"Cao Cao's 350,000 army, menacing, unstoppable, the previous fire burned Bowangpo, but it was just a fluke, Cao Cao is proficient in the art of war, and he will not repeat the mistakes of the past, only to evacuate the new field soldiers and horses, in order to avoid its edge, is the best policy." Zhuge Liang said.

"Just withdraw, wouldn't it be cheaper for Cao Cao?"

"Xinye is the place where the lord has been operating for many years, since I don't want to do this, I have discussed with the lord to evacuate all the people and baggage of Xinye City, leaving only an empty city for Cao Cao." Zhuge Liang said.

"Xinye is also the barrier of Fancheng, if Xinye is gone, Cao Cao will attack Fancheng, then what should be done?" Wang Baoyu asked again.

"This is also my trouble, Fancheng is a newly built city, the city walls are not strong enough, the moat is not wide and deep enough, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is not a place to live for a long time." Zhuge Liang frowned.

"Isn't that why we're moving our family?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"That's how it should be!"

"It's not easy to drag your family."

"Hey, the lord is benevolent, how can he leave the people in the city lightly, this is also a helpless move." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "If you can capture Xiangyang, you can rely on the solidity of Xiangyang to compete with Cao Cao." ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy, right?" Wang Baoyu said.

"There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang, and we only have tens of thousands, if Cai Mao resists to the death, I am afraid that I will not be able to take it for more than a month, and then I will be burdened by it." Zhuge Liang was also worried.

"Sir, you've been talking for a long time, but there's still no good way!" Wang Baoyu said anxiously.

"I thought about it, although Xiangyang is difficult to attack, but it must be tried, if it can't be captured for a while, then return to Jiangling, Jiangling has abundant materials and can hold on." Zhuge Liang said.

"Is it easy to take Gangneung?"

"Jiangling's current guards Deng Yi and Liu Xian, following the eldest son Liu Qi, will inevitably let our army enter the city, not to mention that the lord has already repaired Liu Qi and promised to help him retake Jingzhou and make him the lord of Jingzhou." Zhuge Liang said.

"Did Liu Qi reply to the letter?"

"I haven't received it yet, but Jingzhou is sick for Liu Qi, how can he give up lightly, and he will receive Liu Qi's reply in a few days."

Looking at Zhuge Liang, who was clear in thinking and calm and calm, he spared a big circle, Wang Baoyu was a little confused, and asked the first topic: "Since Mr. has analyzed the pros and cons thoroughly, what else can I help?" ”

"Baoyu, since you obtained the true inheritance of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, your intelligence is different from ordinary people, and you often have a strategy for the overall situation." Zhuge Liang first praised Wang Baoyu, and then said: "I hope you can help me plan, how can I hold Cao Jun for a while and a half, and fight for more time to attack Xiangyang, then the odds are great!" ”

Wang Baoyu recalled what he saw in the book, and blurted out: "Sir, this is very simple!" You have to attack with fire! ”

"No, what I said, you didn't even hear it?" Zhuge Liang had a hint of displeasure on his face.

"Hehe, it's not about burning Cao Cao, it's about burning Xinye City."

Zhuge Liang stood up in shock, looked at Wang Baoyu incredulously and said: "The military aircraft is a big event, you are not allowed to laugh nonsense!" ”

"Do you think I'm joking? If you don't believe me, forget it. Wang Baoyu put his hands behind his back, a look of love or disbelief.

"But Xinye has poured many years of hard work into the lord, even if there are many benefits, the lord may not agree."

"You didn't ask him, how do you know he's going to disagree?"

"This ......"

Zhuge Liang choked, last time I listened to Wang Baoyu's opinion, Zhuge Liang was very successful in burning Bowangpo, which can be called a classic in strategy and tactics, but in addition to the pity that Xinye City was burned, its environment is very different from Bowangpo.

Bowangpo is a ditch between two mountains, and Xinye City is an open place, Heilong Mountain in the east, last time in the earthquake was half short, and even lost the role of a natural barrier, although the hidden mountain in the north is high, but the distance is far away, a few hills nearby, not into the climate at all, Zhuge Liang can't figure it out, how can he realize that a city is burned?

"Baoyu, come and tell me how to burn Xinye?" Zhuge Liang took out the map again and asked Wang Baoyu to come over and explain.

For this incident, Wang Baoyu also remembered it in a daze, looked at the map for a long time, and didn't understand it, so he could only prevaricate: "This is not simple, after the people in the city evacuate, fill it with firewood, and when the time comes, just put rockets inside from the Black Dragon Mountain outside." ”

Zhuge Liang thought that he would hear some earth-shattering plan, and when he heard Wang Baoyu say this, he immediately frowned and said: "I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, Cao Jun will inevitably be wary when he sees a large amount of firewood and grass, how can he be defeated?" ”

Wang Baoyu was a little dumbfounded, yes, if things are dry today, Cao Bing is not a fool, if there is firewood and grass everywhere, how can he not be vigilant? I'm afraid that even a fool will be shocked.

For a while, Wang Baoyu made a difficulty, but the big words have already been said, and if he doesn't say a good way, won't it become a big fool? Wasted the reputation of the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang's beloved apprentice?

Wang Baoyu turned his mind and said, "Sir, in addition to firewood and grass, there is also oil to burn, so prepare more oil." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head again and said: "It's even more vain, the people's lamp oil is still saved, and they sleep when it's dark, how can they have more oil available?" ”

Ordinary people only eat two meals a day, Wang Baoyu always thought that they went to bed early because of hunger, but he didn't expect that saving lamp oil was also one of the important reasons.

If this doesn't work, it really stumped Wang Baoyu all of a sudden, and he can't invent gunpowder now, right? If Wang Baoyu had that ability, he would have even built a machine gun cannon in this kung fu, so he was not invincible?

couldn't think of a good way for a while, Wang Baoyu had to spread his hands apologetically and said: "Sir, I don't have a trick, I didn't say anything about the burning of Xinye just now." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly, waved his hand to let Wang Baoyu get busy, and continued to think about the best strategy against the enemy. Although Wang Baoyu burned Xinye's mention yì, and did not say one, two, three, but also inspired Zhuge Liang, rather than leaving a city and cheapening Cao Cao, it is really better to burn it all away, if Liu Bei is persuaded from this aspect, maybe he will agree with this.

Although the fighting had not yet begun, a tense atmosphere filled the entire city, and Huang Yueying began to arrange for servants to pack up their things and prepare for the evacuation.

The fire of Xinye failed, Wang Baoyu was very depressed, so he wandered around the street with his hands behind his back, and by the way, he bought some good fabrics for Guoguo, and made two baby clothes.

Walking on the street, a soldier on horseback hurriedly rushed to this side, dressed as a messenger, when the soldier passed by Wang Baoyu's side, a strange smell came, but he couldn't help but be stunned.
