Chapter 55: A Little Temptation
Chibi, from ancient times to the present is a place where soldiers must fight, and during the period of the Three Kingdoms for hegemony, Chibi is at the border of the three countries, which side if it wins Chibi first, it can occupy the advantage of the entire war situation, which is also the reason why the three parties do not give in to each other, with the continuous passage of time, friction continues, and it is about to officially start the war, and the side of the Sun and Liu United Army, the current situation is still passive, after all, the lack of troops is the short board of the short board, in order to win the victory of this battle, the two military divisions are discussing strategies in the camp tent at this time.
"Brother Zhuge , the number of Cao's troops this time has greatly exceeded our predictions, so far they are still increasing their strength to replenish, it seems that we have to prepare for a protracted war. Zhou Gongjin said while looking at the strategy map.
Zhuge Liang didn't see any nervousness, but said indifferently: "This time, Cao's army is prepared, and in my opinion, it will launch several tentative attacks soon." Seeing Zhou Gongjin bowing his head and pondering, he continued: "I watched and calculated from across the shore a few days ago, and the number of ships on the other side did not match my calculation, and it should increase. ”
Zhou Gongjin frowned deeper and asked, "Brother Zhuge has any good plans?"
Zhuge Liang said: "For today's plan, the best way is to attack from afar, and then attack it unprepared." ”
Zhou Gongjin nodded and said: "It is true that it can only be like this, it is easy to say that it is unprepared, but ......" hesitated, Zhou Gongjin shook his head and said: "But now the number of arrows in our army is not enough, how can this be good." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled: "It's okay, wait for the mountain people to calculate and see if they can prepare more arrows." After speaking, he walked out of Zhou Gongjin's tent and came to a small dirt slope.
I saw Zhuge Liang find a branch, carved a gossip array on the ground, and then walked to the middle of the array, with his back to the 'away' position and facing the 'Kan' position, his right hand first pointed to the 'shock' position, closed his eyes, his left hand was flat on his chest, his thumb kept touching the rest of his fingers, and his right hand pointed to other directions from time to time.
The soldiers standing guard saw Zhuge Liang standing in place and constantly turning, and he didn't know what he wanted, so he watched happily and chatted while watching: "Hey, Brother Zhang, what is this Zhuge military advisor doing?"
"I don't know, I don't understand, how do we know what these big people think. ”
"Brother Liu, can you see it?"
"Stand on your guard well, what kind of coaxing you will follow. ”
Just as the soldiers standing guard were whispering, Zhuge Liang opened his eyes, frowned slightly, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and started a new round of calculations.
After counting three hangings in a row, he finally sighed and said: "I didn't expect there to be such a capable person in Cao Jun, it's a pity, it's a pity, but this fortune is not in the land country." With that, he left.
Zhou Gongjin has been waiting for Zhuge Liang in the tent, and there are words in his mouth: "Alas, I think I, Zhou Gongjin, am also a smart person in the world, and I am helpless in the face of such a gap this time, and I don't know if Brother Zhuge can calculate the way." As he spoke, the curtain was opened, and Zhuge Liang walked in from outside.
Zhou Gongjin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Zhuge , is there a good plan?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "If you have a way, you still need Brother Zhou's cooperation." ”
Zhou Gongjin said: "No problem, but I don't know what Brother Zhuge is going to do?"
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly and said, "First step, I need Brother Zhou to help me prepare five hundred awning boats, one thousand straw men, and five hundred buckets. ”
Zhou Gongjin asked, "Can you find the arrows with these things?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Exactly, in addition, according to my calculations, the Cao army will send a small group of soldiers to test tonight, can Brother Zhou lend me twenty soldiers?"
Zhou Gongjin said inexplicably: "It's no problem to borrow troops, I will also ask Brother Zhuge to prepare for you, but I don't know what Brother Zhuge is going to do?
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "No problem, then tonight, the mountain people will give Brother Zhou a performance." ”
At this time, in the tent of Cao's barracks, Cao Mengde was discussing with Sima Yi how to test the actions of the opposing coalition army.
Sima Yi said: "The lord of the country, Weichen thinks that we should send a small group of people to spy on the movements of Sun and Liu's joint forces first, so as to prepare for a full strategy."
Cao Mengde stroked his beard lightly and said, "Does Sima Junshi think there is something wrong with the other party?"
Sima Yi said: "The day before yesterday, Weichen watched the stars and felt that our attack might be hindered this time. ”
Cao Mengde said: "Then according to what the military advisor thinks, I only want this red cliff to belong to my land country." ”
Sima Yi said 'No' and got up and went out, came to the tent, and shouted, "General Xu is in the tent?"
After a while, a big man with big shoulders and a wide waist came out of the tent, and when he saw Sima Yi, he said angrily: "Sima Junshi, what is the matter with me Xu Chu?"
Sima Yi shortened Xu Chu, raised his head and said to him, "General Xu, you will take a team of elite soldiers to explore the road with me later." ”
Xu Chu laughed and shouted to the soldier's tent: "The most powerful ones come out and go out with me to play." After saying that, more than a dozen people ran out of the tent, and after standing in line, they said loudly, "I will wait and go." ”
Sima Yi looked at these sergeants with a smile and said softly, "After sunset, you wait with me to take a small boat to the opposite side to explore the way." Hearing this, Xu Chu ordered everyone to get ready to go.
After sunset, Sima Yi arranged five small boats, took Xu Chu and a team of soldiers, and sailed in the direction of the coalition forces on the other side.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang also took Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and a team of soldiers to the riverside, calculated the approximate location, and then led a group of people to an abandoned ferry, waiting for the other party to arrive.
Sima Yi continued to move forward with the boat, but his mood became more and more messy, and he couldn't calm down, and said to the soldiers holding the boat: "Do you know that there is a secluded place to dock on the riverside?"
The soldier replied, "Commander, this shore is full of cliffs, and ships cannot dock, only a dilapidated ferry and a dock near the enemy camp can go ashore. ”
Sima Yi sat in the cabin and pinched his fingers, and after a while, he said to the soldiers: "Let's go to the ferry and stop the boat, if my expectations are right, they should be waiting for us at the dock now." ”
The soldier took the order, changed the direction of the boat, and headed towards the old ferry. The boat traveled for a long time with a stick of incense, and you could see the outline of the ferry, Sima Yi looked at it by the moonlight, there was no movement on the shore, and just about to give the order to dock, he heard Xu Chu next to him say: "There is an ambush on this shore." ”
Sima Yi turned his head and asked him, "How do you know that there is an ambush?"
Xu Chu scratched his head and replied: "The military advisor doesn't know, I was born with night vision, so the lord always asks me to do this night attack, hahaha." ”
Sima Yi nodded when he heard this, and shouted to the shore: "Since you are here, please come out and see you." With that, he ordered the ship to stop and waited for the other party's movement.
On the shore, Zhuge Liang and others heard Sima Yi's shout, and Gan Ning was just about to rush out, but he was stopped by Zhou Gongjin, only to see him looking at Zhuge Liang with a smile and not speaking.
Zhuge Liang stood up alone, waved his hand to Zhou Gongjin, walked to the edge of the ferry, and said to the shadow of the ship in the night: "Is Sima Junshi on the other side?"
Although Sima Yi couldn't see the person who came, he knew when he heard the sound that the person who came must be a Sven person, so he replied: "Officially, dare to ask the name of this gentleman." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "The name of the mountain man is insignificant, and I also ask Sima Junshi to bring a sentence to your lord." ”
Sima Yi asked, "What words?"
Zhuge Liang said slowly: "Knowing the difficulties and retreating can protect the country, and it is inevitable to lose your footing in distress." ”
Sima Yi sneered: "This gentleman's tone is a little bigger, based on the comparison of the strength of our two sides, even if the Dragon Country and the Wind Country are united, it may not be the opponent of our Land Country." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled: "That's all my words, Sima Junshi, please go back." After speaking, he raised his hand to Zhou Gongjin.
Zhou Gongjin saw Zhuge Liang's gesture, so he said to Gan Ning next to him: "Let everyone come out and hold up the torches." ”
Suddenly, the entire ferry was illuminated by firelight, and Sima Yi saw from a distance that there was a middle-aged man dressed in white and holding a feather fan standing on the side of the ferry, so he became interested and asked: "This gentleman is really good at arithmetic, dare to ask where the teacher is?"
Zhuge Liang still said calmly: "The mountain people will also know this hand of divination, and it is okay if the teacher does not mention it, if Sima Junshi insists on not leaving, then the mountain man can only order the capture of the military division." ”
Sima Yi smiled slightly, and said to the soldiers holding the boat: "Turn the bow of the boat and go back." After speaking, he looked at Zhuge Liang on the other side, and said in his heart: "I thought that this time was a stable battle, but I didn't expect that the other party would have a master, it seems that this time there is finally a good opponent." Thinking about it, he laughed.
Zhuge Liang saw that Sima Yi had turned around, so he said to Zhou Gongjin: "Brother Zhou, I'm afraid there won't be any more scenes like this in the future, let's go, let's go back and prepare." ”
Zhou Gongjin kept smiling at Zhuge Liang, he felt that he could be as famous as such a person, that was to lift himself, and the other party's means and temperament were above him. Shaking his head, Zhou Gongjin went back with Zhuge Liang and the others......
