After autumn, the weather is still hot, and the sun is so hot that people can't lift themselves up. On the wide and long official road, a group of soldiers are protecting carriages to rush on.

"Winner!"

The wheels rotated, ran over the official road, and moved forward slowly.

There were quite a lot of soldiers rushing to the official road, with a total of 600 people.

The general in charge rode on the horse, holding a sharp sword in his hand, and rode his horse slowly forward. The general was about twenty-seven or eight years old, with a stern chin and bearded, with a serious look, and a murderous aura. He took the lead and did not look back at the soldiers behind him, but none of the soldiers dared to be lazy.

This person is Cao Ren, a general under Cao Cao, who is responsible for the escort of the food and grass under Cao Cao.

The art of war is that before the three armies move, food and grass will go first. In order to ensure the safety of food and grass, Cao Cao specially sent Cao Ren to escort food and grass to ensure that there will be no mistakes in food and grass. When Cao Ren was young, he had a perverse personality and acted without any scruples, but when he grew up, he was respectful and serious, and his every move was quite organized, which made people like him.

Such a huge change is a surprising thing. It is precisely because of this that Cao Ren is very respected under Cao Cao's command and his status is even stronger than Xiahou Yuan.

Not only that, Cao Ren has another identity, he is Cao Cao's consul.

In ancient times, the ancients called men of the same generation who were the same great-grandfathers, but different fathers, and slightly younger than themselves as their companions. Between Cao Cao and Cao Ren, Cao Song, Cao Ren's father, Cao Chi, had different fathers and grandfathers, but great-grandfathers were the same. They used the relationship between later generations to describe them as cousins.

However, the ancients attached great importance to the family.

Although the two have been separated by several generations, they belong to the same family and have a very good relationship.

When Cao Cao raised an army to attack Dong, Cao Ren had already followed Cao Cao and became the marching Sima under Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou and launched an army to attack Chang'an, Cao Ren was responsible for Cao Cao's logistics and food. Although this was a leisure job, Cao Ren was stern and did not slack off at all. It was because of this that Cao Cao could entrust a major event.

The sun is at its peak, and the sun is extremely dazzling.

Cao Ren looked up at the sun hanging in the sky and estimated it in his heart.

The remaining journey is definitely impossible to complete today, and it is impossible to reach the camp outside Chang'an City. Even if you rush through the night, you cannot reach the camp and you will not arrive tomorrow. Cao Ren thought for a moment, raised his right hand, stopped the army that was continuing to rush, and ordered: "Everyone stopped to rest, bury the pot and cook. After dinner, rest for another half an hour, and then continue on the road."

The soldiers escorting food and grass immediately relaxed after hearing this.

Cao Ren did not relax. He asked the 500 soldiers under his command to rest, and the remaining 100 people were responsible for the alert.

In this way, we can respond quickly when encountering an emergency. Cao Ren turned over and got off the horse, walked to the side of the official road, sat and rested under the shade of the tree, and waited for the soldiers in charge of cooking to fill his stomach.

At this time, a small school under Cao Ren ran over, smiled, and then sat down.

The school's head turned around and said, "General, we have escorted enough food and grass for the army for three months. With these food and grass, they are enough to defeat Wang Can, and then support the army to return to Yanzhou. After we arrived at the camp, can we go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make contributions? The brothers have been escorting food and grass, and they are all ready to go to the battlefield."

Cao Ren glared at the school and said, "Do whatever the lord told me to do, don't think too much!"

The primary school did not get the answer, so they curled their lips and stopped talking.

Seeing that the school was a little disappointed, Cao Ren said, "Don't worry, today's chaotic times are frequent, and there is a chance for you to go to the battlefield. Haha, as soldiers who escort food and grass, you don't have to fight to the death. You don't know how lucky you have to have such a leisurely errand, but you want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and you don't understand!"

The young school clenches his fists and said, "General, I am taking you as an example and I want to be a general!"

The primary school looked very serious, which made Cao Ren laugh.

In fact, after hearing the little school's words, a trace of expectation flashed in Cao Ren's eyes.

For generals like the army, going to the battlefield to kill enemies and make achievements and achieve achievements is the most desirable thing. When a man is alive, he will make achievements and strengthen the country. When he goes out, he will wear a horse and tie his body to show his reputation. How can he do nothing? However, Cao Ren knew that food and grass were the lifeblood of the army, so he escorted food and grass with all his heart.

Soon, the fragrant smell of rice was already floating on the official road.

The soldiers gathered together, eating and talking.

Cao Ren also walked over and had a big pot meal with the soldiers. While the soldiers were having dinner, the weeds swayed slightly in the woods a hundred meters away, and then there was no movement. On the official road, there was no other sound except for the lively and noisy sound of the soldiers under Cao Ren.

...

Yizhou Army, in the camp.

In the central army's tent, when Wang Can was handling the military affairs, Xu Rong and Lu Meng came to the tent together.

At this time, six days have passed since the battle between Wang Can and Cao Cao. In the past few days, neither side has sent troops. Wang Can is waiting for the opportunity to deal with a fatal blow to Cao Cao; Cao Cao sent people to speed up the making of knife chariots, hoping to give Wang Can a big "surprise". Both sides have their own ideas and their own plans.

Wang Can looked at the two of them and asked, "Changming, is there any news about Cao's army's food and supplies?"

Xu Rong and Lu Meng were always in charge of Cao Cao's food and grass, so when Wang Can saw them come to pay his respects to him, he immediately thought that they must have found Cao Cao's generals escorted the food and grass.

Xu Rong nodded and clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the generals under Cao Cao led more than 600 people to escort the food and grass to Cao's camp. According to the scout's estimate, the escort was escorted this time, which was enough for tens of thousands of soldiers in Cao's camp to have three months of food. If the lord could grab all the food and grass back, Cao Cao's army would be short of food."

After hearing this, Wang Can asked again: "Is there only six hundred people?"

Lu Meng and Xu Rong nodded at the same time and said, "There are only six hundred people."

After hearing this, Wang Can immediately fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Wang Can said, "There are only 300 people in the Langya Camp. Although it is equipped with Ma Jun crossbow and Hanjian, it is still difficult to wipe out all 600 people without leaking any news. In this way, I will let Pei Yuanshao lead 400 soldiers with you. With Pei Yuanshao's help, all the soldiers under Cao Cao can be wiped out."

"promise!"

The two of them answered with a fist clasped their fists, with an excited expression on their faces.

This time, Cao Cao was settled.

After the two left Wang Can's camp, they headed to the camp where Pei Yuanshao lived. After receiving the news, Pei Yuanshao excitedly ordered four hundred soldiers, and then left with the three hundred wolf-toothed soldiers under Lu Meng's command.

However, after the seven hundred people left the camp, they did not choose to bypass Cao Cao's camp to sneak attack the soldiers who were escorting food and grass. Instead, they went south and headed towards Yizhou so that they could avoid Cao Cao's spies' investigation. After avoiding Cao Cao's spies' sight, Lu Meng, Xu Rong and Pei Yuanshao led their troops to the east and rushed to the east.

After such a struggle, the army quietly rushed to the team behind Cao's army to escort grain.

Xu Rong led his troops to attack, but Wang Can did not stay in the camp.

In order to prevent Cao Cao from having time to deal with food and grass, he simply led a large army to Cao Cao's camp and asked Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun to fight, hoping to attract Cao Cao's attention and let Cao Cao go to war.

With Wang Can leading the troops as cover, it will be much easier for Lu Meng and Xu Rong.
