Looking at the stones that slipped from the grain bag, Xu Shu understood that this grain team was simply to attract the elite of Cao Jun to come and rob the grain, I am afraid that Cao Jun was able to find this place so easily, most likely because the lord deliberately leaked the news.

Silently turning over the grain bag, Xu Shu turned his head, looked at the stunned captain, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is rotten in my heart, don't tell anyone!" ”

"Whoa!" The lieutenant nodded, and then said a little unwillingly: "But sir, why!?" ”

Desperately protecting, but only batches of stones, which made him feel that their previous sacrifice was meaningless.

"Attract the elite of the enemy army to attack, and take the opportunity to destroy the elite of the Cao army." Xu Shu sighed, this is also the reason why he ordered the silence, if these soldiers learned the truth, I am afraid they would not fight to the death to protect them, in this way, the plans of the big camp will be chaotic, he secretly scolded himself for being troublesome, what is there to look at?

Tactically speaking, this is naturally no problem, but for those soldiers who fight to the death and give their lives in order to protect the grain route, this is actually not fair, but war is like this, if you want to win, sacrifice is inevitable, the difference is that some sacrifices are passive, and some are active.

Taking the initiative to sacrifice can bring a greater chance of victory, but it is also easy to arouse people's resistance.

The lieutenant responded in a low voice, continued to work with Xu Shu, pretending not to know anything, escorting the grain cart to Guandu, along the way, encountered two Cao army raids and ambushes, under Xu Shu's suggestion, with the grain truck as bait, easily counter-ambushed twice, and defeated the Cao army who came to raid and ambush, two days later, the grain truck arrived at the Guandu camp, and Xu Shu brought the captain to see Chen Mo.

"Lord, once this matter is known to the soldiers, it can be big or small, and you must guard against it." Xu Shu frowned and said to Chen Mo.

"What's your name?" Chen Mo nodded, looking at the lieutenant.

"The last general, Meng Tan." The captain bowed to Chen Mo, no matter what, Chen Mo's prestige in the army was still extremely high, even if he did have resentment in his heart, he didn't dare to speak out against Chen Mo.

"Let's be a guard general for a few days." Chen Mo glanced at Meng Tan a few times and nodded.

"Lord, don't you want to continue!?" When Meng Tan heard this, he immediately understood that this strategy of luring the enemy with fake grain would continue, so he was in a hurry and stepped forward to ask.

"Presumptuous!" Dian Wei and Ma Chao took a step forward and shouted, "Who are you?" Do you dare to talk to the lord like this? ”

Chen Mo waved his hand, motioned for the two of them to step back, frowned and looked at Meng Tan and said: "This matter is very important, I have been deployed for more than a month, if you let go at this time, the soldiers who died in this matter for more than a month, their deaths will be meaningless!" Are you sure you want me to give up on this? ”

"This ......" Meng Tan looked entangled, not to mention whether he was qualified to participate in this kind of plan as a captain, even if there were, just like Chen Mo said, he had been deployed for a month, and nearly 2,000 soldiers died in the battle because of this, if he gave up because of his own words, even if Chen Mo listened to him, could he make this decision?

"Battlefield games, and going into battle to kill the enemy are two different things, according to Yuanzhi's words, you are a good general, but when it comes to strategizing, who can you compare here?" Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "Go and hand over to Dian Wei, and in the future, the matter of escorting grain and grass will be done by others." ”

"Whoa!" At this point, if Meng Tanruo dares to say more, that is, he is looking for death.

"Yuan Zhi came just in time, and this matter should be arranged by you." After Meng Tan left, Chen Mo looked at Xu Shu and motioned for him to sit down.

"The lord's move must have a plan, but I don't know why?" Xu Shu knelt down under Chen Mo according to his words, nodded and said hello to Xun You, and then asked.

"Tiger and Leopard Ride!" Chen Mo directly gave his goal and said: "In order to lure Cao Cao into the bait, during this time, the grain transportation route has been changed several times in a row, and each time it is transported from a different city, this time Meng Tan was replaced, and it just made Cao Jun believe that I had not found out the details he arranged in the army, and it was time for him to know where our army's grain storage was." ”

If too many flaws are exposed, Cao Cao will not believe it, but these news were not leaked by Chen Mo on his own initiative, he just arranged a few suitable people in the right positions, and then took advantage of the situation.

And Cao Cao really wants to come to the big one, counting Cao Cao's side, only the tiger and leopard rider can complete this kind of hundred-mile surprise attack task.

"How can the lord be sure that the Cao army will send the tiger and leopard cavalry?" Xu Shu felt that it was a little unsafe, the tiger and leopard cavalry was the elite of Cao Cao's elite, and it was also the elite of the cavalry, now Youzhou, Bingzhou, Xiliang and these horse-producing places were all obtained by Chen Mo, although there are cavalry under Cao Cao, but in the long run, his cavalry will be limited or even cut off by Chen Mo, at this time, if the tiger and leopard cavalry is broken, it will not only affect the combat strength of the Cao army, even if Chen Mo failed to take the Central Plains in one fell swoop, I am afraid that in the next few years, Cao Cao will not want to set up an elite cavalry like the tiger and leopard cavalry.

"I will give him the place where the food is stored, do you think he will send a tiger and a leopard to ride?" Chen Mo smiled.

Xu Shu's eyes widened instantly: "Lord, is this plan too dangerous!?" ”

Cao Cao couldn't refuse this temptation, but for Chen Mo, it was also a risk, even if the tiger and leopard cavalry were wiped out, if the land where the grain was stored was destroyed, in the overall situation, Chen Mo would have to lose.

"There are eighteen such places for grain storage." Chen Mo said with a smile: "It's just that for the rest of the month, our army's grain and grass have been transported from this granary. ”

Xu Shu understood, Chen Mo more than a month ago, after noticing the meticulous work that Cao Jun had planted here, he had already begun to arrange this strategy for robbing grain, and he did not deliberately reveal it, but let the other party find it himself, and even in order to make Cao Cao believe that Chen Mo's grain and grass were hoarded here, in the past month, the grain transportation route has been constantly changing, and the generals who transported the grain have also been changing, and the people Cao Cao sent to attack and disturb the grain road before were also small troops, not to rob grain, but to explore where Chen Mo's grain and grass hoarding is.

Both sides are calculating, Chen Mo wants to kill Cao Cao's elite cavalry, and Cao Cao wants to take a risk and destroy Chen Mo's granary, these two are both tricks to fight for their lives.

"It's a pity that our people couldn't find out where Cao Jun's granary is, otherwise, we can also follow that Cao Cao and go deep behind enemy lines!" Chen Mo smiled.

Immediately, Chen Mo thought of something, looked at Xu Shu and said, "Just in case of accidents, the people who came back with you this time need to be temporarily detained." ”

"It's already in custody." Xu Shu nodded, although there was only one general by his side, Meng Tan, but there were other soldiers who were holding grain, in order to avoid leaking the news, Xu Shu asked people to take care of this group of people after returning to the camp, Xu Shu looked at Chen Mo and said: "In other words, now the lord is ready to close the net?" ”

"Well, you are responsible for this matter, and Cao Cao's meticulous work should also be aware that I am investigating him." Chen Mo nodded and said.

"I don't know who it is? There are a few others, but none of them are relevant. Xu Shu frowned and said, the person who can know Chen Mo's grain route is probably not low.

"Grain officer Han Fu." When Chen Mo talked about this person, he was a little disgusted, Han Fu was a native of Luoyang, although he was not directly promoted by Chen Mo, but it was also a cold family and a Shu class that Chen Mo had wooed, and he had entered the official career after passing the assessment from the academy, Chen Mo began to be suspicious after noticing that Cao Jun could find his own grain every time, but he didn't expect it to be Han Fu at first, he even suspected Zhang He and Han Qiong, but in the end, it was Han Fu who secretly found out, which made Chen Mo feel like he was looking away for the first time, he looked at people, and he never looked badly, This time, it was a mistake.

Xu Shu frowned, the official position of the grain officer is not high, but it is a very important position in the army, and logistics scheduling is inseparable from the grain officer, and Han Fu belongs to the academy faction, and he is considered Chen Mo's protégé, but it turned out that this person chose to betray, no wonder Chen Mo rarely looks at people with emotions.

This person is really damned.

"I understand." Xu Shu saluted Chen Mo, what to do next, he knew, Chen Mo had already completed the early deployment, and the next thing was to set up an ambush according to this granary, wait for the Cao army to attack, and then design a siege, which is not difficult.

"In addition, after this matter is over, bring that Han Fu to me, I want to know, why is he against me?" Chen Mo didn't understand Han Fu's betrayal, was there something wrong with his own system? Or did this fool choose to side with the priesthood? Chen Mo needs to figure this out.

If there is something inadequate in his own system, Chen Mo will see if there is any improvement, but if it is for other reasons, it is not too much to destroy the Han Fu Nine Clan.

"Whoa!" Xu Shu nodded, keeping this matter in mind.

Next, since it is to be designed, Chen Mo has to give Xu Shu the right to fight, and the target is the elite of the enemy, so this army cannot be too bad, Chen Mo is also ready for Xu Shu, and Zhang He cooperates with Xu Shu to complete this matter.

……

On the other side, in the camp of the Cao army, Cao Cao looked at the latest news sent from Chen Mo, turned his head to look at Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao has a result?" ”

"Hmm." Guo Jia nodded and said: "Although Chen Mo has used a lot of means, and our army doesn't know where the grain and grass come from, but judging from the routes of these few times, Chen Mo's grain and grass are all transported from this area. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he looked at the map and was on the verge of the Yellow River, but the nearest city around him was also Longcheng, which was about twenty miles away, not in the city, and quite hidden.

"Bodao is really careful." Cao Cao laughed.

"Lord, do you really want to take a risk?" Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and asked with a frown.

"The fighter plane is fleeting, and Han Fu said in the letter that Chen Mo has begun to suspect that someone has revealed the news, with the wisdom of Bodao, if he misses this time, I am afraid that our army's meticulous work will be detected by him." Cao Cao affirmed.

Guo Jia nodded when he heard the words and no longer persuaded him, there must be a risk in this kind of thing, it depends on how Cao Cao decides, since Cao Cao has made up his mind, as a strategist, there is no need to continue to block it, of course, the premise is that Cao Cao can't go in person, let alone miss, even if he succeeds, if he lets Chen Mo know about it after killing Chen Mo, it will definitely be a life of death.
