The soldiers under Cao Ren were dealt with cleanly, and Cao Ren was also tied up.
After everything was taken care of, Lu Meng gave an order and asked the soldiers to escort the grain and grass back to the Yizhou military camp.
When the army came to intercept Cao Ren, they did not encounter the scouts from Cao Ren's camp. It was dark now and it was late at night, so they would not encounter them. The army returned along the original road.
Although it is a bit of a detour, it is safe. Lu Meng has 300 Langya Camp soldiers under his command, and Pei Yuanshao has brought another 400 infantry. The total is 700 people, which is a medium-sized force. However, once they encounter
Even the brave soldiers of Langya Camp could not resist Cao Cao's army, so the army quietly returned the same way it came.
At dawn, the army finally escaped Cao Cao's threat and rushed on the official road from Yizhou to Chang'an.
This section of the journey is already within Wang Can's sphere of influence, so there is no need to worry about Cao Cao's threat.
"Boom!"
As the night faded, the sky was supposed to be getting brighter and brighter, but suddenly it became dark without any sunlight. In the sky, clusters of dark clouds shrouded the sky, and snake-like lightning kept shining.
"Crack!"
Thunder breaks out and autumn rain falls.
"Crash!"
Big raindrops fell down, splashing dust on the ground, and a pungent smell of dust rushed up in an instant. This is the first rain after autumn. After the heavy rain, the weather will gradually turn cooler.
.
It rained heavily, but there was nowhere to take shelter.
After a while, all the soldiers were drowned.
Pei Yuanshao stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, with an anxious look on his face, and said, "Amon, with the rain falling, the food we just grabbed may go wrong. What should we do?"
Lu Meng stretched out his hand to wipe the rain off his face and laughed.
He reached out and took off the iron helmet on his head, threw it to the soldiers of Langya Camp behind him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Pei, it doesn't matter, Yizhou is rich in food, and our camp has plenty of food. Transport this food back,
It won't be of much use. The most important thing is that we robbed Cao Cao of food and starved the soldiers under Cao Cao's command. This is the most important thing."
Pei Yuanshao was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Amon, why are you laughing?"
Lu Meng spread his palms, looked at the heavy rain that kept falling, and said: "I laugh, God is helping us. We killed 600 soldiers on the official road. The blood flowed into a river, and the blood dyed the ground red, making it easy to be discovered.
.Now that an autumn rain has fallen, all the blood stains will be washed away, and the traces on the ground will disappear. Cao Cao will definitely not be able to find the problem in a short period of time."
Xu Rong nodded secretly, with a smile on his face.
This autumn rain is a timely rain!
The army did not stop and continued on its way. On the muddy road, the horses pulling the grain and grass raised their heads and neighed, but they could only drag the grain and grass on their way back to the camp.
The road was muddy and the pace was much slower.
According to the initial estimate, we should arrive at the camp at noon, but we ended up arriving in the afternoon.
Wang Can received the news that Lu Meng and others had returned. Wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, he stood at the gate of the camp in the heavy rain to greet Xu Rong, Lu Meng and Pei Yuanshao.
For Wang Can, it is of great significance to snatch back Cao Cao's grain and grass. This is not because Wang Can is in urgent need of grain and grass, but because Cao Cao's headquarters is in Yanzhou, and transporting grain and grass from Yanzhou cannot be completed in a short time. From here
This can be seen from the fact that he transported enough food and fodder for the army for three months.
Without food and grass, Cao Cao would easily fall into trouble.
Wang Can led the army generals and stood at the gate of the camp. When he saw Lu Meng and others who had become drowned rats after being soaked by the heavy rain, he saw the excitement on everyone's faces, and he was very happy in his heart.
Wang Can welcomed the group back to the camp and ordered the soldiers to prepare ginger soup to prevent the soldiers from getting cold.
In the camp, Wang Can was sitting on the main seat with a faint smile on his face.
According to the original plan, Wang Can was going to lead his troops to Cao Cao's camp to fight Cao Cao, but the heavy rain had been falling since early morning and never stopped, and Wang Can was unable to lead his troops to fight.
In the camp, on the left are Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Li Ru, and on the right are generals such as Gao Shun, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.
Not long after, Xu Rong, Lu Meng and Pei Yuanshao came to the big tent.
Wang Can smiled and said: "It only took one night to cut off the grain and grass. It is very good. Please sit down." After the three of them sat down, Wang Can asked: "Chang Ming, please tell me about the grain robbery!"
Xu Rong clasped his fists and said, "My lord, everything is personally directed by the general. The general only obeys the orders of the general. Let the general report back."
Wang Can nodded and looked at Lu Meng.
Lu Meng looked at Xu Rong gratefully, and then said slowly.
Lu Meng did not add any extravagance to what happened during the grain robbery, and explained everything in detail. After Lu Meng finished speaking, everyone in the big tent was very happy.
However, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei were the only ones who were furious. They both clenched their fists and wanted to rush out of the camp immediately and go back to beat their own bastards. This was a great opportunity for Lu Meng to capture the general of Cao Ying.
The two looked at each other with regret on their faces, and then snorted.
Obviously, both of them were sulking.
Dian Wei, in particular, was even more angry. Dian Man was the first to rush to fight, but did not capture the general who was holding the grain, which made him gasp with anger. Then he thought that Dian Man was unwilling to learn his double halberds, and instead found him.
Dian Wei used two heavy hammers to practice martial arts, and Dian Wei became even more angry and panicked.
Wang Can looked at the expressions of Dian Wei and Huang Zhong and felt funny in his heart.
After a pause, Wang Can asked: "Amen, what is the name of the general who is responsible for the food in Cao camp?"
Lu Meng clasped his fists and said: "Teacher, after the disciple caught the general who was guarding the grain, he asked the soldiers to stop his mouth and didn't let him speak. We haven't had time to interrogate him yet. But this person should not be an unknown person, because
When the crossbow arrows were fired at the general, some soldiers took the initiative to block the arrows for him. This shows that the identity of the general in charge of food is very important, otherwise it would not be possible."
Wang Can nodded and ordered: "Have someone bring him in!"
"promise!"
Lü Meng replied and immediately ordered the soldiers to bring in the general who was guarding the grain.
When Cao Ren entered the Chinese army's tent, he was very embarrassed. Especially because he was soaked by the heavy rain, his body was wet, his hair was disheveled, and his face was stained with mud, which made Cao Ren even more embarrassed. Wang Can stared at Cao Ren for a while.
Finally, a look of surprise appeared on his face and he said: "Hey, you are Cao Ren!"
Wang Can is no stranger to Cao Ren.
After all, Wang Can and Cao Cao fought against Dong Zhuo together, and the two sides once cooperated to attack Dong Zhuo's soldiers. Even though Wang Can and Cao Ren did not talk face to face, Wang Can still had an impression that there were named generals under Cao Cao's command.
Cao Ren was recognized by Wang Can, with a look of shame and anger on his face.
It was extremely embarrassing for him to become Wang Can's prisoner or to be recognized in this situation. Cao Ren took a deep breath, suddenly straightened his body, looked serious, and shouted: "Wang Can, a certain family is Cao Ren, and he was captured by you today.
If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please, okay, let’s do it!”
He held his head high, with an expression on his face that he was willing to die generously.
Although he became a prisoner, he could not lose the majesty of General Cao Ying.
ps: The fourth update is completed, let’s call it a day and rest. Well, I once again ask for your flower support and be on the flower list.
