Chapter 628: Timely Rain
The soldiers under Cao Ren's command were disposed of, and Cao Ren was also tied up. οΌ)
After handling everything, Lu Meng gave an order and asked the soldiers to escort the grain and grass to the Yizhou army camp to return.
When the army came to intercept and kill Cao Ren, they did not meet the scouts of Cao Ying, such as it was dark today, it was late at night, and they would not encounter it, and the army returned along the same road.
It's a bit of a detour, but it's safe. There were 300 soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion under Lu Meng's command, and Pei Yuanshao brought another 400 foot soldiers, adding up to 700 people, which was not a small force. However, once they encountered Cao Cao's army, even the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion were brave enough to resist, so the army quietly returned the same way.
When the sky was dark, the army finally evaded Cao Cao's threat and hurried on the official road from Yizhou to Chang'an.
This journey is already in Wang Can's sphere of influence, and there is no need to worry about Cao Cao's threat.
"Boom!"
The night dispersed, and the sky should have been getting brighter and brighter, but suddenly it darkened, and there was no sunlight at all. In the sky, clusters of dark clouds shrouded the sky, and the lightning like a snake kept shining.
"Click!"
Thunder and autumn rain fell.
"Whoa!"
Bean-sized raindrops fell, splashing dust on the ground, and suddenly a pungent smell of dust rushed up. This is the first rain of autumn, and after the heavy rain, the weather will gradually get cooler.
Heavy rain falls, but there is nowhere to hide.
In a short time, all the soldiers became chickens.
Pei Yuanshao stretched out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, with an anxious look on his face, and said, "Amon, this rain is falling, and the food that comes just now is prone to problems, what should I do?" β
Lu Meng reached out and wiped the rain from his face, laughing.
He stretched out his hand and took off the iron helmet he was wearing on his head, threw it to the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion behind him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Pei, don't worry, Yizhou is rich in grain, and what we have in our camp is grain." The most important thing is that we robbed Cao Cao's food and made the soldiers under Cao Cao's command hungry, which is the most important thing. β
Pei Yuanshao was stunned, and then asked, "Amon, what are you laughing at?" β
Lu Meng spread out his palms, looked at the heavy rain that kept falling, and said: "I laugh that God is helping us, we killed six hundred soldiers on the official road, and the blood flowed like a river, and the blood stained the ground red, and it was easy to be found." Now that an autumn rain has fallen, all the blood stains will be washed away, and the traces on the ground will disappear, and Cao Cao will definitely not be able to find out the problem in a short time. β
Xu Rong nodded secretly, with a smile on his face.
This autumn rain is timely rain!
The army did not stop and continued on its way. On the muddy road, the horses pulling the grain and grass raised their heads and neighed, but they could only pull the grain and grass to hurry back to the camp.
The roads were muddy, and the speed of the road was much slower.
According to the initial estimates, the camp should have arrived at noon, but it ended up arriving in the afternoon.
Wang Can got the news of the return of LΓΌ Meng and others, dressed in a lily coat and a hat, and stood at the gate of the camp in the heavy rain to greet Xu Rong, LΓΌ Meng and Pei Yuanshao.
For Wang Can, it is of great significance and too important to snatch Cao Cao's grain and grass back. This is not because Wang Can urgently needs grain and grass, but because Cao Cao's base camp is in Yanzhou, and the transportation of grain and grass from Yanzhou cannot be completed in a short time, as can be seen from the fact that this time he escorted enough grain and grass for three months of the army.
Without grain and grass, Cao Cao could easily get into trouble.
Wang Can led the generals in the army and stood at the gate of the camp. When he saw Lu Meng and the others who became soup chickens after being wet by the heavy rain, he was also happy when he saw the excitement on everyone's faces.
Wang Can welcomed the group back to the camp and instructed the soldiers to prepare ginger soup to prevent the soldiers from being cold.
In the tent, Wang Can sat on the main seat with a faint smile on his face.
According to the original plan, Wang Can was ready to lead the troops to Cao Ying to fight Cao Cao, but the heavy rain kept falling from early in the morning and never stopped, and Wang Can failed to lead the troops to fight.
In the camp tent, on the left are Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Li Ru, and on the right are Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other generals.
Not long after, Xu Rong, Lu Meng and Pei Yuanshao came to the big tent.
Wang Can smiled and said: "It only took one night to cut off the grain and grass, it's very good, sit down." After the three of them sat down, Wang Can asked, "Changming, tell me about the grain robbery!" β
Xu Rong clenched his fists and said: "My lord, everything is personally commanded by the little general, and the last general just acts according to the orders of the little general, and the little general will return to him." β
Wang Can nodded and looked at Lu Meng.
Lu Meng glanced at Xu Rong gratefully, and then said slowly.
In the process of robbing grain, Lu Meng did not add any oil and vinegar, and explained it in detail in 1510. After Lu Meng finished speaking, the people in the big tent were overjoyed.
However, only Huang Zhong and Dian Wei were angry, both of them clenched their fists, eager to rush out of the camp immediately, go back and beat their rabbit cubs, a great opportunity, actually let Lu Meng capture the general of Cao Ying.
The two looked at each other with regret on their faces, and then snorted.
Apparently, both were sulking.
Dian Wei, in particular, was even more angry. Pawnman was the first to rush up to fight, but he didn't capture the general who held the grain, which made him snort angrily. Thinking that Dian Man was unwilling to learn his double halberd, but instead found two heavy iron hammers to practice martial arts, Dian Wei was even more angry, and his heart was panicked.
Wang Can saw the expressions of Dian Wei and Huang Zhong in his eyes, and was amused in his heart.
After a pause, Wang Can asked, "Ameng, what is the name of the lord of Cao Ying's grain?" β
Lu Meng clasped his fists and said: "Teacher, after the disciple grabbed the general who held the grain, he directly asked the soldiers to gag his mouth, did not let him speak, and still has not had time to interrogate. However, this person should not be an unknown person, because when the crossbow arrow was fired at the general, a soldier took the initiative to block the arrow for him, which shows that the identity of the general is very important, otherwise it cannot be so. β
Wang Can nodded and ordered, "You let people bring him in!" β
"No!"
Lu Meng replied, and immediately went to order the soldiers to pull in the tie of the general who was carrying the grain.
When Cao Ren entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he was very embarrassed. Especially when he was drenched in heavy rain, his body was **, his hair was scattered, and his face was covered with mud, which made Cao Ren look even more embarrassed. Wang Can stared at Cao Ren, and after a while, his face showed a sudden look, and he said, "Hey, you are Cao Ren!" β
Wang Can is no stranger to Cao Ren.
After all, Wang Can and Cao Cao fought together against Dong Zhuo, and the two sides had cooperated to attack Dong Zhuo's soldiers. Even if Wang Can and Cao Ren did not have a face-to-face conversation, Wang Can still had an impression that Cao Cao had a famous general under his command.
Cao Ren was recognized by Wang Can, with a look of shame and indignation on his face.
became Wang Can's captive, and he was still recognized in this situation, which made him embarrassed. Cao Ren took a deep breath, suddenly straightened his body, looked serious, and shouted: "Wang Can, a certain family is Cao Ren, he was captured by you today, and he wants to be killed or killed. β
He held his head high, and his face showed a look of generosity to death.
Although he became a prisoner, he could not lose the prestige of General Cao Ying.
ps: The fourth shift is completed, and the rest is finished. Well, I would like to ask for everyone's flower support again, and ask to be on the flower list.
