Eight hundred and eleventh chapters where the grain is stored
There is some truth in what Sima Yi said. From Tao Shang's point of view, all the military camps on his side are being attacked by the enemy. To a certain extent, it does seem to have been planned for a long time.
The potter gently tapped the battlements of the city wall with his fingers, carefully thinking about what he should do next.
When he was young, he turned around and ordered: "Brother Fengxiao, quickly dispatch the elite school officials from the school affairs office to find out which enemy generals are attacking each battalion of our army? I want to see the opponent's night attack.
, how big a battle it is.”
Guo Jia took the order and left. He was the head of the school affairs office and had the most direct authority to order the school affairs office. If he personally gave the order, it would naturally be the fastest in terms of speed.
After giving the order and going out, the pottery merchant carefully looked at the firelights of various camps in the distance and fell into deep contemplation.
The local army has just arrived at its territory, and the battle is just between Ma Chao and Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun fought for a while. It can be said that neither our own side nor the enemy has reached the stage of a full-scale attack.
Even if it's a night attack, there's no need for such a big battle, right?
He turned to look at Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Su and Chen Deng behind him.
It is obvious that these four people are also thinking about the fishery involved, but judging from their expressions, it is obvious that these four people have not fully thought about what is going on.
The fire in the distance was like a domino effect. The fire continued to increase, and the shouts of death became louder and louder. It felt as if there were enemies from all directions.
Not long after, Guo Jia brought back news from the school affairs office.
"The opponent made quite a move this time. The people who attacked Taishi Ci's camp were Wen Chou, Cao Chun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, Pang De, Xia Houyuan, Huang Shao and Liu Xun.
When Cao Cao's generals all went out to fight, Ma Chao and Yan Xing, the enemy's vanguard army, were also attacking Gan Ning's and Zhou Tai's camps respectively. On the Jingzhou side, Liu Biao's men were led by generals Cai and Huang Zu, Deng Xi, Lu
Jie, Su Fei, Liu Xian and other troops have also been dispatched, cooperating with Cao's army to harass our army's troops. However, the enemy army does not seem to be fighting with all its strength. The troops are just wandering around and setting fire, which seems to be a plan to exhaust the army.
The generals stationed outside have been mobilized in full force, and they are currently guarding their camps and dealing with each other."
Tao Shang raised his eyebrows and said: "So, except for the princes of Guanzhong, basically everyone who should come out of the enemy army has come out?"
Guo Jia nodded.
At this moment, Chen Shang stepped forward and said: "Although the enemy's troops are numerous and their generals are many, our army also has many soldiers and generals, so there is nothing to worry about. The Prime Minister only needs to mediate and send troops
The government will always inquire about the situation, and no matter how capable Cao Cao and Liu Biao are, they will not be able to cause any trouble, but right now, there is a place that requires careful precautions."
The potter turned to look at him and said, "Where?"
Chen Deng said word for word: "It's our granary in Qigu."
Qi Valley is located thirty miles southeast of Qufu. It is extremely secretive and is the place where the pottery merchants stored grain. Basically, the grain, grass and weapons needed by the 300,000-strong army were stored there for the turnover supply of the three armies.
It can be said that the safety of Qi Gu is related to the survival of the three armies of the pottery merchants.
The pottery merchant nodded and said: "Yuan Long is right. Send a message to Zhao Yun quickly!"
When he was young, Zhao Yun strode to the pottery merchant's side.
"The Prime Minister called me?"
"Second brother, lead the Jinling White Horse Army and quickly go to Qi Valley to assist in the defense. No matter what, the granary must not be lost."
Zhao Yun accepted the order and turned back to order troops.
The pottery merchant also began to issue military orders, asking the generals of the main camp in Qufu City to lead their troops to various camps for rescue.
Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Tao Ji, Jiang Qin, Hu Cai, Ji Ling, Dong Xi, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Guo Yuan and others took orders to go out.
The pottery merchant, on the other hand, is sitting in the city of Qufu, waiting for the battle reports from the front at any time and controlling the overall situation so as to make strategic adjustments at any time.
At this moment, Pei Qian came to report that it was Tian Feng who wanted to see him.
After Tian Feng returned to Xuzhou, although he became a subordinate of the pottery merchant in name, he rarely offered suggestions and usually lived in seclusion, basically having no sense of existence.
Tao Shang knew that the reason why Tian Feng still stayed under his command was entirely due to the conditions reached with him back then, because he had preserved a bloodline of the Yuan family, nothing more, nothing more.
When he was young, Tian Feng, led by Pei Qian, came to the city tower.
The old man first looked at the raging fire burning in the distance, and then he couldn't help but sigh and said: "You people are still young and energetic. Being young is a good thing, but sometimes it is easy to overlook some of the most important things."
The potter raised his eyebrows and looked at him confused.
"Mr. Yuan Hao, what do you mean by this?"
Tian Feng stared at the pottery merchant seriously for a long time, and then sighed: "Prime Minister Tao, have you sent troops to reinforce the grain storage area?"
Tao Shang seriously agreed with him for a while, and then said: "Yes, the enemy is completely harassing us tonight, and I'm afraid that their soldiers will also attack Qi Valley. After all, that is the lifeline of our army, so I will
Send Zhao Yun there to assist Li Tong, who is guarding the area, to guard against any eventuality."
Tian Feng shook his head and said: "This step is really a wrong move."
The pottery merchant couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
I want to protect the lifeblood of the granary, how can I go wrong?
"The other party's move is to find out where your food and grass lifeline is. As long as you send troops to reinforce the food station, you will not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the enemy's scouts. If what I expected is correct, from the time Zhao Yun left Linzi
From the moment he heads towards Qi Valley, the enemy's eyes and ears are likely to be focused on him."
Tao Shang touched his chin and said calmly: "You are saying that the enemy's purpose of attacking our army at night is to expose the location of my food storage? That's all."
Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Of course not, and they will definitely send one of the most elite soldiers and horses to take the opportunity to burn food!"
The potter lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Why are you so sure?"
Tian Feng walked to the edge of the city wall, pointed to the burning fire in the distance and the scattered shouts of killing everywhere, and said: "Although the fire is fierce and the shouts of killing are everywhere, have you ever truly
Have you ever received an emergency call from a certain camp?”
"No……"
"That's it. If this is a large-scale night attack, but no one from the camp sends anyone to ask for help, what does it mean? It means that the defenses of the generals and generals are relatively capable and sufficient to cope with it. And the reason why it happened
This situation shows that the opponent's night attack this time is just to show their offensive, but in fact they are not fighting hard."
The pottery merchant suddenly said: "So that's it. They are just showing off and attacking at will. They don't really want to fight desperately..."
"Unless you have other intentions, why do you do this?" Tian Feng asked Tao Shangdao.
The pottery merchant nodded and said: "It seems that I have to go to Qi Valley in person. We were careless. Thank you Mr. Yuan Hao for the tip."
