Chapter 309 The Cunning Fox and the Good Hunter

Chapter 309 The Cunning Fox and the Good Hunter

From Xudu to the north about two hundred miles, you can reach the Yellow River.

To the northwest, you can reach Luoyang, and the distance between the two is only more than three hundred miles.

From the very beginning, Mengchen concentrated his food and grass in the direction of Luoyang.

As for the actions in Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou, they were nothing more than to disturb Cao Cao's vision.

After all, at present, Jizhou is a state with a large output, and no one would have thought that Meng Chen would act like this!

One night later, Cao Cao's chief counselor, Guo Jia, appeared outside a grain and grass camp somewhere in the Xiliang Army with Xiahou Dun.

"Military Master, Meng Chen is too cunning. He is already in the third fake grain camp. When will we find the real grain and grass camp." Xia Houyuan complained.

On the way north, the [-] elite cavalry of them hid in the east, and successively inspected three grain camps of the Xiliang Army, but Guo Jia judged all of them to be fake.

In such a situation, how can generals like Xia Houyuan not complain?
Isn't it just a grain camp?Is it worth spending so much effort to arrange it?
"General Xiahou, this matter is about the life and death of Xu Du. Don't forget that the lord is still guarding Xu Du to buy time for us." Guo Jia reprimanded him bluntly.

Even if Xiahou Dun was displeased after hearing the words, he didn't dare to express it.

Guo Jia's prestige in Cao's army was not something that Xia Houyuan dared to challenge.

"Some kind of feeling, I missed the point!" Guo Jia said to himself naturally.

In the previous two grain and grass camps, although the vehicles and horses came and went frequently, the ruts were different in depth. If it was to escort grain and grass, it would definitely not be the case.

"Order, order the scouts to continue searching north." After thinking for a while, Guo Jia issued the general order again.

As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three dens, but in Guo Jia's view, Meng Chen is not a cunning rabbit, but a real old fox.

Even the grain and grass camp can play so many tricks, which shows how cautious it is.

However, Guo Jia knew that Meng Chen just didn't want to follow Yuan Shao's old path, so he was just extra careful about food and grass.

The more he couldn't find the food and grass camp, the more uneasy Guo Jia felt. He didn't know how the battle in Xudu was going, but he didn't need to think about it, the battle would definitely be difficult.

Leaving aside the deployment of troops on both sides, the siege equipment of the Xiliang Army, which he knew before departure, made Guo Jia rush to the front for a while.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Guo Jia led [-] cavalrymen and continued northward cautiously, and finally made a new discovery by the Ying River!
"Report! Report to the military division, we found a Xiliang army camp by the side of the Ying River, and the river is full of boats."

"Ying River? Boats?" Guo Jia suddenly understood something, no wonder he always felt something was wrong along the way.

After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Guo Jiafan suddenly realized: "So that's the case! The truth is also false and the false is also true. It really is a cunning fox."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Houyuan who was on the side opened his mouth several times, but he never spoke.

It wasn't that he didn't want to ask, but that the information he got now confused Xiahou Dun.

Turning his head, Guo Jia showed Xia Houyuan a charming smile. This expression immediately made Xia Houyuan feel at ease.

In the past, whenever Guo Jia showed this kind of smile, he had already plotted some people to death, which was a kind of confident expression.

"The Xiliang army relied on ships to send food continuously from Luoyang. Our judgments were all wrong before." After a while, Guo Jia laughed at himself again.

"Luoyang? But Jizhou is a major grain-producing state?" Xia Houyuan exclaimed.

"It is precisely this that interferes with our judgment!" Guo Jia said with a straight face.

It is true that Jizhou is a major grain-producing state, but Mengcheng did not transport Jizhou's grain and grass.

Therefore, Cao Jun's scouts looked in the wrong direction from the beginning, and this was the fundamental reason why they were unable to find the place where the Xiliang Army was stashing food.

"What does the military division mean, that we have found the real food and grass camp of the Xiliang Army this time?" Xia Houyuan asked.

"Not only this time, but also the previous ones, but this one is the most important." Guo Jia once again showed a bewildered smile, making Xia Houyuan scratch his head subconsciously.

Are the three food and grass camps real?If you knew this earlier, why did you go to such great lengths?Breaking through two casually would relieve Xu Du's pressure a lot.

"Military division, attack, don't come when the opportunity is too late." Xia Houyuan was impatient.

Guo Jia smiled and did not answer, but quietly led the army towards the grain and grass camp by the Ying River.

At midnight, Guo Jia and Xia Houyuan, led by scouts, led eight thousand elite cavalry to the edge of the Ying River.

Looking at the big camp in front of him, Guo Jia smiled involuntarily.

Even though Meng Chen was cunning, he found the weak electricity by himself. As long as he captures this big camp and burns the food and grass in the transfer camp, there is a chance to turn the tide of this battle.

"Military division?" Xia Houyuan spoke here, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Guo Jia shook his head and signaled Xia Houyuan to wait patiently. According to Meng Chen's cautious attitude, it is absolutely impossible for such an important camp to have no backup.

This time, wait until the ugly time!
Just when Xia Houyuan was about to lose his composure, the sound of soldiers and horses mobilizing suddenly came from the vicinity of the grain and grass camp.

"This..." Xia Houyuan opened his mouth and said a word, his eyes fixed on the direction from which the voice came.

Not long after, thousands of elites came out of the darkness and slowly entered the camp. Looking at the appearance of Xiliang soldiers, they were all sleepy.

"Wait another half an hour!" Guo Jia raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then said something.

When Yin Shi was approaching, Guo Jia opened his eyes with closed eyes.

Taking advantage of the faint firelight of the Xiliang army camp, Guo Jia took a closer look, and then let out a cold snort.

"General Xiahou, it's time to attack!" Guo Jia said coldly.

No matter how cunning Meng Chen is, he can't escape this good hunter!
The whole army was ready for war, and it took only a few dozen breaths to complete, and the [-] elite Cao cavalry were ready to go.

The soldiers all knew in their hearts that as long as the camp in front of them was broken through in this battle, the form of this battle would be reversed.

Following Guo Jia's nod, Xia Houyuan walked forward with his personal guards.

Staring fixedly at the Xiliang soldiers who were sleeping soundly at the gate of the camp, Xia Houyuan's face gradually showed a hint of ferocity.

"Fire the arrow!" With Xia Houyuan's loud shout, the tranquility of the night was broken.

After a vibration of the bowstring, several Xiliang soldiers fell into a pool of blood!
"Soldiers, enter the camp to burn food and grass!" Xia Houyuan shouted again, instantly igniting the fighting enthusiasm of the entire Cao army.

"kill!"

Eight thousand elite cavalrymen of the Cao army rushed into the Xiliang army camp shouting like this. Even Guo Jia couldn't wait to follow in, but the moment he entered the camp, he suddenly felt a warning sign.
