Wang Bodang only paid attention to the scorching sun and looked for the shade of the forest to let the army escape from the heat.

But he didn't consider at all that once Li Changqing used fire attacks, it would be a disaster!

In history, Liu Bei made such mistakes when he conquered Wu, and was burned by Lu Xun for 700 miles, thus kicking off the demise of the Shu Han Dynasty.

However, with Liu Bei's lessons learned, did Wang Bodang really not take this into consideration?

In fact he thought about it!

He wanted to kill Li Changqing to avenge Li Mi, and he also wanted to become famous by fighting!

The army was ordered to camp in the shade of the forest, partly to escape the heat, but also to lure Li Changqing's army across the river!

Just by moving the camp, Li Changqing might even consider whether to forcefully cross the Yellow River.

But if their camp is stationed in the shadows of the forest, which is extremely suitable for fire attacks, they can add a heavyweight bargaining chip to Li Changqing's forced crossing of the Yellow River and overwhelm the last line of defense!

On the high mountain, all the generals were delighted and asked Li Changqing for orders to cross the river and attack the enemy with fire.

Li Changqing looked at it for a long time, pointed at a valley on the east side of the Yellow River with his long sword, and said:

"There is a faint murderous aura in the valley here, and there must be an ambush inside. You guys are relying on your bravery, but you don't know that this is Wang Bo's plan to lure the enemy.

If our army crosses the Yellow River forcefully and the ambush troops emerge from the valley, the situation will be critical!

Let's wait patiently for Gao Guojiu's cronies to look for opportunities, and cooperate with others to cross the river. Don't be fooled by Wang Bo."

When the generals heard this, they quickly turned their attention to the valley pointed by Li Changqing.

That valley was indeed a very suitable place for an ambush!

Suddenly, they were all shocked, and they broke out in cold sweat from behind.

They all bent down and bowed their heads to Li Changqing. , said:"Your Majesty is wise! We almost fell into Wang Bodang’s plan!

Li Changqing said:"Three days later, the enemy camp will be set up, and there will be an ambush in the valley.""

……

Three days later, Li Changqing and others would wait and see on the mountain.

Sure enough, tens of thousands of troops were seen coming out of the valley and returning to the camp.

Li Jing and other generals all sincerely admired Li Changqing:"The general has the essence of the Six Tao, and he is very resourceful. We are not as good as him!" It takes three days for an army of 200,000 to set up camp, so the dry food carried by the 30,000 ambushes is also Three days of dry food.

If Li Changqing fails to be ambushed, he must immediately return to the camp and do a good job in defense along the Yellow River.

On the high mountain, Li Changqing said:"Uncle Gao's close followers are stationed to the east of the Yellow River. In the past few days, we have made contact with me. The time to cross the river to defeat the enemy will be in these few days!

When the other side has prepared a response, our army will take advantage of it. A small boat made by the Mohist family. It cooperates with the inside and the outside to sneak across the Yellow River and kill the puppet emperor's 200,000 troops without leaving any trace behind!"

Hearing this, all the generals were excited.

As long as they cross the Yellow River, the army can march straight in and fight all the way to Chang'an!

At that time, Li Shimin, who must be killed, will have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth!

……

Hulao Pass!

Li Ji, the general of Zhenxi, was inspecting various passes to prevent state and county soldiers from defecting to Li Changqing.

Suddenly, an imperial envoy arrived with Li Shimin's imperial edict.

"Zhongshu ordered Gao Shilian to secretly collude with the traitor Li Changqing. In order to have his trusted followers lead Youzhou's army across the river, he urgently ordered Li Ji, the general of Zhenxi, to sit on the Yellow River and eliminate the traitors and spies!"

"Sir, take the order!"

After Li Ji heard the imperial edict, he felt his heart beat faster for no reason.

A very bad premonition arose from the bottom of his heart.

He quickly ordered 30,000 troops to rush to the Yellow River with the imperial edict.

It was less than ten miles away from Hulao Pass. , just when a general came on flying horse.

This person was Wang Bodang's deputy general!

He came specially from the army garrison to see Li Ji, the general of Zhenxi.

When he moved Wang Bodang's camp to a secret place in the mountains and forests, , to escape the scorching heat, Li Ji was shocked and his face was horrified.

"Next to the mountains and under the forest, the village is surrounded by trees and fences, stretching for more than 300 miles. If Youzhou's army crosses the river, two hundred thousand troops will be in danger!

The deputy general said quickly:"The ferries, ships and bridges along the Yellow River were all destroyed." The Youzhou army is absolutely unable to cross the river, how can our army be in danger? Li

Ji sighed and said:"Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty camped for 700 miles, but was burned down by the governor of Wu State. Wang Bodang wanted to use this to lure King Wu to cross the Yellow River and defeat the Youzhou army.

However, things are unpredictable. Zhongshu ordered Gao Shilian to secretly collude with King Wu, and cooperate inside and outside. Once the Youzhou army is extradited across the Yellow River... Your Majesty will be exhausted!"

When the deputy general heard this, he was frightened to death and his face turned pale.

"General, what should we do?

Li Ji looked bitter and said,"Who taught me to go to the stronghold like this?" You can kill this person!"

The deputy general said:"It is the general's will."

Li Ji sighed three times, rode up on his horse, and said,"I just hope that I can arrive before the spies collude with King Wu."

……

To the north of the Yellow River, where the Dragon Cavalry Army and Modao Army are stationed.

King Wu’s tent!

Li Changqing sat on the main seat boldly and raised the tent to gather the officers and men to listen to the order.

"To the east of the Yellow River, Uncle Gao Guo sent people to support our army. At three o'clock in the morning, the army crossed the river!

Order the whole army, each man to hold a handful of thatch, containing sulfur, flame and saltpeter, and each with fire!

I want to imitate Lu Boyan of the Eastern Han Dynasty and set fire to the camp, killing the puppet emperor's 200,000 troops in one fell swoop!"

After speaking, Li Xiuning, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Su Dingfang, etc. came out in response, with excitement on their faces, and said:

"Please obey King Wu’s orders!"

It was night, at three o'clock in the morning, and the sky was dark.

Li Changqing's army all wrapped up the horses' hooves and wrapped their mouths to make them silent.

Taking advantage of the night and the support of Gao Shilian's cronies on the other side, they took advantage of the internal and external cooperation and took a ride made by the Mohists. The boats quietly crossed the Yellow River.

At Mao hour, the sky was slightly bright, and all the 250,000 troops quietly arrived on the other side.

Li Changqing summoned the generals and issued an order:"Wang Bodang stationed his camp in a dense place with trees. It is windy along the river. God's will allows me to attack him with fire! Send an order to the three armies to rush and kill the enemy camp!

When we got to the camp, we lit up the fire with the wind. The enemy had thirty battalions, but only fifteen were burned, one at each interval.

Ge Jun brought dry food in advance and was not allowed to retreat temporarily. He pursued them day and night until the 200,000 enemy troops were wiped out!"

The generals took the order and led their respective soldiers to kill Wang Bodang's 300-mile company!
