Chapter seven hundred and thirty eight: robbery

"Fengxiao, the Wuling Army has many cavalry, and this move is like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth."

Cao Cao was worried about robbing Wuling Army's food. The Wuling Army had nearly 80,000 cavalrymen, and in the Zhongmu Changshe generation, it was already the world of Wuling Army.

"Lord, it's because of this that you have a chance!" Guo Jia said.

"Send an isolated army deep into the rear of the Wuling Army to rob grain, which is a big inappropriate move." Xun You disagreed with Guo Jia's opinion.

There are so many people from the Wuling Army, should you come back if you go?

"Don't be anxious. Because the Wuling army has many cavalry, Wu Shun thought that the rear was as solid as a god, and he would inevitably relax his vigilance. In this way, he would have the opportunity to rob grain. Once successful, it would not only solve the cost of our army, but also attack the morale of the Wuling army. This is a way to kill two birds with one stone." Guo Jia explained.

Although it is a bit risky, as Guo Jia said, it is not without a chance to rob the food.

Now Cao's army is at a disadvantage. Wuling army has always been strong and too strong. The strongest part is also his weakness.

Caught robbery is an attack. Whether to go or not is still a decision, Cao Cao still has to decide. As a counselor, Xun You can only provide advice, and Cao Cao also needs to get the decision himself.

Xun You could not object to Guo Jia's words. Cao's army was indeed short of food, and Cao Cao had ordered a few times, but Chen Yu was unable to transport the food and grass.

If you can’t even eat enough, how can you fight this battle?

"Where is Cao Hong?" Cao Cao said.

"The last one will be here!" Cao Hong left the list.

"I ordered you to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry and wait for an opportunity to go out to rob food in the enemy's rear!" Cao Cao ordered.

"The last general will take the order!" Cao Hong bowed and went straight to mobilize.

To go to the rear of Wuling Army to rob grain, soldiers with courage need to rob grain, because those who rob grain will be no different from dead soldiers.

"All the military rations detained by the soldiers were returned to Liu Bei. Alas, I'll go and talk to him..." Cao Cao was tired.

It seems that the Cao army has a serious shortage of food, otherwise how could the Cao army, who has strict military discipline, do such a thing?

"Master, just let me continue!" Xun You said.

He was Cao Cao's confidant, so he apologized to Liu Bei, and his weight was enough.

"No, I'll go in person." Cao Cao said.

Now is a special period, so you can't get rid of Liu Bei. Cao Cao felt that he was the only one who seemed to have a lot of weight.

...

In the Xuzhou Army camp, Zhang Fei had been waiting in the big tent. When he saw Liu Bei and Guan Yu coming back, he asked quickly:

"Big brother, second brother, what do Cao Cao say?"

"Third brother, don't call the prime minister's name..." Liu Bei blamed him a little.

Zhang Fei is also used to being careless. This is on Cao Cao's territory. He called Cao Cao so famous, which is disrespectful to Cao Cao. Although Zhang Fei had never respected Cao Cao in advance, he still had to do the same thing on his appearance.

"Oh, second brother, will Cao Cao return our food and grass?" Liu Bei did not answer, and Zhang Fei grabbed Guan Yu and asked again.

"Third brother, Cao Cao didn't say he wanted to return it!"

Guan Yu was loyal and righteous, and arrogant. Cao Cao did not express his opinion on the spot, so he told the truth.

Guan Yu disdains to think about the twists and turns of such a mute fan because it is too much trouble.

"Ah! It's outrageous! When I kill into Cao's camp, I will grab the food and grass back!" After hearing Guan Yu say this, Zhang Fei was furious and clamored to kill into Cao's camp.

"General Zhang Fei calmed down. Cao was not strict in his command. He asked the people below to detain the military food and supplies, and now all of them have been sent back!"

Outside the tent, Cao Cao's voice came. Liu Bei hurriedly took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came out to greet him.

"Prime Minister, Yide has no intention of offending, so please atone for his sins." Liu Bei said.

Zhang Fei's words just now were indeed a little bolder. Fortunately, Cao Cao came to apologize, and Zhang Fei shouted so loudly, which just gave Cao Cao the opportunity to show off.

"Yi De is a person with a temperament, let alone the fact that our soldiers were wrong first. I came here to express my apology to Xuande." Cao Cao bowed.

"I dare not, if the Prime Minister is short of food, there is still surplus in our army, so I can offer it to the Prime Minister." Liu Bei said.

"Thank you, Xuande, but no need, our army has solved the problem of food and grass." Cao Cao wanted this batch of food and grass in his heart, but in order to unite Liu Bei, he could not ask for it.

"This is almost the same..." Zhang Fei muttered from the side.

"Hahaha, the military rations have been delivered. I will go back to the camp first. The Wuling army is not doing the same thing, and Xuande needs to pay more attention." Before leaving, Cao Cao ordered.

"Liu Bei must pay attention and not allow the Wuling Army to take advantage of the opportunity!" Liu Bei bowed.

...

"Cao Cao still has some conscience!" After Cao Cao left, Zhang Fei's resentment became much smaller because he took the initiative to return the military rations.

"Brother, Cao Cao's military rations are in urgent need, how can he continue to fight with the Wuling Army?" Guan Yu asked.

Before the troops moved, food and grass came first! Cao Cao was short of food now, and this war of attrition was lost by Cao's army.

In the next battle, it would be difficult for Cao's army to regain the situation, and Guan Yu was a little unfavorable to Cao Cao.

"Chief Yun, Cao's army's shortage of food is only temporary, and there will always be a solution." Liu Bei said.

Liu Bei didn't want to talk about the direction of this war. What he wanted to do was to help Cao Cao resist Wu Shun.

Only in this way can he, Liu Bei, have a chance to breathe and his ambitions in his heart have a chance to display.

...

That night, two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, led by Cao Ren, secretly left the camp and headed towards the Wuling Army. Cao's plan to rob grain had already begun.

Coincidentally, the next day, the Wuling Army happened to have a batch of military rations to be transported.

It can be seen from this that Cao Jun did a good job in intelligence work.

The purpose of dispatching the tiger and leopard cavalry is to increase the success rate! The robbery of food and skills to attack the morale of the Wuling army and affect their fighting spirit. It is really a good thing to win multiple goals in one fell swoop.

It would be easy for two thousand tigers and leopard cavalry to rob the next grain transport team.

Wu Shun was indeed too at ease with his rear as Guo Jia expected. None of the three cavalrymen reacted immediately.

When the news of the robbery of food and grass came, Wei Yan and Ma Chao led their troops to chase them, but it was too late.

"Lord, the last generals cannot catch up with you, please punish me!" Wei Yan and Ma Chao apologized in front of Wu Shun.

The robbery of military rations has something to do with them. Because the Qinglong Legion and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were both stationed outside the city, threatening the Cao army, and were also responsible for the warning of the front line of Zhongmu, Changshe.

Under this situation, the military rations were robbed by the Cao army's tiger and leopard cavalry, which was undoubtedly slapped these two generals in the face!

"Click the troops and kill Cao's camp!"

If Cao Cao dares to rob the grain, Wu Shun must react! Since he can't catch up, he will directly attack your camp!

"The last general obeys the order!" The generals of the Wuling Army replied.

"Lord, chance!"

The generals all went to prepare, and Xu Shucai said this to Wu Shun.

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Wu Shun was a little confused.

"Lord, this is a great opportunity to get rid of the Xuzhou army." Xu Shu said.

"Yuan Zhi said it in detail!" Wu Shun also became interested when he heard that he could get rid of the Xuzhou army.

He ordered the attack on Cao's camp just to respond to the robbery of food, and he was not really going to fight to the death.

"Cao army robbed food, and the lord raised anger and attacked Cao's camp. After Liu Bei received the news, he would definitely support Cao Cao..." Xu Shu said slowly.
