The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 203 Escorting Food and Grass
Huangfusong sent someone to send the war memorial to Luoyang very early on.

After he finished dealing with Liangzhou affairs, he also received the imperial decree from Emperor Ling.Seeing Emperor Ling's support and approval for the crusade against Xianbei and other foreign races, Huangfusong couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

He dispatched 1 horses from Liangzhou to Bingzhou.He didn't order Dong Zhuo. After all, Liangzhou has experienced wars and hasn't calmed down yet, so someone needs to be in charge.

Huangfusong was not in a hurry. In his opinion, although Chen Ran had already arrived in Bingzhou, it would probably take a while for the real battle to start, and he still had time to rush there.

Then Huangfusong arrived at Bingzhou slowly, and then went straight to Jiuyuan City.He just found out that Chen Ran had commanded an army of [-] a few days ago and sent troops to conquer Xianbei.

Huangfusong really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't expect Chen Ran to be so anxious.But on second thought, Chen Ran did the right thing.The so-called military speed is precious, if it misses the opportunity to fight, it will be the real trouble.

Huangfu Song entered the city.

Chen Ran has already led the troops to leave, so it is naturally impossible for him to lead the army to catch up at this moment.He has only [-] troops conscripted from Liangzhou.Of course, if you don't go, you won't go. Huangfusong knows that there are still some things he can do.

Chen Ran went out to fight and took away Lu Bu and other strong generals, while most of the other officials stayed in the city.At the same time, Ma Teng under Chen Ran's command remained in the city.

On the day when Huangfusong resisted Jiuyuan City, Ma Teng went to pay a visit to Huangfusong.

"Are you sent by Brother Ziling?" Huangfusong asked curiously. In his opinion, Ma Teng was tall and tall, not like an ordinary person.

Ma Teng clasped his hands and replied, "It's exactly what my lord told me to stay here."

"Oh." Huangfusong nodded in relief and replied, "Xiang Ziling left you in Jiuyuan City, why?"

Ma Teng replied: "Before my lord left, I entrusted my humble post. Food and grass is the most important thing for the army, so there should be no delay. General Huangfu will soon defend Jiuyuan City. General Huangfu will command all the food and grass dispatch!"

Huangfusong was slightly taken aback, and then said with a smile: "Xiang Ziling really has a good plan! You let me prepare the army's logistics?"

Huangfu Song couldn't help teasing, but in fact he took it up and said: "Well, I will leave this matter to the general!"

Ma Teng cupped his hands and was about to leave, Huangfusong asked curiously, "Where are you from?"

Ma Teng replied: "Ma Teng is a humble man from Liangzhou."

Huangfusong suddenly realized, looked at Ma Teng slightly startled, and asked in surprise, "Could it be the former General Fubo?"

Ma Teng said neither humble nor overbearing: "It is the humble ancestor!"

Huangfusong looked at Ma Teng again, and sighed in his heart that Ma Teng was the successor of Ma Yuan, and he was really different.

After a short rest, Huangfusong started to get busy.He is much more versatile than Chen Ran, whether it is military affairs or government affairs, he handles them with ease.

Naturally, it is no problem to prepare food and grass in this area.

Before Chen Ran set off for the expedition, he issued a transfer order, ordering the counties and counties to mobilize food and grass to Jiuyuan City.At this moment, Huangfusong was ordered by Emperor Ling to mobilize food and grass from the surrounding states to provide stable logistical support for the conquest army.

Food and grass will be ready soon.Huangfusong had already learned from Ma Teng that the army only carried [-] days of food and grass.We must seize the time to send food, otherwise I am afraid it will be disadvantageous to the army.

Huangfusong naturally made a decision quickly.However, before delivering the grain and grass, it is still necessary to find a trustworthy person.

Ever since, Huangfu Song set his sights on Ma Teng.

Huangfusong asked Ma Teng: "This general asks you, if you are ordered to take someone to escort the grain and grass, would you be willing to accept the order?"

Ma Teng was originally the first team leader of the Second Squad of the Killing God Army. Chen Ran kept him in Jiuyuan City because he was supposed to be more capable than others and to use him for other purposes.Now is the opportunity, Ma Teng did not refuse, he bowed his hands to Huangfu Song and replied: "I would like to go to the humble position!"

Huangfu Song stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "As expected of being a descendant of Ma Fubo, you really have courage. Since you have taken over, the important task of escorting the grain and grass will be entrusted to you."

Ma Teng handed over again.

Huangfusong sent Ma Teng [-] soldiers and tens of thousands of stones of food and grass to take him to Chen Ran's place.

When Chen Ran went to the territory of Xianbei, news kept coming, and the specific location could also be found through this.

Ma Teng led [-] troops to escort a large amount of food and grass.Walking on the prairie, it seemed extraordinarily quiet.Almost no one was seen, whether it was the Xianbei people or the Han army.

Escorting food and grass is not a good job.Not only must guard against the intrusion of Xianbei foreigners, but also pay attention to the protection of grain and grass, no matter it is windy or rainy along the way, the grain and grass must not be damaged.

If food and grass lead to defeat, this is a serious crime of joint and several liability.After all, food and grass are crucial in war.

After walking for nearly seven days, Ma Teng finally found the mark of the Han army. The Han army stationed there knew Ma Teng, and after greeting him, he let Ma Teng pass.

Ma Teng was also a little happy and surprised. When he was in Jiuyuan City, he heard about Chen Ran's deeds and wiped out [-] Xianbei elites in the first battle.

After all, he hadn't experienced it himself, and thinking about it now, he was indeed a little shocked.If he can also fight on the battlefield, it will feel unusual.

After receiving the news that the food and grass had been delivered, Chen Ran quickly sent someone out to meet him, and invited Ma Teng into Chen Ran's camp.

"How is Jiuyuan City these days?" Chen Ran asked casually.

He suddenly replied: "Since my subordinate left the city, everything has been as usual, nothing unusual. Now General Huangfu is in Jiuyuan City."

"It seems that the guess is correct, the elder brother has really arrived." Chen Ran suddenly looked, he had expected it a long time ago.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Ran patted Ma Teng on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Ma Teng hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, you've praised me a lot, this is the job of my subordinates."

Chen Ran smiled and shook his head immediately, and replied: "Shoucheng, you don't have to refuse. Brother dispatches grain and grass in Jiuyuan City, and manages the logistics. Can it not be bitter?"

"I lead the army to fight outside, and I am the same as the director inside. You just need to remember and do your job well." Chen Ran didn't deliberately say too much, but just mentioned a few words casually.

Ma Teng understood what Chen Ran meant, so he cupped his hands and replied, "This subordinate understands."

"I heard that my lord wiped out [-] Xianbei cavalry earlier, so it must be true?" Ma Teng asked a little late.

Chen Ran was taken aback, then smiled and replied: "It is true, but it has been a long time ago. A few days ago, another [-] Xianbei army was defeated, and the battle report has already sent people back to Luoyang."

"[-] troops?" Ma Teng murmured to himself, his face was startled, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What did he miss during this time?
