The military rations escorted by Han Meng were robbed by Cao's army.

Yuan Shao, who got the news, hurriedly sent Zhang He to help.

But when Zhang He arrived, he only watched Cao Jun cross the Yellow River and transport the grain and grass that should have been sent to Yuan Jun to Cao Jun's military camp.

In the handsome tent, Yuan Shao's face was pale.

He looked around at the crowd and asked, "Since sending troops to deal with Cao Mengde, our army has suffered losses at his hands again and again, don't you have anything to say?" ”

The staff and generals sitting in the tent lowered their heads one by one, and they didn't dare to look at Yuan Shao more.

"What? All dumb? The silence of the crowd made Yuan Shao even more annoyed, he slapped the table and asked everyone, "Who has a way to break Cao Zirong?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

In the end, Feng Ji stood up.

He made a big salute to Yuan Shao and said: "Yuan Gong is angry, Cao Zirong has caused trouble to our army, which is nothing more than that he intercepted our army's grain and grass. It is said that Cao's army was short of food and grass, and Cao Cao ordered Cao Zirong to collect money from Huainan and other places. It is a long way to transport grain and grass from Huainan to Guandu...... If our army can ......"

Feng Ji didn't say any more.

His meaning is already very clear, if Yuan Shao still can't figure it out, he can only say that he is really not suitable for being a lord.

Yuan Shao's face really looked much better.

Looking at Feng Ji, he asked suspiciously, "You mean to intercept the enemy's grain and grass?" ”

"Exactly." Feng Ji said: "Whatever method Cao Cao uses to deal with our army, our army will use whatever method to deal with him." Anyway, our Hebei soldiers are strong and strong, is it possible that we will be afraid of Cao Cao? ”

"That makes sense." Yuan Shao nodded and asked, "In your opinion, who is appropriate to send to intercept grain and grass?" ”

"Zhang Junyi!" Feng Ji said: "General Zhang's martial arts are extraordinary, unless Cao Zirong sends Lu Bu to escort the grain and grass, and the others escort, with General Zhang's ability, they are not afraid of them." ”

"What if Cao Zirong really sent Lu Bu?" Yuan Shao asked.

"There's absolutely no way he'll let Lu Bu go." Feng Ji said: "Lu Bu has repeatedly betrayed the master, Cao Zirong believes him, but Cao Cao does not believe him. How could Cao Cao hand over such an important matter as escorting grain and grass to Lu Bu? ”

When Feng Ji said this, Yuan Shao was suddenly stunned.

"Dumbfounded." Looking at Zhang He, Yuan Shao said: "How sure are you that you will lead the troops to rob the Cao army's grain and grass?" ”

"Back to Yuan Gong, there is no point." Zhang He got up and said: "Cao Zirong has only taken away our army's grain and grass, he must have expected that our army will retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and it is absolutely impossible to let our army go to rob the grain without defense." So I don't think there is any chance of winning at all if I rush to rob grain. ”

"It's not appropriate for General Zhang to say that." Feng Ji said: "Even if Cao Zirong is prepared, from Huainan to Guandu, the journey is so long, I don't believe he can take precautions everywhere?" The general pushes three and resists four, is it possible that he is cowardly? ”

"Cowardice?" Zhang He frowned slightly, and asked Feng Ji: "Feng Gong is not cowardly, why don't you go in person, but let me, a cowardly soldier, take the soldiers to death?" ”

"The battle hasn't been fought yet, and I actually said that I was sent to death first." Feng Ji saluted Yuan Shao and said: "Zhang He is causing trouble to the army, and he also asks Yuan Gong to take it!" ”

"I just said that this method will send the soldiers to death, when will it disturb the morale of the army?" Zhang He glared at Feng Ji: "You don't want to have bloody mouths and white teeth, and say something to bewitch Yuan Gong here." ”

"Alright, alright!" Yuan Shao stopped the two of them, and he said to Zhang He: "Yuan Tu doesn't mean anything else, it's just to recommend Jun Yi to take credit for his position." Don't go to your heart. ”

"I don't mean anything else, I just remind Yuan Gong that Cao Zirong is not easy to deal with." Zhang He said: "Since he dared to come and rob our army's grain and grass, how could he not make a perfect response when he escorted the grain and grass himself?" ”

"That's right." Yuan Shao said: "But our army can't always be unresponsive to Cao Zirong's repeated provocations, and we must let him understand what it means to stop." ”

With a sigh, Yuan Shao said: "I said, you are the only one left in Hebei Tingzhu back then, if you refuse to accept the order in danger, I don't think this battle will have to be fought." I personally went to surrender to Cao Cao. ”

"Yuan Gong ......" Yuan Shao's words, Zhang He didn't know how to deal with it.

He thought for a moment and said, "Since Yuan Gong insists on me going, then I'll go." But there is one thing I want to make clear before I set out on the expedition. ”

"Please speak." Yuan Shao gestured to Zhang He.

"If this expedition is not successful, it is completely Cao Zirong's proper deployment, not that I and the soldiers are incompetent." Zhang He said: "At that time, I will ask Yuan Gong to forgive me and the soldiers." ”

"You've already said this, is it possible that I will force you to do it?" Yuan Shao said: "If you really can't grab the grain and grass, you can just burn it with a fire." ”

Yuan Shao's words revealed that he would not blame, and Zhang He received the military order.

Leaving the handsome tent, Zhang He took a deep breath.

He did not agree with the method proposed by Feng Ji.

Cao Shuo's success in robbing the Yuan army of grain and grass was entirely due to the fact that the Yuan army did not have any precautions in advance.

Yuan Shao asked him to rob Cao Jun's grain and grass.

With Cao Shuo's thoughts, how could he not take any precautions?

Zhang He had a feeling that he was really drilling into a bag that had been waiting for him with his mouth open for a long time.

What's worse is that he didn't want to drill at all, but Yuan Shao pushed him hard in the back, so that he couldn't find a reason not to drill.

Zhang He was ordered to prepare to intercept Cao's grain and grass, and Zhao Yun and Xu Huang were also rushing to Huainan at this time.

The two of them did not bring many soldiers, and Cao Shuo had already explained to them that the Escort Grain and Grass Association would send additional soldiers, so they did not need to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

Riding a horse and walking on the road, Xu Huang asked Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, Gongzi arranged that either of us can be used to escort grain and grass, why did you send both of us?" ”

"Gongzi intercepted the grain and grass of the Yuan family, and the general thinks that the Yuan family will not get this field back?" Zhao Yun replied: "The two of us will escort together, no matter who the Yuan family sends, with our skills, the grain and grass will definitely be safe and sound." ”

"It is said that almost all of the Tingzhu in Hebei were captured by Gongzi." Xu Huang said: "From this point of view, the Yuan family really won't necessarily be the opponent of the Cao family. ”

"With Childe here, what is the general worried about?" Zhao Yun said: "Since I followed Childe, I haven't seen him win with a large number of people, which time is not that there are fewer soldiers and horses than others, but in the end Childe wins?" ”

"As soon as the general said that, I understood." Xu Huang said: "This time, I am fortunate to escort the grain and grass with the general, and I hope to take care of more on the way." ”

"Well said!" Zhao Yun replied: "The general and I should take care of each other, and we must not let Yuan Jun take advantage of the loophole." ”
