Chapter 754 Set Fire And Burn The City!
Wang Fang was stunned for Cao Cao’s sudden inquiry.
He obviously didn’t quite understand what Cao Cao’s move meant, but he nodded subconsciously: “They are all people I trust, and they all want to see you, the lord, but the city gate is the key place, how can it be? Aren’t we our own?”
After Cao Cao heard this, he nodded slowly.
“Ziyuan, if you attack Shouchun, where will you attack?
Hearing Cao Cao’s question, Xu You pondered for a while, and then said, “It must be from the north!”
“The difference between north and south is more than ten miles, and the chance of exposure is higher. Since a sneak attack will naturally have an unexpected effect.”
Xu You and Cao Cao’s expressions were extremely ugly as soon as these words came out.
“Come on, go to the South Gate! Go to the South Gate!!!”
Wang Fang and Sun Bin didn’t realize why Cao Cao was in such a hurry.
At this moment, the deafening scream of killing was heard in the distance. Although the source of the sound was far away, everyone could hear it clearly.
“What’s going on? What happened to the North Gate? We killed all Yuan Shao’s henchmen!!” Wang Fang shouted towards his generals.
The school captains under his command also had extremely ugly expressions, and they looked at each other with doubts on their faces.
Only Cao Cao and Xu You seemed to have thought of something, Xu You sighed and said, “My lord, we were tricked by Yue Fei!”
“It turns out that he sow discord, all for tonight!
“When we both lose, we will suddenly attack! This move is ruthless!”
“In order to prevent any accidents from happening in the plan, he even played a game to attract us to the South City Gate!”
“Now that the North City Gate has fallen, it is almost impossible for us to defend Shouchun City!”
“Meng De, let’s retreat!!
Xu You’s words fell into the ears of Wang Fang, Sun Bin and other generals, and their faces were extremely ugly.
Their new master, Cao Cao, had deliberately asked them if there was any change in the Huaihe River and if Yue Fei’s army had moved.
But the problem is precisely in Yue Fei’s circle, which makes them how to face Cao Cao?
“My lord… My lord, when I was deceived by Yue Fei, I didn’t even notice their movements, damn it! 35
“We are willing to let us handle it, and we will never complain no matter what!!99
Wang Fang was the first to kneel on the ground, and Sun Bin and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
They defected to Cao Cao, but they came for glory and wealth. If they directly admitted their mistakes and were punished, what was the point of their rebellion?
But seeing Wang Fang kneeling on the ground begging for guilt, they didn’t dare to delay, and knelt down and begged for guilt.
Cao Cao’s face was ashen, why didn’t he hate these people in front of him.
But how?
If you want to punish the crime now, not only will you not be able to save the current defeat, you will even worry about your own life!
After all, Wang Fang and the others controlled all the horses in Shouchun City, condemned them, and said that they would not be allowed to make dangerous moves. This was something Cao Cao didn’t want to see anyway.
Xu You obviously also thought of this, and he persuaded: “My lord, Yue Fei is always cunning, and the Huaihe River is very long, so it’s not surprising that he can come here quietly!
“Now that they have entered Shouchun, we must not waste time here!
“I think it’s better to retreat first, and then take a long-term plan, how about it?”
Xu You handed over the steps, and Cao Cao nodded immediately: “The generals don’t need to blame themselves, Yue Fei is cunning, and your thoughts are all on Yuan Benchu. It is normal to have such negligence.”
“I have only one order right now, set the city on fire!””
“We must not leave the intact Shouchun City to Yue Fei and Xue Rengui!
As soon as these words came out, everyone present cried out in surprise.
Xu You was stunned for a while, and then he understood Cao Cao’s worries.
There are many kinds of materials in Shouchun City, and this place is just at the point of attacking Yangzhou and crossing the Yangtze River.
Leaving this place for Yue Fei and Xue Rengui would undoubtedly be more powerful, but if they were completely destroyed, leaving them a mess would greatly delay their attack time.
Therefore, Xu You sighed and didn’t say much!
Wang Fang and the others did not speak when they saw Xu You, although they felt a trace of cruelty in their hearts, they did not dare to say anything.
“Don’t worry, my lord, I will definitely do it!”
After saying this, he bowed his hands to Cao Cao, and Wang Fang walked to the front of the team: “Everyone obeyed the order, set fire, and burned the city! The people in the city who are willing to leave follow us, and those who do not want to drive out!”
“Take everything you can take away with me, don’t leave a cent to Yue Fei!!
Several orders in a row made all the soldiers excited.
Such unscrupulous plundering is really rare.
If it weren’t for Yue Fei’s army entering the city, I’m afraid Cao Cao would never have issued such a cruel order.
Therefore, after Wang Fang issued the order to disband each team, all the team leaders rushed to the place they liked with their soldiers, for fear that the good place would be occupied by others.
For a while, the entire Shouchun City was in flames, screaming and screaming, screaming into the sky.
