Chapter 2014 I can''t afford to smoke, and the empty camp will never fall


    If Xia Houyuan hadn’t had those previous experiences, he might have gradually grown into a good general, but he is anxious now, and once a person is anxious, it is easy to become impetuous.


    Just like Zhang Fei, he is also very impetuous and has a quick temper. In history, Liu Bei lost Xuzhou when he was fighting against Lu Bu. After learning the lesson, he was able to achieve the later skill, but he still couldn''t hold it back later. I even got into it myself...


    Whenever there is a major event, be calm.


    This sentence is definitely not nonsense.


    The things that everyone encounters and the problems they encounter in this world may be different, but the behaviors shown may be consistent. It''s like every family is different, the car is different, there are good and bad, but you will see many people doing the same behavior, like to cut in line when turning, as if it makes them happy.


    And what’s interesting is that these people who want to jump in the queue don’t think that they have done something wrong, and even get angry when others don’t allow them to jump in the queue, thinking that others are hindering them, why don’t they let themselves jump in the queue? Why shouldn''t you give yourself a face? Didn''t I already turn on the turn signal?


    It is not me who is wrong, but the whole world.


    I control my own life!


    I want that day and that place, what can you do to me...


    It’s like the later generations often call for entertainment first, always preaching that this is cool, that cool, but one-sided pursuit of cool, there is a high probability that there are some problems.


    Xia Houyuan felt that there was nothing wrong with him. Even if he made a mistake, he was punished, so naturally he was right. Should there be more punishment for one mistake?


    Xia Houyuan wanted to jump in the queue, and he also thought that Cao Chun had jumped in him before, so now he wants to jump back...


    As for Cao Cao''s thoughts, or the rules of the entire Cao Group, and the direction of interests, Xia Houyuan certainly knew it, just like those who forcibly jumped in line at the solid turning line and knew it was wrong to do so. But they will subconsciously ignore it, and at most they will find an excuse for themselves, such as something urgent or something.


    Xia Houyuan was in a hurry, and he also felt that he was in a hurry. Shouldn''t it be urgent for the official to return to his original post, or even to a higher level? How can you obediently wait in line for such a thing? Can you grab some of the flavors in front of you?


    Xia Houyuan likes to ride horses and gallop, and then give an order, and everyone will follow him. He doesn''t like the title of General Baidi either. He thinks all this should change immediately, immediately, instantly, so although it has been discussed I have to wait and take a look again, but Xia Houyuan still couldn''t wait early the next morning, before the sky was fully bright, he rushed up to the city wall.


    The sight is not good on cloudy days, everything seems to be gray. The black-gray sky, the blue-gray mountains, the white-gray fog, everything seems to have lost the colorful colors that should be in normal spring, and turned into a gray theme.


    Xia Houyuan walked back and forth a little anxiously, and then turned his head from time to time to look at Zhao Yun''s camp in the distance like a giant beast, waiting for today''s new smoke to rise.


    Although I couldn''t see where the sun was, as the light increased, the distant scenery gradually became clearer. However, the smoke that should have risen as expected has not been seen for a long time.


    "what happened? 』Xia Houyuan lay on the battlements, trying to stretch his head forward, as if he could see more clearly by extending a little distance.


    『What time is it now? ’ Xia Houyuan exclaimed.


    The soldiers on the side hurriedly went to the city gate tower to see the engraving, and came back and said: "General Qi, it is now past the hour..."


    『Mao Shi! ’ Xia Houyuan stared at Zhao Yun’s camp in the distance, ‘Mao Shi? ! 』


    Normally speaking, at Maoshi, you should finish your meal, wait for the general to order Mao, and arrange a day''s military operations. As a result, Xia Houyuan still hasn''t seen any smoke...


    Could it be that I am dazzled?


    『Have you seen the smoke rising from the opposite side today? ’ Xia Houyuan asked while looking around.


    Cao Jun on duty at the top of the city shook his head.


    Then it’s not that I’m dazzled, it’s really not…


    Why not? These guys under General Hussars have cultivated to the point where they don''t need to eat? What a joke!


    Xia Houyuan slapped the blue bricks on the city wall angrily, and shouted: "Ju Shou! Mistake me! ’ Immediately, he turned around and ran down the city wall.


    Not long after, Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun boarded the city wall again.


    『There is no smoke in the hussar camp today! Xia Houyuan pointed to the distance, and said through gritted teeth, "Yesterday, the smoke from the kitchen was reduced, which means that most of the people had evacuated the day before yesterday. If the smoke is gone today, it means that they had all evacuated last night!" A certain dare to assert that at this moment, there is no one in the hussars camp! 』


    Cao Chun frowned, turned his head after a while and said, "How was the scout detection last night?" 』


    『Reporting to the general... this... I don’t know...』 Chief Qu, who was on duty at the top of the city, reported hesitantly. It''s not that the Qu Zhang on duty doesn''t know, but dare not say it.


    really do not know? Is it possible? Didn''t you hear the screams outside the city from time to time last night, and the **** scouts who fled back?


    No one wants to take the blame. After all, not just anyone can be the leader of the cooking squad, so last night Cao Jun’s scouts suffered heavy losses, and the leader Qu on duty didn’t want to report it immediately. If he did, he would go down to investigate what to do? Anyway, his responsibility was to guard the city wall, not to fight those ghostly hussar scouts in the night.


    『Tell the Marquis of the Scout Battalion to come! 』Cao Chun glared at Qu Chang, but didn''t say anything, and gave another order.


    The Marquis of the Scout came in a hurry, and fell to the ground, "General...Last night, Erlang suffered heavy losses last night, Qu Chang, Qu Chang was also seriously injured..."


    『In that case, why didn’t you report it? 』Cao Chun let out a sound from between his teeth.


    Scout Yingjun trembled, "Before, before... also..."


    As for the oppression of scouts, the oppression of General Hussars is undoubtedly extremely strong, so Cao Jun''s scouts have always been at a disadvantage. Although the number of scouts was increased last night, they also did not get any good results. There have always been a lot of injuries in the world, which has caused Cao Jun''s scouts to be unable to replenish, and the quality has further declined.


    To put it simply, he is already used to loss and damage, and the Marquis Scout didn''t think there was anything wrong with it. After all, if he reported it late at night, he might have to take the blame himself.


    Cao Chun took a deep breath, "Have you ever arrived at the enemy camp for detection?" 』From a normal point of view, it is not a big deal for the hussars to be so defensive, but if it is combined with yesterday''s reduction of stoves, it seems to be deliberately covering the battlefield so that Cao Jun cannot learn the details.


    The Marquis of the Scouting Battalion was about to cry, "It''s not a little incompetent, it''s really unreliable..."


    『Come on! Procrastinate, heavy responsibility twenty! 』Cao Chun couldn''t bear it anymore, he kicked the Scout Battalion Marquis who was kneeling in front of him.


    Xia Houyuan folded his chest and looked aside, sneered, and added another accusation to Cao Chun in his heart, "incapable of governing the army". After a while, he tilted his head upwards and said in a lukewarm way: "Zihe, don''t stop now! 』


    『You want to go out of the city to pursue? 』Cao Chun turned to look at Xia Houyuan.


    Xia Houyuan nodded and said, "It should be so! Why, until now, Zihe still dare not? 』


    『If there is an ambush…』


    Cao Chunzheng was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xia Houyuan waving his hand, "Yesterday, I blocked a certain person three times, and I still say the same thing today!" If you don''t want to, just let it go! When the lord asked about it, it was you who insisted on blocking it, and wanted to let the hussars return home! 』


    After finishing speaking, Xia Houyuan lifted his legs and left.


    Because Xia Houyuan is now deprived of military power, Cao Chun''s approval is required to send troops, but it is obvious that Cao Chun does not want to bear this responsibility, so he hopes that Xia Houyuan will take some measures to "resist the order" and win. Although happy, it is not Cao Chun''s fault that he lost.


    But now Xia Houyuan is holding her up...


    Cao Chun''s complexion changed again and again, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yun''s camp in the distance without any movement, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "Wait a minute! Miaocai and stop! 』


    …(*Д*)(￣()￣)…


    A few shrunken Cao Jun approached Zhao Yun''s camp, looking at the flags flying above the camp, they were somewhat terrified, and occasionally the light and shadow behind the camp shook, making these Cao Jun as if they were attacked by a real entity, and they wanted to stab their heads immediately to the soil.


    They dawdled and dawdled, dragged and dragged, but the closer they got to Zhao Yun''s camp, the Cao Jun became a little bolder. After they got close to the wall of the camp, they began to hang the lasso on the wall and climb up. After a while, he got close to the top of the camp, then stretched his head out to look for a while, turned over and went in.


    Xia Houyuan was engrossed.


    Cao Jun beside him also held his breath.


    Suddenly, a tricolor flag was thrown down from the wall of the village, and then half of the scarecrow was also thrown down, and the sound almost cracked with excitement. "empty! is empty! Empty cough cough cough...」


    Xia Houyuan was overjoyed, determined in his heart, waved his hand, and immediately Cao Jun uttered a cry, fighting bravely to be the first, as if he wanted to dispel all the fear of facing the hussars and horses for a period of time, destroying it three times and two times The gate of the camp was bolted, the gate was opened, and everyone rushed into the camp screaming.


    In the camp, all kinds of messy items are scattered, obviously caused by the haste during the retreat.


    Tents, most of them are still there, and some tents closer to the west have been removed.


    Those abandoned cloths seem to be very dirty, and there are some scattered pieces of wood. Of course, this is also normal. After all, if it is not worn out, most people will not abandon it.


    The large central tent in the middle of the camp is still there, perhaps because the target is too obvious, and Cao Jun might notice any changes.


    Cao Jun laughed and scattered around the camp as if it was New Year''s Eve, and began to tidy up all kinds of banners left on the ground and in the tents, collecting all kinds of linoleum, rags, and some Formed wood, etc., the best is naturally the flag surface, which can be used as a quilt and can be shown off...


    Because these things were distributed in a mess, Cao Jun unknowingly dispersed.


    For most people, no matter what they have gained, it is enough for them to show off. Look, I also killed the hussars and ran away. Look, this is the spoils that I got...


    Calls of joy filled the camp, deafening, and even scared the birds on the mountain to fly up and stay there for a long time.


    Cao Jun had already dispersed, scattered into the camp.


    Zhao Yun''s camp itself is more inclined to a cavalry camp, covering a large area and wide. Xia Houyuan''s 2,000 men were scattered among them, picking up a piece of cloth in the east and grabbing half armor in the west, and they were very busy.


    Amidst the hustle and bustle, Xia Houyuan got off his horse and stood in front of Zhao Yun''s tent of the Chinese army, proudly complacent for a moment, then walked forward with his head held high.


    Continue to chase? Hehe, Xia Houyuan is not that stupid, what if he was killed halfway with a carbine?


    But it’s good now, anyway, is there any success in breaking the camp and capturing the flag?


    In this way, what can Cao Chun defend Yuyang?


    Keep a lonely! There is no gain at all, and although I said that I lost the camp in the west of the city, is it different to break the camp of Zhao Yun? In this way, who can say that a certain is incompetent, is General Baidi?


    As for the pursuit? Hehe, the natural responsibility lies with Cao Chun. If Cao Chun hadn''t stopped him, he would have adopted Xia Houyuan''s suggestion yesterday, so naturally Zhao Yun couldn''t be allowed to leave so easily!


    So, it''s not that he doesn''t pursue, but that Cao Chun is cowardly and incompetent, delaying the opportunity to fight!


    Xia Houyuan walked into Zhao Yunzhong''s tent, and even unfolded the draft of the watch in his heart, and prepared to read Cao Chun''s book, at least to expose Cao Chun''s timid and fearful nature to the world!


    When people are excited, they often only see some things and ignore others.


    Xia Houyuan is no exception, his attention is all in the big camp now, and his mind is immersed in the merits that are about to be obtained.


    This is General Pingbei''s tent!


    Hahaha, General Pingbei also lost today! No matter how he lost, he lost in front of someone anyway!


    Ok? After Xia Houyuan got the money, he couldn''t help being taken aback.


    In Zhao Yun''s big tent, didn''t he take away the table case and horses? There was even a standing screen, painted in black and red, decorated with gold and silver carvings. Xia Houyuan was overjoyed immediately, and stretched out his hand to point: "Move these away later!" Be careful, don''t break it! etc! Don''t worry, someone said, move later! 』


    His subordinates were busy preparing to step forward, but Xia Houyuan stopped him. He wanted to experience the comfort of being in the position of General Pingbei. Xia Houyuan staggered to the front of the screen, then turned around and straightened the saber, sat down, pressed his hands on the table, and coughed twice.


    The clever one among Xiahouyuan''s guards stepped forward and bowed down: "See General Pingbei!" 』


    『Ahahaha...』Xia Houyuan laughed loudly and waved his hands, 『Hey...not yet, it can’t be called that...Okay, let’s do it, move everyone away! 』


    『General! General! Suddenly a soldier shouted outside the big tent, "In the camp, a lot of kerosene pots were found in the camp!" 』


    "what? ! 』Xia Houyuan''s face changed, and he was about to stand up when he suddenly felt some dust falling from the sky above the big tent and landed on the table. Xia Houyuan looked up, stunned for a moment, then couldn''t help screaming, slapped the table case to the ground, was about to rush out, suddenly felt something abnormal in the soles of his feet, looked down, and found that under the table case, there was a sudden shock. It''s just a palm-sized clay pot that has been overturned! And on Xia Houyuan''s leather boots, he had already stepped on a puddle of black oil!


    "not good! Got it! ”Xia Houyuan ran away, frantically shaking the black oil on his leather boots, and then tried to wipe off the black oil, “Quick! quick! Order to go down! The whole army retreats! Get out! 』


    Among some bushes far away from the camp, some vegetation rose up strangely, and then revealed a human shape, raising a longbow. And on the longbow, the arrow with the fire cloth hung on it was ignited, and then drew a brilliant parabola in the air, and landed on the top of the tent in the camp!


    The flames of the rockets that did not land on the combustibles were very small, and seemed to be extinguished in the wind in the next moment, and there was not much threat. Between exhalation and inhalation, the raging fire rises into the sky!


    Cao Jun, who was collecting supplies everywhere in the camp, looked around in a daze at this moment, and found that something was wrong.


    If Cao Chun allocated Xia Houyuan all veterans, then even if Xia Houyuan didn''t give an order, he could more or less rely on his instincts in the battlefield to detect abnormalities and take corresponding actions. However, among these Cao troops, only a small Some, that is, the ones who first discovered the kerosene were veterans, while the rest were recruits, or local county soldiers in Yuyang. In comparison, they were naturally much worse.


    When some veterans of the Cao army immediately discarded their belongings and began to assemble, these recruits still didn''t know where to put the things they had so hard to grab in their hands, and even became so flustered that they even forgot to put their weapons for a while Where is it... In fact, the weapon he just put down is right behind him, but it''s a pity that he turned left and right and couldn''t find it...


    Flames are raging!


    Messy rags and splinters of wood were also quickly ignited, and for a while it seemed that everything was burning...


    In fact, Zhao Yun''s camp is very large, and there are not many places that actually burn. It''s just that water and fire are ruthless. After all, they are things that humans fear. Under a moment of panic, not everyone has the potential to be a firefighter. They can burn fires around them from time to time. Under the ascension, you can calmly observe where you stand.


    Zhao Yun and Gan Feng, one on the left and one on the right, each came from a distance with more than a thousand cavalry. It would take some time. If Xia Houyuan could adjust his troops in time, he would have the power to fight. However, the flames made it difficult to execute the seemingly most basic assembly orders on weekdays. Cao Jun''s soldiers were in a group on the left and one on the right, in a mess and out of formation.


    The three-color flag rushed forward, Zhao Yun and Gan Feng roared, like two sharp edges of scissors, strangling toward the chaotic Xia Houyuan''s troops!


    『Withdraw! Get out! 』Xia Houyuan completely forgot his rhetoric before, and he didn’t remember what he was thinking about just now. He only thought of one thing, Zhao Yun is here!


    Head-on one-on-one, he can''t beat Zhao Yun''s, let alone in such a hectic situation...


    And there is something even more terrifying about Xia Houyuan. If he can''t get out of the danger quickly, maybe Cao Chun can openly close the city gate and refuse him to retreat into the city!
