Liu Hao reined in his war horse, and saw that on the sparkling water, two warships of about 2,000 stones were speeding towards his side, and someone on the bow of the warship was waving to him.

At this time, the envoy of the King of Qi hurriedly said: "General, that's the enemy army, let's leave quickly!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry!"

Liu Hao stopped the envoy of the King of Qi, looked at it for a while, and said, "They don't seem to be hostile!" ”

After a while, the warship gradually docked, only twenty or thirty steps away from them, and a general on the bow of the ship hugged his fists and smiled: "General Liu, I am Cao Guang, the deputy commander of General Li's navy, I have news to inform the general!" ”

"What's the matter, Your Excellency?" Liu Hao asked vigilantly.

Cao Guang pointed to the east and said loudly: "Just ten miles ahead, an ambush of more than 1,000 people attacked Li Shigu and his men, Li Shigu was shot by random arrows, and his head was cut off. ”

Liu Hao was taken aback and asked sharply, "How is it possible?" ”

"If General Liu doesn't believe it, you can ask these two envoys, they know very well!"

The faces of the two messengers changed greatly, they turned their horses and fled, Liu Hao's men were caught off guard and did not stop them, they were about to chase, Liu Hao shouted: "Let me come!" ”

He took off his bow and arrows, stretched out his bow and arrows, and shot an arrow, which was the hind leg of the warhorse of the first messenger, and the war horse neighed and fell to the ground, throwing the first messenger far away.

Liu Hao's subordinates rushed forward, Liu Hao's face was cloudy, and he asked, "How does General Cao know?" ”

Cao Guang smiled slightly: "That army is still in ambush ten miles away!" General Liu went and fell into their encirclement. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Hao asked again.

"Just ask the messenger and you'll know."

At this time, Liu Hao's subordinates escorted the messenger back, Liu Hao stepped forward and slapped him a few times, gritted his teeth and asked, "Say!" What the hell is going on? ”

The envoy lowered his head and said nothing, Liu Hao snorted, "If you don't want to say it, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

He turned around and ordered: "Peel him and cramp him, cut him into small pieces and feed the fish!" ”

The messenger was visibly frightened, and suddenly asked, "If I had said it, would the general have spared my life?" ”

"If you say it, I can spare you from dying!"

"Good! I believe in the general's promise, and I have done it all! ”

The envoy then recounted in detail Wu Xiaoqian's ambush of Li Shigu, killing Pan Yu, and capturing Li Na, and finally said: "The general received a letter from Li Na, which was written by Wu Xiaoqian pretending to be Li Na, and he did have an ambush in the south, not only to kill the general, but also to annex the general's army. ”

Liu Hao's face changed greatly, he knew that he had been tricked to divert the tiger from the mountain, how was his army now?

Liu Hao turned his head to look at Cao Guang again, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, the Jin army obviously knew Wu Xiaoqian's plan, since they knew, would Wu Xiaoqian's plan still succeed?

Cao Guang smiled slightly: "General Liu, please get on the boat!" Just for safety, if General Liu wants to leave, he can leave at any time. ”

Liu Hao kicked the messenger away, "I won't kill you, get out!" ”

The messenger knelt down and kowtowed twice, limped eastward, he knew that he had lost his hand, and he would die if he went back, so it was better to flee back to his hometown in Qingzhou.

Liu Hao hugged his fist at Cao Guang and said, "Then it will bother General Cao!" ”

........

Let's move the time forward a little later, on the night of Liu Hao's departure, an army of more than 10,000 people was quietly approaching the barracks on the south bank of Yunshui, the barracks were brightly lit, the big tent was full of figures, it seemed to be eating, and there were people laughing loudly, and there were faint intermittent drums in the camp.

Wu Xiaoqian led 10,000 troops to arrive at the barracks fifty paces away, and there was a circle of carts outside the barracks, and the situation inside was not very clear.

Wu Xiaoqian looked at the barracks, he faintly saw people walking around the barracks, and a general asked in a low voice: "General, is it a trick, or do you want to kill it directly?" ”

To use the strategy is to take over this army directly, which is of course the best result, but what if the other party only recognizes Liu Hao's orders and refuses to hand over power? I don't know if I'm going to get stuck in it.

Wu Xiaoqian gritted his teeth and said, "Blow the trumpet, kill in!" ”

"Whew-"

The trumpet sounded suddenly, and 10,000 soldiers shouted and slaughtered into the camp.

There were indeed more than 100 people walking around in the camp, and when 10,000 troops came from the south and east, they immediately rushed to the north, jumped into the Yunshui, and swam to the opposite bank.

10,000 troops rushed into the camp like a tide, a group of soldiers rushed into a big tent, and the tent was lit with torches, only to see five or six soldiers in leather armor eating around the table, motionless, several soldiers could not help but say, raised their spears and stabbed them, but the other party was unexpectedly light, and was lifted in the air.

"It's a straw man!"

The soldier exclaimed, and several of the other soldiers whose heads had been cut off were also straw men.

"It's a straw man!" There were exclamations of exclamation from many of the tents.

Wu Xiaoqian also stabbed the enemy general hiding in the corner and found that it was a straw man.

"Fooled!"

A thought flashed through Wu Xiaoqian's mind.

"Retreat quickly!" Wu Xiaoqian shouted urgently.

At this moment, tents were set on fire on all sides of the camp, and the fire spread extremely rapidly.

The soldiers were terrified and fled in all directions, with one of the generals shouting: "Flee to the north!" Flee to the north! ”

The Qi soldiers pushed each other, trampled on each other, and fled for their lives to the north.

Outside the camp, the galloping cavalry kept throwing torches at the tent, and even the outside trenches were on fire.

I saw one by one the burning men running out of the camp, screaming wildly, running for more than a dozen steps, falling to the ground, and being burned and curled up in a ball.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the entire camp was engulfed in flames, and it was unlikely that they would escape from any other direction except to jump into Yunshui to the north to escape.

At this time, there were thousands of soldiers soaking in the water in the north, and none of them dared to move, because on the north bank, there were thousands of cavalry with bows and arrows staring at them, if they did not move, the other side would not send arrows, and if they tried to sneak away, they would inevitably be killed by random arrows.

The fire only burned for less than half an hour, when the tent was burned out, the fire was slowly extinguished, although the fire was very big for a while, but the lethality was not strong, the main thing was that the fire was burning in the air, not burning on the ground, as long as the soldiers lay on the ground and did not move, they could often escape, but lying on the ground were easy to be trampled by their companions, in fact, the soldiers who trampled to death have exceeded the soldiers who were burned to death.

Groups of blackened soldiers came out of the camp as if out of hell, and the soldiers were so emaciated that they collapsed on the grass without fire, unable to move any longer.

Then the soldiers of the Qi army in the river also climbed ashore under the surveillance of the cavalry, raised their hands and walked outside the camp.

The fire caused nearly 1,000 soldiers to die in the fire, but nearly 2,000 soldiers died by trampling, smoked to death, drowned in the river and other reasons, and the commander Wu Xiaoqian was buried in the fire with his feudal town dream, and the Jin soldiers found Wu Xiaoqian burned beyond recognition under the carcass of a charred war horse.

Wu Xiaoqian's war horse tripped over the ropes of the tent, and the burning tent turned over and covered the men and horses, burning one man and one horse alive below.

At this time, the general Zhao Ying urged him to step forward and reported to Li Bingyu: "General Qiyu, the count has been completed and 7,100 prisoners of war have been captured. ”

Li Bing nodded, "You lead five thousand cavalry to guard these prisoners of war!" ”

"Obey!"

Li Bing then led 5,000 cavalry to the north of Yunshui.

Ten miles northwest of Daying, there is a forest covering an area of hundreds of acres, which is basically pine trees, and Liu Hao's 10,000 troops are hiding here.

The adjutant general, Fei Lin, received a quick letter from Li Bing in the afternoon, telling them that Wu Xiaoqian would attack them at night, suggesting that they evacuate the camp and let the Jin army deal with the sneak attackers.

Fei Lin knew very well the strength of the Jin army, and there was no need to do more to annihilate them, so he chose to believe Li Bing, led the army to leave the camp, crossed Yunshui, and ordered the soldiers to temporarily hide in this pine forest.

At night, Fei Lin and the soldiers saw the raging fire in the night sky, which made them tremble, and they did not know how many people would die in this battle.

But Fei Lin was worried that it was not the firelight, but that he found that countless cavalry had surrounded them, after all, they were still Qi troops, and the Jin army would let them go after cleaning up Wu Xiaoqian?

At this time, a soldier rushed to report: "General, the other party's soldier Cao joined the army Gongsun Lianghei and asked to see him!" ”
