Chapter 1051: Fire Burns the Grain Road
This plan was proposed by Zhang He.
It is also the most suitable to leave it to Zhang He to do.
Because Zhang He himself is also a member of the Zhang family in Zhongshan, Jizhou.
Zhang Shiping, who has communicated with Liu Zheng, is the same clan, and Zhang He is also very familiar with the geographical environment near Jizhou.
This is much better than Xu Huang doing this by himself.
Zhang He originally just said this, but he didn't expect Xu Huang to let him do this directly.
I was surprised and delighted for a while.
For such an important matter, Xu Huang directly ordered him to do it, which shows Xu Huang's trust in him.
"Will ...... General, this ...... Is this really up to me? ”
Zhang He still didn't react, and in addition to being surprised, he stammered a little when he answered Xu Huang's words.
"Junyi, if this matter is not entrusted to you, who else can be more suitable for this task than you?"
"Don't worry, since you brought up this matter, once it succeeds, this time I will tell Your Majesty and give you the first credit!"
Xu Huang is still a good man and knows how to win people's hearts.
At this time, Zhang He immediately took the order excitedly.
Directly led some of his own personal soldiers, plus some elite cavalry selected from Xu Huang's military camp, and took advantage of the night to kill in the direction of Zhongshan Kingdom.
According to the calculation of time, the grain and grass transported from Zhongshan Country at this time should not have left the boundary of Zhongshan Country.
By the time Zhang He led the men and horses to kill him, he should have just arrived near Hejian County, even if Zhang He burned those grains and grass at that time, Badun and Yuan Xi in Lecheng County might not have reacted.
The boundaries of Goyang City.
This is the junction of Zhongshan, Hejian and Zhuojun.
Zhongshan and Hejian are under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, and Zhuojun is under the jurisdiction of Youzhou.
Walking from the Nakayama River, this is a relatively safe road.
It is also the main road for the transportation of grain and grass arranged by Bunton.
After receiving the news from Yuan Xi, Badun quickly led his main force from Zhongshan to Hejian County to support Lecheng County.
But he still left behind 2,000 men who were responsible for transporting grain and grass here.
These people are all responsible for the difficult building.
Nanlou, like Bunton, was one of the three kings of Karasuma before, and was originally a king with a large territory in the Karasuma tribe.
However, after the Karasuma people took refuge in Yuan Shao as a whole, the entire scattered Karasuma tribes gradually formed a unity.
The king of Nanlou was also co-opted by the newly rising Badun.
became a strong general under the command of Badun.
The Karasuma people are in the same lineage, and although they are different tribes, when they unite to deal with the Central Plains people, they are still very united.
The baggage trucks transporting grain and grass are slowly walking on the official road.
Nanlou rode on a war horse and escorted these baggage carts with hundreds of cavalry to avoid any trouble.
These grains and grasses are of great significance to their Karasuma.
Not only for the use of the army stationed in Lecheng County, but also for the surplus to be transported back to the Karasuma tribes and dispersed to the people of various tribes.
Winter is coming soon, and this year's grain has not yet been prepared.
This is all because of this plundering in Jizhou, so that it is possible to prepare all the grain for winter this year.
Otherwise, this winter will be very difficult.
However, this idea of Nanlou has not been able to stabilize.
On this official road, not long after, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves.
When he heard the sound of horses' hooves, Nanlou was not nervous.
After all, it is now close to Zhuogun, and there are occasional horse thieves in the vicinity, but most of them are men and horses from the Karasuma tribe.
These people, as long as they express their identity, people who know each other will sell face.
The worst is that when I meet some unreasonable people, I don't worry about it, after all, the sons and daughters under his command are the most elite fighters in Karasuma.
With their presence, Nanlou has the confidence to repel any enemy who comes to attack.
Of course, the sound of horses' hooves may also be the person sent back to answer by Badun, so Nanlou was not nervous, but ordered everyone to stop temporarily.
When the sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, Nanlou was ready to ask who those people who came.
On the official road, the night is thick.
The bright moonlight did not shine too brightly, and from a little distance, it would be impossible to see what was going on.
When I saw the cavalry approaching in the distance, I wanted to communicate with them.
only to find that these cavalry had no intention of getting down their own footsteps at all.
The horse's sprint is still ongoing.
"Who's in front of you? What centaurs? ”
"Whoever comes, report the name!"
Nanlou shouted twice from afar.
I want to wait for the other person to answer me.
But the cavalry who rushed over did not say a word.
There is no intention of answering the difficult building at all.
Originally, I was still a little curious about the identity of these people, but after seeing that the other party didn't take care of himself at all, and the speed of the attack didn't change at all.
Nanlou's face was shocked.
After realizing that these cavalrymen were looking for trouble, Nanlou immediately shouted loudly at these guards behind him.
"Alert, alert?!"
Nanlou shouted loudly, trying to keep the soldiers behind him on guard.
Prevent being overwhelmed by enemy forces in an unprepared formation.
But Nanlou has just finished speaking.
In the distance, the rushing cavalry was already approaching.
These people are none other than the 500 elite horsemen led by Zhang He.
Zhang He led people and killed them all the way from Hejian County.
In fact, the so-called killing is normal, their men and horses are familiar with the road, and they directly go to the place where they will transport grain and grass, so they go directly to the place.
Soon the first baggage teams transporting grain and grass were encountered.
Zhang He naturally would not let go of such a person, and directly ordered his own people to attack.
Hundreds of cavalry had already encountered these unguarded baggage troops, and that was a massacre.
The baggage team of dozens of vehicles was quickly swept away by Zhang He's soldiers and horses.
Not a single living mouth was left.
After burning the grain and grass, Zhang He continued to lead people and continued to pursue in the direction of Zhongshan.
He knew that this grain and grass here was definitely not all, and that Badun had plundered so much grain and grass, and a baggage team would definitely not be able to transport it.
It must be transported in a phased convoy.
Burning only one baggage convoy could not completely affect Badun and Yuan Xi.
Therefore, he had to continue his pursuit and burn all the grain and grass.
Only in this way can Zhang He establish the greatest merit and role.
When Zhang He's men and horses came here, Nanlou reacted that these people were not Karasuma people and horse thieves, but soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty.
