Chapter 188
At noon that night, countless Cao troops drove carriages into the city.
Countless pieces of dry wood and tung oil were thrown into every corner of the city.
Everything is done quietly.
Even Zhou Yu didn't notice it.
At the time of the third watch, the treasury of Chaisang City caught fire.
Immediately afterwards, the Wuhou Mansion caught fire.
Next, fires broke out in all parts of the city.
In just half an hour, the entire city burst into flames.
Zhou Xun was woken up and hurriedly ran to the courtyard.
"Dad..."
Zhou Yu waved his hand, signaling him not to speak.
But Zhou Xun still couldn't help asking, "Dad, did Cao Cao enter the city ahead of schedule?"
"It should be!" Zhou Yu nodded.
Zhou Xun asked again: "Then why can't you hear the sound of killing
?" "Yes!" Zhou Yu nodded: "After the fire broke out in the city, Lu Meng should lead people to rush out of the tunnel and go straight to Cao Cao's army
!" "Is there an accident?" Zhou Xun asked: "Dad, I'll go out and have a look?"
"Go!" Zhou Yu nodded.
"Yes!" Zhou Xun gestured with his hands in fists, and immediately drove out of the house.
Inside the city, it was already in flames.
There was no trace of Cao Jun anywhere.
On the contrary, the Jiangdong Army ambushed in the tunnels was gathering one after another, and many people were smoked to the ground.
Zhou Xun drove all the way and found Lu Meng.
"General Ziming, what's going on
?" Lu Meng looked at Zhou Xun puzzled: "Didn't the Governor of the Metropolitan send someone to light the fire in advance
?" "No!" Zhou Xun shook his head: "My father is still waiting for your news in the house!" "
What?"
Lu Meng was shocked and hurriedly rode on his horse to meet Zhou Yu with Zhou Xun.
At this time, Zhou Yu was no longer as calm and relaxed as before.
Seeing Lu Meng coming, he hurriedly stood up.
"Ziming, what's the situation outside
?" Lu Meng shook his head: "The Jiangdong army has all gone out of the tunnel, but there is no Cao army in the city!"
"What?" Zhou Yu's face turned pale when he heard this.
"Has our strategy been seen through by Cao Jun?" Zhou Xun couldn't help but speak.
This is the worst answer, and the answer that no one wants to hear.
"Governor, what should I do now?" Lu Meng asked.
Zhou Yu didn't speak, pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
"No, this is completely wrong
!" "What the hell
is going on?" "There are fires everywhere in the city, but my Zhou Mansion is fine
!" "The Jiangdong Army has all gone out of the tunnel, but I can't see
Cao Jun!" "Could it be the fire lit
by Cao Jun?" "But Cao Jun..." Zhou Yu suddenly stopped, shook his head and said: "Something is wrong, we have been trapped in Chaisang City by Cao Jun!"
What?" Lu Meng was shocked.
Zhou Yu sighed: "Chao Rui saw through my plan again, and sent troops to only guard the city wall, but not to enter the city and station, so that our army will be trapped and burned alive in Chaisang City!" Lu
Meng said: "Metropolitan Governor, I will immediately lead my troops out of the city!" Zhou
Yu shook his head: "The city wall is full of Cao army, and there must still be Cao army outside the city, we will all die here
!" "No, it won't!" Lu Meng said; Metropolitan Governor, I'll lead my troops to break through now, and take advantage of the fact that the fire hasn't spread yet!"
Before Zhou Yu could speak, Lu Meng had already walked out of the Zhou Mansion quickly.
Soon, more than 20,000 Jiangdong troops were assembled.
Go straight to the South Gate.
And the general of the Cao army guarding the south gate is Xu Huang.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Countless arrows flew down.
Lü Meng's vanguard army was shot to the ground on the spot.
"Withdraw!" Lu Meng shouted, and the troops slowly retreated.
And the Cao army, which was guarding the city, did not pursue and still stood at the head of the city.
The south city couldn't get through, so Lu Meng took people to the north gate.
The north gate is also not optimistic, not only releasing arrows, but also pouring gold juice.
Lü Meng sent men to the east gate and the west gate to tempt it.
The result is all the same.
The entire city was firmly occupied by Cao's army.
Everywhere there were high platforms full of archers.
The Jiangdong Army had no way to retreat.
The situation of the battle in the city was constantly reported to the garrison of the army outside the city.
Cheng Yu said: "Prime Minister, Lu Meng has broken through the four city gates in the east, west, north and south, all to no avail!" "
Hahaha!" Cao Cao smiled: "Chaisang City has burned to ruins, I see how long he can toss
!" Cheng Yu smiled: "Prime Minister's move, it's really clever!"
Cao Cao didn't speak, turned his head to look at Chao Rui.
Cheng Yu suddenly realized: "At this time, the strategy of the crow sacrificing wine?" "
Exactly!" Cao Cao nodded.
"Admire, admire!" Cheng Yu bowed his hand again and again.
Chao Rui said: "Zhong De's words are serious, but it's just a
small skill of carving insects!" "Hahaha!" Cheng Yu smiled: "Your plan is enough to trap Lu Meng and Zhou Yu and break Jiangdong's three legs, if this is a small skill of carving insects, there will be no general idea in the world
!" Cao Cao said: "Even if Sun Quan knows the news, he will not come back to help, and he will not dare to come to help!" Cheng
Yu nodded: " After breaking Chaisang City, the army commander drove straight into Huiji County, leaving Sun Quan with no way out!
" Cao Cao nodded: "It seems that this winter, we can celebrate the New Year in Jiangdong
!" "Yes!" Cheng Yu nodded.
The fire in Chaisang City continues.
The Jiangdong Army kept trying to break through, but was repulsed again and again.
Soon, it was cold.
But the fire is still burning.
The Jiangdong Army was already miserable.
What you want to eat but you don't eat, what you want to drink but you don't drink.
Originally, there were, and they were all in the treasury.
But Cao Jun burned it all in one fell swoop.
The entire Jiangdong Army was desolate.
In the middle of the day, Lü Meng once again led his troops to break through.
At sunset, continue to break through.
Late at night or a breakout.
Until three days later, there were only 5,000 Jiangdong troops left in the city of more than 20,000 Jiangdong troops.
There are not a few who burned to death, died in battle, starved to death, and died of thirst.
Lu Meng finally went to the state capital to see Zhou Yu again.
He knelt down on one knee: "Dadu Dudu
, I did my best!" "Surrender!" Zhou Yu shook his head: "I can't calculate, it's not that I can't calculate, it's really a crow
!" "Why?" Lu Meng said: "Every time, my Jiangdong's strategy can be seen through by Chao Rui?"
"Both Shengyu and Shengrui!" Zhou Yu shook his head, and pulled out his sword on the spot to kill himself.
Lu Meng hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhou Yu: "Metropolitan Governor, what are you doing here?" Zhou Yu
said: "I'm dead, you take my head and sacrifice it to Cao Cao, he won't embarrass
you!" "No, Jiangdong Army is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death!" Lu Meng shook his head: "I'd rather die in battle than be wronged
!" As for patting Lu Meng: "You're not wrong, it's my fault, you underestimated Cao Cao and despised Chao Rui!"
"The Grand Dudu."
Lu Meng opened his mouth, already in tears.
"You don't want to see me die, I'll tie myself up to see Cao Cao!" Zhou Yu immediately said: "My son, tie me
up!" Zhou Xun: "Dad..."
"Tie up!" Zhou Yu yelled.
"Yes, Dad!" Zhou Xun hurriedly took out the rope and tied his father Zhou Yu with flowers.
"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha
!" Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and laughed: "Send me to Cao Ying, I want to see Cao Cao, I want to see who this Chao Rui is
!" Zhou Xun: "Dad..." Lu Meng: "Dadu Governor..."
"
Go!" Zhou Yu roared and walked out of the gate of Zhou's house quickly.
