Chapter 53

Cao Ang returned to the camp with four boats. After waiting for less than half a day, Cai Mao also came back.

Cai Mao's landing force of thousands of people moved very swiftly. Presumably those who stayed in Lu Meng's camp were not elite troops, and were successfully broken through by Lu Meng.

According to Cao Ang's vision, it doesn't take long, it has to be fast.

If it becomes a stalemate, then Cai Mao will have to retreat, and Lu Meng, who is returning to aid, will pinch him.

"My lord, fortunately I didn't disgrace my life, I burned all the food and grass in Lu Meng's camp!"

When Cai Mao came to Cao Ang to return to his command, he looked quite proud.

Cao Ang nodded slowly: "This time I remember one of your great achievements, and another thing, you go and take Zhang Yun down."

"What, Eldest Young Master..."

"By the way, after taking it down, it will be locked in the camp, and no one will be allowed to see it. A dozen of his subordinates will also be arrested."

"Why is this?"

"Don't ask why, you will naturally know in the future, why, this is your old friend who doesn't want to catch him for many years?"

"This... Eldest Young Master, this subordinate will do it now!"

What else can Cai Hao say, he can only grit his teeth and execute it. His hopes are all placed on Cao Ang. Cao Ang will be his backer in the future, and he has made some achievements now.

It is true that Zhang Yun did not bring Cai Mao together, and it is not easy for everyone to talk about such a big matter.

It was because Wenpin was treated like that that Zhang Yun had the courage to win him over, so now Cai Mao doesn't quite understand what's going on, he only guesses that someone leaked the news.

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Ang from the side, kept nodding slightly, and only asked after seeing Cai Mao go out.

"My lord, do you want to find out who is behind the scenes?"

"No, you don't need to ask about this kind of thing. Just leave it to your father when you go back. I don't want to ask."

That's right, why are you asking.

It's fine if Zhang Yun doesn't say anything, if he said it, wouldn't it be more embarrassing.

If such a serious matter happened, Cao Cao would definitely be furious, but can he be expected to do anything to Cao Zhi?

Cao Ang didn't know, but based on his understanding of Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao did something to Cao Zhi, he would not benefit himself, so let Cao Cao struggle with it.

Cao Ang put on a high posture without asking himself, Cao Cao will be satisfied with him.

"The grain and grass of Soochow..."

"Food, they will deliver it by themselves, and it will be in just one or two days!"

……

Not long after Lu Meng returned to the camp, he rode out of the camp on a fast horse and headed towards Xiakou.

Xiakou is not far from Chibi, so information can be transmitted in time, and food and grass can be delivered within a day in an emergency.

The fast horse passed a mountain col, and Wenpin on the mountain saw this scene.

He landed here with more than 1 people. In addition to the elite [-] from the headquarters, there are also tens of thousands of civilian husbands.

These people were all used to carry grain and grass. Seeing the sentry passing by, he knew that the time was coming.

"Everyone is ready, listen to my order, and don't make any noise."

Wenpin ordered lightly, "When the grain and grass of the Eastern Wu Dynasty arrive here, we just repel the escorting soldiers and horses, and then let people carry the grain and grass away, do you understand?"

"understand!"

It is his 3000 men who are going to fight, and these 3000 men are the elite who have been trained all the year round.

It doesn't matter to the folks who carry it, as long as they have strength, they all lie in ambush on the mountain, waiting for Wenpin's order.

Sure enough, less than two hours after the whistle passed, a carriage drove up.

"General, this is the convoy transporting grain and grass, do you want to do it?"

Wenpin glanced at it, then shook his head immediately: "Everyone is calm, this amount of food and grass is not enough at all, it must have been transported temporarily, we will wait."

There were not many sent in this batch, and it seemed to be an emergency.

And in Xiakou, there should be more than this amount of food and grass. Jiangdong is a land of fish and rice, and there are not many troops to support, so it must be very sufficient, at least the pressure is much less than that of Cao Cao.

It must be a temporary emergency if it can be shipped out so quickly. Zhou Yu made the move first in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

This amount of food and grass is not even enough for thousands of people to live a day.

Of course, it will take some time to mobilize enough food and grass. Zhou Yu should not be stingy. If there is not enough food and grass, the morale of the army will be unstable, especially for the newly defeated army, which needs stability even more.

I continued to wait until [-] o'clock in the evening, and sure enough, a larger food transport team came.

Wenpin took a rough look at the food and grass team on the mountain, and nodded slightly, feeling a little turbulent in his heart.

It's not that he was so excited about grabbing food and grass, but that Cao Ang shocked him too much.

The eldest son is really a man of gods, knowing that it is easiest to rob grain and grass halfway. At this time, the convoy transporting grain and grass in Soochow did not have many troops to escort them.

They never dreamed that Cao Ang was thinking about these grains.

Because of his personal participation in this matter, Wenpin's view of Cao Ang changed drastically.

To be honest, there are probably not many people in the world who can use such a strategy. This move is simply a stroke of genius, and the loss is small and the gain is big.

Of course, this food and grass is not enough to support 10 people for a long time, but it can withstand the time of Cao Cao raising food and grass.

"General?"

"Let's go prepare. According to our previous plan, the people we bring will also prepare to transport the food, and we will directly bring the food and grass onto the boat. Don't make any further stops!"

Wenpin waved his hand and ordered to ambush here. How to fight was planned from the beginning.

The 3000 men under him were divided into several roads. Wenpin led 1000 people to intercept directly, and another 1000 people had to block the road behind.

Each of these people pulled out their ring-head knives and quietly got ready on the col.

Seeing that his people were in place, Wenpin only stared at the team delivering grain and grass, seeing that the time was ripe, he immediately sent out a whistle.

The whistle sounded as an order, and Wenpin's troops rushed down the hillside with lightning speed.

Wenpin took the lead, and the Soochow general who escorted the food and grass did not even have time to react, and Wenpin rushed up and beheaded him!

"Quickly solve it, let someone come up and carry it!"

While talking, he continued to behead and kill. The troops who were temporarily captured to transport food could not be too elite, so Wen Pin killed smoothly, and there was no single enemy under his command.

His troops did not encounter too many obstacles, and no one in the escort sent by Soochow could even run back.

Soon, the escorting troops were wiped out, and the other coachmen didn't need to do anything, and they didn't have weapons and couldn't resist.

Then came the most tiring part, carrying away the food and grass and sending them to the riverside boat.

Wenpin checked the food and grass back and forth, and estimated in his heart that the food and grass would be enough for a hundred thousand troops to last for a few days.

There is a lot of food and grass, which should allow Lu Meng in Chibi to last for more than half a month, and Cao Ang can last at least seven or eight days.

"Immediately send someone back to send news to the Eldest Young Master. We have succeeded. Remember the approximate number and send it back!"

While Wenpin was talking, he was thinking in his heart whether there would be any changes in Soochow after this incident.

Will Zhou Yu personally lead troops to restore this face?
