That night, Liu Zhang also rested early, although he didn't do anything today, he also felt extremely tired. Cao Cao attacked Lü Bu in historical records, but it took three months, and finally it was the betrayal of the middle-level generals in the city that broke through Xiapi. This is enough to show that even he Cao Cao can't easily take off Xiapi, not to mention that now Liu Zhang has wasted several of Cao Cao's fighters......

At the gate of Xiapi City, more than 1,000 cavalry had gathered at this moment, and although the lights of the Cao army camp outside the city were flickering, the personnel on duty really felt a little sleepy. Even Liu Zhang's military camp is similar, for so long everyone thinks that Lu Bu is already about to be defeated, and there will be desperate resistance?

The soldiers on duty in Cao's army were dozing, and Liu Zhang's soldiers were also drowsy. The night was a little dark, and the gates slowly opened in the early hours of the morning. Not only do modern people know that they are most sleepy in the early hours of the morning, but the ancients also knew this. Lu Bu and the others all had solemn faces, if they failed this time, they were afraid that they would really be defeated.

The city gate quietly opened, and Lu Bu and the others suppressed the thoughts in their hearts and galloped. It was only a kilometer away, at the speed of the horses, and it took only a few minutes to reach the front of the barracks. At this time, the soldiers in Cao's camp realized that it was too late to ring the bell and gong frantically. Lu Bu didn't want to fight at all, he just wanted to destroy Cao Ying's food and ordnance.

Even if the bell and gong rang, the soldiers of the Cao army still had a hysterical time. They hadn't formed that kind of reflex arc yet, and as soon as they remembered the sound, they had to get up immediately, and by the time they reflected it, the rocket was ready to go. Liu Zhang's soldiers had long had the feeling of a reflex arc, and they would jump up as soon as they remembered the whistle.

At the moment when Cao Jun's alarm bell remembered, Liu Zhang's military camp also whistled wildly. But the Cao camp on the opposite side was already on fire, and the oil and rockets fell on the Cao camp and immediately burned. The rainy season had passed, the weather had dried, and the rockets had immediately burned when they landed on the camps and wooden fences......

There is no doubt about the mobility of the cavalry, just by the time the soldiers get up to look for weapons, rockets have already filled the entire barracks. The fire was raging, and Cao Jun had just finished gathering, and Liu Zhang, who was in the distance, had already ordered Ma Chao to bring his troops over. Lu Bu saw that Cao Jun's reinforcements were coming, and immediately withdrew, after all, he only had more than 1,000 people.

The cavalry ran away, and Cao Ying's camp was also burned in half, and when Liu Zhang led the troops, Cao Cao stood in front with a disgraced face, and it could be seen that Cao Cao was extremely angry. Where did he think of this situation, and Lu Bu would dare to go out of the city and burn him? Not only did he not think of it, but Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others couldn't think of it.

"Puff Lu Buan dares to burn my camp...... "A person who is about to die actually dares to come out."

"Lord, this must be Chen Gong's plan!" Xun Yu is still very calm, they have only burned the barracks at present, and the ordnance and grain and grass have not been counted, and they don't know how much has been burned.

Liu Zhang just looked at Cao Cao quietly, and it took a long time for Liu Zhang to say: "I have the ordnance materials here, I don't know if Cao Sikong wants to buy them?" "Liu Zhang has a lot of good things here, just sold the supplies of a weak brigade to Cao Cao, and Liu Zhang still has a lot of leftovers.

Cao Cao was not only angry, this was probably the most tragic siege battle Cao Cao had ever fought in his life, right? From an extremely advantageous situation to a disadvantage, if there is no such a rich man Liu Zhang by his side, I am afraid that he Cao Cao can only withdraw his army. You must know that this time definitely lowered Cao Jun's morale to freezing point, but Liu Zhang stood in the distance with his soldiers, so he would not make Cao Jun feel isolated.

Cao Cao suppressed the anger in his heart: "I want all these things such as ordnance, siege equipment, grain and grass, and tomorrow I will attack the White Gate Tower, and General Liu will be responsible for attacking the North Gate." Cao Cao's anger towards Lu Bu has reached a certain point, and he can't wait to tear Lu Bu apart now.

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "No problem, just pay for it." Speaking of this, Liu Zhang rode back to the camp, and this time it exceeded Liu Zhang's expectations.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Zhang's figure walking away, and his body fell into Cao Ang's arms. Everyone was shocked and hurriedly gathered around, Cao Cao said weakly: "Chen Gong, Chen Gong......" I don't know what Cao Cao's heart is at this moment, anyway, his desire for talents is getting stronger and stronger. This time Liu Zhang's wealth made Cao Cao more and more eager for talents, he now has no shortage of strategists and generals, but suddenly felt that he should have a talent to help him with logistics.

In the past few days, those merchants have helped Liu Zhang deliver grain, and even the merchants passing by will sell some supplies to Cao Cao. At first, Cao Cao was very disdainful, but now he is vaguely envious. With an endless stream of food and money, Liu Zhang can squander it unscrupulously, but he can't.

Reluctantly returning to the camp, Guo Jiacai said solemnly: "Lord, although Liu Zhang said that he didn't attack Lu Bu with his heart, he did stand on our side. But we have to pay attention to Liu Zhang now, what if it is Liu Zhang's main attack on Xuchang now? He had a steady stream of food and logistics troops, and the merchants were all doing their best to help him. How do we deal with that time? Guo Jia didn't think that Lu Bu could do anything, with Liu Zhang's help, he could still easily defeat Lu Bu.

Only then did everyone realize the seriousness of the problem, and now they have seen Liu Zhang's strong side. If the leading figure is not Liu Zhang, but Xu Huang or Wu Yi, how can they repel them? As Guo Jia said this, everyone present quieted down.

The way of imagining the enemy is very useful, and these words calm everyone present. It took a long time for Xun Yu to say: "Liu Zhang shouldn't attack us?" Since occupying Jingzhou, he is afraid that it will be a long time before he can get through a period of reprie. This period of time is enough for us to develop, not to mention that the Son of Heaven is in our hands, so Liu Zhang, as a Han family, should not attack the imperial court and do that usurpation. But what he said was extremely unconfident......

After everyone was silent, Cao Cao said: "The top priority is to get Lu Bu done first, and as for Liu Zhang, let's talk about it in the future." Liu Zhang seems to have made Cao Cao see a good way to strengthen the army, that is, to vigorously develop merchants. But he didn't know that all this was built on the abundance of grain, otherwise vigorously developing merchants would only harm himself.

Although the topic is over, everyone's minds are already thinking about it. If it was really Liu Zhang's change to a first-class master who would attack the city, how should they resist? Is it out there to fight a field war? But Liu Zhang's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is very powerful, and if they fight a siege battle, they have a better chance. It's a pity that they don't know Liu Zhang's methods, otherwise they would rather choose field warfare than consider siege warfare.

At this moment, Lu Bu and the others, who had returned to the city, laughed, they were really excited to see the fire in Cao's camp, and if it went on like this, Cao Cao would not be far from withdrawing the army. Lu Bu threw away Fang Tian's halberd and strode towards the main seat: "Happy, if Liu Zhang comes a little late, the entire Cao camp will be set on fire, and then Cao Cao will only need to run out, and we can rush up and kill that Cao Cao." Lu Bu was really happy at the moment, he burned half of Cao Cao's military camp, which greatly boosted their morale.

Chen Gong also nodded and said: "Then Liu Zhang is too fast, Cao Jun has not concentrated the counterattack force, but Liu Zhang has already brought troops over." Tomorrow, let's look at Cao Jun's reaction, and then we will naturally know what Cao Cao is thinking. Chen Gong didn't expect tonight's plan to go so smoothly, he has been a grandson for more than a month, and he finally raised his eyebrows tonight.

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "It's just Liu Zhang, if it weren't for Cao Cao on one side, I would definitely be able to lead the army to defeat Liu Zhang." Liu Zhang's performance that day was simply laughing to death Lu Bu, that kind of person dares to be dominant?

Chen Gong opened his mouth but he didn't speak, he couldn't say anything depressing at this time. You know, they've just returned victorious, but it's not appropriate to say something damaging. After chatting for a while, Chen Gong said goodbye and left, they have to take a good rest now, and tomorrow they will see if Cao Jun will attack the city.

At this moment, Liu Zhang also returned to his camp, but Liu Zhang did not seem very happy. More than a dozen soldiers knelt in the camp. Liu Zhang had already inquired, they only blew the whistle when the Cao army's camp was on fire, and they didn't notice anything about the few minutes when Lu Bu went out of the city to attack.

Liu Zhang learned that they had been silent for a long time when they were on duty, and the dozen or so people below trembled, but even Zhang Ren and the others knelt to the side. You must know that the Chinese army is under the command of Zhang Ren, and according to the past situation, Liu Zhang will punish him.

"You know what? If it is our battalion that burns, once we lose too much of the Chinese army, the peaceful life of Chang'an will come to naught in an instant, and at that time, not only Cao Cao will come to eat me, but Yuan Shao and even other races will come to rob me. Your parents, wives and children will all be arrested or killed, do you feel that you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders at that time? "Liu Zhang still attaches great importance to reasoning, and he is still not used to killing people.

"My lord, I'm guilty......" kowtowed again and again.

Zhang Ren also said on the side: "Please punish the lord for the crime...... reasoning that he is the main general, but he needs to patrol the camp at night. He should make a tour of the state of the soldiers.

Liu Zhang motioned for them all to get up and said, "Tomorrow, the whole army will be physically punished, go back and prepare." Liu Zhang did not punish them too much, but asked them to corporal punishment in front of the three armies tomorrow, which was more of a spiritual punishment. I believe that this time they will remember it for a lifetime, after all, nearly 100,000 people watched it.

Of course, even Zhang Ren was punished together, if they found out when Lu Bu went out of the city, Lu Bu would inevitably return in vain. Although it is said that the attack is not his own camp, although it is said that the soldiers have already discovered it early, it is still a very dangerous thing for Liu Zhang. He didn't want to be burned by someone in the future, there were many masters of arson in the Three Kingdoms......
