373. The fire burned down Dingjun Mountain
When Cao Ren's army arrived, Xiahoudun had already fought almost the men and horses in his hands. Cao Ren didn't blame Xiahoudun, he knew that Xiahoudun had held back long enough, and he had to release it.
In the big tent, Xiahoudun saluted Cao Ren and said: "Dashuai will give me another 10,000 horses tomorrow, and I will kill Dingjun Mountain." ”
Cao Ren didn't answer him immediately, but looked at Guo Jia on the side. He hopes that Guo Jia can give a more perfect plan.
Guo Jia really lived up to his expectations, only to see him smile slightly and say, "General Xiahou, do you have to destroy Liu Beijun's camp on Dingjun Mountain?" ”
When Xiahoudun heard that his eyes bloomed with a strange light, he turned his head to stare at Guo Jia and said, "Is there a way for the military advisor to destroy Liu Beijun's camp on Dingjun Mountain?" ”
Guo Jia nodded and shook his head again, and said, "I don't have a good way to simply destroy Liu Beijun's camp." ”
Xiahou was stunned for a moment and said, "What does the military advisor mean?" ”
"Let me take a look at Nadingjun Mountain again tomorrow morning, and then I'll give you an answer, what do you think? General Xiahou. Guo Jia still said with a smile on his face. Xiahoudun had no other way, he sat down to the side with his head bored and stopped talking.
There was nothing to say all night, and after a while, Xiahoudun was waiting outside Guo Jia's tent early, and when he heard Guo Jia get out of bed, he pulled the curtain and entered the tent. Guo Jia's personal guards didn't dare to stop him, and they also knew that this Xiahou general would not be unfavorable to the military advisor, but they still followed him into the tent. "Strategist, General Xiahou has to see you!" The guards entered the tent and spoke.
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "I know, you fetch me some water, I want to wash." The guards turned to leave, and Guo Jia said to Xiahoudun: "General Xiahou, you are too anxious, I told you that I will definitely give you an answer today." ”
Xiahoudun sighed and said, "Strategist, I can't wait to eat that Zhao Yun's flesh, but I beg Strategist to let me go with you to check it out?" ”
Guo Jia saw that he had said this, so he had to nod and said, "Okay, let's go and see it later!" As he was talking, the guards brought the basin, and Guo Jia did not shy away from Xiahoudun and washed up in front of him. There was not much time to wash up, and at this time the guards brought over breakfast, and the breakfast was prepared very well, and Xiahoudun's was also included.
Xiahoudun was already impatient, but he still endured to finish the meal in front of him in two bites, and when he looked up at Guo Jia, he found that Guo Jia had almost eaten. didn't let him wait long, and after breakfast, Guo Jia immediately took his personal guards and Xiahoudun out of the camp together.
They walked not far and a big mountain blocked the way in front of them, and they saw that this mountain was about a thousand feet high, and stretched for a hundred miles on the north and south sides, like a barrier across the road to the west. If you can't take Dingjun Mountain, it will be like a joke to move westward. Guo Jia took a few turns at the bottom of the mountain, he carefully looked at the trend of the mountain range, and then thought that Xiahoudun confirmed the location of Liu Bei's camp on the mountain and the water source on the mountain.
For a whole hour, Guo Jia turned around and led people to the camp. Xiahoudun was a little anxious and said, "Is there a way for the military advisor?" ”
Guo Jia said: "There is a way, but this method is harmful to the heavens and peace, and I have to discuss it with the marshal." General Xiahou is not impatient. "Ignore him.
When he returned to the big tent, Cao Ren had already been waiting in the tent, and when he saw them coming back, he said, "How is the military advisor?" ”
Guo Jia replied with a smile: "I have a way to break Liu Bei's camp on the mountain, but this method hurts the heavens and peace, and it still needs to be decided by the commander." ”
"Oh, and that matter? Tell me about it, Strategist. Cao Ren said with a straight face. Guo Jia nodded, and then said with a serious face: "If you want to completely destroy Liu Beijun's camp on the mountain, then the only way is to destroy this mountain together." So my plan is to set fire to the mountain! ”
"Set fire to the mountain?!" Cao Ren and Xiahoudun were shocked when they heard this. If this fire is really put up, then I don't know when it will burn, and I don't know if the Dingjun Mountain in front of me will not be able to escape even if it is a nearby mountain. Not to mention Liu Beijun on Dingjun Mountain, even the villages and animals in the mountains don't want to run out. Hell, I don't know how many people will die when this fire burns, and this is really hurtful.
However, I have to say that if this plan really comes to fruition, then this Dingjun Mountain General will not be an obstacle to the army. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Cao Ren's mind, and Guo Jia, who proposed this plan, had already sat silently aside and stopped speaking.
Xiahoudun was the main battle faction, and he said urgently: "What else is the marshal hesitating about?" Isn't it just setting fire to the mountain? Let me go! I'm the only one to bear the consequences! ”
"Xiahou, you ......" Cao Ren's words came to his mouth but he swallowed them back, he glared at Guo Jia with some annoyance, but found that Guo Jia didn't look at him at all, but just lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"Dashuai, don't hesitate!" Xiahoudun urged again.
Cao Ren was irritated by his urging, and he snapped the case a few times: "That's it, since the military advisor has this clever plan, I agree." ”
Guo Jia, who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the side, opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes flashed. He said in his heart: "Okay, you Cao Zixiao, don't forget to drag me into the water in the end." Whoever let me make the plan come out of me, if there is really retribution coming at me. Thinking of this, Guo Jia said: "Okay, since the marshal agrees to this plan, then prepare more fire-inducing things such as fire oil and hay, I observe that the sky will be sunny in the next few days, and it is just right to set fire." ”
Cao Ren nodded and said, "One day, it will take at least one day to prepare these items." General Xiahou doesn't bother the two masters, and the matter of preparing materials is also handed over to you! ”
Xiahoudun nodded and said, "Please be careful, I will definitely be able to prepare things tomorrow." ”
Guo Jia looked at him and said, "If everything is ready during the day tomorrow, then set fire to it at night." Without further ado, the sooner you act, the better! After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Ren and Xiahou nodded in both directions. Then Xiahoudun went down to prepare the materials for the fire.
Cao Ren opened his mouth and asked Guo Jiadao at this time: "Fengxiao, you said how long will this fire burn if it burns?" It's not going to burn forever, is it? ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "No, as soon as the fire burns, there will be rain here, as long as we send people to watch the mountains on both sides and only control the fire on Dingjun Mountain." ”
Cao Ren listened and nodded. Now I'm waiting for Xiahoudun to find all the things that started the fire. Just when Cao Jun's side was in full swing, Han Fei took Zhang Fei to the Dingjun Mountain camp. For Cao Jun not coming to attack the camp today, Zhao Yun and Fa Zheng were very puzzled. Han Feisi thought for a while and said, "Do you know that the military advisor on the other side is Ah Hui?" ”
"Military advisor, our scout came to report that the military advisor on the other side is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao." Fa Zheng replied.
"Guo Jia? Looks like they're going to use a trick! When Han Fei heard it, Guo Jia immediately muttered to himself.
