"Subordinate Wang Meng, please see the Crown Prince!"
Seeing all the familiar faces in front of him, Wang Meng suddenly felt a little sore in his nose when he saw Liu Chan, who treated him like a brother.
"Wang Meng?!" Liu Chan was surprised and happy, "You..."
"You're not dead yet!" Qian Duo couldn't help blurting out, his words also full of surprises.
Wang Meng's eyes were already sparkling, but he immediately took it back and said to Qian Duo with a dark face: "If you don't know how to speak, just say less."
Then he looked solemn and said: "The situation is urgent. Let's make a long story short. Does the prince want to attack the camp at night?"
Liu Chan nodded and said, "Yes, it's best to make the noise louder."
Wang Meng smiled and said: "You guys just wait here, but when you see a fire in the camp, come in."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Liu Chan grabbed his arm and said, "Be careful. No matter whether it succeeds or not, come and join us afterwards."
Wang Meng hesitated and said, "If I haven't been exposed, I might as well stay in Lu Xun's army. It might be more useful."
"Now that Lu Xun is about to die, our army will defeat him soon. What are you doing here?" Liu Chan said seriously, "Your mission is over. No matter whether the fire is successful or not, you must return to the team immediately. This is an order. !”
Theoretically speaking, Wang Meng's suggestion was correct. He had not learned the battle formations and his training had been abandoned for a long time. It would indeed be more useful to continue to lurk in the Wu army.
But if Liu Chan did everything based on maximizing theoretical interests, he would not be able to gather so many people who were willing to die for him.
When Wang Meng heard this, his heart was filled with excitement, and he felt that his life-and-death experience was worth it.
"Yes!" He put his feet together, straightened his chest and pulled in his abdomen, standing like a javelin. This was a tall and straight stance that had never been shown in Wu Junzhong or Mi Fang Mansion.
Thinking about his various achievements back then, they were no worse than Li Er.
Then he turned around resolutely and ran back towards Wu Jun's camp.
Along the way, his body gradually relaxed, his face became straight again, and he gradually returned to the inconspicuous Wu Bing.
"I thought you let a wild wolf pick up the roots of your descendants when you were peeing! Return to the team quickly!" the military lord said angrily.
Other Wu Jun also laughed in low voices.
"Yes, thank you Junhou." Wang Meng didn't care, smiled at everyone around him and stood back in the team.
After a while, there was no more noise from the bottom of the mountain. The Shu army, which must have been bluffing, had withdrawn.
After waiting for a while, the military leader dispersed the team after receiving the order.
Everyone returned to their camps. They were exhausted physically and mentally from the past two days. As a result, the soldiers of the Wu army could now fall asleep when they lay down. They fell asleep very quickly.
After a while, snoring broke out in the camp, making the Wu soldiers on duty envious.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang suddenly opened his eyes and quietly got up and left the tent amidst the thunderous snoring of the people around him.
The guards on duty, who also had dark circles under their eyes, were dozing off holding their spears.
Wang Meng did not alert them, walking through the shadows in the night like a nimble black panther.
There were indeed more guards in the place where the food, grass and baggage were stored, but they were also human beings, and they were also terribly sleepy under such torture.
But because it is a place where superiors often come to inspect, I am still trying to keep up my spirits at this time.
The guard in the corner of the barracks couldn't help but yawn.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!" A big hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness behind him, covered his mouth, and dragged him into the darkness, and soon became silent.
Then Wang Meng quickly ran to the tent, cut open the tent with a short knife and got inside.
Now that he no longer has to lurk here, he has a lot less scruples when it comes to taking action.
Later, the soldier on duty in front of the camp suddenly frowned and sniffed: "Did you smell it? There seems to be a smell."
The soldier's eyelids were twitching next to him. Hearing this, he said angrily: "Are you sleepy? What's the matter...huh?"
He also felt something was wrong, there was a burning smell.
crackle.
The two heard a strange noise coming from behind them. When they turned around, they were horrified to find that the flames in the tent had already spread so high!
They immediately called the surrounding soldiers in panic to put out the fire, and tried to beat them with military uniforms and throw soil. However, the fire had already started and this method did not work at all.
The water source in the mountains here is not abundant. Fortunately, the cold weather does not consume much, and it is barely enough for the daily needs of the army. Where can we find so much water to put out the fire?
Everyone carried water tanks from each camp, but with little success.
The air is dry in winter and it is difficult to light a fire in the biting cold wind. However, once a fire starts, the wind helps the fire spread quickly.
Lu Xun's army's food, grass and baggage were all stored here. If the fire spread to the entire camp, it would be completely burned...
After hearing the news, soldiers from the surrounding camps rushed to put out the fire, and the camp was in chaos for a while.
Kaka.
When Liu Chan and others saw that the fire was starting in the camp, they immediately struck flints against the torches they carried.
One person successfully lit a fire, and the others immediately used his fire to light their torches.
"Walk!"
Liu Chan gave an order, and five hundred people immediately rushed into Wu Jun's camp and started lighting fires in the camp where the people had been led away.
Not long after, fires broke out everywhere in the Wu Army camp, and the flames shot into the sky.
Seeing that chaos had formed, Liu Chan immediately led his men to pursue the chaotic Wu army. For a while, screams and cries could not be heard.
"The Shu army is attacking the camp! The Shu army is really attacking the camp this time!"
The soldiers ran and screamed, but this caused even greater chaos.
During the fire, they had no idea how many troops were coming. As soon as they heard that the Shu army was attacking the camp, the Wu army, which was already low in morale, immediately fled in all directions.
Hearing the loud noise outside the tent, Lu Xun was about to go out of the tent to check, but the guards ran in.
"General Lu, something bad has happened. Our army's food and grass have been burned, and the Shu army is attacking the camp!"
"What?!" Given Lu Xun's nature, he was shocked and angry at the same time.
He quickly ordered the guards to summon the elite of the headquarters to check.
These elite members of the Lu family join the army to fight for the Lu family, and their family members farm for the Lu family. After the father dies, the son succeeds, and the elder brother succeeds the younger brother. This has been true for generations, and they are the so-called "military households" of the Lu family.
Their loyalty to Lu Xun is even higher than that of Sun Quan, and their daily treatment and training are not comparable to ordinary Wu soldiers.
At this time, they quickly gathered together and rushed to the back camp to check. However, by the time Lu Xun arrived at the back camp, it was obvious that the fire was out of control.
"Regather the rebel troops, but if anyone refuses to obey orders, shoot them without mercy!"
"yes!"
Under the strong suppression of his troops, Lu Xun finally calmed down the chaos and avoided an army-wide panic retreat.
He then ordered people to dismantle and move all facilities near the fire scene to create open space to prevent the fire from spreading further.
As for the food, grass and baggage...the fire had already covered it all, so they couldn't care about it anymore.
However, when Lu Xun's troops prepared to encircle and suppress the invading Shu army, they discovered that they had already withdrawn...
Liu Chan and others were already humming a little tune and were about to return to the top of their mountain. Wang Meng was also among them.
Everyone's faces were darkened by smoke, but they blended into the night better...
"The prince's attack on the camp this time destroyed all Lu Xun's food and supplies. Now that rat has to leave even if he doesn't want to!" Qian Duo said excitedly.
Hu Li also laughed and said, "That's right, it's winter now, and there aren't that many snakes, insects, rats, and ants for them to eat in the mountains."
After the mission was over, Wang Meng, who was looking relaxed, also joined in the fun: "It's not bad to be able to eat rats. This is a good thing in times of famine. Cut off a rat head and you can just chew it like a duck neck with your eyes closed."
"You are very experienced, you must have eaten a lot."
Everyone laughed.
Liu Chan also smiled and said: "Wang Meng's contribution to this attack on the camp is indispensable. I also keep Jiangling's contribution in mind, and we will reward each one of them after we drive the Jiangdong rats out of Jingzhou. "
Wang Meng immediately lowered his head and said: "These are all matters within the scope of my subordinates. I dare not ask for any other reward..."
Liu Chan waved his hand and pretended to be angry: "Any merit will be rewarded, and any fault will be punished. Do you want to break the discipline of our army?"
"I don't dare!" Wang Meng immediately bowed in fear.
Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, he took a peek and found that everyone was suppressing laughter.
Liu Chan shook his head and patted his shoulder: "You have indeed stayed outside for too long and have forgotten all the rules. The mission is over and there are no outsiders here, let alone a subordinate of the prince. Have I ever called you a loner?" "
"But... you are already the crown prince of Hanzhong."
Liu Chan said seriously: "I said, this is your privilege. No matter what my status is in the future, privately, this will be a privilege that only belongs to you."
Wang Meng was excited, but didn't know what to say.
"But you have neglected training for so long. If you are eliminated in the next army competition, this privilege will be gone." Liu Chan said with a smile.
Wang Meng knew this was a joke, so he curled his lips and said, "These are just idiots. I can beat them even without training."
"Hey, who are you calling stupid? Your skin is itchy, aren't you?"
"Come here! I'll let you learn from me now!"
Everyone was having fun all the way back to the camp.
In this night attack, Liu Chan burned all the food and fodder of Lu Xun's army in Yiling Beishan.
Not only that, Lu Xun counted the troops afterwards and found that the loss was as many as more than 2,000 people.
But most of them became deserters, and not many were killed by Liu Chan and others. Lu Xun himself killed more than Liu Chan.
Fortunately, the fire was controlled in time, and it was winter again. Otherwise, once a mountain fire formed, Lu Xun's army would have been burned by Liu Chan...
At the same time, Zhuge Liang, who noticed the fire on Mount Luxun, also smiled with relief.
The two people, who had not communicated in detail beforehand, were about to join forces from a distance to launch an encirclement and suppression of Lu Xun's army...
