Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 743 Cannon in red, cross the river in white!
cheer.

Everyone in Fancheng was cheering.

Countless people gathered around Lu Xun, all of them had fearful smiles on their faces, and the excitement in their hearts was beyond words.

Lu Xun... this young commander of the navy, today... he really managed to turn the tide.

It was also the first time that the soldiers realized his strategy.

Can…

In fact, the crisis has not been resolved. Everyone knows that the surprise attack last night was just a temptation by Guan Yu. Guan Yu lost a few thousand soldiers at most, and he couldn't hurt his bones... How will we fight after this battle, and what will happen next?All eyes subconsciously looked at Lu Xun.

As if aware of everyone's doubts, Lu Xun said with emotion: "Although the mountain torrents are terrible and come fiercely, they retreat quickly. The reason why Guan Yu didn't choose to bypass Jing and Xiang and attack Xuchang and Luoyang directly was because he was afraid that we would kill him. He has just entered here last night, and he rushed to make a surprise attack. This shows that he is short of food and grass. He often uses ladders instead of Jinglan and other siege equipment to attack the city, which shows that he is short of weapons... From this point of view, Guan Yu is no more It's just a paper tiger, it looks ferocious, but in fact it will break if you poke it, what else is there to be afraid of?"

Lu Xun's words were like a pinnacle of tranquility.

Who would have thought...after being surrounded by Guan Yu's army, the commander of Fancheng, Lu Xun, would still be so composed. Of course...because of yesterday's great victory, his words undoubtedly gave more people more confidence.

At this moment... on the tower, someone led a white horse up the tower.

When the horse came to Lu Xun's side, Lu Xun raised the knife and fell... The white horse's throat was cut off!

Lu Xun ordered: "Sink this white horse into the moat!"

"Well..."

Everyone complied.

With the sound of "plop", the white horse fell into the river... and quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

The soldiers and civilians in ancient times were very superstitious and naive. They used the white horse as a medium to express their thoughts to the gods, just like drinking the blood of the white horse. At the bottom, it means that you can get God's blessing!
really…

Lu Xun's operation was ideally reflected.

--"it is good…"

——"God bless!"

——"In this battle, we will definitely defeat Guan Yu!"

For a while... the morale of the entire Fancheng was high.

On the contrary, it was Lu Xun, who put his hands on the city wall, squinted his eyes and looked at Guan Yu's barracks, and then looked behind... There are endless mountains and endless rivers...

Lu Xun knew that at the end of the river... the action had already begun.

...

...

Dozens of merchant ships are sailing on the Yangtze River, upstream...

The river wind was blowing, and the green hills on both sides of the bank were like Daisy. Lu Meng stood at the bow of the boat in a white robe and looked like a merchant. He could already see the continuous beacon tower built by Guan Yu.

"In ancient times, King You of Zhou laughed at the beacon fire for Bomei to play with the feudal lords, and now Guan Yunchang is reviving the beacon fire, ha ha... It seems that, as His Majesty said, this Guan Yunchang's Spring and Autumn Period has not been read less!"

While talking, Lu Meng recalled...he once followed Zhou Yu into the palace to meet His Majesty.

The three chatted for a long time, but... Lu Meng was always unable to get in the way. He felt that he was a white-necked person in front of His Majesty Cao Yu and Governor Zhou Yu... didn't understand anything.

It was also from this day that he began to study military books hard... When he met Cao Yu for the second time, Lu Meng had already dealt with the situation in Jingzhou, the war in Yiling, and... the general situation raised by Cao Yu. Can talk freely.

Of course...this includes today's situation.

It can be said that whether it is Cao Yu, or Zhou Yu, or him, Lu Meng, has already deduced it countless times, and they are as used to it as eating and sleeping.

Of course... Lu Meng was most impressed by His Majesty Cao Yu's evaluation of Guan Yu.

——"Guan Yu has been reading "Chunqiu Zuozhuan" since he was a child, because he stayed up late...his eyes are not very good. Cultural people, look down on other educated people, always think that their cultural level is higher than others, and when they hear that some famous people appear, they squint their eyes and look at them coldly, with a look of indifference , such a person... is naturally able to get along with each other, and if the relationship is in place, he will really go to work. But the leader has flaws, and he looks down on his own people, let alone the enemy. On the battlefield, underestimating the enemy is a taboo!"

Cao Yu's words resurfaced in Lu Meng's mind again.

He looked into the distance...it was like a beacon tower among the Daiqing mountains.

"Hehe..." Lu Meng smiled, and he pointed to the beacon tower... "It is because of this that King Zhou You lost the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. It seems that Guan Yunchang's "Spring and Autumn" is full of illness!"

Speaking of here…

Lu Meng raised his head, approaching... His "merchant fleet" was getting closer to the beacon tower.

...

...

Daba Mountains, Dingjun Mountain…

There are twelve beautiful peaks rising here, from Shishanzi to Yuanshanzi, known as the "Twelve Linked Peaks".

To the east is the isolated peak of Dangkou Temple, which stretches for more than ten kilometers from west to east, like a dragon playing with a pearl, so it has the reputation of "one pearl in twelve mountains".

There is a natural pot-bottom-shaped depression in the south of the mountain, which is mentioned in ancient books and documents, "Yangtian depression" that can "garrison thousands of soldiers". "Wuhouping, the battlefield where Huang Zhong fought against Xiahouyuan is here!

...At this moment, Xia Houyuan of the Wei Army led the army to garrison here.

Because it is autumn, the hillside is full of unknown wild flowers of various colors. The yellow wild chrysanthemums are the most dazzling. As if the entire hillside was sprinkled with gold, Dingjun Mountain in autumn is dressed in a different costume.

If it is in normal times, you can still hear the scattered red leaves in the mountains and forests tugging in the wind, the faint voices of people in the mountains and forests, the beautiful singing of a girl who does not know from time to time, and the bold and unrestrained shouts on the top of the mountain.

only…

Today's Dingjun Mountain is only left with a stern and murderous spirit.

The Wei army was stationed in "Yangtianwa", while the Shu army was stationed in "Yuanshanzi", a relatively low mountain in the outermost periphery of Dingjun Mountain...

Regardless of the low-lying terrain of "Yangtianwa" where the Wei army was stationed, the mountain roads here are extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The "Yuanshanzi" where the Shu army was stationed overlooked the camp of the Wei army...Of course, the advantage of being stationed here is...Even if the Wei army wanted to attack, they could only feign an attack...

It can be said that because of where the two sides are stationed, no one dares to launch a general offensive...but it can be consumed. The Wei army has a battlefield in Hanzhong to store grain, and there is an extremely convenient grain road. The grain of the Shu army...has to go through the Shu road. It's hard!

"Wow ya ya ya..."

At this moment, Zhang Fei called out in front of Wei Jun's formation again. "Grandma, are you all born from bird eggs? Fearing the enemy like a tiger, why are you fighting? Go back to the Central Plains and sleep with your mother-in-law!"

"Grandpa has been yelling here for three days, and you don't dare to let go of a fart? Is this Dawei? Hahaha... It's ridiculous, I think how beautiful Cao Cao was back then, but now you have no eggs at all!"

"Brothers, scold me, scold this group of shrinking turtles!"

Zhang Fei's roar echoed in the valley, and the entire Dingjun Mountain was filled with his shouts...

"Xiahou Miaocai fears the enemy like a tiger, and shrinks her head like a tortoise. Is the mother-in-law sleeping with your elder brother?"

"Xiahou Miaocai fears the enemy like a tiger, how many of your seven sons are your own, and how many are your eldest brother's?"

"Brothers and wives can't be bullied, it's okay to ride once in a while! Hahaha..."

……

The scolding is unbearable!
Of course, these are all taught by Fazheng. They are called formations...you have to make a lot of noise, although your eldest brother Cao Cao of Xia Houyuan has that special hobby?

He likes other people's daughter-in-law, so what about his brother's daughter-in-law?

Undoubtedly, these yellings had their due effect.

"I am angry, I am angry!"

Cao Ying, the big tent of the Chinese army...

With a "bang", Xia Houyuan slammed his fist on the table, and he frowned... "Where is my son?"

"Father, the child is here!"

"Father, the child is here!"

"Father, the child is here!"

"Father, the child is here!"

Xiahouyuan's eldest son Xiahouheng, second son Xiahouba, third son Xiahoucheng, and fourth son Xiahouwei all came to invite Ying.

Among them, Xia Houba was the most courageous, "Father commander, my son is willing to issue a military order and lead our troops to meet the enemy. If Zhang Fei cannot be defeated, my son is willing to be punished by military law!"

Even Xiahouyuan was not sure that he was Zhang Fei's opponent, but Xiahouba was full of courage...but he had the posture of "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers"...

"Okay!" Xia Houyuan stood up suddenly, planning to order...

But at this time.

"You can't go!" Xun You stepped into the big tent, and uttered these three words loudly amidst the loud shouts and curses of the enemies.

"Gongda?" Xia Houyuan was a little puzzled, "The black-faced ghost almost rode on my forehead to shit and pee! What? You let me bear it?"

Who is Xiahouyuan? That is the patriarch of the current dynasty... After Cao Cao returned to hermitage, he was listed as the patriarch of the Cao and Xiahou clans along with Xiahou Dun.

He doesn't want to lose face himself, but...his identity doesn't allow him to be a coward and let the enemy's foul language spread into the tents of the three armies.

not to mention…

These scolding voices are really not pleasant to listen to. The eldest brother is a good wife, but he will never understand a good brother's wife. Xia Houyuan firmly believes in this point.

"At least not today!" Xun You said firmly...

"Why?" Xia Houyuan asked quickly.

Xun You looked around...

Xia Houyuan understood, and waved his hands to signal his sons and a group of lieutenants to retreat. He even went to close the curtain himself, and then asked Xun You, "Now, can Gongda speak?"

"Director Liu from the Ministry of Industry has just arrived, and the equipment delivered by Director Zhuge will arrive soon!"

"Equipment?" Xia Houyuan didn't take it seriously, "Could it be the Zhuge Liannu, right? Our army already has enough of these! No need to fill them up!"

"No..." Xun You waved his hand, "This time it's not Zhuge Liannu!"

"What is that?" Xia Houyuan was also curious.

Xun You sighed, "Xun has never seen it before, but...it is a drawing drawn by His Majesty. After more than 70 processes, it was originally planned to be completed in one year, but it took three full years to successfully test it, and it took five years to complete it." With battlefield conditions..."

"What is it? You're talking so mysterious?" Xia Houyuan's curiosity was aroused.

"Your Majesty named it—Red Clothes Cannon!"

Xia Houyuan was taken aback by Xun You's words. He squinted his eyes... Let alone "cannon" in this era, even he has no concept of anger...

However, since it was drawn by Cao Yu, and the workshop is so swearing...then...

"Hehe." Xia Houyuan smiled, "Gongda, you have to give me a letter, how many days?"

——"Three days are enough!"

...

...

In the beacon tower in the south of Jiangling City, the guarding Guan Jiajun saw the continuous ships from a distance.

As soon as the time came, the defenders all became vigilant.

"Get ready for the fire!"

The leader quickly ordered.

Soon, all the Guan family troops in the beacon tower started to move, some went to light the fire, and some threw torches into the beacon tower at any time.

According to the original arrangement...

Once the beacon tower catches fire, it proves that someone has invaded Jiangling, and the gates of Jiangling City will be closed. In addition... Guan Yu will also get the news as soon as possible and lead his army back to help.

only…

As the ship approached, men dressed as businessmen in white came into the eyes of Guan Jiajun on the beacon tower.

Lu Meng had already put on a human skin mask, which made him look calmer, with the characteristic smile of a businessman showing everywhere on his cheeks, even though it was such an expression.

However, Lu Meng's mood was raised in his throat, and he ordered in a low voice: "Pass down my military order, so that the officers and men of all ships must not act rashly, and whoever exposes the military will be executed immediately!"

"Yes!"

The entourage stepped into the stern and told the truth to the soldiers hiding in the warehouse.

Seeing that the ship was approaching the Beacon Tower, more than a dozen merchant ships unloaded their sails and made the appearance of stopping the ship...

Guan Jiajun on the beacon tower shouted: "No boats are allowed to stop here!"

"Master!" Lu Meng shouted: "We are a merchant ship, and we often use this waterway. Now the wind and waves are too strong, so we should avoid it now."

"No, the Beacon Tower is an important place, and no ships are allowed to dock!"

"Listed as a military master, it's convenient!"

As he spoke, Lu Meng took a box from the servant beside him, and quickly unfolded it...

Reflecting the sunset light, the box glistened... It was gold, lots and lots of gold!

"Mr. Jun, please do me a favor. We won't stay any longer...Leave out of the wind and waves!"

As the saying goes, money is cold, but it is hot in your pocket...

Guan Jiajun has been suffering all these years, where has he seen so much gold... If everyone shares a share, it will be enough to buy a few juicy Bashu wives when they go back!
All the soldiers on the beacon tower were a little moved, but the leader was still extra cautious, "What is on board?"

"It's pottery and brocade silk, Lord Jun..." Lu Meng shouted, while someone took out a lot from the warehouse.

At this time, the Guan family army on the shore had already received the pottery and brocade from the boat... all of them looked straight.

Although the Shu brocade is good, but...their ordinary soldiers, who can wear such an expensive Shu brocade, now that this material that is no less than the Shu brocade is in front of them, everyone fantasizes about being able to wear one.

The leader of the Guan family army saw what the brethren were thinking, and murmured in his heart that this was a hard job... It would be good to get oil and water.

Simply... wave your hand. "Okay, let's go when the wind and waves stop, don't stay!"

"Yes, Lord Jun!" Lu Meng shouted, but when he blurted out this sentence, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He walked ashore, and in front of those Guan family soldiers, he ordered his brothers, "Hurry up, hurry up...distribute some pottery and brocade silks to the military masters, hurry up... hurry up!"

When he said the last few words, he turned his head and looked at the ships that had all docked on the shore.

At this moment, murderous intent was revealed in his eyes!
