Immediately, Zhou Yu continued: "In Liu Xun's army, although there are many Jiangdong children, they are good at swimming. But the soldiers were not trained to fight on the water. Practice it. In my guess, it will take at least six or seven months for Liu Xun to train the navy. There's still a lot to be done in the meantime. Moreover, even if Liu Xun succeeds in training the navy, it may not be a strong army. Because we are the leading generals in Jiangdong, we are the first in water warfare. ”

In some words, Zhou Yu said extremely majestic, and the analysis was also in place. In the end, Zhou Yu was even more vigorous.

"Everything depends on the Yangtze River and the Jiangdong generals." Sun Quan's heart also came up when he heard this, took a deep breath, and said.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu and Lu Su were both relieved. They all saw that Sun Quan's heart was not high, and this problem was serious.

So, they worked together to raise Sun Quan's confidence. Now, Zhou Yu's words seem to have paid off.

is still the same sentence, as long as Sun Quan can fight. In this war, it is not yet known who will kill the deer.

And just when Sun Quan raised his confidence, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded.

"Da-da-da-da."

Not long after, a soldier walked in and reported: "Lord, then Liu Xun sent someone to deliver a letter. ”

As he spoke, the soldier held up a letter and handed it to Sun Quan.

But Sun Quan's face showed a strange look.

"Now I am facing off with Liu Xun in the north and south, and I am only one battle away. Liu Xun sent me a letter, I don't know what the purpose is? Sun Quan asked.

"Perhaps, it's persuasion." Lu Su was also strange, but quickly explained.

"Maybe." Zhou Yu also nodded.

"Just open it and see." Lu Su said.

"Yes." Sun Quan nodded when he heard this, and opened the envelope. Then he took out the letter inside, and then opened it to look at it.

At this look, Sun Quan's eyebrows suddenly rose.

I saw that it was written in the letter.

"When I was in Lujiang, I heard that Zhong Mou was happy to hunt. Those who are close to me are guilty of resigning, and Sun Ce is killed. There are 100,000 people in the Imabari water army, and Fang and Zhongmou will hunt in Wu. I don't know how frightened Zhongmou is in his heart? ”

The tone of this letter can be said to be extremely arrogant, and it is so arrogant that it is boundless.

Although Sun Quan seems to be gentle, he is also a brave and ruthless personality, but now the situation is too unbearable, so his confidence is a little lacking. But just because he doesn't have enough confidence doesn't mean his personality has disappeared. If Sun Quan dared to face Cao Cao's million-strong army, it could be seen that Sun Quan was not a cowardly person.

Immediately, Sun Quan shouted, his expression was extremely fierce. "Liu Xun'er, dare to insult me like this, he will crush his bones and scatter ashes one day. ”

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Zhou Yu's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.

"Gong Jin, look." Sun Quan handed the letter to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu got up and took it, but after reading it, not only was he not angry, but laughed and said, "I want to congratulate the lord." ”

Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, and then asked. "How?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile. "Haha, this is Liu Xunzhi's pride, and the villain's ambition is fully displayed. Since it is the villain's ambition, there must be an opportunity. If we defeat Liu Jun, the chances will naturally increase greatly. ”

"I see." Sun Quan was furious in his heart, but after listening to Sun Quan's explanation, he suddenly turned abrupt.

To break Liu Xun, you have to strengthen your momentum first. At this stage, they did not dare to attack Liu Xun in order to repay their hatred.

There is only one reason, and that is that Liu Xun is too strong on land. They did not dare to send troops, and if they were defeated and killed in a fit of rage, it would be too unworthy.

Because of this, the two sides were very peaceful, and time continued to pass until another half a month passed.

On this day, Liu Xun was trying to recall the essence of the Battle of Chibi in his previous life and review it. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I thought of the story of Zhuge Liang's grass boat borrowing arrows. In this case, it seems that you can give it a try, but you have to do it if you think of it, and the cost is not high anyway. It doesn't matter if you can't borrow it, it's just for fun.

Liu Xun was overjoyed and called Huang Xing and other generals. Seeing Huang Xing and them coming, Liu Xun said to Huang Xing with a smile: "General Huang, Ben Taishou has a plan, if you use it, you may gain something, of course, it doesn't matter if you fail." ”

Huang Xing was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly remembered the master's achievements. As long as it is a plan put forward by the lord, no matter how outrageous the plan is, as long as it is implemented carefully, there will definitely be gains at that time.

Because of these battles, Liu Xun basically played the role of strategist and commander, and every time the strategy was successful. Therefore, the generals attach great importance to his schemes.

Huang Xing couldn't help but be a little excited after hearing this, but he still held back his curiosity and waited for Liu Xun's next words.

"That's ......." Liu Xun said: "The bow and arrow are the sharp weapons of the naval army, if Sun Quan has no bow and arrow, I don't know what will happen?" ”

Huang Xingxin said that such a question is too simple, does the lord still have a deep meaning. He immediately extended it, showing his military prowess, and said: "In water warfare, it is impossible for the enemy army to wade through the water. If Sun Quan didn't have a bow and arrow, our army would be able to reflect on the river and easily cross the river. And Sun Quan lost the advantage of the bow and arrow, and our army was able to easily break through his large camp. ”

Liu Xun nodded and said with a smile: "Now I have a plan, which can consume a large amount of Sun Quan's bow and arrow reserves. ”

"What's the strategy?" Huang Xing was immediately excited and immediately asked.

Liu Xun smiled and pretended to be profound, and then said: "If this plan is successful, Sun Quan will definitely lose." ”

Huang Xing's heart was overjoyed, he thought for a while and said: "Lord, please speak out first, and the last general will complete the task for you even if he doesn't want to die." ”

Liu Xun is not a hypocritical person, so he made a wise appearance like Zhuge Liang, stood up and stood with his hands, and said confidently in his words: "This plan is called borrowing arrows from grass boats, just like this...... Tie up the straw man, so and so...... Marching with drums. In the foggy weather, Sun Quan did not know what to do, and he would definitely use arrows to retreat from the enemy's ....... In this way, the goal has been achieved. ”

Huang Xing did not come alone, there were also generals such as Gan Ning and Chen Peng present. Chen Peng immediately smiled and said, "The lord's plan is very good, and when the time comes, he will definitely make Sun Quan dumb but have nowhere to vent his ......." ”

Huang Xing's heart moved, and he also smiled: "The lord will go to the end of this great plan, and he will definitely get nine out of ten." ”

Liu Xun couldn't help but float a little when he was complimented by them, because this was a plan that Zhuge Liang came up with, and he was naturally sure. In addition, the straw boat borrowed arrows, and the loss was not big if it failed. So he said: "Huang Xing, when the straw man is ready, go in the middle of the night, and be sure to choose to ...... when the fog is the thickest." ”

"If" Huang Xing was very excited to receive the order, and immediately went down to prepare.

In the middle of the night, the night was dark, and the fog was so thick that I couldn't see my fingers, and even the person holding the torch couldn't see the person three meters away from the other side clearly.

At this moment, Huang Xing personally led more than 300 elite soldiers to drive more than 100 small boats and quietly sailed to the opposite bank. The boat was full of scarecrows, and in the middle of these scarecrows, there were two rowers, and one person was holding a drumstick in his hand and sitting in the middle of the boat.

They were all covered in armor, and even their heads were tightly covered, and there were scarecrows on both sides to cover them, so there was no danger even when it was time to release the arrows.

On the banks of the river

"Lord, this strategy is too good, and Sun Quan's arrows will definitely be able to deceive when the time comes" Gan Ning said excitedly.

This is Zhuge Kongming's strategy, so Liu Xun is naturally full of confidence, and said: "The fog is thick, Sun Quan will definitely order the arrows to be released if our army will attack the shore defense line." ”

In this way, Liu Xun led everyone to watch Huang Xing's fleet disappear into the fog.

Liu Xun has always been the master of enjoyment, in order to reflect his unfathomable, he specially ordered the attendants to arrange the tables and chairs and seats, and called for fine wine, so that more soldiers in the army can witness the miracle here.

After the wine was configured, Liu Xun beckoned everyone to sit down and said, "Come on, sit down and drink some wine to keep warm, and wait for the good news to ......." ”

The generals have always known that their lord is easy-going, and they are not polite at the moment, so they sit down to drink some wine with Liu Xun, but they look into the river from time to time, but what they can see is white, and they can't see anything clearly.

……

On the fifth watch of the day, Huang Xing led the fleet and gradually came to the center of the river. When he heard about this strategy earlier, he was also skeptical, because this had never happened in the art of war since ancient times. But if this is said by the lord, then there must be no problem. Huang Xing dutifully performed his duties, and when the boats crossed the center of the river, he ordered the boats to line up everywhere.

He beat the drums himself in his own boat, and all the ships listened to the call of his ship, and they beat the drums along with it.

For a time, more than 100 big drums rumbled and the sound of unison was earth-shattering.

Gan Ning, who was on the shore, heard such a hundred drums contending, and there was darkness all around, so he couldn't help but put down his wine glass in horror and said, "Lord, if Sun Quan sends troops to drive a boat to fight, what can he do?" ”

Liu Xun drank the wine in the cup and said very calmly: "Hahaha, Sun Quan has no advantage in troops, he occupies the convenience of the riverbank, and he will definitely not dare to send ships in the thick fog, and he will definitely use bows and arrows to consume the strength of our army." Come on, don't be in a hurry, drink this cup full, and soon news will come. ”

Gan Ning and the others were very weak-hearted, they were not as calm as Liu Xun, and they had already been beaten by the drum at this moment, so they barely raised their wine glasses and drank them all.

Everyone couldn't help but think: "The lord can be calm, that's because the lord is a god, they are not." ”

On the other hand, on the other side of the river, Sun Quan's camp.

The sudden sound of drums and shouts, as if there were endless men and horses about to be killed ashore, really frightened the soldiers of Sun Quan's army, and Lu Su, who was keeping vigil at night, hurriedly flew to Sun Quan.

At this time, Zhou Yu also received the news, and hurriedly came to Sun Quan's big tent.

"Lord, this must be Liu Xun who wants to take advantage of the night to attack our army's riverbank defense line, and immediately send troops and horses to drive a boat to intercept!" Zhou Yu said.

Lu Su disagreed with Zhou Yu's opinion, in his opinion, the dense fog was not conducive to his own defense, and it was also not conducive to Liu Xun's attack. He said, "The fog is thick over the Pan River, and the enemy army suddenly arrives without warning, and I am afraid that there will be an ambush." The ships should not be moved lightly, and the bow battalion should be sent to the shore to shoot them before making plans. ”
