Chapter 24 Burning Grain

"Brother Ling, do you think Li Siye will rush to Majiayao first?" An Shouyi was a stocky man, in his fifties, with a scar on his face.

Ling Kun's face was solemn, "It's hard to say, those Tang dogs are all cavalry, and they don't bring heavy grain and grass, they travel lightly, and their speed is extremely fast!" “

An Shou nodded, suddenly thought of something, and looked puzzled, "I have heard of Li Siye, it is said that he joined the army in his teens, is brave and good at fighting, and is good at using Mo Dao. Brave is brave, but I haven't heard of him being resourceful. According to your description, brother, the battle the night before yesterday was not something that ordinary people could think of. ”

"Alas, it's all my carelessness," Ling Kun sighed.

An Shouyi shook his head, "This is by no means careless, but Tang Gou is really cunning." Oh, by the way, the people who escaped from the general's ditch last time said that there seems to be a firehead army under Li Siye, and it is said that it was this guy's idea to take the general's ditch! Combined with Tanma's intelligence, this person seems to be called Chen Wenzhou! ”

Ling Kun raised his eyebrows and looked at An Shouyi, "Brother, if you don't say it, I haven't paid attention yet." I also heard about the battle of Jiangjungou, Tang Gou's tactics are indeed ingenious, and there should be guidance from a master. The day before yesterday, in the battle of the Cangtou River, Tang Dog actually sneaked across the river under my nose, and I still can't figure out how they came over. If that's the case, then this one should have done it both times! ”

An Shou looked serious, "It's not simple!" From this point of view, this man is scheming and likes to fight at night. It seems that we should try to avoid night battles, so how about we march during the day and camp at night? ”

Ling Kun nodded thoughtfully, "What the elder brother said is extremely true. Just in case, I have sent people to Zuoyun County to inform them not to bring grain over for the time being, so as not to be intercepted by Li Siye and them on the way. ”

An Shouyi smiled and said, "It's still the old brother who does things safely." ”

Ling Kun's old face flushed and waved his hand ashamedly.

At noon, Chen Wenzhou was playing with Xiaohua, and Nan Jiyun hurriedly brought a few scouts to meet him.

"Master Book, the scout is back!" Nan Jiyun said.

"Come in," Chen Wenzhou brought Nan Jiyun and the scouts to the temporary headquarters.

A scout arched his hand and said, "Master Book, we have inquired clearly, there are two large official posts between the Right Guard Post and Zuoyun County. Look," said the scout, pointing to the map, "these two official posts, one is Majiayao, which is located on our southwest side, and the other is Lijiayao, which is on our southeast side!" ”

Chen Wenzhou looked at the sketchy map, and sure enough, as the scout said, Guantun Fort was on the north side, Majiayao was on the southwest side, and Lijiayao was on the southeast side, and the three locations formed a triangle.

Chen Wenzhou asked: "Is there a road from here to Majiayao and Lijiayao?" ”

The scout nodded and said, "There is a way." And according to the information we have received, the rebels have recently requisitioned grain in the entire Youyu County, and Majiayao is the transshipment point for their requisition. ”

"How many defenders are there?" Chen Wenzhou asked.

The scout said: "Majiayao is a small post station, which only provides rest and supplementary drinking water for these scattered grain requisition troops, and does not have a permanent garrison. ”

Chen Wenzhou nodded, "That's reasonable." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Siye asked.

Chen Wenzhou said: "Big brother, you think, if Majiayao has a permanent garrison and it is a large-scale grain storage site, Ling Kun will definitely defend there." Also, Majiayao is already the hinterland of Youyu County, there is Cangtou River on the north side, Zuoyun County on the east side, and the right guard post on the west side. ”

Li Siye and Nan Jiyun both nodded.

"Master, what should we do now?" Nan Jiyun asked.

"Report!" Chen Wenzhou was about to speak, when a scout came to report.

"Report to the general, the chief bookkeeper, we followed the instructions, blocked the official road from Zuoyun to the right guard last night, and sure enough, we caught a rebel messenger around the third watch today, and found a letter from him! Moreover, we learned from the villagers who live near the official road that Zuoyun County transports a batch of grain and grass to Youyucheng every five days, and today is the five-day period! ”

"Oh?" Chen Wenzhou hurriedly took the letter, and when he saw it, he patted his thigh happily, "God help me!" Big brother, look. ”

Li Siye looked at Chen Wenzhou with a happy brow, took the letter and looked at it, sure enough, it was a letter written by Ling Kun to the Zuoyun defenders, which roughly meant that the Right Front Army had broken through the Cangtou River and entered the scope of Youyu County, so that Zuoyun County would temporarily stop replenishing the grain and grass to Youyu City, so as not to be sacked by the Right Front Army.

"Wen Zhou, what should we do then?" Li Siye hurriedly asked.

Chen Wenzhou tapped on the map, his mind was running rapidly, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said: "Captain Nan, you personally go out, select an elite scout with a quick mind and extraordinary skills to take with you, and hurry to the right guard post, remember, don't look back if you don't see the movement of the rebels, don't go back here as soon as there is any trouble, immediately come east along the official road to find us!" ”

"The last general commands!" Nan Jiyun took the order and left.

"General, immediately gather the soldiers and horses, let's hurry to Majiayao!"

Li Siye nodded and arranged to go.

Majiayao, located in the middle of the right guard post and Zuoyun County, is a small station on the official road between Hebei and Hedong, but because it is connected to the upper reaches of the Cangtou River in the north, Zuoyun in the east, and the right guard in the west, it is the hub area in Youyu County, so the flow of people and vehicles is full of horses.

At this time, a grain collection squad of the Jingbian Army was carrying more than a dozen truckloads of grain and grass to rest at Majiayao.

The team leader is playing with a silver ornament, which he snatched from a farmer's house when he went to the nearby grain collection, and the team leader thought that when he returned to Youyu City tomorrow, he could take this thing to coax the top young lady in Yichun Courtyard, and the beauty was tempted, maybe she would be able to climb her high ground.

"Brothers, let's set off after packing up, and strive to catch up with Youyu tomorrow, hehe, when the time comes, brother and I will be the east, please go to Yichun Courtyard to be happy!"

"Hahahaha," dozens of Jingbian soldiers laughed, and a green light of courtship appeared in their eyes.

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke and dust drifted from the sky in the distance, and a sharp-eyed soldier said, "Team leader, what do you see over there?" ”

The team leader made a monkey gesture to look at the sun, blocking the daylight, and looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a puff of smoke, and before he could speak, the sound of dense horses' hooves came as quickly as a drumbeat.

"What is this?" The team leader's consciousness has no concept of the officers and soldiers having been killed, and he is still wondering which brother army is so arrogant, and when the cavalry arrives, the team leader can see clearly that it is all the banners of the officers and soldiers, and he is shocked to go out of his body, and the ghost screams "Tang Dog is here!" Come on! ”

The cavalry impact speed was faster than that of the low-speed train within 200 meters, so there was no waiting for the grain squad to react, the right front army had already killed the post house, and there was no suspense, and the grain squad was all captured.
