667.Chapter 667 The fourth general of Cao Wei returned to the barracks
"You guys. . . How can you kill innocents indiscriminately. Seeing the sergeant in front of him constantly killing the people in the village, those who were still alive couldn't help but scream with accusation. But for the accusations of these people, these red-eyed sergeants did not listen to their hearts, but became even more raging.
In order to solve the mess in front of him as soon as possible, Guan Yu couldn't help but order again: "Quickly solve these Cao Jun lackeys, and don't let go of a single living mouth." That is, Guan Yu raised and fell with his hand, and killed a pair of mother and son in front of him with a slash. When the mother and son fell, Guan Yu didn't even look at them, and directly swung his knife and pounced on the next target.
Although there were more than 100 villagers in the entire village, Guan Yu also brought hundreds of cavalry this time, and after these cavalry killed the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, they began to disperse and rush into the homes of various villagers to slaughter. Many people are still asleep, and some hunters or prime people want to resist, but honestly, where are these cavalry opponents who are proud of killing the enemy, and they all end up in the same fate.
Finally, after some slaughter, the whole village fell into silence again, and Guan Yu stood in the village and watched the cavalry under his command complete the killing task, and all gathered here. I only heard Guan Yu say: "Search every corner of the house immediately, bring all the food that can be brought, even the food in some cellars should not be left behind." ”
After Guan Yu's second military order was issued, hundreds of sergeants began to search for food, and every house, the poultry in the enclosure, and the food stored in the cellar were all scavenged. After being sure that there was no trace left, Guan Yu led the men and horses to gallop away with enough food and returned directly to the camp of Army B.
And just as Guan Yu led the soldiers and horses away, he saw a haystack in the bleak village that had been slaughtered moving slightly, and two figures rushed out of it, like a team of young couples. The two of them were about to sleep, but when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they put on their clothes and came out of the house to watch, but fortunately, they only came out of the courtyard to watch, and did not gather in the village to meet the sergeants like the rest of the villagers. Just when Guan Yu gave the order and made people do it, the screams of the people made the two of them couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly shouted that the family members were fleeing, the woman wanted to hide in the house, but the fierce man took the woman's hand and ran to a haystack in the village and got in.
The lucky couple hid in the haystack, and with a faint line of sight, they could only watch ghostly figures scurrying back and forth in the village. Every time they approached the door of a village, they had to rush in to burn and loot, and the homes of the two were no exception. After the two called for their families to flee, the brother and sister-in-law and father who had just been woken up from their sleep at home were killed by the officers and soldiers who arrived before they could come out of the house. If it weren't for the man desperately covering the woman's mouth, I'm afraid the timid woman would have screamed. The two of them hid in the haystack and did not dare to come out, until the soldiers slaughtered the villagers, and then scraped every household and left completely, the two of them came out of the haystack, and their bodies were already frightened into a cold sweat, looking at the four people around them, the two immediately rushed home, watching their relatives die tragically in front of them, the two couldn't help but hug their heads and cry, "These damn officers and soldiers actually killed the villagers for no reason, I must avenge this revenge." ”
It was said that after Guan Yu and the other cavalry successfully harvested a lot of grain, they galloped all the way back to the camp, and Fazheng, who was full of concern, heard the sound of horses' hooves and hurriedly ran out of the tent to watch. When he saw Guan Yu and the other soldiers, and a few sacks of food hanging on each of their horses, Fa Zheng's heart finally felt better. Feeling the killing intent on Guan Yu's body, Fa Zheng was reluctant to ask too much, just because the smart Fa Zheng had already guessed the fate of those villagers, and Fa Zheng only hoped that the sacrifice of these people could become a stepping stone for the lord to complete the great cause.
Although Guan Yu killed a lot this time, I have to say that Guan Yu has indeed made a great contribution, Fa Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him: "General Guan has really worked hard all the way, hurry back to the tent to rest and rest." ”
"Well, military advisor, please don't worry, today's incident is about a certain person personally leading the soldiers and horses forward, and there will be no future troubles, and this matter is done quietly." As soon as Guan Yu's voice fell, he ignored Fa Zheng's slightly trembling appearance, and then turned to the cavalry behind him and said: "Today's matter, if anyone mentions it to the outside world, Guan Mou, no matter what his identity, will be killed on the grounds of revealing military discipline." For Guan Yu's warning and reminder, all the soldiers hugged their fists at him slightly, and then dispersed, smart people are always people who talk less, as the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will lose.
Early in the morning of the second day, the men in the army began to cook their lives, and the soldiers in the battalion were attracted by the fragrant smell early. As early as the day before, it was rumored in the army that the army's grain, grass and military tents had been burned down due to the enemy's sneak attack, so that the amount of food that everyone ate that day had been reduced by half, and it was even rumored that one meal would be reduced the next day. There were complaints from top to bottom about this, but they didn't want the delicious smell to come early in the morning, and the fragrance wafted throughout the camp, tempting everyone in the camp.
From the aroma, it is not difficult to guess that there is meat and other delicacies inside, and everyone serves the food in the bowl until the meal is served, and it is not until they taste it for themselves that they are convinced of all this. Afterwards, some curious gossip people began to inquire about the source of this food, and those who were slightly excited couldn't help but whisper: It was convenient to get up in the middle of the night last night, and saw General Guan leading a team of men and horses out of the village fully armed, and after about an hour or two, I heard a sound of horses' hooves coming back, and saw that General Guan's team of men and horses came back with a full load of things, and there were still a lot of blood stains on everyone's body, so I guess that last night General Guan must have led soldiers and horses to raid Cao's nearby garrison and plundered a lot of food.
After one person gossiped, it suddenly spread throughout the army, and it turned out that the food in the camp was plundered by General Guan's raid on the enemy camp late at night. In the end, it turned out that Guan Yu led more than 100 horsemen late at night, raided the camp of the enemy army and plundered a lot of grain, and in order to avenge the enemy's arrow, he burned all the enemy's grain and grass with a fire. As a result, more people can't help but worship Guan Yu, and Guan Yu's carelessness in Jingzhou has long been forgotten by everyone. And when Guan Yu heard that the sergeants below were touting him, he naturally enjoyed it very much, and he didn't confirm the truth of those things, and let everyone spread and worship.
Although Guan Yu and the others did not plunder much grain and grass this time, it was enough for the entire army to support for a day or two, and then someone rushed to the camp to inform him that Liu Bei had already transported tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass. Immediately, the whole camp was cheering, with this enough grain and grass, the army can go all out and continue to fight with the enemy, with this grain and grass, the army can continue to advance and attack the enemy.
Let's say that Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Zhang He, Xu Huang and other generals, after destroying the supplies that could not be held in the camp, all evacuated and went to the garrison of the army. When everyone came to the land of the army, they found that the army was all gathered here, and Sima Yi, Xu Chu, Cao Hong and other generals were all here, and the army had no sign of attacking at all. For this reason, the four of them couldn't help but be puzzled, and Xiahoudun couldn't help but ask: "Didn't the military advisor say before, let me wait as a bait to lure Liu Bei's army to attack, and then the military advisor led the army to make a detour to the rear to besiege the enemy?" But why have we been fighting with the enemy so far, and we have not seen any movement of our army. ”
In the face of Xiahoudun's questioning, Sima Yi did not seem to have any panic, but a calm face, a smile, and said with a smile at Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, and Xu Huang behind him: "Several generals don't know, originally Sima Yi wanted to lead the army to the front to besiege the enemy, but he received news that Liu Bei suddenly wrote to Zhuge Liang and sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Yizhou to Hanzhong, and the army was connected from front to back, end to end, so that our army had no chance to launch a sneak attack and siege on the enemy. ”
After Sima Yi finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and then spoke again: "Besides, the enemy generals are powerful all over the world, and there are only a few generals in our army who are famous and can hold their feet. As a result, the two generals Xiahoudun and Xu Huang did not listen to the orders of the army, and led the soldiers and horses to the two camps to support alone, so that there were no other generals in our army to lead, how to resist the attack of the enemy generals. Therefore, Sima Yi would rather miss the opportunity than take the army that King Wei had worked so hard to build, otherwise once these forces are damaged, it will be a blow to the King of Wei to establish the world in the future, and the generals still don't blame me. ”
Sima Yi said this, but it made everyone speechless, and it was indeed the best excuse to focus on the overall situation, even if Xiahoudun had a lot of anger in his heart, but he couldn't refute Sima Yi's words. And Zhang He and Xu Huang on the side were even more silent, but in their hearts, they greeted Sima Yi up and down.
Faced with Sima Yi's words, Zhang He suddenly asked: "According to the words of the military advisor, this time the enemy army is so vigorous, and the land of Dingjun Mountain has been captured by the enemy, what is the next step for the military advisor?" ”
"Now that the enemy has captured Dingjun Mountain in one fell swoop, it can be said that the morale has risen greatly, and if our army wants to fight with it, it is really unclear. Therefore, Sima Yi decided to lead the army to retreat temporarily, and after the enemy army avoided the edge afterwards, he came to recapture the land of Dingjun Mountain to avenge the revenge of an arrow, but I don't know what the generals wanted. After speaking, Sima Yi looked at everyone with a smile.
