Xu Yu offered a plan and said, "Yuan Shao's army has a heavy amount of food, all of which are hoarded in the black nest, and Chun Yuqiong is guarded by Chun Yuqiong, and Chun Yuqiong is a person who is addicted to alcohol and has a lax guard. His Majesty can choose elite soldiers and falsely claim that Yuan will lead Jiang Qi to Wuchao to protect grain, and burn his grain and grass in the intermittent time, then Yuan's army will be in chaos within three days. ”

Liu Xie was overjoyed, gave preferential treatment to Xu You, and stayed in the army. On the second day, Liu Xie selected 5,000 elite horsemen and prepared to go to Wuchao to burn grain in person.

Zhao Yun saw it and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao's 700,000 army is coming, how can you not take strict precautions against the land where you are hoarding grain?" Wechen is afraid that there will be fraud, and Your Majesty can't go easily! ”

With the help of a small dictionary, Liu Xie already knew the result, so he said: "Zilong is too worried, Xu Yu came to surrender to me, this is a natural defeat for Yuan Shao." Now that he has been in a stalemate with Yuan Shao for a long time, Yuan Shao always drives the people to fight, and if he dies one more day, many more people will die, and the people are the foundation of my Han Dynasty. Xu Yu voted for me, there will be no fraud, or can he stay in the camp with peace of mind and not leave? Besides, I've long wanted to rob the grain. ”

Zhao Yun said again: "Then we also want to prevent Yuan Shao from taking advantage of the situation to rob the camp, right?" ”

Liu Xie thought for a moment and said: "I have already planned, Zilong, you and Wenlu are guarding the camp, pay attention, empty camp, ambush on both sides." ”

Zhao Yun said: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xie called Ma Chao to the right, took the deputy generals Pang De and Ma Dai, and went with him to Wuchao to rob grain and grass.

Everything was well planned, under the banner of Yuan's army, and at dusk, all the sergeants took hay and fire oil and marched to Wuchao.

But it was said that Liu Xie personally led the troops, marched to the night, the sky was full of stars, after Yuan Shao's waiting, a Yuan soldier asked who it was, Liu Xie asked the soldier to answer, saying that Jiang Qi was ordered to go to Wuchao to protect the grain and grass, Yuan Jun saw that it was his own banner, and he did not doubt, so he let it go, and went all the way, passing through many Yuan Jun checkpoints, all passed smoothly and without hindrance.

Along the way, Liu Xie whispered to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, you see, this is Yuan Shaojun, so lax, even if there are 700,000 troops, even if there are 7 million troops, they will lose cleanly."

Ma Chao nodded yes.

At the fourth watch, when he came to the place where Wuchao was hoarding grain, Liu Xie's rocket was shot in, rushing while shooting, and the hay was splashed with fire oil and thrown everywhere.

The black nest suddenly burst into flames, and the shouts rang out.

At that time, the guard general Chun Yu Qionggang drank wine with the generals, and was drunk in the tent, and when he heard the noise, he woke up at that time, jumped up and shouted: "What's the noise? ”

Liu Xie knew where Chun Yuqiong's camp was, and went straight to him, and when Chun Yuqiong just woke up, he was dragged over by the Han army.

Yuan Shao's general Wei Yuanjin, Zhao Rui had just returned from transporting grain from the rear, and the military grain field was on fire, so he hurriedly came to the rescue.

Some soldiers of the Han army came to report that a large number of Yuan troops had come to the rescue and needed to fight separately.

Liu Xie raised his hand and leaned on the heavenly sword and shouted: "Don't worry about the behind, just move forward bravely and burn all the grain and grass!" ”

So the soldiers rushed to be the first, set fires everywhere, and burned the entire grain hoarding site of Wuchao, the fire soared into the sky, the smoke was filled, and it could be seen for more than ten miles.

When Wei Yuan entered Zhao Rong, Liu Xie ordered him to turn around and cover up the killing.

In the melee, Pang De beheaded Yuanjin, Ma Dai beheaded Zhao Rong, Ma Chao beheaded Yuanjin, Han Juzi, etc.

The main general Chun Yuqiong was captured alive and escorted to Liu Xie, and when he saw the emperor, he did not kneel, but held his head high.

Liu Xie asked: "General Chunyu, just like you, you can take on such an important position, Yuan Shao is blind." “

Chun Yuqiong said arrogantly: "Victory and defeat are commonplace, what is there to say." ”

Liu Xiexin said: A special straw bale, and you are so arrogant, I have also obeyed you.

Then he ordered the soldiers to release him, saying, "Run, run as fast as you can." Go back and report to Yuan Shao. ”

Chun Yuqiong looked at Liu Xie in confusion, not knowing what he meant, Liu Xie tilted his head and said, "Let's go." ”

Chun Yuqiong began to walk forward, Liu Xie looked at his back, sneered and took a bow from the soldier's hand, pulled the string and aimed the arrow at Chun Yuqiong's back.

Chun Yuqiong took two steps, felt that something was wrong, looked back, and saw Liu Xie holding a bow and arrow at him, and hurriedly shook his hands and shouted: "Your Majesty, don't kill me!" ”

Liu Xie smiled: "Wait until I count to ten before shooting, you run quickly!" One ......"

Chun Yuqiong ran away, Liu Xie began to count, and when he counted to three, he saw that Chun Yuqiong was about to run out of range.

"Two, three, ten!" After Liu Xie counted three, he directly said "ten" and shot an arrow.

With a whoosh, it hit the back of Yu Qiong's heart, afraid that he would not be killed, Liu Xieyou took out an arrow, shook the reins and came forward.

Chun Yuqiong really didn't die, turned over and pointed at Liu Xie and said, "You don't believe what you say!" ”

Liu Xie had already mounted the arrow and said: "Do you know what kind of crime it is to drink alcohol in battle in my Han army?" It's a capital offense! Now you are derelict in your duties, drinking and mistaking in important positions, I will replace Yuan Shao to punish you. ”

After that, he shot another arrow at Chun Yuqiong's chest, shot him, and then said to the two captured Yuan soldiers: "Go back and report to Yuan Shao what you have seen, but you can't leave now, and you can only leave after we leave." ”

In the original history, Chun Yuqiong and more than 3,000 soldiers were cut off by Cao Cao and put back their ears, nose and fingers.

Liu Xie was not so cruel.

Liu Xie looked at the fire and said, "Everyone hurry up and change the banner of Yuan Jun's clothes and armor!" ”

Liu Xie saw that Ma Chao was relatively strong, so he said: "Meng Qi, you change into Chun Yuqiong's clothes, we will have to go back the same way later, if you don't pretend, there is no way to go back." ”

Ma Chaonuo said goodbye and began to change clothes.

After all the changes were made, Ma Chao disguised himself as Chun Yuqiong, Liu Xie followed, and the Han army returned overnight, and when they came to a remote mountain road, they happened to meet Jiang Qi's military horses.

This time it was really Jiang Qi, and Jiang Qi asked: "Who is in front, report your name!" ”

Ma Chao said: "I am Chun Yuqiong, the black nest was robbed, our army was defeated, and I was about to go back to report to the lord to come to support." ”

I couldn't see it clearly in the night, so Jiang Qi believed it and said, "Then I'll go over and investigate first." ”

Then he rode his horse.

When the two armies passed by, Jiang Qi felt that Ma Chao did not look like Chun Yuqiong, and was about to ask, Ma Chao had already raised his iron gun and shouted: "Jiang Qina is here!" ”

One move to kill.

Jiang Qi was caught off guard and was picked off the horse by Ma Chao with a shot, and all the troops he led were wiped out.

Liu Xie ordered a few soldiers to pretend to be Yuan soldiers and go back to report that Jiang Qi had returned to Wuchao to kill and disperse the Han army.

After Yuan Shao heard this, he did not doubt it, and continued to increase his troops to confront the Han army.

Liu Xie's horse was over 5,000 fine horses, so he easily burned the grain and grass of Wuchao, and also beheaded Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Qi, and returned to the camp without damage.

Returned to the imperial camp, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao came out to greet him, there were already a lot of people at the moment, Da Qiao patted his chest and said: "Your Majesty's brother has finally returned safely, and I can rest assured." ”
