Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 652 Undercurrent surging
Zhang Wu was not sure whether a true commander valued courage or wisdom.

Those who know how to use their brains in fighting, like the military genius Han Xin, like Cao Cao, the King of Wei, like the white-robed ghost general Chen Qingzhi, and like the handsome Zhou Yu from Jiangdong, are all undefeated.

Since ancient times, there seems to be a saying that a general's strategy is more important than his courage.

Since Zhang Wu took command, people's cognition has been refreshed.

Only Zhang Wu knew the answer clearly.

A true commander-in-chief of the three armed forces may not have unparalleled courage, but also may not have unpredictable strategies.

It's just in the word "break".

A good general is one who sits in charge of the three armies, appoints people based on their merits, is good at accepting advice from subordinates, and can make the most correct decision at the most critical moment.

As a witness of history, Zhang Wu did not bring any profound words to Huang Zhong.

He only asked Cao Zhi to convey three things:

Be careful of Zhou Yu's use of fire.

Be careful of Zhou Yu's use of fire.

Still be careful about Zhou Yu's use of fire.

A good strategist is good at using water and fire. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms period were both famous for their fire attacks.

Zhang Wu was just standing on the shoulders of history and giving Huang Zhong the most intuitive decision. As for how Huang Zhong should actually implement it, it was Huang Zhong's own business and had nothing to do with him as the commander.

After the thought came to light, the degree of integration of Chen Tong's fifth martial soul was further improved.

2. The ultimate level of martial arts: When one reaches the extreme level of martial arts, no one can compete among generals. Fighting is not limited to generals, soldiers, birds, and beasts of prey. Force value +18. Born out of pride, every time the enemy unites three times, the force is temporarily +4, up to +12.

3. General's Peak: The cavalry's combat skills are well understood. When uniting the cavalry in battle, the resourcefulness is temporarily +6, and the commander is temporarily +8. The bloodthirsty mania leads his army to kill 3 enemies, and the commander will gain a temporary +9, up to a maximum of +.

2. The toughness of generals:? ? ? (Completely integrated into the ultimate combat skill)

System points: 770
Faith points: 41000
The politics of force has not changed, but the wisdom and strategy of commanders have each increased a little.

As a general, one must constantly comprehend and move forward. The road ahead is still long and cannot be expected today.

Zhang Wu's only wish was to completely integrate his fifth martial spirit after the Battle of Red Cliff.

If he were given a choice, he would rather be the general who led his troops into battle and shed the blood of the enemy, rather than the marshal who planned and directed the three armies.

At midnight, the wind became stronger.

Because the war between the two sides of Chibi had not yet officially started and the weather was bad, most soldiers finished their training early and returned to the camp to rest.

Cao Xiu also insisted on patrolling the camp with a team of armored soldiers.

It’s not that Cao Xiu had any ability to predict the future, but he had been under Zhang Wu for so long that some habits had become ingrained in his bones.

When they reached the riverside, they discovered that not only had he not slept, but the naval forces of the Youlong Battalion were still staying at the ferry.

Old Huang Zhong sat quietly on the shore, resting his mind while leaning on his nine-foot-long sword. Most of the soldiers fell asleep directly on the deck.

"General Zuo is still awake."

Huang Zhong raised his eyes and said, "It's Wen Lie. Why haven't you gone to rest yet?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I came out to inspect." Huang Zhong nodded: "It's good that you can't sleep, sit with me for a while, maybe I'll treat you to a big show later."

Cao Xiu didn't understand what was going on, and seeing that Huang Zhong didn't want to talk about it more, he didn't ask any further questions.

He dismounted and sat on a huge rock on the shore to rest.

"How is Fengxian these days? I haven't seen him personally setting up camp for a long time. He must be feeling lonely."

Cao Xiu smiled bitterly: "The former general is training his troops in the camp today and is always ready for battle."

"No fun, no fun! He is clearly just a deputy general. How can he have any say in such an important matter as military training? Wen Lie, tell me directly, is that guy relying on his past merits to pressure you? Tell me, I will make the decision for you."

They all say old naughty boy, old naughty boy.

This guy, the older he gets, the more playful he becomes.

Huang Zhong said this not to stand up for Cao Xiu, but clearly just to make fun of his old friend.

Cao Xiu was somewhat speechless: "Left General, please stop instigating me. If the Front General heard this, he would have to fight you for three hundred rounds."

"Come if you want. How can I be afraid of him?"

Ding ding dong! ~
Ding ding dong! ~
Suddenly, along the river, a bell rang. Huang Zhong stood up immediately, brushed off the dust on his body, and laughed: "The governor really has foresight. The boy from Jiangdong really uses fire!"

"what?"

"Just sit back and watch. You can go back and tell Fengxian that Huang Zhong will definitely take the credit for the first battle of Red Cliff!"

Say it,
Huang Zhong stopped talking nonsense, holding his broadsword and bow, and quickly boarded the main ship of the Youlong Navy.

After a low whimper, thousands of large ships quietly sailed out of the Chibi Ferry under the cover of night.

If you are a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?
Since Zhang Wu told him to be careful of Zhou Yu's fire attack, Huang Zhong's response was even simpler and more brutal: fighting fire with fire.

Using fire requires taking advantage of the weather.
Fire borrows the force of wind.

Normally, there is no wind on the river. Even if there is wind blowing, you can just get water from the spot and put it out in three or five strokes. There is no threat at all.

This is also the reason why Huang Zhong is guarding the ferry only today.

While guarding against the use of fire in Jiangdong, he also prepared some gifts for Zhou Yu.

On the other side's main ship,

When Sun Ce heard the sound of bells on the river, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

In order to conceal his whereabouts, he ordered his men to move forward in the dark without any fire.

This has also led to the current dilemma.

He wanted to order people to investigate, but there was no torch and only the moonlight. How far could people see with their eyesight?
"Youping, use flag signals to tell all units to prepare for battle."

Zhou Tai clasped his fists and walked out. Soon, two flags were waving on the main ship.

Also because of the obstruction of vision, the speed of transmission is quite limited. The nearest ships can only barely see it clearly and then repeat the main ship's flag order to the more distant ships.

"Old Huang Zhong, you wouldn't dare to fight me on the river, would you?"

Sun Ce shook his head, put his sword down, and looked into the distance.

The Jiangdong navy is the best in the world. Now he is well prepared, and with Zhou Yu's advice behind the scenes, he has already made full preparations to deal with any emergency.

It would be best if Huang Zhong didn't come. If he really dares to come, I guarantee that he will never come back.

In the first naval battle between Cao and Sun, Huang Zhong did not want to lose, and Sun Ce did not want to lose even more.

If he were to be defeated by Cao Wei on the river, where he was best at, then Jiangdong would truly have no hope.
