"Oh no, Brother Rui, I'm on fire." Cao Chong waved his sleeves, and half of the cuffs had already been burned. Cao Chong squatted down and tried to extinguish the fire with water.

"You can't use water, you have to use something dry to extinguish the fire." Lu Rui grabbed Cao Chong's little hand and smashed his cloak on Cao Chong's hand, extinguishing the fire on Cao Chong's cuffs.

"If these fires are extinguished with water, they will fuel the fire, and they must not be extinguished with water!" Lu Rui shouted, the fire caused by these metal powders, if water is used, it will only exacerbate the fire.

"Brother Rui?"

"Extraordinary?" Everyone looked at Lu Rui with a puzzled face, the fire couldn't be extinguished with water, this is a strange story through the ages.

"Prime Minister, Rui likes to collect strange books, these powders should be ghost powder, they will enhance the fire when exposed to water, and they must not be extinguished with water." Lu Rui saw that everyone was puzzled, so he had to cover up all his knowledge with strange books.

"I see!" Cao Cao nodded, and then looked at the nearby ships, and some of the soldiers who were on fire jumped into the water, which only intensified the fire.

It's over, the luck of the Cao family is possible. Cao Cao closed his eyes and sighed helplessly, Zhou Yu's words were not wrong, if this southern expedition was frustrated, Cao Cao would be difficult to replace Han in his lifetime.

"Master Hou, now we?" Cai Mao looked around, although many ships were burned by the fire, nearly half of the ships rushed out of the fire ring.

"Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops to the north, bypass Guilin County, and find a wide place to wait and see what happens!" Lu Rui made a decision immediately.

Now Zhou Yu's main force is definitely not in Guilin County, Zhou Yu must be raiding Cao Jun's water village, and now it is useless to return to the water village. Zhou Yu has a metal with a low ignition point in his hands. This is the devil's weapon. Even if it is returned to the water village, it is just to collect the corpse for people. If you don't know it, you will give Zhou Yuyin a piece, this kind of loss-making business can't be done.

"Master Hou?"

"Our army's water village must have been raided by Zhou Yu, we can only find a place where Zhou Yu did not set up an ambush, and wait until dawn to make plans."

"Mao understood." Cai Mao arched his hand and commanded the army to leave Guilin County.

In Cao Jun's water village, Cao Pi's face was as pale as snow at this time, and cold sweat kept flowing down his forehead. My underwear is already wet. Cao Cao entrusted him with a heavy task for the first time, and this was actually the result.

"Mr. Jia, what are you talking about this black powder?" Cao Pi asked Jia Xu anxiously, and among the crowd, it seemed that only Jia Xu understood Zhou Yu's plan.

"Back to the second son, this is a kind of powder, it will burn when it encounters fire, and more importantly, this powder will fuel the fire when it encounters water." Jia Xu was only fortunate to see this kind of black powder once when he was young and traveled, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to get so many black fans.

"Flooding fuels fires?" Cao Pi was stunned for a moment. How could there be such a strange powder in the world?

"Second son, please make a decision immediately. The powder now floats in the air, and if it comes into flames, it will form a fire, which will inevitably have unpredictable consequences over time. Although Jia Xu didn't know what serious consequences these powders would cause, he was sure that these powders should not be taken lightly.

"Can these powders burn when they catch fire?" Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, even the oil didn't burn so quickly! (The fire oil of the Three Kingdoms period was not yet mature, and generally speaking, the scorching flames could not cause large-scale burning)

"Second son, please look!" Jia Xu lit a straw, and then brought it close to the small boat that fell to the ground. When Jia Xu approached Xiaolou's boat, there was only a faint glimmer of fire left at the straw head, but with a whoosh, the powder burned, and Xiaolou's boat also caught fire.

"Please make a decision as soon as possible!" Experiments are the best proof of this, and Jia Xu proved that these powders can indeed cause some terrible consequences.

Cao Pi watched Jia Xu's experiment and immediately understood something. At this time, the water village is basically purgatory on earth, and just by listening to the sound, you can know that many soldiers have already burned all over their bodies. If we don't take action, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out.

"Passed on my military order, everyone withdrew from the water village and dispersed from the various waterways to leave this place. On the way, if you encounter a wounded soldier, you can't rescue it, so drive away from the water village at full speed! Cao Pi issued a military order to the soldiers in the water village. Since the water village was built on a large water island, the fire was contained, and most of the soldiers were not harmed.

"Second son? Not to rescue wounded soldiers? Xun You was stunned for a moment, such a military order is against people.

"Yes, second son, if you don't rescue the wounded soldiers, abandon these wounded soldiers, our army."

"Time is pressing, Ben will take care of the overall situation, and all the consequences will be borne by Ben!" Cao Pi pulled out his long sword and killed the nonsense civil official, but before the civil official finished speaking, his head rolled down.

"No!" Everyone listened to Cao Pi's words, although there was some resistance in their hearts, but it was always a military order, and the generals arched their hands and went to carry out the military order.

Cao Pi looked at the fiery river, clenched the long sword in his hand, his teeth creaked, angry and helpless, he could only watch the tragedy happen.

On a hill to the west of Lake Coiled Snake, Shamoko was hunting on the mountain with a few sergeants. Shamoke likes to hunt, especially when he came to Guilin County and found that he could still find prey in the mountains in the water, which was like discovering a new world, Shamoke would sneak out every midnight to hunt some prey and fight tooth sacrifices.

"Prince, it's on fire, the camp is on fire!" Just when Shamoke was in the mood, the soldiers pointed to the Cao Jun Water Village in the distance, and the fire had already burned half the sky.

"Raided the camp?" Shamoko's first reaction was that the camp had been raided, and he was about to go down the mountain and return to the camp.

"Prince, it seems to be General Zhang!"

"Prince, there are enemy forces here!"

Almost at the same time, two pro-soldiers reported different military information. Under the hill where Shamoko was located, a fleet of ships appeared on the left, judging from the flag, it should be Zhou Yu's army. There was also a fleet on the right, which Shamoke's personal soldiers knew, it was Zhang Yun's troops, and there were many soldiers from Wumanxi.

It turned out that Zhang Yun saw the fire in the water village, and hurriedly led 10,000 sailors to the rescue. And Zhou Yu has already been ambushed here. Blocking Zhang Yun's reinforcements. As soon as the sailors of the two sides met. Without further ado, they began to fight.

"Prince, what shall we do?" One of the soldiers looked at the situation below, and the two sides fought. Shamoko and the others seem to be trapped in the mountains, and it is good to encounter friendly troops when they go down, but it is troublesome to encounter enemy troops.

"Stupid, of course I helped General Zhang and sneak attack the enemy army." Shamoko patted his soldier on the head. How can there be such a stupid person.

"But, General, are we twenty?"

"Stupid, have you heard that the thief captures the king first, the brother-in-law said that as long as the opponent's general is killed, the enemy army will be in chaos." Since Shamoke has become the son-in-law of the Cao family, of course Lu Rui has to instruct Shamoke, he can't be a reckless man, and he usually teaches Shamoke some strategies. After seeing Lu Rui use strategy. Shamoko also likes to use a little trickery.

"Quick, find it for Prince Ben. The leader of the enemy army is there! Shamoke also looked through the torch, trying to find the commander of Zhou Yujun.

"Prince, below us, on the cliff, there is a building ship, which seems to be the flagship of the enemy army, and there is a leader there, who seems to be the enemy general who talked to the prime minister a few days ago?" Shamoko's own soldiers soon spotted Zhou Yu's flagship next to the cliff, and Zhou Yu was directing the battle on the ship.

"Oh?" Shamoke fixed his eyes and saw that a general in a big red robe was directing the battle, and the boat was leaning against the cliff of the hill, and Shamoke knew that there was a cave behind the cliff, and he could go out of the mountain after passing through the waterway.

"Could it be Zhou Yu?" Shamoke was extremely excited when he saw the general's dress, if it was Zhou Yu, he would have made a great achievement. Although Zhou Yu is the governor of the capital, his familiarity with the terrain of mountains and rivers is not as good as that of Shamoke, who has lived in this environment since he was a child in Wumanxi.

As long as he climbed onto the platform of the cliff, Zhou Yu would enter his own range.

"Follow me!" Shamoke has lived in the mountains since he was a child, and his climbing skills are like those of wild apes in the mountains, and he soon climbed to the platform of the cliff, and at this time, Zhou Yu was only a hundred steps away from him.

Shamoko took out a gourd and quenched three bows and arrows with poison. in front of his longbow.

"Report, Grand Duke, the front army has resisted the enemy's attack, and the enemy's attack from the right flank has also been broken up by our army." A soldier is reporting the military situation to Zhou Yu.

"Good!" With a whoosh, before Zhou Yu could react, three poisonous arrows flew over, and his own soldiers blocked two poisonous arrows for Zhou Yu, but the third poisonous arrow passed through Zhou Yu's throat.

The fire lasted for several hours, and by daybreak there were still remnants of the fire on the river. The remnants of Cao Cao retreated into Guilin County, Guilin Taishou Mansion, Cao Cao sat on the main seat, staring at everyone, his eyes kept shooting at the civil and military, and no one knew what Cao Cao was thinking.

After a fire by Zhou Yu, Cao Cao's army was completely lost, and only Zhang Yun's rear army was still well preserved, but most of the soldiers were warriors from Wumanxi. There are less than 30,000 of the more than 100,000 troops left, and 20,000 of them are soldiers from Wumanxi, but it is said that Cao's navy has been completely wiped out. Defeated, Cao Cao was defeated, defeated very badly, starting from Yanzhou, this was the worst time.

Shamoke was a little excited, he actually shot Zhou Yu by mistake, without giving Zhou Yu any chance, a poisoned arrow sent Mei Zhoulang to the point of no return and disfigured Zhou Yu, which was a result that everyone did not expect.

After Lu Rui listened to Shamoke's description, he couldn't cry or laugh, this Shamoke was lucky. Zhou Yu's soldiers must have been ambushed near the hill early, but because Guilin County is a lava landform, there will be karst caves in the mountains, and there will be countless waterways in the caves. It's more novel than a novel!

In any case, Shamoke has made a great contribution, and Cao Cao will definitely be rewarded.

"Cao Pi, are you guilty?" Cao Cao suddenly let out a loud shout and slapped the table hard.

"The last will be convicted!" Cao Pi slowly stood up, with a dead face, and knelt in front of Cao Cao.

"Cao Pi, as the commander of the Chinese army, actually disregarded the life and death of the soldiers, escaped from the water village without permission, put him in prison, and then convicted after returning to Xudu." Cao Cao angrily rebuked Cao Pi as if he was going to kill him.

Lu Rui saw Cao Cao angry and wanted to stand up and defend Cao Pi. After all, this is not Cao Pi's fault, even if Lu Rui and Cao Cao are in the water village, I am afraid that Cao Pi will not handle it well.

Lu Rui's front foot had just taken a step, and a small hand grabbed the corner of Lu Rui's clothes, making Lu Rui stop.

Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be Cao Chong, Cao Chong gave Lu Rui a look, Lu Rui looked at Cao Cao, although Cao Cao was angry, but the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time, this is Cao Cao's performance, is this an illusion?

Lu Rui thought for a while, and then didn't stand up, providence, maybe all this is providence. Shamoke had no intention of killing Zhou Yu, and Cao Pi was convicted of Zhou Yu's surprise attack and became a scapegoat. (To be continued......)
