Chapter 90 The Crucial Fire
Wen Chou has been very depressed lately...
After Yan Liang was killed by Guan Yu, he was determined to avenge him and was willing to pay any price.
The two had a life-or-death bond, but Yuan Shao kept sending orders...
He must maintain the current situation and not act rashly!
In this way...
He could only stay a dozen miles away from Kaiyang, watching helplessly as he couldn't take action.
What's most hateful is...
That bastard named Guan Yu keeps sending people out to challenge us.
If Yuan Shao hadn't given him a death order, he would have led his men to attack the city long ago and killed that damned bastard!
The immense psychological pressure caused Wen Chou to drink frequently, and he was in a drunken state all day long.
When he got drunk, he would start cursing Guan Yu, vowing that he would not be a human being if he did not kill him.
That day, as usual, he got himself drunk, carrying a large knife and waving it around the military camp.
It seems that this is the only way to relieve the pressure in my heart.
"General, we have new orders from our lord!" A soldier quickly approached and bowed.
Wen Chou casually tossed his broadsword aside, kicking up a cloud of dust.
He staggered over, drunk, and grabbed the parchment letter in his hand.
"Damn it..."
"It's just another defensive maneuver. What's the use of sending so much grain? Do you think we can... can we eat Kaiyang City into bankruptcy?" Wen Chou grabbed the sheepskin letter and roared as he was about to throw it away.
But the soldier in front of him held him firmly, and he quickly said, "General, you mustn't do this! If the lord finds out, he'll be furious!"
"Is he angry?"
"General, please reconsider!!"
Startled by the sudden roar, Wen Chou sobered up considerably.
He then realized that this was definitely not the right thing to do!
If Yuan Shao knew that he was grumbling so much in the military camp...
I'm afraid it won't be long before they don't even have the right to stay here anymore.
He sighed helplessly, then led the soldier to receive the grain.
"From now on, you will follow me!" Wen Chou patted the soldier on the shoulder.
The man was deeply moved and repeatedly clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you so much, General! I will certainly... I will do my utmost to serve you!"
"Alright, alright, enough with the nonsense!"
"Where did this grain come from? Is it because of that Li Zhao?" Wen Chou's voice was filled with barely suppressed anger.
He harbored a deep and abiding hatred for this man named Li Zhao!
They couldn't understand why their lord would willingly help such a person.
While sending them food, we also sent people to deal with them!
What is this?
"That's right, there's a lot of grain this time, enough for us for two months!"
"How can there be so many?"
Wen Chou frowned slightly, and even slowed down his walking speed.
"It was transported from Jizhou, and more than half of it must have been lost. Did that kid really send so much grain willingly?"
The soldier respectfully replied, "No, no, no... this grain did not come from Jizhou!"
"Li Zhao specially sent people from Qingzhou to deliver it, and they are responsible for all losses and expenses!"
"Our lord only said that he needs to guarantee the general's expenses for two months; he doesn't care about anything else!"
"Is that so?" Wen Chou narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a moment of silence, he said nothing and quickened his pace to walk outside.
Not long after.
He then went outside the military camp and saw the large grain transport team not far away.
There were horse-drawn carts and oxcarts, stretching as far as the eye could see. Even Wen Chou had never seen such a scale of grain transport in his life.
"This is fucking unreasonable!" Wen Chou cursed under his breath and quickly walked forward.
Upon arriving at the grain transport team, an official from Jizhou was already waiting there.
He first gave a very polite bow, then introduced himself, "General Wen Chou, I am Zhou An, sent by my lord to deliver grain!"
"Here are the general's provisions for two months. Please inspect them!"
Wen Chou ignored him and walked straight toward the nearest oxcart.
Several burlap sacks were piled up on top, and he drew his short sword and casually cut them open.
moment.
The white rice flowed out with a gurgling sound.
He quickly reached out and caught it, brought it to his nose and smelled its unique fragrance, then turned and asked, "Is all the grain here like this?"
"Yes, General, I have inspected every single bag!"
"Did they all come from Jizhou?"
"No, this was transported from Qingzhou; I was merely supervising!"
As they were talking.
Zhou An took out a parchment document and politely approached Wen Chou. "If the general confirms it is correct, please sign your name on it!"
"After you've signed for it, I can go back and report!"
Wen Chou didn't think too much about it. After casually writing his name, he ordered people to receive the grain and store it at the rear of the military camp.
As for Zhou An and other officials, he didn't even glance at them once.
……
late at night.
In the pitch-black night sky, not a single star could be seen.
Zhou An, who had already left, appeared silently near the camp.
Beside him stood a tall, indifferent figure.
"General Lü Bu, that fool didn't suspect my identity at all!"
"All the grain is stored in that location!" Zhou An pointed to the approximate location of the grain storage in the distance.
After roughly estimating the distance in his mind, he asked without turning his head, "Are the weapons and equipment all ready?"
"Everything is ready; we await the general's orders!"
"Okay, let's get started!"
"clear!"
Following Lü Bu's order, the more than two hundred soldiers who were lying in ambush nearby were all given a new set of weapons and equipment.
Many people were carrying a package in their hands, and under the cover of night, they quickly headed towards the camp where the grain and fodder were stored.
During the day, Zhou An had already figured out the general route.
therefore.
They slipped inside effortlessly and quickly.
The soldiers who were on guard outside were dozing off.
He closed his eyes forever without even knowing what had happened.
The entire operation went exceptionally smoothly, lasting for nearly half an hour.
The flames pierced the darkness and spread rapidly in a very short time!
The entire supply camp was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye.
Because he drank a lot of alcohol that night, Wen Chou slept very soundly.
The generals who came to report were pacing around him anxiously, but none of them reacted.
Helpless, they had no choice but to organize their own firefighting efforts, but the fire was too large to get close to.
They watched helplessly as their main supply depot was reduced to ashes!
When Wen Chou regained consciousness, it was nearly dawn. He was forcibly carried outside the military camp, where the air was filled with a strong smell of burning.
"What...what on earth is going on?" Wen Chou roared in anguish.
Just then.
Several sets of Cao Cao's army armor were thrown in front of him...
