Chapter 212: Set a fire

Last time, it was said that after Lu Zhi saw Dongfang Xiong's body, he was worried about his future and fell into a dilemma.

Just when Lu Zhi hesitated, the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao had already reached the Han army camp.

He Meng led his subordinates to see the black and oppressive Yellow Turban Army outside the camp, and their faces turned green. He secretly said in his heart: How did the Yellow Turban Army come here? What about Lu Zhi? Lu Zhi took 12,000 elites to rescue Dongfang Xiong's bastard, is it possible that even Lu Zhi is finished? How long will it be until I'm back to camp after cleaning up the battlefield? It seems like it's only been an hour, right? When did the Yellow Turbans become so powerful? Gnaw Lu Zhi's troops to the point that there are no bones left? Not even a single messenger came back.

He Meng's mind was filled with a lot of questions, but no one could give him answers. He Meng was not entangled, and hurriedly organized manpower to arm.

Zhang Jiao "saw" in the carriage that the Han army's camp was already prepared, so he ordered the army not to approach.

The Yellow Turbans stopped outside the range of the Han army's crossbows and crossbows, and instead of attacking, they began to pile up firewood.

He Meng watched from a distance, didn't know why, and thought: Is the Yellow Turban Thief going to attack with fire? Can you burn a hair so far? Or are you going to smoke us? The wind is right today, but the wind is not strong, and the smoke will not drift so far at all.

The Yellow Turbans finished piling up the firewood and did start to light the fire.

The fire soon burst into flames.

Indeed, no matter how fierce it was expected, this fire could not burn the Han army at all, and the smoke caused by the fire also rushed straight into the sky.

Although he was not threatened by the fire, He Meng did not dare to be careless, he had long heard that Zhang Jiao knew how to spell, and the ghost knew if Zhang Jiao's magic stick was casting spells behind the fire now. Because of the fire and smoke in the middle, He Meng couldn't see what the Yellow Turban Army on the side of the fire was doing, so he could only let the troops continue to be on guard.

After waiting nervously for a long time, the fire was still burning, but He Meng just didn't see the Yellow Turban Army rushing over, and the fire still blocked his vision.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move. He Meng didn't have the courage to test the reality of the Yellow Turban Army behind the fire, his troops were less than half of the Yellow Turban Army opposite, and the most fatal thing was that he found out when the Yellow Turban Army was piling up firewood that the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side was not the Yellow Turban Army he had defeated before, but the Yellow Turban Army was holding standard weapons. He more or less figured out why Lu Zhi was gnawed to the point that there were no bones left.

He Meng chose to continue to put the troops on alert, hoping that with the protective measures of the battalion, he could withstand the next attack of the Yellow Turban Army.

It's just that what He Meng didn't know was that the Yellow Turban Army had already retreated under the cover of the fire. They came all the way to set a fire.

The Yellow Turbans retreated to a place where the Han army could not see, and began to circle northward again, avoiding Lu Zhi's troops who were rushing back.

Lu Zhi originally wanted to directly attack the Yellow Turban Army camp, hoping to capture the Yellow Turban Army camp regardless of casualties, in exchange for his bargaining weight with the imperial court. His idea may not come to fruition, but it's better than sitting still.

But no sooner had they set off than they noticed billowing smoke billowing from the direction of their camp.

Lu Zhi was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the front team of the army to change to the rear team, and hurried back to the camp.

The Han army's camp was on fire, which meant that Zhang Jiao brought the main force over to attack the Han army, and the Yellow Turban Army's camp defense must be empty. But Lu Zhi didn't dare to gamble with He Meng's life at all, betting on who could capture the opponent's camp faster between himself and Zhang Jiao. Now that Dongfang Xiong is dead, if even He Meng dies at the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, it is estimated that he will be the next to die. Just offending the emperor or a general, you will only lose your official position or be demoted, but if you offend both sides, you will not be far from death, and you are most afraid that it will affect your family.

But when Lu Zhi rushed back to the camp desperately, he found that the camp had not been attacked at all, only a long column of firewood in front of the camp gate that had not been burned.

Lu Zhi was depressed in his heart: Is He Meng holding a campfire party? But there was no one at the scene.

Lu Zhi arranged for the generals to bring the soldiers back to the camp, and he would go to the Shuai tent alone, and ordered He Meng to come over to see him.

When He Meng came, Lu Zhi asked with a split face: "General He, what's going on with the fire outside the camp?" Can you explain? ”

He Meng didn't expect Lu Zhi to dare to be angry with himself, and said with a cold face: "Didn't Lu Shuai see it himself?" I also want to ask Lu Shuai what is going on, how did the Yellow Turban Army come to the camp to set fire, didn't Lu Shuai meet them on the road? ”

Lu Zhi was blinded by fire just now, and his mind was not clear, so he sprinkled all the anger he received tonight on He Meng. Now after listening to what He Meng said, I feel that something is wrong, so I try to calm down.

After Lu Zhi calmed down, he calmly asked He Meng: "General He, the tone of what this marshal said just now was a little heavier, forgive me." In addition, the Eastern General has already died. ”

Dongfang Xiong is dead? No wonder Lu Zhi was angry. Hehe, good death! When He Meng heard Lu Zhi say that Dongfang Xiong was dead, he was happy in his heart, and he didn't plan to investigate Lu Zhi's rudeness to him.

Seeing He Meng's expression softened, Lu Zhi asked, "General He, can you tell this commander in detail what the fire outside the camp is about?" ”

He Meng glanced at Lu Zhi and smiled in his heart: Haha! Ben Shuai? How many more days will you be able to sit in the throne?

He Meng was very unhappy with the provocative behavior of the Yellow Turban Army running to the front of the camp and setting fire to it. Lu Zhi took everyone away, not only did he return in vain, but he also let the Yellow Turban Army come to the camp to play with him, which made He Meng despise Lu Zhi's ability.

He Mengxin said: If it weren't for Lu Zhi, an incompetent guy, who took everyone away, I would definitely lead the troops out of the camp and beat those Yellow Turban soldiers who dared to provoke me to the point of urine, crying father and mother, and I wouldn't have to shrink in the camp and be scared for so long.

He Meng replied nonchalantly: "He Shuai, the fire in front of the camp was set by the Yellow Turban Army. There were too many of them, and in order to ensure that the camp was not lost, they did not rush to attack. Unexpectedly, the Yellow Turban Army was afraid of the military might of our army, so they let off a fire and slipped away. ”

Lu Zhi listened to He Meng's words and felt very harsh, but it was not easy to attack. He Meng's words also made Lu Zhi understand the truth of the matter, that is, he was completely tricked by the Yellow Turban Army tonight, and the Yellow Turban Army's fire was transferred back to him. It seems that the camp of the Yellow Turban Army is really empty tonight. What a missed opportunity!

Is the camp of the Yellow Turbans really empty?

Zhang Jiao also returned to the camp with his troops at this time, and Feng Yu led the generals to greet Zhang Jiao at the camp gate.

Yesterday I was not in good spirits, so I wrote it very messily. Today, the two chapters of yesterday have been modified, but the name of the chapter cannot be changed, and there is a little difference from the content.
