My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 599 597. A fire broke out at Liyang Ferry, Liu Xie left the camp, and the steam ship appeared (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

As an experienced general, Zhang He had his own intuition.

He surrendered to Yuan Shao from Han Fu. During the Battle of Guandu, he suggested to Yuan Shao that he secretly send light cavalry to cut off Cao Cao's southern military route, but Yuan Shao did not adopt it.

Later, Cao Cao attacked Wuchao, and he suggested Yuan Shao rescue him, but Yuan Shao did not adopt it. Instead, he followed Guo Tu's suggestion to attack Cao Cao's camp.

Until the end of the Battle of Guandu, he naturally surrendered to Cao Cao. Then, he followed Cao Cao in attacking Yecheng, conquering Guan Cheng, and defeating Wuhuan, and was named General Pingdi by Cao Cao.

For him, Cao Cao's trust in him was something he had never felt in all his years in the army. Now that Cao Cao had given him the task of guarding Liu Xie, he naturally did not dare to neglect it.

Not long after our own army left Yecheng, military supplies were attacked by surprise, apparently by the enemy.

Fortunately, the military rations have not been completely transported, otherwise, this battle would not have to be fought, and they could go back home directly.

In this case, Liu Xie can't have any surprises.

Two days ago, Cao Cao told them that they must protect Liu Xie and not let anything happen to Liu Xie, because they suspected that Liu Bei might send someone to assassinate Liu Xie.

Although he was confused, he agreed after the visitor explained the reasons.

Liu Bei needs the name of a military leader, and Cao Cao also needs it. If Liu Bei really has a counselor or general who is so radical, Cao Cao will be passive.

There was nothing unusual near the camp, and Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, it's bad! Liyang Ferry was also attacked by fire!" Two quarters of an hour later, a guard came to report in a hurry.

Liyang Ferry also suffered a fire attack?

Zhang He looked to the south, and sure enough, there was another burst of fire.

Le Jin and Yu Jin came riding horses with serious looks in their eyes.

"Most of our army has crossed the river, but Liyang and Baima Ferry were destroyed at this time. Is it too late?" Yu Jin asked.

"The purpose lies with the emperor." If Zhang He was just not sure before, he was sure now.

"Indeed," Le Jin agreed, "if there is a fire at the ferry on both sides, there will inevitably be chaos. It will be much easier to harm the emperor at this time."

"On the emperor's side, the heat is rising again. Doctor Liang has just gone to prepare medicine." Zhang He said helplessly, "But He has strengthened the security again. I don't think there will be any big problem."

"In that case, Na Wenze and Jin should go to the ferry to have a look, and Jun Yi will guard the emperor." Le Jin suggested.

"Alright."

The three of them agreed on this, and Le Jin and Yu Jin took their soldiers and horses to the ferry, leaving Zhang He and most of the soldiers and horses to guard the emperor.

On Liu Xie's side, looking at the direction of Liyang Ferry where there was another fire, although he was confident, he was still worried. A big event was about to happen, and it was impossible for him not to be nervous.

"You follow me." Suddenly, Liu Xie heard Xun Yu's voice, and Xun Yu was looking at Liu Xie calmly.

Liu Xie was stunned, then bowed his head and agreed, and followed Xun Yu step by step.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhang He looked at Xun Yu and the guards and chamberlains behind him, and said helplessly, "General Zhe Chong and the others have gone to the ferry. Please wait for them to come back."

"The return of the emperor is a big deal. If something like this happens on the road, it is necessary to investigate clearly. Furthermore, although the emperor is ill, he needs to know the big and small matters." Xun Yu stopped and returned.

Zhang He was even more helpless and could only nod.

Xun Yu used to be Cao Cao's strongest supporter, but now Xun Yu is Liu Xie's supporter.

Whether it was past friendship or official position, he could not refute Xun Yu.

After looking at the people Xun Yu was leading, he let them go with a wave of his hand.

He never thought that Xun Yu would escape with Liu Xie.

In the night, Liu Xie just lowered his head and felt nervous.

He had not seen many of Cao Cao's generals, and since he was wearing the clothes of a chamberlain and had his head lowered, it was unlikely that he would be recognized.

When he followed Xun Yu out of the camp, he almost jumped for joy. Although the road was difficult, he took the first step!

The old god Xun Yu was there, leading Liu Xie and other guards towards the ferry. He did not expect that the planned commotion would actually burn down the ferry.

That's it, the Baima Town side, Liyang side was also burned down, and then reconstruction would be another expense.

In the night, on the river, a whining sound came from a distance.

"What is that sound?" Most of the northern soldiers had never heard the sound of a steam engine and were confused.

"What a strange sound! It's coming from across the river!"

"The fire is not out yet, don't discuss unnecessary matters!" Le Jin shouted.

In addition to the large amount of tung oil at Baima Ferry, there is also tung oil at Liyang, but the amount is not large, but it is more than enough to burn a ferry.

Logically speaking, military supplies are closely guarded and such problems should not arise.

He and Yu Jin came over to investigate and found that the guards who were guarding the supplies were actually drunk in the town and not at the ferry at all.

He was so angry that he beheaded the guards and put out the fire with his guards.

In any case, let’s put out the fire first.

Across the river.

Cao Cao also heard the whining sound from a distance, and frowned, "Go and send someone to find out what the sound is."

"promise."

He also got news about the fire at Liyang Ferry.

Fires broke out at the ferries on both sides, making him wary.

This means that if someone wants to attack Liu Xie's army, he will not be able to support him at all.

"Liu Xuande, do you really want to risk the disapproval of the world?" Jia Xu's previous guess once again appeared in Cao Cao's mind.

"Father, the fire at the ferry cannot be extinguished for the time being," Cao Zhang came over, "Now there is also a fire at Liyang. Someone wants to do harm to the emperor. Please father allow me to lead the troops to cross the river at night."

"There's a fire at the ferry. How to use it?" Cao Cao looked at his son and asked.

"Haier asked the nearby villagers that there is a gentle place on the river bank where you can also board a boat. However, the night is dark at this time, and Boyer can't take many people with him."

Cao Cao thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Cao Zhang took the order and left.

It was only half an hour after Cao Zhang left that the guards came to report that the whine came from the river, it was a big ship!

"What?" Cao Cao was shocked.

A big ship appeared on the river? Is he someone sent by Liu Bei?

What was the purpose of burning two ferries?

"The fire on the shore is soaring into the sky, and it can illuminate the distance. The big ship is all silver and white, not wooden at all!" The guards who came to report were even more panicked, "They have already lined up in the direction of the ferry."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao got on his horse and headed towards the ferry.

When they arrived at the ferry, they found that several generals had ordered some soldiers to board small boats to attack, but they were all knocked away by the enemy's large boats and fell into the water one after another.

"Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister!"

Seeing Cao Cao coming, many people seemed to have found a backbone.

Cao Cao rode on his horse and looked at the giant thing on the river. Countless waves arose in his heart. Is this a steamship?

　As the title.
