After being driven away by Liu Bei, Cao Cao paid homage to my chief military adviser

Chapter 37 Cao Cao: Regret not to listen to Zhongkang's words, the Jinfan bandits attacked Jingzhou, and the warships were completely destroyed!

Just when the banquet in Xiangyang was in full swing.

Xu Chu bid farewell to Chen Mu, rode his horse and raised his whip, and arrived at Wenpin's mansion without stopping.

Seeing that the visitor was Xu Chu, the celebrity in front of the prime minister, Wenpin immediately went out of the mansion to meet him.

"I've heard about the name of the Marquis of the Tiger for a long time, and today I see the real Guo, who is as brave as the tiger!"

Xu Chu was anxious and couldn't care less about politeness.

He cut to the chase and asked straightforwardly:
"I said Zhou Yu would raid Panyang Water Village tonight, do you believe it or not?"

After Xu Chu finished speaking, Wen Pin couldn't help frowning.

He is thinking about feasibility.

The more he thought about it, the more Wenpin frowned, and the faster his heart beat.

Because he discovered that what Huhou said was really possible!
Moreover, once Zhou Yu really attacked Lianquan at night, the prime minister must be defeated!
At this time of crisis, if I, Wenpin, can stand up and turn the tide!
He will surely stand out in front of the prime minister!
The more he thought about it, the faster Wenpin's breathing became.

He raised his head to look at the anxious Xu Chu, nodded and said:
"Huhou, I have been fighting with Zhou Yu for many years."

"Based on what I know about Zhou Yu, he is very likely to send troops to attack!"

"If you're just defending right now, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark, and you are inferior, so be passive!"

"Furthermore, if Zhou Yu's troops make a dangerous move, there will definitely be troops to respond."

"Instead of passive defense, it is better to encircle Wei and save Zhao!"

"In this way, if we can stop the attackers and protect Lianquan, you and I must have done a great job!"

Xu Chu couldn't understand the words that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark, that soldiers make dangerous moves, and there must be a response, encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

All he knew was that Wenpin accepted his invitation!

"Okay! If you can protect Lianquan! I will tell the prime minister your meritorious service!"

"Huhou, how many people are there in our trip?"

Now Wenpin urgently needs a big victory and meritorious service, so that he can stand out in front of Prime Minister Cao.

Therefore, he couldn't wait to rush to Lianquan.

Facing Wenpin's question, Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered.

He didn't get the permission of the lord for this action, and he didn't have a soldier talisman in his hand, so the soldiers he could mobilize were only a few dozen of his warriors.

Thinking that these dozens of people are definitely not enough, Xu Chu couldn't help showing embarrassment:
"The incident happened suddenly, there were no tiger charms, only dozens of cronies."

When Wenpin, who was still full of enthusiasm, heard that there were only a few dozen people, his enthusiasm immediately faded.

"Huhou, what we have to deal with is the Jiangdong Navy. At least ten thousand people are enough."

Xu Chu frowned slightly, doubts in his heart:

"Is the Jiangdong navy really so powerful? My dozens of warriors can be as good as a hundred!"

Wenpin didn't know whether Xu Chu was really stupid or just bragging.

But he didn't dare to offend Huhou, so he could only follow Xu Chu's lead and say:

"Huhou's warriors are naturally powerful, but the Jiangdong Navy should not be underestimated."

"Jiangdong's 81 sailors can safely sleep in six counties and [-] states, which shows the bravery of Jiangdong's navy!"

Hearing this, Xu Chu nodded thoughtfully.

Wen Pin saw that he couldn't ask a fart for a long time. He was eager to make contributions and asked tentatively:

"Huhou, can't you really invite Prime Minister Cao's Tiger Talisman?"

Xu Chu put his hands on his hips and said ambiguously:

"Please... I can invite you, but it will take some effort."

"The situation is urgent, but there is no delay!"

Well, that is, please don't come!

Wenpin sighed secretly.

What should I do now?

The opportunity to do meritorious service that is clearly in front of him, is it going to fly away like this? !
Just when Wenpin was frowning and couldn't think of a way.

Xu Chu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He remembered what Mr. had said.

If you can't get the soldier talisman and can't transfer the prime minister's soldiers, then there are still local soldiers and horses from Jingzhou.

Mr. said that Xu Chu is the prime minister's confidant.

As long as he said he wanted to borrow troops, all the gentry in Jingzhou had to hurry up and donate troops.

Thinking of this, Xu Chu's frowning brows relaxed.

He put his big hand on Wenpin's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Wenpin, I have a way to send troops."

Wenpin was overjoyed and hurriedly asked:

"But can you get the Prime Minister's Talisman?"

Xu Chu shook his head and said:
"Didn't I say that it takes a lot of work to get a soldier talisman?"

"There is no soldier talisman, but aren't the soldiers of the Jingzhou gentry ready-made?"

Xu Chu said half of what he said, and the witty Wenpin immediately understood it.

He widened his eyebrows and said in astonishment:

"Huhou said that you want to borrow troops?"

"Huhou is the prime minister's confidant. If you want to borrow troops, no Jingzhou gentry will dare to refuse!"

The more he said, the more shocked Wenpin became.

"Huhou! You are really brave and resourceful!"

"Who said Huhou is only foolish and brave? You are clearly resourceful!"

Hearing Wenpin's admiration and praise, Xu Chu felt a little embarrassed.

He waved his hand and said:
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Since Huhou said this to Wenpin, he naturally wanted Wenpin to summon the troops of the Jingzhou gentry.

Wen Pin patted his chest and said immediately:

"Don't worry, Marquis Hu, in just a moment, all the soldiers and horses will gather at the prefect's mansion!"

…………

Soon, the summoning order to gather soldiers and horses to protect the prime minister under the name of Xu Chu spread in Jingzhou.

It didn't take long for the Jingzhou prefect's mansion to usher in soldiers and horses that responded accordingly.

"The Kuai family led two thousand soldiers and horses, and obeyed the orders of the Marquis Hu!"

"Pang led a thousand soldiers and horses, and obeyed the Huhou's orders!"

"The Huang family leads three thousand soldiers and horses, and obeys the orders of the Marquis Hu!"

"The Ma family led four thousand soldiers and horses, and obeyed the Huhou's orders!"

"Lead a thousand soldiers and horses from the Xiang clan, and obey the orders of the Marquis Hu!"

"The Yang family leads a thousand soldiers and horses, and obeys the orders of the Huhou!"

Looking at the [-] soldiers and horses collected by various families, Wen Pin showed a look of astonishment on his face.

Although I know that the Jingzhou gentry will definitely contribute troops.

But he didn't expect that in less than half an hour, he could gather [-] soldiers and horses!
To be able to think of such a wonderful strategy in a short period of time, Huhou is really wise!
Wenpin looked at Xu Chu with a little more admiration and respect!
Looking down at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses below the city, Xu Chu showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He patted Wenpin's back heavily with his big hands, and praised:

"Wenpin is really brave and resourceful, no wonder Mr. named you and recommended you!"

Xu Chu's words made Wenpin a little puzzled.

gentlemen?what sir?
Could it be said that he is the prime minister's military adviser? !

Are they Jia Xu and Chen Qun?
Or Xun You and Zhong Yao?
Anyway, no matter who it is, the prime minister's counselor already knows my name, Wenpin!
Xu Chu didn't know that Wen Pin was flattered by his casual sentence.

Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the city, Xu Chu shouted:

"Soldiers, go to the Yangtze River with General Wenpin to stop Zhou Yu's son!"

"I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses!"

………………

Xiangyang banquet.

After drinking for three rounds, all the advisers and generals in the army passed out.

Only Prime Minister Cao Cao stood on the commander's seat.

He was not enjoying himself with wine, and his mood was waning.

"No general in the army can drink!"

"I don't know where Hu'er is? If Hu'er is here, he must be drunk!"

……

Jiangdong water village!

In the tent of the commander in chief of the Chinese army!
Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao and others are all listed.

above the theme.

Zhou Yu tried the secret report, with a faint smile on his face: "Cai Mao and Zhang Yun really went to Xiangyang. The old thief Cao Cao must have never imagined that he just arrived in Jingzhou. I will give him a big gift!"

Han Dang, Zu Mao and many other generals looked at each other when they heard the words, none of them understood the meaning of what the governor said.

suddenly!
They suddenly discovered that many generals were in the tent, but Gan Ning was missing!

"Governor, have you already..." Zu Mao was surprised.

"Hehe~"

Zhou Yu smiled softly: "Before I showed weakness in Jiangxia, Cao Cao thought I was Zhou Yu and dared not attack. Cao Cao has become a proud soldier, and this battle must be won!"

this moment!
Everyone has understood.

The governor must have sent Gan Ning to surprise Cao Jun! ! !
……

Under the Starry Night!

The land of continuous springs!

Above the river!

Small boats appeared on the river like ghosts.

Gan Ning personally led [-] Jinfan thieves to appear in the land of Lianquan.

Since childhood, Gan Ning and these eight hundred Jinfan thieves robbed the village.

And this surprise attack on Lianquan was their forte!
"Brothers, it's time to show your skills!"

"This time, let's boost Cao Cao's memory!"

"Brother, don't worry!"

"Leave it to us!"

The eyes of Gan Ning and the others shone brightly, like mice in the dark.

As the warships gradually approached, taking advantage of the darkness, Gan Ning and others jumped into the water and swam towards the thousands of warships docked on the shore.

Under the Starry Night!

On a warship.

From time to time, soldiers can be seen on patrol.

But... At this time, Cao Jun's soldiers were in full swing, and they decided that no one would dare to attack them.

Therefore, in the process of patrolling, it is also very loose.

In addition, Gan Ning and others were good at concealment, so that the eight hundred Jinfan thieves sneaked into the warship without anyone discovering it.

On deck!

Two defenders were dozing off.

Holding daggers in their hands, the two Jinfan thieves quietly lurked behind and quickly covered each other's mouths.

Before the other party could yell out, the sharp dagger had already slashed across their necks.

next moment!
The two of them closed their eyes reluctantly.

Afterwards, under Gan Ning's order, the Jinfan thieves poured all the fire oil prepared in advance on the warship.

About a stick of incense.

With a whistle sounded.

The Jinfan thieves who had been preparing for a long time threw the fire pockets they had prepared onto the warship one after another.

Boom boom boom!
In an instant!
The fire is raging!

Look around.

The entire river was turned into a boundless sea of ​​flames.

"It's not good! It's on fire!!!"

"Everyone, put out the fire!"

The noisy sound was mixed with the roar of burning warships, resounding continuously.

A soldier rushed into the fire in a hurry, pouring river water on the fire.

But right now, the fire is raging!

It can't be put out at all!

On the contrary, because of the wind, the fire became bigger.

A soldier who dodged and was not in a hurry was once again contaminated with flames in the process of fighting the fire.

"Ah~ hurry up and save me!"

"Help me! Ah!!!"

The screams and cries for help resounded continuously.

The soldiers were covered in flames and kept fleeing, but the fire continued to spread.

But Gan Ning and the others, who had already jumped into the river, looked at the soaring flames with a smug smile on their faces.

"Brother, shall we withdraw now?"

A Jinfan thief asked suspiciously.

"Withdraw? It's not time yet!"

"The show has just begun!"

"I want to give Cao Cao a big meal!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood!

next moment!
Gan Ning and others once again hid in the river...

……

Lianquan!

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who were originally sleeping, suddenly woke up from their sleep when they heard the noise.

When they looked outside, the fire soared into the sky, reflecting the night like day.

"Come on! Come on!!!"

Cai Mao shouted loudly.

"General, something is wrong."

"The warship we built was attacked, and now the fire is soaring..."

Said the soldier in fear.

"what!!!"

Cai Mao roared angrily, "What's going on! Who is it!"

"No...don't know..."

The soldier responded in horror.

"Then what are you still doing here! Hurry up and put out the fire!!!"

Cai Hao kicked the soldier's body, which made the soldier stagger and crawl out in fright.

"It's over! It's over!"

"Who is it! I must catch you and cut you into pieces!!!"

Cai Mao's face was ashen, furious!

Cao Cao sent him and Zhang Yun to build warships and train sailors.

Now that something like this happened, how should he explain it to the prime minister! ! !

Instantly!

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun hurried outside the spring.

At this time, Lianquan Governor Mao Jie and Yu Jin are trying to put out the fire together.

But right now!
The fire is raging, and hundreds of warships have already ignited raging fires.

Even if it is extinguished, it cannot be used again!

The only way now is to control the fire as much as possible to prevent it from spreading to other warships.

"Quickly, quickly mobilize people to put out the fire!"

"If something goes wrong with these warships, you and I will lose our heads!"

Cai Mao shouted anxiously, and Zhang Yun hurriedly ordered the soldiers who came with him to join in putting out the fire.

On this occasion.

While Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were busy putting out the fire, Gan Ning and other Jinfan thieves who had been hiding suddenly jumped out.

shhhhhh!
Dense arrows pierced through the air.

Under the dark night, the flames soared into the sky.

The soldiers had no time to react, and were shot and killed on the spot in an instant.

Puff puff!
Ah~~~
The screams resounded endlessly.

At this time, the soldiers who were busy fighting the fire did not have any weapons in their hands, but only wooden basins, wooden barrels and other objects used to hold water.

It happened that Gan Ning and others charged out with swords in their hands, as if they were in no man's land, wantonly hacking and killing the unarmed soldiers.

"Gan Ning!!!"

The eyes of Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were red, and they were about to breathe fire.

"Kill me! Kill them!!!"

Cai Mao roared angrily.

but!
The soldiers had no weapons at all, and the soldiers rushing to help were still on their way.

a time.

Gan Ning and other Jinfan thieves rushed into the flock like tigers.

Even though the defenders have the superiority in numbers, they have no weapons in hand, and what awaits them is only ruthless slaughter.

Puff puff!
Blood splattered.

From time to time, soldiers were thrown into the fire.

Cai Mao and the others drew out their swords and fought with Gan Ning and the others.

clang!
The sound of the handover of arms suddenly arose.

But before Cai Mao and the others could come back, Gan Ning quickly moved to other places to slaughter unarmed soldiers like a loach.

"hateful!!!"

"Gan Ning! How dare you fight!!!"

Yu Jin also cursed angrily!

But Gan Ning didn't pay attention to the crowd at all, and led the Jinfan thieves to kill them.

About half a stick of incense.

The soldiers who rushed to help joined the battlefield.

"Kill me!"

Cai Mao held his saber in his hand, angrily charged towards Gan Ning and the others.

"Ah!"

Gan Ning chuckled and said, "Today is my gift to you!"

"Brothers, withdraw!"

Following Gan Ning's call, the Jinfan thieves jumped into the river one after another.

Under the dark night.

The river was sparkling, but there was no trace of Gan Ning and others.

"what!!!!"

"Let the arrows! Let me shoot the arrows!!!"

Cai Mao and the others roared angrily.

shhhhhhhh!

The dense arrows shot into the river like a torrential rain, but after a long time, there was no movement.

……

Instantly!

The land of Xiangyang.

Cao Cao is in a state of elation and drunkenness.

"Report!!!"

"Prime Minister, Mao Jie, please see Yu Jin."

The soldiers hurried into the hall and said loudly.

"pass!"

"promise!"

Not long after the soldiers retreated, Mao Jie and Yu Jin rushed into the hall in extreme embarrassment.

"Meet the Prime Minister."

at this time.

Cao Cao was leaning on the main seat, squinting his eyes half-closed, he didn't notice the embarrassment of the two at all, and he was full of drunkenness: "How about Cai Hao and Zhang Yun's military training?"

"You came here at this time, but the warship has already been built?"

Mao Jie and Yu Jin heard the words, their hearts were shocked, they looked at each other, and bowed to the ground in fear.

"The end will be guilty!"

"Just now Zhou Yu sent Gan Ning to surprise the camp, and thousands of warships in Jingzhou were all set on fire!"

boom!
There was a buzzing in Cao Cao's mind.

In an instant, the drunkenness on his face disappeared instantly!
on the main seat.

Cao Cao stared closely at the two with their heads down.

A wave of blood continued to fill his chest.

"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao burst into laughter suddenly, looked at Mao Jie and Yu Jin, and slowly stood up from the main seat.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Cao Cao waved his hands vigorously, and said firmly: "I have millions of soldiers, how dare Zhou Yu come here!!!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You must have lied to me!"

Mao Jie and Yu Jin clasped their fists and bowed, "Prime Minister, we dare not deceive you."

"I implore the prime minister to punish the crime!"

After speaking, the two buried their heads deeply on the ground.

at the same time.

Cao Cao also suddenly remembered what Xu Chu said earlier.

Between staggering.

Cao Cao didn't care to put on his shoes, he walked out of the hall and looked in the direction of Lianquan.

The flames soared into the sky, reflecting half of the sky in red!
this moment.

Even if Cao Cao didn't believe it anymore, he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Deng Deng Deng!
Cao Cao staggered back several steps, and finally fell directly to the ground.

Seeing this, Mao Jie and Yu Jin rushed forward in panic and helped Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, how are you doing?!"

Yu Jin cried out worriedly.

"what!!!"

"I, I have a splitting headache!!!"

Cao Cao wailed in pain.

"Quick, go get the military doctor."

Yu Jin shouted anxiously, appearing a little panicked.

……

And this time.

In the small courtyard where Chen Mu is.

Chen Mu held a jug of wine in his hand, drank it by himself, and looked in the direction of Lianquan.

The fire soared into the sky, reflecting the night like day.

"Hey~"

Chen Mu shook his head and sighed, and said helplessly, "Zhou Yu is indeed a genius in the world, brave and resourceful. Boss Cao may suffer a heavy loss this time."
