Lu Bu gave the order, and all the soldiers immediately put down their swords and guns and acted as qualified porters, regardless of chasing the enemy.
When the soldiers saw the piles of grain, they immediately beamed with joy. Some even stepped forward to grab a handful of raw grain and put it in their mouths to chew.
“It smells so good!”
"I can eat enough this time!"
"Move back quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to take away a grain of food."
The soldiers were also hungry and scared. When they heard this sentence, it was more effective than anything else. They immediately used all their strength and started to move the food.
Originally, the soldiers had traveled a long distance and charged at a high speed, and were already exhausted. However, knowing that the food was likely to be taken back again, they could not care about their exhaustion.
Chen Gong, who had always been so calm, was now sweating profusely as he jogged all the way to the Chinese army's tent.
"Marquis Wen, there is too much food, and the cart cannot fit it."
After hearing this, Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Ask the cavalry and spies to give up the horses, and we must move all the food away."
"What?"
Chen Gong was taken aback, "Ask them to let their horses out. What if they encounter enemies?"
Lu Bu shook his head, "I can't control that much anymore. Let's transport the food back first. This opportunity is rare, but we can't waste it."
Chen Gong was reluctant to part with the food, so he cupped his hands and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Lu Bu say again.
"If it's not enough, ask the generals who have horses to let them go from bottom to top until all the food can be taken away."
Upon hearing this order, Chen Gong twitched the corner of his mouth and hurriedly turned around and left.
Lu Bu was lucky. Cao Cao had just transported all the nearby grain here, but he caught up with him.
After more than an hour, all the food was arranged properly, and the tents in the camp were even disassembled, loaded into trucks, and taken away together. Then they left the camp and headed towards Dongmin overnight.
Lu Bu took Zhang Liao and others to stay behind to prevent Cao Cao from catching up.
All the soldiers knew the importance of food, and rushed forward carrying the food without waiting for the generals to urge them.
…
Cao Cao led everyone to escape from the camp. Hearing the shouts of killing coming from behind, he became even more panicked. He immediately hit his horse and galloped away in the direction of Juye.
After returning to Juye, Cao Cao immediately ordered people to recall troops and horses from various places to prepare for another battle with Lu Bu.
By the time the soldiers and horses who had dispersed to collect food rushed back to Juye, it was already dawn.
Cao Cao immediately led his army and hurried to the camp, only to find that the camp was in ruins and the large piles of food had long disappeared.
"hateful!"
Cao Cao roared angrily, "Give me the order and chase them immediately. We must not let them take away the food."
The army set off again, heading towards Dongmin. At the same time, Cao Hong was left behind to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses back to Juye to prepare food.
When the tide of Cao Jun soldiers left the camp, no one noticed that a sparrow was startled in a forest not far from the camp.
Although the sparrow cannot spread its wings and fly high like the goshawk, it is flying in the sky after all. It flaps its small wings quickly and the speed is not slow. In a short time, it has surpassed Cao Cao's army and flies towards the distance.
…
Lu Bujun traveled all night and waited until dawn. He only took a short rest and ate some dry food he brought with him before setting off again.
The soldiers were really tired. Some fell asleep lying on the cart while pushing the cart, but their footsteps were still moving mechanically, and miraculously they did not fall behind.
The horses of generals at all levels were used to carry food, and they could only run around panting. When they saw the sleeping soldiers, they immediately stepped forward and slapped them awake.
"Stop sleeping, go back and let you get enough sleep."
…
Zhang Liao, who stayed behind to break up the rear, was sweating profusely on his forehead and his eyes were filled with anxiety.
The sweat on my forehead was not from heat, but from nervousness.
After so many years of leading troops in war, this is the first time I have experienced something like this.
With such a force of more than 10,000 people, there is not even a single spy to go everywhere to find out the news!
Zhang Liao feels like a headless fly now, unable to see the situation around him, and his head is full of confusion!
However, he also understood why Lu Bu gave this order.
They are all afraid of poverty, and when they see food, they are not willing to throw it away at all.
If it were him, he would do the same!
Zhang Liao turned his head to look at Lu Bu secretly, but suddenly found that Lu Bu's expression was still calm, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao was immediately impressed!
Mount Tai is overwhelming, but his expression remains unchanged!
The general was a soldier's spirit, so Lu Bu was not surprised, and Zhang Liao's nervous mind gradually calmed down.
What are you afraid of?
Even if Cao Cao comes after him, there will be a battle at worst, so what?
…
Lu Bu was not nervous because he knew that Cao Cao did not lead his troops to catch up.
When leaving the camp, he deliberately left the little one behind to watch.
He knew very well that food at this time was very precious, and Cao Cao would definitely bring troops and come to the camp to check the situation.
When Cao Jun leaves the camp, the little boy will fly back to report the news.
The little boy hasn't come back yet, which means that Cao Cao's army hasn't arrived at the camp yet.
Suddenly, Lu Bu became energetic. He could feel that the little one was not far away.
As soon as this thought came up, a little sparrow flew from a distance and landed on Lu Bu's shoulder.
twitter!
The little one put his little head against Lu Bu's face and called out affectionately a few times.
Lu Bu hurriedly looked around and saw that everyone looked exhausted and no one was paying attention. Then he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the little one and put him on the horse.
Cao Cao is here!
Now that the little one is back, Cao Cao is probably on his way to chase him.
Lu Bu looked ahead, with a sneer on his lips.
So what if it comes?
In another 30 miles, we can reach Dongmin. It is already too late for Cao Cao to catch up.
The little one was exhausted after flying such a long way. As soon as Lu Bu let go, he chirped, plunged into the red rabbit horse's mane, and went to sleep peacefully.
Chitu Ma felt something on his neck and neighed. He didn't care, just shook his head and let the little guy go to sleep.
Ta-ta-ta!
Chen Gong hurried over from the front army with a smile on his face.
"Marquis Wen, there are still 30 miles left before we can reach Dongmin."
Lu Bu nodded, "Let everyone work harder. It will be safe when we get to the city."
Chen Gong wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes were wise, and he had regained the confidence of a top counselor.
"Marquis Wen, this time Cao Mengde has been robbed of so much food by us. He will definitely not give up and will lead his troops to pursue him."
At this point, Chen Gong paused and frowned, "Cao Mengde's strength is far superior to ours. If he leads his troops to Dongmin, will Marquis Wen be able to retreat from the enemy?"
