After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

"Xinyekong, you must be fireproof." Cao Cao chanted the six words in the letter, and looked at Wenwu in the hall.

The hall was full of civil and military officials, looking at each other in blank dismay, no one understood what it meant to set fire to the new wild sky.

Cao Cao asked Cao Pi again: "Did Mr. Cao Ji say anything?"

Cao Pi said: "Mr. Cao Ji only said that the vanguard who attacked Liu Bei must remember the contents of the letter, there is nothing else to say!"

When Cao Cao heard the words, he directly threw it to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren cupped his hands: "Prime Minister, what do these six characters mean?"

Cao Cao said, "Go and ask Mr. Cao Ji!"

Cao Ren shook his head: "Where can I ask?"

Cao Cao said: "Then don't ask, I ordered you to be the vanguard and lead [-] troops to attack Liu Bei. Take this letter with you and read it twice a day!"

"Obey!" Cao Ren cupped his fists and carefully put away the letter.

Three days later, Cao Ren led his troops to attack Liu Bei.

At the same time, another piece of news spread to Xu Du.

Liu Biao's condition worsened again.

Cao Cao immediately asked to play the emperor.

The imperial court formally issued an imperial edict, and within a few days heavy troops went south to crusade against the traitor Liu Biao.

When the news spread to Jingzhou, people panicked.

Liu Biao, lying on the bedside, vomited blood continuously.

"Husband, how are you? Are you okay?" Madam Cai kept patting Liu Biao's back with her hands anxiously.

Liu Biao shook his head: "The thief Cao is vicious and shameless. He first ordered Cao Ren to send troops to attack Liu Bei, but then issued an edict to attack me in Jingzhou. He is insidious and cunning!"

Cai Mao clasped his fists together: "Your Majesty, calm down, your body is the most important thing. If something happens to you at this time, Cao Cao will be the most proud!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yun also said: "As long as the lord is fine, then Jingzhou is fine!"

Mrs. Cai immediately reprimanded the two of them: "Stop talking too much, step back quickly, my lord should drink the medicine!"

"Obey!" Zhang Yun and Cai Mao clasped their fists together and retreated slowly.

Mrs. Cai helped Liu Biao up.He took the bowl of soup and medicine: "Husband, I will serve you to take medicine!"

"Okay!" Liu Biao nodded slightly, his eyes full of nostalgia for Mrs. Cai.

That night, Liu Biao left peacefully.

Mrs. Cai kept her secret, and called Cai Mao and Zhang Yun that night to conspire.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have already firmly grasped the power in Jingzhou, and they also have the support of major families behind them.

Immediately made arrangements, ordered Liu Qi to take over Jiang Xia the next day, and set off immediately.

Three days later, Liu Biao's death was announced.

With the support of the ministers, Liu Cong succeeded to the throne before Lingqian and officially became the lord of Jingzhou.

When Liu Qi, who had just arrived in Jiangxia, heard the news, he burst into tears.

He wanted to return to Xiangyang for the funeral, but was blocked by Cai Mao's subordinates and ordered him to return to Jiangxia to guard against the Jiangdong Sun family.

Liu Qi wept bitterly, and while returning to Jiangxia, Tuo Yiji went to Xinye to seek help from the emperor's uncle Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei heard the news, he felt that the sky in Jingzhou had collapsed.

"The vanguard Cao Ren has entered Xinye, and Cao Cao's army is going south soon. At such a critical moment, Liu Jingsheng has gone west?" Liu Bei looked at Yiji in shock,

"Hey!" Yi Ji sighed: "Not only that, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun did not mourn, and sent Mr. Liu Qi to guard Jiangxia, and then embraced Liu Cong as his successor!"

At this moment, Liu Bei only felt that his mind was blank.

"What?" Zhuge Liang was even more shocked: "Liu Biao's body is not yet cold, so these two people support Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou?"

"Exactly!" Yiji nodded.

Liu Bei couldn't help sighing: "It's so ruthless!"

"Hey!" Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh.

Liu Biao's death was so sudden that Liu Bei never had a chance to support Liu Qi.

In the battle of the sons of Jingzhou, he has obviously lost.

But Yiji's intention was obviously to hope that Liu Bei would lead his troops to help Liu Qi regain his position.

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, grabbed Yi Ji's hand and said, "Sir, please go back to Jiangxia and tell Mr. Liu Qi that Cao Ren's army has entered Jingzhou. I don't have time to take care of other things. Please forgive me!"

"Obey!" Yi Ji clasped his fists and left helplessly.

That night, news came that Cao Ren's army had arrived at Bowangpo and joined forces with the defenders in the city. There were now [-] soldiers and horses.

Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang: "Military Master, Cao Ren has one hundred thousand soldiers, how should our army resist?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Our army is small and the enemy's army is many. At this time, we must not divide our troops!"

Zhang Fei was not happy when he heard the words: "The Fancheng that our brother took down just now, is it just thrown away?"

"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang laughed, "Don't worry about Yide, I didn't say to lose Fancheng!"

Guan Yu asked, "What do you mean by military division?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Xinye is in the north and is the closest to Bowang City. Fancheng is behind Xinye. Now we should retreat to Fancheng!"

Zhang Fei yelled: "Then I still lost Xinye!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Xinye can be discarded, but Cao Ren wants to take it easily!"

"Oh?" Liu Bei was puzzled: "What does the military commander mean?"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands: "My lord, you can order that the entire city's soldiers and civilians withdraw to Fancheng overnight, leaving Xinye an empty city!"

"Why?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

Zhang Fei also said: "If you withdraw, you will withdraw. Why do you have to take the people with you?"

Zhuge smiled: "Our army can ambush into the empty city. When Cao Ren sees the empty city of Xinye, he will definitely enter it. Our army will burn it with a big fire. This battle can be won!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Bei laughed loudly: "This is to burn Xinye!"

Guan Yu nodded: "If you can defeat Cao Ren, it's okay to withdraw from Xinye!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Second brother is right!"

Liu Bei immediately handed over the sword seal to Zhuge Liang: "Also ask the military master to plan for me!"

"Obey!" Zhuge Liang cupped his hands.

Chapter 125 Awakening in front of Xinye City, Cao Ren burned Zhao Yun

Zhuge Liang took the sword seal and immediately lined up his troops.

"Sun Qian, Mi Zhu obey orders, you two are in charge of dispatching the ships and escorting the generals' families and common people to Fancheng."

"Obey!" The two clasped their fists together.

Zhuge Liang took out another token: "Zhao Yun listened to the order, and immediately prepared something to light the fire, and ambushed in the houses of the people in Xinye City. When Cao's army entered the city, they would rest in the houses and set fire to the city."

"Obey!" Zhao Yun cupped his fists.

Zhuge Liang took out two tokens again, and looked at Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

"Guan Yu listened to the order and quickly led his troops to the Baihe River to intercept the water. When Cao Ren fled to Xinye City, he could release water to feast the enemy."

"Zhang Fei Tinglin, lead the troops to Boling Ferry. Cao Ren is flooded by Yunchang, so he must pass through here."

"Obey!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei clasped their fists together.

Zhuge Liang then ordered Mi Fang and Liu Feng to lead [-] soldiers and horses to wave flags and shout as suspicious soldiers on Quewei Slope.

Liu Beijieshi and Zhuge Liang ascended to wait and see the overall situation.

A few days later, Cao Ren led [-] soldiers and horses out of Bowang City, first passed Bowangpo and then entered Luochuankou.

When we arrived at Quewei Slope, we saw two-colored flags waving on both sides of the mountain.

The former army Xu Chu immediately reined in his horse and sent troops to inform the Chinese army leader Cao Ren.

Cao Ren said bluntly: "Waving the flag in the mountains must be an ambush. There is no need to stop the army, just keep going!"

"Obey!" The soldier immediately reported back to Xu Chu.

Xu Chu led the former army into the mountain, but there was no one there.

The army continued to move forward, and soon arrived outside Xinye City.

But I saw that the gates of the four cities were all open.

Xu Chu sent a sentry cavalry into the city to investigate, but there was no one in the city.

First there are suspicious soldiers, and then there are empty cities.

Xu Chu personally reported to Cao Ren on horseback.

"Is there no one in Xinye City?" Cao Ren was puzzled.

"That's right!" Xu Chu clasped his hands together.

Cao Hong smiled: "It must be that Liu Bei is poor in skills and fled Fancheng with his soldiers and civilians. Our army will enter the city to rest and march into Fancheng tomorrow!"

After hearing Cao Hong's words, Cao Ren felt that there seemed to be some truth.

Just when I was about to order, I suddenly remembered something.

He subconsciously took out the envelope.

This was written by Mr. Cao Ji, and the prime minister handed it to him, and ordered him to read it every morning and evening.

Just six words: Xinyekong must be fireproof.

Cao Ren saw Bowang City from Xudu, but he couldn't understand it no matter how he looked.

When he picked up the letter again at this time, his face suddenly changed.

"Xinyekong, set fire!" Cao Ren turned his head to look at Cao Hong and Xu Chu.

"What's wrong?" Cao Hong asked.

Cao Ren pointed to the envelope and said, "Mr. Cao Ji's words!"

"What do you mean?" Cao Hong was puzzled.

Cao Ren said word by word: "When he was in Xudu, Mr. Cao Ji already expected that Xinye City would become an empty city, so he said Xinye is empty!"

"Damn!" Xu Chu exclaimed.

Cao Hong asked again: "Then what does it mean to set fire?"

Cao Ren pointed to Xinye City and said, "You just said you would go to the city to rest!"

"That's right!" Cao Hong nodded.

Cao Ren pointed to the sky again: "The wind is very tight at this time!"

Cao Hong nodded: "Understood, Mr. Cao Ji told us to be careful not to spill water when we enter the city to cook!"

"Fart!" Cao Ren said, "Since Mr. Cao Ji predicted the enemy first, why would he write these six words because of such a trivial matter?"

Cao Hong shook his head: "What does that mean?"

Cao Ren said bluntly: "I expected that there must be an ambush in the city. Once our army enters, the enemy army will burn the whole city with wind and fire, and our army will have no way to retreat. This is what Mr. Cao Ji said about Xinyekong, and it must be set on fire!"

At this moment, Cao Hong's face turned pale with fright.

Xu Chu: "This, this, this... what should we do? Liu Bei's ambushes are not all around, are they?"

"Don't panic!" Cao Ren said, "If there is an ambush, we must wait for Xinye City to catch fire before going out. If our army does not enter Xinye City, Liu Bei's ambush will be useless!"

Cao Hong asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Cao Ren's face was stunned: "Divide the troops into four groups, block the four gates of Xinye, and then set fire to the city. I want to see who is hiding in the city!"

"Obey!" Several generals clasped their fists to signal.
