In the first year of Jian'an - November, the Han Dynasty had three things: first, the Yellow Turban of Montenegro rebelled, capturing the city along the way, killing officials, and coercing the people.

Second, Cao Cao issued a decree in the name of the little emperor: reprimanded the general - Yuan Shao, who was unfavorable to govern the people and had no way to unify the army, resulting in local erosion and mis......ery, and appointed Xiahoudun as the general of Pingbei, commanding 100,000 heavy troops, stationed along the Yellow River, called to guard against thieves, in fact, to deter Hebei, and the war between the two sides was imminent!

Third, Da Sima - Wuwu Xianghou - Xiao Yi, suddenly fell ill, and it was difficult to lead the soldiers and horses, so he had to stay in bed to recuperate for a period of time, and at the same time close the door of the mansion and did not see any outsiders!

Xiao Yi is a famous general in the world, leading the army to fight, never defeated, but also a thorn in the eye of all princes, a thorn in the flesh, I don't know how many spies have been sent to monitor his every move, now suddenly sick, closed the door to thank customers, the world can't help but talk about it, all of a sudden, all kinds of news flying all over the sky, true and false are difficult to distinguish!

The statement given by the imperial court: Da Sima fought for many years, became ill from hard work, and the arrow sores on his waist recovered, which damaged his vitality, so he had to recuperate for a while and ignore military affairs for the time being!

The officials said privately: Xiao Yi became the Great Sima, but he was promoted and surrendered secretly, and the military power was seized, and he was dissatisfied, so he pretended to be sick and couldn't get out, so he wanted to give the Prime Minister's Mansion a little color, secretly contact the old department, and prepare to mutiny and seize power......

In addition, there is also a folk saying: Xiao Yi is newly married Yan'er, and his wife is a big beauty, she can't control it for a while, night and night, she accidentally got a 'wind immediately', so she has to take a tonic decoction, and she can't get close to a woman within 100 days, otherwise she will worry about her life!

There are three different statements, the first one is not believed, the official news is never reliable, and whoever believes it is a fool; The second one is more reasonable, and the princes of all parties also agree, and they are ready to add fuel to the fire, let Xiao and Cao fight among themselves, and the blood of the killing will flow like a river, and they can also profit from it!

However, what the people like to talk about the most is the third statement, the people have a gossip heart, political conspiracy, fighting for power and profit is not interesting, or 'immediately wind' is more appetizing, Xuchang's Qinglou Chu Pavilion also made up 'Xiao Lang night battle, throw away the armor' and other romantic songs, sung day and night, and are very popular with the guests......

"Hehe, the people's ability to spread rumors is powerful enough, it's only been a few days, and so many versions have been circulated, saying that they have noses and eyes, even I almost believe it!"

Wuwu Hou Mansion - Back House, Xiao Yi lay on the soft couch, while tasting wine, listening to the situation report, from time to time a few chuckles, those romantic jokes, even more relish, to be honest, he also has a gossip heart!

Xiao Yi's health is very good, he is neither sick nor injured, he can eat several bowls of rice at a meal, and the sexual affairs are also very harmonious, and there is no problem with the number of girls at night, as for pretending to be sick, it is just a matter of covering people's eyes and ears, and many of the rumors circulating outside are made up by themselves!

The purpose of this is naturally to fish in troubled waters, more precisely, Xiao Yi is going to Hebei, taking advantage of the Yellow Turban thieves to make a mess and Yuan Jun to take care of himself, coerce the population, cross the Yellow River in the south, and hollow out the family of the general-Yuan Shao!

In order to do this, in addition to careful planning, how to arrange manpower is also very important!

It is impossible to mobilize the army, one: the target is too big, the action is inconvenient, and it will also cause the vigilance of the Hebei group, if the two sides fight, with the current strength of the Cao Ying group, the odds of victory are not too great!

Second: The army has been fighting for many years, and the soldiers are already very tired, and the most elite Xuanjia iron cavalry also needs to expand the number of men and horses, and take a good rest before they can go out on the battlefield!

The army could not be dispatched, Xiao Yi had to lead a team of men and horses, mixed into the territory of Hebei, and then won by stratagem, he always believed in a truth, although the embroidery needle is small, as long as it is used by the master, it can also kill people, for example: 'The sun rises in the east, only I am undefeated!' ’

After repeated thinking, Xiao Yi decided on the candidate for the expedition:

Cao Jie must be brought, the two newlywed Yan'er, it is the time when the glue is like paint, let the lady stay alone in the empty room, Xiao Yi can't bear it, besides, Cao Jie has lived in the prime minister's mansion for several years, and has never stepped out of Xuchang City, take this opportunity to have a good time!

Zhen Mi also has to bring it, since people have followed her, abandoned their family and business, and stayed away from their relatives, they have been paying ...... without regrets, and it is reasonable for Xiao Yi to accompany her to Yecheng, meet the Zhen clan, give gifts, and fulfill the responsibility of a son-in-law!

Xiao Jing, Zhao Yu, Lu Ling'er, and Daoxiang The four little witches also have to accompany them, if you don't bring a few of them, Xiao Yi may not even be able to get out of the gate, in addition, there are a few little girls in the team, which can play a certain role in covering and better confuse the enemy's sight!

There is also Guo Yi, this kid has thick skin and a black belly, has a strong ability to deal with it, pretends to be a dragon like a dragon, pretends to be a tiger, and is a natural good actor, taking this opportunity to hone it and reuse it in the future!

In the end, Xiaobin and Cao Xing led three hundred pro-soldiers to escort the safety, of course, these pro-soldiers are carefully selected, and they must be strong in martial arts, smart and clever, and it is best to be born in the four states of Hebei, be familiar with the road, and be proficient in dialects!

The soldiers are not many but fine, these people have a certain command ability, in other words, this is 300 reserve officers, the ancients said: 'A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is difficult to find', with a wise commander like Xiao Yi, and a grassroots officer, are you afraid that you can't recruit thousands of troops?

is still the same sentence - 'a spark can start a prairie fire', three hundred people and horses are brought out, as long as they are carefully planned, it will not take long to become 30,000 people, or even 300,000 people, Xiao Yi is very confident that the Taizu of the Red Dynasty in later generations will not rely on hundreds of guns to rise, and people can lay down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and they can't hold some people together?

Under the order, the Hou Mansion immediately got busy, traveled thousands of miles, went deep into the tiger's den, the slightest carelessness is the end of the corpse and bones, if you want to be safe, the preparations must be done, and concealing your whereabouts is the top priority!

It is not easy to change the appearance, from vehicles, horses, tents, armor, blades, bows and arrows, ...... to clothes, boots, jade pendants, hairpins, rice bowls, chopsticks, ......, everything that you carry with you is replaced with folk products, and no trace of Cao Ying can be left, but fortunately, the soldiers under him have experience and everything is carried out in an orderly manner......

There is also the problem of the marching route, from Xuchang to Yecheng, the most convenient way is to go north, cross the Yellow River, pass through Liyang, about half a month, you can reach the destination, but there is a heavy defense of the Yuan army along the Yellow River, and the inventory is extremely strict to prevent Cao Ying's fine work from mixing up!

After thinking about it again and again, Xiao Yi decided to give up going north, go west instead, enter the Guanzhong area, and then go north to merge with the state, then return to Jizhou in the east, and finally arrive at Yecheng, so that it turns into a big circle, the road is farther, but it can ensure safety!

In addition, everyone's names should also be changed, Cao Jie and Zhen Mi are ladies, Xiao Jing, Lu Ling'er, Zhao Yu, and Daoxiang are maids, Guo Yi is Xiao Si, Xiao Bin and Cao Xing are the leaders of the guards, and the rest are caravan guards, as for Xiao Yi......

"The big treasurer, the guys are ready, the team can come out at any time!" Xiao Bin, who was dressed in a strong suit, walked over, his tone was very respectful, but he was doing a folk salute, it seems that he has entered the role!

"Hehe, I have been in business for many years, and my brother has finally become a big shopkeeper from a young man, it's not easy...... Tell the guys to go out in batches after dark, and to meet fifty miles west of the city, and to be careful not to alarm anyone! ”

Xiao Yi changed into a Xishu brocade robe, with a red gold hairpin on his head, a gold lock on his neck, a gold ribbon around his waist, a diamond bracelet on his wrist, and gold threads embroidered on his boots.

"The big shopkeeper, the queen house is ready, and she can come out at any time!"

The four little witches all changed into maid costumes, walked one by one with the wind, extremely excited, with their fear of the world not chaotic temperament, this trip to Hebei, it is simply a big game, and my heart has long been happy!

Cao Jie's surface is calm, but his eyes are like sea water, the tide rises and falls, ups and downs, for several years, she has never stepped out of Xuchang City, and now she can travel thousands of miles and see the scenery and beauty of various places, for this seventeen-year-old Mrs. Sima, it is simply a temptation!

As for Zhen Mi, her eyes were already shining, and she trembled with excitement, as a woman, who doesn't want to go back to her parents' home accompanied by her husband, because of political reasons, this wish has not been realized, and it is about to become the heart disease of this 'rich girl'!

Well, this time, Xiao Yi is not far away, deep into the tiger's den, and she has to fulfill her long-cherished wish, with such a considerate husband, Zhen Mijue is the happiest woman!

There is a cloud in the Book of Poetry: 'Vote for me with papaya, repay it with Qiong Yao', Zhen Mi first threw out a wink, then stretched out a finger like an onion, gently put it to his mouth, stretched out his little tongue and added a few times, the temptation was incomparable......

After receiving the hint from his wife, Xiao Yi almost fell on his head, gentle and virtuous - like a fairy-like 'Luoshen', he can also play with temptation, and he is blessed tonight......

"The order came out, and I went straight to Hebei...... The shopkeeper is going to make a lot of money! ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………

At midnight, fifty miles west of Xuchang City, the team had gathered, Xiao Yi personally checked it, and after confirming that there were no problems, he waved his big hand, and the team slowly entered westward!

At the same time, a caravan recognized the flag held high, and on the four-foot-wide cyan flag, a fat dragon, with short limbs and a round head, was drawn with a fat body, short limbs, and a round head, holding a pot helmet on its small paws, fluttering in the wind, extremely cute!

With his wife and sister, holding high the 'Fat Dragon Pot Helmet Flag', the handsome and invincible Xiao Yi brother has reappeared in the rivers and lakes...... Walking!
