Lu Ren coaxed Cai Yan back to sleep with a relaxed face, but Lu Ren's heart was by no means relaxed. I wanted to call a few people over to discuss this matter, but one was that there was really no one around me who could help with advice, and the other was that many of Sima Yi's things were not suitable to say at all now, otherwise it might cause some unnecessary trouble, so Lu Ren could only give up.

The only person who can discuss it is Shirley, but Shirley is not good at this kind of intrigue, so Lu Renjue called Shirley to discuss this matter and it didn't have much effect, it was better to think about it here.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Lu Ren felt that he was losing money here because he knew too little information about Sima Yi, so he was in a situation of ignorance and passivity in this matter. Therefore, Lu Ren decided to sacrifice the procrastination trick to Zhang Chunhua first, and while gaining some time, he hurriedly tried to get some information...... There may be no need to think about it in Hanoi, but because there is a fixed Mi caravan in the Xuzhou area, no matter what, you should be able to get some information about Xuzhou.

So so, after Lu Ren said hello to the people at home, he sent someone to tell Zhang Chunhua that he had something to leave Yizhou Town temporarily, and it might take ten days and a half to come back, and asked Zhang Chunhua to play here in Yizhou Town for a while.

On the other hand, Zhang Chunhua roughly guessed Lu Ren's intentions, but because Zhang Chunhua didn't know that Lu Ren's precaution against the Sima clan was so heavy, he simply thought that Lu Ren wanted to collect some intelligence in order to take the initiative, and this was something that Zhang Chunhua had already expected, so he didn't say anything, anyway, Zhang Chunhua also planned to go around here in Yizhou, after all, what made Zhang Chunhua feel novel and curious here in Yizhou was not a little bit.

As a result, the two sides tacitly agreed not to meet for the time being......

――――――――――――――――――――

Northern. Yijing area.

At the time of the handover of the 10th and 11th years of Jian'an, it was also the cold season of heavy snow in the north. However, despite this snowy weather, in front of the camp gate of Cao Jun's camp, Guo Jia still stood here and looked outside the camp, as if waiting for something. It's really a little cold and unbearable, so Guo Jia will roast the fire in the brazier next to him to keep warm.

Finally waiting. The sound of horses' hooves outside the camp sounded, but it was a group of Cao Jun's men and horses who returned from outside the camp. Guo Jia saw that he hurriedly left the brazier, and beckoned to the general who led the army when the men and horses returned to the camp, and the general rushed to Guo Jia's side under his understanding:

"See Guo Sacrifice Wine!"

Guo Jia put his hands behind his back and swept the general with great interest before asking, "Have you been robbed of grain and grass again?" How many times have you been robbed? ”

The general responded: "It's the seventh time to go back to Guo to sacrifice wine." ”

Guo Jia groaned: "Seven times...... Once every two days, it has been half a month before I know it, and it has been almost a month since the lord sent troops to Yijing. The battle of Yi Jing is almost over...... These few times the grain and grass were robbed, how did Hu Qi behave? ”

The general recalled: "From the fourth time, those tribes who robbed grain and rode seemed to be mixed up a lot. The fourth and fifth times were just arguing about something, and the last two times have already started fighting. According to the following opinion, the first two times may be that there are too few people from a certain tribe, and they dare not do it alone. The last two times were equal in numbers, so they fought for the uneven distribution of food. ”

Guo Jia smiled and nodded: "Very good!" You've worked hard, go down and rest. Oh. You don't have to do this errand anymore, you take your men to your camp and stay there. When you're about the time to go back, it's time for you to get out of the anger that you've been robbed seven times. ”

The general retreated without mentioning it, Guo Jia rushed to another place and called the scout and asked, "How is the situation in the Hu cavalry camp?" ”

"It looks like it's detached. Many of the smaller tribes have left secretly, some wandering around Beiping, and some have gone to other places. According to the villain's calculations, there are about 6,000 Hu cavalry left in the camp outside the city. ”

With a wave of his hand, the scout stepped back. Guo Jia returned to the big tent with satisfaction and half-lay down on the couch, thinking to himself: "These Hu horsemen will come to the frontier to plunder before winter every year, in order to get more grain and grass for the winter. After the order, large and small tribes united to help Yuan Shang in one place, and there was originally a supply of grain and grass from Yuan Shang, and they all had food to eat and could be a little more harmonious. But the lord attacked Yuan Shang's granary a few times ago. After burning Yuan Shang's many grains, they had to think about their survival...... Hmph, want to help Yuan Shang fight against the lord? You also have to ask me if Guo Fengxiao agrees! ”

It's true that Bandon is the king of Karasuma, but the definition of this king is only that he is the strongest force in Karasuma, and can use the strength of his own clan to force other tribes to obey his orders, in other words, similar to the alliance leader. Now Crash is not here, there are not many descendants of Crash, and they can't attack the strong defense of Cao's camp, and the rations carried by the lightly armed Hu Rider themselves are unlikely to be a lot.

Look at the season is about to enter winter, many small tribes have to think about the survival of their own tribe, and in the end they get nothing, and the people in the tribe will continue to starve and freeze, who will want to do it? Where can these mentalities of the Hu riders escape Guo Jia's eyes? So Guo Jia set up a plan to send grain to differentiate according to the situation.

I have to say that Guo Jia's plan to send grain to divide Hu Qi is a bit ruthless, every time he asks the army to pretend to send food and then deliberately be robbed by Hu Cai, it can be regarded as sending a little grain and grass to Hu Qi to eat. To be honest, there is no enough food and grass to do anything, but because these more than 10,000 Hu Qi were originally united by many Karasuma tribes, people's hearts are not aligned at all. Today, this tribe grabbed that tribe but didn't have a share, this tribe sent more people, and the tribe with few people could only watch the tribe with more people transport all the grain trucks to their camp, and they naturally felt resentful in their hearts.

In just half a month, Guo Jia used up only a few thousand stones of grain and grass, but it made the more than 10,000 Hu cavalry who were in the confrontation with the Cao army here already in civil strife and had no intention of attacking the camp. Especially after the news spread that there would always be grain teams out of the city to transport grain and grass to other places in the Cao military camp, most of these Hu cavalry slept in the camp during the day, and when it was dark, they all came to wander around the city, hoping to meet the grain team that went out of the village to transport grain. Of course, the big tribes are a team of hundreds of people, and some small tribes that have not yet left have also secretly made alliances, and after discussing the proportion of the spoils, they gathered people to try their luck.

This is a plan that kills many birds with one stone. First of all, it naturally divided the little bit of unity that Hu Qi originally had, and even broke out into a small-scale infighting for the matter of grain and grass; Secondly, since Hu Qi is focused on food, he will have no intention of gathering again to capture the camp......

Maybe the Hu cavalry had the idea of directly laying down the camp to make a pot, but these people are selfish. First of all, the defense of Cao's army camp is solid, and they may not be able to fight it even if they fight hard and fight for nothing; Then they all counted on the other tribes to fight to the deaths and wounds, and they themselves preserved their strength so that they could finally seize the lion's share. Under the influence of this mentality, who wants to be the two hundred and five who make wedding dresses for others?

It is precisely because Guo Jia took advantage of the sincerity of the Hu cavalry tribes that it invisibly relieved the pressure of the Cao army's army to fight a tough battle to defend the city; And the most important point is that Guo Jia took advantage of Hu Qi's greedy mentality, and used only a few thousand stones of grain and grass to firmly tie most of the more than 10,000 Hu Qi near Beiping. It not only allowed Hu Cai not to make trouble for Cao Cao's rear who had other actions, but also created favorable conditions for Cao Cao to return to the division camp after defeating Yuan Shang and getting rid of these Hu Qi.

Habitually shaking the wine gourd with tea in his hand, Guo Jia pondered: "It has been almost a month since the master came out of the bias, and Yuan Shang's defeat will not cause accidents, the time should be about the same, right?" If the lord finds out about the situation here, he should be able to guess what I think in my heart, and according to the lord's mind, he will definitely send someone to inform me secretly, and the army will hide here. It's just that the news hasn't come for a long time, and I'm going to have a hard time timing here...... If it really doesn't work, then spend some more grain and grass and continue to drag these Hu cavalry horses here. ”

After pouring a few sips of hot tea, Guo Jia walked to the city wall and looked at Hu Ying. It was about to be dusk, and you could see the smoke curling in the Hu camp from a distance, but it was sparse, it seemed that some camps had food to eat, and some camps had no rice to cook. Guo Jia sneered a few times and ordered the soldiers: "Strictly monitor the movements of the Hu cavalry, and if the Hu cavalry has a siege of the city, shoot me hard!" The night patrol soldiers cheered up, and if they were found to be lazy while patrolling the city, they would be killed! ”

After pouring a few more sips of tea, Guo Jia sprayed it all on the ground and scolded: "Bah, this tea is too bitter, and it is so thick!" Alas, let's go back and rest for a while, it's been so cold lately, and my body is really a little uncomfortable. ”

A Yuan Jun soldier next to him quietly asked Cao Bing beside him: "This brother, didn't you say that Guo Sai is not happy without wine, and he is addicted to alcohol?" Why is his gourd filled with tea? ”

Cao Bing whispered: "You don't know this, Lord Guo is a good wine, but he really doesn't drink a drop of wine when he leads the troops to fight......

――――――――――――――――――――

The next morning, Guo Jia had just come to the north gate of the camp, and before he had climbed the tower, a small school handed over an arrow book to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia untied the silk bundle on the arrow and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile on his face: "It's finally here, it's finally here!" ”

Putting the arrow book in his arms, Guo Jia said loudly: "Prepare the horse!" Come with me to the South Gate! ”

Just after noon, the dust outside the south gate of Beiping City was blowing, and a troop of about 3,000 horsemen appeared in Guo Jia's sight. The first general went to the city gate and shouted, "Where is the Guo sacrifice wine?" ”

Guo Jia lay on the battlement wall, supported his head with one hand, and responded with a cynical prodigal son: "Wenyuan is so slow!" I'm almost asleep! ”

Zhang Liao saw Guo Jia's expression and couldn't laugh or cry, but just shook his head.

"Open the south gate and ask General Zhang to enter the city quickly!" (To be continued.) )
