Xia Houba set up a camp on Yuezhi City, while Feng Junhou set up a false camp below the city.
Xiahou Ba thought he had frightened Xiao Wenhe, but he didn't know that Xiao Wenhe was the one who should cooperate with you in the performance. He did not turn a blind eye, but applauded vigorously.
He even secretly took people hunting behind the camp every day and enjoyed it.
Zhao Guang couldn't stand still, staring at the city head every day, but his brother wouldn't let him move.
In the end, I had to personally take people behind the city to check on the enemy's situation every day.
When he learned that the Wei army from Linjing had marched out to Yuezhi City, he immediately ran back excitedly and found Feng Yong who was practicing archery with a yellow sheep.
Nocking an arrow, hooking the string, drawing the bow, aiming...
Feng Junhou even wore a jade ring on his thumb, which looked pretty.
It's just that the arrows shot are too fluttery, and the upper and lower limits of their lethality are unknown.
Of course, the greater possibility is zero.
Feng Junhou sighed and waved his hand.
The personal guard untied the yellow sheep tied to the tree and carried it aside, preparing to send it to Han Da Assassin, so that he could also serve as the butcher.
"Calculating the day, it should be here."
Feng Yong threw the arrow to Zhao Guang and turned back to the camp, "I just don't know, how is the situation over there with Sanniang?"
"My brother is well-strategized and my sister is brave and good at fighting. I think I will be able to defeat Cao's thieves."
Zhao Guang said quickly.
Feng Yong glanced at him sideways: You're such a flattery, you always sound a little weird.
"Brother, Thief Cao has been attracted now, what should we do now?"
Zhao Guang asked, rubbing his hands and arms.
"Let's wait and see."
Feng Yong replied, "Let's see how Cao's army reacts when it arrives."
"Ah? Do you still have to wait?"
Zhao Guang suddenly looked disappointed.
"What else can you do if you don't wait? Can you defeat Cao Cao's thieves with just these cavalry in your hands?"
Feng Yong glared at him.
These days, communications are really far behind.
Responses and decisions to various situations can only rely on integration and inference from extremely limited fragmented information.
Why are counselors and famous generals so important?
Because this kind of game can only be played by people with high IQs.
The vast majority of people can only be caught blind.
"If only there was a telephone... no, just a transmitter would be enough."
Feng Yongyong couldn't help but said with nostalgia.
"Brother, what did you just say?"
Zhao Guang didn't understand this term at all.
Feng Yong waved his hand, too lazy to answer him, and then began to fall into deep thought.
If you want to make a telegraph receiver and transmitter, you need to have a special password and a generator.
There is no problem with a dedicated password. After all, in the past, a group of wretched men posted some website in the group. In order to avoid being hit by dimensionality reduction, they often used Morse code.
But if you want to make a generator, you must first find a magnet.
You should be able to find natural magnets or lodestones, and build an artificial generator to make do.
After all, when I was marching in the desert, in order to experience the extreme environment, I used an artificial generator.
As a member of the Third Team, if you don't even know how to fix a wired phone, then just get out of the Third Team.
One hand is shaking the generator, the other is pressing the switch, and there is a phone between one shoulder and the head. Which person in the third team has not done this?
But this transmitter and receiver...
Damn it, the key is that I wasn’t in the wireless team back then!
Forget it, let’s convey the message on horseback!
When I have time in the future, I might try wired ones and make them for my daughter to play with.
There is no other way to rely on information integration for dimensionality reduction, we have to play with high IQ.
So Feng Junhou pondered again: It seems that all the stable Wei troops have been attracted here, and there should be no big problem on Sanniang's side.
As long as Jingyang is defeated, the Wei army from Chang'an can be mobilized to go north, and the task of protecting the Qiang captain's mansion will be completed.
Xiahou Ba at the head of Yuezhi City saw the army continuously marching into the city. He also felt that his task of guarding Yuezhi City was completed.
"General Xiahou first saw through Feng Thief's plan to divide his troops, and then used the plan to scare Feng Thief's army. He is indeed the queen of General Zhengxi!"
Hu Zun stood next to Xiahou Ba and said with a smile.
Xia Houba said modestly: "Thief Feng is cunning, I was just lucky enough to see through it."
Even though he said this, he couldn't hide the complacent look on his face.
Fortunately, I was nervous for a while when I heard that Thief Feng was leading the troops here in person, but I didn't expect that he was just in vain.
"General, why do you need to be so modest? Do you think that the Shu captives, who live in the western border area and have little knowledge, know the heroes of the world? It seems that they only have a little plan, so they dare to call themselves Jia Wenhe. It is really ridiculous!"
"General Hu's words do have some truth to them."
After saying this, the two of them burst into laughter, feeling contempt for Thief Feng in their hearts:
"Then Thief Feng saw the suspicious soldiers at the top of the city and didn't dare to enter lightly. In the past few days, he just took the time to cut wood to make siege equipment. I wonder what he was thinking when he knew that he missed the opportunity to attack the city?"
"I must have regretted it so much that I no longer have the courage to call myself Xiao Wenhe."
"Haha... Let's see how he regrets it tomorrow!"
Xiahou Ba couldn't wait to issue a letter of war to the Han army outside the city.
When he received the letter of challenge from Wei Jun, Zhao Guang also looked excited:
"It seems like this thief Cao doesn't know how to write the word "death"! Brother, what should we do this time?"
"It seems they are in a hurry." Feng Yong squinted his eyes, still in the mood to figure out and study the meaning of each word written above.
After reading it, he chuckled lightly and threw away the challenge:
"Then Hu Zun came all the way here in a hurry. He couldn't even wait for a day's rest before he wanted to fight with our army."
He touched his chin and said, "Erlang, go and have someone make a sign. Make it bigger so that the other side can see it clearly. Write the words 'War Free Sign' on it and hang it at the entrance of the camp."
"Free battle card?"
Zhao Guang looked shocked, what is this?
"That's the literal meaning. Just do it and ask someone to send a reply to the other party, saying that I'm not in a good mood tomorrow, so I won't fight for now and will fight again the next day."
Feng Yong waved his hand and didn't explain much, "Also, let's go down immediately and let everyone pack their bags. We will evacuate at dawn tomorrow."
"Ah! Why?" Zhao Guang couldn't keep up with his brother's thinking, "Isn't it the promised future..."
"A soldier never tires of deceit, don't you understand?"
"But brother, we worked so hard to get to Yuezhi City, set up a stronghold for a few days, and then evacuated?"
Zhao Guang looked reluctant.
"If we don't withdraw, will we still fight with them?"
Feng Yong looked at him angrily, "There is Cao Cao's army on the opposite side. With the thousands of cavalry at your disposal, why do you still want to charge into the formation?"
"Isn't there still a volunteer army?"
Zhao Guang muttered.
"Ha!" Feng Yong sneered, "Yi Congjun? If it's a smooth battle, that's fine."
"Don't talk about those who are facing each other head-on. Even if they can't stop fighting, I don't dare to let them follow behind."
During the Liangzhou Rebellion, if Huang Zhongyi had not joined the army and rebelled against the enemy, how could the rebellion have escalated all of a sudden?
If we say that the prestige of the Later Han Dynasty had declined at that time, but as far as Feng Yong knew, the Tang Dynasty, which was also called the Great Han Dynasty, also had a Talas War.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, and its prestige in the Western Regions had reached its peak.
However, the Hu army as a servant army dared to suddenly rebel, resulting in the loss of all the elite expeditionary forces of the Anxi Protectorate.
What's more, the current Protector Qiang Colonel's Mansion is far from being comparable to the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion.
The Wei State has been operating in Yongliang Prefecture for so long, but it’s not like they did nothing.
It can be seen that when the overall situation in Longyou was decided, there were still Hu tribes who were willing to come out to cause chaos and support Wei.
To put it bluntly, Feng would not completely believe any barbarian who had not passed the examination and officially joined the combat order of the Qiang School Lieutenant Mansion.
Even if you are a volunteer in the army.
When Zhao Guang heard that his brother was talking about this, he didn't dare to talk back anymore, and immediately turned around and went out to make arrangements.
After following his brother for these years, the most important thing is that after losing the General, he deeply understood one truth:
The elder brother is always right, but if you think there is something wrong with your elder brother, you must be wrong.
This time I returned to my brother's command, and my lord also said:
As for Mr. Feng, apart from his incompetence in arranging troops in battle, he is also a top-notch person, not only in managing the army and the generals, but also in managing the people and the country.
If you follow him now, remember to read more, think more, and ask more questions. If you can learn a few of his skills, you will be able to truly lead an army on your own.
No, at least I learned what the "war-free card" is.
Zhao Guang comforted himself.
"I once heard that Thief Feng behaved erratically and was known as Feng's lunatic. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."
When Xiahou Ba and Hu Zun received the reply from the Shu captives, they couldn't help but laugh at Feng Yong.
A bad mood can also be used as a reason to avoid fighting, which is really laughable.
"I'm afraid that this person was caught off guard when he saw General Hu leading the army, so he could only use this to cover up his incompetence."
"He was confused by General Xiahou. In the past few days, he has only been cutting down trees to make siege equipment. He is afraid that he is not prepared for a battle on the battlefield. Should we attack his camp directly tomorrow?"
After hearing Hu Zunzhi's words, Xiahou Ba's heart moved. He thought for a while, but then shook his head:
"No, the army is coming in a hurry. I think the soldiers are a little tired. It's a good time to take a day's rest to recuperate and defeat the thieves one day."
"Kuang Fu, the bandits have been setting up the camp for several days, and the camp is already complete. Attacking them now will only increase the casualties of the soldiers."
Hu Zun thought about it and felt it made sense, so he nodded and said:
"Forget it, let's let Thief Feng live in peace for one more day."
Immediately, the two men sent an order to kill the cattle and sheep, reward the soldiers, and rest for a day, waiting for the day to defeat the thief.
When the military order was spread throughout the city, the whole Wei army was filled with shouts and morale was greatly boosted.
It was only until early morning on the third day that Xiahou Ba and Hu Zun organized their troops out of the city to form an array. At the same time, they sent people to shout a challenge in front of the Han army's camp.
After a while, the rumble of drums could be heard in the Han army camp. It seemed that they were gathering troops to meet the enemy.
Hearing the sound of the drums, Hu Zun couldn't help but laugh again:
"Before we arrived at the stronghold, Thief Feng had just beaten the drum. It seemed that he was really distracted."
Although Xiahou Ba thought he had defeated Feng Yong, he became cautious before going into battle. He shook his head:
"Thief Feng was able to stop General Zhang He at the street pavilion back then. Even if he relied on luck and bullied General Zhang He into climbing over the mountain, and the military teacher was tired, he should still have some ability."
"I'm afraid that he is trying to buy time at this time and vent the morale of our army, so it's better to be careful."
As if to verify Xiahou Ba's words, the drums kept beating in the Shu camp opposite, but the camp gate was never opened, and no thieves came out to form an array.
Xiahou Ba couldn't hold himself back and came to the battle in person to watch.
When he saw the war-free sign hanging on the gate of Shulu Village from a distance, he frowned.
In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with Feng Thief, who was acting against common sense.
However, the layout of the camp opposite seemed to be quite solid, so he had to be extra cautious: this Feng thief seemed to be really capable.
Just listening to the loud beating of drums inside, Xiahou Ba always felt that something was wrong.
He walked back and forth a few times at the entrance of the camp, and suddenly he got excited and shouted involuntarily: "No!"
After shouting this, Xiahou Ba turned around and ran towards the Wei army's camp.
Hu Zun saw Xiahou Ba running back with a changed expression. Before he could speak, Xiahou Ba said hurriedly:
"Attack the camp, let people attack the camp immediately!"
"Attack the camp?"
Hu Zun didn't react for a while.
"The Shu captives have escaped! Feng Thief is really cunning!"
Xiahou Ba finally couldn't help but yelled, "Traitor!"
"Run away?!" Hu Zun pointed to the opposite side in disbelief, "Then this drum sound..."
"Suspected soldiers! They must be suspected soldiers!"
Xiahou Ba gritted his teeth and said, "When I arrived in front of his stronghold, I only heard the sound of drums but no shouts, so they must not be gathering troops!"
"When General Feng heard that General Feng was leading his army, he must have fled in fear. At this time, the stronghold there is probably already an empty one!"
What is a bad mood, we will fight another day, it’s fake, it’s all fake!
Thief Feng was basically using delaying tactics to gain one day of escape time.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Ba couldn't help but cursed: "You are as timid as a rat!"
Hu Zun was not in the mood to curse here, so he had already hurriedly sent orders and sent out forwards to test and attack the camp.
Until the Wei army attacked the gate of the village, the thieves on the wall still hadn't fired an arrow.
After removing the battle-free sign and taking a ladder to climb up the wall, I realized that they were all straw men!
Wei Jun opened the gate of the village from the inside, and the army from outside rushed in. They searched inside and outside, but there was no one there.
When others withdraw their troops, they still leave a few old, weak, sick and disabled to guard the gate, but he actually doesn't even keep any human beings, only their hair.
There are still a dozen sheep left behind, hanging upside down in the air. The sheep's hind legs are constantly kicking and beating on the military drum: dong dong dong...
When Xiahou Ba saw this scene, his face turned red with anger and his body began to tremble:
"Thief Feng... Thief Feng is extremely cunning!"
I thought I had deceived the other party with a straw man, but I didn't know that the other party's backhand was to cheat him.
This is not the most important thing. What is more important is that there is no completed siege equipment in this camp.
In the past few days, I have seen that the wood cut down by thieves is all piled up and neatly arranged. Is there any trace of processing?
What does this mean?
It shows that the other party has no intention of attacking the city!
In the past few days, I thought I was scaring the other party, but I didn't expect that the other party was also scaring me.
so……
Xiahou Ba thought of a possibility that would make him feel cold when the sun was high.
