After autumn, the weather is still hot and the sun makes people unable to lift their spirits.
On the wide and long official road, a group of soldiers protects the carriages on their way.
"诱辘辘" The wheels turned, rolled over the official road, and moved forward slowly.
There were quite a few soldiers on the official road, six hundred in total.
The leading general was riding on a horse, holding a sharp sword in his hand, and rode forward slowly.
This general was about twenty-seven or twenty-seven years old, with a chin and beard.
He had a dignified appearance, but his expression was serious, exuding a chilling air.
He took the lead and did not look back at the soldiers behind him, but none of the soldiers dared to be lazy.
This person is Cao Ren, Cao Cao's general, who is responsible for escorting Cao Cao's grain and grass.
The Art of War says that before the three armies move, food and grass will go first.
In order to ensure the safety of the food and grass, Cao Cao specially sent Cao Ren to escort the food and grass to ensure that there would be no mistakes in the food and grass.
When Cao Ren was young, he had a perverse personality and acted without scruples.
But when he grew up, he was respectful and serious, and his every move was well-organized, which made people fond of him.
Such a huge change has to be said to be a surprising thing.
Because of this, Cao Ren was very important under Cao Cao, and his status was even stronger than Xia Houyuan's.
Not only that, Cao Ren also has another identity.
He is Cao Cao's younger brother.
In ancient times, the ancients considered men of the same generation who had the same great-grandfather but different fathers and were slightly younger than themselves as their younger brothers.
Between Cao Cao and Cao Ren, Cao Cao's father Cao Song and Cao Ren's father Cao Chi have different fathers and different grandfathers, but their great-grandfathers are the same.
In later generations, they are described as cousins.
However, the ancients valued family very much.
Although the relationship between the two is several generations apart, they belong to the same family and have a very good relationship.
When Cao Cao raised an army to attack Dong, Cao Ren followed Cao Cao and became a marching Sima under Cao Cao.
Now that Cao Cao has occupied Yanzhou and launched an army to attack Chang'an, Cao Ren is responsible for Cao Cao's logistics and food supplies.
Although this was a casual job, Cao Ren was meticulous and did not slack off at all.
Because of this, Cao Cao could be entrusted with important tasks.
The sun was high in the sky, and the sun was extremely dazzling.
Cao Ren looked up at the sun hanging in the sky and made a mental calculation.
It is definitely impossible to complete the rest of the journey today, and we will not be able to reach the camp outside Chang'an City.
Even if we travel all night, we will not be able to reach the camp.
We will not arrive until tomorrow.
Cao Ren thought for a moment, raised his right hand, stopped the army that was continuing on its way, and ordered: "Everyone should stop to rest, bury the pots to make rice, and after eating, rest for half an hour, and then continue on the road."
The soldiers escorting the grain and grass immediately relaxed after hearing this.
Cao Ren did not relax.
He asked his five hundred soldiers to rest, and the remaining one hundred were responsible for guarding.
In this way, we can respond quickly when encountering emergencies.
Cao Ren got off his horse and walked to the official road, where he sat and rested under the shade of a tree, waiting for the soldiers in charge of cooking to cook the rice before he could fill his stomach.
At this time, a primary school student under Cao Ren came over, smiled, and sat down.
The colonel tilted his head and said: "General, we have escorted enough food and grass for the army for three months.
With this food and grass, we will be enough to defeat Wang Can, and then support the army to return to Yanzhou.
After we arrive at the camp, can we go up?
We have accomplished meritorious deeds by killing the enemy on the battlefield, and our brothers have been escorting us with provisions and are ready to go to the battlefield.”
Cao Ren glared at the principal and said, "Just do whatever the Lord tells you to do, don't think too much about it."
Xiao Xiao didn't get the answer, so he curled his lips and stopped talking.
Cao Ren saw that the principal looked a little disappointed, and said: "Don't worry, in today's troubled times, wars are frequent, and you will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

Haha, as soldiers escorting food and grass, you don't have to fight desperately.
You are not blessed to have such leisure.
I’m on an errand, but I want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I don’t understand.”
The colonel clenched his fists and said: "General, I follow your example and want to be a general."
The principal looked very serious, which made Cao Ren laugh.
In fact, after hearing what the principal said, Cao Ren's eyes flashed with anticipation.
For generals like this in the army, going to the battlefield to kill enemies and make meritorious deeds is the most desirable thing.
When a man is alive, he will make achievements and strengthen the country when he enters, and when he comes out, he will be wrapped in horse leather to show off his family's reputation.
How can he be inactive?
However, Cao Ren knew that grain and grass were the lifeblood of the army, so he escorted the grain and grass without complaint.
Not long after, the fragrant smell of rice wafted from the official road.
The soldiers gathered together, eating and talking.
Cao Ren also walked over to eat a big pot of rice with the soldiers.
While the soldiers were eating, in the woods a hundred meters away, the weeds swayed slightly for two times, and then stopped moving.
On the official road, except for the lively chatter, laughter and noise of Cao Ren's soldiers, there was no other sound.
Yizhou Army, inside the camp.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, while Wang Can was dealing with military affairs, Xu Rong and Lu Meng came to the tent together.
At this time, six days had passed since the battle between Wang Can and Cao Cao.
In the past few days, neither side has sent troops.
Wang Can is waiting for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao sent people to work hard to make sword carts, hoping to give Wang Can a big surprise.
Both sides have their own ideas and plans.
Intend.
Wang Can looked at the two people and asked: "Changming, is there any news about Cao Jun's food and grass?"
Xu Rong and Lu Meng had been in charge of Cao Cao's food and grass affairs, so when Wang Can saw the two of them coming to see him, he immediately thought that they must have discovered that Cao Cao's generals were escorting the food and grass.
Xu Rong nodded, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, Cao Cao's generals led more than 600 people to escort the grain and grass to Cao's camp.
According to the scout's estimation, the grain and grass transported this time was very large, enough for three of Cao's camp's tens of thousands of soldiers.
Yue's food, if the lord can snatch all the food back, Cao Cao's army will be short of food. " After Wang Can heard this, he asked again: "Are you sure there are only 600 people?"
Lu Meng and Xu Rong nodded at the same time and said, "There are only six hundred people."
After hearing this, Wang Can suddenly fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Wang Can said: "There are only 300 people in Langya Camp.
Although it is equipped with Ma Jun crossbows and Han knives, it is still difficult to annihilate all 600 people without leaking any information.
In this way, I asked Pei Yuanshao to lead 400 people.
The soldiers will go with you, and with Pei Yuanshao's help, we can wipe out all the soldiers under Cao Cao's command."
"promise" The two of them answered with fists clasped, expressions of excitement on their faces.
This time, Cao Cao was defeated.
After the two left Wang Can's camp, they headed towards the camp where Pei Yuanshao lived.
After Pei Yuanshao got the news, he excitedly ordered the four hundred soldiers, and then left with the three hundred spike soldiers under Lu Meng's command.
However, after the seven hundred people left the camp, they did not choose to bypass Cao Cao's camp to sneak attack the soldiers escorting the grain and grass.
Instead, they went directly south to Yizhou, so as to avoid the detection of Cao Cao's spies.
After the spy's sight, Lu Meng, Xu Rong and Pei Yuanshao led their troops to turn around and run towards the east.
After so much tossing, the army quietly rushed to the rear of Cao's army to guard the grain.
Xu Rong led his troops to sneak attack, but Wang Can did not stay in the camp.
In order to prevent Cao Cao from having time to deal with food and fodder, he simply led the army to Cao Cao's camp and asked Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun to fight, hoping to attract Cao Cao's attention and let Cao Cao fight.
With Wang Can leading the troops as cover, it would be much easier for Lu Meng and Xu Rong.
