Chapter 340: Their Way
Why are his eyes so bright in the dark of night?
Zhou Yu asked himself in his heart, could it be that it was just because he had a bright word in his name? The eyes are like cat's eyes. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The sky is getting colder, the fog on the river is permeated, soaking through the clothes of the four people, Zhang Ren and Lu Meng are drinking soju to drive away the cold, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang look at each other, they don't feel the cold, the flame burns in their eyes, burning in their hearts, at this moment, they know that the war that belongs to the two of them has really begun.
"In the past, I always thought that Fuhan was my path."
"Now your path has changed." Zhou Yu said.
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, put down the piano on his lap, and said: "In the past, my road was the road of heaven, I thought that even if the sky was Han, even if the Han was the sky, the sky could not fall, but now I see clearly, it is people who really can't fall." The people live and work in peace and contentment, no longer hungry and cold, no longer separated from their wives, no longer thousands of miles of white bones, no longer plagues rampant, they can see the sun of tomorrow in their hearts, they can see the food in the bowl in their eyes, and the family is reunited, this is what I want to see. β
"But the war is still going on, isn't the path you are taking contradictory to what you have in your heart?"
"Only war can stop war, people have tasted the pain of war, and then they yearn for peace, and I have been walking towards that destination, but the road is a little dirty."
"If the road is dirty, isn't your heart dirty? In this troubled world, aren't these words you saying to me nonsense? War is just a game between high-ranking people, and they are all grass and mustard all their lives, so what is the difference between people and dogs in troubled times? Tell me your ideals with a smooth face, I can only tell you that your ideals are just filthy, what's the point? β
Zhuge Liang retracted his fingers into his sleeves and said with a slight smile: "The reason why I told you so much is only because I know that you can't see that scene, so I have to tell you in advance, I'm afraid you won't hear it." β
"Haha!" Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Do you mean that this war is my end?" β
"Xingchen told me that your life is short, the general trend is the same, and it is difficult for you to turn the situation around."
"Humph! Then just open your eyes and take a good look! On the Yangtze River, is it your end or my Zhou Yu's end. β
The sun broke through the fog and shone on the two of them, white Confucian robes, red battle robes, the early morning wind blew their foggy hair, the waves rolled, and the sound stopped.
The two turned the bow of the boat and turned away, a rising sun spread in the water, and they turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, they looked at each other and suddenly smiled.
Zhuge Liang bowed his head and bowed to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu turned his back to Zhuge Liang, and said to Lu Meng: "Hurry up, hurry up and go back and prepare, the battle is about to start." β
Lu Meng was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't the governor say that Zhuge Liang would not attack until ten days later?" β
"Tomorrow or even today, at the latest, the battle will begin."
Lu Meng didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly rowed towards his side.
"Zhang Ren, what do you think of Zhou Yu this time?"
"Proud and arrogant, no one in sight."
"This is just a faΓ§ade, you may not have seen the real him."
"Did you see that, sir?"
"See."
"And what kind of person is he?"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, sighed, and did not speak.
Zhang Ren glanced at Zhuge Liang, and saw that he was half-lying in the bed, holding his head with one hand, as if he was drunk, yes, Zhuge Liang was not good at drinking, and he drank continuously last night, and it seemed that he was really drunk.
Sure enough, after a while, Zhuge Liang's slight snoring sound came from the cabin, and the birds on the river swept by, Zhang Ren looked at himself in the water, and said secretly: The road I used to take is different from the road I am taking now.
Pang Tong laid out the infantry hook line formation, commanded 30,000 infantry to drive to the defense line under Zhu Ran's subordinates, because the terrain is changeable, most of them are hills and paths, and the hook line formation is a convenient formation to change the formation. The front of the hook formation is a phalanx, and the two wings are bent backwards into a hook shape to protect the safety of the flanks and prevent the enemy from attacking the rear command of the golden drum in a roundabout way. A kind of battle formation with the left and right wings bent backwards like hooks used in ancient battles is one of the "ten formations" in ancient times.
Zhu Ran set up camp according to the danger, cast stone walls, and his army piled up hundreds of stone piles, which were about ten meters high, and flags were erected on the stone piles and swayed in the wind. In front of the stone wall were three trenches more than three meters deep and five meters wide. Its army occupies small heights, again. The stone pile is to block the enemy's charge, and the flags erected on the stone pile can predict the direction of the wind, and during the day, it can confuse the enemy's mind, so that people can not concentrate when fighting. The Chu army drove to the front of the trench, and the hook line formation turned into an infantry phalanx. Yang Yi and Pang Tong both went to the front of the trench. Yang Yi looked at the stone pile piled up in the opponent's formation, and the flag planted on the stone pile said: "Really, we senior brothers, how much we like to play with a mound of stones or something, but are you sure that Senior Brother Zhu Ran can play with us by playing these?" β
Among the nine sons of Shuijing, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu are good at arranging formations, and the other seven sons have studied the formation, but they are not as proficient as Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu.
"When he was in Shuijing Villa, Zhu Ran studied the stone formation, after so many years, his formation has indeed grown a lot, I'm afraid it's not much worse than Xu Shu." Pang Tong said.
Yang Yi smiled and said, "Is it difficult, do you think you can't break this formation?" β
Pang Tong glanced at Yang Yi, and said with a smile: "Don't forget that Ma Hong hasn't studied the stone formation much, didn't he still break Xu Shu's earth formation outside Hanzhong City, can't I break these rotten stone walls?" β
"Then how do you want to break it?"
"How Ma Hong was broken at the beginning, how can we break it!"
"So much trouble?"
"Ma Hong has already figured out a way to crack it for us, why should I bother to think about it?"
"There seems to be some truth to what you say."
"The formation has been repeated thousands of times, but its core is unchanged, but it is only ten times that of one hundred and eight stone piles, thirty-six Tiangang, and seventy-two earth evils."
"It's easy to say, is it easy to break?"
"It's definitely easy."
"Shiyuan! When you were a child, you were very good at bragging about your kung fu, and after so many years, you are now nearly forty years old, how can you brag about your kung fu even more. β
"Is there one?" Pang Tong touched his nose and asked.
"Of course it is, when I was a child, you and Ma Hong had the highest braggadocio skills among our people, but you were not as tall as Ma Hong, so Ma Hong became the king of our Chu State, and you became the prime minister of Chu State."
Pang Tong smiled, reached out and patted Yang Yi's shoulder and said, "You kid! Remember to be respectful to the king, for the one who becomes the king, even if he has ever been close to us, cannot come according to the old courtesy. β
"Of course, I know this."
"If you know, it's good."
"Hey, do you want to fight?"
"Just now, I thought of a simpler way than Ma Hong's previous crack?"
"What's the solution?"
Pang Tong smiled and said, "Gunpowder blasting!! β
Yang Yi smiled and said, "It's really a good way!! β
