Chapter 7: Burning Xinye (This chapter is free)

When they heard that Cao Cao's army was invading, Liu Bei recruited everyone, Xue Bing and Zhang Fei hurried to the city guard palace. When the two arrived, Guan Yu had already stood in the hall, but the others had not arrived yet. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were discussing something in a low voice. Seeing this, Xue Bing bowed to Liu Bei and then walked quietly to the side and waited for the arrival of the others.

Zhang Fei was not a calm master. As soon as he came in, he shouted loudly: "The old thief Cao Cao is here? When I lead a group of troops and go to meet the enemy!" Just as he was shouting, he found that Liu Bei was staring at him, so he had to shut up and stand behind Guan Yu. After a while, Zhao Yun, Guan Ping and others rushed to the hall one after another. Seeing that everyone was coming, Liu Bei straightened his body and said to everyone: "The pioneer Cao Cao has arrived at Bo Wang and recruited all generals to discuss strategies against the enemy!"

At this time, a civil servant standing on the left side of the hall came out and said, "Cao Cao is powerful, and with the current strength of our army, it is difficult to resist. It is better to retreat to Xiangyang to avoid his attack!" Xue Bing looked over, but the person who spoke was Mi Zhu. These days, he lived in Zhang Fei's mansion, and through Zhang Fei, he also knew all the civil servants and generals under Liu Bei's account. Although it was not considered a friendship, at least he became familiar with him first. Seeing Mi Zhu go out to speak, Xue Bing began to recall the records of this part of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his mind. "It seems that Liu Cong has offered Jingzhou at this time. I am so anxious that everyone is coming, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang will burn this second fire again!" Thinking of this, he understood that he was going to fight again, and he felt a little anxious.

"Zi Zhong didn't know that Liu Biao had passed away, and his son Liu Cong took over Jingzhou. At this time, Jingzhou had been presented to Cao Cao!" At this point, Liu Bei sighed, but he didn't know what he was sighing.

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this. Jingzhou had been presented to Cao Cao by Liu Cong? Didn’t everyone lose even a stable rear? Even Zhao Yun showed a solemn expression.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Liu Bei continued, "After I received this news, I discussed with the military advisor for a long time. The military advisor had already had a plan to defeat the enemy. Everyone should act according to their orders!" After saying that, he turned his eyes to Zhuge Liang and asked him to dispatch everyone. Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan and sat firmly in the original place to issue orders. He first sent people to go to the four gates to set up a list and informed the residents of the city: No matter men, women, young and old, those who would follow Liu Bei would follow him to Fancheng for a while from today! Then he called Sun Qian and ordered him to go to the river to allocate ships to the river to help the people. After Sun Qian went down, he called Mi Zhu and asked him to escort the families of the generals to Fancheng. Seeing that Mi Zhu also took the order, he began to dispatch the generals to arrange matters against the enemy.

"Where is the cloud?" Zhuge Liang took out a command arrow from his front and called out loudly. When Guan Yu heard the sound, he immediately took a step, stood in front of Kong Ming, and said with his fists: "Here!" Zhuge Liang smiled and ordered: "Chang Yun led a thousand soldiers to ambush the upper reaches of the Baihe River. Each of the troops brought cloth bags and filled with sand and soil. When they arrived at the upper reaches, they would block the water of the Baihe River. After the third day of the next day, as long as they could hear the downstream shouting horses, they would immediately take out the cloth bags and flood them, and then lead the soldiers to kill them along the water to meet them." After that, he handed the command arrow forward and sent it to Guan Yu's hand. Guan Yu received the command arrow and said, "Get the command!" and turned around.

When Zhuge Liang saw Guan Yu go, he called out again, "Where is Yide?" When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately jumped out and shouted, "Here!" As a result, Liu Bei rolled his eyes. However, Zhang Fei turned a blind eye, looking at Zhuge Liang, waiting for his mission. Seeing this, Zhuge Liang immediately said, "Yide leads a thousand troops to ambush the Boling Ferry. The water here is the slowest. After Cao's army is flooded, he will definitely escape from now on, and he can take advantage of the momentum to fight out!" Zhang Fei smiled and said with a smile: "Get order!" He took the order and went there diligently.

At this time, Zhuge Liang called again: "Zilong, Zihan!" Xue Bing immediately stepped out of the queue and replied: "The last general is here!" Zhuge Liang looked at the two and said: "You two lead three thousand troops, divided into five teams, each leading a team to ambush outside the east gate, and the other three teams were ambushed in the west, south and north. Before the ambush, there were many flammable objects such as sulfur on the houses in the city. When Cao's army entered the city, they would rest in the houses. After dusk, there would be strong winds, but when the wind was on the west, south and north gates, they would shoot rockets into the city. When the city fire broke out, the soldiers cheered outside the city, leaving only the east gate empty and let him escape. When Cao's army escaped, you two

The people came out from behind. After dawn, they met with the two generals Zhang and then took the army back to Fancheng." Zhao Yun and Xue Bing heard this and said, "Get the order!" Then Zhao Yun received the order arrow and turned around and left the city guard. Then Zhuge Liang ordered Liu Feng and Mi Fang to take two thousand troops, half of them with red flags and half with green flags, and to camp in front of Quewei slope thirty miles outside Xinye City. As soon as they found that Cao's army had arrived, the Red Flag Army was on the left and the Qing Flag Army was on the right, Cao's army would be confused and dare not chase after him. Then you two were ambushed separately, and when the fire broke out in the city, you could chase and kill the defeated soldiers. The two took the order and left, and the rest followed Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang looked for a high place, looking at the overall situation, and waiting for the good news.

Xue Bing followed Zhao Yun and went to the barracks to order three thousand soldiers and horses. Then Zhao Yun ordered his subordinates to find more fire-driven objects. He and Xue Bing waited quietly in the camp. This busyness was busy until night, waiting for everyone to place the fire-driven objects. It was already late at night. Zhao Yun and Xue Bing each led 500 soldiers to ambush outside the east gate, while the rest of the soldiers were ambushing in the other three gates. At that time, Zhao Yun still said to Xue Bing: "You captured Yu Jin last time and made great contributions, but this time I saw me make great contributions!" Xue Bing smiled and said: "Last time I got separated from the general Yu Jun army and got lost, but I didn't want to meet Yu Jin. That time, God made a contribution.

"When Zhao Yun heard this, he smiled and said, "Zi Han is too polite. Why don't you and me make a bet?" Xue Bing was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What are you and I bet?" Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "Let's bet on tomorrow's battle, who can capture the general of Cao's army? Do you dare not?" Xue Bing thought for a while. "The one who will come to this tomorrow is Cao Ren, and the pioneer is Xu Chu. None of these two are easy to mess with, and they are not so easy to catch." Thinking of this, he knew that the bet was probably a draw, so he replied, "Okay! Let's bet with the general!" After saying that, he clapped Zhao Yun as a force, and each led his troops to rest.

On the second day, Xue Bing hid outside the east gate from the morning, looking at the city with her eyes wide open, hoping that the famous fire burning Xinye would quickly burn. In fact, he knew very well that the fire would have to wait until dusk to burn, but he could not suppress the excitement in his heart. Xue Bing spent the day in this painful torment. In the afternoon, people gradually came from Xinye City, and there were some horse neighing sounds mixed with. Xue Bing said in his heart: "It seems that Cao's army has entered the city. Now, after the wind blows at dusk, you can ignite the city!"

Looking forward, Xue Bing, who was idle, actually looked at Zhao Yun. However, after searching for a long time, he could not see how Zhao Yun hid the troops, because he could not see a trace of flaws. Time passed by his random thoughts. When Xue Bing came to his senses, there was chaos in Xinye City, and even outside the city, he could clearly see the sky-storming fire rising in the city. Xue Bing hid outside the city, and could clearly hear the shouts, screams, and even the crackling sounds of the fire burning the houses.

At this time, there were shouts of killing sounds in the west, south and north gates of Xinye City. When Cao soldiers heard the sound, they became more and more chaotic. Soon, they saw a small group of Cao soldiers rushing out of the east gate. Gradually, the number of people increased. Until a quarter of an hour later, when the generals of the Cao army began to rush out of the city with a large number of soldiers, Xue Bing knew that the time was coming. He pointed the spear in his hand forward and shouted at the soldiers beside him: "Kill!" The soldiers around him seemed to have been infected and passed the "kill" one by one. Five hundred soldiers seemed to emerge out of thin air, and were led by Xue Bing to kill them.

At the same time, Zhao Yun on the other side also led his army to kill. Cao Bing, who had just escaped from the burning Xinye City, had not had time to be glad that he had escaped from the fire, was even more panicked by the shouts of killing. Most of the soldiers took down their colleagues in a hurry, and many soldiers were trampled to death by their own people in chaos. When Xue Bing led his men in, Cao's army could not organize any effective resistance and could not stop Xue Bing's troops at all. Xue Bing took the lead, and these five hundred

The soldiers penetrated straight into the Cao army like a sharp knife. The Cao army soldiers were only escaping their lives, and no one resisted. Xue Bing rode on the horse, constantly waving the spear in his hand, but they didn't know how many people had been stabbed to death. In addition to Xue Bing, Zhao Yun's troops also rushed in. Many of the 100,000 troops had been burned to death by the fire, and were attacked again in the chaos. For a moment, people were on their backs and horses were overturned, and their broken limbs and arms were flying all over the sky. If it weren't for the few people under Xue Bing and Zhao Yun's men, I'm afraid that all the tens of thousands of troops would have to be explained here.

Xue Bing and Zhao Yun killed for a while and found that no general was captured. The captives were basically ordinary soldiers. Moreover, because there were too many enemy troops and they could not kill them at all, half of the troops escaped.

Zhao Yun rode his horse to Xue Bing and smiled, "It's a pity that I didn't catch a general! Where is Zihan?" Xue Bing smiled, "Not mentioning being captured, I didn't even see one!" Xue Bing rushed down the road, and the target was not only the soldiers, but also the soldiers, not even the cavalry, let alone the general. In response, Xue Bing could only sigh in his heart: "The luck like last time is not always there!"
