Chapter 319: Catching Thieves with Food
On the day after talking with Tai Shici, the pottery merchant personally visited the mansion and proposed to Kong Rong that he wanted to secondment the grain and grain of Beihai County's subordinates, so that he could defeat Guan Hai of the Yellow Turban Army as quickly as possible.
At this time, Liu Bei was bedridden, and the ordnance of Beihai County was also insufficient, and Guan Hai occupied Shouguang County, and it was possible to drive troops to attack Yingling City at any time.
Although there are not many people in Guan Hai, there are also a lot.
He is an extremely famous Yellow Turban strong army north of the Yellow River, let such a ferocious man always occupy his own county, let the robbers neighbor the governing place, and speak his conscience, Kong Rong is really a little afraid in his heart.
Although he has not had much contact with the pottery merchants, Kong Rong still knows about the achievements of the pottery merchants in defeating Yuan Shu and Lu Bu successively.
Liu Bei was shot over by Guan Hai with an arrow at this moment, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help him solve the difficulties.
In Kong Rong's heart, maybe he really had to ask the potter to help him solve the difficulties.
Under these circumstances, Kong Rong followed the advice of the potter, and asked his subordinates Wang Xiong and Fang Xiu to assist him in plotting against Guan Hai.
……
……
Guan Hai is in Shouguang County at the moment, and he is not very comfortable.
The grain in the grain depot in Shouguang County is pitiful, and it is almost exhausted by Guan Hai's soldiers and horses, although Liu Bei shot it over a few days ago, but now Guan Hai's life is really not very comfortable.
Seeing that the military rations were about to run out, Guan Hai had no choice but to start planning and then go to other counties.
Just as he was discussing with his Yellow Turban tribes, there was a report from the Malays, but it was learned that the subordinate counties of Beihai County were transporting the grain and taxes of each county this season to Yingling City.
All counties sent grain and grass to Beihai County's Zhishoying Mausoleum City and paid taxes? What does this mean?
Guan Hai didn't think much about it at first.
Immediately afterwards, Guan Hai suddenly realized.
Kong Rong urgently adjusted the grain and grass taxes in various counties, not for anything else, but definitely for his own use!
He is expanding his munitions reserves, and he is ready to fight himself!
Thinking of this, the corners of Guan Hai's mouth couldn't help but hang a cruel smile.
How can I let Kong Rong get his wish?
After the plan was decided, Guan Hai immediately dispatched soldiers and horses, found out the route of the nearest grain and tax transport team to Yingling City, and organized soldiers and horses to prepare for looting!
Hijack the taxes you use against my grain and grass, and use them against you!
The surname Kong, Lao Tzu see how you resist the enemy?!
……
On the official road, the grain trucks and tax vehicles escorted by the subordinate counties of Beihai County were slowly moving in the direction of Yingling City.
The soldiers guarding the vehicle are the most elite soldiers of the local county government.
After all, it was a whole season of tax rations, and the local county lord naturally had to let his subordinates carefully watch the escort so as not to make mistakes on the way.
When the chariot and horse team traveled about 200 miles away from Yingling City, Guan Hai's premeditated ambush of soldiers and horses suddenly chased and killed from the rear of the official road, and rushed to kill the grain team.
"There are robbers hijacking the grain cart!"
The soldiers and horses of Beihai County, who guarded the grain team, shouted while meeting the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turban Army in Guanhai.
The two sides fought each other, and the performance of these officers and troops was extremely poor, almost retreating in a battle, and they ran away immediately if they couldn't fight, and they didn't entangle with the Yellow Turban Army led by Guan Hai at all.
The eyesight of the robbers of the Yellow Turban Army is basically focused on the grain truck, and they don't care much about the performance of the officers and soldiers.
After the Guan Hai army seized the grain, grass and baggage, they did not pursue the county soldiers of Beihai County, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turbans just went crazy and robbed the grain, money carts, and cattle and horses that carried the grain carts.
From ancient times to the present, once the best soldier begins to hijack things, the formation will inevitably be scattered, and at the same time, the fighting spirit will inevitably fall.
And the current yellow scarves that hijack money and food are also the weakest.
The soldiers and horses of Beihai County and the Xuzhou escort army led by the pottery merchants were ambushed in the mountains and grasses not far away, waiting for the day, quietly looking at the Yellow Turban army that was robbing money, grain, carts and horses.
The potter turned his head to Li Tong and Tai Shici and said: "It's time, the defeated Guan Hai is here, there are Lao Wenda and Ziyi, the opportunity is rare, please be sure to finish the battle, you must not let Guan Hai go, if you let him escape and retreat to Shouguang County, and then want to clean him up, I don't know when...... It is necessary to know that no matter how fierce a general is, after receiving a major blow, he will also become a turtle with a shrunken head. ”
Li Tong's face was serious, and his heart was beating slightly.
Except for the specious siege battle of Baihu Mountain against Yan Baihu, this battle can be regarded as his first tough battle under the command of the pottery merchant, whether it is public or private, he will inevitably play a vigorous and beautiful record.
Li Tong said calmly: "Fujun can rest assured!" ”
Tai Shi Ci stared at Guan Hai under the mountain quietly, his face was cold and abnormal.
The situation of the old mother in Shouguang County is unknown, if you want to save the old mother from danger, the only way to defeat Guan Hai in this battle, whether it is dead or alive - in short, Guan Hai must not be allowed to escape.
Tai Shi Ci lifted the halberd in his hand, touched the treasure carving bow behind him, and suddenly turned his head and said, "Please Tao Fujun and Captain Li to assist Fang Gongcao of Beihai County in encircling and suppressing Guan Hai's subordinates...... Guan Hai himself handed it over to me! Mercy should be captured. ”
Li Tong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't know Tai Shici's ability very well, and hesitated: "Since Guan Hai is the leader of the Yellow Turban Army thieves in this area, he must have some real skills under his hands!" If you are in danger, you can't get rid of Guan Hai, and it's easy to get yourself into it, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Tai Shi Ci said heavily: "Ci just asked Tao Fujun and Li Xiaowei to believe me once, my mother is deep in the enemy city, if I am not very sure, Ci Yan dares to make such a big statement?" ”
Since ancient times, those who have taken the head of a general in a thousand armies, although it cannot be said that there are none, but they are definitely rare, Tai Shici is not well-known at the moment, and Li Tong naturally can't believe him.
So, he turned his head inquiringly to look at the potter.
The potter smiled at Tai Shici's encouragement and said, "I will send someone to inform Fang Xiu of Beihai County, so that he and our generals can cover you together...... Wenda, the elite of the ten horsemen who are good at rushing, and Tai Shici will go to do this big thing together. ”
The woman is the one who pleases herself, and the soldier dies for the confidant, and the potter can trust himself so much in front of the two armies, which makes Tai Shici's heart naturally feel more moved.
This young prince of the peace is still quite discerning.
He clenched his fists heavily and said to Tao Shang: "After this battle, Ciruo can achieve all the merits!" will repay the great virtue of the king. ”
The potter raised his hand with a smile and blocked his words: "You can't talk about great virtue, if Ziyi can really achieve great achievements...... At that time, he promised to do Tao a small favor, which would be regarded as a repayment. ”
……
At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army, who was coaxing the grain below, suddenly found that there was something wrong with the grain and grass.
A Yellow Turban sergeant hurriedly reported to Guan Hai: "Qu Shuai! There is a problem with grain and grass, and the sacks on each car are filled with not only grain and grass, but also hay mixed in them, and the two are mixed somehow! ”
When Guan Hai heard this, his heart was shocked.
Hay?
Not good!
Although Rao is Guan Hai has always been known for his bravery in the Yellow Turban Army, he is not a complete brute general, and he still understands a little bit about the art of war and warfare.
What it means to load hay, he knew it at once!
"It's not good, beckoning the cubs to get out of here!" Guan Hai was beating the horse and roaring at the Yellow Turban Colonel.
The problem is that at this moment, it is already too late.
"Whoosh ——!"
Not far away, in the mountains and forests, countless rockets under the command of Fang Xiu of Beihai County and Li Tong of the Xuzhou Army roared towards the grain carts and cattle and horses in the pipeline.
Guan Hai's face turned pale with shock in an instant, and he couldn't see any color.
