Three Kingdoms

After repeated deliberation, Sima Yi decided to pretend again before retreating.

Pretending to be awesome, maybe it’s one of the joys of life.

Ever since Sima Yi arrived in Hedong, it was just to catch a big one right now. If there were no big prey, it would be better to have more small prey.

In the past few days, Sima Yi asked people to build some "simple" camps on Zhi Guanxing.

This kind of camp is really very simple. In some places, it only has a frame. Some weeds were burned and some wooden frames were nailed on.

Although so simple, Sima Yi gave these camps a resounding name, called Tiangang Beidou Village, and nailed a wooden sign in front of these camps, or peeled off the bark of a tree and wrote the village name on it. , they are all named after Tianquan and other Big Dipper stars. Looking at the names alone, they are indeed majestic.

Who could have imagined that Tiangang's name was involved in such a mountain?

Guo Yao and Li Er completed their fraud attempt well.

At first Xia Houyuan was a little worried about encountering an ambush on the mountain road, but when he encountered Guo Yao, Li Er and others taking turns to "ambush", Xia Houyuan became furious because he thought that Guo Yao and Li Er were not the same. It's really an ambush, but a deliberate delay, a delaying tactic!

Xia Houyuan discovered that because he was worried about being ambushed, he should have arrived at Zhiguan early, but he was delayed for an extra day and a half on the road!

What kind of bullshit ambush? !

Shuzi!

So Xia Houyuan became more and more bold, even reducing the number of scouts to explore the road, and instead sent his troops straight to Zhi Pass!

Sima Yi didn't even say a word to the situation, and immediately abandoned the pass and fled, burning utensils and blocking the road at the pass.

Facing the raging fire, Xia Houyuan naturally couldn't catch up. He was angry and funny at the same time. He was angry that he was delayed for a day or two even though he met such a commander who was not familiar with the art of war. But he was laughing because even though he was delayed, he couldn't organize any defense. That's not it. Abandoned the customs and fled?

There were raging flames at the pass. Xia Houyuan first sent people to climb the pass wall and conduct inspection inside the pass. After confirming that there was no danger in the pass, he sent people to find a way to put out the fire. It's just that for this kind of burning material that has been poured with kerosene, most of the time the best way to put out a fire is to isolate it and wait for it to burn out...

The fire was raging, which was like Xia Houyuan's ambition being gradually ignited.

After the flames at the pass were extinguished, Xia Houyuan led people into Zhiguan before the temperature of the pass had completely dropped. Moreover, he did not rest in the intact houses, but would rather stay in those that had been burned by the flames. Once again, we camped in a pitch-black place against half a broken wall.

Since they learned that there was gunpowder in Guanzhong, Cao Cao and others also studied and took precautions about this matter, and then came up with a general solution, which is to set fire to it.

Once the place has been burned, the danger of gunpowder is basically eliminated.

Although Xia Houyuan couldn't explain why this happened, but since Cao Cao had specifically asked him to do so, he naturally chose a safer place to camp. There is even some residual warmth left in these burned areas, and there are no insects bothering them. Apart from being stained with some black charcoal color, there are no other problems.

Sure enough, after a good night's sleep, nothing happened.

Early the next morning, Xia Houyuan led his troops to attack again.

Although Xiahou Yuan was deceived by false information and looked down upon Sima Yi, after all, Xiahou Yuan only had 800 cavalry, and the number of follow-up infantry was only 3,000. His main purpose was not to attack quickly, but to attack first. He wanted to see what he could do on the east side of Hedong before making next plans, so after capturing Zhiguan, Xiahou Yuan used Zhiguan as a stronghold and began to clear out the military strongholds around Zhiguan.

When Cao Jun's scouts reported back to the military strongholds around Zhi Pass, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but be shocked.

Tiangang Beidou?

So... dick?

As a result, Xia Houyuan came to the military camp in person to see it, and he almost fell off his horse with laughter!

These military villages are all empty shells!

This Sima Yi is just a scholar who only knows how to show off!

Xia Houyuan suddenly felt much lighter...

In fact, since entering Zhiguan, he has been somewhat uneasy in his heart.

This kind of lack of practicality comes from the illustrious achievements of the previous Hussar, from the elite and bravery shown by the previous Husband and Horse, and from his previous failure experience. That's why Xia Houyuan was defeated by Guo Mian in the very beginning. He and Li Er blocked his hands and feet in a superficial way, but now after laughing wildly, he finally settled down in his heart.

It turns out that this kind of people who are just bragging and pointing fingers must occupy a high position and have a reputation that is louder than anyone else. As a result, their subordinates are actually sparse and their reputation is not worthy of their reputation. They are not only found in Shandong, but also in Hedong!

A guy like this is not afraid even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers!

It turns out that under the hussars, only those soldiers and horses commanded by Fei Qian can be considered elite. The rest of the troops...

Soga, Xia Houyuan felt that he understood.

Xia Houyuan captured all seven villages in Zhiguanxing in one day!

The momentum is overwhelming!

No, it is sharper than breaking bamboo, because bamboo will still be "broken" no matter what, and Sima Yi took the initiative to break it when he saw Xia Houyuan's men and horses...

When the soldiers of Cao's army saw that most of the military strongholds were empty, they gradually relaxed their hands and feet.

The scouts stopped observing many places in detail, and even started skipping them in order to rush for time.

At first, Cao Jun was a little worried, but later he became more and more courageous!

The same was true for Xia Houyuan. Not only did he speed up his march and send a small team towards Jiguan, but he also blatantly fired a surrender letter at Jiguan.

Of course, the letter is still the same as before, saying that the Hussars have overstepped their bounds and committed the crime of disobedience and disrespect, so they were punished by the emperor's order. Now they are coming with a large army, vowing to trample you to dust. If someone knows something, they will be captured as soon as possible and returned. If you can save your life, if you stubbornly resist your orders, after the city is defeated, it is inevitable that everyone will be destroyed. Don't say that you are not predicting this.

When Sima Yi received the letter, he sneered again and again. Originally, Sima Yi was thinking about whether to write a frank, literary reply letter, angrily or something, so that he could be more like a dull nerd, but after thinking about it, I'm afraid it would be too much. Most nerds have encountered problems. Most of the time it’s just because you’re at a loss, so why bother writing an article?

Therefore, Sima Yi simply did not reply to the letter. He only ordered the flags to be lowered at the top of the city, pretending that the number of garrison soldiers was small, and lit many bonfires on the city wall at night to make the soldiers noisy...

Xia Houyuan has never encountered such an opponent. He is quiet during the day and noisy at night? Is this a night owl becoming the commander-in-chief? After thinking about it for a day, he was furious again because he realized that he seemed to have fallen into a trap again!

However, it was obviously not a wise move to attack Jiguan with two to three thousand troops, and one-third of them were cavalry. Therefore, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly sent people to send a message to Cao Cao, requesting that more troops be sent. The soldiers came and looked for a way to bypass Jiguan.

It was such a coincidence that among the private servants of the big families in Hedong whom Xia Houyuan had captured before, some knew that there was a mountain road that could bypass Jiguan. In order not to be driven away and become cannon fodder for the attack on Jiguan, these people showed it without hesitation. Out of self-worth...

Xia Houyuan almost didn't think about it. After a little review of the prisoners' confessions, he decided to bypass the pass and go straight to Hedong!

Early the next morning, smoke rose from the Cao army camp outside Jiguan.

Sima Yi stood on Jiguan and looked at it, then smiled, "Cao Jun must have found a detour around the mountain..."

Guo Yao asked: "How did the general know?" 』

Sima Yi Zheng'er Bajing's position was Minister of Dali Temple, but this position did not allow him to command troops, so after arriving in Hedong, he was given the title of General Pi, which was a temporary addition and was attached to Pingyang. Although General Pi is not a popular person, he can still be regarded as a general, just like the account manager of future generations.
