Chapter 112: Robbery!
Wheel! Wheel!
At this time, on the northern avenue, more than a mile away from Xiaojingli, a procession like a long dragon slowly moved south. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a team of escorting grain and grass, the ox carts and horse-drawn carts are not visible at a glance, the three carts are parallel, and the team is more than a mile long. There were seven or eight hundred soldiers guarding the convoy, 100 people in front of them opened the road, 100 people in the back broke off, and in the middle of the convoy, they were distributed on the left and right sides of the convoy, seven or eight steps apart, and the entire convoy was firmly protected. As for the transporters, there were more than 2,000 people.
At the head of the convoy was a young man in his twenties, riding a horse, holding a spear, wearing armor, and was quite heroic, and he was the general who guarded the grain team.
In the middle of the procession sat a scribe, about thirty-four years old, wearing a high crown and a fair face, with a rather elegant air, but when his eyes were opened, the light revealed between the occasional turn of his eyes revealed a little scrutiny and thought, and it showed that this man was not a gentle and sincere person.
Next to the carriage is a young man with a face like a crown of jade, dressed as a scribe, riding a white horse, it is Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, born in Chen Liugao, like to make friends with famous people from all over the world, although he is only a weak crown, but he is quite famous in Shilin, and is very loved by Yuan Shao.
There were more than 100 soldiers following Gao Gan, and the uniforms and leather armor of these soldiers were completely different from those of the other six or seven hundred soldiers, and they were Yuan Shao's subordinates, who were sent by Yuan Shao to meet the grain transportation team of Mu Hanfu in Jizhou.
Han Fu was born in the Yingchuan Han family, originally a scholar, and was later released by Dong Zhuo to serve as the pastor of Jizhou, mainly to monitor Yuan Shao, the titular Bohai Taishou under his command, but Han Fu had a weak personality and had no opinions. After the Kwantung princes decided to raise troops, Han Fu hesitated, not knowing whether to help Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao, and was later advised by Liu Zihui, who was engaged in governance, and was threatened by Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, so he joined the Kwantung princes.
After the Kwantung princes raised their troops, because the people of Jizhou were prosperous and the grain and grass were sufficient, the other princes were all on the front line, and only Jizhou Mu Hanfu sat in Yecheng and was responsible for transporting grain and grass for the princes.
However, the status of Han Fu and Yuan Shao is very embarrassing, nominally Bohai County belongs to Jizhou, Han Fu, the Jizhou pastor, is naturally the boss of Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, but Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance of the Kwantung princes, and in turn controls Han Fu.
Han Fu is timid and suspicious, afraid of Yuan Shao's prestige, for fear that Yuan Shao will deal with him after he becomes stronger, which is to transfer grain and grass, and also to deduct from his back, wanting to shake Yuan Shaojun's heart.
Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang had 20,000 soldiers and horses in Hanoi, and this time they asked Han Fu to transport 30,000 stone of grain for the army for a month, but Han Fu deducted and deducted, and only gave less than 10,000 stones.
After Gao Gan was ordered by Yuan Shao to greet the grain and grass, he saw that Han Fu had less than one-third of the grain and grass, so he was naturally dissatisfied with Han Fu, but he also had a secret mission on this trip, but he was too harsh on the generals who transported the grain.
Looking at the middle-aged scribe sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, Gao Gan hugged his fists on the horse and said: "Mr. Guo, it's really hard to get stuck all the way, but it's only fifteen miles away from the county seat, why don't you let Zhang He transport grain and grass to Heyang Daying, and I accompany Mr. to Wen County to visit my uncle, how about it?" My uncle has been looking forward to Mr. for a long time, and must have set up a banquet for him. ”
"This ......" The scribe in the carriage opened his squinted eyes, carefully glanced at the soldiers and civilians escorting grain and grass on all sides, and said in a low voice: "I also look forward to seeing Yuan Che ride for a long time, but now Han Wenjie is quite afraid of Yuan Che riding, this trip may have ears and eyes, especially if it is not helped, it is better to be cautious." When Zhang He's grain and grass arrived, you left him in the army on the grounds of inspecting the grain and grass, and I went to see Yuan Cheqi at night and then seek other things. ”
Gao Gan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but clasp his fists and say in admiration: "Mr. Guo is really thoughtful, and the little nephew is far inferior." ”
The scribe listened to Gao Gan's praise, his face showed a little triumph, and he pointed to the young general in front of the team and said: "This Zhang He is clever with soldiers, good at arranging camp formations, and has the talent of a general, but it is a pity that Han Wenjie can't recognize people, and he reuses Zhao Fu and Cheng Lian's mediocre disciples, and this person is only a military horse, so he is helpless and depressed." ”
Gao Gan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhang He in front of him: "This person is as Mr. said?" Really talented? ”
The scribe stroked his beard and said: "Yuan Che is prestigious, well-known in the world, and he should be able to convince this person." ”
Gao Gan said with a smile: "My uncle has always valued heroic people, Yan Liangwen was born poor, but he can lead an army alone, as long as this person is talented, he will be able to be reused, such as Mr.'s talent, he will be a humerus in the future!"
After that, he glanced at Zhang He in front of him again, and hesitated: "But I don't know if this Zhang He is a foolish and loyal person, if he recruits at this time, will he reveal my uncle's plan?" ”
Guo Tu shook his head and said: "Yuan Cai and rest assured, how can I be wrong, look at his actions and know his person, Zhang He uses his soldiers to change, you can know that he is a person and knows how to change, Han Wenjie and Yuan Che ride are like a jackdaw compared to Luan Feng, Zhang He has always liked to make friends with Confucian scholars, how can he not know the master?" ”
The convoy went all the way south, and when it reached a section, there were large bamboo forests on both sides of the road, which were lush and green, as long as two or three miles, which was very unique in the bare trees everywhere on a New Year's Day.
Gao Gan pointed to this bamboo forest and said with a smile: "Hanoi's bamboo is the most abundant, in the past, at the beginning of Emperor Wu's army, he ordered Kou Sui to be the Taishou of Hanoi, cut down the bamboo of Qi Garden, for more than 100,000 arrows, and raised 2,000 horses, which can be described as magnificent."
At this time, Zhang He, who had opened the road in front, suddenly turned back, hugged his fists to the scribe and said, "Mr. Guo, there are bamboo forests on both sides of the road in front, and you need to guard against thieves and robbers." ”
Before the scribe could answer, Gao Gan laughed and said: "Zhang Sima is too worried, now my Kwantung princes have 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Hanoi, and the soldiers are unstoppable, and the first white cavalry of the thieves in Hanoi also retreated into the white cavalry dock, not to mention that this place is only twenty miles away from the camp, how dare there be thieves to rob here?" Zhang Sima was too cautious. ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, a voice burst out of the bamboo forest laughing: "Haha, robbery!" ”
Gao Gan was stunned, his face turned red all of a sudden, he just said that there were no thieves, and the thieves came out, this is a naked slap in the face! Moreover, there are thieves within twenty miles of the camp, and even the face of his uncle Yuan Shao has been lost, I am afraid that he will have the impression that he is unable to govern the army in the eyes of Mr. Guo and Zhang He.
Therefore, Gao Ganjun's face was pale, and he shouted angrily: "Who dare to rob here? Do you know where this is? ”
At the same time, Zhang He reacted extremely quickly and quickly ordered: "Quickly stop the horse and form a formation to meet the enemy!" ”
Nearly 1,000 ox carts and horse-drawn carts carrying grain and grass hurriedly stopped, and a group of people hid behind the carts in horror, while seven or eight hundred soldiers quickly formed a formation, forming three battle groups in the front, middle and rear, surrounding the grain and grass in the middle.
At the same time, the thieves who robbed the road also showed their true colors, and two or three hundred people poured out of the front and back, blocking both ends of the road, and there were also many people in the bamboo forests on both sides of the middle, stepping on the bamboo leaves rustling, I don't know how many, the most important thing is that these people are all archers, and one by one the feather arrows are aimed at Gao Gan, Zhang He, and the scribes in the carriage.!
