Yu Jin's sternness was quite famous among Cao's army. The soldiers he trained were more afraid of him than respected him. Yu Jin was also unkind to his friends. In this era when human kindness is greater than the law, an unkind person like Yu Jin
The reason why a master who understands human nature and sophistication can run rampant in the court of Wei for so many years is because there is no one in Wei.
Yu Jin had a friend named Chang Xi who was a bandit and later surrendered to Cao Cao. But soon, Chang Xi led the bandits to rebel. Cao Cao immediately sent a large army to attack Chang Xi. Seeing that he was about to fail, Chang Xi ran to Yu Jin to plead for mercy.
According to common sense, Yu Jin should have let Chang Xi go, right? At least he would have interceded for him in front of Cao Cao. But the result was that Yu Jin had Chang Xi killed on the grounds that he "cannot lose his integrity". Afterwards, Cao Cao worshiped Jin.
General Huwei. Just because of this incident, Yu Jin's reputation plummeted in the court.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Lu Xun and others lurked near Duotou Cliff. With only a few soldiers, they quietly climbed up the mountain next to Duotou Cliff. Avoiding the soldiers on the mountain, a few people lay on the top of the cliff and looked down.
Just as the scouts said, the entire mountain col was hollowed out by Yu Jin, with yellow soil exposed on both sides. The trees and grass on the mountain had been cut down cleanly, and a few large grain lumps stood erected at the bottom of the mountain col.
"This guy is still in formation, and the battle is so big!" Huang Xu lowered his voice and said: "The soldiers are outside, and the food and grass are in the middle. If you want to get closer to the food and grass, you must fight in, otherwise no one will be able to move the food and grass."
Lu Xun said nothing and watched quietly. The sky turned completely dark, and torches were lit in the Wei camp. In order to prevent the food and grass from being ignited, only the area where the food and grass was stored in the middle was dark. There were pairs of soldiers coming and going.
Patrols were carried out according to certain rules. Yu Jin's Chinese military tent was in the middle near the grain and grass. It was brightly lit and people came and went.
Suddenly, a scream came from the mountain col, which was heard very clearly in this silent night: "Ah! General, spare your life! Ah...!"
Looking carefully, just outside the Zhongjun tent, two or three naked people were tied to pillars, and someone whipped them severely with a whip. Du Yu pointed at the man standing in the Zhongjun tent.
The person who said: "Look, he is Yu Jin!"
Yu Jin was dressed in plain clothes, without any armor, and stood quietly with his hands behind his back, turning a deaf ear to the shouts of those people. The beating lasted for about half an hour and I don't know how many times he was whipped before those few were let go.
He came down and was carried away by a few soldiers. Yu Jin also turned around and entered the tent. Huang Xu sneered: "This guy is really ruthless. I have always heard that Yu Jin is good at running the army. I didn't expect him to be so good at running the army."
!”
Several people retreated along the original path. Although they had not yet figured out a way to rob the grain, it at least confirmed the rumors about Yu Jin's severity. Lu Xun fell into deep thought. Huang Xu on the side was still shouting that the only way to burn the grain and grass was to kill them.
There was no other way. Du Yu looked at these two completely different young generals of the Dragon Army and began to understand why Long Fei deliberately let them choose this place during the lottery.
Long Fei has a thorough understanding of Yu Jin. Yu Jin is not a general with outstanding martial arts. Yu Jin's advantage lies in his careful thinking and good at marching and formation. Of these two people, Huang Xu is brave and good at shooting. His marksmanship is passed down from his family.
After receiving orders from his father-in-law Zhao Yun, he can be regarded as the most valiant general among the second generation of the Dragon Army. And Lu Xun is resourceful and is known as a future handsome man. His bravery and wisdom are definitely a perfect combination. I came here to see clearly this time
Came here to observe.
The sky dawned again, and Huang Xu did not rush Lu Xun, nor did he send troops on his own initiative. Among these little brothers, Lu Xun was recognized as a wise man. Even if Long Fei appointed Huang Xu as the captain this time, he still had the final say on everything.
In the hands of Lu Xun. In desperation, Huang Xu could only go to the sentinel to observe the movements of Duotou Cliff at any time while ensuring his own safety. Only Lu Xun and Du Yu were left in the open space in the woods.
"Has the prince-in-law not figured out a way to deal with Yu Jin yet?" Du Yu asked after holding it in for a whole night. At this time, the two of them were left alone.
Lu Xun turned around and smiled slightly: "The important thing in marching and fighting is calculation. I have already calculated three steps, but this last step is not yet mature!"
"Oh? This sounds new!" Du Yu said.
Lu Xun continued: "The first step is to send people to spread the word, saying that His Majesty has sent people to cross the Yellow River to rob food and disrupt Yu Jin's current defense!" Du Yu nodded. Lu Xun continued: "Then continue
Create a high-pressure situation and frighten the Wei army guarding here. In this way, the Wei army will inevitably be somewhat confused, and Yu Jin's character will become even more violent!"
Du Yu still nodded: "Self-insurrection is the key to defeating more with less. The prince-in-law's plan is very good! He just doesn't know how to burn food!"
Lu Xun looked at Du Yu: "This last step is the most risky. If we are not careful, our entire army will be wiped out. I intend to send one person to the Wei army to contact those soldiers who are dissatisfied with the ban, so as to cooperate inside and outside!"
Du Yu looked at Lu Xun, and Lu Xun looked at Du Yu. After a long time, Du Yu stood up and said, "I will go there eventually!"
"Yuan Kai has thought carefully. If Yu Jin finds out, he will be killed. These soldiers were trained by Yu Jin. Yuan Kai doesn't know their temper!" Lu Xun also stood up and gave a friendly reminder.
Du Yu smiled: "Don't worry, Prince Consort, I, Du Yu, still know this."
When Huang Xu came back, Du Yu had disappeared. Huang Xu looked around and asked Lu Xun. Lu Xun told him that Du Yu had gone on a secret mission. At the same time, Lu Xun told Huang Xu about the first two steps of his plan.
When Huang Xu heard this, he went to prepare without saying a word.
Two days later, a message came from nowhere, saying that Long Fei had sent a large army to cross the Yellow River defense line, and the target was Makino's grain and grass. Some people said that the number of Long's army this time was no less than ten thousand, and some said that he had personally witnessed it.
They saw 20,000 soldiers and horses coming from the bank of the Yellow River, and they said anything. The news spread quickly among the Wei army, and soon almost all the Wei army knew about it.
After Yu Jin listened, he said coldly: "Don't take these rumors to heart. The general did not send back a battle report about someone sneaking across the Yellow River defense line, which shows that this is Long Fei's plan to disrupt the morale of our army.
Unbelievable!"
After another two days, the incident became more and more true, and everyone said it as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes. At the same time, the atmosphere around Makino also changed. Many soldiers who went out alone did not respond. Their
The corpses will be placed at the gate of Makino City the next day, scaring the people away from going out. As the number of people increases and the temperature rises, the smell of these corpses begins to spread in Makino City.
Someone had the guts to report the matter to the Wei army in Guantou Cliff. After verification, it was indeed the soldiers of their Wei army. Basically, they were soldiers who went out alone or did not believe the rumors. This incident caused a second round of controversy among the Wei army.
Panic. The originally peaceful army began to become uneasy. Especially the scouts who were sent to patrol often returned quickly after walking only a mile or two for fear of being ambushed.
Seeing that the morale of the army was unstable, Yu Jin immediately ordered that anyone who dared to discuss the matter again would be killed without mercy! Anyone who did not follow the normal patrol route would be killed without mercy! As soon as the two killing orders were issued, twenty more people were executed within three days.
In order to frighten other soldiers, their heads were hung at the entrance of the camp. Although no one talked about it on the surface, privately the soldiers believed in the Dragon Army's surprise attack.
In order to completely cut off the rumors, Yu Jin once again issued an order, mentioning the word "Dragon Army" and "thirty whips". For a time, there was a sound of whips in the Wei camp, and the screams did not stop for days and nights. Some soldiers began to complain, and everyone
When they saw Yu Jin, they all walked around. Some soldiers also made sarcastic remarks, saying that if Yu Jin had the ability, Sima Yi would not seize the governorship by Sima Yi, but now he has become someone's guard dog, and he is shameless.
After hearing these words, Yu Jin became even more angry and insulted the commander. After repeated investigation, the first soldier who said this was beheaded by Yu Jin himself in front of everyone. The soldiers' eyes widened and the boss followed Yu Jin.
After decades of fighting, they ended up like this. If Longjin really attacked, none of them would be able to survive. It would be better to die on the battlefield than to be killed by one of their own people.
Seeing that the time to burn food was getting closer, Lu Xun still disagreed with Huang Xu's suggestion of attacking by force, and was still waiting anxiously for news from Du Yu. Every day he would quietly go out of the woods to see what Wei Jun was doing. He would take action tonight, and Du Yu
There is no news about the plan, and I don't know if it will succeed. If Du Yu fails, the former bodyguard regiment in his hands will never come back.
Midnight was the agreed time for action, and a fire suddenly broke out in the Wei military camp in the Duantouya Mountain Col. The soldiers yelled to put out the fire and became a mess, and there was also the sound of weapons clashing. It seemed that Guantouya was suddenly in chaos.
Lu Xun sat up and everyone nearby woke up. They had been waiting for this scene for a long time. Lu Xun shouted to Huang Xu: "Brother Huang, hurry, hurry! Du Yu succeeded and entered Duetou Cliff.
Burn the food and grass!"
Huang Xu shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" A line of war horses came out of the hidden woods, charging and shouting loudly: "The Dragon Army is coming! The Dragon Army is coming!"
The soldiers of the Wei army who had long heard that the Dragon Army was crossing the river did not expect that they would actually come. Yu Jin was suddenly woken up and shouted twice, but no one responded. He had to start to put on his clothes, pick up his own spear and walk out.
The tent. The scene in front of him shocked Yu Jin. He saw two groups of Wei troops fighting around the grain stacks. The leader was not very old, and his on-the-spot command was not chaotic at all. Only hundreds of people were marching towards the grain storage station.
Press forward step by step.
"Yu Jin, take your life!" There was a gust of wind behind his head, and a big knife was slashed at the back of Yu Jin's head. Yu Jin quickly lowered his head to dodge, and the big knife hit the air. The bun on the top of his head was hit just in time, and his long hair fell down, and
Together with his gray beard, he looked so tragic.
