Chapter 088: Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai 4

Kan Ze left Huang Gai's camp and came to Gan Ning's camp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Gan Ning was stunned: Why did this Kan staff officer come to me for a stroll if he had nothing to do? Gan Ning didn't speak anymore, Kan Ze clenched his fists and arched his hands: "General Gan, yesterday you were beaten by Zhou Yu in public in order to save the old general, I really fought for you." ā€

He looked at Gan Ning, who immediately understood, and smiled without answering. At this time, he heard the sound of soft footsteps outside the tent, Kan Ze looked at Gan Ning, and Gan Ning understood. Before Cai Zhong and Cai He entered the door, Gan Ning was really good at acting, and slapped the table: "Mr. Kan, when it comes to Zhou Yu, I'm angry, what crime did I commit?" He wanted to kill the founding veteran, I begged for a few words of affection, and beat me out of the Chinese army's big account. Staff Officer Kan, as a general, I have suffered such humiliation, I am really ashamed to see Jiangdong's father, what a child Zhou Yu. ā€

At this time, Cai Zhong and Cai He walked into the tent, Kan Ze hurriedly waved his hand to Gan Ning, and made a look, ostensibly afraid that Cai Zhong and Cai He would know, but in fact he intended to let the two brothers see it, and Gan Ning stopped talking, but still gritted his teeth. Kan Ze whispered a few more words in Gan Ning's ear, Gan Ning bowed his head and said nothing, and sighed a few more times. Cai Zhong and Cai He saw all this in their eyes and listened to it, and the two of them looked at each other, wanting to add fuel to the fire on the two.

Cai Zhong smiled all over his face: "May I ask General Gan, why are you angry? Staff Officer Kan, do you have any grievances in your heart?"

Kan Ze frowned: "You don't know, we have a stomach full of bitter water, who are you talking to?"

Cai Zhong continued: "Also, General Huang is really miserable today, why is Zhou Dudu so ruthless? When General Gan was insulted like this, I think all the generals in Jiangdong were indignant. ā€

Cai He said: "General Gan, Mr. Kan, do you have the heart to surrender to Prime Minister Cao?"

Kan Ze pretended to be shocked, Gan Ning was really good at acting, and immediately pulled out his sword, glaring at Cai Zhong and Cai He: "Okay, if you see through our confidential thoughts, you have to kill people." ā€

As he spoke, the sword fell. Cai Zhong hurriedly waved his hand, Cai He's hand was really fast, and he grabbed Gan Ning's wrist.

"General Gan, please calm your anger. Don't worry, we've got a confidant to tell you. ā€

"If you have something to say, I'll kill you when I'm done. ā€

"General, don't kill us, to be honest with you, we were sent by Prime Minister Cao Cheng to surrender. ā€

Gan Ning hurriedly took back the sword: "Two generals, is this true?"

"How can we get you? General Gan, I see that you and Mr. Kan have the intention of surrendering to the prime minister, don't worry, we are willing to be the person to recommend. ā€

Kan Ze looked at Gan Ning, and the two of them signaled to each other before Gan Ning returned the sword: "In this way, we are a family." Two generals, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"How can we talk about this kind of confidential matter casually? Besides, when we came to Soochow, we saw that Zhou Yu was really powerful, so ruthless and unrighteous to the old general and General Gan, we have to show clues, can we still live? General Gan, to tell you the truth, it is because you care for us that we are secretly observing, and we dare to see you tell the truth. ā€

If that's the case, it's a godsend. ā€

"General Gan, we wrote a letter overnight, and we have reported the old general's beating to the prime minister. ā€

Kan Ze pretended to be happy: "Two generals, I also tell you that I crossed the river to meet the prime minister last night, and I have already presented a letter of surrender for the old general. ā€

Gan Ning hurriedly said: "The eldest husband should surrender to the wise lord, two generals, when can you introduce us for us?"

"As long as General Gan and Mr. Kan surrender sincerely, we will write a letter to the prime minister tonight. ā€

"Good. ā€

Gan Ning was very happy, and immediately put on a banquet to thank Cai Zhong and Cai He, and Kan Ze was of course an accompaniment. The four of them chatted while drinking, which was very lively. After the banquet was over, Er Cai returned to the camp and immediately wrote a letter to Cao Cao, saying that Gan Ning was willing to surrender as an internal response.

Kan Ze returned to the camp and also wrote a secret letter to Cao Cao, saying that Huang Gai was grateful to the prime minister for the inclusion and that he would surrender by water, bringing grain, grass and military uniforms and utensils. At that time, the Qinglongya flag will be planted on the ship, which is a code, and the prime minister will send troops to respond.

After Cao Cao received Huang Gai's letter of surrender, he was full of ambition. In mid-November, he took a large boat to inspect the water village. I saw that the rows of warships had been connected with iron cables, pulled up the sails, and rushed into the waves, very stable, and the soldiers practiced martial arts on the warships, as if they were on flat ground.

Strategist Cheng Yu said beside him: "It is certainly beneficial for the warships to be chained, but if Jiangdong attacks with fire, it will be difficult to resist and must be guarded against. ā€

Cao Cao laughed: "The fire attack depends on the wind, it is winter, there is only the northwest wind, if Zhou Yu in Jiangdong attacks with fire, and the northwest wind blows, won't he burn himself?"

Speaking of Zhou Yu, he set a plan for a fire attack, and Huang Gai's deception has also been successful, but the northwest wind blows all day long, making it difficult to realize his plan, and he can't help but become ill, Lu Su told Zhuge Liang the news of Zhou Yu's illness. Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Brother Lu, I am a doctor of Dudu's illness." ā€

So the two went to visit Zhou Yu together, Zhou Yu sighed and said: "My illness is exactly what people have good and bad luck, and no one can say." ā€

Zhuge Liang smiled: "So there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, how can people expect it?" Zhou Yu was taken aback, and expected that Zhuge Liang already knew what was on his mind, so he asked him what medicine he should take?

Zhuge Liang quickly wrote down the secret recipe and handed it over: "This is the source of Du Du's illness." ā€

Zhou Yu took a look, and there were sixteen big characters written on the paper: "If you want to break Cao Gong, you should attack with fire, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." Zhou Yu was taken aback, thinking that Zhuge Liang was really powerful, and he actually knew his thoughts?

"Mr. Kong Ming, what is your opinion?"

Most of Cao's soldiers were northern soldiers, who were not accustomed to water warfare, and many of them were sick, and their rustic atmosphere was very low. As soon as the two armies came into contact, Cao Cao suffered a small defeat, and Cao Cao was forced to retreat to the north bank of the Yangtze River, garrison Wulin, and confront the coalition forces across the river. In order to alleviate the turbulence of the ship from wind and waves, Cao Cao ordered craftsmen to connect the warships and lay wooden planks on them. In this way, the hull of the ship is much more stable, people can walk back and forth on it, and they can also ride horses on it, which is the so-called serial warship, and Cao Cao thought that this was a good way to cross the river.

However, the target of the serial warship was large and the movement was inconvenient, so someone reminded Cao Cao to guard against the Wu army's fire attack. Cao Cao thought: "Whoever attacks with fire will borrow the east wind, and now it is the middle of winter, and the northwest wind is blowing, how can there be a southeast wind? We are located on the northwest, and their soldiers are all on the south bank, if Zhou Yu uses fire, it is to burn his own soldiers, why should I be afraid?"

Zhou Yu also saw this problem, but due to the unfavorable weather conditions, he was so anxious that he vomited blood and was unconscious. Zhuge Liang used the words that the sky has unpredictable circumstances to point out the cause of Zhou Yu's illness, and wrote sixteen words: "If you want to break Cao Gong, it is advisable to attack with fire; ā€

Zhuge Liang's home lives in Nanyang, not far from Chibi, and his understanding of the weather and climate laws in the Chibi area is deeper and more specific than that of Cao Cao and Zhou Yu. Northwest winds are just climatic phenomena, and easterly winds can occur against the background of the climate, which is a weather phenomenon.

In military meteorology, in addition to the laws of the climate, it is necessary to consider the laws of the weather as a supplement. At that time, based on the analysis of weather and climate change, Zhuge Liang had accurately predicted the time of easterly winds based on his own experience.

Frontal cyclones, which are most abundant in spring and less frequent in autumn, are a deeply developed system of depression with low pressure in the center and high pressure around it. The air flows from the periphery to the center, rotating in an anticlockwise direction. So in the eastern part of the cyclone, the southeast wind blows, and in the western part of the cyclone, the northwest wind blows. Convergence updrafts prevail within a cyclone, which can cause large areas of rainfall, and when southeasterly winds blow continuously, it is often a sign that the weather is about to deteriorate.

When a place is affected by a moving, closed center of high pressure, the direction of the wind changes clockwise. As soon as the cold high pressure begins to move oversea, the southeasterly winds that prevail behind the high pressure will temporarily control the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Because the cold high pressure moves rapidly in the process of southward movement in winter, and the last cold air that follows the southward invasion soon arrives again, the southeast wind lasts for a short time and is often overlooked.

And Zhuge Liang, who is familiar with astronomy and geography, his family lives in Nanyang, not far from Chibi, and he grasped the signs before the appearance of this southeast wind, so he made an accurate forecast.

"After three days, the southeast wind will blow, and then the governor will send out his army. Zhuge Liang made a bold prediction to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was surprised: "If the southeast wind does not blow, then our army will not be defeated? ā€

Zhuge Liang said: "If the southeast wind blows before sending troops, Cao Cao must be prepared, and he will miss the opportunity." All that has been worked hard now will come to naught, and the god of victory will be gone by mistake. ā€

"I can't take any risks, I have to think carefully before I can make a decision. Zhou Yu said with a sad face.
