In fact, there was no need for Liu Bei to send someone to call. Sun Jian and Cao Cao had long been aware of such a huge fire.
The two hurriedly got up, only to find that Liu Bei's camp was already empty. After some inquiring, they quickly chased after them.
"Brother Xuande, this is..."
Cao Cao looked at the fire burning in the distance and frowned.
"This is Xun Gongda's fire attack plan. Brother Meng De shouldn't be surprised." Liu Bei waved his hand and said calmly with a calm expression on his face.
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes almost fell to the ground.
Don’t be surprised!
Such a big fire can burn to death so many enemy troops!
But looking at the half-smiling look on Liu Bei's face, Cao Cao immediately understood Liu Bei's intention. He couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he had to compliment him against his will: "Brother Xuande really has many talents under his command!"
Liu Bei then showed a satisfied smile.
"Hahaha, Brother Meng De is so polite!"
In just a few words, Sun Jian understood the whole story, but he was more concerned about another thing.
"Brother Xuande, the enemy army suffered a fire and the camp must be empty. Why not take advantage of this moment to advance?"
When it came to business, Liu Bei's face became serious.
"Yes, that's what I meant, but I have sent all my soldiers out. If we want to attack the Dong thief's camp, we have to rely on you two to take action!"
Hearing this, both Cao Cao and Sun Jian's eyes lit up, and they smelled the merit at the same time.
"It's natural. It's a big deal to fight against thieves, so it's your duty to do it!"
Liu Bei said solemnly: "Without further delay, I ask you two to send troops now. If we can capture and kill the Dong thief here, it will be a great achievement!"
"good!"
The two of them nodded in unison, said nothing, and immediately turned back to the camp to organize troops.
Looking at their leaving figures, Liu Bei suddenly smiled.
"Ziyi, do you think they can capture Thief Dong?"
Zhang Heng shook his head decisively, "Absolutely not."
"Why?"
"Although Gongda's fire attack plan is clever, it will only attract 10,000 or 20,000 enemy troops at most. At this time, Dong Thief still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, so self-protection is not a problem."
Liu Bei smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "That's the truth. Alas, the road to defeating thieves is really extremely difficult."
Killing Dong Zhuo is naturally the greatest achievement, but Liu Bei didn't have much idea of grabbing the credit. He would rather Sun Jian and Cao Cao could directly capture Dong Zhuo alive and end the war as soon as possible.
But... Zhang Heng guessed wrong this time.
The battlefield was changing rapidly, and no matter how many calculations he made, he never expected the variables.
And this variable is Dong Huang!
…
Xun You, Guo Jia, Zhang Fei and others ran for a while and finally got away from the fire. When they were about to stop and rest, they saw Zhang Liao leading his army from behind and chasing them.
Seeing that Zhang Liao was safe and sound, everyone had smiles on their faces.
"General Zhang, who is this?"
When Guo Jia saw the prisoners, he pointed at Dong Huang behind Zhang Liao and asked.
Hearing this, even Zhang Liao couldn't help but look proud.
"What the meritorious officer doesn't know is that this person is Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang. He was captured alive by me when we just broke through!"
"What!"
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
Especially Zhang Fei, when he looked at Zhang Liao, his eyes were filled with naked jealousy and envy, so much so that even the fire he had just set off was not that happy anymore.
What kind of luck does this guy have that he was able to capture Thief Dong's nephew alive during the breakout!
Xun You and Guo Jia looked at each other and immediately understood why so many enemy troops were chasing Zhang Liao.
Dong Zhuo had no children, and his younger brother died in Luoyang, leaving only his nephew as his successor. Now that he was captured, it was really worse than killing him.
"Wen Yuan is brave, Thief Dong will go crazy this time!"
Guo Jia gave Zhang Liao a thumbs up and smiled.
Zhang Liao quickly said humbly: "The meritorious service is ridiculous."
Xun You turned around, looked at the fire that was getting stronger and stronger, and said thoughtfully: "If this fire goes down, Dong's thieves will lose all their elites, and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on. This battle...can be considered a victory."
"Yes, but whether we can capture Thief Dong depends on how our lord uses his troops." Guo Jia nodded and smiled.
Both of them have done everything they can, and the rest can only be decided by the battlefield on the other side.
…
Looking at the raging fire not far away, Lu Bu's face was full of fear.
Fortunately, he had just listened to Gao Shun's advice, otherwise he would have been burned alive.
Zhang Boyuan had just led his army to rush in, and he must have been doomed.
While Lu Bu was thinking, he saw a figure suddenly rush out from the raging fire, it was Zhang Xiu!
As early as the fire started, Zhang Xiu turned his horse's head and began to evacuate the battlefield. Then the fire started, and he used all his strength to move his mount, and finally managed to escape without being overtaken by the flames.
Even so, when he rushed out, the cloak on his back was already on fire and his hair had already been singed.
Seeing the flames filling the sky, Zhang Ji thought his nephew was burned to death inside. When he was in despair, he suddenly saw Zhang Xiu emerging from the blazing fire. He quickly dismounted and ran over to help his nephew beat the flames from his body.
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers also stepped forward to help.
After a lot of trouble, the flames on Zhang Xiu's body were extinguished by the dust.
"Bo Yuan, are you okay?" Zhang Ji asked nervously.
Zhang Xiu shook his head and said with lingering fear on his face: "Uncle, my nephew is fine."
Just a little bit closer!
If I had reacted too slowly or not decisively enough just now, I might never be able to get out again.
Recalling the danger just now, Zhang Xiu was still in shock.
He was indeed not burned, but his long hair was burned and turned into the same hairstyle as the programmer.
The hair and skin of the body are given by parents, but compared with life, these are small things.
"It's fine if nothing happens, it's fine if nothing happens..."
Zhang Ji breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Although my nephew is fine, the soldiers under his command are all..."
Zhang Xiu looked down and his voice was full of frustration.
Zhang Ji slowly comforted him: "The green hills are here, so you don't have to worry about not having firewood. It's not easy for you to escape with your life, Boyuan, so don't blame yourself too much."
Next to him, Lu Bu looked at the scene where his uncle and nephew were embracing each other tenderly, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"Let's go back to camp and report the battle situation to our adoptive father!"
There was no way to pursue him now, so Lu Bu had no choice but to get on his horse and prepare to leave.
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from behind, accompanied by the horn of attack, rolling towards the Xiliang army.
"This is……"
Lu Bu was suddenly startled. When he turned around hurriedly and looked around, he could see the situation clearly through the light of the fire.
Not far away, a large group of soldiers and horses were attacking us. The leaders were none other than Guan Yu and Tai Shi Ci.
"Quick, form a formation to meet the enemy!"
Before Lu Bu had time to react, Gao Shun beside him immediately shouted.
Seeing the allied forces attacking, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew did not dare to continue attacking sentiment, so they quickly got on their horses and prepared for battle.
"Ziyi, you lead the cavalry to fight first. The enemy army has become frightened. Seeing our army attacking, they will definitely be unable to resist it. You must divide it when you go!"
Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and while stroking his beard, he ordered in a deep voice.
"As you command!"
Taishi Ci clasped his fists and immediately led all the cavalry to charge out.
Having been Liu Bei's personal bodyguard for such a long time, and following Zhang Heng to the capital to kill Dong Min, Taishi Ci's hard work during this period can be considered a great achievement.
Today's battle, Zhang Heng gave him a chance to make meritorious deeds on his own.
Looking at the Xiliang Army in the distance, the fighting spirit in Taishi Ci's eyes was even stronger than the raging fire outside the field.
Finally...it's my turn to appear!
