On April 13, in the fourth year of Tiantong, Chen Cangcheng, General Wudangwei Junyue Lei was lying on the map and carefully analyzing. Just a day ago, they received a military order sent by Li Siye to seek an opportunity to defeat the Qin army outside the city, and then return to Ji County to march into Chang'an together. This made Chang Mao and Yue Lei very excited. They thought that Li Siye would not have any trouble to attack Chang'an. Unexpectedly, there was still a chance now.

However, if you want to join the ranks of attacking Chang'an, you must defeat the Qin army outside the city. Otherwise, Li Siye would not have let them return, but the Qin army outside the city could not be defeated so easily. Although Yue Lei and Chang Mao combined 20,000 troops, there were more than 10,000 Qin army outside the city. If you really fight, it is not certain who wins and who loses.

"Yue Lei, you guy is looking at the map all day long. Did you think about how to fight the Qin army? According to me, it would be better to directly attack the Qin army's central army and fight them head-on. With our strength, it is not difficult to defeat the Qin army." Chang Mao, who was standing beside him, looked at Yue Lei helplessly and said.

Yue Lei stood up, looked at Chang Mao with disgust, and said, "Chang Mao, I'm talking about you, a kid, are you a tiger? The reason why the general asked us to defeat the Qin army as soon as possible and return to Mei County is that we hope that we can strengthen the strength of the army. If you say that you are fighting head-on with the Qin army, even if you win, how many of our 20,000 troops will be left? Even if you go to Mei County, you will do nothing. What's the point?"

"What do you think of? Now the Qin army is blocking the door. If we don't fight with them, we can't even get out of the city gate. If we want to use a trick, we won't have a chance." Chang Mao said endlessly.

"Stop quarrel, I thought of a solution." Yue Lei couldn't stand Chang Mao's loud voice, and at this time, he also thought of a solution.

"What method? I knew you can do it. Doing things with you is comfortable." Chang Mao said happily when he heard Yue Lei think of a solution.

"Burn Chen Cang!" Yue Lei's eyes lit up, he smiled ghostly and said.

"Burning Chen Cang? Yue Lei, are you okay? We are staying in Chen Cang. Do you want to set fire to yourself?" Chang Mao was shocked when he heard this. His 20,000 troops were in Chen Cang City. Isn't it just to set fire to yourself? What a bad idea?

"Who said I want to set fire to myself? Can you listen to me?" Yue Lei glanced at Chang Mao and said angrily. This kid always took things out of context.

"Then you say!" Chang Mao said.

Yue Lei paused and said, "Now that Mei County is surrounded by the generals, it is only a matter of time before it falls. Chang'an has no way to reinforce Mei County. So looking at the entire Guanzhong, there is only more than 10,000 Qin troops outside the city who can rescue Mei County. So if you have the opportunity to break through Chen Cang and go to Mei County, the Qin army will definitely not give up. Now we will give them this opportunity."

"Give them a chance? How do you give it?" Chang Mao asked with a confused look on his face. After all, he is not a brain-consuming person, and it is difficult to understand what Yue Lei said.

Yue Lei also knew that it was difficult to understand Chang Mao’s meaning based on this sentence alone, so he said patiently: “We acted like giving up Chen Cang and returning to Mei County and leading the army to evacuate Chen Cang. However, it is not easy to get the Qin army to be trapped, so I did not mean to lead the Qin army to pursue him. Instead, before leaving Chen Cang, the city was filled with fire-burning objects. After the Qin army entered Chen Cang, it would not pursue our army easily and stay in Chen Cang for a while. At this time, we asked the ambushers to ignite the fire and burn the Qin army and Chen Cang City with fire." At this point, Yue Lei showed a fierce expression on his face.

"What! You're so cruel!" Chang Mao said in surprise: "No wonder you drove all the people in the city out as soon as you arrived in Chen Cang. It seems that you have already made this idea, but if the fire broke out in the city, the Qin army won't run away?"

Yue Lei looked at Chang Mao speechlessly. The main reason why he moved all the people in the city as soon as he entered the city was to beware of the secret sons of the Qin army in the city. Now it can only be considered wrong or wrong. However, in Chang Mao's words, he became a conspirator, but Yue Lei did not explain anything, because he knew that with Chang Mao's pig brain, no matter how much he explained, it would be useless.

"What's the cruel thing? As the saying goes, "No poison is not a husband, but no one can die in war? Now we are going to war with the Qin army. The one who dies is either the Qin army or our army. What's the point of pity? As long as the people are not hurt, even the Emperor will not do anything to me. As for whether the Qin army will run away, that's certain. The Qin army is not a fool. If there is a fire in the city, they will definitely run away, but if they run away, we won't block them?" Yue Lei said.

"Stop it? How to block it?" Chang Mao asked. Although he also felt that Yue Lei's idea was too cruel, he didn't care so much. As Yue Lei said, when the two armies faced each other, there was no need to be merciful. Pity for the enemy was cruel to himself.

Yue Lei said: "After leaving the city, you quietly bypassed Chen Cang and went to the place where the Qin army entered the city. I blocked the gate where we left. As long as the Qin army came out, they would kill them directly."

"What about the other two city gates?" Chang Mao asked again. There are more cities like Wancheng and Chang'an, and Chen Cang also has four city gates.

When Yue Lei heard this, he sighed and said, "It's already a disaster for the fire to burn Chen Cang. We can't do everything. Let's regard these two city gates as a way to live for the Qin army!"

"Okay, then when will we evacuate Chen Cang?" Chang Mao said. Since the plan has been decided, when will it start to be implemented?

Yue Lei thought for a while and said, "The faster the better. The general holds 70,000 elite troops. It is not difficult to capture Mei County, so we don't have much time. You can ask the soldiers to collect the fire-induced objects, prepare enough tinder oil, and then select a group of loyal and brave men to lurk in the city to ignite the fire. This task can be said to be a life-and-death death. Tell the soldiers that if anyone takes on this task, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, after returning to the court in the future, I will personally ask for credit for them in front of His Majesty. In addition, if the fire breaks out, you will escape from the city if you have the chance, but you cannot go to the east gate and the west gate, so as not to be accidentally injured by our army!"

"I understand, I know how to do it!" Chang Mao nodded and left.

Two days later, after everything was ready, Yue Lei and Chang Mao were ready to lead their troops to evacuate. Before leaving, Yue Lei asked Chang Mao: "Chang Mao, are you all ready? We only have this opportunity, so we can't fail."

Chang Mao patted his chest, nodded and said, "Are you worried about my business? You are all ready. Once the fire-burning thing we prepared this time, once the fire-burning thing starts, it will be enough to burn the entire Chen Cangcheng for three days and three nights."

"That's good!" Yue Lei nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "Have all the soldiers who left the fire found? Are there any records? If they die in Chencang City, we will present their achievements. This is what the soldiers exchanged for their lives, and there will be no mistakes."

"Don't worry, this time I found more than a hundred brothers, all of whom were not married and had no worries. And I also promised that if they could escape from Chencang City alive and return to the army, I would promote them to generals." Chang Mao said.

"Since that's the case, let's go!" After saying that, Yue Lei led his army out of the city. After leaving the city, he led his army to the east, while Chang Mao led his army around from behind Chencang City and ran to the back of the Qin army.

The next day, when the Qin army sentries saw the empty Chencang city, they immediately reported to the chief general of the Qin army.

Geng Ming, the chief general of the Qin army here, was the parent-child of Geng Yue, a famous general of the Qin army. After Geng Yue led his army to Qinchuan, he knew the importance of Sanguan, so he asked his own son to lead his army to garrison.

When Geng Ming received the news, he was also very surprised. Could it be that the Deng army had already evacuated Chen Cangcheng? So he hurriedly sent someone to investigate.

After a while, the scout who went to investigate came back to report and said, "Report to General, there is no Deng army in Chencang City. In addition, according to the people nearby, late last night, a large number of Deng army left Chencang City and walked east."

"Why did Deng's army suddenly evacuate Chen Cang? Go east? I guess he is going to Mei County. My father is stationed in Mei County and his strength is not as strong as Deng's army. Now he has 20,000 more Deng's army. I think my father's situation is very threatening." Geng Ming murmured.

Then he said to the deputy general Geng Li: "Geng Li, please raise your troops and follow me to the city."

"Here!" Geng Li replied.

Geng Ming led his army into the empty Chencang City. As soon as he entered the city, Geng Ming smelled a strange smell, but after careful investigation, he did not find any Deng Jun's figure, so Geng Ming did not take it seriously.

After taking full control of Chen Cang City, Geng Ming was finally sure that Deng Jun had indeed given up Chen Cang City and went to reinforce Mei County. However, it was getting late now, and it was not suitable to move troops now. And I don’t know if Deng Jun would have ambushed in front, so Geng Ming decided to leave tomorrow.

At night, when Qin soldiers fell asleep one by one, a sound rang out from Chen Cang's dark streets, saying, "Liu Er, it's time."

The person who was called Liu Er nodded and replied, "Then let's start, brothers, we live and die together today. If we can still live in the future, I will be in Yanlailou, Wancheng, to invite the brothers!"

These are all the elites of Wudangwei. After following the generals of Wudangwei for many years, they have heard from the generals of Wudangwei that Yanlailou many times. This is the number one restaurant in Wancheng, and it is not a nobleman and has no right to enter.

"Okay, thank you Brother Liu Er!" In the darkness, countless voices sounded.

"Okay! Light the fire!" With Liu Er's order, countless flames soared into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire sky!

"It's gone!" After the fire broke out, a rapid voice broke the tranquility of the night. The Qin soldiers woke up from their sleep. When they saw the raging fires around them, they were all frightened and fled at first!

In the Chencang County Government, Geng Ming, who had already rested, was also awakened by a noise. Before he could ask what had happened, the deputy general Geng Li hurriedly rushed in and said anxiously: "General, there are fires everywhere, and the entire Chencang City is already burning red."

"Tell me clearly, what's going on?" Geng Ming asked in a daze.

Geng Li said hurriedly: "General, I don't know what happened. The city suddenly caught fire and it was out of control. Now the entire city is in a fire, and it can't be saved."

When Geng Ming heard this, he fell to the ground with a thud. Seeing this, Geng Li quickly helped Geng Ming up.

"Puff!" Geng Ming spit out a mouthful of blood and shouted sadly: "Yue Lei, Chang Mao, you are so cruel. You actually want to burn us to death with a fire!"

"General, what should we do now?" Geng Li asked.

Geng Ming thought for a while and said, "Hurry up, gather the troops and rush out, you can't stay in the city anymore."

Geng Li nodded, then guarded Geng Ming to leave.

When he arrived in the city, Geng Ming felt as if he was shocked when he saw the flames soaring around him. He knew very well that even if he could rush out, there would be only a few more than 10,000 troops left.
