Le Jin waved his hands disapprovingly and said: "Why, you still think that Liu Bei's army dares to go out of the city to fight, even if you give Liu Bei that boy two courages, you don't want my mother-in-law and mother-in-law to rush to Xinye tonight and catch Liu Bei off guard."
Seeing Le Jin's determination, the deputy general then advised: "General, it would be better to send a team of troops to investigate."
"Okay, you lead fifty soldiers to investigate. Remember, if there is no situation, return quickly. Otherwise, you will delay the military plane and you will be killed without mercy." Le Jin said.
The lieutenant hurriedly gathered the soldiers and walked towards the valley.
When the soldiers in ambush saw Cao Jun's soldiers walking in, they said to Zhang Fei: "Third General, Cao Jun has walked in. Do you want to fight?"
Zhang Fei slapped the soldier next to him and scolded: "What do you know? Seeing that there are only a few dozen of these soldiers, they must be here to observe the situation. He ordered his brothers to hide themselves so that Cao's soldiers can't find them."
.”
"I didn't expect that the military advisor had two brushes and knew that Cao Jun was leaving from here." Zhang Fei muttered.
After exploring the valley, the lieutenant hurriedly retreated.
"How is it?" Le Jin asked.
"There are a lot of weeds in the valley, so it's best not to go in," the deputy general said.
"This general is asking you if there are any enemy troops inside?" Le Jin said dissatisfied.
"The time was too short and we didn't investigate clearly," the deputy general said.
"Okay, let's order the army to move out. I understand that Liu Bei doesn't have the courage to come." Le Jin said, his tone full of confidence.
"Third General, Cao Jun is really here this time." the soldier said softly.
"You don't need to tell me, I'm watching." Zhang Fei slapped the soldier again.
About a quarter of an hour later, Cao Jun had completely entered the valley. Zhang Fei was about to order the soldiers to attack when he suddenly remembered the brocade bag that Zhuge Liang had asked him to carry before leaving. He was very curious, reached into his arms, took out the brocade bag, and carefully
After watching it carefully for a moment, he smiled and said, "What a good plan."
At this time, Zhang Fei remembered why Zhuge Liang asked the soldiers to carry more rockets when the army was setting out. It turned out to be for this purpose.
Zhang Fei gave an order, and all the arrows in the hands of the archers were replaced by rockets, which were fired at the soldiers of Cao's army below. The weeds in the mountains were hit by the rockets, and a fire immediately broke out.
The soldiers were a little panicked when they were walking in the dark valley, but now they suddenly saw such a change, the formation was in chaos, the soldiers in the front were eager to exit the valley, while the soldiers in the rear who didn't know why were still pushing forward, pushing forward.
Despite all the pushing and shouting, without Zhang Fei taking action, Cao's soldiers had already begun to suffer casualties.
In front of the fire, the elite soldiers of Cao's army showed a side they had not usually shown, and panicked. Le Jin's order could not be conveyed at all. At this time, the 5,000-strong army had completely entered the valley, and it was difficult to turn around.
Seeing the chaos below Cao Cao's army, Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said: "Cao Cao, how dare you despise our army, I will let you all die here tonight."
Dense arrows rained down on Cao Jun. When Le Jin finally escaped from the valley, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers around him, and there was a vague sound of soldiers chasing him from behind. He did not dare to neglect at the moment and hurriedly led the army.
The soldiers retreated, not as high-spirited as when they first arrived.
Guan Yu lurked behind Le Jin, opened his eyes and watched Le Jin walk into the valley, and then heard the sound of fighting coming from the valley. He knew that it was time for him to take the field, so he opened the bag of tips given by Zhuge Liang. After taking a look, he understood in his heart that he was right.
Zhuge Liang's contempt has also been reduced a lot. With this skill alone, it is not a bad idea for Zhuge Liang to become the military advisor of the army. However, the arrogance in his heart made Guan Yu think that Zhuge Liang was a blind cat that encountered a dead mouse.
"Lead a thousand men and beware of the arrival of Cao's army from the rear." Guan Yu ordered, and then led a thousand soldiers to attack Cao's army. There were wolves in front and tigers in the rear. Cao's army was gutted and had no fighting power at all.
Originally, there were only a few hours' journey from Lejin. After Xiahou Dun heard the movement in front and the light of fire, he secretly thought something bad and hurriedly led his soldiers to help. Guan Yu resisted and killed him for a while. Because it was in the dark night, he didn't know what to do.
Without too much entanglement, they each stopped fighting.
When Zhang Fei and Guan Yu returned to Xinye, they saw Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others waiting outside the city gate. The sky was just getting bright.
Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said: "Congratulations to the two generals on your victory."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's the military advisor's plan. I, Old Zhang, have accepted it. If anything happens in the future, as long as the military advisor gives the order, Old Zhang will never frown."
Guan Yu stepped forward and said, "Thank you so much, military advisor."
Looking at Guan Yu's expression, Zhuge Liang knew that he still had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he didn't point it out. He helped Zhang Fei up and said with a smile: "It's all for my lord, let's talk about thanking you. Drinks have been prepared in the city.
General, hurry up and enter the city."
"Could it be that the military advisor knows that we will win if we go?" Zhang Fei asked puzzledly.
"Haha, when Cao's army arrived, they must have neglected to take precautions and advanced rashly. If General Zhang and General Guan go out together, they will definitely win. My lord has said that both of them are the men who have beheaded generals among all the troops.
"Zhuge Liang said.
Zhang Fei felt great after hearing this, and his previous resentment towards Zhuge Liang completely dissipated.
After hearing the losses reported by Le Jin, Xiahou Dun's face suddenly darkened. It was true that he and Le Jin were quarreling, but he could not tolerate Liu Bei's rampage. He immediately ordered all the soldiers to go, but was persuaded by Le Jin. The five thousand troops before him had already
There were more than a thousand people left, but nearly 4,000 people were lost before they even got close to Xinye. No one knew whether there would be any more ambush ahead.
"Young Liu Bei, how dare you bully me like this?" Xiahou Dun said angrily.
Le Jin said: "I have betrayed my lord's trust in my humble position, so I will go to the army to plead guilty. I hope the general can win and wash away the shame of my humble position."
Xiahou Dun surprisingly did not take the opportunity to humiliate Le Jin, but instead comforted him.
The two quarreled in the army and had a good relationship in private. The fight on the surface was actually to make the soldiers have a higher fighting spirit.
After hearing the news from Le Jin, Cao Cao saw the dejected Le Jin and said dissatisfiedly: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists, so why bother about it? You will lead 10,000 troops and horses to capture Xinye."
"
"Thank you so much, lord, for not taking Xinye City. I humbled myself and came to see you." Le Jin's heart was filled with excitement and he clasped his fists.
"The general will take the head of Liu Bei's son, but you should keep it to serve the army." Cao Cao said with a smile.
Le Jin high-spirited and led 10,000 troops to rush to Xinye. When he arrived at Xinye, all he saw was an empty city. There were traces of burning everywhere in the city. The secret passage was not good. Could it be that General Xiahou captured the city?
The Lord ordered the city to be burned. Before leaving, the Lord repeatedly warned his soldiers that they must strictly restrain their soldiers and not invade the people in the city, so as to avoid the fierce resistance in Xuzhou again.
When he saw Xiahou Dun, Le Jin was shocked. What kind of attire was he wearing? Even the surrounding soldiers were like this. One corner of the military flag was missing, and there were still traces of fire on it.
"General, what's going on?" Le Jin asked in confusion.
Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and said: "My son Liu Bei, Zhuge Fu, I will not give up until I cut you into pieces."
It turned out that when Xiahou Dun led the army to Xinye, the people in the city had already evacuated under Liu Bei's organization, leaving only an empty city.
A fire broke out, blocking Cao's army's retreat. Although they could barely hold their ground, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu led a charge and killed countless people. In the end, the city looked like this after Le Jin arrived.
"Zhuge Pifu?" Le Jin was panic-stricken. Even if it were him, he would probably walk into the city without hesitation. Even if it was an empty city, it was still a credit. He didn't expect Liu Bei to be so ruthless as to set fire to the city.
"Zhuge Pifu is the counselor Liu Bei invited recently." Xiahou Dun said, Zhuge Liang's sarcastic laughter before leaving was like lingering in his ears.
"This matter should be reported to the Lord as soon as possible." Le Jin said.
Xiahou Dun had a bitter look on his face. He didn't expect that before, he was willing to go in to plead guilty, but in the blink of an eye, he was replaced by himself. He didn't know if Cao Cao would be angry.
"Zhuge Liang?" Cao Cao asked, "Does anyone know this person?"
"My lord, Zhuge Liang is more like Guan Zhong and Leyi. His name is Mr. Wolong. He lives in Jingzhou. Although he is young and has made quite a statement, he has been living at home and has not yet become an official. I heard that Liu Bei went to invite him out of the mountain three times." A counselor said.
He stepped forward and said.
"Zhuge Liang? He's just a villager. He's still talking about Guan Zhong Leyi. It's simply an insult to the sages." Cao Cao snorted coldly.
The counselors did not dare to speak out against Cao Cao and stood aside. Under Cao Cao's tent, there were countless counselors who dared to speak out against Cao Cao. Xi Zhi was one of them, Xun You and Xun Yu were the same, but other counselors did not have the courage.
"My lord, Liu Bei has a heroic appearance and should be eliminated early, otherwise he will sooner or later become an obstacle to our army's attack on Jingzhou," Xi Zhicai said.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Well, the most important thing now is to capture Nanyang, and then send troops to Jiangling. Most of the money and food in Jingzhou is stored in Jiangling. If Jiangling is captured, it will be equivalent to breaking Liu Biao's arm."
, it will become easier to take down Jingzhou."
"My lord, there is a letter from an official in Yanzhou, saying that Yuan Shao wants to ally with our army to jointly resist the Xiliang army." Xun Yu said.
"Alliance? It's just that Yuan Shao can't defeat the Xiliang army." Cao Cao said disdainfully.
"My lord, if there is a loss in Jizhou, the Xiliang army will definitely send troops to the Central Plains. It will be really disadvantageous for our army. It is better to send reinforcements."
Cao Cao waved his hands and said: "There is no need for this. Jizhou has hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers. It cannot be captured by the Xiliang Army overnight. By then, our army will have occupied the entire land of Jingzhou, and a battle with the Xiliang Army will be inevitable."

The second update is here, I hope you all can support it.
