Chapter 165 Power Exchange
This amount of firewood obviously provided excellent burning conditions for the soldiers.
The soldier found a better-ventilated location, unwrapped his body, and took out the gunpowder pot.
If you want to set the Mianzhu Pass on fire before dawn, you have to let the fire spread here before the enemy finds out.
Therefore, the soldiers chose the location of the ignition in a ventilated location.
As a result, as soon as the flame from the powder pot spewed out, the flying sparks directly splashed onto the pile of firewood beside him.
Immediately afterwards, the flames rapidly expanded under the agitation of the strong wind.
In a few seconds, the pile of firewood turned into a fire dragon, and at the end of the fire dragon, the eaves where the firewood leaned tightly also started a raging fire.
At this time, the inside of Mianzhu Pass, where the fire broke out, became extremely commotion in an instant, shouting and screaming, and it became a crowd.
The soldiers saw that the big event had been accomplished, so they hurriedly took advantage of the chaos in the pass and took advantage of the opportunity to turn back and leave the pass.
At the same time, the outline of the monstrous fire in Mianzhu Pass can be seen even in the camp far away.
"My lord, this fire attack is a plan, so it can be regarded as a success!"
Zhuge Liang said with a smile on his face, and the feather fan in his hand was flapping endlessly in a timely manner.
Du Huo subconsciously glanced at Zhuge Liang, just nodded, but did not respond.
The soldiers in the camp had already begun to deploy urgently. When there was a fire at Mianzhu Pass, the fighter plane had arrived. This was an order issued by Du Huo earlier.
But now, it's really implemented!
After the deployment of the army, all the ministries were ready to leave the camp and dispatch.
It's just that Du Huo hasn't given the order for a long time, so they can only wait in place.
"My lord, the soldiers have assembled, when shall we act?"
Wei Yan, who was in charge of personnel deployment, walked slowly to Du Huo, wearing a battle armor and carrying a sword in his hand, and asked in a low voice.
"Wait a little longer, after that person comes back, let's set off!"
"That person?"
Hearing this, Wei Yan glanced at Zhuge Liang subconsciously. He seemed to want to ask Zhuge Liang for an answer, but when the two of them looked at each other, Zhuge Liang just shook his head.
But at this time, the person Du Huo was referring to was naturally the soldier who set fire.
Because at this time, only Du Huo knew about it.So it's normal for Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan not to understand the reason.
Wei Yan never got the answer from Zhuge Liang. Although he wanted to ask in his heart, he saw that Du Huo had no intention of answering.
So, he temporarily suppressed this question.
After staying here for a few minutes, Wei Yan, who felt bored, said goodbye and left.
About 10 minutes passed, and in the vaguely bright night, the outline of a person suddenly appeared.
This person was of medium stature, and his whole body was pitch black, almost blending into the night.
After a while, the guy covered in dust and scorched earth stumbled to Du Huo, and said out of breath, "Return...Report to my lord, this subordinate...has fulfilled your order. At this time...in Mianzhu Pass, the fire Protruding, smoke covered the sky, our fighter plane has arrived!"
Looking at the guy in front of him, who was out of breath after a rough journey, the corners of Du Huo's mouth rose slightly.
If it had been before, he would never have believed that an ordinary soldier could do such an important thing for him.
But now, the real reality made him fully admit this.
"Okay, well done!" Du Huo casually praised the soldier.
Turning to Zhuge Liang beside him, he said: "Kong Ming, although this man is a soldier now, his ability has reached the level of a general. I decided to make him a deputy general and be responsible for the deployment of equipment in our army." In your opinion, is my decision feasible?"
Hearing Du Huo's words for the first time, Zhuge Liang's eyes on the soldiers suddenly changed.
He thought he had the ability to recognize people, but now he couldn't see any bright spots in this soldier.
However, it was such a seemingly mediocre person who was suddenly reused by Du Huo, so this was unavoidable, and Zhuge Liang would be suspicious.
"My lord, I don't have any objections to you appointing him as the deputy general. After all, since he was able to start a big fire in that Mianzhu pass, I think this person does have some outstanding qualities, but the position of equipment deployment...
That has always been in charge of Wenchang, and he is still serious about what he does, if he is replaced for no reason, I am afraid it will be unreasonable..."
Zhuge Liang's answer seemed a little hesitant, and the position of lieutenant general is not uncommon.Moreover, he doesn't have much authority, so Zhuge Liang doesn't care about it.
It's just the deployment of this equipment, which is very different from the lieutenant general.
If this person cannot be trusted, it may directly affect the fate of the entire army.
Since Zhuge Liang is a military adviser, he has the responsibility to worry about the survival of the entire army.Therefore, it is quite normal for him to have such worries.
Du Huo nodded: "I understand what you mean, indeed I also admit that Chief Wen's ability in this area is indeed outstanding. However, I have already made a promise before, and now he has fulfilled my request .So, it's time for me to fulfill my promise!
So, I hope you can help me and explain this matter to Wenchang for me.In addition, you can also help me make arrangements for Wenchang to take over those surrendered soldiers! "
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's eyes widened as if he had heard something terrible.
"My lord, don't you want to hand over all the surrendered troops to Wei Yan?"
In this sentence, Zhuge Liang directly said Wei Yan's name, from which it can also be seen how serious and solemn he asked this question!
Du Huo nodded solemnly and said: "That's right! This is the only way I can think of to compensate the editor!"
"But……"
"Nothing but, I have already considered this matter! Although Wen Chang is a famous general, it is a thing of the past after all!
Along the way, I have seen everything he did!It is undeniable that he is a good general, and he is also a good general who can be used!
Therefore, I am very relieved to entrust the descending troops to his hands! "
Zhuge Liang originally had some worries in his heart, but after Du Huo let him confess his thoughts, the worries in his heart gradually disappeared after Du Huo finished his sentence.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhuge Liang responded respectfully and saluted: "Since the lord has made sure of it, I will explain this matter in detail with the chief immediately!"
