Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Burning of Quewei Slope

As the name suggests, the magpie tail slope resembles a bird's tail. On the north side is a big entrance, and the road narrows the further you go in. This is only because the slopes on both sides stretch out in a figure-eight shape. The terrain in the south, the slopes are not high, but the forests are lush, and it is just approaching late autumn, and some of the artemisia grass has turned a little yellow, and the mountains are all over the country, and even a little spark may develop into a monstrous fire.

Li Hui and the others sat on the top of the slope, and they didn't want to go back and be ridiculed by Zhuge Liang and them. Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Hui had no intention of leaving. Wen Chou urged: Boss, shouldn't we find a place to rest, it's not okay to sleep here on such a cold day!

Hush! Li Hui made a gesture of silence. Several people hurriedly sold themselves in the wild grass. In the distance, a group of soldiers was hurrying towards this direction.

What for? Wen Chou asked in a low voice.

Ma Jian said: It seems to be from Xinye, it should be Liu Bei's troops!

What are they doing here? Wen Chou asked again.

Have the ability to ask them to go! So much nonsense! Li Hui said coldly.

The group of soldiers walked very fast, and no one carried a large bundle of firewood and grass on their shoulders. The leaders were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the two came to a fork in the road. Guan Yu said: Third brother, be more careful, if you don't work, withdraw your troops immediately, you can remember!

Zhang Fei nodded: Second brother don't worry, I don't know if the doll is accurate, if not, I don't want to let go of my 'sex' life in vain!

Guan Yu said: Big brother actually believes his words, let's try it too, remember, don't attack!

Got it! Brother be careful, too! Zhang Fei left, and the two of them each led a team of people to walk on two forks in the road.

Wen Chou couldn't bear it: What are they doing? Is it y to open up the wasteland and farm? This Cao's '' army will come soon, and at this time it is still open up, and Liu Bei will be able to figure it out!

Guo Jia shook his head: I just received information this morning that Cao 'Cao' sent generals Cao Hong and Li Dian to lead 30,000 troops to prepare a sneak attack on Xinye.

That's all there is to it? Wen Chou said disdainfully: You have also seen that Guan Yu and Zhang Feiman did not have 5,000 men and horses, and they still wanted to fight 30,000 Cao troops?

Ma Jian shook his head: Fighting a war is not necessarily the more people and horses, the better, and the wisdom can be worth 100,000 male soldiers!

It was already dark, and not a single soldier appeared. Li Hui and the others were lying on the dirt slope in this late autumn season. The gentle northwest wind blew, and a stream of cold air penetrated through the clothes, penetrating the bone marrow. Guo Jia shuddered involuntarily. Li Hui took off his cloak, covered Guo Jia on his body, and ordered: Come here, let's squeeze and get warmer!

Guo Jia didn't say anything, wrapped Li Hui's cloak on his body, and squeezed towards Li Hui's side. I couldn't see anything until it was already dark. Wen Chou pointed to the front and said: Here it is, here it is!

Several people craned their necks. Just on the opposite side of the road, a fiery dragon slowly moved in this direction. The line was very long, judging by the number of torches, there were tens of thousands, and at the back of the line there were baggage. In front of the unwilling, a few torches that swayed violently from side to side ran quickly to this side.

Sure enough, it came! Li Huidao: Zhuge Liang doesn't know what strategy he used? There are several roads from Xinye in Runan Road, and Cao Hong and Li Dian really took this one.

As he spoke, the torches at the front of the fire dragon quickly ran in front of Li Hui and the others. It turned out to be Liu Bei, Li Hui immediately understood, it turned out that this bait was Liu Bei, no wonder Cao Hong and Li Dian would be so easily fooled. Liu Bei led hundreds of defeated soldiers, passed through the valley mouth, quickly extinguished the torches in his hands, and ran to a small dirt slope next to him to hide.

The long fiery dragon followed. Cao Hong took the lead and stood at the mouth of the valley: Damn it!

It shouldn't have gone far! If Liu Bei can be caught, Xinye will be self-defeating! Li Dian said excitedly.

Brothers, search well, you can't let go of a single grass and tree! Cao Hong immediately ordered. The soldiers immediately divided into several groups and began to search all over the mountains.

Call! A southwest wind blew up in an instant, blowing the flames on Cao Jun's torches to his face, and several guys were almost burned in the face. Li Dian said loudly: Be careful, this place is full of dry grass, and no one can run away if you light one place!

Cao Jun's brigade arrived one after another. The valley mouth, which was originally quite spacious, was tightly blocked by its own baggage. Suddenly, Cao Hong shouted: Not good! Evacuate!

Li Dian hurriedly asked: What's the matter, General?

Cao Hongdao: \u201 Our army is all here, if Liu Bei sets fire, won't our entire army be wiped out?

Li Dian glanced around, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat, and at the same time let people pay attention to see if anyone set fire. It is easy for tens of thousands of troops to come in, but it is difficult to get out. A large number of baggage was thrown on the road, chasing Liu Bei for a day, don't carry the people in the heavy camp, even the livestock are tired. Cao Hong and Li Dian's anxious group turned.

Checkmate! There's a fire over there! One of the soldiers shouted.

A patch of dead grass on the east side of Quewei Slope burned first. Under the action of the wind, it quickly began to spread. Moving quickly towards Cao Jun, followed by the woods to the west. The fire on both sides began, and the soldiers of the Cao army began to 'mess', no matter how Cao Hong and Li Dian restrained them, it was useless.

Li Dian said loudly: General Cao, now we can only rush out of the valley, maybe there is still a little hope!

The two led their own guards as the lead team and went straight to Taniguchi. Liu Bei's hundreds of remnants appeared. These hundreds of people changed from the lazy appearance of just now, with shield soldiers in front, pikemen in the center, and archers in the back. Although there were only a few hundred people, they blocked Cao Hong and Li Dian's several crazy attacks.

Cao Jun's baggage caught fire first, and the sound of people shouting and neighing came and went. One by one, the burning living people rolled to the side of the road and set fire to new weeds. In the face of such an opponent, no matter how 'elite' Cao Jun is, he is powerless. There's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to hide. The monstrous fire, even Li Hui and the others, who were hiding a few hundred steps away, felt their cheeks dry, not to mention those Cao Jun who were surrounded by the fire.

No matter how hard Cao Hong and Li Dian tried, they just couldn't break through Liu Bei's battle formation. Li Dian's anxious regiment turned: General? What to do? Is it that you are going to be burned here today?

Cao Hong unloaded his long knife: the brothers were left to be burned to death, and if they fought hard, they would also pull him on his back before they died! Kill!

Wen Chou got up with a snort and rushed down. Li Hui grabbed his 'legs': Come back! It's not time yet!

Wen Chou said: Liu Bei's wretched scumbag will only hide, go down and help him solve those two stupid people!

Help Liu Bei? Li Hui smiled: Listen well, and go down to rescue Cao Hong and Li Dian in a while!
