Chapter 351 Red Cliff
Wind, there is never a shortage of wind on the river.
Fishermen take advantage of the wind to go out to fish, and then ride the wind back to their hometowns; In the past, no one ever paid attention to where the wind was blowing, but it just swayed along the wind to the other side of the river, and it was no longer enough to use the starch.
But now, Zhou Yu is extremely concerned about the movement of the wind.
Winter is already windy, and it is even colder to stand on the river bank in a heavy leather coat; But Zhou Yu didn't seem to care, and after coughing lightly twice, he still looked at the bank of the Yangtze River, accepting the cold winter wind.
"North Wind...... North wind, tomorrow is still a north wind, and the day after tomorrow is also ......"
Zhou Yu speculated vigorously that the next few days seemed to be a north wind, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable; Halfway through December, the north wind still has no intention of turning, and even Zhou Yu is beginning to worry, will the south wind come this year?
"Gongjin, you work so hard, be careful that you are infected with the wind and cold......"
Sun Ce was also standing behind Zhou Yu in a leather coat, looking at the increasingly thin Zhou Yu, he couldn't help but feel suffocated in his heart; Zhou Yu has been sleeping near here since three days ago, and he sent someone to investigate the humidity of Dongting Lake, and he personally came to the Yangtze River estuary to observe the wind direction, but he was afraid that he had already suffered from the cold.
"Ahem, ahem, it's okay...... Bo Fu, now the wind direction is unpredictable, I am afraid that the matter of breaking Cao Cao will have to be slowed down first. β
Sun Ce shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "Gong Jin, Cao Thief has already been tricked, Dongfeng is only a matter of time, why do you have to work so hard?" Go back and rest, if you are seriously ill, how do you watch me unify this great river and mountain? β
Zhou Yu smiled palely and said, "You can't dominate the world, how can I be willing to die?" It's just that if Cao Cao discovers our strategy, I'm afraid that the fire attack will be unpredictable......"
"I have informed Cheng Pu, Lu Su and others of the strategy, they will observe the wind direction, you go and rest......" Sun Ce said quite stubbornly.
But Sun Ce is stubborn, and Zhou Yu is more stubborn than him; He shook his head slowly, wanting to laugh, but the smile was extremely ugly: "After breaking Cao, you will allow me to take a March vacation......
"Don't say March, it's okay for three years!"
Zhou Yu smiled, but unconsciously coughed lightly, as if he was about to cough out his lungs. The military doctors in the army have limited medical skills and are helpless against Zhou Yu's disease; Sun Ce has already sent people to find a good doctor, but there has been no news so far.
Looking at the vast daylight, Zhou Yu leaned in the pavilion, and shouted helplessly in his heart: "God, Bo Fu is determined to dominate the world, how can I, Zhou Yu, fall behind?" If you are willing to start the east wind, I, Zhou Yu, am willing to bet on my life in exchange for this east wind! β
In the twelfth year of the first era, if Zhou Yu's age is thirty-six years old according to history, if he changes his life, he can't go back?
But God seemed to hear Zhou Yu's heart, and suddenly saw the north wind stagnating, and the order flag of the tent corner tower suddenly floated to the northwest, and the generals were horrified, Zhou Yu cried with joy and shouted: "Southeast wind!" Really southeast wind? β
Sun Ce didn't expect the change to come so quickly, and found veterans such as Cheng Pu and Han Dang, who knew the climate of the Yangtze River very well; Seeing that the southeast wind was rising at this moment, he hurriedly said, "Lord! This wind is coming just in time, and according to our calculations, it will blow for three days, and it will be especially severe tonight! β
"Good...... Good! Ahem, ahem! Zhou Yu walked out of the pavilion excitedly, and almost fell, but fortunately he was helped by someone, "Broken...... The day of the break is tonight! General Cheng, you go quickly and let General Huang prepare, and later it will change! β
β¦β¦
Zhou Yu had never felt that the night came so slowly, because he was physically exhausted by the wind and cold, and could only be placed in a wheelchair; However, Sun Ce has already told him not to worry, after all, he is still confident in his talents, let Zhou Yu look at his heroic posture in this battle!
Cao Cao's camp is feasting soldiers, because today Cao Cao received a letter from Huang Gai, saying that everything has been sorted out, and tonight he will lead 3,000 sailors and 10,000 grain to take refuge; Although Cao Cao didn't like the grain, grass and water army, he liked the yellow cover, after all, this already meant that he had won half of it.
Although the military banquet was not very good, the king of Wei was arrogant, and everyone was not good at brushing his face, so they drank and had fun; Among Zhong Qi's drinking, only one person was lonely, standing on the bow of the boat and not drinking, looking at the south bank of the Yangtze River worriedly
Everyone was drunk and I woke up alone, although Cheng Yu didn't dare to say this, but his right eyelid was jumping quite happily in the past few days, which made him worry. The southeast wind just blew today, and Huang Gai chose to vote today, isn't this a conspiracy?
But Cheng Yu couldn't say it, King Wei was now on the rise, and he just chanted a poem for Yangzhou Assassin Liu Fu to judge, Liu Fu said that there were inappropriate words in the poem, and he was stabbed over by Cao Cao and died directly on the ship. This is a lesson from the past, Cheng Yu doesn't want to die like this.
"It's coming, it's coming! King Wei, it's the Green Dragon Banner! β
Suddenly a soldier shouted in front of the camp gate, and this word reached Cao Cao's ears; Suddenly, Zhongshan in the camp gate shouted long live, Cao Cao laughed loudly, and said: "Huang Gai is here to vote, will this Jiangdong be far away?" Tomorrow, I will send troops to fight against Sun Ce! Come on, let the yellow cover in, and let him drink with us!" β
More than a dozen ships slowly floated into the camp gate, Huang Gai and other 3,000 people were ready to go, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses were already ambushed in the nearby forest, and the naval army led by Cheng Pu had also sneaked into the vicinity; Jiangdong is good at water warfare, even if there are no ships, Cao Cao can still be beaten to death.
Huang Gai secretly gestured, and the leaders of more than a dozen ships understood, and ordered the soldiers in the ships to prepare fire oil and hay, and the torches in their hands became tighter and tighter.
It's time to make a name for yourself!
Everyone on the boat was excited, eating meat with wine and water, and looking at Huang Gai without the slightest caution; Only Cheng Yu, who was on the main boat, secretly screamed bad after seeing Huang Gai, and hurriedly ordered: "Huang Gai, stop me!" Stop it! β¦β¦ Left and right, stop Huang Gai's boat for me! β
Cao Cao, who was drinking, was quite dissatisfied, and scolded slightly drunkenly: "Zhongde, why are you shouting so much about such a beautiful day?" It is a great sin to indiscriminately call on a lone army! Do you want to follow in Liu Fu's footsteps? β
Cheng Yu said in a panic: "King Wei, Huang Gai said that he came with 10,000 grains, but the draft of those dozen ships is so shallow, where is the grain?" This must be Huang Gai and Zhou Yu's plan, the lord should stop him quickly! β
Hearing Cheng Yu say this, Cao Cao's wine woke up half in an instant, and he hurriedly took the letter to Xiahou Yuan on the side, and asked him to order Huang Gai to stop; I didn't think that the order had not yet been issued, but I saw Jiang Zhong Huang Gai suddenly smiled and said: "Cao thief, I have a plan today, and I will take your life!" β
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen ships caught fire in an instant, and more than 3,000 soldiers jumped into the water; The fire boat rushed towards Cao Cao's building ship with the help of the strong wind, only to see the fire spreading in the Yangtze River Mountain, and hundreds of ships instantly became a sea of fire! Cao Cao wanted to order the fireboat to drive away, but suddenly remembered that the iron chain tied to the ship, how to loosen it?
"Xun Gang mistook me, Xun Gang misunderstood me!"
Cao's army was feasting and could not immediately organize a good defense; Sun Ce's army, hidden in the surrounding dense forests and in the water swings, rose up and killed Cao Cao without leaving a single piece of armor.
"Hand Blade Cao Thief!"
Huang Gai suddenly rushed out of the water and led hundreds of people to rush towards Cao Cao on the main boat in an instant; Cao Cao was frightened the moment he saw it, but fortunately, Xiahou Yuan reacted quickly, and only one arrow hit Huang Gai's shoulder blade, Huang Gai was in pain, coupled with his old age, he fell into the water weakly, and was rescued by Sun Cejun's navy.
"King Wei, hurry up and retreat towards Jiangling!"
Many generals and ministers quickly evacuated to the shore, prepared their horses, and withdrew towards Jiangling amid the shouts of Sun Cejun's army.
The fire soared into the sky, becoming the most spectacular scene in the eleventh year of Jian'an, and also the most famous example of winning more with less; The scorching flames burned all the nearby rocks red, leading to the name of the placeβ
Chibi!
