As an army that is isolated and has no foundation, the only thing that can be done is to retreat as soon as possible.

Li Dian and Le Jin didn't expect Gao Yuan to come so quickly, they knew that it was very likely that they would not be able to outrun Gao Yuan's cavalry, but they could only retreat.

The two decided to retreat from the Hedong Ferry, although it was difficult to find boats, but they could withdraw as much as they could.

The two didn't have time to care about the troops who had already captured the county, so they took the 7,000 Cao troops under the county town and moved out, and the whole army retreated.

On the city of Hedong County, Deng Zhi was very excited, waved his arms and shouted: "The lord is here, the enemy has retreated, all my Hedong sons, those who have aspirations, greet the lord with me, and go out of the city to chase the enemy!" ”

That's really one person raising his arms, and ten thousand people responding.

When the gates opened, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians poured out. Deng Zhi did not pursue the enemy alone, but divided into several teams and went to the county seat captured by Cao's army.

Li Dian and Le Jin led the infantry, but they couldn't outrun the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou, and when they were still more than ten miles away from the Yellow River, they were caught up by 20,000 cavalry from Gao Yuan.

If you are attacked from behind by cavalry, you will definitely die.

"Formation, formation!" Li Dian and Le Jin could only stop and list the square array, with the spearmen forming a horse-like spear formation outside, and the archers inside.

However, Gao Yuan did not attack Cao Jun at the first time, but waved his hand, "Fence up!" ”

Under the frightened eyes of the Cao soldiers, the wolf rider drew a graceful arc, and when the two wings docked, the encirclement was completed. When the wolf dust dispersed, a larger circular array enveloped Cao Jun's square array.

At this time, Deng Zhi also rushed to help with the soldiers and civilians.

In the garrison of the county town, the common people exerted great strength. At this time, Gao Yuan's army had already occupied an overwhelming advantage, and in fact, it no longer needed the help of the people.

But Gao Yuan could not chill the hearts of the people, so he ordered the cavalry to make some space for the people to join in the encirclement. This is also the meaning of taking the cooperation of the military and the people to defend the homeland.

Civilians with clubs and hoes appeared in the middle of the mighty cavalry procession. It has become a unique landscape.

The people were impassioned because they had their own army around them. And the morale of the soldiers was high, because they were affirmed by their fathers and fellow villagers.

Li Dian and Le Jin, who were surrounded, for the people who suddenly appeared. I was amazed.

Gao Yuan rode forward alone, about fifty meters in front of the two of them, he pointed to the people around him, and said, "These people have lived here for generations. Former. Cao Mengde did not bring them a good life. Now, they've only had a good life for a few days, and you're here again. ”

Gao Yuan's voice gradually rose up, "Ask yourselves, what are you fighting valiantly for?" Is it for the sake of greater power for the dignitaries, or for your family to live a good life from now on? ”

It's easy to understand, why fight?

The soldiers of the Cao army looked at each other, and their guard quickly eased a lot, and the tip of the spear that stood up was lowered without any opinion. With the exception of a few officers, the soldiers were all from bitter cold families. It is better to be a soldier in order to be able to eat a full stomach, or to be able to make a meritorious service and become an official. But there is no one in ten thousand, and the soldiers know it.

Gao Yuan's words resonated with too many of them, "If the whole family can live a good life, I will fight to the death." ”

Gao Yuan hung up the halberd and said solemnly: "Put down your arms, I swear here that I will never embarrass you." ”

For Cao Jun, the situation is irreversible, and continuing to fight is the end of death. These soldiers, who fought for no reason, were at the bottom of the valley. Many soldiers involuntarily. He put down his weapon.

Li Dian and Le Jin glanced at each other, they are both good generals who love soldiers like children, and in the face of the current predicament, they will continue to fight. It is a waste of soldiers' lives, and there is no meaning at all.

When Chang~.

Li Dian threw down the spear in his hand and said, "General Gao, I will lay down my arms, but I will never surrender, I will kill or chop." Listen to it. ”

When Chang~.

Le Jin also dropped the knife and said, "Yes, we will never surrender." ”

"Long live General Gao!" The people cheered.

What followed was the cheers of the three armies. And in this call, the Cao soldiers dropped their weapons one after another and hung their heads. They suddenly found out that they no longer knew why they were fighting. And when they saw the victory of the military and civilians hand in hand, they seemed to have a comprehension.

A day later, Hanoi County, Sima Province.

Sima Yi was overjoyed and entered the hall, and in the hall, including his father Sima Fang, all the horses were there, except for Sima Jin, who was imprisoned.

When everyone saw Sima Yi, it was as if they had seen a ghost. Old Sima Fang exclaimed: "Zhongda, how are you? ”

Sima Yi smiled: "This is a bitter plan!" ”

Sima Fang didn't hear it when he came up, and hurriedly greeted: "Bitter meat plan, Cao Sikong won!" ”

Sima Yi laughed, and all the horses laughed. However, Sima Yi said: "The lord won a complete victory and annihilated 45,000 Cao Mengde, and Cao Mengde only led 5,000 defeated troops and retreated to the south of the Yellow River. ”

Suddenly, the horses' smiles were gone, and they opened their mouths stupidly, looking at Sima Yi like frightened statues.

Or Lao Sima, the first one closed his mouth, plucked out his old ears, and said, "Zhongda, what are you talking about, Gao Mengyan won?" ”

Sima Yi smiled: "Yes, my lord has won!" ”

Sima Fang only thought that he had seen the monster, and shouted, "What are you happy about Gao Mengyan winning?" However, he quickly realized that he suddenly showed fear, "Zhong Zhong Zhong ...... Atta, don't you ....... ”

"Not bad!" Sima Yi smiled, and said with a serious face: "It is absolutely impossible for Cao Mengde to use a divisive strategy to separate the child from the lord and the master, and to plot against the child. The child will plan and kill Cao Mengde without leaving a piece of armor! ”

"Ahh Sima Fang took a few steps back, his face turned blue, and he sat down on the seat. "You...... You...... You, you're driving our family to a dead end! ”

Sima Yi said with a straight face: "Dad, you are old and confused. You still can't see the current situation? Following Cao Mengde is the one who will drive our Sima family to a dead end! ”

"Good, good!" Sima Fang said three times in a row, his spirit became tough, and he got up and said, "I'm waiting, waiting for you to take my life!" After speaking, there was no more affection, and he shook his hand and walked to the back hall.

And all of Sima Yi's brothers were angry. followed Lao Sima away.

Sima Yi's heart sank.

On the second day, the people of Hanoi County welcomed Gao Yuan's victorious return. The lively scene was no less than the entry of our army into the city in later generations. The people often grabbed the soldiers who passed by, and the home-grown eggs were stuffed over.

The soldiers hurriedly said: "There is discipline, do not take a stitch from the people!" ”

The more the soldiers said this, the more the people wanted to give. Before, there was nothing in the people's homes, now. There are quite a few. This is all because of the lofty policy and the soldiers' defense of their homeland.

The whole city was filled with festivities, and everywhere the high and distant troops reached, there was a scene of joy and celebration of victory. Gao Yuan brought a new atmosphere to his rule. There is a song that sings: "The sky under Gao Yuan's rule is a sunny day, and the people under Gao Yuan's rule like it so much~." ”

Listening to the laughter of the city, Takato returned to the mansion.

"Welcome the lord and return triumphantly!" Sima Yi led the officials who stayed behind to greet him.

Everyone flocked to the council chamber. Seating in separate classes.

First of all, Gao Yuan affirmed Deng Zhi's merits in the garrison battle in Hedong, and specifically pointed out that Deng Zhi persuaded the Cao army in the occupied county town to surrender at the first time.

Subsequently, Gao Yuan talked about Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Zhou Cang. Zhao Yun, in particular, repelled Xu Chu's breakthrough and captured the general together with Zhang Liao.

Gao Yuan did not mention Sima Yi, which is very intriguing.

This made Sima Yi very worried. In the eyes of everyone, Gao Yuan was angry with Sima's family's defection.

In this battle, the most exciting and jaw-dropping thing was that the Gao Yuan Army had lost all the casualties. From 50,000 troops, to 60,000 troops, this comes from Boss Cao's "gift".

For the surrender of troops, it is natural to absorb them.

What about the generals?

Xu Shu saw that Gao Yuan was no longer on merit, although he was very worried about Sima Yi, but he still remembered his duty. Out of the class played: "Lord, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Le Jin and others, all of them do not surrender, how to deal with them?" ”

Another highlight of this battle is that he captured three enemy generals in one go, all of whom were generals. A Xu Chu, that must be a fierce general with 10,000 enemies. Li Dian, Le Jin, is also a good general of the five sons.

The non-surrender of these three people was also expected by Gao Yuan. He also had some thoughts on the disposal of these people and said, "Hmm. They can be allowed to undergo labor reform. ”

"Labor reform!" This is a new word, Xu Shu and others can only understand the meaning, but don't know how to do it.

Gao Yuan had to give the ancients an insight into what labor reform was, explaining: "To put it simply, we can gradually change their thinking by going to the village to cultivate land with the peasants, understanding the lives of the common people, and sending people to take classes for ideological education." ”

Gao Yuan suddenly discovered that this was a very good method, which was common to all people who needed ideological education, including criminals.

So, Gao Yuan took the opportunity to say: "I am going to issue a new decree, and the prisoners of the government offices in various places should not be locked up in the dungeon. Although it is deserved to stay in the dungeon and not see the light of day, it is better to be transformed in the sun and become a new person! ”

"Punishment is only a means, education is an end. He ordered the establishment of labor camps in various localities, and set up labor camps in the countryside to carry out labor in the fields, or set up labor camps in the mines to open up mines. During the day, I work, I take an ideological education class at night, and when I go to bed, I reflect and reflect! ”

While he was speaking, Xu Shu and the others were dumbfounded, even Sima Yi, who was worried about his family, couldn't help but be immersed in the lofty new decree.

This idea of later generations is well known, but in ancient times, it was undoubtedly a far-reaching national policy. The transformation of labor ideology can not only reflect the benevolence of the king, but also reduce the risk of these people returning to society, which is really a good policy for governing the country.

Xu Shu and the others were really admired.

However, Gao Yuan was very modest and said: "This is all the experience summed up by the predecessors." ”

But in the eyes of Xu Shu and Sima Yi, there are predecessors who have summed up such experiences, and this is Gao Yuan's initiative. The more Gao Yuan said this, the more Xu Shu and they admired.

The merit was also discussed, the reward was rewarded, and the matter of surrendering the enemy generals was also dealt with, just when everyone thought that they could end the celebration banquet, Gao Yuan said earnestly: "This battle can be won, and Zhong Da is the first merit." ”

When everyone looked over, Sima Yi's heart rose to his throat, he knew that the moment to decide the future of the family was coming. (To be continued.) )
