"Haha, there is no need to guard the city. I will just stay in the city and wait for your triumphant return." Zhuge Jin replied with a smile.
Mi Fang said angrily: "We all go out to kill the enemy, but the military advisor is sitting in the city. Isn't this too ironic?"
Tian Yu hurriedly said: "General Mi, how can you talk about the military advisor like this? The military advisor is a scholar and cannot go into battle to kill the enemy. He can just stay in the city..."
"Why, who said that the literati can't kill people? The literati can kill with borrowed swords. The military advisor sent us all out because he borrowed the Chu army's sword to kill us. The Chu army has so many troops outside the city. If we go there, wouldn't it mean that we are going to die?
?" Mi Fang snorted coldly.
Tian Yu said: "General Mi, didn't the military counselor say that the enemy's troops outside the city are bluffing, with only three or four thousand soldiers and horses. If we attack the enemy at night, we will definitely win."
"How do you know that we will definitely win? If this kid with a yellow mouth fails to calculate correctly, then won't our entire army be annihilated? In my opinion, as long as we hold on and don't have to fight, we may be able to wait until the lord comes to rescue us."
Mi Fang said.
"Hahaha, okay then, please ask General Mi to hold on in the city. I will personally lead the troops out of the city to fight. But if we are going to win, this feat will not be as good as General Mi's. Please keep it in mind, General Mi."
"Tch! I won't covet this little credit!"
"Well, General Mi will stay in the city. There are currently two thousand soldiers in Xinye City. General Tian and I will each lead 500 soldiers out of the city to fight. General Mi is asked to stay in the city. In addition, Mr. Yi Ji can assist General Mi.
How does General Mi feel about this arrangement?" Zhuge Jin asked.
Mi Fang said: "This is good."
Tian Yu opened his mouth to say something, but when Zhuge Jin shook his head, he stopped saying anything.
Mi Fang said: "If the military advisor has nothing else to do, I will leave first. I still have a lot of things to do."
Zhuge Jin said: "Well, go ahead, but General Mi please remember to bring five hundred troops to the south gate at midnight tonight."
"I know this well. I will not leave Xinye City alone." Mi Fang said and went down from the tower.
When Tian Yu saw Mi Fang leaving, he said to Zhuge Jin: "Military advisor, five hundred per person, isn't that too little?"
"Quite a lot, just right. Since Mi Fang doesn't want to go out of the city to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, I have to come here in person. General Tian, please go down and give orders to the soldiers and horses in the headquarters and let them have a good meal. In the meantime, allocate them to
I'm half, I'll fight out from the south gate, you fight out from the north gate, and then set fire to the camp and kill the enemy in the same direction, just to retreat the enemy, not to kill the general."
"No, I understand."
……………………
Mi Fang returned to the north gate, still angry all the way. He looked down on these literati and always thought they were right. Of course, he was very angry with Liu Bei for appointing Zhuge Jin as military advisor without any investigation. However, he did not dare to directly ask Liu Bei
Venting would only make Zhuge Jin look bad.
In addition, when he thought that he had followed Liu Bei for so many years, without any credit or hard work, he was not as high as a new kid, and he actually let that kid take care of him. He couldn't swallow this feeling.
Returning to the north gate, at the entrance of the barracks beside the north gate, he suddenly saw Yi Ji waiting there in a long robe, and asked, "What is Mr. Yi doing here?"
When Yi Ji saw Mi Fang coming, he smiled and said, "Oh, I had nothing to do at the county government office, so I just walked around casually. Who knew that I would end up here? I heard from the soldiers that the general is going to the south gate. Already?"
"Well, I went, so what?"
"Haha, what did the general say? Of course I can't do anything to the general, but now that the enemy is facing us, the general needs to be more careful." Yi Ji said with a smile.
"Don't worry, sir, I will know what to do naturally. If you have nothing to do, please go back to the county office."
Yi Ji said: "Did the general encounter something unpleasant? Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can enlighten the general."
Mi Fang is very repulsive to literati. Of course, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong are the exceptions. After all, they have been together for so long and everyone knows each other. He is just sulking and angry about why Liu Bei gave the post of general advisor to Zhuge Jin. , instead of giving it to his brother Mi Zhu.
"No, sir, please go back. Please come here in time. I will allocate five hundred troops to sir to defend the city at the south gate. Oh, this is the military advisor's order!" Mi Fang's words were full of gunpowder.
Yi Ji naturally knew that this was Zhuge Jin's order. He came to the north gate because of Zhuge Jin's order. He turned around and left, smiling: "General Mi, just wait and see the Chu army defeated tonight. This is a great achievement."
"Wait...how do you know it's a great achievement?" Mi Fang said suspiciously.
Yi Ji smiled and said: "General, if you don't believe it, you can watch it by yourself in the rest of the night."
Seeing Yi Ji leaving, Mi Fang sneered and said to herself: "This is a bunch of rabble, just waiting to be killed by the Chu army, a bunch of self-righteous fools..."
……………………
Chu army camp.
Pei Qian and Han Song were having a drink in the main tent. They toasted to each other and enjoyed seeing each other.
"Mr. Han, does it take so much effort to deal with Liu Bei? Li Feng's soldiers and horses are just a bunch of rabble. According to me, five thousand people can kill Liu Bei to pieces." Pei Qian was drunk and laughed. He said.
Han Song shook his head and said: "General Pei's words are wrong. Liu Bei is a hero of the world, like a giant dragon trapped in shallow water, and Jingzhou happens to be the place where he can use his strength. Once the dragon enters the abyss, it will be immeasurable. Pei Generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei are all fierce generals in the world. They can take the rank of general in an army of ten thousand people. Such fierce generals need to be careful."
Pei Qian was slightly drunk and sneered: "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei is just a martial artist, how can An compare with me? I have learned the art of war since I was a child, dancing with spears and swords. Although my martial arts are not mediocre, if you give me two hundred man, I can capture Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The names of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are just bragging. They say that Guan Yu killed Lu Bu. He probably killed Lu Bu only after he was at the end of his rope, trapped in a tight siege, and suffered serious injuries all over his body. Otherwise, with Lu Bu's bravery, how could Guan Yu be his opponent?"
"General Pei is drunk, and it's getting late. I think it's better to just let it go," Han Song said.
"I'm not drunk! I can still drink a few more bottles of wine. Mr. Han, you and I are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope now. You can't jump me, and I can't jump you, haha..."
Han Song looked unhappy and asked, "What are General Pei saying?"
"Mr. Han, please don't be angry. The others have gone to ambush Liu Bei. We are the only ones here to drink and have fun in peace. Days like this don't come every day. If we don't enjoy ourselves in time, isn't Mr. Han just wasting his resources?"
Han Song saw that what General Pei was talking about was just drunken talk, so he didn't care. He stood up slowly and turned to leave.
Suddenly, there was a scream outside the camp, and the fire suddenly jumped up. Han Song was startled and hurriedly went out of the tent to take a look. He saw the fire outside the camp soaring into the sky, and he didn't know how many enemies came in the dark night. He only saw the shaking figures.
.
"Yes, the enemy attacked the camp at night. Liu Bei's reinforcements must have cleverly avoided the ambush and rushed to the new fields." Han Song's face was anxious, and he suddenly looked panicked.
"Why panic? I'm here!" Pei Qian stood up, swaying around, and came to Han Song's side with a long sword in his hand.
Seeing that Pei Qian was so drunk that he couldn't fight at all, Han Song said: "General, please order the troops to withdraw as soon as possible. Maybe it's too late."
"Don't retreat! The whole army will fight. I will kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei..."
The Chu army had five thousand soldiers. In order to confuse the enemies in Xinye City, they set up ten camps outside the city. There were five hundred people in each camp. They had been surrounded all night. Everyone was a little slack and deeply aware of the situation.
I knew that the enemies in Xinye City would not come out, so I didn't take much precautions.
On a dark and windy night, once the fire started, it got out of control. Taking advantage of the wind, it quickly spread to the nearby camp. Some of the soldiers who were still sleeping in the camp had no time to escape and were engulfed by the fire.
Some of them abandoned their helmets and armor, and as soon as they ran out of the camp, they encountered the enemy and were killed directly.
Tian Yu divided his five hundred men into five hundred-man teams. Each team attacked a large camp, mainly setting fires and killing people secondarily. The same was true for Zhuge Jin. A thousand-man troops came in handy in the chaos, but they did not
There were no casualties.
Pei Qian insisted on fighting at the main tent, but was forcibly taken away by Han Song's men. As soon as they left the camp, the fire quickly spread to the main tent, which was really dangerous.
Outside Xinye City, flames soared into the sky. All ten camps of the Chu army were swallowed up by the fire, but only more than 3,000 soldiers were taken out of the 5,000 soldiers. The rest were either burned to death by the fire or killed by the enemy, but that was it.
Of the more than 3,000 people who escaped, not even ten of them were properly dressed.
There were five hundred horses in the camp. When the fire broke out, the five hundred horses panicked, broke their reins, and ran away without a trace. Even Han Song and Pei Qian walked out of the camp.
of.
On the north gate tower of Xinye City, Mi Fang stared at the flames outside and stayed there. All this was simply unbelievable in his eyes. He never expected that he could so easily defeat the people who surrounded Xinye for a whole day.
The Chu army spent one night, and with just a flick of the finger, everything was reduced to nothing.
"Zhuge Jin... no, it's the military advisor... the military advisor is really amazing..." Mi Fang was so impressed that she fell to the ground in admiration, and she also felt filled with regret in her heart. She shouldn't have treated Zhuge Jin like that.
"General Mi."
While Mi Fang was in shock, she suddenly heard a child's voice behind her. He turned around quickly and saw Zhuge Liang standing there for no apparent reason, so he asked, "Did you call me?"
