The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Both Cao and Yuan occupied Guandu for more than a month, and conducted some small-scale explorations, and both armies suffered losses.Yuan Shao's tricks were thwarted by Cao Cao. Seeing that the harvest season was about to enter in July, both sides chose to avoid the battle, but they were unwilling to retreat.

On this day, Long Fei brought all his subordinates to Cao Jun's tent.Face full of anger.As soon as he entered the big tent, he stood in the center without waiting for Cao Cao to speak or salute Cao Cao, and said, "Father-in-law, why don't you give us food and grass?"

"Uh...!" Cao Cao didn't know how to answer, and hurriedly looked at the several counselors beside him.Jiang Ji hurriedly said: "General Long, calm down, calm down! Hey! It's time for harvest now. Last year's grain has been exhausted, and the new grain has not yet arrived. It will take time to transport the grain and grass from Xuchang. Bandits are rampant along the way, and Yuan Shao will still Taking the opportunity to rob food, the Lord is trying to figure out a way, not only General Long’s soldiers, but our soldiers and horses also have limited food and grass, general calm down!”

Long Fei said coldly: "Why do I feel wrong? Next to my camp are Cao Chun's tiger and leopard riders. They have enough food and grass! Mr. Jiang, how do you explain this?"

"Uh...!" Jiang Ji also had nothing to say for a while.Dong Zhaodao: "The tiger and leopard cavalry are the elite of our army. How can the provision of food and grass be compared with ordinary soldiers? General Long can go outside the tent and have a look. The other soldiers of our army can't even eat one meal a day!"

"I don't care about this! According to the agreement between my father-in-law and I, our army will go to war, and my father-in-law will provide food and grass. Now our soldiers can't get enough to eat, so there is a danger of defeat!" Long Fei's face was serious, and he didn't joke at all. Meaning: "According to our agreement, our army can withdraw now, Mr. Jiang, do you think so?"

"This!" Jiang Ji was speechless and looked at Cao Cao.Cao Cao sighed softly: "My son-in-law! I will deal with this matter. As soon as the food and grass arrives, you will give priority to your troops. I hope your son-in-law will be patient for a few days. I have sent someone to urge you to arrive soon!"

Long Fei left, and there was no sound in the big tent.Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao: "My lord, the problem of our food and grass is imminent. Tens of thousands of troops gather here, and the daily cost is huge. The food and grass hoarded over the years have basically been used up. If there is no good solution, I am worried that not only Long Fei , I’m afraid our army will have opinions.”

Dong Zhaodao: "A few days ago, our food delivery team was hijacked by Yuan Shao's men. If we can't find out the Yuan Jun who is behind us, even if we have food, we may not be able to deliver it!"

Cao Cao nodded: "I already know about this matter, and sent Yuan Rang and Manchester City to lead troops to meet them, hoping to get something!"

Xiahoudun led five thousand cavalry to the place where the grain truck was robbed. This is the only way from Xuchang to Guandu. There are dense forests on both sides, so it is very easy to hide soldiers and horses.Although the food transport team also had guards, the combat effectiveness of the Dunai County soldiers was very weak, and they couldn't deal with Yuan Jun's soldiers at all.According to reports from those who escaped, Yuan Jun was surrounded by cavalry, more archers, and they fired rockets from the dense forest, making it impossible to defend against.

Li Dian found traces of troops and horses stationed in the dense forest on the west side. After inspection, it was determined that the number of people was no less than [-].Xiahou Dun immediately sent out scouts to investigate in many ways.There is no news within a ten-mile radius.Xiahou Dun yelled angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

Li Dian said: "The enemy is cunning, and immediately shifts away after one blow. We can't find any clues at all. I have a plan to lure them out!"

Three days later, from the city of Xuchang, dozens of grain trucks drove out of the city and turned onto the road to Guandu.The grain and grass on the cart were piled up like a mountain, and the escorts were still some county soldiers, who seemed not to be affected by the looting of the army grain a few days ago.Stop and go all the way north.

In a small village deep in Jiluo Mountain, Lu Xiang was drinking and joking with a few soldiers.Three days ago, they attacked Cao Jun's grain carts, most of the grain was burned, and the rest were moved here.Lu Xiang forgot the instructions given by Jushou before he left, and asked someone to set up a bonfire, and together with the game they brought back, they made a sumptuous meal.The soldiers who had been suffocated for more than ten days ate like hungry wolves one by one.

"Brothers!" Lu Xiang held up the wine bowl: "From now on, everyone is free to eat today, and Cao Cao will send you if there is nothing! So don't worry!"

"Hahaha...!" Everyone burst into laughter, and stood up to toast Lu Xiang: "The general has a fortune, Cao's army has no food, and our army will win!"

A fast horse galloped along the mountain road, and the rider on the horse was full of excitement.Flying and jumping off the horse, without breathing evenly, he hastily knelt down: "Report...! Report to General! Cao, Cao...!"

"Don't worry, speak slowly! Come here, give him a bowl of wine!"

"Thank you, General!" The knight raised his neck and drank a large bowl of wine: "General, Cao Jun has brought out food and grass again!"

"Oh!" Lu Xiang's face was brightened instantly, and he laughed loudly: "Okay! This is our business again! Send the order and get ready to go!"

The grain carts were moving very slowly, and they had to send people to check carefully every time they passed, as if they were worried about encountering the last danger again. He looked around and reminded his soldiers to be careful from time to time.After crossing the Xiaoqing River, Guandu was another two days away, and they rested at Qingshui Village that night.

Qingshuizhuang is a small village with only a hundred or so people living on both sides of the official road. The surrounding fields are full of harvested crops, which are golden and very beautiful.The captain did not enter the village, but set up his camp by the Xiaoqing River outside the village, hoping to use the Xiaoqing River as a defense to reduce the pressure on defense.At night, the drivers surrounded the city with grain carts, unloaded the cows and horses pulling the carts, fed some fodder, and then found a fire to lie down and rest.The captain checked around and felt that there was no problem, so he also walked into his tent.

The night gradually deepened, and the people, cattle and horses who had worked hard all day also quieted down, leaving only the piles of bonfires burning feebly.Lu Xiang twisted his body a few times and yawned: "I'm really tired! What time is it?"

"Just passed away!"

Lu Xiang nodded: "Very good! Let the brothers get up and get ready to fight!"

Just like last time.Suddenly there was shouting and killing around Qingshuizhuang, and thousands of rockets came out of the fields on both sides and went straight to Cao Jun's grain and grass.The front end of the rocket was wrapped with a strip of cloth soaked in oil, and when it shot somewhere, it ignited it very quickly.After a while, several grain trucks burst into flames.The lieutenant got up in a jiffy, and the urgent boat, which had no clothes on it, came out with a sword in hand, and was shocked when he saw it.Hurriedly ordered, the soldiers defended, and the coachmen put out the fire.

"Kill...!" Shouts rang out.Lu Xiang rushed into Cao's army first, stabbing four or five soldiers to death with the long halberd in his hand.Lu Xiang laughed loudly: "Grandpa Lu Xiang is here, if you don't want to die, just kneel down!"

Looking at the surrounding soldiers with swords in hand, and the arrows with fire that the archers didn't shoot, the peasants knelt down first.Immediately afterwards, many Cao Jun also knelt down and begged for surrender.Lu Xiangzhi was full of complacency, with a look of excitement on his face.Suddenly a soldier shouted: "General! There is no grain in this cart!"

Lu Xiang was taken aback, jumped out of the car hastily, cut open the grain bag with a sword, revealing handfuls of sand.Four or five pokes in a row are all the same.The lieutenant general and a few trusted soldiers tore apart the grain bags on the carriage. They were all the same, and they were all black sand.There was a buzz in Lu Xiang's mind, before he could figure out what was going on, he felt a tremor under his feet.

"Cavalry! Cavalry!" Some soldiers shouted.

Xiahou Dun took the lead, swung his long halberd, and charged into Yuan's army.The anger that had accumulated for so long finally arrived when it exploded.The long halberd danced up and down, harvesting Yuan Jun's lives one by one.The sudden attack caught Lu Xiang by surprise, and Yuan Jun didn't react at all.Several personal guards guarded Lu Xiang and used the grain truck as a line of defense, hoping to prevent the cavalry from attacking.

"Defend! Defend!" Lu Xiang shouted.Yuan Jun hurriedly formed a defensive line, but it was too late.Xiahou Dun's cavalry was extremely brave, and the successive charges tore Yuan's army apart, making it impossible to form an effective defense at all.

The lieutenant general said: "General, we have been tricked! Let's withdraw quickly!"

Lu Xiang looked around, Cao Jun was everywhere, there was no way to escape, only Xiaoqinghe behind was the only way out.Fortunately, the river was not too big, so Lu Xiang retreated with a shout, and jumped into the river first.Although the Xiaoqing River is not deep, it is relatively wide, about ten feet. After Lu Xiang walked a few steps, he felt that the water had reached his calf. The further he walked, the deeper it seemed.

"Gululu..." A strange sound came from the upper reaches of the Xiaoqing River.A huge black shadow occasionally turned out some light under the moonlight, and it was impossible to see what it was based on this alone.It was too late when he saw it clearly, the huge wave knocked Lu Xiang under the water, and finally got his head out, another wave hit him.After choking on several mouthfuls of water, Lu Xiang could no longer exert any strength and could only resign himself to fate.After finally grabbing a piece of rotten wood, he was hit hard by a soldier, and then he didn't know anything.

When Lu Xiang woke up, it was already daylight.Fortunately, I was able to save my life by hugging the rotten piece of wood tightly. Looking at the rushing river, I don't know how far I was washed away. There were no soldiers around me, and they must all be dead.Lu Xiang wants to cry but has no tears, how will he explain to Yuan Shao after returning?Thinking about it, it's not as good as dying.But then again, it's better to live than to die, and besides, it's the time to employ people, maybe Yuan Shao won't kill himself.Thinking of this, Lu Xiang took a short rest, looked at the path, and walked towards Guandu.

three days later.Seeing Lu Xiang's distressed state, Yuan Shao really didn't know what to say, but luckily the Lu brothers were closer to Guo Tu, and Yuan Shao really didn't kill him when Guo Tu interceded.Yuan Shao slapped on several cases: "Our strategy has been repeatedly frustrated, it would be better to fight a battle, come here, go and fight Cao Cao!"
