Chapter 14: The Burning of the New Wild
"General Xu, what you found out is actually right, I was born in a peasant family, but just yesterday after falling off the horse, I dreamed of a white-bearded old man with fairy wind bones, the old man said that I was surprised by bones, and I was a rare talent, so I gave me spicy strips, and taught me a lot of things, so that I could help Prime Minister Cao Cheng sweep away the troubled times and save the common people......" Qin Huang came to Xu Chu's side and said mysteriously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although Xu Chu has a straightforward personality and is not anxious, it does not mean that he is stupid, he doesn't believe what Qin Huang said, and looks at Qin Huang with an expression that you are particularly teasing me.
However, although he didn't believe it, thinking of Qin Huang's performance today, he didn't ask about it, but just said: "That's it, I didn't look like a spy in the future, so I won't ask you." But yesterday I had someone tell the prime minister with spicy strips, and the prime minister was very curious about you, and said that he would summon you when he arrived with the army, and you should tell him yourself when the time comes!"
After speaking, Xu Chu looked at Xinye City in the distance, squinted his eyes and said, "Since you have come to the outside of Xinye City, let's go and explore!" Come with me! ”
After that, Xu Chu turned over and got on the horse again, and rushed towards Xinye City first.
Qin Huang was helpless, so he could only get on the horse with those soldiers and follow Xu Chu closely.
Soon, when he came to Xinye City, Xu Chu watched the city gate open, and he was a little stunned for a while.
"This ...... What's going on? Why are the gates closed? Isn't Liu Bei afraid that General Ben will lead the army to seize the door? Or did he have an ambush in the city? Xu Chu pointed to the city gate and asked suspiciously.
Of course Qin Huang knew what was going on, but he didn't know what was going on, and besides, he had other plans-anyway, the current Xinye City was an empty city, and there wasn't even a living person, so Qin Huang didn't mind showing it in front of Xu Chu at all.
With a plan in his heart, Qin Huang had a generous expression on his face, and said to Xu Chu: "General, don't you know if you send some people in to investigate?" I'm willing to go in and find my way! ”
Qin Huang wanted to show it and brush up on Xu Chu's good feelings, but who knew that Xu Chu just glanced at him, and shook his head directly: "You can't do it, the prime minister has already ordered him to come down, I want to see you, if you die, how can I have a relationship with the prime minister?" ”
After speaking, Xu Chu ordered a few people and asked them to go into the city to investigate. In just a quarter of an hour, the people who entered the city to investigate reported one after another, and not a single living person in Xinye City was found!
Xu Chu was not at ease, so he sent several groups of people into the city to investigate, and the results were naturally the same.
Xu Chu relieved himself at this time, and inexplicably led Qin Huang and a thousand cavalry into Xinye City.
Walking into Xinye City, Qin Huang saw that Xinye City was in a mess, with no people and animals, which was what he expected. What really caught his eye was some dry firewood and grass piled up in the streets and alleys, these things, as long as they were poured with fire oil and a little fire, the water could not be extinguished!
Want to set fire to Shinno? Hehe......
Qin Huang sneered in his heart.
"Sent a message to General Cao Ren, saying that Liu Thief had coerced the people, abandoned Xinye and fled, according to the footprints left, he should go to Fancheng! At present, our vanguard army has occupied Xinye City! Standing in the Xinyecheng County Ya, Xu Chu ordered.
The messenger took the order and left, and Xu Chu ordered: "Recall the other two soldiers and horses, no need to pursue Liu Thief's army!" Let the rest of the soldiers hurry up and rest, bury the pot in the firehead camp to make food, and scatter more sentinels, so that Liu Thief can't take advantage of the loophole! ”
After giving the order, Xu Chu waved away the rest of the people, pulled Qin Huang into the county office and sat down, and then stared at Qin Huang with a pair of copper bell big eyes.
"I wonder what the general is looking for me?" Qin Huang was a little uncomfortable by Xu Chu and asked.
Xu Chu looked away at this time, and then said: "I think something is wrong, since Liu Thief wants to give up Xinye, why do you need to stop us at Queweipo?" Is he fed? Qin boy, what do you think? ”
Qin Huang smiled and replied, "General, you forgot, it was not only the army that followed Liu Thief, but also the people of Xinye City!" If he hadn't stopped us for a while, how would the people of Shinno Castle have escaped? ”
Xu Chu suddenly patted his head: "I see!" ”
"But ......," Qin Huang said suddenly.
"But what?" Xu Chu hurriedly asked, as if he regarded Qin Huang as a 'strategist' who could give him ideas.
"General, I don't know if you have noticed, there is something strange in this new no city!" Qin Huang said pointedly.
Xu Chu was stunned, "Weird? Where is the weirdness? ”
Qin Huang was also stunned, and said in surprise: "General, haven't you found out?" Many parts of the city are full of dry wood and hay! ”
Xu Chu frowned, "What's so strange about there being dry firewood piled up in the city?" Which family doesn't use firewood to cook? ”
Qin Huang shook his head and said, "It's not strange that the people's homes have dry firewood, but the strange thing is that not only the people's homes have it, but there are also piles of dry firewood in many corners of the city!" Moreover, I've seen it before, some of the dry wood has been drenched with fire oil! But because these dry firewood are so ordinary, and they are placed in front of us in the open, so that no one notices, if I hadn't stumbled upon it, I'm afraid it would have ......."
Xu Chu understood this time, stood up with a 'rub', and asked, "You mean that Liu Bei is secretly making trouble in the city?" Want a fire attack? ”
Qin Huang nodded and said, "Very likely!" And eighty percent was Zhuge Liang's idea, the last time General Xiahou came to attack, wasn't he burned down by him in Bowangpo? He's probably doing it again! After all, water and fire are ruthless, this fire is bound to sweep the whole city of Xinye, when the time comes, our whole army is panicked, they are taking advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, general, your strength may be able to escape this catastrophe, but ordinary soldiers like us will definitely die! ”
"Damn Zhuge Villager, Ben will never let him go!" Xu Chu scolded angrily, frowned, and paced back and forth in the county hall with his hands behind his back.
"Ben is going to have someone deal with the dry firewood!" Xu Chu stopped and said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head again: "No, doing that will inevitably startle the snake, you have to think of a good way to pit that Zhuge villager once!" But how? ”
Xu Chu didn't come up with a good way to think about it, and after a while, he suddenly saw Qin Huang with a calm expression on the side, and his eyes lit up and asked, "Qin boy, do you have a way?" ”
Seeing Xu Chu asking for a plan for himself, Qin Huang smiled slightly, and said very calmly: "General, don't worry, now that we are prepared, Zhuge Liang's conspiracy will not succeed, and now we are thinking about nothing more than how to let that Zhuge Liang plant a heel!" ”
"Oh, don't ink it! Say, how? Xu Chu interrupted impatiently.
At this moment, Zhao Meng's voice sounded outside the door: "General, General Cao Ren and General Cao Hong have arrived outside the city!" ”
