Entering the camp, Wang Can, Lu Meng and Zhang Hu acted separately.
Lu Meng led the people to the direction of Zhang Lu; Zhang Hu led the people to the direction of Yan Pu.
With a flattering smile on his face, Yang Hong led Wang Can towards the warehouse where the food was stored. Along the way, although he encountered soldiers on night watch in the camp several times, Yang Hong dealt with them easily.
Wang Can and Yang Hong walked hand in hand and suddenly asked: "Yang Hong, do you know the general responsible for guarding the grain warehouse?"
Yang Hong glanced at Wang Can and saw Wang Can staring at him. He thought for a while, nodded and said: "Sir, the general who guards the grain warehouse is named Hu Lin. I have invited him to drinks several times in my humble position, and we have some friendship."
As he spoke, Yang Hong showed a trace of pride on his face.
Now, it's time for him, Yang Hong, to show off.
Wang Shan is his backer for the time being, but one day he will surpass Wang Shan.
Unfortunately, Yang Hong didn't know that Wang Shan was Wang Can, and it was absolutely impossible for him to surpass Wang Shan.
When Wang Can heard that Yang Hong said that he had a friendship with Hu Lin, he felt happy and said, "Very good. You have a friendship with Hu Lin. Things will be much easier to handle. When you arrive at the warehouse where the grain and grass are stored, you can go and talk to Hu Lin."
Lin struck up a conversation and asked him for some food. The eleven of us are the soldiers who will carry the food for you. You take us into the warehouse to carry the food."
Yang Hong nodded, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely complete the mission."
Wang Can smiled and said: "As long as the matter is completed, I will truthfully report your credit and take credit for you."
Yang Hong nodded and bowed, thanking: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
Although Yang Hong didn't know that Wang Shan was Wang Can and the person standing in front of him was the prefect of Hanzhong. However, this did not prevent Yang Hong from currying favor with Wang Can. He now regarded himself as an official of Hanzhong, and Wang Can was Yang Hong.
Temporary supporter. Therefore, Yang Hong behaved respectfully and could not see any dissatisfaction.
A group of people walked towards the camp where food was stored.
"Sir, we will be here soon."
Yang Hong looked at the blazing torches in front of him and the soldiers standing guard and said softly.
Wang Can also saw countless soldiers in front of him. He said yes and motioned to Yang Hong to continue moving forward.
Immediately, Wang Can stopped for a moment, distanced himself from Yang Hong, and let Yang Hong walk in front. Because Wang Can and other teenagers acted as Yang Hong's subordinates, naturally they could not walk side by side with Yang Hong, and could only be respectful.
He followed Yang Hong and showed the etiquette that a subordinate should have.
Yang Hong held his head high and strode forward. As he approached the warehouse, Captain Hu Lin, who was in charge of guarding the warehouse, saw Yang Hong with a look of surprise on his face and exclaimed: "Hey, isn't this Yang Hong, Mr. Yang?"
?You are responsible for inspecting the camp and responsible for the safety of the camp. You are busy with official duties. How can you have free time to come to the rear camp granary? "
There was a hint of surprise and flattery in his tone.
After hearing this, Yang Hong smiled and said, "Master Hu, isn't this what I want from you? I came to see you?"
Hu Lin's expression changed and he scolded: "Brother Yang, let's see, who is following whom? They are all buddies. If you say you want something from me, you are just out of touch. You don't treat your eldest brother as a brother."
When Yang Hong saw Hu Lin calling him brothers, he sighed in his heart and secretly cursed Hu Lin for being a bad guy who acted according to the prevailing circumstances.
In the past, when Yang Bai had not made meritorious deeds, Yang Hong would always talk down to Hu Lin and have to spend money to buy good wine and food to serve him. Now Yang Bai has defeated two generals, Wang Can and Wang Can, and his status has risen sharply. Youdao
One person attained enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, Yang Bai's status improved, and Yang Hong's status as a distant relative of Yang Bai also improved a lot. They all wanted to curry favor with Yang Hong and let Yang Hong say a few nice words in front of Yang Bai.
Good words.
Hu Lin is one of them.
In the past, it was Yang Hong who sought help from Hu Lin, but now Hu Lin seeks help from Yang Hong.
In such a situation, Yang Hong wanted to laugh a few times and vent his joy. However, Yang Hong needed Hu Lin's help. He smiled and said: "Brother, I need your help!"
Hu Lin thought for a while and said: "Brother Yang, you are also a general in the army. You know the rules of the army. I can't make the decision on many things, and I don't dare to make the decision. So, as long as I am the eldest brother, I can do it.
, never refuse; if you can't do it, try your best to help your brother, what do you think?"
Yang Hong said gratefully: "Brother Hu, don't worry, the younger brother's matter is very simple and he won't embarrass the elder brother."
Hu Lin said: "Well, tell me, what is it?"
Yang Hong glanced at the soldiers behind him and said with a smile: "We have just recruited some new soldiers in our army. These people are like the reincarnation of evil spirits. They eat a lot. The food supplied by the army is not enough. Brother, I will come to see my eldest brother.
I hope that the eldest brother will be noble and help my brothers, what do you think?"
Hu Lin heard this and asked: "Brother, food is the foundation of an army. Are you making things difficult for me?"
Yang Hong said: "Don't worry, brother, your hard work on this matter will not be in vain. I will go to my cousin immediately after I go back and say a few nice words to him in front of him. What do you think?"
Hu Lin chuckled and said, "Brother, how much food do we need? Less is fine, but too much is not."
Yang Hong said: "Brother, I have to think about things for you, right? I only need one stone of food."
When Hu Lin heard this, he smiled and said: "One stone of grain in the warehouse is almost negligible. I still have the right to misappropriate this grain. Let's go to the warehouse with me." After saying that, Hu Lin walked in front,
Let the soldiers guarding the warehouse open the warehouse, and then enter the warehouse first.
Yang Hong looked at Wang Can, nodded, turned around and followed Hu Lin into the warehouse.
The group of people quickly walked towards the warehouse.
After entering the warehouse, a pungent smell hit my nose.
Hu Lin frowned and said: "Brother, the food is piled in the warehouse. You can take care of it yourself. Brother, I will go out first."
After saying that, Hu Lin hurried out.
He was not worried about Yang Hong trying to hide the grain. After all, the grain was packed in sacks. If he wanted to move it, several people would have to carry it out of the warehouse. Hu Lin only had to wait outside the warehouse and wait for Yang Hong to carry the grain.
, you can know how much food Yang Hong took. If Yang Hong took too much, he could have people stop Yang Hong; if he took too little, he would just turn a blind eye and let Yang Hong leave.
Therefore, Hu Lin left the warehouse with peace of mind and allowed Yang Hong to carry the grain.
"Ahem!" Yang Hong was choked by the pungent smoke and coughed twice, and said: "Master Wang, the matter has been settled, what should we do next?"
Wang Can didn't seem to hear Yang Hong's words. He looked at the mountains of food and muttered to himself: "Zhang Lu only has an army of tens of thousands, how could he hoard so much food?"
As soon as you see it, you can see stacks of sacks containing grain piled up into mountains. Countless grains are piled in makeshift warehouses. Wang Can can't help but be envious of such a large amount of grain. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, one stone of grain was equal to about 120 Han dynasties.
Jin, converted into the current Jinliang, is about 15 kilograms. In other words, one stone of grain in the Han Dynasty was equivalent to about 30 kilograms.
Zhang Lu led the army to attack Wang Can. There were 36,000 soldiers under his command. The soldiers traveled long distances and lacked fuel and water. They were all big eaters and had extremely large appetites.
A conservative estimate is that each soldier eats one pound of food a day.
All the soldiers combined consumed 36,000 kilograms of food a day.
Calculated, it takes at least one thousand shi of food to be consumed in a day, and 10,000 shi of food in a month. However, Wang Can carefully looked at the spacious warehouse, and there were countless grains in stock, definitely more than 300,000 shi. So much.
The food was enough to feed the army led by Zhang Lu for several years.
Liu Yan sent troops to attack him, how could he supply so much food?
This scene made Wang Can full of doubts.
Seeing Wang Can in a daze, Yang Hong said: "Master Wang, we encountered a heavy rain some time ago. Zhang Lu sent people several times to urge Liu Yan to say that the grain was soaked by the heavy rain and became moldy and unusable, and asked Liu Yan to escort the grain to support the army.
It took several food supplies in a row to have so much food."
Wang Can asked: "You actually know?"
Yang Hong smiled awkwardly and said, "I just listened to what others said."
Wang Can looked at the mountains of grain and said with a proud look on his face: "Zhang Lu hoarded so much grain because he wanted to conquer Hanzhong and then separate himself from Hanzhong and stand on his own feet! Very good, very good... I accepted this much grain with a smile.
"
Yang Hong listened to Wang Can's words and didn't understand why.
But Yang Hong figured out one thing: the grain accumulated in the warehouse must be put into Wang Can's warehouse.
Wang Can asked Yang Hong to take him into the warehouse where food and grass were stored. His original intention was to burn the food, ignite a fire, and cause chaos in the Yizhou Army. However, when he found that there were hundreds of thousands of stones of food piled in the warehouse, Wang Can started to occupy it.
It was just for his own sake. After all, hundreds of thousands of dans of grain were enough to support Wang Can's army for several years, which would also speed up the development of Hanzhong.
Yang Hong asked: "Master Wang, what should we do next?"
Wang Can smiled and said: "Of course we are moving food, what else can we do?"
Yang Hong asked: "So much food? How to move it away?"
Wang Can secretly scolded Yang Hong for being stupid. Yang Hong asked Hu Lin for food. If he didn't take some food to cover it up, he would definitely not be able to get through. Wang Can said: "Hu Lin is waiting outside, we must get it."
Just order some food, otherwise it will easily make people suspicious, do you understand?"
Yang Hong nodded, showing an understanding look.
Wang Can pointed his hand at the two teenagers closest to him and ordered: "You two, go carry a bag of grain. It doesn't take much, just make a show."
"promise!"
The two teenagers responded and immediately selected a smaller sack.
Yang Hong walked at the front, Wang Can walked behind, and the group quickly walked out of the warehouse.
