"General Huo! We've cleared the patrols on the top of the mountain, hurry up with me!" Chasing hurriedly said.

Huo Qubing nodded, and the three thousand men followed lifelessly behind the chaser and slowly climbed to the top of the mountain.

After all the archers under his command were in place, Huo Qubing ignited the bow and arrow in his hand and shot downward... It was like a signal. After a short while, the rain of fire fell from the sky, instantly burning Cao Cao's major cargo camp into a sea of ​​fire. ...

After completing the attack, Huo Qubing's archers quickly retreated... They didn't even have armor. If they were discovered, how could they escape.

However, Chase stayed, and he had to watch Cao Cao's baggage and forage burn up before he could leave.

Cao Cao's army in the major battalion, seeing that the fire could not be extinguished, had no choice but to send someone to report to Cao Cao. , , .

348: Three Days' Bread

The defenders of Cao Cao's major battalion quickly found the stronghold of Huo Qubing and others.

But there is no one here anymore... From the warm horse dung, it can be seen that Huo Qubing and others have just left not long ago.

Countless troops searched for the traces left by Huo Qubing and chased them all the way.But how could these ordinary cavalry catch up with Huo Qubing's light cavalry?

As early as early in the morning, Cao Cao had received the rations sent by his subordinates, and now he was resting in the camp when he suddenly heard reports from his subordinates.

"My lord, just now Liu Rui's light cavalry is coming from the south!" The general said, "The end general has already sent someone to chase, but the light cavalry is too fast."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "What if a group of people without armor and no guns run fast? As long as we seize the opportunity one day, we can talk about the light cavalry that slaughtered Liu Rui." Let the subordinates go back.

However, just as the subordinate walked to the door, Cao Cao reacted abruptly: "Wait, you said they came from the south?"

The subordinate stood at the door, stunned, and said, "Yes! But we haven't received any news that the rear has been attacked! Besides, there are only [-] light cavalry, what can we do?"

Cao Cao said, "Impossible, then Liu Rui will never send these [-] people behind us for no reason..."

Cao Cao's words were just halfway through when he suddenly heard Xi Zhicai's exclamation outside. "My lord, my lord... the south is on fire!"

Xi Zhicai's tent was originally very close to Cao Cao's tent, but when he shouted loudly, Cao Cao was immediately startled.He was barefoot and wearing only thin pajamas, but suddenly realized what the so-called fire was!

When Cao Cao rushed out of the camp, he saw the fierce fire in the south, turning the whole sky red.

Looking at that position, it is the major cargo camp of Cao Jun.Cao Cao only felt dark in front of him. He never imagined that Liu Rui not only found his major transportation camp, but also burned it down so easily!

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are still [-] troops in command. Even if a [-]-strong army is mobilized, it is impossible to take it down in such a short period of time... It must be that Liu Rui has made some conspiracy to set fire to the major battalion!

Cao Cao was originally an extremely smart person, and he reacted to all this in an instant.

Xi Zhicai on the side naturally knew what this meant, and said anxiously with a worried expression: "My lord, what can I do, what can I do!"

"Shut up! It's just that the forest in the distance is on fire!" Cao Cao shouted, and Xi Zhi suddenly woke up.

If Xi Zhicai leaked the news that the major battalion was burned down, I am afraid that the army will be in chaos immediately.

Cao Cao laughed twice again, looked at the many soldiers in the camp who were looking up, and shouted: "What are you looking at, don't you need to rest? Go back to sleep for me!"

Many soldiers were still curious about what happened, but when they heard Cao Cao's words, they thought it was just a simple forest fire, so they stopped watching and turned back.

Cao Cao glanced at Xi Zhicai next to him, and said in a low voice, "Call me all the generals who know the location of the major battalion immediately!"

Xi Zhicai hurriedly turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly Cao Cao's body softened and he fell to the ground.

"Master!" Xi Zhicai hurried to help Cao Cao, but saw Cao Cao covered his head and said with a painful expression: "Hurry up and help me to pay, don't let the soldiers see."

When they got to the camp, Cao Cao slowed down for a while before he said in a low voice, "Are you all here?"

Fang Cai and Xi Zhicai had already sent someone to call the other generals, and he was here to take care of Cao Cao himself.At this moment, the generals who knew the location of the major battalion had already arrived.

"Everyone listen to me, no one is allowed to tell us today's news!" Cao Cao struggled to open his eyes and looked at the generals in the tent, his tone was not good: "Who dares to leak the news, kill without mercy!"

You must know that the current tents are all high-ranking generals. Cao Cao is eager for talents, and he treats them very well on weekdays.But now, the order to kill Wushe has been issued.This shows how much Cao Cao takes this news.

All the generals agreed with their hands. They were not fools if they were able to climb to the current position. They understood the importance of right and wrong.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and asked in a low voice again, "Zhicai, I'm having a headache right now, you must not panic!"

Xi Zhicai hurriedly said, "My lord, why don't we retire! When you take care of your health..."

"Shut up!" Cao Cao let out a low growl, but he had a splitting headache. After a pause, he asked again, "How much food and grass do we have."

"My lord, we only have three days' food left." Xi Zhicai hurriedly said.

"Ah! Three days' food!" Cao Cao sighed, closed his eyes, rested for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses have been abolished, and that idiot has more than enough success if he fails, so it's okay to keep it. Useless, cut off his food!"

"I'll do it right away!" Xi Zhicai nodded, and then ordered the generals on the side to do it.He looked at Cao Cao again and said in a low voice, "My lord, there are still a lot of people in Liu Bei's hands, do you have to run out of food?"

Cao Cao slowly shook his head and said in a low voice, "Although Liu Xuande's soldiers are few, they are all elite soldiers. We can't let them go now. However, the news of the burning of food and grass, we must not let him know."

Cao Cao explained a lot again, and Xi Zhicai gradually calmed down at this moment, so he got up and prepared to leave, wanting Cao Cao to rest well.

However, what surprised Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai was that Yuan Shu's voice suddenly came from outside the tough battle.

"Cao Mengde! Why are you impounding my food and grass! My army of [-] sacrificed your life for you, and you still have the face to seize my food and grass? You come out for me..." Yuan Shu was stopped in the tent by several Cao army generals with bad expressions. outside.

It's just that Yuan Shu is very single, and said loudly: "What are you stopping me, don't think that I don't know you have three days' worth of food left, let me get out of the way!"

After saying that, Yuan Shu pushed aside a few dazed Cao generals around him and strode toward Cao Cao's tent.

Yuan Shu's voice was very loud, and many of the soldiers present could hear clearly what he said just now. , , .

349: Yuan Shu leaves

Yuan Shu listened to his subordinates talking about this matter. Originally, he thought that his subordinates were deliberately deceiving him, but who knew that Cao Cao sent someone to collect his food and grass, which made Yuan Shu believe that Cao Cao's major transportation camp was being seized. Liu Rui was on fire.
