Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Wang Lei returned to Ye County with his soldiers. After the army was settled, Wang Lei immediately summoned the officials to discuss matters.

The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed.

In the hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion, Wang Lei was sitting at the top, looking around at the officials in the hall, Wang Lei said straight to the point: "The threat from Gongsun Zan and Wuhuan has been lifted, and only Yuan Shao and Qingzhou Yellow Turban Bandit Guan Hai are left. Zhang Jaw sent back the news that Blocking Yuan Shao outside the county seat of Ping'en County, Yuan Shao is temporarily unable to go south, and the remaining problem is Guan Hai."

After a brief analysis, Wang Lei continued: "The most important problem at the moment is the lack of food. Soldiers and horses go first without food and grass. Without food and grass, we cannot fight. The most urgent task is to solve the problem of food. With food, we can repel Guan Hai. Not difficult."

Du Ji scratched his head and ears, with a troubled expression: "The humble official has sent people to collect food, but the effect is not great."

Wang Lei flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "I don't want the process, I just want the result. The problem of food must be solved."

Du Ji smiled wryly, this is really difficult.

During this period of time, he was tormented by food matters.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lei's return was a death order.

Seeing that Wang Lei didn't care about the current situation, Xin Ping couldn't help but said: "My lord, the problem of food is probably not easy to solve. Without food, it is impossible to create it out of thin air, and we can't rob the people of food!"

Wang Lei said in a deep voice: "I didn't say to rob the people's food. This is absolutely unacceptable. But if there is no way to gather food, should I take the army and surrender to Yuan Shao? Even, let the yellow scarf bandit Guan Hai in Qingzhou be in Jizhou Raging?"

Xin Ping was speechless, and Wang Lei naturally couldn't surrender.

Anyone can surrender, except Wang Lei.

Guo Jia suddenly said: "My lord, Weijun is adjacent to Dongjun, which is run by Dongjun prefect Cao Cao, and Yanzhou is adjacent to Jizhou. In this case, I think we can send people to Dongjun to visit Cao Cao and ask Cao Cao for food; People went to Yanzhou to buy grain from Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou. During this period of time, there was a shortage of grain, but we could delay it for a while until the grain came back.”

Du Ji's eyes lit up, and he said, "Feng Xiao's idea is good, why didn't I think of it?"

Hearing this, Wang Lei also felt that Guo Jia's strategy was feasible, and immediately ordered: "Since you have an idea of ​​gathering food, go ahead and implement it immediately. This mission is going to the Eastern Commandery, by..."

"Report!"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of soldiers reporting came from outside the hall.

"Come in!"

Wang Lei looked up and saw a soldier running in quickly.

The soldier knelt down on one knee and reported: "My lord, I just received the news that Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, sent someone to deliver [-] shi of grain. At present, the escorted grain has entered Neihuang County and is on its way to Ye County."

As soon as these words came out, a pot exploded in the hall.

"Cao Cao sent food, good, great, finally saved."

"God bless my lord, there is food delivered."

"Cao Cao is really a good man to send charcoal in the snow. As long as the food arrives in Ye County, with the combat power of the soldiers in the army, it will be easy to drive out the Yellow Turbans and defeat Yuan Shao."

One by one the officials were talking, with excited expressions on their faces.

At this moment, everyone fell into ecstasy.

Just now, they were fighting to collect food, but in the blink of an eye, Cao Cao sent someone to deliver [-] shi of food. Although the food is not much, it is enough to relieve Wang Lei's current crisis. This is the real timely help.

Wang Lei was stunned for a moment, then recovered immediately, with an excited expression on his face.Wang Lei stood up abruptly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Where is Dian Wei?"

"The end is here!"

Dian Wei stood up and answered with clasped fists.

With a smile on the corner of Wang Lei's mouth, he ordered: "Call out the cavalry from the Flying Tiger Camp, and follow me to Neihuang County to meet Cao Cao's food team. With the [-] shi of grain Cao Cao sent, Jizhou will surely win. Yuan Shao and Guan Hai will definitely lose. .”

Guo Jia, Du Ji, Tian Feng and others also had smiles on their faces, and they were relieved.

Wang Lei left everyone behind and immediately left with Dian Wei.

Soon, the cavalry of Feihuying left Ye County and went straight to Huang County in the neighboring county.Wang Lei led the Flying Tiger Battalion in a hurry, and within two days, the cavalry entered Neihuang County. Wang Lei sent sentries to inquire a little bit, and easily found Chen Gong and his party who were escorting the grain and grass, and then went straight away.

On the wide official road, one carriage slowly moved forward.Each carriage is loaded with big sacks, which are full of grain.This pair of people was exactly Chen Gong and his party who escorted grain from Dongjun to Neihuang County.Chen Gong was wearing a long black robe, covered with a fur robe, and wrapped himself up like a rice dumpling.

The cold wind howled, Chen Gong rubbed his hands and sighed softly in his heart.

This trip to Ye County was really painful, it was very cold, and he couldn't rest, especially since it was almost mid-December, and it was approaching the end of the year. At this time, Chen Gong was reluctant to come out.A soldier ran up to Chen Gong and reported: "My lord, the cavalry of the Jizhou Army has been spotted ahead, and they are coming towards us."

A smile emerged from Chen Gong's lazy smile, and he said, "Stop, get ready to welcome!"

The line stopped, and Chen Gong came to the front of the line, waiting eagerly.

After about a stick of incense, there was a rumbling sound from the ground.On the horizon, a cavalry appeared.The iron hoof trampled on it, and the ice slag flew up. The moment Chen Gong saw this cavalry, his pupils shrank.

This cavalry is magnificent, and the soldiers are high-spirited, not simple.

Jizhou has such cavalry, and their strength is not weak!

After a while, the cavalry from Feihu Battalion had rushed over.Wang Lei reined in the reins, got off the horse, and with a smile on his face, he came to the front of the food team and said with a smile, "I am Wang Lei. Who is the official responsible for escorting the food?"

Chen Gong was surprised, he didn't expect Wang Lei to come in person.

But after thinking about it, it is relieved that this batch of grain is related to the fate of Jizhou, and Wang Lei must pay close attention to it.

Chen Gong cupped his hands and said, "I'm in Chen Gong, and I met Wang Zhoumu."

Wang Lei was very surprised, he did not expect to meet Chen Gong, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency is Chen Gongtai?"

Chen Gong said: "Does Wang Zhoumu also know about Chen Gong?"

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Mr. Chen is a celebrity in Yanzhou, Lei knows a thing or two."

Chen Gong was a little flustered, even Wang Lei, a well-known person, knew him, it seemed that his reputation was pretty good.Chen Gong became even more vigilant in his heart. Since Wang Lei knew about him, his gaze must also be on Yanzhou.Cao Cao paid attention to the situation in Jizhou, so why didn't Wang Lei always pay attention to the changes in Yanzhou?

Changing the subject, Chen Gong said: "Wangzhou Mu, the lord asked me to send a total of [-] shi of grain. This batch of grain is temporarily lent to Wang Zhoumu to tide over the difficulties. When the grain is harvested next year, Wang Zhoumu has to return it to the lord."

Wang Lei said: "It's natural, Brother Gongtai, please!"

"Please!" Chen Gong waved his hand and ordered the food escort team to move on.

The group continued on their way, and after leaving Neihuang County, they entered Ye County.The army returned to the county seat of Ye County, and the grain was put into storage. Wang Lei hosted a banquet in honor of Chen Gong at the State Shepherd's Mansion, and then began to prepare to meet Yuan Shao and Guan Hai.
