The grain convoy walked slowly all the way, the sun seemed to be on fire, the roasting people sweated their cheeks and backs, Wei Qing wiped a handful of sweat, and the sweat on his face flowed into his mouth, bitter and salty.

"Order, rest!" Wei Qing ordered loudly.

Bai Bu was shocked in his faith. "We've only walked thirty miles, and we'll have ten more miles to cross the fork in the road." He said softly.

Wei Qing smiled, he put his head to Bai Buxin's ear, lowered his voice and said, "After the fork in the road, the Jin army may not come to rob the grain." ”

Bai Buxin let out a sigh of relief, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.

He still didn't understand Wei Qing's strategy, but at least one thing was certain: Wei Qing was designing a bait, and what he wanted was for Jin Jun to take the bait. Although he didn't know Wei Qing's train of thought, he knew that since Wei Qing said so, he could wait for a victory with peace of mind.

Jin Jun did not disappoint Wei Qing. Just when the Han army had rested enough and was about to hit the road again, the sound of horses' hooves was loud, and the Jin army was coming!

Wei Qing and Bai Buxin looked at the place where the horse's hooves came from at the same time. The faces of the two suddenly turned pale at the same time.

Not one or two hundred, not three or five hundred, but a thousand!

This was quite unexpected.

Whether it is the Han army or the Jin army, they don't want to invest too many troops on the grain road, the Han army is afraid that investing too many troops on the grain road will reduce the main attack force, and the Jin army is even more afraid, so the Jin army has not invested too many troops. But today, Wei Qing deliberately reduced the number of guards to lure the Jin army, and the Jin army was facing a serious grain and grass crisis, so he actually sent a large number of troops to grab grain desperately, which Wei Qing never expected. But now it's too late to say anything, and we can only do what we do.

Wei Qing pointed to the two carts piled with firewood: "Light the fire, burn these two carts, let go of the horses pulling the carts, don't let Jin Jun catch the horses!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly carried out the order, seeing that the Jin army was getting closer and closer, the number was ten times that of the Han army, and the horses that pulled the cart were tied to the cart with belts, which was already difficult to solve, and the enemy was at present, some Han soldiers couldn't help but panic, the more anxious the more they couldn't get rid of it, and several elders who were anxious shouted and cursed again and again.

Bai Buxin stepped forward, brushed out his sword, and cut off the belt of the bolted horse with only one sword, and shouted: "If you can't untie it, cut it open!" ”

Awakened by a word, the soldiers cut their belts and drove their horses to the fields by the roadside.

"Retreat!" Wei Qing saw that the fires on the two carts had been lit, and the horses also rushed to the field, and with a wave of his hand, he retreated in the direction of Fangxian with his soldiers.

The soldiers of the Jin army urged their horses and rushed forward.

Wei Qing retreated backwards with alternate cover of soldiers, and Bai Buxin reminded Wei Qing beside him: "We are retreating too slowly. Wei Qing smiled slightly: "They won't be interested in chasing us." ”

Bai Buxin was stunned for a moment and looked at Jin Jun. Sure enough, the soldiers of the Jin Army did not pursue them at all, but rushed to the burning grain cart in a hurry, shouting loudly to put out the fire.

Bai Buxin's mind was like a lightning bolt, and he suddenly understood!

Wei Qing piled those firewood on the car, not at all to pull it back and let General Wu see how much grain and grass the grain and road officials had withheld from them, or that sentence, even if he didn't believe it, General Wu couldn't help it, how could Wei Qing not understand? Wei Qing's purpose is to wait for the Jin Jun to come and burn it for them!

The Jin army was now in great need of grain and grass, but they had just been defeated, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and they did not dare to launch a large-scale campaign. In this case, Wei Qing deliberately dispersed the strength of the grain protection army, so that the Jin army thought that there was an opportunity, and only in this way could the Jin army be lured to attack, otherwise they were just protecting the grain once, and they could not defeat the arrogance of the Jin army. When the Jin army came to attack, Wei Qing lit those firewoods, making the Jin army think that the Han army was setting fire to the grain and grass in order to prevent them from seizing the grain and grass, so that the Jin army was in a hurry to grab the grain and grass, so they could only extinguish the fire first, and they would not pursue the Han army. Wei Qing let go of the horses pulling the cart, but the Jin army would not give up the grain that they had grabbed with great difficulty, they would definitely pull up the cart themselves and try to pull the grain back to the camp, so that they would no longer be able to walk through the fields and return to the camp as casually as they came, they could only follow the road from the fork in the road to the left. The problem is that there are already Han soldiers in ambush at the fork in the road!

Bai Buxin couldn't help but think of the time when he was a teenager, when the villagers caught monkeys. His village is built on a hill and is often troubled by monkeys, so a villager dug a small hole in the wall that only holds a fist and put a large handful of peanuts in the hole. When the monkey saw the peanut, he put his hand in and grabbed it, but he couldn't retract his hand again, and the villagers came to catch the monkey, but the monkey wanted to run away and refused to give up the peanut, and was finally captured alive by the villagers.

Now, this large convoy of grain and grass is the peanuts in the hole.

"Wonderful!" This series of clues was quickly pierced in Bai Buxin's mind, and he couldn't help blurting out.

Wei Qing just smiled slightly. He didn't believe what he was talking about, but now was not the time to enjoy the feeling of being praised, not to mention that he was too tempting under this bait, and the Jin Army had dispatched so many soldiers, so he needed to be very careful.

"Stop backing off!" Wei Qing ordered, "First Force, throw torches!" ”

The soldiers of the 1st Brigade rushed not far from the Jin army and threw fire at the cart.

A hundred-member team of the Jin army rushed out shouting loudly and stopped on the road to prevent the Han army from coming again to throw torches to ignite the grain and grass.

Wei Qing and Bai Buxin smiled at the same time.

Jin Jun was fooled.

They thought that the Han army was really eager to burn the grain and grass, so they desperately protected the grain and grass, and the Han army, which was no longer more than 100 people, had no heart to fight, and just wanted to pull the grain and grass back to their camp as soon as possible.

Wei Qing whispered a few words to Bai Buxin.

Bai Buxin nodded, turned around and ordered fifty Han soldiers, left the road and walked through the fields, shouting all the way to the Han army camp. Wei Qing led another fifty soldiers, holding torches, and followed the Jin army from a distance, neither approaching nor giving up.

From the Jin army's point of view, it was obvious that the Han army had sent some people to the camp for help, while the other part was following them. This stimulated the Jin army even more, and the general of the Jin army led by him was a commander of a thousand commanders, whose name was Tuhuan, and he shouted loudly, urging the Jin army to speed up the cart. Although the number of Jin troops is large, but the thirty carts have to be pulled by manpower, a car of dozens of people, divided into several shifts to push and pull, still all tired and covered in sweat, fortunately, the Han army now only has 50 people to follow them from afar, as long as the brigade of Han troops to come to the aid to transport the grain and grass downstream, these 50 people are not a problem.

The soldiers of the Jin Army took turns pushing the cart all the way, and they saw that they were about to reach a fork in the road. Turn left at the fork and go down to the direction of the Jin Army camp. But after walking down ten miles, the Jin soldiers were already tired and almost lying down. Wei Qing led fifty Han soldiers to follow from afar, and it looked as if the Jin army was pushing a cart to transport grain for the Han army, and the Han army was escorting there.

"Centurion, they're going to snatch the grain and grass!" A chief couldn't help but remind Wei Qing.

Wei Qing smiled: "Don't worry, they will help us transport grain and grass to our camp." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a shout in the woods at the fork in the road, and the firelight flickered, revealing the banner of the Han army.

Tuohuan was taken aback. Although he didn't know how many Han troops were in ambush, no matter how many people were holding torches, it was certain. At this time, the grain and grass are very close to the woods, and if you throw it hard, the torch may be thrown on the cart. He was afraid that the Han army in ambush burned the grain and grass, and the grain and grass would be burned, even if the Han army in ambush was killed, it was not worth it, but the woods were on the left side of the road, and they were blocking the road on which the Jin army returned to the camp.

"Go straight ahead!" Seeing that he couldn't turn left, Tuhuan ordered him to go straight, intending to forcibly cross the Xiaozhi River first.

Before the words fell, only a shout was heard, and a team of 100 Han soldiers appeared on the other side of the river, each with a rocket in his hand, about to shoot a grain and grass cart.

Angry scolding. He has thousands of troops, but he does not dare to give up the grain and grass to attack the Han army, at this time in the woods on the left is the Han army, behind the Han army, the other side of the river is still the Han army, it seems that the number is not much, but one was accidentally burned grain and grass, his head is only afraid of not protecting, not to mention that this place is not far from the Han army camp, in case the Han army is big, he this attack is to steal chickens instead of eating a handful of rice, he can only use the vast majority of military power on the cart, urging the grain and grass to go fast, but now which direction should go?

Tuhuan was anxious and at a loss, a thin Han man came out of the crowd and came to him. This Han man is Zhang Sande. After he and Jin Jun converged, he walked all the way, seeing that the road to turn left could not be taken, and the way forward could not be achieved, and Tuhuan had no idea, he came to Tuhuan at the moment, and said to Tuhuan through an interpreter: "General, there is a shoal ten miles upstream to cross the river!" ”

Dejoy.

Since the Han army is ambushed here, then they will not ambush upstream anyway, this is not only a matter of numbers, but also a matter of IQ. The Jin army camp is downstream, how can the Han army ambush upstream? As long as they make a detour, they can safely cross the river, ensure the safety of grain and grass, and transport these thirty carts of precious grain and grass back.

So, the high-IQ Dehuan ordered the cart to turn right and go upstream.

The chief beside Wei Qing looked at Jin Jun dumbfounded. He really couldn't understand why the Jin army listened to Captain Wei so much, Captain Wei said that they would pull grain and grass to the Han army camp, and these Jin troops really pulled in that direction! Wei Qing called him twice before he reacted: "Here!" ”
