Zuo Ci said with a smile: "The summer solstice is a yin birth, and the winter solstice is a yang birth." Yin and yang alternate, there is yang in yin, and yin and yang are blended. ”

"It's so profound, I don't understand." Chen Wu shook his head and walked away.

After Chen Wu went back, he thought about it, and he suddenly thought that November 20 is the day of the winter solstice, according to this law, before the winter solstice, if the yin qi is strong, and the northwest wind is manifested along the Yangtze River, then after the winter solstice, the yang qi grows, and the wind direction will change, showing the southeast wind. Since today is the winter solstice, the southeast wind should be in the next few days.

Chen Wu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he thought of this, the southeast wind would come in two days, and it seemed that Po Cao was just around the corner.

Two days later, Chen Wu invited a group of officers such as Tai Shici and Lu Su to wait in the tent. Just waited for the southeast wind to rise, and then dispatched troops to attack, and reported to Han Hao at the same time. Huang Zhong had already prepared 20 fireboats, the bows of which were densely covered with big nails, the boats were loaded with reeds and dry firewood, poured fish oil, and covered them with sulfur, flame nitrate, and other fire-causing things, all covered with green cloth oil sheets. The bow of the ship is planted with a green dragon tooth flag, and the stern is tied to a boat. Wait under the tent, just wait for Chen Wu's order.

Gan Ning, Lu Ji and Zhang Yun drank alcohol every day in the water village, and did not let a single soldier go ashore. The surrounding area is full of Jiangdong military horses, and the guards are impassable, and Cao's meticulous work cannot cross the river. Just waiting for the order from the tent to come down, Chen Wu was sitting in the tent, and the spies came to report: "General Zhennan's ship is moored eighty-five miles away from the village, just waiting for the general's good news." ”

Chen Wu then asked Lu Su to tell all the officers and soldiers under his subordinates: "All departments have packed up ships, weapons, sails and other things. As soon as the order is issued, it will be disobeyed at all times. If there is a violation, it will be subject to military law. ”

All the soldiers will be ordered, one by one, ready to fight with Cao's army. On this day, look at the near night, the sky is clear, and the breeze does not move.

Chen Wu, Lu Su and others were all wondering if there was a southeast wind coming, Zhuge Liang was waiting with them with a feather fan on the side, Chen Wu glanced at him and said to him: "Kong Ming, I expect that the southeast wind will come tonight, you go back and make Brother Liu Huang ambush the army and horses at the retreat of Cao Bing, and my two families will capture Cao Cao alive in this battle!" ”

Nearly three o'clock, I suddenly heard the sound of the wind and the flags turning. When Chen Wu came out of the tent to look, the flag foot actually floated to the northwest, and suddenly the southeast wind rose.

On the way back, Zhuge Liang saw the southeast wind rising, and a boat on the river was heading towards him, hanging a big flag with the word "Zhao". It turned out that Liu Du was worried that Chen Wu would detain Zhuge Liang, so he sent Zhao Yun to answer, Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed back to Liu Du's military camp with Zhao Yun.

And said that Chen Wu summoned the generals to listen to the order, Chen Wu picked up a piece of general order and said: "Gan Ning, I order you to take Cao Jun's soldiers along the south bank, only play the Cao army's banner, and take the ground of Wulin directly. Leaving Zhang Yun alone under the account, I am useful. ”

Gan Ning took over the military order, and Chen Wu ordered again: "Tai Shici, you can lead 3,000 soldiers, go straight to the border of Huangzhou, cut off Cao Cao's troops to meet the army, and force Cao Bing to set fire to it; Just look at the red flag, it is General Zhennan who receives the soldiers. ”

These two teams have the farthest destination, so they set off first. Chen Wu ordered again: "Lu Meng, I order you to lead 3,000 soldiers to Wulin to meet Ganning and burn Cao Cao's zhaizhai." ”

"Zhu Ran, I order you to lead 3,000 soldiers, cut the head of the Yiling realm, just watch the fire in Wulin, and respond with soldiers."

"Gongsun Yang, I order you to lead 3,000 soldiers, take Hanyang directly, kill Cao Cao from Hanchuan, and watch the white flag respond."

"Liu Shao, I order you to lead 3,000 soldiers, fly the white flag, and go to Hanyang to meet Gongsun Yang."

"No!" The six teams of warships went their separate ways.

Chen Wu looked at the veteran general in the audience and said, "General Huang, you can arrange a fireboat to make someone gallop to Cao Cao, and come and surrender tonight." On one side, he dialed four warships and followed Huang Zhong's boat.

The first team led the general Zhu Huan, the second team led the general Zhou Yi, the third team led the general Jiang Qin, the fourth team led the general Guan Hai, the fourth team led 300 warships, and each of the four teams lined up 20 fireboats.

Chen Wuzi and Quan Rou supervised the battle on the ship, and Dong Ping led the Shadow Tiger Army as the escort, leaving only Lu Su, Lu Ji and the strategists to guard the village.

However, it was said that Han Hao asked the envoy to come with a military talisman, saying that Lu Xun had been ordered to be the vanguard and march directly to Qi and Huangdi, and Han Hao would respond by himself. Chen Wu also ordered people to release letter cannons in Xishan, and Nanping Mountain raised the flag. Each of them prepared to stop, just waiting for the big move at dusk.

Liu Du was waiting for Zhuge Liang to come back in the riverside barracks, and suddenly saw a team of ships arrive, and it turned out that Liu Qi had come to listen to the news. Liu Du asked Liu Qi to sit down in the wooden building, and said: "When the southeast wind rose for a long time, Zilong went to pick up Kong Ming, but I haven't seen it so far, and I am very worried. ”

Xiao Xiao Yao pointed to the port: "A sail warship is coming from Jiangdong, and it will be Zhuge Military Division." ”

Liu Du and Liu Qi went downstairs to greet them, and it didn't take long for the boat to arrive, and Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun landed ashore. Liu Du was overjoyed, and after greeting Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang said: "Liang mentioned some military horses and warships to the lord before, have they all been done?" ”

Liu Du nodded: "Pack it up for a long time, just wait for the military division to call." ”

Zhuge Liang sat down with Liu Du and Liu Qisheng, and Zhuge Liang said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong can take three thousand military horses, cross the river to take the Wulin path, and choose trees and reeds to ambush." After the fourth watch tonight, Cao Cao will inevitably run from that road. When his horse passed, he set fire in the middle of the fire. can capture more Cao soldiers. ”

Zhao Yun asked: "There are two roads in Wulin: one leads to Nanjun and the other takes Jingzhou. Don't know which way to go? ”

Zhuge Liang analyzed: "Nanjun is pressing, Cao Cao does not dare to go, he must come to Jingzhou, and then the army will go to Xuchang." ”

Zhao Yun led the strategy, and Zhuge Liang called Pan Feng again and said: "General Pan Feng can lead 3,000 soldiers to cross the river, cut off the road of Yiling, and go to Hugukou to ambush." Cao Cao did not dare to go to the South Yi Tomb, but he would look to the North Yi Tomb. When the rain passes, you will inevitably come to bury the pot and make rice. Just when the smoke started, he set a fire on the side of the mountain. Although Cao Cao couldn't be caught, General Pan's feats were not small. ”

Pan Feng led the plan to go, and Zhuge Liang asked Wen Ping, Xia Houlan, and Feng Xi to drive their warships around the river to capture the defeated army and seize the ordnance. The three of them took the plan and went.

Zhuge Liang got up and said to Liu Qi: "The place where Wuchang is looking at is the most important, so the prince will invite him back, lead the troops of his department, and Chen Yuankou, Cao Cao will be defeated and there will be those who will flee, and he will be captured, but he must not leave the city lightly." ”

Liu Qi said goodbye to Liu Du and Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang said to Liu Du: "The lord can garrison troops in Fankou, look at it from a high position, and sit and watch the success or failure tonight." ”

After Zhuge Liang finished planning, Li Ru sneered: "Kong Ming, why did you neglect the most important place? ”

Zhuge Liang stared at Li Ru and asked, "Wen You, tell me where this most important place is?" ”

Li Ru pointed to a dangerous place on the map and said, "Huarong Dao! ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Liang doesn't know that this pass is the place where Cao Cao must pass?" It's just that this time I'm afraid that Chen Wu may not be able to win a big victory, and Cao Cao may not be defeated. ”

Li Ru smiled and asked: "Fang Cai Kong Ming thought that tonight's battle would be won, why did he say this?" ”

Zhuge Liang's eyebrows tightened, and he looked north and said: "If one of the links in this series of plans is recognized by that person, all the previous efforts will be wasted!" ”

"The man?" Liu Du and Li Ru asked at the same time.

Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "Who else can it be, Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao." ”

Sure enough, Guo Jia's wisdom and strategy did not lose to Zhuge Liang, Liu Du thought to himself, but Li Ru asked with a smile: "Since you think that your strategy is not as good as Guo Jia, why do you still arrange it like this, wouldn't it be a waste of the lord?" ”

Zhuge Liang raised his head and groaned for a while, and said to Liu Du and Li Ru: "If Chen Wusheng wins, our army will benefit greatly from Cao's army." If Chen Wu is defeated, our army can withdraw safely. If the two families are equal, Guo Jia advises Cao Cao to take these important places first, and our army will defend according to the danger and wait for work, and it can also buy time for the Jiangdong soldiers to discuss Cao's plan again. ”

Liu Du clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Kong Ming is a foolproof strategy, so that no matter what the battle situation is." Our army will not be defeated. ”

Liu Du's eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang's personality is very cautious, and it is good to be cautious and cautious, why do you have to win? Let's be invincible.
