Xiong Kuohai and Cao Dan led their troops to ambush the grain convoy of the Yuan army, killed more than 2,000 enemies, beheaded the rebel general An Lushan of the Youzhou army, captured more than 3,000 people, and captured 70,000 stones of grain and grass and 100,000 stones of forage.

At night, in an abandoned town in Lucheng County, Yuyang County, a bonfire was blazing, and thousands of victorious Sui soldiers were slaughtering sheep, slaughtering cattle and barbecue meat to celebrate the victory. Counting today, they have intercepted ten grain transportation teams of the Yuan Army, killed more than 10,000 enemies, burned countless grain and grass baggage, and now annihilated the Yuan Army's grain transportation guards from the beginning of the small fight. Everyone's face was filled with joy.

"Hahaha, what kind of Yuan army iron horseman, vulnerable! Luo Yi Lao'er is really useless, I really don't know how he became the governor of Youzhou in the first place. ”

"That's it, that's it! If there is Zhang Dashuai as the governor of Youzhou, and there are generals like General Cao, General Xiong, and General Zhao, how can the Turks and Jurchen barbarians enter Youzhou! ”

。。。。。。。。。。

At the east end of the town is a granary, but the grain in it has long been looted by the Yuan army. It became the temporary command post of the Sui army.

Song Zhengben, a military advisor with a sickly face, walked into the house quickly, and said excitedly to the three people in the room: "Three generals, good news! I have just interrogated a partial general of the Yuan army who has just been captured, according to him, there is a large granary of the Yuan army less than sixty miles away from us, and there were 10,000 defenders before, but due to the unfavorable battle between Temujin and Yelu Abaoji, half a month ago some troops were transferred from Youzhou, and now there are less than 4,000 defenders there! ”

"Is that serious, sir?"

When Cao Dan heard this, he immediately stood up: "If this is really the case, it is really a godsend!" ”

Xiong Kuohai also grinned and said: "Yes, less than four thousand defenders, this is the fat meat sent to our mouths!" ”

"In that case, what are we waiting for?" Cao Dan said excitedly: "The soldiers are fast, Lao Xiong, the military advisor, General Zhao, send troops immediately!" ”

Zhao Yun frowned slightly, and said with some suspicion: "Grain and grass are the most important of the three armies, and the commander of the Yuan army, Tuo Lei, is also a soldier, how could he make such a serious mistake?" Will there be fraud in this? ”

Cao Dan waved his hand indifferently: "General Zhao is too high at towing mines, what art of war can a Turkic barbarian know?" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head, and said with a straight face: "General Cao, underestimating the enemy is a taboo for soldiers. After I entered Yuyang County on the order of Zhang Shuai, I fought more than a dozen battles with the Yuan army, and the ability to drag mines is obvious to everyone. ”

"What General Zhao said is good!"

Song Zhengben nodded slowly when he heard this: "This tow mine is not Temujin's eldest son, but he can be entrusted with a heavy task by Temujin, and he will be in charge alone, and he will have something extraordinary." ”

Cao Dan was immediately displeased when he heard this, and said in a long voice: "Then according to your wishes, will we not move?" ”

Cao Dan was so eager not simply for meritorious service, but for other purposes.

Cao Dan is Dou Jiande's brother-in-law, and his sister is Dou Xianniang's biological mother.

Now in Yang Gao's harem, Xue and Lin's two daughters have such a high-ranking and powerful backer as Xue Rengui outside the palace; Xiao Yanyan's elder brother Yelu Abaoji is a Hu chieftain, and he may dominate the entire grassland like Emperor Wen of Sui did when he raised the Qimin Khan a few decades ago. Although Xiao Yuehua's father Xiao Mo is also guilty, she also has a queen mother Xiao Meiniang who protects her, but Dou Xianniang and Shangguan Wan'er have no relatives and have no relatives, and they are obviously a head shorter in the palace.

Cao Dan desperately wanted to make meritorious contributions, just to build momentum for Dou Xianniang, at least not to let her be bullied in the palace.

"No!"

Song Zhengben shook his head and said: "Now that Temujin is also fighting on all sides, and his troops are stretched, it cannot be ruled out that Temujin dragged the father and son to make a mistake in their busy schedule." If this is the case, we will not miss the opportunity, and we will be laughed at if we spread it! ”

Cao Dan said impatiently: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work!" Strategist, what do you say you should do? ”

Song Zhengben replied in a deep voice: "Today's great victory celebration, all the soldiers are a little drunk, and even if they want to send troops tonight, they can't do it." In my opinion, why don't we go there tonight to observe the situation first, and then decide whether to send troops? I think even if you are fast, it shouldn't be bad for this night! ”

Cao Dan, Zhao Yun, and Xiong Kuohai glanced at each other and nodded at each other.

At that moment, a few people left the warehouse, led dozens of personal soldiers out of the town, and went straight to the location of the granary provided by the Yuan army prisoners.

Because of the war, the entire Youzhou is basically ten rooms and nine empty, and Yuyang County is the first county to be occupied by the Turks, and it has already become a desolation under its rule.

Xiong Kuohai, Zhao Yun and his party did not encounter any trouble along the way, they did not stop, and arrived at their destination after about an hour.

A few people turned over and dismounted, leaving a few personal soldiers to guard the horses, and walked up a high slope to look at the Yuan army grain camp in the distance.

As far as the eye could see, I saw that the outside of the grain camp was heavily guarded, and more than a dozen guard towers were placed on both sides of the gate, and at least three soldiers were responsible for guarding each guard tower. There are three patrols in the front and back of the grain camp to find sentry.

Seeing this, Xiong Kuohai couldn't help but be furious: "Damn, I was almost deceived by that traitor." I'm going to smash that guy when I get back! ”

"No!"

Song Zhengben smiled and shook his head and said, "Before, I was suspicious of that Yuan army general, but now after looking at the perimeter guard of this grain camp, I am already convinced that that the general did not lie to me!" ”

Sensing the incomprehensible eyes of the majestic sea, Song Zhengben explained with a smile: "The art of war has clouds, the virtual is real, and the real is needed." General Xiong, if the general of the Yuan army is deceiving us, all this is a trap, and this grain battalion is a bait to tempt us to attack, then Tuo Lei should make this grain battalion look empty and lax!

It is precisely because the Yuan army is heavily guarded that it shows their internal emptiness. Otherwise, why are they so vigilant? ”

"Makes sense!"

Xiong Kuohai touched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "The military division is the military division." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that I would let go of such a good place! ”

"In that case, then I'll go back and allocate troops and horses, and I'll send troops early tomorrow morning!"

Seeing that Song Zhengben also agreed to send troops, Cao Dan immediately spoke. As he spoke, he also glanced at Zhao Yun, who had opposed the dispatch of troops at the beginning.

Although Zhao Yun was still a little uneasy in his heart, he listened to Song Zhengben's words, and saw that Cao Dan's eyes were not good, and secretly thought that if he was unfounded and opposed, he would inevitably cause displeasure to everyone, so he nodded immediately.
