Guo Jia took Ma Chao and Cao Pi to rectify the military horses, Cao Cao gave him 20,000 military horses to help Fu Zhu transport military rations, and watched the Cao army camp move to the jungle from a distance, Guo Jia had two lines of tears in his eyes: "Don't dare to admonish each other with death, be a minister in vain!" ”

"What do you mean, sir?" , Cao Pi asked cautiously;

Guo Jia wiped his tears: "Baoyuan is camped at the blockage, it is the scorching heat at this time, if Lu Xun puts a fire, then the dead leaves in the woods are fuel, what should the prime minister do?" But now he is in a hurry to dominate the world and establish it is not a meritorious feat, he is in a hurry! Hi ——! ”

"Doesn't that mean that the Father-in-law is in danger? So what? Ma Chao's face changed dramatically and asked in a loud voice; Guo Jia sighed: "No matter how you persuade him now, you can't make him turn back, we have to get in touch with Fu Zhu, Kuai Liang, General Li Tong, and General Huaxiong in the shortest possible time, form an army, once there is an incident, come to the rescue immediately, in addition, I am worried that the defeat will be like a mountain, and our thirty or forty thousand troops and horses will not be able to save the war, so we need Huaide's help!" ”

"But the teacher is facing Liu Bei's army of 400,000! Four hundred thousand! They only have 1670,000 soldiers and horses, and they can't be drawn anymore! Although Cao Pi does not have much talent in military strategy, he still understands the simplest quantitative analysis;" Then it depends on Huaide's means, only he can mobilize Xiahoudun in the Fancheng area! Who else can? Say no more! The champion Hou called the Eagle Envoy, and I want to write a letter! Guo Jia said; Guo Jia's letter has no words and only pictures, he turned Cao Cao's camp into simple drawings, Feiying sent the book to Li Yu, and he quickly went to Lujiang County and Jingzhou City to gather military horses; Li Yu's life is not easy at this time, you must know that Liu Bei's army of 400,000 is there! He is not a person like Yuan Shao, there is a saying that what kind of people have what kind of soldiers, Liu Bei's tenacity is famous, and the soldiers and horses under him are also extremely tenacious; The two sides launched an offensive and defensive battle in Wuling City, relying on the strong defense of Wuling City, Li Yu and others did not suffer any losses for the time being, the only thing that worries people is that Liu Bei is supervising the construction of catapults! All right! Everyone knows the power of this thing, so there is a chill in their hearts; "Why don't you go out and get rid of those things?" , This was Li Yu's suggestion at the time, and it was quickly refuted by Xun Yu: "Why didn't Liu Bei secretly supervise the construction of catapults?" Instead, it was built openly on the right flank of their army? This is to lure us into taking the bait! Besides, this thing can't be built without professional craftsmen! ”

Cao Jun escaped a catastrophe, Liu Bei couldn't make a plan, and then came to the second plan This is Xu Shu's suggestion, there is a strong wind in the autumn season near Bashu! Xu Shu also took a lewd, he calculated the direction of the wind, ordered people to collect the feces of various animals, dry them, and light them with dry branches, etc., it was wolf smoke! The entire city of Wuling was smoked to death!

But after all, this kind of thing is only used for a short time, and the Cao army, under the command of Li Yu, used strips of cloth to moisten water to dodge the "poison gas bombs" of the Shu army, and lasted for two days without being broken!

Wuling City can be said to be the last line of defense of Jingzhou City, and it can also be said to be a high ground that threatens the hinterland of Jingzhou condescendingly, if he is not taken, even if Liu Bei occupies Wuling County, Lingling County, Guiyang County and other places, it will be easy to lose in the end, and he can't attack for dozens of days, how anxious Liu Bei is in his heart, beyond words!

In the face of the tenacious Cao army, Liu Bei could only suspend his pace, withdraw the soldiers and horses to implement the tuntian on the occupied land, and the remaining military horses were against the Cao army to strictly guard against the Cao army, which was another switch between attack and defense; When Guo Jia's letter came, Li Yu could only say one sentence at a glance: "Who gave the prime minister the idea?" This man should be killed quickly! It's a pity that the messenger is an eagle and can't speak, Xun Yu also gasped when he saw this map: "Baoyuan is camped at the blockage, is the prime minister dizzy?" ”

glanced at Guo Jia's name signed by him, Li Yu understood what was going on, this is Guo Jia did not persuade him, let him act as soon as possible, Cao Cao's side is likely to have suffered an accident! But right now, Liu Bei is eyeing him, how can there be soldiers and horses!

"That's right! That's right! Xiahoudun! Xiahoudun! Li Yu, who was a little depressed, called Cao Ren and patted him on the shoulder with unprecedented seriousness: "Cao Ren, we may suffer the biggest setback!" ”

"We haven't separated Liu Bei yet, you are talking about the prime minister", Cao Ren just wanted to scream but was covered by Li Yu; "Give me a little quiet! This matter must not be spread out! Bonghyo predicts that the prime minister will be defeated, and it will be an unprecedented defeat! Forget it, it's all an afterthought, time is running out! I'll leave it all to you now! Remember! No matter what happens, hold on here! If not, I will kill you! If you don't know how to know the place, ask Wenruo for advice! I'm leaving! ”

Li Yu's words were half said, Cao Ren didn't know why, and he didn't dare to ask more, as soon as he saw Li Yu's appearance, he knew that the matter must be big, and his heart couldn't help but be heavy, Li Yu turned around and sorted out his armor for him, and looked him up and down: "Smile!" ”

Cao Ren bared his teeth with difficulty, and smiled, Li Yu walked out: "I want to take Zhang'er and Zhi'er away!" And five hundred fine riders! ”

In the Jiangdong camp, the sergeant outside the gate of Lu Xun's big tent hurriedly came in to report: "Governor! Cao Jun turned into the mountains and forests, and all of them moved into the camp! ”

Lu Xun was facing away from the herald at this time, his face was stiff, and he couldn't hide his excitement: "Are you sure it's all moving to the camp?" And not part of the camp? ”

"The little ones can see clearly! Definitely all relocation! Even Cao Cao's big tent of the Chinese army has been moved to the jungle! Hundreds of miles before and after, a total of more than 40 tun! If the little one is lying, be willing to be a military lawyer! ", the herald affirmed!

Lu Xun muttered: "Defeated! Cao's army is defeated! Hahaha"

"Don't rejoice too soon! If you really think about things so simple, I'm afraid that the Jiangdong Army will be completely destroyed! Outside the big tent, Zhou Yu walked in: "I know that you can't hold on to what you've been waiting for these days, when the weather is the hottest and driest, but the plan must be carefully executed to win in one fell swoop!" ”

Anyway, Lu Xun has a lot of respect for Zhou Yu and a lot of admiration! He asked, "What does the Metropolitan mean?" ”

"I mean, Cao Cao probably thought that we would burn him with fire, so he must have prepared accordingly! There is a good chance that it will not work out! And if our plan fails, it means that there is a crack in the plan, and there is a break in the defensive line!

And we can rely on this kind of reverse thinking to think", Zhou Yu looked at Lu Xun with a smile, Lu Xun blinked his eyes, and the two said in unison: "Abandon the camp!" ”

"Good, good!" , Lu Xun nodded again and again: "It seems that it will take a day or two to launch the plan!" ”

Three days later, Lu Xun beat the drum and raised the tent, and the generals from all walks of life arrived, Lu Xun said with a smile: "My 500,000 reinforcements have arrived!" Generals of all stripes! The destruction of Cao Cao is today! ”

Gan Ning is an anxious man: "Dudu! You can't talk nonsense with your eyes open! What reinforcements are there? Not a single soldier! ”

Lu Xun smiled mysteriously: "Did I say that it was an ordinary soldier?" I'm talking about heavenly soldiers! After that, his fingers stretched out to the sky, and everyone looked up and looked at it and there was still nothing, Zhou Yu on the side shook his head and smiled: "Okay!" Bo Yan, don't tease them! ”

Lu Xun straightened his expression: "Even if your necks are broken, there will be no heavenly soldiers and generals from the sky, the 500,000 army I am talking about refers to the current heat, epidemics, and miasma, and you have also seen the people who have fallen ill since midsummer!" That's 10 out of 100! Didn't God give me an army of 500,000? ”

"Now! I ordered the soldiers and horses to be divided into two teams, and I will personally lead 30,000 horses and horses to burn the mountains and forests tonight, burn the camp of the Cao army, and the rest of the men and horses will be under the command of the governor of Zhou, and withdraw to Lingyang! ”

With Lu Xun's order, the Jiangdong Army was divided into two, one part was led by himself to prepare standing weapons such as bows and arrows, fire oil, etc., and the other part was led by Zhou Yu, who retreated to Lingyang first, and they really couldn't figure out why they let out the big camp that had been built with great difficulty!

On the other side, Li Yu, who was traveling under the stars, finally rushed to Fancheng and saw Xiahoudun!

"Yuan Jean! You take a look at this map first", Li Yu hurriedly handed over the condensed version of the map to Xiahoudun, who has also been a veteran on the battlefield for many years, how could he not understand it? "It's too dangerous! The surrounding mountains and forests turned out to be mountain forests! If this is a fire attack, how can there be a way to camp for hundreds of miles? ”

Li Yu sighed: "Then I want to tell you that this is the way the prime minister camps now?" ”

Xiahoudun looked at Li Yu, who had a bad face: "What? This sir! If you have anything to say, I will do what I can! ”

Li Yu said: "I need you to send troops to Lujiang and Chaisang to pick up the prime minister who may have fled!" ”

"This is a private transfer of military horses!" , Xiahou Huo Ran got up, he is not a hairy boy, he knows the current state of Cao Cao, and rashly moves the military horses without permission, this is going to be killed! Even if he is Cao Cao's own brother, it can't be!

Li Yu was anxious: "Xiahou Yuanrang!" You're a timid prime minister and you're dead! Who am I, Li Yu, don't you know? Will I do anything to hurt the Prime Minister? Even if I am worried, in the future, the prime minister will be held accountable, and I will bear it! I don't need you to take the blame! ”

Xiahou Xuan's face turned red and he was embarrassed, he thought that Li Yu was ridiculing him, so he had to sneer: "I don't mean that, it's just that the 200,000 troops in my hands are scattered in Wancheng and Fengqiu, and it is definitely not an overnight thing to gather together!" ”

"Not much! Just have 350,000 military horses! But you have to follow me! Even if Fancheng is temporarily emptied, it will be no problem! ", Li Yu said; All right! I'm going to gather my horses and go to Chaisang! ”
