Chapter 158 Huo Jun is Too Vicious

Huo Jun had a disagreement with Yunshan before and parted ways. He did not choose to go to Zhijiang, his hometown in Nanjun, but went north all the way to Xinye, where he stationed near Feishui, and began to incite the refugees to rebel.

A few days ago, everyone was busy dealing with Jiangling's affairs, so they had no time to deal with this idiot. They didn't expect him to grow up near Xinye, and even started to harass the Wancheng area, doing countless evil things.

"Zhong Miao, Zhong Miao, why did you do such a shameless thing." Cai Mao had a stern look on his face, as if he hated iron and steel, "He actually gave food and money to those refugees, he is simply insane!"

Guan Ping also nodded again and again, with a serious expression on his face:

"That's right. I heard that Huo Jun went to Xinye, where he actually forced the squires to reduce rent and interest rates. He also gathered a group of villainous slaves from the countryside to rebel against their masters. They looked like people living in dire straits."

Ma Liang also said with emotion:
"This Huo Jun, I used to say that he has a somewhat loyal heart, but I didn't expect him to be so lawless.

What did he do in Xinye to divide the fields and cattle? He distributed all the good land in the countryside to those refugees. The reduction of land rent and resistance to corvee caused Xinye to suffer heavy losses. Many gentlemen in the village were forced to support the elderly. Traveling south with young children, we can see what Xinye has become now. "

Le Jin, who had already boarded the position of Jingzhou Mu, saw that the three of them were sighing, and immediately slapped his thigh hard:
"This Huo Jun...in the past, he only said that he did something illegal in a fit of anger. I didn't want to argue with him at first, but I didn't expect him to be so rampant now.

Hmph, is it okay to be a thief in Xinye?I will personally lead the army to destroy it! "

Ma Liang said solemnly:
"No, the general is the lord of Jingzhou. Don't move lightly. If the general conquers by himself, people in Xiangyang will definitely change their minds and rumors will spread. Please ask the general to sit down in Xiangyang and send loyal people to deal with it."

Le Jin slapped his forehead, thinking why he still can't turn the corner, now he is no longer the fierce general who first ascended to beg for thieves, he is the leader of one party, of course he can't fight like before.

He cast his eyes on Guan Ping - when it comes to fighting, he is most assured of this invincible warrior, but Guan Ping's garrison in Fancheng was originally to fool Xiahou Dun, and the main force of his men is actually in Jiangxia. If such a large mobilization I'm afraid it will give Sun Liu a chance to take revenge.

At this moment, Cao Pi sneered and stood up:

"General, I am willing to go."

"Ah?" Le Jin never expected that Cao Pi would be willing.

The soldiers and horses under Cao Pi's other Sima are really quite crotchless. Basically, Le Jin and Cai Hao carefully changed them, combining those under his command who have no combat effectiveness or stabbing heads, and veteran soldiers together to show Cao Pi. A soldier who looks okay but has no combat power at all.

To be honest, when Xiangyang is waiting to write the battle report, it is enough to share some credit. What kind of battle is it?

Huo Jun was a mighty general under Yunshan's subordinates before, and it is said that he was not afraid of death and fought forward when he was attacking Guan Yu. As far as Cao Pi's subordinates are concerned, it is estimated that Huo Jun will all lie down when he charges.

Ke Lejin knew Cao Pi's bad temper, and if he directly rejected Cao Pi, he would definitely hate himself. He was thinking about what to do, but he didn't expect Guan Ping to stand up solemnly, and saluted Cao Pi:

"Unexpectedly, the young master has such courage, Yunmou admires it! The young master's matter of begging for thieves must be fully supported in Fancheng!"

Cai Hao also nodded again and again:
"Back when the young master was in Dangyang, Man Chong was captured, and Dangyang was in a bleak state. The young master stepped forward to stabilize his determination and personally put on armor to patrol the city. On the same day, Mao said that the prime minister's son was really good.

Now that the thieves are entrenched in Xinye, the young master has to take action!If you want money and food, Cai Mao will bear it all, and will never let the young master be wronged! "

Cao Pi understands everything about his mind. In history, after he was established as the prince by Cao Cao, he hugged Simpi's neck and shook it excitedly, as excited as if he had taken medicine.

Now he is even more arrogant, as soon as he is praised by others, he immediately raises his chin proudly, his fair face is covered with a layer of blush.

Master Ma's words are really good. You can slowly learn how to use soldiers by begging for thieves, and you can also gain the favor of everyone. When you surrender the soldiers here, I can take over the side in a justifiable way. When the time comes, you can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. After a few years, it will be evened out Sun Liu, if I can take over Le Jin and recruit wise men from Jingzhou, how can Zijian be my opponent.

Le Jin saw that Yunshan Cai Mao supported Cao Pi and felt a little strange, but he thought of Ma Liang’s advice—he should be calm now, and try not to care about other people in such mundane things as fighting. He laughed loudly:

"Okay, just follow your lords——Ji Chang, and talk with me for a round."

Ma Liang smiled wryly:
"The general has made great progress in his hand-talking skills recently. He really has the style of a national scholar. Liang is not an opponent."

Cai Mao pretended to be surprised:

"Is there such a thing? I have heard for a long time that I will not become a national player in the year of the weak crown, and I will have no hope in my life. The general still has such abilities? I don't accept it. I want to talk to the general for a few rounds!"

·
An idealist like Huo Jun would definitely not be able to bear such a stinking scene.

Although life in Xinye is hard and hard, Huo Jun feels very happy and comfortable.

He can breathe in the fresh air of Xinye and enjoy the reverent eyes of the people in these places. This makes the young Huo Jun feel extremely fulfilled, and he has found the meaning of his life.

He occupied the vicinity of Feishui and began to besiege the small number of Cao troops stationed in Xinye.

Huo Jun's soldiers are very elite, and Cao Jun in these counties cannot fight against them at all.

They were crushed in an instant, and each panicked.

If Huo Jun were another warlord, he would definitely rush to loot after breaking the city, or he might kill all the soldiers guarding the city.

But after Huo Jun entered the city, he only blocked the treasury of Xinye, and did not plunder the people of Xinye.

He called a meeting of the country gentlemen and celebrities in Xinye, and announced to them what he was going to do next:
"The bandits Cao have no way, occupied the Central Plains, hijacked the emperor, and slaughtered and plundered our Jingzhou very seriously. All the men in my Jingzhou want to fight to the death and destroy the Cao bandits.

Huo Jun was willing to be the vanguard and led his troops to station here to fight against Cao Jun.In the future, I will be with you in adversity, and I ask all the elders to take care of me. "

Huo Jun spoke politely, and then preached his military law to everyone in Xinye——

"Our enemies are only Cao Jun and those who assisted Cao Jun. It doesn't matter if you are forced to do things under the coercion of Cao Jun, but if you deliberately pass on news for Cao Jun and kill us who resisted Cao Jun, we will never forgive you."

"I have made a list of the names of the lords. If everyone helps me to break the Cao Cao, I will write a red dot under the names of the princes. If they help the emperor to abuse, I will write a black dot under the names of the princes.

If there are more red dots, the property we obtained from defeating Cao Jun can be distributed to the public. If there are more black dots, don’t blame me for leading the army to retaliate, and don’t blame me for not thinking of elders. "

"There are many water thieves in the Xinye area who endanger the people. I wait for the day to come. If the surrender no longer endangers the people, I can forget the past.

If you continue to abuse and harm the people, you will be dealt with by Cao thief's subordinates. "

"From now on, the area around the Feishui River will be under our jurisdiction. Please reduce the rent and interest, and help us to help the people and fight against powerful enemies together!"

Huo Jun's words were sonorous and powerful, but most of the people in Jingzhou who were coerced by him to come to the meeting ignored them.

A young man from Nanjun dared to boast nonsense.

Red and black accounts, extermination of water thieves, reduction of rent and interest...

Who came up with this idea?
They didn't take Huo Jun seriously at all. Although they kept saying yes, they had already decided in their hearts that they would connect with the water bandits and launch an attack as soon as Huo Jun left, and they would definitely wipe out Huo Jun and others.

Considering Huo Jun's combat strength, they also reported without hesitation to Cai Mao, the new Nanyang prefect, and Yunshan, the Jiangxia prefect who was temporarily stationed in Fancheng, asking them to send troops to suppress the bandits and wipe out this strong army.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the news was sent out, Huo Jun sent troops to the door, saying that the Xinye scholars who delivered the news should first record a black point, enough to record three generals to kill the whole family.

This at least shows that Huo Jun has a very good source of information, which greatly frightened the surrounding Xinye gentry, and many people really restrained a lot.

But there are still many people who are naturally unwilling to give up.

Huo Jun has only a few people under his command, and if one dies, there will be one less. There are many water bandits in the big rivers around Xinye. They occupy the waterways and have many contacts with the wealthy families in the city. big.

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, the news that Huo Jun and others entered Xinye and threatened Wancheng really caught Le Jin's attention.

Cao Pi led 500 soldiers under his command, dispatched by the army Sima Di himself, and stationed in Xinye City.

With Cao Cao's son coming in person, everyone felt that they had found their backbone.

Although Huo Jun hadn't caused any substantial damage to them before, having such a person entrenched in Lishui was a threat to them all.

These wealthy families donated money and food one after another, and many even contributed money to send troops, preparing to help Cao Pi smash Huo Jun.

The confident Cao Pi immediately led his army to station near Feishui to start a confrontation with Huo Jun.

Unexpectedly, when the two armies met, Cao Pi just called out to kill the thief, and more than half of his soldiers ran away.

Huo Jun took the opportunity to cover up the killing, Cao Pi was defeated, and his soldiers suffered countless casualties. More than 500 people were beheaded and more than [-] were killed in the first battle.

"How could this happen!" Cao Pi, who fled back to Xinye in a hurry, was furious.

What's the matter, even if the enemy is superhuman, it won't be like this in one battle, right?
The defeated Ma Di was full of confidence. He stroked his long beard slowly and said with a smile:
"There's no problem with the tactics, just come back next time. In the past, Gaozu was defeated several times by King Xiang. Didn't he win the world in the end?
I'll gather all the soldiers and fight again, I'm not afraid I won't be able to defeat Huo Jun. "

Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief.

Five days later, with the help of Xinye Haoshi, he gathered [-] soldiers and horses again, and went deep into Feishui to hunt for thieves.

But this time the classics reappeared again. After the two armies met, Huo Jun's shouts of killing sounded, and more than half of Cao Pi's soldiers escaped again, and the rest were surrounded by Huo Jun and beaten.

Once again, Cao Pi escaped all the way back to the city, and retreated directly to his mansion to pack his luggage. If Ma Su hadn't stopped him, he would have fled back to Fancheng immediately.

"You can't run." Ma Di was still calm, with a calm look, "Back then, Gaozu..."

"Farewell to Gaozu." Cao Pi was about to cry, "What's going on? What's going on? You Chang, this is different from what you said."

Ma Su calmly stroked his long beard and said with a smile:
"The tactics are fine, but I didn't expect Huo Jun to be so brave that he was not inferior to King Xiang..."

Cao Pi: ...

Are you kidding me?
Although Cao Pi doesn't know how to fight, he still has vision. Huo Jun's martial arts is still a bit inferior to that of Zhang Xiu back then, but his soldiers are too pusty. When he sees the enemy, he will run away most of them. Even if King Xiang is resurrected I can't win either.

"My lord, I can't leave. My lord is full of confidence. If you come here to fight against a strong enemy, if you lose, you will be blamed by the prime minister. Then Cao Zhi will..."

"Youchang, isn't this your idea!" Cao Pi wanted to die, and it was Ma Liang who said with certainty that Huo Jun had only a few hundred people and was unpopular, so there was nothing difficult to deal with.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice for him to be squatting in Xiangyang now to pick up some credit?

Now the offense is not Huo Jun's opponent at all, and everyone in Xinye looks at Cao Pi like a fool.

If he escaped, the prestige that he had worked so hard to accumulate before would be completely wiped out. Cao Cao was worried that he could not find a reason to let Cao Zhi take the position. Cao Pi's rash advance was so embarrassing this time, he must take the opportunity to attack.

Ma Su continued to smile calmly:

"It's okay, there are still two ways.

First, we will recruit good sons again, and the son will personally reward the drills, boost morale, and fight Huo Jun again.

in this way……"

"You should just say the second one..."

Cao Pi was beaten twice by Huo Jun, and the third time he dared not go.

"Is there an easier way?"

"Yes, there is." Ma Di bared his silver teeth and whispered, "Have you ever heard of killing a good man and pretending to be a meritorious deed?"
