Chapter 373: Go and rob the grain

Without the pursuit of the enemy, Zhang Junhou led the remnants of the army to Shangcai without danger along the way.

After a detailed investigation, after determining that Zhang Junhou and these people were his own people, Chen Ji put them into Shangcai City.

After entering the city, Zhang Junhou came to see Chen Ji with the remnants of the defeated soldiers.

"General Chen, we were robbed halfway, and all the grain and grass were robbed!" Zhang Junhou said to Chen Ji.

Chen Ji sighed and said to Zhang Junhou: "You are also the fourth grain team to be robbed, this Zhao Qian is going to cut off our way of life!" ”

"General, why don't you send troops to fight with that Zhao Qian?" Zhang Junhou asked.

Chen Ji glanced at Zhang Junhou and snorted coldly: "Fight with Zhao Qian?" Didn't you see Lei Bo's end? General Ben is not willing to surrender to Zhao Qian! ”

Zhang Junhou saw that Chen Ji was a little angry, and hurriedly resigned and said some sycophant words to calm Chen Ji's anger.

Chen Ji looked at Zhang Junhou and those people, who were also dusty, sighed, and said, "You wait to go down first and have a good rest." ”

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Junhou hurriedly thanked him and led his sergeants out of Chen Ji's camp.

"General, there is not much food and grass in the city now." Li Ji, a staff officer of the army next to him, stepped forward and said.

Chen Ji frowned and asked, "How many days is enough?" ”

"It's been less than half a month." Li Ji also said worriedly.

Chen Jidian sighed and asked again, "What about the movements of Zhao Qian's army?" Are there any signs of another siege? ”

Li Ji shook his head and said, "This is not true, it's just that Zhao Qian has been discharging small forces to loot our army's grain and grass, and it has been almost a month, and there is no grain and grass to transport into the city." ”

"What about the scouts sent out to ask for help? No news yet? Chen Ji frowned and asked.

Li Ji shook his head and said, "No one has sent back the news, and according to what I have seen, I am afraid that there is less luck." ”

Just when the two of them were frowning, a shout suddenly came from outside: "Report! ”

When Chen Ji heard this, he knew that it was the scout who had sent the news, and hurriedly shouted, "Come in, what's the news?" ”

"General Qiyu, discover the Zhao Qian's army food team!" When the scout came in, he hurriedly said.

Chen Ji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" How many centaurs are there? ”

Seeing that Chen Ji's face was anxious, the scout didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "General Hui, there are about a thousand people in the Dingshan Valley thirty miles north of Shangcai City. ”

"More than a thousand? So much? Chen Ji frowned, "It seems that Zhao Qian has transported a lot of grain and grass this time." ”

Li Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "General, Zhao Qian keeps sending men and horses to loot our grain and grass, why don't I use the way of others to treat his body and rob his grain and grass?" ”

Chen Ji said with some hesitation: "Zhao Qian is used to robbing grain, An Neng is defenseless, in case he falls for Zhao Qian's tricks, everything will be over." ”

Li Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, Zhao Qian will be unprepared!" ”

"But why?" Chen Ji asked with some incomprehension.

Li Ji shook his head and said quite confidently: "During this time, Zhao Qian continued to attack and harass our army's grain team, and the general did not send troops, which will definitely paralyze Zhao Qian, and he must have no defense against the general, so he must be unwary of transporting grain and grass this time." ”

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if!" Chen Ji was still not at ease.

Li Ji said a little hurriedly: "General, if you don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid that when the food in the city runs out, we won't need Zhao Qian to attack, and we will already be defeated." ”

This is not bad at all, if the army has no food, the army will be in chaos, and what is the purpose of being a soldier is to have enough to eat.

As for fighting for the country, at that time, on the basis of being able to eat enough, imagine that if you can't even guarantee food, how can you let the soldiers fight with their lives?

Chen Ji naturally understands this truth, there is no food in the army, and if the sergeants know about it, morale will be low at best, and there may be mutiny at worst.

At that time, Shangcai City will be as Li Ji said, and it will be self-defeating.

"Is this really not Zhao Qian's trap?" Chen Ji asked again.

At this time, Li Ji naturally couldn't hesitate, and immediately said: "It's definitely not a trap, it's a general's chance, it's a chance to go to Cai!" ”

Chen Ji thought about it again for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" I listened to your words, lit up the soldiers and horses, and I want to let Zhao Qian spit out everything he ate! ”
