Cao Cao, King of Wei, and Liu Bei, King of Chu, gathered in Jizhou.

Cao Cao used the slogan of "rejuvenating the Han dynasty and removing the kings" to accuse Liu Bei and others of claiming to be kings without the permission of the imperial court, and in fact they were thieves who rebelled.

Liu Bei used the slogan of "rejuvenating the Han dynasty and eliminating traitors" to accuse Cao Cao of being a traitor who caused chaos in the dynasty, intending to usurp the throne, and was named Hanchen, but he was actually a thief.

The two sides did not give in to each other, which made Yan Lin, the emperor of Yan State, feel very embarrassed, this is like an internal dispute in the Han family, so is it a little inappropriate for me, the Yan State, to participate.

In the land of the Central Plains, there are not many lands that can place hundreds of thousands of troops, and it just so happens that the North China Plain is considered a piece.

The Wei army was huge, and the Chu and Yan armies could only hold on to the camp, looking for opportunities.

Guan Yu and the others each led thousands of men and horses to fight back and forth.

Ma Chao, who surrendered to Cao Cao, had never fought against so many masters of the same level, and he had never experienced this kind of situation where he commanded thousands of soldiers and horses, but could only affect part of the battlefield.

This was a great battle unprecedented since the end of the Han Dynasty.

The sky is trembling, the earth is trembling, flags are all over the battlefield, gunsmoke is everywhere, and endless corpses are lying everywhere, which is extremely tragic.

Almost everyone was covered in blood, and generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei never left their bodies, sleeping in armor, and they had to get up and continue to fight anytime and anywhere.

In Liu Bei's camp, Fa Zheng finally proposed the last way to win, and plotted against Ma Chao!

"Ma Chao is in Cao Ying, and he is very important, how can he give up the strong and the weak to join our army?"

Fa Zhengze's eyes were sharp and said: "Ma Mengqi killed Cao Cao's son Cao Pi, how could he not be worried in his heart, Cao Cao has the capacity to accommodate people, but does Cao Ang also have it?"

Cao Ang and his brothers have a good relationship, won't they take revenge on Cao Pi?

Don't hide it from the king, Ma Chao's surrender to Cao Cao was persuaded at the beginning, and he knew that the king and Cao Cao would have a battle.

Ma Chao is afraid that he has been prepared a long time ago, and as long as he waits for a letter from the king, he will oppose Cao Zhuhan!

Ma Chao reversed, plus Lu Fengxian, the king of Jin.

At that time, Xiliang Iron Horse, Bingzhou Wolf Horse, Youyan Iron Horse, hooves like thunder, all moving together, Cao Cao will die without a place to be buried. ”

Luo Qi's eyes condensed and said: "The king, what he said is reasonable, the minister will go to the king of Jin, discuss the plan with the king of Jin, and within half a month, let the king of Jin send troops!" ”

Now whether it is where Lu Shen is or the frontal battlefield, they are struggling to support, and Lu Bu, the king of Jin, cannot find the right time to attack.

Liu Bei did not hesitate, directly drew his sword, and faced everyone: "A few days ago, I had a long talk with Ziqi, and I had infinite hesitation in my heart.

'My lord, the healer said I should have died a long time ago.

But now that I'm alive, do you want to know why?

For the vast majority of people in this world, life can only make a difference if they go through enough tribulations.

Every year in the past, every day, I have been pained by the decline of the Great Han, and the figure like a god has stood in front of me, and I have hesitated and suffered.

So now I can still stand here.

When you saw Cao Cao as king, how tormented did you feel in your heart?

When you see the end of Hanye, how much pain do you have in your heart?

These are all things that will be turned into your food, these things are burning in your heart, and you can use these things to light the way forward for the entire Chu State and the entire Han Dynasty. ’

Zhuqing, we have come a long, long way, we always fail in the face of Cao Cao, but one day, we will climb the highest mountain, cross the longest river, and the mountains and rivers will meet and converge.

We will be there, once again raising the crown of Hanye.

We will celebrate the new life in Luoyang, we will celebrate the new life in Chang'an, we will celebrate the new life in every mountain and every river, God blesses us, and we will move forward! ”

……

The wind blew the grass, the sunset was like blood, the night gradually hit, the Wei army camped on the land of Jizhou, and the camp stretched for dozens of miles, which was to complete its work in one battle.

Although it was already night, there were still a lot of soldiers patrolling the Wei military camp, one by one, alternating in order to prevent Liu Bei from coming to attack the camp.

Liu Bei gathered all the generals under his command except Guan Yu, and then dispatched almost the elite cavalry in the entire Chu army, and notified Yan Guo to attack the camp in a mighty way.

This can't even be called a camp raid, because it's too open.

But night battles are completely different from daytime, because they can't see clearly.

Even if you hold a torch high, you can't see the people in the distance clearly, and you can't see the situation in the distance, and people will have a sincere fear of the darkness.

In the face of Liu Bei and Yan Guo's attack on the camp, Cao Cao and the others were very calm, these were prepared, and they just needed to take precautions step by step.

After a brief period of confusion, a large number of soldiers suddenly shouted, "It's out of the water!" Walk the water! ”

With these roars, a roar of fire rose into the sky, almost burning the entire sky red, the brightest color in the night sky.

But for Wei Jun, that was the source of fear, and that was the most terrifying thing.

Because the place where the fire started was a granary!

It's a granary under heavy protection!

How did the enemy rush there?

The grain and grass were burned, and these hundreds of thousands of troops were eaten and chewed by people every day, astronomical amounts.

Will we be able to eat tomorrow?

Cao Cao is not calm now, this kind of thing is not suitable for use in the granary, because there are requirements for storing grain, not everywhere.

The place where the fire started has almost sixty percent of the military rations of the entire army, not to mention sixty percent, even if it is thirty percent, it is enough to mutiny, because no one wants to starve, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty are not serf soldiers, in this martial era, the treatment is not enough, if you say otherwise, you will oppose you.

Cao Cao knew that there must be an internal ghost.

The strategists thought about it and immediately knew that it was Ma Chao.

Looking at the burning granary, the firelight reflected Ma Chao's handsome face, he led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry loyal to him, facing the Wei soldiers who surrounded and killed, rode horses and raised guns, stared vertically and horizontally, and said loudly: "I am Xiliang Jin Ma Chao is also!" ”

Cao Ren rode his horse and asked, "Ma Chao, isn't it enough for the king to spare your life and keep the powerful and powerful?"

Why the opposite? ”

Ma Chao's face flashed with shame, and then he raised his gun and said loudly: "General Cao, please thank the King of Wei for Ma Chao, it is really the crown prince's persecution, since Chao entered the Han Dynasty, the crown prince has never had a word with Chao, Chao has to rebel." ”

Ma Chao was too sincere, which made Cao Ren a little speechless for a while.

Cao Cao and the others who got the news were also speechless, Cao Ang felt very aggrieved, was it wrong for him not to be with Ma Chao?

But in Ma Chao's view, this is Cao Ang's move to prepare to liquidate himself in the future.

Cao Cao is getting old, I'm afraid there are not a few years to live, but he is still young, and I don't know how long I will live under Cao Ang in the future.

He couldn't stand that kind of fearful days after only a year and a half, let alone live like that in the future.

Directly against the fuck!

Anyway, Lao Tzu nominally surrendered to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, not Cao Cao, the king of Wei, and Lao Tzu was not a courtier of the king of Wei, so it is impossible to say whether he is loyal or not.

Moreover, there is no reason in this world for a king to kill a minister and not allow a minister to resist.

Seeing that Ma Chao's objection had been decided, the Wei army immediately covered up, how strong Ma Chao's strength was, all the generals of the Wei army were clear, and they came up to besiege, but Ma Chao's goal was not to kill, but to destroy the chaos, and it was not only the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who followed him, but also the Qiang people who were auxiliaries.

As a Shenweitian general, Han and Qiang are of mixed blood, Ma Chao's prestige among the Qiang people is unparalleled.

The entire camp was suddenly disturbed by him, there were torches thrown by Ma Chao everywhere, the camp tent was burning, and the damage from the inside out was too great.

Ma Chao also went the other way, he did not rush to the heavily guarded Cao Cao camp, but to the periphery, the more peripheral the soldiers, the worse the soldiers, even the logistics farmers, he was completely rushing to mess up the situation.

Cao Cao really felt bad now, "Ma Chao and Liu Bei Yanguo should be together, they must be cautious and cautious." ”

"King, at present, most of the military camps are in accordance with the previous design, standing still, observing the situation, but the speed of the army is too fast, and we can't even give orders now."

Tents stretching for dozens of miles.

It is impossible for the messenger to convey orders, and in such an attack on the camp depends entirely on the judgment of the battalion master.

This is why, since ancient times, even a few hundred people are needed to attack the camp, so that thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of troops will not dare to act rashly, and they can even break through the camp and kill the generals.

Cao Cao somewhat underestimated Liu Bei and Yan Guo's determination to attack the camp this time.

Liu Bei personally went into battle and led almost all the generals in the entire Chu State to rush into battle, but he didn't bring Guan Yu!

This is not because he doesn't pay attention to it, but because he let Guan Yu command the entire army of soldiers and press it together.

In this era of widespread night blindness, it can be said that it is a great risk to rely on the light of torches to play night battles, and only Guan Yu has the ability to command in the Chu Kingdom.

A Armageddon that took place at night, a Armageddon in which the two sides barely saw each other, began in the night.

The arrows shot do not know whether they are killing their own people or enemies.

The galloping hooves of the horses do not know what to expect when they fall, whether it is flat ground or deep pits.

This is the war.

Where is Lozzi?

He's with Lu Bu!

The Bingzhou cavalry all went out, passing under the guidance of Luo Qi, Luo Qi used all his strength to guide the Bingzhou cavalry on the right road, and his mind completely recorded every road, every unsuitable place.

The North China Plain was only passively beaten in the face of the annexation of states.

And the state is condescending, there are really a lot of roads that can be traversed in the Taihang Mountains, and the Jizhou Plain can not be guarded.

When Luo Qi and Lu Bu stood on a high place, looking at the scattered flames in the camp, stretching for dozens of miles, the noisy sound came from there.

Luo Qi clenched his fists and said, "King Jin, please lend a helping hand." ”

Lu Bu held the helmet in his hand, stepped on the horse again, looked at Luo Qi and said loudly: "Gongzi Qi, lonely from the county around you, a few decades ago, a person like Lone would be ridiculed by a wealthy family as a warrior of the border county, thinking that we people are untrustworthy and capricious.

Dong Zhuo was defeated like this back then.

In fact, Lone doesn't care about those things like faith, because what we are dealing with is the Hu people, as long as we can live, we don't care about those things.

But who would have thought?

In the past few decades, it has always been because of keeping promises and keeping promises, and Lone has come to the point where it is now.

Zhao Wang Yuan Shao is such a famous hero in the world, the fourth and third princes married Gu.

Liu Bei, the king of Chu, who was known for his benevolence and righteousness, did not treat Lone as despicable, but invited Lone, the person who was called the king, to defeat Cao Cao together.

Since this is the case, Gu will go down this road, Hu Ren has seen Gu, and now let Cao Cao see General Fei.

Once lost to Cao Cao, now Lone wants to win once, Son, please go with Lone. ”

With that, Lu Bu led the cavalry to gallop towards Cao's camp, which had begun to gradually become chaotic, and Luo Qi also rode down.

Because now Liu Bei's army is setting fire everywhere, Lu Bu's cavalry will not attract attention at all.

By the time they were only a few hundred paces away from the barracks, the night sky had become like day, because the flames were so bright that it was no longer a torch, but a camp.

The cavalry's vision suddenly brightened, and Lu Bu immediately accelerated, and he leaped over the fence in front of the barracks, knocking the barrier that rejected the horse with just one blow.

Back then, Xiang Yu could break the soldier who raised the shield with one blow, and although Lu Bu is not as strong as Xiang Yu now, it is easy to break the rejection of the horse, which is the power that the first in the world has.

Lu Bu's image is too easy to recognize, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, the red rabbit horse under his crotch, and the iconic armor on his body all indicate his identity, and Lu Bu somewhat underestimated his reputation among ordinary soldiers.

He has won one against two and three enemies countless times, which is really too perverted.

Especially in the face of Cao Cao's generals, he fought six or seven people by himself and did not retreat, and since then, his reputation has been spread all over the world.

As soon as he appeared, half of the morale of the non-commissioned officers in this battalion was lost.

His personal guards followed him and rushed into the barracks, these are the elite who eat meat and vegetables, there is no night blindness, Lu Bu glanced at it, and immediately raised his bow and arrows, accompanied by the sound of breaking the air, the generals of this battalion did not even have the qualifications to fight back, and they were killed by Lu Bu with an arrow.

If they met on the battlefield, this general would not have died so quickly, but when he attacked the camp at night, he had no time to organize it, and he was directly killed by Lu Bu one-on-one, and the entire camp suddenly scattered like quicksand.

Lu Bu did not stop, he drove these soldiers to other camps, and the collapsed soldiers spread all kinds of rumors to other camps.

It only takes five or six people to produce rumors and mutate, and in this dark environment, soon the rumors will be broken from a camp to a large army that has failed, or even that the king of Wei is dead.

In fact, in a remote local area, there is already a voice that the king of Wei is dead, and the first person to imagine that the people who started to spread rumors will only believe it, but will not question it.

The collapse of the camp increased suddenly, which made Cao Cao and the others unexpected, and the news came from the collapsed soldiers that it was Lu Bu who appeared on the battlefield.

This made Cao Cao like a lightning strike.

The Wei State Strategists were also panicked, Lu Bu's participation in the war was somewhat unexpected by them, and Ma Chao's betrayal was somewhat unexpected by them, and these accidents led to the current situation.

After a short judgment, Xun You immediately said in a deep voice: "King, Lu Bu has joined Liu Bei, and the enemy army has the strength to fight with our army.

But even so, as long as the eight camps are guarded and the generals are well guarded, our army will still stand still, and our army will still be able to fight until the dawn! ”

The Wei army had already had various records, how could the gathering of hundreds of thousands of troops not be prepared to bomb the camp?

Cao Cao wiped the cold sweat on the top of his head, and immediately said: "What Gongda said is extremely true, immediately make all armies guard the camp until dawn, and the enemy army will retreat without a fight." ”

To the northwest of the battlefield, Lozzi led about a few hundred men and stood among the high cliffs, in front of him a pool of black grease and surrounded by dry firewood.

He counted the time of the day, he was proficient in astrology, and calculated that today there would be a north-west wind howling from the far north.

When a breeze blew, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, but in a short time, the wind became stronger and stronger, coming from the northwest and blowing to the southeast, the pool of grease was ignited, and the thick black smoke suddenly ignited, running wildly through the valley along the wind, and then rushed out of the Taihang Valley, dissipating in the same dark night sky.

"Ahem, ahem."

When the black smoke passed, all the soldiers who inhaled the smoke and dust coughed heavily, and the farther away they were, the milder the symptoms became, but the people affected did not know how much.

Not only the oil smoke, but the raging flames were even more blazing by the wind, blowing everywhere, and the smoke and flames easily crossed the defense line set by Cao Cao and entered the military camp in the inner circle.

Fire and water are the most affectionate, and without fire and water there is no human life.

Fire and water are also merciless, and there is nothing faster in war than fire and water to harvest human lives.

Hundreds of thousands of people can't be killed even for ten days and ten nights, but in the face of fire and water, it is just a sweep, maybe it only takes a few breaths, and countless lives are buried in it.

……

The general trend of the world changes rapidly, and the victory or defeat of the war is like a scale, and the two sides continue to increase their weight to determine who is the final winner.

It's called planning, and that's what the strategists do.

Cao Wei's strategists thought that the reason for winning was that Cao Wei's weight was too heavy, so Cao Cao was arrogant.

He put his army out with such a swagger, and wanted to defeat the combined forces of Chu and Yan in a grand manner, so that everyone in the world could see that he was completely defeating the last rebel with hard power.

But the anti-Cao camp took everything out, and Wu contained many of Cao Wei's forces in the south, and also pinned down the defenders of Nanyang in Jingzhou.

The state of Chu and the state of Yan briefly withstood Cao Wei's attack on the front, giving Ma Chao and Lu Bu a chance to exploit the loopholes.

burned Cao Cao's grain and grass, causing a large number of camps in Cao Wei's army, countless routs running in all directions, and finally this world-destroying fire.

The continuous camp and the raging flames completely destroyed Cao Cao's desire to fight again.

All attacks are prepared, but when the fire ignites, any resistance is meaningless.

The granary burned by Ma Chao can still be extinguished and the grain and grass can be saved, but this raging fire can burn the entire battlefield to the ground.

When the wind intensified, there was no point in fighting between the soldiers.

Cao Yingzhong.

Cao Cao looked at the raging fire, and directly vomited blood, his body was shaky, Cao Ang held it up, and said with sorrow: "Father, let's withdraw the army!" ”

Withdrawal!

Only Cao Ang dared to say this, Cao Cao's eyes widened angrily, and he wanted to say something, but he was suddenly choked by a puff of black smoke, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he waved his hand weakly: "Withdraw the army." ”

His words were full of helplessness, unwillingness, and endless grievances, and he was only one step away from reaching the top of his life, but before this step, he was burned by a fire.

He has seen his future, and at his age, he may never be able to unify the world.

He can only pin his hopes on Cao Ang, but will Cao Ang be able to fulfill his wish?

"Cao thief leave!"

Hearing a loud shout, everyone fixed their eyes on Lu Bu who was killed, and then Zhang Fei was killed together, followed by the cavalry of the brigade.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu went up to meet them, and the rest of them hurriedly protected Cao Cao and Cao Ang to leave, from high-spirited to embarrassed, only in a short time.

Liu Bei is in the camp.

Looking at the raging fire, Liu Bei laughed loudly, he raised the sword in his hand high, and shouted: "Cao thief is defeated!"

Cao thief defeated! ”

The words were full of pride and ambition, full of high spirits, and all the unwillingness and resentment in his heart were completely volatilized at this moment, and all disappeared in this hearty victory.

He looked around and asked loudly, "Where is Ziqi?" Is Ziqi back?

I want to tell him that I have grasped that glimmer of hope and light, I have grasped the last hope of the Han family! ”

His heart is so happy, he must share it with Luo Qi, Fa Zheng felt Liu Bei's trust in Luo Qi with some envy.

"Zi Qi Gong is back!"

Even though it was a noisy battlefield, this sound still reached Liu Bei's ears, he followed the sound to look everywhere, but saw Luo Qi lying on a stretcher and being carried in, his entire chest was full of blood, and the corners of his mouth were also full of red blood.

He immediately ran to Luo Qi's side, and was about to inquire anxiously, but Luo Qi grabbed his hand first, and said with difficulty word by word: "King, Qi has not disgraced his mission, and this time he will return to the Nine Heavens."

Now that Cao Cao has been defeated, there will be a new lord in the land of the five states, and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner.

There is no destiny in this world, after all, we still found a glimmer of opportunity, but it's a pity that the minister can't watch you wear the emperor's crown.

It's a pity.

Before the minister's death, there were a few words, Kong Ming can be reused, but all internal affairs are indecisive, what the minister wants to say most is that Kong Ming has the ability of Wengong and Guan Zhong, and has the loyalty of King Luowen and Wushuang Zhongwuhou. ”

Luo Qi's recommendation was so amazing that he used Duke Wen, Guan Zhong, King Luo Wen, and Wushuang Zhongwu to describe Zhuge Liang, which made Liu Bei have to be surprised.

Luo Qi said again: "Fa Xiaozhi can plan for the world, and the military strategy is all asked about Fa Xiaozhi, the world can go, there are Kong Ming and Fa Zheng, one article and one martial arts, and there is no ...... in Chu State."

Fa Zheng didn't expect Luo Qi to recommend himself in front of Liu Bei, he was quite surprised and inexplicably moved.

But seeing that Luo Qi didn't finish his last words, he vomited out a big mouthful of blood, and as soon as his hand was released, Liu Bei didn't even have time to say anything, and he went straight to it.

Who else could not know that Luo Qi just came back to see Liu Bei in one breath.

Liu Bei was stunned in place and didn't speak, but his eyes turned red directly, he raised his head to prevent tears from falling, and cried angrily: "Kill the Cao thief, and return to the old capital, I want to pay tribute to Ziqi's coffin in Luoyang!" ”

Everyone in the Chu State wept, the Chu State can have today, and the previous generation of Yinghou and Luo Qi has a lot to do with it, who would have thought that this father and son would be one after the other, but they have been in the soul for nine days for a few years.

What a pity it must have been to see that the Han family had just shown signs of prosperity, but it fell on the eve of victory.

The wind became stronger and stronger, and the shouting and killing on the battlefield did not stop for a moment.

But where the fire was strong, there were only screams, no shouts at all, and I don't know how many people died in the billowing black smoke and smoke and dust brought up by the flames.

Silently left behind a corpse.

The flames scorched human flesh, but there was no smell at all, but a stench of burnt.

The entire battlefield was gradually shrouded in black smoke, and as the wind gradually decreased, it began to spread around, and Liu Bei and the others had to lead the army to avoid it.

The shouting and killing on the battlefield gradually stopped, but the fire and smoke would not be extinguished so quickly, they were still burning, and everything was bound to be burned to ashes before it was over.

Lu Bu and Zhang Fei pursued Cao Cao but failed to catch up, and in the face of the surging flames, they could only lead the army to withdraw, watching Cao Cao flee all the way to Hanoi, he must have fled back to Luoyang and guarded the Xingyang Tiger Prison defense line.

The flames burned almost all night, and it is conservatively estimated that more than 200,000 troops were wiped out in it, and even the corpses were not left, plus the troops who died last night for various reasons, there were even more than 300,000 troops buried here.

When the dawn broke, Liu Bei looked at the blank land and trembled, and what came into view was full of scorched earth, which had been burned to ashes and condensed with the soil, and there were still unburned corpses lying on the ground.

His face was dark, his face and body were covered with burns, and even his nostrils were pitch black, which was caused by inhaling a huge amount of soot.

Looking at all this, Liu Bei said slowly: "In this battle, Wei will not be able to go east again within ten years. ”

Mo said to the east, Mo is not the Kwantung State is now divided into Yan State, Chu State, and Wu State, and the Wei State suffered such a big loss in the First World War, and there is even a danger of losing the country.

In the Battle of Handan that year, the Qin army was destroyed by the Kwantung princes, and the Qin Dynasty perished.

At that time, Emperor Guangwu also surrounded and annihilated the main force, and finally got the crown of the Han family.

After defeating Cao Wei, Liu Bei didn't even have time to rejoice, so he threw himself into the war with Yan.

Luo Qi had already told him that he would defend against the Yan State, and once he defeated Cao Cao, this group of Yan people would definitely clean up the Chu State by the way.

It just so happened that Liu Bei also thought so, and Cao Cao's withdrawal from the Five Prefectures had become a foregone conclusion.

This is a good Jizhou, so it should naturally fall into the hands of his Liu Bei.

Yan Guo, go to death!
