There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

And Yuan Shao's company camp layout is only a small part of the mountains and rivers, but because Qu Yi knows where the food and grass are connected, with his guidance, Yuan Shao's camp can be ignited like a domino, and their morale will be lowered. to the bottom.

This burning method can't kill many people. After all, no one is stupid. They will stand still and let the fire burn to death. However, the way of burning can completely disperse the huge Yuan army and completely paralyze their command system.Let your own soldiers attack head-on, defeat Yuan Jun in various battlefields, and win the battle.

In fact, from an objective point of view, this is the same routine as burning food.Just the method used is different.

But that's good too. Burning morale and not burning people is more in line with the potter's temper. If the fire burns people, it will be too bad for peace.

The pottery merchant listened carefully to Qu Yi's speech and said with emotion: "Mr. Qu is indeed the lucky star bestowed by heaven on Tao and Cao's two armies. He uses soldiers like a god, is clever at maneuvering, and is good at strategizing. He is really a perfect genius in this world .”

When Qu Yi heard this, he proudly puffed up his chest.

There is nothing wrong with boasting.

The potter continued: "It's just that your map drawing is really shabby, it can only be regarded as perfect."

Qu Yi's face darkened suddenly.

The next day, the potter took Qu Yi's map and led a group of civil and military advisers to Cao Cao's tent, and explained Qu Yi's strategy to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao stared at the company map drawn by Qu Yi for a long time and suddenly asked, "What is this? Is it a long worm?"

The pottery merchant couldn't hold back his joy when he heard the words, and Qu Yi's face turned black again.

When I was young, after the pottery merchant finished explaining, Cao Cao and everyone else couldn't help being a little surprised.

Cao Cao gave Qu Yi a thumbs-up and said, "General Qu is really a good general in this world, and he is indeed a rare talent in Hebei. Cao is willing to ask General Qu to conspire in great affairs. I wonder if General Qu is willing?"

Although the potter hated Qu Yi's cold nature and arrogance, it didn't mean he wanted Qu Yi to go to Cao Cao.

Moreover, Cao Cao, an old boy, actually plucks the wool in front of his face, isn't it a little too unethical?

Brother, please take a closer look, Tao is not dead yet.

With a sullen face, the pottery merchant reached out and patted Cao Cao's shoulder: "Brother Meng De, it's not okay to poach people in front of my younger brother?"

Cao Cao had an embarrassing face, and said shamelessly, "Brother Tao, they are all loyal to the country, so how can we tell them apart?"

Qu Yi bowed to Cao Cao, and said: "Thank you, Cao Sikong, for your trust, but Qu and Taifu Tao are old friends, and this time I came to vote for the affection of the old man, and it has nothing to do with others. Sikong's kindness, I appreciate it I can only thank you."

When Cao Cao saw that Qu Yi didn't urinate himself, he felt very regretful. He said to Qu Yi, "Mr. Qu must be a bit of a figure. There is nothing wrong with being loyal to the country. Isn't it all for the Han Dynasty?"

Qu Yi laughed and said, "That's exactly the case. Since you're not working for the Han Dynasty, why not work under the Tai Tuo's command?"

Tao Shang knew in his heart that now that Liu Xie was dead and Prince Xi was in his hands, he had the ability to support Prince Xi and give Qu Yi the high position and title he wanted.

However, Cao Cao was just an ordinary prince, and if Qu Yi was under his command, if he was awarded a high position, his words would not go well if his name was not correct.Qu Yi is now attacking the eldest son Xi.

People are always gnawing on the old, gnawing on the parents and gnawing on the mother.

Now I am eating my nephew.

But it feels quite comfortable.

Seeing Qu Yi's refusal, Cao Cao had no choice but to give up, and everyone immediately began to study Qu Yi's strategy, and the advisers of both armies thought it was feasible.

Thus, the strategy of attacking Yuan Shao with fire was decided.

The moon is dark and the night is killing, and the wind is high and the sky is set on fire.

Seeing that it had already entered autumn, but the weather was still very sultry, and many sergeants accidentally suffered from heatstroke, so Yuan Shao set up a large part of the military camp in places near mountains and rivers.

And Yuan Shao himself is now studying in the handsome tent.

The weather was muggy, and it felt like it was going to rain, but it never came.

In the past two years, Yuan Shao has grown a little too old, and he can't sleep when something happens, and he feels out of breath when the sky is stuffy, so when it's midnight, he still doesn't rest.

For some reason, Yuan Shao was in an extraordinarily anxious mood today. After letting him flip through the ancient books in his hand a few times, he threw them on the table.

He took off his coat, put on a small jacket, and rolled back and forth on the soft couch casually.

Not long after, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the tent.

When I was young, I saw a guard rushing in and said to Yuan Shao: "General, it's not good. In the direction of the southeast camp, several food receiving points have leaked!"

Yuan Shao stood up, his face full of suspicion.

It is normal for Yuan Shao to run into water. In this age, due to lack of good fire prevention preparations and awareness measures, fires are common.

The question is how did the water come out of several places?No matter how careless one's own soldiers are.

"Quickly ask Jushou to arrange people to rescue there." Yuan Shao lost his sleepiness and began to dispatch troops.

Just now the guard was sent to pass the order, but Yuan General Lu Kuang came in a hurry: "General, there is water on the west side. The fire is so big that it is almost connected to the land for ten miles. General, hurry up and order to go out from the middle." Send someone from Junzhai to put out the fire!"

"Is burning ten miles to the west?" Yuan Shao was startled when he heard this, "How can there be such a coincidence!"

Lu Kuang nodded and said: "The last general also suspects that the enemy set the fire on purpose!"

Yuan Shao stood up, walked back and forth in the tent for a few times, and said, "Impossible, although the camps set up by Yuan are all companies, they have already set up guards between them, and it is not easy to attack with fire. thing!"

Lu Kuang said: "General, is it possible that Qu Yi is familiar with our food storage points in each camp, and after escaping, he went to Tao Cao and offered advice?"

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "No, when Qu Yi escaped, Yuan only wanted to move the camp, but he didn't tell the generals how to set up the camp. He couldn't possibly know."

Lu Kuang said hesitantly: "Although he doesn't know how the general will arrange the camp, after all, he has followed the general for many years and is a trusted general, so the general guesses whether he has figured out the general's intention in advance."

Yuan Shao was furious when he heard the words.

"What nonsense! Hurry up and lead troops to the rescue!"

"No!" Lu Kuang didn't dare to delay, and hurried away. What he said just now really angered Yuan Shao's Ni Lin.

Which monarch is willing to admit that his way of thinking has been guessed and mastered by one of his subordinates?

Especially this subordinate is still a traitor.

Not long after Lu Kuang left, all of a sudden, generals from various ministries came to Yuan Shao's village.

Except for the west and southeast, the generals reported to Yuan Shao that the entire camp was on fire, with the Chinese army as the axis, and the fires were spreading everywhere.But tonight's wind is so weird that it can't be stopped at all.

Yuan Shao really panicked now, he hastily led everyone out of the handsome tent.

Chapter 573 The Battle of Burning Camp

A single spark can start a prairie fire, and the fire that night was deliberately set by someone, and the wind was extremely strong. After the soldiers and horses of the Cao and Tao armies burned the barracks and fodder for a meal, coupled with Qu Yi's planning and arrangement, the fire broke out in an instant. Then the continuous Yuan camp on both sides of the east and west was burned.

Huge flames burned the entire company continuously.
