Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 244 Tens of Thousands of Refugees
Chapter 245 Tens of Thousands of Refugees
Sima Tong disdained Sima Fu's immediate hurdle.

"There are tens of thousands of refugees flooding in at once. Everyone knows that they should prevent them from rioting. Do you still have such great hopes for them?"

"I didn't say not to let him guard against it, the key is whether we can guard against it."

"Brother Seven, these guys are doing something dark! They didn't expect the homeless riots to have much effect. The task they gave these slaves was to kill and set fire to destroy Luoyang as much as possible." Sima Fu said in a low voice.

"Hmph! If you do this, you will be punished by God!" Sima Tong said in disgust.

"Also, they'd better not leave anything behind! Otherwise, Cao's father and son will deal with them together, and it's hard not to die!"

"They're not as smart as Brother Seven, but they're not fools either. How could they leave anything behind?"

"I won't leave any clues? The bandits in Mangshan were sent by the idiot surnamed Zheng, huh! Zheng Yi is dead this time!" Sima Tong said, throwing the paperwork in his hand to Sima Fu.

"Why did Cao Chong ask Seventh Brother to help suppress the bandits?" Sima Fu asked after looking at the document.

"Mang Mountain is located between Ping County, Yanshi County, and Gong County. What's wrong with Cao Chong inviting me, the magistrate of Ping County, to help suppress the bandits?"

"Cao Chong really wants to wipe out this group of Mangshan bandits?" Sima Fu asked.

"He has long wanted to kill these bandits, but he has no chance. This time, the idiot surnamed Zheng sent these bandits to Luoyang, just in time to pass the opportunity into his hands."

"But Seventh Brother, not to mention that Mang Mountain is not under the jurisdiction of Luoyang, and it is located in three counties. Bandits, right? Once the bandits get into the mountains and forests, the officers and soldiers basically have nothing to do with them."

"Hmph! Why do you think that the three county officials won't help?" Sima Tong asked with a sneer.

"Could it be that Seventh Brother is going to help Cao Chong?"

"Of course!"

"Seventh Brother, why are you doing this?" Sima Fu didn't understand, didn't Seventh Brother hate Cao Chong to the core?
"The idiot surnamed Zheng has been doing evil around Mangshan for many years. The people and the government around Mangshan have hated him for a long time. When I first came to Ping County, this idiot actually tried to threaten me! He provoked Cao Chong this time, hehe ! If you don't die, you have to shed a layer of skin!"

"Hey, Seventh Brother, you can slowly settle accounts with Zheng Yi after you hate Zheng Yi. There's no need to take advantage of Cao Chong this time!"

"You think I want to take advantage of Cao Chong? As you said, even with the help of the three counties' government, it would not be so easy for Cao Chong to exterminate these gangsters, but don't forget Henan Yin, the superior of the three counties." When Sima Tong said this , also looked helpless.

"Seventh brother said Henan Yin Guohe will help Cao Chong this time?"

"Little Fu, you need to broaden your horizons in the future!" Sima Tong taught Sima Fu a lesson.

"Seventh brother, please tell me clearly, is it possible that Guo He would rather offend the Zheng family and help Cao Chong?" Sima Fu asked doubtfully.

"He's not helping Cao Chong, he's helping Cao Ah! Henan Yin Guohe, as well as Zhong Yao and Wei Ji, two Sili captains, are all Cao Ah's confidantes. The main energy of Sili captain is in Guanzhong, and Henan Yin's main role used to be Staring at Luoyang, now Luoyang is under the control of Cao Chong, now? It is very likely that the group of bandits in Mangshan will be targeted!"

After Sima Tong finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and continued to explain to his cousin.

"This Guo He is Cao Aman's confidant. Last time the court officials asked Cao Aman to abolish the farming system, Guo He personally went to Xudu to help Cao Aman to talk about the matter. I also heard that Guo He seemed to be interested in befriending Cao Chong. Last year Before the autumn harvest, Cao Chong paid a special visit to Guo He, and that time Guo He helped Cao Chong arrest Liu Xiang, the former magistrate of Jianxi County!"

After hearing this, Sima Fu fell into deep thought. He didn't know about Cao Chong and Guo He, but last year when Guo He went to Xudu to talk about Xiang in the court, he knew it very well.

"Even if Guo He will help Cao Chong destroy the Mangshan bandits this time, Zheng Yi will not be involved, right? Guo He dares to attack the Zheng family without any real evidence? Moreover, Zheng Yi's uncle, Zheng Hun, still works in the prime minister's mansion. .” Sima Fu asked Sima Tong after thinking about it.

"Hmph! Although the Zheng family calls themselves the Xingyang Zheng family, their ancestors are in Kaifeng, and Zheng Yi in Xingyang County is not considered a direct branch of the Zheng family. What you did is already dead!"

"Brother Seven is saying that Cao Chong is going after Zheng Yi this time?" Sima Fu frowned.

"Even if Cao Chong can wipe out the Mangshan bandits this time, it won't be so easy to deal with Zheng Yi. Seventh brother, let's say the same thing. Don't talk about Guo He if there is no real evidence. Zheng Hun's official voice is excellent." Sima Fu thought about it and said to Sima Tong.

"I'm afraid that Cao Chong can really find out the real evidence, and with Zheng Yi's idiot character, it is inevitable that he will leave something behind." Sima Tong said disdainfully.

After Sima Tong finished speaking, he ordered people to assemble the third class of yamen servants.

"Brother Seven, are you really going to help Cao Chong? There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?"

"Hmph! I have already received the official document from Luoyang. It is estimated that Henan Yin's order will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest. If you don't rush to prepare, why don't you let Cao Chong sue me in front of Henan Yin!"

Not to mention that the Sima Tong brothers began to gather Yamen servants and arrest them quickly. Cao Chong had already rushed to Yanshi County to reconcile with Lu Xun.

Seeing Cao Chong coming in person, Lu Xun hurried forward: "Young master, Lu Xun was entrusted by the young master to let the thieves break into the resettlement site, and now he has let the young master go into danger..."

"Okay, that's not your fault, tell me how the thief is doing now? It seems that we haven't reached Mount Mang yet, right?"

When Cao Chong saw Lu Xun, he was very puzzled: Bandits, it is said that they saw the officers and soldiers coming, so why not rush into the deep mountains, but this group of bandits stopped at a hill outside Mang Mountain, and Lu Xun each took possession of it. A hilly highland confronts there.

"Young master, between the hill in front of you and Mount Mang is a narrow and long valley, which is just opposite to the entrance of the valley, where the bandits are lining up their troops!"

"Arranging troops? Does this mountain bandit understand military formation?" Cao Chong was taken aback.

"Not only do I understand, but the arrangement is quite good. It seems that we are going to fight us in the narrow valley behind the hill. The opponent not only built fortifications on the spot, but also hid the cavalry on the sides, and the crossbowmen ambushed on the high place. , if our army enters rashly, I am afraid there will be heavy casualties!" Lu Xun reported to Cao Chong.

"Wait, you're talking about a wave of bandits? Why do I sound like a regular army?" Cao Chong asked in surprise.

"This wave of bandits must have been the army before, at least part of it."

I underestimated these thieves!It turned out to be from a regular army. It is estimated that deserters and defeated troops fled to Mangshan during the Luoyang chaos.

This wave of thieves dared to take advantage of the terrain to confront Lu Xun head-on when they were at a disadvantage in numbers!
