The sun is sinking in the west, the night is getting thicker, the light fog is shrouded, the moonlight is clear like water sprinkled on the field, a gust of wind blows from the south to the north, the leaves send out a flutter of leaves, Zhuge Liang calculated the direction of the wind and ordered: "Launch signal arrows." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The Black Eagle Guard ordered Zhang to take the bow and arrow, and with a "boom", a fiery arrow rose into the air and flew straight towards the direction of the Cao army's camp.

Zhuge Liang's clothes fluttered, the jade tree was in the wind, standing in the wind, under the wave of the feather fan, countless stars and dots of light like Zhuge Liang's hat slowly rose from the Jingzhou military camp, and the stars and the bright moon shining with cold light reflected each other, such as a hundred boats competing for the stream, you chase me, like a meteor crossing the sky, forming a sea of stars and the Milky Way flowing to the Cao army camp, it is spectacular and breathtaking.

The stars are shining, the moonlight is soft, Zhuge Liang is like an immortal, smiling, with a casual expression and elegant movements, Liu Chan is stupid.

"Sir, you are chic and free, if you command steadily, you can be described as a mountain up, and you are really a model of fighting!"

Liu Chan wasted no time in presenting a top hat.

"Dou'er, it's ridiculous." Zhuge Liang looked at the vast starry sky and smiled elegantly.

"Sir can make the lights fly without wings! What a man of God! Liu Chan looked envious, pretending not to understand and praised sincerely.

"It's a little trick, why bother." Zhuge Liang's eyes were deep and he smiled slightly.

In that era of extremely backward technology, this invention was already shocking. However, Zhuge Liang was so modest, Liu Chan couldn't help but secretly admire. I don't know how many other divine inventions are in his genius's clever head.

Liu Chan often played this kind of "Kong Ming lantern" in later generations, this kind of lamp is also called "sky lantern", and it was indeed invented by Zhuge Liang in history.

Later generations say that Zhuge Liang was besieged by Sima Yi in Pingyang, the whole army was helpless, Zhuge Liang came up with a clever plan, calculated the direction of the wind, ordered people to bring thousands of blank papers, paste into countless lanterns, and then use the gravitational pull of the smoke to take them into the air, a small lantern rose, and the soldiers in the camp shouted: "Mr. Zhuge is breaking through with a sky lantern!" ”。 Sima Yi actually believed it and led his troops to chase in the direction of the sky lantern, and Zhuge Liang was able to escape. Therefore, later generations called this kind of lantern "Kong Ming lantern".

According to legend, another theory is that the shape of this lantern resembles the hat worn by Zhuge Kongming, hence the name "Kongming lantern".

There is also a saying that Zhuge Liang ordered people to set off sky lanterns after each major battle to pay tribute to the soldiers of the three armies who died in battle, and at the same time to express his sorrow, he illuminated the road to heaven for the soldiers of the three armies who died in battle.

In later generations, in various more important festivals or occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, celebrations, festivals and tourist attractions, people will use Kong Ming lanterns for blessings, auspicious and wishing, lighting Kong Ming lanterns can not only bring blessings, but also create warm and romantic, is a very popular activity nowadays. Especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival, children will set off the Kong Ming lantern by themselves, write their wishes on the lantern, and rise to the sky with the sky lantern, praying for the realization of their beautiful wishes, full of innocent happiness and endless childlike fun.

Liu Chan didn't expect to be able to see it in advance today, and he was really excited in his heart.

"This lamp is called the sky lantern, and it was accidentally discovered and made by chance. After the defeat of the Nagasakapo army, we paid tribute to the soldiers of the three armies who died in battle, and when we burned paper money, a piece of cloth flew over, and when it just reached the top of the fire, the cloth suddenly flew upwards rapidly. I wondered how Nabu tried and tested, and every time it did, especially the greater the fire, the faster it soared, and the higher it altitude. Therefore, I knew that smoke, fire and wind could lift the cloth, so I made it. Zhuge Liang is not modest, a little self-satisfied.

I see, Liu Chan stuck out his tongue and kept complaining in his heart.

Ma Liang, Xiang Chong, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Zhuge Zhan and others looked at Zhuge Liang, who was personable and eloquent, and opened their mouths and respected them.

From this point of view, you should pay attention to observing things, and repeatedly compare, and you will definitely gain something. This lamp can be large or small, and the diameter of the large one is more than 2 meters. Tie the frame with bamboo strips, paste the flexible bamboo linen paper, and brush with tung oil. On the horizontal frame at the bottom of the lantern, a cloth covered with soybean oil is tied with iron wire. Before the release, light the cloth ball, and as soon as you let go, the sky lantern will float up, like a bright light flashing in the night sky. Looking at the surprised crowd, Zhuge Liang taught earnestly.

"Gangwu observed the direction of the wind from south to north, so he asked Sun Qian and them to set off the sky lanterns that had been prepared in advance, and wrote on the twelve characters of 'Cao thief will die, the Han family will prosper, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and disarm and not kill'. This move was intended to undermine Cao's confidence and disintegrate his fighting spirit. This is also Liu Chan's plan. Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan with blazing eyes, waved his feather fan and said approvingly.

"Sir, the shape of the Douguan Sky Lantern resembles the hat you wear, and there is a hole at the bottom of the lamp that glows brightly, so I thought it could be named Kong Ming Lantern." Liu Chan was inspired and convinced.

"Sir, what the little lord said is very true, and Liang agrees with it very much. Mr. has no work of the ancients, and it will be praised by future generations. Ma Liang bowed.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan again, smiled but did not answer, and did not say anything.

About a quarter of an hour later, a lot of Kong Ming lanterns have floated to the sky above the Cao army camp, and suddenly there was a burst of noise, and the whole camp was completely chaotic into a pot of porridge.

With a cry of "Shoot fast!" Shoot fast!" Hurriedly reprimanded, and the sound of the long arrow breaking through the air of "boom, boom, boom" floated down the wind, endlessly.

The night is deep and dewy, the twilight is vast, the insects are chirping, the frogs are chirping, and the cool breeze is blowing.

"Hahahaha, Cao Jun is destined to have another sleepless night tonight!" Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan, Ma Liang and others looked at each other and smiled, and leisurely beat their horses down the mountain and returned to the camp.

After separating from Xiahou Juan, Xiahou Yuan was extremely depressed, and his mood was terrible, on the one hand, he was flesh and blood, and on the other hand, he was a major military event, and the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, which was really difficult for him to give up.

In the end, although he took national affairs as the most important thing and resolutely cut off his robe and relatives, his heart was constantly dripping blood, and the pain was like a knife.

All day long, Xiahou Yuan was unable to sleep and eat, he didn't think about tea and food, he sat in a daze, his mind was full of the shadow of his younger brother and niece Xiahou Juan, Xiahou Heng, Xiahou Ba, and Xiahou said that the three of them surrounded his father's knees, listening to Xiahou Yuan reminiscing about the past of his uncle and sister when they were children.

"Report, Governor Xiahou, Xuchang has an urgent order." The supervising army Zhao Yan was out of breath and ran to report in small steps.

"Ah, Boran! What is the emergency military situation? It's hard work, drink a glass of water and talk slowly. Xiahou Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and greeted warmly, which was completely different from his attitude towards others.

This Zhao Yan is not a simple character, he can be regarded as a famous general of Cao Jun, and he is deeply favored by Cao Cao.

Therefore, although Xiahou Yuan was Cao Cao's brother and the governor of the capital, he was particularly polite to him.

Zhao Yan is a famous person in Yingchuan, and the word is Boran. Since childhood, he has been familiar with the history of the scriptures, and has developed a keen ability to observe and analyze and a shrewd and sophisticated philosophy of life. The weak crown of the year, with a reputation for talent in the township. and Yang Zhai Xinbi, Xu Chen Qun, Dingling Du attack and called Yingchuan four scholars.

In order to avoid the war, Zhao Yan moved his family to Jingzhou to live in the guest house, and met fellow villagers Du Xi and Fanqin at first sight, and became friends with each other. The three of them were deeply courteous by Liu Biao, but Zhao Yan thought that Liu Biao was short-sighted, but it was difficult to achieve great things.

Cao Cao welcomed the Han Dynasty to offer the emperor in Xuchang, issued the "meritocracy order", after the implementation of the Tuntian system, Zhao Yan thought that Cao Cao "should be destined for the world, will be able to help China", so he and Du Xi, Fanqin and others together with the family to return to the north. After defecting to Cao Cao, he successively served as the commander of Langling County, the subordinate of Sikong Mansion, the main Bo, and the governor of the army, which was very important to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's three generals, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, and Yu Ban, were stationed in Changshe, Yangzhai, and Yingyin, respectively, and were unconvinced by each other's high positions, so that they often quarreled and friction. Cao Cao appointed Zhao Yan as the commander of the three armies of Zhang Liao, Lejin, and Yu Ban, and Zhao Yan lived up to expectations and worked hard to eliminate the grievances between the three generals.

Because Zhao Yan governed the army well, he was often appointed as the governor of the army from then on, and led and coordinated Cao Cao's senior generals to go out on expeditions. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao went south to crusade against Jiangnan, and ordered Zhao Yan to supervise the seven armies of Yu Ban, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Zhu Ling, Li Dian, Lu Zhao, and Feng Kai.

This time, Cao Cao asked Zhao Yan to serve as the post of the military supervisor (equivalent to the political commissar of the modern army group army), second only to Xiahou Yuan, and above the deputy governor Yu Ban, which can be described as a high authority, which shows that Cao Cao is extremely important to him. Cao Cao intended to balance, coordinate, and help Xiahou Yuan to advance the war more steadily and ensure victory.

"Beat the drums and gather the generals, and raise the account." After listening to Xu Du's urgent order conveyed by Zhao Yan, Xiahou Yuan's spirit was shocked, his face turned pale, he put down his children's affection, and quickly ordered.
