The 2 soldiers and horses were immediately divided into four teams, with 2 people in one team, and the remaining [-] people were responsible for setting up camp on the hillside outside the city.

As the sun set, the four groups of people took their positions one after another.

In line with the idea of ​​hitting two shots if there is no date, Cao Ren ordered to set fire to the city.

The fire was small at first, but with the arrival of a gust of wind, the fire spread throughout Xinye City.

In less than half an hour, thousands of soldiers rushed out from the east gate, and the leading general was Zhao Yun.

"The enemy army is coming, be on guard!" Cao Hong, who was guarding the east gate, shouted loudly.

In an instant, the two armies fought in melee.

Zhao Yun, who was smoked into black charcoal, fought Cao Hong with a spear.

The two fought for thirty rounds without distinction.

In the next battle, Cao Hong was already invincible.

With a false shot, Zhao Yun quickly repelled Cao Hong and led his troops out of the encirclement.

"Chase!" Cao Hong roared angrily, and immediately led his troops to pursue Zhao Yun.

Upon seeing this, Cao Ren and Xu Chu led the main force to pursue Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun never thought that this would be the result.

It failed to burn Xinye, and was almost burned to death by the enemy.

At this time, he had no way out, so he had to go to Baihe to ask Guan Yu for help.

And there are tens of thousands of Cao Jun behind him.

Seeing the enemy's attack, Guan Yu wanted to follow the advice of the army division to dig the embankment and flood the enemy.

But the scouts came to report: "General, it is General Zhao Yun who is going to Baihe, and there are tens of thousands of Cao troops behind him!"

"What?" Guan Yu was shocked: "How is this possible?"

Guan Ping clasped his fists: "Father, I'm afraid Cao Jun has seen through the strategy of burning Xinye, otherwise General Zhao Yun wouldn't be in such a mess!"

Hearing this, Guan Yu immediately picked up his sword and mounted his horse: "Order the whole army to follow me to rescue General Zilong!"

"Obey!" The generals under the tent clasped their fists together.

In the battle of Bowangpo, it was Zhao Yun who desperately rescued him and his third brother Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu will never forget this kindness.

More than ten thousand soldiers and horses killed Baihe, and immediately fought with Cao Jun.

"Zilong hurry up, go to Boling Ferry to find Yide!"

"Thank you, General Yunchang!" Zhao Yun cupped his fists and led the remnant soldiers to Boling Ferry.

Guan Yu blocked the enemy for more than half an hour, but seeing that Cao's army was getting more and more soldiers, he had no choice but to retreat to Boling Ferry.

"Chase!" Cao Ren roared angrily, leading his troops to chase Guan Yu madly.

At this time, Zhao Yun had fled to Boling Ferry.

Before he could ask Zhang Fei for help, Zhang Fei, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly rushed out and stabbed Zhao Yun with a Zhangba spear in his hand.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun's body skills were excellent, and he immediately avoided the fatal blow.

Zhang Fei yelled: "The thief Zhao Yun, you betrayed us again, today I will take your dog's life!"

Zhao Yun retorted: "If I betray you, why wait today?"

Zhang Fei didn't stop Zhao Yun from explaining, and pointed his spear at Zhao Yun one after another.

Zhao Yun only defended but not attacked, and the two fought endlessly.

Until Guan Ping led his troops to kill, he said loudly: "You two uncles, don't fight any more, Cao Jun is behind you!"

"What's going on?" Zhang Fei put away his spear and asked Guan Ping.

Guan Ping clasped his fists: "The strategy of burning Xinye has been seen through. General Zilong fled from Baihe to Boling Ferry. My father is blocking Cao's army!"

"Grandma, all the generals obey the order, follow me to save the second brother!" Zhang Fei roared, regardless of Zhao Yun, and went to rescue Guan Yu with his soldiers and horses.

Chapter 126 Zhuge Liang's Fear, Liu Xian Takes Huang Yueying

Zhang Fei left Boling Ferry and immediately led his troops to meet Guan Yu.

"Second brother, don't panic, third brother is here!"

With a roar, Zhang Fei picked up the Zhangba spear and went straight to kill Cao Jun.

The vanguard of Cao Jun fought with Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu had a chance to breathe, and immediately led his troops to flee to Boling Ferry to join Zhao Yun.

On the other side, Zhang Fei is still fighting fiercely.

Seeing that Cao's army was getting more and more numerous, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun should have withdrawn, so Zhang Fei immediately fled with his remnants.

"Pursue!" Cao Ren roared angrily, and personally led his troops to pursue Zhang Fei, and ordered Cao Hong to pursue Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.

It was getting darker and darker, Zhang Fei got into the woods and disappeared.

By the time Cao Jun entered the woods, he had no idea of ​​Zhang Fei's whereabouts.

On the other side, Cao Hong did not catch Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, because they ran away by boat from the ferry.

When Guan Zhang and Zhao San were about to enter Fancheng, it was already dawn.

The three immediately went to the Chinese army to report the battle situation to Liu Bei.

"Hey!" Liu Bei let out a long sigh.

Mi Fang said: "A military strategist is unparalleled, how could the enemy see through it?"

At this moment, the pressure was transmitted to Zhuge Liang's head.

The battle of burning Xinye was planned by Zhuge Liang from beginning to end.

He won the battle, thanks to Zhuge Liang.

If he lost, Zhuge Liang must be responsible.

Zhuge Liang kept shaking the feather fan in his hand: "Cao Ren sees the empty city, there is no reason not to enter!"

"That's right!" Liu Bei nodded, "Our army is hiding in the tunnels in the city. It stands to reason that Cao Ren will never find out!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Yun.

Zhang Fei roared angrily: "Zilong, you should give everyone an explanation!"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists together: "My lord, I am following orders, and I don't know why Cao Ren didn't enter Xinye City!"

Zhang Fei yelled: "I think it is you who sent someone to inform you. The Battle of Bowangpo was like this. You are a traitor and you should be killed!"

"Yide, stop talking nonsense, I believe Zilong will never do this!" Liu Bei reprimanded Zhang Fei immediately.

Zhuge Liang also said: "If Zilong is collaborating with the enemy, why should he escape? Why didn't he take the opportunity to capture Yide and General Yunchang alive?"

Zhang Fei stopped talking, and Guan Yu also turned his head away.

If Zhao Yun is really collaborating with the enemy, he can definitely defect.

Whether Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can come back alive is not certain.

Liu Bei shook his head: "Then there is only one last possibility left. Mr. Cao Ji who is beside Cao Cao has seen through the strategist's plan ahead of time!"

"My lord is right!" Zhuge Liang nodded heavily.

Although he had never met Cao Ji, let alone what Cao Ji looked like, his intuition told Zhuge Liang that this person would be his rival in the future.

……

Reports of Cao Ren's battle in Xinye immediately spread to Xudu.

After Cao Cao got the news, he hurriedly took his son Cao Pi to find Liu Xian.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Cao Cao could smell the aroma of roast chicken.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "It seems that I came at the right time!"

"It's about time! The chicken has just been roasted!" After Lao Huang finished speaking, he brought the roast chicken to the table.

"Prime Minister, please!" Liu Xian directly took the wine jar and filled a big bowl for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao picked up the wine bowl and signaled: "Sir, the battle report has come from Xinye!"

"Oh?" Liu Xian smiled: "How did it turn out?"

"Cao Ren specifically asked me to thank you in the letter. Without your six-character mantra, he would have been buried in Xinye City. This battle can be described as dangerous and dangerous!"

Cao Cao roughly described the whole battle to Liu Xian.

After hearing this, Liu Xian couldn't help sighing: "General Cao Ren adapts to the situation, he is worthy of being the general trained by Prime Minister Cao!"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Sir, you are humble. If you hadn't predicted the enemy first, how could Cao Ren turn defeat into victory?"

Liu Xian also smiled: "Xinye has been broken, Fancheng must not be kept for a long time, I wonder when the prime minister plans to send troops south?"

Cao Cao looked at Liu Xian excitedly: "Sir, I was just about to discuss this matter with you. News came from Jingzhou that Liu Biao died of illness, and Liu Cong succeeded him!"

"Oh?" Liu Xian was shocked: "Liu Biao died so quickly?"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "It's because of Mr.'s urging policy. According to the report from the school affairs office, Liu Biao died of anger that night when he heard that the court was attacking him!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Xian laughed.

Cao Cao grabbed Liu Xian's arm: "Sir, I want to send 50 troops to take Jingzhou directly in three days, what do you think?"

"Very good!" Liu Xian nodded.

Cao Cao asked: "Dare to ask, sir, how will the battle in Jingzhou be fought?"

"No need to fight!" Liu Xian shook his head immediately.

"Huh?" Cao Cao was puzzled, "No need to fight?"

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded: "I expect the Prime Minister to send troops in front, and the civil and military forces in Xiangyang City will definitely come down in the back!"

"Surrender?" Cao Cao was shocked: "Jingzhou has enough soldiers and food, Liu Cong is young but has two generals, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Xian laughed loudly: "Cai Mao can defend the city, and he has absolutely no ambition to attack the city!"

"That's right!" Cao Cao nodded, Cai Mao was his classmate, what Liu Xian said basically fit Cai Mao's character.

Liu Xian said again: "The general has no ambitions, and the young master won't leave tomorrow. Why did Cai Mao and Zhang Yun fight this battle?"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed.

Liu Xian continued: "If Jingzhou surrenders, both Cai Mao and Zhang Yun will be rewarded, and the Jingzhou family will be spared from the war. Looking at the whole Jingzhou, who else is unwilling to surrender? Even if it is a desperate battle, what chance does Jingzhou have?"

"It makes sense!" Cao Cao nodded repeatedly.

Liu Xian spread his hands: "So I expect Jingzhou to surrender without a fight. When the prime minister dispatches troops, he can send someone to secretly contact Cai Mao and Zhang Yun!"

"Crack!" Cao Cao slapped the table with a slap, "We will dispatch troops tomorrow without waiting for three days!"

"Prime Minister is wise!" Liu Xian clasped his hands together.

"No need to send it off, I'm going back to the mansion!" Cao Cao turned around and left Liu's mansion.

But Cao Pi did not leave in a hurry, and leaned towards Liu Xian attentively: "Master!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Xian smiled, and waved directly: "Old Huang, take the money!"

"Take the money?" Lao Huang was puzzled: "What kind of money?"

"No progress!" Cao Pi said: "Didn't you hear my master just say that Jingzhou will surrender?"

"Buy land?" Lao Huang suddenly realized.

"Yes!" Liu Xian nodded: "If you don't buy the land, Jingzhou will surrender, and the land price should increase!"

"Okay!" Lao Huang yelled vigorously, and hurried into the warehouse to get the money.

That night, Lao Huang began to pack his belongings for the march.
