Chapter 462: Burning the Camp
That night, outside Huguan, Li Jue's camp was so lively at this moment, especially in the middle of the main tent.
At this moment, Li Jue and Fan Chou and more than a dozen generals under their command were drinking and singing in the big tent. The reason was nothing special. At noon today, they attacked Huguan again and once again gave Huguan a huge blow. Of course, their losses were even greater.
However, for Li Jue, such a small loss doesn't matter at all. He just needs to obey Dong Zhuo's orders and take down Huguan at all costs.
Of course, this lively thing is not just about Li Jue’s big tent. Today, Li Jue ordered a reward for the army. Now the army in the entire camp is full of laughter and no longer has any warning.
For them, the Liu Yao army in Huguan are just turtles now. It would be great if they don’t go to trouble them. They dare to come out to seek death by themselves. Therefore, everyone is delicious and delicious. There are not many opportunities to reward the army, so they have to enjoy it. As for the brothers they died, they don’t care at all. As long as they don’t die, others will care about it.
"General Fan, I'll give you a cup. If you didn't bring the troops here, we wouldn't have fought so happily!" Li Jue said with his tongue wide, his face flushed, and he was obviously half drunk.
"Where are all things, they are all military advisors Li, and I just acted on orders. However, Liu Yao still claims to be the number one army in the world. I think it's just a false reputation, and it's not a problem to deal with them." Fan Chou took a glass of wine and said with his tongue wide. He drank no less than Li Jue.
"Yes, yes, with General Li and General Fan, I don't think it will take long before the Huguan can be taken down. The lord will definitely reward the two generals well. Then, please ask the two generals to promote more." A side general said flatteringly.
"Yes, yes..." After hearing this, the other generals quickly agreed, fearing that they would be slower and that they would not be their turn.
"Hahaha!" Li Jue laughed happily after hearing this flattery by his subordinates and said, "Don't worry, you are all my subordinates of Li Jue. If I have the benefits, I will naturally not forget you."
"Thank you General Li, thank you General Li!" The soldiers quickly became grateful. It was a great contribution to taking Huguan. Li Jue and Fan Chou ate meat, and as long as he could drink some soup and chew the bones, he could also make a fortune.
"It's time to go, it's time to go!" At this moment, waves of fear and fear came from outside the tent.
Suddenly, Li Jue was shocked and woke up from the wine. He stood up with a "ten" sound and roared at the door, "What's going on outside?"
Not long after, a soldier ran in with a dark face, and knelt down at Li Jue in panic and said, "Report to General Li, I don't know what's going on, a large camp in the east is on fire."
"Bastard! Then why are you still standing here? Why don't you let someone go to put out the fire quickly!" Li Jie roared. But he was not worried. There were few camps in the east, and it was probably because the weather was dry and the fire caught fire. As long as the fire was extinguished, nothing would happen.
"Brothers have already gone to put out the fire! But the fire is a bit big and cannot be extinguished for a while!" the soldier said in a trembling voice.
"Waste, all of them are waste!" Li Jue shouted unyieldingly, then shouted to the generals around him, "Let's go out and see what's going on." He raised his legs and was about to walk outside.
Fan Chou nodded and followed Li Jue's footsteps. The remaining generals naturally did not dare to object, so he quickly stood up and followed.
"Not good, the stables on the north are also running out of water!" However, before Li Jue could take a few steps, a panic sound suddenly came.
Suddenly, Li Jue and Fan Chou looked at each other, saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and shouted "What's wrong".
"Not good, no good, the granary on the west side has also flowed out!" Before the two of them could react from their surprise, another bad news came.
"Bastard!" Li Jue could no longer calm down and rushed out of the big tent. If there was only one place on fire, it would be fine even if the fire was too big. At most, it would be caused by the dryness of the sky. As long as the fire was extinguished, it would be fine. At most, it would be lost to some tents.
But now this is wrong. The stables are on fire and the granary is on fire. This is impossible to be what God wants to say. It is clearly someone deliberately setting fires.
The big tent on the east side before was just a cover, and the main purpose of the man who set fire was the stables and granaries.
Because of his arrogance, Li Jue concentrated all the grain and grass in the army. When the granary caught fire, it meant that the food was gone. If the food was gone, Li Jue should not take down the Huguan. Even self-protection was a problem.
Li Jue now has 100,000 cavalry among the 200,000 troops under his command. According to the configuration of one man and two horses, there are 200,000 horses. If the stable catches fire, it means that all the cavalry under his command is destroyed. And this is not the most critical. The most critical thing is that if the horse is frightened in the fire, once it becomes panic and runs around, the situation is the most serious.
However, as soon as Li Jue stepped out of the tent, he was stunned. His camp that had been stretching for ten miles was now completely covered by fire. The fires that soared into the sky and the panicked soldiers could be seen everywhere.
"Damn it all, stop me, go and put out the fire, and save the granary for me first." Li Jue grabbed a running soldier and roared out directly. Now the situation is the most important thing in the granary. Without horses, they can survive, but if there is no granary, then their 200,000 troops will probably starve to death.
The soldier collapsed to the ground and said in fear, "General Li, the fire is too big and it cannot be destroyed at all!"
"Get out!" Li Jue kicked the soldier away, looked at the granary in the west, and became decadent and looked at the sky like a prayer. He could clearly see the sky-sky fire here, and there was not so much water source here at all. How to put out the fire? Unless God opens his eyes and there will be hope for a heavy rain.
In Huguan, Zhang He and Zang Ba, who were already sleeping, all rushed to the meeting hall of the city guard palace in armor. They experienced a big battle at noon. They were already exhausted and were sleeping comfortably, but they were woken up by the two soldiers. It was Tian Feng who had urgent matters to look for them. As for Gao Lan, Tian Feng naturally would not ask him to find him. It would be better to have a good rest for his virtue.
As soon as he stepped into the conference hall, Tian Feng had already put on his clothes and was waiting for him with anxiety on his face.
"Yuan Hao, I'm calling us two so late. Is there anything urgent?" Zhang He asked in confusion as he looked at Tian Feng's anxious look.
As soon as Tian Feng saw Zhang He and Zang Ba, he grabbed them and shouted anxiously, "Hurry up, go and order all the troops, we will send troops!"
Zhang He and Zang Ba were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Tian Feng for some unknown reason.
Tian Feng quickly explained with his fastest speed, "Just just now, the soldiers at the city gate came to report that in Li Jue's camp, fires surged into the sky. I think the lord must have arrived and taken action. So we must take advantage of this good opportunity to unite the lord's troops and kill Li Jue in one fell swoop, and relieve the danger of Huguan."
"Sure!" Zhang He was overjoyed. They were waiting day and night, and finally waited for such a good opportunity.
However, unlike Zhang He's excitement, Zang Ba frowned and asked with some concern, "Yuan Hao, if this fire was deliberately released by Li Jue, what should we do if we wanted to surrender to Luo? You must know that we have repeatedly repelled Li Jue over the past few days, maybe he knew that he could not attack, so he could use a sudden trick."
Tian Feng was also stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it, he smiled and said confidently, "Absolutely impossible!"
"Why is this?" Zang Ba was puzzled.
Tian Feng said disdainfully, "It is precisely because Li Jue has only been able to attack for a strong man. Such a person is destined to be a brainless person. If he was Li Ru here, maybe I would be on guard, but Li Jue, hum!"
Zhang He nodded and said, "I think it's not a trick. You, Yuan Hao, have you. The lord will be back in about seven days. Tonight is exactly seven days, and the time is just right. I think there will be no mistakes."
Zang Ba nodded blankly after hearing this. He had forgotten Tian Feng's words before, so he was a little worried.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Tian Feng quickly ordered, "Okay, it's not a big deal. You two immediately go to reorganize the troops and set off and head towards Li Jue's camp. You can rest assured that I have me in this Huguan."
"The last general obeys the order!" Zhang He and Zang Ba responded at the same time, then turned around and went to prepare for the troops.
Tian Feng looked at the direction of Li Jue's camp, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself, "Li Jue, Li Jue!"
