Chapter 334 Cao Cao's cavalry sets out! The Red Lotus Karmic Fire within Wuchao!
Wuchao
Jiang Qi sat listlessly in the seat that had originally belonged to Chunyu Qiong.
Wuchao has a peculiar terrain, situated in the midst of a valley.
Unlike traditional valleys, the terrain near Wuchao is not steep, but rather quite gentle.
This is why Wuchao was chosen as a grain storage location.
It greatly facilitates the transportation of grain!
But as the saying goes, every advantage has its disadvantages.
The disadvantages of Wuchao are also obvious.
Theoretically, if Cao Cao's cavalry were to attack, they could charge directly into Wuchao without stopping.
To prevent cavalry raids, Chunyu Qiong had many barricades specially built while he was still alive.
The fortifications are absolutely brilliant!
But when Chunyu Qiong was about to leave, he was instructed by Yuan Shao to dismantle all those barricades!
Jiang Qixin is very tired.
Are you out of your mind, Chunyu Qiong?
The barricades were put up and placed here, but they were taken down after being put up. Are they afraid that I, Jiang Qi, will benefit from the shade of the trees planted by my predecessors?
Extremely bored, Jiang Qi pondered what he could do to pass the time.
But after thinking it over, he realized that staying in this Wuchao place would really make him bored out of his mind!
If Cao Cao's army doesn't come, consider it a holiday.
If Cao Cao's army comes, it will be a fight to the death!
"General, I have some fine wine here. Would you like to try some?"
Suddenly, a centurion-like leader of the Wuchao garrison enthusiastically recommended his fine wine to Jiang Qi.
"liquor?"
Jiang Qi smacked his lips, wanting to drink but not daring to.
What if Cao Cao's army suddenly attacks, and I'm found to be completely drunk and helpless? Wouldn't I be utterly doomed?
The junior leader continued to persuade:
"General, the sentries within a forty-mile radius have already reported that no suspicious enemies have approached this area."
"Please feel free to drink it."
"What can one endure a long night without wine?"
Jiang Qi slapped his thigh suddenly!
That's absolutely true!
Having been "exiled" to this godforsaken place, Wuchao, life seemed to have lost all hope.
If there's no other way to have fun, then we're truly doomed.
Drinking alcohol can at least help you temporarily forget your troubles and fall asleep peacefully.
"What's your name?"
"From now on, you will work under my command."
Jiang Qi accepted the wine from the leader with an appreciative expression.
The leader said with a fawning expression:
"My surname is Liao, and my name is Liao Hua."
"He was originally a subordinate of General Chunyu Qiong of Wuchao."
Jiang Qi nodded and said:
"One of Chunyu Qiong's men?"
"How do you think Chunyu Qiong compares to me, General?"
Liao Hua immediately adopted a respectful expression and said:
How can the light of a firefly compare to the light of the bright moon?
"Chunyu Qiong is far inferior to the general!"
"Hahaha, good lad, you've got potential."
"From now on, you will stay under my command as the deputy leader of my personal guard, how about that?"
Liao Hua fell to the ground with a thud, tears welling in his eyes, and cried out:
"It is my great fortune to be valued by the general."
"From this day forward, I will serve you faithfully, General, even unto death!"
Jiang Qi was very satisfied with Liao Hua's attitude.
He admires such pragmatic and capable individuals.
Liao Hua was also very savvy.
Knowing that one pot of wine wasn't enough for Jiang Qi, they somehow managed to get two more pots.
That night, Jiang Qi got very drunk and kept babbling incoherently.
Perhaps due to past repressions, Jiang Qi went on a drunken rampage before falling into a deep sleep.
Outside the Crow's Nest
One after another, the sound of horses' hooves rang out.
Yuan's army did indeed deploy spies throughout the forty-mile radius around Wuchao.
but if……
Even the scouts couldn't outrun Cao Cao's cavalry!
This time, the Dragon Cavalry under Zhao Yun's command and Lü Lingqi's new Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry will make their appearance.
It is worth mentioning that Lü Lingqi herself was not present.
She became pregnant with Su Yu's child and stayed in Xuchang to recuperate.
The Bingzhou wolf cavalry under his command were temporarily led by Zhang Liao.
At this moment, apart from Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao.
Cao Cao, Su Yu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Xu You also appeared in these two cavalry units.
Seeing the Yuan army scouts fleeing in panic ahead, Zhang Liao shot and killed one of them with an arrow.
In the blink of an eye.
Cao Cao's two elite cavalry units were less than ten miles away from Wuchao.
The Yuan army inside Wuchao was immediately thrown into chaos.
Before Chunyu Qiong left, he specifically ordered the removal of the existing barricades, and the new barricades have not yet been installed.
On Yuan Jun's side, there was almost nothing that could stop Cao Jun!
"Quickly find General Jiang. He is a strategist and surely has a solution."
The two captains guarding the entrance to Wuchao hurriedly headed towards Jiang Qi's residence.
But just as they arrived at the door.
Liao Hua suddenly stepped forward with his personal guards and told them righteously:
What urgent matter do you have to discuss?
"The general specifically instructed that he needs to rest well today, and no one is allowed to disturb him!"
The two captains were immediately in a panic.
What the hell is this?
Cao Cao's cavalry was about to charge, but their own commander was still fast asleep?
The two captains repeatedly emphasized the seriousness of the situation, but Liao Hua was like a gatekeeper, refusing to let them in.
Desperate, the two angrily forced their way inside.
What they saw was Jiang Qi lying sprawled on the bed, snoring, hugging a gourd, and drooling in a dazed state!
"groove!"
The two captains were furious.
But their calls were useless; they couldn't wake the fast-sleeping Jiang Qi at all.
Left with no other choice, the two captains led their troops in a fierce battle against the Cao army cavalry that was about to reach the camp gate.
Liao Hua revealed a mocking smile.
Then, he led more than a hundred of his men to draw their weapons and take out the arson tools they had prepared beforehand, setting Wuchao ablaze with unprecedented flames!
Yes, this Liao Hua is indeed Liao Hua.
After Chunyu Qiong left, when Jiang Qi arrived, Liao Hua led over a hundred elite soldiers from Cao Cao's camp to infiltrate Wuchao.
When they met Jiang Qi's men, they falsely claimed to be soldiers under Chunyu Qiong's command.
Upon seeing Chunyu Qiong's former army, he lied and claimed to be Jiang Qi's man, revealing that he never told the truth.
It should be noted that Liao Hua, unlike Wei Yan, was not a direct disciple of Jia Xu.
However, he had a good relationship with Wei Yan and also learned many bad ideas from Jia Xu.
Jiang Qi, who was fast asleep, had no idea what was happening before Liao Hua and his soldiers captured him without a scratch.
The battle outside the crow's nest was also one-sided.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao each killed two captains, and led the Longxiang Cavalry and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry as if they were in an empty field.
In his sleep, Jiang Qi smelled a burning odor.
He was then awakened by a bucket of horse urine!
Cao Cao looked at him with a smile.
Standing around him, apart from the captured Wuchao garrison, were all Longxiang cavalry and Bingzhou wolf cavalry!
"This humble general...this humble general is willing to surrender."
Jiang Qi hurriedly begged for mercy, but Cao Cao was not interested in him.
After handing it over to Dian Wei, a shout from Jiang Qi soon rang out outside Wuchao.
Then, it came to an abrupt end!
The crimson flames of Wuchao also signify that Ju Shou's life is about to come to an end.
