Chapter 111 Singing and measuring the sand
"Yes, it's sand, you heard it right."
"Then why did Big Brother want me to escort the sand?"
"That's the case, we are confronting Shi Le, not attacking each other, we want to facilitate him to escape and abandon the city, so that we can pursue, and Shi Le is of course happy to see us run out of food and retreat, so that the Zhao army will cover up, we have to hold on at this critical time, we can't mess up, the most important thing is grain and grass, our grain and grass are only enough to last for three days, so I want you to go back to the city to bring grain."
"But the eldest brother just asked me to escort the sand?"
"I haven't finished speaking, it's just an illusion that you went to Qiaocheng, we have already collected grain when we came to Qiaocheng, how can the people have surplus food, after you go, you only need a cart of grain and grass with Qiaocheng Taishou, and the rest of the dozens of cars are only loaded with sand."
"The rest of the sand?"
"Yes, you will escort the convoy to Pengpi, and when you get to Chen Liu, you will encounter Zhao Jun robbing grain!"
"If Zhao Jun comes to rob the grain, but most of us are sand, do we want to keep the sand or the grain, or all of them?"
"We only have one cart of grain, and we have to throw it all to the enemy, and the rest of the sand cannot be left behind in a cart!"
"But I still don't understand, what kind of trick is my eldest brother using?"
"My purpose is to create the illusion that we have a lot of food to confuse Shile, so as to achieve their goal of withdrawing troops, and he is coming to rob the grain is what we want to see the most, and we are afraid that Shile will not come."
"I have understood my eldest brother's strategy, and I will definitely complete the task."
"Okay, you have to leave early tomorrow morning, and you have to leave the camp in a high-profile manner, so that Shile can see clearly."
"Everything is under the orders of the eldest brother."
"In order to show that we value, you will bring another three hundred sergeants, and all of you Canghai Gang will change into military uniforms."
"Yes."
The next day, Mo Dingfei and the people of the Canghai Gang changed into military uniforms and led three hundred sergeants and convoys out of the camp, the Zhao army in the city saw this, and immediately reported to Shi Le, Shi Le found Zhang Bin, Zhang Bin said: "They must have no food, this is to escort grain and grass, according to the itinerary, it will come in three days, it just so happens that we have no food, it is better to send someone to rob it to fill the army." ”
"I have this intention, I must not let Zu Ti get food, now whoever can hold on will win, it seems that I will send capable men to rob the grain."
"Yes, we need to strike accurately and get food, and it is best to send one of the eight horsemen generals, I think it is safer to be a peach leopard."
"Okay, just send the peach leopard to fight according to the military advisor's words, where do you think it is appropriate for us to ambush the Jin army?"
"Chen Liu, who is in the lower reaches of Bianshui, is the most suitable, when we send troops out of the north gate, bypassing the Jin camp, and stealing grain and grass without knowing it, when the time comes, Zu Ti will not have a grain of grain, he will definitely quietly withdraw his troops back to the city at night."
"Well, the military advisor has everything to do, so let's do it."
Shi Le immediately arranged for the peach leopard to prepare for the food robbery in three days.
Mo Dingfei and others came to Qiaocheng, saw Li Ju, heard that they were going to transport grain, Li Ju was quite embarrassed, he quietly said to Mo Dingfei: "Now there is no grain in Qiaocheng, if it is levied again, I am afraid that the people will not be able to bear it, and some people will starve to death!" ”
Mo Dingfei whispered to him, "Let's go into the mansion and talk." ”
When he arrived in the mansion, Mo Dingfei said Zu Ti's true intentions, Li Ju immediately scraped together a cart of rice, and secretly ordered the sergeant to fill dozens of carts of sand and stack the bags neatly, and Mo Dingfei and the others would return immediately after eating.
Mo Dingfei and his entourage came to the territory of Chenliu, so he slowed down, he had to wait for Zhao Jun to come to rob the grain, but he could wait, Zhao Jun just didn't appear, Mo Dingfei knew that Zhao Jun was afraid that the Jin army would be strict and didn't dare to shoot easily, so he deliberately put on a scattered look, and ordered people to rest by the Bianshui River.
Sure enough, the peach leopard who had been in the dark led the army to kill, Mo Dingfei immediately commanded the sergeant to resist, although the peach leopard was brave, but it could not take advantage of the resistance of the Canghai Gang, Mo Dingfei wanted to draw Zhao Jun's attention to the last car, deliberately stabbed a bag of rice in the fight, revealing the rice with white flowers, sure enough, the people of the peach leopard attacked the last car, Mo Dingfei fought and retreated, swearing to defend the sand car in front, although the gang and the Jin army sacrificed a lot, but the peach leopard also suffered a lot of casualties, grabbed the last grain truck and returned to Pengpi City, Shi Le caught it, comforted him, and Tao Leopard pleaded guilty: "Big brother, my subordinates are incompetent and have not completed the task, please treat my sins!" ”
"No, you are not guilty, grain and grass are the lifeblood of an army, the Jin army will definitely send capable people to escort you, you can come back with your brothers, and it is not easy to grab a cart of rice, how can the eldest brother blame you?"
After listening to Shi Le's words, Zhang Bin said: "The king is right, if even the general can't grab the grain, it means that the Jin army attaches great importance to it, but the Jin army has lost a cart of grain, and it is not a big problem, we have to deal with it in time, otherwise, the Jin army's well-fed army will have no chance of winning against our hungry army." ”
"The Jin army can transport grain, we can also transport grain, Xuchang has grain, I will immediately send someone to carry grain to the front of the army."
"Big brother......" Tao Leopard said.
Looking at Peach Leopard's hesitant appearance, Shi Le knew that he was going to go to charge the grain, but because of the failure just now, he didn't dare to ask for any more battle, Shi Le said: "Peach Leopard, you are one of my most trusted eight horsemen, and now you are the only one in front of me, this time the task of charging the grain belongs to you, can you work hard again?" ”
"I am willing, I am willing, eldest brother, don't worry, even if I die, I will also take the grain and grass to the army!"
"Okay, you immediately set off to lead the convoy to the grain!"
"Yes!"
Peach Leopard set off with three hundred sergeants, Shi Le looked at a cart of white rice, and muttered: "I have to rely on this cart of white rice these days, and each sergeant can only get two or two meters each, alas, Peach Leopard, don't let me down again." ”
Zu Ti took the sand cart into the camp, deliberately let people weigh in the camp, and shouted out the weight, and shouted one after another, and the people of Shile couldn't help but be frightened when they heard it in the city, no wonder, seeing so many grain trucks into the camp, can they not be afraid.
The matter of the peach leopard returning to Xuchang to collect grain was discovered by Zu Ti, and he immediately began to prepare to rob Shile's grain!
However, the task of robbing grain is heavier, and it is not easy to transport the grain completely, because the sergeant has to fight hard with Zhao Jun on the one hand, and at the same time he has to drive the grain cart back, and there will be more scruples.
Zu Ti thought of this, he knew that this was to go to the territory of the Zhao army to rob grain, and the speed must be fast, otherwise he would be attacked from front to back, so he ordered the sergeant to cut down trees overnight, and drove the lost wooden oxen and flowing horses in the camp!
When he was about to demonstrate it to Mo Dingfei, Mo Dingfei looked at the dwarf wooden ox and the flowing horse and said, "Big brother, how can this kind of cow and horse be so thin to set a grain cart?" ”
"You're wrong, I'm not asking them to set grain carts, but let them carry grain on their backs, I have driven a thousand wooden oxen and horses, and if I can carry back a thousand bags of grain, Shile will definitely be defeated!"
Mo Dingfei gently picked up a wooden ox with his hand and said, "I don't believe that such a small, light wooden ox and flowing horse can carry a bag of two hundred catties of grain!" ”
"Okay, then I'll show you!"
