Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Chapter 94 The South Wind Has Arrived, Everything Is Ready

From the hour of Hai to the hour of Chou, the Han army launched seven or eight consecutive night attacks within these two hours, more than four hours, but the Yellow Turban Army simply ignored them!

Whenever the Han army attacked, the Yellow Turbans would fire arrows and drive them back.

This phenomenon resulted in that even if Xiang Yan remained cautious, his subordinates did not take it seriously. After all, the Han army was basically just thunder without rain.

The riot lasted until 3:30 pm when the Han army finally calmed down.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army was exhausted both physically and mentally, even though the Han Army replaced a new group of people after each attack. When there was finally no movement outside, the Yellow Turban Army, who had been up all night, fell into a deep sleep.

Only the people guarding the camp were still defending with their eyes drooping.

……

Within the village.

At this time, Wang Yu was standing in the yard, waiting for news from the front, while looking at the bright stars in the sky and walking back and forth in the yard.

I hope there will be a south wind tonight.

"My lord, the scouts report that the defense outside Xiang Yan's main camp has relaxed and is not as tight as it was at the beginning." At this time, Yuchi Gong walked in and said.

"Yeah!" Wang Yu responded. The first step of the plan was completed. The morale of the Yellow Turban Army was affected. Once a surprise attack was launched at night, the success rate would be greatly improved.

Now everything is ready, except for the south wind. However, if there is no help from the south wind tonight, even with the cooperation of Wei Xiaokuan and others, it will be difficult to achieve a good result.

At this time, Wang Yu couldn't help but look at Xun Yu. He really wanted to ask how long it would take for the south wind to arrive, but after seeing the latter's confident look, Wang Yu finally held back.

Perhaps noticing Wang Yu’s gaze, Xun Yu immediately gave him a reassurance!

"General, after these several attempts, no matter how cautious Xiang Yan is, his generals will be careless in their defense. Besides, the Yellow Turban Army has been stood up several times, and their energy has been worn out.

"So, today is our most favorable opportunity. When the south wind starts to blow, it will be time for our army to attack. General Li Cunxiao will lead the Flying Tiger Army to attack the Yellow Turban camp and set it on fire."

"Since there is an old friend of the general in Changsha City, and he is able to defend Changsha City until now with a weak force, he must be a great general who is well versed in strategy."

“As long as he sees the Yellow Turban camp on fire, he will know what to do. By then, the two sides will attack from both sides. Even if Xiang Yan has extraordinary abilities, it will be difficult to turn the tide. In this battle, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely be defeated!”

"Of course. I know how capable my brother is. But why hasn't the wind arrived yet?" Wang Yu asked awkwardly.

"It's almost there, General, please be patient!" Xun Yu said with a smile.

Wang Yu: “…”

If the person in front of him was not Xun Yu, the half-acquired military advisor, but another summoned military advisor, Wang Yu would definitely let him know why the flowers are so red!

However, he couldn't do that for Xun Yu, so he had to choose to continue waiting here.

"Brother, do you think what this kid said is true? If he says there is wind, does that mean there is wind?" Dian Wei was an impatient person. When he couldn't wait any longer, he immediately asked Ju Wuba next to him.

"Zi Man, calm down. The lord is not anxious, so why should you be anxious?" Ju Wuba rolled his eyes and said calmly. "The south wind...is coming." After an hour and a quarter, Xun Yu looked up at the starry sky and suddenly spoke.

"The wind is coming, the wind is really coming!" Yuchi Gong and others looked at each other.

If there were only gusts of breeze at the beginning, after a few minutes, a strong wind suddenly blew outside. Looking at the direction of the flying flag, you could tell that it was the south wind.

Wang Yu always thought that Xun Yu was a strategist and politician, but he did not expect that he also had a certain knowledge of astronomy and could actually see that there would be a south wind tonight.

However, it is also possible that this is the manifestation of the skill of destiny. After all, this skill can bring people great luck.

At this time, Yuchi Gong and others all looked at Xun Yu. If they were polite to Xun Yu at the beginning because of Wang Yu's order, then now it was because of his own ability.

Being able to see celestial phenomena is not something that ordinary people can do.

And Ju Wuba's eyes lit up. After all, Xun Yu was not only a strategic figure, but also knowledgeable about astronomy. He was truly a rare talent. With his assistance, Lord Yu would be able to accomplish great things in the future.

Wang Yu was very satisfied when he saw that the way his subordinates looked at Xun Yu had changed. After all, they would be colleagues soon.

However, Wang Yu decided to add fuel to the fire.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu's eyes suddenly turned and a plan came to mind. Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, he took off his sword.

"What is the lord going to do?" everyone asked puzzled.

"Military advisor, this is my sword. In this battle, the entire army must obey your orders. If anyone disobeys, you can use this sword to kill them all..." Wang Yu said without hesitation and directly gave Xun Yu the highest authority.

Wang Yu did this to show his attitude. He could feel that Xun Yu was gradually moving closer to him, so he added fuel to the fire.

After all, whether in the Han Dynasty or later dynasties, the sword of a military commander was no joke. Its function was equivalent to the golden order in later generations.

Whoever Wang Yu gave the sword to was equivalent to granting him the rights he possessed. This was not something that could be compared to verbal orders. In other words, whoever possessed Wang Yu's sword could command the army under his command without going through him as the main general.

To put it more seriously, if this person had evil intentions, it would be a piece of cake for him to rebel. After all, as long as they were Wang Yu's subordinates, he could kill anyone he wanted.

Especially the Han people, the soldiers in the army recognize this.

…………

In the original novel, Yue Fei had just arrived and was worried that the generals would not obey him, so he borrowed the sword from Ritian and used it to subdue the Yanmen army.

There is also Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He was also a newcomer and had no prestige in the army, so he borrowed Liu Bei's sword because he was afraid that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were unwilling to accept his plan, would secretly disobey his plan.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that this still falls into the category of borrowing. Even Liu Bei, who was considered a gentleman in the eyes of later generations, and who respected Zhuge Liang very much and claimed that he was like a fish in water, never really gave him the sword.

It can be seen how important the general's sword is.
