Chapter 227: Burning Grain

Liu Bang was not suspicious of Zhou Bo, who returned to Feng County, which was half the success of Chen Ping's plan. Now just wait for Zhou Bo to figure out the defensive details of the granary, and then he can start burning grain.

Li Chen knew in his heart that with the 18,000 soldiers in his hands, let alone completely exterminate the Liu Bang group, it was unrealistic to capture the county seat of Fengxian County, and now he could only rely on strategy to exterminate the Liu Bang group. The bell must also be tied to the bell, and the people can resist Daqin because of the food, and they can also resist him Liu Bang because of the food. Eighty percent of Liu Bang's subordinates are composed of disaster victims, these people serve as soldiers in order to be able to eat well, if they can't eat, then these people are afraid that they will make a fuss first.

The most common sentence in the history books of the previous life is about the historical limitations of the peasant uprising, and the peasant uprisings have rarely succeeded in the past and present, and it has always been the big families who can influence the change of dynasties. This is also the reason why Li Chen wants to take Liu Bang first, this battle Li Chen can only win but not lose. Compared with Xiang Yu of the family, Liu Bang, who started from scratch, is obviously a soft persimmon.

As long as Chen Ping's plan is successfully implemented, once Liu Bang's grain is burned, there will be no chance of turning defeat into victory. Xiang Yu is different, if you want to defeat Xiang Yu, you can only kill him, otherwise Xiang Yu can pull up a team at any time if he has money and food. If you don't die if you fight a snake, you will suffer from it, Li Chen is not sure that he will kill Xiang Yu with a stick, so he can only defeat Liu Bang in the long concoction of Xiang Yu.

In Fengxian County, almost all the people stay at home. Now the whole city is full of soldiers and horses, and the common people dare not go out for fear of getting into trouble.

"General Zhou, are you going to drink again?"

On the spacious streets in Fengxian County, Zhou Bo walked drunk on the streets. Lu Xuan was patrolling with soldiers, and when he saw the drunken Zhou Bo, he hurriedly asked. Lu Xuan and Zhou Bo are both Peiren, and they are both fellow villagers who know their roots, and the relationship between the two is not bad.

"I'm a defeated general, what can I do but drink." Zhou Bo said self-deprecatingly.

Since returning to Feng County, although Liu Bang has taken Zhou Bo as a confidant. But Zhou Bo looked depressed, drunk and wandering around the city all day long.

Looking at the decadent Zhou Bo, Lu Xuan sighed in his heart. Zhou Bo should already be regarded as a rare all-rounder of Liu Bang, and he is also one of the few who can stand alone. But now that he has lost several battles in succession, he has become a walking corpse who uses alcohol to kill his sorrows. Thinking of this, Lu Xuan was worried about his future.

In the history of the previous life, Lu Xuan's reputation was not very good, and the strong man shouted the slogan that those who offended me and the strong man would be punished even if they were far away, but this was the only minister who took refuge in the Huns in the hundreds of years of history of the Han Dynasty. This man, the bones are a little soft.

Zhou Bo's spirit is a little bad these days, I don't know if it's because of drinking or poor sleep, his eyes are full of bloodshots. The better Liu Bang treated him, the deeper Zhou Bo's guilt became. Zhou Bo knew that he had no way out, and he had to burn this grain and grass no matter what.

These days, Zhou Bo seems to be borrowing wine every day to kill his sorrows, but in fact, he has taken advantage of the time to pull people to drink, and has already investigated the news of the Fengxian grain depot clearly. I don't know if the wine in Feng County is too intoxicating, or if he is really unwary of Zhou Bo. After a few meals, the guard who guarded the grain and grass barely told Zhou Bo the color of his mother-in-law's belly pocket.

Xicheng in Feng County is a gathering place for businessmen, and several large markets in Feng County are also in Xicheng, with numerous restaurants, grain stores, and pawnshops adjacent to each other. Where did Liu Bang's grain come from, it was naturally snatched from these wealthy merchants. Perhaps because of transportation, Liu Bang built a large granary in Xicheng. Now this granary is not only the grain of Feng County, but also the granaries that Liu Bang collected in other cities.

Late at night, the sound of sleeping snoring came from the tent in the barracks, and the soldiers brought by Zhou Bo began to slip out of the tents one after another. These soldiers were all fakes from the elite of the Shenwu Army, and they followed Zhou Bo into the city for the day of burning grain.

Liu Bang's barracks was nothing short of a broken fishing net full of holes for these elite soldiers, and the patrolling soldiers were safely withdrawn from the tent without disturbing them. Fortunately, they were scattered, and the soldiers slept in the Chase bunks. If there is one less person or two people in each tent, you will not be able to see it at all.

The five hundred people of the Shenwu Army gathered next to the small alley less than a kilometer away from the granary, and Zhou Bo had been waiting here for a long time.

The guards of the granary are divided into two layers, the outer guards change their guards every two hours, and the guards inside change their guards twice a day. Zhou Bo's plan was to deceive the guards on the periphery in the name of changing guards, and then kill the guards outside directly when they were far away.

After a few days of groping, Zhou Bo has long remembered the time of changing the guard. There is still about a quarter of an hour to change the guard, and the matter of pretending to change the guard cannot be too early or too late. If it's too early, the guards on the periphery will be suspicious, and if it's too late, it's likely that it's too late.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Bo led a team of more than 200 soldiers towards the direction of the grain depot.

"Who are you?" As soon as he approached the grain depot, the leader in charge of the guard shouted.

"Shift the guard." One of the commanders of the Shenwu Army shouted.

"Brother, it's a little early."

The leader of the defenders seemed to be somewhat skeptical.

"This is my little brother, I was having dinner with him at the battalion commander, and I was afraid that I would delay my business and come early." Zhou Bo opened his mouth to explain.

"You are General Zhou." The leader of the defenders asked tentatively. For example, today it is a little dark, and I can't see my appearance clearly from a distance, and I can barely distinguish it by my voice.

"Thank you General Zhou for your understanding, then let's go first."

Seeing that Zhou Bo brought people here, the leader of the defenders no longer doubted it.

"Alright, it's not early, go back and rest early." Zhou Bo patted him on the shoulder and said.

Zhou Bo's shot flattered the kid, and he hurriedly said, "I'll invite General Zhou to drink another day." ”

Seeing the guards walking away, Zhou Bo waved his hand into the distance, and saw the hidden Shenwu Army soldiers rushing over quickly. This is said to be a granary, but in fact it is a large courtyard that has been built, and inside it is a dome stacked like a mountain bag.

Opening the door of the granary, the soldiers of the Shenwu Army swarmed in one by one. There are only more than 200 soldiers in this granary, where is the opponent of the Shenwu Army. It didn't take long to hear screams coming from the courtyard, and the defenders inside didn't even have a chance to surrender, and they were chopped into mashed meat one by one.

At the same time, the defenders, who had just been tricked away, ran into the soldiers who had come to change their guards.

"We haven't arrived yet, why are you leaving?"

"No, General Zhou has already brought people to change guards, why are you still here."

"The order from above is that we change our guards."

After the two waves of people met, they couldn't help but look at each other after some exchanges. It's just that none of them thought about Zhou Bo's betrayal, they just thought that they had made some trouble.

At this time, the sky in the direction of the granary was fiery red, and the raging fire was already burning.

"it."

"it."

The commander of the two waves of soldiers let out an exclamation at the same time, and then rushed towards the granary.
