Chapter 797 Acting Skills
“Brother, Cao Cao’s army is coming from Linjing.”
Xia Houba set up a camp on Yuezhi City, while Feng Junhou set up camp under the city.
Xiahou Ba thought he had fooled Xiao Wenhe, but he didn’t know that Xiao Wenhe was the one who should cooperate with you in the performance. I did not turn a blind eye, but applauded vigorously.
Even quietly taking people to hunt behind the camp every day, enjoying it.
Zhao Guang couldn't stand still, staring at the city top every day, but his brother wouldn't let him move.
In the end, I had to personally take people behind the city to check on the enemy's situation every day.
When he learned that the Wei army from Linjing had marched out to Yuezhi City, he immediately ran back excitedly and found Feng Yong who was practicing archery with a yellow sheep.
nocking an arrow, hooking the string, drawing the bow, aiming...
Feng Junhou even wore a jade ring on his thumb, which looked pretty.
It's just that the arrows shot are too fluttery, and the upper and lower limits of the lethality are unknown.
Of course, the greater possibility is zero.
Feng Junhou sighed and waved his hand.
The guards untied the yellow sheep tied to the tree and carried it aside, preparing to send it to Han Da Assassin, so that he could also serve as a butcher.
“It’s time to count the days.”
Feng Yong threw the arrow to Zhao Guang and turned back to the camp, "I just don't know, how is the situation over there at Sanniang?"
“My brother is well-organized, and my sister is brave and good at fighting. I think I will be able to defeat Cao Cao’s thieves.”
Zhao Guang said quickly.
Feng Yong glanced at him sideways: You flatterer, you always sound a little weird.
“Brother, the Cao thief has been attracted now, what should we do now?”
Zhao Guang asked eagerly.
“Let’s wait and see.”
Feng Yong replied, "Let's see what the reaction will be when Cao's army of thieves arrives."
“Huh? Do you still have to wait?”
Zhao Guang suddenly looked disappointed.
"What else can you do if you don't wait? Can you defeat Cao Cao's thieves with just these cavalry in your hands?"
Feng Yong glared at him.
These days, communications are really far behind.
Response and decision-making for various situations can only rely on the integration and inference of extremely limited fragmented information.
Why are counselors and famous generals so important?
Because this kind of game can only be played by people with high IQs.
The vast majority of people have no choice but to be blind.
“If only there was a telephone... no, just a transmitter would be enough.”
Feng Yongyong said with nostalgia.
“Brother, what did you just say?”
Zhao Guang doesn’t understand this term at all.
Feng Yong waved his hand, too lazy to answer him, and then began to fall into deep thought.
If you want to make a telegraph receiver and transmitter, you must have a special password and a generator.
Special passwords are no problem. After all, in those days, a group of wretched men posted some website in the group. In order to avoid being hit by dimensionality reduction, they often used Morse code.
But if you want to make a generator, you must first find a magnet.
You should be able to find natural magnets or lodestones, and build an artificial generator to make do with it.
After all, when I was marching in the desert, in order to experience the extreme environment, I used artificial generators.
As a member of the Third Team, if you don’t even know how to repair a wired phone, then just get out of the Third Team.
One hand is shaking the generator, the other is pressing the switch, and there is a phone between one shoulder and the head. Which person in the third team has not done this?
But this transmitter and receiver...
Damn it, the key point is that I wasn’t in the wireless team back then!
Forget it, let’s use horseback riding to convey the message!
When I have free time in the future, I might try wired ones and make them for my daughter to play with.
There is no other way to rely on information integration for dimensionality reduction, we have to play with high IQ.
So Feng Junhou pondered again: It seems that all the stable Wei troops have been attracted here, and there should be no big problem on Sanniang's side.
As long as Jingyang is defeated, the Wei army from Chang'an can be mobilized to go north, and the task of protecting the Qiang Xiaowei's mansion will be completed.
Xiahou Ba at the head of Yuezhi City saw the army continuously marching into the city. He also felt that his task of guarding Yuezhi City was completed.
"General Xiahou first saw through Feng's plan to divide his troops, and then used the plan to frighten Feng's army. He is worthy of being the general who conquered the west!"
Hu Zun stood next to Xiahou Ba and said with a smile.
Xia Houba said modestly: "Thief Feng is cunning, I was just lucky enough to see through it."
He said that, but he couldn't hide the complacent look on his face.
Fortunately, I was nervous for a while when I heard that Feng Thief was leading the troops here in person, but I didn't expect that he was in vain.
"General, why should you be humble? Do you think that the Shu captives are in the western border area and have little knowledge, so they know the heroes of the world? I think it is just a little plan, so they dare to pretend to be Jia Wenhe. It is really ridiculous!"
“General Hu’s words do make some sense.”
After finishing speaking, the two of them laughed loudly, feeling contempt for Thief Feng in their hearts:
"Then Thief Feng saw the suspicious soldiers at the top of the city and did not dare to enter lightly. In the past few days, he only took the time to cut wood to build siege equipment. I wonder what he thought when he knew that he missed the opportunity to attack the city?"
“I think I must have regretted it so much that I no longer have the courage to call myself Xiao Wenhe.”
"Haha... let's see how he regrets it tomorrow!"
Xiahou Ba could not wait to issue a letter of war to the Han army outside the city.
Zhao Guang also looked excited when he received the letter of challenge from Wei Jun:
"It seems that this thief doesn't know how to write the word "death"! Brother, what should we do this time?"
"It seems they are in a hurry." Feng Yong squinted his eyes, still trying to figure out the meaning of each word written above.
After reading it, he chuckled lightly and threw the letter of challenge away:
"Hu Zun came all the way in a hurry, and he couldn't even wait for a day's rest before he wanted to fight with our army."
He touched his chin and said, "Erlang, go and have someone make a sign. Make it bigger so that the other side can see it clearly. Write the words 'war-free sign' on it and hang it at the entrance of the camp."
“Free battle card?”
Zhao Guang looked shocked, what is this?
“That’s the literal meaning. Just do it and ask someone to send a reply to the other party, saying that I’m not in a good mood tomorrow, so I won’t fight for the time being and will fight again the next day.”
Feng Yong waved his hand and did not explain much, "Also, I will tell you to go down immediately and let everyone pack their bags. We will evacuate at dawn tomorrow."
"Ah! Why?" Zhao Guang couldn't keep up with his brother's thinking. "It wasn't as promised in the future..."
“A war is never tired of deceit, don’t you understand?”
“But brother, we worked so hard to get to Yuezhi City, set up a stronghold for a few days, and then evacuated?”
Zhao Guang looked reluctant.
Feng Yong looked at him angrily, "There is Cao Cao's army on the opposite side. With the thousands of cavalry at your disposal, why do you still want to charge into the battle?"
“Isn’t there still Yi Congjun?”
Zhao Guang muttered.
"Ha!" Feng Yong sneered, "You want to join the army? If it's a smooth battle, that's fine."
"Don't talk about those who are facing each other head-on. Even those who can't stop fighting, I don't dare to let them follow behind."
During the Liangzhou Rebellion, if Huang Zhongyi had not joined the army and rebelled, how could the rebellion escalate all of a sudden?
If we say that the prestige of the Later Han Dynasty had declined at that time, but as far as Feng Yong knew, the Tang Dynasty, which was also called the Great Han Dynasty, also had a Talas War.
The Tang Dynasty was at its peak at that time, and its prestige in the Western Regions had reached its peak.
However, the Hu army as a servant army dared to suddenly rebel, resulting in the loss of all the elite expeditionary forces of the Anxi Protectorate.
What's more, today's Protector Qiang's Mansion is far from being comparable to the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion.
The Wei State has been operating in Yongliang Prefecture for so long, and it’s not like they did nothing.
At that time, when the overall situation of Longyou was decided, it was evident that there were still Hu tribes who were willing to come out to cause trouble and support the Wei state.
To put it bluntly, Feng would not completely believe any barbarian who had not passed the examination and officially joined the battle sequence of the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion.
Even if you are a righteous soldier.
Zhao Guang heard that his brother was talking about this and did not dare to talk back. He immediately turned around and went out to make arrangements.
After following his brother for these years, the most important thing is that after losing the general, he deeply understood one truth:
Brother is always right. If you think there is something wrong with your brother, you must be thinking wrong.
This time I returned to my brother's command, my lord also said:
That Mr. Feng, apart from his poor ability in arranging troops in battle, he is also a top-notch person, not only in managing the army and generals, but also in managing the people and the country.
Follow him here. Remember to look more, think more, and ask more questions. As long as you can learn some of his skills, you can truly lead an army on your own.
No, at least I have learned what the "war-free card" is.
Zhao Guang comforted himself.
"I once heard that Feng Thief behaved erratically and was known as Feng Madman. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."
Xiahou Ba and Hu Zun received the reply from the Shu captives and couldn't help but laugh at Feng Yong.
Being in a bad mood can also be used as a reason to avoid fighting, which is really laughable.
"I'm afraid that this person was caught off guard when he saw General Hu leading the army, so he could only use this to cover up his incompetence."
"He was confused by General Xiahou. He has only been cutting wood to make siege equipment these days, and he is afraid that he is not prepared for a battle on the battlefield. Should we attack his camp directly tomorrow?"
After hearing Hu Zunzhi's words, Xiahouba's heart moved. He thought for a while, but then shook his head:
"No, the army is coming in a hurry. I think the soldiers are a little tired. It's a good time to take a day's rest to recharge their spirits and defeat the thieves the next day."
"Kang Fu, the thieves have been setting up the camp for several days, and the camp is complete. Attacking them now will only increase the casualties of the soldiers."
Hu Zun thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said:
“That’s fine, let’s let Thief Feng live in peace for one more day.”
At that moment, the two men sent an order to kill the cattle and sheep, reward the soldiers, and rest for a day, only to wait for the day to defeat the thieves.
When the military order was spread throughout the city, there was a roar among the Wei army and their morale was greatly boosted.
Only until the early morning of the third day, Xiahou Ba and Hu Zun organized their troops out of the city to form an array. At the same time, they sent people to shout a challenge in front of the Han army's camp.
After a while, the rumble of drums could be heard in the Han army camp. It seemed that they were gathering troops to meet the enemy.
Hearing the sound of the drums, Hu Zun couldn't help but smile again:
"Before we arrived at the stronghold, Thief Feng had just beaten the drum. It seemed that he was really distracted."
Although Xiahou Ba thought he had defeated Feng Yong, he became cautious before going into battle. He shook his head:
“Thief Feng was able to stop General Zhang He at the street pavilion back then. Even if he relied on luck and bullied General Zhang He into going over the mountain, and the military teacher was tired, he should still have some ability.”
“I’m afraid that he is trying to delay time at this time and lower the morale of our army, so it’s better to be careful.”
As if to verify Xiahou Ba's words, drums kept beating in the Shu camp opposite, but the gate of the camp was never opened, and no thieves came out to form an array.
Xiahou Ba couldn't hold himself back and came to the battle in person to watch.
When he saw the war-free sign hanging on the gate of Shulu Village from a distance, he frowned.
In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with Feng Thief, who was acting against common sense.
It’s just that the layout of the camp opposite seemed to be quite solid, so he had to be extra cautious: this Feng thief seemed to be really capable.
Just listening to the loud beating of drums inside, Xiahou Ba always felt that something was wrong.
He walked back and forth a few times at the entrance of the camp. Suddenly, he got excited and shouted involuntarily: "No!"
After shouting this, Xiahou Ba turned around and ran towards the Wei army camp.
Hu Zun saw Xiahou Ba running back with a changed expression. Before he could speak, Xiahou Ba said hurriedly:
“Attack the camp, let people attack the camp immediately!”
“Attack the camp?”
Hu Zun didn’t react for a while.
"The Shu captives have escaped! Feng Thief is really cunning!"
Xiahou Ba finally couldn't help but yelled, "Traitor!"
"Run away?!" Hu Zun pointed to the opposite side in disbelief, "Then this drum sound..."
“Suspected Soldier! It must be Suspected Soldier!”
Xia Houba gritted his teeth and said, "When I arrived in front of their stronghold, I heard the sound of drums but no shouts, so they must not be gathering troops!"
“When General Feng Ze heard that General Feng was coming with his army, he must have fled in fear. At this time, the stronghold there was probably already an empty one!”
It is a lie to say that you are in a bad mood and will fight again later. It is all a lie!
Thief Feng was basically using delaying tactics to gain one day to escape.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Ba couldn't help but cursed: "You are as timid as a rat!"
Hu Zun was not in the mood to curse here. He had already hurriedly sent orders and sent out forwards to test and attack the camp.
Until the Wei army attacked the gate of the village, the thieves on the wall still hadn't fired an arrow.
Tear down the battle-free card, take a ladder and climb up the wall, only to find that they are all straw men!
The Wei army opened the gate of the village from the inside, and the army from outside swarmed in. They searched inside and outside, but there was no one there.
When others retreated, they still left a few old, weak, sick and disabled people to guard the gate. He actually didn't even keep any human beings, only their hair.
There are still a dozen sheep left, hanging upside down in the air. The sheep's hind legs are constantly kicking and beating on the military drum: dong dong dong...
When Xiahou Ba saw this scene, his face turned red with anger and his body began to tremble:
“Feng Thief…Feng Thief is extremely cunning!”
I thought I had deceived the opponent by using a straw man, but I didn't know that the opponent's backhand was to deceive him.
This is not the most important thing. What is more important is that there is no completed siege equipment in this camp.
In the past few days, I have seen that the wood cut down by thieves is all piled up and neatly stacked. Is there any trace of processing?
What does this mean?
It means that the other party has no intention of attacking the city at all!
In the past few days, I thought I had frightened the other party, but I did not expect that the other party was also scaring me.
so…
Xiahou Ba thought of a possibility that would make him feel cold when the sun was high.
