Fang Teng rested for two days, then took five hundred men and set off for Chengdu and escorted the next batch of food and grass.

When he escorted grain and grass to Tonghe City, he had to bring two thousand men with him. That was because the two armies were fighting and doing everything they could. Attacking grain transport teams was a common method, so he had to bring more people to protect the grain and grass.

However, when returning to Chengdu, there was no need to bring so many soldiers and horses - the soldiers who escorted food and grass also had to eat, and now the most advanced transportation method is to go through the river channel, and the carriage.

Don’t count on rivers. The state of Chu and Wu had been in conflict for hundreds of years. If there was such a river, Chu would be in the upper reaches of Wu and Wu would not have been able to hold on for so long.

Therefore, we can only rely on large trucks to transport food and grass. If there are too many soldiers and horses escorts and walk hundreds of miles apart, and the escorts can eat more than they can transport them, what's the use?

Therefore, the food and grass transported from Chengdu have always been relatively small.

Of course, this is also the area controlled by Chu State. There are always thieves who dare to attack a battalion of troops head-on. There are almost no big thieves who dare to attack a battalion of troops head-on.

So Fang Teng is still relaxing at this moment, at least he is much more at ease than going from Yinping City to Tonghe City.

Fang Teng rode his horse to the side of the convoy, looking at a long train of carriages walking on the official road. The carriages were not completely empty. Some of them were letters and spoils from the soldiers in front of him, as well as some specialties purchased from Tonghe Mansion. Now that the Southern Caravan is cut off, they can be sold at a good price in Chengdu.

This is naturally a violation of military rules, but this is also a hidden rule in the military.

Escorting grain and grass is actually a hard job. The only one who has oil and water is the lieutenant. The person who manages logistics is called stamina. Before departure, you must check the amount of grain and grass with the lieutenant. When handing over and off, you must check the grass again with the lieutenant. There is very little room for bothering, but work is indispensable.

Moreover, delivering food and grass to the front line on time is just a small achievement; if there is a mistake, it is a big mistake - in serious cases, it will cause a loss of head.

The bad news mentioned here is not only the enemy's robbery of the food road, but also the accidents that encountered heavy rain, road collapse, and even the cattle and horses that were pulling carts were damaged by their stomachs. All kinds of things were involved, and military rations were the top priority. Military judges would never listen to your explanation of the reasons. Once they were not escorted on time, it would be at least a big mistake.

Of course, transporting grain is so hard, everyone naturally needs to find a way to make up for it - this is human nature, military rules can scare new recruits, but they can't scare those veterans.

However, if you dare to steal and sell escort military rations, you will be cutting your head. It is not just one, but everyone on the line.

The Central Plains countries have been fighting for years, and all countries attach great importance to military law, and few people dare to make such fortune.

However, the rules are dead, people live, and smart people can be found everywhere.

Since you cannot steal and sell military rations to make money, then you can make money from your transportation capacity. Fang Teng is still abiding by the rules. He dares not make trouble when transporting food and grass to the front line. It is normal to bring some extra money back on the way. Even if he is caught by law enforcement in the military, he will only scold him and there will be no consequences.

So Fang Teng was not worried about the incident.

The convoy was walking between two low hills, and suddenly a sound arrow shot into the air. Each of them climbed over the hill from behind and stood on the top of the hill, sandwiching Fang Teng's convoy into it.

Fang Teng was shocked, but was not panicked. Although he was suddenly led by county soldiers, he was still a regular army and was not something ordinary bandit could deal with.

Especially because they are empty cars.

If the south became a thief army with a climate, it would be too difficult to think about it so hard that it would sneak in here just to rob a team of empty cars?

As for other bandits, at most everyone will discuss buying wealth - this is because of the awkward terrain they are in. They are condescending and attacking each other on both sides, which really has the advantage.

The return trip was empty and there was no property worth peeping. Fang Teng was not vigilant and was not even sent out to spies, so he was blocked here.

If it was on the flat ground, Fang Teng would order the person to be chopped without saying a word.

"Put down the weapons and armor, kneel down and be bound, and you will not die." A female general turned out of the team and ordered.

Fang Teng was furious and pointed a spear in his palm and shouted, "Who are you? Do you know what the crime is for robbing military rations?"

Because he didn't expect to encounter an enemy, he didn't even wear armor.

"Husband?" the woman didn't answer, but turned her head and shouted.

"I'll do it." A lazy voice rang out.

A black horse, which was more than one foot taller than an ordinary war horse, slowly shook out from behind the woman.

A man was immediately sitting upright, wearing a black robe and not wearing armor, but was holding a blue halberd in his hand.

The man had a golden crown on his head, and in the middle of the crown, there was a black pearl of alien size the size of a thumb, which did not reflect at all in the sun.

Seeing this person, Fang Teng's face immediately turned pale, then turned blue, and then turned excited red. The gun in his hand was tight and relaxed, relaxed and tight. After several repetitions, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, threw the spear under the horse, and waved his hand to signal the entire army to surrender.

"Sir, the Captain—" Although the personal soldiers around him also threw away the weapons, they still asked in a strange whisper.

Their lieutenant has been on the battlefield many times. He has no choice but to have experienced many battles, but he will not show his face and be so cowardly.

"General Lu is here in person, so he looks down on me as a small grain transport official," Fang Teng said helplessly.

Lu Wu's reputation is terrible in the King's Court of Chu. Everyone calls him a thief, the first thief in Tianzi.

But in the Chu military, there are actually many people who have a good impression of Lu Wu.

Not only Lu Wu, any general who fights will be relatively respected in any country's army, even in the hostile army - but the kind of resourceful and decisive general may not be able to enjoy such treatment.

Lu Wu was also particularly respected in the Chu army.

For nothing else, Lu Wu captured a large number of Chu troops, and most of the soldiers who had no money to pay the ransom were surrendered to Lu Wu, but among the middle and low-level officers, many wealthy people came to pay the ransom and redeem themselves.

If more than five people know about one thing, basically everyone knows it.

What's more, there are more than a few hundred people who redeem themselves?

These people brought the military laws implemented by Lu Wu back. Although they could not be implemented, they did not prevent them from envying them.

Let’s not talk about the fact that those who are capable in the army in Lu Wu are promoted and those who are incompetent are inferior, which is quite fair;

It is already extremely enviable that Lu Wuken shares the spoils with the soldiers in the army.

Under Lu Wu's command, there are ordinary soldiers. If they can participate in the capture of a wealthy city, they can sometimes get hundreds of taels of silver, not to mention the officers.

If these people had not been concerned about the Chu State, they did not dare to treason, and they were not optimistic about Lu Wu's development, and they would have wanted to follow Lu Wu.
