Chapter 117: Strength "Poetry Analysis"
Lu Su asked Zhuge Liang to treat Zhou Yu, who had already gotten up to read books and review military affairs. Pen~Fun~ Ge www.biquge.info heard that Zhuge Liang was coming, so he quickly lay down on the bed again, pretending to cough weakly.
"Help me up." Zhou Yu shouted, and the servants on the left and right hurriedly helped him up and lay on his side on a high pillow.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang said: "I didn't expect the governor to be uneasy. ”
Zhou Yu sighed: "People have good and bad luck, how can they predict it? ”
Zhuge Liang answered: "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and it is even more difficult to know. ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he coughed again. Zhuge Liang said: "Dudu's illness is not smooth, as long as the qi is smooth, the illness will be cured." ”
Zhou Yu asked, "If I want to be smooth, what medicine should I take?" ”
Zhuge Liang said: "I have one side, and the discipline is smooth. With that, he told the people on the right and left to stand down and write his prescription on a piece of paper.
After he finished writing and showed it to Zhou Yu, he saw sixteen words written on it: "If you want to break Cao Gong, you should attack with fire, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." ”
After reading it, Zhou Yu knew that Zhuge Liang had fully understood his strategy. He asked, "Please advise." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "I once met a stranger who taught the Qimen Dunjia Heavenly Book, and he would call for wind and rain. If the governor wants the east wind, he can build a platform in Nanping Mountain, called the Seven Star Altar, which is nine zhang high and has three layers. If I do what I do on the stage, I can borrow a southeast gale for three days and three nights to help the governor use his troops. ”
"One day is enough." Zhou Yu was shocked in his heart, Zhuge Liang would still have this ability?
Zhuge Liang said: "On November 20th, Jiazi sacrificed to the wind, and on the 22nd, Bingyin rested. ”
After he finished speaking, Zhou Yu didn't bother to pretend to be sick. jumped up directly from the bed and found someone to arrange Zhuge Liang to borrow the wind.
Zhuge Liang didn't blame him, and he really went to the Seven Stars Altar every day. On time every day, Zhou Yu didn't see anything famous in the clouds. However, he had already asked Huang Gai to prepare, and asked Cai Zhong and Cai He to contact Cao Cao and prepare to surrender that day. Oil, sulfur, and the like are ready.
On Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao's mood has always been very good after the iron cable is connected to the ship, so that the soldiers can train the soldiers and attack on a certain day. Lu Xiaochuan wanted to suggest that Cao Cao march immediately, but Cao Cao never agreed.
Lu Xiaochuan himself is not unprepared, he has been letting people patrol the river to prevent Dongwu from sneaking up on the fire boat.
He found that as long as there was no strong wind, they could cope with even a few fireboats. Therefore, we must find a way to persuade Cao Cao to attack before the southeast wind blows, so that the odds of victory can be much greater.
The goal of Lu Xiaochuan's mission is to crack the fire attack plan and let Cao's army cross the red cliff. As for the situation in the future, he doesn't have to worry about it. With Cao Cao's current strength, as long as it is not burned, the Sun-Liu coalition army will definitely have a good feeling.
On November 15, the weather was exceptionally clear, cloudless and calm. Cao Cao was also in a good mood, and ordered the crowd to drink and have fun together on the big ship tonight.
Lu Xiaochuan is also ready, he must persuade Cao Cao to attack tonight, and the southeast wind will blow in a few days, and then the victory or defeat will be unpredictable.
At the beginning, Cao Cao laughed and drank with everyone, and the atmosphere was very cheerful. Lu Xiaochuan didn't say a word about the march, because he knew that Cao Cao had a characteristic, he was easy to be impulsive when he drank too much. It would be much better to persuade Cao Cao when he was impulsive.
"Then Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang don't know what to do, block the general trend of the world, and recover Jiangdong one day, and they will definitely share the glory and wealth with all the secretaries!" Cao Cao said heroically, and a group of courtiers hurriedly toasted.
When Cao Cao was drunk and drunk, he suddenly heard a crow crying and flew south. He asked, "Why do the crows cry at night?" ”
Someone said, "When the crow saw the moonlight, he thought it was dawning!" ”
"Hahahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, then took a lance and stood at the bow of the boat. He first sprinkled the wine into the river, drank three bowls in a row, and said: "Holding this lance alone, fighting in the south and the north, and conquering the world, it really lives up to the ambition of a great husband." Facing this scene tonight, I will compose a song, and you all have to be in harmony. ”
Lu Xiaochuan was speechless, he found that every time Cao Cao invited a guest to drink, he pretended to be forced alone, and then everyone shouted together: "Awesome......"
Cao Cao sang: "When you sing about wine, what is life? For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang. …… The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed. The mountains are not tired of being high, the sea is not tired of being deep, Zhou Gong spits and feeds, and the world returns to the heart. ”
After Cao Cao finished singing, everyone joined together, and Lu Xiaochuan also followed the troubled waters to fish. At this time, Liu Fu, the assassin of Yangzhou, stood up and said: "Just when the army is facing each other and the soldiers are using their lives, why does the prime minister say unlucky things?" ”
As soon as he stood up, Lu Xiaochuan remembered. In the original plot, in order to pretend to be forced, this idiot explained Cao Cao's poem, and was directly killed by Cao Cao on the spot. No, if it really happens like that, I can't persuade Cao Cao to march today. Lu Xiaochuan decided to take action.
Cao Cao asked angrily: "Which of my words is unlucky?" Liu Fu said: "'The moon and stars are scarce, the black magpie flies south, three turns around the tree, and there are no branches to rely on. It's unlucky. ”
Cao Cao was furious and was about to lose his temper, but at this time, Lu Xiaochuan suddenly laughed, and everyone could hear the exaggeration.
"What are you laughing at?" Cao Cao said angrily.
Lu Xiaochuan stood up and said, "I laugh at Liu Tingshi's lack of learning and skill, and I don't know the high meaning in the prime minister's poem." ”
He continued: "The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. In just eight words, he said the scene of the moonlight and the pleasant scenery tonight. ”
"And 'three turns around the tree, what branches can follow' is even more incredible. This sentence is ostensibly writing about the appearance of the black magpie flying and circling, but it is actually writing about the great ambition of the prime minister! ”
He said it extremely loudly, and everyone listened quietly, and even Cao Cao temporarily held back the unhappiness in his heart.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaochuan continued to analyze. He is a person who is close to a perfect score in the college entrance examination, and there is no pressure at all to analyze a wave of poems according to the standard answers.
"The black magpie that the prime minister said actually refers to those wavering talents in the world, they don't know who is the master, so they don't dare to defect. They don't know that the prime minister is wise and martial, and he will be the prime minister sooner or later, and they don't defect, in fact, they have no vision. ”
Lu Xiaochuan arched his hand at Cao Cao again and said: "Seeing the last sentence, I admire the prime minister even more. The prime minister was broad-minded, not only did he not blame them, but said, 'The mountains are not tired of being high, the sea is not tired of being deep, Zhou Gong is spitting and feeding, and the world is in the heart.' ’”
That is to say, no matter how many talents there are, how capable the talents, the prime minister will not be too much, even if he comes to defect, the prime minister will reuse it! Even if you can be like Zhou Gong, you are thirsty for talents, and you have to welcome talents when you interrupt your meals. If you can do this, I think everyone in the world will turn their hearts to the prime minister and regard you as a wise and martial monarch! ”
After Lu Xiaochuan finished answering the "poetry analysis", everyone on the big boat was stunned. Yu Ban and other generals only felt that Lu Xiaochuan was really talented, and he could comprehend Cao Cao's meaning so quickly.
And Xun You, Jia Xu and other advisers deeply admired Lu Xiaochuan in their hearts, and admired him for perfectly pretending to be a wave of force for Cao Cao. Although they also knew what Cao Cao meant, they were proud of their reputation and would not please Cao Cao like this.
Lu Xiaochuan is different, he said it in public, and he simply touted Cao Cao to the sky!
Moreover, Lu Xiaochuan himself is a capable person, he sees through the enemy's feints, and offers iron cables and boats, and he is already a wise man in the eyes of everyone. And this wise man still touted Cao Cao like this, Cao Cao's anger suddenly dissipated without a trace, but kept raising his head and laughing, unable to close his mouth.
"Those who know me, Renjia also!" Cao Cao laughed and said, "Come on, serve wine to Renjia!" ”
Lu Xiaochuan turned his head to Liu Fu and said, "Liu Tingshi, how can you understand the prime minister's mind and deep meaning?" What's unlucky? The prime minister's poem is auspicious, and when the world's celebrities hear about it, they will come to run. ”
"Don't you step back quickly, don't disturb the prime minister's interest!"
Liu Fu didn't dare to speak, how could he think so much just now? Seeing his face flushed and ashamed, Cao Cao felt very happy.
Sometimes, it is more refreshing to directly slap the face and pretend to be forced than to kill Liu Fu, Cao Cao shouted: "Don't get out yet!" ”
"Yes, the minister is retiring!" Liu Fu could only retreat.
Cao Cao had already drunk too much, but he was praised by Lu Xiaochuan again, and drank again, and kindly pulled Lu Xiaochuan to drink together. Lu Xiaochuan's stomach was full of wine, but fortunately, the wine in this period was rice wine, which was equivalent to the drink of later generations, and he didn't feel drunk after drinking a few big bowls.
Taking advantage of Cao Cao's excitement, Lu Xiaochuan said: "Prime Minister, in the past few days, I have been watching the sky at night and seeing the auspicious stars shining. This is God saying that if we want to attack, as long as we attack the Wu army within three days, we will definitely win a big victory! ”
Cao Cao was puzzled: "Is this really the case?" Do you also watch the sky? ”
Lu Xiaochuan nodded and said: "Prime Minister, Zhuge Kongming had strangers teach Qimen Dunjia Heavenly Book when he was young, so he is so powerful." Don't hide it from the prime minister, in fact, I was also taught the Qimen Dunjia Heavenly Book by the stranger. I've calculated that the last three days are the best days to attack. ”
In Cao Cao's heart, Lu Xiaochuan seemed to be on the same level as Zhuge Liang, and he believed in his words. It just so happened that at this time, Cao Cao's generals, Yu Ban, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others couldn't wait to attack Jiang Gong and make contributions.
So they also said together: "Prime Minister, if we attack Jiangdong, we are willing to be the vanguard!" ”
A few strategists still have some doubts, feeling that the navy has not been trained yet, so there is no need to worry. How could Lu Xiaochuan not be in a hurry, he simply said excitedly: "I heard that Zhou Yu and others were drinking and having fun in Jiangdong, and said that Prime Minister, you are afraid of the Jiangdong naval army, and you dare not cross the river, and you will withdraw the army yourself in a few months." ”
Cao Cao was already in the wine, but when he heard it, he was immediately angry, and said: "Zhou Yu'er, dare to despise Gu so much!" Lone wants to take away his Jiangdong, and let Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao make tea for Lone! Pass the order down, reorganize the armament, and send troops to attack Jiangdong the day after tomorrow! ”
"The prime minister is wise!" Lu Xiaochuan shouted.
