Thirty miles south of the city of Huangkou, there is a big mountain that stretches for dozens of miles - Kuanglu Mountain, because it is bordered by the Yangtze River in the north and Pengli Lake in the east, the water vapor of the rivers and lakes rises and is not easy to diffuse, and it becomes a cloud and mist according to the mountain trend, so that the clouds and mist of Kuanglu Mountain are ever-changing, mysterious and unpredictable.

At this time, Kuanglu Mountain, that is, the Lushan of later generations, and Kuanglu Mountain is a famous mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many famous temples since the Jin Dynasty, Xilin Temple and Xilin Temple under the foot of the mountain in the north foothills, it is one of the best.

Xilin Temple was built in the first year of the Jin Dynasty, at the beginning of a grass house when the Shamen Zhu Tan knotted hermitage, after the death of its disciple Hui Yong inherited the teacher's business. In the second year of the Jin Dynasty, Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Tao Fan built a temple for it and named it Xilin Temple.

In the eighth year of Taiyuan Dynasty, the monk Huiyuan went to Luofu Mountain in Lingnan from Jingzhou, came to Kuanglu Mountain when passing through Jiangzhou, and prepared to go to Luofu Mountain in Guangdong with Master Huiyong to dive and cultivate, and saw that the peaks and forests of Kuanglu Mountain were idle and beautiful, which was the benefit of practice, that is, settled in Xilin Temple.

In the ninth year of Taiyuan Dynasty, Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Huan Yi accepted the suggestion of Master Huiyong, started the temple in the east of Xilin Temple, because it was located in the east of Xilin, it was named Donglin Temple, Huiyong, Huiyuan two high monks in Xilin Temple, Donglin Temple led the people to cultivate, and the holy land of Buddhism has continued to this day.

At this time, Xilin Temple, Donglin Temple, the sound of chanting is endless, the newly appointed Jiangzhou Thorn History, Yongjia King Chen Yan, not long ago successively went to Xilin Temple, Donglin Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha to make a wish, pray for the Buddha to bless Chen Guotai and the people, and now the monks of the two temples are chanting for Chen Shizhu to repay the vows.

Buddhism is pure, not involved in the love and hatred of the world, but praying for the people of Chen is not a broken vow, the sound of chanting floats into the sky through the mountains and forests, and when it crosses the peak, it suddenly turns around, and floats to the mouth north of Kuanglu Mountain.

On the misty river, west of Sangluzhou, the warships of the Zhou army that went down the river from Caishan took advantage of the advantages of the upper reaches to launch a strong ship assault, and the pointed ships as the vanguard split the Chen army's ship formation like an axe, and directly sank many enemy ships with iron ramming angles, but then fell into the siege of the Chen army's warships.

The iron-locked Chen army's vehicles and ships stopped the almost unstoppable Zhou army like a tripping horse, and countless sailors with bare shoulders and arms struggled to climb onto the enemy ship and start a bloody white-knuckle battle regardless of the arrows.

The iron fell down, and the skin eroded on its touch, and as the two sides shot arrows, they threw quicklime at each other, and the powder boiled and fell on the deck like hoarfrost, and then was stained red by the splatters of blood.

In the piercing sound of wood breaking, ships continue to sink, in the sound of fighting in the sky, lives continue to disappear, the clap of the warships on both sides continues to rise and fall, stirring up bursts of blood mist, and the follow-up warships also continue to join the battle.

The warships of the two sides gathered more and more, fought on the river, and the drums were noisy and endless, and they reached the south bank of the city of Huangkou, and Chen Yan, the king of Jiangzhou and Yongjia, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, saw it in his eyes and was anxious.

Although he had never fought a water battle, he always felt that the battle situation was unfavorable to his side: although the two sides were holding each other, the Zhou army was upstream, and the longer the time dragged on, the more beneficial it would be.

Chen's army is located downstream, and he has to rely on the car and ship to resist the opponent to not give an inch, and sooner or later people will be exhausted when they step on the water wheel, so if the battle situation continues like this, sooner or later they will not be able to hold on.

As soon as the navy was defeated, according to the situation of the battle of Caishan, the Zhou army would inevitably take advantage of the situation to attack Sangluozhou, and when Sangluozhou fell, the remnants of Chen's navy could not gain a foothold and could only flee downstream, and the waterway connection between Huangkou and Jiankang would be cut off.

There is no water threat, the Zhou naval army will break through the lake mouth and enter Pengli Lake like last time, but this time the Zhou army is attacking on land and water at the same time, and there must be many soldiers and horses landing, so that not only Huangkou, but also Yuzhang on the south side of Pengli Lake is also dangerous.

Yuzhang lost, the Zhou army attacked all the way to the east, you can take the official road into the boundary of Dongyang County of Dongyangzhou, even with the ability to attack Huiji County, once Dongyangzhou is lost, Yangzhou to the north including Jiankang was copied back road, once the Zhou army of Huainan crossed the river, Jiankang will be attacked by the enemy.

If the Zhou army marched south from Yuzhang, it could attack Nankang and then enter Lingnan, and if it could break through the Ancheng trail from Yuzhang to the west and enter Xiangzhou in the west, the soldiers would directly aim at Xiangzhou Prefecture to govern Changsha, and then the overall erosion would be irreparable, and Chen Yan shuddered at the thought of this terrible consequence.

Whether it is by water or land, Jiangzhou is an important barrier in the downstream Jiangnan region, so we must not lose it, and the key point is that the water war that is being waged now cannot be lost.

Will it lose? It is possible, but not without a chance to turn the tide of the war, and in order to do it, in addition to the soldiers' lives, there is also one condition: the direction of the wind.

Chen Yan is not very familiar with the climate of Jiangzhou when he first arrives, but he probably knows that in spring and summer, the wind direction in Jiangzhou is mainly southeast wind, and in autumn and winter, it is mainly northwest or north wind.

Of course, it is common sense that the north wind blows in autumn and winter, but there are some exceptions to this common sense on the river near Jiangzhou's Huangkou: in autumn and winter, there will be occasional southeast winds.

Why is this happening? The locals can't tell, but Chen Yan seems to have gained something in his heart since he went to Kuanglu Mountain: Kuanglu Mountain is located south of Huangkou, and its mountain trend is northeast-southwest, like a wall blocking the south of Huangkou.

In autumn and winter, when the northwest wind blows to Kuanglu Mountain, which is like a wall, there is a very small possibility that it will turn into a southeast wind and turn to the river near Huangkou not far away.

Of course, this situation lasted for a short time, so the southeast wind near Huangkou in autumn and winter came inexplicably, and disappeared inexplicably, this is the answer that Chen Yan figured out himself.

Regardless of whether this answer is correct or not, there are occasional southeast winds in the autumn and winter when northwest winds are frequent in the Huangkou area, although the occurrence time is irregular, and the duration is only a little time, but this is a turning point for the generals who are proficient in naval operations.

For hundreds of years, the inferior side in the water war seized the favorable opportunity of the sudden change of wind direction, and released fireships to turn defeat into victory.

So even if your own navy is slightly inferior now, as long as you wait until the wind direction suddenly changes...

Thinking of this, Chen Yan looked at the flag on the side, there was no wind at this time, so there was no landscape of the flag waving, but Chen Yan felt that this was a good sign: the northwest wind that had been blowing for several days suddenly stopped today.

This must be a precursor to a change in the direction of the wind, Chen Yan, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, believed that he went to the Xilin Temple and Donglin Temple in Kuanglu Mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha and make a wish, just to pray for the Buddha to protect Chen Guo to tide over the difficulties, and he felt that the Buddha would definitely manifest himself.

God bless Da Chen, God bless Da Chen, there will definitely be a southeast wind!

Unconsciously, he felt a wind blowing, and looked up suddenly, but saw that the flag did not move, and just when he thought that he was suspicious, suddenly the southeast wind blew and ruffled everyone's hair.

"The wind is blowing! The wind is blowing! ”

Chen Yan was so excited that he shouted loudly, regardless of the loss of his identity in this move, and regardless of the fact that this place was too far away from the heart of the river, his own navy could not hear his shout at all, and shouted loudly in desperation: "The wind is rising!" ”

The attendants, as well as the generals, officials, and soldiers, all raised their arms excitedly and shouted, trying to gather the strength of everyone to spread the good news to the warships on the river several miles away, reminding the naval generals to seize the opportunity.

Everyone shouted as if they were enchanted for an unknown amount of time, and vaguely saw a light light in the formation of their own ships, and just when they thought that their ships were ignited by the enemy, they saw that the fire was spreading to the west.

It was the Chen army, ignoring the danger of affecting their own warships on the front line, and released fireboats to ignite the Zhou warships, taking advantage of the southeast wind, the flames were flying for a while, the wind was fierce, and the smoke quickly spread in the Zhou army's ship array.

"The fire is done! The fire attack is done! ”

The city resounded with a tidal wave of cheers, and the people who witnessed the earth-shattering reversal cheered, and Chen Yan, the king of Yongjia, cried with joy, and after kneeling on the ground, he waved his arms and raised his arms to the sky and shouted: "God bless Da Chen, God bless Da Chen!" ”
