Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Sun Jian resigned from the post of Cheng in Xiapi County, recruited more than 1,000 disciples of Huai and Si, and went to Yingchuan to join Zhu Jun's account and was appointed as Sima of the Zuo Army. Zhu Jun was defeated by Bocai in Yingchuan, the army under his command was scattered, and Zhu Jun himself was also besieged by the Yellow Turban soldiers, and he was in danger, but fortunately Sun Jian led his headquarters to fight to the death and did not retreat, so he saved Zhu Jun's life. This battle also played the prestige of Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, and everyone praised him. Zhu Jun is even more of a confidant, if he hadn't been guilty of it, Liu Jian would have been promoted a long time ago.

Huangfu Song said: "This place is not a place to talk, let's go back to the camp first." ”

Everyone agreed. At that time, it was already dusk, the Yellow Turban's offensive had stopped, and there was rarely silence in the city. The Yellow Turban Army, which was mostly composed of peasants, worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and they brought this local habit to the battlefield, and as soon as it was dark, they stopped the offensive and went back to eat and sleep. At the beginning, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun also tried to sneak attack the Yellow Turban Camp at night, but Bo Cai had already taken precautions, and several counterattacks ended in vain, but lost a lot of soldiers and horses in vain.

The shuai camp was set up in the Changshe County Palace, settled the army, and Huangfu Song discussed the matter overnight, in addition to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, only Yingchuan Taishou and several school captains participated in the discussion, of course, Liu Ze, who had just arrived from Guangzong, and Sun Jian, who was deeply respected by Zhu Jun. Huangfu Song said: "The Yellow Turban has been besieging Changshe for a month, do you have a good way to break the enemy?" ”

Everyone was silent, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that it was indeed very difficult to fight against the 100,000 troops of the Yellow Turban with the current 30,000 troops of officers and soldiers, that is, relying on the tall walls of the Changshe to barely be able to hold it, but after days of fierce battles, the attrition in the battle was also quite large, and the soldiers were also extremely tired and demoralized. As for the five hundred light horsemen that Liu Ze had just brought over, they were directly ignored by everyone.

Seeing that the generals were silent, Liu Zenai said: "Today, I saw the Yellow Turban camp carefully, although the Yellow Turban is called 100,000, but the enemy is only broken in a moment, there is a plan, but the Yellow Turban can be broken." ”

Zhu Jun was overjoyed and said: "If you have any clever plans, Runde might as well say it bluntly." ”

Liu Ze was about to speak, but Huangfu Song waved his hand and said: "I have also thought of a plan in the past few days, I don't know if it is the same as what Runde thinks, why don't we write the strategy in the palm of our hands, how about Bibi?" ”

At that moment, he ordered his subordinates to take the pen and ink, Liu Ze and Huangfu Song each wrote in the palm of their hands, comparing their fists to one place, Zhu Jun and others also watched, their palms were open, but it was exactly the same word "fire attack", Zhu Jun exclaimed: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing." ”

Huangfu Song laughed heartily and said: "I have been thinking about this plan for a long time, but I didn't expect that Runde would recognize the flaws in the yellow scarf when he arrived at the Changshe today, and it was really terrifying, but-hey! ”

Liu Ze wrote a line of words on several cases, saying: "The general sighed but these eight words? Huangfu looked at it, and several cases were written "Everything is ready, only the west wind is owed", and he was shocked: "Those who know me are also Runde." The Yellow Turban camped according to the grass, which was the best time for the fire attack, but at this time it was the height of summer, and there was rarely a northwest wind, and the Yellow Turban troops and the southeast, if there was no northwest wind to help, this fire would not burn after all. ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "General Huangfu rest assured, although there are many southeast winds in summer, but the northwest wind is not uncommon. ”

Huangfu Song was shocked and said: "Could it be that Runde still has the magic power to call the wind and rain?" ”

Liu Ze has the ability to call for wind and rain, the reason why he asserts that there will be a west wind within ten days is that he remembers this history, Huangfu Song broke the yellow scarf on the fifth day of the first month of June, so naturally there will be a northwest wind on the fifth day of the first month of June. However, Liu Ze didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to say: "Ze Zeng studied under the nameless old man, and the family teacher taught the art of yin and yang celestial phenomena. ”

Huangfu Song said happily: "Sulfur saltpeter and other fire-starting things have already been prepared, just wait for the northwest wind to rise, only sigh and can't wait, if it is winter and spring, the yellow turban will be broken early." ”

"I look at that wave of talent to command the army, by no means mediocre, the reason why he dared to camp according to the grass is to rely on the time, so he will camp in the southeast. If it is winter and spring, the northwest wind is strong, and I am afraid that the wave will be prepared for it early, and it will be more difficult to break the enemy. ”

"If Runde can accurately calculate when there is a northwest wind, it will be a miracle." Huangfu Song praised.

"To perform the art of yin and yang celestial phenomena, you must have no distractions, and I implore the general to find a high ground in the city to set up a tent, and plant a colorful flag around each side to watch the sky change."

Originally, Liu Ze had the intention to build a high platform like Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind, and did a spell to call the wind and rain with great fanfare, but then I thought about it, we are not in the mood and there is no need to be like Zhuge Liang.

But think about it in that era, Zhuge Liang's ability can be regarded as shocking, the three elements of war: time, location, and people, the time of day is in the first place, a person who is good at grasping the time of the day, it is not uncommon to win a few battles. Thinking of this section, Liu Ze suddenly germinated the idea of cultivating some talents who specialize in weather forecasting, so that it will be invincible in the future war.

Regarding Liu Ze's request, Huangfu Song naturally agreed, and immediately sent someone to arrange it, and then Liu Ze retired. Everything in the account is ready, Liu Ze is very satisfied, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are very puzzled, they have been with Liu Ze for so long, and they have not heard that he has any ability to know the yin and yang celestial phenomena.

Zhang Fei said suspiciously: "Big brother, can you really ask for the northwest wind?" ”

Liu Ze smiled without saying a word, sat on the soft couch, lay down on his back facing the sky, and said: "After many battles, the two brothers should also rest, it is rare for General Huangfu to arrange it like this, and I can easily sleep today." ”

"Big brother seems to be confident, but the changes are days, how do ordinary people spend it?" Guan Yu also couldn't believe it.

"Don't worry, the mountain people have their own clever plans, they're too sleepy, let's sleep first." As he spoke, Liu Ze fell asleep in a daze.

In the next few days, Liu Ze didn't go there, just walked around the tent with his hands behind his back, occasionally looking up at the sky. The sun at the beginning of June is quite poisonous, blazing on the earth, and it has not rained for more than a month.

Zhang Fei sat in the shade with his bare shoulders and fanned the big fan, still sweating, while pouring cold water wildly, he complained loudly: "This bad weather, it's really hot!" ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly: "The heart is calm and naturally cool, with your impatient temper, it's no wonder if you are not hot." ”

Zhang Fei glared at the ring and said, "You can still calm down, it's been a few days, and there's wind there?" Seeing if the northwest wind is coming or not, how do you explain it to General Huangfu? ”

Huangfu Song had sent someone to ask a few times earlier, but Liu Ze just asked them to wait for good news, and did not give an exact date. In the past few days, the Yellow Turban Army's offensive has become more fierce, and it is estimated that they are also trying their best to capture Changshe and then find a place to cool off. As a result, the pressure on the defenders of the Changsha has increased greatly, and if the plan of attacking the enemy by fire is not implemented, the Changsha Castle may not last long.

Liu Ze pointed to the white clouds in the sky and said with a smile: "See, it's a cirrus cloud, and the tail hook points to the northwest, and there will be a northwest wind tonight." ”

Where the cloud hook goes, where the wind comes from, the cloud hook is the tail of the cirrus cloud, which appears at high altitude, sometimes there are small hooks at the upper end, sometimes arranged in rows, the small hooks point to the direction of the high-altitude wind, and the high-altitude wind is often associated with the ground wind, so the direction of the wind can be roughly judged by the direction of the cloud hook.

Zhang Fei looked up at the sky, couldn't see the reason for looking at it for a long time, and said wonderingly: "Isn't it just a few white clouds, and it has a half-penny relationship with the northwest wind?" ”
