Chapter 667 Yuan Shu transports grain(1/2)
"Who is this Xu Ding? Why is he the General of the Central Army?"
Yuan Shu's camp, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Mei Cheng, Zheng Bao and other bandits gathered together to drink and drink, and mentioned that Yuan Shu appointed Xu Chu's brother Xu Ding as the General of the Central Army. He was very angry.
These bandits and generals were attracted by Yuan Shu's chivalrous spirit, but most bandits and generals were treated less than Xu Ding.
"Xu Ding is Xu Chu's brother, and it is only through relationships that he can get his lord's reuse."
"We can't beat Xu Chu, can't we still beat Xu Ding?"
"Let's go and have a chance to compete with Xu Ding and distinguish between the superiors and inferiors. If you win Xu Ding, let him hand over the position of General of the Central Army!"
Mei Cheng and Zheng Bao, two bandit leaders who joined Yuan Shu's power, went to find Xu Ding's trouble with generals such as Lei Bu and Chen Lan.
Yuan Shu's ability was not trusted by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, so he was arranged to be responsible for the logistics of the Battle of Guandu. Yuan Shu's generals mostly had nothing to do.
Xu Ding was practicing the Hu Ben Army in the school ground. When he saw the burly Mei Cheng, Zheng Bao and other bandit leaders coming, he remained indifferent.
"This Xu Ding, his troops are quite brave and powerful."
Mei Cheng, Zheng Bao and other bandit leaders saw Xu Ding's Hu Ben Army and believed that Hu Ben Army was an elite force in a hundred battles.
However, the Tiger Army is an elite force in a hundred battles, which does not mean that Xu Ding must be a powerful general.
Chen Qingzhi had a white-robed army, but Chen Qingzhi could not even defeat his own soldiers.
"Xu Ding, I heard that you are Xu Chu's brother, so your force is definitely not bad. Why don't we have a chance to have a fight?"
Mei Cheng's body is like bronze, with an iron chain wrapped around her body, thick arms, and more than 80 military power, so her confidence skyrocketed.
Mei Cheng was a bandit in Lujiang and Chen Lan, the general of Yuan Shu, betrayed Cao Cao after Yuan Shu died. Cao Cao sent such luxurious lineups as Yu Jin, Zang Ba, Zhang Liao and Zhang He to attack Tianzhu Mountain.
The terrain of Tianzhu Mountain was difficult and the generals wanted to retreat. Zhang Liao insisted on attacking, defeated Chen Lan and Mei Cheng, and killed them.
As a bandit general, Mei Cheng was brave but not wise, so he took the lead in challenging Xu Ding.
Xu Ding was standing there without being moved and ignored Mei Cheng.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Mei Cheng slapped Xu Ding's shoulder with a huge palm.
Suddenly, Mei Cheng's face turned slightly pale.
Mei became a force to test Xu Ding. She just slapped Xu Ding. This slap contained more than 80 martial arts power. Ordinary bandits and generals were already unstable.
However, Xu Ding did not move at all, standing in place like an iron tower.
Xu Ding finally spoke: "Why, didn't you eat?"
"Damn it, die for me!"
Mei Cheng was angry and embarrassed. He closed his five fingers into a fist and punched Xu Ding, forcibly fighting!
Mei Cheng's punch can easily break the rocks.
"Overbial ability."
Xu Ding also punched, and the two punched each other!
boom!!
The next moment, Mei Cheng flew backwards for dozens of meters, fell heavily to the ground, and pits appeared on the ground!
And Xu Ding did not retreat in a single step.
"hiss……"
Zheng Bao, Chen Lan, Lei Bo and other Yuan Shu's generals were all shocked.
Mei Cheng fought back and forth with them, but Xu Ding fisted against him, but was easily repelled by Xu Ding.
The right judgment is right!
"This monster is just like Xu Chu."
Chen Lan tried to fight Xu Chu alone and knew about Xu Chu's horror. At this time, Chen Lan saw Xu Chu's shadow from Xu Ding.
If the other party is really a ten thousand enemy like Xu Chu, then it is understandable that Yuan Shu has appointed Xu Ding as the General of the Central Army, because Xu Ding alone is a legion.
Xu Ding snorted coldly: "Do you still want to compete?"
“No, no…”
Mei Cheng's eyes showed fear.
Xu Ding is like a monster, who is willing to fight with a monster?
"Hahaha, I, Yuan Gonglu, have a keen eye for talent, and I did not misunderstand the person."
Yuan Shu came in a golden robe, with the chief secretary Yang Hong, the chief clerk Yan Xiang and others. When he saw Xu Ding knocking away Mei Cheng with one punch, he couldn't help but stroking his hands and praise him.
He, Yuan Shu, finally had two powerful generals with more force than Ji Ling, and he didn't have to rely solely on Ji Ling.
"Master."
Many bandits and military generals greeted Yuan Shu when they saw that they arrived.
"Xu Ding, there is a batch of food and weapons from Runan County, transported to Zhongmu City through a teleportation array. You go to Zhongmu and escort these weapons and food to Guandu Front."
Yuan Shu supervised the transportation of weapons and food from Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Huainan and other places, transported weapons and food from various places to cities near Guandu, and then transported them to Guandu from these cities.
Yuan Shu had to be on guard against Xu Tian sending troops to cut off the food route.
Lei Bo, Chen Lan and Mei Cheng were responsible for transporting up to 100,000 weapons, food and grass for all.
The weapons, food and grass used by hundreds of thousands of people must be escorted by elite soldiers, otherwise they may be burned by the Jizhou army.
Therefore, Yuan Shu found Xu Ding and his Hu Ben Army.
The chief clerk Yan Xiang said: "The Yuan family takes Runan as the foundation, and the weapons, food and grass from Runan County were transported to Zhongmu City in batches. The food route from Zhongmu to Guandu is related to the victory or defeat of Guandu. Only Xu Ding and Xu Chu have the ability to make this food route smooth, please do not refuse."
Xu Ding frowned, pondered for a while, and finally replied: "My lord, don't worry, with me, Xu Ding, there will be tens of thousands of people coming from Jizhou. I will swallow it for my lord. 100,000 people coming, I will reject it for my lord!"
Yuan Shu looked at Xu Ding with appreciation: "When the battle of Guandu is won, I can submit to the court and appoint you as the general of the bandits and the Marquis of Duting."
Xu Ding clasped his fists: "Thank you lord!"
Yuan Shu promised to be named Xu as a marquis, and such treatment was simply a favoritism.
Lei Bo, Chen Lan, and Mei Cheng gave envious eyes.
But who told them that their force was not as firm as Xu Da?
Yan Xiang said to Yuan Shu: "Lord, this batch of weapons, food and grass is enough for a army of hundreds of thousands of troops for two months, which is related to the victory or defeat of Guandu. If something happens to this batch of weapons, food and grass will not only shake the spirit of the army ahead, but also ruin the lord's reputation. To be honest, the lord's reputation is lower than that of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, so he will be arranged to guard the lord."
Yuan Shu's face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.
Yuan Shu was indeed underestimated by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Not only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao looked down on Yuan Shu, but even Yuan Wei, who was the highest-ranking Yuan family, did not trust Yuan Shu's ability to command and agreed to Yuan Shao's proposal to arrange for Yuan Shu to guard the food and grass.
If even the matter of supervising the transportation of food and grass was messed up, then Yuan Shu would be useless.
Yuan Shu looked at a general behind him: "Ji Ling, you, Xu Ding, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Chen Lan, Mei Cheng, a total of six generals, escorting food and grass. Yan Xiang, you serve as the military supervisor."
"In addition to the six generals transporting grain, there are other generals in Zhongmu City, and the generals of Guandu can support them at any time. I don't believe Xu Tian dares to attack the grain road. He dares to exert all the elites, so he doesn't have to guard his camp."
Yuan Shu successively deployed six generals, with Ji Ling as the main general, Xu Ding as the deputy general, Yan Xiang as the military supervisor, and four generals under his command were Yang Feng, Han Xian, Chen Lan and Mei Cheng.
If Xu Tian sent out the main generals and assembled heavy troops, he could of course defeat this grain transport team.
However, once Xu Tian uses too much troops, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao may take advantage of the opportunity to attack the camp established by Xu Tian in Guandu.
The trade-offs must be weighed when defending the camp and robbing the grain.
Yan Xiang shook his head: "Only me and the six generals are still not enough to ensure the smooth flow of food. This is the force used to protect food on the surface. The lord can ask Zhang Kai to lead a team of assassins, rangers and bandits to protect them in the secret. Ji Ling is in the bright and Zhang Kai is in the dark, so that he can protect the food and grass."
Yuan Shu was dissatisfied: "Why should you be so cautious?"
"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of anything."
"Forget it, just follow what you said."
Yuan Shu knew that his chief clerk Yan Xiang had something, so he ordered Zhang Kai, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, to lead the assassin to secretly protect the food and grass.
Zhongmucheng, Ji Ling, Xu Ding, Yang Feng, Han Xian and other military generals led 150,000 troops and escorted the weapons, food and grass transported from Runan County.
There are tens of thousands of grain trucks used to transport grain alone.
"Zhongmu and Guandu are not far away. Isn't it easy to transport grain? The military supervisor is too ruthless."
After seeing that Yan Xiang, the military supervisor, transferred another 50,000 troops, and a total of 200,000 troops were escorted to food and grass, Ji Ling believed that Yan Xiang was making a big fuss.
"The other party is the best prince in the world, with strong strength and powerful generals. He may send troops to rob grain at any time. He has to be careful. No matter how cautious it is, it is not an exaggeration."
Yan Xiang was at least a second-rate counselor, and he was conservative. He knew that Xu Tian had four states and had strong soldiers and horses. He had to be careful and take every step against the great princes of Xu Tian's level in Guandu.
"I don't believe that Xu Tian dares to send troops to rob me Ji Ling's food. If he dares to send troops to come, he will definitely teach him to eat my three-pointed two-edged sword."
Ji Ling still disagreed.
"If I have the chance, I, Zhang Kai, can assassinate Xu Tian among thousands of troops and eliminate future troubles forever."
The Yellow Turban General Zhang Kai led a group of assassins to protect the food truck in secret.
