I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 753 Plan to burn the camp
Liu Jian warmly received Huang Gai in his commander's tent, and sent people to arrange a banquet of wine and meat, so that the generals could accompany him and drink with Huang Gai.

The banquet Liu Jian set for Huang Gai this time was of a relatively high standard, which could be said to fully demonstrate his courtesy as a corporal. If he were an ordinary surrendering general, seeing Liu Jian treating him so favorably, he was already moved to tears. Even if it was a false surrender, I'm afraid it will turn out to be true.

But Huang Gai is not an ordinary person after all, and his obsession is still relatively big. He always misses his old master Sun Jian in his heart.

Although Liu Jian had a charisma that Huang Gai admired, he still had to insist on being Liu Jian's enemy for Sun Jian's sake.

Liu Jian's bodyguard representatives were ordered to count the baggage and weapons brought by Huang Gai, as well as the number of soldiers he led who surrendered to Liu Jian, and reported to Liu Jian.

After hearing the number of people Huang Gai was carrying, Liu Jian showed a surprised expression in the commander's tent!

He looked at Huang Gai and said, "Did Gongfu actually lead so many troops to surrender from Yangping Pass to my command?"

Huang Gai hurriedly raised his hands to Liu Jian and said, "Prime Minister, you don't have to be so surprised. In Yangping Pass, there are still many generals and outstanding people who want to surrender to the Prime Minister. But they can't figure out the Prime Minister's background, and they don't know whether they can get the Prime Minister after surrendering." They attach great importance to it, so they have scruples and dare not act easily.”

"However, the Prime Minister represents the mighty Han Dynasty, which occupies the world's orthodoxy. He also has countless elite soldiers and generals under his command. How can a small place in Western Shu be compared with the Prime Minister's army?"

"There are so many people in Shu who want to surrender to the Prime Minister. The people Huang Gai attracted today are just a drop in the bucket. The next day, the Prime Minister conquered Western Shu and benefited Yizhou. How can the capable people who came to submit be brought here by Gai?" Comparing the number of people?”

After saying that, they saw him turning to look at Xun You aside and said: "Gongda! Send a letter to the imperial court immediately, and draw it up at the Chancellor's Desk, edicting Huang Gongfu to be a partial general and a marquis in Guannei. Others who came to surrender will be based on the military academy." If there is a situation where you need to be promoted to a higher rank, please don’t neglect it.”

Liu Jian wanted to use the title of general and marquis for himself so that people in Shu could see that anyone willing to surrender to him would definitely be favored.

Liu Jian nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry about this. I treat all those who have meritorious service equally. If they have meritorious service, I will definitely reward them generously in the future. I will never let down every person who loves the imperial court!"

Huang Gai heard that Liu Jian wanted to make him a general and a marquis. I was quite surprised. It seemed that Liu Deran was really spending a lot of money.

When Huang Gai heard the mission given to him by Liu Jian, he immediately handed over his hand and said, "Prime Minister, please rest assured. When Gai left Yangping Pass, he specifically asked a few of his close men to stay in Yangping Pass. Although they are still on the surface, He is loyal to Sun Ce, but he is actually loyal to the Prime Minister sincerely. However, for the sake of long-term planning, he did not let him come out with us this time, so that he can serve as an internal support in the future!"

"Of course, if these people can make great achievements in the future, please ask the Prime Minister to use them. In this way, they will live up to their risk and cooperate with the Prime Minister inside and outside to capture Yangping Pass."

As for the Marquis of Guannei, although he does not have a clear food town, he is still a Marquis!
At least it has a name!
Huang Gai thought about it carefully, and then it became clear!

As a result, people in Shu will be panicked, and more people will surrender to him one after another.

Although his mind was spinning a thousand times, Huang Gai still stood up in a hurry and saluted Liu Jian from afar.

You are also a general.

Huang Gai hurriedly handed over his hands: "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Liu Jian couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
He gently touched his palm and said: "Gongfu's words have won my heart! If you can surrender to me, I think it will definitely give those people in Shu a good start. I will definitely treat Gongfu generously and show your achievements." "

It was also a credit to himself that he had planned a fire attack. This time, he would definitely be saved. Otherwise, if the battle continued for such a long time, Yangping Pass would be able to defend the imperial army, but it would not be able to defend the hearts of the people in Shu. Woolen cloth.

"Thank you Prime Minister for the military position. Huang will do his best for the Prime Minister in the future."

"In addition, as for the heroes in Shu, if anyone sincerely surrenders, Gongfu can help me connect the dots. No matter who they are, I will treat them with sincerity."

Later, Liu Jian said to Huang Gai:
"Gongfu has just returned. He can lead his troops and horses and temporarily return them to General Xu."

Xun You immediately accepted the order.

Although he, the partial general, and the Marquis of Guannei are quite weak in name, at least they are quite capable in terms of title.

"The next day, if there are any orders, General Xu will convey my wishes to the Duke."

When such a person confronts Sun Ce, Sun Ce is really hard to guard against.

As expected, he is full of deceit and his heart is to be punished.

……

In fact, what Huang Gai and Liu Jian are talking about now are all about an ecstasy formation.

The two of them were actually thinking about Xiao Jiujiu.

Huang Gai brought so many troops to surrender in order to find the right time to cooperate with Sun Ce and start a fire attack plan on Liu Jian's camp.

Liu Jian placed Huang Gai under Xu Rong, firstly for surveillance, and secondly so that Huang Gai could inspire more of his revenge under Xu Rong.

Thirdly, Xu Rong is mature and prudent, and it is very reassuring to let Xu Rong monitor Huang Gai and Liu Jian.

Huang Gai was calm-minded. Liu Jian sent him to serve as a general under Xu Rong. Huang Gai temporarily suppressed the hatred in his heart and respected the general Xu Rong on the surface.

In fact, he kept secretly sending people to inquire about Liu Jian's movements. At the same time, he also continued to take advantage of the training opportunities of the three armies to observe the current situation of Liu Jian's camp.

When Huang Gai first arrived at the Han army's camp, he did not dare to be too presumptuous at first, for fear that others would see something wrong.

Liu Jian's camp was indeed well-guarded and drilled very diligently every day. It was indeed an elite army.

At this point, Liu Jian did not deliberately deceive Huang Gai. He showed off all his military glory.

Because if Liu Jian deliberately made the three armies act slack at this point, he would definitely not be able to hide it from Huang Gai, and it would easily make him suspicious if he turned back.

It would be better to let the other party see your true strength.

In this way, the other party will let down their guard against themselves and start to really look for flaws.

Although Huang Gai was also good at playing tricks, he was not just on the same level as Liu Jian and his subordinates Jia Xu, Xun You and others.

Sure enough, Huang Gai could see that Liu Jian should not be on guard against him, or at least believed that he was sincerely surrendering.

He began to carefully search for the weaknesses of Liu Jian's camp.

But in fact, he observed it for a while and found that Liu Jian's Chinese army tent was indeed tightly guarded, with no gaps to be found, and it was impossible to carry out a beheading operation.

Of course, this was similar to his previous predictions and guesses.

The sergeants under Xu Rong are also very capable, patrolling on time every day, and in terms of arranging troops, they seem to be gathering themselves together, and they seem to be on guard against their own sergeants.

But precisely because of this, Huang Gai believed that Liu Jian had indeed accepted his surrender.

If Liu Deran had doubts about himself, he would definitely not put his actions of deliberately monitoring himself on the surface.

Xu Rong is now taking more care of himself. It is obvious that Liu Jian does not fully trust them, the soldiers who surrendered. This will take time to temper, but it also proves that Liu Jian really wants to accept them.

In this way, Huang Gai was not in a hurry. He just stayed peacefully among Liu Jian's army and quietly contacted various capable people and strangers in Shu according to Liu Jian's request. Of course, he was not only in contact with people inside Yangping Pass, but also with other people in Hanzhong, Huang Gai, outside Yangping Pass. After all, there were people arranged by Sun Ce who were familiar with Huang Gai there.

In order to gain Liu Jian's trust, Sun Ce arranged for Sun Jiajun personnel in various counties to secretly exchange letters with Huang Gai, expressing their willingness to surrender to Liu Jian.

Huang Gai showed these letters to Liu Jian, stating these people's intention to submit to the imperial court.

As long as the army arrives in various counties in Hanzhong the next day, these people will definitely serve as internal agents to help Liu Jian seize the counties.

Liu Jian was overjoyed. Everyone praised Huang Gai, and his precautions against him gradually disappeared.

During this time, Huang Gai also interacted more with Xu Rong and found ways to gain Xu Rong's trust.

He also had a clearer and clearer understanding of the layout of Liu Jian's camp.

Liu Jian's current camp is located in a dense forest and near a water source.

For the sergeants of the Han army, doing so can indeed prevent them from heatstroke and spend the summer safely.

But once it catches fire. For the Han army's military, it was indeed a fatal damage, especially since Liu Jian set up a company camp in a dense mountain forest.

The more Huang Gai observed Liu Jian's camp, the happier he became.

In particular, the Dazhai where grain, grass, hay and other flammable items were stationed in Liu Jian's camp was not far from where Xu Rong stationed troops, which meant that it was not far from where Huang Gai stationed troops.

In this way, Huang Gai used this place as the first fire point, and then cooperated with Sun Ce inside and outside to burn the mountains and forests near Liu Jian's camp. In just a short time, his company camps could be set on fire everywhere. .

By then, even if Liu Jian has three heads and six arms, he will definitely be defeated.

On the one hand, Huang Gai pretended to help Liu Jian contact various people in Hanzhong and persuade them to surrender. At the same time, he compiled a picture of the situation of the Han army's camp and quietly sent it to Yangping Guanzhong to report to Sun Ce!

After Sun Ce saw the picture, he immediately decided to burn Liu Jian's camp on the tenth day of September.

Let Liu Jian's 50,000 soldiers be burned into cokes, and he even wanted to kill Liu Jian himself.

In Sun Ce's view, this is a fateful battle that will change the general trend of the world!
This is a battle that is enough to change the world!

In a blink of an eye, September 10th is here...
