However, during this time, Cao Jun was obviously not idle. On the one hand, Cao Jun needed to build iron cables to connect ships, and on the other hand, in order to deal with the fire attack of Sun Liu's coalition army, Cao Cao had been preparing for this problem during this time. This is a very big project, firstly, it cannot be noticed by the Sun and Liu coalition forces, and secondly, it is extremely important to fool Zhou Yu. The result of the first battle of Chibi depends on this battle, so Cao Jun will naturally not be sloppy.

Both the Cao army and the Sun-Liu coalition were preparing for a major battle, which reduced the skirmishes between the two sides a lot. But everyone knows that this is just a glimmer of calm before the storm. Just wait for this quiet moment to pass, and the Cao army and the Sun Liu coalition army will naturally have a shocking battle, and this battle will determine the direction of the world. Now all the princes are waiting to see what kind of outcome this battle will end.

If Cao's army defeats the Sun-Liu coalition army, then it won't be long before the world will be unified by Cao Cao. If this is the case, then you should really find a way out for yourself. Whether to ask Cao Cao to surrender, or to resist to the end.

But if the Sun-Liu coalition is victorious, then it is another way of saying. If Cao Cao is really defeated, it must be a big defeat. This defeat must be a wound, and if you want to regroup, Cao Jun still needs a certain amount of time to recuperate. If this is the case, then the opportunity of the princes will come.

For the princes of the world, they naturally did not want Cao Cao to win. But looking at the entire battle situation, the possibility of Cao Cao wanting to defeat is obviously very small. Now, the regeneration of the Jiangdong battalion has caused discord among the main and deputy generals, which is a matter that greatly affects morale. The princes obviously didn't show up, why would Zhou Yu make such a fatal mistake at such a critical moment. As soon as this news came out. The princes of the world are helpless, is Cao Jun really the trend of the times.

No matter what outsiders think, the Sun-Liu coalition army should still be what it should be. However, although the current Jiangdong camp seems to be calm, everyone knows that there is indeed an undercurrent behind this calm. The contradiction between Zhou Yu and Huang Gai is obviously becoming more and more irreconcilable. As soon as the two meet, they will inevitably quarrel.

Now, Zhou Yu no longer invited Huang Gai to the palace to discuss matters, and Huang Gai obviously summoned some close generals to fight against Zhou Yu. The Jiangdong camp seems to have been divided into two factions, one is the powerful Zhou Yu, and the other is Huang Gai, although they are weaker, but they are better than unity.

But no matter what, Huang Gai's group is weak after all. Zhou Yu is suppressing the Huang Gai faction all the time. It made everyone miserable. Just when everyone felt cornered, one person suddenly proposed, since Zhou Yu was so ruthless and unrighteous, why not join Cao Jun.

When this news was raised, it was immediately opposed by the vast majority of people, especially Huang Gai. His attitude was obviously very resolute, if this person had not been a cronie who had followed him for many years, Huang Gai would definitely drag this person out and behead him.

Huang Gai's reaction was so violent. This made no one dare to mention it again. However, as Zhou Yu squeezed the Huang Gai faction more and more, the people of the Huang Gai faction had become struggling. To know. Now what Zhou Yu is doing is completely not giving Huang Gai and his faction any way to live. Because Zhou Yu had already sent someone to restrict the diet of Huang Gai's group, and Zhou Yu also ordered Huang Gai to immediately contact all his duties, and after hearing it, he would be uniformly dispatched. If Huang Gaiken listened to the order, Zhou Yu said that he would not be embarrassed for him. But if he really continues to go his own way, then no one can blame Zhou Yu for being ruthless.

Obviously. This is already an ultimatum given by Zhou Yu. The reason why Zhou Yu didn't make a move was because Huang Gai's faction had a lot of soldiers under his command, and if he really made a move, the final result would be to cheapen Cao Cao. But now it seems that Zhou Yu obviously can't wait.

Cao's army is the enemy. Zhou Yu naturally didn't want a big camp to be torn apart. Therefore, the problem of yellow cover must be solved at all costs.

Zhou Yu's ultimatum made Huang Gai's faction a little unsure of what to do, and they all knew that no matter whether they handed over their military power or fought back, their fate would not be much better. And at this time, the proposal to surrender Cao Jun was once again placed in front of Huang Gai, and this time, Huang Gai obviously hesitated.

Hesitation means that this matter is very likely to proceed, and yes, now Huang Gai has been forced by Zhou Yu to the point of exhaustion. Not only Huang Gai, but all the generals and soldiers who were involved with Huang Gai's faction have obviously reached the end of the mountain. If he really wants Zhou Yu to bow his head, then these people will also suffer with him.

Huang Gai is obviously a person who cherishes soldiers very much, these soldiers dare to do it against Zhou Yu because they trust themselves, and now Huang Gai obviously can't watch these soldiers being punished. Therefore, surrendering the Cao army is tantamount to the best way. After all, Cao Cao's reputation is there, and he obviously loves talents very much, and he doesn't care about his background. There are many generals in Cao's army who have real power, so Huang Gai is naturally not afraid that Cao Cao will not accept him.

After some painful thought, Huang Gai finally nodded. What is his reputation, if he fails these brothers and soldiers who trust him, then he is afraid that he will die, and he will not be able to face these soldiers who trust him. For the sake of these soldiers, Huang Gai can obviously give up some of his fame and prestige.

"This matter should not be publicized, choose a trustworthy person to contact Prime Minister Cao Cheng on the other side of the strait first, and see what the situation is with Prime Minister Cao. Then gather some trustworthy soldiers and see if they will go with me to Cao's army! Attention, this matter is related to our net worth and life, so we must be careful! Huang Gai commanded in a deep voice. In fact, there is no need for Huang Gai to order, everyone also knows how dangerous this matter is, if it leaks a little, I am afraid that everyone will fall to the ground.

After Huang Gai gave the order, the generals under his command naturally began to prepare for this matter. Soon, a figure left the Jiangdong camp and headed towards Cao Jun's water village. And this news obviously did not escape Zhou Yu's ears, and he smiled slightly, this matter has been planned for so long, and even caused the Jiangdong army to split, isn't it for this.

He acted in such a big scene with Huang Gai, the purpose was to want Cao Cao to be fooled. For this reason, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai spared no effort to do it. Now it is obviously quite effective, and Huang Gai at this moment has obviously become a person who can't stand himself and has difficulty surviving in the Jiangdong military camp, so he went to Cao Jun in such an capacity. With Cao Cao's character, there is obviously not much suspicion. After all, in order to make this matter more real, Huang Gai did not tell his subordinates that this was just a ploy.

But what Zhou Yu didn't know was that although Huang Gai's surrender letter was now on Cao Cao's table, Cao Cao didn't have any joy in it. Now Cao Cao's expression is very flat, because he has already heard Du Chen say this matter. Now. Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh again that Du Chen was really the first to anticipate the enemy, the battle had not yet started, and the things that Du Chen said became true one after another. However, Cao Cao was obviously a little surprised, why Du Chen was not like this before, it was really puzzling.

But no matter what, everything is going according to the plan arranged by Cao Jun. It is foreseeable that Zhou Yu now thinks that he is the leader, but he knows that the path he is taking is arranged for him by Cao Jun. Now the yellow cover is coming. Then it turns out that the Jiangdong Army will soon launch a fire attack.

Cao Cao had obviously been waiting for this time to come, because Cao Jun had already prepared for it. In order to lure the enemy deeper, Cao Cao made a lot of effort. Half of the camps were burned by Zhou Yu, and if he wanted to use such a big gift, Zhou Yu would definitely not be fooled. As long as Zhou Yu is fooled, then Cao Jun can attack him unprepared.

Tens of thousands of Cao army elites were already ready to go, as long as the Jiangdong army attacked, Cao Cao would let them know. What is a well-deserved elite. A strong navy does pose some threat to Cao's army, but a strong army is the guarantee of everything. The navy is indeed able to hold back the enemy for a while. But this is not the right way. If you want to conquer cities, you still need a strong army that is invincible all the time. Only in this way can it be possible to survive in this troubled world where wars are raging and people are like mustard.

Cao Cao's thoughts were obviously a little far away, but he still quickly came back to his senses. Picking up the letter again, Cao Cao laughed loudly: "The prestige of the old general Huang Gai has long been heard. Today, it is really a fortunate thing for Cao to be able to get the old general's vote. You quickly send back to the old general, and say that the old general is welcome to vote at any time. The gate of the Cao army will always be open for the old general, as long as the old general comes to join the Cao army, I will send someone to receive the old general into our army's water village! ”

Cao Cao's joy obviously did not need to be concealed. However, the envoy obviously didn't know that Cao Cao was not happy because of Huang Gailai's surrender, and what really made Cao Cao laugh involuntarily was because he felt that the victory of Cao's army was in the near future. As long as Huang Gai comes to surrender, there will be a result in the battle of Chibi.

However, Cao Cao's performance obviously reassured the envoys, they were excluded from their own military camp, but they received such courtesy in Cao's army's camp. There is such a gap in treatment, which makes the envoy sigh. However, no matter how polite Cao Jun was to himself, the envoy's heart was always so uncomfortable.

That's right, if it weren't for Zhou Yu being too pressing, they wouldn't have chosen to surrender to Cao Jun if they hadn't been in Jiangdong for so long. After all, these people are all old courtiers of Jiangdong, and how many old courtiers will choose to surrender to the enemy. Thinking of this, the envoy's heart couldn't help but sigh a little, it was really unpredictable.

After consulting with Cao Cao for a while, the envoy left Cao's camp. After the envoy left for a while, Guo Jia said with admiration: "I have to admire Si Lang, he actually expected that the person who came to surrender was Huang Gai." There are countless good generals under Jiangdong's command, and it is very difficult to select one of these people. I really doubt that Silang is the worm in Zhou Yu's stomach after all. Otherwise, why is everything Zhou Yu thinks clearly? ”

Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao smile, who said no, Du Chen, this kid is really a god. You must know that Du Chen is accompanying his second wife to see the scenery at the moment, but he can know everything well, and all Zhou Yu's arrangements are in Du Chen's calculations, which is obviously unimaginable.

Zhou Yu didn't seem to have any secrets in front of Du Chen, if Du Chen knew Zhou Yu, Cao Cao obviously didn't believe it. Because he had never seen what Zhou Yu looked like, and Du Chen had always lived in the north, how could he come to Jiangdong to see Zhou Yu. However, people who had never met each other knew Zhou Yu very well, which made Cao Cao feel very puzzled, and he didn't know why Du Chen would make such an accurate judgment.

"Okay, this is not the time to laugh, since Huang Gai has come to surrender, then the offensive of the Sun-Liu coalition army will come soon. Although our army is not afraid of the Sun-Liu coalition army, there are still tens of thousands of Sun-Liu coalition troops after all, so we must not underestimate them! Cao Cao said in a heavy tone.

This Guo Jia naturally knew that now that the war was imminent, all the soldiers of the Cao Army were ready to fight to the death. Although friends have always been a last resort. But Guo Jia also knows that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if something really happens, then it may affect the outcome of the battle.

This is something that Du Chen has always warned himself, sometimes he can often win in front, and this is the time. Combat can take an unexpected turn. Therefore, without waiting for the end of the war, we must not be careless about the enemy. If it really falls short at this time, then Guo Jia will have no face to see Du Chen. Therefore, this battle is also quite important for Guo Jia. This battle can only be won and not lost, and he wants to show his friends that he is already up to the task.

Cao Jun was plotting here to discuss how to deal with the fire attack of the Sun-Liu coalition army, and at this time, Zhou Yu also got the result he wanted. Cao Cao really loves talents as always, and the big drama he played with Huang Gai obviously didn't lead Cao Cao to doubt.

Everything was ready, but Zhou Yu was shocked to find a problem. It's winter. In the Chibi area, the wind blows from the west or south, and there is no north or east wind at all. And his own Chen Bing and the south bank are located under the southeast of Cao's army. If you want to attack Cao's army, you will inevitably need the help of the southeast wind. But now, you let Zhou Yu go there to find the southeast wind. If there is no southeast wind, how can we talk about burning Cao Jun.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu's mood suddenly sank. Now it's all in place. A big drama made Cao Cao behead Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Then the iron cable connected the ship, plus the current yellow cover, please descend. Everything has been implemented. Now all I need to do is set a fire, but I didn't realize it until now. There is a big premise for arson, and that is the southeast wind. Without the southeast wind, this fire would definitely not be released.

The more this is the case, the heavier Zhou Yu's mood becomes. And the heavier Zhou Yu's mood is, the more he obviously thinks. At this time, Zhou Yu seemed to be stuck in a dead knot and couldn't extricate himself. Faced with such a weather problem. Zhou Yu was obviously at a loss. No matter how good the plan is, can it still affect the weather?

Zhou Yu's dullness aroused everyone's attention, and now Cao Jun has been tricked, but why does Zhou Dudu have such an expression. Everyone didn't know why, but Zhuge Liang was very clear. He groaned slightly. Then he said: "If you want to break Cao Gong, it is advisable to attack with fire, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." ”

Zhuge Liang's words suddenly attracted Zhou Yu's sideways, and seeing that Zhuge Liang was still calm and relaxed at this moment, Zhou Yu immediately asked in a deep voice: "Since Zhuge Military Master knows, why can he laugh?" ”

"Although Liang is not talented, he is willing to solve problems for the governor. If the governor can be trusted, he can build one in Nanping Mountain, called the Seven Star Altar. I want to take the stage and catch the wind to the sky, it only takes three days, and the east wind will come! Zhuge Liang suddenly said loudly.

Zhuge Liang's words made Zhou Yu stunned, and at the same time made everyone present stunned. Obviously, Zhuge Liang's words were indeed a bit shocking. His words obviously shook everyone. Everyone felt that they should have heard it wrong, Zhuge Liang actually wanted to open the altar. This was really what Zhuge Liang said, and everyone was obviously surprised.

Zhou Yu was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, looking at Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu asked in a deep voice: "What did Zhuge Junshi just say, could it be that I heard it wrong?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and then said: "Zhou Dudu is not wrong to listen, the next thing is to open the altar and ask the sky for wind." Zhuge Liang smiled with a hint of confidence, which made everyone present not understand what Zhuge Liang was thinking. The practice of opening the altar to ask the heavens for the wind is such a godly idea.

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Zhuge Military Division, you must know that there is no joke in the army, if you really agree to this, if you don't see the wind after three days, then don't blame you for turning your face and being ruthless!" After saying this, Zhou Yu showed a hint of a smile. Regardless of whether what Zhuge Liang said was true or false, Zhou Yu felt that this was an opportunity. If Zhuge Liang is really able to ask for the wind, then it is easy to say. But if Zhuge Liang failed to ask for the wind, then Zhou Yu could use this to punish Zhuge Liang. After all, Zhuge Liang will become his enemy sooner or later, so it is better to curb his development.

Zhuge Liang obviously heard what Zhou Yu was saying, but Zhuge Liang obviously didn't care. smiled slightly, and then said: "Words are true, I said that there will be wind in three days, then the east wind will come in three days." If there is no wind after three days, then you will be willing to be punished! ”

Zhou Yu was obviously waiting for Zhuge Liang to say this. In any case, the matter of Dongfeng is solved. Regardless of whether Zhuge Liang was able to borrow the east wind or not, this was a good thing for the Jiangdong coalition army. Moreover, even if Zhuge Liang really borrowed the east wind, Zhou Yu would not necessarily let him go. Liu Bei is definitely a difficult enemy, as can be seen from his ability to survive in the cracks of many princes. Now Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang again. As the saying goes, it is like a tiger with wings, and it is in the limelight.

In this regard, Zhou Yu naturally can't sit idly by. With Liu Bei's ability and Zhuge Liang's talent, Zhou Yu expected that sooner or later they would threaten Jiangdong. After all, Liu Bei now has occupied the magpie's nest and occupied the entire Jiangxia. After Cao's army really withdraws, Liu Bei's next target must be Jingnan. Liu Bei occupied Jing Nan's words. It will inevitably make it impossible for the Jiangdong Army to expand its territory. Sun Quan and Liu Bei are now in a period of alliance, and this alliance will not break until the great threat of Cao Jun is eliminated. No one would choose to break the Ring Alliance easily, because this would undoubtedly give Cao Cao a chance to break them one by one.

Zhou Yu couldn't do it by declaring war with Liu Bei, but Zhou Yu could still do it if he appropriately weakened Liu Bei's strength. As long as Zhuge Liang is killed, then Liu Bei will lose this great help, and Liu Bei's threat without Zhuge Liang is naturally much smaller. In the future, he will use appropriate strategies, and Zhou Yu is confident that he can swallow Liu Bei's strength.

Now that the matter of the east wind has been settled. Zhou Yu then ordered the generals of each army to perform their duties. Then, Zhou Yu selected 300 soldiers and handed them over to Zhuge Liang. Let these soldiers follow Zhuge Liang to build the altar. After arranging everything, Zhou Yu turned around and left the big tent. After Zhou Yu left, Lu Su hurriedly walked up.

Lu Su's face was full of anxiety, and Zhuge Liang made a military order in front of Zhou Yu, which really saddened Lu Su. The military order is really that good, if it is really capable. The military order was just to boost morale. But Zhuge Liang's so-called borrowing the east wind from the sky is obviously nonsense.

It's okay to say that this matter is okay as a pastime and entertainment, but now that Zhuge Liang has made a military order, if he can't see the east wind in three days, Zhou Yu will definitely not spare Zhuge Liang. At the very least, Zhou Yu would order Zhuge Liang to be beaten with dozens of military sticks. In addition, Zhou Yu is likely to have ordered Zhuge Liang to be killed. However, in Lu Su's opinion, with Zhuge Liang's slightly thin body, he obviously can't withstand dozens of military sticks. Therefore, if there is no east wind after three days, Zhuge Liang will definitely die.

Lu Su was very worried, but Zhuge Liang's expression was indeed light. Seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't have the slightest worried expression, Lu Su said in a deep voice: "Kong Ming, what's wrong with you, why did you say such a thing." Borrowing the East from the sky, what a joke. Can the heavens still be at your disposal? ”

"Brother Zijing, why should I be so worried, I have my own plans for this matter. Besides, Dongfeng is a key factor in whether our army and Cao's army will win or lose the battle, how can I joke about it! Zhuge Liang said calmly with a slight smile.

Hearing this, Lu Su suddenly became stunned. That's right, how smart Zhuge Liang is, how could he make such a mistake. Looking at Zhuge Liang's indifferent expression, Lu Su couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, could it be that Zhuge Liang could really control the weather. In this regard, Lu Su would not believe it no matter what, if Zhuge Liang really had the ability, he could make the Yangtze River churn and devour all the warships of the Cao army. In that case, the Jiangdong army would be able to win without a fight, and Liu Bei would not be chased and killed by Cao Jun's clothes and pants, like a lost dog. Of course, I can only think about this in my heart, and I really can't tell Zhuge Liang.

"Okay, I, Zhuge Liang, am bound to be a person who does what he says, instead of worrying so much, why don't you wait for a few days with peace of mind, and after three days, you will know whether this matter is true or false!" Seeing that Lu Su's face was still not very good-looking, Zhuge Liang comforted him.

In the entire Jiangdong camp, Lu Su can be said to be the person with the best relationship with him. Moreover, Lu Su helped himself a lot. The reason why he was able to form an alliance with the Jiangdong Sun clan was that Lu Su could be said to have contributed a lot. If it weren't for Zhang Luo, who was busy with Lu Su, the alliance between Sun and Liu would naturally not be so smooth.

Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Lu Su's heart that he had been carrying finally let go. Since Zhuge Liang is confident, he is really worried a lot. For Dongfeng, Lu Su is also very concerned. After all, the Jiangdong Navy's fire attack plan needs the east wind to set off, if there is no east wind, the fire attack plan is just a joke.

After comforting Lu Su, Zhuge Liang left the big tent. At this moment, he needed to build the altar, knowing that this was not a trivial matter. Since it is a play, you have to do a full set, and you have already boasted about Haikou, so you have to make this thing beautiful, otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke for others to see.

Regarding Zhuge Liang's borrowing of the east wind, many generals in Jiangdong did not trust it very much. After all, Zhuge Liang's borrowing from the sky is just nonsense, if the sky is so easy to speak, then Cao Cao would have been destroyed for a long time under the prayers of the Jiangdong soldiers.

Although no one believed it, Zhuge Liang set up the altar with great fanfare. Hearing this news, the Jiangdong generals were obviously very puzzled. Looking at Zhuge Liang's posture, he really plans to borrow the east wind from the sky. Thinking of Zhuge Liang's military order, the hearts of all the generals in Jiangdong were secretly thinking, could Zhuge Liang really borrow the east wind.

Regarding this question, Cao Cao's heart was obviously full of doubts. Stationed in Chibi for so long, how could Cao Cao not know what the climate is like in the Chibi area. And for this matter, Cao Cao also specially inquired with the locals. The east wind is not absent in this season, but it is very rare.

In this season, the southwest wind is basically in the Chibi area, and as for the northeast wind, it is not necessarily seen once in ten years. Cao Cao obviously didn't believe that Zhou Yu's Jiangdong Army would have such luck, it was rare to see it in ten years, could it really be that this east wind would really appear on the day of his decisive battle with the Jiangdong Army.

But Du Chen swore that the east wind would inevitably appear. In this regard, Cao Cao expressed helplessness. However, in his trust in Du Chen, Cao Cao still believed that Dongfeng would definitely come.

At night, Huang Gai's envoy came to Cao Ying again. Cao Cao personally met this person, and this person said that at midnight three days later, Huang Gai would lead his soldiers to defect to Cao's army, so the envoy hoped that Cao Cao would be able to open the gate of Shuizhai at that time to welcome the soldiers under the command of General Huang Gai.

In this regard, Cao Cao naturally agreed, ordered someone to send the messenger away, Cao Cao's face suddenly became a little gloomy, three days later will come to surrender, this side shows that three days later is the decisive battle between Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army. Moreover, the Sun-Liu coalition decided to attack Cao's army after three days, which proved that there would be an east wind after three days.

In this regard, Cao Cao expressed his surprise, Zhou Yu must not be a reckless person, since he decided to attack after three days, then it means that the east wind will blow after three days. Why is Zhou Yu so sure that there will be an east wind in three days? Whether it was Du Chen or Zhou Yu, both of them firmly believed that Dongfeng was coming back, which made Cao Cao feel very incomprehensible. Could it be that both of them are familiar with the art of astronomy and geography, but it's not right, how did he know?

Ignoring Cao Cao's incomprehension, it was obvious that three days would pass easily. In the past three days, Zhuge Liang has been supervising the progress of the sacrifice to the heavens. Living up to expectations, the festival was completed at noon on the third day. After completing the altar, Zhuge Liang began to bathe and change clothes, looking quite promising.

Zhuge Liang's actions have always been in Zhou Yu's attention, and it is obvious that Zhou Yu does not want any problems to arise at this critical juncture. Now that time is passing little by little, it seems that it is about to fall into the night, and I don't know if this east wind can really be borrowed smoothly.

After nightfall, Zhuge Liang asked all the Jiangdong soldiers to avoid it. In this regard, the Jiangdong soldiers naturally did not dare to act rashly. However, Zhuge Liang can say that if he prays to God to be pious, if he is watched by others and makes God think that he is not pious, and cannot borrow the east wind, then all the blame will be on them.

All the generals are Zhou Yu's henchmen, so they naturally know the importance of this east wind, if this matter is really to blame on them, they really can't afford it. Therefore, the soldiers could only ask Zhou Yu for his life. (To be continued......)
