Chapter 412: Old Tricks
Since winter, Jingzhao has had several heavy snowfalls, two of which were goose feather snowfalls. /。 //
The road is getting more and more rugged, whether it is Guanzhong or Yingchuan, the transportation of grain and grass has become difficult.
Liu Bei's mood was not very good, and his mood began to be low. On the Luhun Pass opposite the new city, Pang De saw that he did not take advantage of anything after several encounters, so he stopped the onslaught, but adopted the tactics of attacking and harassing, and constantly sent a small group of people to Lu Hun Pass to kill, cut off the grain road, and raided the village, which made Liu Bei very uncomfortable to guard.
These small groups of people come and go like the wind, and they will never stay for a moment.
Liu Bei sent troops to encircle and suppress several times, but they were all unsuccessful. At the same time, due to the blockage of the grain channel, the grain and grass in the sunny side will inevitably be affected. For this reason, Zhou Yu was already very unhappy and ordered Liu Bei to solve the problem as soon as possible.
But how can it be solved?
Liu Bei has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, as well as defending the new city and defending against Pang De's sudden attack, how can he divide the troops and horses?
This big war has lasted too long!
The long Liu Bei was already annoyed...... Since the alliance was formed last year, it has been a year since I stayed in Jingzhao!
If it weren't for Xuzhou Guan Yu and Sima Lang in charge, Liu Bei really couldn't put his mind at ease.
Good news is not without it! Guan Yu wrote that Xu You and Wen Chou had arrived and brought a frustration.
When Liu Bei was under Yuan Shao, he was very clear about the methods of frustration.
If you can subdue him......
Of course, it is very difficult to subdue the frustration, and with the means of Guan Yu and Sima Lang, I am afraid it will be difficult to make the frustration surrender.
So Liu Bei could only reply and say: Take good care of Mr. Fuzhi. Don't slack off. He lets him do whatever he wants, and gives him what he needs. Everything will be discussed in detail with Mr. Fu after I return to Xuzhou.
I thought it was just a few months.
Unexpectedly, it dragged on for a whole year.
"Shaoxian, is there any movement on the other side today?"
Liu Bei sat in the palace. There was a fire pit in the hall, and the charcoal fire was blazing, making the house warm like spring. While knitting straw sandals, he asked without raising his head. There was also a person in the room. It is the young general of Qu Alai, who is highly favored.
"Recently, Lu Hun Pass has been very quiet, and there has been no movement. However, Lord Changshi is very attentive and takes people to inspect every day. ”
"Zhongda has a heart!"
Liu Bei was very skillful, and quickly knitted a straw sandal, with a smile on his face. I took two looks and was very satisfied.
At this time. As soon as the coarse cloth curtain was lifted, Sima Yi walked into the room with a chill.
Seeing the straw sandals in Liu Bei's hand, he couldn't help frowning.
He was quite dissatisfied with Liu Bei doing this kind of thing all day long. When persuading. Liu Bei sent it away in the name of not daring to forget the poverty of the past, but in Sima Yi's opinion, this kind of peddler pawn thing. Now that Liu Bei, who is already a relative of the emperor and a prince, he really shouldn't do it.
"Zhongda, how's it going?"
When Liu Bei saw Sima Yi coming in, he hurriedly put away his straw sandals.
Sima Yi said: "There is not much movement in Luhun Pass, but the heavy snow has closed the road, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult to transport grain and grass." I'm worried that if this continues, there will be some fluctuations on the yang side, and this war will last too long! ”
We all know that it lasts a bit long, but who can do it?
Liu Bei said: "Not only Yang, but now Yang and Qingzhou are not very optimistic. Gao Ran is in Qingzhou and has already taken Pingyuan County, and I heard that General Cao Chun and General Yu Ban have been ordered to go to Qingzhou to support...... General Cao Ren, who was also forced by the Dong thief army in Yanjin, was in a hurry, and I heard that a few days ago, Zhang He almost broke through the Tiger Prison Pass. ”
Sima Yi sighed helplessly.
"Yes, it's not resting right now...... Liu Biaotun of Jingzhou troops in Nanyang made it difficult for both sides of Yingchuan in Runan to live in peace. Liao Li also fought with Sun Bofu many times in Yuzhang, and the entire Jiangdong is now panicked and difficult to stabilize. Yizhou Liu Zhang, on the one hand, you have to be careful of Liu Biao's soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, you have to deal with the Xun thief land without difficulty, which is not easy. ”
Liu Bei got up, "God knows when this Dong thief will return to Guanzhong?" ”
Sima Yi heard it and was speechless......
A long battle will be like peace. For this year-long Yang War, it is now up to whom patience is better.
Outside, footsteps could be heard.
Liu Quan walked in and arched his hand: "My lord, there is a Yique guard who will send people to escort grain and grass and wait for orders outside the city." ”
"The grain and grass of Yique Pass?" Liu Bei was stunned, "Shouldn't it be sent directly to Yang, how can it be sent here?" ”
"I heard from the man who escorted the grain and grass that there were traces of thieves near Yishui and repeatedly attacked the grain road. A few days ago, the grain and grass of Dagu Pass were robbed, and Master Bu did not dare to escort him to Yang again, so he could only send it here first. ”
Liu Bei glanced at Sima Yi.
The grain road is unstable, and they also know about it. As for the so-called grain interception bandits, most of them were small groups of Guanzhong troops. It seems that the last time Dagu Guan was robbed of land and grain and grass was quite serious, otherwise he would never be so cautious.
"Zhongda, let's go over and have a look?"
Liu Bei said and stood up.
Sima Yi nodded and said, "It just so happens that I have to inspect the city defense,
Let's go with the lord. ”
Under the leadership of Liu Quan, the two went out of the government and went straight to the southeast gate of the new city, and saw a line of vehicles, including hundreds of grain trucks, lined up in turn, seeing the beginning but not the end. The one who escorted the grain and grass was a burly and strong man.
He is eight feet tall and has a broad waist and a round waist.
On the saddle hung a heavy double-edged axe, and the blood on the edge of the blade flowed, and it seemed that it had been full of blood.
"Who is you?"
Sima Yi asked in a deep voice.
The general hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "The last general, Niu Wu, will serve as the tooth keeper under the command of Master Bu, and serve the food of fate." ”
"Well, if you send this lot of grain and grass here, isn't it ...... the yang side?"
"If you go back to your lordship, the grain and grass in the yang side will only go to Lord Bao of Xuanyuan Pass now. Lord Bao ordered that both Dagu Pass and Yique Pass temporarily suspend the transportation of grain and grass, and once the road is clear and the bandits are eliminated, the transportation will be carried out again. ”
Sending grain from Xuanyuan Pass, the line from Yanshi to Beibei is relatively smooth.
Sima Yi heard something different from this sentence.
"Niu Wu, you mean, you have discovered the thief's lair?"
Niu Wu hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Don't hide it from Lord Lu, Lord Lu already has a clue, and it is said that it is hidden in Wan'an Mountain." No, when the last general set off from Yique Pass, Master Bu was preparing to join Master Lu. ”
Liu Bei suddenly asked, "Do you know who the leader of the thieves is?" ”
Niu Wu scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "The last general is a rough man, but how can he be qualified to know these things?" ”
If he said that he knew, Liu Bei and Sima Yi would definitely be suspicious.
As Niu Wu said, a tooth goalkeeper, Otani Ling and Yi Que Ling will never inform him.
"Well, send food into the city. But follow my rules here. As soon as there is news from your family, prepare to send food to Yang. ”
"Whoa!"
Niu Wu surrendered his order and drove the grain cart to the city.
walked two steps, but stopped again, and said to Liu Bei and Sima Yi: "Two adults, Lord Bu said that there may be grain and grass temporarily stored in the new city in a few days." When the time comes, I'll have to trouble the two adults, so I'll be responsible for receiving it. ”
Liu Bei waved his hand in annoyance, "I know, you can store grain and grass." ”
Niu Wu answered, took the people and left. Sima Yi also took a closer look at Niu Wu's horse, which was indeed Cao Jun's mount.
"Zhongda, what are you suspicious?"
"Hehe, it's not ...... I'm just thinking, Yique Guanbu doesn't have any friendship with us, how can he send grain and grass here for storage? ”
"Well...... this" Liu Bei thought for a while, "Now everyone is in a camp, it must be his Yique Pass, and he really can't fit it." Zhong Damo has to worry that the three passes outside Yingchuan are all Cao Xiaozi's men and horses, and there will be no difference. ”
"But ......"
Sima Yi thought for a while, "I want to go to Yique Pass to have a look." Those thieves are actually operating near Yishui, and if you don't get it, it will affect us here. In this way, I'll go with Shao first and see if I can help Bu a little? ”
Liu Bei didn't think too much about it, nodded at the moment, and agreed to Sima Yi's request.
So, Sima Yi and Gao Zhong gathered 3,000 soldiers and horses and set off for Yique Pass. Liu Bei stayed in the new city, first inspected the city defense with Liu Quan, and then ordered someone to inspect the situation in the city. In the end, he went to the granary to check it, and saw that Niu Wu and the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass had been arranged, so he returned to the mansion.
After a busy day, Liu Bei was also a little tired.
At dinner, I drank two glasses of warm wine, then collapsed on the couch, covered my head and fell asleep!
But it's a little old......
If it had been before, how could these few things have made him feel tired? And now, the body is really a little unbearable.
groggy and groggy, Liu Bei didn't sleep very peacefully.
Faintly hearing a shout, Liu Bei turned over and sat up, "Shaoxian, what happened?" ”
After the call, Liu Bei remembered that Gao Chong went to Yique Pass with Sima Yi. He stood up, drew his sake, drew his sword from his armoured rack, and walked out of the house. As soon as I walked out of the arrow, I saw half of the sky in the new city, which was red.
"Ahh
Liu Bei was taken aback and shouted loudly: "Come on, where is this water?" ”
A white-eared elite soldier stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord Qiqi, it seems that the direction of the granary is on fire, and General Liu has passed!" ”
I don't know what the reason is, Liu Bei chuckled in his heart.
"It's not good, hurry up!"
As he spoke, he walked outside the mansion, "Inform Liu Quan immediately, take care of those soldiers who send food, if there is resistance, kill them!" ”
"Whoa!"
The soldiers left in a hurry, Liu Bei got on his horse outside the house, and saw people running and shouting along the street, ready to go to fight the fire. He led a group of white-eared elite soldiers, galloped on horseback, and ran in the direction of the granary. I had only walked halfway when I suddenly heard a loud bang, followed by someone shouting loudly: "Broken city, broken city!" ”
Liu Bei's face suddenly changed greatly......
