Chapter 289: Siege
Chai Rong took people away, his luck was good, and in a short period of time, he raised enough food and grass for all the soldiers to eat for three months, but because of this, his problem also followed,
The grain and grass are indeed in hand, but how to get them back is definitely a problem, after all, these grains and grass are not a small amount, and it is extremely difficult to escort them back to Huainan.
Now that Huainan is under martial law, if the grain and grass are blatantly escorted back, Cao Jun will definitely be aware of it, but if the small-scale escort is returned, it is obviously not enough to meet the huge needs of the army.
Now that he has been out for a long time, I am afraid that the grain and grass in the army are even more stretched, so Chai Rong must not drop the chain at this time, and he must escort the grain and grass back in the shortest possible time to solve the dilemma of insufficient grain and grass in the army.
Gritting his teeth, Chai Rong decided to take a risk, he planned to go out day and night, use the night, in the dead of night to transport food, and during the day, find some more hidden places to hide, as long as you are careful, presumably Cao Jun will not be aware of it.
If you can't transport all the grain and grass back in time, whether it is General Sun Qian or the two wives, I am afraid that they will be starving ghosts.
Chai Rong escorted the grain and grass day and night out towards Sun Qian's hiding place, at first, his itinerary was quite smooth, but the more he got to Huainan, the more difficult his road became.
Cao Jun obviously guessed Sun Qianjun's move, although Cao Chun couldn't find Sun Gan's hiding place, but he knew that Sun Qian had to eat food, otherwise how could he feed his thousands of soldiers.
Now that the bandits are unable to retreat, they have no food to help, so they have to find another way. In Huainan, Cao Chun had already ordered people to control grain and grass, and it was difficult for unidentified people to buy large quantities of grain and grass, so transporting grain from outside became the only way for this gang of bandits to obtain grain and grass.
Therefore, Cao Jun investigated this quite closely. The entire Huainan is under martial law, and Cao Chun absolutely does not allow any grain and grass to flow into the mouths of the bandits.
Cao Jun's investigation is not unreasonable, this period of investigation has allowed Cao Jun to find a lot of suspicious people, but this person's mouth is quite hard, no matter how Cao Jun tortured, these people never said a word.
In this regard, Cao Chun once again realized the extraordinaryness of this gang of bandits, and replaced them with ordinary bandits. Cao Jun's torture had already made these people confess everything.
In this regard, although Cao Chun was a little helpless, he firmly believed that this gang of bandits would show their feet sooner or later, food is a sharp weapon, even if the bandits are strong in combat, but he also needs to eat food.
Sure enough, Cao Chun's estimate was not there, and the bandits finally showed their feet. Cao Chun received a secret report that a group of suspicious people were escorting a batch of grain and grass day and night.
Get the news. Cao Chun was finally excited, he had been in Huainan for so long, and Cao Chun finally had information about the whereabouts of this gang of bandits, there was no doubt that this group of people escorting grain and grass must be bandits.
Who would choose to escort grain and grass day and night, if there is not a ghost in his heart. Cao Chun really couldn't think of any possibility, now that he knew the whereabouts of the bandits, Cao Jun decided to wipe out these bandits.
For the time being, he will not choose to attack the people who escort the grain and grass, after all, he will put a long line to catch big fish. Knowing the bandits' lair, Cao Chun will surround this gang of bandits with a large army, and he will do it all, leaving no one behind.
Cao Chun ordered people to closely monitor these people who escorted grain and grass, and he ordered all the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion to be ready, he learned about the unusual things about this gang of bandits, so he definitely wouldn't underestimate this gang of bandits like he did before.
Once Lord Taiwei said that he was not wrong, he did underestimate the people of the world, regardless of whether the combat effectiveness of this gang of bandits was as strong as imagined, but looking at the commander of this gang of bandits, he could know that the bandits were really powerful.
As the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under the strong general, and a soldier with such a resourceful person obviously cannot really see him as a bandit.
After a few days of day and night, Chai Rong was finally about to arrive at Sun Gan's hiding place, but at this time, Chai Rong became cautious, and what he saw and heard along the way let Chai Rong know how closely Cao Jun had investigated.
Cao Jun's investigation was so strict, which made Chai Rong a little uneasy, because he didn't know if there was a tail behind him, if so, then he would really become a sinner through the ages.
The more critical the moment, the more sloppy it is tolerated, Chai Rong knows this truth very well, so he must not make mistakes at the last moment,
For this reason, Chai Rong escorted this grain and grass and began to circle around Sun Gan's hiding place, only in this way could he determine whether there were Cao Jun's spies behind him.
Chai Rong's approach obviously attracted Cao Chun's ridicule, for Cao Chun, the enemy's approach was like covering his ears and stealing a bell, and Cao Chun finally learned where the enemy was hiding.
With the exact location, Cao Chun naturally would not play hide and seek with this gang of bandits, he quickly mobilized all the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion, ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, and let the enemy know that the danger of Cao's army was inviolable.
However, before that, Cao Chun decided to give the enemy a shot of Ma Wei, destroy the bandits' food and grass first, and then concentrate his forces to annihilate the enemy army.
In the face of Cao Jun, who openly called for battle, Chai Rong knew that he still had the trust of the general in the end, which not only brought him a catastrophe, but also put General Sun Qian in danger.
Chai Rong was not a fool, Cao Jun was willing to launch an offensive against him, so it was obvious that they already knew where Sun Qian was hiding.
Chai Rong understands the obvious truth of casting a long line to catch a big fish, and the generals of Cao Jun naturally know that they are bait, and General Sun Qian is the big fish, and now that Cao Jun has still found a big fish, then his bait will be useless.
There was no doubt that the general of the Cao army was quite intelligent, he obviously knew that he was going around in circles, and through the trajectory of his movements, the Cao army was also clearly aware of General Sun Qian's hiding place.
I thought I was doing it very secretively, but in the end I still made a wedding dress for others, and when I think about it, the stupidest thing is myself.
Chai Rong frowned, since there is no possibility of being born, Chai Rong will naturally not die stingily, since he inadvertently betrayed the general, then use his life to repay the mistakes he made.
Pulling out the sword at his waist, Chai Rong decided to use his life to defend Liu Jun's dignity.
"Chong, let the enemy know that my Liu army has no greed for life and fear of death." Chai Rong raised the sword in his hand and rushed towards Cao Jun in the lead, and the soldiers of Liu Jun who followed behind Chai Rong did not have any complaints, they held the weapons in their hands tightly and rushed towards Cao Jun.
Although the enemy's charge was suicidal, the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion still admired the enemy army in front of them.
Such a temperament is worthy of the admiration of the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion, but for their practice of not valuing their lives, the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion are somewhat contemptuous, you know, the enemy army in front of them has no armor protection.
"Ready, put." Looking at the enemy forces approaching, Cao Chun still chose to kill these enemy troops, their courage was commendable, but they were somewhat dull.
The sharp arrows penetrated the enemy army without any defensive measures, and the soldiers of the Liu army were shot down by Qi Brush like a mustard, and seeing this scene, Chai Rong was immediately furious.
In the face of the enemy's rain of arrows, the soldiers without any defense could not rush through at all.
Is this really the case, Chai Rong secretly asked in his heart, although he did not have the ability to defeat Cao Jun, but this gap was inevitably a little too big, Cao Jun did not give himself any chance at all, only a few crossbow arrows could destroy all his soldiers.
"Give it up." Looking at the few enemy troops left, Cao Chun finally spoke out to persuade him to surrender, these enemy troops are very bloody, which makes Cao Chun can't bear to wipe them all out, if he can take these people for his own use, he will be a good hand with a little exercise,
Looking at most of the soldiers who had died of anger, Chai Rong showed a slight miserable smile, "The soldiers suffered this catastrophe because of Rong, and General Sun Qian was on the verge of a trap because of Rong, and Rong had a reason to live in the troubled times." ”
"If you want to kill, you will kill, can Rong still be afraid of you and wait." Chai Rong put away his miserable laughter, his face was full of arrogance, at this time he had completely put life and death out of the way, he only wanted to die,
Cao Chun shook his head helplessly, he was just about to order someone to shoot this person, but Cao Ang said on the side: "This person is a man, it is a pity to shoot him like this, he will be raised for a while, maybe he can die a more dignified death." ”
Hearing this, Cao Chun nodded, Cao Ang's strength is known by himself, it is difficult for ordinary generals to be his opponents, since Cao Chun wants to try it, it is not easy for him to stop it,
Although Cao Ang is now the deputy commander of the White Tiger Battalion, he will become the heir of the lord sooner or later.
Cao Ang came to Tian Song with a silver spear, carrying a silver spear, Cao Ang stood proudly, "Ang is Cao Ang, the deputy commander of the White Tiger Battalion, let Ang come to meet you today, some people in the province say that my Cao army will only bully the small with the big." ”
Chai Rong smiled arrogantly, dying in the hands of the deputy commander of the White Tiger Battalion was the best destination, he shook the iron sword in his hand tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Chai Rong, a white-eared elite soldier." ”
Cao Ang nodded, and then rushed towards Chai Rong with the silver spear, the silver spear swept, and Cao Ang came up with a riveting blow.
Chai Rong hurriedly raised his sword to defend, but he obviously muttered about Cao Ang's strength,
Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, and Cao Cao has high hopes for Cao Ang, so his strength is obviously not comparable to ordinary people.
Cao Ang took a shot, he picked out the iron sword in Chai Rong's hand with one shot, and then the silver gun did not enter Chai Rong's chest.
Chai Rong showed a slightly unwilling look, and then his eyes gradually dimmed. (To be continued......)
