Chapter 13: The Story of Hewu, Phantom Sneak (2)
"Boss...... Big brother, you're here...... The subordinates meet Lord Sima! ”
"It's been a long time, are you husband and wife okay, let's get up too!"
"No!"
No one thought that Xiao Yi sneaked thousands of miles and entered the Yiwu camp silently, which was really an unpredictable skill, and the rest of the people also took off their masks, namely Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Huang Xu, and Cao Xing.
After Ma Liu was shocked, he stepped forward to salute with Xiao Yi's shoulders, Lu Ling'er also ignored the difference between men and women, and gave a tight hug, this is her closest brother, and it is also the object of admiration at a certain stage of life, and the rest of the civil and military officials knelt down and saluted, and at the same time secretly guessed that Da Sima acted like this, I am afraid that there are conspiracy schemes, right?
Everyone guessed correctly, the sound of attacking the east and the west, and winning by surprise, although Cao Jun's strategic plan is clever, but it can't hide from Kong Ming and Pang Tong, even Lu Su will quickly notice it, and work out a counterattack plan, so Jingzhou and Huainan will be in danger!
Therefore, after leaving Xuchang, Xiao Yi made several moves and formulated a more thorough and cunning strategy, not only externally, but also internally:
First of all, let the apprentice Hao Zhao wear a ghost helmet and a claw armor...... (all high-imitation products), holding the blood wolf battle flag with the word 'Xiao', led thousands of Xuanjia iron horsemen straight to Wancheng, and wanted to make some noise.
Hao Zhao has followed Xiao Yi for many years, and his every move is clear in his chest, and he imitates it vividly, as long as the 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' appears in Wancheng, the entire Jingzhou will inevitably be shaken, and it will also put more pressure on Liu Bei's group, forcing them to increase the number of troops left behind, and the number of people used to attack Shu will inevitably decrease.
In addition, Xiao Yi also had a bold idea, if Liu Beijun entered Shu in advance and became entangled with Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, he would abandon the original plan, lead the army straight to Jiangling City, take the land of the five counties of Jingzhou, and then isolate the Sun and Liu families and have a better strategic posture...... It's up to whoever makes the first move.
Secondly, let Guo Yi lead the main force of the Xuanjia Army to be stationed on the Tongguan fortress, and not participate in the battle of Yizhou, the mountains and rivers of Yizhou are dangerous, the roads are rugged, and the cavalry of the brigade can't gallop away, but they are restricted everywhere, and going is equivalent to dying in vain!
Tongguan is the gateway of Guanzhong, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, to the west can be a barrier of 800 miles of Qinchuan, to the east from Luoyang more than 500 miles, from Xuchang more than 800 miles, and Xuanjia iron cavalry gallops with all its might, 300 miles can be carried out in one day and night......
In other words, once something big happens in the imperial court (a certain crane travels west), this elite cavalry unit can go down to Luoyang within two days and reach Xuchang within three days, and Xiao Yi is most worried about the rear when he goes on an expedition this time.
In the end, after Xiao Yi led people into Guanzhong, he did not join the trapped camp, Danyang soldiers, and student army, but quietly waited halfway and joined the Modao soldiers from Youzhou, and also disguised himself as an ordinary pro-soldier, and mixed into the Yiwu camp with Da Niu!
The purpose of this is to better hide the traces, and then achieve the effect of 'surprise, attack unprepared', in the Battle of Changping that year, Wu Anjun-Bai Qi was lurking in the army, first let the Zhao army underestimate the enemy's carelessness, and then use cunning means to lure into the encirclement, killing 400,000 people in one fell swoop, Xiao Yi also imitated the ancients!
"I have something to say to the two generals, so let's stand down for the time being!"
"No!"
"Huh? --Stand down! ”
"No!"
…………
The three brothers haven't seen each other for many years, so they naturally want to have a good drink and then discuss the military affairs, so Xiao Yi waved his hand lightly and motioned to the people around him to retreat, some words can't be passed on!
When the order was issued, Dian Wei, Cao Xing, and Huang Zhong bowed and saluted, closed the iron helmet again, and retreated to the outside of the Chinese army's tent, holding a sharp blade to firmly guard the door to prevent anyone from breaking in.
Niu Ben took the rest of the soldiers and retreated to the outside of the big tent, Lu Ling'er saluted and obediently went to the back tent, the topic between men is not easy for women to listen to!
Only a dozen Guanzhong generals also clasped their fists and saluted, but they didn't move a single step, their eyes were fixed on Ma Liu, like a dozen loyal lackeys, waiting for the master's order!
This made Xiao Yi quite surprised, he had fought in the south and north for 20 years, and had commanded countless soldiers and horses, whether it was a descendant, a side line, or a descendant...... It has always been a mountain of military orders, and no one dares to disobey it, even the sons of the Cao family and the generals of the clan!
I didn't think that I made an exception today, I ordered twice in a row, and these Guanzhong generals didn't move at all, are they all deaf, or don't understand military orders, but after thinking about it, I understand:
Sneaked into the camp by himself, with no guards, no flags, and no guard of honor...... It's in someone else's big tent again, and the prestige inevitably declines, and it doesn't work!
What's more, Ma Liu has been in Chang'an for more than ten years, and has formed his own authority, the generals are all promoted by him, and he is used to only obeying his orders, and no one else can command him, even Xiao Yi's words are not easy to use, isn't this a good thing?
"A bunch of bastards, why don't you get out of here quickly, don't you know what death is?"
"No!"
"Remember to keep it secret, there is someone who leaks the whereabouts of Da Sima - behead!"
"No!"
Ma Liu hurriedly stood up and scolded his subordinates, and more than a dozen generals immediately withdrew from the big tent, but they had no resentment at all, and being scolded by their bosses in the officialdom was a show of closeness, and it was your own people who scolded you!
After driving away the disobedient subordinates, Ma Liu wanted to say a few words and resolve the embarrassment just now, but his eyes swept over Xiao Yi, and his face turned pale with fright, and cold sweat instantly flowed down......
"Da Sima, please calm your anger, they are all the last generals who have no way to discipline them, they must be punished heavily when they go back, and please leave their lives!"
"Xiao Liu is also an unintentional mistake, the boss is not angry, give him a chance to change!"
…………
Regarding the fact that the generals did not obey the order, Xiao Yi sat upright and did not say a word, not a trace of anger on his face, but showed a slight smile, as if he didn't pay attention to it at all, just touched his nose lightly!
But this small action made Ma Liu's knees weak, and he immediately knelt on the ground, met again with military etiquette, and begged for mercy for more than a dozen generals, and if he didn't beg for mercy, he would really die.
After getting along for many years, he knows Xiao Yi's habits too well, when he is worried, he pulls out his hair, shaves his face when he thinks of bad ideas, and touches his nose with murderous intentions......
Da Niu also knelt down on one knee, softly pleaded softly, and glared at Ma Liu fiercely, their relationship with Xiao Yi was very complicated: friends, brothers, monarchs and ministers are a trinity, and this scale must be mastered.
Some things can be unscrupulous, such as disrespecting the number of courtesies, playing wantonly, asking for high-ranking officials, gold, silver and jewelry, no matter how they mess around, Xiao Yi will not mind, but will be ten times more satisfied!
There are some things that cannot be violated, not the slightest, otherwise great disasters will come, such as supreme power, military affairs, inheritance issues...... The dragon has reverse scales, and those who touch it die!
"Only this time, not as an example, we will always be good brothers, I hope that our children and grandchildren can also live in harmony and keep prosperity together!"
"Boss-Boss--Woo!"
Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, helped Da Niu and Ma Liu up, and hugged them tightly, the deep friendship of more than 20 years needs to be cherished and maintained more and more!
I did have a murderous intent just now, not only to kill a dozen disobedient generals, but to remove and replace all the generals and officials in the Guanzhong area.
Xiao Yi's plan is to be above the court, fight wits and courage with traitors, and fight fiercely with the princes, and then establish political prestige and gradually grasp the power of the military state!
And the henchmen scattered the localities and firmly grasped the military power, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Sizhou...... Like the snake of Changshan, it gradually spread to all parts of the Central Plains, and finally joined forces with the outside to establish the Xiao Dynasty in one fell swoop!
Eight hundred miles of Guanzhong - the land is fertile, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the first Qin Dynasty according to this to dominate the world, the Western Han Dynasty also relied on the fundamental place, Chang'an is surrounded by eight rivers, there is a dragon and a tiger momentum, and it is the capital of the future Xiao Dynasty!
In addition, Guanzhong is still Xiao Yi's 'backyard', if it is successful, it will sweep the world, and if it is not successful, it will retreat to Guanzhong, and it will be the overlord of one party, so this most important place will be handed over to the most trusted Ma Liu!
Unexpectedly, Ma Liu was too capable, not only sat firmly in the land of Guanzhong, but also managed his own yard, which couldn't help but make Xiao Yi a little depressed, and then gave birth to a sense of vigilance......
Although Xiao Yi is 100% sure that Ma Liu will never betray him, this kind of loyalty is only limited to the two of them, if he is no longer alive, will Ma Liu still be loyal to Xiao Xuan and Xiao Huang brothers?
If Ma Liu had gone first, would his sons have been loyal to the Xiao family, or would they have other thoughts, the third generation, the fourth generation...... How long can this loyalty be maintained, as a mature politician, you have to plan ahead?
I must act in advance to nip this danger in the bud, otherwise when Xiao Xuan and Xiao Huang brothers come to power and take action to solve this problem, I am afraid that they will have to make a big move, kill a river of blood, and the country will also fall into turmoil......
Therefore, Xiao Yi secretly decided, taking advantage of this time to send troops to conquer Yizhou, move a place for Ma Liu, and take the pass back into the hands of the Xiao family, so that it is good for himself, Ma Liu, and the descendants of the two families, and I hope that the friendship will continue for generations!
