Chapter 293: Looting Grain

Soon, Bian Zhang and Han Sui received a report from the scouts that a large number of military rations and materials were being transported over from Lu Bujun's side.

Moreover, this batch of military rations is huge, and the number of soldiers who escort the grain and grass alone has reached more than 3,000, which can at least provide three months of grain and grass for Lu Bu's army.

After getting the news, Bian Zhang and Han Sui couldn't help but be surprised.

At present, the imperial court's finances are depleted and unable to support the army's military expenditures.

Therefore, in the eyes of Bian Zhang and Han Sui, as long as the supply of grain and grass in the imperial court is not available, Lu Bu will have to withdraw from the army sooner or later.

But now, they actually have a large amount of military supplies to be delivered?

If it is true, then they are really dangerous, and it can even be said that they have fallen into the dead.

After pondering for a long time, Bian Zhang couldn't help but say, "Could this be Lu Bu's trick?" ”

They didn't quite believe that the imperial court could really mobilize so much grain and grass.

Han Sui said helplessly: "But we can't gamble, and we must not let this batch of grain and grass be transported in." Once this batch of grain and grass is transported, then we will be attacked by Lu Bu and Ma Teng on both sides, and once the grain and grass are exhausted, we will have only one way to retreat. But retreating will undo all our efforts. ”

There is another point that Han Sui did not say explicitly, because they have no way out.

They killed Beigong Boyu, naturally they couldn't retreat to the Qianghu tribe, Xiliang didn't have a place for them, and it became extremely difficult to find a place to stay.

Obviously, Bian Zhang also thought of this.

Bian Zhang couldn't help but say: "In that case, then we must cut off their grain channel." In your opinion, how many armies should we send? ”

After pondering for a while, Han Sui said: "In my opinion, you and I will each send 5,000 cavalry, a total of 10,000 cavalry, to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Under Lu Bu's command, whether it was infantry or cavalry, as well as the trapping camp and the God of War battalion, each branch of the army was an invincible division in their eyes.

3,000 grain carriers, even if they send double the number of troops, may not be safe.

It is necessary to send at least three times as many troops to have a certain certainty.

Hearing Han Sui's analysis, Bian Zhang finally agreed.

In the end, Bian Zhang and Han Sui each sent 5,000 soldiers and horses, with Han Sui's general Ake as a general, preparing to hijack Lu Bu's grain route.

Before the grain robbery army set off, Bian Zhang and Han Sui took the map and studied the route of the grain robbery according to the grain transportation route that the scouts reacted back to.

In the end, they chose the best location.

This place is more than fifty miles away from Lu Bu's army.

When Lu Bu's army was reported, and then during the period when they sent troops to support, they had enough time to hijack grain and grass and exit safely.

And this location is the most favorable terrain for hijacking the grain road.

This place is bordered by a river on one side, a forest on the other, and a depression.

This section of the road is the only way for the grain transporters, and there is nowhere to run if they want to.

And their cavalry is condescending, and if they charge down, they can kill them on their backs.

That mountain forest is known locally as the Shahu Forest.

So, Bian Zhang and Han Sui ordered Akyang to lead an army of 10,000 and quietly leave the camp, avoiding the sight of Lu Bu and Ma Teng's scouts, and preparing to rob the grain.

Of course, the so-called generals are not subject to military orders abroad.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui also repeatedly told Aklu that they must send a large number of scouts in advance to confirm whether there was an ambush in the Shahu Forest.

Because Bian Zhang and Han Sui were afraid that this was Lu Bu's trick, but they had to do it.

……

Soon, Ak led 10,000 cavalry to set off quietly.

Rushed to the top of the Shahu Forest in advance, lurked, and sent a large number of scouts to search near the Shahu Forest.

The scouts who were eventually dispatched confirmed that there was no ambush in the Tiger Forest.

In this way, Ake was relieved.

It seems that this time it was really just a matter of transporting grain and grass, and it was not a plan set up by Lu Bu.

Half a day later, Ake's scouts came to report that the grain transporters would enter the depression under the Shahu forest in about an hour.

Ark suddenly let his soldiers lurk, hiding their tracks.

Even the war horses chewed their heads and didn't let them make a sound.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for scouts from the hostile side to climb the high ground to see if there was an ambush.

Because of the preparations in advance, the army was very hidden, and it was not discovered by the scouts.

After the scouts retreated, Akyang suddenly gathered a large army, ready to storm at any moment.

An hour later, 3,000 grain soldiers escorted the grain and grass to the foot of the shahu forest.

And these grain transporters seemed to be tired, stopped, and rested under the tiger forest.

Some soldiers untied their ropes and led their mules and horses to the nearby river to drink.

The soldiers also went to the river to wash.

The soldiers beside him said strangely, "Hey, how did the water in this river become so small?" Usually this river seems to be very deep, right? ”

"It hasn't rained for a long time recently, so of course the water level has dropped, what's so strange about that!" ”

"But, General, do you see that the amount of grain and grass they have is a little small?"

Ake looked down and found that the amount of grain and grass transported was indeed less than the intelligence.

However, Akyang didn't care very much, probably because the information was inaccurate, or the scout deliberately exaggerated the amount of grain and grass.

No matter what, as long as he can take down this batch of grain, he will be a great achievement.

At this time, almost all the mules and horses in the grain cart were led to the river to drink, and the boy had just finished drinking and was about to put a rope on it.

Ake laughed and said, "It is said that all of Lu Bu's subordinates are elite generals, and in the eyes of this general, it is nothing more than that, just a group of fools!" ”

"First of all, it is a taboo to rest in a low-lying place, and then to give water to mules and horses, why do you need to untie the rope and lead it to the river to drink? You can use a wooden bucket to carry water for drinking! Now is the perfect time for us to attack, boys, rush with this general! ”

After saying that, Ake took the lead and rushed down from the high post.

The three thousand grain transporters below couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the sudden cavalry, and they immediately dispersed in a hurry, and rushed towards the Shahu Forest like a lifeless.

Before Ak's cavalry could catch up, the 3,000 grain transporters had already run into the mountains and forests and disappeared.

After rushing to the depression, Ak ordered his soldiers to harness the mules and horses and transport the grain away.

Originally, the order that Ake got was to burn the grain, but Ake really didn't expect that Lu Bu's army rations would be so.

Seeing that his army, without even decent resistance, they scattered and fled.

In that case, he asked for these grains!

As long as this batch of grain can be transported back, he must have made a greater contribution to it.

However, soon the soldiers under Ake's command rushed over to report: "Report to the general, the rope of the mule and horse is rotten and cannot be used." ”

Ga?

The grain transporters under Lu Bu of Temeow are all pigs, this rope is rotten and can't be used, I really don't know how they escorted the grain here, aren't they afraid that the rope will break off on the road?
