Chapter 11 Yuan Shu's grain was stolen, and the blame was shifted onto Sun Jian?
Yuan Shu's main tent
"My lord, the provisions have been prepared and are ready to be sent to Sun Jian at any time."
General Lei Bo clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yuan Shu.
"Hmph, Sun Jian has consumed so much of our provisions. If we don't completely defeat Hua Xiong, we will truly be letting him down!"
Yuan Shu flicked his sleeve and said.
Despite Yuan Shu's wealth and power, in chaotic times, food supplies were the lifeline.
Giving Sun Jian so much grain means that Yuan Shu's army will have much less grain.
As the saying goes, even the landlord's family has no surplus grain.
Yuan Shu did not actually want Sun Jian to become too powerful, but at this moment he had no choice but to send people to deliver grain and fodder to Sun Jian.
Soon, Lei Bo received the order and left.
Once he left the allied camp, the defenses immediately relaxed considerably.
Late at night, Lei Bo ordered the grain transport soldiers to rest on the spot, planning to continue transporting grain when the sun rose.
But soon, footsteps came from the nearby woods!
From far to near, from shallow to deep.
Soldiers dressed in Xiliang military uniforms emerged from the woods on both sides.
In the blink of an eye, they were getting closer and closer to the grain transport team!
"What!?"
"How could this happen in a place like this...?"
Lei Bo was taken aback and immediately ordered his soldiers to counterattack.
However, the soldiers that Yuan Shao sent, including Yan Liang and Wen Chou, were all elite troops.
The grain transport soldiers beside Lei Bo were at most second-line troops.
With such strength, they were naturally no match for Yuan Shao's elite troops.
"Boom!"
One after another, sharp arrows fell from the sky, landing near the grain transport wagons.
The flames shot straight into the sky!
The smell of flames made the surrounding air feel much more agitated.
The night was long and dark, and the grain on the grain carts suffered a devastating blow at this moment!
This fire further extinguished Lei Bo's confidence in commanding his soldiers to counterattack.
With no food left, what good will it do them if they continue fighting?
Like ferocious beasts descending upon the world, Yan Liang and Wen Chou took dozens of lives in the blink of an eye.
Lei Bo was terrified. Looking at the raging flames, he turned tail and fled towards the Allied Army camp.
As for the other transport soldiers, in Lei Bo's eyes at this moment, it was a matter of "better to die than to die myself."
Wen Chou was about to give chase with his spear when Yan Liang stopped him, saying:
"Brother, please do not harm that enemy general."
"The lord has ordered that the scoundrel escape back to the camp."
"Otherwise, who would report the situation here to that scoundrel Yuan Gonglu?"
Wen Chou then gave up, put away his spear, and directed the soldiers around him to clean up the battlefield, killing some of the grain transport soldiers who were not quite dead yet.
……
Back at the camp, Lei Bo's eyes were bloodshot and his legs were trembling uncontrollably.
He wasn't particularly capable, but he had a good relationship with Yang Hong, a trusted confidant of Yuan Shu.
It was through this connection that Lei Bo obtained the task of transporting grain.
Unexpectedly, this well-known lucrative position has now gone awry, and Lei Bo doesn't even know how to explain himself.
With trembling steps, Lei Bo entered Yuan Shu's camp.
The soldiers at the camp gate were speechless with shock when they saw Lei Bo's appearance.
Just then, Yang Honggang came out from Yuan Shu's camp and saw Lei Bo's disheveled appearance. He immediately pointed at his clothes and asked:
"General Lei? Weren't you supposed to be transporting grain supplies? What happened to you, and you look like this?"
“Yang… Chief Secretary Yang…”
"During my transport of grain supplies, I was ambushed by Dong Zhuo's army!"
"The supplies have been burned by Dong Zhuo's army!"
"what!"
"General Lei, do you know what you're saying? Dong Zhuo's army is so far away, how could they possibly appear on our army's essential route for transporting supplies?"
"Moreover, there is Sun Jian's troops blocking the way between our allied camp and Sishui Pass."
"Could it be that all those Dong Zhuo soldiers you encountered could fly?"
Yang Hong, as Yuan Shu's trusted advisor, was quite capable.
Sun Jian's troops were stationed not far from Siguan Pass. If Hua Xiong's side sent troops to intercept the supplies, Sun Jian's troops would not have been unaware of it.
In other words.
Hua Xiong's plan to bypass Sun Jian and ambush Lei Bo's grain transport team was simply impossible!
"Could it be...?"
Suddenly, a seemingly impossible yet highly probable guess flashed through Yang Hong's mind!
Who says that just because someone is wearing Dong Zhuo's army clothes, they are necessarily Dong Zhuo's army?
If one obtains Dong Zhuo's army uniform, it is not impossible to impersonate Dong Zhuo's army.
So, which of the various warlords currently possesses uniforms from Dong Zhuo's army?
The answer is about to come out!
Yes, it was Sun Jian!
Of the eighteen warlords, only Sun Jian's forces have actually clashed head-on with Dong Zhuo's army.
Moreover, Sun Jian defeated Hua Xiong, achieving a great victory by defeating cavalry with infantry.
It doesn't seem like it was too difficult for Sun Jian's army to capture some of Dong Zhuo's army uniforms through this battle, right?
With this in mind, Yang Hong's thoughts suddenly became clear.
He grabbed Lei Bo's shoulder and said:
"Damn it! General Lei, you've fallen for Sun Jian's treacherous scheme!"
Lei Bo opened his mouth, looking at Yang Hong with a puzzled expression.
Why is Sun Jian involved again?
It wasn't until Yang Hong told Lei Bo his guess that Lei Bo suddenly realized what was going on!
"I'm so angry!"
"That Sun Wentai, he eats and drinks the lord's food, yet he still wants to send people to rob the grain supplies!"
Yang Hong nodded emphatically and cursed:
“Sun Jian sent his soldiers to impersonate Dong Zhuo’s army in order to rob our army’s supplies; in this way, our army will surely blame Dong Zhuo’s army for the robbery of our supplies.”
"At that time, the lord will send another batch of grain to Sun Jian."
"Through this move, Sun Wentai can not only obtain the first batch of provisions, but also an additional second batch!"
"They're such ungrateful wretches!"
The two men, furious, went straight into Yuan Shu's tent, where Yang Hong told Yuan Shu his speculations.
Yuan Shu trusted Yang Hong but not Sun Jian.
After Yang Hong said that, Yuan Shu immediately continued to think along these lines.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Sun Jian deliberately orchestrated this whole drama!
The purpose was to deceive Yuan Gonglu about the grain supplies!
"Issue the order! All soldiers and officers in our army are strictly forbidden from having any further contact with that treacherous dog Sun Jian!"
"Supplies? I won't give them to you. Let's see how you starve to death on the front lines!"
