Wei Yan is gone after all.

As for whether he was willing to gamble and lose, or was forced away by Cao Jun, it is unknown.

It was announced that he had received Zhuge Liang's order to go back to protect the grain road and prevent Wei Jun's dogs from jumping over the wall and intercepting grain in the rear.

Only 10,000 cavalry from the headquarters were taken.

As the Shu army marched forward, the entire supply line became longer and longer.

Food routes and supply lines are also becoming increasingly vulnerable.

The statement of protecting the grain road is also reasonable, and it did not cause too many waves within the Shu army.

After Cao Jun broke Cao Zhen's Longxi camp and Chen Cang, it is said that there was already a horse in front of him, but when he was counting the military supplies, he suddenly found that the grain and grass that should have arrived a week ago had not come until now.

had to let the whole army stay in place at a high speed, and let go of the opportunity to move forward.

Generally speaking, the consumption of grain and grass in wartime is more, 1.5 times that of peacetime.

Even if the troops are not moved, the current grain and grass can only last for about 10 days.

If a few days pass, the food and grass are still not available, and the troops can only be withdrawn with regret.

In order to maintain the morale of the army, this secret is only known to Cao Jun and Jiang Wei.

"Deputy Governor, the last general will send someone to urge the grain and grass."

Jiang Wei asked Cao Jun for his life.

Cao Jun shook his head and sighed, "It's too late." ”

He had a plan in mind.

After Zhuge Liang sat in Hanzhong, he actively dredged the grain road, and the person who prepared the grain and grass and was responsible for the transportation was still the previous Shangshu Ling Li Yanzai.

In addition, the Wei army was defeated at this time, and before Sima Yi arrived at the front line, the Wei army was already like a group of lost dogs, and there was no intention of sending people to harass the grain road behind the Shu army.

Then the cause could only be a road collapse or a mistake by the grain carrier.

If the trajectory of history remains unchanged.

In charge of this grain and grass escort was Li Yan's nephew Gou An.

In the original work, this guy was greedy for a cup and misbehaved, and the grain and grass arrived fifteen days late.

In other words, Cao Jun is standing still at the moment, and the grain and grass should arrive 2-3 days before the grain is cut off.

This secret is naturally hidden deep in his heart and will not be said.

If you don't do anything at this time, it's not appropriate.

That's it!

"Jiang Wei, you can lead a team of cavalry, drive back along the road you came, and if you find a food transport team, quickly escort it to the barracks."

"No!"

Six or seven days later, Jiang Wei angrily carried a young man's collar into the camp.

Cao Jun immediately raised his account.

At the same time, the news of the imminent arrival of grain and grass was announced.

Anyway, he doesn't plan to carry this pot.

Only then did the generals understand why when they should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue, Cao Jun just retreated the whole army in the camp, giving up the great opportunity to make contributions in vain.

It turned out that it was caused by the delay in the arrival of grain and grass.

Suddenly, one by one, they glanced angrily at the comer.

When the young man entered the tent, he still had a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and his face was ruddy and smelly of wine.

There were still a few red handprints on his face, and he didn't know if Jiang Wei secretly rewarded him or if he fell on his own.

Cao Jun didn't say anything.

just sat behind the desk and stared at the visitor without saying a word.

It took a while for the young man to figure out what this place was.

Suddenly, there was a hint of panic in his expression, and half of his alcohol was gone.

He respectfully saluted Cao Jun, "In Xia Gou'an, I am responsible for escorting grain and grass under the order of Shang Shu...... Hiccup, due to many landslides along the road, the deadline was delayed, and I hope the general will forgive me. ”

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed crookedly.

Cao Jun suddenly slapped the desk and shouted: "Gou An, let me ask you, why did the grain and grass that should have arrived ten days ago only arrive today?" Originally, our army was supposed to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but because of the grain and grass, we missed a great opportunity, can you be guilty? ”

Jiang Wei also made up a knife on the side, "According to the law established by the prime minister, the military rations will be transported, and those who are three days late will be beheaded immediately." ”

If you are three days late, you will be beheaded.

He was more than ten days late, isn't his life in danger?

Gou An was frightened for a while, and the wine woke up a little more.

He hurriedly quibbled: "General, I have been transporting grain in Gou'an, the fastest, and I have never been late, this time I really encountered a landslide, please forgive me!" ”

Cao Jun didn't talk to him either, and directly ordered: "Pull it down!" ”

Two personal soldiers immediately came in outside the tent, dragging Gou An and walking out.

Gou An was so frightened that his face was colorless, and he kicked his legs frantically, struggling desperately.

I didn't care about the hole card in my hand, and turned it over directly.

"General, I am Li Yan's nephew (nephew), for my uncle's sake, please be lenient!"

When Gou An said Li Yan's name, all the generals in the big tent were also shocked.

That Li Yan and Zhuge Liang are both Liu Bei's entrusted ministers, and they belong to the number two people in Shu except Zhuge Liang.

It is now the Great Han Shangshu Order.

Since the Northern Expedition, he has been responsible for supervising grain and grass in the rear and escorting it.

Such a character has to be cautious.

Immediately, someone pleaded for Gou An and said: "Deputy Governor, let him commit his first offense, he can be fined forty military sticks, and he will be punished slightly." ”

The established historical trajectory is the biggest reliance in Cao Jun's hands at present.

He knew and wouldn't tell.

Since Zhuge Liang rewarded him with 80 military sticks, then Xiao followed Cao Gui, and he couldn't miss a stick, and he gave it all in full.

"Come on, pull it down, reward him with 80 military sticks, and I will write to the prime minister and point out the original song."

However, he said that after Gou An was beaten with 80 military sticks, he recuperated in the barracks for a few days and was gradually able to move, so he was urged to set off.

There is no waste in the barracks.

The whole guy was lying on the carriage, and as soon as he bumped on the path, a pain came from his buttocks.

Immediately gritted his teeth and scolded, "What kind of bullshit General Cao, it is clearly a spy of the Wei army, even I dare to fight, if my uncle finds out, he will definitely look good." ”

On the second day after the return of the Gou An grain transport team, it was suddenly intercepted by a sentry of the Wei army, and the people and vehicles were escorted to the Wei army camp.

It turned out that Sima Yi had received the holy decree as early as four or five days ago, and secretly returned to the Longxi camp to preside over the comprehensive anti-Shu work.

He stared at Gou An under the desk and shouted, "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?" ”

Gou An kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy, "The villain is naturally willing to live!" ”

"Well, who are you, why did you come out of the Shu army camp, report truthfully, if there is a trace of concealment, be careful of the dog's head."

Gou An originally had a grudge against Cao Jun, and he betrayed him at the moment, and he didn't have any psychological burden.

"The villain Gou An, who is responsible for escorting grain and grass, was only more than ten days late, and he was beaten 80 military sticks by that Cao Jun, and I was killed to death."

Hiss......

Gou An's fluttering words.

But it made the other people in the Wei army's big tent look at each other.

Since ancient times, marching and transporting grain has been a major event.

Not a day late.

This guy is more than ten days late, can he still save the dog's life?

There's something going on here!

"Bold fanatics, dare to deceive with lies in front of the governor of Pontus, come on! Pull it out and cut it. ”

Gou Ancai was frightened once in the Shu army camp, and his injuries were not healed, so how could he still bear it.

Suddenly, the bamboo tube poured beans and cried, "General, I really didn't lie, I am Li Yan's nephew, and it was my uncle's name that played a role in escaping my life." ”

Sima Yi suddenly secretly exchanged a look with the generals in the camp, and said secretly in his heart: "I see! ”

In this way, it makes sense.

Sima Yi's eyes rolled, and a poisonous plan emerged from his heart.

That Zhuge Liang tried against him several times, almost killing him, this is a great opportunity, how can there be any reason not to return it.

Now that Zhuge Liang is sitting in Hanzhong, not on the front line, the deputy governor of the Shu army is Cao Jun, and the foundation is shallower.

Thinking of this, Sima Yi slapped the desk and shouted: "Gou An, if there is a matter, you can handle it well, not only can you live, but also have a great reward......

After Gou An was captured by Sima Yi's sentry and returned to the camp, he was delayed for a few more days and set out on the return journey again.

But at this moment, in his arms, there is one more thing.

He also secretly read the words in the cloth, although he couldn't recognize them completely, but the general meaning was to guess and know a rough idea.

Since Cao Jun killed the killer, he almost lost his life.

Don't retaliate back?

Is it a great husband?

Gou An got Sima Yi's reward and promise, and he was able to take revenge by the way, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

After seven or eight days of walking like this, he was suddenly discovered by the sentinels of Wei Yan's department and brought him back to the camp of Wei Yan's department.

Wei Yan sat behind the desk with a dark face, and when he saw this guy coming in, his eyes dodged for a while, and he was not a good bird at first glance.

Suddenly, he slapped the desk, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Recruited from the truth? Otherwise, it will make your ass bloom. ”

As soon as Gou An touched his buttocks, he suddenly jumped up in fright.

The injuries above are only half healed, and now they still hurt faintly from time to time, where can they still get military sticks?

"General, villain Gou An, just a grain transport officer."

"Transporting grain?"

Wei Yan glanced him up and down, and saw him lying crookedly on the ground, covering his buttocks with one hand and pressing the other on his chest, his eyes were erratic, and he looked very suspicious.

Wei Yanjun is an old fritter, how can he be so easy to deceive?

"Come on, clean this guy for me, and search it well."

A moment later, a piece of cloth arrived in Wei Yan's hand.

He opened it and looked at it, and was so shocked that he almost jumped.

It turned out that this cloth was a handwritten letter from Sima Yi to Cao Jun, and he made an agreement in it to be bounded by the Shu army along the Weishui River and not to invade each other.

You must know that Cao Jun is only the deputy governor of the Northern Expedition, how can he have the right to sign this agreement with Sima Yi?

Does the Prime Minister know?

Does Your Majesty know?

If it was secretly signed with Sima Yi, then Wei Yan would have to doubt Cao Jun's intentions.

Could it be that this guy wants to support his own troops in front and rebel?

Wei Yan secretly suppressed the surprise and doubts in his heart, and then fell his gaze back on Gou An.

"Why is this epistle with you? If you don't tell the truth, you will be beaten to death with a stick! ”

"General, the villain Gou An, is Li Yan's nephew, was ordered to escort military rations for the front army, on the way back, passing by a small shop, found two Wei soldiers secretly talking, the villain asked the Wei pawn to be killed, and found this letter from them......"

Wei Yan was still not at ease, so he asked people to pull out and beat Na Gou An with 40 military sticks, and the words he got were the same as before, so he was relieved.

It seems that this epistle is eighty percent true!

As for Gou An's hole card - his uncle Li Yan, it is not easy to use it here in Wei Yan.

Wei Yan also followed the Conglong faction from Jingzhou all the way to Shuzhong, and his qualifications were older than Li Yan, so he didn't like him.

After he asked about the inside information, he asked Gou An and the convoy to be directly detained.

It's better to stay at the critical moment and confront it!

I thought about it carefully in my heart, but I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Now Cao Jun and him are already on the same page.

There is no Cao Jun with him, and there is Cao Jun without him.

Since the other party's handle has fallen into his hands this time, how can he maximize his benefits?

If this handwritten book is handed over to Zhuge Liang, it will not be said to delay time, and it is not in his best interests.

"If I personally lead the army to take down that Cao Jun directly on the front line and smash his conspiracy, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"
