Chapter 38: The Battle of Zhongli Section 2 Preparing for War
Just after his retreat was blocked by Xiao Baoyin, he rushed forward more fiercely at this time, rather than dying when he retreated, it was better to rush forward desperately at this time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Just when Xiao Baoyin thought that he would definitely be able to take him down, a group of people rushed out of the small city of Nanliang, led by Feng Daogen, the Taishou who had dealt with him for many years.
Xiao Baoyin frowned, originally just wanted to kill the young general with one shot, so that he could go to chase the Liang soldiers who stole the grain, at this time he saw Feng Daogen rushing out, and behind him, from the place where the Liang soldiers disappeared, rushed over another group of people, for the sake of the Liang army's Sima Huluo, these two roads of people and horses left and right attacked straight to him, Xiao Baoyin knew that if he wanted to kill the person in front of him at this time, he was afraid that it would be impossible, thinking of this, he had to order the troops to be collected.
Fan Jun took advantage of the fact that he ordered the troops to be withdrawn, jumped out of his encirclement, and came to Feng Taishou: "The last general, thank you Feng Taishou for sending troops to rescue." ”
"General Wei has repeatedly told me that if you are in danger, even if you fight my small city of Nanliang, I will also rescue you. Feng Daogen naturally didn't dare to forget General Wei's entrustment.
"General Fan, General Wei ordered me to come and meet you. Now there is an urgent situation in the army, and you need to return to the camp immediately. Hu Luo hurriedly shouted an order to Fan Jun.
"General Hu, I'll rush back with you immediately. Fan Jun hurriedly got on his horse and went to Wei Rui's camp with the two adults.
At this time, Wei Rui was being held tightly by Zhao Cao, and Zhao Cao, who couldn't close his mouth, had to ask this extremely smart General Wei to tell him how he got so much food.
Wei Rui had to take him to his Chinese army tent, and he saw that Zhao Cao was still holding a few ears of grain tightly in his hand, so Wei Rui stretched out his hand, and Zhao Cao obediently put the ears of grain in his hand.
Wei Rui looked at the heavy ears of grain in his hand, and only spoke for a long time: " In the early spring, I lost dozens of cities in Daliang, between these cities, even with the crops that had just been sown, were all robbed by the Wei army----, at that time I was extremely distressed, but there was no better way to take them back, after several months of rain in midsummer, I sent Fan Jun to sneak to the plain in the north of Nanliang more than a month ago, to observe the growth of this year's millet grain, the news that Fan Jun brought back, I did not expect, I didn't think that the land of millet on the plain, is actually a bumper harvest that has never been seen in ten years---- Wei Rui sighed, and Zhao Cao could hear General Wei's sigh with a sense of joy.
"At the beginning, I was also extremely depressed, how could I smuggle this large amount of grain from the strict guard of the Wei army to the army----
"Yes, General Wei, when I first saw this grain, I was also very surprised in my heart, how did I be able to transport a large amount of grain and grass back in such a short time? General Wei, tell me quickly, my heart is about to jump out. ”
Wei Rui laughed, the grain and grass supervisor in front of him was so quick-tempered, his eyes were wide at this time, and he couldn't wait to pull the words out of his stomach.
"Together with Fan Jun, we have thought of a lot of ways to smuggle grain and grass, and there are several steps in this, and none of them can be completed without any of them----
"Which steps?" Zhao Cao asked.
"First of all, we must determine the tools for good luck with food, at first we want to use carriages, but carriages to use horses to pull, these horses are not our soldiers, do not let them make a sound, if they use a carriage to steal grain, it is possible that the first time will be discovered by those Wei army, so want to go to the second time, the third time, I am afraid that it will be more difficult---- if you use the wooden ox flowing horse invented by Mr. Zhuge Kongming, it is a very good idea, they do not use horses, and the speed of movement in the process of transporting grain is also fast, but this wooden ox flowing horse has a great disadvantage, that is, the sound is too loud, our army is going to steal grain, that night is quiet, and immediately revealed the intention, I was afraid that I wanted to succeed again, but it was still not fruitful---- so I remembered to use a wheelbarrow, which was not loud, and the body was also light, so that the soldiers could grasp it----"
Zhao Cao suddenly laughed: "General Wei, you are really a god, I have been transporting grain and grass for so many years, and I have never thought of using a wheelbarrow, but you can do it, when I thought about stealing grain, I thought of it, it is indeed a god man." ”
Wei Rui also smiled: "The god man can't say, but after thinking about the tool for transporting grain, there is another tricky matter: when stealing grain, do you use the sickle commonly used by farmers, or do you use other tools?"
"It's the fastest with a scythe. Zhao Cao gave an idea on the side.
"At first, we also used the sickle, but in the end, the crux of the problem came back to the exposure--- if the crops were harvested with the sickle, the harvested crops would immediately show abnormalities, and the enemy would still quickly notice ----."
"General Wei, think about it, why is there so much trouble ---- stealing food?" Zhao Cao also scratched his head after hearing this, this is indeed a foolproof way to do it on other people's territory.
"I'm not the only smart person in this world, and Fan Jun is one of the few smart people I've ever seen. Wei Rui sighed lightly, "He actually remembered to use scissors." ”
"Scissors, scissors?" Zhao Cao opened his mouth wide.
Wei Rui remembered that when he first heard the word scissors come out of Fan Jun's mouth, he was also as surprised as Zhao Cao, he really admired and loved Fan Jun's cleverness.
"Of course, scissors are the best tools, use scissors to cut the ears of grain, the stalks are still in the field, from a distance you only notice something unusual, if you don't look closer, you won't know that the grain has been harvested. Alas---- I didn't think that the most difficult thing in stealing grain was solved by Fan Jun, and the rest of the thing was to send people to protect them, and the one who was the one who did not let it go was Nanliang Taishou Feng Daogen, in terms of this kind of fighting and desperate strength, that Chang Yizhi was slightly inferior to him---- and after we were ready for all aspects of things, we started to act. ”
"That Yuanying and them, aren't they all in the dark by us?" Zhao Cao was really happy when he thought about it, "Then the emperor didn't give us grain and grass, so we found a way to conjure it up ourselves, hahahaha---- General Wei, if you talk about this merit, then Fan Jun is really the first credit." ”
Wei Rui nodded and said: "Yes, this kid is extremely smart, the emperor asked us to take down the Wei soldiers under Zhongli City within three months some time ago, and now it is still a month." ”
"Hmph, the emperor really doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, how can we drive away this Wei army whenever we want?" Zhao Cao was angry when he thought of this emperor.
Wei Rui smiled slightly: "Now it seems that I really want them to leave whenever they want." ”
"What does General Wei mean by this?" Zhao Cao asked puzzled.
Wei Rui was just about to open his mouth to answer his question, when Fan Jun lifted the curtain and walked in: "Father-in-law, I'm back." ”
Zhao Cao jumped up suddenly, ran forward and hugged Fan Jun, and shouted: "Fan Jun, I, Zhao Cao, want to thank you very much." ”
Fan Jun was stunned, he didn't expect that he would be hugged by a big man as soon as he entered the tent, and Zhao Cao's arm strength was extremely strong, and he couldn't break free if he wanted to.
"Lord Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Fan Jun looked at Zhao Cao helplessly, and then looked at Wei Rui, who was smiling on the side.
"Lord Zhao, there are still a lot of things waiting for you to do, you better let go of Fan Jun first. Wei Rui reminded Zhao Cao softly.
Zhao Cao slowly let go of Fan Jun, he suddenly remembered that he had just shouted Fan Jun's name in such a loud voice, as if he was afraid that something would be wrong, so he quietly asked Wei Rui: "General Wei, I am so loud, then the prince will not hear my voice." ”
Wei Rui smiled and didn't answer, just motioned for him to sit down: "Lord Zhao, Huaiwen still wants to trouble your lord, and then help me transport some weapons." ”
"Okay, that's fine. General Wei, what do you want?" Zhao Cao hurriedly asked.
"There are as many halberds and halberds as there are, and the same is true for bows and arrows, as well as the armor, shields, and many weapons and equipment needed by the soldiers for melee combat, leaving what General Cao needs, and the others must be shipped to me immediately. ”
"The subordinate obeys!"
"There's one more extremely important thing, and after you bring these things here, I will give you an extremely important task. Wei Rui commanded.
"General Wei, in order to win the war, I will do whatever you want me to do. As soon as Zhao Cao thought that there would be a battle to fight soon, he began to gear up and get excited.
"And this letter, be sure to hand it over to General Cao Jingzong in person. Wei Rui handed the letter to Zhao Cao, and said with a serious face, "Be more careful along the way, don't make mistakes!"
"Is there anything else the general needs to do?" Zhao Cao asked again.
"These things are enough for Lord Zhao to be busy for a while, and the others are not needed for the time being. Wei Rui said gratefully.
"Then I'll take my leave, General Wei, if we win the battle, you have to lend me this kid a few days. Zhao Cao pointed at Fan Jun.
"Oh?" Wei Rui was surprised, "what do you want him for?"
"I'm going to drink with him for three days and three nights. ”
Before Zhao Cao's words fell, Wei Rui couldn't help laughing, and he hurriedly nodded and agreed: "This will not be a problem, you can take him away at that time, and drink as much as you want." ”
Fan Jun couldn't imagine that he had thought about it for so long, and he actually put forward such a condition, and he couldn't help but laugh.
The three of them laughed and laughed without scruples in the big tent, but Lu Seng Zhen ran to Xiao Hong's big tent without connecting his feet: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang----"
That Xiao Hong's mood has just stabilized these days, a few days ago because of a holy decree of the imperial brother, he almost scared his soul away, Xiao Yan was angry and wanted to return to the capital by himself, if it was before, he would like to go back immediately, but now he knows that he can't go, he hasn't waited for Xiao Zong's reply, if he returns to the capital at this time, then his foreign aid is not in place, and it is even more slim to succeed.
"Shouting and screaming, what kind of system is it?" Xiao Hong looked at Lu Seng Zhen dissatisfied.
"Lord Wang--- Fan, Fan Jun, he is not dead!" Lu Seng Zhen stammered.
"What did you say?" Xiao Hong was shocked when he heard this.
"He, he's still alive and well, I heard it with my own ears, that Zhao Cao called his name, in Wei Rui's big tent, that Fan Jun actually called General Wei his father-in-law----" Lu Seng Zhen hurriedly replied.
"How did he survive?" Xiao Hong asked sharply.
"The last general---- the last general does not know, the last general only knows that this person--- this person is the one who stopped you and me on that day--- stopped. ”
After Xiao Hong heard this, he was cold from head to foot, and in the pouring rain that day, the young general who almost stuck the sword into his chest turned out ----to be him!
"Fan Jun must die!" Xiao Hong had a big head as soon as he thought of this person, "You send someone to kill him immediately." ”
"----Yes, Lord Wang!" Lu Seng Zhen agreed tremblingly.
