Chapter 37: Burning Grain

"Although we are strong, but Cao Cao's army is not bad, moreover, Cao Cao also has an army of five million in Hanoi, and today's Jiangdong Army is really a little vulnerable compared to Cao's army, and if we fight Cao Cao hard, we will definitely lose, and may even lose our lives!" Zhuge Liang explained.

"I see! So what do we do? Sun Qian asked.

"Since Cao Cao has sent troops here, presumably there must be a large amount of grain and grass in his military camp, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to plunder Cao Cao's grain and grass!" Zhuge Liang said.

"What? Looting grain and grass? This.......... Isn't this looking for death? Sun Gan's face changed, and he said dissatisfiedly.

"Huh! We can use this opportunity to plunder the grain and grass to strengthen our army! Zhuge Liang sneered: "Cao Cao has now sent troops to attack our army, if we don't take this opportunity to fight back, wouldn't it be too cowardly?" ”

Sun Qian and the others felt justified when they thought about it, and immediately agreed with Zhuge Liang's idea.

"Big brother, I also think this method is feasible, although Cao Cao sent troops to attack our army, our army cannot show weakness, we must fight back and seize the grain and grass of Cao Cao's army!" Zhang Fei shouted loudly.

Liu Bei also felt that this method was very good, and he nodded and said, "Okay!" If we can snatch the grain and grass of Cao Cao's army, the strength of our army will be even more vigorous, and we will have the qualifications to confront Cao Cao! ”

Subsequently, Zhuge Liang and others began to discuss specific action plans.

After Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei discussed for a long time, they finally formulated a counterattack plan and began to arrange and prepare for action.

Liu Bei sent 3,000 cavalry to the Cao army camp, intending to attack the Cao army camp, in order to ensure the smooth completion of this operation, Liu Bei also specially sent Zhang Fei to lead 3,000 light cavalry to follow Zhang Liao to attack the Cao army camp.

As soon as they left the city gate, they found that Cao Cao's camp was full of Cao Cao's camp in all directions.

In the manager's tent, Cao Xuan looked at the sand table and looked at everything.

"Now that the enemy is in the North Sea, I think they will definitely not be able to reach for reinforcements for a while, and in the next few days, you will need to send some more scouts to find out their news." Xu Shu said.

"I'll take care of this!" Xu Chu said confidently that this kind of thing is really simple for him, but in order not to arouse Zhuge Liang's suspicion, he can only send his cronies to go.

"Hmmm! It's been a hard time, and when things go well, there will be a reward! Cao Xuan said.

"Thank you, Fourth Prince!"

Xu Chu was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him.

"Haha!"

Cao Xuan saw Xu Chu's joyful appearance, and said with a smile: "Although the general can do it with confidence, as long as this matter is successful, I will not treat the general badly!" ”

When Xu Chu heard this, he was even more excited.

"Good! In that case, I'll go down and get ready! Xu Chu clenched his fists and said.

"Go ahead!" Cao Xuan waved his hand and said.

After Xu Chu left, Xu Shu and Sima Yi also began to discuss the plan of how to exterminate the Shu army.

"Zhongda, do you have any good ideas?" Xu Shu turned to Sima Yi and said.

"According to my opinion, it is better to take advantage of the weakness of Liu Bei's army to launch an attack directly, and now is the best time." Sima Yi said.

"Not bad! This time, Liu Bei's army was ambushed by Cao Cao's army, and its morale was greatly reduced, if we take the opportunity to attack, we will definitely be able to win Liu Bei! Xu Shu said.

"Then I'll attack according to the two of you!" Cao Xuan also agreed.

"Good!" Xu Shu and Sima Yi said at the same time.

Afterwards, Xu Shu and Sima Yi discussed the detailed attack plan again, and then dispersed.

Cao Xuan was in the camp, drinking wine and observing the map, his face full of solemnity.

Because he was very worried that if Liu Bei was eliminated now, would there be a big problem.

After all, the four emperors were also warning themselves that it was best not to eliminate Liu Bei's forces too early.

Between Thoughts......

"Report!"

Suddenly, a soldier rushed into the tent, fell to his knees, and reported to Cao Xuan.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan's eyebrows furrowed, and he said, "What's so flustered?" ”

The soldier raised his head and glanced at Cao Xuan, before he said in a slur manner: "Fourth son, there is a fire in the place where the grain is stored in the rear!" ”

"Hehe, sure enough, it's here."

Cao Xuan had expected all this early, so he wasn't too surprised.

Moreover, the grain and grass have already been transported elsewhere by Cao Xuan, and they want to burn the company camp, which is ridiculous and ridiculous.

After hearing the news, Cao Xuan felt a little happy in his heart, because he knew that once his grain and grass were destroyed, the consequences would be very serious.

However, in fact, the grain and grass are still there, which can also confuse Zhuge Liang.

"Command all armies, get ready for battle!" Cao Xuan shouted.

"No!" When the soldier heard this, he immediately withdrew.

Soon, the generals got the news that the grain and grass were burned.

"What? Grain and grass burned? ”

"Damn, what the hell are these people doing? Food is an important substance, once the grain and grass are burned, what will happen to the logistics supply? ”

"What a good thing that is! We have suffered a lot this time! ”

“.......”

All the generals were very anxious, because they all knew very well that once the grain and grass were burned, they would be greatly damaged this time.

"General! Now that our army has not much food, if we continue to spend our troops to defend the city, our army will easily be wiped out, so it is better to retreat temporarily and fight again after raising food and grass. A senior general suggested.

"No! Now that our army has little food and grass left, if we retreat, the consequences will be very dangerous! A lieutenant general said.

At this time, a young general stood up and said, "Fourth son, there is not much grain and grass left now, but if you don't build fortifications in time, there will be endless troubles!" ”

Cao Xuan smiled: "You can rest assured that you will fight, I will take care of the logistics, you can rest assured!" ”

"Alright then!"

Although these generals still wanted to argue, they had no choice but to compromise when they saw that Cao Xuan had spoken.

"Good! Since no one has any other opinions, then I will lead an army of 50,000 to attack the North Sea in this attack. Cao Xuan volunteered.

"Fourth son, don't do it!"

"Fourth son, if something happens to you, I can't afford it!"

"Fourth son, don't do it!"

The generals stopped one after another.

At this time, Sima Yi stepped forward and said, "Fourth Prince, this mission to attack Beihai is still up to me!" ”

"Oh? Why you? Cao Cao was surprised.

"Fourth prince, now that the Shu army has been defeated and morale is low, if you rashly attack Beihai, if you encounter a desperate counterattack, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and walk around!" Sima Yi comforted.
