Chapter 168

Zhang Miao said: "What is Mengde's high opinion? ”

Cao Cao said: "There is a plan, maybe you can block this Xiliang cavalry." ”

Zhang Miao perked up and said, "Meng De, please speak." ”

Cao Cao had already discussed with his advisers Cheng Yu and Mao Jie, so he was confident and said: "I think that Meng Zhuo why not lure him with Yu County, as long as he lures this Xiliang cavalry into Yu County, and then surrounds it with a large army, it will have nowhere to escape." ”

"This ......"

Zhang Miao hesitated and said, "Didn't Meng De say that this Xiliang cavalry had disappeared under Brother Ling's nose?" Moreover, in this way, the gentry and the common people in the county town will be homeless, and the resettlement will cost a huge amount."

Cao Cao said in a condensed voice: "This matter is really grotesque, but at that time, there were servants in the dock fort who escaped, if this Xiliang cavalry was lured into Yuxian, then it would be surrounded by a large army, and even a chicken would not be let go, and this Xiliang cavalry could be trapped." As long as this damn Xiliang cavalry can be annihilated, a few houses are nothing, it is better than being looted by the Xiliang cavalry. ”

Zhang Miao thought for a long time before nodding and said, "Okay, let's give it a try, but how to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Xiliang Army?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "This Cao has its own clever plan, I heard that Ye Cheng once had a stream and did not know where to go, at that time this Xiliang cavalry was looting in Ye County, if Cao is not bad, those homeless people will be captured by the Xiliang army, but I don't know where to hide." Anyway, there are many homeless people in Yuzhou who have fled at the moment, and they only need to rob the army as homeless people, and they can hide it from the eyes and ears of the Xiliang army. ”

Zhang Miao suddenly perked up, and slammed the knot: "Clever plan." It's a great plan. ”

After a pause, his face was embarrassed again, and he said, "But I have ordered all counties to close the city gates. No one is allowed to enter or leave. If he ordered Yu County to open the city gate and change the order overnight, wouldn't it make this damn Xiliang cavalry suspicious? ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "This is easy to do, Meng Zhuo can personally order the county and officials to abandon the city and flee, and then spread rumors, saying that the city is haunted, and many people have died." The people are foolish. At that time, the squires and people in the city will rush to flee, and the displaced people who have fled from Yuzhou will not dare to enter the city, and the Xiliang cavalry will not doubt each other. It also reduces casualties. ”

Zhang Miao said categorically: "Good, according to Mengde's opinion." ”

At noon, twenty miles south of Yuxian County.

The Western Liang army broke through a Zhuangzi and was killing pigs and sheep. Confiscation of money and food.

Luo Zheng sat in front of a warehouse. He also asked a little uneasily, "Did the scout detective Marco ever send?" ”

The scout colonel next to him, who was in charge of spying on the military situation, hurriedly said: "Back to the lord, it has been dispatched." ”

Luo Zheng nodded, "Our army is alone in the Central Plains, let the brothers in the scout camp be careful, be sure to grasp the movement within a radius of fifty miles, but if an unknown army appears, report it immediately, so as not to risk our army from being overthrown." ”

The scout said loudly: "Don't worry, the lord will take care of it." ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' at this time. Say no more.

No wonder he was so careful, this is the Central Plains. It's not Xiliang.

When he conquered the Kanto region last year, he was ambushed by Zhang He in Hebei and suffered a big loss.

Chen Tong, the captain of the pro-soldiers, died on the spot to save himself, such a bloody lesson, how can he not remember it for a long time.

At that time, the vegetable garden had not been upgraded, and it could not accommodate a few people at all.

Luo Zheng didn't want to be ambushed inexplicably, and Gul told him again and again.

After the sun began to move westward, the 1,000 Xiliang army was full of food and drink, and all the money, grain and various materials copied out were also moved into the vegetable garden, and eight large pigs and more than 30 sheep that had not been eaten were also driven into the vegetable garden and encircled.

Luo Zheng was about to leave, and galloped over as soon as he rode the scout horse.

"Lord, a large number of displaced people have been found outside Yu County!"

The scout spies urged the horse to the front, rolled off the horse, and reached the tunnel on one knee.

Luo Zheng waved his horsewhip and asked, "How many homeless people are there in Yu County?" ”

The scout replied, "About 10,000 people?" ”

Luo Zheng frowned and said, "Where did so many homeless people come from in Yu County?" ”

Xu Chu replied: "Yuxian is the border between Yuzhou and Chenliu, and it should have escaped from Yuzhou. ”

Luo Zheng frowned even more, and said: "Fugou is closer to Yuzhou, why are there only more than 1,000 displaced people?" ”

"This ......"

Xu Chu scratched his head and couldn't answer.

The scout cavalry hurriedly said: "Lord, I heard that Yu County has been opening a warehouse to release grain recently. ”

Luo Zheng suddenly said, "I see, it's not surprising." ”

Xu Chu said in a condensed voice: "My lord, there are so many homeless people in Yu County, you can try to accept them. ”

Luo Zheng said 'um', "It's almost time to take in another 18,000 homeless people, and I should go back to Xiliang later." ”

The scout cavalry hurriedly said: "Lord, there is still news. ”

Luo Zheng stomped his feet and said, "Speak." ”

The scout cavalry said: "When the last general left, he found that the gentry of Yuxian County were fleeing out of the city to the north. ”

Luo Zheng was surprised and said: "There is such a thing, why did the gentry of Yu County want to escape?" ”

The scout cavalry scratched his head and said: "The villain doesn't know, but most of them should be afraid that our army will attack the city." ”

Luo Zheng thought about it, and immediately waved his hand: "Let's go, go and see!" ”

The army soon hid in the vegetable garden, and the servants who had escaped escaped from the village and ran for their lives.

Luo Zheng was mixed with the fleeing servants, and also quietly left Zhuangzi.

In the northwest corner of Zhuangzi, in a ditch hundreds of steps away.

Cao Ren waited for no one to escape in the Zhuangzi, so he patted the dust on his body, crawled out of the ditch, and ran towards the Zhuangzi like a fly, went to the outside of the Zhuangzi and listened carefully for a while, and immediately pushed the door in.

No wonder he was so careful, he got the news yesterday and rushed to a dock fort that was attacked and occupied, and sent a few villagers to investigate, but they were all shot by the Xiliang cavalry, and none of them escaped.

Cao Ren followed a few times, and then slowly discovered a phenomenon.

As long as someone in the attacked Zhuangzi escaped, most of the Xiliang army had disappeared.

Sure enough, by the time Cao Ren rushed into Zhuangzi, the Xiliang cavalry had long since disappeared.

"Hey, what the hell!"

Cao Ren scratched his scalp wildly, "This group of damn Xiliang cavalry." How did you leave? ”

I couldn't get the essentials when I wanted to break my head, so I had to leave Zhuangzi in a hurry and run into a dense forest two miles away. took the war horse, took more than ten clan children, and galloped back to Yu County.

In the morning, he had received Cao Cao's military order, ordering him to rush to Yu County before sunset.

Now that the sun is already in the west, Cao Ren no longer dares to delay, so as not to miss the military order.

Yu County, four or six open.

After the gentry and the people of the city fled. Yu County has become an empty city.

The homeless people crowded outside the city heard the news that the city had recently been haunted and many people had been eaten. Those gentry and the common people were so frightened that they had to flee with their families, and they did not dare to enter the city.

The sun had set in the west, and hundreds of displaced people were lying on the ground. Soaking up the sun.

There were also sturdy men who set up firewood. Pheasants and hares are being burned in Kao.

There were hungry and faint homeless people around, but they didn't have the courage to go forward and grab it. The sturdy man who roasted pheasants and hares was not easy to mess with, and yesterday there were more than a dozen homeless people who wanted to grab food, and they were all defeated by that man.

"Daddy, hungry!"

A little girl of five or six years old bit her fingers and pulled the sleeve of the man's coat.

A man in his twenties has a white face and does not look like a working person, holding his daughter's hand. After hesitating for a long time, I still didn't dare to step forward, and I didn't even have the courage to ask for help. I had to sigh secretly.

"Do you want meat?"

At this time, a man's voice suddenly sounded next to him.

The man turned his head to look and saw a young man next to him, holding a grilled chicken leg in his hand.

Although this young man is very depressed, his eyes are very bright, and occasionally there is a compelling divine light passing by, which makes people feel a chill in their hearts, no matter how they look at it, they don't look like an ordinary person, let alone a homeless person.

"Meat, I want to eat it!"

The little girl didn't dare to do so much, so she nodded busily, and her eyes had begun to shine.

The man looked at the young man, then looked down at his hungry yellow-muscled daughter, and sighed secretly.

"Here, uncle will give you meat!"

Luo Zheng handed the chicken leg to the little girl and patted her on the back of the head.

"Thank you, uncle!"

The little girl was quite polite, thanked Luo Zheng, and then took the chicken leg and gnawed it.

Although he is already hungry, he eats very well, and at first glance he has a good family education.

"Thank you, brother!"

The man waved his hand and saluted Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng looked surprised, looked at the little girl, and then at the man, and said, "Born in the scholar clan? ”

The man said gloomily: "The first father was an official in Langling, and he wanted to go out in the next place, how could he have died of his father, and the filial piety period was not yet completed, so he met Yuan Gong to send troops to conquer Yangzhou, the military disaster was rising, bandits were everywhere, and unfortunately robbed in the next, the old mother died at the hands of the bandits, only escaped with the little girl, and went into exile all the way to Yu County. ”

Luo Zheng muttered: "With the war, the most bitter people are the people!" ”

The man asked: "Brother Guantai is not an ordinary person, why is he so downcast?" ”

Luo Zheng smiled, avoided the topic, and asked, "Why did the gentry and people of Yu County flee?" ”

The man did not doubt him, and said: "Recently, there is news that there are ghosts and ghosts in the city of Yuxian County, and many people have been eaten by evil ghosts, and the people who make trouble are panicking. ”

Luo Zheng asked, "Do you believe this kind of thing?" ”

The man said: "The son is silent, the strange power is chaotic, this kind of ethereal thing, how can it be believed." ”

Luo Zheng nodded, talked to the man for a few more words, and then walked away.

Xu Chu followed suit, carrying a long stride bag behind him.

The man glanced at it, his eyes were condensed, these two people were obviously masters and servants, but they were so down, it was really strange.

Luo Zheng did not rush into the city, but took Xu Chu to wander around among the homeless people to inquire about the news.

Although the homeless people were unanimous, he always felt that something was not quite right. Evil ghosts eat people, this kind of lie will deceive those foolish people, how can people like Luo Zheng believe it, because he didn't dare to enter the city lightly, for fear of fraud.

Soon, Luo Zheng noticed something unusual.

Although there are real homeless people gathered outside the city, most of them do not look like homeless people at all.

For people like Luo Zheng, who are used to fighting on the battlefield, those soldiers pretend to be similar, and there are still some differences between them and real homeless, although they seem to be scattered, but many people secretly have eye contact from time to time.

"No, let's go!"

Luo Zheng greeted and immediately prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, his eyes swept away, but he found an acquaintance and immediately blurted out. (To be continued......)
