Chapter 134 Burning Cao Bing
Liu Bei talked aside about Xiahou Dun's injury, but did not mention Zhang Fei and did not report it. He only said that Lu Bu was recruiting troops recently and his ambition was quite good.
It is also said that Xiao Pei has few soldiers, but is willing to provide supplies for the army.
Cao Cao did not make things difficult for Liu Bei, but just cheated Liu Bei of 10,000 stones of wheat. That's it. After all, you must have clear goals in doing things. Beating Lu Bu is just a beating Lu Bu. If you bully Liu Bei too ruthlessly, Liu Bei turned around and joined forces with Lu Bu, then Cao Cao would suffer.
As soon as Cao Cao's soldiers arrived in Xiaopei, Lu Bu had already led his troops to wait in Pengcheng.
If you want to go to Xuzhou from Xiaopei, you must pass through Pengcheng. The west of Pengcheng is a mountainous area, with many mountains along the roads and dozens of miles of mountain roads.
Lu Bu planned to ambush Cao Cao here again. Xuzhou is now underway to carry out major construction, so there is no time to fight with Cao Cao, so this battle requires a quick battle.
The response in the Xuzhou army was still very good. At least it was not afraid of war. First of all, there was enough food and grass. Pengcheng and Xuzhou all had stored food and grass. Secondly, there were many soldiers and generals. Although they were all new recruits for three or two months, they became more courageous when they were too many. In the end, the Xuzhou army implemented the military merit system, and soldiers made great contributions in wars were directly rewarded. Even if they did not make great contributions and went through the motions, they could participate in a battle. After three years, they could divide the house.
Because there are military farms and vegetable fields everywhere outside Xuzhou City, Lu Bu did not want the Cao bandits to go and ruin them. So when he received the information from Cao bandits, he immediately made arrangements. Gao Shun led his troops back to Teng Kingdom, which was a western resident of Langya and Dongguan, guarding the important roads.
Chen Gong stayed in Xuzhou, and Lu Bu led the main force to rush to Pengcheng to defend against the enemy and outside.
Cao Cao's army rested in Xiaopei for a day and set off a camp early the next morning. Xiahou Yuan went first and found eighteen scarecrows on the official road at the border of Pengcheng.
When Xiahou Yuan saw that his lungs were so angry that he exploded. There was a notice saying that Cao Cao killed more than 100,000 villagers by the Sishui River. In order to commemorate this incident, the local villagers committed the death of Cao Cao in eighteen.
All eighteen scarecrows were carefully made of straw, and the handicrafts were very exquisite, and it was obvious that they were made by the Fushi Shop.
Eighteen straws represent Cao Cao. There are 18 ways to die in total, called the eighteen deaths of Cao thieves.
There are arrows piercing the heart, silver spears stabbing the throat, a sky lantern, a spear tip, a hanging, etc. The working people fully utilized their wisdom and created these eighteen thieves to die.
Xiahou Yuan was about to kill him with a sword, but his subordinates stopped him: "This represents the lord, so let's report it before talking about it."
Cao Cao came soon and sat upright on Xiaoyao's horse. After Cao Cao saw it, his head buzzed and almost fell off his horse.
"Lu Bu is so bullying." Cao Cao roared.
Jia Xu quickly persuaded: "This is Chen Gong's traitor, in order to make the lord lose his mind. Let's act carefully, take down Pengcheng first, and then go to Xuzhou."
Cao Cao calmed down and said, "Take these scarecrows and burn them, and then behead them if you talk nonsense."
"yes."
Five hundred cavalrymen first explore the way forward and strictly prevent ambush and sneak attacks.
Xiahou Yuan ran very fast all the way. After running dozens of miles, he arrived in Pengcheng, but he did not find any ambush.
Cao Cao led a large group of troops to move forward slowly, less than ten miles.
The road ahead passes through a valley. The road is very narrow and can only accommodate a carriage. The green weeds on both sides grow to the knee deep.
Jia Xu said: "This place is narrow and there are many grasses, so we must guard against fire attacks."
Cao Cao laughed: "If the grass withered and yellow in autumn, I would definitely not dare to enter easily, but now the grass is lush and a piece of green can no longer attack fire."
When Jia Xu saw that, he was also very green on the roadside.
Cao Ren, pioneered the way, Cao Cao was in the middle, and behind Xu Chu's palace.
The army slowly entered the valley.
On the ridge on the north side, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others were watching, watching the army entering.
Zhang Liao was a little worried and said, "Lord, can this green grass burn?"
"Don't worry, I've tried it by the river and it's burning very hard."
It turned out that Lu Bu was ruthless and exchanged thousands of barrels of hot turmeric oil. This was the lamp oil used for hand lanterns. A small amount of secret things were added to it. After Xiahou Yuan led the snoop over, Lu Bu ordered people to fall on the green grass on both sides of the valley.
The team of 20,000 people was several miles away. When most of the time came in, a soldier suddenly said, "Why are the feet sticky and there is still a smell."
The soldiers didn't take it seriously, but when Xun Yu heard it, he quickly said, "Lord, the situation is wrong, turn around and return immediately."
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Lu Bu could no longer wait, so he ordered the messenger to blew the horn of the horn.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The rocket flew down from the ridge and plopped into the grass.
The green grass suddenly burned and the fire started. At first, it was just oil burning, but the grass was quickly dried and the grass was burning.
Smoke and fire are the most life-threatening.
It may not be burned, but the smoke will kill people.
Cao Bing suddenly became in chaos and ran away like a headless fly. Xu Chu's team had just begun to enter the valley and ran away, with the smallest losses. Cao Ren was the most unlucky, and he danced in the fire one by one.
"Set a fire, set a fire and burn it all." Cao Ren's brain was still very calm and immediately ordered more fires to be set, not to mention that the lamp oil was poured evenly, and Cao Ren escaped. However, there were many soldiers around Cao Cao and he was unlucky. The rockets focused on taking care of him, and it instantly became a sea of fire. Cao Cao turned around and ran away, trampling on each other.
Lu Bu laughed on the ridge: "Am, don't run away, I will invite you to have a barbecue, hahaha."
Cao Cao was so angry: "Lu Bu's husband, I will capture you alive sooner or later."
"Lord, go quickly." Xun Yu rode a horse and urged Cao Cao.
There are no big trees in this valley, just green grass. When the turmeric oil burns, it will be extinguished quickly.
"Blow the trumpet and charge." Lu Bu issued an order to attack the general attack.
Condescending, like a tiger.
Zhang Liao went from the north and Hao Meng went from the south, attacking each other from the two sides, and Cao Cao ran towards Xiaopei.
Suddenly, Lu Bu led the cavalry to kill from a gentle slope. Lu Bu was surrounded by cavalry and many powerful generals, Feng Xiong, Hua Ji, Lu Tong, Xu Shitou, Pu Feng, and Cao Ping.
The personal guards around Cao Cao were not given in vain. If you have something to do, you will stop the fight.
The hard bar opened, and Lu Bu was in hand and picked up six Cao army cavalry, shouting: "Those who capture Cao Cao alive will be rewarded with two taels of silver."
"Those who capture Cao Cao alive will be rewarded with two taels of silver."
There is a saying here that a woman who is doing a half-closed business in Huajie Liuxiang can still be worth two taels of silver, so Cao Cao is only two taels of gold.
Cao Cao was so angry.
Lu Bu's cavalry was brave and killed Cao Cao's army had no ability to resist. He ran along the valley and was in chaos. The soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers. Many people were killed and surrendered.
"The one wearing a red robe is Cao Cao, two taels of silver rewarded." Someone shouted.
Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this and quickly threw away the red robe.
"The one with a beard is Cao Cao, so you can't let him run away." Xuzhou iron cavalry chased after him.
When Cao Cao heard this, he pulled out his sword and cut his beard short.
The soldiers could not find obvious targets, after all, there were too many chaotic troops.
Three thousand Danyang soldiers also came on, with shields and steel axes in one hand, chasing and attacking fiercely.
Annihilate or capture a soldier and reward one hundred yuan for rewards. Some brave Danyang soldiers have a string of ears hanging around their waists. They were originally calculated by the head level, but they were struggling to hold the monsters, so they used their ears instead.
