Chapter 147: The East Wind Rises
Xiaozhou turned around outside Cao Ying, just so plain and indifferent at dawn back to Xiakou Water Village, for there was no conflict, Liu Yi was very satisfied, there were only five people in the full fight, what time did it really happen, he didn't worry about escaping, as long as he didn't fall into a heavy siege, with the speed of the boat he built, there should be no other ship in this era to catch up, but if Cao Jun was led to Xiakou, it would be worth the loss. 35xs
Just looking at Zhang Fei's dissatisfied, Liu Yi had the urge to kick him off the boat, and secretly swore in his heart that if he had any action in the future, he would never go with Zhang Fei, and he would not go to death, this thing was too fond of causing trouble.
"Lord!" As soon as he landed on the shore, he saw Mi Zhu and Zhao Yun coming in a hurry, and bowed to Liu Bei and said, "The military advisor sent someone to deliver a letter last night. ”
"Oh?" When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly took the letter from Mi Zhu's hand and looked at it quickly.
"Big brother, what's the matter?" Seeing Liu Bei's solemn face, Zhang Fei hurriedly stepped up, wanting to take a look at the content of the letter.
"Kong Ming asked me to wait and get ready, three days later, when the east wind rises, I will prepare to pursue the Cao army!" Liu Bei closed the bamboo slips and said in a deep voice.
"Is there really an east wind?" Zhang Fei still didn't believe it.
"Just do it." Compared with Zhang Fei's questioning, Liu Bei had already believed Liu Yi's words, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why Zhuge Liang was so sure that he could break Cao Jun.
At the end, Liu Bei said to Zhao Yun again: "Zilong, I will write a letter later, you can take it to see Gongzi Qi, and ask him to prepare early." ”
"Cloud, obey!" Zhao Yun's face was solemn, and he bowed down and agreed.
It's going to take a big move.
Liu Yi had already expected that this day would come, and he was not too surprised, anyway, the next thing to fight and kill had little to do with him, so he was ready to go back to his residence, thinking in his heart that he would wait for this matter, go back to Mocheng to rest for a few days, and by the way, he studied the evolution of human beings with his wife, saying that he was a married man, and he lived a eunuch-like life during this time, which was really fed up.

"Bo Yuan walks slowly." Liu Bei saw that Liu Yi was going back, so he hurriedly stopped him.
“?” Liu Yi stopped and looked at Liu Bei blankly, is this still my business?
Liu Bei didn't know how to speak, handed the bamboo slip to Liu Yi and said, "Bo Yuan, see it yourself." ”
Liu Yi had already taken the bamboo slip to look at, looked at it for a moment, and was a little speechless: Zhuge Liang, your uncle!
The content is not much, and the meaning is also very clear, because of Liu Yi's help, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are much more sufficient than originally expected, reaching 8,000 people, so Zhuge Liang hopes that Liu Yi will take Liu Feng and Guan Ping to Mocheng to prepare, Liu Bei will provide 2,000 soldiers and horses here, and Mocheng will send another 1,000, a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses.
"Uncle Huang, it's okay for you to let me defend the city, this is to lead the troops to fight...... I'm a craftsman! Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei with a wry smile, what's the matter?
"Bei is also a craftsman." Liu Bei didn't worry about his initial identity to talk about things, in fact, this matter is not a secret, since his debut, I don't know how many times he has been said, Liu Bei is now taking it to blacken himself, and he feels quite humorous.
"Actually, this matter ......" Liu Yi planned to struggle a little more, looked at Liu Bei and said: "Let the two generals Liu Feng and Guan Ping go by themselves, and I can't help if I go." ”
"This is the meaning of the military advisor, after Bo Yuan comes back, you can go and ask him." Liu Bei kicked the problem directly to Zhuge Liang, anyway, you go first, and then the problem, come back to Zhuge Liang to solve it, don't tell me.
"Whoa!" Liu Yi sighed, what else can he say, Liu Bei is cheeky, it's useless for you to talk to anyone, Liu Yi can only agree, go pack up, beckon Liu Feng and Guan Ping to gather people, and prepare to go back to Mocheng with him first, in addition, Liu Bei asked Wei Yan to go back with Liu Yi.
……
"Why is the gentleman sullen all the way?" Because the time was a little rushed, the group set off with soldiers and horses that night, Liu Feng and Guan Ping each brought a thousand soldiers and horses, and Wei Yan brought the Mocheng soldiers as Liu Yi's personal soldiers to protect the side, at this moment Wei Yan was by Liu Yi's side, the spirit was inexplicably excited, fighting, for the generals, it was a good thing. Flash Dance
"I want to have fun, too." Liu Yi sat on the back of the dark clouds, he made a saddle and stirrups on the back of the horse, and the dark clouds were tamed by him himself, and now the horse riding is not as stumbling as at the beginning, looking at the front and shaking his head and sighing: "You say that I am a craftsman, why do you want to lead the army with you?" ”
Besides, that place in Changsha, if you remember correctly, Huang Zhong is there, is he level?
"Sir, the military advisor is giving you credit!" Wei Yan said with a smile.
"Oh?" Liu Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at Wei Yan and said, "What do you say?" ”
"The four counties of Jingnan, the number of troops is not much, and now Cao Cao is going south, and he is only occupying the south county, and he is not keen on the four counties of Jingnan, and even the officials have not been mobilized. Wei Yan said with a smile.
Wait to be slapped in the face.
Liu Yi showed a hehe expression, not to mention anything else, Changsha alone is not so easy, after going back, you have to bring your three hundred sword and shield soldiers, and then bring a talisman wood carving, don't be targeted by Huang Zhong's arrows at that time.
From Xiakou to Jingling, the road is not close, and there is a Han River in the middle, Liu Yi sent a Mocheng soldier to go over in advance, and asked Wei Yue to send a boat to pick it up, in fact, it is more convenient and faster to take the waterway, but unfortunately now is the time to use soldiers, Liu Bei is more useful there, and ten new warships Liu Yi means to hide them first, and wait for the critical moment, take the final word, so the ship is a little tight.
Anyway, in the end, Mocheng still has to make money, Liu Yi is going to get a bill, and when Liu Bei develops, he has to settle accounts with Liu Bei, and he can't do day work to help him.
Xiakou is more than 300 miles away from Jingling, even if it is a rapid march, three days is enough time, fortunately, Wei Yue immediately sent a fleet to pick up after getting the news, so that Liu Yi could meet Liu Yi before the time came.
"Bo Yuan, do you need my help in this battle?" Wei Yue greeted Liu Yi and said.
"Give me three hundred sword and shield soldiers, and make up for Wei Yan with a school of men, is it feasible?" Liu Yi was not polite and asked directly.
"Yes." Wei Yue nodded, during this time, Mocheng recruited soldiers again, and the soldiers and horses were replenished, and now the manpower is sufficient, but Liu Yi came and took most of them away, and then, if the enemy comes to attack, Mocheng's self-protection power is worrying.
"You go back first, and send the soldiers and horses directly to Sanjiangkou, where we will meet." Liu Yi said.
"You're not going back?" Wei Yue was stunned and said, "The young master has been missing a lot these days. ”
"It's too late, time is limited, and when this battle is over, I'll pick her up." Liu Yi shook his head.
Anyway, since he promised Liu Bei that he couldn't drop the chain at such a critical time, and the agreed time was running out, Liu Yi immediately asked Wei Yan to follow Wei Yue to drive back to Mocheng in a fast boat to lead troops and ships, and he took Liu Feng and Guan Ping straight to Sanjiangkou to wait.
Sanjiangkou is not far from Cao Jun's water village, in order to avoid being detected by Cao Jun, Liu Yi asked people to choose an inconspicuous deserted village, but left a team of people in Sanjiangkou to be responsible for connecting with Wei Yan, and at the same time sent scout sentries to guard in all directions, and no wind and grass can be let go.
On another day, Wei Yan returned with 800 Mocheng soldiers, and joined Liu Yi's men and horses at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and then came to meet Liu Yi.
"Sir, these ships are not warships, are they?" Liu Feng and Guan Ping looked at the sub-mother ships in front of them, although it was very convenient for the sub-mother ships to transport troops, but they were not warships, if they started a war, they would probably suffer a loss.
"In the past, Mocheng only built ships to facilitate the transportation of goods, and did not think about war, so he did not build warships." Liu Yi nodded and said: "Besides, my trip is not a water battle, with these boats, it is enough to send us to Changsha." ”
"When am I leaving?" Liu Feng said a little excitedly.
It has come to the time agreed by Zhuge Liang, on November 20, Liu Yi heard the words and said: "Get ready, tonight when the Cao camp fire starts, we will cross the river, and we can arrive in Changsha tomorrow, if you are lucky, you can see the wonders tonight, and order the soldiers of the three armies to be ready to set off at any time, and there must be no mistake." ”
A fire in the Battle of Chibi should not be small, but I don't know if I can see it.
"Whoa!" Liu Feng and Guan Ping hurriedly bowed and went to prepare.
Time passed little by little in the waiting of everyone, but the east wind did not appear, Liu Yi sat on his boat, silently carving the wood carving in his hand.
"Sir, will there really be an east wind?" Wei Yan asked with some suspicion at this moment.
"If there is, it will move, and if there is not, it will not move." Liu Yi raised his eyes and looked at the sky, Jiangdong must have planned like this, but from Chaisang to Cao Junshuizhai, it will take three hours, and it is best to wait until the fire burns out before leaving, so that when he arrives in Changsha, Changsha has already received the news, and the army's heart will be chaotic.
As he was talking, Liu Feng, who had been paying attention to the direction of the wind, suddenly shouted excitedly: "The direction of the wind has changed, sir, the direction of the wind has changed!" ”
Everyone hurriedly looked, but saw that the battle flag that was still fluttering in the southeast direction before was fluttering in the opposite direction at the moment, Guan Ping and Wei Yan looked at Liu Yi: "Sir! ”
"Wait for Cao Yinghuo to start!" Liu Yi closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said indifferently.
They didn't fight the first battle, and now that they are going, it would be bad if they were alerted by Cao Cao in advance.
Liu Feng frowned and looked at Liu Yi, but saw Liu Yi take out the order arrow that Liu Bei gave him: "From now on, everything is subject to my dispatch." ”
"Whoa!" Liu Feng had to obey orders, but there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
