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 had ambushed men and horses, preparing to rob food and kill people. But he never thought that the logistics general of Xishu would kill people right here in 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 army and horses, 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 leader who begged for punishment.
"This is a predator. If I were to capture 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 path, 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. Look behind you to see if any scouts are coming back.
Fortunately, not long after, two or three riders finally 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 didn't 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 Yuan Xiang, the military advisor has said that if we find soldiers chasing us, it means that the ambush on the official road has probably been abandoned."
"General Chen, what's wrong?" Yuan Xiu was 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. There will be many enemy troops. Master Yuanxiang must remember not to fight. After escaping, he will immediately rush to Kezhou to meet up."
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 charge."
"Yuan Xiu takes orders." Yuan Xiu clasped his fists.
Chen Sheng also clasped his fists, "Master Yuanxiang, I, Chen Sheng, recognized you as my brother and returned to Chengdu, where you and I drank heavily for three days and three nights. Even if your helmsman spoils 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 was 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 saw that a long line of grain trucks was rushing along the trail in a bumpy manner.
"Idiot, what's the use of walking on the trail? Your horse will slow down after all."
"Pass my order, rush to kill the Shu people immediately, don't hold back, kill every one of them."
"Kill the Shu people!"
I am afraid that if the Shu people enter the frontier of Laizhou, things will be difficult to handle. Encountering Donglai King Yuan Song's sentinel camp, he might also provoke the Donglai army in Xinjiang.
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 a horse, was about to breathe a sigh of relief. But 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.
"Hallmaster Chen, it smells like kerosene!"
"Those grain trucks...are going to be burned down, 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 after another, 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 officialdom again?"
"There were only more than 300 people left behind in the ambush, and 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 I never thought that the layout of those 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 for a while, he still had no intention of giving up.
"Keep chasing, take the grain cart 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 took a breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and led his men to continue the pursuit. Thousands of carts of grain, and he still hasn't given any money, will be taken away by the Shu people, and those few people may 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 old blood and fell down from the horse. The youngest and most promising person among the forces of the Grain King couldn't hold back his breath and fainted.
…
"Chen Sheng of Western Shu, pay 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 don’t dislike me, General Shentu.”
"I don't dare." Shen Tuguan's voice was a little unsteady.
Five hundred carts of grain and grass directly turned the three states of Donglai into a conspiracy of Xishu, standing on the opposite side of the grain king. But it had to be accepted. Once it came, Donglai and Liangwang were not happy 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 lord Yuan Song was here, he would accept it.
Poisonous Eagle Military Advisor is as wise as a demon.
"General Chen returned to Chengdu and conveyed a message to Commander Jia on my behalf, saying that I would like to apply for the Tu Guan, and I have great respect for Poison Owl's plan."
