Chapter 364, Liu Bei's plan to set fire to the mountain
Just when Xu Sheng was secretly afraid in his heart, the riot of Liu Bei's army finally stopped, and began to slowly retreat towards the camp.
But there were still many soldiers who looked back at the dark woods, and their eyes were full of anger.
Even Xu Sheng, who was deep in the darkness, couldn't help but feel the killing intent coming from those soldiers, and this feeling made Xu Sheng feel like falling into an ice cave.
If it weren't for Yuda Feng's reminder, I'm afraid Xu Sheng would have yelled out by now.
After seeing all the soldiers enter the camp, Xu Sheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time he understood what Fang Cai Tian Feng meant when he said that he wanted to die.
Liu Bei on the other side was lying on the desk with his head propped up, in fact, this serial plan had trapped Liu Bei to death, and now the only way was to retreat.
"Zhongkang! How are the soldiers doing now? Is there relief? Liu Bei said weakly, his heart could be described as very sad.
I got the title of King of Qingzhou, and I finally wanted to correct my reputation, but I didn't want to encounter such a thing, so it would be good to let myself win once and have an excuse.
But it backfired, and he was stuck in a quagmire on the first day of his expedition.
Xu Chu looked at the extremely lost Liu Bei and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, for the first time Xu Chu felt sad that he was just a martial artist.
"Now the situation of the soldiers is not optimistic, many soldiers have been irritable, and all the crazy soldiers have been killed by me!"
Because Xu Chu didn't know how to comfort Liu Bei, he still said to Liu Bei honestly.
Listening to Xu Chu's words, the entire big tent fell into an eerie silence again, only the candles on the table were burning, as if telling all kinds of desolation in his heart.
"After this battle, I have no name for righteousness!" Liu Bei sighed slightly and said, many people have seen today's events, although the reason is that they were forced to be helpless.
But everyone is the same, when the rumors are spread, it is only a matter of time before they turn sour, and maybe in a few days, there will be rumors in Qingzhou that they have killed the soldiers and are discouraged.
"My lord, this matter is not yours! I also killed people, and I am to blame them! Otherwise, I'll warn the soldiers not to spread the word!" Xu Chu said anxiously after hearing Liu Bei's words.
His arms were also waving constantly, and he looked very impatient.
"Zhongkang has a heart, but this is just a symptom but not a cure, forget it and let him go!" Liu Bei looked at Xu Chu, who was impatient, with a touched look on his face.
"Today, I led my soldiers to kill for more than dozens of miles because of greed, and tonight with this endless disturbance, how should our army act..."Liu Bei looked at the roof of the tent and said slowly.
Xu Chu didn't dare to speak indiscriminately when he saw this, if he said that he would not let him charge, then these strategic plans would be a little difficult for him.
"But speaking of the lord, what about this kid Lu Yi? Didn't you say that Lu Yi was an undercover agent among the bandits? Why hasn't there been any movement for so long! Suddenly, Xu Chu looked at him as if he had thought of something
Liu Bei asked.
Liu Bei's pupils shrank after hearing Xu Chu's words, yes! What about Koji! Doesn't it mean that Koji has successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior? Why is there no news at all? Did he betray himself?
Maybe Liu Bei would never have thought that there were still people among the thieves who could suppress Lu Yi, and now Lu Yi was in charge of Yuan Shao's side, so naturally he couldn't take care of Liu Bei.
Just when Liu Bei was entangled, there was a sudden sound of pigeons cooing outside the tent, and I saw a soldier walking into the tent quickly, holding a white pigeon in his hand.
"The lord has news from the North Sea!" The soldier took down the small note on the pigeon's feet and handed it to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei took the small note in the soldier's hand with some curiosity and looked at it, only to see that it was written that the situation had changed, and the righteousness could not take care of Yuan's affairs!
Although the words on it were very brief, after matching the current situation, Liu Bei instantly understood why Lu Yi did not appear.
"Damn! I can't imagine that there is such a person among the bandits! It's a pity that it can't be used for me! Liu Bei said with some sighs, "Could it be that God doesn't help me Liu Bei?" ”
"My lord, how did you know that there are capable people among the bandits?" Xu Chu walked behind Liu Bei and looked at the note, and then asked with some doubts.
"Lu Yi can only be called a must-have among the bandits, not to mention that he brought all the first dead soldiers under his command away, if it weren't for the suppression of capable people among the bandits, An Neng would be humiliated and planned to resist Yuan Shao!"
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "It seems that the water among the thieves is very deep!" ”
"Then what should we do now, my lord!" Xu Chu didn't know if he understood what Liu Bei said, but asked Liu Bei again with a curious face.
"Now our army is tired, the bandit doesn't know the strength of the numbers, our army can't be defeated here!" Liu Bei slowly shook his head and said, "Zhongkang, you go quickly and order the soldiers to bury the pot and make rice!" ”
Suddenly, Liu Bei seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up and he said seriously to Xu Chu.
"Bury the pot and make rice? Right now? Xu Chu said with some surprise after hearing Liu Bei's words, the sky is not yet bright, is it too early to bury the pot and make rice.
"That's right, let the soldiers bury the pot and cook now!" Liu Bei said with an affirmative face, and a stunning light burst out of his eyes.
"No!" Seeing Liu Bei's insistence, Xu Chu could only nod slightly, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the tent.
After a while, there was a noisy sound in the silent camp, and a bonfire was also lit in the camp, and the delicious smell of food was slowly dispersed in the camp, and even faintly drifted away into the surrounding darkness.
Smelling the tempting smell, the soldiers who were originally very irritable also calmed down slightly, after all, the people take food as their sky, even if they are soldiers.
However, such a strange scene made Tian Feng's brows furrow slightly in the dark, and such a scene made Tian Feng a little confused.
"Will the second master be that Liu Bei's bait!" Xu Sheng looked at Liu Bei's army who was burying the pot and cooking below, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, as if he had smelled the fragrance of the food.
Gan Ning also looked at Tian Feng beside him with doubtful eyes, such a situation was not expected by himself.
Tian Feng saw Gan Ning looking at him suspiciously, and couldn't help but sneer, "It should be Liu Bei's bait, we are waiting and seeing!" Now is not the time to strike! ”
Hearing Tian Fengdu say this, Gan Ning couldn't force anything, so he could only wait patiently and slowly, after all, he didn't want his soldiers to die here in vain.
It seems that it was because those thieves saw Liu Bei's army full of murderous glances just now, so they didn't send troops to ask, and they didn't want to be someone else's wedding dress.
But what Tian Feng and the others didn't expect was that after Liu Bei's army finished eating, he actually pulled out a burning firewood from the fire and threw it directly out of the camp towards the deep forest.
If it is difficult for a single firewood to ignite a tree, then dozens or hundreds of firewoods are enough to ignite a raging mountain fire!
Liu Bei looked at the constantly burning woods, and his heart still seemed to be dissatisfied, and with a wave of his hand, those tents and fences became the nourishment of this mountain fire, and suddenly the monstrous fire illuminated the world red.
The heat wave dispersed in all directions, forming a blazing gale, which swept many frightened birds back into the raging fire again.
"Not good! Then Liu Bei wants to escape! The moment the mountain fire ignited, Tian Feng understood what Liu Bei was thinking, and couldn't help but get up and shouted, not caring at all whether Liu Bei would find out if he would find out, to be precise, it didn't matter if he found it now.
"Big brother, please give an order quickly, lead the army to outflank and attack with this mountain fire, and you must kill most of Liu Bei's soldiers!" Tian Feng said loudly again, "Xu boy, you and I will lead a part of the brothers to control the fire, and we definitely can't let it spread!" ”
At this moment, Tian Feng was very decisive, without a trace of melancholy, but at this moment, Liu Bei's face was also full of sneers, and after confirming that the fire had been completely ignited, he led his troops to quickly withdraw towards the land of Beihai.
Although Gan Ning urgently notified Tian Feng's order, Liu Bei was already thinking of escaping, not only to let the soldiers have enough to eat, but even to throw all the grain and grass into the fire.
This time with the blockage of the mountain fire, even if Gan Ning and the others relied on the mountain to run down quickly, they only intercepted a small part of Liu Bei's team, and the rest disappeared in the vast fire.
"The big boss, the second boss said, now that Liu Bei has escaped, he will definitely not turn back, let us leave to Yuan Shao's side immediately, we must nail Yuan Shao here!" A soldier rushed to Gan Ning and said.
looked at the two raging fires, and after looking at Liu Bei's army who had run away, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Third brother, you take some people here to help the second brother, and the rest of the people and horses will go with me!" ”
With Gan Ning's roar, the bandit group, which was originally very chaotic, also found a direction in an instant, and began to rush towards the location of Yuan Shao's army.
Although there is no benefit from Liu Bei here, there is another Yuan Shao, who can always get some benefits from Yuan Shao's hands!
