The camp of the Gaoyuan Army, the horse shed area.

"Eat well, raise enough strength, and kill the enemy in the future!" The stables took care of the horses and spoke to them more carefully than with their children. He came to a separate shed, with only three horses, and could not help but show concern and poured better horse feed into the manger.

Looking back here, he saw Gao Yuan, and the stableman hurriedly knelt down, "Lord! He was thrilled, for he had never been so close to the lord.

Gao Yuan's status is a high-ranking lord, but he is approachable at the bottom of his heart. The great leaders of later generations are close to the people, and they take whatever frame they have. So he himself walked over and helped the stable.

The stables were excited, incoherent, and never left their work.

Gao Yuan then said: "These horses, have diarrhea?" ”

The horse herd blamed himself and said: "It's the villain who didn't take care of it well, please punish the lord." ”

Gao Yuan glanced at him unhappily and said, "How can you say that, you are in charge of hundreds of horses alone, and it is normal for a few of them to be sick." ”

The horse herd was grateful, and said in his heart that he had followed Yuan Benchu before, and when a horse was sick, the official would take the opportunity to find trouble, or the lord Shengming.

"Good, good, that's it." Takato turned and left.

The stables were a little dumbfounded, I don't know what Gao Yuan is talking about, how is it rare, and it's also a good thing?

Even Xu Shu was a little stunned and followed Gao Yuan back.

When he returned to the big tent, Gao Yuan sat down in a handsome position, and raised a glass to drink tea, Xu Shu opened his mind and said loudly: "What a plan!" ”

Gao Yuan shuddered and almost deducted the tea. The heart said that the situation of the god horse was shocked.

Xu Shu was very excited, and saluted: "The lord has a clever plan." I can't do it either. ”

Gao Yuan said while drinking tea: "Then tell me, what is my master's plan?" ”

Xu Shu immediately opened his mind and said, "Our army is full of cavalry, Cao Cao knows about this." The cavalry practiced the cavalry formation, and the infantry formation was not refined, so it relied heavily on horsepower. If you dismount, your combat effectiveness will be sharply reduced. You can ask Sima Junshi to inform Cao Mengde. It is said that the horses and horses were all sick because of this. ”

Xu Shu was very excited in front of the clever plan. "However, Cao Mengde is not a master who is easy to fool, so he needs to create an illusion, so he uses horse manure." With the ability of Cao Cao and his men, take a look at horse manure. I know that the belly of the horse is ....... ”

However, Xu Shu's voice became lower and lower, and finally stopped talking.

Although Gao Yuan thought the same, he was enjoying listening to it, and suddenly it was gone, and he couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you say it?" ”

I saw Xu Shu frowning and said, "But this plan requires a lot of thin horse manure, we don't have so many sick horses, and it's hard to find ......." ”

High and dark music.

At this time, Zhou Cang on the side suddenly said: "This is not simple. Take the hard horse manure and mix it in the water, and it will become thin horse manure. ”

Xu Shu's eyes immediately turned round. "That's right!" Then he slapped the face, "That's it!" ”

Gao Yuan laughed, and said in his heart that Yuan Zhi had read too many books of knowledge, and Zhou Cang, who did not have thick lines for a while, thought quickly. He patted the case, "That's it, go prepare." ”

When I am happy. Xu Shu reminded: "My lord, there is also Cao Jun in Hedong. ”

Gao Yuan smiled. After thinking for a while, he said: "Order Sima Yi to quickly send this plan, and then order Deng Zhi to hold on to Hedong, my side repelled Cao Cao's main force, so I joined him and surrounded and annihilated the soldiers and horses entering Hedong." ”

Xu Shu thought about it, after repelling Cao Cao, he would be able to surround the Cao army that had entered Hedong, and at this moment, if he divided his troops in advance, it would not be good.

In the early morning, Hanoi County, Sima Mansion.

After Sima Yi got the news, he was overjoyed, "The lord's clever plan, I can't do it!" Go find Cao Cao's messenger! ”

After a while, when Cao Cao's envoy entered, Sima Yi looked seriously injured, lying on the bed, covered in blood-soaked white cloth, and said weakly: "Go and tell Cao Gong that I already have a plan." Let Cao Gong send it quickly according to the plan, I ...... I'm afraid I can't, cough cough cough ....... ”

After he finished speaking, he coughed, covered his mouth and released it, coughed up a hand of blood, crackling and falling down.

This dying-ready appearance is not difficult for Sima Yi, the "Best Actor" of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Son!" Sima Fang's call came from outside the door.

"Second brother!" and the lamentations of the brethren.

Sima Yizheng said that he would clean up after sending the messenger away, after all, his whole body was covered with chicken blood, and he was very uncomfortable, and his face changed when he heard it. The heart said that before Cao Cao left, he couldn't stop, so he had to continue to pretend.

Seeing that all the horses of the Sima family came, it turned out that they were worried about Sima Yi's injury and couldn't sleep.

"This Gao Mengyan, who killed a thousand knives, look at my son's fight, woo woo woo ....... Vomit~. Sima Fang didn't come up in one breath, fainted, and there was a big chaos in the room.

Cao Cao's envoy was startled, took the letter here, and hurriedly slipped away.

Sima Yi's henchmen couldn't help but praise: "Adults have good acting skills, and everyone believes them." ”

Who knew that Sima Yi, who was closed-minded, had other thoughts, he had been deceiving whoever he wanted since he was young, but there was only one who did not deceive.

……

Early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, Cao Cao crawled out of the quilt and washed his face and brushed his teeth.

Snoring, Cao Cao rinsed his mouth.

"Lord, the messenger has returned from Sima Yi!" Outside the tent, Xu Chu raised his voice.

Cao Cao was thinking about this, and as soon as he heard the words, he swallowed his mouthwash. He rinsed his mouth all his life, and the first time he swallowed it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he felt as uncomfortable as a wall in his stomach. However, he still had to hold back, so he wiped his mouth, and when he walked out, he said, "Quickly pass Guo Jia, Xun You, and Cheng Yu!" ”

When Cao Cao carefully inquired about the situation of the envoy, the three arrived. Cao Cao finally asked, "Is Sima Yi really dying?" ”

The envoy was very sure: "I have already vomited blood, when I came, Sima Fang and others were there, seeing that Sima Yi was no longer good, the old Sima Fang fell into a coma many times, and the remaining brothers were crying one by one." ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel sad, and after waving his hand to send the messenger away, he showed Sima Yi's letter to Guo Jia and others, and sighed: "It's a pity that Sima Yi is talented." But he is going to die young. Gao Mengyan is ruthless enough, eighty military sticks, not to mention Sima Yi. It is estimated that Gao Mengyan himself can't stand it. ”

Heavenly predictions, all kinds of man-made signs, made Cao Cao and their advisers convinced.

Cheng Yu was worried: "Don't die early, wait for Sima Yi to arrange the medicine!" ”

Xun You said: "Sima Zhongda's move is good, not for people, only for horses, and it is impossible to prevent it." Gao Mengyan must have hit the plan. ”

Guo Jia finally nodded and reminded: "Let the horse belly." The tall army has lost at least half of its combat strength, but it is necessary to be careful and wait for the signs before moving forward. ”

This is a sign. Cao Cao, who has been in the army for many years, understands that first of all, Gao Yuan suddenly retreated.

On the other hand, the side of the high army.

Gao Yuan received news from Sima Yi on the afternoon of this day, and Cao Cao agreed to this strategy. Finally, Sima Yi wished Gao Yuan a complete victory.

Gao Yuan immediately issued an order to secretly collect horse manure. Three extra-large tents were also erected, and hundreds of people were gathered every day, covering their mouths and noses with cloths. Stir the horse manure in the big urn.

Gao Yuan also came to inspect from time to time, and inspected: "Mix it well, it's best if it's not thin or thick!" "He was burned to the ground. Turning around, he said, "I'll withdraw first." ”

The lord can withdraw, but he doesn't dare to withdraw, but he works harder, and his heart says that if he does a good job, he can withdraw.

After working overtime, I was able to live on the afternoon of the second day.

At this time. Gao Yuan was in the big tent, surrounded by a sand table. Discuss the location of the ambush with Xu Shu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others.

Finally, the "Yewang" twenty miles north of Daying was determined to be the ambush site, that is, near Xinxiang, Henan in later generations. There is the remnant vein of the Taihang Mountain here, and the mountain can shelter the large-scale cavalry and prevent it from being exposed prematurely.

After a while, Gao Yuan officially issued a military order, ordering Zhang Liao to lead 10,000 cavalry to ambush in the west of Yewang, and Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 cavalry to ambush in the east. And Gao Yuan himself led the Chinese army to make a false impression of retreat, leading Cao Cao to chase after him.

"What about me?" Zhou Cang asked for battle and said anxiously.

Gao Yuan said solemnly: "Zhou Cang, your task is the most important, without you, Cao Cao will never chase after you!" ”

Zhou Cang was overjoyed and bowed: "Lord, what task do you give me?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "Scatter horse manure." And with that, he was happy.

Everyone was secretly happy together, but Zhou Cang was dumbfounded, but this was indeed the most important task, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the lord guarantees to complete the task!" ”

Zhou Cang's assurance made everyone put away their smiles, and they couldn't help but admire him very much for taking on such an important "task".

Gao Yuan said solemnly: "This is indeed very important, Zhou Cang, do you know how to scatter horse manure?" ”

Zhou Cang scratched his head and shook his head.

"I'll give you five thousand soldiers and horses to spread dung. There should be intervals, one pile after another, stretching out. This can prove that the war horses of our army are constantly having diarrhea, and you can go to the stables to learn from them. Gao Yuan frowned, and said: "It is also very important to deceive Cao Mengde, Zhou Cang, let your soldiers and horses hide their feces secretly, don't show the horse's feet, and secretly scatter them!" ”

Even Xu Shu couldn't help but admire Gao Yuan's meticulousness. In this way, it was possible to deceive Cao Jun's Tanma, after all, the enemy's Tanma could not be approached. As long as the splash is slightly hidden, the effect can be achieved.

Zhao Yun reminded at this moment: "Lord, if you are afraid that when you retreat, Cao Mengde will immediately pursue. ”

Immediately pursue, and you will not be able to enter the ambush site.

However, Gao Yuan smiled and said: "It's okay, Cao Gong will definitely chase after he is sure and confirmed, at that time, the time is just right!" ”

The crowd could not help but be convinced.

The next day, when the fourth watch was about to dawn, Gao Yuan began to retreat. Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun went first, Gao Yuan was in the middle, and Zhou Cang Hall was full of camp tents and horse manure, which should not be called "splashing", it should be called "point", a beach of points, a beach, very vivid.

The people were boiling and the horses neighed, which immediately alarmed Cao Jun to explore the horses.

Cao Jun didn't dare to get close to the horses, and saw Gao Yuan's soldiers and horses out of the camp from a distance, but what made them strange was that Gao Yuan's cavalry did not ride horses, but all pulled their horses away.

Two quarters of an hour later.

"Report! Lord, the Gao Yuan army retreated, and they didn't ride horses, they all pulled their horses away! ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, suddenly got up, and laughed: "Sima Zhongda has succeeded!" Pass my orders, assemble the whole army, and prepare to march! (To be continued)
