Chapter 595: Burning Takayanagi

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Liu Bei planned to retreat. On this day, the horn of the Xianbei people had just sounded, and suddenly a cavalry came to report: "Great Khan, the Han army wants to escape." Simon has gone a thousand times. ”

Kebi could hear this, and was about to order someone to be sent to pursue, when suddenly another team of scouts came to report: "Great Khan, more than a thousand Han horsemen have also taken the east gate." ”

Kebi can turn his brain and laugh: "The Han army is poor, and it wants to divide our soldiers, and then while I am unprepared, most of them go out and escape." "Divide the troops, and then ambush, this kind of routine, I can also play. Kebineng consciously guessed Han Jun's thoughts.

So he instructed his subordinates: "Send two hundred horsemen each, keep an eye on the soldiers and horses on the east and west, and see where they are going!" "The two horsemen under his command went as ordered.

Kebineng stroked the messy beard under his chin, stared at Gao Liucheng and said, "Liu Bei, look where you are going!" So he did not send a siege on the city, but waited for the city to move. Sure enough, as Kebineng expected, before long, Liu Bei led the army out of the city, first to the east, and after breaking through the defense line of Kebineng's troops, he turned headlong to the south.

Seeing that Liu Bei had left, his subordinates hurriedly said: "Great Khan, Liu Bei has left, you can chase him quickly." ”

Kebineng laughed and said, "Don't worry, Liu Bei has a good reputation, and once he leaves, he will take the people in the city with him." The team is mixed with the old and weak, women, how can it be fast at such a speed. And follow it separately, and attack it when it happens. His army will be in chaos. So he sent tens of thousands of people to surround Liu Bei.

The subordinate asked what to do next. Kebineng looked at Takayanagi City and said, "Capture Takayanagi and enter the city to rest." Our troops have come from afar, and the army is out in all directions, and it is impossible to leave a base for rest. Now that the Takayanagi Han army is gone, it is my gain. "What better place to rest than a city? The tent can't stop the biting north wind.

It is better to say that it is a siege, than to say that it is a direct occupation. The Xianbei people who climbed up to the top of the city found that there was not a single Han army, so they went down to the city, opened the city gate, and welcomed their Great Khan in. When Kebineng entered the city, he saw that the whole city was empty, and only a fishy smell came. couldn't help frowning, so he ordered his subordinates to search the whole city.

After a while, the people came to report that there was not a single living person in the city, and that before leaving, the Han people had slaughtered many cattle, blocked the wells, and destroyed many things that were too late to take away.

Kebi could hear it, so he smiled and said, "Sure enough, he abandoned the city and fled." These things that they can't take away would rather be destroyed than taken advantage of by me, hehe, it is also in line with the character of the Han people. ”

The city was full of filth, slaughtered poultry and large animals, and entrails and animal blood were everywhere. And a lot of furniture and other things can be seen along the road from time to time. It is estimated that when the people evacuated, they brought all their belongings with them, and later had to abandon them under the orders of the Han army. So littering everywhere along the road.

The smell was not good, but Kebineng didn't care, he had been besieging the city for several days, with countless casualties, and he had long been accustomed to the smell of blood. Seeing that the city was in chaos, he had no plans to clean it up. He walked straight to the city office. The official office may be because Liu Bei was once stationed, and the inside is very clean. After a careful search again, they even found dozens of jars of fine wine and a granary that had not had time to burn. Kebi can not help but be overjoyed. I hurriedly moved in and lived. He also ordered the generals of various departments to lead people to search the whole city, and the Han people were in such a hurry, so in a hurry, it was definitely too late to take away a large amount of money and goods. The size of a mosquito is also meat, so if you can search for a little, it would be good.

Just when the Xianbei people were rummaging around in the city, Kebi could not wait to taste the wine in the official office. In a secret passage in the city, Hu Guang quietly crawled out, and behind him, soldiers rushed out. Hu Guang took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "Action!" ”

Hu Guang was abducted to Youzhou by Zhong Xuan, except for Gao Liuling. Who would have thought that it would not be long before he turned to the text with force, and now he is about to start leading troops again. However, Takayanagi is only the most familiar with him, and who else can he keep except for him. After Hu Guang came out, other places in the four cities also appeared one after another. They hid in the tunnels for a long time, with the sole purpose of staying and setting fires.

The Xianbei people rummaged around the city for the money of the Han people, and suddenly, a fire appeared in a house. The Xianbei people who found it didn't care, and only said that it was the bastard who set fire to the house. But I didn't know that such a thing happened in the four cities. A Xianbei general was waiting, suddenly twisted his head, looked at one place, and said, "Why is there a fire?" ”

He wanted to save him, but suddenly several cavalry rushed over: "General, the big thing is not good, there is a fire in the city." When General Xianbei heard this, he looked around and saw that the city was full of fire, which had risen to the sky, and the whole city was bright.

Kebineng had already received a report there, and he didn't care about it before, saying: "Fighting the fire is, why panic." ”

When he came out to take a look, he couldn't help but be stunned.

When I looked up, I saw that the whole city was on fire, and there was a churning sea of fire everywhere. And in the city, there are constant screams. Kebineng's heart trembled, and he vaguely guessed, but he still couldn't believe it. It's just that he didn't dare to slack off anymore, and hurriedly ordered all the tribes to lead the people to rush out of the city first, the fire has been completed, and he can't save it if he wants to, and if he stays, it will be a dead end.

Ban Gu recorded in the "Geographical Chronicles of the Han Book" that Gao Nu had water that could be burned. Although the Han people of this era did not know what this combustible water was called, they had already begun to use it. Use it to light the fire, lighting, except for the smoke is a little thicker, it is very useful. You don't have to go to the mountains to work hard. Moreover, some people have found that it can be used to treat skin diseases, and it can be seen to be miraculous. Such a good thing, Liu Bei will naturally control it in his hands. After he conquered the state, he sent people to Gaonu County. However, he did not go to the surface of the Weishui River to fish for this kind of oil and water like the common people. Instead, they chose to dig wells. Since there is so much oil that it flows out on its own, it should be no problem to choose a source to drill a well.

In fact, later, the ancient working people had already dug wells by hand in Gaonu to extract oil. Liu Bei just advanced this time a little bit.

Drain the enemy, then abandon Takayanagi, and then dump a large amount of oil in Takayanagi Castle, and finally set it on fire. The whole process is interlocking. In order to allow Kebi to follow the pace of the Han army, Liu Bei Group deduced countless times. Now is finally the time to reap the fruits of victory.

There is such a thing as oil, and the Xianbei people have never seen it at all. Even unheard of. The slaughter of livestock in the city made it bloody everywhere, but it was only because the smell of oil was too strange, so it had to be covered up with the smell of blood, hoping that the Xianbei people would not be too sensitive.

Liu first used himself as a bait to lure Kebineng to come, and then fought with him in Gaoliu, and sent two reinforcements to deliberately defeat, all for the sake of arrogance and Boneng heart. His strategy succeeded in confusing Kobineng. Kebineng thought that the Han army had fought many battles and its combat power had dropped sharply, so when Liu Bei fled, he did not choose to pursue the whole army, but divided his troops. Half of the soldiers went to chase Liu Bei, and half of the soldiers couldn't wait to enter the city to search. Then, there was a tragedy.
