Chapter 181: Talents who take the initiative to invest

"By the way, how much food do we have?" Changtian asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Back to my lord, we still have three days to store food, and we have already sent people to buy food nearby." Li Ran said.

Changtian has the right to attack independently, and he often wanders around, so he naturally will not contact Longguan, so he has to find his own way to find food or anything.

Fortunately, as the official army of the Eastern Han Dynasty camp, it is still relatively convenient to communicate with NPCs, and the price of Changtian is also relatively high, so it doesn't take much to say, people will sell the grain here, of course, if there is no military position, it is not so simple.

Now there are no scribes in the Changtian team, and he gives all this kind of trivial work to Li Ran, and Li Ran is now equivalent to a part-time chief bookkeeper, which is the kind that Lu Bu did at the beginning.

Changtian can also use his own talents, but there are still too few talents.

The academy in Luoxia City has only been built for a year, and the transportation and ferries on both sides of the Yangtze River have only slowly developed in recent months, so there are not many students in the academy, and there is no available talent for learning, and everything needs time to accumulate.

However, just when Changtian lamented that there were too few talents under his command, his reputation played a real role for the first time, and there were talents who came to him.

Li Lin looked at the young man in front of him, he was really young, he was not even twenty years old, Li Lin still asked politely: "May I ask your Excellency's surname?" ”

The young man in front of Li Lin looked relatively ordinary, but his eyes were quite energetic, he was dressed in a Confucian soap robe that fit very well, and his demeanor was also very decent, like a person who had read poetry and books.

The young man smiled and arched his hand and said: "Back to the old man's words, in Jiang Gan in Xiajiujiang, I have long been famous in Changxian County, and I have come to defect." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Jiang Gan, who has admired the name for a long time, please come in, please come in." Although Li Lin had never heard of Jiang Gan's name, he still flattered him.

Then Li Lin introduced Jiang Gan into the mansion to entertain him, and let him wait for Changtian's triumphant return with peace of mind.

Changtian didn't know that Boss Cao's army of 830,000 was pitted in the romance, and he didn't know that Jiujiang Jiang Gan had come to defect to him, of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to dislike it, there were few people anyway, so make do with it.

After this period of independent leadership, he really understood that it was not easy to fight in ancient times, food was too important, and there was only a dead end if the military food could not keep up.

No wonder Cao Cao likes to cut off people's grain routes, this grain route is too important.

Chang Tian suddenly thought that he had to worry about the food of his eighteen thousand people for a while, and the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops of this Qiang soldier would definitely be greater than that of his own side.

It is impossible for the other party to store all the food of so many people in the camp, no one will do this kind of thing, it must be transported from somewhere else.

So cut off their food for a while?

Changtian thought so, and then he made up his mind to do it.

The current situation on the battlefield does not coincide with some of his own ideas, and it is difficult to do this kind of plain war if he wants to win a lot of feats.

After all, the previous Danyang soldiers and the White Horse Yicong were powerful, Changtian had already seen it, although the Qiang cavalry was too stupid, but it was enough to reflect the strength of these two special troops, and it was really difficult to snatch enough merit from them.

And his back hand can't play a role for the time being, he asked Wang Er to take Huangfu Song's head to Bian Zhang Han Sui, this is a great achievement, naturally I didn't say it, but I don't know where others were divided.

Cutting off the other party's grain route is something that they can do now, the other party's grain storage office does not know where it is, even if it knows, it must be heavily guarded, and it may not have an effect if it goes, but it will make the other party more vigilant, so robbing them to transport grain is a good choice, and it is impossible for the grain protection team to dispatch tens of thousands of people.

Chang ordered the fast horses to disperse to investigate, and in less than half a day, he figured out the other party's movements, and the other party was having a batch of grain trucks in transit.

In a forest, the sky was long looking at the food protection team that came from afar.

"Why are there so many people?" Changtian frowned slightly.

There were at least 25,000 people escorted by hundreds of cars.

"Lord, there are a lot of them this time, why don't we sneak attack the next one?" Wang Si suggested on the side.

"Nonsense, there are more people this time, there may not be fewer people next time, how can you be cowardly without fighting, you kid wants to be beaten with a military stick." Changtian scolded in a low voice.

Wang Si shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak again.

"My lord, they stopped, as if they had discovered an ambush." Li Ran said suddenly.

There was no accident in Changtian, he had 18,000 people together, and there were two or three thousand cavalry inside, and it was normal to be discovered.

The ambush war is not successful, and the battle is hard.

In the battle before Longguan, his soldiers didn't fight at all, and they were disturbed by those perverted Xiliang iron cavalry, and this time there was a bloody battle.

"The army listens to the order, Wen hires you to lead the headquarters to continue the ambush, see my order and then take advantage of the situation to kill, and the others set off with me." Changtian led his men and horses to the avenue and set up a military formation facing the enemy.

Changtian didn't want to really fight to the death with the other party, this kind of life-and-death battle, it makes no sense to take advantage of it.

He led most of the centaurs out of the battle, making the other party think that the ambush was out and relaxed his vigilance, and then Wen Ping found an opportunity to take advantage of the situation to kill, which was obviously more advantageous.

Changtian, who came to the middle of the road, shouted loudly to the opposite side.

"Wait for the truth, I just don't want the grain truck to die, give up the grain truck quickly, these will be left to me, Lao Jiaer and wait to go back and pull it again, I owe you a personal favor, rest assured, I promise not to chase and kill."

"you! Kill them all! The leading general on the opposite side scolded, and rushed over with his troops.

"I talk to you well, but you scold me." Changtian sighed.

"Up! Kill him! Changtian immediately gave an order.

"No!" Li Ran and Sun Daliren responded in unison.

Li Ran led the cavalry to the left, and Sun Dali led the infantry in the middle, and at the same time killed the enemy.

The soldiers on both sides fought together, but neither of them did their best according to Changtiandi's orders.

There were many people on the Qiang soldiers' side, and they slowly began to surround them, wanting to surround Sun Dali's infantry, and after eating these infantry, they were dealing with the cavalry.

Sun Dali knew the other party's intentions, he just showed weakness while starting to slowly retreat.

And Li Ran's cavalry has only been pinning down and harassing the other party on the side, and has not caused much damage to the enemy.

These actions naturally made the enemy generals look down on the two of them.

"With this bit of strength, you still learn to rob the Tao, when Lao Tzu robbed the Tao, you were still breastfeeding." The general said disdainfully.

"Press them all on me, kill them all, and the handsome man will naturally be rewarded."

Sun Dali led his troops to speed up the retreat, in fact, this kind of slow retreat in battle is easier said than done on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Sun Dali has been learning from Wen Ping during this time, and with Luo Xiajun's extremely high cohesion, he still barely managed it.

Changtian looked at Sun Dali's performance and nodded, this reckless man is also studying hard and improving, after all, the courage of a husband has its limit, even the second master and the third master have a limit, and the real famous generals are almost all very powerful characters with soldiers.

Even Lu Bu, a fierce general like Lu Bu, who is unparalleled in the world, in addition to being extremely powerful in his own right, he is also an absolute first-class horseman, there is no doubt about this.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not like Lu Bu, who has accumulated enough experience as early as Bingzhou. They followed Liu Bei for half their lives, and they really grew up in failure after failure.

Like at the beginning, when the yellow turbans were suppressed, the two of them were just too fierce themselves, and they really didn't have much experience in leading troops.

It didn't take long for Sun Dali to arrive and retreat to the place where Wenpin was ambushed.

With the wave of the Changtian Order, Wen Ping suddenly killed from the right side of the Qiang soldiers.

This made the Qiang soldiers, who had already relaxed their vigilance, suddenly panicked and chaotic.

At the same time that the Qiang soldiers were preparing to divide their troops to resist the enemy, Sun Dali in the middle and Li Ran on the left worked together to cooperate with Wen Ping to start attacking the enemy.

Under the sudden, stormy offensive of these three parties, the Qiang camp collapsed instantly.

Changtian smiled, looking at the hundreds of truckloads of grain, there is no need to worry about food during this time, he has grabbed so much at once, it is enough to eat one bowl and pour two bowls.

"Burn most of it, take the rest away." After the battle, Chang Tian ordered.
