Three Kingdoms: The Crown Prince of Wei, betrothed to Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

"And slow!"

"What's wrong with Cangshu?"

"Uncle, my nephew thinks I should send someone in to investigate one or two." Cao Chong gave advice.

"Hmm~" Cao Chong nodded abruptly, "Not bad, not bad, Cang Shu's words are reasonable." "

"At the beginning in White Wolf Mountain, if there was no Cangshu to be careful, it would be difficult to say whether it would have won or lost."

Cao Chun recalled the last northern expedition to Wuhuan, and it was Cao Chong's caution at a critical moment that prevented the army from being ambushed.

"Uncle has won the award, nephew is just timid." Cao Chong said modestly.

"Haha~" Cao Chun laughed when he heard this, "Are you timid? When you cut the third child, I can't see the timidity. "

"Hehe..." Cao Chong could only laugh awkwardly.

"Come on, send a few teams into the city to find out." Cao Chun waved his big hand.

"Oh."

Several squads entered the city, and about a moment of incense went and returned.

"Report!"

"General Qiyu, Gongzi, the city is empty."

"Then let's go into the city!" Cao Chun ordered.

"Wait!"

"Huh?" Cao Chun was puzzled: "What happened to Cangshu?" "

"Uncle, do you say that the other party will play fire attack?" Cao Chong gave an example: "The last time the vanguard was attacked by fire to break the enemy, Liu Bei will not deliberately abandon Xinye and lure our army into the city, so the technique will be repeated." "

There can be Zhuge Liang on the other side, which Cao Chong knows very well in his heart.

Youdao is the three fires of the new official taking office, and the word comes from Zhuge Liang, burning Bowangpo, burning Xinye, and burning Chibi.

"This..." Cao Chun smiled and said, "Cangshu has a lot of heart, even if it is a fire attack, there must be a little fire person, right?" "

"The city is empty at the moment, where does the fire come from? Could it be that we burn ourselves? "

Cao Chun's words are very reasonable, if you want to attack by fire, someone must be responsible for setting fire, it is always impossible to "make fire out of nothing", and Xinye's spontaneous combustion out of thin air is completely unreasonable.

Cao Chong also understood this truth, but out of "respect" for Zhuge Liang, he still felt that things were not so simple.

"This way." Cao Chong said: "How about my nephew go in and go around in person?" "

Cao Chun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, be careful to sail the 10,000-year ship, anyway, there is no harm." "

Knowing that this nephew was smart, Cao Chun could basically listen to Cao Chong's suggestions.

"Uncle is wise and follows the flow of advice." Cao Chong smiled and hugged his fists.

"Less, go quickly." Cao Chun couldn't help but laugh and scold.

The harmonious relationship between the main and deputy generals is always the most important thing.

Cao Chong must ensure that his advice is listened to every time, and he is willing to cooperate with him, so it is more convenient to cooperate.

"Go."

Cao Chong grabbed the belly of the horse and headed towards Xinye City.

Dian Man, Xu Yi left and right, the three brothers of the Ding family accompanied them, and the hundred camps were supported on the left and right.

Distance.

"The dog entered, this Cao Jun is really careful." Zhang Fei crawled on a small dirt slope, observing the situation in Xinye from a distance.

"I just lost 20,000 troops, and I will remember it for a long time." Guan Yu on the side spoke.

"It's really desperate, hurry up and get in." Zhang Fei scolded, and said with some concern: "The other party will not find problems after repeated inspections, right?" "

"Third brother rest assured." Zhao Yun on the other side spoke, full of confidence: "The military master's whimsy, the other party will definitely not find out." "

"To be honest, when I learned of the arrangement of the military master, I was shocked, I didn't expect that the fire attack could still be played like this."

"The military master is indeed very intelligent." Guan Yu echoed: "The other party categorically can't find out, and when it does, it's too late." "

"Get on in! Burn it! Zhang Fei's broken thoughts in his mouth seemed very urgent.

City.

Cao Chong looked around a courtyard trying to spot something out of the ordinary.

But it is a great pity that nothing was found, nothing was found.

At this time, Ding Yi came to the front and hugged his fists and said, "Gongzi, the camp has returned separately, and they all mean that they have not found anything unusual." "

"Cellars, wells, roofs, sewers, have these places been inspected?" Cao Chong asked.

"Hui Gongzi, all have been checked." Ding Yi replied in the affirmative.

People were needed to light the fire, and there was no one in the city, so Cao Chong thought that the other party must be hiding.

Hide in a place that is not easy to find, wait until you are asleep, and then sneak out to light a fire.

But the results of the current search are very different from expectations.

"Didn't Wolong arrange it?" Cao Chong fell into deep thought.

At this time, Ding Xiao came to the front again and handed over his hand: "Gongzi, the general sent someone to urge." "

"Back to Uncle Yu, just say that I am checking the last room and will go out immediately" Cao Chong added: "Don't let my uncle in until I go out." "

"Oh." Ding Xiao waved his hand to signal a soldier to deliver the message.

"Why is Gongzi worried?" Ding Yu was puzzled, "There is nothing strange in the city." "

"Yes!" Cao Chong's eyes froze, "No strangeness is the biggest doubt!" "

The three brothers of the Ding family looked puzzled, and did not understand what Cao Chong meant.

"Look." Cao Chong pointed to the courtyard and said: "The courtyard is orderly, there is no clutter, and the streets in the city are the same. "

"Let me ask, under normal circumstances, when we hear that our cavalry is coming, the Xinye army and civilians hurriedly withdraw, can it be kept so tidy?"

The three looked at each other, and their hearts were suddenly full of doubts, and they each gave their opinions.

"Indeed, this doesn't seem to want to escape from Shinye at all."

"Even if the military can maintain discipline, it is difficult for the people to maintain it."

"Even if the people are in order, something will always fall when they retreat."

"So neat, it shows that they didn't panic when they left." Cao Chong put himself in his shoes and figured out the enemy's mentality.

"Not only not panicking, but also confident, and even sure to win!" Cao Chong asserted: "There is definitely a trick, send someone to inform my uncle that the army is stationed outside the city. "

"Oh."

After the order, Cao Chong began to personally investigate this courtyard.

This is the most luxurious mansion in the city, and it must be Liu Bei's residence.

And once the Cao army is occupied, it will definitely be occupied by the highest ranking general, and Cao Chong concludes that there must be something tricky here.

Main hall, bedroom, toilet... Cao Chong checked them one by one, but still found nothing.

"Cangshu!" Cao Chun strode in from outside, "But what clues did you find?" "

"There are doubts, but the root cause has not yet been discovered." Cao Chong quickly explained his doubts.

Cao Chun nodded again and again after listening to it, "Cangshu has a point, recall that there is no clutter in the streets of the city, and it doesn't look like running for your life at all." "

"Have you settled outside the city?"

"Cangshu rest assured, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang are leading the army, and they will definitely not come in without your order." Cao Chun immediately asked, "How is it going now?" "

"I can be sure that there is a problem with this place, and there is only one room left that has not been investigated." Cao Chong pointed to a place and said.

"Then don't wait, let's go in and take a look."

"Hmm."

The group hugged the two and entered the last room.

"What does this smell like?" As soon as he entered the door, Cao Chong asked.

"Oil!" Cao Chun didn't hesitate.

Looking around the room, it is not surprising that it is a kitchen, and it smells of oil smoke.

Everything was normal in the kitchen, very cleaned up, as if after the previous meal was done, the cook cleaned up as usual.

"It is completely predictable that the departure of the other party is not a panic flight, but an orderly retreat." Cao Chong was even more sure of what was in his heart.

Normally speaking, when the war came, the people dragged their families and fled, it must be a chicken flying egg, a panic, and a mess after evacuating Xinye.

Now, even Cao Chun can see that there is a big problem, but unfortunately he can't find the root of the problem.

"Cangshu, since you can't find the reason, it's better to station outside the city." Cao Chun suggested: "There are cats in the city, but there are definitely no outside the city, as long as we don't fall into the trap of the enemy army, there will definitely be no problem." "

"Uncle's strategy, old and heavy." Cao Chong bowed his head slightly, "But my nephew wants to find out the reason, and maybe he can give the enemy army a plan." "

"It makes sense, but where is the problem hidden?" Cao Chun was puzzled.

"Suppose, Shinno is a trap set by the enemy." Cao Chong began to reason, "The other party's purpose must be to defeat and kill me. "

"However, the tiger and leopard ride elite and fast, normal means will definitely not work."

"If you want to win with weakness, it is nothing more than fire and water." Ding Yi spoke at the right time, "Either flood the city or burn the city." "

It has always been weak to defeat the strong, and it is impossible to escape the two tactics of fire and water, plus a broken grain road.

The grain road of the cavalry is guarded by cavalry, and the pawns cannot be broken at all, so that water attacks and fire attacks are left.

Ding added: "There are no big rivers around Xinye, and the river is far from the city, so water attacks can basically be eliminated. "

"Then there is a fire attack left." Ding Yu had a headache and said: "Going around in circles, it seems to be back to the original point, how can no one light the fire?" Can't we order it? "

"Maybe it's really us." Cao Chong looked at the kitchen.

In the corner of the wall, a large amount of firewood and charcoal are piled up, and once the fire is lit, the entire kitchen is instantly ignited, and then the yard is set on fire.

"It seems that this is the fuel for the fire attack." Cao Chong analyzed.

"How do you light it?" Everyone wondered.

"Gentlemen, have you noticed that this thing is a bit abrupt here?" Cao Chong pointed to the middle road of firewood.

In the middle of the various fuels, there is a cylinder.

"Water tank? Meter cylinder? "

"Regardless of the water tank and rice tank, there is such a big free place in the kitchen, why put it with firewood?"

"Normally, this cylinder shouldn't be here." Cao Chong continued: "If it is a water tank, there is a risk of wetting firewood when scooping water. "

"If it's a rice cylinder, pile charcoal and wood next to the rice cylinder, and it will definitely get dirty."

"The placement of this cylinder is not in line with normal living habits."

Cao Chong stepped closer, and suddenly felt that the smell of oil was stronger.

After a pause, Cao Chong immediately ordered: "Check the kitchens of the houses in the city to see if there is a similar situation. "

"Remember! Never approach. "

The order was given, and the hundred camps dispersed and went door to door to inspect the kitchen.

After a tea time, Xu Yi came in quickly and hurriedly said:

"Gongzi! There is a situation! "

"In every kitchen, there is a jar in the middle of firewood and charcoal, which has a strong smell of oil."

"Cangshu, what do you say?" Cao Chun was excited, feeling that he had caught the point.

"The doubts are even greater." Cao Chong chuckled: "In the kitchens of rich and noble people, it is not strange to have the smell of oil smoke, but in the kitchens of ordinary people's homes, there is only the smell of smoke, and it is difficult to have the smell of oil." "

The reason is very simple, the people can't eat oil and water on weekdays.

Throughout the year, you can see the meat during the New Year, and it is impossible to leave a greasy taste in the kitchen.

"Makes sense!" Cao Chun slapped his thigh, "So? "

"Not surprisingly, the cylinder in the middle of the firewood and charcoal must be filled with fire oil." Cao Chong's tone was determined. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

"So how exactly is the other party going to light the fire?"

"Don't bother." Cao Chong shook his head and said, "Let the army enter the city, give a military order, do not enter the kitchen in the house, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" "

"I probably had an idea in my mind." Cao Chong sighed with emotion: "Wolong is worthy of Wolong." "

"What dragons are not dragons!" Cao Chun slapped Cao Chong on the shoulder heavily, "It's not seen through by my Cao Jialin'er!" "

"Hahaha~" Cao Chong couldn't help laughing, it felt really good to see through the enemy's strategy.

Outside the city.

Guan Zhang Zhao crawled on the ground, staring at the tiger and leopard riding in the distance.

"His grandmother's, why don't you go in yet?" Zhang Fei scolded and grinned, "What are you rubbing into? Will the other party find out? "

"Impossible."

"Wouldn't you?"

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun did not believe it, if Cao Jun could see through it, it would be too divine.

"Look! Get in! Zhang Fei suddenly said excitedly.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun fixed their eyes on it, and the tiger and leopard riding that had been stopping outside the city finally entered the city.

At this time, the little sun left gradually sank into the horizon, and the sky completely darkened.

"Finally inside..."

"Quick! Return to the big brother and the military master. "

The three hurriedly left and headed towards the mountains to the south.

A hidden mountain col.

The army and the people of Shinno were all gathered here.

The scene is orderly, the military and the people are harmonious, there is no chaos.

"If the command of the military division is determined, everything is in good order." Liu Bei was impressed.

"The Lord is too prestigious, and he is within his ears." Zhuge Liang gently shook the fan.

While speaking, he saw Guan Zhang Zhao and the three return.

Seeing the joy on the faces of the three, Liu Bei couldn't help but ask, "But Cao Jun entered the city?" "

"Exactly!" Zhang Fei said excitedly: "Five thousand cavalry, all of them have entered Xinye City, and now there is a good show to watch." "

"Military master." Zhao Yun hugged his fist and said, "Going in is going in, but there are some circumstances." "

"What a situation." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be curious.

Guan Yu took the conversation and said, "Cao Jun has been waiting outside the city for a long time, and has successively sent two groups of people into the city to investigate, will there be a problem?" "

Zhuge Liang frowned and asked, "Who is the leader of the other side?" Does the cloud grow know? "

"Cao." Guan Yu said helplessly: "Who exactly can't be confirmed, Cao Ren?" Cao Hong? Cao Chun... It can only be determined that it is Cao Cao's clan martial general. "

"Impossible to find." Liu Bei firmly said: "The military master's strategy is ingenious, and once the other party finds out, it will inevitably catch fire." If there is no fire, there is no discovery, and you need not worry. "

"Thank you for your trust." Zhuge Liang gave thanks.

In fact, Zhuge Liang did not think that he would be discovered, but he said this kind of thing personally, which was inevitably too arrogant, and could only be said by Liu Bei.

"Yunchang, Yide, Zilong." Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Don't delay, you immediately lead the troops to lean over, Cao Jun will definitely cook after entering the city, there is a possibility of fire at any time, you should quickly arrange in place." "

"Whoosh!" The three of them clasped their fists and led the way.

A moment later, the three of them left the col with an army of 10,000, and under the cover of night, quietly approached the perimeter of Xinye.

City.

Five thousand tigers and leopards rode, even people with horses, were on the streets at the moment, and did not enter the houses.

Although a military order was given, in case anyone entered the kitchen, the consequences were unimaginable.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, let the soldiers stay on the street, there will definitely be no problem.

At this moment, the soldiers sat on the ground, nibbled on the dry food they carried, and poured water bladders into their mouths to solve the problem of nightly meals.

Inside a mansion.

Cao Chong led everyone to stand in the distance, and Dian Man and Xu Yi entered the kitchen, carefully removed the firewood, and together they lifted the water tank out of the kitchen and placed it firmly in the open area of the courtyard.

"Cangshu, the cat is in this water tank?" Cao Chun asked with interest.

"Hmm." Cao Chong said with a smile: "To be precise, it is on the cylinder head. "

"Just now, I asked the soldiers to confirm that every water tank has a lid." Cao Chong continued: "Imagine, if it is a rice cylinder, the people will bring rations when they flee, and they will cover the empty cylinder before leaving? "

"It's just one or two, all covered with the lid, this is the work of the common people? Or was it done by military order? "

"Then open the lid and see?" Cao Chun was completely aroused and wanted to know what was the mystery.

"I'm afraid there is danger." Cao Chong ordered, "Take a stone and smash the water tank into a hole first." "

"Oh." Xu Yi picked up a stone on the ground and shot towards the water tank.

"Bang." A hole is opened at the bottom of the tank.

"Knock Knock~"

The viscous liquid overflowed from the mouth, and the thick smell of fire oil choked the nose itchy.

"Sure enough, it's fire oil." Everyone was shocked.

After the fire oil flow was clean, Cao Chong asked people to remove the water tank and change it to a clean place.

"It's time to open the lid." Cao Chong ordered.

Dianman came to the tank and suddenly lifted the lid.

Rumble.
