Chapter 327: The Black Nest Ignites (1)

"The grain and grass in our army is enough to support thirty days!" Cao Cao was groaning, but Xun Yu replied in place of his lord.

Thirty days of bread and grass is certainly a vain. If Cao Cao had thirty days of grain and grass, it would be enough to support it until after the summer harvest; Then with the taxes after the summer harvest, Cao Cao will no longer be short of food, at least for most of the year, Cao Cao will no longer be short of food.

Of course, the premise is that Cao Cao's army really has thirty days of food!

"Mr. Wenruo tricked me!" Xu You laughed.

Once, he Xu Yu was an important adviser under Yuan Shao, so he naturally came into contact with many secrets.

For example, at present, there are many people in Cao Cao's camp, or in the imperial court, who are secretly communicating with Yuan Shao.

Therefore, the news of the lack of food in Cao Cao's army has long been sold.

However, no one is sure how big Cao Cao's food shortage gap is. A month ago, it was concluded that Cao Cao's military rations could not be supported until May, but now it has been several days in May, and Cao Cao's army has not yet run out of cooking.

That's where Xu Yu is puzzled.

Looking at Xun Yu and Cao Cao's expressions, Xu You smiled and said, "Brother Meng De, I'm afraid that you don't even have five days' food in the army, right?" ”

Cao Cao and Xun Yu glanced at each other, but they did not refute or agree.

In fact, the grain and grass in Cao Cao's army were in an emergency as early as April, and it all relied on Xun Yu to demolish the east wall to make up the west wall, and move left and right, which barely supported it to this day. Now, if the grain and grass in the Guandu camp are two meals of gruel in the morning and evening, they can still last for three or five days.

There is almost no food for the next day in the army, which is why Cao Cao is also anxious to fight a decisive battle!

……

Seeing the silence of Cao Cao and Xun Yu, Xu You decided that they had acquiesced, but the food and grass in the army were not enough to support them for five days. Then, Xu You smiled and said: "Brother Meng De, if you come to defect today, you can't be polite, so you will give Brother Meng De millions of stones of grain and grass, how about it?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised.

He is short of food right now, but Xu You uses millions of stones of grain and grass as a meeting gift, which is a big deal!

However, Cao Cao was soon disappointed.

He looked at Xu You's embarrassed appearance, if Xu You had millions of stones, grain and grass, it would be impossible for him to be embarrassed!

Compared with the surprise and disappointment of the lord Cao Cao, Xun Yu's eyes were bright.

"What Mr. Ziyuan said, but the million stones of grain and grass that Yuan Shao hoarded in Wuchao?" Xun Yu asked.

The two armies have been facing each other for more than half a year, and everyone knows the deployment of troops on both sides and the place where grain and grass are hoarded.

But what about knowing where the other party's grain and grass are hoarding?

Whose family's grain and grass is not guarded by cronies and generals and foreign soldiers?

If you want to sneak attack the opponent's grain and grass land, it is simply impossible!

You must know that more than half a month ago, the girl of the Lu family attacked the camp of the official and deliberately burned the military rations of the Cao army, which was just the amount of two or three days of burning the strongholds everywhere, and really let the girl of the Lu family go to the place where hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass were hoarded to try, but I am afraid that before I get close, I will be shot into a sieve by the rain of arrows, right?

Hearing Xun Yu's rhetorical question, Cao Cao's eyes also lit up, and he stared at Xu Yu tightly.

"That's right, it's Yuan Benchu's grain and grass camp in Wuchao!" Xu Youlang laughed.

……

Yuan Shao's grain and grass camp set up in Wuchao was garrisoned by the general Chun Yuqiong, with a garrison of 50,000 troops, all of whom were elite.

Previously, Cao Cao had not had the idea of fighting Wuchao, but in the face of the 50,000 troops stationed in Wuchao, and in the face of Chun Yuqiong, the fierce general of Ninggang Realm, Cao's army attacked Wuchao many times in vain, and lost his troops.

Now, the Yuan army stationed in the black nest has long been a thief, and it is even more impossible to succeed in a sneak attack.

However, when all this is faced with Xu Yu, the impossible becomes possible!

Who is Xu You?

He is one of the five most relied on strategists under Yuan Shao, the general of Yuan Shao's army, even Yan Liangwen and others in Hebei Sitingzhu, have to give some face when they see Xu You, let alone Chun Yuqiong who is stationed in Wuchao.

What, did you say that Xu Yu has defected to the enemy now?

Who told this way?

It must be known that Xu You's night run to Cao Ying is only a day's work, and Yuan Shao and the others now know that it is a problem whether he Xu You has defected to the enemy, let alone the black nest of Liyang City. At least, Chun Yuqiong doesn't know that Xu Yu has already voted for Cao!

This is a good opportunity for Cao Jun to sneak attack the Black Nest!

In Xun Yu's partial tent, Xu You, Cao Cao, and Xun Yu, the three of them discussed this and this for a long time, and soon discussed a plan to attack the black nest at night. The plan was decided, Xu You began to be sleepy, he didn't close his eyes for a day and a night, and coupled with exhaustion, Xu You soon fell asleep in Xun Yu's partial tent.

Outside the tent, Cao Cao looked back at the door of the tent, and then said unsurely: "Wen Ruo, is this credible?" Xu You rushed to vote, even if he said it wildly, Cao Cao was still skeptical of Xu You.

Xun Yu accompanied this Cao Cao and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

Since it was decided to attack the Black Nest at night, the two of them still need to discuss further.

Hearing the lord's question, Xun Yu replied: "For Xu Yu to vote, the minister also remains skeptical. However, as far as the current situation is far from our army, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 possibility, we need to go all out to give it a try. ”

"Besides, whether Xu Yu is really here to vote, or a bitter trick, we can verify it when we attack the black nest tonight!"

"At that time, we just need to be cautious and cautious, and if the momentum is not right, we can withdraw immediately."

……

The night breeze is slow, the new moon rises, and the black nest is close to the left, but the bonfire is bright.

Wuchao, as the grain and grass of Yuan Shaojun's army, is necessary to have a large army, but fireworks are also strictly prohibited.

But at night, campfires are needed to prevent enemy attacks.

So, Chun Yuqiong set up a circle of bonfires or torches three hundred steps outside the grain and grass camp.

There was not the slightest fire in the grain and grass camp, but the fire outside the grain and grass camp was bright.

About five miles away from Wuchao, there is a checkpoint here. This is an outpost to guard the Wuchao grain and grass camp, such an outpost, with the Wuchao grain and grass camp as the center, there are many within a radius of ten miles.

Under the shadow of the moon, a team appeared at the foot of the mountain not far away, approaching the checkpoint.

"Stop, whoever!"

The guard at the sentry post had a group of soldiers, and the team was quite conscientious, and when they saw someone approaching the Wuchao grain and grass camp in the middle of the night, the team was hurrying to stop, and the fifty soldiers under his command all opened their bows and crossbows and aimed them at the comer.

"Presumptuous, don't you even know Ben joining the army?!" Under the torch, Xu You walked in front of the team and scolded.

This kind of trick, when he escaped from Liyang City last night, Xu You had already used it once, and he felt quite useful. This time, he led the Cao army to attack the Wuchao at night, and he also needed to rely on Xu You's identity to deceive the Yuan army guards guarding the Wuchao.

The team was looking at Xu You, feeling familiar, but he didn't know him.

After all, the team is not even a low-level officer, and it is stationed in the Wuchao land, so there was no chance to see Xu Yu at all.

However, the team sent two small soldiers in an instant to inform the battalion guards.
