Chapter 691: Inadvertent Details

The day after Xu You cut off Chen Xi's grain road, Zhuge Liang went to report to Chen Xi on his work in the recent period, of course, there was no major event during this period of time except for building fortifications everywhere, Chen Xi didn't think about fighting a field war with Xu You, his goal was to drag the other party.

As for why he knew that the other party was Xu You, it could only be said that Chen Xi guessed it based on some intelligence, although he was also a little worried about why Xu You disappeared inexplicably, but this did not affect Chen Xi, even if the opponent did not appear, it didn't matter what happened to him, what he had to do was to build Linyi.

Having said that Chen Xi has given up taking his wife to Linyi now, and the all-out war has begun, Chen Xi is not sure that he will not be damaged at all, so Chen Lan's coming to Linyi was decisively extinguished by Chen Xi, and what he has to think about now is to finish this war before June, and then go back to his hometown to wait for the child to be born.

"Is there anything else going on with Kong Ming?" After listening to the report, Chen Xi continued to review the military affairs, but found that Zhuge Liang had not left, and looked up and asked in confusion.

"Our army has a batch of grain and grass baggage delivered every three days, but the grain and grass escort team that arrived today did not have the next grain and grass escort team to scout the next day." Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment and said.

"Oh, the rations have arrived, but there is no second escort team?" Chen Xi looked up with a solemn face and asked.

"This arrived grain and grass escort team has given a message to the next escort team." Chen Xi remembered the situation that had appeared before, and asked with a soothing expression

"No, I didn't." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, last time Chen Xi withdrew a tooth general, and even wrote a letter to warn the soldiers who were escorting grain and grass in the rear. Who else dares to mess around like this.

"Oh, how many days of food and grass do our army have?" Chen Xi opened his mouth and said.

"Forty-five days of bread and grass. This batch of grain and grass escort troops sent another three days' of grain and grass, making a total of 48 days of grain and grass. Zhuge Liang pulled his mouth and said. Chen Xi's order to the grain and grass transportation team was very unreliable in Zhuge Liang's opinion, and whoever transported the grain only transported grain and grass for three days

"Send detectives to investigate along the official road, a group of three, send a group in half an hour, if there is no reply after ten groups, be ready for someone to come from behind us, and send someone to go to Licheng by the way." Chen Xi raised his head and said.

"Is it that grim?" Zhuge Liang said in disbelief.

"Prevention is the only way to go, and besides, Licheng is the second grain route I have prepared, as for the severe. Anyway, if none of the ten groups of scouts responded, then it was almost certain that there was a problem in our rear. Chen Xi said indifferently, anyway, he doesn't care if something happens in the rear, as long as he is okay, someone will naturally solve the matter later.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was still puzzled, Chen Xi was helpless, "Kong Ming, think about how many days it will take for the grain and grass to be escorted from Feicheng to here. ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned. Then he instantly realized, "So, if none of the ten groups of scouts come back, then the other party is probably only a day's trip away from us at most." ”

"One day? How could there be such a long trip to catch up with the baggage team sent out. And if you can catch up with the two-day trip, I'm afraid that the other party is all cavalry, plus the time wasted by the reconnaissance cavalry. We're only three hours away at most. Chen Xi shrugged his shoulders and said.

"It seems that you have been focusing on Miss Huang recently, and the whole person is a little confused." Chen Xi said helplessly. It is said that the doctors who accompanied the army were women, so Huang Yueying said that she wanted to stay and study. Chen Xi glanced at Zhuge Liang and agreed.

Of course, the responsibility of protecting Huang Yueying was handed over to Zhuge Liang, in the name of enhancing feelings, in fact, Chen Xi just took a fancy to Huang Yueying's manufacturing ability against the sky, and the three-arrow strong crossbow that was fired in a row, the Qu family never figured it out, Huang Yueying dismantled more than a dozen strong crossbows and then made them hard.

Although there are still problems with accuracy and shooting distance, it is undeniable that this is really a genius, maybe her talent in machinery has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, as for the strength of the material, this is not a problem, Chen Xi has equipped her with more than a dozen soldiers with internal qi to warm up the material.

Zhuge Liang pulled his mouth, he was indeed a little absent-minded, but more because he had never been exposed to this kind of planning.

Just like Guo Jia's reconnaissance cavalry according to the number of degrees, Chen Xi's time to transport grain has already been ordered to die, in fact, Chen Xi's camp is not short of food, and at the beginning of the month, forty-five days of food will be directly delivered, and it will be checked once every three months.

As for transporting grain every three days, Chen Xi just wanted to prevent someone from robbing his grain route.

From Feicheng to Chen Xi Dazhai, it only takes three days for a cavalry with one person and one horse to be formed, and it takes five days to escort grain.

In this way, if someone copied Chen Xi from his back road, he would be able to have a preparation, after all, the scouts were fast, and the baggage was slow, basically when the previous wave of baggage teams was about to arrive at Chen Xi's camp, the first scout cavalry of the second wave of baggage resent caught up.

In this way, the first wave of baggage teams has arrived, and the scout cavalry has not arrived, there are only two possibilities, one is that the scout is gone, and the other is that the baggage team is gone, this is an official road, and it is inexplicably gone, so there is no need to think about it, just prepare to fight, this is not a thing.

Having said that, after Zhuge Liang figured out what was going on, he felt that Chen Xi was only transporting grain for three days at a time purely for fun, no wonder he counted the grain and grass that was escorted, and often saw some strange things, and the grain and grass escorted by his feelings were not important at all, and the important ones arrived on time.

"But are we just letting the other side behind us, just guarding the camp?" Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xijian and said, after all, he is still a little too young now, and he really has no experience on the battlefield.

"I don't know the other party's troops, after all, half of Dongping is not ours, as for the rear, Wen He and Wen Ru have waited so long and made so many preparations, I really thought it was a joke, so just stay obediently, anyway, our main task is to nail here." Chen Xi said nonchalantly, how many tricks the other party has to be able to perform.

"I don't doubt that you had a plan, but what I'm worried about is the Yellow River and Jishui, and if they hold those two places, I'm afraid we'll be crucified here." Zhuge Liang pointed to Chiping and Jishui Ferry.

"Chiping, in fact, I have arranged the troops of two tuns, and I have not arranged the Jishui ferry, but there are water thieves in Jishui, which is a hidden grain road that I prepared in advance, so I accompanied Yuan Shao to play and go to find Fa Xiaozhi for me." Chen Xi nodded, and then directly prepared according to the outflanking of someone behind. (To be continued......)
