Chapter 260: Burning the company camp

Just as Lu Xun got the news.

The Shu army went on an expedition, the supply was difficult, and the Wu State could not fight quickly, coupled with the hot weather, the morale of the generals in the army gradually lost and their morale was low. In order to alleviate the scorching heat of the soldiers, Liu Bei ordered the Shu army to camp in the woods to escape the heat.

This time, Zhuge Liang did not accompany him.

Before sending troops on the expedition, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang quarreled over this matter.

Zhuge Liang did not agree with Liu Bei to send troops, but Liu Bei couldn't let go of Guan Yu's death at the hands of Wu Guo at all.

Guan Yu's death made him lose his balance on the overall situation of the whole world. Regardless of Zhuge Liang's opposition, Liu Bei insisted on going his own way and came here with a large army.

At this moment, he was still angry about Zhuge Liang's behavior.

Not far away, the accompanying military advisor hesitated to step forward. Liu Bei has been in a bad mood lately. After some hesitation, he walked over slowly.

"Lord, since we came here, Lu Xun has avoided fighting, maybe he is thinking about how to dampen our spirit, and we must guard against it. And being stationed in this forest is not a long-term solution after all. We need to find another, safer campsite. ”

The military advisor's persuasion was useless, but only aroused Liu Bei's dissatisfaction.

Liu Bei scolded loudly, "Since you know the reason why Lu Xun avoided fighting, why don't you immediately think of countermeasures?" Secondly, unless you can solve the scorching heat of the recent days and find another safe and favorable terrain to set up camp, don't mention this matter again, understand?"

"But... However, if we stay here, we may fall into the trap of Lu Xun. Please think twice. ”

Liu Bei snorted coldly and slammed the tea bowl in his hand to the ground.

His anger shocked the military advisor and made him dare not speak again.

What the accompanying military advisor told Liu Bei just now was his intuition. But his talent is not as good as Zhuge Liang, and it is impossible to come up with a good countermeasure in such a short period of time. He told Liu Bei what he remembered, but he still couldn't persuade him.

In just a few days, Wu's army had already dug the ditch that blocked it. After that, Lu Xun ordered people to prepare flammable hay around, and when he gave the order, Qin Lang and Zixuan would quickly take torches and light the fire.

At night, a suitable wind direction appeared, and Qin Lang and Zixuan moved. They lit the fire very quickly, and after a while, all the hay laid out by Lu Xun's soldiers was ignited.

The dry weather, the right wind direction, the raging fire spread extremely quickly in the woods, and soon burned to Liu Bei's military camp.

When the officers and soldiers in the army found the fire in the distance, they immediately reported it to Liu Bei.

"Lord, lord, no, there is a fire in the woods ahead. ”

"What!"

Liu Bei immediately walked out of the military tent, and sure enough, the flames in the sky were spreading towards them because of this. The previous soldier's fears happened to be fulfilled at this time. Everything happened too fast.

"Quick, pass the order, all the soldiers leave lightly, the grain, grass and horses are the first to move quickly, there must be no loss, move quickly!"

Liu Bei told the army to leave immediately before the fire spread to them.

For a time, the soldiers of the army began to be confused. Even if there is a command, in the face of such a big fire, anyone is afraid in their hearts.

It was still early when they discovered the fire, and Liu Bei felt that there was plenty of time for his troops to move.

Unfortunately, he forgot about the dryness of the weather and the wind, which contributed to the speed of the spread of the fire.

The military camp stationed in the same place was engulfed in flames not long after it was contaminated, and those soldiers who did not have time to leave were also drowned in the raging fire.

The military advisor left with Liu Bei first, and after reaching a high place, he immediately ordered the soldiers around him to dig out a ravine and intercept the fire.

In order to survive, everyone worked together, and the soldiers who arrived later also participated.

Time was pressing, but the fire was finally intercepted.

It's just that at this time, the Shu army was exhausted, and the mood was still not calm.

This fire caused Liu Bei's army to suffer heavy losses.

The fire burned all night before it stopped.

Lu Xun led the army to the place where Liu Bei was stationed, and saw the mess all over the ground, as well as a charred corpse, Rao is those who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and when he saw it, his brows were furrowed tightly.

Thinking of Liu Bei's face at the moment, Lu Xun felt better. Liu Bei's remaining army was no longer a threat to Wu State. Liu Bei didn't sleep all night, and he had been commanding and reorganizing the army, counting the number of people, grain and grass, and other things.

Last night, Liu Bei let the grain and grass go first, so as to avoid greater losses. But when the military advisor reported the number of troops who had been counted, Liu Bei felt dizzy.

The huge army he brought with him experienced a fire, and in an instant, most of it was lost.

How could Liu Bei not be heartbroken?

"Lord, our Shu army has suffered heavy losses, and if it continues to attack, even if it wins, it will be a residual victory. I also hope that the lord will not lose the big because of the small. "The military advisor is reminding Liu Bei at this moment that he must not affect the overall situation in the future because of the death of Guan Yu and others.

A day ago, Liu Bei couldn't listen to these words at all. But now, he had to listen. It's just that Guan Yu's revenge has not been avenged, so he is really unwilling to withdraw his troops at this time.

Liu Bei summoned the two grandmasters who accompanied the army and ordered them to go to the military camp of Wu State immediately and kill Lu Xun.

Qin Lang and Zixuan had been waiting in the barracks for a long time. Looking at the soldiers who surrounded them, the two grandmasters had no fear. But the moment Qin Lang and Zixuan appeared, their faces were cloudy and wary.

I had never heard of a grandmaster in the army of Wu Guo, but I met two of them as soon as I came today, and looking at their appearance, it seemed that they had been waiting for the two for a long time.

"Today, we have been ordered by the lord to take Lu Xun's head, and those who have nothing to do with it, please leave quickly. ”

The two of them did not dare to rush forward.

Although the relationship between Qin Lang and Wu is not very good, but Lu Xun is the governor of Wu State, Qin Lang promised Sun Quan to assist Wu State and drive away the Shu army, of course, he will not let them succeed. What's more, Lu Xun and Changying are old acquaintances, and they are kind to Changying, so it is impossible for him to let it go.

"If you want to take Lu Xun's head, it depends on whether you have the ability or not. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Lang turned into a dragon and stared at them coldly.

The bursts of killing intent emanating from his body made the two of them palpitate.

also stepped into the grandmaster level, so that the two of them had to be cautious, at this time incarnated as a dragon, even if the two of them were together, they might not be pleased.

Gritting their teeth, the two men retreated and left the place.

Immediately afterward, the excited roars of the soldiers sounded in the barracks. Everyone unanimously threw Qin Lang, who had recovered his human form, into the sky.

Afterwards, Lu Xun also expressed his gratitude to Qin Lang.
