Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: I help Lao Cao fight the country

Chapter 449

After seeing off the man in black, Sima Yi was still restless.

Subconsciously told him that something bad would happen.

Due to today's defeat and the delay in the arrival of food and grass, Sima Yi still can't calm down.

After waiting all night, in the early morning of the next day, the man in black entered his room like a gust of wind.

"Sir, the grain truck was robbed. I saw the burned grain truck near Xiaogu Mountain, and there were many corpses of soldiers!"

Sima Yi, who already had dark circles under his eyes, stood up suddenly:

"What! Robbed! Do you know who did it?"

"It's not clear yet. Looking at the wounds on those corpses, they should be injured by crossbow arrows!"

"Crossbow arrows! Most of my Yizhou soldiers are equipped with bows and arrows. It is impossible for bandits to have such lethal weapons. Could it be that Cao Jun did it?"

"Although it is still difficult to determine whether Cao Jun did it, according to what my subordinates see, since the grain truck was burned instead of being moved, it is very likely that Cao Jun did it!"

"Impossible! Zitong's defenses are impenetrable. Even a fly flies by and we can get news. Besides, it takes at least hundreds of people to rob food and grass escorted by 2000 people. How did they pass under our noses?" ?”

With his hands behind his back, Sima Yi paced back and forth in the bedroom, still unable to figure out how to make hundreds of people pass under their noses without anyone noticing!

After a while, Sima Yi said:

"Ma Shan sent people to carry out a blanket search in the vicinity and the place where the incident happened. I want to see where they are hiding!"

"Yes! The subordinates have already sent people to search, as long as there is news, we will definitely get the report as soon as possible!"

"The number of people is not enough. You should inform General Zhang Ning and ask him to lead 5000 troops to search together. We have 40 soldiers here. Food and grass are our lifeblood. There must be no mistakes!"

"Here, this subordinate will do it now!"

"Wait a minute!" Sima Yi called to stop the man in black who wanted to leave.

"What else do you want sir!"

"I will write a letter to the lord, and you will send someone to deliver it immediately!"

at the same time.

Liu Bei in Chengdu also got the news that the grain and grass had been robbed.

He was so angry at that time: "What! How did Sima Yi do things! Cao Ang's army has passed Zitong and he didn't even know it!"

Even though spring has just started and the weather is still a bit cool, Fazheng, still holding a feather fan, clasped his hands and said:

"Ming Gong, Zhong Da is no wonder for this matter. His subordinates have been in Zitong for many days, and they don't know that there are other ways to cross Zitong, unless..."

Fazheng suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed!

Liu Bei asked eagerly: "Unless there is something, Xiao Zhi might as well say it!"

"Unless Cao Jun can pass the nearby cliff, but the terrain there has been explored more than once, not to mention people, even goats can hardly gain a foothold there. How did Cao Jun pass there?"

"Since Xiaozhi said that there is no place to stand there, there is another possibility!" Zhang Song said.

"Oh! Tell me, what else is possible?"

Liu Bei, Fazheng, and several people present all set their eyes on Zhang Song at the same time.

Zhang Song said: "Is there another possibility, that is, Cao Ang has placed his subordinates in our Yida in advance!"

Liu Bei said: "Impossible! It is impossible for him to place so many people under our noses. Our 2000-man grain transport army has been defeated. It is impossible to do it with fewer people!"

Fazheng also shook his head and said, "Well, I don't agree with this idea either. Although Cao Ang used to like to deploy detailed operations before attacking a place, but with so many soldiers and horses, there will be no trace left."

Zhao Wei, who likes to be silent, suddenly said:

"I agree that they will come from the cliff!"

At this time, Liu Bei was already in a hurry to go to the doctor. Hearing what Zhao Wei said, he immediately asked:

"Zhong Lang will explain clearly!"

"I also stayed in Zitong. Although the cliffs there are steep and difficult, ordinary people can't go up at all, but please pay attention, this is only for ordinary people. I remember that I met a few herb collectors at that time. It is a precious herbal medicine, and it has taken risks to go up. Since they can all go up, what if they are people who have been specially trained by Cao Jun? I think they can also turn over!"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said:

"It's really possible. Cao Ang likes to use surprise soldiers to win. There is almost nothing impossible with him. However, how they got here is not important now. The important thing is that we must find them and put them back together." It is eliminated, otherwise our food and grass will definitely be lost!"

Fazheng added: "That's true. Now there are 40 soldiers in Zitong, and the number of people eating horses and feeding them every day is not a small number. Once the food and grass are cut off, our people can say that, those barbarians who are not sure will throw down the pick."

Zhang Song frowned and said: "But this road is full of mountains, forests and ravines. If a few hundred people in the district hide deliberately, we will never find them! Could it be that if we can't find them, we will stop transporting food to the front line!"

Zhao Wei put his hands on his knees:

"This is easy to solve. We can send more people. In addition, we can also ask Sima Yi to send troops in Zitong. As long as we have enough people, I don't believe that a few hundred people will dare to come out to cause trouble!"

Liu Bei nodded: "For the present plan, this can only be done temporarily. Zhonglang will lead you to lead the army to find these people. Xiaozhi, you will immediately arrange the second wave of food transportation."

"Yes!"

"As ordered!"

Soon, the second batch of grain and grass trucks sent to Zitong was on the road. This time Liu Bei sent 5000 people to escort the transportation, and sent generals Li Qiu and Wu Lan to jointly take charge.

In addition, they also sent scouts to write to Sima Yi, asking him to send someone to respond, just to ensure that nothing goes wrong this time!

however!

Not far from the Xiaogu Mountain that was robbed last time, there is a dangerous place called Yixiantian.

The reason why it is called a dangerous place is because it is a very narrow canyon.

There are steep cliffs on both sides, and a small road in the middle is the only way from Chengdu to Zitong.

It wasn't just a day that Li Qiu and Wu Lan came here with the grain and grass cart carefully all the way.

Before entering the canyon, Wu Lan said: "General Li, there is a ray of sky ahead, and the location is dangerous. If there are ambushes on both sides, we are likely to suffer!"

Li Qiu glanced at the canyon entrance not far ahead.

"It is indeed a dangerous place, so let's send a team of scouts first, and we will pass through after confirming that there is no danger!"

"That's exactly what I mean! Li Gouzi, you take 100 people to explore the road, remember to watch carefully, if you make a mistake, I will peel your skin!"

Chapter 450 Brothers Eyes Are Bright

The young scout called Li Gouzi clasped his fists together:

"Just look at it, general, and promise to complete the task!"

After saying that, Li Gouzi led more than a hundred people under him, and without the slightest hesitation, he galloped into the first-line sky!

Li Qiu looked at the hundreds of people who had gone away and said, "Can you trust me?"

There was a little bit of pride in Wu Lan's words:

"General Li, don't worry! This kid is very clever. He joined the army at the age of 15, and his nose was still dripping when he came here. Look, it's only been two years, and he has been promoted from the sixth rank to the school lieutenant by virtue of his military achievements!"

"Oh! A 17-year-old captain? He's still in charge of the scout battalion! Does this kid have some skills?"

After hearing this, Li Qiu also praised.

Then he asked again: "Could it be your son?"

"The general was joking. If I had such a son, I would probably wake up laughing!"

"Haha! Really, you value him so much!"

"That's right, this kid has a spirit in his bones, as long as he doesn't die, he will be the commander of an army sooner or later!"

"Hey! Old Wu, you are a bit exaggerated!"

"At that time, you had little contact with him, and you will know later!"

"Really, why don't you stay for a few days?"

Wu Lan waved her hands one after another: "I want to give you all my concubines, but Li Gouzi, even though his surname is Li and you are from the same family, but we won't give it to you either!"

"..."

Valley!

Li Gouzi took the lead and walked at the front of the team.

He let the horse move forward slowly, but his eyes kept sweeping back and forth on the cliffs at both ends.

"Come on, let me be more energetic, put the bright spots in the tricks, look carefully behind every stone and every weed, and report immediately if there is any trouble."

The hundred or so riders behind him shouted in unison, "Understood! Lord Dog!"

Lord dog!

This is their nickname for Li Gouzi.

He is used to making troubles on weekdays, and he didn't bother with his subordinates:

"This is not a place for joking. When this mission arrives safely, I invite you to go to the best kiln in Chengdu."

"That's a good thing, Captain Captain, you've spent a lot of money!"

Hearing Li Gouzi's treat, even the title changed from Lord Dog to Captain Captain!

Li Gouzi cursed secretly: These bastards are all human!

They slowly entered the depths of the canyon.

After a very meticulous investigation all the way, they finally reached the exit safely!

Li Gouzi breathed a sigh of relief:

"Made, this place is too dangerous. If there are enemies ambushing here, we can't escape alone!"

"Lieutenant, what you said is wrong. I think you and the two generals are just doing too much. We have 5000 people, and there are soldiers and horses from Zitong not far away to meet us. How dare Cao Jun dare to rob us! They Is it enough to live?"

"You can't say that. The number of soldiers is not more than the quality. Cao Jun has always won more with less. There is no big mistake in being careful. Qin Er, you take a few brothers back and tell the general that this place is safe and can pass. The rest is up to me. Stay here!"

Qin Er responded, greeted a few people, and beat Ma Rufei back to the way he came from.

Another small flat slope along the way.

Qin Er came to the entrance of Yixiantian.

At this time, the two generals Li Qiu and Wu Lan were ordering their subordinates to rest.

Seeing Qin Er leading the people back, Wu Lan asked:

"Where's Li Gouzi? Why didn't he come back!"

Qin Er got off his horse and cupped his fists and said, "To the two generals, our captain is guarding the other side of the canyon to avoid unnecessary trouble, and asked me to inform the two generals that the canyon is fine and absolutely safe!"

Wu Lan said: "Your eyes are not blind, are you? This is related to the lives of five thousand brothers, and there are so many food and grass, do you know the consequences of lying about military information!"

Qin Er patted his chest and assured: "General, don't worry, our brother's eyes are bright!"

"Well, good, let's go, brothers, we will be safe as long as we pass the first line of sky!"

After saying that, everyone got up and drove the carriages full of grain and grass into Yixiantian one after another.

Li Qiu walked at the front of the team, looking at the cliffs on both sides, he felt heart palpitations for no reason:

"If the enemy ambushes again, don't say we have 5000 people, even if we have [-], we will explain it here!"

Wu Lan also felt the same way: "No! Every time I go to this damn place, I feel the cold wind blowing from my back!"

"Blessed by the gods all over the sky, I hope we can get through it safely!"

"Haha! General Li, since you've believed in this since then, just put your heart in your stomach. It's absolutely fine if all the scouts pass by!"

While speaking, the team has all entered the first line of sky, and the team in front has already traveled more than half of the distance, and the exit can already be seen a few hundred meters ahead.

However, just when Li Qiu was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

A loud rumbling noise broke the tranquility in the canyon.

Li Qiu yelled "No!"

Immediately afterwards, dozens of boulders rolled down from the cliff in front.

Fortunately, the distance is a bit far, and no casualties were caused, but the road has been blocked, and it is impossible to go there for a while!

Wu Lan was also scared to death by the scene in front of her:

"Damn, what's going on, scouts, how did you find the way!"
