Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 219

The carriage left the city and headed towards Luocheng's camp. Yuan Tan, who was used to riding horses, disliked the bumpy carriage. He couldn't help but lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to realize that he was going in the direction of the enemy camp. .

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Yuan Tan shouted in shock.

The cavalry escorting them ignored Yuan Tan's shouts and continued to advance. Their task was to send these people to the general Luo Cheng.

Hearing Yuan Tan's shout, he poked his head out hastily to have a look, but he didn't know if he didn't see it. When he saw it, he was startled, and found himself in the enemy's camp.

Then what I and others saw on the top of the city were all illusions, everyone was deceived by Gao Lan, no wonder everyone was not allowed to leave the city.

A group of soldiers and horses galloped from the camp, and they arrived in front of the convoy in a blink of an eye. The leader was Luo Cheng, the leader of the East Route Army who attacked Qingzhou.

Even though they wanted to resist, they were unarmed and surrounded by enemy troops. Unwilling, they had to surrender.

Luo Cheng ordered Zang Bahou Cheng to escort Yuan Tan back to Xuchang City, and at the same time sent people to Guandu to inform Li Song that Qingzhou had fully returned to the embrace of the imperial court.

In the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's attacks were defeated several times. Yuan Shao's army retreated to set up camp ten miles away from Li Song's camp.

In the blink of an eye, a month was about to pass, and Li Song was in a hurry. If he failed to complete the task of burning Wuchao, the punishment for failure would be enough for him to drink a pot.

Especially the loss of life by 20 years, which is the last thing he wants to see.

Could it be that Yuan Shao didn't use Wuchao as a place for the army to store food, or the time was delayed, Li Song came to two conclusions, no matter which situation it is, it will lead to the failure of the mission.

"Shadow!" Li Song shouted into the air.

"My lord, what are your orders?" A voice came, but no one appeared, only the voice was heard but no one was seen.

"Wuchao, has there been any movement during this time?" Li Song asked.

"My lord! Everything in Wuchao is normal, there is nothing abnormal, and there is no trace of the enemy army." Shadow said.

This is strange, Yuan Shaojun now consumes food and grass every day, it is impossible for them to go out with a large amount of food and grass at one time, the longer the army is stationed, they must transport food and grass many times.

That is to say, it is possible that Yuan Shao put the grain and grass in other places, or stored it in a scattered manner, but he did not use Wuchao as a place to store grain and grass. This is also possible.

If this is the case, how about I help Yuan Shao and force him to hoard food and grass to Wuchao, so that he can burn Wuchao and complete the task!

"Be sure to figure out Yuan Shao's grain storage area and the route for transporting grain and grass." Li Song made up his mind, he didn't believe that Yuan Shao would hoard grain and grass to Wuchao.

"No!" Shadow responded, and left without a sound, really coming and going without a trace. After confirming that Shadow had left, Li Song stretched himself and fell asleep on the desk.

The shadow is not bad for the secret guards who gather intelligence, assassination and other activities, and soon found out Yuan Shao's three grain storage places and the route for transporting grain and grass, and handed them over to Li Song.

Guandu Li Song's army camp, in the camp of the Chinese army, Li Song called the civil and military staff to discuss matters.

"Recently, I got information that Yuan Shao scattered the grain and grass in three places. Even if one of the grain storage areas is destroyed, Yuan Shaojun need not be afraid. As long as the other two places are intact, the morale of Yuan Shaojun's army will not be shaken. "Li Song said.

"The prime minister intends to destroy these three food and grass places to win this battle." Xu Maogong asked.

"That's right! That's what I thought, to destroy Yuan Shao's food and grass, and cause Yuan Shao's army to be in a state of confusion. If our army takes the opportunity to launch an attack, this battle will surely win." Li Song said.

"Prime Minister! Even if our army destroys Yuan Shao's three forages, he can still transport them from the rear. I'm afraid it will be difficult to have much influence on him. At that time, if he concentrates the forages in one place and garrisons them heavily, our army's It may not be possible to get benefits." Xiao Mahe said.

That's good!It's better to force him to store all the food and grass in Wuchao. I will burn him down, not only complete the task, but also defeat Yuan Shao, kill two birds with one stone, why not do it!
"I not only got information about Yuan Shao's grain storage, but also the route and time of his transportation of grain and grass. As long as we cut off his grain road, we will destroy these three grain and grass places."

"Even if we can't destroy all his grain and grass, it doesn't matter. After my careful inspection, even if Yuan Shao wants to find a new place to store grain, the only place that is 40 miles away from his camp is the most suitable place."

"At that time, we only need to send a troop to burn it down. Yuan Shao's army will surely be in disarray. At that time, we will take the opportunity to send troops again, and the whole effort will be completed in one battle." Li Song said.

After listening to it, everyone is eager to try it!
"Prime Minister! The final general is willing to go to destroy the land where the enemy's grain is stored." Xiao Mahe came out and clasped his fists in a salute, petitioning.

"Prime Minister! The last general is also willing to go." Li Cunxiao, Zhou Qing, Xue Xiantu and others also came out to petition.

"And me, and me, I'll go too!" Even Li Yuanba came to join in the fun.

"Okay! I have my own arrangements for this matter!" Li Song looked at the crowd and said, turning his attention to Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu, "Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu obey!"

The two looked at each other, overjoyed!Hastily stood up and cupped his fists in a salute, "The end is here!"

"Order you two to go to Yuan Shaojun's grain field on the left side of Yuan Shaojun's camp, and destroy its grain and grass." Li Song ordered.

"Promise!" The two of them clasped their fists in salute and returned to their seats. Li Song continued to read: "Xiao Mahe, Guan Sheng obey!"

The two rushed out, and Li Song ordered: "Order you two to go to the grain field of Yuan Shaojun on the right side of Yuan Shaojun's camp and destroy it."

"Promise!" Xiao Mahe and Guan Sheng responded, and Li Song then ordered his generals, "Li Cunxiao, Li Qingxian, and Li Qinghong obey orders!"

The three rushed out, and Li Song gave an order: "Li Qingxian and Li Qinghong went to the northeast of Yuan Shao's camp, 30 miles away from Yuan Shao's camp. Yuan Shao had a secret grain storage area and destroyed it."

"No!" Li Qingxian and his brothers clasped their fists in salute and retreated to their seats.

Li Song turned to Li Cunxiao who was standing in the middle and said: "Cunxiao, I order you to lead the Flying Tiger Army to cut off the grain road of Yuan Shaojun. This is the route and time for Yuan Shaojun to transport grain and grass."

After Li Song finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from the battle armor and handed it to Li Cunxiao, which recorded the route and time of Yuan Shaojun's grain transportation.

Li Cunxiao stepped forward to take it, put it close to his body, took a step back, and saluted with fists in his arms, "No!"

"Now, go back and prepare immediately, and set off immediately. If you need anything, let Rengui handle it for you. Let's leave!" Li Song said.

"No!" The civil and military staff stood up and saluted, then turned around and walked out of the Chinese army's tent.
