Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 280 Guan Yu defrauds Zhuo County.

When marching and fighting, the most important thing in everything is to plan first and then move.Since Shan Fu and Liu Bei made an appointment in February, Shan Fu is not idle at home with nothing to do.He is carefully studying the current situation and studying where to get the most benefits.

Moving Zhuo County was not a sudden whim, it was the best choice that Shan Fu had carefully planned.

Seven days later, on a mountain road not far from Xiaopei.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were escorting the grain and grass, followed by three thousand elite soldiers disguised as miners.

Guan Yu's team, together with the soldiers escorting food and grass, totaled almost 4000 people.These 800 people are quite a lot, and the Cao army in the entire Zhuo County now has no more than [-] people.Zhuo County is guarded by [-] Cao troops, and the rest of the counties have only [-] people.

As long as Guan Yu's 5000 people can deceive the city gate of Zhuo County, then taking Zhuo County will be a matter of pinching snails with three fingers, and it will be sure.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the former army, and a hundred miles behind them is Liu Bei's large army.Once the two of them captured Zhuojun, Liu Bei's army would be able to rush in immediately.

This time Liu Bei could be regarded as the best of the best. Beihai County only left five thousand soldiers, Mi Zhu and Sun Qian were in charge of the house, and he brought out all the rest.

Liu Bei sent troops this time by borrowing Yuan Shao's territory.Yuan Shao had prepared documents for Liu Bei to guide him in advance, and the road was unimpeded.

Guan Yu's former army brushed over the mountains [-] miles outside Xiaopei City, and stopped about [-] miles away from Zhuojun.

"Change the flag." Guan Yu waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to replace all the team's flags with Li Chen's.

At this time, Yuan Shao's territory has been left, and this is the junction of Li Chen's and Cao Cao's territories.At this time, Liu Bei's banner can no longer be used.

After the soldiers received Guan Yu's order, they immediately replaced the original flags and hung up new ones. Liu Bei's flags were all burned on the spot.

After changing the flag, Guan Yu led the soldiers to escort the food and continued towards Zhuo County.When approaching Zhuo County, I could occasionally encounter Cao Jun's sentry posts, but seeing that they were flying the banner of Li Chen, and the escorts were all grain and miners, after a few simple inquiries, they went smoothly let go.

In fact, this is not Cao Jun relaxing his vigilance.The main reason is that Cao Cao is now fighting on the third front, and there is a huge demand for food and grass.Therefore, these days, Xuzhou's grain transportation team often takes this route.What's more, it just so happened that Guan Sheng escorted the food last time.

This time, when Cao Jun sentry saw Guan Yu, he thought Guan Yu was Guan Sheng.Both Guan Yu and Guan Sheng have red faces, long beards, and hold Qinglong Yanyue Dao.You are not close relatives of these two people, so you can't tell the difference at all.

Guan Sheng is a general. How dare the sentry on this road stare at him all the time. Last time he took a cursory look, and this time he took a cursory look.This looked pretty good, and it was indeed food for escort, so it was naturally released.

Guan Yu's team was unimpeded all the way. Around evening, Guan Yu led his soldiers to the city of Zhuo County.

Zhuoxian County is the seat of Zhuojun County, and it is not far from Xiaopei. The city wall is not bad. The city wall is seven or eight feet high. If you can't cheat the city, you will have to pay a big price if you attack it by force. .

It's wartime now, even though it's still dark, the city gates of Zhuo County are still closed.Guan Yu led his soldiers and escorted food and grass to outside Zhuo County.

"I am Guan Sheng, go and inform your general, and quickly open the city gate." Guan Yu shouted loudly from below the city, riding a yellow Puma.

Obviously, Guan Sheng escorted the food and grass not once or twice. Cao Jun in the city did not have any suspicion when Guan Yu shouted.Instead, he shouted towards the city: "General Guan, wait for a while, then go and report."

The soldiers guarding the city thought, General Guan Sheng came to transport grain and grass again, so he had to report to his general.However, this General Guan was really diligent. He had just escorted the food and grass back three days ago, so he probably didn't even have a rest, so he sent the food and grass again.

Before Cao Cao formed an alliance with Li Chen, Yu Jin was ordered to guard Zhuo County.After Cao Cao and Li Chen formed an alliance, Cao Cao's troops were tight, so he began to transfer troops from Zhuojun.Not only was General Jiang Jin transferred away, but more than [-] of the [-] troops in Zhuo County were transferred away.

Today, the seven or eight counties in Zhuo County together only have ten thousand soldiers and horses, and a little-known general named Bao Dan is in charge of defense.

At this time, it was evening, and Bao Dan was having dinner in the county office.Hearing that the soldiers came to report, it was said that Guan Sheng was escorting food and grass again.

At this time, it was the most difficult time for Cao Cao, almost relying on the support of Xuzhou area.So these Cao Jun officers who deal with the people under Li Chen, they dare not offend the officials on Li Chen's side in the slightest.

As soon as he heard that Guan Sheng was coming, Bao Dan couldn't eat any more of the half-eaten meal.He didn't dare to keep Guan Sheng waiting for a long time, so he quickly put down his chopsticks and rushed towards the city gate.

"Squeak, squeak."

The city gate of Zhuojun was opened, and after the suspension bridge fell, Bao Dan walked out with a group of soldiers.

"General Guan, long time no see." Bao Xin cupped his hands at Guan Yu.

"En." Guan Yu responded lightly.

Guan Yu was not far from Bao Dan at this time, and Bao Dan had seen Guan Sheng again, so Guan Yu was afraid that he might miss the point, so he didn't dare to say more.

Bao Dan had seen Guan Sheng before, why didn't he recognize him.For one thing, Guan Yu and Guan Sheng are indeed similar in appearance, and it is not easy to tell if you don't distinguish them carefully.Second, when the soldiers went to report, Bao Dan was eating.This Baodan is good at wine on weekdays, and I like to drink a few glasses at night.He had been drinking a lot just now, so his head would be dizzy now. Although he wasn't completely drunk, he still looked confused.

"Come here, inspect the grain, and count the quantity." Bao Dan waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him began to count and receive the grain.

The two tossed about for more than half an hour. After the food counting and handover was over, it was completely dark.

"General Guan, the food is fine, you can go back." Bao Dan said to Guan Yu.

When Guan Yu heard this, he was immediately stunned.Xindao, you have collected the food, let me go back now, do you really think that I have brought you the food?
"General Bao, there are still [-] miners who need to be escorted this time, and this time we have to borrow Daozhuo County." Guan Yu said to Bao Dan.

"Excuse me, no problem." Bao Dan replied.

It is also reasonable to transport the miners. This is in the agreement between Li Chen and Cao Cao, and Bao Dan dares to stop it.

However, the next moment Bao Dan came to his senses, and immediately asked: "3000 people, isn't it right? The king of Wei gave me an order to wait for all the grain to be delivered outside Zhuo County, and the number of miners crossing the border cannot exceed 500 each time. Your 3000 people The man said, "No, no, I can't explain to King Wei."
