On December 3, the thirteenth year of Jian'an, at the beginning of the sunrise and the last eclipse, the sky seemed to be bright, the fog on the river was boundless, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in gray.

The whistling north wind blows the surface of the Yangtze River, and the rolling Xiangjiang River flows into Yunmengze from south to north.

As the confluence of a large number of medium and large rivers such as the Xiangjiang River, the Yangtze River, the Zijiang River, and the Yuanjiang River, Yunmengze has a wide geographical area, a wide water area, and the river waves are vast like smoke, and it seems to be an endless ocean from afar.

Baqiu Township, Dongfeng Lake, Jijia Lake, Chengyu Lake, Maojiayan Lake, Bajiao Lake and other places in the north of Yueyang in the Han Dynasty, are still connected to Yunmengze at this time, and only the mountains on the bank of the river are continuous.

In later generations, on a high mountain called Hongshan on the south bank of Bajiao Lake, a beacon watchtower was built. The watchtower was manned by a group of men, and the captain had been on duty last night, and after eating some dry food at the end of the day, he handed over to his soldiers and lay down in a hay hut they had set up to rest.

There was still a fire burning in the shed, and one of the two soldiers who had just taken over was watching into the distance from the watchtower, and the other was still adding firewood to the fire. In normal times, it can heat up some dry food and water, and it can be very useful when it is critical.

"It's too dark to see anything." The lookout man standing on the watchtower kept looking intently at the hillside to the north of Basho Lake, but because of the sky, he couldn't see anything.

The soldier who lit the fire below said casually: "Stupid, watch the fire at night and light a cigarette during the day, you just need to look at the fire over there, don't you know this bit of common sense?" ”

The lookout was unconvinced: "Of course I know, but the river is too big, not to mention the fire, even if the whole mountain burns, you can't see the fire." ”

"It's really foggy today."

The soldiers who were burning the fire below got up and climbed to the watchtower, frowned, and said, "But the fog is so big, Jiangdong shouldn't be attacking." ”

"No one is going to sail on a foggy day."

The lookout shrugged, his gaze still wandering in the distance.

Since Bajiao Lake is connected to the Yangtze River, Shen Chen has set up beacon towers along the coast to monitor the situation on the river at any time.

It's just that the fog is dense today, not to mention the river, even the beacon towers they placed in other places can't be seen clearly, and the way of transmitting information by lighting fires at night and lighting cigarettes during the day cannot be implemented at all.

However, because of the heavy fog, it is common sense that it is impossible for the fleet to sail on the extremely complex surface of the river, and if it accidentally drives to the shore, the fleet will immediately run aground.

Therefore, although the soldiers on the watchtower still carried out their tasks seriously, they all believed that it was unlikely that Koto's fleet would sail in such weather.

"Forget it, I'll go to the big one."

The lookout hand went down from the tower, these days has been staying in this deep mountain and old forest, people are almost crazy, only when they go to the toilet can walk around, it can be regarded as breathable.

The soldier who had just gone up took his place and said lazily: "Be careful, there are bears and tigers in the nearby mountains, don't be taken away." ”

"Boom!"

As soon as his words fell, there were all kinds of rustling sounds in the forest next to him.

The lookout hand was full of excitement, and he hurriedly looked at it, and saw that in the forest about half a mile away, there were more than a dozen birds crossing the white mist, soaring into the sky, and complained for a while: "It turned out to be birds, it scared me." ”

As he spoke, he had already climbed to the bottom of the watchtower, walked more than a hundred meters along the small hill on the right, and burrowed into the grove.

What the team didn't know was that at this moment, below the small hill to the east of them, where the birds had just crossed the white mist, some people were quietly approaching the bottom of the hillside.

The men noticed that the wood had been cut down all around the hillside, and since the watchtower had to be in a prominent position and at the highest point, it was easy for them to see the tower hidden in the fog, but they had not yet moved, but only looked at it from afar.

"There's only one on the tower."

The leader of the team was a sturdy man, burly and powerful, wearing a coarse cloth short coat, staring at the hillside with a blazing gaze, this person was Lu Meng.

Historically, Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes and sent people to capture all the soldiers of the watchtower beacon towers along the river, because these watchtower beacons must be built at the highest point along the river, there is no concealment, and they can be seen at a glance, so they are easily caught by them.

At this time, Lü Meng obviously planned to repeat the old tricks, these days they often sent people disguised as fishing boats to explore along the river, remembering the location of these watchtower beacons, taking advantage of today's fog, one by one, to pave the way for the fleet.

An adjutant general beside Lu Meng said, "Captain, will they all be in that wooden shed?" The soldiers of the previous beacon tower lived in the field at will, and this platform was made into a wooden shed to obscure the view. ”

"Even if it is a wooden shed, normally there should be two people in charge."

Lu Meng thought for a while and said: "Shen Chen has always been disciplined, there must be two people on the beacon tower before, unless you go to Gong temporarily, it is impossible to be so slack, let's wait patiently, maybe Gong Gong." ”

"Understood."

The adjutant nodded, pressed his hand down on the soldiers behind him, and motioned for them to be quiet and wait quietly.

At the same time, in the Shen Chen military camp in Baqiu Township.

Early in the morning, before the soldiers got up, the back kitchen of the barracks had already started to cook on the fire.

Shen Chen also got up.

He read the official documents until midnight yesterday, and did not wake up until the end of sunrise, so he put on a coat and prepared to go out to relieve himself.

As soon as he opened the curtain of the tent, Shen Chen was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be fog today.

"When did the fog start?"

Shen Chen immediately asked the guards on duty beside him.

The guard said: "General Hui, it should be around Pingdan this morning." ”

"Why didn't you wake me up? Didn't I say that if it gets foggy at night, you must notify me? ”

Shen Chen frowned.

The guard hurriedly said: "But last night the moon and stars were sparse, and there was no fog, it was in the morning, because the sky was too dark, and it was not clear at first, until the fog was thick, thinking that it would soon disperse in the morning, so I didn't dare to report to the general." ”

"No matter when the fog rises, you have to call me, you guys go to get the five military sticks, and the chief leads the ten military sticks, remember this lesson, understand?"

Shen Chen said sharply.

The guard's heart sank, and he hurriedly bowed his head: "Only! ”

"But now is the time of war, the military stick should be remembered first, if you fight bravely in battle, you can be exempted, and there will be a heavy reward."

Shen Chen patted the guard on the shoulder and said: "Go and send a message to the governor of Sudu, and ask him to send a tun of men and horses to the north, along the river to change the guards of the beacon tower, they have been stationed on the bank of the river for seven or eight days, and the dry food they brought is only ten days, it should be used almost the same, and it should be exchanged for it." ”

"Yui!"

When the guard heard that there was no need to fight for the time being, he was very grateful, and he was busy with a few subordinates and ran in the direction of the north gate of the camp, preparing to go to Su Fei's camp in the north to deliver the message.

Looking at his departing back, Shen Chen turned around and continued to find a place to relieve his hands.

Now the main force of Jiangdong has occupied Shaxian, Xiakou, Zhouling and other places, and they are pretending to attack Yicheng along the Han River to the north and attack Liu Bei's rear.

But Shen Chen knew they wouldn't do it.

Because they dared to do this, Shen Chen dared to copy their back road, as long as Xia Kou was knocked down and the back road of the Jiangdong Navy Division was cut off, Sun Quan would completely collapse.

Don't look at Xiangyang Zhang Yun and tens of thousands of people, but first, they are all rabble, second, they can't let Sun Quan into the city, and third, they won't give them grain and grass. At that time, there was no follow-up supply, and Sun Quan faced the joint attack of Liu Bei and Shen Chen, and he was dead.

Even if you look for Cao Cao, it's useless.

Unless Cao Cao loses his mind and goes crazy, doesn't want the north, and brings all his more than 100,000 troops, otherwise, the situation will become Liu Bei's main force surrounds Zhang Yun around Xiangyang, Shen Chen cuts off Sun Quan's back road south of the Han River, Cao Cao occupies Nanyang at most, and he can't enter Nanjun and Jiangxia, and Zhang Yun and Sun Quan will be finished at that time.

Therefore, to a certain extent, deliberately letting Xia Kou out is actually a trap for Sun Quan, if he is really fooled, Shen Chen will have to wonder if Sun Quan's IQ is negative.

And because Xiangyang Liu Bei suppressed Zhang Yun's situation, Sun Quan couldn't fight anywhere, and went north to Xiangyang, and Baqiu could copy their back road. Attacking Gangneung, Baqiu can copy their back road. South to Jingnan? That's even worse, Baqiu is on the way south to Jingnan.

Therefore, no matter where you go, you will be restrained by Baqiu, who is convenient for the north-south communication, and in the end, Sun Quan will definitely come to attack Baqiu.

Soon Su Fei got Shen Chen's order and immediately sent a tun of men and horses north to take over Jiang Fang.

And Hongshan is here.

Lu Meng had been waiting for three quarters of an hour.

Didn't wait for anything.

It turned out that the soldier kicked the quilt when he was sleeping yesterday and caught a cold, and he had diarrhea, and every time he had just finished pulling and had not come back, his stomach was making trouble again, and he had to continue to squat in the woods.

Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, Lu Meng was finally convinced that someone might have deserted, one soldier, four people were sleeping, and one person was on duty.

"Captain, it seems that the soldiers under Shen Chen's command are not all disciplined, now that the sky is almost dawn and the fog is about to disperse, our fleet may already be about to set off, if we don't do it again, we may be detected."

The lieutenant general looked at the sky, it was already three o'clock in the morning, that is, eight o'clock in the morning, although the fog had not completely dissipated, the sky had already brightened, and the visibility and vision were clearer.

They are all veterans who inhabit the Yangtze River, and they know that this kind of winter fog usually dissipates at the end of the morning eclipse to the end of the corner.

At present, the Jiangdong fleet is stationed in the area south of Chibi Wulin, more than 100 miles away from Baqiu.

According to their usual speed of going against the river, it takes about three hours to reach Baqiu, but in winter, the north wind blows along the Yangtze River, and their boat direction is from north to south, and two hours against the wind should be enough.

If the beacon towers along the coast cannot be dealt with immediately, by the time the Jiangdong fleet arrives, it will be almost the end of the day, and the fog will definitely dissipate and the fleet will be discovered.

Lu Meng raised his head to look at the sky and asked, "How far is this place from Bachu?" How far is it from Chibi. ”

"It is thirty or forty miles away from Baqiu, and more than 100 miles away from Chibi."

"How many beacons are there?"

"Two."

The lieutenant replied.

The beacon tower of the Great Wall of Qin is generally five to ten miles each, while the beacon tower along the Yangtze River depends on the mountain.

So sometimes one or two miles, sometimes four or five miles, and even sometimes more than ten miles and nearly twenty miles before one, there is no fixed number.

Hearing that there were only two beacons behind him, Lu Meng waved his hand and said, "Up!" Be quick! ”

"Up!"

The adjutant immediately rushed out of the grass with a cat, and rushed towards the hillside with more than a dozen people.

But their luck was clearly not good.

Originally, their direction was behind the beacon tower, and the soldiers above kept their backs to them, looking at the river.

But when the lieutenant was less than fifteen feet near, the soldier suddenly turned back.

This has not happened before.

However, due to the problem of the sky, the beacon tower has a fire pit lighting, and they can use the fog and sky cover to slowly approach the side, and then attack suddenly.

However, now that it was dark, the field of vision and visibility had increased dramatically, and the soldiers on the watchtower could vaguely see that there were more than a dozen vague figures approaching the hillside behind them.

"Tongue!"

Before the enemy could utter the word, a cold arrow pierced the void and landed the soldier in the neck.

The soldier's head tilted and he collapsed limply in the watchtower.

The vice-admiral was stunned and did not dare to move.

Lu Meng retracted his bow and glared at the deputy general, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing in a daze, quickly!" ”

"Yui."

The adjutant general continued to go up in a hurry.

The three soldiers who fell asleep in the wooden shed were on duty last night, and they had not slept for long and did not wake up at all.

Soon the adjutant general led people up to cut it down, and the beacon tower was occupied.

"Captain, there are only four of them."

The adjutant general was horrified.

Lu Meng was also taken aback, and immediately said: "Let the soldiers disperse and search!" ”

"Yui."

The lieutenant general hurriedly ordered his men to search.

They took more than 200 people with them and dispersed.

Soon less than a quarter of an hour later, someone reported that fresh Yoneda Kyoshi had been found in the forest on the right, but no one was visible.

Lu Meng immediately knew that the matter was revealed, gritted his teeth and said: "There is a soldier who has escaped, I can't let him report the news, come with me, immediately go and forcibly raid the last two beacon towers, you must be in front of that person!" ”

"Yui."

The soldiers hurriedly agreed and followed him to raid twenty or thirty miles away, leaving two beacon towers.

And at the same time.

The Jiangdong Army camp located in the Chibi area, after the fog on the river cleared a lot, Zhou Yu had already reorganized his team and was ready to set off.

Lu Su stood on the surface of the river, watched the soldiers start to board the ship one after another, and whispered to Zhou Yu, who was wearing a red cloak and majestic beside him: "Last night was still a sparse moon and stars, but I didn't expect it to be like this morning, so that we can successfully pull out their beacon tower." ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Shen Chen thought that he would have a favorable location by occupying Baqiu, but he didn't know that the north wind was strong in winter, and we took a boat south from Chibi in Jiangbei, the speed was far beyond his imagination, and within two hours, he would be able to raid Baqiu, which caught him off guard!" ”

Lu Su arched his hand and said: "Then I wish Gongjin a victory!" ”

"Hahahaha."

Zhou Yuhao magnified and laughed: "Heaven bless, give me the fog, protect me quickly!" Shen Chen, in this battle, I will let you be buried at the bottom of the river! ”

Between heaven and earth, the fog became thinner.

The current situation is, tinnitus in the right ear, cough, drowsiness, palpitations, listlessness and so on. Envy good brother soy sauce, he doesn't have a. Another good brother, Luo Xiaoming, has been suffering from a fever that is much more serious than mine, and I hope he can get better soon.
