Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1819 Grain Dao Competition VII

After a while, Wei Tong, the elder of the Wei family and the leader of the elders, spoke slowly: "General Chen Dao, my Wei family has always followed the example of the Ming court. As for the matter of Wei Ning, we have not strictly supervised it. There are thieves in the house, my Wei family is willing to plead guilty to this matter, let it go, and ask the general to be merciful!"

"Excuse me, who is this?" Chen Dao didn't know Wei Tong.

"Old Wei Tong, Wei Zhenming!" Wei Tong introduced himself, but there was a hint of arrogance in his words.

"So it's the famous Duke Zhenming of the Wei family!"

Chen Dao had heard of it a little bit.

The Wei family is a real aristocratic family with profound family heritage. The so-called family heritage is not the land and wealth, but the knowledge inheritance and personal connections.

And the Wei family's connections are concentrated on this old man.

This is a great Confucian who can sit and discuss Taoism with Cai Gong.

Not to mention Taoli Tianxia, ​​but there are also many scholars who are willing to take risks for him. Not to mention raising their arms and shouting for everyone in Hedong, but in Hedong Shilin, he is indeed a famous person.

This is the kind of person who may not be able to accomplish anything, but who wants to destroy you, and can do it 100%.

So Chen Dao had to be careful.

"Mr. Zhenming, the younger generation is a martial artist, and the martial artist doesn't have so much thought. I'm here today, and I can't be regarded as asking for a crime, but this time we are transporting grain to the north, which is related to the strategy of the entire Ming Dynasty. There is a problem with the Wei family. I You can ignore it, but can your majesty ignore it, or Zhenming believes that Zhaoming Pavilion will not settle accounts after autumn!"

Chen Dao said in a low voice: "Everyone is not a fool, Wei Ning can't do such a thing alone, it's not surprising that the Wei family wants to step on two boats with one foot, after all, outsiders are concerned about whether our Daming can win the world , I still have doubts, aristocratic families have always taken a few more paths, nothing more than for the family to pass on, understandable, but not forgiving, from our standpoint, traitors should be exterminated!"

The killing intent in his mouth was startled, and all the elders of the Wei family broke out in cold sweat.

As a battle-tested person who has killed [-] people if not [-], murderous aura is a real thing, and it will explode if it explodes.

There is no imitation of this intimidating temperament, only a real butcher on the battlefield can show it.

Naturally, it will also make the people of the Wei family terrified.

But the ghost is old, the spirit is old, Wei Tong has lived for so long, and he has met many warriors like Chen Dao. In the past, he was not afraid of the great general Liang Ji, so naturally he would not be afraid of this Point murderous.

Back then, Liang Ji was a real relative who held military power and was also a power minister who was killed step by step. He was a more ruthless and powerful person than Dong Zhuo.

Wei Tong took a deep breath and calmed down. Although he was not intimidated by Chen Dao, he was somewhat uneasy because he knew the situation well.

Wei's family is on the east side of the river, so it doesn't mean they don't know the situation, especially in the battle at the door of the house, the Ming army first destroyed the Yan army, and now they are confronting the Wei army.

Although many people think that the Ming army, which has gone through a hard battle, may be defeated by the Wei army, but in fact, the curtain has not come to an end, and the outcome is not known for a day.

Now the Shangdang Ming army is short of food, and the Ming army is transporting food northward, but there is a problem in the east of the river.

Calculated in this way, even if Chen Dao does not destroy their Wei family, if the Ming court wants to settle accounts in the future, their Wei family will not be able to escape, and even Wei Ke will not be able to protect himself.

At this time, Wei Tong had to make a decision, but this decision would only leave the Wei family with a future. Either they survived this test and might make a comeback in the future, or they were directly killed by the Ming army and settled after the fall.

No matter what, Wei Tong believes that the most important thing is to pass the current hurdle: "General Chen Dao, Wei Ning's fault, although we don't know about it, it is also our Wei family's fault, and the Wei family pleaded guilty. General Chen Dao is willing to come here, and he will definitely not slaughter our Wei family, but I don’t know how General Chen Dao thinks, how the Wei family can redeem their sins!"

"Mr. Zhenming really knows how to deal with troubled times!"

Chen Dao smiled.

He's a little clever, so he shouldn't play tricks. These old guys are all long-lived human spirits, and it's really hard to play tricks with them.

At this time, he would want to know that he felt so difficult just facing the last Wei family. The Mujing New Deal was rampant, and he was facing so many aristocratic families. How did he get over it?

These aristocratic families, there are highly respected scholars in the family, with knowledge handed down from generation to generation, I don’t know how many scholars are willing to worship under the family, and there is land and population outside the family, and there is support from the local gentry and nobles. What a risk they have to take.

"Since this is the case, I won't go around in circles with you guys anymore!" Chen Dao gave up fighting with them, and said directly, "This time, your Wei family made a mistake, and I caught the blame, so let's not complain for now. Don't file a complaint, and don't say what will happen to the court and His Majesty after the complaint, just now, even if I send troops to defeat your Hedong Wei clan, even Wei Boqi will not be able to say anything at that time!"

All the elders looked at each other helplessly when they heard the words, because what Chen Dao said was straightforward but very correct. Under the current situation, the Wei family wanted to be a bitch and set up an archway, so they were called Caught one right on.

At this time, Chen Dao wanted to kill them without destroying them, but with their little army soldiers, they couldn't even charge Chen Dao.

"Of course!"

Chen Daozhan smiled, relieved the tense atmosphere, and continued: "I don't want to do some things that are ugly. Besides, killing you will not bring me any sense of accomplishment, let alone make me better." Complete my task, so I don't need to do this, but if I make a mistake, I will always have to pay the price!"

"So please tell General Chen Dao clearly!"

Wei Tong was still very calm, what he was afraid of was Chen Dao's impulsiveness, but now it seems that Chen Dao is not an impulsive person, since he can talk, this is the best thing to remember, he said calmly.

"Three conditions, if it can be fulfilled, this matter will be written off, and I will not mention it in front of anyone!"

Chen Daodao: "First, I want Anyi to be as stable as Mount Tai and become a transit point for me to transport grain to the north. If there is any problem in Anyi, I will attack your Hedong Wei clan as soon as possible and kill you all. Let's talk about other things!"

"can!"

Wei Tong nodded.

"Second!" Chen Dao continued, "I want your Wei family to prepare food and grass in Hedong in the name of the Hedong family. You can prepare as much as you can in the shortest time, but at least it should not be less than 20 shi!"

"20 million stone?"

"Our harvest is not good this year either!"

"During the war, granaries everywhere were taken care of, how could there be 20 shi!"

Everyone opened their mouths.

"That's your business!" Chen Daoshi said calmly: "I believe that you can do it. He Dong said it was big or small. The Wei family is the emperor of He Dong, and you will have a way!"

"I promise you!"

Wei Tong knew that he had no second choice at all. If he dared to say no, the young man in front of him would dare to kill him. If he didn't kill him, it would be a very terrible consequence just to kill his Wei family.

"There is also a third point. I know that the Wei family in Hedong doesn't talk about covering the sky with one hand, but they are also raising their arms. Countless gentry and wealthy families will follow!" This is what Chen Dao cares about the most. Even our Jingwu Division and Yelou under the command of King Wei are not as clever as you local snakes. This time the Wei army cavalry has been killed, and there is still a lot of strength left. Next, they will definitely find a way to surprise us. , in order to ensure the stability of the food road, I must trap and kill them, so you must provide them with the most detailed information!"

This made Wei Tong slightly silent, and his hand holding the cane tightened a little.

Messages are not a problem.

The problem is that this is their way of retreat. This is to cut off their way of retreat and let them devote themselves to the Ming court.

But it doesn’t work if you don’t agree.

Again, they have nowhere to go.

"can!"

Wei Tong said gloomyly: "But we only provide information, and we don't participate in the rest. After all, the Wei army's cavalry is fierce, and my family's army can't afford it!"

"make a deal!"

Chen Dao left Wei's house with satisfaction.

The Wei family immediately fried the pot.

"Uncle, is this really the case?"

"Brother, the Ming army is deceiving people too much!"

"How can we get together 20 shi of grain!"

"..."

There was a lot of discussion.

Wei Tong stared at everyone with his falcon-like old eyes, and after a while, he said quietly: "If you have other ways, you can say, if not, in order to protect the family, the only way is to agree to him!"

Everyone was silent for a while. Now that they have come to kill them, even if they can reason with the soldiers, the reason is not on their side, so how can they talk.

"The road, sometimes it is our own to go, and now they are forcing us to go all the way to the dark, but it is better than we have no way to go!"

Wei Tong said coldly: "Although the three conditions are difficult, we can still achieve them!"

"Uncle, can't we get 20 shi of grain?"

The younger elder spoke.

"We can't get it out. Can't so many families in Hedong get it together? Tell them, now is the time to save their lives, who dare not follow, the Ming army will not kill, my Wei family will come to ransack the family and exterminate the family, and tell them that if the Wei family wants to Miemen, they must die in front of the Wei family first, so don't play tricks on anyone!"

Wei Tong said domineeringly.

The Wei family has been based in Hedong for many years, and they are confident in saying this. If their Wei family is really destroyed by the Ming army, then before that, he would not mind bringing a large number of people to be buried with them.

"Where are those Wei cavalry?"

"Now that people have figured out our thoughts, there is no choice. Either we find them, or let the Ming army kill us!"

Wei Tongdao: "Tell all counties and families to pay close attention, don't let go of any clues, don't leak any news, find them!"

"Yes!"

Everyone could only hold their noses and bear it.

........................

When Chen Dao returned to the temporary school yard, Fang Shi had already escorted the grain truck into the city, and the long grain truck made the whole team very bloated.

"The Wei family has been settled. There won't be any problems here in Anyi for a short time. Today our entire army rests, and tomorrow morning we will go north to transport food!"

Chen Dao said in a low voice.

"But the cavalry of the Wei army is still there. Now we haven't wiped them out. With their cavalry advantage, they may return to attack!"

Fang Shi was a little worried.

"It's okay!"

Chen Daodao: "At this point, we can only gamble once to lure the snake out of the hole, otherwise they will keep staring at us like poisonous snakes, and we can't do anything!"

"They will definitely be very cautious!"

"Now I have asked the Wei family to find them, and as long as the Wei family orders, even if there are so many gentry and wealthy families in the east of the river, they will not give them any more convenience even if they don't report to us. I will cut off their news and supplies, so they Not many options at all!"

Chen Dao spread out a marching map, and said: "We are going northward in a big way. The food in the car is real, and the food team is also real. I used the most real bait to lure them out, and we must annihilate them. I think these points are the points where they are most likely to attack us, everyone, take a look, where do you think the most likely point is!"

"It should be a plain!"

A school lieutenant pointed to the marching map and said: "This is the most likely place, not far from Anyi. We have just left Anyi, and it is a plain area, suitable for cavalry to charge!"

"Fangshuyuan!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the point pointed by the captain.

"No!"

Fang Shi put forward a different opinion: "Although this is a plain, there is no ambush distance. If it is a long-distance attack, we have already set up a defensive position before they attack. It is unlikely here, and Now that the Wei army cavalry has been defeated, they need to rest for a few days, they dare not attack these days, so I don't think they will deal with us on this plain!"

The generals fell silent, what Fang Shi said was reasonable.

Chen Dao thought for a while and said, "Then what about here?"

He pointed to a place not far from Huo Dashan.

"Heshuiyuan!"

Everyone's eyes quickly became serious.

"From here, it is the mountain road. It is actually the most difficult for cavalrymen like them to attack us on the mountain road, so it is best for them to ambush us before entering the mountain road!"

Someone agreed: "Even if we hurry up, it will take at least two days to reach Heshuiyuan from here. This will give them enough time to rest. At this time, they may have enough physical strength to launch an attack!"

"Why must it be a plain?"

Some objected.

"Lieutenant Xu means that even if the cavalry is not in the plains, they can attack us. Although they are a little scattered, our food transportation team is too large and bloated. Even if there is a main force to protect us, once it is broken through, the entire army will be destroyed. The grain team will be defeated..."

Fang Shi looked at the young captain, his voice became tighter and tighter, his aura suddenly flickered, and he said: "I think it makes sense, if it wasn't for Ping Yuan, there are actually only two points that they can attack us. , one is here, this is a valley, we have to go through it, they can cut off our team as long as they divide their forces to intercept, and the other is near the river, we have to cross the river and attack halfway, They are most likely!"

"It seems that we have a lot to defend!"

Chen Dao smiled wryly.

They also had no way of guessing the thoughts of General Cao Xiu of the Wei Army. Even though Cao Xiu was young, he was very stable. After this battle, Chen Dao still knew him a little bit.

If it is a general with insufficient adaptability, it is impossible to break out of the city in time. If you want to break through, you must grasp the timing very well and have a very strong adaptability.

Finally Cao Xiu broke through.

This proves that Cao Xiu's way is not simple, and they are all a little unfamiliar with Cao Xiu's way. They are too young and don't have many battle examples to explore, so there are infinite possibilities.

"General, there is one more point!"

Fang Shi said in a low voice: "Hedong is not far from Hanoi. The main force of the Wei army is in Hanoi. If Cao Xiu invites troops to Hanoi, then their reinforcements will be cavalry and they will be able to enter Hedong within a few days to fight!"

He sighed: "We fought a battle. Although we fought beautifully, it was too ruthless. It is undoubtedly telling Cao Xiu that we are the main force to transport food northward, so Cao Xiu will definitely ask for help!"

"Xu Yuanzhi has already thought of this point!" Chen Dao closed his eyes, recalling what Xu Shu said when he left Luoyang, and after a while, he said: "The reason why Xu Yuanzhi launched an attack in Hanoi was to cover us. , I believe that his ability and calculation can delay us for a few days at least, so we must seize this time, quickly break through their attack range, and transport food and grass to the Shangdang as soon as possible!"

Xu Shu's troops were small, but in order to hold back the Wei army, he first used the Liaodong army to attack Xiahouyuan. Xiahouyuan should be the main general of the Wei army to intercept their food and grass going north.

Xia Houyuan was stopped, and then Xu Shu was using false images to confuse the guards from all walks of life, making Wei Jun think that he was the main force to transport grain northward, and those cavalry would naturally pursue them.

In this way, it will take at least a few days for them to react, and these few days are the only time Chen Dao can control.

"We are now fighting with our backs!"

Chen Dao looked at the generals, his face sank slightly, he was a little serious, his voice was a little cold, but also determined: "I must leave Hedong within three days!"

"Yes!"

Although it was difficult for the generals to take the order, they were all high-spirited, bright soldiers, and never gave up. Besides, they didn't think they couldn't do it.

"Fang Shi!"

"exist!"

"It's better for you to lead the food team, and I will lead the escort!" Chen Daodao: "But this time we will not separate, we must cooperate, your task is to protect the food, and leave the rest to me, but we must maintain certain The tacit understanding, when it's time to leave, don't hesitate!"

"Yes!"

Fang Shi took a deep breath and said, "I will cooperate with the general and ensure that the food is transported to the north safely!"
