In the 13th year of Jian 'an.
Cao Cao raised an army of 500,000.
He ordered Cao Ren and Cao Hong to be the first team, Zhang Liao and Zhang He to be the second, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun to be the third, Yu Jin and Li Dian to be the fourth, and Cao Cao himself to lead the other generals to be the fifth. Each team would lead 100,000 troops and lead the army south.
As for Xudu, Xun Yu was left to guard it.
The rest of the people left.
At this moment.
In Xiahou Dun's team, Lu Yu sat in a carriage. His eyes were slightly narrowed. He was not in a good mood.
Because there was going to be a war!
Lu Yu also knew that Cao Cao had suffered a great defeat.
With Cao Cao's temper, who knew who he would kill to vent his anger after this defeat.
Therefore, Lu Yu decided that from now on, no matter what, he could not show himself too much. The more he showed himself, the more dangerous it would be.
If it was possible, Lu Yu would not have wanted to come at all.
However, Cao Cao had made up his mind.
Almost all of them came out.
In fact, even without the Battle of Red Cliff, Cao Cao would have been defeated.
The Battle of Red Cliff was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Before the Battle of Red Cliff, the plague had already spread among the Cao army. The plague had greatly weakened the fighting strength of the soldiers. In addition, the cavalry in the north were not good at fighting on water. It was only a matter of time before Cao Cao lost.
The other reason why Lu Yu was in a bad mood was that he was afraid that he would not be able to see his " Qiao Dong girl " for some time.
It had been a month since Lu Yu had met " Qiao Dong Maiden ", but " Qiao Dong Maiden " was still lingering in his mind.
Especially when she changed her clothes.
Lu Yu had indeed sworn that he would not look at it, but he could not help it...
She only took a few glances at him secretly.
However, Lu Yu had not seen his " Qiao Dong girl " in the past month. He had tried to look for her everywhere but to no avail.
While Lu Yu was looking for Qiao Dong, many major events had happened in the world.
Kong Rong was killed by Cao Cao.
Liu Biao of Jingzhou was dead.
His son, Liu Qi, became the ruler of Jingzhou.
The Jing State had undergone a tremendous change. Although Liu Qi had become the ruler of the Jing State, Cai Mao was the one in control of the Jing State.
……
Compared to Lu Yu's unhappiness, Xiahou Dun was very happy.
He was also happy because he was about to go to war!
To a general, war meant an opportunity to make contributions.
If they didn't have battle merits, these brainless generals would have long been crushed by the strategists 'intelligence.
Xiahou Dun was still fantasizing about making a great contribution this time!
Outside Lu Yu's carriage, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Then, a person bent down and entered the carriage. This scene had happened countless times along the way.
Some of the accompanying soldiers were curious as to who was sitting in the carriage!
It actually made Great General Fubo's army change from the former to the latter, and they came and went frequently. Some people even guessed that the person sitting in this carriage was a young lady, right?
Of course, according to Lu Yu's rank, he was not qualified to sit in the carriage.
However, with Xiahou Dun as a lackey, this small favor was still acceptable. After all, Xiahou Dun was the boss in this team.
As soon as he entered the carriage, Xiahou Dun bowed to Lu Yu.
"Benefactor is indeed powerful!"
"There's news from the front. Liu Da 'er and Zhuge Villagers have already led the people of Xinye City to abandon the city and flee. Xinye City is now an empty city!”
"Benefactor is indeed a god!"
Xiahou Dun's solitary eyes suddenly shone.
"If our army were to speed up and attack Xinye, I'm afraid we wouldn't need to expend a single soldier to take down Xinye and make the first contribution in this southern expedition!”
"At that time, the Prime Minister will naturally reward me greatly!”
"But don't worry, benefactor. You will also have a share of these rewards!”
Xiahou Dun looked excited. This was the first merit!
If their Xiahou clan made the first contribution, then they would be higher than the Cao generals in front of the Prime Minister.
As for the reward, he really didn't care.
Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes. He had to admit that Xiahou Dun still had some conscience. However, looking at this silly fellow, Lu Yu shook his head." If you want to die, go ahead. I'm not going!" In addition, don't bring the soldiers along. There are old and young among them. It would be a pity if they died.”
"Why?"
Xiahou Dun widened his eyes.
This was the first merit!
Why didn't he go?
And if he wanted to die, he would go?
Xiahou Dun had been following Lu Yu for some time now. Every time Lu Yu said this, it meant that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Xiahou Dun, who had extremely sharp intuition, asked anxiously.
"Benefactor, why?"
Lu Yu turned over and stared straight at Xiahou Dun. He was really afraid that Xiahou Dun would charge into the new wilderness with his soldiers.
If that was the case, he would probably fall into Zhuge Liang's trap again!
Zhuge Liang had already prepared a fire, waiting for them to die.
A new official's three fires came from Zhuge Liang.
The first fire burned Bowang Slope.
The second fire was to burn Xinye.
The third fire burned Red Cliff.
However, the burning of Bowang Slope burned loneliness.
Zhuge Liang didn't start the fire.
But these three fires were fiercer than the last.
Any one of these fires would result in heavy losses.
Lu Yu sized up his lackey. Although his image was a little bad, he was still useful in Cao's camp. At least with him, Lu Yu's life was better.
It would indeed be a pity if this guy was burned to death.
Lu Yu looked at Xiahou Dun and tried to ask," Let me ask you, since Big Ear Liu and Village Man Zhuge are leaving, why did they bring the people of Xinye with them?”
Xiahou Dun, who was deep in thought, raised his head and replied," Because Big Ear Liu loves his people like his own children?”
"Bullshit!"
Lu Yu was furious when he heard this.
What do you mean by loving the people like children?
If that was really the case, would he be fired?
However, this guy's acting skills were so good that everyone thought he was so.
Xiahou Dun saw how agitated Lu Yu was and knew that he had said something wrong. He expressed that he was innocent. How could he know about such things? He quickly changed his words and said," Is it because Big Ear Liu doesn't want to leave Xinye's supplies to us?"”
Lu Yu rolled his eyes at Xiahou Dun.
He had no choice.
It was impossible to expect Xiahou Dun to come up with a perfect conclusion.
Helpless, Lu Yu could only answer his own question.
"Because Big Ear Liu wants to…"
"Burning the New Wilderness!"
Hiss!
A series of gasps could be heard in the carriage.
Xiahou Dun was shocked.
Burning Xinye?
Wasn't Zhuge Liang too vicious?
If he didn't know about this and brought his army into Xinye City, he wouldn't be able to escape once he lit a fire.
Xiahou Dun's back was instantly drenched in sweat.
Fortunately, he didn't take the credit!
However, after a long time, Xiahou Dun's face revealed a puzzled expression.
"Then why did they take the people away?”
Lu Yu looked at this stupid guy and said angrily," Because if Liu Da 'er burns the people to death, he will become a person who will be cursed by tens of thousands of people!”
"Big Ear Liu values his reputation the most. This is also the foundation of his foothold.”
"No matter what, he would never do something like burning the people to death!”
"It's also because he took away the people that he dared to burn Xinye!”
Xiahou Dun came to a realization and broke out in cold sweat.
"I see!"
