"This Cao Zhang is really brave and extraordinary, he hasn't been on the battlefield for six or seven years, and he still has such martial arts."

After Huang Xu returned to the camp, he took off his armor and rubbed his sour arm and said.

After taking a sip of water, Huang Xu said to the generals again: "Cao Zhang has not been on the battlefield for several years, and today he is fighting with me, and his momentum is like a rainbow, and he can't wait to cut me off the horse, but Tongguan suddenly withdrew his troops, which must be strange."

Cao Zhang, this person is Cao Rui's uncle, how can he obey the orders of the idle people, it must be Sima Yi who can command him, pass on the order, let the soldiers be cautious, and not relax in the slightest. ”

"No!" The generals will take the command.

It's time for the evening.

At this moment, the Han army had already fallen asleep, and only a few pairs of patrolling soldiers were on guard patrol at their posts.

Tongguan is on the verge of the Yellow River, the Han army camp is stationed in the highlands again, it is January now, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, the river breeze blows at night, the cold is biting.

The Han soldiers were wrapped in padded jackets and stood guard by the brazier.

"Kill!"

"Kill me!"

"Knock knock!"

Suddenly, there were bursts of war drums and shouts of killing from the direction of Tongguan.

"It's an enemy attack, notify the general quickly!"

Seeing this, the Han sergeants on patrol hurriedly sounded the gongs and drums.

The Han soldiers hurriedly crawled out of the warm bed, took their weapons and prepared to fight.

"Hey, it's cold, what about the enemy?"

"I'm freezing to death, and I can't hold my weapon."

When the soldiers left the camp tent, they were blown by the river wind, and they all shrank their heads and heads from the cold, and their teeth chattered and could not close.

Although the Han army had cotton clothes, it could not resist the river wind next to the Yellow River, and even if later generations arrived here, they felt that it was cold and could not support it.

The first general said to Huang Xu: "General, just hearing the shouting and killing and not seeing the figure, the Wei army is bluffing!" ”

Huang Xu nodded and ordered: "Let the brothers go back to the camp, sleep in their clothes, add a few more handfuls of carbon to the camp, and be careful of fire!" ”

The soldiers then returned to the camp to rest, and in the blink of an eye, another hour passed, and in the direction of Tongguan, war drums were beaten again, and the shouts of killing were loud.

The Han army went out of camp again, but the Wei army still bluffed.

The adjutant general said to Huang Xu: "The Wei army's two bluffs are a plan to exhaust the troops, let's just ignore them!" On such a cold day, how can the brothers stand it a few more times? ”

"No way!" Huang Xu shook his head and said: "Although it is a tired strategy, if we don't take precautions, the next time the Wei army will really attack, if one of the ten falsehoods is true, we will die without a place to bury!" This is Sima Yi's trick. Let the brothers be cautious, if there is any movement in the Wei army, you must remember to report it! ”

"No!"

Tongguan Chengtou.

Sima Yi looked at Tongguan, which was not far from the city, and sneered: "This Huang Xu is cautious in using soldiers, and he also came out to resist it on such a cold day." ”

Cao Zhang muttered: "The Shu army is so vigilant that they are not fooled at all, so they will not be able to succeed in the raid." ”

"Raids can only win small, I want big wins! It doesn't matter if you don't hit the plan, how can this plan be so easy to break? Sima Yi said with a smile: "On such a cold day, let's come a few more times, the Shu army will definitely get sick, so they will retreat, and then they will go out to deal with them." ”

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past three days, Cao Zhang led the army to challenge during the day every day, and did not give the Han army a chance to rest. At night, the Wei army bluffed again, forcing the Han army to come out for defense.

Sometimes in one night, the Han army had to go out of the camp several times.

Originally, the soldiers of the Han army were in the bed, and after leaving the camp, they were exposed to the cold wind, one cold and one hot, capricious, and they would definitely get sick.

Sima Yi's tired tactic was very difficult to break with the help of the weather.

It doesn't matter if it's spring, summer and autumn, it comes out in the middle of the night, and at most it's not good to rest.

But in winter, when you leave the camp, you will get sick.

But if you ignore the Wei army, the Wei army will really attack.

It was the evening of the fourth day.

The Han army was once again harassed by the Wei army and came out of the camp.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Humph......"

"I'm hot and cold, I'm afraid I'm not sick!"

"Oh, brother, why is your forehead so hot?"

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

One by one, the Han soldiers sneezed and woke up with snot, and for several nights in a row, many of them were already sick.

"Why didn't your general come?" Huang Xu looked at the soldiers around him with a gloomy face, and when he saw that there was no adjutant general beside him, he asked his own soldiers.

"The general said he would come!" The soldier replied.

"General!" At this time, the adjutant general was belated.

"Why are you here so late? You are a general, you should lead by example! Huang Xu frowned.

"Ah sneeze ......" Huang Xu was saying, the deputy general suddenly sneezed, Huang Xu saw that the deputy general was listless, reached out and touched the deputy general's forehead, only to feel a hot one, and couldn't help but say: "Are you sick too?" Let's go back to camp first! ”

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Huang Xu and the generals came to the Chinese army's tent.

The adjutant general drank a bowl of ginger soup, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, he arched his hand and said: "General, it can't go on like this, the soldiers are half sick, and when the time comes, we will not be defeated by the Wei army, we will collapse first, the Wei army has been bluffing for the past few days, let's just ignore him." ”

Huang Xu said in a deep voice: "Tongguan can see our camp, let's come out to resist, the Wei army will not attack, if you ignore it, the Wei army will raid!" ”

The adjutant general slapped the table and said angrily: "Ignore this, we are going to be raided, we are going to be cold, we are going to be cold and sick, and it is not good for us left and right, how is this good?" ”

"Retreat the camp!" Huang Xu sighed and said: "Retreat the camp back thirty miles, if the Wei army still uses exhaustive measures, they will also have to Tongguan, and they will also get sick!" Prepare tonight and retreat early tomorrow morning! ”

The adjutant general gave the order: "I'll go and prepare!" ”

Tongguan Chengtou.

"The Shu army finally can't stand it anymore!"

Due to the cold weather, the Han army lit many braziers in the camp, so on the Tongguan, you can see the movement of the Han army. Seeing that the Han army did not return to the camp to rest, Sima Yi knew that the Han army was preparing to retreat.

Sima Yi looked at Cao Zhang: "Cao Zhang! ”

"The last general!"

Sima Yi ordered: "You immediately lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, go out from the east gate, go to the Fengling ferry, where I have prepared a ferry, you march from the Yellow River, detour to the rear of the Shu army, and set up a position to intercept the Shu army!" ”

Fengling Ferry is very famous in a martial arts, but few people know that this ferry is located in the Yellow River section of Tongguan.

If you take a detour by land, you will be discovered by the Han army scouts, but this is not the case on the Yellow River, and the Wei army can pass through the Yellow River and go around to the rear of the Han army.

"No!" Cao Zhang gave up his hand to receive the order.

Sima Yi said again: "The rest of the soldiers and horses are all in battle, and tomorrow morning, they will go to battle with the general!" ”
