However, it was said that Zhou Yu saw that Zhuge Liang actually used the river to deceive more than 100,000 enemy arrows, and he couldn't help but be jealous and hateful. However, considering that the joint resistance to Cao is the established strategy to resist a strong enemy, and the current great enemy, we should focus on the overall situation, that is, bring Zhuge Liang into the account, set up a banquet to celebrate, and discuss the plan to destroy the enemy.

The two of them each wrote the word "fire" in the palm of their hands, stretched out at the same time, looked at each other, and laughed.

Lu Su watched from the side and was surprised: "It's really the same as what heroes see." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Since the two of us have seen the same, there is no doubt about it, fortunately there is no leakage." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The two official affairs, how can there be a reason to leak it. I expect that although Cao Cao has made this plan twice, he will not be prepared for it when he sees that it is a water battle. ”

While he was talking, the person reported: "Someone asked to see Lu Su." ”

Lu Su greeted him, and the two hurriedly wiped off the word "fire" in their palms.

Suddenly, Lu Su is intriguing.

Zhuge Liang looked at Pang Tong and pretended not to know.

Lu Su introduced: "This is Xiangyang Pang Tong, the word Shiyuan, and the number Phoenix Chick. After Liu Cong surrendered to Cao, he avoided chaos from Jingzhou. I introduced to Wu Hou, turned it into a meritorious Cao, and now I am ordered by Wu Hou to come to help. ”

Pang Tong Shi Libi: "To avoid chaos so far, Duomengzi respectfully recommends it, dare not serve his life?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "I have heard that Shiyuan is famous, and since Meng Zijing recommends it, he must have a clever plan to break the enemy." ”

Pang Tong said: "The governor has already got a plan to break the enemy, why do you ask me? ”

Zhou Yu asked in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

Pang Tong looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Those who can sit next to the governor must be masters." A superior person must have a high view, otherwise wouldn't he sit here in vain? ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly asked someone to sit beside him, politely let Pang Tong take a seat, and introduced: "This is Mr. Zhuge Kongming, Liu Bei's military teacher." ”

After Pang Tong sat down, he said: "It turned out that he was a master of Wolong, who had the talent of the heavens and latitudes and the wisdom of making fire in the river, no wonder he could play with fire in the palm of his hand, and he burned Cao Jun twice, and was treated as a guest by the governor. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Shi Yuan Mo wants to make fun of it. Sun and Liu's two families jointly resisted Cao, and Shiyuan had entered Shijiangdong, so he should take it as a matter of strength to break Cao, and he was willing to hear the clever strategy. ”

Pang Tong said: "With Wolong here, what can I do? I'm afraid that the governor will be troubled by Kong Ming's fire attack strategy. ”

Zhou Yu was shocked: "Why are you tired?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Kong Ming plays with fire on land, borrows wood to make fire, such as eating a light meal, it is easy to come by hand, and it can be said that it is effortless." And the governor plays with fire on the water, the water can extinguish the fire, the water surface of the river, the torch is difficult to survive, even if the fire is on the boat, a boat is on fire, the rest are scattered, and it is difficult to hurt the general. ”

Pang Tong further analyzed that there was nothing wrong with a fire attack on the water, and Cao Cao would definitely not have expected it, if he could teach him to link the warships together, nail them into one place, and then set the ship on fire. The key is, how can Cao Cao be convinced, how can he approach the warship to lead the fire to the ship, and there are also problems such as the direction of the wind, and if he doesn't get it right, he will play with fire and set himself on fire.

After analysis, Pang Tong said: "Fire attack on the water is indeed a good strategy. It's just that the war is changing rapidly, and there are both inevitable and accidental. Moreover, Cao Cao is eloquent and strategic, although he is not informal, and does not pay much attention to the details, but he has many strategists, and it is inevitable that he will not be recognized. If you want to succeed in the fire attack, you must design step by step, so that the calculations are connected and interlocked; The implementer of each link must be loyal and courageous, but also alert and sensitive; If one move is not careful, one plan is wrong, and one person makes a mistake, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and all the work will be lost. In this way, as a unified commander, the governor must not only command the officers and men of his headquarters in a proper manner, but also dispatch the enemy army into the trap set by him, and he will inevitably have to take painstaking and painstaking efforts, work day and night, sleep and eat, and have no time to be at peace. ”

Zhou Yu listened to it and was very convinced: "Sun Liu united to break Cao, I should do my best to fulfill my responsibilities, and I am not afraid of death, how dare I be idle?" It's just that Fu Shiyuan went to Cao Ying to implement a series of plans, and he succeeded. ”

Pang Tong gladly accepted.

Lu Su said: "Cao Cao is cunning, how to get it, and how to believe it? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The governor has his own clever plan, and he can do it." ”

Zhou Yu taught people to arrange for Pang Tong to live temporarily in the thatched hut next to the small nunnery behind the West Mountain, and taught him to do this and so, and wait for the opportunity.

Zhuge Liang said goodbye to Zhou Yu and went to the grass house with Pang Tong.

Pang Tong said: "Zhou Lang is indeed handsome, but he is narrow-minded. As the saying goes, 'one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers', Brother Kong Ming is careful here. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "When Cao is broken, I have my own plan to get out. Shi Yuan went this time, and the one who could see through it, Xu Yuan was also straight. ”

Pang Tong said: "Cao Cao forced Yuanzhi's mother to death, although he can see through it, he will not tell it." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "In this fire attack, the Cao army will inevitably be burned, and Yuan Zhi is in danger, so he should be taught to leave the Cao camp in advance." ”

Pang Tong said: "When the time comes, it's time to see the opportunity." ”

As Pang Tong expected, the fire attack on the water is easy to say, but it is not easy to implement.

Zhou Yu shouldered a heavy responsibility, did not dare to slack off, and began to design and implement the strategy of each link of the fire attack plan.

It happened that Cao Cao used a trick to send Cai Mao's younger brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He to falsely surrender to Zhou Yu on the grounds that Cao Cao killed his brother Cai Mao to deliver the news.

Zhou Yu saw that the two did not bring their families, and knew that it was a fraud, so he planned to make a plan, and beat Huang Gai with the Cai brothers in front of the generals, which can be described as: Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.

The bitter meat trick concealed the Cai brothers and asked them to report to Cao Cao. After many interrogations, it was confirmed by the Cai brothers that Cao Cao's trust was deceived and ordered to return to Jiangdong to agree on the signal and date with Huang Gai. It was also when Jiang Gan went to Jiangdong again, and was deliberately arranged by Zhou Yu to go to the small nunnery behind the West Mountain, so as to get close to Pang Tong, who was temporarily living in a thatched hut.

Jiang Gan visited the grass hut at night, talked with Pang Tong, and persuaded him to return to Cao.

Of course, Pang Tong was willing, so he went down the mountain with Jiang Gan overnight and smuggled across the river.

Jiang Gan took the initiative to ask Ying last time and went to Jiangdong to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender to Cao, but instead stole the book and led Cao Cao to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

Although Cao Cao knew the plan, he did not say anything, only said that the two of them neglected military law, resulting in the defeat of Sanjiangkou, so he was killed.

Jiang Gan thought that he had merit, and asked Ying to go to Jiangdong again to persuade Zhou Yu.

Cao Cao thought that although Jiang Gan was known for his eloquence, he was a clown who had not achieved enough and had more than enough failures, and it was useless to stay by his side, so he agreed to go to Jiangdong, even if he could not persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, he could confuse Zhou Yu's hearing and hearing, and he did not want to attract Pang Tong, a famous man from Xiangyang who avoided Jiangdong.

Cao Cao Sixian was thirsty, and personally went out of the account to welcome in: "I have heard Mr. Jiu's name, and now I have to patronize him, and I hope to give him advice." ”

Pang Tong said: "I have heard that the prime minister has used the army well, and I am fortunate to see it today, and I would like to see the army." ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered the preparation of horses and invited Pang Tongtong to inspect the dry village.

Pang Tong looked at Cao Cao's climb and couldn't help but praise: "The mountains are close to the forest, looking forward to the front and back, and relying on each other left and right; There is a door in and out, and the advance and retreat are orderly, that is, the ancient military strategist Tian Sui Tho returned to use the army, and the famous generals Sun Bin and Wu Qi regenerated the formation, which is nothing more than that. ”

Cao Cao said: "Mr. has a good reputation, and he still hopes to advise." He also led Pang Tong to inspect the water village.

Pang Tong looked at the water village, to the south of the twenty-four gates, all with a big boat outside the city as a wall, the small boats in Tibet shuttled back and forth, the ups and downs were orderly, the advance and retreat were appropriate, and it was a praise: "The prime minister used the troops so much, and it really deserved his name." Then he pointed to Jiangnan and shouted: "Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang, Keri will die!" ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, returned to the village to drink wine with Pang Tong, discussed the art of war together, saw Pang Tong talking eloquently, responded like a stream, more respectful, and treated each other diligently.

When the wine was half-drunk, Pang Tong pretended to be drunk and asked: "I don't know who is in command of the water army, and he actually defends the water village so exquisitely?" ”

Cao Cao said: "The navy is now led by Mao Jue and Yu Ban. ”

Pang Tong pretended to be displeased: "Why did the prime minister deceive me?" ”

Cao Cao was puzzled: "According to the truth, how can you deceive each other?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Mao Yu Mao filial piety, so he has the reputation of 'Qing Gong', strategic planning is understandable, to say that the battle against the enemy, really dare not compliment; Yu Ban Yu Wen fought bravely and resolutely on land and the most dignified, to say that command of water warfare, it may not be possible." The prime minister's water village is so exquisitely defended, it is definitely beyond the ability of the two of them. ”

Cao Cao said: "It's not a secret, the water village was originally set up by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, but it was beheaded for neglecting military law, and it was replaced by Mao Jue and Yu Ban. ”

Pang Tong pretended to be surprised: "No wonder it's so exquisite." Cai Mao and Zhang Yun lived in Jingzhou for a long time to be in charge of the naval army, and they were familiar with the habits of the naval army, but they did not know that the northern soldiers were not satisfied with the southern water and soil. I think that Zhou Langjiu trained the navy in Poyang Lake, and if he was informed of the scene of the village, it would be very easy to break it. ”

Cao Cao said: "The day before yesterday, Zhou Yu came to peep, and I am afraid that he already knows. ”

Pang Tong was shocked: "Although Zhou Lang is narrow-minded and narrow-minded, he is an elite who plays with water, if he is identified as a loophole, he is looking for a void and attacking, and the water village does not move, he will sit and wait to die; If it moves, the water surface of the river, the tide rises and falls, the water is high and the waves are high, the bumps are endless, and it is easy to get seasick. ”

Cao Cao was anxious because the sergeants were not accustomed to the water and soil, vomiting and disease, and there were many dead.

Pang Tong said: "You can make the sergeants abandon the ship and go ashore, ask for good doctors for prevention and treatment, and then withdraw the army to the north, and still save the lives of the soldiers." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his face changed abruptly.
