The night was dark, and the entire area of ​​Wuchao was silent, as if the mountains, forests and earth had already entered a dream.

Yuan Shang, Chunyu Qiong and others climbed one by one to the camp's post tower. Looking from a distance with the moonlight, they saw a stream of smoke and dust spreading across the deep and vast land several miles south of Wuchao, like wind blowing the remaining clouds, rushing towards their own side.

If the horse urination just now made Chunyu Qiong's wine sober up by three points, then at this moment, this Wuchao's wine should have sobered by at least nine points.

Chunyu Qiong's face turned bright red, her teeth clattered, her nostrils opened and closed, and her thick air buzzed and panted, which was almost the same as a bull in heat.

He slapped the wooden railing and shouted at the sir-frightened Yuanjin behind him, "This bold Cao thief army was uneasy in the middle of the night, and dared to invade my Wuchao. It was so arrogant! I swear to destroy it! It is said that our general will prepare the entire army to prepare troops and go out to meet the enemy!"

At the critical moment, Chunyu Qiong's performance was quite bloody, and he did not disappoint the glorious title of Hebei famous general.

When Guan Yuanjin heard this, he wanted to turn around to make arrangements, but saw Yuan Shang suddenly raise his hand to stop him.

"After a while, it's not advisable to act rashly at this moment."

Chunyu Qiong turned his head in shock and looked at Yuan Shang and said anxiously: "Three Young Master, Cao's army has already reached the gate of our Wuchao. What else can I wait! If we don't arrange troops, can we watch them trample on the food and fodder in Wuchao?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "In terms of combat alone, Cao's strength is much higher than that of Hebei soldiers. Moreover, the attack on Wuchao is of great importance. Cao Cao must have made precise arrangements. Those who come to rob the grain must be the elite of the Cao army. This step is a clever move in this game of chess. I guess the chance of winning is very low."

Chunyu Qiong was anxious when he heard this: "No matter how low the chance of victory is, it is Cao's army coming for us! If we don't fight, can we still run away? What are you going to do?"

Yuan Shang closed his eyes and thought, his mind was spinning rapidly, and thoughts flashed into his mind, and he immediately denied them completely.

Cao Cao's heroes in this world may not be useful to him. If he wants to confuse him, he will only have to apply some strong medicine.

After a long time, Yuan Shang's eyes suddenly opened, and a shrewd gaze flashed in his eyes.

"Send the order, start immediately, burn the grain! Boil our own grain!"

"What?" Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, as if they didn't hear clearly what Yuan Shang was saying.

From ancient times to the present, when two armies are fighting, the commander who leads the three armies always thinks about how to burn other people's food, cut off the other party's food channels, and set fire to their own food. It is really unheard of.

What was the problem with this third young master? He thought that he had too much food at home and was so idle that he was just lit up his own food to play? Could it be that he saw Cao's army coming and gave up on himself, and he lost the courage to resist?

Such a young man is too cowardly and too dissatisfied!

Chunyu Qiong scratched his head and asked Yuan Shang carefully: "Three Master, what did you say just now? Can you say it again? I didn't hear it very clearly."

"I said to burn grain! I will burn our own grain. Only in this way can we set up a formation for Cao Cao, so that he can't figure out what we are doing. Besides, after burning the grain and grass, black smoke will emerge. My father will know that Wuchao is in trouble in Guandu's big tent. He can speed up the sending of troops to rescue in the shortest time. This is much faster than sending fast horses and flying cavalry to inform him."

When everyone heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, and they all secretly doubted that this kind of idea could be considered a trick?

Chunyu Qiong looked at Yuan Shang hesitantly, hesitated for a while and finally murmured: "But even if the third son burned the food and grass, he would soon welcome the lord's reinforcements, but the food and grass were burned. No matter how fast the reinforcements came, there would be a bird for another? Without food, we would still not beat Cao Cao in the future..."

Yuan Shang rolled his eyes, looked at Chunyu Qiong with heartache, and stomped his feet and said, "General Chunyu, I really can't communicate with you. I asked you to burn the food, but I didn't let you burn it all. Just burn a small part of the warehouse and let the black smoke rise. Are you really idle and want to burn all the food and fodder?"

Chunyu Qiong was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled, fully demonstrating his shameless qualities: "Young Master laughed, but he didn't wake up from the wine, and his mind was still a little confused..."

Guo Yuan frowned and said, "Three Young Master, even if you burn grain, you can quickly let the lord know the situation in Wuchao, how should Cao's army resist the enemy?"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "The same sentence is still the case. It is not the best way to resist head-on. I only have one word to defend against the enemy."

"I wonder what the young master said?"

"Mongolian!"

"Meng?" Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were all confused.

***************************

What Yuan Shang said was not wrong. This time the Cao army sent to attack Wuchao, which was indeed the elite among the elite forces of the Cao army. The vanguard cavalry led by Cao Cao was the elite cavalry who traversed the Central Plains and looked down on the heroes.

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

The vanguard general who led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to take the lead was one of the few generals and powerful generals under Cao Cao's command.

One was Zhang Liao, who was praised by later generations as the leader of his five good generals, while the other was Xu Chu, a powerful general who was the "tiger fool" in command of Cao Cao.

Xu Chu is famous for his outstanding courage and strength among the soldiers of the three armies. He always strives for the first place and never gives in when fighting. This time, he attacked Wuchao at night, and ranked first among the armies. Even the tiger and leopard cavalry who are good at attacking horses were left far behind by him.

"Zhongkang! Don't be so impatient!"

While Xu Chu was rushing, he rode forward and blocked Xu Chu's way. However, he saw that the person blocking the road was elegant and imposing. His slender eyes were as bright as stars, like a gentleman who was well-read in poetry and books. He was introverted. If he were not wearing armor and holding a long-edged iron sword in his hand, no one would have thought that he would be Zhang Liao, a famous general of Cao Wei.

Xu Chu suddenly slammed the horse, looked at Zhang Liao who was blocking his way with a dissatisfaction expression, and said in a silly voice: "What are you stopping me?"

Zhang Liao smiled kindly, as if he was bathed in spring breeze: "Zhongkang, how can the advance troops be as impatient as you? Look at your impulse, the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Camp were all left far away by you. When the lord came, he had a strict order, ordering you and I not to be radical and not to be too far away from his support army. If something happens, the two armies will find it difficult to respond to each other."

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his expression changed, and he hummed heavily, then raised his hand and slapped his horse's buttocks, and continued to move forward, but the speed was obviously much slower than before.

Zhang Liao smiled helplessly, and rushed forward to Xu Chu, and said as he walked: "Zhongkang, Wuchao is ahead. When you arrive at Wuchao, you must not be impatient. You have to attack me on both sides and rush in between the east and the west. Don't ask about anything else, just burn food..."
