Editing of the ten loyal ministers and the emperors standing up

Chapter 177 Huang Gai surrenders! Burning camp!

The Battle of Chibi was filled with flames and smoke, and was thrilling.

There was no Jiang Qian stealing books, and no Huang Zhong's cruel tricks!

Jiang Qian crossed the river only once. As for the second time he introduced Pang Tong, it was a fictional novel, and theft of books and counterintuitive schemes did not exist.

Zhou Yu and Jiang Qian were open and aboveboard conversations between gentlemen, and there were not as many conspiracies and intrigues as in the novel.

Cai Mao was not killed by counterintuitive plots, and Jiang Gan was not a clown-like character.

The adaptation of the novel's plot to increase dramatic conflict is very necessary and wonderful.

It's just that the Zhou Yu in the official history is less scheming and more magnanimous, and is said to be a good talker because of his extraordinary ability.

It's just that Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin disdain to use conspiracy and tricks. He is not a rat from the east of the Yangtze River who crosses the river in white!

And Jiang Qian in official history is not that miserable. Jiang Qian, also known as Ziyi, according to "Jiang Biao Biography" cited in Pei Songzhi's annotation, "Qian has good appearance and is known for his talent and argumentation. He is the only one in the Jiang and Huai Rivers. He can't be compared with him."

In other words, Jiang Qian was a well-known celebrity with a dignified appearance and quick thinking, and had a high status in the Jianghuai area.

Jiang Gan was neither Zhou Yu's classmate nor his hometown, but a fellow Jianghuai person, so Cao Cao sent Jiang Gan to lobby.

……

Above the sky!

The two armies are currently facing each other across the Yangtze River.

After Cao Cao learned about the alliance between Sun and Liu, he did not give up his plan for the southern expedition. Instead, he became more confident that he could eliminate the two enemies in one fell swoop.

He led an army of more than [-], known as [-], down the Yangtze River, preparing for a decisive battle with the Sun and Liu armies.

Since most of Cao Cao's navy were from the north and were not used to water warfare, and many suffered from seasickness, Cao Cao ordered the navy to connect the ships with iron chains to prevent them from shaking.

Cao Jun did not intend to take the initiative to attack. Instead, he arranged his warships closely and built a water fortress. It seemed that the posture was intended to be a tug-of-war.

At the same time, Zhou Yu, who was inferior in military strength, also waited for work, resulting in a complete stalemate in the battle line!

Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin murmured to themselves above the sky:

"Bo Fu, it is related to the survival of Jiangdong. If you are in the dark, please protect me Jiangdong!"

Huang Gai, a veteran of Soochow, spoke next to him and said,

"To inform the Grand Governor, we are currently outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. If the confrontation continues, it will be detrimental to our side.

And because Cao Cao's warships are connected from head to tail, they can be destroyed in one fell swoop with fire attacks. "

But how to get close to the enemy ship and set fire to it is the biggest problem. Huang Gai continued:

"If I pretend to be a traitor and deliver the secret surrender message, I can take the opportunity to set fire to the enemy ship when I get close to it."

A general next to him said:

"We are confronting Cao's army across the river. If the fire is too small, we will not be able to break through Cao's camp.

What's more, if there is no east wind to help in winter, we are afraid that the fire will pour back, which will harm our army! "

Zhou Yu smiled and said:

"It's time to risk your life and give it a try! It doesn't matter, it's just death!"

In the Battle of Chibi in official history, Zhuge Liang did not borrow the east wind, but the fire attack did need the east wind's help. The east wind is so important,

So much so that "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind" has become a well-known idiom and is widely used.

The eastern region has a monsoon climate, with northwest winds usually blowing in winter and southeast winds in summer.

But this is just a general statement. Depending on the terrain in certain areas, it is not impossible to have southeasterly winds in winter!

Zhou Yu relied on his knowledge and experience of terrain and climate to be familiar with the southeasterly wind that can occur in the Chibi area.

Therefore, the date for Huang Gai's false surrender must have been carefully considered.

However, it needs to be emphasized that many people only see that the southeast wind can be predicted, but ignore the more important point - courage.

Put yourself in his shoes and think about the situation at that time. Suppose that even if Zhou Yu knew that the southeast wind was likely to occur, was he really sure that the southeast wind would definitely occur?

Even today's weather forecasts are often inaccurate, not to mention the observations of the ancients.

The southeast wind was important in the Battle of Chibi, but the most important factor in the war was the human factor, that is, the command of the general.

If it were not Zhou Yu but Cheng Pu or someone else, the war would most likely have gone in a different direction.

No one can be [-]% sure about the southeast wind, so Zhou Yu is also making a huge gamble.

Cao Cao did not take Soochow seriously at all. He hurriedly marched eastward without waiting for the northern soldiers to be trained. He was inexperienced in water warfare and used Jingzhou soldiers as the main force, which led to the failure of the first battle and a low morale.

The Northern Army gathered in Wulin, and another plague broke out, and their combat effectiveness was further reduced.

Cao Cao relied on the strength of his numbers and connected the warships together regardless of the danger of fire. He no longer had the mentality of winning with a small number in Guandu. Cao Cao was also a human being and made mistakes.

Zhou Yu was the one who caught Cao Cao's mistakes and won the battle.

From the victory of the two armies in the first encounter at Chibi, it can be seen that Zhou Yu did not put all his hopes on the southeast wind.

In addition to the natural climate, he relied on his confidence in his command level and his confidence in the water warfare capabilities of Soochow soldiers.

Above the sky, a majestic voice came again, and then a figure in white clothes and armor appeared!

[The six armies march together to attack the Cao thieves! 】

Above the sky, heavy fog gradually began to rise!

Zhou Yu sat firmly on the central military platform and said loudly,

"The troops obey orders!"

His eyes were firm and powerful, and his aura was majestic enough to intimidate people.

"exist!"

Zhou Yu: Taishi Ci obeys the order!

Taishi Ci: Yes!

Zhou Yu,

"Quickly lead three thousand troops and horses, go straight to the border of Huangzhou, and cut off Cao Cao's troops in Hefei.

Using arson as a signal and just looking at the red flag, Wu Hou's troops arrived, and the two armies united to intercept Cao Cao's retreating army. "

Taishi Ci: "Yes!"

Zhou Yu: "Gan Ning!"

Gan Ning: "Here!"

Zhou Yu walked up to Gan Ning and asked:

"Where are Cai Zhong and Cai He now?"

Gan Ning: "Accompany Kan Ze to drink in the tent."

Zhou Yu: "Okay! Take Cai Zhong and surrender the general's [-] troops, raise Cao Cao's flag, walk along the south bank, and go straight to the ground of Wulin.

Go deep into Cao Jun's grain camp and raise fire as a signal.

Cai He is the only one left under the tent. I have other uses. "

Gan Ning: "Yes!"

Zhou Yu: "Lu Meng!"

Lu Meng: "Here!"

General Lu Meng stood up.

Zhou Yu ordered calmly and calmly:

"Lead three thousand soldiers and horses straight to the border of Wulin to meet Gan Ning and burn Cao Cao's camp."

Lu Meng: "Yes!"

Zhou Yu: "Ling Tong!"

Ling Tong: "Here!"

General Ling Tong also stood up, straightening his chest and looking serious!

This man is said to be the invincible iron man of Jiangdong!

Zhou Yu:

"Leading three thousand soldiers and horses, they went straight to the head of Yiling. When they saw the fire in Wulin, they raised troops to respond."

Ling Tong: "Yes!"

Zhou Yu: "Dong Xi!"

Dong Xi: "Here!"

Zhou Yu: "Lead three thousand soldiers and horses, march directly to Hanyang, rush from Hanchuan to Cao Cao's stronghold, and when they see the white flag, they will respond."

Dong Xi: "Yes!"

Zhou Yu: "Pan Zhang!"

Pan Zhang: "Here!"

General Pan Zhang stood up.

Zhou Yu: "Lead three thousand soldiers and horses, all flying white flags, and go to Hanyang to meet Dong Xi."

Pan Zhang: "Yes!"

After Zhou Yu issued the order, he distributed the tokens to the generals.

Afterwards, Zhou Yu walked up to Huang Gai.

Zhou Yu: "Old General Huang!"

Huang Gai: "Grand Governor!"

Zhou Yu: "The old general arranged a fire ship and sent a soldier to deliver a message to Cao Cao, agreeing to surrender tonight."

Huang Gai: "Yes!"

Zhou Yu: "Han Dang, Zhou Tai!"

Han and Zhou: "in"

Zhou Yu: "Jiang Qin, Chen Wu!"

Jiang and Chen: “Here!”

Zhou Yu:

"Each led three hundred warships, and each placed twenty fireships in front. When they saw the bows of the yellow-covered ships rising, they mobilized the fireships and rushed into Cao Ying's water stronghold."

Han Dang and others: "Yes!"

Zhou Yu said respectfully to General Cheng,

"Old general, follow me and take charge of the central army to defeat Cao's thieves!"

"Ok!"

Cheng Pu said calmly, expressing his agreement!

……

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng applauded and congratulated:

"What a great commander-in-chief of the armed forces, what a great Zhou Gongjin! How beautiful!"

Li Taibai raised his wine glass and chuckled,

"Three cups of Turanuo, the Five Mountains are insignificant. Here's a toast to the General!"

Sun Ce was crestfallen, with guilt written all over his face, and he didn't know what to say.

On the contrary, Zhou Yu comforted him and said,

"Bo Fu, don't blame yourself, this time it's me who can win the game!"

……

Zhou Yu slowly closed his eyes, seeming to be meditating in his mind!

But Tianmu said what was in his heart:

"Bo Fu, please give me a helping hand to defend Jiangdong and plan for the Central Plains!"

But what came from behind him were Sun Ce's shocking words:

[Father is above, Gong Jin is beside me, bless me Jiangdong, and the country will be rich and powerful]

Perhaps on the night when the fire burned Red Cliff, Sun Ce turned into a wisp of east wind, brushed Zhou Yu's face, and blew his hair.

At this moment, the bodies of Sun Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong, and Zhou Gongjin, the governor of Jiangdong, overlapped and merged into one, facing Cao Cao's army!

Twelve tiger ministers from Jiangdong are guarding the army, and the governor Zhou Yu is here!

He almost exhausted all his strength and shouted at the soldiers of Soochow:

"Chong!"

The sound of a sword being unsheathed came!

"Fei Shan moves forward, heading towards Red Cliff!"

Zhou Gongjin's sword pointed directly in the direction of Chibi. Following the command from the Governor, the soldiers of Soochow immediately took off the sails and set sail.

The army rushes to Chibi in great strength to fight to the death with Cao Jun!

The huge handsome flag is standing on the building ship!
