Chapter 52 Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven
At this moment, Lu Meng was unbelievable, he really couldn't think of anyone who could mess with himself.
On the territory of Jiangdong, there are still people who dare to steal his battalion, and there is only this Cao Ang on the other side.
"Ask again, what's going on!"
"General, there is a banner over there saying that someone has gone to burn our grain and grass......
Lu Meng fell to the deck in an instant, his mood was very bad, it's over, I'm afraid this is a trick!
But what kind of plan did he fall into, he couldn't think for a while, the direction of the camp was already in flames, and it was probably useless to go back at this time, he was thinking quickly.
The most likely thing to cause all this is this Cao Ang on the river!
But he couldn't believe that Cao Cao's eldest son was so powerful that he could trick him out!
You must know that the news in Cao Ang's army was sent by Zhou Yu, and it was obviously reliable news from Jiangdong.
If Cao Ang can even calculate this, then it is very likely that he even found out the details in his own army and used them, which is what a high-IQ general can think of.
Thinking of this, Lu Meng suddenly stood up, and the soldier next to him asked, "General, do you want to return to help immediately?" ”
"No, tell the camp to hide from the edge, and if they want to burn it, just burn it!"
"General!"
"That's it, let's raise the flag, it's too late for us to go back now, but the Metropolitan Governor won't let us go hungry."
"No!"
Lu Meng knew in his heart that if the grain and grass were gone, they would not be able to hold on, but these 100,000 people hoarded here in Dongwu were like a sharp edge on their backs, and they couldn't sleep anyway.
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhou Yu to give up this place, and the grain and grass will still be sent.
After giving orders to the soldiers, Lü Meng walked to the bow of the ship and shouted to Cao Ang's pass: "Cao Ang, is this your strategy?" ”
"I can't talk about strategy, but I can defeat you, and it's a credit to some extent."
"Victory? Hehe, Cao Ang, you and I haven't really clashed, how can we win? ”
"Anyway, you were driven away by me, isn't this a victory?"
"Joke, if you burn it, you will burn it, this is the realm of Dongwu, and you want to force me away!"
Cao Ang on the opposite boat was very annoying, couldn't catch up, and spoke angrily, but Lu Meng just couldn't do anything about him.
Cao Ang began to laugh evilly again: "Hahaha...... Ziming, you're wishful thinking, what will be the impact of no food and grass, can you not know, maybe you can't beat my four boats! ”
As he spoke, Cao Ang waved his hand to the sailors on the ship, obviously this was a routine that had been prepared for a long time.
In an instant, the shipwrights and soldiers on Cao Ang's side all shouted in unison.
"The grain and grass of the Eastern Wu Army are burned, and they won't be able to support it for long!"
"The grain and grass of the Eastern Wu Army are burned!"
"General Zhonglang is mighty, and he has sent someone to burn their grain and grass!"
Suddenly, the morale of Cao Ang's side was greatly boosted, as if they had taken the advantage.
It was indeed an advantage, and this shouting had an immediate effect, and several of Lu Meng's boats stopped pursuing.
At this time, Lu Meng knew that it was too difficult to intercept Cao Ang, and there was no way to disperse the troops in this case.
"Withdraw, all fleets will come back immediately!"
Unable to care about anything else, Lu Mengde immediately took the elite back to rescue his camp.
So at this time, he won't delay with Cao Ang for too long, no matter what Cao Ang says, he has to go back and take a look.
Cao Ang immediately ordered the four boats to stop, but did not keep up with Lü Meng's fleet, and he did not have enough men on board.
"Let's go back too!"
Compared with Lu Meng, Cao Ang didn't need to chase, his four boats couldn't do anything at all.
Cheng Yu knew Cao Ang's general plan, and he didn't say a word at this time, he knew that Cao Ang's real purpose was grain and grass.
It is impossible to count on this sneak attack, it is impossible to steal it at all, then...... What Cao Ang is counting on is Zhou Yu's support for Chibi!
The eldest prince's plan was much more complicated, and Cheng Yu was shocked by such a huge strategy.
"Sir, next, it's up to Wen Ping."
"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, I can't get everything."
"Now all my ideas must be implemented by good generals, and I hope that General Wenpin can achieve results."
Now, Lü Meng's troops are more urgent than Cao Ang's side, as long as Cai Mao is burned clean, they will either retreat immediately, or the rear will have to move grain and grass in a more timely manner.
Cao Ang's train of thought seems to be fine, and how well it is executed depends entirely on the will of God.
……
The confrontation on the river is just a show, and the real action is Cai Mao's troops.
Cai Mao led a few thousand people to raid Lü Meng's camp, and this time it was a great success, and the people that Lü Meng kept to guard the camp were not elite at all.
In addition, Lu Meng himself was not in the battalion, so the troops guarding were completely demoralized.
The camp was easily broken through by Cai Mao, and they didn't even expect someone to come to raid like this, so they were driven straight into by Cai Mao.
Cai Mao didn't entangle with them much, and after some elite soldiers rushed into the camp, they went straight to the grain and grass, and used the ignition materials that had been prepared long ago to directly ignite the grain and grass.
This time it was burned clean, Cai Mao's troops were indeed neat, after all, they were the elite who had guarded Jingzhou for many years.
As soon as the blow was successful, Cai Mao immediately retreated with someone.
When Lu Meng returned, all he was left behind was a ruin, and the flames that had not been completely extinguished.
Lu Meng rushed back to the camp, looking at the mess and very remorseful, and the guards he left behind were also caught off guard.
"General, I never thought that those Jingzhou soldiers would raid at this time......"
"How about the grain and grass, how much is left?"
"Grain and grass...... General, I'm afraid we have to report to the Governor of Dadu quickly, and ask him to send some grain and grass over immediately, otherwise it will ......"
"What!"
Cai Mao actually burned so clean, now it's okay, he is more anxious than Cao Ang.
Cao Ang can hold out for a few days, and his side has to retreat immediately, or let Zhou Yu urgently transport grain and grass over.
That Cao Zixuan, it's not simple......
Cao Cao is difficult to deal with, he knows that the several beautiful battles fought in the Central Plains are famous all over the world, and Lu Meng of course knows that Cao Cao is wise and decisive, but he didn't expect Cao Cao's son to be so clever.
"How many people are there from the Jingzhou Water Army?"
"About ...... There are thousands, and the subordinates have not seen it clearly, they are all Cai Mao's troops. ”
"You...... If you can't defend the camp, what a crime! ”
"The general is angry, it is the incompetence of his subordinates, but the top priority is how to solve the matter of grain and grass!"
Of course Lu Meng knew, but it was obviously not possible to go back like this, and it would be embarrassing for people to tell Zhou Yu to transport more grain and grass.
Anyway, if he fights like this, he is not at the level of the main general, and he was completely blown up by Cao Ang.
"I will solve the matter of grain and grass, you let your subordinates repair the camp, and you can't be negligent!"
"Whoa!"
It was also very important to ask Zhou Yu for help, and Lu Meng decided to send his cronies over and no longer trust this group of miscellaneous troops.
Originally, this group of ragtag troops was just a number of people, and they couldn't have too much hope.
