Three Kingdoms

Chapter 11 Zhuge Liang Burns Xinye

Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei was training his army in Xinye, and wanted to wipe out Liu Bei in one fell swoop.So he sent Xiahou Dun to lead [-] troops to attack Liu Bei.

Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to use tactics to resist Cao Jun.Zhuge Liang was afraid that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not listen to his orders, so Liu Bei handed Zhuge Liang the sword he was wearing, and asked Zhuge Liang to order him to kill anyone who refused to obey the order with the sword.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had no choice but to obey Zhuge Liang's orders.

Zhuge Liang took the sword Liu Bei gave him and issued orders in front of the entire army, saying: "Guan Yu led a thousand troops to ambush to Anlin in Yushan. When Cao Jun killed him, just let Cao Jun go. When Cao Jun's food and grass arrived, set fire to it." That's it. As soon as Zhang Fei saw the fire burning in the south, he would come out of the ambush valley and set fire to Cao Jun's food and grass. Guan Ping and Liu Feng led [-] soldiers to prepare gunpowder and wait in ambush on both sides of Bowang Slope. As soon as Cao Jun arrived, he set fire to them. Zhao Yun led the troops to lure Cao Jun into the encirclement. Don’t defeat him, just pretend to be defeated. The lord also led the troops to lure the enemy into the ambush circle. The troops from all walks of life should follow what I just said Do it and nothing will go wrong."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't listen to orders at first.Liu Bei persuaded them.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had no choice but to lead the way.

Xiahou Dun led a hundred thousand troops to kill them aggressively.When Xiahou Dun saw Zhuge Liang using troops like this, he became self-righteous and didn't take Zhuge Liang seriously at all.Xiahou Dun underestimated the enemy and advanced all the way.

Zhao Yun first led the troops to lure the enemy.Xiahou Dun fought with Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun pretended to be defeated.Xiahou Dun commanded the army to pursue Zhao Yun.At this time, Zhao Yun disappeared, and Liu Bei went out to lure the enemy.Xiahou Dun wanted to catch Liu Bei wholeheartedly, but he led the army to chase after him desperately.

Guan Yu saw that all the troops in front of Cao Jun had passed, so he killed Cao Jun from Anlin in Yushan and burned Cao Jun's food and grass.When Zhang Fei saw the fire in the south, he also rushed out, beheading several Cao generals.Liu Bei's army attacked Cao Cao's army head to tail, and Cao's army was defeated and fled.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had to admire Zhuge Liang's talent, and they both apologized to Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Liang forgave them for disrespecting him in the past.

Liu Bei was afraid that Cao Cao would personally lead the army to attack again.Zhuge Liang also made suggestions for Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei could capture Jingzhou and replace Liu Biao.Liu Bei didn't want to fight in the same room.At this time, Cao Cao had led 50 troops to kill in the direction of Jingzhou. Liu Biao was frightened to death by the ferocious Cao army in Jingzhou City.

Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei to lead the troops back to Fancheng first.Then, Zhuge Liang used the strategy of attacking with fire to defeat Cao Jun.

Cao Cao redeployed troops and generals to besiege Fancheng, and sent Xu Shu to persuade Liu Bei to surrender.In order to take care of the overall situation, Liu Bei led more than [-] ordinary people to seek refuge in Jiangling.But Liu Bei could only walk more than ten miles a day with the old and the young, and Cao Jun was chasing after him, and the situation was dangerous.Zhuge Liang sent Guan Yu first to Jiangling to move rescue troops and ships to meet him.But after going for a long time, Guan Yu did not come back, so Zhuge Liang decided to go and see for himself.

As soon as Zhuge Liang left, Cao Jun came to kill him.Liu Bei was trapped and lost his family.Zhao Yun decided to go single-handedly to save Liu Bei's family.

Zhao Yun rushed into Cao's army, invincible and unstoppable, and rescued Liu Bei's son Adou.

Zhang Fei stood alone on the Changban Bridge. No one in the Cao army dared to challenge Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei roared, and Cao Cao's general Xia Houjie was frightened to death by Zhang Fei.Cao Jun was frightened by Zhang Fei's ferocity and retreated a few miles.Zhang Fei didn't chase either.Cao Jun immediately chased him back.
