    ———————————— Guandu is not a city, it is a camp built specifically for transporting grain, grass and baggage.  ∽↗ It was late at night, and the camp was silent.  Except for the bright lights at the east and west gates, darkness enveloped the huge camp.  There was only a faint light in the Chinese military camp.  The general in charge of the Guandu camp is Ren Jun, courtesy name Boda, from Zhongmou County.  He was one of the first trusted generals to respond to Cao Cao's army. He led hundreds of family members to defect to Cao Cao's command. Since then, he has followed Cao Cao in the north and south for more than ten years. He has always been Cao Cao's most trusted and effective rear army commander.  Every time Cao Cao led an army on a campaign, Ren Jun was the commander-in-chief of the rear army, providing food, grass and baggage in the rear. This had been the case for more than ten years, with few exceptions.  The most rare thing is that up to now, Ren Jun has never made any mistakes in the armaments and grain and grass baggage he is responsible for transporting, and has repeatedly thwarted the enemy's attempts to seize the grain road. He is truly foolproof and has won the respect of Cao Cao and even the entire army commander.  trust.  Precisely because he was good at commanding the rear army, Cao Ren ordered him to serve as the commander-in-chief of the rear army when he led the army this time. He was in charge of armaments and food and grass transportation, and he was stationed in Guandu to provide food, grass and baggage for the hundreds of thousands of troops ahead.  ?You readers read that right.  After encountering Zhao Yun's army who robbed the camp at night outside Kaifeng City, Cao Ren's army lost tens of thousands. By the time Zhongmu County was captured, Cao Ren's army of 120,000 was lost by more than half, leaving only 60,000 soldiers and horses to garrison.  Zhongmou, relying on the advantages of the city, faced off from afar with the Western Jin army in the Luoyang camp.  However, within half a month of Li Li personally leading the army to assist Luoyang, the Jingzhou army attacking Nanyang County once again mobilized 200,000 reinforcements from the rear, and Cao Ren's army attacking Henan County also increased its troops.  When Li Lili's army arrived in Luoyang.  Cao Cao of the Northern Wei Dynasty sent generals Cao Hong and Le Jin to lead 100,000 Qingzhou soldiers to reinforce Cao Ren, and they arrived in Henan County almost at the same time as Li Li's army.  So far.  Cao Ren's army numbered 170,000 and was garrisoned in Zhongmou City.  There was a confrontation with the Luoyang camp where the Western Jin army was stationed.  The arrival of 100,000 Qingzhou reinforcements greatly gave Cao Ren the confidence to lead his army to attack Henan County.  Therefore, instead of being afraid of withdrawing because of the arrival of Li Li's army in Luoyang, he reinforced Zhongmou City, arranged his troops, and set up a posture to confront the Western Jin army head-on, quite ready for a decisive battle with the Western Jin army.  At the same time, when hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops were stationed in Zhongmou City, Cao Ren ordered Ren Jun, the commander-in-chief of the rear army, to build a Guandu camp to provide food, grass and baggage for the army.  So, when Zhao Yun was stationing his troops in Kaifeng City.  At best, Guandu is just a ferry for fishing boats. However, after Cao Jun occupied Zhongmou City, in just half a month, Guandu, an originally inconspicuous Yellow River ferry, completed its gorgeous transformation and became a thoroughfare connecting Yanzhou Chenliu and Henan County.  fortress.  Ren Jun was the commander-in-chief of Cao's army who was stationed at the Guandu Fortress. He had a total of 10,000 troops and horses, and was responsible for receiving the grain, grass and baggage sent from Yanzhou, and then supplying the 160,000 troops ahead.  Therefore, Guandu is a transfer station to ensure the logistics supply of Cao's army.  It is also a supply base for storing armaments and food.  Four days ago, when Cao Ren learned that Li Li, who was stationed in Luoyang, had sent two groups of troops, he felt that the long-awaited fighter finally appeared.  So Cao Ren made a decisive decision and ordered Ren Jun to strictly guard the Guandu camp.  On the other hand, he led the army south to Yingchuan to contact the Jingzhou army.  Therefore, there are definitely no more than 50,000 Cao troops left in Zhongmou City to confront the Western Jin army.  In addition to Ren Jun's 10,000 rear troops stationed at Guandu, this is the entire force left by Cao's army to guard Zhongmou, Guandu and Kaifeng.  Correspondingly.  The remaining 110,000 troops followed Cao Ren south to attack Yingchuan.  This is the reason why the east gate and north gate of Yangzhai City in Yingchuan were attacked by Cao's army at the same time.  Since Cao Ren quietly led his army southward, Ren Jun, who was stationed at the Guandu Granary, was on high alert.  Always tighten your heartstrings and dare not relax at all.  He clearly realized that as Cao Ren led his army south to attack Yingchuan, the battle line was getting longer and longer, and the supply pressure from the rear was also increasing. The Guandu camp was particularly important, and he was determined not to make any mistakes.  At the same time, because the battle line is too long, it is easy for defensive loopholes to appear, which allows the Western Jin army to take advantage of it; once the Western Jin Dynasty sends troops to make a sneak attack, the consequences will be disastrous.  If the Xiliang Army really sent troops for a sneak attack, then the first choice target for the sneak attack would be the Guandu camp where he was stationed by Ren Jun.  Because Guandu is the most important and weakest link in Cao's army's long snake formation, which is equivalent to seven inches of a snake. The heart and soul are directly related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops.  Precisely because of this worry, Ren Jun goes to bed very late every night. As of tonight, he has stayed up all night for three consecutive days. He has changed his work schedule to guarding the camp at night and sleeping during the day.  This is a habit he has developed from serving in the rear army for many years. Except for his wives, concubines and soldiers, no one knows that he has this habit.  It is precisely because of his good job in keeping secrets that he has never made any omissions in the transportation of armaments and grain and fodder over the years. He has thwarted the enemy's attempts to rob the camp at night dozens of times. For this reason, Cao Cao repeatedly praised him in public for his "hard work and great achievements."  ", is the pillar of the army.  And Cao ??There is another extremely important reason why we attach such great importance to the task.  This is because Ren Jun's wife is Cao Cao's cousin. It is this relationship that makes him a confidant of Cao Cao and a true royal relative.  Otherwise, how could Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, leave his rear to a general with a foreign surname for a long time?  Not only Cao Cao was like this, but also Li Li in the Western Jin Dynasty was the same.  Li Li was away at war all the year round, and the person responsible for the logistics supply at the rear was Li Xuan, and Li Xuan was the brother of his wife Li Xin. They shared weal and woe, and shared the same destiny.  Therefore, Li Li is undoubtedly the most assured when leaving the rear to Li Xuan, and his level of trust is even higher than that of his uncle Li Jue.  The door of the Chinese army tent was ajar, and Ren Jun, who was dressed in military armor, was crouching on the desk and writing furiously. After approving a bamboo slip, he gently put down his wolf hair and casually picked up the military book he had not finished reading last night, absent-mindedly.  Look through the ground.  It is not unfair to say that he was absent-minded, because his eyelids twitched a few times when he picked up the book of war. Now that he was holding the book of war in his hand, his mind was not on the letter. His eyes were deep and dark, and he looked around from time to time, his eyes paying attention to the virtual world intentionally or unintentionally.  The door is closed.  Tonight, for some unknown reason, Ren Jun felt restless and his eyelids were twitching.  I felt vaguely uneasy, and an unprecedented sense of crisis filled my heart.  As time passes little by little.  This indescribable uneasiness became more and more intense, causing him to feel depressed.  I was so worried that I was not in the mood to read.  Years of fighting gave him a premonition that the crisis was approaching him step by step. What he was most worried about had finally happened. The Xiliang Army had already set its sights on the Guandu Camp. Either tonight or tomorrow, the Xiliang Army would definitely come.  Robbery the camp.  After picking up the book of war and reading it for less than a quarter of an hour, Ren Jun put down the book of war, stood up, walked down the steps, and walked to the door.  He pushed open the ajar door and was greeted by a refreshing cool breeze.  "Ugh!" The moment the cool breeze rushed into his nostrils, Ren Jun smelled a fishy smell in the air. This was a unique smell on the bank of the Yellow River not far from Guandu Ferry.  Because Guandu was the place where fishermen docked their fishing boats for trading after fishing, the fishy smell on the bank of the Yellow River not far from Daying was very strong. As long as someone tugs the boat into the water, the fishy smell accumulated over the years will drift away with the wind.  Come on.  The moment he smelled the fishy smell, Ren Jun's expression changed drastically and he screamed in shock.  Then he turned his head slightly and raised his ears to listen to the sounds northwest of the camp.  Suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats reached his ears: "No! The Xiliang army is coming!" Amidst the screams, Ren Jun instinctively ran away.  Quickly run to the war drum on the left side of the camp, grab the drumsticks and beat the war drum: "Dong——dong-dong-dong!" This is the unique gathering drum of the Chinese army's big tent, that is, beating the drum to raise the tent.  Gather the generals and order troops.  The roaring sound of war drums resounded throughout the camp.  In the blink of an eye, the originally dark tent moved upon hearing the sound.  The lights quickly came on, and the generals of each battalion scattered around the Chinese army's tent rushed out of the tent immediately.  While running towards the military tent, he put on his clothes and armor.  At this moment, the rumble of horse trampling came from outside the west gate of the camp, and almost at the same time, the sound of screaming arrows piercing the air came from the east camp gate, which was quite close to the Chinese army's tent.  Ren Jun stood on the war drum platform and followed the sound. With the help of the firelight on the gate tower, he could clearly see a rain of arrows and arrows like a dark cloud covering the sky above the gate.  At this moment, just by the dense rain of arrows like locusts, Ren Jun could judge that the Xiliang army attacking Dongyuan Gate at this moment had at least 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they were all elite cavalry who were good at riding and shooting. The arrows thrown into the air  Rain is the masterpiece of cavalry galloping.  "Generals, listen to the order!" When the generals who hurried out of the camp rushed to the entrance of the military tent, Ren Jun was already standing on the steps in front of the tent with a spear in hand. Without any greetings or discussion of strategies to defend against the enemy, he directly ordered:  "Cao Xiu led 4,000 troops from the left camp to garrison the west gate. I personally led 4,000 troops from the right camp to garrison the east gate. Ren Xian led the remaining 2,000 men to guard the granary. The battle was imminent, so the generals did not hesitate to lead the troops to defend the camp.  !" Before he finished speaking, Ren Jun jumped down the steps, jumped on his horse, and was about to lead his soldiers to the east gate.  "Father, wait a minute!" Just when Ren Jun was riding his horse, he saw a young general running over to pull the reins and said urgently: "Father is the commander-in-chief of the army, how can he personally take risks? The child is not talented, so I am willing to take my place.  My father went to the east gate to guard the camp, and I begged him to take charge of the central army and take precautions." The person who spoke was Ren Xian, the cavalry captain who was ordered by Ren Jun to guard the granary.  Ren Xian was Ren Jun's eldest son. He was twenty-three years old at the time, but he had been fighting with Ren Jun for many years. Because of his bravery, calmness and magnanimity in battle, much like his father, he was promoted to the rank of Cavalry Commander.  Seeing that his beloved son Ren Xian had asked him to guard the camp, Ren Jun was greatly relieved and truly felt his son's filial piety. However, his face was ugly and he sternly scolded: "The military order is like a mountain, how can it be changed? Guard the granary for me.  It's a great achievement. Without the general's order, the two thousand men under your command are not allowed to move. If not, you will be severely punished!" He scolded his son with a straight face, and Ren Jun grabbed the reins and held the spear in his hand.  With a wave of my hand, I bring my dearThe troops and the right battalion went straight to the east gate.  Cao Xiu, who was reorganizing his army and preparing to go out, saw this scene and rode up to Ren Xian, comforting him: "My uncle loves you and is afraid that you will be in danger. In this case, my brother will stay here to guard the grain depot. You must not  Momentum." After hearing this, Ren Xian nodded slightly, bowed his hands to Cao Xiu, and led his troops to the grain depot behind the Chinese army's tent.  ————To be continued————————————————(To be continued please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: [Sincere thanks: a04050235cxj book friend  Monthly ticket support, thank you!]
