Qin Lang walked away, the Wei army was in a mess, some had never seen blood, and when they saw the corpses all over the ground, they fainted on the spot.

Wang Ping urged the horse to rush to the front, glanced at the chaotic crowd, and shouted: "The king of Han has an order, the same clan will not kill each other, disarm and not kill, we only need food and grass, and we will not harm the innocent." ”

The Wei army had already known that the Han army would not kill prisoners, so they had already thrown down their weapons and knelt on the ground, and those messengers reacted when they heard the shouts, and they put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Wang Ping ordered people to step forward, pull away the carts and horses carrying grain and grass, collect weapons and armor, and the rest of the people, along with those Cao disciples, did not ask.

Someone wanted to make meritorious service and shouted: "General, it's all the Cao family here, why don't you arrest Luoyang?" ”

Someone else shouted: "There is also Xiahou's family." ”

"Humph!" Wang Ping turned around on the horse and said coldly: "Luoyang only accepts heroes, don't waste!" ”

Everyone was startled, looked at each other, and when they turned their heads again, they found that the Han army had pulled the grain cart away.

"Who betrayed Ben Gongzi just now, stand up!"

As soon as the Han army left, someone climbed out of the carriage and shouted loudly.

The soldiers bowed their heads, knowing that the speaker was beside them, but no one would identify them.

Someone screamed, "Betraying your master will be punished, and you will not want to live." ”

"Damn, I'm not doing it!" Suddenly, someone gritted his teeth and stood up and shouted: "Horizontal and vertical are all dead, just break up." ”

The man got up, and many people responded and shouted, and even a few people clenched their fists around the carriage and dragged the children off the car, beating them so much that they cried and shouted for their mothers.

When the rest of the children saw this, they immediately screamed in fright, and hid in the carriage and shouted, trembling and not daring to show their heads.

Seeing that the matter had come to this, the soldiers and the messengers had no choice but to rush into the car, snatch all the silk clothes they were wearing, and scatter in a hurry.

On the empty field, a group of Cao relatives cried helplessly, calling that the sky was not spiritual, and the earth should not be.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, he couldn't even distinguish the direction, and when he was in a dilemma, suddenly a patrol of soldiers arrived and sent him to Dingtao.

It turned out that Cao Zhen waited in Dingtao for several days, but did not see the grain and grass arrived, so he sent people to investigate, only to know that he was robbed by the Han army, and when he sent troops to intercept it, it was too late.

In the middle of the night, the group arrived at Dingtao, looked at the crying father and called the mother, and rushed to complain, and the children who wanted to break Qin Lang's body into ten thousand pieces, Cao Zhen vaguely guessed what happened, and asked people to take them back to the house for resettlement first.

Xiahou Ba was full of anger in the past few days, and complained to Cao Tai: "This is good, we haven't gone to rob the grain yet, Zhuge is one step ahead, and I really can't catch up with the heat when I eat." ”

Cao Tai was also anxious for Cao Zhen, and said, "Tomorrow, you and I will ask for your life together." ”

Early the next morning, Wang Ling returned to the city, and everyone came to the government office to inquire about the grain and grass of the injustice.

Wang Ling said, "The grain and grass of the Han army is indeed in the Wrong Tomb Mountain, one of the valleys, the terrain is long and narrow, surrounded by dense forests, and it is very secretive. ”

"Can you see clearly when you join the army?" Cao Zhen confirmed again.

Wang Ling nodded and said: "It's true, I went to the mountains yesterday afternoon, observed at a high place, from time to time there were vehicles in and out, a lot of corn fell on the road, hundreds of granaries in the mountains, the foundation of the Han army must be here." ”

Cao Taiyan said: "Sure enough, there is too much grain and grass to pile up in the city, so I chose it in the mountains." ”

Xiahou Ba hurriedly said: "Since the news is confirmed, we should send troops immediately, if we miss the opportunity, when the Han army attacks the city, there is no regret!" ”

Cao Zhen was also half sad and half happy in his heart at this time, happy that Zhuge Liang chose such a secret place to stock up on grain, and Xiahou Ba inadvertently found out the news, there should be no fake, but he was worried that Zhuge Liang was treacherous, so he was suspicious.

The two armies clashed, and the decision-making was all in one thought, Cao Zhen didn't know that he was decisive for the general, but all this had to be judged from the result.

If you win a big victory, you will naturally appear to be extremely wise, and if you are defeated and fall into the enemy's plan, you will be incompetent and ignorant.

Seeing that Cao Zhen was still hesitating, Xiahou Ba stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "If the general is not at ease, he only needs 3,000 elite soldiers to go to ensure that the grain and grass of the Han army will be burned." ”

"No!" Wang Ling said: "Not to mention that there is Wei Yan guarding the injustice mound, even the road along the mountain is also heavily guarded. If this plan does not work, it is enough, and if it is done, it will win, otherwise it will startle the snake and give up all the previous achievements. ”

"Oh, it seems that if you are so hesitant, how can you defeat the enemy?" Xiahou Ba was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said loudly: "In the battle of Guandu that year, the first king learned about the grain and grass of Wuchao, and he did not hesitate to take risks in person and went to burn grain to earn half of the country. ”

Cao Zhen frowned and sighed: "Zhuge uses soldiers, unpredictable, how can Yuan Benchu be comparable?" ”

Cao Tai was thinking on the side, and suddenly had an idea: "Back then, the first king attacked Wuchao, but Yuan Shao sent troops to attack my old camp, but he failed to save him, so he was defeated. Why not do the opposite: pretend not to know where the grain and grass are, attack the east and west, send troops to rob the camp first, and cover the grain robbery army. ”

Wang Ling suddenly woke up and praised: "This plan is wonderful, the general can send another army to attack the Han army camp first, Zhuge Liang will think that we have nothing to do, and we will not prevent injustice." This move can also contain the strength of the Han army, even if there is news, it is powerless to save it, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Hahaha, it's a brilliant plan!" Cao Zhen's eyes were slightly cold, and he laughed and said, "Help me achieve miracles this day!" ”

When the discussion was being made, Tanma reported urgently, Guan Yu had arrived at Dangshan, Huang Gai led the troops to attack the Liang State, and the Han army was about to attack Jiyin.

Wang Lingyan said: "Zhuge Liang has been holding his troops still, he must be waiting for the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou, without further ado, the general will send troops quickly." ”

Cao Zhen took a deep breath and ordered: "Zhongquan led 10,000 elite soldiers to the injustice mound, and Wang Senjun led 5,000 troops to follow, and the two of you will act when you see the opportunity." If the grain burning is successful, you can ambush the upper reaches of Jishui to intercept the enemy army. ”

Xiahou Ba happily accepted the order, and Wang Ling went to prepare first, this battle is not only related to the safety of Yanzhou, but also related to the Central Plains war, if you can win a big victory, you will become famous in a battle.

Cao Zhen instructed Cao Tai again: "The two of us went out of the city tonight to rob the camp, although it was to disturb the enemy, if the Han army's defense was lax, we should fight with all our might, and if we can defeat the enemy army, we can do it once and for all." ”

"The general's words are extremely true, after defending for several days, he suddenly killed, even if it was Zhuge Liang, it caught him off guard."

Cao Tai won a big victory in the camp last time and tasted the sweetness, and this time he was also eager to try it, and went back to the camp to prepare.

Everyone went to prepare, Cao Zhen took the map, looked at it carefully, and thought about whether there were any omissions in the deployment of troops before and after.

Suddenly remembered that if this battle was unfavorable, Dingtao could not hold it, and ordered someone to give Cao Tai an order again, and the defenders in the city poured out of the nest tonight and fought against the water.

When night fell, Dingtao City was nervous, the camp ordered to add food, the soldiers checked the soldiers' firearms, and they were on standby, and at the second watch, Xiahou Ba lit up the men and horses, and quietly gathered at the north gate.

Cao Zhen patted Xiahou Ba on the shoulder and said solemnly: "If this battle is won, Zhongquan will become the merit of the first king, and success or failure is all in one move, and you can't be careless." ”

Xiahou Ba hugged his fists and said: "General rest assured, if you can't win, you will not return to the city!" ”

Watching the people disappear into the night, Cao Zhen sneered with his hand: "Kong Ming, Kong Ming, the wisdom of my three brothers is not as good as that of a cultivator?" ”
