Zhou Yu heard Zhuge Liang say that Nan Ye could call the wind and rain, and his eyes lit up at that time, and most of his illness was gone. If it is said that others will call the wind and rain, Zhou Yu may not believe it, but when it is said that Nan Ye will call the wind and rain, Zhou Yu has no doubt, who made Nan Ye's magic boundless reputation.

Nan Ye saw Zhou Yu looking at him with hopeful eyes, so he said according to Zhuge Liang's strategy: "If Gongjin wants the southeast wind, he can build a high platform on Nanping Mountain, called the Seven Star Altar. The altar was nine feet high, divided into three tiers, and surrounded by one hundred and twenty men holding flags and flags. I can take advantage of the southeast wind for three days and three nights to help Gongjin use his troops? ”

Zhou Yu had no doubt when he heard what Nan Ye said, and said happily: "Mo Dao has three days and three nights, just one night of strong wind, and big things can be done." But there is no time to delay in this matter. ”

Nan Ye had already gotten the news from Zhuge Liang, so he said to Zhou Yu: "Since this is the case that the Seven Star Altar can be built quickly, how about my Jiazi sacrifice on November 20, and Bingyin on the 22nd?" ”

Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and the pain was cured without medicine, and he ordered 500 strong soldiers to build an altar on Nanping Mountain. Another 120 people were allocated to hold the flag and guard the altar, waiting for Nan Ye's dispatch.

Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang chose Nanping Mountain to build an altar in order to build momentum, so that all the generals in Jiangdong would know about it, and secondly, to facilitate evacuation after borrowing the wind. After the two of them came out of the tent, they got on their horses and went to Nanping Mountain to check the terrain, and ordered the soldiers to take the terracotta from the southeast to build an altar.

There is a way that it is easy to do things with many people, and the high platform will be built within a few days. The Seven Star Altar has a radius of twenty-four zhang, and each floor is three feet high, with a total height of nine feet. The bottom layer is planted with twenty-eight star flags, seven green flags in the east, and the shape of a dragon. Seven soap flags in the north are the momentum of Xuanwu. The seven white flags of the West stand at the power of the White Tiger. Seven red flags in the south are in the shape of a red bird. The second layer is planted with 64 yellow flags, according to the 64 hexagrams, divided into eight positions. The third layer uses four people to protect the Dharma, which is Wolong, Feng Xiao, Dian Wei, and Zhou Cang, each of whom wears a hair crown, a soapy robe, a phoenix robe, and a red shoes.

Nanye's large-scale construction was naturally seen by Jiangdong soldiers, and they couldn't help but ask about the use of the high altar. Although Zhou Yu couldn't say anything about the plan of attacking and surrendering, he deliberately spread the matter of Nanye's national teacher ascending the altar to help Jiangdong break Cao, but he just concealed it from Cai Zhong and Cai He's two generals. Although the Jiangdong soldiers didn't know what Nan Ye was going to do, they knew that Nan Ye's national teacher came to help Jiangdong was enough for the soldiers to boost their morale, and they all felt that this victory was a big increase.

A few days passed in a flash, and it was about to be the auspicious day of Jiazi on November 20. Nan Ye bathed and fasted, holding the Yitian Sword and wearing gossip clothes, and came to the stage and ordered: "The soldiers guarding the altar are not allowed to leave their positions without permission. Do not talk to each other. Don't talk nonsense. No fuss. Violators will be killed! ”

After the soldiers received the order, Nan Ye said to Lu Su: "Zi Jing can go to the army to help Gong Jin transfer troops, don't miss the fighter." ”

Lu Su took the order and left, Nan Ye slowly climbed the altar, burned incense on the stove, and then looked up at the sky, and said in his mouth: "Eat grapes without spitting out grape skins, don't eat grapes but spit out grape skins......"

The sergeant guarding the altar couldn't hear what Nan Ye was muttering clearly, but he felt that it was unfathomable. Zhuge Liang was closer to Nan Ye, and it took him a long time to hear clearly, and he almost couldn't help laughing.

After Nan Ye tossed on the altar, he went down to the altar to rest in the tent, and ordered the soldiers to eat in turn. After resting, he went up to the altar again to pray for the wind, up and down several times. The sergeants were accustomed to Nan Ye's actions and did not ask to stop them, but they each held banners, treasure covers, halberds, Changge, Huang Yue, Bai Xuan, Zhu Banners, soap silk and other things around the Seven Star Altar to protect the Dharma on all sides.

Zhou Yu heard Lu Su come to report that Nan Ye had begun to borrow the wind, so he beat the drum and gathered the generals to start transferring troops, and ordered someone to report to Sun Quan to send troops to respond. A moment later, all the generals came to listen.

Huang Gai had already prepared to get off the fire ship at this time, the bow of the ship was densely covered with big nails, the ship was loaded with reed dry firewood, filled with fish oil, covered with sulfur and ignition of fire, and then covered with green cloth oil sheets, the bow of the ship was inserted with a green dragon tooth flag, and the stern of the ship was all tied to the boat, and the tent was waiting for the order.

Zhou Tai and Kan Ze dragged Cai Zhong and Cai He to drink every day in the water village, and did not let go out of the camp to investigate and transmit news, just waiting for Zhou Yu's order.

Zhou Yu saw that all the generals outside the three generals had arrived, so he said to the generals: "Cao thief sent troops to invade the land south of the Yangtze River, and the princes will protect their families and defend the country today." and quickly returned to the camp to pack up the boats, weapons, sails and other things. As soon as the order was issued, the three armies were exhausted. If there is any violation, it will be dealt with according to military law. ”

After the generals were ordered, they grinded their fists one by one and prepared to fight. Zhou Yu had to probe Ma Fei to report that Sun Quan had already exhausted the Jiangdong warship and anchored eighty-five miles away from the village, only waiting for Zhou Yu to start the war and then respond.

Zhou Yu stopped all the arrangements and waited for the southeast wind to rise. I waited from morning to evening, and the breeze was still unmoving. Zhou Yu was anxious in his heart, and said to Lu Su: "In the middle of winter, how can you get the southeast wind? Could it be Nan Ye and Kong Mingyu me? ”

Lu Su said: "The stakes are so high, how dare the national teacher laugh and talk about it?" In my opinion, I am afraid that the power of heaven and earth is unpredictable, so it will be delayed for a while. The Governor need not worry too much. ”

Zhou Yu is right to think about it, the thing of borrowing the wind is not ordinary, how can it be said that borrowing is borrowing, and the time is exactly the same? So I waited patiently until the third watch, and suddenly heard the wind outside the tent. Zhou Yu moved when he heard the wind, went out of the tent to look, and saw the flag fluttering, the flag foot pointing to the northwest, and suddenly the southeast wind rose.

Lu Su pointed to the flag on Zhou Yu's side and said in surprise: "Governor, look!" The southeast wind is blowing! The National Teacher's Avenue is indeed true. ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said in horror: "Nan Ye has the method of seizing the heavens and the earth, and the unfathomable technique of ghosts and gods!" Wolong, Feng Chick's wisdom is never inferior to me. If these three people are left, it will be the root of Jiangdong's troubles. Today's battle is not to be feared, and it is advisable to kill these three people as soon as possible to avoid worries in the future. ”

Lu Su previously blocked Zhou Yu from assassinating Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang because of Cao Cao's great enemy, and now the Cao army will be defeated, and Lu Su will no longer stop Zhou Yu from acting.

Zhou Yu summoned Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, the second generals of the military academy, and said, "You and others will bring three hundred people each." Xu Sheng took the waterway, and Ding Feng went to the Seven Stars Altar in Nanping Mountain from the dry road. When he saw Nan Ye and the others, he beheaded him and took the head to ask for credit. Dian Wei and Zhou Cang will be brave, you don't have to be captured alive, you can shoot with random arrows. ”

Ding Feng and Xu Sheng led the order, each led 300 men and horses, equipped with spears and crossbows, and went to Nanping Mountain. The second general walked against the southeast wind, and Ding Feng's horse army was not limited by the wind and went to the front of the mountain first. I saw the flag-holding soldiers on the altar standing in the wind, and there was no movement. Seeing this, Ding Feng led the troops to the altar with their swords, but he didn't see Nan Ye and the others, so he hurriedly asked the soldiers guarding the altar: "Where are the national teachers and Mr. Kong Ming?" ”

The altar keeper said, "When the wind rises, I have already gone down to the altar to rest." ”

Ding Feng heard the words and hurriedly went down to the altar to search, at this time Xu Shengchuan had already arrived on the shore, and the two of them gathered by the river and did not see Nan Ye and others. I had to call the soldiers to ask. A pawn reported: "General Dian borrowed a clipper and parked at the beach in front of him today, saying that it was used to borrow the wind." I saw that the national teacher waited for the wind to rise, and then went to the ship. ”

When Xu Sheng and Ding Feng heard this, they knew that it was not good, and they hurriedly chased after them by water and drought. Xu Sheng ordered the soldiers to pull up the full sail and ride the wind. Looking at a small boat not far ahead, Xu Sheng shouted loudly on the bow of the boat: "The national teacher and the two gentlemen go slowly!" The Governor is invited! ”

Nan Ye and the others couldn't help but smile when they saw that there were soldiers coming to chase them, Zhuge Liang stood on the bow of the boat and laughed: "You wait to reply to the governor and tell him to use the soldiers well, and I will wait and return to Xiakou and see you in the future." ”

Xu Sheng said: "The governor has something important to say, and he also asks the princes to live less." As he spoke, he urged the boat to move quickly.

Zhuge Liang said to Nan Ye: "Jiangdong soldiers are used to manipulating boats, and sooner or later they will catch up with us and others, and I hope that the national teacher will try to shelter." ”

Nan Ye smiled slightly when he heard this, reached out and took out two cards with a move, and unstuck them on the boat. On the other side, Xu Sheng saw that as soon as the light on the bow of Nanye's ship was released, a giant stood on the bow with a big bow in his hand, which startled Xu Sheng and the Jiangdong sergeant.

After the vulture bone appeared with the flying bow in hand, Nan Ye used his soul control skills, and said to Xu Sheng with a bow and arrow: "I am a vulture bone under the command of the national teacher, you should have been killed with an arrow when you came to chase the national teacher, and I will spare your life in front of General Sun, just let you know my means." ”

Nan Ye controlled the vulture bone and finished speaking, and used his magic shooting skill to shoot an arrow, which hit the sail rope on Xu Sheng's boat, and the sail fell on the water at that time, and the speed of the ship immediately decreased.

Xu Sheng was frightened enough by the arrow of the vulture bone, and the speed of the ship was reduced again, and he could not charge forward, so he ordered the surrounding soldiers to operate the boat to pursue. Seeing that Xu Sheng still didn't give up, Nan Ye controlled the vulture bone to release arrows one after another, only shooting the sail and cable, not the people. Although Xu Sheng had 300 soldiers, there were only 10 ships. After the vulture bone shot ten arrows, the sails fell, and when the Jiangdong sailors hung up the sails, they couldn't catch up.

Ding Feng saw that Xu Sheng's sails were all down on the coast, so he called him to the shore and said: "Guanghua National Master is an unpredictable prophet, and he has the magic of Tongtian, and he also has excellent archery skills of the generals under his command. It's better for me to wait for the opponent or to reciprocate. ”

Xu Shengran said this, so he stopped chasing and returned to see Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu only guarded against Dian Wei and Zhou Cang before, but he didn't expect Nan Ye to have hole cards, so he had to give up for the time being, and then deal with Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang after breaking Cao.

As soon as Nan Ye and the others left, Zhou Yu began to deal with Cao Cao and summoned all the generals to come and receive the order. The first person to be ordered was Zhou Tai, because Zhou Tai had already pretended to surrender to Cao, Zhou Yu ordered Zhou Tai to say: "Youping and take Cai Zhonghe to go along the south bank, and only use the banner of Cao Jun to go to deceive and surrender." When he arrived at the place where Cao Cao was storing grain on the ground of Wulin, he went deep into the army to raise fire. Leave Cai He under the account, I will be useful. ”

Zhou Tai received the order, and Zhou Yu called Zu Mao to order: "You can lead 3,000 soldiers and horses straight to the border of Huangzhou, cut off Cao Cao's troops to meet them, and force Cao's soldiers to fight." When there are many Cao soldiers, you can set fire to the number, and if you see the red flag, the lord will receive the soldiers. ”

These two teams of soldiers and horses went farthest ahead, and the third team was led by Lu Meng with 3,000 soldiers to Wulin to meet Zhou Tai and burn Cao Cao's camp. The fourth team ordered Ling Cao to lead 3,000 soldiers, and went straight to the head of the Yiling Realm to wait for the fire in Wulin, and then raise troops to respond. The fifth team ordered Dong to lead 3,000 soldiers to take Hanyang directly, kill Cao Cao from Hanchuan, and watch the white flag respond. The sixth team ordered Pan Zhang to lead 3,000 soldiers and fly the white flag to Hanyang to meet Dong's attack.

The six teams of men and horses went their separate ways, and Zhou Yu asked Huang Gai to arrange a fireboat, sent a pawn to write to Cao Cao, and agreed to come and surrender tonight. Huang Gai only set fire to it when he arrived, and there were four teams of sailors behind him to take over the battle. They are Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Jiang Qin, and Chen Wu. Each of the four teams led 300 warships, and 20 fireboats were lined up in front, vowing to fight Cao Cao to the death.
