When he arrived at the grain store, Chen Anshi's cold eyes kept scanning the mess in front of him.
Previously, he was not in the town, but he led an ambush with men and horses, preparing to rob grain and kill people. However, he never thought that the logistics general of Xishu would kill people directly at the grain store.
The money was not paid, and the grain truck was robbed.
The original intention of this time was to make Xishu worse, not only to lose money, but also to damage the morale of Xishu's troops, and to make adequate preparations for the follow-up events.
damn it.
Chen Anshi swung his sword and chopped off the head of a small boss who begged for punishment.
"This is a predator. If I were to catch Chen Sheng of Xishu, I would cut off his other arm too!"
"Take the grain truck with you, don't go too fast, and pursue it quickly."
"Palace Master Chen, the ambush on the official road——"
"The Shu people have already taken a small road, and there is no point in ambush."
Without any pause, Chen Anshi quickly ran towards the path with more than 7,000 men and horses.
…
With the long grain truck, Chen Sheng looked back from time to time to see if any scouts were coming back.
Fortunately, not long after, two or three riders came back in a hurry.
"Have you seen the pursuers?" Chen Sheng asked anxiously. According to Military Advisor Jia, this matter is very important.
The two or three cavalry scouts did not bother to take a few more breaths, and hurriedly clasped their fists in response.
"General Chen, there are indeed pursuers, and they are getting closer and closer to us."
"I know." Chen Sheng nodded, pulled the horse's rein with one arm, and rushed to Yuan Xiu's side.
"Master Yuanxiang, the military advisor said that if we find the pursuit of troops, it means that the ambush on the official road has probably been abandoned."
"General Chen, what's wrong?" Yuan Xiu was a little confused.
"You and I divided our troops into two groups. I took most of the grain carts and turned onto Guan Road, heading towards Laizhou. Master Yuanxiang, on the other hand, took a small part of the grain carts and continued walking on the trail. However, the military advisor had
Order, burn the grain carts near the dense forest."
"Burn, burn? There's so much food."
Chen Sheng nodded regretfully, "Since you can't take them away, you don't have to stay with the enemy. The enemy will not be short of troops. Master Yuanxiang must remember not to fight. After escaping, he will immediately rush to Kezhou to rendezvous."
Afraid that Yuan Xiu's brain would get hot and he would fight to the death with the enemy, Chen Sheng hurriedly added another sentence.
"This is not only the intention of Military Master Jia, but also the intention of the chief helmsman of your family. I also ask Yuan Xiang to take the lead."
"Yuan Xiu takes the order." Yuan Xiu clasped his fists.
Chen Sheng also clasped his fists, "Master Yuan Xiang, I recognized you as my brother and returned to Chengdu. You and I drank heavily for three days and three nights. Even if your chief helmsman disturbed the mood, I still dare to scold you!"
"Haha, okay! I, Yuan Xiu, also recognize you as my brother! You and I will work separately!"
"Take care of yourself."
"Take care of yourself!"
Two men, each leading men, horses and grain carts, followed Jia Zhou's plan, divided into two groups, and headed towards Laizhou.
…
"Palace Master Chen, the grain truck in Xishu has been discovered!"
"Nonsense, that's our grain truck!" Chen Anshi looked cold and looked up at the dense forest path ahead. Sure enough, at a glance, he found a long line of grain trucks bumping along the road.
Rush on the trail.
"Fool, what's the use of walking on a trail? You'll have to slow down your horse after all."
"Pass my order, charge and kill the Shu people immediately, don't hold back, kill every one of them."
"Kill the Shu people!"
I was afraid that if the Shu people entered the frontier of Laizhou, things would be difficult to deal with. If they encountered the sentry camp of Yuan Song, the king of Donglai, they might also provoke the Donglai army who was guarding the border.
It is advisable to fight quickly.
In his desperation, the grain king's agent seemed to have forgotten the advice of a military strategist - don't rush into the forest and don't cross the water lightly.
"Kill!"
More than 7,000 men and horses rushed forward crazily, densely packed into the forest.
Chen Anshi, who was riding on the horse, was about to breathe a sigh of relief. However, he never thought that his face, which had gradually become calm, suddenly became frightened again.
The dense forest in front of him suddenly erupted into bursts of smoke for some unknown reason, until it turned into a blazing fire.
"Hall Master Chen, it smells like kerosene!"
"Those grain trucks... are going to be burned, and the forest is on fire!"
Chen Anshi was shocked and suddenly understood something.
"Quickly, let the army withdraw! The Shu people... must have known about our plan from the beginning."
He couldn't figure out why the Shu people could still discover it if he did it so secretly.
It's too late.
Not long after, there were bursts of screams and the miserable neighing of horses in the forest. One by one, the burning people ran out of the forest in great pain and rolled on the grass.
Chen Anshi gritted his teeth, feeling extremely angry.
"Check how many people are left. Don't worry about these grain trucks. Go around the fire and continue chasing."
…
About a day later, the Liang Wang Army, with less than 4,000 men left, led by Chen Anshi, made a large circle, and finally discovered traces of the Shu people after repeated explorations.
"You mean...returning to the official road?"
"There were only about 300 people left behind in the ambush. They were killed by surprise. I also just received the message when I was investigating."
"Shu traitor!" Chen Anshi was furious and punched the tree with his fist.
He originally thought that this plan was perfect. But he never thought that the layout of the Shu people was so perfect.
"Is it the poisonous owl or the lame man who can make such a plan?"
With trembling hands, Chen Anshi rubbed his eyebrows bitterly. After thinking about it for a while, he still had no intention of giving up.
"Keep chasing, bring the grain truck with you, maybe we can catch up."
Although more than 3,000 people died, the current number of troops was still enough to kill them.
Chen Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the anger in his heart, and led his men to continue the pursuit. Thousands of carts of food were not paid, and if they were taken away by the Shu people, those people might beat him to death.
"Palace Master Chen, I saw the grain cart, I saw the Shu people's grain cart!"
"Say it again, that's our grain truck." Chen Anshi shouted, "Tell me how far it is."
The overjoyed scout was about to speak——
Unexpectedly, another scout rushed over with a tearful face.
"Master Chen, the Donglai people's army has left the city and has gathered with the Shu people's grain team."
puff.
On the horse, Chen Anshi vomited out a mouthful of blood and fell down. The youngest and most promising person among the forces of the Grain King could not hold back a breath and fainted.
…
"Chen Sheng of Western Shu, pays homage to General Shentu." After entering the city, Chen Sheng bowed his hands to the Confucian general in front of him without any pretense.
"Yuan Xiu has met General Shentu." Yuan Xiu, who was beside him, also spoke steadily.
Under dusk, Shen Tuguan, who was dressed in silver armor, smiled faintly and said, "I've seen you two. I dare to ask General Chen... who came up with this plan."
"I, Military Advisor Jia Zhou of Xishu. In addition, Military Advisor Jia said that I, Xi Shu, are a grateful person and would like to give 500 carts of grain and grass to the general. I originally wanted to send more, but not long ago, the Chengdu granary was burned down.
.Please also ask General Shentu, don’t dislike him.”
"I don't dare." Shen Tuguan's voice was a little unsteady.
The five hundred carts of grain and grass directly turned the three states of Donglai into a conspiracy of Xishu, and stood on the opposite side of the Grain King. But they had to accept it. Donglai and the Grain King were already unhappy with each other.
Secondly, if you don't accept it, you will reject Xi Shu's goodwill.
He could only accept it. He believed that even if the master Yuan Song was here, he would accept it.
The Poisonous Eagle Military Advisor is as wise as a demon.
"General Chen returned to Chengdu and conveyed a message to Military Advisor Jia for me, saying that I would like to apply for the Tu Guan, and I have great respect for Poison Owl's plan."
