The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 317 Little People Have Big Effects

Just when Dongfang Sheng and the others were at a loss, a scout came in with a big stupid man in animal skin.

"Report, my lord, this man said he wanted to see you." The scout stood behind the big fool, holding the handle of the knife, ready to draw the knife to kill the big fool at any time.

Dongfang Sheng stopped thinking, and looked at this big stupid guy who said he wanted to see him. This guy was big and thick, with extremely strong muscles. From the protruding bulbous muscles on his bare calf, Dongfang Sheng could be sure of this guy's strength. Explosiveness and stamina are absolutely top-notch.

Looking at the face of this stupid big man, he is definitely not stupid, and even a little delicate, but the full beard on his face destroys the original beauty.

"What's your name?" Dongfang Sheng asked with a smile.

The silly big man scratched his head with his thick fingers and said shyly, "They all call me Leopard."

"Leopard, why do you want to see me?" Dongfang Sheng asked impatiently.

Just as the leopard was about to speak, his stomach rumbled. It was obvious that this guy hadn't eaten for several meals.

Dongfang Sheng smiled and picked up a large piece of dry bread from the table and threw it to the leopard, "Let's talk after you eat something."

As soon as the leopard received the rusk, he stuffed it directly into his mouth, as if he was going to stuff the rusk directly into his stomach.

Oops!
The leopard choked on eating because the rusk was a bit dry because it was eating too fast.

Dongfang Sheng poured a bowl of water and handed it to Leopard, "Drink some water to moisten your throat."

The leopard quickly picked up the bowl and drank it down, then burped contentedly, wiped his mouth with his hand and said: "I heard that you Yizhou soldiers not only pay the highest military pay, but also eat the best food. White flour steamed buns?"

"Well, our military pay is indeed higher than others, but we not only eat white flour steamed buns, but also meat." Dongfang Sheng joked.

"There's meat!" Leopard said with a green light in his eyes, "I want to be a soldier with you. Do you know Dongfang Sheng, Yizhou Mu?"

"I am." Dongfang Sheng felt happy, and his original worries disappeared a bit.

Leopard said excitedly: "I don't need to be a bandit anymore, I will be a member of the court from now on, mother, have you seen it?"

After the leopard finished speaking, he ran outside and roared at the sky, and then ran back excitedly.

"I have something important to tell you." Leopard suppressed the smile on his face and said, "I used to be a bandit, and a few days ago I took people to grab food..."

"Get to the point!" Dongfang Sheng said with his eyes glowing.

Zhao Yun, Lu Yi and Zhuge Liang also jumped out together, staring at the leopard in unison.

This posture made Leopard feel at a loss. Seeing this, Dongfang Sheng had no choice but to reach out and pat Leopard's generous shoulder, "Speak slowly."

"Oh, we got a message that day that a large group of people was going to deliver food, and we were short of food, so I wanted to get some food." Leopard started chattering again.

"...In the end we found out that they were soldiers from Liangzhou, and then all my men were killed. It was hard work for me to run fast, so I saved my life."

When the leopard finally finished talking about his experiences, Dongfang Sheng jumped up and said, "Do you know their route?"

"I know, I know that road very well." Leopard said with some pride, "I often rob that road, because it's remote and not far from here, I guess they will be here tomorrow."

"Okay, Leopard, you have done a great job!" Dongfang Sheng said excitedly, "Whatever you want to eat, you can say whatever you want after I rob them of their food!"

"Zilong, send the order down, the whole army will have a full meal, and after eating, take a good rest for an hour, and then set off on time!" Dongfang Sheng ordered.

"Here!" Zhao Yun took the order to leave, and his usually calm voice trembled a little.

However, Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi beside Dongfang Sheng carefully pulled Dongfang Sheng outside and asked, "Don't you suspect that there is fraud?"

It’s no wonder that Zhuge Liang and the others would think too much. This is the era of the most powerful schemes. Many conquests among the princes will use tricks to surrender. The famous bitter tricks in history came from the Three Kingdoms.

Dongfang Sheng chuckled and said: "Sometimes people have to gamble. If I choose to doubt, then our end is to take soldiers back to Yizhou, but there is only one day's rations. How many soldiers will we lose on the way back? If If we fight hard, maybe we can get enough food and grass, and we can also attack Han Sui and the others, killing two birds with one stone. Even if we lose, our ending will be similar to the result of going back to Yizhou directly, so why don't we fight hard?"

After listening to Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi, they each fell into deep thought. They are smart and talented, but after all, their life experience is not enough, and some things are naturally not as thorough as Dongfang Sheng.

Of course, robbing grain and grass is not as easy as in the novel. Generally speaking, the chief general will send heavy troops to supervise the transport of grain and grass. In the battle of Guandu in history, Cao Cao's surprise attack on Wuchao is also very dangerous. Originally, if Yuan Shao followed the advice of his counselors and sent more men , It is estimated that there will be nothing about Cao Cao in the next three countries.

As night fell, the relatively hot weather in Liangzhou began to cool down.

There were only patrolling soldiers left in Dongfang Sheng's camp, and the rest of the soldiers had already lay down to rest early.

The camp of Han Sui and Ma Teng on the opposite side was still brightly lit. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they did not want to rest so early.

Among the Chinese army, in Han Sui's tent.

Han Sui took the main seat, and Ma Teng sat on the left.

Han Sui cut off a piece of mutton leg with a knife, dipped it in some salt, and put it in his mouth. The smooth and tender mutton made him burp in satisfaction.

"The Dongfang boy is coming in menacingly, what should we do?" On the contrary, Ma Teng didn't have the slightest desire to face the delicious leg of lamb. scene.

"Shoucheng, don't you know that Dongfang Xiaoer is at the end of his battle? I dare say that if he doesn't withdraw his troops within three days, he will definitely be defeated!" Han Sui said calmly. Grabbing and eating until the mouth is greasy.

"Brother Wen Yue, how dare you be so sure?" Ma Teng asked a little puzzled.

"The so-called soldiers and horses go first before using food and grass. They came from Yizhou. How is the food and grass supply compared to ours? How much food and grass are left in our barracks?" Han Sui wiped his hands with the cloth on the food table, picked up the wine glass and emptied it. One mouthful.

"There is only enough food and grass for the soldiers in our barracks for three days, so the Dongfang children must not have enough." Ma Teng reacted immediately, but immediately said worriedly: "They don't have enough food and grass, so don't we have much?"

Han Sui laughed loudly and said, "I have ordered people to go back and deliver food and grass. I guess tomorrow we will have enough food and grass to feed us for a month!"

"So good!"

Ma Teng finally felt relieved, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
