Chapter 295: The Great War is Imminent

People miss, horses have messy hooves, He Qi, who has always regarded himself very highly, didn't expect that he would also fall into the gutter. For the sake of the lives of the family, He Qi could only obey Lu Meng's orders, change the truth to the deception, and act as an enemy of the imperial court.

But Lu Meng and Zhuge Liang would never have dreamed that Liu Xie didn't take the truth of He Qi's surrender to heart at all. It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. If He Qi would have gotten along with Liu Xie when he had just gotten rid of Dong Zhuo, then today's He Qi's achievements would not be as good as Zhao Yun's, and I am afraid they would not be much worse. But now it is different, except for Sun and Liu, Liu Xie has no opponents on the surface, and the world is about to be reunified.

It is true that He Qi's submission can alleviate Liu Xie's casualties, but just in case, Liu Xie simply did not consider the authenticity of He Qi's return to Shun, and the false one prevailed. Regardless of whether He Qi was sincerely obedient or ordered to surrender by fraud, Liu Xie was treated as a fraud. Anyway, even if Sun Liu is killed, Liu Xie will not allow a private armed force like He Jiajun to exist that only obeys personal orders.

Sooner or later, he and He Qi will fall out because of this matter, so simply advance the time of the fallout, and wait for some money to compensate He Qi after the war, in short, Liu Xie will not allow He Qi to continue to have the confidence to argue with his master as he is now.

Lu Meng and Zhuge Liang didn't know Liu Xie's thoughts, in their opinion, He Qi had initially won Liu Xie's trust by sending his son across the river before, and Liu Xie had no reason to be suspicious about the agreed time to cross the river. According to their personal inference, on the third day of the next month, the moon is dark and the wind is high, which is a good time to fight with the Han army.

Zhuge Liang will not be able to call the wind and rain, don't look at the romance that Zhuge Liang borrowed the southeast wind to help Zhou Yuhuo attack Cao Jun, but that is just an artistic processing technique, it can't be true. However, although Zhuge Liang does not know magic skills, he is a master who is proficient in geography and climate, according to the changes in the climate of the river, Zhuge Liang calculated that there will be a southeast wind blowing one day, but Zhou Yu did not know that Zhuge Liang had this ability, so after the southeast wind blew, he would be shocked and regard Zhuge Liang as a god.

At this time, it has entered a harsh winter, even if it is windy, it is mostly a northwest wind, according to Zhuge Liang's thoughts, Liu Xie and his subordinates would not expect that there would be a southeast wind on the river. But Liu Xie had long prevented Sun Liu from breaking the enemy with the help of water and fire. The water attack is good and defensive, it is the dry period at this time, and the upper reaches of the river have long been occupied by Liu Xie's people, which can be regarded as completely breaking Sun Liu's idea of wanting water attack.

Fire attack became Sun Liu's last choice. If you can't fight hard, there is no possibility of winning if you don't take advantage of the situation. But Liu Xie already has precautions, and it is difficult to say whether Sun Liu's fire attack can work.

He Jing came to the Han army camp again, of course he didn't dare to tell Liu Xie the truth, the lives of the young family were in the thoughts of others, how dare He Jing play any tricks, so he had to follow Zhuge Liangjiao's request Liu Xie and their father and son to lead the troops to come at night on the third day of the next month.

Liu Xie was noncommittal about this, whether He Qi came or not was not the point, whether you really surrendered or faked, the treatment was the same. Liu Xie is concerned about the third day of the next lunar month, what kind of weather it is. In order to confirm this matter, Liu Xie immediately ordered someone to invite the old fishermen who had been found from nearby some time ago into the big tent, and asked them if they could guess what the weather would be on the Sanjiang River at the beginning of next month.

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. Although the elderly are old and frail, they are too old to be used, but their rich experience and experience are precious assets that cannot be exchanged for money. Zhuge Liang can rely on his wisdom to calculate what weather will be on the river on the third day of the next lunar month, and the old man who was found by Liu Xie, and the experience of begging for life by the river all the year round allows them to give Liu Xie the answer he wants without thinking about it.

On the third day of the next month, the moon will be dark and windy, and there will be a strong southeast wind.

"Uncle, are you wrong? If it is freezing today, even if it is windy, it will blow the northwest wind, how can there be a southeast wind. Fa Zheng asked the old man.

"This lord, this is not true, the land is different from the river, and the wind blowing is also different. The little old man has lived by the river for most of his life, and he can use his head to assure the adults that at this time of year, the southeast wind will blow on the river. ”

"Okay, filial piety, whether the southeast wind will blow on the river, wait until the third day of the next month to find out. Come here, take these old men down to rest, and don't slack off in serving. Liu Xie stopped Fa Zheng, who wanted to continue to ask questions, and instructed the outside of the tent.

When a few old men were invited out of the big tent, Liu Xie's face turned pale, and he looked around at the people in the tent: "Everyone, He Qi intends to come to vote on the third day of the first month of next month, but I think he will come here to surrender by fraud." ”

"Why is the Holy One so sure?" Tai Shi Ci asked.

"Southeasterly wind."

"Just because of that?"

"That's right, because of this. Ladies and gentlemen, now that I am strong and weak, if Sun Liu defeats me, the only way to take advantage of the situation is to take advantage of it. And on this riverside, the only thing that can be borrowed by Sun Liu is water and fire. At this time, the upper reaches have been occupied by our army, and all Sun Liu can borrow is the fire. If the northwest wind blows on the river, then Sun Liu can only burn themselves, but once the southeast wind rises, even if our army has the heart to deal with it, it will not be able to arrange it in time. He Qi chose to vote on the night when the southeast wind was strong on the third day of the next month, whether he was intentional or unintentional, we must not be unguarded. ”

“…… How are you going to deal with it? Lu Xun asked.

"Didn't you always guess when our army would go to war with Sun Liu before? I intend to officially start a war with Sun Liu on the third day of the next month, what do you think? ”

"Holy Lord, our army is ready for war and can go to war at any time, but why did you choose that day?" Lu Xun asked again, and this question also asked the voices of many people.

Liu Xie smiled slightly, "Nanzhou and Beima, I have to admit that Sun Liu's navy is still quite difficult to deal with, although at the moment we are absolutely sure to defeat the Jiangdong navy in one fell swoop, but that is under the premise that Sun Liu's navy will not retreat." Once Sun Liu's army scatters and flees, the future clean-up will be enough to give us a headache. Choosing He Qi to surrender on that day to start the war, in my opinion, He Qi is a fraudulent surrender, since it is a fraudulent surrender, then Sun Liu's naval army will not turn a blind eye, once He Qi successfully surrenders by fraud, Sun Liu will have a backhand to follow. I want to solve Sun Liu Shuijun in one fell swoop, instead of playing a game of hide and seek with Sun Liu Shuijun in the future. ”

“…… The saint wants to lure Sun Liu's army to the shore and cut off its retreat, and then use his strengths to avoid his weaknesses and solve it on land? Lu Xun pondered for a while, and then guessed Liu Xie's plan.

Liu Xie gave Lu Xun a thumbs up and praised: "Bo Yan is really smart. Lu Xun and Tai Shici listened to the order. ”

Lu Xun and Tai Shici immediately went out of class and hugged their fists and said: "The end will be." ”

"Order the two of you to leave the camp by boat tonight, and ambush them in the hidden places on both sides of the camp, and don't pay attention to it when you see the fire in the camp on the third day of the next month, just wait for the signal to lead the troops to kill and cut off the return of Sun Liu's army."

"The last general commands." Lu Xun and Tai Shici were ordered to retreat.

Liu Xie believed in the ability of Lu Xun and Tai Shici, and told him the results he wanted, as for how to complete it, it was a matter between Lu Xun and Tai Shici, Liu Xie only wanted the result, regardless of the process. This is also the reason why Liu Xie's Wenchen generals have grown rapidly, they are willing to give up power, not afraid of losses, unlike the conscientious Zhuge Liang, he died after doing his best, but it also made the group of people under him completely lose the opportunity to exercise.

Ma Tan lost the street pavilion and led to the failure of the Northern Expedition, not listening to Wang Ping's correct opinion is the reason on the one hand, but on the other hand the reason is Zhuge Liang's arbitrariness, he does not trust the ability of his subordinates, everything must be done personally, Ma Tan don't look at following Zhuge Liang for many years, but it is the first time to be alone, and as soon as he came up, he met Cao Wei's famous general Zhang Jaw, how could the fledgling Ma Jian fight.

Compared with Zhuge Liang, Liu Xie is obviously a qualified leader, he provides a stage for those under his command to give full play to their talents, even if there are occasional mistakes, it will not cause too much loss, and more importantly, the group of people under his hands get the opportunity to exercise, which also accelerates the speed of progress to be able to take charge of themselves. There is no need for Liu Xie to remind him, Lu Xun, Tai Shici and others know how they can complete the tasks assigned by Liu Xie.

To put it bluntly, Liu Xie's plan is to lure the enemy into depth, cut off his way back, and gather and annihilate him. In order to deal with Liu Xie, the men and horses gathered by Chibi this time can be regarded as the essence of the two armies, once lost, then Sun Liu will be greatly injured, and when Liu Xie takes advantage of the situation to pursue, Sun Liu will not be able to return to the sky.

Therefore, the battle on the night of the third day of the next lunar month will definitely be fierce, and the significance will be even greater, and it will directly determine the time when the world will be reunited. If it is Liu Xiesheng, then within three years, the Han will become a whole again, and Liu Xie can also focus more energy outside the Han, but if it is Sun Liu Sheng, the time of the next unification of the world is unknown.

Now some people in this big man look forward to the reunification of the world, but some people hope that the world will continue to be chaotic, and he will profit from the chaos. Liu Xie was strong before, and those people wanted to avoid getting into trouble, and their true thoughts could only be hidden in their hearts, and two hundred and five with an upright temperament like Chen Qun were still a minority after all. More people still reserve their opinions and remain silent.

When Liu Xie was strong, they didn't dare to squeak, so they could only go with the flow, but once Liu Xie hurt his vitality, these ghosts and spirits would probably be unwilling to be lonely and start making trouble.

The Battle of Chibi, whether it was for Liu Xie, Sun Quan and Liu Bei, was a big battle that could affect his future and fate, and whoever didn't pay attention to it would be unlucky. Liu Xie attaches great importance to it, and Sun Liu also attaches great importance to it. Just as Liu Xie was trying his best to boost the morale of the army, Sun Liu was also busy with this matter at this time.

Compared with Liu Xie, who has squandered his capital, Sun Liu can't afford to lose. Hebei, the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Bashu, it can be said that several densely populated areas of the Han Dynasty were all included in Liu Xie's pocket. And although Sun Quan's Jiangdong and Liu Bei's Jingnan and Jiaozhou are not small in a single area, the population is not even a fraction of Liu Xie's.

No matter what you want to do, people are fundamental, and once you lack people, it is very likely that you will not be able to do it. The vast land and sparse population are the fatal shortcomings of Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and if they fight with Liu Xie, it will not be a level at all. Therefore, Sun and Liu didn't think about playing any protracted war with Liu Xie at the beginning, and a quick victory was their goal. But it is not easy to achieve this goal, with the Yangtze River natural insurance, Sun Liu got the opportunity to survive, in order to seize this opportunity, Sun Liu and the others also took out the coffin book, this day is over!

There will be brave men under the reward! Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were placed in front of people, the eyes of the excited soldiers were red, and the desire to fight was also rising rapidly, and seeing the screaming soldiers, Sun Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the soldiers are easy to fool, and they can use money to boost morale, but this trick is not very effective for the generals in the army. They are all the Lord who have eaten and seen, and whoever can see some gold and silver loses his mind. Those who can achieve the level of generals are more concerned about their own future, rather than those yellow and white things.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of his subordinates and generals, Sun Liu also made a lot of effort, played the emotional card, and promised one by one as if he didn't want money, regardless of whether it could be realized in the end, at least it made people feel comfortable.

After Lu Meng and Zhuge Liang set the time for the war, Sun Liu also knew that this was the last time to boost morale, and the next success or failure was only to depend on God's mood. They did what they should have done, they did what they shouldn't have done, and they did a lot.

Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, don't force everything, as long as you do your best, the result is ...... What can I do even if I am not convinced? It is impossible for Liu Xie to give them a chance to start over, once Chibi is defeated, there are two ways in front of Sun Liu, either to be a handsome man who knows the current affairs and take the initiative to surrender to Liu Xie, or to resist to the end and live and die with his own ambitions.

Sun Liu, who knew the consequences very well, did not think that there would be a third option for them to choose from, in order to avoid a choice that they were unwilling to face, all they could do now was to defeat Liu Xie with all their might.

……

Gangneung

Since Liu Xie waved his army south and Liu Bei took the initiative to retreat to Jiangnan, Jiangling returned to the hands of the Han Dynasty, but the Jiangling obtained by the Han Dynasty was an empty shell, and the grain and grass that were originally stored in it were emptied by Liu Bei. But it doesn't matter, the geographical location of Gangneung is important, and after the recapture of Gangneung, a large number of materials were also sent to the treasury of Gangneung, and the Han'an army led by Zhao Yun and Xu Shu also entered Gangneung.

Xu Shu, who temporarily replaced Sima Yi and entered the Han'an Army, was looking forward to the day when he would start a war with Sun Liu, because only when Liu Xie's side started a war with Sun Liu could he have the opportunity to seek revenge on Liu Bei. And the hard work paid off, Xu Shu finally waited for the news that he was about to start a war with Sun Liu today, and after confirming that the news was correct, Xu Shu rushed to Zhao Yun impromptuly, ready to discuss with Zhao Yun how to find Liu Bei's trouble.
