Chapter 114 White rice turns to loess

He Si followed him into the well, and was led around the underground passage by Liu He and several people, and he didn't know how far he had walked in the dark, and then he was placed in a small room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

There were a few straw mats on the ground, and there were dry straw under the mats, and a few sergeants were lying there sleeping, Liu He said to He Si: "Now the ground is full of enemy troops from Jiangdong, you can't go back for a while, just rest here for a while." Be careful, don't run around, you can't tell the direction of this underground black light, and we won't give you torches. If you have something to say to them, when it's time to eat, someone will naturally bring you food. ”

He Si promised again and again: "Thank you, thank you." ”

"Let's go rest, too." Liu He turned around and left with two sergeants.

The sergeant reminded: "My lord, this person is a little suspicious, he said that he fled with his family, why did he faint and his family didn't know?" ”

Liu He nodded slightly: "It's suspicious, but now he can't run away anyway, let him stay first." If he is a spy and is surrounded by sergeants, he will naturally not be able to sleep well. Let's take care of God first, and then find someone to trick him. ”

On the ground, Lu Meng squinted his eyes and immediately ordered the grain to be transported away quickly. The Jiangdong sergeants were busy, scrambling to carry the grain in the granary to the boat on the lake outside the city, and before they knew it, it was almost time for dinner. Lu Meng was happy in his heart, and greeted loudly: "Just use the grain in this warehouse to feast for everyone, and enjoy the fruits of this victory!" ”

The sergeant happily carried many bags of rice and sent them to the gang. As soon as the guy opened the rice bag, he was dumbfounded, it was full of straw and loess, where was there a grain of rice, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "What is this, pigs won't eat these things, right?" ”

The sergeant carrying the rice bag hurriedly opened several other bags, but each one was almost the same, full of dry straw, dead branches and loess.

Lu Meng was thinking about whether to defend the city after moving the grain, or to lead the army to attack Changsha City nearby, when he heard the sergeant's report, he didn't want to believe it at all, he deliberately fell that day, and the bag was obviously rice; At dawn, he personally opened a grain bag, which was also rice, how could it be that it had turned into yellow mud now?

The sergeants were about to cry: "My lord, it's really loess, we have cut ten bags in a row, and they are all loess." ”

Lu Meng looked back at the warehouse that had been emptied, and took out his waist knife to cut open a rice grain bag again, and sure enough, it was full of dry grass and loess.

"No way, this can't be!" He didn't believe this fact, and cut open the rest of the rice bags one by one, but none of them contained rice.

"Impossible, this impossible, I don't believe it!" He turned to the warehouse next to him, raised his hand and slashed open another rice bag, and this time, it was really white rice flowing out.

"Look, you guys showed me a good idea, is this white rice?" Lu Meng seemed to find comfort.

Sergeants, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't answer.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Meng roared and cut several rice bags, and when he reached the bottom layer, the rice bag broke, revealing loess and dead grass again, and finally closed his mouth and stopped roaring.

Song Hao reacted, and hurriedly asked the sergeants to go to the warehouse to check other grain bags, only to hear a reply: "General, it's not rice." "It's loess." "Loess." "It's all loess." ……

"General, maybe we have been calculated." Song Hao cautiously approached Lu Meng.

Lu Meng quickly calmed down, and from last night to now, doubts have emerged in front of him.

The defenders deliberately set fire to the north gate to lure them to the north gate to attack the city, but Liu Pan broke through from the south gate with his men and horses, and what was waiting for him was the scene where the advance personnel who had previously infiltrated the city were collectively executed. This shows that the defenders have been carefully preparing for his surprise siege, but why should they fake the illusion that these people were killed in battle?

According to the reports of the subordinates, the city is already ten rooms and nine empty, and the people have almost escaped, where did they escape? There were definitely not so many people running out of the south gate last night, time did not allow, and the people couldn't run so fast.

The defenders had been preparing for a long time, but some time ago so much grain was brought in, it was impossible to transport it all so quickly, based on the scale of grain transportation and the area of Baqiu Tuntian that he observed in the past few days, it was impossible to transport all of them without hundreds of ships, even if there were so many ships, it would be too late to ship, so where did all the grain go? Could it be that he was also carrying loess before?

Thinking of this, Lu Meng walked to the back, picked up a rice bag and tried the amount, obviously felt heavier than the rice bag, and opened it to see, it was a bag of loess, but when he carried it on his back for two days, the weight was about the same, it should be all real rice? Now, where did all that rice go?

Before he had time to think about it, Lu Meng first asked the sergeant to check the bags one by one, select all the real rice bags, and then ordered him to hurry to the lake and check all the grain bags that had been loaded on the ship.

The defenders evacuated smoothly, most of the people disappeared, and the grain turned into loess, all of which shows that the people have been carefully prepared for a long time, otherwise it is impossible to do everything in an orderly manner in a short period of time, it seems that Song Hao is right, all this is a trap set by others in advance, did I really fall into their trap?

There was a little cold sweat on his forehead, and Lu Meng remembered that he had boasted about Lu Su before, and now he was still leading the army on the Yangtze River to be ready to respond at any time, if he just got an empty city and grabbed a few boats of loess to go back, then he was afraid that he would never be able to raise his head in Jiangdong again.

Grain, the key is food, as long as the food is found, it is a great achievement, Lu Meng believes that the grain will definitely not be transported away so quickly, it must have been hidden by the defenders.

"The grain must have been hidden by the enemy, so I will search it from house to house, search it carefully!" Lu Meng gritted his teeth and gave an order.

The city's food search began, anyway, there were not many people, it was very convenient to search, and it was rare to hear the sound of crying father and mother.

After searching for most of the day, until it was dark, all the rice cabinets and rice jars in the city were emptied, and it was not enough for the 10,000 army to eat two meals.

This is definitely not the grain stored in the granary of the city.

LΓΌ Meng ordered that all the remaining people in the city be gathered, and that tomorrow morning he would inquire in person. He believed that someone must know where the defenders had hidden all the grain, and that it was impossible for so much grain to be carried without any movement.

After two days and two nights, Lu Meng was really tired, he wanted to go back to Yueyang County Mansion to rest for a while, no matter what, after all, he still occupied the new city of Baqiu, and as the main general, he needed to go there to work and rest, to show that this place had been conquered by him.
