Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 471 Zhuge Liang borrows the east wind, Sima Yi's doubts
It was almost dawn when Lu Su crossed the river and returned to the Han army camp, but Zhuge Liang had not slept all night.

He was very surprised to see Lu Su returning alone.

"Zijing, why... are you back?"

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and asked. He had thought that Lu Su would be in great danger on this trip, but he never expected that he would return so soon.

Cao Cao is actually willing to let him go?

Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was just luck. Cao Cao was suspicious and cautious and refused to let others take over, so he ordered me to return."

"Going to Cao's camp was like entering a tiger's den. I was almost killed by Cao Cao."

Cao Cao was extremely suspicious.

If he had not been able to respond quickly and had not revealed his true colors, he would have been killed by Cao Cao long ago.

This trip made him feel like he had walked through the gates of hell.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang knew that Lu Su must have experienced many twists and turns when he entered Cao's camp, and it was not easy for him to come back alive.

After Lu Su rested for a while, he continued to ask: "Zijing, what did Cao Cao say?"

Lu Su did not hide anything and told the whole process of meeting Cao Cao in Cao's camp tonight. Then he smiled and said, "Although Cao Cao was suspicious of me, he could not resist the temptation in the end."

"He ordered me to return so that when Gongjin and I led our troops to surrender, he would send someone to inform him in advance so that he could provide support."

"He was successfully deceived!"

Although the process was difficult, fortunately they achieved their ultimate goal and successfully tricked Cao Cao into falling into their trap of false surrender.

All that’s left is to implement it as planned.

Zhuge Liang was relieved after hearing this, and he smiled and said to Lu Su: "If this plan succeeds, Zijing and Gongjin will take the first place in the credit!"

Although he formulated the entire plan, the key still lies in Zhou Yu and Lu Su. Zhou Yu was beaten to pieces, and Lu Su went deep into Cao's camp to persuade Cao Cao.

Both of them have made great contributions.

Lu Su said modestly: "No, no, it's all thanks to the military advisor's brilliant plan... How is Gongjin now? Has he woken up?"

The letter of false surrender had been written long ago, and Zhou Yu himself had been in a coma after being seriously injured in broad daylight.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "He woke up not long ago and just took some medicine. Wen Gongzheng and I are going to visit him."

"Since Zijing is back, let's go together."

Lu Su was very happy to learn that Zhou Yu had woken up, so he did not reject Zhuge Liang's proposal and went with him to Zhou Yu's tent.

As soon as they entered the tent, they smelled a strong smell of blood and bitter medicine, and saw Zhou Yu lying flat on the bed with his back exposed.

Although the back had been applied with medicine and bandaged, blood still seeped out of the gauze. It looked so miserable.

"Gong Jin!"

Seeing this, Lu Su couldn't help feeling quite distressed.

Hearing Lu Su's voice, Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he asked was: "Zijing, did you trick Cao thief?"

Lu Su nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Gongjin, Cao Cao has believed our plan of false surrender. Tomorrow night we will use fire to attack Cao's camp!"

The reason why they went to so much trouble was to make Cao Cao lower his guard so that the ships could successfully approach Cao's warships.

If this layer was not there, when Cao Cao saw so many enemy warships approaching, he would definitely disperse his ships to meet the enemy, and the fire attack would not be very effective.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

A weak smile appeared on Zhou Yu's pale face.

The worries in my heart finally dissipated.

Zhuge Liang consoled him, "Gongjin, just rest and recover. We will take care of the rest."

Zhou Yu smiled and was about to say something when a gust of wind suddenly blew in from outside the tent, blowing up the door curtain of the tent.

Feeling the wind, Zhou Yu was startled and his eyes involuntarily looked at the flagpole erected outside the military tent.

The flag above is fluttering in the wind.

Zhou Yu stared at the flag for a long time, and then as if he thought of something, his face suddenly turned pale, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

After a moment, he actually opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Gongjin! Gongjin, what's wrong with you?!"

Lu Su was shocked, his face full of horror.

Zhou Yu stared at the flag outside the military tent and uttered one word after another with all his strength: "Wind——!"

After saying this, he fainted.

"wind?!"

Lu Su turned his head and glanced outside the tent. He had no idea what Zhou Yu meant.

But now he has no time to think so much.

He quickly ordered someone to invite a medical officer to treat Zhou Yu.

Only Zhuge Liang looked at the flag flying outside the military tent, his brows slightly furrowed, and seemed to be thinking about something.

The medical officer came quickly to treat Zhou Yu.

Although Lu Su was worried, he couldn't do anything. However, he was puzzled by what Zhou Yu said before he fell into a coma.

"Military Advisor, Gongjin just mentioned 'wind', what exactly does that mean?"

"What's wrong with the wind?"

Lu Su couldn't help but ask Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang sighed, pointed at the fluttering flags outside with his feather fan and said, "We all overlooked one thing...that is the direction of the wind."

"The wind blowing on the river is northwesterly at this time of year. If we launch a fire attack on Cao's army at this time, the ships will probably drift back to our camp."

Lu Su's face changed when he heard this.

Only then did he understand why Zhou Yu was so frightened after just one look at the wind direction, and even vomited blood and fainted.

Here’s the reason!

"Then what should we do? Could it be that the heavens are not helping us Yanhan, but helping you?"

Lu Su looked desperate and muttered to himself.

Other problems can be solved, but how can human power decide what kind of wind will blow?

If the northwest wind continues to blow, then the fire attack plan they had previously formulated would be ruined, and all the efforts they had made so much effort to use to inflict painstaking efforts and feign surrender would be in vain!
When he thought of this, Lu Su also felt a tightness in his chest and a feeling of blood boiling.

Only Zhuge Liang stood at the door of the military tent, waving a feather fan, watching the dawn outside without saying a word. The morning breeze ruffled the corners of his clothes, making him look as if he was floating in the air.

"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."

Zhuge Liang stood there for a long time, then suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Su, his eyes bright and full of energy, "How about if I can borrow the east wind for three days and three nights?"

"Borrow the east wind?"

Lu Su was a little confused by what Zhuge Liang said, but he still said: "Let alone three days and three nights, even one night of strong wind is enough!"

"But...how can I borrow the wind?"

Money can be borrowed, food can be borrowed, and soldiers can be borrowed.

But how to borrow the wind?
Could it be that Zhuge Liang is joking?

However, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Leave it to me. If I say it can be lent, then it can be lent." "Zijing, take your men to the south mountain of the military camp near the river and build an altar named Seven Stars. Then select 120 guardians from each army."

"I will give you three days to perform a ritual on the altar. I will seize the good fortune of heaven and ask the heavens for an east wind!"

Zhuge Liang's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

And full of unparalleled self-confidence.

Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Lu Su was shocked and suspicious. He did not quite believe in such ghost and god stories, but he was well aware of Zhuge Liang's intelligence and knew he would not make random comments.

Could it be possible... that we can really borrow the east wind?

After thinking it over, Lu Su finally nodded in agreement.

There is no other way now.

……

After receiving Zhuge Liang's instructions, Lu Su quickly led people to build the Seven Star Altar on the south mountain of the military camp near the river, in preparation for Zhuge Liang to ascend the altar and perform rituals.

During this period, two more troops arrived at the Han army camp.

One group was led by Chen Gong and Zhao Yun. Now that the crisis in Chang'an had been resolved, the two received orders from Liu Xie and led 10,000 elite troops to rush to the rescue.

The other branch came from Yizhou.

The leader of this army was none other than Sima Yi. In addition, Zhang Liao also came with the army.

They also received the news that Chang'an was under siege in Yizhou.

He was originally leading his troops back to provide assistance, but on the way he learned that the emperor had already led his troops to defeat the rebels, so Zhang He continued to return to Chang'an, while Zhang Liao and Sima Yi took advantage of the situation to go south to Jingzhou to provide assistance to the army in the middle.

"Zilong! Hahahaha!"

When Lu Bu saw Zhao Yun, he went up to him and gave him a bear hug, then picked him up and spun him around on the spot, laughing non-stop.

"Zilong, you are so awesome! You killed that villain Ma Chao for me. I was right about you!"

"You are worthy of my recognition as the second most powerful general of the Han Dynasty!"

Lu Bu said happily that this was not a derogatory statement, he was fully qualified to say this.

After all, there is only one number one, and that is him!

Zhao Yun was cheerful and said with a smile, "Ma Chao is a bit of a thief. I have put in a lot of effort to deal with him. If Lord Wen goes there, he will definitely be able to kill Ma Chao faster than I can."

"That's it, that's it!"

Lu Bu felt very happy after hearing these words and was very proud of himself.

Then he squinted at Zhang Liao and raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, who is this? Isn't this Zhang Wenyuan? What brings you here?"

"Why don't you stay in Yizhou and come to me? Is it because you can't win credit in Yizhou?"

Lu Bu heard about the war in Yizhou.

Although Cao Xiu and Cao Hong were defeated, the credit goes to Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Zhang He also made contributions, but Zhang Liao did not have many military achievements.

That's why he was so sarcastic.

Zhang Liao's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "The battle in Yizhou was too easy. I heard that you have been unable to conquer Jiangxia for a long time, so I came here to help you."

"It's a pity that there was not enough food in Jiangxia City. Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan didn't hold out until I arrived, so you got a chance to take advantage of it."

Zhang Liao’s response was blunt.

What this means is that the only reason you, Lu Bu, were able to capture Jiangxia City was because Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and others inside had run out of food and supplies, which allowed you to take advantage.

"Haha, well said! Want to practice?"

Lu Bu said with a wry smile, clenching his fists until they made a crackling sound.

Zhang Liao remained silent and did not respond.

He didn't want to be beaten up by Lu Bu.

While the two were arguing with each other, Sima Yi kept looking for Zhuge Liang, but he didn't see him, so he couldn't help but ask: "Zhuge Village... Where is Zhuge Kongming?"

"Oh, Military Advisor, go to Nanshan to check the progress of the altar construction."

Lu Bu answered casually.

Chen Gong asked in confusion: "Altar? What altar?"

Hearing Chen Gong's question, Lu Bu immediately changed his expression and said to him warmly: "Some time ago, the military advisor came up with a plan to target Cao Cao..."

"And so and so... like this and like this..."

"...But the wind has been blowing from the northwest these days. The military advisor said that only when the wind blows from the east can we use fire attacks, so we plan to perform a ritual to borrow the wind."

Lu Bu told Chen Gong in detail what had happened, from the self-torture tactic to the false surrender to the fire attack, he explained everything clearly without leaving any detail.

Upon learning that Zhuge Liang had deceived Cao Cao with the strategy of self-torture and false surrender, Chen Gong showed admiration; but when he heard that Zhuge Liang was going to perform a ritual to borrow the east wind, his expression became strange.

"This is nonsense!"

Sima Yi frowned and snorted coldly: "How can we rely on ghosts and gods for important military affairs? What if we can't borrow the east wind?"

"Zhuge Kongming is simply playing with the lives of the soldiers!"

"No, where is he now? I want to go find him!"

When he heard about the self-torture tactic and the false surrender tactic, he thought Zhuge Liang's strategy was very clever, but he didn't expect that there would suddenly be a ritual to borrow wind.

Is there anything more absurd than this?
Just when Sima Yi was about to go to Zhuge Liang to ask for punishment, a light laugh came over: "Zhongda, long time no see, how are you?"

Everyone turned to look.

Zhuge Liang came over accompanied by Lu Su, with a faint smile on his face, looking extremely elegant.

"Kong Ming!"

Sima Yi was not polite. When he saw Zhuge Liang, he rushed forward and asked, "What are you doing? I absolutely do not agree with this!"

"Now that the reinforcements have arrived, why don't you put away these tricks of pretending to be mysterious!"

Their two armies had a total of more than 15,000 troops, which undoubtedly added a large amount of strength to the Han army, and they were no longer inferior to Cao's army in terms of military strength.

There's no need to go around in circles like this.

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Now everything is ready, we only need an east wind. Once I borrow the east wind, I can easily defeat Cao's army and save many casualties. Why give up halfway?"

Sima Yi snorted coldly: "A decisive battle with Cao is no joke. You said you want to borrow the east wind. How do you borrow it? Who can you borrow it from?"

"This is unprecedented and absolutely ridiculous!"

"I admit that you, Zhuge Kongming, are resourceful, but you can't do such a ridiculous thing. Do you think we are all three-year-old children?"

Sima Yi never believed in ghosts, gods or oaths.

In his opinion, if there really were ghosts and gods in heaven, how could the Han Dynasty have almost collapsed due to the chaos caused by treacherous ministers and rebels?

Even if ghosts and gods really exist, how can Zhuge Liang, a mere mortal, command ghosts and gods?
Chen Gong saw that the situation was somewhat tense, so he stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Military Advisor, there are reasons for doing this. Let's discuss it in detail..."

"What if I could borrow the east wind?"

Before Chen Gong finished speaking, Zhuge Liang spoke, looking at Sima Yi with a smile, as if he was confident.

Sima Yi said without hesitation: "If you can really borrow the east wind, I, Sima Yi, am willing to worship you as my teacher and be under you from now on!"
