Chapter five hundred and eighty second Sima Yi's loss
Because they had stayed at the Guandu battlefield for a long time before, the generals headed by Zhao Yun had a very smooth return this time. Because they were already familiar with the journey, there was basically no obstacle to their quick return.
Then the next step is to rob Li Jue and Guo Si's horses in the shortest possible time.
Zhao Yun sent many scouts to inquire about the situation of Li Jue and Guo Si in Zhongmu County.
After all, Li Jue and Guo Bin were Xiliang troops. They burned, killed, and looted in the Guanzhong area, and committed all kinds of evil. Even now that they have surrendered to Cao Cao's command, they are not trusted, and the county seat is where the nobles and common people live.
How can we allow these northwest wolves to walk in and out at will?
Therefore, although there was food and grass for Li Jue and Guo Si in the county, Cao Cao's strict order still kept them away from the city and the village.
But it is obvious that Li Jue and Guo Si were somewhat resistant to Cao Cao's order.
After the Xiliang army arrived in Zhongmou County, they began to level the land and repair the camp on the outskirts of the city.
This is completely a form of bullying, unabashed bullying.
The magistrate of Zhongmu County, with a dark face, sent out the grain and fodder for the troops of Li Jue and Guo Si. Then he patiently reasoned with them and asked them to place their camp farther away from the county seat.
But Li Jue and Guo Si didn't urinate on him at all.
He's just a stinky county magistrate, but he still dares to impose conditions on us in a show of force?
How would two people who are murderous and cruel by nature take the words of a county magistrate seriously?
If it weren't for Cao Cao's strict order not to allow them to enter the city, let alone building the camp outside the city gate, they would have built the camp directly in the face of the county magistrate!
Li Jue and Guo Si were in Bingzhou this time. In addition to harassing Hanoi County, Taiyuan County and other places, and disrupting Yuan Shao's rear area, they also hijacked many cattle and sheep from the herdsmen in Bingzhou.
Don't forget to rob when fighting a war. It can be said that the two thieves have not changed their bad habits and are no longer like anyone else.
More outrageous things are yet to come.
After getting the food for the army and horses, Li Jue and Guo Si immediately ordered people to drive the cattle and sheep that had been robbed in Bingzhou to the city, slaughter them all, and then use the water of the moat to clean the flesh and blood.
Suddenly, there was a bloody storm outside the city, and the moat was filled with the smell of cattle and sheep.
Many people who wanted to leave the city were so frightened that they ran back to the city when they saw this posture.
The county magistrate originally wanted Li Jue and Guo Si to move, but instead of moving, they went even harder and built a slaughterhouse under the city!
Is this the rhythm of living outside other people’s homes?
Although the county magistrate was very angry, he had no choice. He did not have the ability and strength to offend the two murderous demon kings Li Jue and Guo Si, so he could only break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.
The county magistrate had no choice but to order the soldiers in the city to close the city gate, and then placed more defenders on the city wall to carefully watch the actions of these Xiliang mad dogs.
Li Jue and Guo Si were very satisfied with this situation, and they couldn't help laughing proudly.
What they did today was just their bad taste and had no real purpose. They just wanted others to be afraid of them.
Obviously, their goal has been achieved now.
Later, Li Jue and Guo Bang ordered their soldiers to set up countless huge bonfires under the city, wash the slaughtered cattle and sheep with the water of the moat, and then barbecue them under the city.
They are going to reward the three armies tonight.
When the Xiliang soldiers were washing the bloody beef and mutton in the moat, Li Jue looked at the county soldiers on the city wall who were staring at them nervously, and asked Guo Si proudly: "Aduo, you said those county soldiers saw us here?"
They wash and barbecue meat under the city, how do you feel now?"
Guo Bang said proudly: "I'm afraid you were so scared that you peed your pants? Haha, these county soldiers have been guarding this small city all day long. I'm afraid they have never seen anything like this in the world, such a mass slaughter of cattle and sheep.
How often have they seen such a scene? It scared them to death."
Li Jue laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "That's right! I'm both scared and frightened, and maybe even envious of it! Hahahaha~!"
On the city wall, the county soldiers were all whispering to each other and discussing the actions of the Xiliang Army.
"It's said that the Xiliang soldiers are barbarians from the frontier fortress who don't understand etiquette at all. It seems true today."
"No, that's right. Killing so many cattle and sheep under the city clearly shows that it's a joke."
"It's just a joke, but you still use water from the moat to wash your meat. Isn't it obvious that you are stupid!"
"My baby pees in this water when he has nothing to do, and his group of little playmates do it every day."
"Pissing is nothing. I often see farmers passing by the moat and letting their animals poop in it!"
"That's right, this river is dirty. There's all kinds of junk in it, and it's not living water. Are the Xiliang soldiers going to die if they use this water to wash their meat?"
"A bunch of idiots, how come the leading general doesn't care about them?"
"The leader is probably more stupid."
"..."
As time went by, the sun gradually set, and outside the moat of Zhongmou County, the Xiliang army began to sing and dance, barbecue and drink. The strong firelight reflected the sky like a glow, which was really beautiful.
All the situations outside Zhongmu County were relayed back to Zhao Yun and others by Tao Jun's soldiers.
Zhao Yun and others are now hiding in the forest not far away.
After listening to the soldiers' report, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh: "Li Jue and Guo Si are really arrogant in acting like this. No wonder the Xiliang army will not last long if they act like this."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and sighed: "If you don't win the hearts of the people, even if you are brave and good at fighting, what's the use? In the end, you are just a pack of jackals."
Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and then asked: "Li Jue and Guo Si are making wine and hosting a banquet tonight, which is a good thing for us. I think they will be unprepared after drinking. After midnight, our army will take advantage of the situation."
A sudden kill will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!"
Zang Ba agreed: "This is a God-given opportunity that cannot be missed!"
Zhao Yun turned to look at Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi and asked, "What do you two gentlemen have to say?"
Zhuge Liang subconsciously turned to Sima Yi and said, "Brother, why don't you tell me?"
Sima Yi said: "Second Junior Brother should do the talking."
"Senior brother, why should you be so polite? You and I don't have to be so polite."
Sima Yi waved the palmetto fan and said: "In that case, I will say it on behalf of the second junior brother...Tonight is indeed a God-given opportunity, but it is not suitable to rush and kill blindly. The Xiliang army is brave, and we want to avoid Cao Cao's discovery this time.
, so when people from all walks of life gather together, the number of people is not very large. If Li Jue and Guo Si react properly, we may not win, secondly..."
When he said this, Sima Yi showed a wicked smile: "After all, we are here to rob horses, not to kill people, nor to make enemies. If there are other good ways, there will be less conflicts after all."
Zhao Yun heard this and said, "What's Zhongda's advice?"
Sima Yi winked at Xu Chu.
Xu Chu understood immediately, stood up and shouted outside the tent.
When I was young, I saw Xu Hanniang walking in with a hard gong the size of three palms.
Zhao Yun looked at the gong in Xu Hanniang's hand with confusion and said, "This is it?"
Sima Yi said to Xu Hanniang: "Sister-in-law, please knock it and let General Zhao hear it!"
Without saying a word, Xu Hanniang raised a hammer and hit the gong hard!
"Bang!"
The copper sound was crisp and loud, hitting the eardrums of everyone in the tent and making everyone's heads buzz.
Zhao Yun rubbed his temples, nodded and said: "Great gong! Was it made by the Wuwei Mansion in Jinling City?"
Sima Yi smiled and said: "Yes, only the copper and iron resources and smelting methods of Jinling City can make such a fine small gong. This time, the Taifu specially gave this thing to us. Kong Ming, General Xu, I and I came from Pei Kingdom.
Come here and bring three thousand small gongs like this!"
"Three thousand noodles?" Cold sweat dripped from Zhao Yun's head when he heard this. On the field battlefield, drums were beaten and gold was sounded. Usually, the gong could only be used to have twenty large noodles with a long and long sound.
As for this small gong with its sharp and harsh sound, it is of no use to those who are heart-wrenching.
What are you doing with three thousand noodles?
Looking at Zhao Yun's puzzled look, Sima Yi smiled and said: "General Zhao, Li Jue and Guo Si have nearly 10,000 war horses in their camp, which can be said to be a lot. In today's world, there are really not many people who can have so many war horses. But
If there are too many things, they will inevitably have their weaknesses. Although there are many horses, I expect few will be trained. If these three thousand gongs are sounded at the same time, the harsh sound will be different from the golden gongs on the battlefield. What do you think?
What will happen to those horses?”
Zhao Yun is a smart person and understands things as soon as he hears them.
Sima Yi wanted to frighten the nearly 10,000 horses in Li Guo's camp!
