Chapter 19: The Burning of Zhang Fei

Gongsun Kang and they set off from Jiangxia County. There was a quick report to Liu Bei.

In Liu Bei's military tent, Zhuge Liang gently pointed to the map hanging on the wall with a feather fan. Make a plan with confidence.

"There's a hill here, and in the middle of the hill, there's a valley that's more than 1,000 meters long." Zhuge Liang said: "We can send 10,000 men to ambush on both sides of the valley and prepare dry firewood, sulfur, and saltpeter. Vegetable oil and other things that cause fire. ”

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu all listened attentively to Zhuge Liang's explanation. Zhuge Liang is good at setting fires, which is taking advantage of the natural momentum, which can fight big with small and win more with less.

"When the Liaodong army arrives, let go of the front army, about 10,000 people. When the Chinese army entered the valley, they threw down dry wood, sulfur, and saltpeter. Vegetable oil and other things that cause fire. Ignited with a rocket. The Liaodong army will be in chaos. Zhuge Liang said: "Outside the valley, we also ambushed 20,000 people, waiting for the fire in the valley. He killed it and surrounded and annihilated the 10,000 former troops of the Liaodong army. ”

Zhang Fei listened with relish, but Guan Yu preemptively said: "I am willing to take people to the valley to ambush."

"The arrow wound on the general's shoulder is not yet neat, and it is inconvenient to climb high and low." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

Zhang Fei reacted at this time and grinned: "That's a certain family went to the valley to ambush."

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Fei's old white face, nodded and said, "The general must be cautious and don't let the Liaodong military horses find flaws." ”

"No" Zhang Fei said very simply: "Obey the orders of the military advisor."

The ambush actually depends on luck. If the enemy army sent out a detailed search of the entire hill before advancing, would it still be possible to find an enemy ambush?

Unless the enemy is careless, a simple search will pass quickly.

When Zhang Fei and Guan Yu led people to ambush, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "We have to prepare for the worst, if Gongsun Kang is not fooled." Stopping outside the valley, we have to quickly pull away the people and horses and go directly to Shudi. You can't fold this bit of money into it anymore. ”

Liu Bei thought that what he said made sense, and ordered the people left behind in the camp to quickly pack the weight of the nest and prepare to set off at any time.

Let's say, Gongsun Kang and his entourage went all the way. Gongsun Kang stayed in the front army.

He knew that Zhuge Liang was good at setting fires, and his first show was to burn Bowangpo, and the second show was to burn Xinye.

Therefore, for the commander of the former army, before setting out, he admonished: When encountering valleys, hillsides, woods, etc., immediately stop the army, report up, and wait for orders.

There have been several stops along the way, and the former military lieutenant already knows how to do it.

This time, when they came to the hill where Zhang Fei was ambushed, the front army still stopped, and if there were scouts, they went to report to Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang came to the front of the mountain and saw that the mountain was not too high, but the forest was unusually lush.

He let out his senses, condescending observations.

Under the divine consciousness, everything is revealed, and it can be clearly seen: Zhang Fei led his men and horses, lying in ambush on the hill, staring at the valley path, waiting for the Liaodong army to pass.

Retracting his senses, Gongsun Kang laughed.

Sure enough, it is still good to be cautious, and I almost capsized in the gutter.

He asked the soldiers of the former army to sprinkle fire oil in the woods in front of the hill.

Then all the soldiers of Liaodong stepped back and just released rockets.

The fire ignited at once, but it was not enough, it was only the woods under the hill that caught fire.

Gongsun Kang has also practiced the ability to call the wind and rain in recent years, to say that on the Yangtze River, calling the southeast wind in a large area, his mana is not enough; But in front of the hill, summoning a southeast wind is more than enough.

I saw that the original northwest wind slowly changed direction, turned into a southeast wind, and blew in the direction of the west wind.

The light wind slowly turned into a strong wind, a strong wind, flying sand and rocks.

The fire with the oil roared, and it was ten zhang high. Tongues of fire quickly skewered to the top of the mountain.

Zhang Fei led people to climb on the top of the mountain, listened to the roar of the war horse from a distance, and knew that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry had arrived. Everyone held their breath and waited for them to pass through the valley.

Suddenly, a fire broke out at the foot of the mountain, and then the fire quickly rushed to the top of the mountain, burning right next to Zhang Fei and them.

Damn, the Jingzhou soldiers are not Huang Jiguang, and they have no discipline. One by one, they jumped up and ran down the hill.

But the fire ran faster than them. Soon 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers were surrounded by fire, and there were burning trees everywhere, and these soldiers were still surrounded by dry firewood, sulfur, and saltpeter. Vegetable oil and other things that cause fire. With a bang, the fire became more fierce and intense.

This time, harming others will not harm yourself, and scaring others will not become being scolded!

After all, Zhang Fei was strong in martial arts, and he stumbled down the mountain by dialing the burning tree along the way, but a large piece of his beard and hair were also burned. The old white face has become a big black face, which is in line with the traditional image of Zhang Fei.

Ordinary Jingzhou soldiers did not have his profound martial arts, one by one in the fire, they fell to the ground due to lack of oxygen, and after a few minutes, they suffocated to death and were burned to char by the fire!

The soldiers of Liaodong have no compassion, if it weren't for the main champion Hou Ming, who is now on the ground and burned to charcoal, it would be them.

Therefore, the soldiers of Liaodong listened to the sound of crying for help from the mountains one by one, but they all stood solemnly, their hearts were like iron stones, and no one went to the rescue.

Guan Yu was waiting at the bottom of the mountain, under the mountain on the other side. I didn't see a single Liaodong soldier, but I saw a fire on the mountain.

I can't help but complain that the third brother is unreliable, why didn't a Liaodong soldier let go, so he could ignite the fire. That's not how you eat alone.

Just thinking like this, he saw a big man running over with a black body, shouting as he ran: "Second brother! Something happened! Gongsun Kang has seen through our plan! ”

Hearing the voice, it was the voice of the third brother Zhang Fei. Guan Yu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Third brother, why do you look like this?" ”

Zhang Fei cried: "That Gongsun Kang did not enter the valley, but set a fire outside the mountain. Somehow, the northwest wind turned into a southeast wind. Our 10,000 brothers in ambush are surrounded by fire! I was the only one who escaped. Woooooooooooo ”

When Guan Yu heard that the situation had changed, he didn't dare to ambush again, and hurriedly took Zhang Fei and 20,000 horses and horses and withdrew to the camp.

In Liu Bei's military tent, Zhuge Liang listened carefully to Zhang Fei's description.

I couldn't help but sigh: "I don't need to scout, but I can see everything, call for wind and rain, and turn the northwest wind into the southeast wind." It seems that there are masters in Gongsun Kang's camp. Unbeatable, unbeatable! ”

Zhang Fei roared irritably: "The military advisor will only say that you can't be defeated, what's the use of you?" ”

Indeed, in this world, after Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he only did it twice with the Liaodong army, and both times he was defeated, and he did not erect an invincible image at all.

Liu Bei hurriedly coughed, interrupted Zhang Fei's roar, and asked, "Strategist, what should we do now?" ”

Zhuge Liang was not angry, he shook the feather fan and said, "There is only one Gongsun Kang in the world. I can't afford to provoke or hide. Cao Cao hid in Chang'an; Let's go to Shudi. Yizhou is dangerous, fertile for thousands of miles, the country of abundance, and Gaozu became an emperor because of it. Let's go there now and lay down a piece of Longxing's territory! ”

Liu Bei followed Zhuge Liang's advice.

With 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers, he ran straight to Yizhou. The soldiers who kidnapped Liu Biao did not say hello and said goodbye.

Liu Biao was still stupidly sitting in Xiangyang City, and he didn't know that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was about to come to the city.
