Guan Yu on the mountain got the news that someone was going down the mountain at night, and more than a dozen Jingzhou troops who fled all the way down the mountain from the forest at night had been blocked by the Han army and sent them to Sima Yi's camp.

Knowing that Jingzhou soldiers ran down from the mountain, Sima Yi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked people to bring these more than ten Jingzhou soldiers to the front.

More than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers were escorted to Sima Yi by the soldiers of the Han army, and Sima Yi, who was riding on horseback, just glanced at them, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Because he was trapped in the mountains and slept in the open all day, the more than ten Jingzhou soldiers standing in front of him were all in rags, and their faces were also very bad.

"How did you remember to go down the mountain without permission?" Looking at the more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers, Sima Yi asked indifferently: "Don't you know that if you escape from the army, if you are captured, you will have your head cut off?" ”

"Back to the general!" More than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers trembled one by one and didn't dare to say anything, and the veteran who took them down the mountain hugged his fists and bowed down with a very respectful expression: "If you are captured, you will die, and if you are trapped on the top of the mountain, you will die sooner or later!" Rather than waiting for death, it is better to fight, even if you are captured, at most it will be a killing, but you don't have to suffer so much! ”

"General Ben had already asked people to send grain and grass up the mountain earlier, could it be that there is a shortage of food on the mountain again?" Frowning slightly, Sima Yi asked the veteran who replied, "How do you know that being trapped on the top of the mountain is also a death after all?" ”

"General Mingjian!" The veteran is obviously well-informed, although he is facing Sima Yi, his expression is not very flustered, and his answer is also a degree of advance and retreat, which is very decent: "There is really some grain and grass on the mountain, but I am waiting on the mountain, and I am blown by the mountain wind all day long, and many people are already sick!" The weather is still fine these days, and there is no rain, and once it rains, there is not even a tent, but it is just a plain drenched in pain, lying on the top of the mountain and waiting for death! ”

The veteran's answer made Sima Yi stunned.

He thought that these more than ten Jingzhou soldiers would be so flustered that they couldn't say anything when they saw him.

The more than ten people standing in the back were really as he expected, but the veteran who could reply was obviously different from the more than ten people.

There was some consternation in his heart, looking at the veteran, the expression on Sima Yi's face also became strange.

The veteran who stood in front of him with his fists clenched, his hair was already a little gray, and he looked at his age, at least forty-seven or eighteen.

The veteran's face was covered with a lot of deep wrinkles, and his skin was dark, before joining the Jingzhou Army, he was either a fisherman on the river, or a farmer who faced the loess with his back to the sky all the year round!

A veteran who was a fisherman or a farmer had such courage, and although he did not speak like some of the eager debaters, he was on the point.

Curious about the veteran, Sima Yi tilted his head to look at him, and after a while he asked him, "Where are you?" ”

Sima Yi suddenly asked about his hometown, and the veteran was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "General Qiyu, the villain is the Xiakou clan!" ”

"Natsuguchi!" Repeating the name of the veteran's hometown, a smile appeared on the corner of Sima Yi's mouth, and he said to him: "In this way, you are a fisherman who fishes on the river all year round!" ”

"The general's discernment!" Maintaining a fist-hugging and bowing posture, the veteran replied and did not open his mouth again.

"The fisherman on the river actually has such a character!" With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Sima Yi nodded, and instructed one of the soldiers behind him: "Take them down, give them some meat, and assign two camps to take care of them!" ”

"No!" A pro-soldier answered, stepped forward, and said to the more than ten Jingzhou soldiers who came down from the mountain overnight: "You wait to come with me!" ”

First thanked Sima Yi, more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers followed their own soldiers, bypassed the array of Sima Yi's army, and walked towards a camp lined up with many tents.

Before they entered the camp, they saw that there were many men wearing Jingzhou military uniforms and armor.

Looking at the camp from a distance, more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers roughly estimated that the Jingzhou army they saw was as many as four or five hundred people.

There were as many as four or five hundred Jingzhou troops in the camp, and according to the practice of marching and fighting, the total number of Jingzhou troops in the entire barracks was definitely not less than two thousand.

Originally, I thought that the Jingzhou army of the Chengcheng Han army was no more than 200 people at most, but I didn't expect to see such a large army here, and more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers were stunned for a moment.

"Let's go!" More than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously slowed down, leading their own soldiers to look back and greet them.

Hearing the greeting, more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers hurriedly responded, followed the pro-soldiers, and walked to the camp where two or three thousand people were stationed.

Entering the camp, some men wearing Jingzhou military uniforms and armor turned their heads to look at them, and more people were busy with their own work and had no time to pay attention to them.

Following behind the pro-soldiers, while walking deep into the camp, more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers looked left and right.

Looking at the past, all they saw were men wearing Jingzhou military uniforms and armor, except for the pro-soldiers walking in front, even half of the Han army was missing.

Put the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou army together, and they have not sent soldiers and horses to monitor, it can be seen that the Han army is at ease with these Jingzhou troops.

Following behind the soldiers, more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers had doubts in their hearts, but none of them asked their doubts.

led them to the depth of the barracks, and faced a Jingzhou Army officer who ran over quickly.

When the soldiers approached, the officer bowed to him with his fists, and then glanced at the more than ten Jingzhou soldiers who followed him, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask what you command?" ”

"These guys just came down from the mountain!" Turning his head and pointing to the more than ten Jingzhou troops following behind him, the soldiers said to the officers who came up: "The master has an order, arrange two camp tents for them, give them some meat, and take care of their lives!" ”

"More than ten people, two tents?" After being stunned for a moment, he glanced at the more than ten Jingzhou soldiers again, and the officer said with some embarrassment: "There are not enough tents in the camp, why don't you give them a tent ......."

"The master has commanded, how dare you slack off!" Smiling slightly, the pro-soldier gently patted the officer's shoulder twice and said: "The camp tent is insufficient, but you can go to the military quartermaster to receive it, and do what the master book orders to do, it will not be harmful to you and me!" ”

"No!" was patted on the shoulder by the soldiers, and the officer hurriedly responded as if he had received a great favor.

"You wait and stay here, and after a while, you will defeat Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and you will go to Luoyang to accept the reorganization!" After explaining to the officer, the soldiers gave another order to the more than ten Jingzhou soldiers who followed behind him.

His words undoubtedly made more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers who had been worried in their hearts completely put their hearts at ease.

The barracks are full of Jingzhou soldiers, although there are no blades, the armor on their bodies has not been taken away by the Han army, and there is no Han army to monitor them at all, once these people find out that something is wrong, they can leave at any time.

Clenching his fists and bowing, he thanked the soldiers in unison, and watched the soldiers leave, and more than a dozen officers saluted the officers who received them.

"Do you have an acquaintance in the Han army?" waved his hand to the more than ten Jingzhou soldiers, and the officer said to them: "I followed Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to serve the Han army, and there are still more than ten people in a tent, and you just came here, it is more than ten people and two tents, which is really enviable!" ”

More than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers did not say anything, but the veteran who led them down the mountain grinned and said to the officer: "The officer said that he was laughing!" When we entered the barracks, we only saw a lot of Tongze, but we didn't see a single Han army nearby, I don't know why? ”

The veteran asked why there was no Han army to monitor nearby, and the officer pursed his lips and said: "The two generals Mi Zhu and Mi Fang have been transferred to Xiahou Dun, and we did not follow them, but were idle here, just waiting for the Han army to break through Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and then return to Luoyang together!" The Han army does not have enough soldiers and horses, so how can they be willing to send people to spend their efforts on us? ”

The officer's explanation made most of the more than ten Jingzhou soldiers puzzled, and they didn't understand why the Han army didn't send people to monitor the barracks.

The veteran who led them down the mountain immediately figured it out.

The reason why the Han army did not send people to monitor the military camp was only because Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were transferred to Xiahou Dun.

The main general has been transferred away, gathered in one place, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and there is no need to worry about being slaughtered like pigs, and all the blades have been confiscated by the Han army, two or three thousand Jingzhou troops, and they really won't cause trouble lightly.

It is much better to let them be stationed here than to send people to monitor and make the Jingzhou soldiers feel uneasy.

Thinking about this layer in his heart, the veteran didn't break it, just looked at the officer silently.

There was not much to say to them, and the officer said to them: "Since the chief bookkeeper personally ordered, so-and-so will not dare to slack off, you wait and come with so-and-so, and so-and-so will order to go down and prepare some meat for you!" ”

"Thank you, Chief!" The officer's voice fell, and more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers hurriedly thanked him.

After accepting more than a dozen Jingzhou troops who came down from the mountain, Sima Yi's mood was much better than before.

Standing beside him, Yu Ban saw from his expression that he was full of spring breeze at this time, and couldn't help but ask him: "Zhongda, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang led two or three thousand people to serve, Zhong Da just nodded, and two or three hundred people came down from the mountain earlier, and I didn't see Zhong Da so happy, these more than ten people came, why is it so important?" ”

"The general doesn't know, these more than ten people are just informing a certain Guan Yu that he can't last a few days!" Smiling slightly, Sima Yi raised his hand and pointed towards the mountain, and said to the ban: "If what a certain expects, within three days, Guan Yu will definitely be captured!" ”
