Chapter 168
Zhang Miao said, "What's Meng De's opinion?"
Cao Cao said: "Cao has a trick, maybe he can block this Xiliang cavalry."
Zhang Miao cheered up and said, "Meng De, please tell me."
Cao Cao had already discussed with Cheng Yu, Mao Jie and others under his command, so he had a plan in mind, and said: "Cao thought, why don't Meng Zhuo lure him with Yu County, as long as he lures this Xiliang cavalry into Yu County, and then surrounds him with a large army. If so, there will be nowhere for him to escape."
"This……"
Zhang Miao hesitated and said, "Didn't Meng De say that this Xiliang cavalry had disappeared under Linger's eyes? Moreover, in this way, the gentry, officials and common people in Yu County might be homeless and resettle them. It will cost a lot"
Cao Cao said in a condensed voice: "This matter is really weird, but at that time there were servants from Wubao who escaped, if this Xiliang cavalry was lured into Yu County, then surrounded by a large army, not even a single chicken would be let go. You can trap this Xiliang cavalry. As long as you can wipe out this damn Xiliang cavalry, a few houses are nothing, it is better than being looted by Xiliang cavalry."
Zhang Miao thought for a long time before nodding his head and said, "Okay, let's give it a try, but how can we hide it from the Xiliang Army's eyes and ears?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "This man has his own tricks. I heard that there was a high-ranking person in Yecheng who disappeared. At that time, this Xiliang cavalry was looting in Ye County. If Cao Cao expected it, those refugees must be Xiliang. I don’t know where the army is hiding. Anyway, there are many refugees fleeing from Yuzhou right now, so we only need to rob the army as refugees, and we can hide it from the eyes and ears of the Xiliang army.”
Zhang Miao's spirits were lifted immediately, and he slammed the knot and said: "A clever plan, a very clever plan."
After a pause, he looked distressed again, and said: "But I have ordered all the counties to close the city gates and not let anyone in or out. If Yu County alone is ordered to open the city gates, and the order is changed from day to day, wouldn't it make this damn Xiliang cavalry Suspicious?"
Cao Cao said with a sly smile: "This is easy to handle. Meng Zhuo can personally abandon the city and flee from the county magistrate, and then spread rumors, saying that the city is haunted by ghosts, and many people have died. The people are ignorant. At that time, the gentry and the people in the city will fight each other. fleeing, and the refugees who escaped from Yuzhou did not dare to enter the city, the Xiliang cavalry would not be suspicious, and the casualties could be reduced."
Zhang Miao resolutely said: "Be good, just follow Meng De's opinion."
At noon, twenty miles south of Yu County.
The Xiliang army broke through a Zhuangzi, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and searched for money and food.
Luo Zheng sat in front of a warehouse door, and asked a little worriedly: "Has the scout scout been sent?"
The small scout who was in charge of spying on the military situation next to him hurriedly said, "My lord, I have already been dispatched."
Luo Zheng nodded, "Our army went deep into the Central Plains alone, let the brothers in the scout battalion be careful, we must grasp the movement within a radius of fifty miles, but if there is an unknown army, report it immediately, so as not to endanger our army. .”
The scout Xiaoxiao said solemnly: "My lord, don't worry, I will take care of it in the end."
Luo Zheng just said 'hmm' and stopped talking.
No wonder he is so careful, this is the Central Plains, not Xiliang.
When he conquered the Kanto last year, he was ambushed by Zhang He in Hebei and suffered a big loss.
The captain of the personal army, Chen Tong, even died on the spot to save himself. Such a bloody lesson, how could he not remember it long.
At that time, the vegetable garden hadn't been upgraded, so it couldn't accommodate a few people at all.
Luo Zheng didn't want to be ambushed again inexplicably, Gu Er repeatedly urged.
After the sun began to set to the west, a thousand Xiliang soldiers had enough to eat and drink, and all the money, food and various supplies copied out were also moved into the vegetable garden, and there were also eight unfinished big pigs and more than 30 sheep. They were driven into the vegetable garden and enclosed.
Luo Zheng was about to leave, and rushed over as soon as he rode scouts to explore the horse.
"My lord, a large number of refugees have been found outside Yu County!"
The scout scout urged the horse to come forward, rolled off the horse and touched the tunnel with one knee.
Luo Zheng waved his whip and asked, "How many refugees are there in Yu County?"
The scout scout replied, "About ten thousand people?"
Luo Zheng frowned and said: "Where are there so many refugees in Yu County?"
Xu Chu answered, "Yu County is the border between Yuzhou and Chenliu, so they probably escaped from Yuzhou."
Luo Zheng frowned even more, and said: "Fugou is closer to Yuzhou, why are there only a thousand refugees?"
"This one……"
Xu Chu scratched his head, unable to answer.
The scout cavalry hurriedly said: "My lord, I heard that Yu County has been opening granaries recently."
Luo Zheng suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that this is not surprising."
Xu Chuning said: "My lord, since there are so many refugees in Yu County, we can try to take them in."
Luo Zheng'h' sounded, "It's almost time to take in another [-] refugees, and I should go back to Xiliang."
The scout cavalry hurriedly said: "My lord, there is another news."
Luo Zheng stomped his feet and said: "Speak."
The scout cavalry said: "When the general left, he found that the officials and gentry of Yu County were leaving the city and fleeing north."
Luo Zheng said in surprise: "There is such a thing, why did the officials and gentry of Yu County escape?"
The scout cavalry scratched their heads and said, "I don't know, but most likely they are afraid of our army attacking the city."
Luo Zheng thought about it, and immediately waved: "Go, go and see!"
The army quickly hid in the vegetable garden, and the servants who escaped by chance escaped outside the village for their lives.
Luo Zheng mixed in with the fleeing servants and quietly left Zhuangzi.
In the northwest corner of Zhuangzi, in a ditch hundreds of paces away.
Cao Ren waited until no one escaped from Zhuangzi, then patted the ashes on his body, crawled out of the ditch, ran towards Zhuangzi as if flying, went outside Zhuangzi to listen attentively for a while, and immediately opened the door and left. enter.
No wonder he was so cautious. He got the news yesterday and rushed to a Wubao that was taken by raids. The unbelievers sent a few brave men to investigate, but they were all shot and killed by Xiliang cavalry, and none of them escaped.
After following Cao Ren several times, he slowly discovered a phenomenon.
As long as someone escaped from the attacked Zhuangzi, most of the Xiliang army would have disappeared.
Sure enough, by the time Cao Ren rushed into Zhuangzi, the Xiliang cavalry had disappeared.
"Hey, what the hell!"
Cao Ren scratched his head, "How did this damn Xiliang cavalry leave?"
After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out, so I left Zhuangzi in a hurry, ran into a dense forest two miles away, took the horse, and rushed back to Yu County with more than ten clan children.
In the morning, Cao Cao's military order had been received, ordering him to rush to Yu County before sunset.
The sun was already westward now, Cao Ren didn't dare to delay any longer, lest he miss the military orders.
Yu County, four or six open.
After the gentry officials and the people in the city fled, Yu County has become an empty city.
The refugees crowded outside the city heard the news that the city was recently haunted by ghosts, and many people were eaten. The gentry officials and common people were really frightened, so they had to flee with their families, so they did not dare to enter the city. .
The sun had already set to the west, and hundreds of refugees were lying on the ground sparsely, soaking up the sun.
There are also strong and strong men setting up firewood and burning pheasants and hares collected by Kao.
There are hungry and dizzy refugees drooling around, but they don't have the guts to go forward to grab it.That strong man with roast pheasant and hare was not easy to mess with at first glance. Yesterday, there were more than a dozen refugees trying to grab food, but they were all knocked down by that man.
"Daddy, I'm hungry!"
A five or six-year-old girl bit her finger and tugged at the man's sleeve.
The man in his 20s was fair-skinned and didn't look like a working person. Holding his daughter's hand, he hesitated for a long time but still didn't dare to go forward. He didn't even have the courage to ask for help, so he sighed secretly.
"Want to eat meat?"
At this time, a man's voice suddenly sounded from the side.
The man turned his head and saw a young man next to him, holding a roasted chicken leg.
Although this young man was very down and out, his eyes were full of energy. Occasionally there would be a persuasive glint of light, which would make one's heart tremble involuntarily. He didn't look like an ordinary person, let alone a refugee.
"Meat, I want to eat!"
The little girl didn't dare to do so much, she nodded hastily, her eyes had already started to shine.
The man looked at the young man, then looked down at the hungry, sallow-faced and muscular daughter, and sighed secretly.
"Here, uncle will give you meat!"
Luo Zheng handed the chicken legs to the little girl and patted her head.
"Thank you uncle!"
The little girl was quite polite, thanked Luo Zheng, and gnawed on the chicken legs.
Although he was already starving, but his eating habits were quite good, and it seemed that his family was well-educated.
"Thank you brother!"
The man cupped his hands and saluted Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng showed surprise, looked at the little girl, then at the man, and said: "Is your family from a noble family?"
The man said dejectedly: "my late father used to be an official in Langling, and I wanted to become an official, but my father passed away, and the filial piety was not yet completed, and Yuan Gong sent troops to conquer Yangzhou. All of them died at the hands of the bandits, and escaped with their little daughter, and fled all the way to Yuxian County, fortunately, the government opened a warehouse to donate food, so that they would not die of starvation."
Luo Zheng said: "War together, the most suffering is the people!"
The man asked: "Guanxiongtai is not an ordinary person, why is he so downcast?"
Luo Zheng smiled, avoided the topic, and asked: "Why do the officials and the people of Yu County flee?"
The man did not doubt him, and said humanely: "Recently, news has spread that there are ghosts and ghosts making troubles in Yuxian County. Many people have been eaten by evil spirits. All the gentry abandoned the city and ran for their lives."
Luo Zheng asked: "Do you believe this kind of thing?"
The man said: "I don't talk about strange powers and gods. How can you believe in such illusory things?"
Luo Zheng nodded, chatted with the man for a few more words, and then walked away.
Xu Chu followed suit, carrying a long bag on his back.
The man took a look, his eyes were fixed, the two were obviously master and servant, but they were so downcast, it was really weird.
Luo Zheng did not enter the city in a hurry, but took Xu Chu to wander among the refugees to inquire about the news.
Although the refugees were unanimous, he always felt that something was wrong.Evil ghosts eat people, this kind of lie also deceives those foolish people, how can people like Luo Zheng believe it, so they dare not enter the city easily, lest there will be fraud.
Soon, Luo Zheng discovered something unusual.
Although there are real refugees gathered outside the city, most of them are not like refugees at all.
For people like Luo Zheng who are accustomed to fighting on the battlefield, those soldiers are still a little different from the real refugees. Although they seem to be slow, many people secretly have eye contact from time to time.
"No, let's go!"
Luo Zheng greeted and was ready to leave immediately.
However, at this moment, with a sweep of his eyes, he found an acquaintance, and immediately blurted out.
