Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 605 Yuan Shao Attacks
Seeing the enemy's large army coming aggressively, the drivers were so scared that they had no intention of driving. They abandoned the grain carts and fled for their lives.

The two leaders did not hesitate and fled desperately. In their panic, they even forgot to bring their water bags.

"Run, run, run..."

The two men were much more eager to escape at this moment than when they were urging the carriage to speed up just now.

Jiang Qi quickly brought his troops and surrounded all the grain carts.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect such a great achievement to be accomplished so easily by a certain family. It seems that the fortune of a certain family has been good recently. It is destined that I, Jiang Qi, will be lucky and get promoted and make a fortune."

He chopped several of the sacks with his sword and broke them apart. The grain inside flowed out like water. Jiang Qi looked at the large amount of grain in front of him and his mouth was almost drooling.

The deputy general at the side quickly flattered him: "General, you are so mighty and powerful that you can be compared to a god. How can the rest of us mortals compare to you? You are the first to have the lord protect Jizhou and achieve hegemony. It will be easy for you to be promoted to the first general under your lord in the future. I would like to congratulate you first."

"Okay, you have followed me for many years. When that day comes, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Jiang Qi was very happy, and felt that today was the happiest day in his thirty-plus years of life. The deputy general also kept thanking him.

"Send someone back to the city immediately to report the good news to the lord. We will escort the grain carts and transport them back to the city as soon as possible."

"As ordered!"

A soldier got Jiang Qi's token and quickly ran towards Yecheng, while the other soldiers pushed the grain carts and hurried back.

Jiang Qi was extremely excited. During the march, he sat on the horse, swaying from side to side, and hummed a little tune unconsciously.

"Master, I'm lucky. I'm going to get rich today. I'm going to buy eight or nine houses soon. Master, I'm in a good mood. I'm going to get promoted tomorrow. I'm going to take a concubine and give her eighteen rooms. I'm going to get promoted and get rich. Hmm, ah, ah, ah..."

In the residence of the governor of Yecheng, although it was already night, Yuan Shao and many generals and counselors were still all gathered together. Everyone had a look of anxiety on their face, especially Yuan Shao and Xu You, who seemed a little restless.

"My Lord, good news, good news..."

An excited voice came from outside the door, causing everyone to look over instantly, and Yuan Shao seemed extremely expectant.

"Quick, report it quickly!"

The soldier ran into the hall and knelt on one knee: "General Jiang Qi led our army and successfully hijacked the enemy's grain convoy, and is on his way back!"

"it is good!"

Yuan Shao was ecstatic.

Xu You quickly stepped forward and said, "My lord, now that the great event has been accomplished, we should quickly spread the news that the Bingzhou army has run out of food and grass, and at the same time, send out an order to the entire army to march out immediately. While the enemy's morale is in disarray, we should engage in a decisive battle as quickly as possible. We will definitely be able to capture Liu He's head before dawn. Otherwise, the longer the night, the more trouble there is, and it is hard to guarantee that Liu He has no plan to stabilize the morale of the army."

"Very good, very good, that's exactly what we should do. Pass the order down immediately and have the entire army march out!"

In General Liu He's tent, Cheng Liang and others hurried in, all looking very anxious.

"Brother, something terrible has happened. I don't know which bastard actually leaked the news of the shortage of military rations in the army. Although the soldiers haven't done anything on the surface, they are discussing this matter in private. Even Dameng rushed to ask me. What should I do?"

"Yes, big brother, if this continues, the army will be in chaos and we will definitely lose this battle. We must think of a solution."

Everyone looked at each other and spoke a little. Although Zhang Yong and Gao Shun did not say anything, their brows were furrowed and they looked troubled.

Liu He looked at Xun You beside him and was about to speak when a soldier ran in from outside.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's army suddenly rushed out of the city and is less than ten miles away from our camp!"

"Damn it, this bastard is clearly taking advantage of the situation!" Cheng Liang was furious.

Zhang Yong shook his head: "It's not that he took advantage of the fire, but that he was the one who set the fire."

He looked at Liu He and said sternly: "Brother, the only way now is to appease the soldiers first, so that we can resist the enemy."

Gao Shun also said, "That's right." Everyone looked at Liu He anxiously, and Liu He also looked at Xun You: "Gongda, in this situation, do you have any good plan?"

Xun You said without hesitation: "This is easy. The lord has always been strict in managing the army. He is very prestigious among the soldiers because of his kindness and authority. Now we just need the lord to come forward and explain that this was a rumor spread by Yuan Shao, and the soldiers will definitely believe it."

"Then, order the entire army to pretend to be in chaos to paralyze the enemy. When they rush into the camp, suddenly attack them, and the enemy will be thrown into chaos."

Liu He nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it."

Soon, many generals began to explain to the soldiers. As expected, as soon as this statement came out, almost all the soldiers chose to believe it.

"I told you, what kind of man is the Lord? How could there be a shortage of military rations?"

"That's right. Today's three meals are still sufficient. There is no reduction or deduction at all. If the military rations are in short supply, how could this happen?"

"Yuan Shao, this fellow, can't defeat us head-on, so he resorts to such schemes and intrigues. He really has no shame."

"It just so happens that he attacked us at night. We must vent our anger and avenge our brothers who died in battle under the city in the past three days."

All the soldiers instantly became united in their hatred of the enemy. Instead of being in chaos, their morale was greatly boosted.

A great war was about to break out, but Jiang Qi's grain convoy had only gone halfway.

Jiang Qi hummed one little tune after another, which was very pleasant.

However, just as he was singing happily, he suddenly heard a few shouts behind him.

"Oh, General, this is bad..."

When this voice came out, Jiang Qi was naturally very displeased. He reined in his horse, shouted to stop the team, turned around and started scolding loudly.

"What are you yelling for, a bunch of rubbish? You guys ruined my good time, what crime should I take?"

Several soldiers came over and said, "General, it's not that I don't know what's good for me, it's just... just..."

They looked up at Jiang Qi's face halfway through their conversation, fearing that the general would get angry and kill them.

Jiang Qi shouted impatiently, "What are you looking at? What happened? If it's nothing important, I will kill you."

The soldiers then spoke up: "General, the ropes tying the grain sacks on many grain carts suddenly broke, causing many sacks to fall off the carts. If we want to put them in order, I'm afraid it will take some effort..."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi whipped one of the soldiers, knocking him to the ground.

"Useless things, you can't even handle such a small matter. If you delay me from making meritorious contributions, I will skin you alive. Hurry up and pack up!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The soldiers did not dare to delay and ran back quickly.

The deputy general came over and said, "General, don't be angry. I think the messenger has already returned to the city. The lord knows that you have made great contributions. Even if you return later, it doesn't matter."

"What do you know?" Jiang Qi glared at him.

"Tonight is the time for a decisive battle. My lord's plan will surely cause chaos in the Bingzhou army. It is time for us to gain merit. If we return too late, I am afraid we won't even get the leftovers. Wouldn't that ruin my future?"

"This... the general's lesson is correct, the lesson is..." The deputy general was frustrated and felt bored, so he could only retreat in disappointment.

At this time, a soldier shouted again: "Ah... this... this is..."

"How could this be so..."
