373. Fire Dingjun Mountain
When Cao Ren's army arrived, Xiahou Dun had almost fought the troops in his hands. Cao Ren did not blame Xiahou Dun. He knew that Xiahou Dun had been holding it in for a long time and had to release it.
In the big tent, Xiahou Dun saluted Cao Ren and said, "The General will give me another 10,000 troops tomorrow. I will kill him to Dingjun Mountain."
Cao Ren did not reply to him immediately, but turned his attention to Guo Jia who was standing aside. He hoped that Guo Jia could give a more perfect solution.
Guo Jia really lived up to his expectations, and saw him smiled slightly and said, "General Xiahou, do you have to destroy the Liu Bei army camp on Dingjun Mountain?"
When Xiahou Dun heard a strange light burst out with one eye, he turned his head and stared at Guo Jia and said, "Is there a way for the military advisor to destroy the Liu Bei army camp on Dingjun Mountain?"
Guo Jia nodded and shook his head and said, "I don't have a good way to destroy Liu Bei's army camp simply."
Xiahou Dun was stunned and said, "What does military advisor mean?"
"Let me see Dingjun Mountain tomorrow morning, and then I will give you another reply. How about you? General Xiahou." Guo Jia still said with a smile on his face. Xiahou Dun had no other choice, so he sat down to the side and stopped talking.
There was nothing to say all night, and turned around. Xiahou Dun was waiting outside Guo Jia's tent early. When he heard Guo Jia get up, he lifted the curtain into the tent. Guo Jia's personal guards dared not stop him. They also knew that General Xiahou would not be detrimental to the military advisor, but they still followed him into the tent. "Military advisor, General Xiahou insisted on seeing you!" The personal guards spoke when they entered the tent.
Guo Jia smiled wryly and waved his hand, "I understand, you can make me some water, I want to wash up." The guards turned around and left, and Guo Jia said to Xiahou Dun, "General Xiahou, you are too anxious. I told you that you will definitely give you an answer today."
Xiahou Dun sighed and said, "Military advisor, I wish I could eat Zhao Yun's meat, but I would like to ask the military advisor to let me follow you to check it out?"
Seeing that he had said this, Guo Jia had to nodded and said, "Well, let's go and have a look later!" As the guard brought the basin of the water, Guo Jia did not avoid Xiahou Dun and washed up in front of him. It was not long before the washing was finished. At this time, the guard brought the breakfast over, and the breakfast was prepared very much, which included Xiahou Dun's.
Xiahou Dun was already impatient, but he still forced himself to finish the food in front of him in a few bites. When he looked up at Guo Jia, he found that Guo Jia had almost eaten. He didn't ask him to wait for long, and after breakfast, Guo Jia immediately took his personal guard and Xiahou Dun out of the camp.
Not far away, a mountain blocked the way, and saw that the mountain was about a thousand feet high, stretching hundreds of miles from the north and south, like a barrier, crossing the road to their westward. If they could not take down Dingjun Mountain, going westward would be like a joke. Guo Jia walked around the mountain for a few times. He looked carefully at the trend of the mountain, and then thought that Xiahou Dun had confirmed the location of Liu Bei camp on the mountain and the water source on the mountain.
For an entire hour, Guo Jia turned around and took the people to the camp. Xiahou Dun said anxiously: "Is there any way for the military advisor?"
Guo Jia said: "There is a solution, but this method will hurt the harmony of the sky. I have to discuss it with the general. General Xiahou is not impatient." After that, he ignored him.
When he returned to the big tent, Cao Ren had already been waiting in the tent. When he saw them coming back, he spoke, "How about the military advisor?"
Guo Jia smiled and replied, "I have a way to break Liu Bei's camp on the mountain, but this way will hurt the harmony of heaven, and it will take the general to decide."
"Oh, there is still this? Military advisor, come on." Cao Ren said with a look on his face. Guo Jia nodded and said seriously: "If you want to completely destroy the mountain camp of Liu Bei's army, then you can only destroy this mountain together. So my plan is to set fire to the mountain!"
"Set the mountain?!" Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun were shocked after hearing this. If the fire is really set, they don't know when it will go. I wonder if the Dingjun Mountain in front of me will not be able to escape the nearby hills. Not to mention the Liu Bei's army on Dingjun Mountain, no one can even run out of the villages and animals in the mountains. Who knows how many people will die when the fire is burned, it is really a disaster.
However, I have to say that if this plan really works, then the general of Dingjun Mountain is not an obstacle to the army. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Cao Ren's mind, and Guo Jia, who proposed this plan, was sitting silently aside and stopped talking.
Xiahou Dun is a war-oriented faction, and he immediately said anxiously: "What are the generals hesitating about? Isn't it just setting fire to the mountain? Let me go! I will bear any consequences!"
"Xiahou, you..." Cao Ren's words were swallowed by him. He glared at Guo Jia with some anger, but found that Guo Jia didn't look at him at all, but just lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes to rest.
"Master, stop hesitating!" Xiahou Dun urged again.
Cao Ren was irritated by his urging, and he slapped the table and said, "Forget it, since the military advisor has made such a clever plan, I agree."
Guo Jia, who closed his eyes and rested, suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. He said to himself: "Good you Cao Zixiao, and in the end he didn't forget to drag me into the water. Forget it, I asked who made the plan? If there is really retribution, it would be for me." Thinking of this, Guo Jia spoke: "Okay, since the general agrees to this plan, then prepare more tincture oil, hay and other things that can cause fire. I will see that the celestial phenomena will be sunny in the next few days, and I can set fire."
Cao Ren nodded and said, "It will take at least one day to prepare these items in one day. General Xiahou will not bother the second master in any matter, so I will leave this preparation of the items to you!"
Xiahou Dun nodded and said, "Master, please be careful, I will definitely be able to prepare things tomorrow."
Guo Jia looked at him and said, "If everything is ready tomorrow, then set the fire at night. Without further ado, the faster you move, the better!" After Guo Jia said that, Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun nodded. Then Xiahou Dun went down to prepare the materials to attract the fire.
Cao Ren asked Guo Jia at this moment, "Fengxiao, how long will it last if the fire is burned? It won't keep burning, right?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "No, once the fire burns, there will be rain here. As long as we send people to watch the mountains on both sides and only control the fire on Dingjun Mountain."
Cao Ren nodded after hearing this. Now he was waiting for Xiahou Dun to find all the things that led to the fire. Just as Cao's army was making arrangements in full swing, Han Fei led Zhang Fei to the Dingjunshan Camp. Zhao Yun and Fa Zheng were very confused about Cao's army not coming to attack the camp today. Han Fei thought about it and said, "Can you know that the military advisor on the opposite side is Ah Hui?"
"Military advisor, our scout came to report that the military advisor opposite was Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao." Fa Zheng replied.
"Guo Jia? It seems they are going to use tricks!" Han Fei immediately murmured to himself when he heard that it was Guo Jia.
