Chapter 383: The East Wind That Can't Be Borrowed
Zhang Nan then shouted and hurried over, and the Gongsun Yang boat came out from the slash. Zhang Nan stood at the bow of the boat with a spear, and his bows and arrows were fired indiscriminately on both sides. Gongsun Yang's subordinate shield soldiers blocked it, and when the two ships were seven or eight feet apart, Gongsun Yang immediately jumped and jumped straight onto Zhang Nan's boat.
Gongsun Yang waved the pair of drum Weng Jin hammers, only to see the hammer shadow flashing, Zhang Nan hurriedly resisted with a gun. Gongsun Yang's right hand hammer fell, Zhang Nan was directly smashed into the water, and Gongsun Yang immediately killed Cao Bing who was driving a small boat.
Cao Bing saw that Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan had both been killed, so he rowed back quickly. Jiang Qin and Gongsun Yang urged the boat to chase after them, and when they reached the middle of the river, they happened to meet the small boats led by Cai Zhong and Cai He. The two sides set up boats to fight.
Chen Wu and his generals stood on the top of the mountain, and saw the warships on the surface of the Jiangbei River in the distance, lined up on the river, and the flags and bands were in order. Looking back, Cai Zhong and Cai He held each other with Jiang Qin and Gongsun Yang, Jiang Qin and Gongsun Yang led the army to attack hard, Cai Zhong and Cai He couldn't resist the enemy, so they returned to the ship and fled.
Jiang Qin and Gongsun Yang hurriedly urged the boat to catch up. Chen Wu was afraid that the two of them would go deep into the Cao army's stronghold, so he made a move of the white flag and ordered everyone to withdraw their troops. Jiang Qin and Gongsun Yang had no choice but to wave back.
Chen Wu saw the Cao army warship across the river on the top of the mountain, and sailed straight into the water village. Chen Wu turned back to the generals and said: "The Jiangbei warship is like the secret of reeds, and Cao Cao is resourceful, what should be used to break it?" ”
Before everyone had time to talk about countermeasures, Chen Wu suddenly saw in the telescope that the central yellow flag in Cao Junzhai was broken by the wind and floated into the river. Lu Su smiled and said, "This bad omen is also! ”
When Chen Wu and the generals were watching, there was a sudden strong wind, and the waves in the river crashed on the shore. A gust of wind blew the horns of the flag and swept across Chen Wu's face. Chen Wu suddenly remembered one thing, the foreplay of burning Chibi was enough, but he didn't know when the southeast wind would come!
After Chen Wu went back, he didn't think about it, did he really want Zhuge Liang to "borrow the east wind"? Is Zhuge Liang so godly, let's try it, anyway, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji had enough Taoist skills for him and Han Xuanyu before.
Chen Wu returned to the tent and sighed for a long time, and Lu Su asked, "Why did the general sigh?" ”
Chen Wu said to Lu Su: "Zijing, the big war is coming, but I am sick. ”
"What disease does Zilie suffer from? It can be reported to General Zhennan, and Dr. Zhang was quickly sent to treat the general. Lu Su hurriedly said.
Chen Wu waved his hand: "This disease needs Kong Ming to be treated, please ask Zijing to invite Kong Ming to come for me." ”
Lu Su didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to invite Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang entered the tent and saw Chen Wu with a sad face, and he already knew it in his heart. Zhuge Liang asked, "What disease does the general suffer from that must be cured by Liang?" ”
Chen Wu saw Zhuge Liang's calm expression, and said angrily: "Since Kong Ming knows about my illness, why do you ask?" ”
Zhuge Liang looked at the attendants on the left and right, Chen Wu understood, and retreated left and right. Zhuge Liang asked for a pen and paper and wrote: If you want to break Cao Gong, it is advisable to attack with fire; Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Chen Wu then smiled and said, "Mr. knows the source of my disease, what medicine will be used to treat it?" When things are in danger, hope will give advice. ”
Zhuge Liang looked embarrassed and sighed: "In the middle of winter this year, there is only a northwest wind, where can I get this southeast wind." I don't know! ”
Chen Wu knocked on the side and asked, "Could it be that Mr. has never met a stranger to teach Dao techniques such as Qimen Dunjia Heavenly Book and borrow this southeast wind?" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The general said that he was joking, the wind and rain are determined by the sky, how can Liang be able to change the time?" ”
"You really won't?" Chen Wu asked again and again.
Zhuge Liang shook his head again and again, he didn't expect Chen Wu to let him "borrow" the southeast wind, didn't he really have wishful thinking?
Chen Wu sighed helplessly, it seemed that he had mistaken Zhuge Liang for the wise demon in the romance. If there is no southeast wind, how did Zhou Yu burn Chibi in history? Is there no such thing as burning Chibi at all?
Chen Wu couldn't figure it out, and after Zhuge Liang said goodbye, Lu Meng, Jiang Qin and others came to visit. Lu Meng asked: "When watching the enemy situation of Cao's army on the mountain today, the general saw that the wind blew the flagpole and suddenly caused illness, could it be that he was looking forward to the southeast wind?" ”
"As Ziming said, I wonder if there is a southeast wind in the middle of winter?" Chen Wuxin said that these two people have been supervising and training sailors on the Yangtze River all year round, and they must know the climate on the river.
Lu Meng pondered for a while and said: "The general's expectation is good, the winter solstice is a sunny day, and when it comes and goes, there is occasionally a southeast wind. I don't know what the general asked the southeast wind to do? ”
Chen Wu immediately rejoiced: "Oh, is there really a southeast wind? On what day? ”
"Heaven is a certainty, and I don't know it!" Lu Meng said regretfully.
Chen Wu sighed again, and Jiang Qin said: "General, although there is an occasional southeast wind in the middle of winter, the wind is not long or big!" ”
Another bucket of cold water was splashed on Chen Wu's heart, and this big winter made him feel cold in his heart. Chen Wu sighed, could it be that his carefully planned fire attack was about to come to naught? If it was Han Xuan, what would he do?
Chen Wu hoped that he could be as scheming as Han Xuan, and he substituted himself into Han Xuan's thinking to think. First of all, you have to know when the southeast wind will blow, how strong the wind is, and whether Huang Zhong's bitter meat plan has succeeded. But he didn't have the ability to predict the future, and there was no weather forecast at this time, how did he know this.
Wow, something suddenly flashed in Chen Wu's mind, "Ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, ask Chen Wu ...... if you don't decide on foreign affairs" What is the second half of the sentence?
"Sexual ...... Zuo Ci?! Chen Wuyi clapped his hands, yes, Zuo Ci. Such a living immortal is here, take advantage of the east wind to find him!
I thought it was a joke, but I reminded Chen Wu at the critical moment. It's no wonder that he ignored Zuo Ci, he had so many people under him, and Zuo Ci didn't interfere in the war between their two armies, so Chen Wu didn't take Zuo Ci to heart.
But this is the time of survival, Chen Wu must ask this Zuo Ci, so he ordered someone to go to Danyang to find Zuo Ci in the starry night. After waiting for a long time, Chen Wu couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw that the people he sent had not yet invited Zuo Ci.
Chen Wu was holding hot tea and drinking it, and the guards outside the door came in to report and said: "The person who was sent to Shu to buy brocade by the Marquis of Chu in the past has returned, and he said that he wants to see the general." ”
"This kind of trivial matter is also to be reported?" Chen Wu said angrily.
The guard said: "The man said that the Marquis of Chu is very fond of this batch of brocades, and the prophet said that if he does not see the Marquis of Chu, he must personally hand it over to the general." ”
Chen Wu's heart warmed, Han Xuan bought brocade for himself, did he want to make a robe for himself?
Chen Wu then waved his hand and asked the guard to lead the man in, and the man came in and bowed to Chen Wu, saying: "On March 6 last year, I met an old man with eyes in the shop in Shudi, and he conveyed the order of the Marquis of Chu to me, and asked me to buy two more ends. ”
Chen Wu didn't pay attention to it, and only let the man take down the brocade first, and as soon as the man came out of the big tent, he exclaimed, "It's you!" I saw you in Shu at the beginning, why are you here now? ”
The man's face was shocked, Chen Wu rushed out when he heard the sound and saw that there was an old man in a scarf and a ragged shirt standing in front of him, who else could it be if it wasn't Zuo Ci! Zuo Ci saw Chen Wu and smiled: "Chen Wu, are you looking for me?" ”
"You got it?" Chen Wu was overjoyed, if Zuo Ci was willing to help, then Cao Cao would have a show.
Chen Wu invited Zuo Ci into the tent, ordered someone to serve good wine and meat, Zuo Ci said to Chen Wu after eating and drinking: "Poor Dao does not participate in the affairs of the world, and this time it is worth the battle between the two armies, I can't give you advice." ”
"I have made up my mind, and I only owe the east wind. Zuo Immortal Master has immortal arts, so he can ask for the southeast wind for me! Chen Wu hurriedly said.
"No, no. If I summon the southeast wind for you, the lives of 200,000 people here will not be saved. Poor Dao commits murder, not only does it damage Yangshou, but it is also difficult to become a great road. Zuo Ci hurriedly excused himself and said.
Chen Wu begged again and again, but Zuo Ci kept saying no, and walked out of the big tent as he spoke, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
It was a cold day, and Chen Wu was wandering alone in the barracks when a familiar voice suddenly stopped him.
"Chen Wu, this bowl of dumplings made by Zhang Zhongjing is extremely delicious, take a bite?" Zuo Ci sat on a chariot and said to Chen Wu while eating dumplings.
"I'm not in the mood to eat dumplings, you can eat them yourself." Chen Wu said angrily, since Zuo Ci was unwilling to help him, he couldn't help it.
Zuo Ci jumped in front of him in a blink of an eye and said, "Do you know what day it is?" ”
"The 20th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar...... Eh, it should be the winter solstice, right? Chen Wu asked rhetorically.
"Have you forgotten the custom of the winter solstice that you and Han Xuan set?" Zuo Ci asked with a smile.
Chen Wu looked at the dumplings in Zuo Ci's bowl and said, "Eat dumplings on the winter solstice, what?" Alas...... I'm not saying it, I don't have an appetite right now. ”
