Chapter 52

At this moment, Lu Meng couldn't believe it, he really couldn't think of anyone who could mess with him.

In Jiangdong's territory, there are still people who dare to steal his camp. After much deliberation, the only one on the opposite side is Cao Ang.

"Ask again, what's going on!"

"General, there is a banner saying that someone is going to burn our food and grass..."

Lu Meng fell down on the deck in an instant, his mood was very bad, it's over, I'm afraid this is a trick!
But what kind of trick was caught, he couldn't think of it for a moment, the direction of the camp was already full of flames, and it might be useless to go back at this time, he was thinking quickly.

The most likely cause of all this is Cao Ang on the river!

But he couldn't believe that Cao Cao's eldest son was so powerful that he could trick him out!

You must know that the news from Cao Ang's army was sent by someone sent by Zhou Yu, and it was obviously reliable news that Jiang Dong had inquired about.

If Cao Ang can even count this, then it is very likely that he even found out the secret operations of his own army and used them. This is something a general with a high IQ can think of.

Thinking of this, Lu Meng suddenly stood up, and the soldier beside him asked, "General, do you want to come back immediately?"

"No, tell the camp to avoid the sharp edge, if they want to burn it, just burn it!"

"General!"

"That's it, let's put the flag on, it's too late for us to go back now, but the governor will not let us go hungry."

"promise!"

Lu Meng knew in his heart that if the food and grass were gone, they would not be able to hold on, but the 10 people hoarding here in Soochow was like a sharp edge, and they couldn't sleep no matter what.

So it is impossible for Zhou Yu to give up this place, and the food and grass will still be delivered.

After giving orders to the soldiers, Lu Meng walked to the bow of the boat and shouted at Cao Ang's biography: "Cao Ang, is this your plan?"

"It's not a strategy, it's more or less a credit to defeat you."

"Victory? Hehe, Cao Ang, you and I haven't really confronted each other, how can we talk about victory?"

"Anyway, you were also driven away by me. What is this victory?"

"It's a joke, burn it as soon as you burn it, this is the boundary of Soochow Wu, trying to force me away!"

Cao Ang on the opposite boat was very annoying, he couldn't catch up, and he talked annoyed, but Lu Meng couldn't do anything about him.

Cao Ang began to smirk again: "Hahaha... Ziming, you're just wishful thinking. Don't you know what the impact will be if you don't have food and grass? Maybe you can't beat my four boats!"

While speaking, Cao Ang waved to the sailors on board, obviously this was a routine that had been prepared long ago.

In an instant, the boatmen and soldiers on Cao Ang's side all shouted in unison.

"The food and grass of the Soochow Army have been burned, and they can't last long!"

"The food and grass of the Soochow Army have been burned!"

"General Zhonglang is mighty and has sent people to burn their food and grass!"

Immediately, Cao Ang's morale was boosted, as if they had the upper hand.

It was indeed an advantage, the shout had immediate effect, and several of Lu Meng's boats stopped chasing.

At this time, Lu Meng knew that it was too difficult to intercept Cao Ang, and there was no way for the troops to disperse under such circumstances.

"Withdraw, all fleets return immediately!"

Not caring about anything else, Lu Meng immediately took his elite back to rescue his camp.

So at this time, he will not delay with Cao Ang for too long. No matter what Cao Ang says, he has to go back and have a look.

Cao Ang immediately ordered the four boats to stop, but they failed to keep up with Lu Meng's fleet, and there were not enough men on his boat.

"Let's go back too!"

Compared with Lu Meng, Cao Ang didn't need to chase after him. His four boats couldn't do much at all.

Cheng Yu knew Cao Ang's general plan, so he didn't say a word at this time. He knew that Cao Ang's real purpose was food and grass.

It is impossible to count on this sneak attack, and it is impossible to steal it at all, so... what Cao Ang is counting on is Zhou Yu's support to Chibi!

The Eldest Young Master's plan was much more complicated, and Cheng Yu was shocked by such a huge scheme.

"Sir, next, it's up to Wenpin."

"Do my best and obey the fate, I can't count everything."

"Now all my ideas must be executed by good generals. I hope that general Wenpin can achieve results."

Now, Lu Meng's troops are more urgent than Cao Ang's. As long as Cai Mao is completely burned, they will either retreat immediately, or they will have to mobilize food and grass in a timely manner.

Cao Ang's idea seems to be no problem, and how it is executed depends entirely on God's will.

……

The confrontation on the river is just a show, and the real action is Cai Mao's troops.

Cai Mao raided Lv Meng's camp with thousands of people, and this time he achieved great success. The people Lv Meng left to guard the camp were not elite at all.

In addition, Lu Meng himself was not in the camp, so the guarding troops had no fighting spirit.

The camp was easily breached by Cai Mao, and they didn't even expect someone to make a surprise attack like this, so they were driven straight in by Cai Mao.

Cai Mao didn't bother with them too much. After some elite soldiers rushed into the camp, they went straight to the grain and grass, and directly lit the grain and grass with the kindling they had prepared long ago.

This time it was completely burnt, Cai Mao's troops were indeed agile, after all they were the elite guarding Jingzhou for many years.

As soon as the blow was successful, Cai Mao immediately retreated back with his people.

When Lu Meng returned, there were only ruins and the flames that were not completely extinguished.

Lu Meng rushed back to the camp, looking very regretful at the mess, and the guards he left behind were also caught off guard.

"General, I never thought that those Jingzhou soldiers would make a surprise attack at this time..."

"How about the food and grass, how much can be left?"

"Food and grass... General, I'm afraid we have to report to the governor immediately and ask him to send some food and grass immediately, otherwise..."

"what!"

Cai Mao burned it so cleanly, and now he is better, he is more anxious than Cao Ang.

Cao Ang could last for a few days at least, so he had to retreat immediately, or ask Zhou Yu to bring food and grass over urgently.

That Cao Zixiu is not easy...

He knew that Cao Cao was difficult to deal with. He knew that the several beautiful battles he fought to unify the Central Plains were famous all over the world. Of course Lu Meng knew that Cao Cao was wise and decisive, but he didn't expect Cao Cao's son to be so brilliant.

"Then how many people from the Jingzhou Navy came?"

"About... there are a few thousand, and the subordinates have never seen it clearly. They are all Cai Mao's troops."

"You...you can't even keep the camp, what should you do!"

"General calm down, it's because the subordinates are incompetent, but the most urgent thing is how to solve the food and grass issue!"

Of course Lu Meng knew, but it was obviously not possible to go back like this, and it would be embarrassing for someone to tell Zhou Yu to add food and grass.

Anyway, he was beaten like this, because he was not good enough as a general, and he was completely blown away by Cao Ang.

"I'll take care of the matter of food and grass, and let your subordinates repair the camp, don't be negligent!"

"Here!"

Asking Zhou Yu for help is also very important, Lu Meng decided to send his cronies there, and no longer trust this group of miscellaneous troops.

Originally, this group of miscellaneous troops only supported the number of people, so they couldn't expect too much.
