Cao Mengde wrote a letter while sending it to Xuchang to urge grain, and the book was omitted:

"The battle of Guandu, stalemate, I am equal to Yuan Shao's strength, if there is enough food and grass, I have a way to kill Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao has many generals, but he does not accept loyalty, does not listen to people's words, although my troops are not as good as Yuan Shao, but I value people and talents, my talent, better than him ten times!"

"In the battle of Guandu, the two sides won each other, but this doesn't mean anything, I take less to more, and focus on the king!"

"I hope the food will come soon!"

A few days later, Cao Mengde received a reply from Xu Du: "Ming Gong wins more with less, which shows that the Duke is eloquent." The public is weak and self-reliant, and the opportunity cannot be missed, if it cannot be controlled, Xuchang is also in danger! Although the Shao army is numerous, there are many and cannot be used, Yun Gong governs it with the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and uses the king's divine martial arts, why worry about Yuan Shao not dying, Yuan Shao not being destroyed? ”

"The public division of the land as a prison, choke its wait to make it in, the situation is extinguished, there will be changes, this plan must not be lost, if the Ming Gong wants to be the king and hegemon, it must be so, this time and place are favorable, and I hope that the prime minister will know it."

Cao Cao finished reading the letter, like an initiation, and a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains slowly opened in front of him.

His state of mind suddenly understood!

When the situation is extinguished, strangle its throat and make it impossible to enter!

So wet, so wet!

This Mr. Xun Yu is really a great talent!

If it weren't for the difference in respect and inferiority, Cao Mengde would have wanted to worship him as a teacher!

Cao Mengde was overjoyed to receive the letter and ordered the soldiers to hold on to the place.

At this moment, Jia Rudao walked in.

Cao Mengde said: "How much food is left in the army?"

"Not enough for this month."

Cao Mengde said: "I want to retreat, what do you think?"

Jia Rudao said: "No! Prime Minister must not! I took a look at this place, but I entered the fortress of Xudu, and I must not retreat, otherwise my life will be in danger! ”

"It's the throat, it's crucial! If Yuan Shao occupies this place, he will drive straight in, and the momentum will be like a bamboo, and it will be difficult for 70,000 horses to resist! And maybe they're all dead! ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Gongzhi, sure enough, he has real talent and real learning, because Mr. Xun Yu wrote a letter and advised me not to give up, he is already handling military rations and is on his way to come, and it will be soon!"

Jia Rudao said: "Mr. Xun Yu is an assertive person, but I came today for another matter."

"What?"

This man said: "Since there is not enough food and grass in the army, I still have a way to get through the current shortage of food."

"Tell me about it."

"Actually, this idea, the lord will also do it."

"Our army is short of food, and Yuan Shao will also be short of food, after all, Yuan Shao's people are dozens of times better than me, and Anhui will not lack food. If the lord sends a cavalryman, cut off his grain and rob him of his grain. ”

"One, can you solve the immediate shortage? The lack of food allows the soldiers to regain their strength. ”

"The two can beat the water dog and give Yuan Jun a blow, after all, there is a shortage of food, and Yuan Shu's army can't resist it!"

If the rumors are spread again, Yuan Shao will die, and the Yuan army will definitely disperse, and the morale and combat effectiveness will decline! Killing chickens is like pigs and dogs.

Yuan Shao was also unbearable.

"You have a point, it's a good idea!"

The food, plus the looted food, is enough for us to hold out until next month!

At this moment, Xu Huang walked into the big tent and said to Cao Cao: "Make a detailed report, Yuan Shao's general Han Meng escorted grain and grass to Yuan Shu's front to help, and hereby report to the lord!"

Cao Mengde was overjoyed and said, "It's just in time, military advisor, what do you think of Han Meng?"

Jia Rudao said: "General Han Meng, don't be afraid!" According to General Xu's talent, it is not difficult to get grain and grass. Let General Xu lead a cavalry of 2,000 to rob and kill halfway, not only can you get food and grass, but also kill, Han Meng, just a husband, if Han Meng dies, the sergeant will be chaotic, the army's heart will be chaotic, and the battle can be decided! ”

Xu Huang said: "Xu Huang is willing to go!"

Cao Mengde nodded and said: "You will lead more than 1,000 people to rob the grain first, I will send someone to respond, if there are Yuan Shao's reinforcements, surround and kill!"

That night, Han Meng led the Yuan army to escort more than 1,000 trucks of grain and grass to the front of the Yuan army's village.

Before arriving at the village, Xu Huang led more than 1,000 men and horses to attack and kill Yuan's army to deliver grain.

Han Meng was furious: "Who are you?"

Xu Huang stabbed out a shot and said, "I am the general Xu Huang, I came to rob the grain on the order of the prime minister and take your dog's life!"

Han Meng galloped to fight, and Xu Huang took over.

Soon, Zhang Liao brought people to kill the soldiers of the Yuan army and escort the grain truck.

Hundreds of truckloads of grain were obtained, and the rest of the grain and grass were not delivered in time, and it happened that reinforcements came, and Xu Huang burned the grain and grass.

In Yuan Shao's army, he saw a fire in the northeast, and the flames were shining.

Just as he was about to send troops, the defeated soldiers fled back and reported: "Grain and grass have been robbed!"

Yuan Shao was furious, killed the soldier who reported the news with a knife, and quickly raised troops to rescue.

Yuan Shao hurriedly sent Bigan and Gao Ran to the rescue to retrieve the grain and grass.

Bigan, Gao Ran led 3,000 men and horses to rush over, and happened to meet Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and others who were in the rear.

The two sides are killing each other, and the noise of the soldiers is endless!

Xu Chu led his troops again, and under the attack, he killed and dispersed the Yuan army, but the Yuan army could not resist and fled one after another.

Xu Chu, together with Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, returned to the Guandu camp.

Due to the return of victory and the solution of the grain and grass crisis, Cao Mengde was overjoyed and rewarded the sergeants and rewarded the three armies.

And let the soldiers move in another direction, in Guandu as a horn trend.

Yuan Shao lost a large number of men and horses, not only did he have no food and grass, but also more than 10,000 soldiers were killed or wounded.

Yuan Shao was furious, and when he was angry, he took the case: "Do you still have the face to return?" Come on, pull Han Meng out and cut it! ”

The generals pleaded, and Han Meng was spared death!

was heavily blamed by Yuan Shao and beaten with a stick.

Yuan Shao said: "Now that the grain and grass have been robbed, what should I do?"

The judge said: "When marching and fighting, food is the first, and the way of food must be guarded against!" The mistake of being robbed of grain must not be made a second time, otherwise the morale of the army will be chaotic! ”

"Where grain is hoarded, heavy troops should be sent to guard it to ensure the safety of grain and grass, without my worries, so that the normal supply of grain and grass can be maintained!"

"I think that Wuchao is a heavy place for our army to hoard food, and the lives of 800,000 soldiers are also here, so we must send heavy troops to defend it."

Yuan Shao said: "I already have a plan in my heart, plan, you can go back to Yecheng to supervise the handling of grain and grass, and you must not violate it!"

Yuan Shao said again: "Where is Chun Yuqiong?"

"The subordinates are here!"

Yuan Shao said: "Order you to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to the place of Wuchao to guard the grain in the starry night, there must be no mistake, if there is any mistake, come to see it, see Cao Jun, and kill without mercy!"

Yuan Shao said: "Wuchao is the lifeblood of my 800,000 army, don't slack off, keep the grain and grass, and don't give Cao Mengde a chance to take advantage of the situation, do you understand?"

"Yes, of course I do."
