Escorting the grain cart away from Zhongli, Lü Bu had an order to be sent to the soldiers who were guarding the horses, asking them to drive the horses to catch up with the grain team as soon as possible.

Horses go much faster than people.

The convoy set out early in the morning, and at noon that day, ten soldiers drove their horses to catch up.

More than 200 horses arrived, and the people who were transporting grain and grass were surprised.

Some of the live-minded men muttered that if the men who escorted the grain and grass were cavalry, why didn't they ride horses in the city, but only brought the horses after they left the city?

Of course, their doubts could not be answered.

No one is stupid enough to ask questions.

The officer led the horse to Lu Bu: "General, please get on the horse and ......"

"We haven't left Huainan yet." Lu Bu interrupted him: "The team is still led by you, let's talk about it when we enter Xuzhou." ”

The soldiers mounted their horses one after another, divided into two teams on the left and right, escorting the grain carts and continuing to advance.

At the same time, Zhongli City.

The barracks, where drill slogans were usually heard every morning, was unusually quiet.

Most people who walk outside the barracks will subconsciously look in.

The soldiers guarding the gate were also absent, and the whole camp was eerie.

It wasn't until sunset that someone reported the anomaly in the barracks to the prefectural order.

The county commander hurried to the barracks with a group of people.

He didn't dare to break in immediately, but ordered the county lieutenant: "You take two people in to have a look." ”

Huang Tai led the army to be stationed here, not subject to local control.

In terms of official rank, the county order is several levels lower than him.

The county order was opened, and the county lieutenant did not dare not go, so he beckoned two local county soldiers to go to the barracks.

Ever since Cao Cao's last crusade against Yuan Shu, Huang Tai had been stationed in Zhongli.

Local officials knew about his short temper.

rashly broke into the barracks, in case he was caught, I don't know how much trouble he would cause......

The county commander didn't dare to enter the barracks easily but asked him to take someone to check it, and the county lieutenant was full of unhappiness and didn't dare to say it.

After entering the barracks and walking around, they didn't even see a ghost.

The barracks were empty, as if all the people had disappeared out of thin air.

The two county soldiers were about to go to the barracks to check when they were stopped by the county lieutenant: "Break into the barracks, you don't want to die?" ”

"But the county order wants us to ......," looked back at him, and a county soldier said puzzled.

"He just asked us to go into the barracks and didn't let us into the barracks." The county lieutenant said, "Don't be troublesome, go out with me to resume your life!" ”

The two county soldiers were confused and didn't understand what he meant.

But he gave the order, and he didn't dare not follow.

Walking out of the barracks, the county lieutenant replied to the county order: "There is no one in the barracks, it seems that all of them are gone." ”

"I've only heard of a team carrying grain out of the city in the morning, but I haven't heard of the army marching out." Hearing that there was no one in the barracks, the county commander breathed a sigh of relief and became bolder: "Come in with me and have a look." ”

Entering the barracks with a group of people, the county magistrate found that it was indeed an empty camp.

"If General Huang leads his troops to the battle, he will at least say hello to us." The county commander muttered suspiciously: "Is this just the way to go?" ”

"The military rations have been shipped out, so it shouldn't be fake." The county lieutenant came up and said, "Why don't we go back, we won't be able to ask about the affairs of the army." ”

"You're in charge of local military affairs, and you haven't received any information beforehand?" The county commander was still puzzled.

"I'm just a little county lieutenant, how can General Huang tell me what to do." The county lieutenant replied.

glanced at the county lieutenant, and always felt that he couldn't let go of his heart, the county order ordered everyone: "Look around and see if you can find anything." ”

The crowd scattered and walked away.

A few bold men walked straight to the barracks, where the doors were closed.

The county commander and the county lieutenant stood in the open space waiting to return.

Suddenly, a strange cry of "Mom" came from a barracks.

The two men stumbled out of the barracks.

"What's going on?" Suddenly there was an ominous premonition, and the county commander hurriedly asked the two people.

"They're all dead! They're all dead! Crawling in front of the county order, the two of them sat on the ground and shouted in fright.

"Let's take a look!" The county commander greeted and rushed into the barracks with the county lieutenant and a few people who had run back.

Twenty or thirty corpses with their necks wiped lay side by side in the barracks.

Except for a shocking wound on their necks, they actually seemed to be asleep, and everyone's expressions were serene.

"Look at the other barracks." Knowing that something was wrong, the county order roared.

It didn't take long for the people who were checking in the barracks to return to the prefectural order.

The county lieutenant, who personally inspected the barracks of the chief general, also returned.

"General Huang......" had a sallow face, and the county lieutenant's voice was trembling: "...... dead"

"Quick...... Tell your majesty quickly......" The county commander sat down on the ground.

The barracks were uprooted, and the general was killed, and he didn't even know it.

Yuan Shu must have been furious when he got the news, and as a county commander, he couldn't escape the blame......

At sunset, the sky was covered with red clouds.

The trapping camp of the escort grain team stepped into the border of Xuzhou in Caixia.

The officer leading the team turned around and came to Lu Bu: "General, you have already entered Xuzhou." ”

"Order, everyone take off their armor and change into civilian clothes." Lu Bu ordered: "From now on, I will personally lead the team. ”

"The general has an order, everyone takes off their armor and changes into civilian clothes!" The officers rode their horses and galloped beside the ranks, shouting orders at the top of their voices.

The procession stopped, and the soldiers took off their armor and threw them on the ground, changing into the civilian clothes they wore when they infiltrated Huainan.

The people driving the ox carts looked at them blankly.

Some people have already perceived something.

Divided into two sides and sandwiched between the grain carts, the soldiers were holding weapons and riding horses, and even if they felt that something was wrong, the people had no chance to escape.

Coming to the front of the team from the end of the team, Lu Bu glanced back at the people who were driving the car: "There are a lot of grains to deliver the grain, I will make sure you are okay." ”

Completely understanding what was happening, two or three hundred people looked to the side in fear.

The trap soldiers on horseback glared at them fiercely.

Many cowered their necks in fright.

Lu Bu shook the reins and gently clamped his legs to the horse's belly: "Go!" ”

The team continued on its way.

"Send someone back to Xiapi first, and tell everyone the news that we have brought back the food." Walking forward, Lu Bu instructed the officer.

The officer turned back to a soldier and asked, "Did you hear what the general said?" ”

"I hear you." The soldier replied.

"Why don't you go soon?" The officer glanced to the side.

The soldiers left the group and urged the horses to gallop in the direction of Xiapi.

Shouchun's Yuan Shu got the news from Zhongli that Lu Bu had already driven into Xuzhou with his team.

Zhongli's grain stock was cheated away, nearly a thousand soldiers were killed, and even Huang Tai died......

Enraged, Yuan Shu swept down the utensils on the table, his face was blue and his cheeks twitched, and he shouted to the ministers present: "Who is going to Zhongli to find out the truth?" Divide the officials who neglect their duties and don't argue with the enemy! ”
