Chapter 822: Yuan Shao attacked
The grain road is not changed just by saying that it will be changed, Cao Cao will also send troops to respond, once it is not answered, after inquiry, it is found that Zang Ba went to Jizhou, maybe he will think that Zang Ba has defected.
But it's not impossible, Jiang Zhuo can secretly hire a second-rate force to come and harass, spend a few hundred gold coins, and ensure that it is just an attack and not an attack, and there will definitely be forces willing to take orders.
"I'll leave it to you to make the arrangements, and if you need the help of the aliens, you can tell me about this personal guard." Jiang Zhuo introduced the mosquito to Zang Ba, and he was still very clear about Zang Ba's ability.
A Qingxu Metropolitan Governor, if he can't even arrange to change the grain route, then Jiang Zhuo can only feed the dog as his original [Heart Control Gu].
Zang Ba immediately went down to make arrangements, first asking the generals installed by Cao Cao in the army to arrange for their scouts to inspect the grain road, and then asking mosquitoes to arrange people to attack the scouts and set traps along the way.
The scouts returned to report that the grain route had been detected by the enemy, and that there were traps and ambushes along the way. In ancient wars, the logistics grain route was absolutely a secret among secrets, and sometimes there would even be more than a dozen fake grain routes and more than a dozen batches of fake grain trucks, just to cover a real grain team.
It's just that in the game, the number of players is so large that there is basically nothing hidden that can't be detected.
Zang Ba immediately summoned the generals of the army to the tent, and although Cao Cao trusted him, he also arranged some people around him. The commanders of the left and right armies in the army, as well as more than a dozen school captains, are Cao Cao's people, and this is only on the surface.
"This is news from the scouts, what do you think?" Zang Ba passed the scout information to everyone for circulation, and finally fell into the hands of Yu Ban, the commander of the left army.
Yu Ban frowned slightly, the Yuan family is the fourth and third princes, and they have a strong appeal to the world's families. A large number of royalists and families in Xu Du clamored all day long to let the general Yuan Shao enter Xu Du to protect the emperor, but Cao Cao could not agree at all.
Now that the news of the grain road has leaked, it is difficult to guarantee that the families along the way will not take the opportunity to make a move and make a great contribution to Yuan Shao. Of course, if there are hundreds of thousands of strangers gathered, they will also be in trouble.
"The Grand Governor, the last general thinks we should change the grain route." Yu Ban replied with a fist, and only after he answered first did the rest give their opinions, and most of them still seconded Yu Ban's opinion.
The change of grain routes is basically inevitable, otherwise it is necessary to increase the number of soldiers guarding the grain brigade. However, transporting grain itself requires tens of thousands of people, and if seven or eight thousand soldiers are added, these 20,000 people will need a lot of grain and grass to eat and chew every day.
When the time comes, more than 200,000 stones of grain and grass will be transported to the destination, and it is difficult to say whether half of them can be left.
That's what the Governor meant. This time, the governor personally led 5,000 elite guards to Yanzhou, and this rear was handed over to the general. ”
"No, Grand Duke! You are the governor of Qingxu, how can you leave Xuzhou easily. Yu Ban's heart sank, although he came here to supervise Zang Ba, Cao Cao obviously trusted and valued Zang Ba.
He was worried that Zang Ba was testing him by saying this, and once he agreed, he was afraid that he would leave a bad impression on Zang Ba.
Zang Ba waved his hand, "General Yu Mo advises, this batch of grain and grass is very important to the lord, if the governor can't deliver this batch of grain and grass to Yanzhou safely, how can he be worthy of the lord's trust in the governor?!" ”
Everyone persuaded a few more words, and seeing that Zang Ba had made up his mind, he couldn't say anything more.
"In the absence of the Governor, you must be headed by the order of the General. At this point in life and death, if you let the governor know who dares to drag his feet, he will not be merciful! A cold glint flashed in Zang Ba's eyes, and all the generals bowed their heads and drank.
Soon Zang Ba led 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers, a total of 5,000 elites, and escorted 280,000 stone grain and grass with 10,000 people to the west. Although many players and spies from Jizhou have seen this scene, they don't know that Zang Ba has planned to change the grain route.
The Jizhou side did arrange for people to set up an ambush on the original grain route of the Taishan army, but after waiting for more than ten hours, when the grain team was about to arrive at the ambush point, Zang Ba turned to the north.
......
"Zang Ba has turned north?" Yuan Shao was inexplicable for a while after getting the news, and he didn't know what Zang Ba wanted to do. The north is his old Yuan's territory, this guy sent meat to his mouth, trying to choke him to death?
Yuan Shao's character is to be scheming and decisive, and he always likes to play conspiracy and tricks, but thinking too much has become a state of "there are always people who want to harm me", and he is afraid to make a decision.
"My lord, no matter what conspiracy Zang Ba has, it is just vain in the face of absolute strength. Now the army is not suitable to move lightly, but General Dangkou has a large number of Inhumans under his command, so he can lead the Inhumans to attack. ”
Yuan Shao has many strategists under his command, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Feng Ji, Ju Pei and even Xu You, all of whom belong to the likes of famous schemes and have strong abilities. It was Tian Feng who spoke out.
"Hmph... I have millions of troops and thousands of good generals in Jizhou, and I still need to follow Cao A's example to build an army with different people? Lord Tian, do you think that my Jizhou Army is not as good as Zang Ba? Xu Yu made mocking remarks, which was also the biggest problem of Yuan Shao's camp.
Because of the struggle for the throne of Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Shao's subordinate generals were also divided into several factions, and they would quarrel with each other if they had nothing to do. Sometimes he will oppose for the sake of opposition, which makes it even more difficult for the indecisive Yuan Shao to decide.
Tian Feng was so angry that he pointed at Xu Yu and trembled, "Xu Ziyuan, that's all you have to say!" ”
"Shut up!" Yuan Shao roared angrily, and then glared at Tian Feng fiercely. Tian Feng is too upright, more upright than Zhang Zhao, and he is not liked by Yuan Shao. And although Xu You is a villain, he can always please Yuan Shao, and he can always have a clever plan.
Yuan Shao saw that they all lowered their heads, and they didn't bother to pay attention, and turned his head to look at Feng Ji, who he trusted the most. Jizhou, even Qingzhou and Youzhou, all rely on Feng Ji, and his ability has won Yuan Shao's absolute trust, "Yuan Tu (Feng Ji Zi Yuan Tu), what do you think?" ”
Feng Ji bowed, "It's hard to keep the Inhumans secret, if Zang Ba knows in advance that we have sent an army of Inhumans there, he will either retreat or set up an ambush." Whatever happens to it, it's not good for us.
It is better to send a general to lead the cavalry to attack. If they can get the 280,000 stone grain and grass that Zang Ba guards, the morale of the Cao army will inevitably be hit hard, and if their military rations are insufficient, I am afraid that they will collapse without a fight. ”
"Good!" Yuan Shao didn't hesitate any longer, "Order Zhang Nan to lead three thousand light cavalry to attack Zang Ba, be sure to defeat him!" ”
......
Let's say that Yuan Shao sent troops, Jiang Zhuo and Zang Ba received the news as soon as possible.
"Xuangao, what should I do next?" Jiang Zhuo's eyebrows were slightly locked, the biggest advantage of the northern princes was the cavalry, Yuan Shao had 10,000 cavalry under his command, and the plains were basically invincible.
