It was night.
Thick clouds covered the sky.
The wind howled.
The 100,000 strong army headed straight for Xinye.
It was already late autumn. The grass and trees were withered and the land was desolate.
Xiahou Dun planned to take advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack on Xinye, catching Liu Bei off guard and taking Xinye down.
However, Xiahou Dun waved his hand and reined in the reins of his horse as the army approached An Lin.
It was too quiet here!
It was strangely quiet.
There wasn't even a single sound in the vast forest.
In this season, the cricket chirped the most happily.
He suddenly thought of Lu Yu's words and frowned.
Was there really an ambush here?
However, his 100,000-strong army was all elites, so they were not afraid of an ambush. However, this place was filled with weeds. If they lit a fire here, they would die here.
Xiahou Lan rode her horse to Xiahou Dun and asked.
"General, why did you stop?"
Although Xiahou Dun was not smart, he was not a fool either. Since he felt that there was something strange here, if he continued to go deeper, he might fall into Zhuge Liang's trap.
"Xiahou Lan, lead a thousand soldiers to scout the way!”
"Yes, sir!"
Xiahou Lan commanded a thousand soldiers and charged into An Lin's army.
A moment later.
An Lin's army suddenly erupted into battle cries, and flames shot into the sky, dyeing the entire sky red.
"There was indeed an ambush!"
Xiahou Dun realized that something was wrong and immediately gave the order.
"Retreat!"
In an instant, the 100,000 strong army retreated in an orderly manner.
Upon arriving at Long Sight City, Xiahou Dun turned to look in An Lin's direction to see that he had ignited a raging fire that seemed to be capable of burning the heavens.
Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in his heart. If his army of one hundred thousand soldiers had charged into An Lin's midst, they would probably be rolling around in this sea of flames by now.
That was close!
His 100,000 soldiers were all elites. They could indeed fight Liu Bei head-on. Even if there was an ambush, he would not be afraid. However, he was afraid of a fire attack.
Unknowingly, Xiahou Dun's back was drenched in sweat.
What a vicious scheme!
Zhuge Liang wanted to burn him to death!
If not for…
If it wasn't for that youth's reminder.
He had made a huge mistake today!
That young man?
Xiahou Dun was shocked.
Where was that young man now?
His subordinates wouldn't kill him, right?
Xiahou Dun stood up abruptly with a flustered expression. That was his benefactor who had saved him and the 100,000 soldiers. If he killed his benefactor, it would be a great sin!
He immediately asked his subordinates.
"Where is the young man who showed us the way at Bowang Slope?”
The soldier pointed at the supply camp." General, don't worry. He can't run away. He's tied up there!"”
Xiahou Dun's face turned green when he heard that.
"Quickly bring me to him!"
……
At this moment.
Lu Yu, who was tied to a wooden stake, was bored to death. In the end, he had overestimated the intelligence of the generals in this world. These muscular men had no intelligence at all.
However, from the looks of it, Xiahou Dun did not fall into Zhuge Liang's trap. Otherwise, they would not be so calm now.
Since he did not fall into the trap, it was a good thing for Lu Yu.
This proved that Xiahou Dun had still listened to him.
According to the historical records, Xiahou Dun often welcomed his teacher personally. He liked to humbly seek advice and was willing to learn. Since that was the case, Xiahou Dun would definitely come looking for him again. It was only a matter of time.
But looking at the cook who was sharpening the knife, Lu Yu was slightly flustered.
"I say, don't tell me you guys still eat people?”
In this era, food was scarce, and cannibalism was not a rare thing.
The cook smiled sinisterly at Lu Yu. He waved the boning knife in his hand, which reflected a cold light." It's time to stick on the autumn fat. It's not bad to let the soldiers eat some meat!”
Lu Yu was stunned by the cold light.
Was this for real?
Lu Yu glanced at the pig beside him. This pig was also tied to a wooden stake, similar to Lu Yu's current situation.
Lu Yu said," If you really want to eat meat, do you want to eat me or the pig first?”
If Xiahou Dun still did not come, he might be finished.
The cook smiled and looked at Lu Yu carefully. This young man looked very smart, but he was actually a coward. He shook his head and said," Then I'll eat you first!"”
Lu Yu let out a long sigh and said with a look of despair," Sigh, I'm afraid this pig thinks the same way, right?!”
Hmm?
The cook was slightly startled.
This sentence sounded a little wrong.
After chewing carefully for a while, he finally reacted. He picked up a wooden stick and walked toward Lu Yu." You're already in this state and you still dare to play with me?”
However, before he could get close to Lu Yu, a loud shout sounded.
"Stop!"
The cook turned around and was shocked. He hurriedly bowed and said," General!”
Xiahou Dun kicked the cook away and quickly walked to Lu Yu.
He personally untied Lu Yu and said sincerely," I've made you suffer!”
The cook was left dumbfounded.
Benefactor?
How did he become a benefactor?
After untying all the ropes on Lu Yu's body, Xiahou Dun knelt on the ground and shouted," Thank you, benefactor, for saving my life!”
"Benefactor, please accept my bow!"
Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xiahou Dun kowtowed to the ground.
It was like pounding garlic.
Lu Yu hurriedly took a few steps forward and helped Xiahou Dun up.
These generals were indeed not smart, but at times, their simple and honest nature was not annoying.
"General, what are you doing?"
Xiahou Dun's face was filled with guilt as he bowed to Lu Yu again.
"If it weren't for you, my benefactor, the 100,000-strong army would have been buried in that raging fire!”
"Benefactor, I'm eternally grateful for your kindness!”
"Please accept my bow again!"
As he said that, Xiahou Dun kowtowed again.
He couldn't even pull this sturdy body.
Just as the two of them were talking, a soldier ran over.
"General!"
Xiahou Dun's expression changed slightly.
"What is it?"
The soldier said in a panic," General, the grain camp in Long Sight City has been burned down by Liu Bei!”
" What?!"
Xiahou Dun was shocked.
Then, he was extremely annoyed and slapped his thigh fiercely.
In fact, Lu Yu had already told him to guard against the grain being burned, but he did not take it to heart at all. He only cared about escaping, which led to a big mistake!
However, Xiahou Dun looked at Lu Yu with admiration.
If the ambush at Yu Mountain and An Lin wasn't a big deal to him, then he couldn't have seen the burning of the rations, right?
Not only did he expect an ambush, he also expected the rations to be burned.
Everyone said that Zhuge Liang was more intelligent than others, and Xiahou Dun had a whole new level of respect for Zhuge Liang. This was because Zhuge Liang had already predicted that the Cao army would attack Xinye and had set up an ambush here.
However, this benefactor was more skilled than Zhuge Liang.
Because he had predicted Zhuge Liang's prediction, he had predicted that Zhuge Liang would set fire to the provisions.
If Zhuge Liang was the Sleeping Dragon, then what was his benefactor?
It was naturally the Soaring Dragon!
This was much more powerful than Zhuge Liang!
Instantly, Xiahou Dun's entire body was drenched in sweat as he bowed to Lu Yu again and again.
"Benefactor is really a god!"
