The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 60
"Could it be that the lord wants to lure the enemy to go deeper?"

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said, "But my lord, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, so how can he trust him? If our army fails to lure the enemy to go deep, but destroys our own morale, what should we do?"

"What's more, after Yecheng, only Bowang City can be defended, but there are so few mountains along the way from Yecheng to Bowang, how to lure the enemy to destroy it!"

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, he had thought about this too.

However, he must defeat Cao Cao as soon as possible. If he does it slowly, once Jingzhou is in trouble, thousands of people in Xinye will be tortured by the flames of war.

"Yuan Zhi, the only way to win this battle is to use righteousness and cooperation to win. What's more, Cao Cao is greedy, so how can he be indecisive when he has such a chance of winning?" Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice with his eyes like a torch.

If Yuan Shao would not dare to do this, but the opponent is Cao Cao, he believes that Cao Cao will not let go of this opportunity.As for how sure it is, it depends on Cai Fan.

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, but did not refute.

"Since that's the case, the concubine will arrange it now, but I don't know how the lord is going to force Cai Fan back?"

"I have already made up my mind, Yuan Zhi doesn't need to ask more." Zhang Xiu raised his brows slightly, he had already figured out what to do last night.

"Forget it, I will take my leave."

…………

The next day, Xinye City.

Jia Xu looked at the letter in his hand, frowned slightly, and thought in his heart that Yecheng's grain could still last for a hundred days, but the lord wrote a letter himself to order Cai Fan to transport the grain.

Cai Fan?Could it be that the lord wants to...

The corner of Jia Xu's mouth curled up with a stern look, and he understood it in his heart.A few months ago, when Cai Fan surrendered, Zhang Xiu had said that this person might be useful, and it seemed to be about this time.

But is this too risky?

Forget it, there may be no other plan available at the moment.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu said: "Come here, immediately allocate [-] hu of rice, and recruit [-] peasants to assist the food supervisor to transport the grain."

…………

Three days later, outside Xinye City.

Cai Fan looked arrogant. After all, Zhang Xiu's ability to entrust him with the important task of transporting grain showed his trust in him. At least his status in Zhang Xiu's heart was not low.

It also contributed to his defiantness.

"General Cai, the rations are ready, please count them up." The one who spoke was a partial general, flatteringly.

Cai Fan enjoyed this feeling quite a bit, and walked around the many grain carts, nodded and said proudly: "That's right, that's right, these military grains came from the hands of military advisor Jia Xu, so it's safe to imagine."

"But what about military advisors?"

"The general doesn't know something. Jingzhou stationed troops in Fancheng, and the soldiers were pointing directly at Xinye. The military division was so busy that they didn't have time to take care of others. I hope the general will take care of them." The general explained.

"That's right, well, let's go, this batch of military rations is urgently needed at the front!" Cai Fan didn't think much about it.

When the words fall, the general will smile flatteringly,

"General Cai, you appreciate my lord, don't forget to come down in the future! I have prepared several altars of fine wine for the general in the car, and you can stay with the general for a drink on the way."

"Hehe," Cai Fan's eyes lit up, "Don't worry, after the enemy is defeated, I will personally recommend you as captain."

"set off!"

Watching Cai Fan go away, there was no smile on his face, and he spat lightly, quite disdainfully.If it weren't for the military adviser to make him like this, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to this villain.

After marching for three days, Cai Fan still couldn't resist the temptation of good wine, so he camped early every day, and got drunk a few times, which caused quite a lot of complaints in the camp.

Another three days,

Cai Fan ordered people to camp early.

The guards around him persuaded: "General, you can't drink any more. There are quite a lot of complaints in the camp recently. If you delay the time for the army rations, I'm afraid the lord will punish us severely!"

"It doesn't matter, as long as the food and grass arrive before the army runs out of food, the lord will only reward, not punish." Cai Fan waved his hands rather agitatedly.

"But the general,"

"Get out, I dare to say more, I will kill you."

Just as the voice fell, a dull voice sounded, "Huh, Cai Fan, you are so brave, do you know that transporting food and drinking alcohol is a death penalty?"

Saying that, the tent curtain was lifted.

He was a partial general in the camp, but Cai Fan knew him. He was one of Zhang Xiu's trusted subordinates.

Seeing this, Cai Fan woke up most of the time, and said anxiously: "General Li is coming, why don't you tell me in advance, come here, hurry up..."

"No need, you marched and drank, the lord has already learned that the special order will come to punish you for [-] boards, so as to make an example.

In addition, within three days, you must transport the food to Yecheng, otherwise you may lose your head, so you can do it yourself.Execution. "Pian Jiang said with a serious smile.

After finishing speaking, the guards behind him directly captured Cai Fan, and punished him thirty times in front of everyone.

By the time Pian was about to leave, it was already night.

inside the tent,
Cai Fan's butt was beaten to pieces, and now he was lying on the couch and howling non-stop, while several guards applied medicinal herbs to Cai Fan.

"General, even if you made a mistake this time, if you donate the city to vote for his Zhangxiu, it will be regarded as equalizing your merits and demerits. This embroidery beats you like this, General, it is really inhumane."

"That's right, General, and it's still [-] or [-] miles away from Yecheng, and the food team can only travel [-] miles a day. Let alone three days, even five days will hardly reach Yecheng!"

Cai Fan endured the pain, and his expression became serious.

"You don't need to say too much, Zhang Xiu treats me well, and I think it shouldn't be unreasonable."

"General, the military rations are different from others. If Zhang Xiu really wants to kill you, what should the general do? What's more, now that Liu Biao is attacking, Zhang Xiu is already a grasshopper after autumn, and he will only be able to jump for a few days."

The guard said in a low voice.

"You mean to reverse Zhang Xiu?" Cai Fan said solemnly, squinting his eyes.

"Well, general, now that Cao Cao and Liu Biao are attacking from both sides, Zhang Xiu will be defeated, so why bother to sacrifice his life for him? And Cao Cao coerced the emperor to command the princes, he is the hero, it is better to vote for Cao Cao again."

The personal guard said in a low voice.

"Return to Cao Cao? But I abandoned the city and surrendered earlier, how can Cao Cao tolerate me?" Cai Fan thought about it, but he was worried. After all, Cao Cao was notoriously cruel.

"General, you can say that surrendering to Zhang Xiu is a vain act. To confuse him, you actually have your heart in Cao Ying. What's more, isn't your clan brother still under Cao Cao's command? A good word will be enough then."

"Then... vote for Cao Cao?" Cai Fan asked with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Well, this time our army escorted the military rations, which is exactly where the military merit lies. As military merit, surrendering to Cao Cao must be of great importance. It is so easy for the general to be appointed as a marquis."

"Okay, Zhang Xiu is not benevolent, so don't blame me for being unrighteous." Cai Fan narrowed his eyes and clenched his five fingers angrily.

"Li Zhen, you went out of the camp overnight and galloped through Cao's camp in the starry night. Forget it, I will go in person. You will find someone to take my place and carry me on the march tomorrow, so that the deputy commander-in-chief will not be suspicious."

A trace of sternness flashed in Cai Fan's eyes.

"Don't worry, general, I will understand later."

Several guards said in a low voice.

That night, Cai Fan covered his head and galloped on the horse, so as not to be recognized by others, but this journey made his butt that was already bruised and bruised even more painful.
