Chapter 466 Guan Yu, don’t come over!

"Dig the ground, cut off the food supply, and destroy their equipment."

Xu You’s words were concise and to the point.

Xin Pi, Xin Ping, Yang Hong and Yan Xiang who were present were not fools and quickly understood Xu You's meaning, which was to dig a tunnel and attack Huang Zhong and others by surprise.

Everyone began to whisper, trying to speculate on the feasibility of this plan.

It only took a moment for everyone to reach a consensus.

This plan works!

The more disadvantageous the situation is, the more risky the move must be!

If the advantage is in their hands, they just need to hold on to this place and confront Huang Zhong. They are confident that they can hold Huang Zhong back.

but.
Now the enemy is strong and we are weak. If we don’t take risky measures, I’m afraid we will not win.

Yan Xiang saw the performance of Xu You, Xin Pi, Xin Ping and others. He had heard about Xu You's arrogance a long time ago, but he never expected that at this time, Xu You was no longer as arrogant as before. Xin Pi and Xin Ping even planned to fill in the gaps for him, and Yuan Shao's troops were united.

Looking at them again, Yuan Shu had little interest in this battle, Zhang Xun wanted to escape, and Yang Hong said that he would follow Yuan Shu's wishes first.

If the commander-in-chief is like this, what about the soldiers under his command?
If Yuan Shu did not have enough prestige, they would have run away and scattered long ago.

Fight Huang Zhong?
They don't want to die early.
Yuan Shu obviously knew that his soldiers were unreliable, so he asked cautiously, "You guys need manpower to intercept the food supply and dig tunnels. In this way, the camp will be empty. What if Huang Zhong sets up a catapult and destroys all our high oars?"

Xin Pi and Xin Ping smiled at each other and said in a comforting voice: "The catapults in the world can only throw stones weighing 12 jin and travel 200 steps. The high oars we have built are not afraid of such catapults."

"Is this true?"

“It’s not an empty statement!”

"good!"

From this point of view, the defense of the camp is sufficient, and there is no need to be afraid of Huang Hansheng. Holding on for a few months and then retreating would not be considered a breach of trust with Yuan Benchu.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu finally felt relieved.

I guess their situation isn't that bad? Isn't this a good location?
If this plan succeeds, the entire Yuan family will have to follow his lead? !

Yuan Shu suddenly felt that he was fine again.

He straightened his back and said loudly: "In this case, let's follow this plan and start preparing!"

"promise."

Generals including Wen Chou and Gao Lan all clasped their fists and expressed their agreement.

"Military Advisor Xu, Yuan Shu's morale has been high these days. We have launched several feint attacks, but were all repelled by his rain of arrows." There was no trace of disappointment in Huang Zhong's words.

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "General Huang, don't you notice that the archers are always the same people?"

Huang Zhong raised his binoculars and took a look, and it was indeed true.

He changed his previous relaxed tone, frowned and asked, "What evil trick is Yuan Gonglu planning again?"

"The Yuan army wants a fight and will never refuse. I think they want our food and fodder."

"forage!"

Huang Zhong's voice suddenly rose several tones. The importance of food and fodder was self-evident.

But when he saw Xu Shu's calm and composed appearance, the worries in his heart disappeared like the wind.

Huang Zhong said calmly: "I think Military Advisor Xu has a solution?"

"That's right. If you think about it carefully, even if we have to take a detour or dig the ground, it's almost time to arrive today." Xu Shu didn't explain directly. He asked, "General Huang, have you seen the second general today?"

"Yun Chang." Huang Zhong suddenly understood something. He looked at Xu Shu in surprise and expressed his guess, "Could it be that Military Advisor Xu sent Yun Chang to guard the grain storage area?"

Xu Shu readily admitted, "That's right." It was dusk and he felt groggy.

A group of more than a thousand people came out of the tunnel, led by Sima Wang Cong under Wen Chou and Sima Chen Xi under Yuan Shu.

Both of them are among the best warriors in the army, skilled in sudden attacks on horseback.

"Sir Wang, we have bypassed Huang Zhong's army and reached Huang Zhong's granary!" Chen Xi was so excited that his hands holding the reins were shaking. Before setting off, Yuan Shu specifically told him that if he succeeded in cutting off the grain route and burning the grain, it would be a great achievement, and there was no need to talk about money. Yuan Shu also promised him that he would help him join the ranks of scholars!

Wang Cong nodded. He didn’t understand why Chen Xi seemed so excited.

"Sima Wang! We spotted Huang Zhong's team transporting food and fodder ahead!"

Before Wang Cong gave the order, Chen Xi laughed loudly towards the sky, shouted "Gee!", and galloped away with hundreds of cavalrymen.

"Sima Wang, what should we do?" asked the guard.

Wang Cong kept insulting Chen Xi in his heart, but no matter how he cursed, it had become an established fact.

He sighed helplessly and squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Follow me!"

The remaining several hundred riders rode out on horseback.

Faced with the attack of a thousand cavalrymen, Huang Zhong's army, which was escorting grain and fodder, was unable to resist. They chose to abandon the grain and fodder and ride away on horseback.

"Hahaha! Chase!" A great victory made Chen Xi's head go crazy. He laughed and urged Wang Cong to follow him.

Wang Cong couldn't help but worry in his heart, could it be a trick?

Chen Xi said indifferently, "Fraud? Why should Sima Wang worry?"

"Could it be possible that Guan Yu will appear in front of us?"

"If it's a trick, we'll just turn around and run!"

Wang Cong thought about it carefully and felt that what Chen Xi said made some sense.

He nodded, "Good, Sima Chen will do as you say."

The two men led a thousand cavalrymen to chase after the fleeing Huang Zhong's army. As luck would have it, they were chasing the remnants and actually came to a granary where food and grass were stored.

Just as they expected, there were few guards at the granary, and the man standing at the door of the granary was a big man with a red face and a long beard.

Chen Xi laughed: "Sima Wang, look, this guy is playing the role of Guan Yu in the novelist's story! Look, he's holding a sword in his hand, what's it called? Green Dragon Crescent Blade, right? Look, this horse is quite red!"

"Hmm? Sima Wang, why don't you speak?"

Wang Cong felt his scalp tingling. Is it possible that the other person is really Guan Yu? Please, can you shut up?
The one guarding the door was Guan Yu.

"Hmph." Guan Yu snorted coldly, his eyes slightly narrowed, and the Red Hare under his crotch rushed towards the two men with swiftness like thunder and lightning.

Before Chen Xi and Wang Cong could react, they felt a chill on their backs. When they looked carefully, they saw a red-faced man appear before them.

"!" Both of them trembled in their hearts.

"To kill you, I only need one sword." Guan Yu said coldly.

Even on horseback, Guan Yu was not affected at all. He swung out his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, drawing a half-moon-like arc in the air and directly knocked Chen Xi off his horse!
Wang Cong was terrified and turned away in fear.

"Thieves, please leave!"

To Wang Cong, Guan Yu's roar sounded like a ghost demanding his life. If he didn't run away, he would really be dead!
When the cavalrymen witnessed Guan Yu's terror, they instantly became confused, followed Wang Cong's footsteps in a large number, and turned around to flee.

Guan Yu casually assigned a few generals to guard the granary, and then led a hundred cavalry to catch up.

Wang Cong turned around and was so scared that he broke out in a sweat. Oh no, Guan Yu has caught up with him. What should he do? ! Guan Yu, don’t come over here!
At the same moment, the catapult was ready!
