Chapter 524: Heaven and Earth
In order to facilitate the transfer of grain and grass, the Wei army water village is in the northwest direction of Fuling Lake, the fire is burning, and by the southeast wind, it quickly spreads to the village.
Cao Xiu found the war horse in the thick smoke, and was still waiting to lead the troops to fight, but when he saw the fireworks flying, the whole sky was red, and when he turned his head, he was choked by the smoke and couldn't breathe, so he had to cover his mouth and nose and leave.
The Wei warships were connected in one place, and the navy could not control them, and those who could untie the chain were also crowded in one place, unable to move, and the sailors on the ships fled separately.
It turned out that the Jiangdong Navy was a mother ship, and the small boats in front were all loaded with sulfur and oil, and then a whole building ship was set up to carry firewood and grass, and the fire burned, and the fire took advantage of the wind to help the fire, and it was impossible to stop it.
At this time, Zhou Tai's warship was in the middle of the lake, stopping Niu Jin who came to the rescue, and divided his troops to attack the eastern water village first.
The north side of Fuling Lake was lit up by the fire as bright as day, the smoke went straight into the air, the stars and the moon had already been submerged, and the lake was more red than the sunset, and the flames burned so that people could not get close.
Lu Xun, who was waiting at the mouth of the South Lake, saw the flames soaring into the sky, and knew that Zhou Tai had succeeded, and immediately ordered the drum to be dispatched, Jiang Qin and Dong Xi each led a fleet, and crossed the Huai River to Hubei in three ways.
……
Xuyi fireworks soared into the sky, but Shouchun at this time was silent, the bright moon was scarce, and the spring breeze was warm, as if it was coaxing the soldiers and civilians in the city to sleep.
On Shouchun City, the soldiers patrolling the city walked back and forth, the torches were blown by the night wind, some yawned, and some dozed off against the city wall.
Even these defenders didn't know that a big storm was brewing in the seemingly relaxed Shouchun City, which was about to change the situation and fate of the Han Dynasty.
The palace was brightly lit, the four walls were illuminated as bright as day, Chen Zhi personally led the troops to inspect, and the sword flickered with cold light, which was a completely different scene.
The idle people in the mansion have been cleared out early, and Liu Qi and Lu Su are discussing with the Jiangdong generals about the plan to break Cao and make the final deployment, and this battle cannot be lost.
Lu Fan said: "The three organs have been deployed, as long as the Cao thief enters the city, it will be a turtle in the urn." ”
Liu Qi nodded and said: "Later, General Huang Lao opened the north gate and let the Wei army enter the city. ”
"No!" Zhu Huan, Chen Wu, and Han Dang took the order and left.
Liu Qi also ordered Lu Fan to protect Lu Su and others, open the city later, and retreat from the east gate first.
Everyone went to prepare, Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong stood under the hall and asked anxiously: "The general brought the two of us to Shouchun, but there was no general order, what does this mean?" ”
A few days ago, Liu Qi returned from Xuyi and personally named Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong to take away the two generals, and the two thought that Liu Qi appreciated them and happily followed.
Liu Qi said with a smile: "I invited the two generals to come, there are more important things, but it is very dangerous, I don't know if the two generals are willing to go?" ”
Pan Zhang laughed and said: "I want to walk the rivers and lakes in the lower part of the country, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, what kind of scene have I never seen?" Now that it is the Zhongxing Han family, it is even more fearless, and the head has fallen off a scar that is not the size of a bowl, so what is there to fear? ”
Ma Zhong hugged his fists and said: "The two of us are from a reckless background, it is rare for General Liu to trust him so much, and the one who is a confidant dies, please just give orders!" ”
Liu Qi took a deep breath and said slowly: "The task of the two generals is to capture and kill the Cao thief and get rid of the troubles forever!" ”
"Huh?!" Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong were shocked and looked at Liu Qi in amazement.
Liu Qi smiled coldly: "What's the matter, the two generals are afraid?" ”
"Not really!" Pan Zhang was a little incredulous, "If such an important thing can be done, it will definitely be famous all over the world and passed on to future generations, why doesn't the general use his confidants?" ”
"This is a feat from heaven!" Ma Zhong also opened his mouth half-open and nodded blankly.
Now Cao Cao is still unaware of Huang Gai's bitter meat scheme, and he almost caught Cao Cao by killing him, such a good opportunity Liu Qi didn't let Zhao Yun and them do it, but let them two.
Besides, the two of them don't have much friendship with Liu Qi, there are so many generals in Jiangdong, Zhu Huan and Chen Wu are all children of the family, and such a good thing can't be the turn of the two of them.
Liu Qi sighed: "Everyone has their own strengths, and this wealth only belongs to the two generals." ”
The two were pleasantly surprised, glanced at each other, knelt on the ground with a puff, and clenched their fists: "Although the general commands, the last general will go to the soup and die." ”
Liu Qi hurriedly helped the two of them up, and said: "But the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, but this matter depends on the will of heaven, if it is not done by the two generals, it is not strange." ”
Pan Zhang asked, "General, it's okay to say it." ”
Liu Qi said: "Shouchun has laid a net of heaven and earth, if Cao thief enters the city, he will definitely die." But this 'life' is not what I want, I want Cao thief to die and have no life, and the two generals will go to Huaishui outside the city to ambush, just in case. ”
Ma Zhong frowned and said: "Huaishui stretches for thousands of miles, in case the Cao thief escapes, where to find him?" ”
Liu Qi said: "I have ordered Quan Cong and Sun Shao to ambush in Bagong Mountain, if Cao thief escapes, he will not dare to go down Cai, and he will retreat to Dangtu." The old thief was guarded by Xu Chu, and there were quite a lot of dead soldiers, and it was difficult to be sure of the land battle, so the two pretended to be fishermen to guard the territory of Dangtu, and when the thief crossed the river in a hurry, he could be killed on the water. ”
"Shogun Takami!" Pan Zhang suddenly woke up, nodded and said: "As long as the Cao thief is on the water, let him guard him have great ability, and he must also ask them to feed the fish." ”
Ma Zhong hugged his fists and said: "Although the general can rest assured, as long as he can really call the Cao thief on the boat, the gods will also be kingly." ”
Liu Qi looked at Ji Miao, and Ji Miao took out two sleeve arrows from the medicine box, which is the latest weapon developed by Xiangyang.
Pan Zhang and the others tied their hands according to Ji Miao's instructions, and listened to his introduction, they were amazed and a little loved.
Ma Zhong raised his hand and pointed at Pan Zhang, and said with a smile: "This artifact is in line with my heart." ”
Ji Miao hurriedly grabbed his arm: "The two generals are careful, these arrows have been quenched for seven days under the snake venom, and the throat is sealed with blood, and there must be no rubbing." ”
Ma Zhong hurriedly collected his arm, said goodbye to Pan Zhang, and had these two most famous general killers of the Three Kingdoms as the last insurance, and he didn't believe that Cao Cao could escape.
The Battle of Huainan was not as dangerous as Chibi, but the two armies confronted each other for three or four years, and a lot of troops were consumed, and Liu Qi didn't expect Cao Cao to come back alive.
This time, the two-pronged approach finally gained the upper hand, and Liu Qi decided to let Cao Thief bury his bones in Huainan and get rid of future troubles forever!
Even if Cao Cao is caught, there is no possibility of persuasion to surrender, and since the moment he ascended the throne of Wei, it is impossible to be a capable minister of the world.
Even if he had the heart to leave Cao Cao, he would not be able to explain to the dead people of Xuzhou, the tens of thousands of righteous soldiers recruited, and the Han Zhongliang who were killed.
There are many heroes of the Three Kingdoms who have been protected now, and he has a bigger goal and a longer way to go than soon as possible to end this troubled world.
The name of the Han Dynasty cannot be spread overseas, how can it be worthy of this rare opportunity to cross?
