Three Kingdoms: the Search for a Saint Starts from Mistaking Cao Cao As His Father-in-law

Cao Ang took a group of people and went straight to Jingzhou.

...

Ten miles south of Xinye City.

In the dense forest, more than [-] Jingzhou troops hid in it.

On the road outside the dense forest, the main force of the Jingzhou army continued to pretend to retreat southward under the banner of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei put his hands behind his back and looked to the north, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't hide a bit of anxiety in his eyes.

Zhuge Liang, who was beside him, shook his feather fan lightly, calm as water.

Unconsciously it was night.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Wen Pin flew into the forest and came to Liu Bei.

"Reporting to the lord, the scouts have just sent back a message that Cao Cao has led an army into Xinye City."

Clerk reported loudly.

Liu Bei's spirit was greatly lifted, and he looked at Zhuge Liang with joy: "Counselor Kong Ming, your calculation is really good, Cao Cao really entered the urn!"

"As expected."

Zhuge Liang's expression was flat, and he only asked: "Those saltpeter and firewood in Xinye City, can they hide their secrets?"

Wen Pin cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Sergeant Kong Ming, saltpeter is mostly scattered on the roof, and firewood and oil are also hidden in inconspicuous places. If Cao Jun hadn't been warned in advance and searched carefully, it was absolutely impossible to find anything abnormal!"

"Well, Wen Zhongye, you did a good job. If you win this battle, you will make the first contribution to the Lord!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and praised.

Wen Ping busy said humbly: "This is all a clever plan by Kong Ming's military advisor.

Zhuge Liang smiled, and the feather fan pointed to the north: "The thief Cao has entered the urn, what are you waiting for, lord, let's fight back immediately and set fire to Xinye!"

Liu Bei's arrogance was maddening, he got on his horse and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, follow me and go back to Xinye!"

The five thousand Jingzhou troops hiding in the woods took advantage of the cover of the night to touch the direction of Xinye. .

=== Chapter 164 Who is it that can see through the military master's trick? (5 more for full order) ===

Command torches, hundreds of torches, ignited immediately.

Immediately afterwards, more than [-] rockets rose up.

The drums of war suddenly sounded.

Three thousand bowmen shot arrows in an instant.

"Woooooo!"

Countless rockets, like flying flaming stars, soared into the air and attacked Xinye City.

The rocket crossed the city wall and fell overwhelmingly into the houses in the city.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen houses were set on fire, and the fire instantly illuminated Xinye City.

The archers kept firing rockets, shooting more than [-] rockets in one go.

It wasn't until the entire Xinye City was turned into a sea of ​​fire that Liu Bei gave the order to stop.

The mourning sound resounded in the city, like a ghost crying, one after another, which is creepy.

It was the pain and wailing of the people of Xinye City, swallowed up by the fire.

"Counselor Kong Ming, although this fire attack strategy can greatly defeat Cao's thieves, it has brought disaster to the innocent people of Xinye. I really can't bear it."

There was sadness and shame on Liu Bei's face, and old tears were streaming down his eyes.

"The lord is benevolent and righteous, and he can't bear to hurt the people. Liang naturally understands."

"But if the thief Cao can be burned to death in this battle, it will be equivalent to saving the people of the world and helping me, Dahan Sheji."

"Those people who sacrificed, if they knew in the sky, their sacrifices could help the lord save thousands of people, and they would surely die without regrets."

Zhuge Liang also had tears in his eyes as he comforted Liu 113 Bei.

Liu Bei let out a helpless sigh, and suddenly got off his horse and straightened his clothes.

"Xinye people, I, Liu Bei, represent the ancestors of the Liu family, and the people of the world, thank you for your sacrifices!"

He faced Xinye and knelt deeply.

This scene, the sergeants of Jingzhou left and right watched, all secretly weeping, moved by it.

Zhuge Liang's eyes were full of respect, and he tsk tsk praised: "The lord is always thinking of the people, and he is really a benevolent master. If the lord does not achieve great things, the sky has no eyes!"

Liu Bei, who was knocking his head to the ground, quietly raised the corner of his mouth.

at this time.

The gate of Xinye city opened, and countless people of Xinye began to flee in a hurry.

Zhuge Liang put away his feelings and reminded: "My lord, the remaining Cao Jun is about to rush out. Quickly prepare to sweep these remnants."

Liu Bei wiped away his tears, got on his horse, and shouted: "All generals obey the order, divide your troops into four directions, and immediately go to intercept the four fleeing Cao army!"
