The battle lasted for nearly a day, whether it was Cao De or Liu Bei, there was almost no substantive progress. Except for the injury of nearly 10,000 soldiers each, there was nothing to be gained.

It is not easy to find the weakness of the army of more than 100,000 at every turn to break the deadlock. Even if you find a weak point and use the cavalry's high mobility and high lethality to rush in, what can you gain except to give the enemy a head? An army of more than 100,000 is not an existence that can be defeated with one blow.

In general, what is the biggest weakness of the army of more than 100,000 people? Naturally, it was logistical supplies. Therefore, when Cao De and Liu Bei were at a stalemate, Guo Jia thought of this, and then, countless sentry cavalry, taking advantage of the enemy's attention to the big battle, left the large army and scattered.

Cao Cao has no logistical weaknesses. Yes!

Cao De's expedition this time was a bit hasty. In the early stage, the grain and grass hoarded in Chang'an was taken away by Zhao Yun and Cao Ren. From the time Zhao Yun left to Cao De's expedition, although Cao De had been busy transporting grain, the time was still too short after all. Therefore, when Cao De set out on the expedition, although there was enough food, it couldn't last long. In this way, Cao De's logistics and transportation had to be lengthened and expanded. And this is Cao De's weakness.

Similarly, Liu Bei's weakness is also grain and grass. First of all, Liu Bei did not have Cao De's food. Although Cao De's grain has not been shipped over, Cao De has wow, but Liu Bei does not. Almost all the food that could be used was transported to the front line by Liu Bei. If there is a problem, although Qingzhou and Xuzhou can still squeeze Liu Bei, this part of the food is only enough for emergency needs.

So, Guo Jia felt it. found the location of Liu Bei's grain, and when it was burned, Liu Bei's army was self-defeating. Even if there is still a part of Liu Bei's Chen Liucheng, it can't support the long-term attrition of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Searching is a time-consuming and laborious task. Even though Guo Jia had already sent a sentry horse, it was impossible to find Liu Bei's lifeline so quickly. Moreover, Liu Bei now has Zhuge Liang as a military advisor, how can Zhuge Liang not know such an obvious weakness. Therefore, Liu Bei's grain was also hidden. As for where it was hidden, it is said that except for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, no one else knows. Moreover, apart from the two of them, almost no one cares about food.

If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Guan Yu, Liu Ye and Lu Yi only need to care about how to fight a good battle. For the rest, what the hell!

The next day, Cao De still led the army to confront Liu Bei. And Liu Bei also unceremoniously turned on the mode of hurting each other.

At the end of the day, the blood that had just dried up yesterday was immediately coated with a layer of fresh blood. After the two sides left more than 10,000 corpses, they went back to bury their pots and cook food, and each went back to his own house to find his own nest.

On the third day, it was still the same, and on the fourth day......

On the fourth day, today is different. The sentry sent out by Guo Jia finally returned. Covered in blood and dusty face.

"Guo Junshi, I found it, I found it. In Yongqiu, Yong... Qiu ...... "The sentry rode before he could say two words, and his head tilted...... Fainted!

Soon, Guo Jia found Cao De. "Prime Minister, I found it. Found Liu Bei's grain and grass. In Yongqiu. ”

"Is the information reliable?" It's been a few days, and Cao De doesn't know what Guo Jia is busy with, so it's a joke!

"The news that the Sentinel Rider brought back at the risk of death. This ......" Guo Jia was stunned, and when he was a god, Cao De became so cautious.

"Wait, what about the sentry? Bring me in! Cao De turned and looked back at the map before.

"This ......"

Half an hour later. Cao De summoned his generals.

"I found where Liu Bei's grain and grass were. The location is in Yongqiu. This is what the sentry saw with his own eyes by pretending to be a soldier of Liu Jun and following the grain truck. To send back this message, we lost six sentinels. So, Yongqiu we have to take it down! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yongqiu is less than seventy miles according to this. In order not to attract Liu Bei's attention, and to quickly withdraw the attack, who of you will go on this trip? ”

"Prime Minister! Subordinates are willing to go! ”

As soon as Cao De's words fell, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, and Wen Chou immediately rushed to stand up.

"Liu Jun's grain and grass matter is very important, and there is no room for error. This trip really needs a general to go in person! Cao De nodded, and he already had a clear candidate in his heart.

Just when Cao De was about to give an order, "Prime Minister! "Stayed in the back and stood up.

"The prime minister has already said that this trip must not attract Liu Jun's attention. But several generals are all people who are concerned by Liu Bei. If Liu Bei discovers it, then wouldn't our army's sneak attack plan ......"

"Reasonable!" Cao De thought about it and made sense.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Yuan led the troops outside to contain Liu Bei. Cao De recalled Zhang Liao in order to strengthen the strength of the Chinese army's battalion, which of course was both defensive and offensive. And it is precisely like this, every time everyone is in formation, whether it is Liu Bei or Cao De, they will see who is on the other side, and if one person is not there, Cao De will wonder if Zhuge Liang asked him to engage in some conspiracy.

And Duan Wei is different, the armor that Duan Wei wears is just the standard armor of an ordinary general. Therefore, Liu Bei's attention has almost always been on these small characters. And this is undoubtedly giving Cao De a chance. General Duan's words are reasonable. What do you generals think? ”

"Prime Minister, since General Duan has the heart to make meritorious contributions, it is better to become General Duan!" Guo Jia looked at the generals and stood up with some embarrassment and said. If you can really burn Liu Bei's grain and grass, what a great credit it will be. But this credit is actually going to fall on Duan Wei's head!

"Good! Since this is the case, then, Duan Wei listens to the order! ”

Duan Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates are here!" ”

"With three thousand cavalry. Attack Yongqiu! ”

"No!"

Duan Wei took the token and eagerly turned around and left. That's a great achievement. Duan Wei watched this meritorious service and the one who received the reward every day, although he had also received a lot of rewards, but this could not let him stand on the same line with Zhang Liao and them. I'm worse than them, it's just luck, it's just that I didn't get the opportunity. Now the opportunity has finally come, and the opportunity to make a name for yourself has also come!

From the camp to Yongqiu, it is only more than 60 miles away. If the speed is fast enough, one night will be enough for Duan Wei to finish the work back and forth. Therefore, Duan Wei was on the road, quickly whipped his horse, and hurried to Yongqiu.

When Duan Wei led the cavalry just set off, Liu Bei, who was in Chen Liucheng, had just received an urgent report.

"Lord, Cao De's sentry has infiltrated our rear, just now the sentry came to report that Cao De's sentry was found near Yongqiu." After Zhuge Liang learned the news, he hurried to find Liu Bei. And Liu Bei's reaction after hearing it was actually bigger than Zhuge Liang, after all, Yongqiu is too sensitive!
