"Then let's send people to search the mountains and forests first."

Yu Ban thought for a moment and proposed.

"It's good! Be careful. ”

Zhang He nodded.

Yu Ban immediately called several low-level generals and asked them to lead a team of men and horses into the jungle to search.

Sure enough, as Yu Ban and Zhang He were worried, it didn't take long for Sergeant Cao to find traces of Liu Bei's men and horses in the forest.

After a fierce battle, Cao's army successfully repelled them.

When cleaning the battlefield, flammable materials such as fire oil were also found.

This news was soon passed on to Cao Cao in the rear by Zhang He and Yu Ban.

"Zhuge Villager is not as powerful as he imagined."

Cao Cao's language was sarcastic,

"It's just a big win, and it's ridiculous to think about repeating the old tricks!"

"What my father said is extremely true, this time Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will definitely pay the price!"

Cao Pi hated the authentic.

"Zhongkang!"

Cao Cao shouted.

"The last general!"

Xu Chu arched his hand.

"Send someone to tell Wen Ze and Jun Yi to the two generals immediately, and let the two of them rush to Wancheng as soon as possible, so as not to let Liu Bei run away!"

"Whoa!"

Xu Chu took the order and left!

……

After repelling Liu Bei's army in ambush, Yu Ban and Zhang He were also relieved.

They ordered to speed up the march, and finally arrived at Wancheng before dusk.

However, unexpectedly, the gates of Wancheng were wide open, and there was no shadow of Liu Bei's army!

Yu Ban and Zhang He did not dare to enter the city as soon as possible, for fear of falling into Zhuge Liang's tricks.

But after some careful observation and sending scouts into the city to search, they were sure that Liu Bei abandoned the city with his army and fled!

"What? Liu Bei escaped? ”

Cao Cao was slightly stunned, a little disappointed, but soon relieved.

After all, Liu Bei is good at escaping, and it's not once or twice that he slips away!

"He's fast! Let's go into the city first! ”

Although this loss is not small, as long as Wancheng is recovered, Liu Bei cannot threaten Xu Du, it will be enough.

By this time it was already dark.

With Cao Cao's order, Cao's army began to slowly march towards Wancheng.

Guo Jia stood at the edge of the water, looking at Wancheng thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh and said,

"What is the advisor thinking?"

"Duke Wei, my subordinates don't think it's reasonable."

Guo Jia was puzzled,

"It took Liu Bei a lot of effort to take Wancheng, how could he let it out so easily?"

Without waiting for Cao Cao to answer, Cao Pi on the side smiled and said,

"What's this, it's just that the big-eared thief sees that my army is big and doesn't dare to stop it!"

"The subordinates also feel that Liu Bei's retreat is a little wrong."

Xun You said softly.

Wancheng is different from other county seats, it is the seat of Nanyang County, and it is the forefront of resisting Liu Biao.

Therefore, in the years after Zhang Xiu's surrender, Cao Cao ordered many repairs and reinforcements.

Liu Bei had just won the battle, and the morale of his 30,000 troops was at its peak.

If you defend the city, even if Cao Cao has an army of 100,000, don't think about taking it so easily.

Hearing them say this, Cao Cao also felt that this matter was strange.

"It's a pity, if the eldest brother is here, he will definitely know Liu Bei's thoughts."

Xu Chu shook his head and said.

"Third brother, no one will let you be dumb if you don't speak!"

Dian Wei glared at Xu Chu.

Unlike Xu Chu, he naturally knew the delicate relationship between Yang Ling and Cao Cao.

For Xu Chu rashly mentioning Yang Ling, Cao Cao was not angry.

He even sighed secretly in his heart.

As Xu Chu said, if Ziyi was here, he would definitely be able to figure out Liu Bei's intentions.

It's just a pity that for Cao Pi, I had to suppress him!

Hearing Xu Chu mention Yang Ling, Guo Jia suddenly remembered Yang Ling's advice before leaving, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind!

"Duke Wei, I know Liu Bei's intentions!"

He lost his voice,

"Please also ask Duke Wei to stop the army quickly, don't let them enter the city again!"

"Why is that?"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with a stunned expression.

"Before leaving, Ziyi specially reminded me that Zhuge Liang likes to attack with fire!"

Guo Jia explained.

"So what? Didn't the two generals Wen Ze and Jun Yi have already repelled Liu Bei's army that was preparing to burn halfway? ”

Cao Pi smiled disappreciatively.

"Having said that, who can be sure that Zhuge Liang is not playing tricks?!"

Guo Jia said in a hurried tone,

"If what Ziyi said is good, I'm afraid that Wancheng is already full of fire-causing things at this moment!"

Seeing that he said so earnestly, coupled with the fact that Yang Ling had never been untargeted.

When Cao Cao heard this, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said to Xu Chu,

"Zhong Kang, quickly stop the army, let them come out, and send someone to search the city to see if there is anything that ignites fire in it, as the military advisor said in the sacrificial wine!"

"Whoa!"

Xu Chu walked away quickly.

According to Cao Cao's orders, Cao's army immediately stopped entering Wancheng.

Xu Chu also led people to search in the city.

Sure enough, as Guo Jia said, Xu Chu found sulfur flames and nitrate in the houses in the city!

He broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly galloped his horse outward.

However, before Xu Chu could see Cao Cao, a fire suddenly burst out in a corner of the city!

It was a crisp autumn day, the weather was dry, and the city was full of fires.

However, in the blink of an eye, the spark of the spark took on a prairie fire and quickly swept the entire Wancheng!

This is a bitter time for the soldiers of the Cao army!

According to Cao Cao's military orders, most of the troops have already entered Wancheng, and some are even ready to rest.

Although he received the order to withdraw from Wancheng, in a hurry, it was too late for all the staff to withdraw.

The fire spread and enveloped the entire city.

The sky-high fire illuminates even the night!

Those Cao soldiers who didn't have time to escape were instantly engulfed in the fire!

"Quick, put out the fire!"

Cao Cao hurriedly commanded.

Fortunately, there was a water on the edge of Wancheng, and the soldiers of Cao, who were lucky enough to escape, immediately filled water with utensils and tried to extinguish the fire.

But in the face of ferocious fire, it is a drop in the bucket!

Listening to the screams and shouts coming from the city, Cao Cao's face became extremely ugly!

This Zhuge Liang is really a bastard!

When I catch him, I must let him try the taste of being roasted by the fire!

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A shout of killing came from afar!

At this time, the night was deep, and although the fire in Wancheng lit up the night sky, the situation in the distance was still pitch black, and it was impossible to see clearly.

"Except what?"

Cao Cao was shocked and angry!

"Duke Wei, the big thing is not good, Liu Bei's army ...... It's back again! ”

Yu Ban, who was in charge of fighting the fire, stumbled over.

Cao Cao only felt a chill rising from behind him, and his hands and feet were also cold!

At present, Cao Jun is in a mess, and they are busy fighting fires.

Liu Bei's picking this juncture to kill him back is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Cao Jun!
