Chapter 34: Whose military advisor is the vanguard
"Prime Minister, our warships have been firmly connected together with iron chains, and the soldiers are standing on them as if they were walking on the ground, this is really a good way!"
Yu Ban excitedly reported his work progress to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, hurry up and train the troops, don't let Zhou Yu'er have any respite." ”
After coming out of Cao Cao's tent, Cheng Yu took two quick steps and stopped Jia Xu and Xun You.
"Two, what do you think of this chain of iron chains?"
Jia Xu glanced at Xun You, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhongde, I think it's good, and the prime minister doesn't think so, does he?" ”
Cheng Yu frowned, and said impatiently: "Mr. Wenhe, don't pretend in front of me, in fact, you have already seen that this plan is quite inappropriate, and there are doubts about Pang Tong's motives for offering the plan, why don't you continue to speak to the prime minister and point out the doubts in this?" ”
Jia Xu spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "Mr. Zhongde's words are not right, I have already made a suggestion before the prime minister goes south, but the prime minister has the prime minister's considerations, and we and other strategists have said all this, as for how to decide in the end, we can't influence it, and saying more will only cause people to be bored, if Mr. Zhongde wants to try the prime minister's patience, you can try to die to see if the prime minister can change his mind." ”
"You're ......! Jia Wenhe, can't you say something to people? I'll just ask you more! ”
Cheng Yu glared at Jia Xu, waved his sleeves, turned to look at Xun You, and said earnestly: "Gongda, with your intelligence, you won't be unable to see the suspicions in this, right?" Cheng is quite important to you, and once said, 'Zhongzheng conspires, pacify the inside and outside, if the text is also, the public is second', or you repair a book, send someone to Xuchang quickly, let Xun Lingjun persuade the prime minister, his words are always more weighty than you and me. ”
Xun You sneered, shook his head slowly, and said, "Mr. Zhongde, are you trying to harm my Xun family's uncle and nephew?" Who can change what the prime minister decides? Even my uncle can't do it, and he will even be suspicious of the prime minister because he asks about the front-line war, I think what Jia Wenhe said is good, Zhongde can try to die. ”
"You...... How can you be like him? Ay~! I, Cheng Yuren, are soft-spoken, and even if I tell the prime minister to death, I won't change my mind......"
"It's good to have this self-knowledge, Mr. Zhongde, you and I just need to do a good job of the prime minister's explanation, this iron chain seems to have a lot of flaws, but this wind direction is beneficial to our army, and it will not necessarily be used by Soochow, Zhongde has to think on the good side."
Jia Xu patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder, smiled and left first, and Xun Yu also shook his head and left by himself, leaving Cheng Yu still standing in place sighing.
In fact, Cheng Yu also knew in his heart that Prime Minister Cao Cheng had just pacified the north, and fought a beautiful battle in Guandu, destroying his fierce rival Yuan Shao, and now it can be said that his morale is booming, and his self-confidence is bursting, and he has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, so he just wants to crush Jiangdong with a big victory, how can he listen to his delay in going south?
But on the Chibi side, Zhao Yi took his big-headed soldiers to practice shooting every day, and at the same time was waiting for the damn east wind.
In fact, as a former Marine Corps special forces, he also has some experience in predicting the weather, but he can't predict it for that long, at most two or three days.
On this day, Zhao Yi, who was teaching everyone to shoot targets as usual, suddenly paused, he put his finger in his mouth and dipped some saliva above his head, feeling the changes in the airflow around him.
"Here, this Dongfeng is really coming! In less than two days...... It's time to tell Zhou Yu to prepare to attack, and it's time for him to tie up Huang Gai and give him a good beating. ”
Zhao Yi, who was overjoyed, ordered everyone to stop practicing for the time being, clean up the altar of the practice, collect the empty bullet casings around it, and put it into a cloth bag and sink it to the bottom of the river, leaving no evidence.
Outside Zhou Yu's tent, Zhao Yi tidied up his clothes, shook his feather fan and walked in.
"Mr. Zhuge is here? How's the ritual with the east wind going? ”
As soon as he entered the big tent, Huang Gai was the first to see Zhao Yi, and his eyes lit up.
"General Huang is also here, Liang came to talk about this matter this time, Du Du, I will not disgrace my mission, Yu Lao Tian borrowed an east wind, and will arrive in Chibi in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, we can plan how to launch an attack."
Zhou Yu's expression changed, and he looked at Zhao Yi and said, "Mr. Wolong really borrowed the east wind?" We have just discussed with General Huang Lao about the specific fire attack strategy, and your good news has come too timely. ”
"Oh? I wonder how the Governor decided to use this fire attack? ”
Huang Gai glanced at Zhou Yu tentatively, and got the latter's signal, and then said: "Mr. Zhuge , we want to use the method of deception, and I will lead the assault fleet to ignite and rush into the Cao camp, if the east wind can really blow at that time, this plan will be successful!" ”
Zhao Yi said secretly, the famous bitter meat trick is about to be staged, and the battle of Chibi will officially begin.
"Mr. Wolong, since Mr. is proficient in immortal methods and good at using soldiers, I think that if Mr. serves as a striker when charging into battle, he will definitely surprise Cao Jun, and our chances of victory will be much greater."
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes and officially sent an invitation to Zhao Yi to fight together.
In fact, Zhao Yi had already had this intention, and when he learned that the amount of equipment he could take out of the warehouse was directly proportional to the number of troops he was in charge of, he couldn't wait to make military achievements.
"The governor is polite, since we are called the 'Sun-Liu Alliance', Liang should take the lead and fight this striker."
Zhou Yu was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Zhuge Kongming to agree so happily, you must know that Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei's military advisor, how can he let the military advisor rush to the forefront in the war?
"Well, happy! Then we will make up our minds, as long as the east wind rises, as soon as noon passes the day after tomorrow, we will launch an all-out attack! ”
Zhou Yu set the time for the march with a wave of his hand, and Zhao Yi still needs to make some preparations next.
He was not at all worried about whether Huang Gai's bitter meat plan would succeed, and immediately returned to the camp tent, summoned Ma Liu and the others, and explained to them the precautions for the battle.
"That...... Strategist, there are so many people in Soochow, why do we let a few of us fight as pioneers? You're a military advisor, who is at the forefront......"
Zhao Yi slapped Hu Biao's head and scolded: "Are you Biao? Remember, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, only the vanguard can give full play to our maximum combat effectiveness, don't you all want to be promoted and get rich? Besides, as long as we strictly follow the training content, Cao Jun will not be able to stop us at all. ”
In order to protect the period, Zhao Yi gave each of the soldiers standing in the front row a riot shield, which was much stronger and more durable than their original wooden shields.
The soldiers in the back row each had a semi-automatic rifle, and all were armed with bows, spears and short swords for close combat.
