In autumn, the weather is still hot, and people can't lift their spirits, and on the wide and long official road, a group of soldiers protect the carriages. ***

"Boom!"

The wheels turned, ran over the official road, and slowly moved forward.

The number of soldiers rushing on the official road was quite large, 600 people.

The leader rode on a horse, holding a sharp broadsword in his hand, and rode his horse slowly. This general was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a swallow-jawed beard and a dignified appearance, but his expression was serious, revealing an aura of slaughter. He took the lead and did not look back at the soldiers behind him, but none of the soldiers dared to be lazy.

This person is Cao Ren, a general under Cao Cao, who is responsible for the escort of grain and grass under Cao Cao.

The art of war has not moved, and the grain and grass go first. In order to ensure the safety of grain and grass, Cao Cao specially sent Cao Ren to escort grain and grass to ensure that there would be no shortage of grain and grass. When Cao Ren was young, he had a perverse personality and acted without scruples, but when he grew up, he was respectful and serious, and his every move was quite orderly, which made people feel good.

Such a huge change has to be said to be an amazing thing. Because of this, Cao Ren was very important under Cao Cao, and his status was even stronger than Xiahou Yuan.

Not only that, Cao Ren also has another layer of identity, he is Cao Cao's younger brother.

In ancient times, the ancients regarded men of the same generation who had the same great-grandfather but a different father and were slightly younger than themselves as younger brothers. Between Cao Cao and Cao Ren, Cao Cao's father Cao Song, and Cao Ren's father Cao Chi, their fathers are not the same, and their grandfathers are not the same, but their great-grandfathers are the same, and they belong to cousins in terms of the relationship in later generations.

However, the ancients attached great importance to the family.

Although the relationship between the two is several generations, they belong to the same family, and the relationship is very good.

Cao Cao raised an army to fight against Dong, and Cao Ren had already followed Cao Cao and became the marching Sima under Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou and raises troops to attack Chang'an, Cao Ren is responsible for Cao Cao's logistics and grass. Although this is an idle errand, Cao Ren has a clear eye and does not slack off at all, and it is precisely because of this that Cao Cao can be entrusted with great things.

The sun is in the middle of the sky, and the sun is dazzling.

Cao Ren looked up at the sun hanging on the sky, and estimated it in his heart.

The rest of the journey will definitely not be completed today, and it will not be possible to reach the camp outside Chang'an City, and it will be necessary to rest for one night to arrive. Cao Ren pondered for a moment, raised his right hand, stopped the army that was continuing to hurry, and ordered: "Everyone stop and rest, bury the pot to make rice, and after eating, rest for another half an hour, and then continue on the road." ”

When the soldiers escorting the grain and grass heard this, they immediately relaxed.

Cao Ren did not relax, he let the five hundred soldiers under his command rest, and the remaining one hundred were in charge of guarding.

In this way, we can respond quickly when encountering unexpected situations. Cao Ren turned over and dismounted, walked to the side of the official road, sat and rested under the shade of a tree, and waited for the soldiers in charge of cooking to cook before filling his stomach.

At this time, a junior colonel under Cao Ren ran over, smiled, and then sat down.

The little colonel tilted his head and said: "General, we have escorted enough grain and grass for the army for three months, and with these grains and grass, it is enough to defeat Wang Can, and then support the army to return to Yanzhou." After we arrived at the camp, could we go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, the brothers have been escorting grain and grass, and they are all ready for the mountain battlefield. ”

Cao Ren glared at the junior colonel and said, "Do whatever the lord tells you to do, don't think about it!" ”

The little school didn't get an answer, pouted, and stopped talking.

Cao Ren saw that the little colonel looked a little lost, and said: "Don't worry, in today's troubled times, wars are frequent, and you have the opportunity to go to the battlefield." Hehe, as soldiers escorting grain and grass, you don't have to fight hard, you don't know the blessing, you have such an idle errand, but you want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I don't understand! ”

The colonel clenched his fists and said, "General, I take you as an example and want to be a general!" ”

Xiao Xiao's expression was very serious, which made Cao Ren laugh for a while.

In fact, Cao Ren listened to Xiao Xiaoxiao's words, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.

For such a general in the army, going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions is the most desirable. When a man is alive, he will make contributions and strengthen the community, and when he comes out, he will shroud himself in horse leather to show off his family's reputation, how can he do nothing. However, Cao Ren knew that grain and grass were the lifeblood of the army, so he worked hard to escort grain and grass.

After a while, the smell of fragrant rice was already wafting on the official road.

The soldiers gathered around, eating and talking.

Cao Ren also walked over to eat a big pot of rice with the soldiers, and when the soldiers were eating, in the woods a hundred meters away, the weeds shook slightly but twice, and then there was no movement. On the official road, there was no other sound except for the lively laughter and noise of the soldiers under Cao Ren's command.

……

Yizhou Army, inside the camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, when Wang Can was dealing with the affairs of the army, Xu Rong and Lu Meng came to the camp tent together.

At this time, six days had passed since the battle between Wang Can and Cao Cao. In the past few days, neither side has sent troops, and Wang Can is waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Cao Cao; Cao Cao sent people to step up the production of knife cars, wanting to give Wang Can a big 'surprise', and both sides had their own ideas and plans.

Wang Can looked at the two of them and asked, "Changming, is there any news of Cao Jun's grain and grass?" ”

Xu Rong and Lu Meng have always been in charge of Cao Cao's grain and grass affairs, so when Wang Can saw the two of them coming to visit him, he immediately thought that the two of them must have detected Cao Cao's generals escorting grain and grass.

Xu Rong nodded, hugged his fists and said: "Lord, the generals under Cao Cao led more than 600 people to escort grain and grass to Cao Ying. According to the scout's estimate, the amount of grain and grass escorted this time was very large, enough for the grain of tens of thousands of soldiers in Cao Ying's camp for three months. ”

After Wang Can heard this, he asked again, "Are you sure there are only six hundred?" ”

Lu Meng and Xu Rong nodded at the same time and said, "There are only six hundred." ”

After Wang Can heard this, he suddenly fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Wang Can said: "There are only 300 people in the Wolf Tooth Battalion, although they are equipped with Ma Jun crossbows and Han knives, it is still a little difficult to annihilate all 600 people without leaking any news. In this way, I asked Pei Yuanshao to lead four hundred soldiers with you, and with Pei Yuanshao's help, I can completely annihilate the soldiers under Cao Cao's command. ”

"No!"

The two of them replied with fists clasped together, with excited expressions on their faces.

This time, Cao Cao planted it.

After the two left Wang Can's tent, they went to the tent where Pei Yuanshao lived. After Pei Yuanshao got the news, he excitedly ordered four hundred soldiers, and then left with the three hundred wolf tooth soldiers under Lu Meng's command.

However, after the 700 people left the camp, they did not choose to bypass Cao Cao's camp to sneak attack the soldiers who escorted grain and grass, but went directly south and headed in the direction of Yizhou, so as to avoid Cao Cao's spies from probing, and after avoiding the sight of Cao Cao's spies, Lü Meng, Xu Rong and Pei Yuanshao led the troops to turn around and run to the east.

After such a toss, the army quietly rushed to the rear of Cao's army.

Xu Rong led the troops to a sneak attack, and Wang Can did not stay in the camp.

In order to let Cao Cao have no time to deal with the grain and grass, he simply led the army to Cao Cao's camp and asked Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun to fight, wanting to attract Cao Cao's attention and let Cao Cao fight.

With Wang Can leading the troops as cover, it would be much easier for Lu Meng and Xu Rong.
