Chapter 040 Transporting Grain

 Cao Pi took Geng Liang and others back to Cao's Mansion. Xun Yu felt relieved when he saw the Qingzhou soldiers outside the door. Geng Liang found Wang Kai's head and put it in a box. He was ruthless to this young man.

The young master admired him very much. After learning the news that Cao Pi personally killed Wang Kai, Xun Yu was filled with admiration. It is true that a tiger father has no dog son.

Cao Song and Cao De were also taken to the Cao Mansion by Xun Yu at this moment. The Cao Mansion was heavily guarded and had become a temporary official office during the Juancheng War.

In the front hall, Cao Song sat at the main table, and the others sat on both sides. Xun Yu stood beside Cao Song, deploying all resources to resist the rebels. Cao Song admired Xun Yu very much, and he was also reassured by Cao Cao's vision for employing people.

.

"Xun Sima, the rebels are moving in the direction of Bian Rang's old house." A soldier reported the information detected by the scouts. Xun Yu looked embarrassed after hearing the news, and Xun Yu's expression did not escape Cao Pi's eyes.

"Sir, what important materials are stored in Bian Rang's old house?" Cao Pi asked.

"A lot of important materials are stored there. I had arranged all the food and grass for the southern camp there. It was an empty house there. I don't know why Chen Gongtai sent troops there." Xun Yu answered truthfully.

"Then let's quickly send troops to transport the grain and grass back. This batch of grain and grass is used to save lives." Zao Zhi said anxiously after hearing Xun Yu's answer.

"Don't be impatient. If we launch a large-scale attack, Chen Gongtai will be suspicious. We can only think of ways to outwit him."

This batch of grain and grass will never be discovered."

"You really can't be anxious. Chen Gong can't underestimate it. It's better for us to act cautiously." Cheng Yu also echoed from the side.

Cao Pi looked at Cheng Yu and suddenly remembered the story of "Zhongde brand dried meat", and couldn't help but tremble all over.

"I would like to recommend my sword master Shi A to help us retrieve these grains and grass." Cao Pi stood up and said seriously.

Shi A, who was taking a nap against a pillar outside the door, almost fell down when he heard Cao Pi's words. How could I, a ranger who has never fought in a war, get back so much food and grass? Once a teacher, he is always a father. Is this how you kid deceived me?

"Master Zihuan, this matter is not a joke." Xun Yu said seriously. Xun Yu knew about Shi A's deeds. Shi A was just a swordsman with high martial arts skills, but he had no experience in commanding combat. Such an important military operation was just a matter of time.

Relying on individual bravery is definitely not enough.

"I want Mr. Shi A to assassinate Chen Gong, so that we can snatch the food and grass back while they are panicking." Cao Pi scratched his head and said, "I originally wanted to set a fire, but it was raining outside.

It’s too big.”

Xun Yu looked at Zao Zhi and Cheng Yu. After discussing for a while, they decided that Cao Pi's method might be worth a try. However, Shi A outside the door was in bad luck. He had never done such a job of assassinating an enemy chief.

What's more, Chen Gong's residence must be heavily guarded, and it will be difficult for him to come back.

"Sir, are you willing to go?"

"I would like to go." Shi A smiled bitterly at this moment. He was being roasted on the fire by Xun Yu and Cao Pi. Everyone agreed on the details and waited for the arrival of night.

The situation in Juancheng was severe. Many sons of the gentry held mid-level positions in the army. Chen Gong's rebellion led some of them to lead troops to rebel. Since a large number of soldiers had nowhere to settle, the old house in Bianrang became the best place for Chen Gong to place soldiers.

Good choice.

Chen Gong was very helpless. His plan to quickly capture Juancheng had been ruined. Now he could only consume Cao's army in the city as much as possible and wait for Lu Bu's arrival.

Chen Gong did not want to leave Juancheng, because he could effectively contain Xun Yu in the city, but he was unable to defeat Xun Yu because a large part of the people in the city were just outsiders, and the number of troops at both sides' disposal was also very limited.

"Have you still not found that batch of grain and grass?" Chen Gong asked Xu Bin beside him.

"Not yet, and there is no news from Wang Kai." Xu Bang replied hesitantly.

A whole day of killing made Xu Bang a little tired. Although he didn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, how could he, a noble son who had never killed anyone, see so much blood? Moreover, the disappearance of his best friend Wang Kai also made him a little uneasy and regretful.

.

"Keep looking, we must find that batch of food and grass." Chen Gong said firmly. Without this batch of food and grass, Chen Gong would have no choice but to abandon Juancheng and join Lu Bu.

The rain had slowed down a bit and it was already dark. Shi A wore a night suit and sneaked quietly outside Chen Gong's mansion. He had already bypassed several groups of patrolling soldiers. Chen Gong's layout was very strict, but it could not hinder his strong agility.

Shia.

"This is the first time I've been in a dog hole in my life." Shi A recalled what Cao Pi said to him before leaving, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

Shi A lowered his body and slowly reached out of the dog hole. No one was around. He quickly got into the courtyard wall, walked quickly to the back of a rockery and hid.

The sound of uniform footsteps gets closer and closer, then gets further and further away.

Shi A observed the surrounding environment, quickly entered a dark room and groped around. Shi A held his breath, and he heard a burst of slow footsteps. After a while, the door opened.

"I don't want to let anyone live a single day, what's the matter!" The voice of the speaker was rough, with a local accent in Yanzhou. Combined with the layout of the room, Shi A felt that this person should be a servant of the Chen Gong family.<

/p>

The man groped for a long time, then took out a flint from his arms and struck it. Sparks splashed, the oil lamp was lit, and the room was filled with light.

"You...who are you?" The servant was startled when he saw Shi'a suddenly appearing in front of him, and he stuttered when he spoke.

Shi A hit the servant on the neck with a knife. The servant's vision went dark and he fainted. Shi A supported the unconscious servant, fearing that he would make some noise.

"I'm sorry, father-in-law."

Shi A put the servant on the couch, and he found a coarse linen brown coat and a pair of trousers from the servant's room. The two were close in height, and Shi A only felt a little tight after changing the clothes.

No one would notice such details at night, Shi Ah thought.

After Shi A disguised himself, he lay in front of the door and listened to the noise outside. After waiting for half an hour, the servants all went to rest. Shi A slowly walked out of the house and walked towards the main hall.

The sergeant on guard didn't think much when he saw Shi Ajiading's dress. Shi A came to the main hall easily.

There was no one around, so Shi A quickly ran to the window sill on one side of the main hall and hid under it. Chen Gong was very busy with the problem of food and grass. Juancheng could no longer find anyone after being robbed by Chen Gong.

A lot of food.

"If I had food and grass, Juancheng would have been mine long ago. What can Xun Yu do to me?" came Chen Gong's proud voice.

Shi A took out a flying knife from his arms and wiped the sweat from his forehead. If he rushed in with the sword, he would not be able to escape even if he killed Chen Gong. So under Cheng Yu's suggestion, Shi A

Take a look at this relatively low-risk method of assassination.

The first time Shi A threw a throwing knife, he hesitated to do it because he was nervous. Just when Shi A was about to do it, Xu Si suddenly walked in.

"Wang Kai was killed!" Xu Bang said in frustration.

"Killed? Who killed him?" Chen Gong was confused and shocked. At noon, Chen Gong couldn't contact Wang Kai. He thought that Wang Kai was leading people to clear grass in Juancheng, or that he had robbed a pawn.

The beautiful woman is busy doing things.

"It's Cao...Cao Pi, Cao Cao's son." Xu Bin stuttered.

"That boy was only eight years old. With so many retainers around Wang Kai, how could he be killed by an eight-year-old child?" Chen Gong obviously didn't believe Xu Bang's words, "Did Xiahou Dun and Cao Chun come back?



"It's true. Cao Pi really killed him. Wang Kai's retainer told me after he escaped just now. I know that retainer, and I introduced him to him before." Xu Si explained anxiously.

"The thief Cao gave birth to a good son!" Chen Gong snorted coldly. His hatred for Cao Pi, the inventor of military strategy, was no worse than that of Cao Cao. "Find a way to capture this little thief alive and hold him in your hand."

Here, the Cao thieves will throw themselves into danger."

"What the public broadcaster said is absolutely true. I will find a few people to secretly kidnap this kid." Xu Bang smiled obscenely, his expression becoming distorted.

"Find a few skilled people to handle this matter. Xun Yu will definitely send people to protect the bastards of Cao thieves." Chen Gong picked up the bamboo slips again and said with a worried look, "Let those who are looking for food and grass

People should also hold on tighter."

"Don't worry, Gongtai, I..." Before Xu Bang could finish speaking, a loud noise was made from the window on the side of the main hall. Xu Bang turned around and saw that a flying knife was shooting towards him.

Xu Bang was stabbed in the chest by a flying knife, and blood flowed out. Chen Gong quickly called for the guards to arrest the assassin.

"Damn, it was thrown crookedly." Shi A saw Xu Bang lying on the ground. He thought that this kid was the same anyway, so he quickly left the hall and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye...

"Wen Ruo, a large number of soldiers gathered outside Chen Gong's mansion, Shi A must have succeeded." Cheng Yu said excitedly.

"Hurry, get the food and grass back now." Xun Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately sent someone to notify Zao Zhi and Cao Pi who were outside Bian Rang's house.

"Kill!"

Cao Pi's immature shout attracted countless responses. More than a hundred Qingzhou soldiers, led by Geng Liang, rushed into Bianrang Mansion. The soldiers standing guard at the door had long been secretly eliminated by them.

Before the sleeping rebels could pick up their weapons, they were beheaded by the weapons of the Qingzhou soldiers. Cao Pi and Zao Zhi led more than a hundred people straight to the backyard to find the place where Xun Yu said the food was hidden.

"Why is there such a big darkroom in Bian Rang's house?" Cao Pi asked people to search carefully in the backyard, and finally found the place where Xun Yu said the food was hidden.

"Stop being so curious now, let's transport the grain and grass out the back door." Zao Zhi was overjoyed when he saw that the grain and grass were safe and sound, and quickly called on the people on his left and right to transport the grain to the back door.

"Move quickly!"

"Quick! What are you thinking about?"

"Don't crowd! Don't crowd!"
