The whole night ended in the discussion between Empress Dowager Xiao and Murong Ke, and it was not until the early hours of the morning that Murong Ke returned to his big tent a little tired, and now he no longer knows what words to use to describe Empress Dowager Xiao, that woman can almost be said to have left a psychological shadow on Murong Ke.
And what he has to do is to conscientiously implement every military order of Xiao Xuan, Murong Ke understands that as long as he follows Empress Dowager Xiao's plan, those Han troops will be wiped out outside Chang'an City.
As for why Empress Dowager Xiao only asked Murong Ke to discuss the military? It's very simple, like Cao Cao, among those Wuhu leaders, she only looks down on Murong Ke.
Others, disgusted, disgusting, all in all, Empress Dowager Xiao didn't even bother to look at them, if it weren't for the overall situation today, she wouldn't have talked to those butchers.
At the same time that Murong Ke left the camp of the Liao army, in the camp of the Wei and Shu coalition forces, Yang Ye also yawned and left Cao Cao's camp tiredly.
Both sides are so confident, but it is unknown who killed the deer.
........
On the second day, there was still no large-scale battle between the two armies, only Yang Qilang and Jin Ma Chao, who took 5,000 iron horsemen out to call for battle, and after the two of them killed three Wuhu generals, they retreated to the camp.
But at midnight on this day, the battle broke out.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Huang Xiaowei was sleeping comfortably in his tent with Dongfang Qing and Xiao Wan'er in his arms, and suddenly, there was a sound of fighting outside the tent, Huang Xiaowei suddenly woke up, and subconsciously wanted to run away with his wife and children when he was done.
But after thinking about it carefully, Huang Xiaowei calmed down, where is he now? The camp of the Wei and Shu coalition forces!
Although the Wuhu and Liao soldiers are strong and strong, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and the Yang generals are not vegetarians, well, be calm, be calm, it's not too late to run away if the situation is wrong.
After letting Dongfang Qing stay in the tent to take care of Xiao Wan'er, Huang Xiaowei hurriedly rushed out.
Huang Xiaowei, who rushed out of his tent, only saw a famous Wuhu cavalry and an iron cavalry of the Liao army, led by several generals, rushed into the camp, slashed and slashed, and the rockets in his hands also kept shooting into the direction where the army placed grain and grass, and the fire burned in an instant.
Wei Shu hurriedly put out the fire, but the fire was too big to be extinguished, and the pungent smell of the grain and grass burning filled every corner of the air.
Huang Xiaowei chuckled in his heart, what was the fire burning, but he knew it clearly, there were 700,000 loads of grain and grass piled up there, if it was all burned, how would the battle be fought?
Looking at the burning Huang Xiaowei, who understood that Wuhu and the Liao army had sent someone to rob the camp, mother, I really know how to pick the time, and if I come in the middle of the night, I can't let people sleep well.
Huang Xiaowei hurriedly ran towards Cao Cao Liu Bei's camp tent and asked them to quickly think of a way, but as soon as he entered the tent, Huang Xiaowei saw Cao Cao Liu Bei plus Yang Ye, and the three old men were sitting together drinking tea slowly, and commented on the quality of the tea from time to time, and talked about what it was like to drink the best tea he had drunk back then, and did not pay attention to the fierce shouting outside the camp.
Huang Xiaowei was dumbfounded at the time, and then jumped to his feet and said, "Lao Liu, Lao Cao, what are you doing?" Everyone has hit the door, and do you know that the grain and grass are about to be burned clean! โ
Liu Bei said lightly: "Xiaowei, don't worry, we just want them to rob the camp and burn grain." โ
"Huh?" Huang Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to understand something: "You mean that you have already arranged an ambush, and then killed all those Wuhu people?" Huang Xiaowei nodded secretly and said, "Don't say that this plan is not bad." โ
Liu Bei shook his head honestly and said, "No, we didn't prepare anything, if they want to burn it, let them burn it." โ
Huang Xiaowei: "......."
"I said, can you stop selling it?"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Xiaowei, don't panic, the grain and grass have long been transferred by me, in addition to 50,000 quintals of real grain, the current grain and grass camp is just some hay." โ
Huang Xiaowei patted his little heart when he heard this, and said with a sigh of relief: "That's it, scare Lao Tzu." โ
Huang Xiaowei wanted to ask something, but Cao Cao drove him out directly and said, "Okay Xiaowei, you go back to sleep first, and you will understand my intentions in a few days." โ
Huang Xiaowei sighed, and he didn't bother to ask, anyway, even if Cao Cao explained it to him, it was enough for him to understand.
On this night, Murong Ke led 80,000 Xianbei cavalry, and Xiao Tzulin's 10,000 Liao army, plus all the Qiang cavalry who had just surrendered, to carry out a huge looting of the Wei Shu army and burning grain.
On the whole, Wuhu and Liaojun are relatively capable of handling affairs, and they are also very experienced, and there was almost no negligence in work during the entire robbery camp, which is worthy of being professionals who rob homes and houses.
And in the eyes of most of the foreign generals who came to rob the camp tonight, they burned all the grain and grass of the Wei and Shu coalition forces in one fell swoop, even though those enemy troops reacted quickly, but they only paid more than 10,000 corpses, and then got rid of the pursuing army and returned to the camp leisurely.
10,000 people exchanged all the grain and grass of the Wei-Shu coalition army, which is simply a sure win.
But in Murong Ke's opinion, burning the grain and grass of the Wei Shu coalition army in one fell swoop is just a fool's dream, and it will not exceed 200,000 quintals of grain and grass at most, but his calculation is completely inconsistent with the actual burned grain and grass.
This kind of thing is basically a relatively common offensive method, Cao Cao loved to use this trick back then, of course, he was also robbed by others.
And the reason why Cao Cao and Liu Bei allowed Murong Ke to burn their grain and grass tonight was not only because there was basically no grain and grass in the camp, but also to find a reason for the ambush in the future, so Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not tell his soldiers to improve their guards at all, what it is like in normal times, what it is like tonight, and he wants to show the most real side to Wuhu and the Liao army.
From this point, it can be seen that Cao Cao and Liu Bei had long known that the enemy army would come to rob the camp tonight.
Because it's inevitable.
According to Cao Cao's estimate, whether it is the soldiers of Wuhu or the Liao army, their grain and grass must not be too much, in case their side makes it clear that they want to fight a protracted war with them, the battle situation will be very unfavorable to Wuhu and the Liao army, so they will definitely target their own grain and grass.
Empress Dowager Xiao sent Murong Ke to rob the camp, and it was precisely for this consideration that they couldn't afford it!
Although Wu Zetian did not send troops to help in the war, he ordered all the people's cattle and sheep within a radius of several hundred miles to be moved into the nearby Xiongguan, and those who could not be moved would be burned, in short, not a grain of grain would be left for these Hu people.
Therefore, Wu Zetian's failure to send troops does not mean that she does not hate Wuhu.
Coincidentally, Wuhu sent 30,000 troops out this afternoon to plunder grain, and the result was ....... Only 20,000 came back, and they were severely taught a lesson by the defenders of Tongguan, if they hadn't run fast, the men and horses of Dasanguan would have arrived soon.
The combat effectiveness of Tang Jun's soldiers was actually very strong, that is, they encountered the equally fierce Wei and Shu armies plus the Qin army that swept through the six countries under the command of Qin Shi Huang, so they were defeated one after another, mainly because of the numerical disadvantage.
And Wu Zetian also issued an edict to those guards of Xiongguan, the army should not take the initiative to fight, just stick to the checkpoint, but if those Hu people dare to attack their people in the Tang Dynasty.......
Then fight to the death, fight to smoke!
.......
Due to the strong walls of the Tang Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xiao could no longer see a grain of grain, so she could only risk sending people to rob the camp, which can also be said to be a temptation.
But I didn't expect it to succeed, and I burned 200,000 quintals of grain....... Empress Dowager Xiao still believed Murong Ke's words, because she knew that Murong Ke was not the kind of person who falsely reported his military exploits, but this ...... It's a little too easy to succeed, isn't it?
After listening to Murong Ke's statement, Empress Dowager Xiao also believed that she had really burned so much grain.
Murong Ke thought that he had burned 200,000 because he had carefully observed the panicked behavior of the Wei Shu Coalition soldiers after their army rushed into the camp, as well as Guan Yu and Cao Ren who led the army to block it in time, and in the melee, they did not forget to send troops to focus on protecting the camp where the grain and grass were placed and the camp of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
Murong Ke was also worried that there would be an ambush before he came, but when he led people to rush into the camp, he saw that there was panic first, and then a tight and orderly counterattack, and that worry disappeared.
As for the amount of 200,000 quintals of grain and grass, he calculated it through the firelight, but Murong Ke didn't know that all this was set up by Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
On the third day, there was still no large-scale melee between the two sides, but at night, in order to determine whether yesterday's attack was successful, Empress Dowager Xiao asked Murong Ke to lead the army to rob the camp.
This time, Murong Ke just led the army to the camp tent of the Wei Shu army, and immediately the camp was brightly lit, and countless Wei soldiers and Shu soldiers with torches were killed, and the left and right wings of Murong Ke were also attacked by the Yang generals and the Great Wei Xiao cavalry, fortunately, the camp of the Wei Shu coalition army was in the plain and not in any dangerous place, Murong Ke left tens of thousands of corpses and fled in a hurry.
At this point, Empress Dowager Xiao was completely convinced that they really burned the grain and grass of the Wei and Shu coalition forces yesterday, otherwise the Wei and Shu coalition forces would not have arranged an ambush in advance in order to prevent themselves from robbing the camp again.
But now, Empress Dowager Xiao will not continue to do anything, even if she is powerful, all she can do at present is to wait, she is waiting for Yang Ye to lead the troops to leave the camp of the Wei Shu coalition army, waiting for the Wei Shu coalition army to start surrounding, and then she will consciously plunge into it.
After all, all the arrangements she made were based on the ambush set by Cao Cao and Yang Ye.
Moreover, she herself did not doubt the success of Murong Ke's robbery camp, but it didn't matter, as long as Yang Ye left the camp, then she could let those reinforcements reach the battlefield and compete for the winner.
In other words, the reason why Empress Dowager Xiao sent people to rob the camp was to put pressure on the Wei Shu coalition army and let them prepare the ambush as soon as possible.
Note that it's not that it can't be done, it's that it's not easy.
Because the reinforcements in Empress Dowager Xiao's mouth can come at any time, and the time to come depends on her.
Now she is unceremoniously speaking, she is the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao in the world, it is obvious that the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao is very good, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that the whole army of the Heavenly Dao will be pressed at the beginning, and then destroy the Wei Shu coalition army in one fell swoop.
And Empress Dowager Xiao knew that there were so many powerful reinforcements, but she just didn't let those reinforcements appear, terrible guy.
She wanted to find an opportunity, an opportunity to eat all the Han soldiers and horses in one fell swoop.
Empress Dowager Xiao is like a poisonous snake, lying in the grass, silently watching her prey, and when the time comes, she will come out to give her prey a fatal blow.
........
On the evening of the third day, the moon was dark and the wind was high, 120,000 Great Wei Xiao cavalry and 30,000 Shu cavalry waited for the day, under the leadership of Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, silently killed the alien camp on the south bank of the Wei River.
If you don't fight back after being beaten, is that still called Cao Mengde?
