Chapter 256: True and False, Cao Ren is really a coincidence
One person rushed up the slope at night, this is Sima Yi's territory. But this man, after seeing the Wei patrol, said loudly: "Quick! ”
Two patrolmen immediately surrounded him, and the man fell off his horse. The soldier walked over and saw a man covered in blood. The man wearing the Wei State armor propped up his upper body, stretched out his bloody right hand towards the two of them, and said, "I am ...... Cao Ren...... Fast...... Escape...... The enemy soldiers had food and were about to besiege and kill. ”
When they heard this, they hurriedly dismounted and helped him up. They were all soldiers of the Wei State, and they had also seen Cao Ren ordering troops on the battlefield, and when they saw him doing this, they turned pale with fright. But Cao Ren's body collapsed again, pushing both of them away. He turned his back to the sky, raised a trembling arm and said, "Leave me alone...... Go and report it...... Fast! ”
As if they had received an order, the two of them immediately complied and rode back up the mountain. But when the brigade came, Cao Ren was gone. At the foot of the mountain, there were suddenly human figures. Sima Yi said loudly on the horse: "Rush down for me and rescue the general!" ”
The soldiers took the order and left. But because the shadows moved quickly, there was nothing left by the time they reached the bottom of the mountain. The crowd dispersed, chased everywhere for more than 20 miles, and did not see a single person, and all of them returned to the village at the end of the day.
Sima Yizhai's tent was worried, and two soldiers who had seen Cao Ren standing in the tent.
"You've all seen it clearly!" Sima Yi said loudly, his eyes as angry as a rocket.
"Yes!" The two said in unison.
"We don't dare to lie to the military division. The general is a well-known figure in the Wei State, although we are pawns, how can we admit him wrong. And his tone and that kind of conversation are like a general! ”
"yes, yes, how could it be wrong?"
"What did he say?" Sima Yi asked again.
Both nodded.
"Get out!" Sima Yi waved his hand, took a deep breath, and muttered, "I didn't expect Pang Tongjun to be so difficult. ”
After a while, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu entered the account. Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "I don't see the general and the enemy soldiers, but there is an obvious blood stain left on the ground on one road." But after searching for this road, I found no one for more than 20 miles. ”
"There's no way around it." Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this case, General Cao Ren will be more than lucky." What he sent was valuable military information. However, I always think we should be more cautious. It's so weird. Whether it was the beginning when we heard the news of the successful grain robbery, or suddenly General Cao Ren came to report the danger. He let out a "tsk" sound. "The shadows of the virtual and the real are stacked, so be sober."
Although he spoke to the two of them, he seemed to be admonishing himself.
"Those two cavalrymen will not have a problem. They have been in the army for many years, and they have always provided useful information to our army in the work of detecting the enemy situation or conducting patrols. Guan Yu said: "I also asked a lot of people in the army, and they all said that these two people are very conscientious, and there have been no suspicious movements recently." ”
"Well, I've had people try them, too." Sima Yi's eyes narrowed into a slit. "They weren't lying. Unless there is someone in this world who looks like the general and fools them. ”
Hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, both of them looking surprised. Sima Yi has always doubted many things, and in constant doubts, he can always put forward some new opinions.
"Is there really someone who looks like that?" Zhang Fei couldn't help but say.
"I'm just guessing. I always feel that things are not that simple. Sima Yi said: "I am a person who will not believe if I have not seen it with my own eyes. He smiled indifferently at the two fierce generals in front of him. Don't use your ears as eyes. ”
There are deeper concerns in the shadow behind this man's body. What he thought in his heart seemed unwilling to let the two former Shu generals know.
In the past few days, Sima Yi has only been a measure to strengthen the defense, and has no intention of retreating. The soldiers were puzzled, since the food of the Pang Tong army was still sufficient, and they planned to besiege it, why didn't they retreat earlier?
This question was also thrown into Sima Yi's account by Guan Yu. But Sima Yi replied like this: "I didn't see the reality of the enemy soldiers. All I have to do is to strengthen the fortifications here without any news from the king's army, and then whether the enemy soldiers have food or not, even if they want to storm it, it will be thankless, and I have absolute confidence to defend it. ”
Just when Sima Yi was persistent with his beliefs, Pang Tongjun had also been investigating his situation.
"Why is this Sima Yi so calm?" Lu Budao sat in the tent, and Pang Tong sat on the seat.
"It's very simple, this old fox should be skeptical. He probably didn't believe that Cao Ren was real. But in doing so, I got to know the person in a new way. Pang Tong smiled: "It's an old fox even older than an old fox." He has Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in his hands, and has strengthened the defense, we have to attack strongly, it is difficult to attack the city. It's a thankless task. And we ourselves are short of food. If you don't challenge for many days, you will soon be seen through by Sima Yi. But if you attack it now, it will be another matter of losing 1,000 enemies and injuring 800 yourself. If we can't win after the battle, then it's catastrophic for the whole picture. ”
"Didn't you say that the Dark Moon Camp already knew Cao Ren's whereabouts?"
"That's Gongjin's business, if he can't do it, we can't blame him." Pang Tong said calmly.
"You seem to be much calmer than your enemies." Lu Bu looked at him impatiently. "A woman can influence your emotions, and this woman is extraordinary."
"Hey, there's no way, I really don't know what she's thinking, I've said everything I need to say......" Pang Tong's face showed a bitter face.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Be patient, women are more difficult to deal with than Cao Mengde." ”
"It seems that my sister-in-law is not simple." Pang Tong said with a smile.
Lu Bu also laughed.
"So, what did you decide?" Lu Budao.
"Wait, wait for news from Gongjin."
Six days later, Sima Yi received a summons from Cao Cao's envoy.
"That Cao Ren is really real?" His face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If Guo Jia's plan succeeds, we will win." But his mistake backfired when the king's army was defeated in the valley. ”
"Then hurry up and pack up and leave." Zhang Fei said in the tent.
"No, drink and have fun during the day, beat the drums of war for me." Sima Yi said.
"Why don't you hurry up?" Guan Yu on one side asked tentatively.
"If you go immediately, you will definitely be pursued, that Pang Tong is not simple." Sima Yi said: "So we have to walk under the night, and let the enemy see our ease during the day." ”
It was under his plan that he drank and had fun during the day and beat the drums of war. This situation was reported to Pang Tong's army by Tanma. Pang Tong thought to himself: "The old thief is scheming, either he wants to withdraw his troops, or he is laying out a momentum to lead us to the bait. ”
Just when he couldn't bear it, Lu Bu entered the tent and said: "I heard that Sima Yi has been beating the drum, and the whole military village is like a person who pretends to be crazy and stupid. ”
"Brother is right, this Sima Yi is pretending to be crazy and stupid." Pang Tong said: "This is a suspicious plan, but we don't know what the purpose is." ”
"What should I do?"
"I'll go with you." After finishing speaking, he ordered thousands of soldiers, and approached the forest not far from the mountain where Sima Yi was located with Lu Bu. They looked at the wooden fence of the military fortress on the mountainside, and the war drums were still beating inside, and the sound resounded throughout the mountain. And the sky began to get dark. At this moment, a group of cavalry passed by on the road in front of them, more than 5,000 people, led by Guan Yu, each full of energy, extremely vigilant around, and after a while, a group of infantry at the foot of the mountain in the distance, tens of thousands of people, led by the black-faced Zhang Fei, seemed to be training. Under such circumstances, Pang Tong ordered a retreat.
On the way, Lu Bu asked, "Why did you leave like this?" ”
"The enemy has been on guard around us, and we can't stay for long, otherwise it will be easy to be surrounded and suppressed by Sima Yi."
"What do you mean, the old thief originally set up an ambush and waited for us to fall into it?"
"It's likely that they already know that we are there, so they start to mobilize people to play in the surrounding area, and when the layout is formed, we may even be cut off by them." Pang Tong analyzed.
But they didn't know that at this time, the sky was dark, and Sima Yi's army began to gradually withdraw. The next day, there were also Sima Yi's patrols patrolling seriously at the foot of the mountain. But by noon, no one was there. Tanma returns to Pang Tong. And Pang Tong had just received an envoy sent by Zhou Yu. But according to the messenger, three people must have gone here before him.
