Chapter 242: Feast of Fire

"Childe!"

"Childe, the last general has finally waited for you."

Seeing Yuan No, Liang Gang and Liu Ye were a little excited.

In the deep mountains and old forests of Shansang County, Yuan Wei finally met Liang Gang and Liu Ye.

"Ziyang, Shuchang, hurry up, hurry up, please get up." Yuan Wei hurriedly rushed forward to pick up the two, and Zhou Cang and Ma Zhong, who were standing behind Liang Gang and Liu Ye, also came forward to salute.

Zhou Cang was afraid that Yuan would blame Liang Gang and Liu Ye for his disobedience, so he hurriedly took the blame himself and said: "Son, they are all the last generals who have to follow, and they don't blame the military advisors and generals." ”

At the beginning, Yuan Que proposed in the letter to let He Yi and Zhou Cang stay in the area of Bedhill and continue to occupy the mountain as kings, just considering that the Yellow Turban thieves are unreliable, in case they lose a few battles along the way, these Yellow Turban thieves are very likely to defect to Cao Cao, and it will be a big trouble at that time.

If he didn't keep to Zhou Cang, Yuan Wei knew that he would never betray.

Because in history, Zhou Cang followed Guan Yu's death.

Like Zhou Cang, if he doesn't recognize the master, once he recognizes the master, he will never turn his back on the master and vote for it, so if Zhou Cang does not obey the order and has to follow, Yuan Wei is also happy to see it.

At that moment, Yuan Wei smiled and said: "It's not strange, it's coming, hehe." ”

At this time, Liu Ye also met with Tai Shi Ci, Gan Ning, Xiao Qiao and others, but to Liu Ye's disappointment, he didn't see Da Qiao in the crowd, and Da Qiao, who was supposed to be with Xiao Qiao, disappeared.

When Liu Yezheng was confused, Yuan Wei's guilty voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Ziyang, Da Qiao, she ......"

Liu Ye's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he felt like a knife in his heart, but Liu Ye was Liu Ye after all, seeing Yuan Nuo's face full of guilt, he also comforted Yuan Nuo and said: "Childe doesn't have to blame himself too much for this, the war is in chaos, no matter what happens, it's not strange, Da Qiao...... If Izumishita had knowledge, he would have forgiven his son. ”

Yuan Wei said: "Da Qiao and Qiao Wei just lost the alliance, and they may not suffer misfortune. ”

"Childe doesn't have to be comforted." Liu Ye shook his head and said miserably, "I can still bear it." ”

Yuan Fu sighed, and didn't say anything more, speaking from his heart, Yuan Wei didn't think that Da Qiao Qiao was still lucky, in the chaos, anything could happen.

Those Cao Jun who caught Da Qiao and Qiao Jue didn't care so much, they were all sturdy men who couldn't touch women all year round, and when they saw a delicate beauty like Da Qiao, how many could they hold it? Unless they happened to bump into Cao Jun's general, Da Qiao and Qiao Jue would definitely not be lucky.

Liu Ye said to Yuan Wei again: "Son, I won't participate in the next military conference, I want to go down and sleep for a while." ”

"Go, go." Yuan Wei nodded hurriedly, he knew that what Liu Ye needed most now was to be quiet alone, how could he force Liu Ye to stay and participate in the military discussion?

Liu Ye staggered away, and Yuan could only sigh in return.

Life is that your mother gave birth to you, and you have to live on your own, so you are destined to have a lot of unsatisfactory.

Yuan Wei was very sympathetic to Liu Ye's misfortune in his heart, but the pace of escaping for his life could not be stopped because of Liu Ye's misfortune.

Yuan Wei called Liang Gang to him and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Chang, you have been active in this area recently, and you must be very familiar with the nearby terrain, tell me, how many roads can you go north to Qingzhou?" ”

Liang Gang said: "Out of Shansang County, to the north of the plains, everywhere there are roads, so there is no need to look for roads, the only thing to consider is Suishui, Suishui is the largest river in Pei County, the water is wide and deep, no boats or pontoon bridges can never cross the river." ”

Yuan Wei said: "It is impossible to build a pontoon bridge, and it is impossible for Cao Jun to give us so much time." ”

"Then you can only collect ships." Liang Gang said, "Although Pei County has also been war-torn for a long time and the people have been displaced, it is still more prosperous than Runan County, and there are many fishing villages and wharves along Suishui and Cao Jun's water village, but all ships have been controlled by Cao Jun recently." ”

Yuan Wei immediately called Ding Feng to him and ordered, "Ah Feng, it's up to you next." ”

Ding Feng clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Son, I will come back in five days at most, and I will come back in three days at least." ”

"Go ahead." Yuan still trusted Ding Feng very much, and said, "Pay attention to safety." ”

Ding Feng shook it again and turned around.

(Dividing Line)

Zhuyi, Cao Jun Water Village.

However, it is strange that this water village was not built in the river, but on the bank.

Therefore, this water village is not so much a water village as a military dock.

The reason why Cao Jun wanted to set up a special water village in Zhuyi was because Suishui turned a corner here.

Anyone who has studied geography knows that the flow rate of the water at the bend of the river will slow down, and the sediment carried by the river will be deposited as soon as the flow rate slows down, and as soon as the sediment is deposited, the riverbed will also rise, and the water will become shallow.

Because the water is shallow, people and horses do not have to go to the boat, they can directly wade across the river.

Most of the hinterland of Yuzhou is a plain terrain of Pingchuan, and the available terrain like Zhuyi is very scarce, so the Cao army will garrison and build a fortress here.

At this time, Guo Jia Caoren is on the guard tower of the water village.

Looking down from the tower from the tower, you can clearly see that hundreds of Cao soldiers are busy burying sulfur, fire, hay and other ignition materials into the water village.

Cao Ren frowned and said: "Military advisor, set up camp, the first priority is fire prevention, others have not been able to remove the fire-causing things such as sulfur, fire and nitrate, but you have buried a large number of these fire-causing things in the water village, but why?" ”

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "The general has already guessed it, so why bother asking me?" ”

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment and asked, "What, the military advisor really plans to burn down this water village?" ”

Guo Jia said: "As long as Yuan can be burned to death, let alone a water village, what does it matter if the entire Xu capital is burned?" ”

"Burn Yuan?" Cao Ren was surprised and said, "Strategist, how do you know that Yuan will definitely come to Zhuyi Water Village?" ”

"I'm not an immortal, how do I know if Yuan will definitely come to Zhuyi Water Village?" Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said, "However, we can create opportunities for Yuan Wei, can't we?" ”

"Create opportunities?" Cao Ren asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "That means that we have to let Yuan Que know that Zhuyi Water Village is the only place where you can wade across the Sui River, and we also have to make Yuan Que sure that he has every chance and strength to lay down Zhuyi Water Village, just wait for Yuan Que to enter the Water Village, hehe, what awaits him will be, a feast of fire." ”

Cao Ren frowned and said, "Strategist, although your idea is good, I'm afraid it's not easy to realize?" ”

"It's man-made." Guo Jia looked up at the starry sky and said leisurely, "Shang Shuyun, God rewards diligence, as long as we prepare diligently, God will favor us after all." After a pause, Guo Jia said, "Opportunity will always favor those who are prepared, not those who sit and talk about the Tao, are you right, General?" ”

"That's right." Cao Ren said, "Then let's give it a try." ”

As soon as the words fell, Cao Renbu's general Niu Jin ran over and reported: "Military advisor, according to your orders, sulfur, fire, salt, dry firewood and other fire-starting things have been buried. ”

"Good." Guo Jia lowered his head and said, "Lay another layer of floating soil on it, not too thick, just cover up the sulfur, fire and firewood and dry firewood, and prepare ten catapults and a hundred cans of fire oil, hide them in the grove on the opposite bank, and then order five hundred soldiers to stand by in the grove." ”

"No." Niu Jin took the order and went.

After Niu Jin left, Cao Ren said again: "Strategist, why do you still need to prepare fire oil and catapults? Could it be that so much sulfur, fire, nitrate, and dry firewood will not burn Yuan to death? ”

Guo Jia waved his hand and said: "Although the sulfur and fire nitrate are fierce, they are limited in quantity, they can only block the periphery, and they are not enough to burn the entire water village, and the burning time of sulfur fire and nitrate is very short. ”

Cao Ren suddenly said: "So, the military advisor thought of using fire oil to fuel the combustion? ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Yes, a hundred cans of fire oil can be smashed down, which is enough to completely ignite hundreds of thousands of catties of dry firewood and hay in the water village in a short period of time. ”

Cao Ren said again: "Strategist, wouldn't it be better to directly pour fire oil on the ground before the battle? ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "The smell of fire oil is strong, and the wind can even send ten miles, if Yuan Wei smells the smell of fire oil, this feast we have worked so hard to set up will be in vain." ”

Cao Ren stopped talking
