Chapter 20: You Dare to Disobey Military Orders
The neckline was grabbed, and the little official woke up at that time.
Seeing that it was an officer who was holding him, and finding a group of stubborn soldiers standing outside the treasury, he almost fell to the ground in fright.
"I ...... I mean, I'm dog-eyed......" The little official replied tremblingly, "How dare you say that the general ......?"
"Don't fucking talk nonsense with me!" Shoving the little officer back a few steps, the officer asked, "What about Cangcao?" β
"Back to ...... I'm going home......" the little official replied tremblingly.
"Send someone to find him, there is something important." The officer glared viciously: "Hurry up!" β
"I'm going to find someone!" There was no room for thought at all, so the little official hurriedly agreed, and ran into the treasury compound with a smoke.
The officer beckoned and led the team into the treasury.
It didn't take long for the little official on duty to run out of the treasury and look for Cangcao.
The soldiers entered the treasury, and a dozen guards who heard the movement ran out.
Finding that there were so many stubborn soldiers, the guards stopped and stood in the distance without daring to step forward.
"You guys, come here!" The officer beckoned to them.
A few guards came up.
"How many guards are there?" The officer asked.
"That's all we have." It looks like the guard taking the lead replied.
"You're the lead?" The officer looked at him and asked, "What rank?" β
"There is no rank." The guard replied, "It's just a chief." β
"What's long." The officer nodded, his expression showing contempt: "Let your people keep an eye on this place." There will be a big war soon, and you should know better than me how important the treasury is. β
"I'll urge them." Shi Chang hurriedly agreed.
"Go ahead." The officer waved his hand.
After sending Shi Chang away, he looked around, and saw that the officials and guards of the treasury did not dare to approach, so he slowly leaned over to Lu Bu and whispered, "General, what should I do next?" β
"Let Cangcao mobilize the people, and we will escort the grain to Xuzhou." Lu Bu stood straight like a soldier, his lips moving slightly.
"Go directly to Xuzhou? And with their people? The officer was very surprised: "Didn't you tell Yuan Shu that the general did these things?" β
"The more we go directly to Xuzhou, the less Yuan Shu will suspect us." Lu Bu said: "The world is so chaotic, who seizes the opportunity and doesn't want to blame others? Yuan Shu fought with me, and Cao Cao benefited the most. We have left Cao Jun's weapons behind, and then escorted the grain to Xuzhou, and fools will think that Cao Cao may be to blame me. β
The officer was stunned.
Lu Bu said again: "Bringing their people to earn not only food but also population, why don't I do such a cost-effective business?" β
He also served as a soldier under Lu Bu for several years.
The officer's impression of Lu Bu would never do such a thing.
Although Lu Bu was powerful in the past, he also had some skills in power and strategy, but his tactical ability was a mess.
Otherwise, with his martial bravery, he would not have been defeated repeatedly.
The person in front of him is not only young, but also very meticulous in tactical thinking.
With Lu Bu now, the officer has a little more expectations for the future.
He didn't have to wait long in the treasury, and Cangcao hurried over.
Coming to the officer, Cangcao asked politely: "Dare to ask the honorable driver, is there anything important to bring the troops to the treasury late at night?" β
The officer took out a piece of silk with words written on it from his arms, and lit up in front of Cangcao's eyes: "Your Majesty has a will, the Zhongli garrison will leave for Xuzhou tomorrow." General Huang asked me to come here to allocate grain and grass, and to transport grain and set off first. β
Yuan Shu lent troops to Sun Ce in exchange for the heirloom jade seal that the Sun family obtained in Luoyang.
With the jade seal, he couldn't stand the instigation of the group of staff around him who were good at meeting and shooting horses, and Yuan Shu, who was not the strongest, actually usurped the title of emperor.
Both LΓΌ Bu and Cao Cao once attacked Huainan on the grounds of crusading against national thieves who did not respect the Han family.
But in Huainan, the upper and lower bureaucrats and the soldiers in the army still called Yuan Shu "Your Majesty".
"Can you show me the warrant?" Not reading the words written on the silk silk, Cangcao asked the officer.
"The military situation is urgent, General Huang asked me to come over with His Majesty's will, saying that it would be done to show you." The officer glared at him: "Do you dare to disobey military orders?" β
"Without a warrant, I really don't dare to give food, please understand." Cang Cao replied: "As long as you show General Huang's warrant, I will give out the grain immediately." β
"Gave you face, didn't you?" Cangcao refused to give out the food, and the officer glared at him viciously: "In the middle of the night, General Huang has already slept, you dare to let me disturb him?" β
The officer was angry, and Cang Cheng and the little officials standing behind Cang Cao lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to look at him.
Cang Cao replied without humility or arrogance: "Where the duty is, please understand!" β
"I forgive your mother!" Cangcao refused to eat it, and the officer pulled out his sword and stabbed him in the heart.
He suddenly drew his sword to kill, and more than a dozen guards subconsciously stepped forward.
Immediately, dozens of soldiers met and stopped the guards.
Cang Cheng and the little officials trembled one by one, for fear that they would be the next to be killed.
"Who is Cangcheng?" The officer asked.
Trembling forward, Cang Cheng replied: "I...... I am! β
"Cangcao has been killed by me for disobeying military orders, are you willing to give food?" The officer asked with a cold face.
"Yes! Willing! Cang Cheng couldn't stop answering.
"You're still sensible!" The officer patted him on the shoulder: "Gather the people to load all the grain and grass into the truck." β
"Take them all?" Cang Cheng was stunned.
"Take them all, of course." The officer's brows furrowed, and his face became not very good-looking: "When the army goes on the march, do you let the soldiers fight hungry?" β
Cang Cheng was frightened, and didn't dare to ask even half a sentence more: "I'll do it." β
The treasury often summoned the men to carry the supplies, and even though it was at night, two or three hundred men with ox carts soon came.
Cang Cheng flattered the officer and asked, "Dare to ask the honorable driver, where is the grain going to be transported?" β
"The border between Huainan and Xuzhou." The officer said, "We will wait there for the army." β
"Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, and His Majesty almost sent troops to save him." Cang Cheng asked, "Why are you going to beat him again?" β
"This time and that time." The officer said: "Xuzhou's vitality is greatly injured, if you don't take it now, where will you find such a good opportunity in the future?" β
The officer's explanation was reasonable, and the doubts in Cangcheng's heart were completely dispelled.
He shouted to the men who were carrying grain and grass: "Slip through the horses, fill the carts to the brim." If you don't have enough to eat, you're all guilty of death! β
Zhongli is not a big city, and the government only has 200 ox carts in stockpile.
A few small officials swept the empty barn, and the officer looked around to make sure that there was no grain left before shouting: "Let's go!" β
Under the guise of a large army going on an expedition, he deceived the grain, and disguised himself as the 200 trap camp of the Huainan Army to escort the grain and grass back to Xuzhou.
