Chapter 374: Not Grain and Grass

That night, Chen Ji ordered his sergeants to have a full meal, and then personally led the team to the direction of Dingshan.

As for Shang Cai, it was handed over to Li Ji.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and Chen Ji and his people were tied to their feet, without a moment's stop, marching in a hurry.

After a short while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Chen Ji immediately ordered to stop advancing, and after a while, a man rode a horse.

It turned out to be a scout who went to explore the way, and Chen Ji hurriedly asked, "What is the situation ahead?" ”

The scout got off his horse, clenched his fists, and said, "Five miles ahead, I can find a local grain transport team." ”

"That's so!" Chen Ji nodded, it seems that this time, Zhao Qian really underestimated himself.

"How's the grain guard?" Chen Ji asked again.

The scout replied, "There are two guards in each of the four directions, and a patrol of dozens of men patrolling back and forth, while the other sergeants sleep in the nearest grain cart." ”

Chen Ji was happy in his heart, it seemed that he would succeed tonight, and all the grain and grass that had been sporadically looted by Zhao Qian before must be taken back.

"The whole army has it, speed up, and defeat the grain protection team with lightning speed!" Chen Ji passed the order down, and the army began to move again.

It didn't take long for the light and shadow of the torch to be reflected in Chen Ji's eyes, and Chen Ji knew that the destination had arrived.

After signaling the army to stop, Chen Ji craned his neck to look, and at a glance, the situation was exactly as the scout said.

The guards were loose and unvigilant, and even the camp was not set up, and the sergeants rested on the spot.

Chen Ji snorted coldly, and couldn't help but slander Zhao Qian, all the princes in the world said that Zhao Qian was good at leading troops and had strict military discipline, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

Thinking that it was a good thing, the people spread the truth and spread the god of Zhao Qian, but in fact, he was just an ordinary person.

It must have been Lei Bo's carelessness and Zhao Qian's tricks that led to the annihilation of the whole army, he Chen Ji has always been cautious and will not be used by Zhao Qian.

Thinking that the lord Yuan Shu has not won a single victory since he started the war with Zhao Qian, tonight is the first victory he fought for Yuan Shu, and this credit is his Chen Ji.

After observing for a while, and finding that the sergeant of the grain transportation team did not notice that the enemy was approaching at all, Chen Ji sneered, suddenly took the reins of the horse, and shouted loudly: "Kill!" ”

At the sound of an order, the sergeants behind Chen Ji shouted loudly and rushed to the grain cart one after another, and the sergeants who escorted the grain cart woke up suddenly, and when they saw that a large army was attacking, they all picked up weapons to resist.

However, with mental calculations or unintentional, how could these sergeants resist Chen Ji's army, and after a while, the defense line collapsed.

However, just when Chen Ji wanted to kill and vent the sullenness in his chest, those grain guards fell to their knees one after another and began to beg for mercy.

"General Chen, a little acquaintance general, beg the general to spare his life!"

"Spare your life, general, we are all Huaiyang sergeants, and we were coerced by Zhao Qian."

"General, I am the lieutenant under General Lei Bo, we met in Shouchun."

Chen Ji was stunned for a moment, and when he saw this situation, he realized that he dared to love this team, but it was a thunderous army, no wonder the military discipline was loose, and it was so easy to be broken by himself.

Moreover, listening to the accents of these people, it is indeed the Huaiyang area, but this cannot be wrong.

"Your surrender to the enemy should have been a capital crime, but this general is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and in the future, you will serve under my command, and you need to fight bravely to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, do you hear?" Chen Ji asked.

"Thank you for sparing your life, thank you for sparing your life!"

Chen Ji nodded, didn't pay attention to them anymore, but shouted to his subordinate sergeants: "Pack up the grain and grass, go back to the city, this place is not suitable for a long time!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a sergeant shouted: "General, it's not good, we have been tricked, these are not grain and grass at all!" ”
