Cao Cao patted Lin Yu's shoulder excitedly and said, "What you kid said is right, this time you first saved the princess, and then discovered the ambush of the Xiliang Army, and you really made a great contribution!" ”

"The plan of the Xiliang Army is to lure our army deeper, so they will throw away their armor and lure us to continue the pursuit, and then he will fight with us in the Hui Army, and the Xiliang Army hidden on both sides of the mountain col will drop dry firewood and rolling stones on the official road, and when the time comes, we will set fire to it, and then we will have no way to retreat, so we can only be burned alive!"

Cao Cao thought for a moment, and then explained the intention of the Xiliang Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's a few vicious strategies, if it weren't for Lin Yu, let's go over in a daze, I'm afraid we will be buried in the fire!" Xiahou said with palpitations.

"Haha, now that I know the intentions of the Xiliang soldiers in advance, I'm afraid it's not us who will die in the fire, but them!" Cao Cao laughed.

"General Cao has a strategy to deal with the Xiliang soldiers?" Lin Yu immediately said excitedly.

"Yes, but you can't participate, now that the princess is here, you have to escort the princess back!" Cao Cao looked at Lin Yu and smiled.

"Huh? Why me? Aren't there many soldiers here? Lin Yu was immediately displeased.

Lin Yu was quite loved and valued by Liu Bian, Cao Cao knew that Liu Bian had a good eye for Lin Yuqing, not to mention that Princess Wannian was also here, Cao Cao didn't dare to let the two of them take risks, so he asked Lin Yu to escort Princess Wannian back to Luoyang.

"Cao Mengde, do you look down on this palace? I have been learning swordsmanship with Wang Shi since I was a child, if you talk about kung fu, you are not my opponent, not to mention that most of the Xiliang soldiers who chased and killed me along the way were killed by me! Killing the enemy in battle is just a trivial matter! This palace doesn't have to go back, I want to kill the Xiliang soldiers with you! The princess played with her sword and shouted coquettishly.

Cao Cao suddenly had a headache, a Liu Bian, and always drove the expedition in person, although it was a must, but it made Cao Cao scared, and now there is a princess of ten thousand years, and she is actually a heroine among women.

However, at the same time of the headache, Cao Cao was still a little relieved, Liu Wei dared to fight in the Quartet, not as weak and incompetent as the first emperor Liu Hong, and must be the next Gaozu Guangwu. And the princess of Wannian is not lagging behind, the Han family has many talents, and it seems that ZTE is promising.

However, even if Princess Wannian had Yang Miaozhen's bravery, Cao Cao didn't dare to let her take risks, and immediately shook his head and said: "The eldest princess is not angry, you are a golden body, there are no eyes on the battlefield, and Weichen does not dare to joke about the princess's safety!" However, His Majesty's army is in Luoyang in the rear, and it rested last night, and now it should set off, and it will arrive in less than two hours! The princess can go to see Your Majesty first, and there are more sergeants around Your Majesty, so you can protect the princess! ”

"Lin Yu, escort the princess back to Luoyang to see Your Majesty!" Cao Cao said with a straight face.

"This ......" Lin Yu's face was bitter.

"Hmph, this palace can go back without you sending yourself!" Princess Wannian snorted coldly, snatched Lin Yu's horse beside her, turned over on the horse, and rode away to the east.

"You guys, escort the princess back to Luoyang!" Cao Cao hurriedly pointed to a few Han cavalry and said.

Dozens of cavalry of the Han Army suddenly rode out and chased after the princess of Wannian.

"And you ......" Cao Cao pointed to Lin Yu again, wanting him to go back.

"General Cao, master, I can't go over, the mountain road over there is rugged, I still have to show you the way!" Lin Yu immediately thought of a rhetoric.

"This, okay!" Cao Cao nodded, and agreed that Lin Yu stayed, Lin Yu's martial arts were already extraordinary, no worse than ordinary captains, not to mention his own plans, and people who were familiar with the terrain had to cooperate.

"Big brother, you've been around for a long time, how are you going to deal with Xiliang soldiers?" Xiahoudun next to him looked anxiously and said.

"The Xiliang soldiers plan to burn us, then we will plan and treat others in the way of others!" Cao Cao sneered.

"How to fight, please ask the general to order!" Yang Zaixing arched his hand.

"Ha, good! Lin Yu, since you are familiar with the terrain, then take Yuan Rang and Miaocai to lead 5,000 people to the previous place and set me a fire in the mountains and forests! And I led the two generals, Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi, to lead 3,000 cavalry to still take the official road and go to lure the enemy! Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"But there are still tens of thousands of Zhang Liao's Xiliang troops in Xingyang, if they find out that there is a fire here and come to help, what can they do?" Xiahou Yuan frowned.

"The battlefield is ever-changing, how can you fight if everything goes according to plan? Plunder the ambush of Xu Rong's 20,000 horses first, and then see the opportunity to act! Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Cao Cao's use of soldiers lies in a trick word, and the soldiers are tricky, Cao Cao's use of soldiers is never step-by-step, so few people can understand Cao Cao's meaning.

Since Xu Rong's 20,000 horses and horses were ambushed in the mountain cols on both sides of Xingyang, as long as they were taken by surprise, they could be eliminated, so the 20,000 soldiers and horses should be destroyed first. And Zhang Liao's 80,000 soldiers and horses are invincible, so avoid its edge first!

"Good! That's it! Yang Zaixing and the others were all bold people, and immediately agreed.

"Well, Yuan, let Miaocai take the first step! A certain family is slow down from the main road! Cao Cao nodded.

"It's brother! Come with me! "Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan's brothers got off the horse, led five thousand men and horses, and under the leadership of Lin Yu, headed towards the high mountains outside Xingyang.

The group was condensed, and not long after walking, Lin Yu pointed to a place and said: "General Miaocai, I just saw that from here you can go around to the col on the other side, but the Xiliang soldiers have ambushed you on both sides of the col!" You will take a detour from here to Lingyiben, and then we will set fire to both sides at the same time! ”

"Good!" Xiahou Yuan looked at the terrain, nodded, and departed the general Han army to make a detour to the other side of the mountain pass.

Cao Cao, who was on the official road, looked at the remaining Han cavalry beside him and said: "Our three thousand cavalry, the momentum is not big, cut down more bushes on both sides and tie them to the horse's tail, causing tens of thousands of cavalry to gallop!" ”

Cao Cao once used this trick in Li Xianzhong's battle against Lu Bu, but he was not afraid to use it more than he could. Cao Cao used these tactics again.

Not long after, 3,000 Han troops cut down the bushes and tied more than 8,000 horses to the bushes.

Cao Cao turned over and rode with 3,000 cavalry, and 5,000 horses galloped, and after a while, he raised smoke and dust in the sky, as if there were tens of thousands of cavalry.

Here, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan each took more than 2,000 horses and detoured from the mountain road to the mountains on both sides.

"General Yuanrang, look, the Xiliang army is ambushed there!" Lin Yu pointed to the Xiliang army ambushed in the mountain col below and said softly.

Because the Xiliang soldiers in ambush were all calmly looking at the official road below, and the Han army was walking in the hidden mountains and forests, they didn't find it at all.

"Good guy, if it weren't for you, they would have served you a pot!" Xiahoudun looked at the Xiliang army in the mountain col, densely ambushed, and said in a deep voice.

"Look over there, it's General Meng De here!" Lin Yu pointed to the sky full of smoke and dust rising in front of the official road.

Xiahoudun looked along Lin Yu's point, only to see that on the official road, Cao Cao led three thousand cavalry to emerge from the official road, and then there was also dust flying in the sky.

"Go, go with me and set a fire! Burn this group of Xiliang dog thieves! Xiahoudun immediately led the Han army, quietly touched down, and prepared to set fire to the mountain.

Below, Cao Cao looked around and saw that the surrounding area was full of bushes, and upward, there were relatively steep peaks.

Cao Cao nodded and said secretly: "This is indeed an excellent ambush place. ”

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao deliberately stopped, whispered a few times to the scouts, and saw several scouts riding out, as if to detect news.

In the mountain col, a Xiliang lieutenant next to Xu Rong frowned and said, "General, they sent scouts over, what should I do?" ”

Xu Rong sneered and said: "This leader still knows the art of war, but this place is overgrown with bushes, and the scouts are coming in and out, so I told the brothers to hide it!" ”

Sure enough, as if to verify what Xu Rong said, the dozens of scouts patrolled the official road at will, and then returned to their own formation.

"General Zaixing, when the fire breaks out on the mountain, you will lead a thousand cavalry, put the official road on the left, don't let the Xiliang soldiers go down to the official road, General Yanhe, you will lead a thousand soldiers and horses to guard the mountain col on the right!" Cao Cao ordered in a low voice.

"Got it!" Yang Yansi said with a wicked laugh.

This strategy is also quite vicious, holding on to the official road, and the Xiliang soldiers can only be trapped alive in the sea of fire at that time. And if the Xiliang soldiers fled to the mountain, but the fire was originally put up from the mountain, and when the fire in the mountain col decreased, the mountain would burn, and if the Xiliang soldiers entered the mountain, they could only be burned alive by the fire.

"General, why didn't they come?" The lieutenant next to Xu Rong saw that Cao Cao was not marching, and said hurriedly.

"I'm afraid he's weighing! No hurry! Xu Rong said in a deep voice.

And while Xu Rong was waiting, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan each touched the mountain cols on both sides and set fires.

"The general is not good, there is a fire on the other side!" The lieutenant next to Xu Rong suddenly found that there was a fire in the col opposite.

"What? How did you expose yourself? Xu Rong didn't know why.

"Oh no, there's a fire behind us!"

"What's going on?"

"Who set the fire?"

At this time, the weather was dry, overgrown with bushes, and there was a lot of dead grass, and the Xiliang soldiers accumulated a lot of dry firewood in the col in order to deal with the Han army. The fire was together, and the mountain cols on both sides suddenly burst into flames. However, most of the mountain peaks are towering ancient trees, and for a while, they can't be burned.

"Kill me!"

Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi each led a thousand Han troops and killed them towards the mountain passes on both sides.

But after a while, a raging fire broke out in the cols on both sides. On both sides, 10,000 Xiliang soldiers were caught in the fire.

Before the battle, many Xiliang soldiers were burned by the fire, and the Xiliang soldiers were suddenly in chaos, with screams and shouts.

"General, what should I do?" The lieutenant next to Xu Rong brandished his spear, desperately picking up the dry firewood and bushes around him, and looked at Xu Rong anxiously.

"Rush to the official road!" Xu Rong saw that there were still only 3,000 people including Cao Cao below, and estimated that his own people were overwhelming, as long as he rushed down the official road, he could still escape.

"Rush with me!" Xu Rong held a spear in his hand, and led the Xiliang soldiers who were deep in the fire behind him to rush towards the official road below.

In the mountains and forests, Lin Yu saw that Xu Rong was about to break through, and he was about to rush down to fight with a spear in his hand, but was stopped by Lin Yu.

"General Yuanrang, what are you pulling me for?" Lin Yu looked at Xiahoudun suspiciously.

"You kid don't want to die?" Xiahou scolded and shouted.

"At this time, charging downward, it is just right to cooperate with General Cao and destroy the Xiliang thieves in one fell swoop!" Lin Yu was puzzled.

"As the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless, these two things, even if there are many soldiers and horses, they can't resist! Don't you see the bushes in the col? Although it is fierce at this time, it will be gone after a while, and then the fire will burn on the mountain, if you go down to fight, once you are entangled in the fire, how can you get out? Xiahoudun explained.

"Now we should hurry down the mountain and take shelter from the fire on the official road! Meng De below has already guarded the official road, and these Xiliang soldiers deserve to be burned to death by the fire! ”

Lin Yu looked at the mountain col and saw that the fire was fierce and tight, and the shrubs and dry firewood were burning, like a fire dragon, sweeping over the Western Liang Army, causing the Western Liang Army to scream again and again.

Lin Yu couldn't help but shudder, if he attacked at this time, once he was entangled by the Xiliang soldiers, he was afraid that the army would also be buried in the fire.

"Quick, let's get out of the way!" Lin Yu hurriedly said.

"Let's go, brothers!" With a wave of his hand, Xiahoudun led the Han army to retreat down the mountain one after another. At the same time, on the other side of the mountain, Xiahou Yuan, who had set a fire, also led the Han army to withdraw to the detour and the official road.

Below, Xu Rong led the Xiliang army to rush down the official road.

Xu Rong is located on the right mountain pass, above the official road, which is guarded by Yang Yansi. Xu Rong didn't know Yang Yansi, thinking that he was a lonely and unknown person, although Xu Rong had no horses, he had been in the Xiliang army for a long time, and he had developed General Xiliang's confidence in his bravery.

"Die for me!" Xu Rong stabbed Yang Yansi with a shot, wanting to kill the Han general who was blocking the way.

"Humph!" Yang Yansi sneered, and without saying anything, the tiger-headed black gold gun moved, and stabbed straight to Xu Rong's heart. With just one shot, he stabbed Xu Rong in the heart.

"Ahh Xu Rong screamed and fell down.

"General!"

The Xiliang soldiers beside Xu Rong were suddenly shocked.

"Avenge the general! Rush me! Captain Xiliang took over Xu Rong's command and ordered the Xiliang Army to rush down the official road.

But Yang Yansi was extremely brave, and there were a thousand cavalry around him, and no matter how the Xiliang army was rushing, he could only be suppressed in the mountain pass. On the other side, Yang Zaixing put the official road on the left, which is also a husband, and he can't open it.

"What should I do if I can't rush down?" One by one, the Xiliang army was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

The lieutenant looked behind him and saw that the fire in the col was gradually getting smaller, but when he saw that the mountain was lush and green, he had an idea and said, "Don't rush, go up the mountain!" ”

A group of Xiliang troops turned around one after another and rushed towards the mountain. Seeing this, the Xiliang army on the other side also ran to the high mountain.

"Don't run!" Yang Yansi wanted to chase and kill.

"General Xiaoqi, don't chase, the fire will burn to the mountains and forests later, they won't be able to escape!" Cao Cao hurriedly called out to Yang Yansi.

People are always irresistible in the face of natural disasters, not to mention in the midst of fire, how can people run past the roaring fire dragon? The Xiliang army fled to the mountains and forests, but they were killing themselves.

Sure enough, the Xiliang army rushed through the fire in the col and fled to the mountain forest, the fire in the col gradually decreased, and a series of tongues of fire gradually spread behind the Xiliang army and burned towards the mountain.

And Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan also detoured from the official road under the mountain forest and returned to Cao Cao with his men and horses.

"Big brother, this fire can be set up so happily, Xiliang Army wanted to burn us, but we roasted it!" Xiahoudun laughed and laughed.

"Yuan Rang Mo is too happy, the movement here, Zhang Liao in front must have noticed it, when their army arrives, we are not their opponents, it is better to prepare early!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"Anyway, we have taken advantage of it, and I'm afraid that not many of the 20,000 Xiliang troops will be able to escape this sea of fire! Why don't we withdraw our troops! Xiahou Yuan proposed.

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Cao's words fell, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the west.

Cao Cao glanced around, and the fire in the col had gradually increased, revealing the rolling stones prepared by the Xiliang army inside. Dry wood shrubs can only burn for a while, but not for as long as trees.

"Ha, I'm waiting for a big victory, it's the time to show off our might, how can we retreat easily!" Cao Cao laughed evilly.

"What is General Cao going to do?" Yang Yansi saw that the burning Xiliang army was broken, and he didn't want to retreat in disgrace.

"There are rolling stones on both sides of the col, push them down for me and block the official road!" Cao Cao sat on horseback and said calmly.

"Haha, okay, when the time comes, I'll be angry with the Xiliang Army!" Xiahoudun laughed.

As soon as he said it, Xiahoudun immediately ran up the mountain col, picked up the rolling stone and threw it down.

"Obediently, it's burning me!" As soon as Xiahoudun picked up the rolling stone, he immediately threw it down, but it was the fire just now that burned and burned the rolling stone in the col red.

"Haha, Yuan Rang isn't this moving, can't you just kick it?" Yang Yansi also climbed the mountain col and kicked a rolling stone of about 100 catties off the official road with one kick.

Yang Zaixing and Xiahou Yuan also climbed the other side of the mountain col and kicked the rolling stones off the official road one by one.

Although the Han army did not have the ability of Yang Zaixing and a few others, several people worked together to pry off the rolling stones one by one with spears.

After a while, a one-man-high stone wall was piled up on the official road, and only by riding on a war horse could you see the situation on the other side.

Yang Zaixing and a few people had just descended the mountain col and stepped on the war horse, when they saw that on the opposite side, Zhang Liao, Xue Andu and others led the cavalry to gallop over.

"Hehe, this is enjoyable, kill the Xiliang dog thief, but they are helpless!" Lin Yu sat on the horse and laughed. (To be continued.) )
