Wang Lei returned to Ye County with his soldiers. After the army was resettled, Wang Lei immediately summoned officials to discuss matters.

The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed.

In the lobby of the Prefecture Palace, Wang Lei sat above and looked around the officials in the hall. Wang Lei said straight to the point: "The threat from Gongsun Zan and Wuhuan has been lifted, and only Yuan Shao and the Yellow Turban Thief Guan Hai in Qingzhou were left. Zhang He sent back the news that he blocked Yuan Shao outside the county town of Pingen County. Yuan Shao was unable to go south for the time being, and the remaining problem was Guan Hai!"

After a brief analysis, Wang Lei continued: "The most important problem at the moment is the lack of food. Before the troops move, food and grass will go first. Without food and grass, there will be no war. The most urgent task is to solve the problem of food. With food, it is not difficult to repel Guan Hai!"

Du Ji scratched his head and ears, looking embarrassed: "I have sent someone to collect grain, but the effect is not great!"

Wang Lei flicked his sleeves and said strongly: "I don't want the process, I just want the result, and the food problem must be solved!"

Du Ji smiled bitterly, this was really difficult.

During this period, he was troubled by food.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lei came back with a dead order.

Seeing that Wang Lei ignored the current situation, Xin Ping couldn't help but speak, "Sir, the problem of food is probably not easy to solve. Without food, it is impossible to create it out of thin air, and we cannot steal the people's food!"

Wang Lei said in a deep voice: "I didn't say that I would rob the people's food. This is absolutely impossible, but I don't find a way to collect food. Do I want to lead the army to surrender to Yuan Shao? Even let the Yellow Turban Thief Guan Hai of Qingzhou rage in Jizhou?"

Xin Ping was silent, and Wang Lei naturally could not surrender.

Anyone can surrender, but Wang Lei cannot.

Guo Jia suddenly spoke, "Lord, Wei County is adjacent to Dongjun, the prefect of Dongjun Cao Cao, and Yanzhou is adjacent to Jizhou. In this case, I think people can be sent to Dongjun to visit Cao Cao and ask Cao Cao for food and grass; or send people to Yanzhou to buy food from Yanzhou Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou. There is a shortage of food during this period, but it can be delayed for a while if the food is transported back!"

Du Ji's eyes lit up and he said, "I have a good idea of ​​Fengxiao, why didn't I expect it?"

When Wang Lei heard this, he also felt that Guo Jia's plan was feasible and immediately ordered: "Since you have the idea of ​​collecting food, go and implement it immediately. This battle will be sent to Dongjun, and..."

"Report!"

Before he could finish his words, the soldiers' reports came from outside the hall.

"Come in!"

Wang Lei looked out and a soldier ran in quickly.

The soldier knelt on one knee and reported: "Sir, I just received the news that Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, sent someone to deliver 30,000 stones of grain. At present, the escorted grain has entered Neihuang County and is rushing to Ye County!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly exploded.

"Cao Cao sent food, okay, so good, I'm finally saved!"

"Lord Tianyou, there is food to be sent!"

"Cao Cao is such a good person to help him in time. As long as the food arrives in Ye County, with the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the army, it will be easy to expel the Yellow Turban thieves and defeat Yuan Shao!"

Officials were talking, with an excited expression on their faces.

At this moment, everyone fell into ecstasy.

He just fought to collect food and blushed. In the blink of an eye, Cao Cao sent someone to send 30,000 stones of grain. Although the food was not too much, it was enough to relieve Wang Lei's current crisis. This was the real timely help.

Wang Lei was stunned for a moment, and immediately recovered, with an excited expression on his face. Wang Lei stood up and shouted in a deep voice: "Where is Dian Wei!"

"The last one will be here!"

Dian Wei stood up and answered with his fists.

Wang Lei smiled at the corner of his mouth and ordered: "Change the cavalry from the Flying Tiger Camp and follow me to Neihuang County to welcome Cao Cao's grain team. With the 30,000 stones of grain sent by Cao Cao, Jizhou will win, and Yuan Shao and Guan Hai will definitely lose!"

Guo Jia, Du Ji, Tian Feng and others also had smiles on their faces, and they felt relieved.

Wang Lei left behind everyone and immediately left with Dian Wei.

Soon, the cavalry of the Feihu Camp left Ye County and headed straight to Neihuang County in the neighboring county. Wang Lei led the Feihu Camp to hurry up. In two days, the cavalry entered Neihuang County. Wang Lei sent a provocate to inquire for a while, easily found Chen Gong and his group who were escorting food and grass, and then headed straight for it.

On the wide official road, carriages slowly moved forward. Each carriage was filled with large sacks, and the inside was filled with food. This pair of people were Chen Gong and his group who were escorting grain from Dongjun into Neihuang County. Chen Gong was wearing a black robe and fur robe, wrapping himself up like a rice dumpling.

The cold wind whistled, Chen Gong rubbed his hands and sighed in his heart.

This trip to Ye County was really a pain. It was very cold and I couldn't rest, especially since it was almost mid-December and it was almost the end of the year. At this time, Chen Gong was reluctant to come out. A soldier ran to Chen Gong and reported: "Sir, I found the cavalry of the Jizhou Army in front of me, and was rushing towards us!"

Chen Gong's lazy smile appeared and he said, "Stop and prepare to welcome him!"

The team stopped, and Chen Gong came to the front of the team and looked forward to it.

About a stick of incense, a rumbling sound came from the ground. On the horizon, a cavalry appeared, with iron hooves trampling on and ice slag flying. The moment Chen Gong saw this cavalry, his pupils shrank.

This cavalry has a grand momentum and high fighting spirit, which is not simple.

There are such cavalry in Jizhou, and their strength is not weak.

After a moment, the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Camp had arrived. Wang Lei grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, with a smile on his face, came to the front of the grain team, and smiled and said, "I am Wang Lei, who is the responsible official who escorted the grain!"

Chen Gong was surprised, but he didn't expect Wang Lei to come in person.

However, after thinking about it, I feel relieved. This batch of grain is related to the fate of Jizhou, and Wang Lei must pay close attention to it.

Chen Gong bowed and said, "I have met Wangzhou's master in the lower Chen Gong!"

Wang Lei was surprised. Unexpectedly, he met Chen Gong and bowed: "You are Chen Gongtai!"

Chen Gong said: "Does Wangzhou Mu know Chen Gong too?"

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Mr. Chen is a famous scholar in Yanzhou, and Lei knows a little about it!"

Chen Gong felt a little fluttering in his heart. Even Wang Lei, a famous person, knew him. It seemed that his fame was still good. Chen Gong became more alert. Since Wang Lei knew him, his eyes must have also fallen in Yanzhou. Cao Cao was paying attention to the situation in Jizhou. Why didn’t Wang Lei always pay attention to the changes in Yanzhou?

After a change of the topic, Chen Gong said: "Mrs. Wangzhou, the lord asked me to send me a total of 30,000 stones of grain. This batch of grain was temporarily lent to the Muslim to overcome the difficulties. When the food is harvested next year, the Muslim of Wangzhou will have to return it to the lord!"

Wang Lei said: "This is natural, Brother Gongtai, please!"

"Please!" Chen Gong waved his hand and ordered the team escorting the food to continue moving forward.

The group continued to rush forward. After leaving Neihuang County, they entered Ye County. The army returned to the county town of Ye County, and the grain was put into storage. Wang Lei held a banquet at the provincial governor's office to entertain Chen Gong, and then began to prepare for the fight against Yuan Shao and Guan Hai.
