Although Cao Zhen wanted to laugh, but when he thought about it, in fact, he couldn't blame Cao Ren for anything, this side was already short of food and grass, so even if Cao Ren brought troops to come, there was actually not so much food and grass for him. Of course, if it is within a period of time, it is indeed enough, but the previous war of the own side has always lost, and the grain and grass are often lost. And after such a long time, it's really not uncommon for Cao Ren to be short of food.

At this time, Zhu Zan said to the soldier who delivered the letter: "Okay, we all know, you go down to rest first, and come back later!" ”

"No! Two generals, retire under the next! ”

After saying this, the soldier withdrew, and someone took him down to rest. After the soldiers left, Zhu Zan said to Cao Zhen: "Zidan, how is it?" ”

Cao Zhen smiled bitterly at this time: "There is a shortage of grain and grass on the front line now, we have to hurry up and transport some of it!" ”

But isn't it, this must not be delayed for too long, otherwise, something will happen, and it will be a big deal.

Both of them read Cao Ren's handwritten letter, and they both recognized Cao Ren's font, which was true. And from Cao Ren, the two of them could see that he was indeed in a hurry, so ......

Zhu Zan nodded, but the grain transportation is certain, the key is who to let go. You can't assign one casually, this is not necessarily smooth sailing along the way from Xiangyang to Changsha, so for the sake of insurance, it is safer to go to one by yourself or Cao Zhen.

Therefore, Zhu Zan said: "Zidan, at this time, it will finally fall on you and me, or you will stay in Xiangyang." I personally escorted the grain and grass to Changsha? "Zhu Zan is indeed such an idea, anyway, in addition to being Cao Zhen, then let's go by myself.

As a result, Cao Zhen waved his hand, "No need, I think you still stay here." I'll take it personally, after all, I know my uncle well! ”

When Zhu Zan heard this, he nodded, if you really count it, Cao Ren is actually Cao Zhen's uncle, so acquaintances are easy to do-

At least he knew. Cao Zhen went, but he was much stronger than himself. As for what I didn't say before, it's not that Zhu Zan has any concerns, but I just think it's better to go by myself. After all, Cao Zhen is really an idea. I don't know very well, so it's not a big deal to go on my own trip. But now that Cao Zhen said that he wanted to take the initiative to go, then for Zhu Zan, he was really unhappy, so "why not".

Therefore, he smiled at Cao Zhen and said, "Since Zidan said so, then I will stay in Xiangyang." Zidan personally went to Changsha for a trip! Cao Zhen nodded when he heard this, he just thought so, and stayed in Xiangyang with himself. It's better to go out and take a trip. If you want to say that you have been here for a long time, you are not so willing to stay here. There's nothing going on all day, so it's really better to go out and see.

So he told Zhu Zan directly, just by virtue of the relationship between the two, it is true, what Cao Zhen basically said. Zhu Zan will not object-

So in this way, Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen agreed. It was still Zhu Zan who was responsible for guarding Xiangyang, and Cao Zhen personally escorted the grain and grass to Changsha to see Cao Ren.

In the end, I only heard Zhu Zan say: "Without further ado." Zidan should hurry up and get on the road, and take that soldier with him by the way! ”

Cao Zhen nodded when he heard this, why didn't he think so, so he said: "So good!" After I sorted it out, I went to Changsha! ”

Zhu Zan nodded, and then instructed the soldier: "Go and call the messenger from before, and say that I have something important to look for him!" ”

"No!"

After a while, the one who delivered the letter before arrived, and after hurriedly greeting Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen, Zhu Zan said: "After a while, General Cao Zhen will go with you to escort grain and grass to Changsha!" ”

When the messenger heard this, he was overjoyed, "No! General Cao will definitely be happy when he sees it! ”――

Zhu Zan ordered to go down and let people prepare grain and grass, and after Cao Zhen was ready, he took the men and horses and escorted the grain and grass away with the messengers. As for Zhu Zan, he personally sent Cao Zhen more than a mile to Xiangyang City before it was finished. Although it is good to go to Changsha for a while, Zhu Zan believes that with Cao Zhen's ability, nothing will happen. Unless the Liangzhou army knew the news and sent a large army to intercept it along the way, there was really no way.

But such a thing, Zhu Zan thinks that Cao Zhen will not encounter it. Not to mention that Ma Chao is now in Jiangling, he will not know the news of his lack of grain and grass at all, that is, Huang Zhong in Changsha, who is not known to anyone.

Then he doesn't know, so Ma Chao in Jiangling may know, so as long as the Liangzhou army doesn't know the news and doesn't make any moves, then Cao Zhen won't have any difficulties and obstacles along the way. Of course, if there is a robbery along the way, it will be unless it is dead, but Jingzhou doesn't seem to have such outlaws.

Cao Zhen escorted the grain and grass to Changsha, Zhu Zan was still guarding in Xiangyang, the two had a clear division of labor, and each of them had something to do-

Cao Ren and Lu Su led their troops to Luo County, and it was Gan Ning Gan Xingba, who took refuge in Ma Chao in Jingzhou, who guarded Luo County. This is also Ma Chao personally appointed after seizing Changsha and stabilizing it. After all, of course Ma Chao knows the importance of Luo County, so he also attaches great importance to it, otherwise he would not let Gan Ning go to garrison. And the people and horses in the city are not too few, there are 5,000 Liangzhou troops, so it is self-evident that Ma Chao values Luo County.

And when he heard that Tanma reported that the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army were coming to Luo County, Gan Ning smiled. Well said heart! I was worried that I couldn't follow my lord to fight, and my lord arranged for me to be here. But it's really "sleepy and someone sends a pillow", so you can come whatever you want. I wanted to deal with Liu Bei Hanjun before, but I didn't have a chance, and my lord didn't take me there. But now the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army are sent to the door.

It's great. For Gan Ning, although he is not like Cui An, there is no war and he can't go on the expedition, he is troubled. If he doesn't kill, his hands will itch. But it's almost the same.

He is not as strict as Cui An, but he is not light, they are all militants! Think about it, Gan Ning was born as a water thief, so he is on the Yangtze River. He really has to fight against people almost every day. So this has developed his belligerent character, which is actually not difficult to understand. As for Cui An, there is no need to say more.

Seeing the two armies camping, although Gan Ning did not underestimate the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army, he would not look down on them in any way. So at this time, he muttered to himself, "The Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army are nothing more than that!" ”

Of course, in Gan Ning's words, it is not that he looks down on their coalition army, but now Cao Ren is leading the Yanzhou army and the Jiangdong army led by Lu Su. After so many battles, there really aren't many people left. If it comes over at once, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Then Gan Ning would never say that. But obviously, this is indeed a big gap from what he thought. At least Gan Ning thinks that there are only so many people left in the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army that they dare to come to Changsha? Are they not afraid of the annihilation of the whole army?

Yes, Gan Ning didn't think that he could wipe out the other party by himself. But Huang Zhong's ability, he also knows-

As for him, he knew it in his heart. Then Huang Zhong doesn't look old, but his martial arts are a little higher than himself. And the ability to synthesize is only above himself, but definitely not below himself.

After a few words of instructions to the soldiers, Gan Ning went down to the city, at this time it was nothing more than to go up to the city to take a look, and there was no more. For Gan Ning, he looked at it a few times, but he couldn't find too much of the enemy army, but he knew in his heart that as the main general, he still had to show his soldiers, so even if it was for show, he had to let them know that he didn't care about the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army, and even had the confidence to hold the city.

Compared with Gan Ning's side, at this time, everyone in the Chinese army tent of Cao Ren of Yanzhou Army was there, even Lu Su and Zhang Liao were there, and everyone was present.

At this time, I heard Cao Ren say: "Gan Ning, the guard general of Luo County, can be regarded as a character, by no means general, not comparable to Huang Xu in southern Hunan and Mi Fang before!" ”――

Cao Ren's words, everyone couldn't stop nodding, isn't that the case. Speaking of which, this Gan Ning is definitely famous in Jingzhou, and there are Jiangdong in Yizhou next to it, which are all famous figures, and even if they are in the world, they are not unknown, this is right.

At this time, Lu Su spoke, "What General Cao said is right, not to mention Gan Ning's reputation in the world, just say that his people are on the front line of the Yangtze River, and they are famous figures, and no one can match them!" ”

After all, Lu Su is a member of the Jiangdong Army, so he naturally knows more about Gan Ning, and he knows a little more than Cao Ren, which is certain. So he also pointed out, on the long-term front, no one is more famous than the "Jinfan Thief" Gan Ning Gan Xingba. If there was such a person, it is impossible for him not to have heard of it, but the truth is, there really is none.

Everyone nodded when they heard this, obviously knowing Gan Ning. But this party can't "grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige", so Niu Jin spoke, "General, sir, let me lead the army to seize this Luo County, he Gan Ning does have two hits, but I am not afraid of him!" ”――

Cao Ren nodded to Niu Jin with a smile, but before he could say anything, Lu Su smiled and said, "Okay!" This Niu general is a fast man and a fast talker, strong! But for Gan Ning and his people, don't be careless, so I build yì, let's rest for another day, and it's not too late to march the day after tomorrow! I don't know what General Cao thinks, what? ”

Cao Ren knew that Lu Su was more secure in doing things, and this day off did not mean that he was afraid of Na Gan Ning, on the contrary, Lu Su was not afraid of anything, Cao Ren knew it. So he glanced at Guo Huai and Niu Jin, of course, Kou Feng also looked at him, after all, the other party had just joined him, and it was really bad for him to feel that he was favoring one over the other, in that case, it was really good for himself and himself, but it was not good.

As a result, of course, Guo Huai nodded slightly to Cao Ren, which means that this matter can be agreed. In fact, in his opinion, this is also more beneficial to himself, so it was Lu Su who took the initiative to put it forward, so why not do it.

After that, Niu Jin gave Cao Ren a secret look, which meant that the general should not agree, don't agree-

And when Cao Ren looked at him like that, he really thought it was quite interesting. Speaking of Niu Jin, he has been with him for many years, so he naturally knows a lot about his character. Therefore, he was in a hurry to attack the city, and it was not that he did not understand, let alone could not understand.

But how to say it, if Lu Su didn't say this, maybe he would let Niu Jin lead his troops to attack the city tomorrow. But everyone took the initiative to put it forward, first, it is good for both parties, and second, it is not good not to give him Lu Su face. If it is really something that needs to be fought for by reason, and you must fight for it yourself, then you may not care too much about others, anyway, it is right to fight on the basis of reason.

But on such a trivial matter, Cao Ren naturally did not want to refute Lu Su's face, so he definitely agreed. However, Niu Jin obviously didn't think about it so much, as for the final Kou Feng, he was the same as Guo Huai, nodding slightly, which meant that he agreed. So whether it was the attitude of the three of them or Cao Ren's previous thoughts, they had already agreed with what Lu Su said. (To be continued)
