The first time Beiping delivered grain and grass, it was successfully intercepted by the Shao army hiding in Lecheng County, and Zhao Yun's troops were patient and lurking, but they could no longer wait for the Shao army.

Zhao Yun frowned and stared at Lecheng County on the map, Shao Jun shrank like this, like an iron plate that he couldn't start, he tried to send troops to sneak into the city as a caravan, but he didn't succeed once.

This situation must be reversed, but where do we start?

Just when Zhao Yun's brows were tightened, Zhang Jaw stepped into the tent, looking at Zhao Yun's frowning appearance, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.

In fact, Zhang Jaw didn't expect Zhao Yun to be in deep distress, he thought that Zhao Yun would quickly think of a way, but as time passed, he knew that it was time to remind Zhao Yun.

Zhang Jaw reminded in a roundabout way, and said: "General Zilong, the reason why the Shao army is guarding the fortified city is because they know that there is our cavalry in the river, but the general has not thought about it, why do they still dare to send troops to intercept grain and grass even though they know that our cavalry is on the side?" ”

"What do you mean......"

Zhao Yun thought quickly in his heart, and instantly blessed his heart, and said, "You mean that the purpose of the Shao army is to stifle our army's food and grass?" ”

Zhang Jaw looked at him with a smile, and said: "This is also the contradiction of Shao Jun, I think they must have received Yuan Shao's order to intercept all the Gongsun Zhan military rations that were shipped to Yecheng, but Yuan Tan wanted to preserve his strength, so why didn't the general make more fuss in this regard?" ”

"Make more fuss about grain and grass?"

Zhao Yun looked up at Zhang Jaw as if he was unclear, and when the eyes of the two met, he suddenly realized that since Yuan Tan wanted to preserve his strength. Then he would not take the initiative to seek a decisive battle, but he received a military order to intercept grain and grass. This forced him to send troops out of the city, and Huo stood up. said with a smile: "What Jun Yi said is true, we should use our brains more on grain and grass!" ”

~~~~~~~~~

More than ten days later, a grain transport force from Youzhou went south again, and with this grain transport force south, the Yuan army hiding in Lecheng County has also received accurate information, when this grain transport force just arrived in Ju County, it was discovered by the Shao army sent out more than 1,000 troops, and began to follow.

"Yuan Duwei, you can't drag it out, it's dragging it down. is about to enter the territory of Shuzhou, but the eldest prince asked to eliminate this grain delivery team in Yan County, and if it can't be eliminated, it has to be withdrawn. Yuan Zhong's subordinate Sima Jiaofang said anxiously. After all, I have been hiding in Lecheng County, and if I finally come out empty-handed, I won't let my colleagues laugh and lose their big teeth when I come?

Yuan Zhong was born as a servant of the Yuan family, his surname was Li Wuming, and he was appreciated by Yuan Tan because of some of his talents, and he was given the surname Yuan, and he was given a loyal character. I hope that he will be loyal to the Yuan family and die in a hundred battles, this time Yuan Zhong accepted the task of intercepting or burning the grain team of Youzhou soldiers who sent grain to the south, if there were many soldiers in the grain transport team. His sneak attack force immediately returned to Le'an, and if there were few soldiers, they would be annihilated immediately.

The last time Li Wu robbed the grain, he won a big victory and was heavily rewarded by the eldest prince. made him greedy, and this time he finally applied for such a beautiful difference. How could he let go of this grain team of less than 500 people.

But today he always felt uneasy, as if something had happened. In addition, the food team in the distance was full of weirdness, which made it difficult for him to choose for a while.

"I know!"

Yuan Zhong, who was hiding in the dense forest, looked up at the grain team in the distance, and said to Sima Jiaofang: "You see that this grain team is only marching in an orderly manner, and the protection is extremely tight, it is by no means as bad as Li Wu said last time, isn't it strange?" Why do I think this food team is bait, just to lure us in? ”

"Captain, you're being too cautious!"

Jiao Fang had to find a way to convince this timid Yuan Duwei that if he had listened to his advice the previous time, how could he still be a little marching Sima at this time? If it weren't for his timidity and fear, he gave Li Wu a great credit, but I was afraid that he would also be promoted to lieutenant like Li Xiaoliu.

This time he couldn't miss such an opportunity again, not only for Yuan Zhong, but also for his own future, and said: "Du Wei, do you think, the Youzhou soldiers have already been robbed of grain and grass once, how can you not be more careful?" If they weren't so cautious this time, their men would have to wonder if they were cheating, but the fact that they were being vigilant now was enough to show that they didn't have any tricks! ”

Jiao Fang's words made Yuan Zhong have a feeling of clearing the clouds and seeing the essence of it, yes, if this grain team is not guarded, then there are definitely ghosts in it, and if they are so careful to put it like this, it means that they are afraid of being robbed of grain again, and it is precisely because they have no reinforcements that they will be careful and vigilant.

"You're right, we're going to rob this grain team tonight!" Yuan Zhong finally made up his mind and said.

"Captain Yuan, why not now!" Jiao Fang was a little puzzled, after all, if this grain team was intercepted now, they would have enough time to leave without being discovered by the Youzhou soldiers, but if they robbed the grain at night, they couldn't go anywhere faster if they wanted to run in the dark

"Look at their defenses, as well as the big shields in the hands of these food delivery soldiers, we don't have bows and crossbows, if we hit hard, the casualties will inevitably be heavy, so not only will we not be rewarded, but we will also be scolded, do you say it is better to fight now, or to sneak attack at night?"

Jiao Fang was stunned, if he couldn't even get credit for a battle, then what was the point of fighting this battle, and laughed: "Fight at night, of course at night!" ”

It was the third watch of the night, the Jizhou soldiers took advantage of the rest of the Youzhou grain transport team to launch a fierce attack, the grain team initially resisted fiercely, but after being wiped out by the Jizhou soldiers more than 100 people, all of them lost their fighting spirit, and the resistance became weaker and weaker.

The military Sima who was in charge of transporting grain looked at the Yuan army who was about to break through the periphery, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he shouted: "Give up the grain and grass and retreat!" ”

"Sima, what about these big shields?"

The soldiers on the side said: "If you take these big shields, not only will you not be able to run fast, but I am afraid that you will be caught up by Yuan Jun!" ”

"Put them all on the grain cart and give them to Yuan Jun! Then get out of the way! "These big shields are gifts specially prepared by Jun Sima for Yuan Jun, and since Yuan Jun has already come, of course I have to leave these gifts to them.

After the military order was like a mountain, nearly 500 people immediately stacked the big shield on more than 10 carriages that delivered grain, and then fled south, and soon disappeared into the night.

The Yuan army did not chase the fleeing Youzhou soldiers, their goal was the grain and grass in the camp, and then more than 1,000 people lit torches and dragged the fallen horses and unloaded carriages from all around the camp.

Yuan Zhong, who had been commanding the battle from afar, never thought that the Youzhou soldiers would escape like this, could it be that the previous grain robbery left an indelible shadow on their hearts?

No matter what, the Youzhou soldiers had already retreated, Yuan Zhong quickly came to the Youzhou soldiers' camp, and as soon as he entered the camp, Jiao Fang greeted him and said, "Captain, what should I do with this grain and grass?" Was it pulled away or burned? ”

"Of course I pulled it away, didn't Li Wu be rewarded last time for bringing back the grain and grass, if we burn it like this, it won't seem that you and I are incompetent!"

Jiao Fang smiled: "Yes!" Then he shouted: "Count the grain trucks, and quickly leave this place!" ”

After a while, a soldier came over with a frown on his brows and said, "Sima, the grain carts are full of big shields, and it is difficult to count them for a while!" ”

Yuan Zhong on the side heard what the soldier said to Jiao Fang, his brows furrowed, and a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his heart, that is, the reason why the Youzhou soldiers put the big shield on the grain cart was to delay time.

Worried in his heart, he hurriedly gave an order, saying: "No need to count, throw down the big shield, take the carriage and evacuate quickly!" ”

"Captain, why is that?" Jiao Fang came to his side and asked.

Yuan Shao shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said: "I have some ominous feelings in my heart, I always feel that the Youzhou soldiers are deliberately delaying time!" ”

"Captain, are you too worried?" Jiao Fang understands his temperament, if his rat gall suddenly becomes a leopard gall, then it is not him Yuan Zhong.

Yuan Zhong frowned, a little displeased, and said, "Whether it's too much to worry about or not, the grain and grass have already been robbed, and it is best to evacuate early!" ”

"What the Captain said!"

Jiao was relieved to despise his rat gall, and then shouted, "Remove the big shield from the car and evacuate immediately!" ”

Yuan Jun, who left the big shield, put the carriage on the wheel, and then drove the carriage and began to evacuate.

Just when Yuan Jun had withdrawn less than a stick of incense, he suddenly felt the roar of Zhenshan shaking Yue from the distant earth, and even the earth began to tremble.

Yuan Zhong was shocked in his heart, and it happened that at this time, when the eyes of the two met, they both saw a worried look in each other's eyes, and a panicked look instantly surged into his heart. They never thought that the Youzhou soldiers would come so quickly.

Yuan Zhong knew that with the momentum of the cavalry in the distance, they would not be able to take away the grain and grass no matter what, so without any hesitation, he ordered, saying: "Set fire to burn these grain and grass, no matter what, you can't let the Youzhou soldiers get it!" ”

Yuan Jun began to set fire to the grain, but strange things happened again, the soldiers lit it several times in a row, but they were never able to ignite the grain and grass in the cart, and one of the carriages ignited the grain and grass belt, and then extinguished it in an instant, and then rolled down countless gravel from the burned grain and grass bales.

The soldier ran forward and said, "Lord Captain, the grain and grass bales are full of gravel!" ”

"What!"

Yuan Zhong stared at the soldier in shock, then jumped off the horse, came to the grain cart worriedly, waved his sword to pick open the grain and straw bales, reached out and grabbed a handful, and sure enough, he grabbed a handful of sand from it.

"!"

Yuan Zhong angrily threw the sand in his hand to the ground, and then shouted: "Withdraw!" ”

But he didn't notice that Sima Zheng, who had fled from Youzhou before, was quietly approaching with a white horse general, followed by a hundred white horse soldiers, and the bell on the horse was taken off at this time, and even the horse's hooves and horse's mouth were entangled in cloth bags.

With the reflection of Yuan's torches, General Baima took off the overlord's bow, drew arrows, and aimed at Yuan Zhong. (To be continued.) )
