Hundreds of carts were loaded with Wanshi grain and grass, escorted by Zhang Liao himself, located at the vanguard of the army, and galloped quickly.

As soon as Zhang Liao left the city, he was quickly discovered by Yu Wencheng.The tens of thousands of troops were divided into several groups, only following behind Zhang Liao.

Like a pack of wolves hunting, they follow closely behind their prey, ready to tear apart the enemy in front of them with their minions.

From Liuxian County to Xuzhou, it only takes one day to move forward at full speed.Zhang Liao and the others have a lot of luggage, and most of them are infantry. Even at full speed, it will take two days at the fastest.

Just at noon, under the sun, the speed also slowed down.In order to find shade, Zhang Liao could only ask everyone to bury the pot and prepare for a rest.

"General, why don't you leave? You've only traveled dozens of miles, and you're still far away from Xuzhou!" Yang Hong pretended to be impatient, venting his dissatisfaction.

Zhang Liao smiled awkwardly, pointed to the soldiers behind him and said, "You and I are not tired, but look at them, they are really tired. Even if we rush back to Xuzhou now, with such soldiers, they are definitely not Cao Jun. opponent."

Yang Hong sighed, looked at Zhang Liao in embarrassment and said, "In this case, I will tell the brothers below to cook quickly."

Zhang Liao nodded, took off his armor, and sat under the shade of a tree to rest.

In the rear army, Yang Hong nodded to a few of his subordinates. They were all confidantes trained by Yang Hong, and they could figure out Yang Hong's intentions in a word or a line.

Immediately, under Yang Hong's command, everyone put down their work one after another, and disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated.

The stove was dug, and the fire was lit.Many soldiers went to Wei An to collect food and grass.

In the past, every time he fetched grain, Wei An would wither in every possible way, and only a little bit of grain could be mobilized.

But this time, no matter which battalion came, all the food and grass were handed over to the other party, no matter what.

Being so refreshing made it difficult for these military academies to adapt for a while.

If it wasn't for the fact that the food bags in their hands couldn't be faked, everyone probably thought they were dreaming.

The departure was in a hurry in the morning, and many soldiers even hurried on the road before they had time to eat breakfast.Now seeing the grain and rice being fetched, they gather around the stove one by one, wishing they could eat up the entire grain bag in one gulp.

Cooking food in the pot is usually the responsibility of the chief of staff.As the lowest-ranking military officer, the role of the Commander-in-Chief was sometimes no less than that of a commanding general like Zhang Liao.

Zhou Tongnai is a veteran of Bingzhou. He has been away from his hometown for seven or eight years since he went south to Luoyang with Ding Yuan.Although he has been a ten-year-old for so many years, he is already in his early forties this year, and he plans to return to his hometown after working for another year at most, and live the rest of his life with his wife and children on the bed.

For some reason, the bag of food today weighed a lot more than in the past.

Put it on the side of the pot, before opening the tie, several brothers gathered around with a whimper.

"What are you doing, what are you doing! Stay away, don't spill the grain and rice, you won't have anything to eat then, I don't care if you are hungry or not."

Several brothers have been by Zhou Tong's side on weekdays, how can they not know that what he says is usually seven parts true and three parts false.Even in the three-point leave, many of them were in a teaching tone.

"Brother Zhou, I'm so hungry that my chest sticks to my back, can I eat more later?"

"That's right, boss, the brothers are really hungry. This time we go south to fight Cao Jun, and we don't know if we can come back alive. Why don't you have a full meal and die like a hungry ghost!"

Seeing the earnest gazes of the brothers in front of him, Zhou Tong couldn't help himself.

In the military, every day is life and death.No one knows if they will be able to see the sun tomorrow, as that brother said, even if you die, you have to be a full ghost.

"Okay, okay, everyone will eat with open stomachs. After eating, go to the battlefield to kill more enemies, and let those Cao soldiers know that we Bingzhou people are not vegetarians."

Several soldiers cheered happily, attracting the attention of many people nearby.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Tong opened his pocket and was stunned.

"Brother, the water is boiling, hurry up and get the rice!" The soldier who was burning the fire next to him urged.Everyone also sensed that something was wrong with Zhou Tong, and hurried over.

Zhou Tong seemed to be insane, constantly turning over the grain bag in his hand.The facts in front of him made him have to believe it.

This is actually a bag full of sand, except for the top layer of rice, the rest of the place is all sand.

"ah!"

"Why is it all sand!"

"What the hell is this? I'm starving to death. Could it be that I'm eating dirt?"

"Hey, hurry up and ask what's going on."

One after another, the soldiers who received the grain and rice found that there was no grain in the grain bag in their hands, but a bag of sand.

No food, no soldiers!These are people who take risks and serve as soldiers in order to have enough to eat.How could they swallow this breath with the deception in front of them.The bold one went directly to confront Wei An with his pockets in his hands.

At this moment, Wei An is still dreaming of sweet dreams.The price of grain in Yanzhou is so expensive, the three thousand shi of grain and grass, in addition to halfway expenses and management, I also made a lot of money.When I return to Xuzhou this time, I will never be this shit food official again.With this money, wouldn't he be happy for the rest of his life comfortably.At this moment, he still has no idea that the grain and grass he escorted has turned into sand.

When he knew, a large number of soldiers had surrounded the back camp.

Faced with so many questioning voices, Wei An completely panicked.His eyes kept searching the crowd for the figure of Yang Hong.

However, how could Yang Hong stay until now.Knowing the result early in the morning, he took his own people and fled away.

Originally Wei An wanted Yang Hong to take the blame, but he had to take the blame himself.

"Damn it, I'm killing the enemy on the front line, are you just fooling us like this?"

"It's bearable, I can't bear it. Brothers, these guys eat fat all day long, they must have swallowed all the food and grass, everyone search with me!" Some troublemakers directly got into the carriage and used With the dagger he carried with him, he quickly smashed through a bag of food bags.

They didn't give up until the hundred carts of food and grass were all cut open.

Sand and soil, all the loads on the entire hundred carts are actually sand and soil.

Ridiculous, ridiculous!

In order to plan, last night, Yang Hong and a dozen of his subordinates worked hard all night before replacing all the grain and rice with sand.

The farce of the rear army also attracted Zhang Liao. The general in command was stunned when he saw the situation in front of him, and then he realized in a blink of an eye that someone must be playing tricks in the dark.

In order to quell public anger, Wei An could only be questioned loudly.

"Now make it clear that this general can spare you, otherwise, I will definitely kill you."

When death was imminent, how could Wei An hide everything and directly tell the whole story of what he and Yang Hong planned.

The more Zhang Liao listened, the more he frowned.

"Where is the person? Where did he go?" Zhang Liao roared, looking around, but unfortunately Yang Hong could not be found for a long time.

"General, there is no food, what can we do!" Several bold soldiers looked at Zhang Liao with helplessness in their eyes.

"This..." Zhang Liao was about to speak, when a soldier's exclamation suddenly came from behind.

"Cao Jun, Cao Jun is here."
