Chapter 598 596. Fire on Baima Crossing (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

Sima Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not answer.

On the real battlefield, he couldn't guarantee that his strategy would work.

Liu Bei has many advisers, including Huang Yueying, a female hero. Naturally, he will not underestimate them.

Seeing this, Xu Shu said nothing.

In this battle, although Cao and Liu were close in strength, there was still a big gap. In terms of hard power, their side definitely had the advantage.

However, Cao Cao asked Sima Yi to control the troops in Hedong and Hanoi, which indeed exceeded everyone's expectations.

As a result, Luoyang and Chang'an will not be able to deal with it so easily.

Liyang.

Liu Xie wore the clothes of a chamberlain and was still hiding in the military tent nearby.

Cao Cao has crossed the river, but the false emperor is still ill, attracting everyone's attention on his behalf.

Whether it is Liang Imperial Physician, Zhang Changshi, or Xun Yu, they are all on his side now.

As long as he can successfully escape, Cao Cao will be defeated.

By now, he was sure that his chances of escaping were high.

He has been in this military tent for two days, and Cao Cao has not found him, which means that this plan is feasible.

In addition, "he" was ill, so Cao Cao had to arrange to cross the river, but he definitely put him last, which gave the conditions for the implementation of the plan.

So, he just hopes that everything goes well.

There is a dense forest at a turning point somewhere in the lower section of the Yellow River.

Gan Ning looked at the wide river and once again marveled at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature. He looked to the west, waiting for news from Liyang.

According to current inquiries, Cao Cao has already led people to cross the river, but with an army of 200,000, plus the carriages of the emperor and officials, family members and luggage, etc., there is nothing that cannot be solved in three or four days.

According to the plan, the emperor has successfully "sick", then the emperor's frame will fall at the rear. At that time, it will be his opportunity.

"General! Today's news has arrived." Wang Wu ran to Gan Ning with the news he had gathered today.

Gan Ning took it and nodded, "Okay, Cao Cao's troops crossing the river are only 12/10, so don't worry for now. Tell the people at the ferry to wait until the emperor's carriage and guards are finally left before taking action."

"promise."

Two days later, most of Cao's army had crossed the river, leaving only the emperor, hundreds of officials and the emperor's escorts.

Soon, the sun sets and night rises, and the summer breeze finally takes away a lot of the heat.

The soldiers of Cao's army finally took a breath after a busy day. Not everyone can adapt to crossing the river.

Cao Cao ate together with the civil and military generals in the main tent to boost morale.

Most of his generals have never faced Liu Bei's army directly, and with the reputation he has accumulated over the years, no one has much fear of Liu Bei's army.

After dinner, the generals talked and talked, and then planned to set up a ring for their soldiers to compete, and the winner would be rewarded.

Cao Cao was naturally happy.

A few years ago, Xu Chu was also injured. Now he is thin and no longer as brave as he used to be. Without Xu Chu, he would not be able to rest assured when he goes on an expedition.

Recalling Zhao Yun's white robe and silver spear, he even felt a little irritable in his heart.

If he could find another brave general before the official war started, he would feel more at ease. However, a fierce general like Xu Chu was not so easy to meet.

Under the light of the bonfire, soldiers continued to compete, and there were cheers from all around, and the atmosphere was very lively.

"Father, I want to go up there and give it a try." Beside Cao Cao, Cao Zhang spoke to his old father.

Cao Cao laughed, "Why should Huang Xu'er be anxious?"

When Cao Zhang thought about it, it seemed like it was the same.

There are always brave men in this army of 200,000. When the time comes, it will not be too late for him to take the field again and compete with the brave men.

"What the Prime Minister said is that the Third Young Master should not be anxious." Beside him, Jia Xu also agreed. It is true that Cao Zhang is brave, but among these hundreds of thousands of troops, is he the most brave?

Looking at the personal guards around Cao Cao, Jia Xu probably knew what Cao Cao was thinking.

Martial arts competitions on the school field produce warriors with a lot of money, and at the same time, it can also boost morale.

Sure enough, under heavy rewards, brave men will emerge. Cao Cao happily rewarded the three brave soldiers with official positions and let them join his personal guard. In this way, he finally felt a lot more at ease.

Cao Zhang also won five games and was praised and rewarded by his old father.

It was getting late, so Cao Cao ordered everyone to disperse. After all, they had to march tomorrow.

At midnight, Baima Ferry.

"In these warehouses, tung oil and ointments are piled up." In the night, someone said to his companions beside him, "According to the plan, all these tung oils and ointments need to be destroyed."

"It's Jane who was destroyed. It's just a matter of fire. It's just a pity."

"There is no way, we are short of manpower here."

Opening the door of the warehouse, there were barrels of tung oil placed in piles. The two of them opened a barrel and spread the tung oil everywhere.

Then he followed the same example and sprinkled tung oil on various warehouses.

A small piece of fire fell on the oil star.

With a bang, the flames spread everywhere instantly.

The two looked at each other and quickly retreated.

Cao Cao, who had just planned to go to bed, had not yet fallen asleep, but felt something strange outside, with a red light shining from a distance.

I was shocked. When I left the military tent, I saw flames rising into the sky in the direction of the ferry, which seemed to have burned a hole in the night.

"Prime Minister! There's a fire at the ferry!"

"Quickly put out the fire!" Cao Cao calmed down.

He didn't think it was an accident that something like this happened at this time.

In the direction of Liyang Ferry, the remaining Cao army also received news that there was a fire at the White Horse Ferry.

"The summer is hot and sultry. The tung oil and ointment were all moved here some time ago." Yu Jin also darkened his face, "It must have been done by someone sent by Liu Bei."

"The armor of Liu Bei's army has the most fire attack. If the tung oil is burned at this time, we will be at a great disadvantage." Le Jin's expression was not good-looking.

They were ordered by Cao Cao to protect Liu Xie.

Because Liu Bei would definitely send people to fight for Liu Xie, they did not feel that they would miss the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

But at this moment, looking at the firelight reflecting in the sky more than ten miles away, neither of them felt better.

Without tung oil, their disadvantages will be further magnified.

Behind the two of them, Zhang He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and watch the emperor."

Yu Jin and Le Jin were shocked and both nodded. Although they didn't think Liu Bei could do anything to the emperor who was still behind, it was always better to be careful.

The fire at Baima Ferry caused panic in Liyang, especially among the old officials of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie, wearing the clothes of a chamberlain, looked at the fire in the distance and felt happy because the opportunity had come.

"Your Majesty's fever is rising again, please quickly call for Dr. Liang!" Queen Fu shouted loudly from the emperor's carriage.

Zhang He, who had just arrived, had a headache, and Liu Xie was in poor health. Fortunately, Dr. Liang was with him these days. Otherwise, he didn't know what he would have done in the middle of the night.

After ordering his soldiers to protect the emperor, he patrolled the area.

　As the title.
