318 Assault
Wang Baoyu understood that Zhuge Liang's words made sense, so he turned around, stepped forward to help Zhou Yu, and said: "Dadu Governor, since ancient times, it is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness who wins in the end, and I am so angry because I am also thinking about the governor. β
"Baoyu, Zhou Yu knows!" Zhou Yu said with moist eyes, it seemed that he did realize that he had done too much, and he personally helped Wang Baoyu on the horse and returned to the camp.
When he came to the camp, Zhou Yu poured tea for Wang Baoyu again, and said with a smile: "I heard about Tai Shici, Baoyu has magical powers, and I hope to rescue Zhou Yu." β
"Governor, are you willing to do what I say?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"A qiΔ Xi Zun Baoyu arrangement." Zhou Yu said without hesitation.
"It's easy to do, but it also requires a lot of sincerity. If you don't have a sincere heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult to work. β
"Gong Jin will do his best!"
"Alright, come with your ears."
Seeing that Zhou Yu was very sincere, Wang Baoyu said his thoughts, Zhou Yu nodded while listening, and immediately started to do it, and a day later, Zhou Yu personally organized a grand memorial for the dead Cao Bing.
Paper money made of oiled paper was scattered all over the river, countless ever-bright lanterns flowed down the river, and the gloomy cumulus clouds in the sky rendered the water surface into the black and gray color of the coffin, and with the cold breeze, forming one small whirlpool after another, like the distorted faces of unjust souls.
Zhou Yu was brave and gentle, but he also trembled when he saw this, and after he stepped on the high platform, he read the eulogy in person with tears in his eyes, and his words were full of remorse, and he sincerely prayed that the dead would rest in peace.
The soldiers of Jiangdong praised and supported the coach for being able to do this, and most of their grievances were reduced.
After Zhou Yu finished this qiΔ, his mood was also a lot more relaxed, and he slept peacefully that night, finally got rid of the nightmare, and gradually improved his spirit.
Wang Baoyu's other idea, Zhou Yu also adopted, he put down his face, personally wrote a letter of apology to Cao Cao, the letter explained the reason for killing the captives, expressed remorse, and praised these soldiers for their unswerving loyalty, as if they were home, thanks to Cao Cao such a good leader.
At the same time, Zhou Yu also sent a strand of his hair, plus a hat of his own, and by the way, he sent a tall stone tablet with three words engraved on it: Qianying Tomb!
Hair and hats are of great significance to the ancients, we will not repeat it here, Cao Cao naturally praised Zhou Yu's approach, and immediately ordered someone to erect this tombstone in front of the tomb where the warriors who crossed the river were buried, and held a memorial event again.
At the same time, Cao Cao also replied to Zhou Yu with a letter, in which he said that the gentleman is frank, can change his mistakes, and is very good, and he is willing to fight with Zhou Yu on the battlefield with their own strength, real swords and guns, and each other will have their own destiny.
A moral crisis about the good and evil of human nature was finally successfully resolved under Wang Baoyu's arrangement, and the soldiers on both sides of the strait were still preparing for war.
Wang Baoyu didn't shirk much, he still led the girls' song and dance troupe, shuttling through the major military camps to relieve the worries and boredom of the soldiers. However, there are more elements of family affection and benevolence in the performances, and the audience is all moved when they see it.
In the early morning of this day, there was a sudden rumbling drum sound from Caoying, and Yu Ban, the governor of the navy, finally couldn't hold back his temperament and launched a strong attack on Jiangdong.
Thousands of warships lined up in a huge square, riding the wind to break through the Lang, surging towards the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the momentum was very terrifying.
On the beacon tower on the south bank, the wolf smoke immediately ignited to the sky, Zhou Yu stood on the high cliff with his head held high, and decisively gave the order to go down, the four-way army was divided into eight roads, respectively, to hold the vital places, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and me, for the time being, do not engage in a water battle on the river with Cao Bing, as long as you desperately hold the checkpoint and resolutely do not let Cao Bing land on the shore.
It was the season of the northwest wind, Cao Bing's warship sailed downwind, and rushed to the south bank in less than an hour, Jiangdong, tens of thousands of soldiers fired arrows together, and a huge rain of arrows greeted the hood, and in an instant, Cao Bing's charging warship was inserted like a hedgehog.
In the battle, casualties were inevitable, and countless Cao soldiers were shot and fell into the water, and most of the Cao army supervised Yu Ban while directing the soldiers to shoot back with arrows, while shouting charging slogans, trying to rush to the shore again and again.
On the Jiangdong side, in addition to bows and arrows, a large number of rolling wooden boulders were also thrown down from a high place with a stone-throwing truck, smashing the soldiers who landed on the shore back into the river again and again, and some of them were also smashed on the boat, leading the capsizing of the big boat. Some boats were hit by too many arrows locally, and the guide increased its weight and slowly sank to the bottom of the river.
The battle lasted for a day and a night, the tenacious Cheng dΓΉ of the Jiangdong soldiers, beyond Yu Ban's imagination, the river along the coast was dyed red a large area, a small number of Cao soldiers who landed on the shore, were also effectively blocked by the Jiangdong soldiers, after all, it still collapsed, and it was difficult to become a scale.
In a short period of time, Cao's soldiers are not enough to land on the shore, but Zhou Yu, who has been fighting for a long time, is full of melancholy, Cao Cao's sailors this time are more than 200,000 people, and the dead and wounded are a small number after all.
Yu Ban also thinks so, so he has been commanding the soldiers to attack with all their might, as long as they land on the shore, they will not be far from victory!
In the face of so many Cao soldiers, Wang Baoyu also felt frightened, and even thought about where to escape to be more secure, Fan Jinqiang joined Gan Ning's camp, while bravely retreating from the enemy, he was also thinking about the time when the army was difficult to resist, he should quickly take Wang Baoyu to escape here to ensure the life of his good brother.
But what everyone never understood was that Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, walked to drink tea and read books, and looked peaceful, as if he didn't take Cao Bing's attack seriously at all.
During the war, a five-member group meeting was held temporarily, and Zhou Yu asked anxiously: "Everyone, Cao Bing is so powerful, is there a good way to retreat from the enemy?" β
"The veteran is willing to ask for his life, personally lead the water army, and go to fight with the Cao army head-on!" Cheng Pu got up and said.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he shook his fan and smiled slightly.
"Alas, old general, I don't want to fight in the water, but in fact, the disparity in strength is too great." Zhou Yu frowned and did not agree to Cheng Pu's request.
"Dadu Governor, why don't we join forces in one place, attack the weak points of Cao's army, and mess up its position?" Lu Su also put forward his own ideas.
Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly when he heard the fan again.
"Cao Bing's warships are lined up in a phalanx, echoing from end to end, how can there be any weaknesses?" Zhou Yu disagreed.
"Baoyu, what do you think?" Cheng Pu asked.
Wang Baoyu spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I am a deputy governor in charge of pre-war mobilization, and I will not lead troops to fight at all!" β
