Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 139 Thief Cao is ill (please subscribe)

The war in Wen County soon fell into a state of confrontation.

There were fierce generals like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao, and the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Bandits came to challenge them several times, but they all turned back.

Then the officers and soldiers went to challenge the traitor's stronghold. At first, the enemy sent troops to fight. After losing several generals in a row, they did not dare to come out again and refused to fight behind closed doors.

Of course, facing a numerical disadvantage, the officers and soldiers could not storm the fortress.

In the lobby of Wenxian County Government.

"One hundred thousand versus forty thousand, and in the end, he was beaten so hard that he cowered and dared not show his head. Shame, shame!" Zhang Yan walked around angrily and shouted angrily, "I have been in the world for so many years, but I have never been beaten like this. A useless fight."

He has lost two more commanders in the past few days. If this rate continues, it won't be long before the Montenegrin Army collapses due to the lack of middle-level backbones.

"If that doesn't work, let's just rely on our numerical advantage to attack the army camp!" Bai Bo thief Qu Shuai Hu Cai suggested.

"Attack the enemy camp?" Guo Tai, the commander-in-chief of the Baibo Thieves, shook his head. It was not that he had never had this idea before, but he knew the quality of his troops.

Small-scale battles have been a series of defeats. If a large-scale attack is carried out and the officers and soldiers rely on the camp defense, their own side will inevitably face greater losses. It is very likely that the camp will not be captured by then, and it will end up with a loss of troops and generals.

They now finally believed the intelligence brought back by Yang Feng, which was that there were too many capable warriors around the Dog Emperor, and many generals were even as brave as Lu Bu.

"There is not much food and grass in the army. Hedong has completely cut off the supply. If we continue to use it up, there will be a mutiny." Hu Cai said worriedly.

Everyone frowned, and there was no good solution.

I can't fight again and again, and I can't afford the consumption. What should I do?

Yang Feng, the canal commander of the Montenegrin Army, said thoughtfully: "After crossing the Yellow River, you will reach Luoyang, the capital. But now that the Yellow River is frozen and it is easy to pass, it is better to lead the Huns cavalry across the river to harass Luoyang. In this way, the Dog Emperor and the The officers and soldiers must retreat, and by then we will plunder Hanoi and solve the food and grass crisis."

"We came to Hanoi not to repel the army, but to capture the Dog Emperor." Mrs. Guo frowned, her eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "It's not impossible, I can lay an ambush for the Dog Emperor on his way back to Beijing. , when the time comes, we will wait for work and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Everyone seemed to suddenly see a bright light in the darkness, and they all became excited.

Because the Yellow River is frozen, they can completely avoid taking the usual route and cross the river at any node of the Yellow River, thus avoiding large passes like Sishui Pass and some ferries guarded by soldiers, and go straight to Luoyang City. .

The terrain around Luoyang is complex, and it is too easy to set up an ambush.

Everyone thought this was a good idea and immediately began to plan the details of the ambush.

……

In the army camp, everyone was also planning the next war.

"These thieves fight but don't fight, retreat but don't retreat, I don't know what their intentions are? It's really annoying." Zhang Fei said in a loud voice.

"If the thieves want to consume, then just consume them." Ding Yuan said with a smile, "It won't be long before they are short of food and clothing and they will collapse. When the time comes, we will take advantage of the situation to chase them and we will be able to put an end to the chaos in one fell swoop."

"Jianyang's words are reasonable," Gai Xun said. "The thieves are in large numbers and their number is more than twice that of our army. If they are willing to fight, our army can still win with our elite soldiers and brave generals. If they cannot hold on, our army will be defeated with few soldiers." The attack is at a disadvantage, so the best strategy now is to fight at the expense of others. Dong Zhuo has already occupied the east of the river, and the Baibo bandits will not be able to last long without backup."

"In another two or three days, the damaged repeating crossbow will be repaired as before, and our army's offensive and defensive capabilities will be greatly improved." Liu Biao said excitedly.

The Lian Nu was damaged a lot when the Black Mountain Army attacked Tushan. Recently, Liu Biao has been organizing manpower to repair the Lian Nu. Now the Shesheng Battalion has become the active strike corps of the government army.

At this time, a messenger suddenly came in to report that Lu Bu had sent a memorial from Pinggao City.

After Liu Ming took it and read it, he handed it to Gai Xun next to him with a smile and said, "Fengxian can't sit still anymore."

Lu Bu said in the letter that his arrow wound had healed, and requested to go to the front line to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service.

After Gai Xun finished reading it, he handed it to Ding Yuan next to him and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"The war is coming, and we need strong generals like Fengxian." Liu Ming said, "Let him come and choose someone else to guard Pinggao."

When Ding Yuan saw that Lu Bu was coming, he was also very happy. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao had given their Bingzhou Army some face. I am afraid that after the Battle of Hanoi, the world will know that Ding Yuan is a good leader.

Coupled with the meritorious service of the escort, Ding, the governor of Bingzhou, might be promoted to become the governor of Bingzhou.

Immediately let Wei Xu, the general of the Bingzhou Army, go to Pinggao to replace Lu Bu and order Lu Bu to fight on the front line.

At present, the official army and the bandit army have reached a certain degree of balance, but obviously this balance will not last long, and they will soon fall into a big war or even a decisive battle, and Lu Bu's value will be even more highlighted.

Nowadays, with Lu Bu's reputation, as long as he stands in front of the thief and does nothing, it will also cause strong psychological pressure on the other party.

At this time, the flag officer came in to report that Song Xian and Cao Xing were back.

"Let them come in." Liu Ming said.

Generals Song Xian and Cao Xing walked in.

"These idiots know how to hide in their nests and dare not come out to challenge." Song Xian said angrily, "After yelling and scolding for a whole day, not a single person came out to take a breath."

"You must have been scared out of your wits by the officers and soldiers, hahahaha..." Cao Xing laughed and said.

Everyone in the big tent also burst into laughter.

Generals like Song Xian and Cao Xing were simply inferior in Liu Ming's eyes. They could frighten the thieves into not wanting to fight, which is not what they should be.

The thieves should know the skills of these two men. Song Xian had fought against Hu Cai before, and the two of them killed each other equally. Even if they were not careful, Song Xian might lose to Hu Cai.

Although the Baibo bandits and the Black Mountain bandits cannot compare with the official army in terms of overall combat power, there should be many generals at Hu Cai's level.

If Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Liao challenged the enemy, it would be understandable if the enemy did not come out. However, if Song Xian and Cao Xing challenged the enemy, the enemy would not dare to accept the challenge. This is a bit unjustifiable.

"Could the thief be secretly planning some conspiracy?" Liu Ming asked.

"It's indeed a bit abnormal to not rush to fight if we are about to run out of food." Gai Xun said thoughtfully.

At the same time, I admired His Majesty's acumen in my heart. After all, it was the first time His Majesty went to the battlefield, and he had such a subtle insight. At this point, he surpassed countless courtiers.

"A thief will always be a thief. When he sees the officers and soldiers, he can't help but feel a little weaker. It's normal to be frightened." Ding Yuan said. He preferred to believe that it was his two generals who had frightened the thieves. He is now a little obsessed with the aura he has created. He just defeated Dong Zhuo at Hangu Pass not long ago, and now he is showing his face in front of His Majesty, and it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant.

"Actually..." Kuai Yue thought for a while and said, "Actually, no matter what conspiracy the thieves play, it can't change the fact that they are short of food and grass. The officers and soldiers only need to continue to fight with them to consume. They will ignore any tricks and the thieves will not surrender. Just starve to death!”

"This is a safe strategy." Gai Xun praised.

After the accounts were settled, only Gai Xun and Liu Ming were left.

Gai Xun saw no one around him and looked worried, saying, "I don't know if Meng De has entered Wen County or not. I'm really worried about him."

"Meng De has a delicate mind, so nothing will happen to him." Liu Ming said with a smile, "And he is an old acquaintance with the Sima family, so his trip will be successful."

"I hope so." Gai Xun said.

After the confrontation between the official army and the rebel army a few days ago, it was difficult to make progress. Although the general direction was to fight for attrition, Liu Ming and Gai Xun privately arranged another path.

That is to send Cao Cao to sneak into Wen County to meet the Sima family, seek their help internally, cooperate internally and externally, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Liu Ming knew from the information and memory of his previous life that Sima Fang had a close relationship with Cao Cao and recommended Cao Cao many times. It can be said that he was kind to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao seemed to care about this kindness and always went to Sima Fang's house. Therefore, Cao Cao and the Sima family were very familiar with each other and got along very well.

So after Liu Ming and Gai Xun discussed it, they asked Cao Cao and a capable soldier to dress up as the Baibo Army and blend into the opponent's team during a melee.

In order to enter Wen County and contact the Sima family. The Sima family is a big family in Wen County, with a big business and many people. If they cooperate internally, it will be much easier to capture Wen County.

It's really easy to dress up as a Baibo thief. You just need to dress like a refugee. Besides, after several battles, it's not a problem to find a few ready-made Baibo thief costumes.

When Cao Cao heard that he was going to Sima's house, he didn't refuse at all. He agreed at that time and was even a little excited. However, it has been three days and there has been no response at all.

Liu Ming and Gai Xun couldn't help but worry.

……

Within the county seat of Wenxian County, Sima Mansion, the inner chamber of the Madame's bedroom.

The good wood charcoal makes the room warm as spring, which is in sharp contrast to the cold weather outside.

The bed curtain was drooped and shaking rapidly, and two people behind the curtain could be vaguely seen wrestling with each other, and a fierce battle was going on...

It makes the room feel full of spring and extremely comfortable.

After an unknown amount of time, the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, and the man collapsed on the couch, panting like an old cow. It was Cao Cao, the captain of the Xiyuan Central Military Academy.

And the woman beside him was clearly Sima Fang's wife.

Although Mrs. Sima was already an old lady, her charm was still there. She raised her soft hand and caressed Cao Cao's heaving chest, and said in a charming voice: "I said goodbye to you in the capital. I thought I would never see you again in this life. I didn't expect this. You'll find me soon."

"The military affairs are so busy that I can't help myself. When my wife returned to Wen County, I didn't have time to see you off." Cao Cao weakly raised his hand and gently placed it on the beauty beside the pillow, saying, "This time I heard that Your Majesty is coming to Hanoi, so I asked you to I am following His Majesty just to see Madam again."

Chen Tian wasted the animals, and Cao Cao felt a little exhausted from the fierce battle with Mrs. Sima. He didn't want to move at all, and just wanted to sleep quietly.

In fact, they had hooked up as early as Luoyang, but Sima Fang was still in the dark.

When Mrs. Sima heard this, she was greatly moved. She pressed her head tightly against Cao Cao's chest, listened to the intense heartbeat, and said, "Even if you have some conscience, you are really embarrassed. The thieves have surrounded the county town. You can still sneak in."

"I'll die just to see my wife without any regrets." Cao Cao continued to stare and talk nonsense.

Mrs. Sima smiled and said: "You have a mouth that is good at making women happy. Let's be honest. What do you need from the Sima family when you risk your life to come here this time? I will help you fulfill the emperor's orders."

Mrs. Sima is also extremely smart, otherwise she would not have taught the famous "Sima Bada" in later generations.

She had already guessed Cao Cao's intention, but she still felt extremely comfortable and comfortable listening to the other man's caring words.

When Cao Cao saw that his intentions were revealed, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face. He smiled and said, "Madam, you are indeed the most intelligent person in the world. Your Majesty's civilized martial arts skills made the thieves afraid to fight, so he went into the city and joined forces with the Sima family to start an uprising. , cooperate inside and outside, and defeat the thief in one fell swoop.”

Mrs. Sima frowned. This was a big deal. If not, the family might be wiped out, so she had to act with caution.

The Baibo thieves knew that the Sima family was a wealthy family in Wen County, and they would come here to extort money from time to time. Facing a powerful enemy, they could only spend money to eliminate disasters and spend some money to make peace.

It can be said that since the thieves took over Wen County, the Sima family has been fighting for their lives. They hope that these thieves will be beaten away as soon as possible. However, if the Sima family is allowed to directly participate in the operation to eliminate the thieves, Mrs. Sima is still a little hesitant.

After all, Sima Fang was not in Wen County, and his sons were still young. The eldest Sima Lang was only seventeen years old. She, a female, made the decision, which made her feel a lot of pressure.

Seeing that his wife was silent, Cao Cao immediately possessed the scumbag temperament and said pointedly: "Now the rebel army has no retreat, all supplies have been cut off, and they cannot defeat the official army. If it is delayed for a long time, they may rob the rich households in the city. Supplies, the Sima clan will be in danger by then."

"Is what Meng De said true?" Mrs. Sima was surprised.

Although she is smart, she is not able to show her face on weekdays. Especially after the county town was occupied by thieves, she has never left the house once. She does not know much about the specific progress of the war. She just feels that the thieves have been more and more aggressive towards the big families in the city recently. So tight, they even ransacked their homes and wiped out two families.

"Hehe, if it's true, Madam, you'll know if you feel it for yourself." Cao Cao chuckled twice, turned over and pressed the jade body under him again, "Madam, you only need to feel the officers and soldiers from here." With so much power, how can a thief remain undefeated?"

The bed began to creak again, and the curtains shook slightly.

Mrs. Sima felt that she was about to fly into the sky. Her whole body was light and fluttering, like a light feather falling in the waves. She drifted with the waves, ups and downs, and couldn't help but relax completely and feel the beauty of the waves.

At this wolf-like age, it is rare to have this wonderful feeling, and it feels even more precious.

"Cao Cao has discovered that the thieves are quietly mobilizing their troops." Cao Cao tried his best to move and panted, "When we find out the details of the thieves, we will contact His Majesty, and we will cooperate internally and externally, and in one fell swoop..."

"Don't be distracted by talking, concentrate on your work." Listening to his chatter, Mrs. Sima couldn't help but frown slightly and reminded, "A real man lives up to his name."

Cao Cao: "...fuck!"
