That's right, how could Sima Fang let a child with a foreign surname take the lead in such a big matter?
Even if this foreign surname has been in the Sima family for nearly ten years, it is not allowed.
Sima Fang was responsible for the Sima family, so he had to be careful, more careful, and even more careful, and this time, his caution was rewarded.
Ma Chong is like the stone that casts stones to ask for directions.
Throwing it out will naturally cause some shocks. It's best if you can survive. If you can't survive, there will be observers quietly behind to observe the relevant situation.
"So..." Sima Fang sighed, "Is there more than a thousand and five people?"
Sima Jin nodded and said: "There are still some civilians in the rear camp, and the children are not included. If we count them together, there should be more than 2,000 people."
Two thousand people.
This number is obviously very problematic.
If you want to attack Wubao by force, two thousand people are not too many, but if you say they come with the purpose of "peace", two thousand people are too many...
"Don't take it lightly!" Sima Fang said in a deep voice, his slightly cloudy eyes revealing a ruthlessness, "It is a taboo for military strategists to hang their lives in the hands of others!"
Sima Lang and others looked condensed, bowed their heads and responded, "Thank you, father, for your teaching! Please remember this, kid!"
Sima Fang nodded, then closed his eyes, "Ring the bell and gather the crowd! Send the order and set out overnight to avoid disaster in the mountains!"
Sima Lang raised his head, as if he wanted to say something, but after a moment he nodded in agreement without saying anything, and turned around and went out to deliver the order.
The Sima family is good at forbearance.
If you can't bear it anymore, then the only thing left is "cruelty".
Be ruthless to yourself and be ruthless to your enemies.
Sima Fangdan gave an order, "Let's set out within an hour! If you can't take it with you... just burn it!"
The bell rang, startling the residents in Wubao.
Those who can live in Wubao, even if they are not members of the Sima clan, are basically old people who have been with the Sima family for a while. These people usually farm around Wubao, and during their leisure time in winter, they will also do some military work.
training, after all, in the past few years, the surrounding area has not been very safe. Even if there is no threat from the barbarians, there are still attacks from the Black Mountain Army's Baibo soldiers or other bandits.
This is also a microcosm of the current Han Dynasty. There are Wubao forts everywhere in the Central Plains. Almost every Wubao can be regarded as a unit with certain combat effectiveness. But similarly, because the personnel in the Wubao are mixed, most of them
It's okay to garrison under the circumstances, but if you want to fight as the main force, it's far behind.
After hearing the bell, everyone in Wubao came in a hurry. When they got to the middle of the square, they couldn't help but whisper to each other and asked what happened. Many people thought that there were bandits nearby, but some people said that it might be winter.
There were wolves, tigers and leopards coming down the mountain in search of food and hurting people. Some people were woken up in the middle of the night and were in a state of shock, while others were looking down and thinking, not knowing what they were thinking.
While there was a lot of discussion, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "The old lady is out!"
The torch was shining, and Sima Fang rode out slowly on horseback.
Everyone immediately turned to Sima Fang, saluted and greeted him.
Although the legs are weak and the muscles have inevitably atrophied due to not moving around for a long time, there is still no problem in simply riding a horse. After all, if you are lying down and being carried out, it will be too ugly and will inevitably lose morale. Riding on a horse, even though it is necessary to go up and down
He was supported by others, but he pretended to be okay. In addition, Sima Fang's white hair was as white as frost and he was dressed in a military uniform. He looked quite presentable, with a kind of evil spirit that was not angry but powerful!
Sima Fang glanced around, looking at the people of Wubao saluting in front of him, and looking at the familiar plants and trees around him. He felt slightly emotional, but this emotional fluctuation was suppressed in an instant.
Under the gaze of everyone, Sima Fang slowly spoke, his voice not very loud, but full of power, "I have received news that General Le Shi of Hanoi, with two thousand soldiers, wants to come here!"
The crowd originally made a slight noise, but now it fell silent, and everyone was stunned.
Could it be that you, a bad old man, said and wrote bad things about Prime Minister Cao and were caught?
Group... No, Wubao is going to explode?
Did Le Jin send troops to read the water meter?
Everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar.
Sima Fang smiled indifferently, "Although my body is broken, I don't want to die. Wubao can prevent thieves, but it is difficult to defend soldiers! I think you can avoid the front of the army for the time being. You can follow or not. If you are willing to follow, you can
It’s time to pack up quickly and leave immediately... If you don’t want to, please leave this place temporarily, after all... the battle has been wiped out, so don’t be careless..."
The Cunning Rabbit has three burrows. How could the Sima family only have one Wubao when the Sima family is so big?
This Wubao seems to be very important and the core focus of the Sima family, but in fact it is just an empty shell. It’s just that if the empty shell stays for a long time, it will have some emotions, just like it will be left behind in future generations.
Isn’t it the cement shell that generations of people have poured into it that they never take with them when they die?
But when he decides to give up, Sima will never be sloppy!
After Sima Fang finished speaking, everyone was still silent, as if they couldn't react from the shock for a while.
Leaving now?
Shouldn't we close Wubao, close the gate tightly, and then go up and down the Wubao with a few words? Even with a thousand or two thousand soldiers, Wubao may not be able to be conquered?
Why leave?
It was difficult for everyone to understand, but Sima Fang obviously didn't want to explain too much. After saying a few words, Sima Fang nodded to everyone, and then took Sima's private soldiers and prepared to leave. But the person in charge made the decision.
Be decisive and lively, nothing great can be accomplished by being long-winded!
Once a decision is made, it must be implemented immediately. Although Sima Fang is also reluctant to give up this fort like this, and he is also reluctant to put all the effort he has spent on this fort over the years, but at this time, what is the use of acting like a little daughter?
You know, how long did it take for Cao Cao to conquer Xun Wang's Wubao?!
Who can guarantee that when Le Jin sends his troops this time, he will not bring the thing called "Shaking Thunder" with him?
Rather than betting your life on the enemy's softness, it's better to hold it tightly in your own hands!
It’s like clearly seeing a big car slowly approaching in reverse, then stopping in place and yelling, or even trying to pat the back of the car to alert the driver of the big car that there is someone behind...
If you have some spare time to call for a ride, why not get out of the danger zone as soon as possible!
When they are out of the danger zone, they will criticize and curse again, and even step forward to pull the driver off...
If you lose your life, why are you scolding me?
A living horse is always more useful than a dead horse. Sima is just a Sima, and he doesn't want to become a dead horse, and he doesn't even want to take such a small risk.
As a result, there was a commotion in Simawu Fort.
No one would have thought that on such a leisurely winter night, when the cat was supposed to be peaceful and peaceful at home, something like this would happen!
But not long after, among the crowd, some people began to run home, pack their things, take their cattle and sheep, and bring their weapons, ready to keep up with Sima Fang and others.
Wubao is a big family. Everyone lives together, lives together and dies together. Only in this way can we survive longer in a troubled world.
Each aristocratic family is just a larger Wibi Fort Village community.
Following the family master has become the instinct of most people in this era.
If the family wants to leave, where else can they go if they don’t follow?
Even though there are millions of reluctances, everyone knows that if we really encounter the situation that Sima Fang said...
These days, it’s hard to say which side has more civilians dying at the hands of thieves or at the hands of soldiers!
Staying here is a dead end. It is better to follow the old family master and settle down in another place!
Sima Fang rode his horse, surrounded by direct descendants of the Sima family, and behind him were vehicles pulled by livestock.
Torches shone on the road, and figures swayed.
Sima Fang glanced back, and then told Sima Lang in a clear voice, "Send a few people to give orders to the shops in Wen County, and immediately leave the city behind closed doors to escape... In addition, send some more people to pay more attention on the road... Take a look."
Is there anyone who deliberately left any mark...write it down, clear the mark, and then...kill it...』
…)…
The sky gradually gets brighter.
Chen Feng, who had not slept well all night, took the lead in leaving the barracks with 500 new soldiers.
He knew Ma Chong, but he pretended not to know him. So Ma Chong was treated as an ordinary hunter and killed.
Shouldn't he be killed if he breaks into the barracks at night?
Although Ma Chong said that he was here to sell wild game and prey, Chen Feng did not dare to admit it.
Le Sheng also knew that general barracks would often collect some pickles, game, etc. from the surrounding people to improve their lives, but he was very unhappy when Chen Feng contradicted him before, so he did not want to make Chen Feng feel comfortable.
Anyway, Le Sheng won't stay in Chenjiaping for long. No matter how bad the stall is, it's none of his business.
Le Sheng also pretended to suspect that he was an enemy agent and asked Chen Feng to lead soldiers to patrol the surrounding area.
It’s just a toss-up anyway.
It's like the present moment.
Let new recruits like Chen Feng be the vanguard...
Does it make sense for recruits to serve as vanguards? If not, where can we find reason?
Behind Chen Feng and these somewhat scattered recruits were more than a thousand soldiers directly under Le Jin led by Le Sheng.
These soldiers who directly belong to Le Jin look more or less elite. They came here covered with dust and wind. They just rested for a while in the barracks for a night and set out again early in the morning. They also had no complaints and kept the team in order. They looked strong and strong.
appearance.
When Le Sheng came, he first dispersed so as not to attract attention, and then gathered at Chenjiaping. After all, if a team of a thousand people were sent out, it would attract some attention, but a small team of two or three hundred people would not be too conspicuous.
Secondly, choosing Chenjiaping as a resting place was also to avoid the sight of the Sima family that was inevitable in Wen County and prevent the news from leaking.
It's just a pity that after making these arrangements, they are still of no use.
The degree of collusion among local officials at the grassroots level is beyond Le Jin's imagination, and it is not something that a person like Le Sheng can think through.
Chen Feng led the way with a dark face, followed by Le Sheng leading the elite soldiers behind.
Although Chen Feng repeatedly postponed, and even resorted to the magic of excrement and urine, Le Sheng still refused to let him go, forcing Chen Feng to go with him.
Chen Feng doesn't want to ruin the incense relationship.
Le Sheng didn't care about this. He just wanted to complete the task. As for whether it would cause any subsequent problems, that was someone else's business and had nothing to do with him.
To deal with a fortress, sometimes a hundred people are too many, and sometimes five thousand people are considered too few.
Le Sheng's soldiers separated to the left and right, apparently keeping Chen Feng and others under guard. Chen Feng who was in the front wanted to do something, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sip his teeth and lead the new soldiers forward, thinking about this in his heart.
What exactly caused the Sima family to get into such big trouble?
As a veteran in Wen County, Chen Feng naturally had some contact with the Sima family on weekdays.
Living on the mountain and living on the water, Chen Feng has no ambitions, so he eats whatever he can. He doesn't think there is anything shabby. Otherwise, what can he do with his pitiful salary? If there is no extra income, what can he do on weekdays?
You can only eat glutinous rice bran, and you have to think twice about drinking some wine.
Moreover, Chen Feng also heard that there are several people in the Sima family who hold important positions in Guanzhong. If they make good friends, there may be opportunities in the future, right?
But now...
It's a bit troublesome, but there's no good solution.
Chen Feng had a headache, but he did not deliberately delay on the road. Instead, he chose the road that was most convenient for the army to move recently, and led Le Sheng and other elite direct soldiers to the Taihang River Valley, which is the direction of Sima Wubao.
.
Anyway, I sent someone to pass a message to Sima last night, which is a return of favor. As for how the Sima family will respond, it has nothing to do with Chen Feng.
Didn't Le Sheng slash Chen Feng's neck directly?
No one should be offended, and no one should be offended. This is Chen Feng's survival philosophy, which has allowed him to survive until now. How long he can survive in the future, Chen Feng doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know.
So, more than ten cavalrymen cleared the way, and there were scouts on the surrounding wings to maintain the formation. Nearly two thousand people rolled up the smoke and rushed directly to Simawu Fort!
Such a formation scared some small villages along the way to the point where they closed their doors and everyone cowered and did not dare to make any sound, as if they were afraid that some movement would attract this group of tigers and wolves to their homes.
Le Sheng was a little proud.
Because this is the effect he wants to achieve.
Fear is also a deterrent force and can also make people obey.
Hanoi County has actually become a "cash machine" since the Yuan Shao period. Neither Wang Kuang, the original governor of Hanoi, nor Le Jin today, actually wanted to bring stability, peace, and long-term development to the people of Hanoi.
.
In order to "make progress", Wang Kuang did not hesitate to kill his own relatives. Le Jin was not much better. As long as he could replenish the elite soldiers, any kind of ambitious, greedy and violent people would be included as long as they dared to fight in battle.
Moreover, the focus of the assessment is also on martial prowess. As for military discipline, it is much less important.
Because they could not pay the taxes and grain collected by Le Jin, the villages that were sacked by the soldiers were no longer one family or two families!
Several team members were crowding around Le Sheng, looking around at the scene in the Taihang Valley. Someone came close to Le Sheng and said with a smile: "Sima Jun, I heard that Sima has something at home... When the time comes, you might as well ask for more of that or something."
...Let the brothers have fun?"
Le Sheng said with a straight face: "General, let us intimidate you, not kill them all!"
"I understand this, I understand this very well! I didn't say we were going to kill them all!" The team was saying with a smile, "Why don't we touch the old ones anyway? As for the other... Army Sima, you see, if they "volunteer"
Donate something and we are too embarrassed to refuse!」
"Yes, yes, it's all "voluntary", we never have to force ourselves!" Others also laughed.
"Voluntary, voluntary!"
"Besides, I have a tender skin... Even though we are big bosses, we still have a compassionate heart... Hehehehe..."
"It's just that Lang Youqingmei volunteered... If you bring something like that, it doesn't count as a force..."
Le Sheng couldn't help but smile a little, "I know you bastards are full of tricks, so I'm sure, but we'll wait until we finish the business entrusted to us by the general!"
"That's right!" Duan Zheng slapped his thigh, "Who dares to neglect the general's business? Brothers must work harder! Brothers, right?"
"Oh ho ho ho..."
It was a scene of wolves crying and ghosts howling.
Not long after, a report came from the front, saying that they had arrived at Sima Wubao. However, the upper and lower gates of Wubao were closed tightly, and no one answered when they called the door!
"Pretending to be shy?" Le Sheng sneered a few times, then rode forward.
When we arrived at Wubao, it was indeed as reported by the soldiers. Not only was there no human figure on the wall of Wubao, there seemed to be no sound inside, not even smoke.
"Hmph, go up and call the door!" Le Sheng waved his hand, "If you don't answer the door, I'll break it open!"
What? Empty city plan?
The empty city strategy depends on the person you are dealing with...
For example, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, of course, neither of them used the empty city strategy in actual history. The earliest empty city strategy occurred during the Spring and Autumn Period, during the war between Zheng and Chu. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Jian and Zhao Yun used the empty city strategy.
, and Wang Ping, whose correct strategy was rejected by Ma Su.
But at the moment, Le Sheng is just a reckless man. This is an empty city plan. Let’s rush in and talk about it!
So, he smashed the door open with a rumble, and rushed in with a crash...
Inside the Wubao, things were scattered everywhere. The soldiers who rushed in were like flies that had smelled something. They started to get into chaos with a roar. Those who picked up things picked up things, and those who broke into the courtyard gate broke into the courtyard gate. Big
Some of the soldiers were occupied by the things in front of them, filling their entire heads. They did not consider why the Wubao was empty and uninhabited.
It was like a grand banquet, everyone was so happy, throwing themselves on the table to eat and take away.
"This is what I saw first!"
"Get out! I got this first!"
"Let go! Are you looking for death?!"
"You're the one who just let go! Wang Laosan! There's a damn guy here who's robbing us!" The weak soldier was about to shake him down.
"You idiot! There are more inside, why don't you fight like hell!" A distant voice came over, obviously not intending to come to help.
The two people who were fighting for each other looked at each other, snorted, and stopped fighting. The one who got the hand lowered his head and quickly collected it, while the one who let go hurriedly ran deeper...
A moment later, a louder noise suddenly began, and then spread to the entire Wubao in the blink of an eye!
"fire!"
"Fire!"
"Someone set a fire!"
"Ahhhh..."
On the mountain road, Sima Fang sat on a pair of poles, looking back.
Thick black smoke rose in the distance, rising into the sky.
Sima Fang sneered, and did not say anything that he would definitely come back. Instead, he continued to move forward silently. The fire could only block it for a while. These guys would catch up sooner or later, and before catching up, Sima Fang had to get to the stronghold.
