One day, Cao Cao was discussing military affairs with Guo Jia and others. A soldier came to the tent.

"I'd like to report to you, my Lord. In the early morning of four days ago, a large number of Hu cavalry entered the Weiwu territory of Liangzhou, with no less than 450000 people."

"Pa..."

Cao Cao clapped his palm on the sand table, and his face was very excited.

Guo Jia arched his hand and said, "my Lord, the time has come, and the war is of great importance."

"Well, order all the troops to act according to the plan."

Thirty miles to the west of Chenliu City, two grain transportation teams from the northwest gradually merged here.

There are more than ten thousand grain carts in the transport team, each of which is full of about twenty sacks. Each sack contains about one stone of grain. In total, there are more than 200000 stone grain, which are slowly transported to Chenliu under the escort of thousands of soldiers.

The escorts of the two grain transport teams were county officers from the two cities of Shanghuang and Junyi. Originally, most of the county magistrates and county lieutenants in Chenliu county were Cao Cao or his subordinates. Zhang Miao rebelled against Cao Cao and welcomed the army of the imperial court. Naturally, Liu he replaced the officials at all levels at the first time, but there were not so many county magistrates to take office. Therefore, he only selected some low-level military generals to act as county lieutenants to temporarily take over the duties of the county magistrate.

As for the original officials, the guilty and the disobedient, they were naturally killed in their own places, and those who were of fair conduct and willing to surrender were sent to Luoyang. They were prepared to make arrangements after careful interrogation and investigation.

The two county captains met and saluted each other.

One of them looked at the front and said, "I heard that Cao Cao has already declared his surrender to the imperial court. Hey, this guy is not infrequent against his majesty. Why should I admit to surrender? Would it not be easy to cheat him to Luoyang and cut him down with one knife? "

"Not really. At that time, many of our brothers were defeated in the first World War in Luoyang City. Even his majesty said that Cao Cao was a strong enemy. General Gao was surrounded, general Guan was in Jizhou, general Zhang was in Liangzhou, and there were not many troops under the command of Zhu, Cheng and ye. If the war broke out, General Gao would not be able to resist Cao's army. I don't think it's true to surrender

"Hey, that's all. Your majesty and the three military divisions are worried about these important matters. General Gao can tell us that this matter is still confidential at present. It's only for the sake of Stabilizing our minds of transporting grain that we can tell us. It's better to talk less. You and I have been in the army for three or four years. Now I can be promoted to be a county magistrate, and I will be a county magistrate in the future

"Ha ha, that's right. My Wang family has been poor for generations, not to mention the county magistrate. Even the pavilion chief has never been sent out. My Wang tietou can be regarded as smoking from the ancestral grave. "

"Go, you refugees who fled from Jingzhou in those years. I'm afraid that the ancestral grave will be abandoned and gouged by wild dogs. It's all the rain of your majesty What's the rain? Oh, yes, rain and dew

"Ha, you don't know a basket of big characters, but now you can drag words. It's wonderful. No wonder we have so many brothers, but we promoted you to be a county captain. But you're right. I have to kneel and kowtow in the direction of Luoyang every day at home to thank my majesty long en. Even my third son who just learned to walk has to be pressed to kowtow together. I dare not be disrespectful. "

They chatted while they were on the way, looking very relaxed. They felt that Cao Cao had already surrendered, and Cao's troops around Chen Liu city were not afraid of him. The contribution of transporting grain and grass was just like nothing.

At this time, the scout who was in charge of exploring the road suddenly ran back.

"Two generals, not far ahead, a troop of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared. Judging by the armor and flag, they should be a general surnamed Han in the Cao army."

Their faces suddenly changed: "Cao Jun? Why did they rush to wait for the grain convoy? Is it that Cao Cao has turned back on his promise and is going to rob the grain wagon

"Quick, order down, all the troops in line!"

Thousands of soldiers guarding the grain delivery convoy ran to the front one by one, with spears, shields, halberds, and swords, which were extremely killing.

After a while, a team of soldiers appeared in the sight of the public.

The chief general, though dressed in armour, was quite elegant in temperament. He looked at the grain convoy ahead and couldn't help laughing.

"It's said that Gao Shun has the best military training ability in the world. Only one grain protection team can have such a military appearance. It can be seen that the rumors are true. Come forward and greet us, lest they regard us as enemies. "

He drove his horse forward, and was still a hundred paces away, and the two county captains began to drink with one voice.

"Stop, who are you? This is the food and fodder for the army of the imperial court. You will not retreat! "

The general of Cao Army stood in his place and arched his hands from afar.

"Under the account of Cao Gong in Yanzhou, Han Hao, I have met two generals."

They were surprised to see how polite he was.

After a little stupefied, one of them called out: "we are ordered to escort the grain and grass to the city of Chen Liu. Why do you stop here? It's a big crime to intercept the food and forage of the imperial army. "

Han Hao said: "I don't have the heart to intercept. I really want to escort. My Lord said that there have always been bandits and bandits here, and there is still a long way to go before Chenliu city. I'm afraid that we will be trapped by thieves and bandits. Therefore, I have been specially assigned to escort you to the lower part of the city. "When they heard this, they were relieved.

"In this case, thank you for your kindness. Please lead the way ahead."

After listening to their reply, Han Hao said in his heart: "only two county lieutenants have such ingenuity. Let me lead the way in front of me, but not allow me to escort on both sides of the grain team. This is to make them preemptive in case of any change. The Lord is really clever, and everything can not escape the Lord's plan."

He clasped his fist at them and said, "OK, that's one step ahead."

Seeing that he was so obedient, the two county lieutenants were completely relieved. After Han Hao walked out of a distance, they ordered to continue.

After walking and resting for two hours, the grain team finally came to the Cao army camp.

At this time, Cao's army had already lined up on both sides of the camp, giving up a road, which was very solemn.

Han Hao made a "please" sign to the two county lieutenants: "two, you can get under the gate of the city after passing through the camp for half an hour. Han will send you to the gate and leave. "

Two people clasped fists in return: "so, there will be general Lao Han."

Along the way, Han Hao never crossed half a point. Now the soldiers of Cao army are like the guard of honor, which makes the two county officers feel very useful. Unconsciously, the guard against Han Hao and Cao's army is naturally put down.

As they passed through Cao camp, Han Hao turned back and asked, "the two generals are well-informed. I wonder if our army's lineup is still strict and tidy?"

The two men looked around and observed carefully. Then they all thumbed up: "the soldiers are strong and healthy, and they are extraordinary."

"Yes, in the future, I will become a first-class and first-class master after my majesty and other generals have practiced hard."

Han Hao laughs: "thank you very much for your praise. Thank you very much."

As they walked and chatted, they had already passed through Cao's camp.

The garrison on the wall had already found the tracks of the grain carts. When the two men came to the gate, the general of the garrison took the initiative to greet them.

"Is it the grain transport team of Xiaohuang and Xunyi under the city?"

They quickly took out a big token from their arms: "exactly, this is general Gao's military order."

"Well, I'll open the gate and let you come in. However, only the grain convoy can enter the city, and the rest of the idle people, please go back. "

When Han Hao heard the speech, he clasped his fist at the two county lieutenants and said, "you have arrived successfully. It's time to go back and report to the Lord."

"Thank you, General Han. When we meet again in the future, maybe you and I are already officials of the same Dynasty. Then my brother will invite the general to drink."

"Ha ha, good to say, good to say, goodbye."

Han Hao then led the soldiers to retreat. After he had walked out of the road, the gate of the city opened. The two men entered the city first. The grain convoy behind them was vast and powerful, stretching for several miles, and then slowly entered the city.

In the continuous barracks more than ten miles away, on a sentry several feet high, Xia Houyuan was staring at everything in front of the city gate.

A soldier came in a hurry: "report general, the grain convoy has all passed through our camp, and the front of it has begun to enter the city gate. According to the current situation, all grain trucks can enter the city at least in half an hour."

Xia Hou Yuan said with a smile: "wonderful, I've been holding back for a few days, and I'm finally waiting for this day. Go ahead and get ready for action. "
