270 Stealing grain, deducting military grain privately

At noon on February 2, 185, he left Wuwei City and the convoy transporting food and grass marched slowly towards Jincheng County.

From the moment he left Wuwei City, the huge convoy immediately attracted the attention of all interested people. 500 baggage vehicles, 20,000 stone of grain, Pang De, a famous historical general in Liangzhou, 1,000 level 60 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and 3,000 level 70 level 70 spear and armor soldiers, each factor can easily become a topic of talk about by players.

The players in the villages along the way were somewhat concerned about the Liangzhou government army. Although they had some fantasies about this huge wealth, they did not dare to put it into practice to rob the food and grass. Without the military strength of 50,000 or 60,000 players, they would not be able to eat this piece of fat meat.

Not to mention who can organize so many troops, even if he can defeat the powerful NPC grain protection army, there must be villages that bear the losses of the war. The villages that rushed to the front will suffer the most losses. Not only will they not be able to grab the food, but they will decline and be cheaper later.

Which village is willing to be this one?

No.

Many player villages have sent several cavalry to follow this huge grain team to see if there is a chance to get benefits. Experienced players are waiting for other unsustainable player villages to take action to grab food first, and then they will wait for an opportunity to mobilize their troops to attack and grab food.

......

The grain team walked eastward for fifty or sixty miles, and the undercurrent was surging, but it was quite stable on the surface. Occasionally, some minor troubles were encountered, and the players escorted the grain team were easily eliminated, and there was no need for NPC to take action.

The villages along the way were very cautious and had no abnormal movements. They just sent a large number of spies to follow the food team.

Passing through a big mountain village, the NPC boss in the mountain village is not as timid as the players. When the boss heard a huge grain team passing by the mountain, he immediately excitedly pulled up more than 2,000 level 30 thieves, level 40 thieves, and level 50 thieves in the village, blocking the road and robbing them.

When the food protection players saw this huge bandit's intercepting grain, they did not want to suffer major losses. They immediately retreated and handed it over to the NPC army to deal with it.

Cheng Qiu, the highest commander of the grain transport team, was furious when he saw the bandits intercepting grain. He immediately ordered 3,000 level 70-level genocide soldiers to kill the bandits. "Kill me, kill these robbers who are ignorant of the world."

The first food war broke out on the road to transport grain.

Players and spies from various villages in Liangzhou were fortunate to see the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou government army with their own eyes, and they changed color slightly.

3,000 Grim and Armored soldiers charged, and more than 2,000 bandits were completely defeated. They were massacred and chased. The mountains and fields were filled with panic-fighting bandits and Liangzhou government troops. After more than half of the bandits were killed or injured, the leader of the village led the remaining soldiers and the gangsters to flee back to the village in a panic. The Grim and Armored soldiers almost died.

Cheng Qiu was obviously extremely proud of his "superior" command. He showed off to the NPCs around him, looked at Pang De provocatively not far away, and then smiled proudly at Zhan Xiaobai, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Zhan Xiaobai nodded secretly. This was a battle without any technical content, but it fully demonstrated the strength of the Liangzhou government army. It is not something that players can easily deal with for the time being.

No player even dared to take advantage of the bandits' robbery to make trouble - because the 1,000 well-equipped Xiliang Iron Cavalry next to NPC Ponder remained unmoved, and their combat power was only stronger than that of the G-Shield Armored Soldiers, and had a strong deterrent power.

It is afraid it will be difficult to force food.

.........

At half a night at sunset, Cheng Qiu ordered the camp to set up a camp. The grain team found a wilderness with a wide view and built a simple camp. The npc army was on the inside to guard the baggage truck. The player army was on the outside and took on the periphery alert.

Cheng Qiu is not an idiot at home, so he didn't hand over all the alert tasks to the players. He personally arranged some reconnaissance and guards and spread them around the camp.

The entire army of NPC soldiers burned fire and cooked.

The players' NPC troops are all responsible for their own food and are separated from the Liangzhou government forces.

For the absolute safety of his troops, Zhan Xiaobai ordered to be stationed next to the Pang De cavalry camp.

While cooking, I vaguely heard the sound of throwing bowls and scolding from time to time in Pang De's cavalry camp, "Damn Cheng Qiu, each person only gave 3 kilograms of food. Half of my food was deducted, and all of it was given to this damn dog official! I'll peel him sooner or later!"

Zhan Xiaobai shook his head secretly. Cheng Qiu was greedy for money and military rations. This was a bit too much. Deducting military rations and filling his personal pockets will definitely lead to a depressed morale and a decrease in combat effectiveness of the NPC army. If the task cannot be completed, hey, there will be a good show.

However, this doesn't matter to him.

......

Most of the more than thirty players escorting food and grass were secretly trying to get a baggage truck.

Although they applied for the task of escorting food and grass, there was no game rule that they could not transform into robbers or thieves.

The punishment after the mission failed is 1 merit and 1 gold. This batch of supplies, food and food are of great value and more attractive.

Moreover, their current identity is very convenient for them to rob and steal food and grass at any time. The biggest concern is that the NPC army led by Pang De. This guy is too famous and is not comparable to ordinary NPC minions. If he fails to steal a chicken, he will be funny.

In addition, they could not trust each other. Even though most of them were interested in robbing food and grass, they were just a few familiar players who secretly discussed it and did not dare to reveal it to other players at will.

During the evening break, several food-protecting players gathered together in the camp sneakily.

"In the middle of the night tonight, we secretly brought the baggage truck out of the camp. How about it? I have asked several of my friends to pick me up outside, and it is foolproof."

"As long as other players don't interfere, they should be able to do it. However, NPC is very tight to the baggage truck and doesn't let us get close at will!"

"Actually, NPC is easy to fool. Even if we lose the baggage truck, Cheng Qiu's idiot probably won't find anything, and he can't do anything to us. What I worry most is Xiaobai. If he wants to mess with us, he is afraid that we won't get the food..."

"Yes, Xiaobai's attitude is very obscure. On the way, I deliberately tried him with the verbal verbs several times, but I didn't let him out."

"What did you say?"

"I asked him: 'Is Xiaobai Town short of food? Should brothers find ways to get some food and grass from other places to sell it to Xiaobai Town? Where you need brothers' help, just talk!'"

"What did he say?"

"He said: 'No shortage for the time being, but there is no harm in the amount of food and grass. Thank you!'. Hey~, what do you mean by saying that he is actually very interested in this batch of food and grass, but it's hard to say it?"

"That's right, no one wants the benefits, and Xiaobai will be no exception. I guess, as long as he gets a benefit, he won't deliberately make things difficult for us. Let's just pull him like a group. If Xiaobai is willing to do this business, other people will definitely join in. Let's work together and use a few methods to transport the baggage cart god away without knowing it. It's a piece of cake. Everyone has divided the benefits."

"good!"

"That's what it should be done!"

After several players discussed, they decided to pull Zhan Xiaobai into the water so that they could let go of their hands and feet to steal food, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve great things. When they came to Zhan Xiaobai's tent, they found that there were already many players inside, and they seemed to be discussing some important matters with Zhan Xiaobai.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Zhan Xiaobai smiled, "Please sit down, everyone, everyone continue!"

Several people sat down separately and heard what they were discussing. When these players heard this, they realized that they were discussing how to get away with food without knowing it. The NPCs were too tight to steal all the supplies vans in one breath. At most, more than ten were stolen in one night. Moreover, the supplies vans had too big targets, so they were stolen. Tomorrow, the NPCs woke up and found that there were so many supplies vans missing. That would be not furious.

So you only steal food, not car.

However, it is not enough to steal grain. Once the supplies truck is light, the tire traces will be different from other cars. NPCs will also easily find that the food in the car is stolen. All the traces must be covered up and avoid being discovered by NPCs as much as possible, so that they can continue to steal food later.

Zhan Xiaobai thought for a while and said, "In fact, it would be simple if the food was stolen."

He gave a very simple idea, and the players' eyes lit up and praised them.

As for how the stolen grain is distributed, it is calculated based on the NPC forces and strength ratios that everyone has carried. There are more than 30 grain-protecting players in total, and Zhan Xiaobai exclusively 500, and they are all the Western Liang Iron Cavalry with strong combat power. So he gets 30% of the grain, and others don’t have much objection, so they divide the remaining part.

Among these 30 players, some are village chief players, and the other are free players. Free players steal food not for their own use, but most of them are sold to the market to sell copper coins, buy equipment, and buy soldiers.

Zhan Xiaobai purchased the stolen food from this part of free players, and in this way, he eventually obtained about 57% of the stolen food.

......

That night, under the nose of NPC, the food protection players boldly implemented the food stealing plan.

The internal and external contacts stole nearly ten trucks of 400 stones of food. The stolen food was quickly transported away and disappeared without a trace. Even if the NPC wanted to investigate, it would not be possible.

The next morning, Cheng Qiu did not notice any abnormalities in the food and grass, and continued to escort the grass and supplies truck on the road.

Cheng Qiu rode a horse, Fei Dun's body, and squinted his eyes. "Mr. Xiaobai, there seemed to be rumors in the army that shook the morale of the army last night, which encouraged the soldiers to cause trouble. Please don't believe it. I have always been honest and all the military rations are distributed in full. As for who is doing the deduction of military rations, I don't know."

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "Oh, is this happening? Why didn't I hear this rumor? Rumors are absolutely not trustworthy, they all end up with wise men. Lord Cheng is an honest official, I believe it will not."

Cheng Qiu immediately laughed, "By the way, sir, I have been in charge of Xiaobai Town for a long time, I don't know if I have shortage of food?"

Zhan Xiaobai was slightly stunned. What does this fat man mean?

He said: "Next."

Cheng Qiu immediately said: "I have a brother who is a grain merchant who specializes in transferring grain from various places to Liangzhou for sale. The price is cheap and only costs 1,000 copper per stone. Xiaguan Zheng can introduce it to the adults. I wonder what the adults want?"

Zhan Xiaobai suddenly realized that the fat man withdrew some of the military rations, and then wanted to sell the grain for money. He couldn't find the buyer for a while, so he wanted to see if he wanted this batch of grain in Xiaobai Town. It was so good that he was born with a corrupt official.

Zhan Xiaobai pretended to be surprised and said, "My town is short of food. I also asked Lord Cheng's brother to quickly transport the food and grass to Xiaobai Town. The cost is not bad."

Cheng Qiu was satisfied and turned his horse's head and told his "grain merchant brothers" to arrange for him.

The entire grain team was covered with only one hand, and no one dared to stop him from doing anything he wanted. He directly intercepted 50 baggage trucks, and sold grain and gave them to Zhan Xiaobai in the name of supporting friendly forces. The price was 1,500 jin, which was quite cheap.

Because from Wuwei City to Jincheng County, you have to pass by Xiaobai Town. Therefore, the batch of supplies trucks purchased by Zhan Xiaobai followed the brigade. When passing by Xiaobai Town, you can just send the supplies trucks into the town, without even extra protection.

As for how Cheng Qiu explained to Geng Bi that he had 50 cars of military rations after he arrived at the border battlefield, he didn't have to worry too much. Cheng Qiu's excuses were that he was too expensive on the road, was robbed by thieves, and stolen privately... The money was in his own pocket, and everything was easy to say.

After only two days of trouble, the military rations escorted were more than one-tenth less.
