Since the defeat of Zhang Liao in the battle method of the ship, the period of the coalition army was very high.

After all, such a heavy defeat to Lu Lin's army and the capture of so many warships and ordnance are really a relief for the poor and crazy coalition army.

But within a few days of the good days, the morale of the army was low again, and it was even lower than before, and there were even deserters in the barracks.

Because then they lost two games in a row.

This first battle was almost the same scale as the previous battle against Zhang Liao, and the situation was similar, but they were defeated, because the opposite side also used the method of ship warfare.

Moreover, their ships are even more exaggerated, the ships and fighting ships are all five connected, and the ships are like a city wall under the impact, and the five connected fighting ships can shoot arrows like a rain, and the shield soldiers cannot stop them.

In such a situation, there was a big battle between the two sides, and Cai Mao was of course defeated, who would have expected that he would even connect five ships opposite each other.

This is actually the limit of the opposite, after all, the so-called connection of all the warships is of course not all the warships in the literal sense, these warships are usually docked at the ferry behind the water wall, so he has to bear the limit of width if he needs to drive out.

The width of the five ships connected is actually equivalent to that of a building ship, but it is just enough to pass through, and no more can enter and exit the water village.

Cai Mao went back and informed the situation, Cao Cao did not punish him, of course, for Cai Mao's proposal that they also come to five ships, of course, was rejected, Cao Cao no matter how stupid he was, he understood that everyone connected the warships was equivalent to giving the infantry a chance to fight closely, and the advantage of the navy would be gone.

Therefore, Cai Mao can't be blamed for this defeat, and it is reasonable to be exempt from punishment.

However, at the same time, the coalition forces also issued an armistice order, and no one was allowed to fight until they thought of breaking the ship, so morale was inevitably low.

Especially for several days in a row, Lu Lin's sailors scolded their mothers outside the village, but they were still indifferent and did not dare to go out, and the soldiers were even more panicked.

The morale of the army is low, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei can't help but be excited, the other party really fell for it, then, there is only the third step left.

On this day, in the tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao, Xun You, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Sun Ce were discussing the troops, which was nothing more than a matter of perfecting some details of the counteroffensive, but in fact, everyone was thinking about the little trick in their hearts.

Cao Cao thought about how to quickly counterattack after the defeat of Lu Lin's army, whether to start with Sizhou, or to take the lifeblood of the Central Plains and take back his own territory, which needs to be carefully considered;

Liu Bei thought about how to quickly eat the entire territory of Jiangxia after Lu Lin escaped, because it was originally his own territory, and there were still two million stone military rations and a large number of ordnance in Xiling City, if he could get his hands on it, then it was not a joke that he could immediately expand the army by more than 150,000, and he was still afraid of you Cao Cao when the time came?

This is probably Sun Ce's simpler, only he is thinking about how to kill Lu Bu and Lin Mo after Lu Lin's defeat, avenge Sun Quan, avenge Jiangdong Erlang who died in battle, and even Huang Zu can be thrown aside first, and the lives of both of them must be left behind.

Of course, there is another important reason involved here, as long as Lu Lin dies in his own hands, the six counties of Jiangdong, which originally belonged to him, will automatically return to his hands.

Just as everyone was in a dream, a gust of wind blew outside the tent, blowing out the oil lamp in the tent.

An ordinary thing made Cao Cao's eyes widen and his cheeks twitch in an instant, as if he was extremely surprised, and at the same time with a sense of despair.

"General Cao, what's going on?" Liu Bei asked puzzled.

"It's a northwest wind, it's a northwest wind"

Cao Cao, who has always been Mount Tai collapsed and his color remained unchanged, said in a frightened tone at this moment: "We have all missed the direction of the wind, this season there is only the northwest wind, there is no southeast wind, so how to burn the ship!" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the tent gasped.

Just now, everyone was looking forward to the beautiful vision of what kind of fruits they would reap after Lu Lin's defeat after the burning of the serial boat, but Cao Cao's words were like a slap in the face, and everyone woke up from their dreams.

"I've thought of everything, how come I just forgot the wind direction!" Sun Ce also got up slowly with his teeth chattering, his face full of disbelief.

So many deployments have been made in front, and it has taken great pains to arrange ships to induce Lu Lin's naval army, and for this reason, many soldiers have been killed, just in exchange for this once-in-a-lifetime fighter plane that captured Lu Lin.

But at this juncture, he realized that this plan would not work at all, and Cao Cao even felt that the blood and qi in his body were surging.

Of course, as long as you can survive until the beginning of spring, there will be a southeast wind, but the question is whether Lu Lin will give him a chance, now that the morale of the army is low and the soldiers have no will to fight, Lu Lin outside is coming to challenge every day.

When the time comes, they're about to launch a general attack.

This is almost the last chance.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang chuckled, this laughter was full of incomparable confidence, although the voice was small, but it was extremely harsh in the Chinese military tent where despair spread.

"You're still laughing!" Although the strategy was made by Xun You, you Zhuge Liang didn't find this problem!

"General Cao, don't blame it."

Zhuge Liang smiled and bowed his hand, and then said slowly: "In the next year, I had to meet strangers in the early years, and he gave me the art of Qimen Dunjia, once it is unleashed, I can call the wind and rain."

In the practice of climbing Qingyue Mountain, borrowing a night of east wind for the coalition forces, you can solve your urgent needs at that time. ”

Calling for wind and rain to borrow the east wind?

Of course, this is a great thing, but it sounds too unbelievable, so that even Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang with some surprise, of course, the clever plan on weekdays is powerful, but it is under the definition of mortal body after all.

When ascending the altar and instigating the heavens, this is among the immortals.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Everyone looked at Zhuge Liang in a daze, and after a long time, Cao Cao slowly got up and slowly walked towards Zhuge Liang.

During this process, his eyes were always staring at Zhuge Liang.

"Is that serious, sir?"

"There is no joke in the army."

Zhuge Liang knew that he who had been humiliated by Lin Mo could not sell Guan Zi now, so he immediately promised: "If you can't borrow the east wind, you can behead me!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei's heart sank, is he really so sure?

Sun Ce looked at Zhuge Liang sideways, and his heart was full of emotion, at this moment, he remembered Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin once upon a time, and he was as confident as him.

Cao Cao paced back and forth in front of Zhuge Liang with his hands on his back, and stood in front of him for a while, without saying much nonsense, "Are you willing to make a military order?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently, turned around and summoned the master of the army, and wrote a military order in front of everyone: Ten days later, borrow a night east wind for the coalition army, the wind rises, and the wind stops at noon the next day.

After struggling to write, he threw his pen in a chic manner, and greeted everyone with awe-inspiring eyes.

"Then it's up to you, sir."

With Cao Cao's hands arched, after making a big salute, Xun You, Cheng Pu, Sun Ce and even Liu Bei all followed suit, which belonged to the bow and worship, and it was from the heart.

Although I don't believe it 100% in my heart, I know who is okay and will joke with my head.

At this time, he was already in a desperate situation, and Zhuge Liang was willing to make a military order, so gamble.

Everyone who sat down again was in a much better mood at this time, but when they looked at Zhuge Liang again, there was always a touch of complexity in their eyes.

"Kong Ming, when did you learn this method, why did you never tell me?" Liu Bei couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"My lord, just wait for ten days, and I won't let you down." Of course, Zhuge Liang didn't learn the different methods, he said the same thing as Lin Mo, but everyone's purpose was different.

Lin Mo is to subdue Fa Zheng, Zhuge Liang is to deter Cao Cao, he knows too well that after Lu Lin's defeat, Liu Jun's enemy is no longer Lu Lin, but Cao Cao, who covets Jingnan.

Coupled with the words that he was humiliated by Lin Mo before, he also urgently needed to correct his name.

Ten days later, the wind has been calculated, but it is just to make the most of it.

"Lord!"

When everyone was talking happily, Cai Mao panicked and said: "Lord, Huang Zhong, who was ordered to patrol the river today, failed to return on time, and the last general specially ordered Zhang Yun to lead his troops out to look for him, and found that he was chased and killed by the Lu Lin Navy. ”

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly got up.

Huang Zhong took more than 1,000 people out to patrol the river, but only a few dozen people came back, how miserable this must be.

Cao Cao also reprimanded angrily: "I have issued a strict order that no one is allowed to fight with Lu Lin, and if I am defeated again this time, I am afraid that the morale of this army will collapse with a bang, so I immediately summoned all the civil and military soldiers in the military tent and mentioned Huang Zhong to ask for the guilt!" ”

"Whoa!"

After Cai Mao went out, Cao Cao exchanged a look with Liu Bei, who slowly bowed his head.

Well, the third step is coming.

The rest of the situation was basically step-by-step, according to the prepared script.

The civil and military gathered in the big tent, Huang Shot also came over with Cao Cao's status as a captain, and Huang Zhong, who was tied up by five flowers, was escorted to everyone, and then Cao Cao's questioning and Liu Bei's heartache.

After all, Cao Cao, as the leader of the alliance, had already issued a strict order and before he came up with a way to break the serial ship, no one could fight with Lu Lin to avoid affecting the morale of the army.

Huang Zhong has his own set of arguments, Huo Jun died at the hands of Lu Lin, plus they scolded their mothers every day to challenge, they really couldn't bear it anymore and fought with a small group of Lu army on the river, who would have thought that their chain of ships would soon come to support, and they were caught off guard.

Of course, Cao Cao is very democratic, although the military order was issued by himself, but Huang Zhong is Liu Bei's person in the end, and he has to come by himself how to send it.

Staring at the pressure of everyone watching, Liu Bei of course wanted to be punished by the Ming Dynasty selflessly, and immediately ordered Huang Zhong to be punished with twenty military sticks and executed immediately.

"Liu Bei! You are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact you are a complete hypocrite, and you are punished by the canon? Do you deserve it too? When your second brother Guan Yu lost the battle, did you know the canonical punishment? When your military advisor killed Zhong Miao, did you know the canonical punishment?

If you really know the canonical punishment, why will you force the chief to leave, and why will the sergeant deviate from morality.

Now I just did what I should do for a general, you don't ask me how to kill, but I want a direct cane, don't forget, you just live in Jingnan, the soldiers are the soldiers of the lord, and the city is also the lord's city! ”

Huang Zhongqi's bearded halberd scolded loudly.

"Presumptuous!"

Liu Bei rose up angrily, and pointed at Huang Zhong with a halberd, "Huang Zhong, you have repeatedly despised me, I won't care about you when you are old, and now I dare to speak wildly in front of the generals, if I don't kill you today, how will I govern the army in the future!"

Come on, drag Huang Zhong out, the military tent is forty, and he will be demoted to a centurion! ”

"Whoa!" Soon, two sergeants dragged Huang Zhong upside down, one on the left and one on the right.

"Liu Bei, you weave mats and sell shoes, but you falsely claim to be royal, and keep saying that you are supporting the Han family, but in fact you are in the Kuang Han room, a thief, a thief!"

Hiss~

Liu Bei's eyebrows tightened, who taught him to scold me like this, didn't he say that he would cooperate with the performance, it was too much.

Not long after, Huang Zhong's screams came from outside, and in order to achieve the warning effect, Cao Cao also took everyone out to observe, including Huang Jie's, of course.

That's really miserable, the whole back was beaten and the flesh was opened, the flesh and blood were blurred, and I couldn't help swallowing saliva after seeing it, but I was thinking in my heart, anyway, it was also my uncle and uncle, who were also from Jingzhou, or develop it?

However, Cao Cao didn't give him a chance, and after watching the execution, Huang Jie was taken by Cao Cao to his private tent, and looked at him with a solemn face, "Huang Gongzi, at this time, our army has reached a desperate situation, and you have seen it these days, the morale of the army is low, and there are even deserters."

If we continue to postpone, we will be annexed by Lu Lin sooner or later, and your Huang family will also be doomed by then.

For this, I'm ready to give it a go! ”

Finally waiting for this opportunity, Huang Jie's heart set off a storm, of course he understood what Cao Cao meant, and arched his hand: "Please give the lord orders!" ”

"In this way, in ten days, I will personally lead 5,000 elites to cross the river, and then I will wear the armor of the Lu army and rush to Xiling City under the cover of night under the banner of the Lu army, and I will definitely be able to arrive in the future.

You go back to Xiling City first to inform Lingzun, then we will enter from the east gate, raise the fire as a number, open the city gate, and after the matter is completed, I will have a heavy reward. ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao sighed heavily, and put his hands on Huang Jie's shoulders, "When it comes to survival, whether you can turn the tide depends on Huang Gongzi and Ling Zun." ”

"Rest assured, the lord will not disgrace his life!"

Huang Shot's breathing hurried arch hand, and did not forget to repeat, "Ten days later, the east gate, raise the fire as a number!" ”

"Go ahead, while the sky is already dark, the river will be much safer, and it will not be easy to be exposed." Cao Cao said intimately.

"Take care, lord!" With that, Huang Shot shook off his cloak and strode away.

Looking at the back of Huang Jie, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth sketched a smile, "There is a sentence that is right, this battle is indeed a battle of survival, it depends on who is dead and who is saved."
