Sima Yi's defense is quite good. There are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry along the Yellow River. At night, there is a long dragon on the bank. There are torches and sentries everywhere. It is really not easy to cross. Although Wei Jun
They were all listless, but they were superior in numbers. A team of a thousand people was not a small number. Who knew that one casual movement would alarm the Wei army.
Huang Xu advocated a forceful invasion. Lu Xun and Du Yu unanimously opposed it. The shore was still far away from Muye. Let alone alarming the Wei army, it was still possible for them to pass. Even if they did, they would probably have an iron wall when they reached Muye.
, it is even more difficult to attack. Therefore, we must not arouse the vigilance of the Wei army on the bank of the Yellow River, or at least keep the vigilance of the Wei army to a minimum.
Du Yu said: "I think we can have a Li Dai Tao Zang!"
"What do you mean?" Huang Xu didn't react. Lu Xun understood it as soon as he heard it: "This is not bad. It will not alert the Wei army, but it can also leave a way for us to retreat. It is indeed a good strategy!"
Du Yu briefly explained his plan to the two of them. Huang Xu was not an idiot, so he naturally understood what he heard and volunteered to take people there. Lu Xun and Du Yu took a look and found that both of them were not as good as Huang Xu in terms of age or martial arts.
, and only Huang Xu was the most reliable. Without saying a word, he found a place opposite a reed swamp. Huang Xu led fifty soldiers and sailed over quietly.
The lights on the opposite side were very bright. In order not to alert the patrolling soldiers, they did not use oars and only rowed the boat little by little with their hands. Fortunately, the river here was not very fast. They watched Huang Xu and others get into the reed marsh.
Lu Xun and Du Yu finally felt relieved. Lying on the ground and watching what was happening on the other side of the river, this was all they could do now.
Suddenly, a black figure emerged from the river. The Wei troops on the case gathered in groups of three or three and dozed around the fire back to back. They had no intention of fighting. If Long Fei's army suddenly crossed the river, surrender would be the only option.
way out. Now they don't dare. The bright swords in the hands of the supervising team behind them scare them. Most of the Wei army's soldiers can be said to be waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
The soldier on the outside suddenly felt that he was being pushed to the ground. He wanted to open his mouth to curse, but found a big hand covering his mouth. His horrified eyes looked at the wet body holding him. The one in his mouth
Before he even hummed the word "surrender", a sharp broken knife cut his neck. Following the same pattern, there were less than twenty people in the small sentry post. In order not to attract the attention of nearby sentry posts, Huang Xu specially set out
Two groups of people will monitor and if any abnormalities are found, they will be resolved together.
The night was still like that. A dozen cold corpses were stuffed into the reed swamp. The bright red blood was filtered through the reed swamp, and only a faint white color was left. Looking at the dozen in front of me wearing the clothes of the Wei army
Lu Xun patted the soldiers in military uniforms on their shoulders: "Whether we can go back or not depends on our brothers. This is our retreat. If we guard this place, we can go home safely!"
There were no loud guarantees or exaggerated actions. There were only firm eyes, which made people feel reassured. If this place was lost, it meant that all of the dozen people must have been killed. However, Lu Xun and Huang Xu believed that they could make the ten people safe.
Several members of the Wei army were killed collectively without saying a word. To kill them, the price would have to be paid at least ten times or even a hundred times.
With this as their base, the army crossed the river and continued to penetrate deeper. According to the information Xu Shu sent them, in the dark night, with the guide Du Yu leading the way, the group of people had already circled around among millions of Wei troops, and the Wei army
He seemed to be unaware of it. Waiting until ten minutes after dawn, the team of thousands of people began to rest in a small forest.
This place is the outskirts of Makino. If you go to the top of the slope, you can vaguely see the city wall of Makino. We have arranged open and hidden sentries, and sent people to guard within five miles of the surrounding area. If you go deep alone, you must be careful. If you wait until the enemy is in front of you,
It was too late to think of a solution. This was the first lesson Long Fei taught these young generals in the military academy.
While munching dry food, he looked at the map. The red circle on the map is where Makino is. This map is different from the maps Du Yu has seen before. Circles of contour lines and intricately intersecting curved lines.
The whole map formed the corners of Makino. Seeing Du Yu frown, Lu Xun chuckled and moved the map towards him: "This is a map designed by His Majesty. Look, these are called contour lines. This circle of lines
Just say that they are at about the same height, the blue one is the waterway, the red official road, the black one is the narrow path, and the jagged circle is the Makino city wall."
After Lu Xun's guidance, Du Yu looked at it again this time and immediately understood the beauty of this map. Compared with previous maps, this map showed more clearly the location including mountains, rivers, and even any road.
An inconspicuous piece of dirt. The map I had seen before was too vague and only had a general outline. It was very easy to go astray when marching. From the map, it can be seen that Long Fei is definitely a genius in warfare.
Huang Xu arranged the soldiers, then came back and took out a piece of dry food and started to chew it. Seeing the two of them looking at the map attentively, he asked: "How is it? Did you see where Yu Jin hid the food?"
Lu Xun shook his head: "I don't know! This Makino City is neither tall nor big. If you store grain and grass in the city, you can tell by looking at the tall grain stacks, but I think Yu Jin will never be so stupid!"
"Yu Jin is a veteran of the Wei State. I want to stop you this time!" Du Yu realized that he was wrong and quickly changed his words: "He blocked us because he did not argue with Sima Yi. He is willing to be a food protector for Sima Yi. Yu Jin is no better than others.
General, he has been fighting for many years and is very resourceful!"
"No matter how powerful you are, you are still old. If we meet each other, you can just chop it off with a knife!" Huang Xu leaned under the tree, drank some water and closed his eyes to rest: "I will do the fighting, and you will do the thinking. There is a clear division of labor.
, I’m sleeping now, call me when it gets dark!”
Huang Xu is the eldest brother of this group of young generals. If it weren't for Long Fei and Hua Tuo, Huang Xu would probably be useless. Because of this, Huang and his son are grateful and loyal to Long Fei, and are willing to risk their last drop of blood for Long Fei.
What's more, Long Fei also talked about the marriage between the Huang family and the Zhao family, and handed over Zhao Yun's eldest daughter to Huang Xu. It can be said that the Huang family is also a family with the Long family.
Lu Xun's vision was not limited to Makino City. Suddenly his eyes lit up. There was a place five miles away from Makino Chengdong. There were densely packed contour lines, and each one was very close to the next. This meant that the mountains and roads here were high and dangerous.
.And it is located in a valley, with a small river passing by and mountains behind it. It is a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Duotou Cliff!" Lu Xun and Du Yu mentioned this place at the same time. When they looked at it again, they both smiled slightly. Lu Xun said: "It seems that it is not wrong. I will send everyone out to investigate right now!"
Sure enough, a convoy transporting grain was found at Guantou Cliff, three miles east of Makino. There were many people coming and going. Going further in, as soon as they arrived at the mouth of the valley, they saw a Wei army checkpoint. There were no high flags and no drums.
The shouts were noisy. The soldiers all silently went about their work. In order to prevent others from exploring the situation inside the tunnel, Yu Jin even specially arranged for people to deal with the ruts left by the grain transport trucks. If he hadn't happened to catch up with a group of soldiers transporting grain,
When they came out, the spies were not sure that the food and grass were here.
It is really exciting to get such a report. Now that we know where the grain and grass are, the next step is to set a fire. Yu Jin put the grain and grass into the valley, which is not a good place to set a fire. Huang Xu, Lu Xun, and Du Yu all thought so,
But the secret was broken by the scout's words.
The scouts became more and more excited as they listened to the conversation, so they had to remind them: "Generals, according to the young men who went up the mountain to inquire, Yu Jin has ordered his soldiers to cut down all the trees in the valley, and even the grass has been cut clean. Now
There is nothing in Guantou Cliff. In addition, Yu Jin also built a large camp on the mountains on both sides to prevent us from going down the mountain."
"Damn! This is too cunning!" Huang Xu punched the tree, and several birds resting on it quickly flew up.
Lu Xun looked up and said, "Brother, do you know that doing this may lead Wei Jun to discover us? Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"
The three of them pondered for a long time, but none of them seemed to have a good idea. This time, it seemed that Yu Jin was very tightly guarded. They must have guessed that someone would come to rob the food and specially arranged it. Looking at the location of Duotou Cliff on the map, the three of them were all
He stopped talking. After a long time, Lu Xun asked Du Yu: "Yuan Kai has been in Wei camp for many years. Have you ever heard that Yu Jin has any special habits or personality problems?"
Du Yu nodded slightly. This Lu Xun was really not simple. He actually had to analyze a person's characteristics and come up with a way to defeat him. Du Yu thought for a while: "If we talk about Yu Jin's characteristics, he is bold, careful, and can endure.
Stay calm when things happen! The only weakness may be..."
"What is it?" Lu Xun couldn't wait.
Du Yu said: "I once heard that Yu Jin punished himself with thirty military sticks for the soldiers who made mistakes! This man was strict in governing the army, and the soldiers respected him. He beat and scolded his soldiers, and sometimes he would fight with them for trivial matters.
Army stick, that self-punishment was because his bodyguard made a mistake, and the general must bear the blame. This person is like this to himself, let alone others!"
"Oh?" Lu Xun thought for a while: "So Yu Jin's soldiers are suffering terribly?"
Du Yu shook his head: "I am young and have no chance to work with a veteran like Yu Jin. Besides, I am Sima Yi's son-in-law, and Yu Jin will not get close to me. I only heard about this."
Huang Xu stood up loudly: "Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you try it! If it doesn't work, then we can only attack fiercely. It can still be done by using the bodyguards to rush into the valley and set fire to it!"
Lu Xun shook his head: "The bodyguards are your majesty's bodyguards. If you sacrifice your former bodyguards for this little food and grass, how will you and I explain to your majesty when we go back? Don't worry, your majesty said that the three departments will act together. It's still early for us to attack."
, Let’s go to Guigou Cliff tonight and then talk about it.”
