Chapter 28: Zhou Yu in the Phoenix River

said that Zhao Chen's sentence "scared Sun Ce and Zhou Yu", which made everyone look at each other.

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "Scare is scare, in fact, the purpose is to lure Zhou Yu to take the initiative." ”

Only then did everyone react and laugh.

"Take the initiative? Military advisor, Sun Cejun must have spent a lot of effort in this camp, how can they give up their advantages and take the initiative to attack? ”

Zhao Chen smiled and asked, "Xianhe, if someone tells you that he is going to beat you at night, how will you respond?" ”

Jian Yong replied: "If you know that there is a strong enemy on the other side, you will naturally wait at home, make all the defensive preparations, and would rather not sleep at night, after all, home is the place I am most familiar with." ”

What Xianhe said is extremely true, the ordinary reaction is to prepare in advance, regardless of whether the other party really comes. This is called preparedness. ”

"But one cannot go without sleeping, and without sleeping at night, he has to deal with all kinds of affairs during the day. You can stay up one night, maybe you're exhausted after two nights, and three nights is the limit of people. ”

Everyone thought for a moment.

Guan Yu suddenly said: "Instead of passive defense, it is better to take the initiative to attack." If you change so, you must take the initiative to settle accounts with that person, so as not to have too many dreams at night. ”

Zhao Chen gave Guan Yu a thumbs up: "Yun Chang has a good temperament. Passive defense not only consumes military strength, but also affects the combat effectiveness of the next day, if it is prepared and fails, isn't it a feeling of being played with? If you don't prepare, and the enemy comes, won't you be in a passive state? No matter what, it's a loss. ”

At this point, Jian Yong is naturally transparent.

"Strategist, I understand. When Sun Cejun saw this layer, he must take the initiative to attack, so as not to be passive. ”

"Yes, yes. Our army only needs to exhaust the enemy for two days. ”

"Chen Zhi listens to orders!"

Chen Zhi immediately stood up.

"Let you lead a thousand troops, and divide them into two groups, a group of five hundred. Every other hour, a group of troops was sent to the middle of the river, waving flags and shouting. You can't fight, just quickly follow the river from the north end of Sun Ce's camp to the south end, and then quickly go ashore. When the second group sent out the troops, they fired arrows at Sun Ce's camp and still left quickly. The two groups are swapped until dawn. ”

"The last general commands."

"Besides, Kenkazu, go and prepare the plank. There is a bridge ten miles south of this place, called Zhuang Bridge. At this time, I am afraid that it has been destroyed by Sun Ce's army, so I will give you two days to repair the bridge at night. ”

Jian Yong asked: "Military advisor, repairing the bridge is not a problem, but are you afraid that if it is repaired tonight, Sun Ce will lead the troops to destroy it tomorrow?" ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "After tonight, Sun Ce didn't have time to take care of the bridge. ”

And they were commanded to disperse.

That night, Chen Zhi led 500 people and 20 clippers, each with 25 people, wearing black night coats, and quietly boarded the ship from the north end of Sun Ce's camp.

The boats swung out in turn, and when they reached the river, Chen drew his bow and released his arrows, measured the range, and determined the distance from Sun Ce's camp.

Then they slowly approached Sun Ce's camp and beat drums in unison.

Just listen to the sound of drums shaking the sky, and the shouts of killing resounding in the sky!

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who were still sitting at the desk, heard the shouts and immediately got up.

"It's really here! Come on, fight back quickly! ”

The two walked out of the tent and walked up to the camp.

I saw Liu Beijun's boat in the river quickly heading downstream, with fireflies and fireflies on board, and the personnel were sparse.

There were shouts and drums on the river, but Liu Beijun did not attack.

Sun Ce said with a smile: "Liu Bei is timid, he doesn't dare to attack, he only knows how to beat drums and shout!" ”

Zhou Yu's face was pale, and he seemed to see the doorway.

When the two men saw that the boat was gone, they slowly returned to the camp.

But not long after arriving at the camp, the drums and shouts outside the camp were again beating and shouting.

The two had no choice but to put down the cup in their hands and move to the camp.

The scene was the same, Liu Beijun's ship just shouted and quickly disappeared downstream.

And so on and so forth, several times in a row.

Zhou Yu reacted completely and scolded: "This Zhao Chen's actions are not above board at all, he is clearly teasing us!" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately picked up his bow and arrow and shot at the boat in the river.

The arrow broke out of its bow and headed straight for the ship.

Unfortunately, the boat was too far away for the arrow to reach, and it fell into the river and made a slight splash.

This night, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not close their eyes, and the army was also nervous from time to time, and by sunrise they were exhausted.

In the early morning of the next day, the outpost reported that Liu Bei's army was repairing the Zhuang Bridge.

At this time, Sun Ce had just fallen asleep, and he could manage so much.

On the second day and night, according to Zhao Chen's instructions, Chen Zhi came to the same pattern again.

provoked Sun Ce's army to stay awake all night, and the soldiers all wore dark circles under their eyes, so hateful that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu gritted their teeth.

Sun Ce hurriedly consulted with Zhou Yu: "It's not a way to go on like this, our army can't sleep at night, and we have to guard against Liu Bei's army during the day, but now we are exhausted, and our combat effectiveness has plummeted." ”

Zhou Yu also clenched his fists, very resentful of Zhao Chen: "This person is scheming, he has teased our army five times, and he really can't bear it." Bo Fu, tonight our army must take the initiative to attack and take them by surprise. ”

Sun Ce immediately slapped the table and shouted, "Okay! Capture Liu Bei and Zhao Chen alive! ”

On the evening of the third day, Zhao Chen summoned all the soldiers to Liu Bei's camp.

"Lord, harassment for two days in a row, my view of Sun Ce's camp has gradually become chaotic, and they have no time to take care of our army's repair of Zhuangqiao, and Zhou Yu will not be able to sit still."

Guan Yu hurriedly said: "Does the military advisor mean that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will definitely come to attack our army's camp tonight?" ”

Zhao Chen nodded: "Our army's harassment overnight has completely lost the initiative, Zhou Yu will definitely not sit idly by, rather than holding on, it is better to take advantage of the fact that our army is preparing for a night attack, they take the initiative to sneak attack and catch our army off guard." Even if our army did not prepare for a night attack, Sun Cejun regarded it as a night attack on theirs, and it was counted after all. ”

"The military advisor is playing tricks on Zhou Yu!"

The crowd laughed.

Listening to Zhao Chen's explanation, everyone understood the actions of the previous two days.

"I can't imagine that the military advisor still knows how to fight psychological warfare! Be prepared with virtue, like a fish in water! ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "As a handsome person, you can be invincible only if you know astronomy and geography, understand the current situation, and know people's hearts." ”

Although everyone already understood Zhao Chen's intentions, how to march and arrange the formation still had to rely on Zhao Chen.

So everyone once again set their eyes on Zhao Chen.

"Strategist, give the order!"

"Yes, military advisor, give the order, let Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have no return."

Zhao Chen was very relieved to see that Chen Zhi and Guan Yu had rare eyes burning at the same time.

Liu Bei also said: "Since Houde has anticipated the night attack, there must be a countermeasure. ”

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "In the next battle, please work together." ”

"Guan Yu listens to orders!"

Guan Yu stepped forward and said, "Guan Yu is here!" ”

"Kenkazu Shohashi has been repaired. Order you to lead 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, hurry to cross the river, see the fire in the north, and lead a cavalry to attack behind Sun Ce's camp, and 2,000 infantry march towards Guangling City. Remember not to fight, fight from the south, then turn to the west, and join the infantry in the woods fifteen miles east of Guangling City. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu must return to Guangling overnight after the defeat, the woods here are the only way, and it is also the only way for the reinforcements of Guangling City, when the general and other Sun Ce and the reinforcements converge, they will lead the troops to attack first and then cover and kill, and they can also subdue a large number of sailors without capturing the two alive. ”

"Guan Yu takes the order."

"Chen Zhi listens to orders."

Chen Zhi clasped his hands into fists and said, "Chen Zhi is here!" ”

"Let you take five thousand elite soldiers, divided into two groups, one in the south and one in the north, and lie in ambush outside the barracks. When the barracks caught fire, the army led to enter, and the north and south were attacked, forming a trend of encirclement and suppression. At this time, Sun Ce's army must have withdrawn to the Phoenix River, and you will beat drums and shout, and shoot with bows and arrows, and you will not pursue. Turn your head to the south and cross the Zhuang Bridge, bypass the woods where Yun Chang is, and wait until the small dirt slope ten miles northeast of Guangling City, and wait until dawn, and then kill back to the east gate of Guangling City. ”

"Chen Zhi takes orders."

Zhao Chen turned to Liu Bei again: "Lord." ”

Liu Bei replied respectfully: "Liu Bei is here!" ”

Zhao Chen understood that this was for Guan Yu to see, so that Guan Yu could understand that Zhao Chen's order was the biggest at this time.

Zhao Chen comprehended and said: "The lord led 3,000 soldiers, ambushed in the camp, saw Sun Ce's army coming in, fought and retreated, and returned to the rear camp with rockets to ignite the camp. After Chen Zhi's army entered, he could return to the army to cover up and drive Sun Ce's army to the Phoenix River. ”

"Order."

"Xianhe, lead a thousand troops, prepare rope barbs, wait for Sun Ce's army to go ashore, make a detour to the back, sneak attack the ships, count a few ships if you can take them, and evacuate immediately after you succeed. All the ships were sailed towards Fanliang Lake, which was in the opposite direction of Guangling, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would definitely not pursue. ”

"Jian Yong takes the order."

"All soldiers must obey orders, cooperate and cooperate, and win this battle."

The people took the command and departed.

Liu Bei said with admiration: "Listening to the military division is like listening to a big show, very good, very good!" ”

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, didn't he say this to Zhuge Liang, and he used it on me again.
