Chapter 784: The whereabouts of the grain transport team are exposed

"Lord, Lu Bu has collected 300,000 stones of grain and grass from Yuan Shu, will he really attack Cao Cao and Liu Bei?"

In the governor's mansion of Jizhou, after Xu Shu received the news, he came to report and asked Zhao Hui at the same time.

"Don't worry, Lu Bu will definitely not help Yuan Shu." Zhao Hui said.

300,000 stone of grain and grass, all the way to Xuzhou, the scale of the team is huge, and the news is difficult to hide.

Zhao Hui's people in Xuzhou got the news as soon as possible.

"Cao Cao, Liu Bei will definitely not sit idly by, they will not let these grains and grass be easily sent to Xuzhou and easily handed over to Lu Bu." Jia Xu shook the feather fan and said slowly.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei are very likely to send people to rob this batch of grain and grass.

Even if they can't rob it, they will set it on fire, they don't want Lu Bu to grow.

"Lu Bu wants to protect these grains and grasses, it seems to be very difficult." Xu Shu said.

From Shouchun to Xuzhou, although you can not pass through the boundary of Yanzhou on the way.

However, the grain transport team has been exposed, and Cao Cao does not need to discharge a large army, but only needs to send a small group of men and horses, disguised as homeless people or caravans, or go directly to the small road.

It only takes a few rounds of rockets to burn all the grain and grass of 300,000 stones, and not a single grain is given to Lu Bu.

"If this batch of grain and grass is burned by Cao Cao's people, it is very likely that Lu Bu will really fall to Yuan Shu and send troops to Yanzhou." Jia Xu said.

"I'm afraid this is also what Yuan Shu is happy to see." Guo Jiadao.

The grain channel is definitely very important, and under normal circumstances, it will never be exposed so easily.

The grain transport team sent by Yuan Shu had no intention of hiding his whereabouts at all, and there were not many soldiers sent by Yuan Shu to escort the grain team.

Zhao Hui didn't want to see Lu Bu support Yuan Shu.

He also has confidence in Lu Bu.

But now that Jia Xu mentioned it, this may not be nothing, but it is very big.

"Need to remind Lu Bu?"

"If Cao Cao wants to do it, I'm afraid it won't be too late to notify."

"Also, Cao Cao acted quickly and never dragged mud and water. When we learned the news, Cao Cao probably had already made a move. ”

"Still negligent."

Zhao Hui shook his head.

Although the relationship with Lu Bu is quite friendly, it is impossible for Lu Bu to obey Zhao Hui in everything.

Even with that secret letter, it was possible for Lu Bu to change his choice.

Zhao Hui said: "Although it may be too late, I still send someone to Xuzhou and talk to Lu Bu." ”

Jia Xu shook his head: "The lord directly sent someone to inform Lu Bu, Lu Bu may not believe it, and will think that the lord has another purpose." ”

Guo Jia nodded, agreeing with what Jia Xu said, and said, "Now let's wait and see what happens." ”

From Lu Bu opening his mouth to Yuan Shu, asking for 300,000 stone grains and grass, and now detaining Yang Hong, it is already out of Zhao Hui's calculations.

"Lu Bu has Chen Gong as a plan, and Cao Cao's account is full of talents, and Chen Gong Xun You may be able to see it." Jia Xu said.

Xuzhou, Xiapi City!

Lu Bu has been very carefree these days.

"Lord Yang, the Zhong family has already sent someone to transport grain and grass, as soon as the grain and grass arrive, I will let you go back immediately."

Yang Hong didn't speak, he turned his head directly and didn't look at Lu Bu.

As a strategist under Yuan Shu's account, although Yang Hong has a tendon, he is definitely not stupid.

He had already realized that Lu Bu had fooled him before.

He was not afraid of death, and he didn't have a good impression of Lu Bu, so he put it directly on his face.

Lu Bu also came over to say a word, and left after speaking.

His goal has been achieved, and he will not kill Yang Hong now, so as not to cause trouble.

300,000 stone of grain and grass, although it is already on the way, but after all, it has not yet arrived.

Before you get it, there are still accidents.

"General, Yuan Shu is making a big show of transporting grain, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives." Chen Gong came to find Lu Bu.

"How?"

Lu Bu has changed, he is already forty, and he has lost his former edge.

Although Chen Gong was just a county order at the beginning, he was able to join forces with Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, almost overthrowing Yanzhou and leaving Cao Cao homeless.

His resourcefulness is also top-notch.

It's just that he also represents a family.

At the beginning, Cao Cao became the pastor of Yanzhou, and Chen Gong contributed a lot.

But it didn't take long for Chen Gong to regret it.

He can make Cao Cao the pastor of Yanzhou, or he can pull Cao Cao down.

It's a pity that although it has been planned for a long time, it still failed.

But in this regard, it is better than many people.

Those families in Youzhou and Jizhou, even if there are many people who want to turn Zhao Hui over, but none of them can achieve the level of Chen Gong.

If Lu Bu had fully followed Chen Gong's strategy, Lu Bu would not have been defeated when he was in Yanzhou.

However, although Chen Gong is very resourceful, he is not quick to be wise, he needs a long time to plan, and he will be a little worse than Xun You, Guo Jia and others to deal with emergencies.

This time, the grain transportation team sent by Yuan Shu, Chen Gong also thought about it for three days before he noticed that there was something abnormal.

"The food transport team is too large, and the guards are too small. There are also no checkpoints along the way. Chen Gong shook his head and said, "If the general is transporting grain and grass, will it be like this?" ”

Lu Bu frowned and said, "No, the grain road must be guarded by heavy soldiers." ”

Chen Gong sighed and said: "But Yuan Shu's current grain transportation team is like a caravan, with their numbers, the bandits dare not move the grain team, but what if it is an army that breaks in?" ”

"Although the grain transport team is escorted by 5,000 Yuan troops, there is no general in charge, as long as there are 1,000 elite soldiers, all the grain and grass can be burned."

Chen Gong came up with the conclusion of his own analysis.

300,000 stone of grain and grass, Yuan Shu is like child's play, let people transport it to Xuzhou.

At the beginning, it was almost impossible to encounter enemy attacks from Jizhou to Youzhou, and there were still 20,000 elite soldiers to escort them.

Lu Budao: "From Shouchun to Xuzhou, who will intercept it?" Gongtai refers to Cao Cao? ”

Lu Bu is not stupid, Chen Gong has already pointed out, and he immediately thought of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Chen Gong nodded: "It is very likely that Cao Apu will block the grain team, but if Cao Cao wants to send troops in on a large scale, he will inevitably be discovered, so it is very likely that he will only send a thousand elite soldiers with the purpose of burning the grain and grass." ”

After a pause, Chen Gong continued: "In addition, Yuan Shu is also possible. ”

"What does this mean?"

Regarding Chen Gong's sentence, Lu Bu didn't understand it for a while.

Chen Gong thought for three days, and he said: "300,000 stones of grain and grass, Yuan Shu will definitely not be reconciled." It is very likely that Yuan Shu sent someone to secretly follow, and after the grain transportation team entered the boundary of Xuzhou, he pretended to be robbed, and then secretly sent back to Shouchun. Who is responsible for this, and what will the general say then? ”

"What the public station said is reasonable, and immediately send people to protect the grain team along the way." Lu Budao.

It is necessary not only to guard against Cao Cao's burning of grain, but also to guard against Yuan Shu's self-theft.

If the grain and grass were brought back to Shouchun by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu could be pushed to Lu Bu's head, and the grain and grass were robbed in Xuzhou, and it had nothing to do with Yuan Shu.

When the time comes, Lu Bu will either directly turn against Yuan Shu and get nothing.

Either they will send troops to attack Cao Cao, or there will be no benefit.
