Chapter 463

"Military division, in fact, if I don't give money, you will find an excuse to stay, right?"

Cai Zhong and Cai He passed on the secret letter of Kan Ze and Gan Ning to Cao Cao.Cao Cao still didn't fully believe that this was true, so Jiang Qian offered to go to Zhou Yu's camp to find out the truth, in order to make up for the fact that he went to Soochow last time and failed to make an inch of merit, and Cao Cao agreed.

Zhou Yu spent day and night in Soochow raising fire to attack Cao Cao's great plan, and suddenly thought: If a boat on the river catches fire, the rest of the boats will flee in all directions, and the power of the fire attack will drop sharply.Lu Su asked the famous scholar Pang Tong for advice, and Pang Tong was willing to go to Cao Ying to offer a series of tricks, otherwise the fire attack would be useless.At this moment, Jiang Gan came to Soochow again. Zhou Yu was overjoyed and shouted: "My success lies in this person!"

Zhou Yu angrily accused Jiang Gan of stealing books, and took advantage of this to send him to Xishan Nunnery to rest, and secretly arranged for him to meet Pang Tong, a famous scholar.Jiang Gan saw that it was difficult to make meritorious deeds during this trip, so if he recommended Pang Tong to Cao Cao and assisted the prime minister to make meritorious deeds, it would be considered a great contribution to him.The two had already discussed and decided, but they came to Cao Ying with their own minds.Cao Cao was overjoyed to see Pang Tong come. He personally inspected the various villages in the army with Pang Tong.

Just as Pang Tong walked down the river embankment happily and was about to board the boat, he was suddenly grabbed by someone and told Pang Tong's true meaning.Pang Tong froze there immediately.

Pang Tong, who had seen through his scheming, looked back and found that it was Xu Shu, an old friend who had entered Cao Ying without saying a word, and he was relieved just now.Xu Shu asked him for advice on how to escape, and Pang Tong taught him, and the two said goodbye.On the misty river, Pang Tong drove a flat boat and went away in the twilight.

Cao Cao locked the warships in one place according to Pang Tong's serial plan, and lined up majestically side by side on the river, the momentum was very spectacular.Cao Cao and a group of officials came to inspect, and all the officials said in unison: "The prime minister is going south, and the destruction of Wu is just around the corner!" Cao Cao couldn't help but order the world's number one musician, Shi Xu, to recast Zhong Lu and restore ancient music. The buildings and boats set up wine and music, and dance and dance to help the army.Shi Xu took the order and made it with exquisite workmanship. If there was a slight flaw, he smashed it with a hammer and recast it.

On the night of the [-]th day, when the weather was calm and the sea was as bright as day, Cao Cao, all the generals and all the officials and staff boarded the building boat to the sound of solemn and profound ancient music.Cao Cao, dressed in a red robe, is full of ambition, expresses his pride directly, composes poems horizontally, and composes songs to wine.After the poem was over, Cao Cao was drunk and complacent, and asked Shi Xu with a smile, hoping to get his appreciation, but Shi Xu was simple in nature, and while praising the prime minister's beautiful poems, he also bluntly pointed out the ominous words in the poems.This offended Cao Cao, who yelled loudly, raised a spear, and stabbed Shi Xu's chest.A poor generation of musicians, because of their sincerity but ignorance of current affairs, lay quietly under the knife of the master who served them with all their heart.All the ministers were terrified, Cao Cao also yelled, and threw himself on the deck. After waking up, he said that he was injured by accident due to drunkenness.All Shi Xu got was a generous burial and the red robe worn by the Prime Minister.

Mao Jie and Yu Jin, the new commanders of the navy, invited the prime minister to review the troops.Cao Cao was very pleased to see the five chains of large boats on the river rehearsing various formations. The soldiers on the chain iron boats could come and go freely. Complacent and arrogant.Cheng Yu, a counselor, reminded the prime minister to beware of fire attack, Cao Cao laughed and ordered the fire to be lit.The north wind was very urgent, and the ignited flames actually burned towards Cheng Yu's chest.Cao Cao said that in the middle of winter, there are only west and north winds, and there will be no east or south winds, so there is no need to worry. All the generals praised the prime minister for his wisdom.

When the navy of the Eastern Wu came to fight, Cao Cao first went to the battle with small boats to test the military situation, and then attacked with a series of large boats, and returned victorious.This added to Cao Cao's confidence and arrogance to win this time.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su came to the viewing platform and looked far away. The wind rose from the river and the flags were flying. When the two were proud, suddenly the strong wind blew the corner of the flag and hit Zhou Yu in the face. Shocked and stunned, he suddenly yelled and fell to the ground, spitting out blood and passing out.

Lu Su and other generals were astonished.

In November, Sun and Liu joined forces to defend against Cao's soldiers. Zhou Yu planned to attack with fire, but it was midwinter and there was no southeast wind. Zhou Yu was so worried that he vomited blood and fell to the ground.When Lu Su visited Kongming at night, Zhuge Liang said that he could cure Gongjin's illness.

Kong Ming came to Zhou Yu's big tent, and only wrote a sixteen-character secret recipe, and Zhou Yu jumped up.Kong Ming asked Zhou Yu to build a "Seven Star Altar", and he could borrow Zhou Lang for three days and three nights.Zhou Yu was very excited.

Lu Su has firmly believed in Kong Ming's borrowing of the wind this time, and everything is done according to Kong Ming's orders. Zhuge Liang looked at the loyal Lu Su with a feeling of parting.Just as Lu Su was about to ask again, Kong Ming turned around resolutely, and climbed up the mountain to worship the wind.

Zhou Yu dispatched troops and generals, and everything was arranged, just waiting for the southeast wind to blow.One day passed and there was no wind, and it was almost dusk, and Zhou Lang's heart began to waver.Suddenly the southeast wind blew up the tent, and all the battle flags of the Wu army roared, and they all floated back to the northwest. Zhou Yu was shocked, and at the same time ordered to attack Cao. When he saw Kong Ming, he immediately beheaded him.Lu Su was shocked but couldn't stop it.

Ding and Xu chased after them all the way, and saw Kong Ming in a small boat on the river. Standing beside him was Zhao Zilong holding a bow and arrow.With full sail, the boat sailed with the wind.The two reported to Zhou Lang, and Zhou Yu had no choice but to march to Jiangbei according to the original arrangement.

After Zhuge Liang returned to Xiakou, he immediately dispatched troops and generals to cooperate with Zhou Yu, and together they planned to win the Chibi War in one fell swoop.However, Zhuge Liang dispatched all kinds of soldiers and horses, but left Guan Yu alone in front of the tent.Guan Yu was not happy and blamed him.Finally, Zhuge Liang sent Guan Yu to Huarong Road to intercept and kill Cao Cao, and asked him to issue a military order.

When the southeast wind blew, Zhou Yu beheaded the surrendered general Cai He before sending troops to sacrifice the flag with blood.Huang Gai led the fireboat to take the wind and went straight to Cao Jun's water village.

Cao Cao heard from the battleship tower that a cluster of sails from the south of the Yangtze River was faintly approaching.Cao cao said with a smile, "if you don't break your promise, God will help me!" Cheng Yu said, "it's fraudulent to come to the boat. Don't call it into the stronghold." Cao cao said, "how do you know it?" Cheng Yu said, "a letter from Huang Gai Tell the grain escort ship to come down. If it is a grain ship, the ship must be stable and have a deep draft. Looking at the incoming ship today, it is light and buoyant, and the southeast wind is very strong tonight. If it is false surrender and attacks with fire, how can we stop it?" Cao Cao After hearing this, he realized that he hurriedly ordered to stop the incoming ships from entering the stronghold.

It was too late, Huang Gai raised his crossbow and fired arrows, and ordered all the boats to set fire to the village.In an instant, twenty fire boats crashed into the water village. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire. The boats in Cao village were chained by iron chains, and there was nowhere to escape.

Cao Cao fled for his life in the fire and went straight to Wulin.As he was walking, a general in front shouted, "Cao thief, don't go, Lu Meng is here", and urged the army to move forward. After Zhang Liao was cut off, he resisted Lu Meng.But seeing the flames in front of him again, an army swarmed out of the valley, "Cao Thief don't leave, Ling Tong is here", Cao Cao was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were cracked. At this time, Xu Huang and others rushed to fight with each other.

The battle of Chibi was like a frightened bird, a rat crossing the street, with nowhere to escape, and was surrounded by enemies.He also met Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and other generals, and finally met Guan Yu on Huarong Road.Cao Jun was terrified and dared not move forward.Cao Cao said: "Since we are in a desperate situation, we have to fight to the death." The generals said: "The horses are short and the men are trapped, how can we fight again?" Cheng Yu said to Cao: "Yun Chang is proud of the superior and does not insult the inferior; To bully the weak, to distinguish between grievances and grievances, and to be faithful. The Prime Minister has been kind to him in the past, but now he can personally beg for it, or he may be able to get out of this crisis."

So Cao Cao and Zhang Liao pleaded with Guan Yu.Guan Yu is a man of righteousness as much as a mountain. Seeing Cao Jun weeping in panic, thinking of Cao Cao's many kindnesses in the past and Zhang Liao's old love, he felt pity in his heart and let them all go.

Guan Ping hastily reminded his father that a military order had been issued before leaving. Guan Yu remained silent and reined in his horse back to the village.

In winter, Sun and Liu jointly fought against Cao, defeated Cao's army of 83, and won a brilliant victory in the Battle of Chibi.At Xiakou's grand celebration banquet, rewards were placed in front of all the generals, but Guan Yu was the only one who faced severe military punishment.When Guan Yushun led him to die, all the generals and Liu Bei stood up to plead for mercy, and Zhuge Liang agreed.

Cao Cao, who fled to Nanjun, was shocked for the first time, learned from the pain, wept aloud, and shouted at Guo Jia, saying: "If Fengxiao is here, I will suffer such a disastrous defeat!" At last, he left a secret plan to Cao Ren, the guard of Nanjun. He led the army back to Xudu temporarily.

Taking advantage of the victory in Chibi, Zhou Yu sent his troops to attack Nanjun.At the same time, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also stationed troops at Youjiangkou.Zhou Yu suspected that Kong Ming had the intention of taking Nanjun, so he asked about it with his soldiers.Zhuge Liang instructed Liu Bei to encourage Zhou Yu to accept the oath that Liu Bei could not take down Nanjun if he went to Soochow.The aloof Zhou Yu agreed in a fit of anger.

Zhou Yu sent Jiang Qin, Ding Feng, and Xu Sheng to attack Nanjun, but was defeated by Cao Ren; he sent Gan Ning to take Yiling, but was besieged in the city again.Zhou Yu was furious, and his pro-commander troops defeated Cao Jun, captured Yiling, and took advantage of the momentum to surround Nanjun City.The battle situation immediately reversed. Under the critical situation, Cao Ren and Cao Hong hurriedly unraveled the secret plan left by Cao Cao, and couldn't help but brow.

At dawn the next day, Zhou Yu led his troops to attack the city and won consecutive victories. After chasing Cao Ren who was fleeing, he swung his sword and urged his horses to rush towards the gate of Nanjun City.Suddenly there was a sound of clappers on the city tower, and thousands of arrows were fired from both sides. Zhou Yu was shot by Cao Chun's arrow on the left flank when Zhou Yu turned his horse sharply, and fell off the horse with a scream.

Cheng Puzhong's arrows were all on the skin, but Zhou Yu's arrow was extremely poisonous, and his face burned instantly, and he fell into a coma.Lu Su temporarily served as the governor of the capital, looking for doctors and medicines everywhere, and at the same time hung up the sign of exemption from battle at the gate of the camp.Finally found the antidote.

As soon as his health improved, Zhou Yu planned to defeat Cao Ren. Cao Ren escaped from danger and ran to Nanjun City under the guard of the fierce general Niu Jin.But no matter how much he shouted, the gate of Nanjun City was closed tightly and no one answered.The troops of the Wu army chased after them, but Cao Ren had no choice but to abandon the city and flee.

Zhou Yu led his troops to rush to the bottom of the city, but the city gate was still tightly closed, and there was no one on the city. When all the troops climbed up the parapet wall along the ladder, the ladder was suddenly pushed away by the long tree on the city, and fell backwards and fell down.The sergeant on the ladder screamed endlessly.There was a sound of banging, and the flags on the top of the city fluttered like a forest, and a general flashed out from the city tower, but it was Chang Shan Zhao Zilong.Zhou Yu was so shocked that he was speechless.Zhao Yun smiled and said: I have taken Nanjun by the order of my family's military adviser and in accordance with the previous agreement of the governor.Zhou Yu was furious and ordered to attack the city!Zhao Yun and all the soldiers will attack with full bows. Seeing this, Lu Su persuades Zhou Yu to seize Jingzhou and Xiangyang first.As soon as Zhou Yu's general in Lu Suyan's faction was finished, detectives came to report one after another: Jingzhou was taken by Zhang Fei; Xiangyang also fell into Liu Bei's hands.Zhou Yu's face turned pale when he heard the words, and asked the reason urgently. Tan Ma told how Zhuge Liang took the second city and passed by, Zhou Yu yelled: "I'm so mad!"He fell on his back and fell off the horse.

"Shao Zhen, look at the painstaking work I put into reporting the battle situation to you every day, please keep me."
