The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

It doesn't matter how Jiang Gan told Cao Cao when he went back, "Gong Jin's magnanimity is so high that he can't move with words", and how dissatisfied Cao Cao was or didn't take it seriously.

The main point is that if the face is torn off, everyone will hold back their energy and fight a battle.

Not to mention, there was an encounter at this time, because everyone was tentative, so they didn't send their own heavyweight players. Cao Cao sent two young generals whose names they hadn't even heard, It seems that Jingzhou surrendered, Zhou Yu sent Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, telling them that a good start is very important, and only victory is not allowed.

Cao Jun, who has been doing mock exams and has no formal exam experience, did so badly in this tragic spot check. He was hunted down by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, forcing Cao Cao to release the big ship with iron chains to threaten him. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai didn't dare to chase too far, and Cao Cao was also worried about Liu Bei joining forces with Zhou Yu in Xiakou, so everyone retreated to the camp in the end. Zhou Yu didn't win much, and Boss Cao didn't lose badly.

Huang Gai saw an opportunity from this encounter. He said to Zhou Yu: "There are too many invaders today, and it is difficult to last. But watch the warships, end to end, burn them and go away."

Zhou Yu, who was suffering from the wind that sent Jiang Qian away, was lying on the couch and smiled wryly: "The old general first found the southeast wind, and the wind direction is unfavorable. Cao's army cannot be burned, and his family must fold in first."

Huang Gai felt worried when he thought about it.

Zhou Yu quickly comforted him again: "This plan can be used, the direction of the wind is God's will. It may not be that there is no southeast wind in winter, or when the southeast wind blows up, we will use this plan-please don't reveal it, old general."

Huang Gai retreated on his own.

Huang Gai went out, and Zhuge Liang came in, muttering over and over again, "You can burn it and go away."

"Don't read it, you can't think of another way."

"How can the solution be so easy to think about? The war is going to start in a few days? Is there no way after thinking about it for so many days? But why do I feel that General Huang's 'burn and go' has a deep meaning... "

"Huh?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with interest.

"That is to say, we don't have to use the southeast wind to burn the whole process, as long as the time and place to burn Cao's army is the southeast wind. Combat is inherently mobile, and we will fight as we go. If we can find a time and place with a southeast wind, Then lure Cao Jun over, wouldn't it be the same as attacking with fire?"

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up: "Little pig, you reminded me, Jiang Anfeng!"

People who live by the river are very familiar with the wind on the river bank.This is an airflow phenomenon determined by the special geographical environment of the river.Due to the joint action of water flow, depressions, high walls, deep valleys, etc., the airflow entering the terrain is forced to form a fixed flow direction, which is the same throughout the year and has nothing to do with the season.The punters on the banks of the Yangtze River know how to skillfully use the riverside wind to propel the boats forward, and they have business all year round.

Zhou Yu turned over and got off the couch, rushed to the side of the sand table and began to search carefully: "I remember a place I went to when I was training soldiers, it seems to be the southeast wind..."

Zhuge Liang watched Zhou Yu plant a small flag marked on a high cliff: "This is it! It really is here!"

Chibi.

"How do you let Cao Cao go to Chibi?"

"Let General Huang issue a false surrender letter. Chibi is relatively close to Cao Ying, and Cao Cao should believe the surrender here."

"What I'm worried about is that Cao Cao doesn't send big ships out, but only small boats to receive them..." Zhou Yu is worried that the fire attack can only be used once, and it must be successful once to destroy the vital strength of Cao's army. With precautions, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Judging from the last battle, Cao Jun also wants to win a water battle. You can tell General Huang that if the big ship does not come out, he will hunt down the small boat and force Cao Jun's army to fight. Cao Cao's big ship has not been practiced in actual combat, so this time he Should give it a try, and we'll just light a big ship in the southeast and it'll be a lot easier from now on."

"What if Cao Cao thinks that the time for a decisive battle is not enough, so he doesn't leave the big ship?"

"Then there is no other way. Tell General Huang to withdraw and find another way. Anyway, the fire attack must not be used easily. You can't light the ship without seeing the big ship."

"There is also a false surrender... Wouldn't Cao Cao be suspicious?"

"It definitely will. But according to normal people's thinking, even if he is suspicious, he will definitely send someone out to find out. First, Jiang Dong has a surrender mood. Cao Cao will not be unaware. But that’s just to say that you will never surrender to Cao, Senior Sister, not necessarily others; secondly, Cao Cao is not afraid of Jiangdong because he has a big ship, even if he finds out afterwards that he has been fooled, he is not afraid. So he may not believe it immediately, but I will definitely send someone to look into it.”

"That makes sense. But, little pig, the southeast wind is such a good idea, and I don't think it's worth it to burn the boat. Wouldn't it be better if we used this opportunity to publicize supernatural events to motivate Jiangdong's morale?"

Zhuge Liang shivered: "Senior sister, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with a half-smile, "You know what I'm talking about."

Zhuge Liang resolutely refused to do it: "Don't even think about it! Sister, I really can't do such a thing as dancing to the gods!"

Zhou Yu still looked at Zhuge Liang with a half-smile.

"Absolutely not! I don't know how to dance to the Great God!" Zhuge Liang remained firm and unyielding.

Zhou Yu continued to look at Zhuge Liang with a half-smile: "Think about your uncle..."

"Hey... alright!" Zhuge Liang seemed to have made up his mind, he walked back and forth a few steps shaking his feather fan, and then said loudly: "If the governor wants a southeast wind, he can build one in Nanping Mountain, called the Seven Stars." The altar is nine feet high and has three floors, surrounded by 120 people holding flags and flags. How about doing it on the stage and borrowing the strong southeast wind for three days and nights to help the governor use his troops?"

"Haha..." Zhou Yu laughed so hard that he bent down, "'Xiu Dao for three days and three nights, only one night of strong winds, big things can be done.' Little pig, did I recite it correctly?"

Zhuge Liang wanted to go crazy, but held back.

Zhou Yu is a student of national defense, and the history of war and tactics are compulsory. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has almost been turned upside down. Some supplementary materials, such as Wei Lue Pei Songzhi's Notes, are also compulsory readings. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also a control group.

Although Zhuge Liang was born in science and engineering, she is also very familiar with Romance of the Three Kingdoms.When her mother and father got married, there was a set of beautifully decorated "Mao Zonggang Comments on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Embroidered Version)" from the Republic of China period presented by her grandfather in the dowry. It is said that the cultural relics are of great value.

Enough laughing, Zhou Yu ordered people to invite Lu Su and Huang Gai, and then ordered Lu Su to arrange manpower to build an altar in Nanping Mountain.

Lu Su was a little confused when he heard this: "Soochow still has Nanping Mountain?"

Zhou Yu laughed again after hearing this, Zhuge Liang scolded Luo Guanzhong in his heart for not studying geography well.

When Lu Su laughed so puzzled, Zhou Yu said: "Just find any mountain. Specifically, let Kong Ming tell you how to do it."

Then Zhou Yu continued to find Huang Gai and Lu Meng to prepare for the fire attack, and the discussion was finalized.

Zhuge Liang fasted and bathed for three days. During this period, he took time to write letters to Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, and then recited the "Tao Te Ching" in his spare time.In fact, she is quite satisfied with the "fasting" thing - in the Han Dynasty when pepper, pepper, pepper and other spice plants that remove fishy smell were extremely rare, fish always had a fishy smell, and Zhuge Liang felt that it would be better to eat vegetables every day.

Three days later, Zhuge Liang led 120 people to the Seven Stars Altar, attracting a lot of people along the way.Everyone scrambled to ask what was going on, and some soldiers who maintained order took the trouble to explain: Pray to the sky and pray to the gods, Jiangdong will surely win.

When they reached the Seven-Star Altar, the publicity effect was about the same. Zhuge Liang boarded the Seven-Star Altar barefoot, and Lu Su also came to the altar.

"When it comes to the blessing of the gods, everyone in Jiangdong knows about it now." Lu Su laughed.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, but didn't speak. Lu Su felt that he had an illusion that Zhuge Liang today was a little different from the one he saw in Zhou Yu's tent.

"Does Kong Ming have the confidence to complete today's wind sacrifice ceremony? Just stick to it until nightfall."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded: "Zijing, please go and assist Zhou Dudu. Just leave this place to Liang. You must not let Cao Cao's army go tonight."

Lu Su replied: "Don't worry, Kong Ming." Then he turned and stepped down from the altar.

"The guards of the altar listen to the orders! During the time of offering sacrifices to the wind, each performs his duties and guards his position. If anyone leaves his post without authorization, whispers to each other, speaks nonsense, or strikes monsters in surprise, he will be beheaded!"

Listening to Zhuge Liang's instructions, Lu Su acted like a general who had been promoted to the stage, and was very serious. He couldn't help being a little puzzled: Zhou Yu had already given him the truth, and it was just to boost morale in the name of heaven, so Zhuge Liang was only pretending, and there was no need to take it seriously.But of course the truth cannot be told to those soldiers and the people.But listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Lu Su vaguely felt that it was not that simple.

Lu Su couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhuge Liang on the stage.

Zhuge Liang walked on the stage in a serious manner, and his steps were very steady. Even if he didn't understand, he could see that he was very organized.The soldiers holding the flags at all levels also walked in a serious and orderly formation according to what they had been taught before.

The atmosphere was chilling, Lu Su shivered, and hurried down from the altar.

White mist gradually rose on the Seven Star Altar, and the wind slowly picked up until Zhuge Liang's black crane cloak was blown into the air.People watching from a distance say that Mr. Zhuge is a real god, and some people curl their lips and say that fog and wind in the mountains are common things and not worth making a fuss about.

Zhuge Jin was also among the spectators. He remembered that during the two years when Zhuge Liang entered Zhuge's house, besides Mohist classics, there were also Taoist classics among the books he often read.

The decisive battle is imminent, how many people's fate will be decided by this battle, when everyone is uneasy, Zhou Yu's mood calmed down instead.

Huang Gai has already prepared a warship full of firelights, and is ready to set off at the port. Cheng Pu, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, etc. are also leading the army, and the task assignment has been determined.Zhou Yu and Huang Gai made an agreement to send troops when they saw ten thousand rockets shooting like shooting stars.Huang Gai was impatient and waited and waited. Several times he sent someone to ask Zhou Yu, "When can I go to battle?" Zhou Yu's answer was only one word: Wait.

The night wasn't dark enough.

The time has not come.

Tonight is the time to defeat the enemy army in one go. If you fail, it will be difficult to have a chance to win again. Even if you are lucky, you may have to switch to a protracted battle with the opponent.

Wait a little longer for the chances and conditions to win a little more.

Just a second.

Wait a minute.

When Huang Gai sent someone to ask questions again, Zhou Yu simply refused to answer. She left the top of the towering stone wall overlooking the entire battlefield, picked up a slightly low-lying place, and pulled out a purple bamboo flute from her waist. After simply trying a few notes, I started playing the tune by myself.

The wind was bitter and the river was rushing, but Zizhu's sweet and mellow voice was unexpectedly not covered.

Purple bamboo is a common plant in the Yangtze River basin. The bamboo flute in Zhou Yu's hand was given to Zhou Yu by Sun Ce on a whim when he and Sun Ce were patrolling along the river.Sun Ce joked, Gong Jin, I know you are good at playing the piano, but it is inconvenient to carry it around. Anyway, the flute is also a musical instrument, so you can take the flute with you in the future, and play it whenever you want, it is much better than the piano.

In fact, the sound of a flute made of bitter bamboo will be clearer, and a really good flute should be dried in the shade for three years before being drilled to make holes... But Zhou Yu didn't point it out in a bad way. Sun Ce is not proficient in music and music-related things. It would be great if you want to make a flute.

For several years, after Sun Ce passed away, Zhou Yu seldom played this flute, but she kept it with her all the time. When she was free, she would take it out and rub it in her hands. The cold touch of the purple bamboo would remind her of riding horses with Sun Ce in the bridle, The pleasure of pointing to the country.Every dent in the bamboo flute has a story, although many are almost worn out.When Sun Ce finished making this flute, he deliberately brushed a layer of varnish on the outside, so that the whole body of the flute was flooded with light. Zhou Yu's years of careful cultivation gave the flute a layer of grease, making it look moist and smooth. , clear and lovely.

All Jiangdong generals stood solemnly by the turbulent river, quietly listening to Zhou Yu playing a tune.

No matter how long the song is, it will eventually end.

At the end of the song, everyone suddenly felt that the wind direction had changed, but it was only for a moment. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not sure if it was their own illusion or the fact.

Zhou Yu walked back to the front of the crowd and called out in a low voice, "Ziming, fetch the torch."

"Yes." Lu Meng took the torch from the soldier next to him.

Zhou Yu put the bamboo flute close to the torch.

One end of the flute covered with varnish and grease was quickly ignited, and the bamboo burst and made a "cracking" sound.

Lu Meng didn't understand why Zhou Yu wanted to burn this beloved flute: "The governor..."

But he didn't ask the question, because he heard Zhou Yu's whispered prayer.

"Bo Fu, the spirit in the sky, please bless Jiangdong, bless Shao'er, bless me..."

Zhou Yu said, throwing the torch in his hand into the sky——

Lu Xun on the cliff not far away saw a light of fire in midair, and immediately ordered: "Shoot the arrow!"

Countless rockets shot into the air.

At the same time, Huang Gai gave an order, and dozens of warships loaded with fish oil, charcoal, sulfur, and flame nitrate headed straight for Chibi.

The southeast wind suddenly blew up, Zhuge Liang on the Seven Star Altar put away his sword, and looked at Zhou Yu’s water village to light the fire: “Senior sister, Zhuge Liang can only help you here, and then, it’s up to you how to achieve this unworldly feat. "

As if he didn’t want to give Zhuge Liang too much time to think, a loud voice (with a big bamboo horn) under the Seven Stars Altar suddenly rang out: "Little pig! Come down! I’m here to pick you up! Go home!"

According to "Three Kingdoms · Book of Wu · Biography of Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Lu Meng": Cao Jun was defeated in the Battle of Chibi. "At that time, the wind was strong and fierce, and the camps on the shore were spread. In a short while, the smoke spread to the sky, and many people and horses burned and drowned. The army retreated and returned to Baonan County."

The author has something to say:

There have always been different opinions about the southeast wind in the Battle of Chibi, and "Jiang'an wind" is one of the hypotheses.

At the end of this chapter, the Shinzo cutscene is copied.However, the author feels that the part about burning the flute is not very scientific. Bamboo is not wood, and it will crack under high temperature. Sister Zhou is sure that she will not set off firecrackers to hurt herself?

So don't take it seriously, don't learn it.

Don't ask the author whether the southeast wind came from the Zhuge Festival, or it was just Jiang'an wind, the author doesn't know if he doesn't know...
