In the siege battle, if it were not for the direct attack order issued by the extremely different strengths, the vast majority would be to besiege the city and cut off food, so that it would not be able to attack itself.

The same is true of Cao Cao's army besieging Xiao Pei, who is unable to receive assistance and the city is not supplied with food.

As long as it lasts for more than ten days, once the more than 10,000 troops in the city run out of food and grass, they can only fight to the death to give up the terrain and go out of the city to fight to the death with the Cao army, which strictly defends and occupies the advantageous location.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Ang could not let Xiaopei City receive assistance from grain and grass.

Therefore, after learning from Cao Cao's secret letter that there was a team transporting grain from the side, Cao Ang was also very concerned.

After taking this matter, he took Xiahou Chong to his military camp and saw Liu Bei, whose injuries were almost healed.

"Xuande, quickly reorganize the soldiers and horses, there is news from my father's side, saying that we have detected in advance that a grain team is coming from the side, and we must go and stop them!"

This Liu Bei has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and naturally he will not let the overall situation go regardless of this slight injury on his body, so after hearing Cao Ang's words at this time, his face immediately became solemn.

Under his orders, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu went out one after another to dispatch troops, and almost only after half a pillar of incense, all the three thousand soldiers under Cao Ang's command completed the gathering.

As for the fact that his three thousand soldiers had begun to obey Liu Bei's dispatch, Cao Ang not only did not have any worries, but not only that, he seemed to be quite satisfied.

This team of recruits is so brave under the leadership of Xuande, this son is really pleased!

After praising Liu Bei, Cao Ang led his army straight to the flank mentioned above Cao Cao's secret letter, and soon set up an ambush on a valley.

Standing on a high place, the scenery below can be seen at a glance, Cao Ang at this time did not have the leisure to enjoy the beautiful scenery, looking at a black spot that appeared in the distance, his face immediately became solemn.

"Xuande, be sure to do a good job of ambush quickly, this army of soldiers transporting grain looks like there should be a thousand people, don't take it lightly!"

Cao Ang knew that Guo Jia had used tactics to persuade Chen Gui and Chen Deng's father and son, so it stands to reason that there will definitely be no grain and grass dispatched in Xiapi.

However, at present, there is still a grain team, which is enough to see that this grain team must not be simple.

Liu Bei also knew the importance of this matter, and immediately went to the scene in person, and after the troops were divided into four routes, Liu Guanzhang and Cao Ang each led more than 700 people, and ambushed them from different places.

As long as this team of grain carriers arrives, they can launch a sneak attack at any time!

As Cao Ang expected, this team transporting grain was not simple, they were a thousand recruits led by Cao Xing, who were hastily transferred from outside Xiapi City by Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi.

Although he is a new soldier and has not participated in any war, he has been trained by Cao Xing for a long time, and these people at this time are all high-spirited and want to make meritorious contributions, but they are not lost to ordinary soldiers.

Under the leadership of Lu Lingqi, he went straight to Xiaopei.

"Cao Xing, it's approaching Xiaopei right now, maybe Cao Jun is around here, send more scouts out to find out the news."

I saw that Lu Lingqi was dressed in a dark red uniform, looking majestic and a little heroic, and the silver-white crown tied up her long hair, which not only disguised her identity as a woman, but also made her look more capable.

After Cao Xing heard such a reminder, he didn't dare to carry anything at this time, and hurriedly sent out a lot of scouts.

It was also at this time that the scouts who had been sent out by Lu Lingqi to investigate the news hurriedly came back and reported the battle situation on the front line.

"General Qiyu, there are nearly 15,000 soldiers in Xiaopei in front, and they are garrisoned by Chen Gongjun and General Gao Shun. About thirteen miles to the west, General Lu Bu was stationed there, and there were nearly 15,000 soldiers. ”

When the army moves, the scouts naturally have to go first, and Lu Lingqi naturally knows this, so when she arrives, she naturally knows what is happening on the front line.

After hearing that her father and Chen Gong had divided their troops, her face also showed a little surprise, and she didn't seem to expect such a thing to happen.

However, this surprise did not last long, and she reacted after a while.

"The army will turn around and march westward, and General Yu Lubu will talk about it!"

Originally, Lu Lingqi's grain team was to escort food for her father, but at this time, she heard that her father had broken through from Xiaopei, so she didn't have to risk transporting grain into Xiaopei.

As long as he can make peace with his father, and there is food and grass in hand at that time, no matter if he re-enters Xiaopei to cooperate with Chen Gong or continues to contain Cao Jun outside, he will not fall behind.

In a moment, the grain transportation team, which had been firmly targeted before, unexpectedly changed its direction, but also avoided an ambush by mistake.

In the distance, Cao Ang watched as the grain transport team that was about to enter the set changed direction, and seemed to be planning to go towards the place where Lu Bu's army was stationed, and his gaze immediately became solemn.

"Childe, we can't let them make peace with Lu Bu's army, once Lu Bu gets this batch of grain and grass and successfully sends it to Xiaopei, then the prime minister's siege during this period of time will be in vain."

Guo Jia, the strategist beside Cao Ang, saw the importance of this grain transportation team at a glance, and immediately reminded Cao Ang.

After hearing such a reminder, Xiahou Chong next to him also stood up at this time and boldly asked for his life.

"Childe, there are only more than 1,000 people on the other side, and we have more than 3,000 people, rush over at this time, even if they can escape, but the grain and grass will definitely be detained, let's go and chase it quickly, right?"

With 3,000 people against 1,000 people, it is naturally best if you can make an ambush and eat them without injury, but once the other party notices it, even if it is forced to fight, there will definitely be no problem.

What's more, among these 3,000 people, there are fierce generals like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, how can a mere team carrying grain be able to resist!

Listening to Xiahou's high-spirited words, Cao Ang finally made up his mind.

"Good! Since they don't come, then let's take the initiative to chase after them, first order Liu Guan and Zhang Sanlu, let them attack this grain team together, and let's ambush them on their retreat! ”

After having a plan in his heart, Cao Ang no longer hesitated, and directly dispatched Liu Guanzhang and the three of them.

These three people are not the same as him, if they can die in battle under their own command, it is naturally the best, even if they can survive, they can also make a lot of contributions for themselves.
