Chapter 148: The Fire Begins

The east wind was blowing, and it was very violent, and there was no movement until the hour, let alone the light of the fire.

"Sir!" Liu Feng got up, frowned at Liu Yi and said, "I will only send troops to Changsha when the east wind rises, and now that the east wind has arrived, why does Mr. have to wait for the fire to rise before setting off?" Starting now, you can arrive in Changsha before dawn, and take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to break through a city in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Yi sat on the Hu bed, and when he heard this, he glanced up at Liu Feng and said: "That's just a city, we only have 3,000 soldiers and horses, and Changsha has 12 cities. ”

"Could it be that if the so-called fire starts up, the city can be broken?" Liu Feng frowned.

"Yes, yes." Liu Yi nodded affirmatively, when the time comes, if some of Cao Jun's troops belonging to Jingzhou flee into Changsha, as soon as this news comes out, people's hearts will be confused, and then send troops again, with Liu Bei's reputation in Jingzhou, the effect is not the same as now.

"What if not?" Liu Feng frowned and said, if Zhuge Liang said this, he believed it, but Liu Yi is a craftsman, even if Liu Bei exalts him to give him the title of a Zhonglang general, he is still a craftsman, and for a child of a family like Liu Feng, he actually doesn't look down on Liu Yi.

"I will personally ask Uncle Huang for guilt." Liu Yi fumbled with the arrow in his hand, looked at Liu Feng and said, "The general still has a problem?" ”

The young general is too lazy to call, people respect each other, if you don't want to respect me, then everyone will do business, and they don't owe you.

"I hope the gentleman can bear the blame!" Liu Feng snorted coldly, intervened in Liu Yi, and brought his own guards to inspect the subordinates.

"Sir!" Wei Yan, who was standing behind Liu Yi, frowned and said, "Why be so accommodating to him, it's just a moth!" ”

Liu Bei accepted Liu Feng as a righteous son, also because he was more than half a hundred years old, and there was no son to inherit the foundation, looking at Liu Feng's civil and military skills, one came to cherish his talents, and the other also hoped to cultivate a successor for himself, so he accepted him as a righteous son, but immediately after Liu Chan was born, Liu Feng's position under Liu Bei became embarrassing, after all, the righteous son is no better than his biological son, with a biological son, who will hand over the foundation to a righteous son?

"This is Uncle Huang's family matter, if you want to do things under Uncle Huang, don't worry about this." Liu Yi glanced at Wei Yan and said, "As long as he is still Liu Feng, don't be disrespectful to him." ”

I'm afraid this is also a headache for Liu Bei now, if Liu Bei takes Liu Feng to the relationship with his son and lets him regain his surname Kou, it will be a great shame for Liu Feng and even the Kou family, which is equivalent to making a feud, and Liu Feng is a very good talent, Liu Bei is reluctant to throw it, so it has caused Liu Feng's embarrassing situation now.

"That's what the gentleman said." When Wei Yan was in Mocheng, he could still contain his heart, and even had the idea of staying in Mocheng, but now that he has come out with Liu Yi, the thought that was suppressed before has rekindled.

Liu Yi shook his head, he didn't want to pay attention to the of Liu Bei's family, as for Liu Feng, Liu Yi always maintained a respectful and distant attitude, that is, he didn't want to get involved in these things.

When approaching the second watch, Guan Ping strode in, saw Liu Yi, bowed and said, "Sir, just now I saw a fleet sailing towards the Cao Jun camp at a very fast speed. ”

"Oh?" When Liu Yi heard this, he stood up and walked out with Wei Yan: "Order the three armies to assemble and be ready to send troops at any time." ”

"Whoa!" Guan Ping agreed, turned around and ran out.

……

Cao Jun Water Village is not far from the mouth of the three rivers, at this moment Cao Cao has received a letter from Huang Gai, there will be a batch of grain and grass sent tonight, Cao Cao is standing in the big tent of the Chinese army at the moment, looking at the bright moon river, quite a sense of pride.

"Prime Minister, there is a fleet close to the water village, please open the water village!" Someone came to report.

"What's the flag?" Cao Cao asked.

"All of them are the Green Dragon Tooth Flag, and the Yellow Cover is the pioneer of the first ship on the ship!" The general bowed.

"It's the public to vote, order someone to open the water village, I should welcome it in person!" Cao Cao laughed loudly when he heard this, and he went to the water village to greet Huang Gai in person.

"Whoa!" The general agreed, and then went to order the water village to be opened and the boat to be put into the water village.

Cheng Yu followed Cao Cao's side, and looked outside the water village when he heard the words, because it was too far away, he couldn't see it clearly, but it happened to be an east wind today, and the yellow cover came to vote, which made Cheng Yu feel a little uneasy.

Although it is not too light, but after seeing that the water village was opened, the other party's boat was moving very fast, Cheng Yu's face changed suddenly, and he said sharply: "Prime Minister, there is fraud in coming to the boat, Hugh called into the village!" ”

Cao Cao frowned and asked, "How can you see it!" ”

Cheng Yu was in a hurry, and hurriedly explained: "The grain is in the ship, the ship must be stable, the prime minister and the ship seems to be light and floating, and the east wind is rising tonight, there must be fraud in a certain material, if it is put into the village, it will suddenly set fire, this fire borrows the power of the wind, how can our army resist!?" ”

Cao Cao also reacted when he heard this, secretly screamed carelessly, and hurriedly asked someone to close the water village, but now that the gate of the water village has been opened, and the other party's boat is amazingly fast, where is there time at this moment?

"Whoever stops!" After Cao Cao gave the order, he also reacted, with the current situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to prevent the other party from breaking into the water village, and he asked at the moment, he doesn't know much about water warfare, and those generals under his command didn't want to use it too much, but at this moment, they can't care so much.

Before the words fell, I saw a person under his command walking out quickly, it was Wenpin, the general of Jingzhou, but he saw Wenpin clasping his fists at Cao Cao and said: "Prime Minister, the last general is quite familiar with the water, please go!" ”

Cao Cao didn't care about any etiquette now, and shouted: "Go quickly, don't ask the other party to get close to our warship."

"Whoa!"

The diploma agreed, turned around and summoned more than 100 soldiers to step on a dozen ships and go forward to kill, and from a distance, he shouted sharply: "Prime Minister Junzhi, the south ship should not be close!" ”

Huang Gai saw Wen Ping on the boat, and sneered, at this time, how could he stop, he picked up the bow and arrow on the boat at the moment, and shot an arrow at Wen Ping.

Wen Ping listened to the trembling sound of the bowstring, knew that something was wrong, and subconsciously made a dodge action, his shoulder hurt, and the arrow that was originally shot straight to the head fell on his shoulder, Wen Ping screamed in pain, staggered, and sat on the boat with a butt, but shouted sharply in his mouth: "Kill, don't let the thief ship approach!" ”

Huang Gai brought a fleet of hundreds, connected by two, the front one is a clipper made by Liu Yi, which carries straw, fire oil and other fire-starting things, and the back one is an empty boat, at this moment seeing that he has entered the water village, Huang Gai ignored the clamor of those Cao Jun, and directly ordered that the soldiers set fire on the fast boat all the fire-starting things, and then jumped to the empty boat behind, and at the same time cut the rope, with the power of the sail, let the clipper rush to Cao Jun at the fastest speed.

Without the drag of the empty boats and the soldiers on board, the power of these clippers built by Liu Yi was revealed.

Wen Ping only saw those fireships that were burning rushing towards this side at a very fast speed, and hurriedly ordered people to stop them, but hundreds of fireships roared over, and the soldiers here didn't even have time to react, the fireships had already passed through more than a dozen boats, and went straight to Cao Jun's iron cables.

After Cao Cao sent Wen Ping to stop him, he was not idle, and immediately ordered people to disassemble the iron cables and planks that connected the warships.

It's just that in order to stabilize the warship, these iron cables and planks were reinforced, and now if you want to cut it, how can you cut it in a hurry.

Even before the soldiers of Cao Jun started construction, the hundred fireships had already roared to this side with the help of the wind, because there was no one to control them, and they didn't know where those fireships were going, Cao Cao stood on the high platform of the Chinese army's Dazhai, and watched Wen Ping with more than a dozen boats chasing those fireships in vain, but they were thrown farther and farther, and those fireships crashed into a large number of warships.

For a time, Cao Cao's eyes were full of smoke everywhere, many warships were ignited by fire ships, and the fire borrowed the wind and might, although Cao Jun's soldiers wanted to extinguish the fire, but where to extinguish, but because of the crowd, many soldiers were squeezed down, the whole water village was a mess for a while, Cao Cao was a little stunned, and he didn't know how to solve it for a while.

The wind helps the fire, the fire borrows the power of the wind, but Cao Cao was stunned for a while, the fire has spread, in the winter, from afar, Cao Cao can feel the heat wave coming to his face, Cheng Yu on the side pulled Cao Cao and said: "Prime Minister, the general trend has gone, let's go quickly." ”

Cao Cao clenched his fists, and looked unwillingly at the soldiers who were still trying their best to spread the fire just now and had begun to flee at this moment, countless Cao army soldiers were just a blink of an eye, and they were engulfed by the tongue of fire, screaming, screaming and rolling in pain, Huang Gai in the distance did not leave, and directly gathered people and horses, braved the flames, and went straight to the Chinese army.

"Let's go!" Cao Cao turned around and ordered: "Zhong Kang, you go and lead the guards to protect the ministers from the water village, and order Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Yu Ban and other troops to come to the rescue as soon as possible!" ”

Just like Cheng Yu said, the general trend has gone, the fire is together, he has no power to return to the sky, at this time to complain about the sky, not Cao Cao's character, when even if he made a decision, immediately ordered someone to protect the military strategists to retreat, now it is important to save his life, what he loses today, he will get it back in the future, and the most important thing now is to stop loss!

Zhang Liao had already brought someone over in a small boat to pick up Cao Cao ashore, and the big boat couldn't turn at all now, so he could only wait to be burned.

Cao Cao landed on the shore under the escort of a group of soldiers, listening to the sound of fighting from the rear, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, he stopped, and asked left and right: "Have you been rescued?" ”

"The prime minister is relieved, he has been rescued." Xu Chu came to Cao Cao's side with a disgraced face and bowed.

Cao Cao glanced at the growing fire in front of him, the cold light in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "Burn this place to stop the enemy!" ”

Someone in the crowd exclaimed: "Prime Minister, those naval soldiers ......"

Cao Cao turned his head and glanced at the man, he was a Jingzhou minister, he didn't speak, he turned around and left, in this water village, there were mostly Jingzhou soldiers, as for the people and horses brought by Cao Cao, they were already in the rear, and it was easier to evacuate.

When the man saw Cao Cao's gaze, his heart was cold, and he didn't dare to say anything more, but his face showed a look of pain, and he silently followed Cao Cao to continue to escape.

Behind Cao Cao, after Xu Chu made sure that Cao Cao and the others had retreated safely, he took the men and horses to carry torches, ignited the surrounding water villages, and stopped the chasing soldiers of Huang Gai in the rear, before he took his personal guards to chase Cao Cao's pace, and with Cao Cao's fire, the entire water village was completely plunged into a sea of fire......
