In the mountain of Dengyun, the night is already dark, about two watches.

One tent after another, like mushrooms one after another, are scattered in the mountains and forests.

Some of the mushrooms are silent, and some of them are about lit braziers, which emit a faint clear light, giving the mountain forest a different kind of beauty.

Cao Cao carried a short axe in his hand and patrolled the camp, but when he saw the bright posts and secret posts, they were distinct, and he couldn't help nodding secretly.

Back in the account, a bonfire, Qin Ming, Deng Fei, Xiang Chong, Li Gon, and Niu Gao got up and said, "Brother is back." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand to let a few people sit down, and said with a smile: "Qin Ming has been training on Shi'er Mountain, and the results have been seen. ”

Qin Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you brother for the compliment." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "It's hard to hurry, I'll rest for a night today, and I'll go to the state with me tomorrow." ”

Qin Ming wanted to speak and stopped.

When Cao Cao saw it, he smiled and said, "Brother, if there is something, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Qin Ming hesitated: "It's not a big deal, I just think that Zong Ze, is the eldest brother ......?"

"You mean, do I attach too much importance to Zong Ze?" Cao Cao knew what he meant.

Qin Ming nodded slightly: "That guy has been a civil official all his life, and he has never led soldiers and horses, so I'm afraid he has never even entered the military camp." Even if he has practiced some martial arts, his ability to unify the army does not depend on his martial arts. ”

Cao Cao was about to rest, but he was provoked to talk about sex by his words, sat up straight and said, "Tell a story!" It was the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Dong Zhuo of Xiliang was in turmoil, and the princes of the Eighteenth Road met to discuss the national thieves. Dong Zhuo ordered the general Huaxiong to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and that Huaxiong had the courage of ten thousand people, with a single sword, and even beheaded many fierce generals of the princes, killing the allied soldiers and everyone was terrified. At that moment, a horse archer stepped forward and asked for battle. Many princes thought that his status was low, which was detrimental to his majesty, and they reprimanded him one after another, but it was Cao Gong Mengde who advocated it, gave him a pair of armor to cover his heart, and poured hot wine to strengthen his appearance. ”

It's not easy to listen to stories these days, and a few people suddenly listened to it, Deng Fei shouted: "What a Cao Gong, it's extravagant." The so-called recognition of heroes and valuing heroes, how can no one serve them? Qin Ming said: "Although his courage is commendable, after all, he is an archer, and the enemy is the general of Xiliang?" Niu Gao said: "Don't underestimate the horse archer, maybe he has extraordinary archery skills, and he plotted against the enemy general?" ”

Cao Cao looked at the firelight and showed a smile of remembrance: "That person was not surprised, and said lightly: Thank you Cao Gong for giving you wine, pour the wine, and wait for me to kill Huaxiong, and drink it when I come back." ”

The five of them praised in unison: "What a tough guy!" ”

Qin Ming rubbed his hands nervously: "I hope this person doesn't die!" With such pride, will there be no future when there will be no future? ”

Cao Cao said: "The man out of the tent, on the horse and with a knife, to fight Huaxiong, a group of princes in the tent, only to hear the drum in front of the battle to shake, the sergeants shouted like a tide, it was like the earth fell into the sky, all of them changed color, just about to go out of the tent to see why, the curtain was lifted, the horse archer came in, threw the head of Huaxiong on the ground, looked at the seat, did not say a word, took the wine and drank, the wine is still warm. ”

Qin Ming was disgraced and said, "What a strange man!" is at the end of the year, and he does not reduce the liver and gallbladder of heroes, but Qin underestimated the hero! ”

Niu Gao said with a smile: "Good majesty, good majesty." As he spoke, his eyes narrowed and his chin raised, obviously imitating someone else's "sitting down", Xiang Chong said angrily: "If you look at me with your nostrils again, I will hit your nostrils." ”

Deng Fei said with envy on his face: "This person is really not an ordinary person, he has to be treated well by Cao Gong, I expect him to serve Cao Gong and fight for him." ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be beautiful?" Wouldn't you be happy? It's a pity that the man had already voted for the Ming Lord at that time, and although his lord was a subordinate, he was also a hero, and that man was also loyal. In fact, everyone knows that it is Hanshou Pavilion Hou Guan Yu Guan Yun Changye. ”

Qin Ming shouted: "Ah, it turned out to be him, no wonder the general is like a bag to get something." ”

Cao Cao said: "Huaxiong and the princes underestimated a horse archer at the beginning, and I will wait for today, don't underestimate Zong Ze because he is a civil official." There are countless heroes in this world, and you can't guess about it. ”

Qin Ming hugged his fists and said: "Brother's words are golden and jade words, and my brother has written them down." ”

Cao Cao smiled and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a shout outside: "Go to the water, go to the water." ”

Everyone Huo Ran got up and rushed out of the tent to take a look, but saw that the fire was raging on the southeast and north sides, and most of the mountains were burning. It's clear that someone set fire to the mountain!

Cao Cao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said in his heart that the eighty-year-old mother was a child, and he was ashamed to tell the others not to underestimate Zong Ze, but I didn't expect that it was I who underestimated him. How can a man like me, who has fought an old war, not know the reason for the speed of the soldiers? Since he knew that Zong Ze saw the clues, he shouldn't be lucky, so why wait for someone to come to Qi and compete with him slowly? When there were three or four hundred people before, it was time to grab Dengzhou with one blow!

Speaking of which, I still slacked off in my heart, and I actually started the idea of playing games and taking school exams in the life and death of the soldiers, but now I was caught off guard by others, and this matter should be taken as a lesson.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help nodding secretly: This Zong Ze is really good, and he burned Dengyun Mountain with a shot, this kind of trick is not something that ordinary people dare to use. However, I am afraid that it is really the first time to go into battle, and my heart is not ruthless enough, otherwise even the west will be burned directly, and even if Cao Cao's hundreds of people escape, they will inevitably lose most of them.

Immediately shouted: "Qin Ming, immediately organize the army and kill it from a place without fire!" ”

Qin Ming shouted: "Set fire on three sides, only one side fails, there will be ambushes!" ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Don't I know? But now it's the west wind, and the fire is rolling in, and there is no way to survive? Since he lost the first move, he had to fight for a life in a desperate situation! ”

The four generals nodded and hurried to reorganize the army and horses.

Fortunately, the number of people was only 1,000, and they had always been trained and familiarized, but the camp was not bombed, and before the fire reached the front of the camp, they were already lined up.

Qin Ming waved his mace and said, "Elder brother is in charge of the Chinese army, and the younger brother will fight a way out first." ”

Cao Cao lost the upper hand at the moment, but he was extremely calm, shook his head and said: "If you charge on horseback, you will fall for tricks!" Dengzhou folded Sun Li and a thousand military horses first, how much can there be? I expected that the old man would rely on the popularity of the people and would definitely recruit the villagers. The rabble is unbearable, and he will use a large number of traps and stumbling ropes to prevent my assault, and cooperate with bows and arrows to kill the enemy. Thou shalt teach the people and gather the horses in the rear, and the front army will fight on foot and break through the siege. ”

Qin Ming suddenly woke up and said, "What my brother said is true! "I shudder when I think about the scene of stumbling and trapping in the dark.

jumped off the horse at the moment, ordered dozens of people to be distributed left and right, and swept left and right with long weapons, and opened the way first.

Cao Cao sighed and said: "It's a pity that the barbarian soldiers led by Xiang Chong and Li Gon have only been trained to two hundred, and when they will shoot random arrows, they will be killed and wounded." ”

Deng Fei smiled mysteriously when he heard this: "But it's a coincidence, the younger brother loves to make chains, and since he followed Brother Qin Ming to train in Shi'er Mountain, he once thought of a way, if he really uses a bow and arrow to deceive people, and look at the means." ”

Perhaps it was because of the suddenness of the troops, the preparation was not enough, but there was no ambush in the forest, everyone walked three or four miles, and they were about to go out of the dense forest, only to see the bright lights in the open area ahead, full of lanterns and torches, about two thousand people stood in several columns, in front were all officers and soldiers in armor, about five or six hundred, and behind were the people and strong archers mobilized from outside the city.

Zong Ze rode a gray horse, held a spear, stood in front of the array, and shouted majestically: "Sure enough, I have bad intentions and brought many horses!" surnamed Wu, since you are a wolf and ambitious, don't blame the old man for being vicious and ruthless! ”

There is a division of teaching: use soldiers to the road as fast as a god, and do not wait for anyone to seize the opportunity. The three kingdoms of Mo Dao are all heroes. I knew that there were masters in the Great Song Dynasty.
