Chapter 25: Zhao Yun's First Mission

The autumn rain continues, and in late autumn, the Xiliang area enters the rainy season.

The roads on the Loess Road are muddy and full of small puddles.

After several days of rapid marching, Mu Yi finally arrived at Chencang City.

The sky was overcast, the light rain was still falling, and the dripping water of the eaves was also connected into a line, and the sky and the earth were white as far as the eye could see.

After entering the city, Mu Yi checked the granary as soon as possible, first of all, to determine how much grain and grass he had, and whether the grain and grass were damp because of the cloudy weather.

To say that the saddest thing is Dong Zhuo, originally he wanted to use the same set to deal with Zhang Wen to deal with Mu Yi, but Mu Yi didn't bird him at all, he had been in the city for three days, and in addition to patrolling the city all day long, he was standing on the top of the city to observe the terrain, and he never sent anyone to summon him.

As time passed, Dong Zhuo began to worry a little, if Mu Yi always ignored himself, wouldn't he have no chance to make meritorious contributions?

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo made up his mind, since you don't come to me, then I'd better go to you.

In this way, the fat man of Dong swayed to the head of the city, followed by several burly soldiers holding a bamboo umbrella for him.

When Dong Zhuo came to the city gate, Mu Yi was holding a bamboo umbrella and looking at the enemy's military camp.

I saw that the camp of the rebels was built on the mountain, and there was a small river flowing slowly next to the camp.

"Humble Dong Zhuo see general!" Dong Zhuo glanced around with the corner of his eye, and saw a young man standing on either side of Mu Yi, one of whom looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the other was the same age as Mu Yi, but much more handsome than Mu Yi.

Dong Zhuo didn't pay attention to this kind of little white face at all, and directly regarded them as the little son of an official eunuch in the imperial court who came here to mix the credit, so he directly ignored them.

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, who were standing on the side, attracted Dong Zhuo's attention, in his opinion, only this kind of burly, five-year-old and three-thick man could go to the battlefield to fight.

Mu Yi knew what kind of person Dong Zhuo was, but he didn't want to offend him for the time being, and if he turned against him now, it wouldn't be good for him.

Mu Yi smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Dong Zhuo and said, "It turned out to be General Dong, how did General Dong come here with such a heavy rain?"

"Uh...... A few days ago, due to his busy official duties, he had not yet given the general a clean sweep, so he had just ordered someone to buy a banquet and asked the general to move to the camp of the lowly position. ”

Glancing at Guo Jia beside him, Mu Yi stretched his waist and said, "It's just that I'm tired from the bumps along the way, it's time to rest!"

After saying that, Mu Yi's face suddenly became serious, and he stretched out his hand to beckon Xiahou Lan who was not far away: "The soldiers in this general's view of the city are loose in military discipline, where is there still a little bit of a soldier?" Xia Houlan obeyed the order!"

"This general now orders you to take the post of Fazheng, rectify military discipline as soon as possible, and if there is anyone who disobeys the order, he will be killed!"

"No!"

Dong Zhuo on the side scolded secretly in his heart: "Where does this little white face want to rectify military discipline, it is clearly to give Lao Tzu a prestige!"

After eating and drinking at Dong Zhuo's place, Mu Yi stabilized Dong Zhuo and returned to the official office.

The yamen has been tightly controlled by the people brought by Mu Yi, and ordinary people don't want to get into it at all.

In the lobby of the yamen, Mu Yi called Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao together. He immediately smiled at Guo Jia and said, "What can the second brother see?" Is there a way to break the enemy? ”

Guo Jia stood up, put on an unfathomable look and said: "It has always been rainy during this time, and sometimes there will even be heavy rain. This kind of weather is really not a good thing for marching and fighting, but when I observed the enemy camp at the head of the city today, Jia Zhi found some clues, maybe this continuous rainy season is a good thing for us!"

Mu Yi nodded: "Hmm! Yes, the Qianghu rebels are good at riding and shooting, and it is indeed a good thing for us to have a bow in such a climate where the bowstring is difficult to open when it is damp, and the muddy roads are not conducive to cavalry charges. However, we still need to add a lot of surprise to the rebels to minimize our own losses when defeating the enemy army!"

Guo Jia nodded sympathetically: "Since ancient times, the most killed enemies in wars are nothing more than water and fire, and it is impossible to use fire in such a rainy weather, so we can only attack with water."

Mu Yi nodded and looked at Zhao Yun: "Zilong listens to orders!"

"Humble duty!" Zhao Yunqi stepped forward and agreed.

"Now there is a very hard thing to be handed over to you to do, and after the thing is completed, Zilong should be the first credit! After a while, you led 10,000 soldiers out of the city quietly, and made a detour from behind the rebel camp to find a larger gorge upstream of the river to build a dam, and renew the river. After the water is full, dig a dam to release water, and quickly evacuate after the matter is completed, set up an ambush on the road to Tianshui County, and once the rebels pass by, fight hard!"

"Whoa!"

"Remember to bring extra pockets when you go, and everyone should bring at least enough food for seven days to sneak out of the city, and try not to let people know what they are going to do."

"Whoa!"

Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward and took the golden approval arrow in Mu Yi's hand.

At this time, Zhao Yun was so excited, he never thought that Mu Yi would use himself so much, and in the first battle, he handed over 10,000 horses to his command, and also handed over such an important task to himself.

Seeing Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao who were eager to try, Mu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, when the time comes, General Ben will give you and the two more important tasks."

"Hey, hey, hey...... Thank you Ah Lang!" Pei Yuanshao touched his big bald head and said with a smile.

Mu Yi's face changed: "There are only superiors and subordinates in the military camp, if there is a next time, twenty military sticks!"

"Whoa!"

After arranging everything, Mu Yi stretched his waist, yawned and said, "Aha...... It's still comfortable at home!"

Guo Jia stepped forward and grinned: "Big brother might as well go and rest first, the eldest brother has been a little overworked these days, and his body can't hold it after a long time!"

Mu Yi nodded: "Hmm! The second brother also took time to rest for a while. ”

The next day, the drizzle was still dripping, and Mu Yi, who had nothing to do and waited for Zhao Yun's news, stood in front of a sheepskin map and carefully observed the terrain.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran in and knelt on one knee: "Report to the general, there is a general of Dong Zhuo outside who asks to see the general!"

Mu Yi frowned slightly, what are Dong Zhuo's subordinates looking for him? It seems that Dong Zhuo also has a lot of talented people, I don't know who is coming?

"Bring him in!"

"Whoa!"

In a short time, the soldier brought in a man in his twenties.

The man was seven feet tall, had a dark complexion, and had a small three-inch beard.

The person who came stepped forward and bowed to Mu Yi and said, "Humble Zhang Ji see the general!"

Mu Yi frowned slightly, looked at the person in front of him carefully, and secretly wondered in his heart: "Another cow man!" However, this guy has a few powerful people under him, such as his nephew Zhang Xiu, and that Hu Che'er, who has a strength of 500 catties and travels 700 miles a day......"

"Oh, it's General Zhang! I wonder what the general is doing here? ”

"The general came from afar, and prepared a banquet in the camp, hoping that the general would be able to appreciate it!" Zhang Ji bowed again.

Mu Yi looked at Zhang Ji in front of him carefully, and thought to himself: "This guy is Dong Zhuo's general, why are you looking for me in private?"

Anyway, he was idle, and Mu Yi didn't refute his face, so he nodded and agreed.

When he came to Zhang Ji's camp, Zhang Ji immediately sent all the people around him away and stayed alone with Mu Yi in a room.

When the two of them sat down, a young woman walked out of the back hall, the woman's complexion was white and tender, with a goose egg face and willow eyebrows, and a slender figure that was convex and backward, which was called a slim.

The woman held a guqin in her arms, walked to a table and played it with a ding-dong clang.

Zhang Ji smiled and said, "This is cheap, does the general think it can be seen?"

Mu Yi nodded and said: "It turned out to be Zhang Ji's wife Zou, no wonder Cao Cao killed his son and general Dian Wei for her, it really looks like a disaster for the country and the people!"

Zhang Ji showed a shameless smile: "I heard that the general is quite popular in the capital, and he is also familiar with the current queen, I wonder if the general can say a few good words and transfer his humble post to the capital?"

Seeing that Mu Yi didn't answer, Zhang Ji hurriedly pointed to his wife and said: "The general is coming from afar, how can there be no one around to serve, those soldiers in the army who are clumsy and clumsy will not serve people at all, can the lowly generals be sent to the general?"

"What?" After hearing this, Mu Yi hurriedly waved his hand, although this woman was beautiful, he didn't dare to move. Cao Cao caused Zhang Xiu to rebel because of this woman, and as a result, even Cao Cao's son and Dian Wei were killed by Zhang Xiu, so it's better to provoke her less if you're fine!

"General Zhang must not, this matter will not be mentioned again in the future. As for in front of the emperor, as long as the general has merit, he will definitely play it one by one. ”

"Thank you, General! Come, humble and respectful to the general!"

"Please!"

The two of them pushed the cup and changed the cup like this, and after three rounds of wine and five flavors, Mu Yicai asked intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that the general has a nephew named Zhang Xiu?" I don't know where now? ”

Zhang Ji thought that Mu Yi was going to promote his nephew, and said with a happy face: "That stinky boy is in the lowly camp, a few years ago in Jincheng County Mansion but a small official, usually like to make friends with the Jianghu rangers, Bian Zhang Han rebelled and joined the army." If the general is optimistic about him, he will call that stinky boy to the general's command to listen to the order!"

Mu Yi rolled his eyes and thought, "I don't dare to ask for your nephew, he is typically a rebel." voted for Cao Cao, but rebelled and killed someone's son and general Dian Wei, posing as if he was incompatible with Cao Cao. As a result, after a few years of fighting, I voted for Cao Cao, do I dare to ask for this kind of capricious person? But he seems to have two people I like. ”

Thinking of this, Mu Yi smiled slightly and waved his hand: "The general misunderstood, I just heard that he likes to make friends with the rangers of the rivers and lakes, and I want to see what strange people he has under his command!"
