I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 105
Cao Cao thought to himself, what does Yuan Shao's officials embezzling food have to do with your sand table deduction.

No matter how much food and grass his subordinates embezzle, it has nothing to do with you!

Cao Cao grabbed the corner of Guo Jia's white robe and wiped the oil on his hands, and asked, "Yuan Shao hoarded enough food in Wuchao for three years. Don't say that the officials under him embezzled [-]% of the food. With [-]% corruption, he can last for a year and a half."

"And our army's food and grass can only be enough for more than a month at most. Whether his subordinates embezzle the food and grass has anything to do with whether you can take down Wuchao?"

Su Ming came to the sand table, pointed to the boundary of Wuchao and said, "I'm not sure, how dare I talk nonsense."

"A few days ago, I ordered Qu'a to hurry to Wuchao. Qu'a hid in the forest outside Wuchao for a day and a night. Guess what Qu'a saw?"

Hearing Su Ming's words, Cao Cao knew that he must have discovered some great secret when he sent Qu'a to Wuchao.

This secret is the key for Su Ming to win Wuchao in the sand table deduction.

Cao Cao gave Su Ming a hard look, and said, "I'm showing off, so I'll let you see whether your butt is stronger or my army stick is stronger."

Su Ming looked at this cheap old man and thought, this is too funny, he is impatient.

"Qu'a saw that at night, the people sent by the officials under Yuan Shao's command would transport grain out in trucks and trucks."

"The Wuchao at night is much more lively than the Wuchao during the day!"

"My men and horses can pretend to be the servants of those officials, sneak into the city, and then set fire to the food."

"When the time comes, Wuchao will definitely be in chaos!" Su Ming said the crux of the matter.

As soon as Su Ming finished speaking, Cao Cao's eyes lit up. Obviously, in his opinion, Su Ming's plan is also feasible.

After a while, Cao Cao continued to ask, "No!"

"Even if you are pretending to be a family guard who transports food, where did you get the seals to enter the city, and how do you know the layout of the city's defenses?"

These officials under Yuan Shao smuggled food and grass, but not all officials of any rank are qualified to make such a fortune.

Those guards who entered Wuchao to steal food all had special documents and seals.

You cannot enter Wuchao City without a document and seal.Even if you enter the city and don't know where the granary is or how to get there, you have to reveal your truth.

The most critical step in getting into the Wuchao Granary is to obtain the current stamped documents and the topographical map of the Wuchao Granary.

Where to start the fire and how to spread the fire as quickly as possible is the key.

"Xu You."

"I persuaded the prime minister's friend Xu You to join the prime minister. Xu You brought the documents and the topographic map of Wuchao!"

"As for how to get Xu You to vote, I believe that the prime minister and the military adviser must have a way."

"The Prime Minister now thinks, is my sand table deduction feasible?" Su Ming asked Cao Cao.

After Su Ming finished his last sentence, Cao Cao immediately rushed to the sand table and observed the whole sand table carefully.

After a full stick of incense, Cao Cao memorized every inch of the sand table in his mind.

Then, Cao Cao turned to Guo Jia with a solemn expression and asked, "Fengxiao, is there a way to get Xu You to vote?"

Xu You came to vote, which is the key to the whole thing.

As long as Xu You can be persuaded to vote, and bring the documents and seals for entering Wuchao's granary, as well as the topographical map of Wuchao, then the entire battle situation can be revitalized.

After Su Ming finished speaking, Guo Jia realized that everything that Su Ming deduced on the sand table was feasible.

Of course, the prerequisite is that they can persuade Xu You to vote.

While Cao Cao was looking at the sand table inch by inch, Guo Jia was not idle either. Guo Jia was thinking of getting Xu You to vote.

"Lord, don't worry, leave this matter to Feng Xiao!" Guo Jia agreed.

Guo Jia is known as a genius, and he is the number one in Cao Ying in terms of making suggestions.

He came to trick Xu You into surrendering, so Cao Cao was somewhat sure.

On the mountain road less than a hundred miles away from Wuchao, a large group of mules, horses and vehicles were really carrying food and walking on the mountain trail with difficulty.

The leader of this team was Xu You's nephew Xu Hong, and the grain carried by these mules and horses was smuggled out of the Wuchao granary by them.

Yuan Shao stored too much grain in Wuchao. The officials under Yuan Shao used this method of moving ants to smuggle grain and grass out and resell it.

The front is tight, and the rear is tight. This sentence is not a joke.

This has been the case since ancient times, without exception.

For example, Xu You, Fengji, Judging and so on, these important officials around Yuan Shao, their families all participated in it.

Originally, these aristocratic families relied on business to support their families. Once the war broke out, their business would definitely be affected.

If the business has been affected, it is natural to make up for it from other sources.

Where to find compensation is naturally to make this kind of war fortune.

Now that food prices are rising, smuggling military food from Wuchao and reselling it at a high price is the best business.

Didn't Chunyu Qiong, Wuchao's food manager, know about this?

Of course he knew that the reason why he didn't stop it was because he couldn't afford to offend these people, and secondly, he had a share for himself.

Xu You's nephew, Xu Hong, smuggled three thousand shi of grain from Wuchao this time.

According to the original plan, I should have left this area last night, but I don't know why along the way.

On the mountain road, there are fallen boulders and fallen trees everywhere.

Being blocked by these rocks and trees, Xu Hong and the others lost a lot of time.

Xu Hong didn't know that all of this was Guo Jia's plan, and the falling rocks and fallen trees were all done by Guo Jia's people.

At this time, on the mountain road not far from Xu Hong and the others, the sky was full of dust and flags were flying.

A general in blue armor with big shoulders and round waist is leading three thousand soldiers and horses to Wuchao.

The flag hung by this soldier and horse has a Chinese character "jue" written on it.

There is no doubt that this person is Ju Yi, Yuan Shao's general.

Ju Yi is really upright, and he is very upright.

Back then on the boundary bridge, he led eight hundred dead soldiers to defeat Gongsun Zan's three thousand white horse followers.

Ju Yi went to Wuchao this time, following Yuan Shao's order, to escort some ordnance.

At this time, Ju Yi's large army was only more than ten miles away from Xu Hong's grain transportation team, and there was no doubt that they would meet head-on.

Guo Jia just calculated the time and sent people to set up roadblocks to delay Xu Hong's speed, just to let him and Ju Yi run into each other.

Everyone in Yuan Jun knew about Ju Yi's personality. This person, let alone Xu You, dared to confront Yuan Shao face to face even if he did something wrong.

It is self-evident what happened to these food smugglers who were discovered by Ju Yi.
