Chapter 38

According to Yang Xiu's thinking, it is the easiest thing to get rid of people directly.

Wanting Cao Zhi to replace Cao Ang is hard as hell, because the job is too easy, just go there and stay there.

As long as you are not afraid, Soochow will not call directly.

There is basically no chance of making mistakes, and meritorious service can be achieved by doing nothing. How can this be replaced?

Yang Xiu couldn't even think of any tricks to show off. It would be very dangerous to play tricks in front of Cao Cao. It would be fine if he was a not very shrewd lord. Who would dare to fool Cao Cao.

"Dezu, please tell me, what you want is simple and effective."

"My lord, grain and grass are the lifeblood of a military family, and the eldest son is so far away, there may be accidents during the journey, so it is normal for any accidents on the way..."

Play tricks on food and grass, work hard!
Of course, you can’t directly cut off the food and grass. If you don’t give the food and grass if you don’t give it, then Cao Cao will cut you down directly.

After Yang Xiu said this, he looked outside the door, and then picked up a pen to write.

While he was writing, Cao Zhi was watching from the side, his face was uncertain, and he didn't know what expression it was.

After a while, Cao Zhi nodded slightly: "Let Dezu do it!"

……

As for Cao Ang in Chibi, he didn't know that so many people were thinking about him.

In his previous life, he was unknown. After arriving here, no one cared about him in the first 11 years. Everyone thought that Cao Ang was dead. Who still cared about a dead person.

But now, he is in this position, so many powerful heroes in the world miss him!

The camp to accommodate Cao Cao's army has been built and has not been affected by Soochow.

According to Jia Xu's intention, Cai Mao fought wits and courage with Lu Meng on the opposite side of the river, but the opposite side was also frightened and increased his troops.

"Sir, Lu Meng seems to have added several thousand people, but these few thousand people don't seem to have strong combat effectiveness."

"That must be the recruited brave, miscellaneous soldiers."

Jia Xu actually guessed, "Wouldn't it be better, Eldest Young Master, he's just trying to build up his prestige."

Indeed, there are idlers on the other side to deter the other side, which shows that Cai Mao's feint attack is very effective.

"If this goes on, my credit is too easy to get."

Cao Ang really felt relaxed. Cai Mao was fighting on the river, and the construction of the water village had nothing to do with him.

You don't need to do anything, just lie flat in the tent all day...

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "You really think it's so simple?"

Cao Ang began to feel uneasy when he heard what he said: "Sir, what do you mean by this, I don't know what you mean when you say that."

As soon as the voice fell, guards came in and reported to Cao Ang.

"My lord, Zhang Yun is back..."

"Come back and tell me something, and send it directly to the construction site."

On this trip, Zhang Yun escorted the materials behind. There were materials needed for the construction site, and of course more food and grass for the 10 horses. Basically, Cao Ang didn't need to take care of these things.

But after saying this, Cao Ang instinctively felt something was wrong.

If nothing happened, the guards would not come to inform him, because these people would do it themselves.

"Is something wrong with Zhang Yun?"

"Master, Zhang Yun...was robbed on the road."

Cao Ang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't realize what happened at this moment, but Jia Xu smiled slightly.

In Jia Xu's view, it would be strange if nothing happened. This was a test for Cao Ang, or it was easy and difficult.

"Where are Zhang Yun and others, where are they?"

"Outside, with a dozen of his remaining men."

"What, they were beaten down to only a dozen people?"

"My lord, do you want him to come in and tell you in person?"

At this moment, Cao Ang's mind calmed down. He thought about it carefully, but he didn't answer.

The army that can rob Zhang Yun must be the Soochow Army, and the others don't have the strength, and it is obviously a bit impossible to block the river and rob goods along their way.

Soochow army dare to go so deep?

Also, although Zhang Yun's troops escorted the transport, their actions were all classified.

How could the Soochow Army move without anyone noticing such a large-scale mobilization?

That's too nonsense, don't think that Cao Jun has no spies, it is impossible for large-scale mobilization to go unnoticed.

But now that it has been robbed, it is meaningless to think about it for the time being, what should be thought about is how to deal with it.

This trip is accompanied by food and grass needed by a hundred thousand troops. If they don't come, what will these people eat?
"I'm going to see him, is he outside?"

Just finished speaking, before the guard could answer, Cao Ang rushed out first.

As soon as he came out, he saw Zhang Yun waiting outside, with Wenpin standing beside him.

As soon as Zhang Yun saw Cao Ang, he immediately rushed over and knelt on the ground: "My lord, our trip..."

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he was picked up by Cao Ang.

"Shut up! Don't talk about you, or I will kill you!"

Zhang Yun was frightened, he held back the words he had just thought up, and was at a loss.

Cao Ang looked to the side, besides the soldiers brought back by Zhang Yun, there were also his own guards, and several subordinates of Wenpin.

"Zhang Yun, when you go back to the camp, who else saw it?"

"This...just the patrol teams, I didn't delay, I came directly to report to the young master."

"Okay, your people will not be in contact with other people for the time being, you know, and, what happened during your trip, you are not allowed to reveal a word!"

"what?"

Zhang Yun didn't understand, he lost his supplies and made the [-] troops deprived of food and grass, should he be beheaded?

The beheading is also admitted, his family is still under Cao Cao, but what does it mean that Cao Ang refuses to say it?
Cao Ang ignored him, and said to Wenpin, "General Wenpin."

"The end is here!"

"You isolate all those who have been in contact with Zhang Yun and his party, and you are not allowed to talk to other people."

"General Zhonglang, what is the meaning of this?"

"Don't worry too much about it, but don't be violent. Think of a reason for those people. Anyone who has seen Zhang Yun and his party will be isolated in a camp alone for the time being. Hurry up!"

Seeing that Cao Ang spoke in a hurry, Wen Pin didn't think about anything else, so he hurriedly saluted and went to execute it.

Cao Ang shouted from behind: "Remember, anyone who knows that Zhang Yun has been robbed must be quarantined!"

Fortunately, not many people knew about it. Cao Ang's heart was raised in his throat, and blocking the news was the only thing to do.

Needless to say, the importance of food and grass to the morale of the army, how much loyalty the army has these days does not need to be reported, why did Cao Cao kill Yang Xiu, and why Cao Cao used the head of the quartermaster to stabilize the morale of the army.

In a word, when you are a soldier, you get paid, no matter what your excuses are, what you eat is this bowl of rice.

If they knew that the food and grass were gone, I'm afraid this army would not be able to maintain it!

Maybe the people under Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Wenpin can be firm, but most of the so-called [-] troops are civilian men and boatmen.

As long as those people are in chaos, Cao Ang doesn't have to think about anything else, just get on his horse and run away.

He was not in a stable mood, and he was in a mess, but at this moment, Jia Xu behind nodded and smiled.

The eldest son is good, and he handles things in a very orderly manner.
