The book is picked up again.

After the straw was ignited, Cao Cao looked at Li Zhi with a strange face and asked, "Mr. Mu, didn't you say that the straw would not be ignited?" This ......"

At this point, he pointed to the straw that had already ignited a raging fire, and its meaning was self-evident.

After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, his head was full of black lines, he didn't expect Cao Cao to be so ignorant of common sense.

Not to mention being covered with a damp cloth, even if you put the straw in the river and soak it all, these dozen torches can light it.

Therefore, Li Zhi said to Cao Cao with an unhappy face: "Alliance leader, your approach is like pouring a bowl of water on a raging fire, of course it won't work." ”

After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does Mr. Mu mean is that the leader of this alliance threw too many torches on the straw?" ”

"That's right," Li Zhi nodded, and said helplessly: "These dozen torches have evaporated all the water on the wet cloth, and of course they can be ignited."

If you change it to three or five torches, I'm afraid it won't have any effect. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao touched his short hair, then frowned and asked, "Mr. Mu, the enemy is not the leader of this alliance, and he will not be under the command of Mr. Mu."

If the enemy saw that three or five torches were not working, and threw dozens of torches in one place, wouldn't he be able to light the straw? ”

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Alliance leader, the function of these wet cloths is to prevent the straw from being ignited in the first place.

As long as it is not ignited in the first place, it gives us the opportunity to reflect.

The purpose of these straws was to catch the soldiers who fell from the walls, and after the soldiers fell, they could not immediately continue the siege.

Therefore, even if the enemy throws down the torches, as long as the straw is not lit in the first place, the soldiers who fall can throw all these torches elsewhere. ”

"I see" After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Cao Cao nodded clearly, and said with excitement on his face: "This method is promising!" ”

Cao Cao is a man of action, and after he finished speaking, he immediately instructed the heralds: "Pass on the order of the leader of this alliance, let all the straws in General Yuan Shu gather to the front line, and in addition, let him find a way to get some cloth!" ”

"Whoa!" After hearing Cao Cao's order, the herald answered and hurried away.

Yuan Shu, who was drinking and having fun in the rear, was surprised after receiving Cao Cao's order.

However, although he didn't know why Cao Cao wanted to use these things, he didn't delay and immediately asked people to prepare these things.

By the time everything was ready and transported to the front, it was getting dark.

"Dingding......

There was a pleasant sound of striking gold, and the soldiers who were besieging the city slowly retreated like a tide.

After all the soldiers returned and set up camp, Cao Cao also came to the big tent.

At this time, all the princes in the Great Tent had been waiting here for a long time.

After Cao Cao came in, Ma Teng, who was anxious, immediately stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Alliance leader, why did you summon me and others?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't answer immediately, and after sitting in his seat, he pressed his hand against Ma Teng, and motioned for him to sit down, before he spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why the leader of this alliance has invited you here is because the leader of this alliance has already thought of a way to break the enemy.

However, this method of destroying the enemy requires your help. ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Sun Jian immediately stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Although the alliance leader has something to order, why be so polite?"

As long as we can break through the Tiger Prison Pass, even if we and the whole army are wiped out, we will not hesitate! ”

After Cao Cao heard Sun Jian's words, he nodded slightly, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

Yesterday, Cao Cao had already taken Sun Jian under his command.

Of course, this acceptance does not mean that Sun Jian has become Cao Cao's retainer, but that Sun Jian is willing to stand on Cao Cao's side.

At this time, the reason why Sun Jian stood up and spoke was to take care of Cao Cao.

As Cao Cao expected, Sun Jian's words played a big role.

After he finished speaking, Ma Teng, who had always competed with Sun Jian, immediately stood up and agreed: "That's right, the alliance leader doesn't have to be so polite, just tell me something." ”

Since Sun Jian and Ma Teng, who are the princes of one party, have already stood up and said this, in order not to lose face, the others can only echo one after another: "General Sun and General Ma are reasonable.

As long as we can break through the Tiger Prison Pass, we will not hesitate even if the whole army is wiped out! ”

"Exactly, the old man agrees with this."

"That's right, please ask the alliance leader to command."

"Good!"

In the absence of everyone answering, Yuan Shao did not speak.

He looked at Cao Cao with a suspicious gaze, and he thought that Cao Cao's move was to seize the military power of the others, so he didn't dare to speak easily.

Cao Cao also saw Yuan Shao, who didn't speak, his eyes narrowed, and asked, "What objections does Brother Ben have?" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Shao, who was pondering, was immediately stunned after hearing Cao Cao's words.

At this time, he couldn't open his mouth to refute Cao Cao, because since everyone agreed, if he refuted, wouldn't it be out of line with the public?

Therefore, even if Yuan Shao didn't want to agree to this matter, he could only nod helplessly and said: "What the alliance leader said is reasonable, and I agree with it, everything is up to the alliance leader." ”

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao immediately picked up the wine cup and drank a glass of wine to hide the resentment in his heart.

After Cao Cao heard Yuan Shao's words, he nodded and said to everyone: "Tomorrow, you will divide half of the army and hand it over to the leader of this alliance, and we will go all out to besiege the Tiger Prison Pass!"

When the time comes, the attacking soldiers do not have to carry their blades, but can go up and fight the big shields.

As long as we can exhaust all these big shields, we will win a big victory!

When the time comes, you will definitely be able to lock the tiger prison in one fell swoop! ”

"This ......" Everyone was stunned after hearing Cao Cao's words, they didn't expect Cao Cao's method to be so simple.

However, after thinking about it for a while, everyone felt that although this method was simple and clumsy, it was very effective.

Although the big shield soldiers on the city wall are powerful, their number is too small, only six or seven thousand, as long as these six or seven thousand people are tired, then their shield array will not be attacked, and when the time comes, it will be much easier to attack the tiger prison again.

After thinking about it, everyone picked up the wine cup one after another, toasted Cao Cao, and praised loudly: "The leader of the alliance is wise, we will respect." ”

At this time, Kong Rong stood up even more, shook his head and said: "The so-called Great Dao is simple, although the alliance leader's method seems simple and clumsy at first glance, but after thinking about it, he is well versed in the principle of the Great Dao, come, I will wait for another cup to the alliance leader." ”

After finishing speaking, Kong Rong saluted the wine glass in his hand towards Cao Cao.

After hearing Kong Rong's words, everyone also stood up and said loudly to Cao Cao: "I'll wait for a cup of the alliance master!" ”

The reason why everyone complimented Cao Cao so much was because they saw the hope of victory.

And after killing Dong Zhuo and rescuing His Majesty, Cao Cao will definitely become a decisive figure.

After rescuing His Majesty, Cao Cao, as the leader of the alliance, will definitely be rewarded by His Majesty.

At that time, it will be difficult to climb Cao Cao's relationship again.

Therefore, they all wanted to befriend Cao Cao while he had not yet soared into the sky.

Even Yuan Shao, who was full of unhappiness, stood up and went with everyone, like Cao Cao toasting.

Yuan Shao knew that if he succeeded in courting Dong this time, even if he could control all the forces of the Yuan family in his hands in the future, his power might not be able to surpass Cao Cao, so Yuan Shao let go of the unhappiness in his heart and toasted to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw that everyone was toasting to him, and he was not polite, he stood up and saluted everyone in return: "Everyone, we are all contributing to the Han, and we should not be divided into you and me."

Although the leader of this alliance is fortunate to be elected as the leader of the alliance by everyone, but we all have the same status, come, we will drink this cup together! ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao drank all the wine in the cup, and then he lit up the bottom of the cup to everyone.

After everyone saw Cao Cao finish drinking, they all cheered loudly: "The alliance leader has a good amount of wine!" ”

After finishing speaking, everyone also drank the wine in front of them one after another.

While everyone was drinking, Li Zhi looked outside the camp.

Because he was afraid that the soldiers and horses in the city would sneak out of the city, the strategist in the city was Li Ru, who was the best at taking risks.

If Li Ru took advantage of the unpreparedness of everyone and sent a group of soldiers and horses to attack suddenly, I am afraid that it would deal a big blow to the coalition army.

Because, except for Cao Cao's subordinates, the soldiers of the other princes all have night blindness.

Most of Dong Zhuo's subordinates are Qiang people, who eat meat on weekdays, and few people have night blindness.

Therefore, if there is a night battle, then Dong Zhuo's side will have the upper hand in the battle.

After thinking of this possibility, Li Zhi looked at Cao Cao, who was having a banquet with everyone, gently tugged at his sleeve, and whispered: "Brother Meng De, have you arranged the precautions for the big camp?" I am afraid that Dong Zhuo's army will sneak attack at night. ”
