Chapter 36: Infestation
"What, Yuan Xiao'er dared to come to rob the camp?!" After listening to Lu Fan's report, Sun Ce was so angry that he kicked the case in the big tent to the ground, and the tiger talismans, seals, and orders placed on the case all fell to the ground in an uproar, and Song Qian and Jia Hua, who were guarding the side, hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
Lu Fan said again: "Lord, I thought this matter was a little strange. ”
"Strange? What's weird? Sun Ce turned his head and asked, "You can come." ”
Lu Fan said: "If Yuan really plans to come to rob the camp, even if he takes advantage of the dead of night to bring a single army to come, why bother to make a big deal and inform the whole army of the robbery of the camp?" ”
"That's right." Sun Ce calmed his anger and said, "Could it be that this is just Yuan Wei'er's suspicious strategy, and its intention is to disrupt our army, so that our soldiers are tired and unable to rest?" ”
Lu Fan said: "In my opinion, this possibility is very large. ”
Huang Gai said: "Lord, the old minister thinks that Yuan Wei is scheming and brave, maybe he really dares to come to rob the camp!" ”
Cheng Pu also said: "Yes, my lord, a few days ago in Shouchun, three days ago in Xia Cai, Yuan has always had unexpected moves, this time it is difficult to guarantee that he will not rob the camp at night, not to mention that our army is tired from afar, and it is indeed a good time for Yuan's army to rob the camp." ”
Sun Ce looked at Lu Fan with his eyes again, and Lu Fan smiled bitterly and said: "The art of war, the truth is false, the virtual is real, and it is difficult to guarantee that it is not Yuan Wei'er's virtual and real plan, if our army is on guard, he will turn the real into the virtual and will not come to rob the camp, if our army is defenseless, he will turn the virtual into the real and lead the army to rob the camp." ”
"Just let him come, so-and-so is waiting for him!" Sun Ce snorted and shouted again, "Where are Huang Gai and Cheng Pu?" ”
The two veterans took a step forward in unison and said, "The end will be!" ”
Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and he swept the faces of the two veterans with a majestic manner, and shouted: "A thousand elite soldiers with one of you, ambushed on the left and right sides of the camp, if Yuan Nuo Xiao'er comes, it is convenient for the camp to set fire, and when the fire starts in the camp, you will immediately wave your division from the gate to cut off Yuan Nuo'er's retreat!" ”
"No!" Huang Gai and Cheng Pu agreed and took the order.
Sun Ce shouted again: "Where are Song Qian and Jia Hua? ”
Song Qian and Jia Hua stepped forward and replied sharply: "The last general." ”
Sun Ce shouted: "Immediately lead three hundred armor soldiers to dig pits all around a certain big tent, and build antlers to wait for Yuan Jun!" ”
"No!" Song Qian and Jia Hua agreed and also received the order.

In the middle of the night, everything is silent.
On the street inside the south gate of Longkang, it was already full of Yuan Junjia, and under the night, I saw a large area of black pressure, and four thousand people stood there silently.
Yuan Fu's eyes turned and looked at Ji Ling and Jin Shang who were standing on the side of the street.
Ji Ling and Jin Shang bowed their hands together, and said solemnly: "Childe is precious." ”
Yuan Wei replied, turned over on his horse again, and then shouted softly: "Open the city gate!" ”
"Childe has an order, open the city gate!" Zhang Niuqi immediately stepped forward and yelled loudly, and Colonel Yuan Jun, who was guarding the city gate, hurriedly took his soldiers to pull out the door bolt and open the city gate.
The ruined gates slowly opened in the night.
Outside the city gate, the night was extremely dark.
Yuan Wei raised his right hand again and pressed it forward, and shouted: "Let's go!" ”
The next moment, the soldiers of the Yuan army who were standing in a solemn line turned around in unison, faced the city gate, and then followed Yuan Fu out of the city in a four-way column.
After leaving the south gate, Yuan Wei called Zhang Niu Calf to him and said, "Niu Li, have you written down all the words?" ”
"Don't worry, the public has written it down!" After Zhang Niuli finished speaking, he repeated Yuan Wei's instructions again, "This time the camp is robbed, and you can't engage the Jiangdong army, you are only allowed to invade with long-distance bows and arrows." ”
"The Jiangdong Army has come from afar, people are sleepy and lacking, as long as you are not greedy for merit, Sun Ce will definitely not be able to help you!" Yuan said this, and said very seriously, "Calf, the success or failure of this battle is related to the survival of my Yuan clan, you must not take it lightly, and remember it." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, you will get it!" Zhang Niucalf clenched his fists and said solemnly.
"Okay, then you and I will divide our troops!" After Yuan Wei finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and went west.
Zhang Niucalf raised his right arm and stepped forward, shouting: "Yu Linwei's sons, come with me!" ”
The next moment, the 4,000 Yuan troops out of the city were divided into two groups, more than 1,000 cavalry followed Zhang Niucal to continue south, straight to the Jiangdong Army camp, and the remaining 2,000 infantry turned to the west.

Koto Daying.
Sun Ce was talking with Lu Fan Bingzhu in the big tent of the Chinese army, but the two were not talking about the current war, but about some strange customs and folk affairs in Jiangdong.
It was Lu Fan who was talking: "But it was said that King Goujian of Yue visited Yuyao County, but he saw a straw sandal floating on the Yao River, which was two feet and three inches long!" Gou Jian said: There is such a huge foot in the world, and its people will be majestic! Then he sent the entourage to visit him, and he got a majestic man in the upper reaches of the Yao River, more than a foot tall! ”
Sun Ce said with a smile: "This person is the general of the Yue Kingdom, Linggu Fu, right?" ”
Lu Fan said with a smile: "What the lord said is right, this person is Linggu Fu, the general of the Yue Kingdom, and later Wu and Yue fought against Li, Linggu Fuge beheaded the king of Wu and Lu with one toe, so that he died of illness. ”
Sun Ce muttered: "It's a pity, such a fierce general can't be used by me." ”
"The lord doesn't have to be sad." Lu Fan said, "I was about to report to the lord, a month ago in Yin County, passing through Yuyao County, I saw a strong man selling firewood in the city, his height is more than eight feet, he can pull out the mountain, if the lord can recruit it, he will become the contemporary Linggu of my Jiangdong Sun family!" ”
"Oh?" Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard this, "I don't want Yuyao to still have such a strong man!" A certain person should be recruited by someone, no, when Huainan is in trouble, a certain person should go to collect it! ”
Lu Fan said: "The lord is wise. ”
While the two were talking, Song Qian suddenly entered the inner report and reported: "Lord, the Fu Lu Army has just returned, and the Yuan Army has already left the city!" ”
"Really? Yuan no Xiao'er is really here! Sun Ce immediately pushed the case up, and said with a cruel smile, "Hehe, Yuan Nuo Xiao'er is really bold, this time, let him taste my Sun Ce's awesomeness!" ”
At that moment, Sun Ce and Lu Fan went out of the big tent and went to the central guard tower.
In ancient times, the army camped, and generally built high guard towers in the center, four corners and both sides of the gate, which were mainly used for vigilance and commanding in wartime.
Sun Ce and Lu Fan climbed the central guard tower and looked out, only to see that it was pitch black outside the camp, they couldn't see or hear anything, only the camp was full of torches and fires, and there were patrols patrolling back and forth, everything looked like a normal camp.
"There's not much movement." Lu Fan frowned and said.
Sun Ce shook his head and said, "No, they have already come, just outside!" ”
Sun Ce has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he has already smelled a strange smell from the air.
Before Sun Ce's words fell, a faint fire suddenly lit up outside the camp, and then this faint fire was divided into two, two into four, and four into eight, expanding rapidly, and in just a moment, it turned into countless sparks, like a sky full of stars, so many that it was impossible to count.
Then, like a sky full of stars, countless sparks suddenly rose into the sky, and then intertwined into a dense Martian rain in the air, and fell towards the camp of the Jiangdong Army.
"What is this?" Sun Ce's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
Lu Fan was also dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief.
Didn't Yuan Jun say that he was going to rob the camp? Since they robbed the camp, why didn't they rush in, but instead hid outside and set off rockets? Which camp is this robbery?
The next moment, a large patch of dense Martian rain had already accumulated in the Jiangdong camp.
The debris and hay piled up in the camp were immediately set on fire, and many tents made of fabric were also hit by rockets, and they burst into flames in an instant.
In the beginning, there were only sporadic fires in the camp.
But after a few waves of arrow rain, the fire in the Jiangdong camp increased sharply, and there was also a faint trend of continuous pieces, if the fire continued to spread, the entire camp and all the grain and straw weight would be paid! In ancient times, the military camp was most afraid of fire attacks, so it was necessary to build a village by water!
"My lord?" Lu Fan looked back at Sun Ce, his face full of anxiety.
This time, it was really a bit unexpected for them, and now the Jiangdong army is in a dilemma, so ignore it accordingly, the entire camp and all the grain and straw will be burned to the bottom, but if you call out an ambush to put out the fire, then the plan to ambush the Yuan army will come to naught, and this battle will not be easy to fight.
"Yuan no child!" Sun Ce gritted his teeth and shouted, "Order, the Chinese army will give up the ambush and get water to put out the fire!" ”
Song Qian hurriedly climbed the guardrail of the guard tower and shouted at the heralds below: "The lord has an order, the Chinese army will give up the ambush and get water to put out the fire!" ”
"The lord has an order, the Chinese army gives up the ambush and takes water to put out the fire!"
"The lord has an order, the Chinese army gives up the ambush and takes water to put out the fire!"
"The lord has an order, the Chinese army gives up the ambush and takes water to put out the fire!"
More than a dozen horsemen galloped towards the surrounding of the camp.
The Jiangdong Army, which was originally ambushed in the camp and was preparing to ambush Yuan's army, showed up one after another, and then under the reprimand of officers at all levels, they fetched water and put out the fire in a noisy manner.
However, the ambushes of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, who were lying in ambush outside the camp, did not move.
After all, the fire in the camp was not big, and Sun Ce was also unwilling, thinking that if the Yuan army took the opportunity to attack, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai would still be able to retreat.
