Chapter 482 Sima Yi's strategy
Outside Yanmen Pass, Sima Yi led a team of ten thousand people deep into the grassland
This time, Cao Cao once again gave him an arduous task, that is to persuade the prairie barbarians to harass Hanzhong and make things difficult for Jiang Chen.
"General Sima, there is a remnant tribe of the Huns twenty miles ahead!"
"Do you want to go to communicate with it?"
On this day, Sima Yi, who was wandering around like a headless chicken in the grassland, and the scouts he sent finally found a settlement where the Huns lived.
Sima Yi understood that people like Jia Xu wanted him to be killed by the prairie people, but he had to accept this task in order to gain Cao Cao's trust.
Then you have to take some risks!
"The tribe of the Huns, are they going to die?"
"Last time, that old thief Cheng Yu just cheated 10,000+ coalition troops!"
"Do you think your brains are too hard?"
Sima Yi rolled his eyes at the lieutenant general, and when he came out, why didn't he take his brains with him, now the Huns must be the ones who hate Cao Cao to the core.
This time the Huns were disabled and completely lost their ability to fight for the front of the grassland, allowing the Xianbei, Di and Qiang people to occupy the grassland.
"General Sima, what shall I do then?"
"Do you want to go around?"
"That's a tribe of more than 2 people. If they find out, it will probably bring us great security risks!"
The lieutenant-general shrank his neck when he heard this.
Those Cao Jun who were brought out were all in a cold sweat, and there was some fear in their eyes.
Originally, they didn't have any advantage on the grassland, their horses couldn't run as fast as others, and their bows and arrows weren't as accurate as others.
Now they finally understood why the people who came to see them off were a little gloating when they came out.It seems that they have known for a long time that they are a bunch of cannon fodder.
"Of course we can't go around!"
"It's not easy to meet so many Huns, so naturally we have to take advantage of them!"
Sima Yi shook his head, he was not the type to shrink back.
"How to use it?"
"Do you want to negotiate with them head-on?"
The lieutenant asked with some fear.
"Fart! Have some brains!"
"Of course we can't meet, otherwise it will cause trouble for us!"
"Did you bring the clothes of the Hanzhong soldiers that you were told to bring?"
Sima Yi asked.
"General Sima, you have already brought it!"
"Well, send a team of 500 people to pretend to be the Hanzhong Army!"
"At midnight, attack the tribe of the Huns, remember to leave some key evidence!"
"After letting their cattle and horses startle and break the fence, retreat immediately and don't stay, otherwise death will be in vain, do you understand?"
Sima Yi ordered solemnly.
"Yes, General Sima!"
A centurion who was named stood up. He had a scar on his face. He used to be a slave in Sima's mansion, but now he appeared here.
The main reason is that in order to be able to slowly control Cao Cao's army in his own hands, Sima Yi inserted a lot of centurions in some grassroots teams.
These small positions are difficult to attract the attention of those in power. This is Sima Yi's brilliance. He does not move those positions of commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief.
That way, without anyone noticing, those centurions would slowly corrupt the entire army, and finally be in their own hands.
"Okay, then the rest of us will go around immediately!"
"So as not to be discovered by those Huns!"
"Your team, after successfully escaping, don't return immediately. You have to go to the Hanzhong area for a while, and then return, so as not to attract suspicion!"
Sima Yi ordered.
"Yes, General Sima!"
Soon, Sima Yi had made arrangements and left with his troops.
In the middle of the night, in the Xiongnu tribe, countless bonfires had been extinguished, leaving only one large fire pile to drive away the wolves, illuminating the entire area as if it were daytime.
There are herdsmen in twos and threes, sitting around the campfire, chatting about some joys on the grassland, and sometimes even chuckling a few times.
They looked extremely relaxed and seemed not at all worried that someone would sneak up on them.
Because since the era of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing ended, the Han Dynasty has always adopted the method of making peace with the grasslands to ensure peace on the frontier.
Since then, there has been no more cases of Central Plains generals invading the grasslands, so all the herdsmen have relaxed their vigilance.
"boom!!"
"Clap!!"
At this moment, there was a thunderous sound in the air in several tents, and suddenly those tents exploded like tofu.
There was a scream from inside, and the tent was ignited by the fire.
Soon, countless herdsmen were alarmed.
"It's not good, enemy attack!!"
"Quick! Sound the horn!"
The herdsmen were all awakened, with a trace of fear on their faces, facing the dark night sky, they had no idea how many enemies were attacking them.
"quick!"
"hiss!!"
Soon, the neighing of war horses sounded, and countless war horses immediately became excited after being attacked by artillery fire, and they slammed into the fence one after another.
Soon, the war horse was broken, and countless cattle and sheep fled on the grassland like a flood, scaring all the cattle and sheep away at once, and the herdsmen on the grassland danced anxiously.
"kill!!"
Soon, hundreds of soldiers dressed in Hanzhong uniforms killed the Huns directly, as if they were soldiers descended from heaven.
"asshole!!"
"All the people gather for me, but there are only a few hundred people, and they dare to be arrogant on the grassland!"
"Get out, archer, get ready to shoot!!"
The little leader of the Xiongnu tribe was extremely angry. He felt that he had been tricked, and he was killed by an army of 500 people. This was simply a great humiliation.
"withdraw!!"
Just when he was about to organize a large number of herdsmen to fight back, the team of 500 people immediately turned their horses and retreated in the direction they had come.
After a while, it had disappeared into the vast night.
"Leader, what should we do? Do you want to continue the pursuit?"
"Destroy those people to ashes?"
A prairie warrior opened his eyes as big as copper bells and said loudly.
"Chasing Paralysis!"
"Please use your brains, what if there is an ambush, they may just want to make us mess up, and then attack each of us!"
"Order everyone to shrink their defenses!"
"Send a team of thousands of people out to drive back those frightened cattle and sheep, otherwise, we will be out of food!"
The little leader of the Xiongnu tribe slapped the herdsman on the head and ordered loudly.
"Yes, chief!"
Soon, a team of 1000 people was sent out, and the rest of the people stared at the surroundings and lit up all the torches.
