The moon and stars are scarce, and everything is silent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just as Xiahou Yuan and the others were drunk, there were suddenly bursts of shouting.

"Fire flies in the sky!".

"Fast shot, fast shot".

"Oh no, the fire fell from the sky."

The battalion resounded with all kinds of noisy sounds, and many generals commanded the archers to shoot.

A fire suddenly fell from the sky, and just smashed into the tent next to Xiahou Yuan's drinking, igniting a raging fire.

Cao Zhen was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly put out the fire." When the soldiers heard the noise, they all rushed over, some carrying water, and some of them were beating with clothes and weapons, and they were very busy.

This suddenly scared Xiahou Yuan, who was already a little drunk, woke up, he put aside Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang who were supporting, looked up at the sky, but saw a red lantern, like a sky lantern patrolling, and like a carp crossing the river, dotted with stars, very spectacular.

"What is this?" Xiahou Yuan had never seen such a thing, and his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but scream.

"It's a sky lantern! Oh no, the sky lantern is falling! A few more tents were on fire, and many of them screamed, their pronunciations twisted and accented by the voices of the black soldiers.

"Sky lantern?!" Xiahou Yuan was shocked, and immediately called his own soldiers to call those Wuhuan soldiers over.

Due to the large bag of fire oil when the Kong Ming lantern fell just now, and the distance from the water source, in just a few minutes, the tent was burned to the ground with only a black support.

Xiahou Yuan stood beside the tent with ashes in annoyance, his face was gloomy, he had never heard of this so-called sky lantern, he couldn't figure it out, what the hell was this?

After a while, three cavalrymen of the Wuhuan clan were brought over, and they were all the original subordinates of the Wuhuan after Cao Cao conquered the Wuhuan clan. One of them is the tun general Yi Pheasant Lang, who is the younger brother of Yi Pheasant of the Jingzhou Army, and the other two are Dubo.

"What's your name? But you said it was a sky lantern?! Xiahou Yuan was not angry and arrogant, and asked with a face like sinking water.

Yi Yanlang bowed down with a smile on his face, and just wanted to speak, when he "snapped", he was whipped on his body, and it hurt hotly.

"The thief is bald, why don't you kneel down quickly when you see the Metropolitan Governor, and look for death." Before he could react, his legs were kicked again, and Cao Chun hit hard.

Yi Pheasant Lang was caught off guard and knelt down, his heart was on fire, his face changed, and he was about to have a seizure, when suddenly the eldest brother Yi Pheasant came back through the absconding of his clan, so that he must endure it no matter what, and wait for the tomorrow of revenge.

A few years ago, after Cao Cao killed Bunton, because Bundun originally supported Yuan Shao, and many Wuhuan tribes did not accept Cao Cao's rule, they rose up to resist, which completely angered Cao Cao. Cao Cao went on a killing spree and slaughtered tens of thousands of people before he subdued Wuhuan.

Many Wuhuan cavalry were forced to join the tiger and leopard cavalry, Yi Pheasant Evil and Yi Pheasant Lang endured the great grief and hatred of the killing of their parents, brothers and sisters, the destruction of their families, and the death of the king of the country, and lurked with more than 1,000 compatriots, looking for an opportunity to take revenge.

The Wuhuan cavalry had a very low status in Cao's army, and Cao Chun's descendants beat and scolded them, and did not treat them as human beings at all, in Cao Chun's eyes, they were just machine slaves who fought in battle. The Wuhuan cavalry also thought about resisting, but Cao Chun divided and ruled them, closely monitored, and was afraid of the strong and obscene power of the Cao army, so he had to endure it silently.

Until Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu led two thousand cavalry, including five hundred Wuhuan cavalry including Yi Pheasant, to fight, and were defeated by Zhao Yun, Yi Pheasant took the opportunity to surrender to the Han army with five hundred Wuhuan cavalry, resulting in the annihilation of the Cao army.

"Dadudu, you are the great and invincible god of war, the little Yi Pheasant Lang, the current Tiger Cavalry Battalion Wuhuan Tun Dubo, please accept the villain's sincere tribute. It happened just now, and I didn't have time to bow down, so please don't worry about it. Yi Yanlang endured the pain, his face was full of smiles, and he kept greeting all the women of the generals of the Cao Army in his heart, and knelt down on the ground.

"A wolf, hehe, has a special name. Tell me, why do you call the sky fire just now a sky lantern? Because it was dark, Xiahou Yuan didn't notice the change in Yi Yanlang's expression.

"This is the legend of our grassland, whenever the killing is too heavy and the murderous aura is too strong, the immortal heaven will put down the sky lantern warning. But the villain didn't have a chance to see it. Yi Yanlang replied according to his brother's instructions.

"There is such a thing?!" Xiahou Yuan thought about it.

"Report to the Governor, we shot a sky lantern." A Dubo came over happily to announce the good news and presented a sky lantern.

Xiahou Yuan took the sky lantern, and the inside was just a frame made of bamboo strips and pasted with bamboo linen paper. He flipped the sky lantern and saw the appearance of the lamp, which was written in a crooked manner, "Cao thief will die, the Han family should prosper, abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, disarm and not kill" twelve big characters, just like the spell written by the Heavenly Master of the Five Doumi Sect.

"Zhuge Liang has the ability to be unpredictable, and he is really a god." Xiahou Yuan sighed sincerely, he saw that the shape of the sky lantern looked like Zhuge Liang's hat, and secretly thought that this thing must be Zhuge Liang's doing, but he couldn't figure out how this lamp could fly without wings.

"This is Zhuge Liang's trick, and it is strictly forbidden to shoot sky lanterns. The sky lanterns that fall are destroyed immediately, and no rumors are allowed. Seeing that the sky lantern shot was burning on the ground, Xiahou Yuan angrily waved off the three of Yi Pheasant, ordered to stop shooting, and conveyed it layer by layer.

However, the five Cao army camps were burned down dozens of camp tents, although Xiahou Yuan gave a death order, but the more forbidden the more chaotic, the rumors have long been gone, what Zhuge Liang is the god of heaven descended to earth, the sky lantern is a warning from heaven, etc., the propaganda slogan of the Han army has spread throughout the army.

Cao Jun was tossed in the first half of the night, and the second half of the night, as expected, was spent in the endless and endless sneak attacks and harassment of the Han army.

Although Xiahou Yuan was furious, he was once bitten by a snake, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, so he no longer dared to send troops to attack, so he could only arrange archers to shoot back the Han army from afar.

It was another extremely torturous night of tossing, coupled with the sky lantern effect, Cao Jun's soldiers yawned repeatedly, their spirits were sluggish, they were full of complaints, they were lifeless, and their morale was extremely low.

Xiahou Yuan is not happy, and Cao Ren, who is 300 kilometers away in Xiangyang, is not much better, and the two sides are comparing.

Here's the thing, as early as three days ago, Liao Hua, Wang Lian, and Zhao Rong arrived at Xiangyang City with 1,500 cavalry under the banner of Guan, Zhang, and Zhao.

Before leaving, Liu Chan arranged for the disguise masters to disguise Liao Hua, Wang Lian, and Zhao Rong respectively, and they were disguised as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun.

Along the way, the three generals sent scouts to scout around, and the Black Eagle Guard infiltrated Xiangfan, spreading rumors, creating rumors that the Jingzhou army surrounded Wei to rescue Zhao and bypassed the Xiahou Yuan army to attack Xiangfan.

After the three generals arrived in Xiangyang, they quickly cleared the county soldiers and county soldiers on the periphery of Xiangyang, ransacked the national capital, county government, and county government, and made a big noise.

At the south gate of Xiangyang, the Dalian camp, which can accommodate 20,000 people, was planted all over the place, the flags were widely displayed, the horsetail mopped the ground, the smoke and dust covered the sun, and the momentum was huge. Frightened, General Henghai and Xiangyang Taishou Lu Chang were so frightened that they didn't dare to fight, so they retreated in the city and sent someone to urgently report Cao Ren's reinforcements.

The military governor of the four counties of Nanyang, Nanxiang, Jiangxia, and Xiangyang, the Marquis of Anping Tinghou stationed in Fancheng, and Cao Ren, the general of the expedition to the south, were anxiously walking back and forth in the mansion, he was disturbed by the military reports of Lu Chang and Dangyang, and the military reports to Xuchang were also unsuccessful, and he did not know what to do, and hesitated.

Changshi Chen Jiaojin said: "The general was deeply trusted by the Cheng and supervised the military of the four counties of Nanyang, Nanxiang, Jiangxia and Xiangyang, becoming the barrier of the southern part of the country, and was relied on by the prime minister as a dry city. Although the three generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun have the courage of ten thousand people, our army is full of food and food, and the city is strong, so there is nothing to fear. What's more, the general is also one of the eight tiger generals of Cao Xiahou's clan, when the general fought against Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, in Jiangling, two in and two out, like entering no one's land, I sighed as a celestial. If the general does not hold out and does not save him when he sees death, he will chill the hearts of all the soldiers and lead to the loss of the important town of Xiangyang, and the four counties will be in danger. At that time, the prime minister will blame him, and the general can't afford it. I expect that the Jingzhou army will be a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, if it can be defeated, it will make its army unable to care for each other, and the governor of Xiahou will be able to win a complete victory, and the general will be rewarded by the prime minister. ”

Chen Jiao, the word Ji Bi, his original surname is Liu, and he changed his surname to Chen because of his succession and mother's family. In the early years, he avoided the chaos in Jiangdong, and later Guangling guarded Chen Deng, please be a meritorious Cao. Cao Cao became a subordinate of Prime Minister Peng, moved to the county commander, and was transferred to the post of Zhengnan Changshi. Chen Jiao's original surname was Liu, and he later passed on to his uncle and married a member of his own clan surnamed Liu. Prime Minister Dong, Cao Peng, and Xu Xuan discussed Chen Jiao's negligence in public many times. Chen Jiao was deeply cherished by Cao Cao because of his talent and good at pleasing his boss, so Cao Cao came forward to protect him.

Cao Ren's courage was stimulated by Chen Jiao, and he asked eagerly: "What is Ji Bi's clever plan, you can break the enemy army and come quickly." ”

When Chen Jiao heard this, he lowered his head for deep thought, and after a while, he pretended to be profound: "The enemy army is coming from afar, and it must be sleepy and lacking in guard, and the general can take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to attack the enemy camp at night, and he can win a big victory." If the enemy army recovers its strength, coupled with the courage of Guan, Zhang, and Zhao, it will be difficult to take it. ”

Cao Ren pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said with great joy: "What a wonderful plan!" The order went down, the third watch cooked, the fourth watch set off, and the fifth watch kicked the camp. ”
