Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Battle of Red Cliffs No. 3, Dispatch Troops in Advance
In the camp tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao was lying on the bed, listening to Xu Chu report to him about the affairs of the Wuya ship, although he had a headache, he had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Jia Xu sighed: "The grief of homesickness because of the songs of the Northland turned into the grief and indignation caused by the death of Wen Jugong, and finally turned into an encouragement to the collective morale." General Beifu's trick is a plan, it's really good! Jia only now understands why you trust General Beifu so much. ”
Cao Cao laughed: "Taking an army of 800,000 as a bet, isn't it just to make this lazy boy exert more effort!" ”
Cao Cao laughed for a while, and then said, "How is the matter of the decisive battle?" ”
Xun Yu said: "According to Zhuge Kongming's decision, tomorrow's decisive battle, the first target is Zhou Yu's flagship." The Jiangdong naval army is invincible, relying on the command of the flagship, as long as they defeat their flagship, let them come and go freely on the water, and like a pack of wolves without a leader, they can be annihilated in one fell swoop. ”
"Okay, very good, this person who is not recommended by Xiao Wu, it's really not simple."
Xun You, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu looked at each other, Cao Mengde was known for being suspicious, and at the beginning of the year, Zhao Wen recruited Cao Pi to become an official, this matter was not in his control, so he dismissed Zhao Wen, and he was still the same for his own son. But for Cao Wu, he was able to trust him so much, not only letting Cao Wu control the overall situation, but also letting Zhuge Liang, a newcomer, lead the troops, just because he was recommended by Cao Wu.
This kind of trust is completely different from Cao Cao's way of doing things in the past, as if Prime Minister Cao Cao has changed his personality and become a person who will trust a person without reservation.
The three strategists all saw it clearly, especially Jia Xu, who had put Cao Wu in the position second only to Cao Cao in his heart, and would never dare to offend him easily.
Xun You and Cheng Yu felt that in the past few days, since seeing Cao Wulai, Cao Cao has been much gentler, and he has become less angry.
After discussing the decisive battle, Cao Cao remembered something and said, "Gongda, remember it." ”
Xun Yu immediately made a gesture and listened attentively.
"The servant guards Guanglu Xun Xi, this person is good at franchising, figuring out loneliness, fabricating slander, framing Taizhong doctor Kong Wenju, and when he went south, he didn't care."
"Now you don't need to command an army, you don't need to make time. You help Gu draft a document and give it to Wen Ruo. Xi was worried about dismissal and seizure of his family, and all the officials in the clan were dismissed pending trial. ”
After the trial, Xi Xi decided to make a decision, and the rest of the clansmen were dealt with according to their crimes. Now that Kong Beihai is dead, and he is dead and can't argue, since Xi Wei is willing to impeach him, let's go to him to debate in person. ”
After saying a paragraph, the three strategists in the camp all had sweat on their faces.
They all knew about Xi Xi's impeachment of Kong Rong, and they also knew that Cao Cao was dissatisfied with Kong Rong, and Xi Wei was catering to Cao Cao and deliberately did this.
However, he didn't expect that Xi Xian would be directly sentenced to death because of this impeachment.
A thought came to the minds of the three of them at the same time: to accompany the king is like to accompany the tiger.
They thought too much about it just now, Cao Cao is still the same Cao Cao, suspicious and good at killing, no matter how big an official is, don't touch his tiger whiskers.
Only in the face of Cao Wu is he gentle and conniving.
"Lonely and tired, go down."
The three of them withdrew from the tent, and Xu Chu took a roll of bamboo slips to Cao Cao, but what was written on it was a short song line written by Cao Wuheng Fu.
Cao Cao took it, read it for a while, and sighed.
In his other hand, he held a note, on which was a draft he typed, and it was also a tanka.
It's just that before he finished writing his own tanka, Cao Wu had already read it out in public.
"Xiao Wu, your poem coincides with me, it is really providence!"
He looked at it again and again, and sighed: "Zhou Gong vomits, the world returns to the heart, and the person who wrote this poem is really in line with my heart!" ”
……
"Ahh
Cao Wu sneezed, the wind by the river in winter was extremely cold, Cao Wu stood on the five-tooth ship, staring at the sky.
It has been raining for the past few days, and it is the first sunny day, the moon has disappeared, and there are only about two quarters of an hour left before the sun rises.
The soldiers of Cao Ying had already finished eating, and this meal, in addition to porridge and rice, there were also a lot of dishes, and all the soldiers were gearing up, and they also knew that the moment of decisive battle was coming.
Three Wuya big ships are placed at the front of the array, the big banner of the word "Cao" is hunting in the wind, and the Chinese army of "Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Jizhou Shepherd and Cavalry General", stands high on the top of the Wuya big ship, and the river can be seen from several miles away.
On the stage, only the tiger idiot Xu Chu accompanied Cao Wu, Xu Chu said: "Xiao Wu, when the sky is bright, will there be a war?" ”
Cao Wu said with a smile: "Everything has to wait for the military advisor to judge." ”
The military advisor here is, of course, Zhuge Liang.
On the day of Huang Gai's night attack, Cao Ah Sanyi had compassion for the first time, rescued Huang Gai, and threw him to the enemy camp, but he accidentally found that the enemy generals were traveling west along the south bank together.
Saving the enemy general without permission must be a crime of killing his head in the army, Ah San is not a member of the army, but he also knows that he has caused trouble for his own general.
She made up for it, tracked it down, and smashed the other party's conspiracy to cross the Yangtze River at night on the spot.
Cao Wu and Zhuge Liang planned to move the tiger and leopard riders to patrol around there, and finally met Dong Xi and others ashore. Cao Chun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, killed Dong Xi on the spot and deliberately let Mi Fang go.
But Cao Wu knew that there was still a problem here.
On that day, Cao Cao, the three major strategists, Zhuge Liang and him, the six of them all thought of this problem.
These days of fighting, the other party's main general Zhou Yu is full of wisdom, since Zhou Yu knows that Huang Gai was put back by Cao Asan, and knows that Ah San is a light worker, why do you still have to fight with open fire and go out of the camp to explore the terrain without hesitation?
At that time, the six people felt that there was fraud in it, but the tiger and leopard rode out and killed the enemy general Dong Xian, which was rewarding.
Zhou Yu must have used the time of Dong Xi's night crossing to make other arrangements, but they didn't know where the other party had landed.
What kind of fraud needs to make Dong Xian sacrifice his life?
The only thing Cao Wu could think of was a fire attack.
The fire Zhang Tianzhao is a sea of clouds, and Zhou Yu breaks Cao Gong here.
The fire of the Battle of Chibi is engraved in the minds of every later generation, from the Three Kingdoms to the Sheng Tang Dynasty to modern times, no one who is literate in Chinese does not know about this great war.
Fire attack, fire attack......
There is no serial ship, there is no Huang Gai to surrender, why does the other party attack Cao's army?
Zhuge Liang lupine scarf, standing on the boat.
His building ship, followed by the three five-tooth ships in front, was under the banners of Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu, and all military orders were issued in the names of the three of them.
Cao Cao is the spiritual leader of the Cao army, his banner is the anchor of the sea to stabilize morale, and Xun You is the brain of the army.
After Cao Wu's public appearance and poems, the army was convinced that Cao Cao could still sit in the Chinese army, and Zhuge Liang's military orders were also unimpeded.
Before dawn, Zhuge Liang was also thinking about what Zhou Yu had done, he didn't think that he was fully prepared, and the other party could still attack.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across his face.
Zhuge Liang looked at the fluttering flag, and his pupils contracted suddenly.
The east wind, the east wind is blowing on the river!
Cao Wu also narrowed his eyes.
In winter, the north cools down sharply, the south cools less, the cold air transitions from north to south, and the Yangtze River basin is dominated by northerly winds.
Wulin, where Cao's army was stationed, was on the northwest bank of the Yangtze River, while Chibi, where Zhou Yu was stationed, was on the southeast bank of the Yangtze River.
Cao Jun originally occupied the upper reaches, and with the help of the north wind, he had the upper hand.
But today, after days of rain, the lake and land breeze finally formed an east wind.
Cao Wudao: "Providence is like this, but I want to break this providence!" ”
He drew his sword, faced the east wind, and held it high above his head.
At this moment, a huge drum beat came from the building boat behind him.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!! ”
Every sound hit the hearts of the soldiers of the whole army.
This is Zhuge Liang behind Cao Wu, who made a decision at the same time as him.
Don't wait for dawn, send troops directly!
Annihilate the enemy army before the east wind rises!
The order to send troops was immediately carried out throughout the army, and countless ships, ships, and fighting ships adjusted their sails in unison.
Countless soldiers stood in their positions.
Cao Jun did not have the rich banner language of Zhou Yu to command, but he also had his own methods.
This time, only civil officials such as Man Chong stayed in the camp. Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry also stayed here to prevent the camp loaded with grain and grass from being attacked.
Many other generals and captains of Cao's army each commanded their own troops, and Zhuge Liang only needed to give orders to the general, and the general commanded his troops according to the instructions, and completed the top-down military order.
Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Le Jin, Xu Huang, Xiahou Shang, Dong Zhao, Du Xi......
One by one, the generals received the military order, and they immediately set off.
Cao Jun, hundreds of thousands of people, the first time the whole army set foot on the battlefield!
Target, Chibi.
