Sun Jian and Cao Cao had worked in the same trench, and they knew some about Cao Cao, and knew that Cao Cao was suspicious, so he asked Zhuge Jin to propose to discuss things in the center of the camp of the two armies. To Sun Jian's surprise, Cao Cao actually came to the camp of the Wu army in person, which shows that Cao Cao was determined to risk his life.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Sun Jian and Cao Cao sat on the left and right.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian have the same status, and Sun Jian can't arbitrarily place Cao Cao in the position below.

Below, are Sun Jian's courtiers.

Cao Cao looked sincere, and said straight to the point: "Wentai, I won't hide the dumb riddles that I am tucking." Wang Can sent Zhang Liao to attack Wuyin County, intending to cut off my back road. The situation is urgent, and it has reached a critical moment, so I hope to cooperate with you to attack Wang Can with all my strength and take Xiangyang. ”

Sun Jian also said with sincerity: "Meng De, you are like this, why am I not?" Wang Can sent troops to attack Jiangxia, also thinking of cutting off the retreat of our army. I'm in danger just like you! "Sun Jian didn't hide the matter of Jiang Xia, and it was difficult to hide this matter from Cao Cao if he wanted to, so he simply said it directly.

Only by being open and honest can we achieve a solid alliance.

"Good! Readily! ”

Cao Cao stroked his palm and said, "In this case, let's discuss how to attack Wang Can." ”

"That's exactly what I mean."

Sun Jian nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao said: "If we divide our troops to attack Wang Can, there will definitely be entanglements, so I suggest that the two armies be combined and one place." The armies of both sides attacked the Shu army together, what do you think? ”

Sun Jian thought about it and felt that the proposal was not bad.

He also understood that if the troops were divided to attack, the people on both sides would worry that the other would deliberately preserve their strength, so it would be better for the two armies to work together. Although there may be disputes between the soldiers of the two armies, on the whole, they can be seen to be open and honest. Sun Jian nodded and said, "According to Meng De's proposal, we will join forces today and attack the Shu camp tomorrow." ”

After the two finished speaking, they high-fived and swore an oath.

As soon as the covenant was reached, footsteps came from outside the tent, and the sentry sentry rushed in.

Sun Jian asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The sentry scout glanced at Cao Cao and stopped talking.

Sun Jian snorted and shouted; "I am already allies with Prestige, there is nothing to hide, just say it." Sun Jian knew that the news of the investigation was about Wang Can, and he did not hesitate to let the sentry agent tell it all.

The sentry said excitedly: "King, we have found that the team of the Shu army escorting grain and grass is coming to Xiangyang. ”

"Grain?"

Cao Cao muttered a few words and shook his head slightly.

He didn't believe that there would be grain and grass at this time, because it was too weird. Cao Cao opened his mouth and said: "Wentai, Wang Can knew that the Wei and Wu armies were far away from the hinterland and were in urgent need of grain and grass, so he deliberately let the sentinels detect the news of grain and grass, in order to attract us to pursue. I think this is a plan set up by Wang Can, don't pay attention to it, and directly attack the Shu army tomorrow. ”

Sun Jian looked at the sentry and asked, "How much grain is there?" ”

The sentinel replied: "According to the situation of the investigation, there is no less than 100,000 stone of grain!" ”

"100,000 stones?"

Cao Cao exclaimed in surprise after hearing this, revealing a look of surprise.

According to the Hanshu? According to the records of the Chronicles of the Law, thirty catties are one jun, and four jun are one stone, and the jin here refers to the two catties of the Han Dynasty. Converted, one stone of grain is one hundred and twenty Han catties. There is a certain difference between the Han Jin and the Jin of later generations, and the "Brief Table of Weights and Measures of the Past Dynasties" records that 1 Jin of the Han Dynasty is equivalent to 248 grams of the later generations, and one hundred and twenty Han Jin can be converted into 60 catties.

100,000 stone of grain, that is, 6 million catties.

After Wang Can and Liu Bei fought, they had already lost part of their troops, but there were at least 80,000 soldiers left.

The soldiers in the army had very poor oil and water and ate quite a lot. Even if the food in the army is compressed, a person will have to at least one pound of rice a day, and 100,000 stone of grain will be calculated for two and a half months.

For the Wei and Wu coalition forces, if they can grab 100,000 stone of grain, it will definitely be of great use.

Cao Cao was surprised at first, and then quickly calmed down.

He looked at Sun Jian and said with a firm expression: "Wentai, it is true that there is more grain sent to Xiangyang, but it is too much food that is more suspicious. Wang Can's army was backed by Xiangyang, and Xiangyang provided food, so he didn't worry about the food problem. And when Wang Can's grain arrived was not good, it just appeared at this time, suspicious, very suspicious. ”

Sun Jian nodded and said, "Brother Meng De is reasonable, it is indeed suspicious!" ”

Having said that, there was an expression on his face that was not quite clear.

Sun Jian's eyes were erratic, and he was thinking in his heart. He is not a fool, he has his own ideas, Wang Can occupies Xiangyang for a short time, but the route of sending grain to Chengdu is very long and takes a long time, so it is reasonable for food to appear.

Zhou Yu stood up, clenched his fists and said, "My lord, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the sentry found 100,000 stone grain, which is indeed very strange. Yu thinks that the grain and grass may be true, but Wang Can wants to attract us to attack by taking advantage of the matter of the grain and grass. Or the matter of 100,000 stones of grain and grass is fake, and Wang Can made it up in order to attract us. In that case, why not just count it? ”

Sun Jian immediately asked; "Gong Jin, what do you think?"

Cao Cao stared at Zhou Yu intently, and said with a smile: "Jiangdong Junjie Zhou Gongjin is really clever. ”

Zhou Yu said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "King Wei has won the award." ”

After a pause, Zhou Yu said: "No matter whether the grain is true or false, Wang Can wants to lure our army to attack. In this case, we will take advantage of the situation and turn disadvantages into advantages,......, and in the end, it must be Wang Can's plan. ”

Lu Su also stood up and said unhurriedly: "After the two armies combined, their strength is strong, and they have surpassed Wang Can's strength. I think that Gong Jin's strategy can be slightly modified,......, so multi-pronged approach can have the greatest effect. "Lu Su is tall and burly, with an ordinary appearance, without Zhou Yu's sharp temperament, and has a unique temperament of great wisdom and foolishness.

Cao Cao glanced at Zhou Yu and Lu Su, and then looked at Zhuge Jin and the others below, and sighed in his heart.

The small Jiangdong has gathered so many talents, which should not be underestimated.

Sun Jian laughed, glanced at Zhou Yu and Lu Su appreciatively, and then looked at Cao Cao, and found that Cao Cao had an envious expression on his face, and he was even more happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Suddenly, what do you think?" ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "This plan is very good, so it will be implemented according to this method." ”

On the same day, Cao Cao ordered Cao's army to move the camp and move next to the Wu army's camp, living next to each other. The two armies were close together, making it easier for Cao Cao and Sun Jian to discuss things.

……

Shu army camp, in the big tent.

Wang Can, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu sat in the tent, discussing strategies against Cao Cao.

Footsteps sounded, and Lu Meng and Shi A walked into the big tent together.

Shi Ah had an excited look on his face, and his face was full of energy. After he walked in, he bowed to Wang Can and said, "Lord, there is movement between the Cao army and the Wu army, they have sent a united soldier to quietly leave the camp. It seems that they are preparing to attack the grain route and rob the grain that is being transported. ”

As he spoke, Shi Ah couldn't suppress the joy on his face.

Lu Meng clenched his fists and said, "Teacher, Wu Jun and Wei Jun have already taken the bait, can they send troops?" ”

Wang Can didn't answer, but asked: "The two armies are united, who will lead the army?" ”

Shi A thought for a while and said, "Cao Cao sent Li Dian, and Sun Jian sent Han Dang. Both men left at night with their troops. Our men followed overnight and found out the details this morning. ”

Xu Shu said: "Lord, it's not enough, it's far from enough!" ”

Wang Can also nodded and said: "It's indeed a little worse, since that's the case, let's add another fire." ”

Lu Meng and Shi Ah were a little confused when they heard the three of them talk. Shi Ah knew something, but as the plan went on, a lot changed. Up to now, Shi A can't figure out what's going on, and he doesn't know how Wang Can, Xu Shu and Guo Jia planned.

PS: One of the three watches, I have been checking the issue of catties and catties for a long time, and if you have any objections, you can talk about it in the book review area.
