    As time passed, the battle situation on the sand table became more and more mature, and the red bamboo chips representing the number of casualties finally dropped below 50,000. Just when Cao Jun was preparing to go all out and launch a large-scale attack, God stopped him again.  It's raining!

    The heavy rains that lasted for several days turned the newly dry land in Huainan into a "Qianli Zeguo" again, and the area near Shouchun was no exception. In order to prevent the camp from being soaked in water, Cao Jun had to move to nearby highlands.  Even so, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are still inevitably suffering from the rain!

    The tent was wet, the clothes were wet, and even the bedding was wet. Soldiers often found themselves soaked in water while sleeping. It was common for them to go home several times a night. Under such harsh circumstances,  The first thing that soldiers have to protect is not themselves, but their armor, weapons, and war horses. These guys are most afraid of rain. If they get rusty, they will be doomed. Therefore, the best highlands are all protected without exception.  It has become an armory and a stable for war horses. As for the people, they can only suffer in the rain!

    In addition, the disadvantages of being acclimatized to the soil and climate have also been revealed. Most of Cao's soldiers are from Yanzhou and Guanzhong. They have lived in the dry and windy north since they were young. They have been exposed to such continuous rainy weather there and have eczema all over their bodies.  It was common, and there were not a few cases of diarrhea. The patients fell down one by one. In order to prevent the disease from spreading, Cao Cao had to build a separate patient camp, and the scale was getting bigger day by day!

    It¡¯s really a rainstorm for success and a rainstorm for failure!

    A belated heavy rain caused Yuan Shu to lose the battle of 'Sanfeng Mountain', but the same continuous heavy rain gave him a chance to breathe!

    There was a rumor in the army that Yuan Shu had nine of his beloved concubines wrapped in iron chains and sunk into the river to bribe the Dragon King of the Weihe River to bring about this heavy rain. According to reports from spies,  The news, this incident is true, Yuan Shu really killed his concubine in order to protect his empire!

    There is nothing more evil than this in human nature!

    If it was just rain and diarrhea, everyone could bear it, but another thing posed a fatal threat to Cao Jun~~There was not enough food and grass!

    Cao's army numbered 170,000, and they were fed by horses, which was a great consumption. Now there are 100,000 more auxiliary soldiers, and the bellies of these people also need to be fed. Originally, they relied on the grain and grass seized from the "Sanfeng Mountain" and the supplies provided by the counties of Yanzhou.  Logistics supply was not a big problem, but the continuous heavy rain caused flash floods and washed away several roads from Yanzhou to Huainan. Food and grass could not be transported, and everyone was about to starve!

    "Anyone who leaks information and cuts off the food route will be killed!"

    "Those who spread rumors will be killed!"

    "Anyone who makes false claims about retreating will be killed!"

    Cao Cao issued stern military orders at the first opportunity to stabilize the morale of the army. The news of the cutoff of the food road was strictly restricted to high-level officials, and ordinary soldiers must not be informed. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be chaotic and they will lose without a fight!

    At the same time, Xiao Yi also issued an order to the Xuanjia Army, Mo Daobing, Dizi Army, and Auxiliary Battalion under his direct jurisdiction. The soldiers must have three meals a day of sufficient quality and quantity, and not even a grain of rice should be lost, especially the Auxiliary Army.  The barracks, as the original prisoners of war, once the military food supply is insufficient, they will be the first to starve!

    In Xiao Yi's view, it is natural for soldiers to eat food. In troubled times, the reason why many people go to the battlefield to fight for their lives is largely to have enough food. Therefore, soldiers are the most sensitive to food. If they reduce it a little, they may  It would cause instability in the morale of the army, or even a 'battalion roar', which would be troublesome, so he specially called for the grain and grass officer!

    "My subordinate Cao Yang, please see the Governor!"

    Soon a fat man with a height of five feet and a waist circumference of five feet appeared in front of Xiao Yi.

    Cao Yang, nicknamed "Fat Cao", was originally the shopkeeper of "Wuchouju" sent by the Liang family in Jixian County. Later, he followed the army. In more than three years, Xiao Yi went from an unknown young man to a master.  A famous general with a heavy army, Fatty Cao has also undergone tremendous changes!

    His current official position is the "Grain Supervisor of the Fifth Army". He is in charge of the allocation of grain and grass for tens of thousands of troops. He ranks above the captains and can enter the Chinese army's tent to participate in military meetings. He and another famous fat man in the army  'Fat Liu', together form the two pillars of Xiao Yi's army's logistics!

    One is responsible for raising military rations, and the other is in charge of all the fire-headed troops!

    Fatty Cao always felt like he was in a dream. His family had been working as waiters for generations, and it was only in his generation that he became a shopkeeper. He thought that his achievements in this life were over, but he didn't expect God's gift.  The noble man made him meet Xiao Yi.

    There is an old saying that goes like a bird follows a phoenix soaring far away. He felt that he was just a little sparrow with a phoenix feather in its mouth.?Being a grain and grass officer does not require bravery or intelligence. His only specialty is honesty and responsibility. He will not embezzle no matter how much grain and grass is given to him. Wang Ji is such a person, a good old man praised by everyone in the army.  Gentleman!

    "What happened to Xiao Lang recently?" Cao Cao's appearance was still so calm, and he had a demeanor that would not cause chaos even when Mount Tai collapsed. However, there was also a darkness and murderous intention hidden in this demeanor!

    The monarch has no morals in governing, and the soldiers have no principles in winning. As long as he can win the war, this traitor will use any means.

    "I'm here to express my congratulations to the Prime Minister!" Then Xiao Yi told him about sending 'Fat Cao' out to raise food and develop insider information. Cao Cao nodded repeatedly, his face turned from gloomy to clear, and the hidden murderous intention disappeared.  disappeared without a trace!

    "This is a great plan. Don't be stingy with money. If you can really bribe a few internal agents, it will increase your chances of winning Shouchun City. As for the treasures used, they will be returned intact after waiting for a while in the city!"

    A potential crisis disappeared, Xiao Yi secretly let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Wang Ji, who was still confused. This honest man's head was finally saved. Good people should be rewarded.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
