Chapter 2015: The smoke from the kitchen cannot rise, and the camp remains empty.
If Xia Houyuan had not had those previous experiences, he might have gradually grown into a good general, but now he is anxious, and once people are anxious, they will easily become impetuous.
Just like Zhang Fei, he was also very impetuous and had a short temper. Historically, Liu Bei lost Xuzhou when he was fighting against Lu Bu. After learning the lesson, he developed his later small kung fu, but he still couldn't hold it back later.
Even I got involved...
When facing big events, you should be calm.
This sentence is definitely not nonsense.
The things that everyone encounters and the problems they encounter in this world may be different, but the behaviors they display may be consistent. Just like every family is different, and the cars are also different, there are good and bad.
However, you will see many people doing the same thing, like to jump in line when turning, as if this can make them feel happy.
And what’s very interesting is that these people who want to jump in line do not think that they have done anything wrong. They will even get angry when others do not allow them to jump in line, thinking that others are hindering them. Why are they not allowed to jump in line? Why not?
Should I give myself some face? Didn’t I already turn on the turn signal?
It is not you who is wrong, but the whole world.
I control my own life!
I want that day and that place, what can you do to me...
Just like the later generations often call for entertainment first, and always advocate the need for this and that pleasure. Those who only pursue pleasure one-sidedly, there is a high probability that there are some problems.
Xia Houyuan felt that he had done nothing wrong. Even if he had made a mistake, he had been punished, so naturally he was right. Should he still be punished for one mistake?
Xia Houyuan wanted to jump in line, and he thought that Cao Chun had interrupted him before, so now he was going to jump back in...
As for Cao Cao's thoughts, or the rules and interests of the entire Cao Group, Xia Houyuan certainly knew it, just like those who forcibly cut in and merged at the solid line of the turn. He also knew that it was wrong to do so, but when he did it
But they will subconsciously ignore it. At most, they will find an excuse for themselves, such as being in a hurry or something.
Xia Houyuan was anxious, and he also felt that he was in an emergency. Shouldn't it be urgent for an official to be restored to his original position, or even promoted to a higher level? How could he wait in line obediently for such a thing? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to get ahead?
Xia Houyuan liked the feeling of riding a horse galloping, and then giving an order, and thousands of people would follow. He also didn't like the title of General Baidi. He felt that everything should be changed immediately, immediately, instantly, so even though it had been discussed before
He wanted to wait and take another look, but early the next morning, Xia Houyuan still couldn't wait and rushed up to the city wall before it was fully light.
The sight is not good on cloudy days, everything seems to be gray. The black-gray sky, the blue-gray mountains, the white-gray fog, everything seems to have lost the colorful colors that normal spring should have, and has turned into a gray theme.
.
Xia Houyuan walked back and forth a little anxiously, and then turned his head from time to time to look at Zhao Yun's camp in the distance where a giant beast lay, waiting for the new smoke to rise today.
Although it was impossible to see where the sun was, as the light increased, the scenery in the distance gradually became clearer. However, there was no trace of the smoke that was expected to rise.
"What's going on?" Xia Houyuan lay on the battlement and tried to stretch his head forward, as if he could see more clearly if he stretched out a little more distance.
"What time is it now?" Xia Houyuan shouted.

The soldiers on the side quickly went to the city gate tower to see the inscriptions, and came back and said: "General Qi, it has already passed Mao hour..."
"What time!" Xia Houyuan stared at Zhao Yun's camp in the distance, "What time?!"
Normally, the meal should be finished at Mao's hour, waiting for the general to order the day's military operations, but Xiahou Yuan still hasn't seen any smoke...
Could it be that I am dazzled?
"Did you see any smoke rising from the kitchen opposite today?" Xia Houyuan asked, looking around.
Cao Jun on guard at the top of the city shook their heads.
That’s not because I’m dazzled, it’s true that I’m not...
Why not? These guys under General Hussars have cultivated to the point where they don’t need to eat anymore? What a joke!
Xia Houyuan angrily slapped the green bricks on the city wall and shouted: "Jushou! You've mistaken me!" Then he turned around and ran down the city wall.
Not long after, Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun climbed onto the city wall again.
"There is no smoke in the Hussar camp today!" Xia Houyuan pointed to the distance with his finger and said through gritted teeth, "The decrease in smoke yesterday means that most of them have been evacuated the day before yesterday. The absence of smoke today means that all of them have been evacuated last night! I dare to say that this
There must be no one in the Hussar camp at that time!"
Cao Chun frowned, then turned around after a moment and said, "How was the scout detection last night?"
"General Qi... this... little one doesn't know..." the commander on duty at the city head reported hesitantly. It's not that the commander on duty didn't know, but he didn't dare to say anything.
I really don’t know? Is it possible? Didn’t you hear or see the screams outside the city from time to time last night, and the bloody scouts who fled back?
No one wants to take the blame. After all, not just anyone can be the leader of the cooking squad, so Cao Jun's scouts suffered heavy losses last night. The commander on duty didn't want to report it immediately. If it was reported, he would have to go down to conduct reconnaissance.
What should he do? After all, his responsibility is to protect the city wall, not to fight those ghost-like cavalry scouts in the dark.
"Send the scout camp troops to come!" Cao Chun glared at Qu Chang, but didn't say anything and gave another order.
The scouts came in a hurry and fell to the ground, "General Qi... Last night, Erlang suffered heavy losses last night. Qu Chang, Qu Chang was also seriously injured..."
"In that case, why don't you retaliate?" Cao Chun made a sound from between his teeth.
The scout camp commander trembled, "Before, before... also..."
As for the repressive nature of the scouts, the repressive nature of General Hussars is undoubtedly very strong, so Cao Jun's scouts have always been at a disadvantage. Although they increased the number of scouts detected last night, they also did not get any good results. In addition,
There have always been a lot of injuries, so Cao Jun's scouts can't be replaced, and their quality has deteriorated.
To put it simply, he was already used to losses and damage, and the scouts didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, if the report was made late at night, he might have to take the blame himself.
Cao Chun took a breath and said, "Have you ever entered the enemy camp to conduct reconnaissance?" From a normal perspective, it would not be a big deal for the hussars to be so defensive, but if combined with yesterday's reduction, it was a deliberate attempt to cover the battlefield, causing Cao's army to
Unable to know the details of what it means.
The scout camp commander almost burst into tears, "It's not that I'm incompetent, it's that I really can't rely on you..."
"Come here! Drag me down, I will punish you twenty times!" Cao Chun couldn't bear it anymore and kicked the scout camp commander who was kneeling in front of him.
Xia Houyuan looked aside with his chest folded and sneered. He added another crime to Cao Chun in his heart, "incompetent in running the army." After a while, he tilted his head upwards and said in a lukewarm way:
"Zihe, don't stop now!"
"You want to go out of the city to pursue me?" Cao Chun turned to look at Xia Houyuan.
Xia Houyuan nodded and said: "It's natural! Why, now that things have happened, Zihe still doesn't dare?"
"If there is an ambush..."
Cao Chun was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xia Houyuan with a wave of his hand, "Yesterday I blocked you three times, but you still say the same thing today! If you don't want to, just let it go! When the lord asks, you are determined to stop me, and you have the intention to let the cavalry go."
Return to the west!』
After saying that, Xia Houyuan raised his legs and left.
Because Xia Houyuan has been deprived of military rights, Cao Chun's approval is required to send troops. However, it is obvious that Cao Chun does not want to bear this responsibility, so he hopes that Xia Houyuan will take some measures to "resist the order" and then win.
Although I am happy, the defeat is not Cao Chun's fault.
But now Xia Houyuan is taking advantage of him...
Cao Chun's expression changed again and again. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun's camp in the distance, which was silent and motionless. Finally, he gritted his teeth and yelled: "Wait a minute! Stay here, the talented man!"
……(*?Д?*)(￣(?)￣)……
Several shrinking Cao soldiers approached Zhao Yun's camp. They were a little frightened when they saw the flags flying over the camp. Then occasionally, the light and shadow behind the camp shook, which made these Cao soldiers feel as if they were attacked by a physical entity. They wanted to stab their heads immediately.
Go into the soil.
After dilly-dallying, procrastinating and procrastinating, the closer they got to Zhao Yun's camp, the more bold Cao's soldiers became. After getting close to the camp wall, they began to hang the lasso on the wall and climb up.
Not long after, we approached the top of the camp, stretched out our head and looked around for a while, then turned over and went in.
Xia Houyuan paid full attention.
Cao Jun beside him was also holding his breath and concentrating.
Suddenly, a three-color flag was thrown down from the wall of the village, and then half of the scarecrow was also thrown down. He was so excited that his voice almost broke. "It's empty! It's empty! It's empty, cough, cough, cough..."
…』
Xia Houyuan was overjoyed and determined. He waved his hand, and Cao Jun suddenly shouted, rushing to the front, as if to dispel all the fear of facing the hussars and horses during this period, and destroyed them three times and two times.
The camp gate was bolted and opened, and everyone rushed into the camp screaming.
Inside the camp, all kinds of messy items were strewn about, obviously caused by the hasty retreat.
Most of the tents are still there, but some of the tents closer to the west have been removed. They are empty, with only some rags and ropes left, which are blown around by the wind.
The abandoned cloths seemed to be very dirty, and there were also some scattered pieces of wood. Of course, this was normal. After all, most people would not abandon the items if they were not shabby.
The central tent in the middle of the camp is still there, perhaps because the target is too obvious, and Cao Jun is afraid that if it moves, it will be discovered by Cao Jun.
As if celebrating the New Year, Cao Jun spread out in the camp with laughter and noise, and began to collect various flags left on the ground and in the tents, collecting all kinds of useful linoleum cloth, rags, and some
Molded wood, etc. The best is naturally the flag surface, which can be used as a quilt and can be shown off...
Because these things were distributed in a chaotic manner, Cao's army dispersed unconsciously.
For most people, no matter what they harvest, it can be enough for them to show off. Look, back then I killed the Qiaoqi people and fled like shit. Look, this is the trophy I grabbed back then...
…
The shouts of joy filled the camp and were so deafening that even the birds on the mountain were so frightened that they flew up and stayed there for a long time.
Cao's army had dispersed and dispersed into the camp.
Zhao Yun's camp itself was more of a cavalry camp, occupying a large and spacious area. Xia Houyuan's two thousand men were scattered among them, picking up a piece of cloth in the east and half-body armor in the west, and were very busy.
Amid the commotion, Xia Houyuan dismounted from his horse and stood in front of the Chinese army's tent that originally belonged to Zhao Yun. He was proud of himself for a moment, and then stepped forward with his head held high.
Continue to pursue? Haha, Xia Houyuan is not that stupid. What if a horseman is killed on the way?
But it’s good now. Anyway, is there any success in breaking the camp and capturing the flag?
In this way, what did Cao Chun gain by defending Yuyang?
After guarding for a long time, there was no gain at all, and although my side lost the west camp of the city, it also destroyed the Zhao Yun camp? In this case, who can say that someone is incompetent and is General Bai Di?
As for the pursuit? Haha, naturally the responsibility lies with Cao Chun. If Cao Chun hadn't stopped him and adopted Xia Houyuan's suggestion yesterday, Zhao Yun would not have been allowed to leave so easily!
Therefore, it is not that he did not pursue the pursuit, but that Cao Chun was timid and incompetent and delayed the opportunity to fight!
As Xia Houyuan walked into the tent of Zhao Yun's army, he even unfolded the manuscript of the seal in his mind, preparing to read Cao Chun's copy, at least to expose Cao Chun's timid and fearful nature to the world!
When people are excited, they often only see some things and ignore other things.
Xia Houyuan is no exception. His entire attention is now on the camp, and his mind is immersed in the feats he is about to achieve.
This is General Pingbei's tent!
Hahaha, General Pingbei was defeated today! No matter how he was defeated, he was defeated in front of someone!
Huh? After Xia Houyuan received the money, he couldn't help but be stunned.
In Zhao Yun's big tent, the table, desk, horse and other things were not taken away. There was actually a screen standing, with black and red paint, decorated with gold and silver carvings.
Move them all! Be careful, don’t break them! Wait! Don’t worry, I told you to move them later!”
His men were hurriedly preparing to step forward, but were stopped by Xia Houyuan. He wanted to experience the comfort of General Pingbei's position. Xia Houyuan staggered to the screen, then turned around, straightened his sword, sat down, and pressed his hands on the screen.
On the desk, he coughed twice.
The clever one among Xia Houyuan's guards stepped forward and prostrated: "See General Pingbei!"
"Ah ha ha ha..." Xia Houyuan laughed and waved his hands, "Hey... not yet, we can't call it that... OK, let's do it and move them all away!"
"General! General!" Suddenly a soldier shouted from outside the tent, "In the camp, many clay pots of kerosene were found in the camp!"
"What?!" Xia Houyuan's expression changed, and when he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt some dust falling from the sky above the tent and landed on the table. Xia Houyuan looked up, and after being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help shouting and slapped him
He overturned the table to the ground and was about to rush out when he suddenly felt something strange on the soles of his feet. When he lowered his head and looked down, he discovered that under the table was a palm-sized clay pot that had been overturned! And on Xia Houyuan's skin
The boots have already stepped on a puddle of black oil!
"No! We've fallen into a trap!" Xia Houyuan ran outside, shaking the black oil on his boots desperately, and then tried to rub the black oil off, "Quick! Quick! Send the order! The whole army retreats! Retreat quickly."
!』
Among some shrubs far away from the camp, some vegetation stood up strangely, and then a human figure was revealed, raising a long bow. And on the long bow, arrows hung with fire cloth were ignited.
, and then drew a gorgeous parabola in the air and landed on the top of the tent in the camp!
The flames of the rockets that did not fall on flammable objects were very small, and they seemed to be extinguished in the next moment in the wind. They did not pose much of a threat. However, not long after, several rockets were stuck in the kerosene.
As soon as you take a breath, fire rises into the sky!
Cao Jun, who was collecting supplies everywhere in the camp, looked around in confusion at this time and realized that something was wrong.
If the people Cao Chun allocated to Xia Houyuan were all veterans of hundreds of battles, then even if Xia Houyuan did not give the order, he would more or less be able to detect anomalies and act accordingly based on his instincts on the battlefield. However, there was only a small number of these Cao soldiers.
Some, that is, the ones who discovered the kerosene first were veterans, while the others were recruits or local Yuyang county soldiers. In comparison, they were naturally much inferior.
When some veterans of Cao's army immediately discarded the things in their hands and began to assemble, these new recruits still didn't know where to put the things they had finally snatched from their hands. They even forgot to put their own weapons in such a hurry.
Where is it... In fact, the weapon he just put down is behind him. Unfortunately, he can't find it even after turning left and right...
The flames burst into flames!
The messy rags and thin wooden strips were quickly ignited, and for a moment everything seemed to be burning...
In fact, Zhao Yun's camp is very large, and there are not many places that are actually burning. It's just that water and fire are ruthless. After all, they are what humans are afraid of. In a moment of panic, not everyone has the potential to be a firefighter, and they can set fire around them from time to time.
While rising, you can still calmly observe where you land.
Zhao Yun and Gan Feng came from a distance, each with more than a thousand cavalry. It would take some time. If Xia Houyuan could adjust his troops in time, he would have been able to fight. However, the troops were rising everywhere in the camp.
The flames made it difficult to execute even the most basic assembly orders smoothly. Cao Jun's soldiers were in a mess on the left and in a group on the right.
The three-color flags rushed towards, Zhao Yun and Gan Feng howled, like two sharp edges of scissors, heading towards the chaotic Xia Houyuan's troops to strangle!
"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!" Xia Houyuan completely forgot about his heroic words before, nor what he was thinking about just now. He only thought of one thing, Zhao Yun is coming!
He couldn't beat Zhao Yun head-on one-on-one, let alone in such a hectic situation...
And there is something even more terrifying about Xia Houyuan. If he can't get out of danger quickly, maybe Cao Chun can justly close the city gate and refuse him to retreat into the city!
