Sima Zhao was arrested, and the riots by the people on the banks of the Yellow River were finally alleviated after crackdowns and clean-ups. A total of 381 people from the Black Ice Xuanwu Hall, including Sima Zhao, and more than 100 senior members were captured.
, this was a huge blow to the Xuanwu Hall controlled by Sima Yi.
After receiving the news, Sima Yi was not sad, but angry, and shouted loudly: "Long Fei! You and I are irreconcilable!"
The armed forces formed by the Yuan and Liu families were to protect their current good life. Most of these people came from bandits in the nearby mountains and forests and some homeless people who could return to their families. It really takes some effort to command such an army.
Skill. Sima Yi walked among the mountain bosses, trying to balance their relationships and make the group feel at peace.
Jiang Gui, the deputy commander-in-chief and the hussar general appointed by Sima Yi, was originally just an ordinary farmer. Because he did not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, he broke open the government's granary in a rage, took away the rice inside, and took more than a dozen people from the same village with him.
Two brothers went to the mountains to fall into the grass. Jiang Gui was bold, not afraid of death, and had practiced the Kung Fu of the three-legged cat several times. Wei was in a fierce battle with Long Fei and was unable to suppress the bandits.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Gui did several major events and obtained a lot of food and grass. He then began to recruit troops and horses, waiting for opportunities to annex the small groups of bandits around him. In just six months, Jiang Gui had become a well-known bandit leader, with dozens of bandits under his command.
Thousands of people were active around Xindu, specializing in robbing traders and dignitaries who had escaped from Yecheng.
Sima Yi personally went up to the mountain, and on the pretext of inducement and promise, he made Jiang Gui a hussar general, and then brought Jiang Gui's troops down the mountain. The troops formed with the homeless people led by Le Jin became Sima Yi's right-hand man. On the surface, it seemed that
, these three people share the same hatred and want to look good to Long Jun. In fact, the three of them have their own ideas. Sima Yi hopes to gain a foothold in Hebei. Le Jin hopes to have soldiers and horses to become a hero in the founding of the country after Sima Yi succeeds. Jiang Gui
His thoughts were different from those of them. He had no worries about food and clothing, and no lofty burdens. He just hoped that he would not die in the hands of others. Because one of the keys to Sima Yi's persuasion to Jiang Gui was that Long Fei had always killed all the bandits. General
Then believe it to be true.
This time, Sima Zhao's plan to rebel against millions of people was unsuccessful, which cast a shadow on the good situation. Sima Yi gritted his teeth and Le Jin said: "The general should send people to the Long Army camp immediately. Long Fei is ruthless, and the eldest son is defeated by them.
If you break your leg, the second young master will be in danger!"
Jiang Guidao: "A man is a man who would rather die than be a prisoner. Now that we are captured, if we send people now, we will lose our spirit. The general must think about something. If Long Fei uses the second young master to blackmail us, what should we do?"
manage?"
"Huh!" Sima Yi snorted coldly: "Isn't it just a son? There are nine sons in the Sima family, let's see if Long Fei can catch them all!" Sima Fu on the side shook his head and sighed, which reminded him of several of his brothers.
.Back then, he was known as Sima Bada, but Long Fei killed five of them in one battle. Sima Yi did have nine sons, but not all of them were like this Sima Zhao.
The Sima family has always been prolific, with eight brothers Sima Yi and nine brothers Sima Zhao. Each of them has a character named Zi, so they are called the nine sons of Sima. The eldest son Sima Shi, named Ziyuan, was captured alive by Long Fei.
Dian Wei stepped on his leg and broke his leg and became a cripple. The second son Sima Zhao, also named Zishang, is now imprisoned in Guandu, and his life and death are uncertain. The third son Sima Qian, named Ziliang, and the fourth son Sima Liang, named Ziyi, are here.
The fifth son, Sima Shen, was named Zijiang, and the sixth son, Ma Jing, was named Zizuo. They served as captains under Sima Yi. The seventh son, Sima Jun, was named Zizang, and the eighth son, Sima Tong, was named Zihui. They were still young, but they were also called
Sima Yi took him with him. The youngest son Sima Lun, named Zishun, was not yet an adult and stayed in his hometown to be taken care of by his wife Zhang Chunhua.
When several younger brothers heard that their second brother had been captured by Long Fei, they all clamored for revenge and rushed into Guandu to rescue their second brother. Seeing how brave his sons were, Sima Yi was delighted. So the old guy was confident that he had so many sons.
The incense of the Sima family cannot be cut off even if one or two are sacrificed.
When Sima Yi spoke like this, others could not say much. This must be a family matter of the Sima family, and it is not good for him to get involved. Le Jin asked: "General, what should we do next? The Dragon Army has already set up its formation, we are
To challenge or not to challenge?”
"Of course he accepted the challenge!" Sima Yi said: "Long Fei's five-pronged army immediately shrank into three after entering Yecheng, just because he was afraid that we would defeat them all. Since he is afraid, I must fight. Since I want to fight, I must fight the last.
Hard to beat!"
Everyone listened quietly. Sima Yi gave them an analysis: "Pingyuan Wenpin has been on the battlefield for a long time. He resisted Cao Cao's army of 100,000 in Wancheng for many years without moving. This man is good at defense and now has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.
Don’t attack by force!”
Everyone was silent, and Sima Yi continued: "General Xu Huang, who fought all the way from Xiangyang and captured Yuzhou and other important towns, must be a master, and he can't move. Only this man Huang Zhong is old and frail, and is the closest to us. Let's capture him first and then deal with him."
It’s not too late for others!”
"Second brother, wait!" Sima Fu stood up as soon as he heard that he was about to sell. "This is just the enemy in front of us. The second brother behind us has not yet been counted! Zhao Yun is attacking Changshan, and Gan Ning's navy is still attacking Fan Yang. Look at the posture.
To cut off our retreat, we must be on guard!"
"Third uncle, you are worrying too much!" Sima Liang said: "Our army's morale is at its peak, and the Dragon Army has been equipped with soldiers for a long time. We took this opportunity to capture Huang Zhong in one go, forcing Ling Fei to escape. Let's ride down quickly.
Having captured Xiangyang, what are you afraid of Zhao Yun and Gan Ning behind you? As long as my army reaches Xiangyang City, these people will retreat without a fight."
"Yes! The fourth child is right!" Sima Qian stood up and said: "My child is willing to be a pioneer. As long as his father gives the order, he will definitely go to Xiangyang to avenge his uncles."
"My child is willing to go! My child is willing to go!" Sima Shen and Sima Jing did not show any weakness and rushed to the battlefield one after another.
Sima Yi was very pleased. Although his sons were not as strong in martial arts as the eldest brother, Sima Shi, and not as calm, experienced and thoughtful as the second son, Sima Zhao, they were all the best among their peers. The children were brave, but the father was not.
Watching them die, he never thought about entering Xiangyang, let alone these children. He knew Long Fei's strength, and it was unlikely that he could win.
"My sons are all very brave, and my father is very pleased!" Sima Yi looked at his sons: "However, now is not the best time to send troops. Our army is small in number, and it may be difficult to win if we launch a full-scale attack. My father has made a clever plan.
Let’s destroy Huang Zhong’s troops first!”
Huang Zhong was ordered to garrison the Wei army for many days, but Sima Yi did not make any move, so he advanced towards Guangping. However, Sima Yi saw the arrival of Long's army and still stood still. Huang Zhong once again drove his troops to Guangzong, which was already the outskirts of Xindu, and with Qinghe.
Xu Huang and Bohai's Wenpin formed a three-sided siege posture. However, Sima Yi did not move at all and remained huddled in Xindu City.
As the leading general, Huang Zhong was a little confused. What did Sima Yi want to do? He knew that his army had arrived, but he didn't come or retreat. Huang Xu suggested leading his troops to attack and see what happened to Sima Yi. However, before they could move out,
, Sima Yi came first. This time it was Sima Yi's third son, Sima Qian. Sima Qian was young and energetic, and he ignored the veteran Huang Zhong.
Although the sudden arrival of the Hebei Army was a bit unexpected, Huang Zhong decided to accept the challenge. The two armies set up a battle formation outside Guangzong City. Sima Qian pointed a finger at Huang Zhong in an arrogant manner and said, "Old man, why don't you die quickly?
He went into battle at such a young age, it seems Long Fei has no one left!"
Huang Xu was furious and was about to rush out, but Huang Zhong held him back. Sima Gan cursed for a long time, but the dragon army on Huang Zhong's side remained motionless and showed no intention of attacking. Sima Gan's mission here was to lure Huang Zhong.
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong would not move. Sima Qian had no choice but to use his troops to cover up the killing. Huang Zhong gave an order and the Shenjian Camp fired thousands of arrows. The Hebei Army could not resist it at all, leaving hundreds of corpses and running away with their heads covered.
For several days in a row, Sima Yi's side was constantly being reinforced, and they were still provoking Huang Zhong at the gate of Guangzong. Sima Qian, Sima Liang, Sima Shen, and Shi Ma Jing took turns to fight. Each time, they were defeated by Huang Zhong's Shenjian battalion.
Society went away. However, the Hebei Army had no intention of attacking Guangzong, and they did not pursue Huang Zhong when he retreated. They just threw hundreds of corpses to Huang Zhong every day.
Returning to Guangzong, Huang Xu was a little angry and asked: "Father, why don't you kill them? These boys from the Sima family should all be killed!"
Huang Zhong smiled: "As my father, I have been following Your Majesty for many years. I can clearly see what it means to lure the enemy. These boys from the Sima family just shout and their soldiers are unsightly. They are clearly luring the enemy. In this case, why should I be fooled!"
"
Huang Xu was still uncomfortable. His father had been scolded for so many days, so he finally found an opportunity to vent his anger. That night, Huang Xu entangled more than a dozen of his cronies, and several of them secretly opened the city gate and escaped. The Hebei Army's camp was
Thirty miles outside Guangzong. Since Sima Qian came to scold the formation that day, Hebei troops have been coming for reinforcements. Now there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses gathered here, and almost all of the huge hillside is occupied by them.
Huang Xu looked up and saw that the camp on the mountain was built to a certain level. It was divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. There was a lookout post at the top, so you could keep an eye on the enemy's situation at any time. In the middle was the commander's camp. Huang Xu waved his hand, and the ten people dispersed.
Everywhere, the firewood brought from behind was opened according to different directions, and the flint collided, sparks popped out. The firewood was soaked in kerosene, and when it encountered sparks, it burned instantly.
When the observation post on the mountain saw it, it immediately sounded the gong to warn the soldiers. The soldiers rushed out of the camp. The fire began to spread in all directions and had surrounded the entire camp. The four Sima brothers were drunk and could not wake up. When the fire had burned to the camp at the foot of the mountain,
At that moment, someone poured a basin of cold water on him, and Sima Gan woke up with a cold shiver. The soldiers were already in chaos. These untrained soldiers had no idea what to do.
Huang Xu could see clearly that the largest tent on the mountainside was the Hebei Army's central tent.
