Zhao Yun killed a battle and joined Chen Lan.

Seeing that he was covered in blood, Chen Lan asked, "Where is the general's injury?" ”

"It's all the blood of the enemy." Zhao Yun grinned and said to Chen Lan: "This killing is a pleasure. ”

"It's a pity that the military rations are gone,......," Chen Lan said with some annoyance.

"General Chen really thinks those are military rations?" Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Before leaving, Pang Gong told me that the bag was full of fine stones, and if Liu Bei wanted to build a house here, it would be useful to bring these things back." If he wanted to use it for the soldiers, he would probably be disappointed. ”

"Pebbles?" Chen Lan's eyes widened: "Why didn't I get any news in advance?" ”

"No one else has been heard from but me." Zhao Yun said: "It was a group of people who put the stones into bags, another group of people who carried the stones into the car, and another group of people who escorted the stones. If Pang Shiyuan hadn't told me earlier, how would I have known that there would be stones inside? He didn't tell the general, presumably that the more people who knew about it, the more likely it was that the secret would be leaked. ”

"I don't understand it at first." Chen Lan said confusedly: "What is Pang Gong's intention in doing this?" We escorted them for several days, could it be that we were just sending some stones to rob the enemy? ”

"What Shi Yuan's intentions are, I will only know when I see him." Zhao Yun said: "General Chen, please take the soldiers back to Anhui City the same way, and I will go to Shiyuan to help." ”

"No need to escort grain and grass over?" Chen Lan asked.

"No!" Zhao Yun said: "When Shiyuan asked me to transport grain and grass, I had already asked the same question. He said that as long as the stones were robbed by the enemy, there was no need to send grain and grass to the battlefield. ”

"I still can't figure it out......" Chen Lan was still confused.

Zhao Yun said: "General Chen doesn't need to figure it out, as long as he knows that our army will win this battle." ”

After speaking, he arched his hand to Chen Lan: "The general has a good way to go, I won't send it!" ”

"General Zhao really won't go back with us?" Chen Lan asked in surprise.

"You may need me ahead." Zhao Yun said: "As long as General Chen brings the soldiers and people back to Anhui City intact, it will be a great achievement." ”

"I'll go first!" Turning the war horse, Zhao Yun shook the reins and rode away.

Looking at his back, it wasn't until he walked away that Chen Lan instructed the soldiers on the side: "Pass the order and return to Anhui City." ”

Although Zhao Yun's war horse is not as good as Lu Bu's red rabbit, it is also a good horse in case of one.

It's less than 200 miles, and it's only a day's errand.

Entering the Pang Tong military camp, Zhao Yuncai jumped off the horse, and Pang Tong took Lu Bu and Wei Yan to meet him.

Seeing that he was covered in blood, Pang Tong asked, "General Zhao fought with the enemy?" ”

"I let the soldiers go first, and I rushed into the enemy army alone and killed them." Zhao Yun said with a smile: "This killing is so unpleasant!" ”

"General Zhao is brave, and he is even more powerful when he comes to the army." Pang Tong smiled and asked, "They robbed the military rations?" ”

"Robbed." Zhao Yun said: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's faces are probably not good-looking. ”

He then asked: "We didn't escort the military rations here, and we don't plan to let General Chen transport the military rations again, what will the soldiers eat in the future?" ”

"Zilong may not know yet." Lu Bu said on the side: "Shi Yuan has asked General Zhu to intercept the enemy's people raising grain and grass everywhere in the past two days, and has robbed a lot of grain and grass from them, even if the soldiers are stationed for another month, it is enough." ”

"I see." Zhao Yun said: "Let's transport stones and fake grain and grass, Shi Yuan never thought of letting the soldiers eat their own military rations. ”

"Other people's food is always delicious, and the stolen military rations are even sweeter." Pang Tong said: "At this time, I really want to talk to Zhuge Kongming and see what his face is. ”

Hearing Pang Tong's words, Lu Bu and the others all laughed.

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei returned to the barracks, their faces were very bad.

They didn't bring back the military rations, and when Liu Bei saw them, he asked, "Two virtuous brothers, could it be that the enemy army intercepted it so badly that you burned the military rations?" ”

Both of them had a look of chagrin on their faces.

Guan Yu replied: "Where is there any military rations?" The bags in that cart were full of stones. ”

Liu Bei was stunned, and then looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang smiled coldly, and said with a not very good-looking face: "What a Pang Shiyuan, he actually came with such a hand." If the news spreads, the morale of the soldiers will surely be damaged. ”

"Very few of the people in our army who went out to collect grain and grass were able to come back alive, and they were all intercepted by Zhu Ao." Liu Bei said: "There is not much grain and grass in the army, I'm afraid it won't be able to support it for too long......"

"Where can it be supported?" Zhuge Liang said: "In this case, we have only one choice, which is to attack the enemy immediately while the news has not spread. ”

Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, a guard's voice came from outside the tent: "Envoy Qi, Cao Jun is scolding." ”

Hearing that Cao Jun was scolding, Zhuge Liang's face was even worse, and he hurriedly rushed out of the handsome tent.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, and then ran out of the handsome tent.

When they came to the edge of the barracks, they heard Cao Jun on the other side laughing and scolding, asking them what the stones they had looted tasted like, and asking them how many days they could last without food in the army.

"I knew Pang Shiyuan would do this." Zhuge Liang said: "Please give the order of the envoy, the whole army will attack, be sure to break through Pang Shiyuan's defense line, and lead the army back to Jingzhou." ”

"Pass the order." Liu Bei commanded to the side: "The whole army will attack and break the enemy army!" ”

There was a horn in the Jingzhou army formation, and Pang Tong, who had been prepared for a long time, said to Lu Bu and the others: "Generals, please lead the army to evacuate separately, listen to the horn of our army, let the enemy army pounce first, and then gather and annihilate them when their morale is low." ”

Lu Bu and the others responded, and led the soldiers and horses of their headquarters to leave.

Pang Tong led 2,000 Cao troops all the way south to retreat.

Cao's army scattered and withdrew, and Liu Bei, who led the army to charge, pounced.

Looking at the empty Cao army camp, Liu Bei was stunned and asked Zhuge Liang: "What is the intention of the enemy army to leave without a fight?" ”

"They split up in several ways, so that we can suddenly kill when we are tired." Zhuge Liang said: "Don't pay attention to it, just lead the troops to the south." ”

"Give the order to go down, all the way south, and don't turn back." Liu Bei shouted.

Accompanying Pang Tong was Zhu Ao, who had robbed the enemy's military rations in the past few days.

Glancing back, seeing the smoke and dust billowing from the rear, Zhu Ao shouted to Pang Tong: "Pang Gong, Liu Bei doesn't seem to pay attention to General Lu and them at all, just blindly chasing us." ”

"General Zhu has ever seen a hunter hunt wild boar?" Continuing to lead the troops, Pang Tong asked Zhu Ao.
