"Sun Jian, I heard that you returned with a big defeat?"

Inside the tent, Yuan Shu looked at Sun Jian and asked.

"Returning to the alliance master, the defeat of Jian is because of the lack of food and grass." Sun Jian said with a dissatisfied expression.

"Not enough food and grass?"

When Yuan Shu heard this, he looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Meng De, what's going on?" "

Historically, the person who did not give food and grass was Yuan Shu, but now it is different, Yuan Shu is the alliance master, of course, he does not want Sun Jian to lose.

"Lord, you have seen it on the day of the distribution of food." Cao Cao looked aggrieved and said helplessly.

"I can prove that."

Cao Cao's words fell, and Chen Liutaishou Zhang Liao spoke.

"On that day, we did see a truckload of grain and grass being transported out of Mengde's camp."

For a time, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Yao, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang and others spoke one after another.

"Brother Wentai, you also heard, how can be the kind of person who presses food and grass and does not give it." While Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he looked at Sun Wentai and explained.

"But what about the grain and grass? You all said you had given food, but I didn't receive a single grain or grass. Sun Wentai looked at Cao Cao.

This piece, let alone Sun Wentai, even Cao Cao and the princes present were at a loss.

Yes, since Cao Cao sent grain, why didn't Sun Jian receive grain and grass?

"Meng De, you can send someone to call the person who transported the grain that day, and you will know as soon as you ask." At this moment, Liu Yu spoke.

"Muzhi is right, come people, immediately call the person who carries the grain of the day." When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly ordered.

After a while, only Cao Ren walked in alone.

"What about people?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren and asked.

"Lord, the man who transported the grain has not returned." Cao Ren's face was a little solemn.

"What?"

When Cao Cao heard this, his face suddenly changed.

In the past few days, Cao Cao has been thinking about wartime, and he has not paid much attention to the matter of transporting grain.

In his opinion, the grain road is in the hands of his own people, so there is no need to worry.

"Brother Meng De, the number of people who transported grain has not returned for days, and I can't help you now." Liu Yu sighed and said deliberately.

"Lord, allies... Please also listen to the explanation. Cao Cao took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "Let me wait to send troops to look for it, and then discuss the rest, how?" "

"With the large camp as the center, the five hundred soldiers carrying grain will definitely not exceed two hundred miles if they swallow grain and grass privately." Liu Yu said at this time.

"It's better that our cavalry factions search along the way to see if we can find Brother Meng De's grain carriers, even if they can't find it, they can roughly find a trace along the way, which can prove that Brother Meng De is indeed distributing grain, rather than covering the grain and not distributing it."

"Excellent, excellent."

When Cao Cao heard this, he glanced at Liu Yu with gratitude in his eyes.

"Of course, for the sake of Brother Meng De, Meng De's cavalry should not be sent, how?" Liu Yu looked at Cao Cao and spoke again.

"Of course."

When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly nodded.

He still understands the truth of avoiding suspicion.

"In this case, then everyone will send cavalry and search along the way, and there are people nearby who can also inquire." Yuan Shu nodded.

With the approval of Yuan Shu, the alliance master, various princes sent their own cavalry to search along the way.

The soldiers sent, in order to speed up the time and scope of the search, all of them were one man and three horses.

In the blink of an eye, three hours passed, and everyone was in the big tent, anxiously waiting.

"Report, all the cavalry who went out to inspect returned and did not find food and soldiers nearby, even traces of transportation." At this time, a spy ran in and reported.

For a while, the camp tent was silent, and all eyes were looking at Cao Cao.

"Lord, allies... I swore to heaven that I really sent grain. Cao Cao's face changed.

At this moment, he even felt that he had a hard time arguing.

"Actually, I personally prefer Brother Meng De, Brother Meng De and Brother Wentai had no grievances in the past, and today they have no hatred, and they will definitely not distribute food and grass." At this moment, Liu Yu stood up and spoke.

"Now, there's another way to prove it."

"What else can be done?"

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked at Liu Yu, especially Cao Cao himself.

"That's checking the grain." Liu Yu said with a serious expression: "There are a number of grains and grass, and the grain and grass that everyone needs in these days will also be registered, even if one of them receives more, the difference in amount will definitely not be great."

As long as you send people to the grain and grass camp to count them, you can find out whether any grain and grass have been sent. "

Hearing Liu Yu say this, everyone suddenly realized.

When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly said impatiently, "This method is good." "

"In this way, it is still the rule just now, except for the people under Brother Meng De's account, the rest of the princes each sent a grain and grass official to count the materials." Liu Yu said and looked at Cao Cao and asked, "So, is it feasible?" "

"Naturally."

Cao Cao nodded confidently.

"Come, follow the method of the deputy alliance master."

Immediately afterwards, there was another long wait, after all, there was so much grain and grass, and it took time to count.

Finally, after two hours had passed, the grain and grass officer entered the big tent and reported; "Lord Qiyu, the amount of grain and grass is not right, and there are six thousand stone more grain."

Six thousand stone grain is exactly the food and grass needed for an army of 15,000 people for ten days.
