Zhuge Liang and Lu Su came to Nanping Mountain, overlooking the entire Jiangdong, only to see the big Jiangdong going, and the white waves were surging. ◢ With the *dream* small◢.1a There are many boats on the river, and the masts are dense, like woods in the river.

Zhuge Liang pointed his finger flat and said, "Zijing, let's build the Seven Star Altar here." ”

Lu Su said: "Everything but please ask Mr. to order." ”

"The construction of the Seven Stars Altar must be made of terracotta, that is, red soil, and it must also be taken from the southeast, which means that it must borrow the southeast wind. Zhuge Liang said, took out a sketch of the Seven Stars Altar, Lu Su looked, only to see that the Seven Stars Altar has a total of three layers, each floor is three feet high, a total of twenty-four zhang in radius, and twenty-eight flags are planted in the lower layer. The east is seven green flags, according to the seven houses of the east, the horned wood jiao, the golden dragon, the earth raccoon, the rabbit of the house, the moon fox, the tailed fire tiger, the water leopard, the general name is the dragon, the shape of the dragon; the north is seven soap flags, according to the seven houses of the north, fighting, bull, female, void, dangerous, room, wall, the general name is Xuanwu, some say it is a turtle, some say it is a snake, there is a saying that the turtle and snake are combined, is the god of the north, so the spread of the Xuanwu momentum; the west is seven white flags, according to the seven houses of the west, Kui, Lou, stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, Ginseng, the general name is the White Tiger, the south is seven red flags, according to the seven houses in the south, wells, ghosts, willows, stars, Zhang, wings, and Zhu, cloth into the shape of a red bird. There are 64 yellow flags around the second layer, according to the 8864 hexagrams, standing in eight positions.

The upper layer is used by four people, these four people wear hair crowns, soap robes, phoenix clothes and belts, and red shoes. The man on the left in front of him is holding a long rod with a chicken feather on the tip of the pole to observe the movement of the wind, a man standing on the left side of the back, holding a sword, a man on the right side of the front, also holding a long pole with a seven-star band tied to the rod to indicate the direction and strength of the wind, and a man standing on the right side of the back holding an incense burner in his hand. There are also twenty-four soldiers under the altar of the seven stars, each holding a banner, a treasure cover, a halberd, a long ge, a yellow Yue, a white man, a vermilion flag, and a soap silk, and they are surrounded by it.

Zhuge Liang explained to Lu Su in detail, and Lu Su admired: "Mr. Zhuge , I thought that borrowing the east wind was just a lie, but this time I read the drawings and listened to Mr.'s explanation, which was really eye-opening." The technique of Qimen Dunjia is really mysterious and abnormal. Don't worry, I will arrange the soldiers and obey the dispatch. ”

Lu Su quickly asked people to prepare everything, and called on 500 soldiers to build the Seven Stars Altar, but in just three days, the Seven Stars Altar was built.

On November 20th, Jiazichen,

Zhuge Liang changed into a robe and said, "Zijing, I will borrow the east wind today." Please go back to the camp immediately, let the Metropolitan Governor dispatch troops, when the southeast wind rises, it is the time to break Cao's soldiers, there must be no mistakes!"

"Mr. Kong Ming, if you can break Cao in one move, I will leave it to you. Lu Su bowed deeply.

"Well," Zhuge Liang said, "Zi, please go back, I'll leave it to me here." ”

Lu Su said goodbye to Zhuge Liang and went back to meet Zhou Yu. Here, Zhuge Liang gave an order to let the one hundred and twenty military academies change their clothes and each of them stand according to their own position.

Zhuge Liang bathed and fasted, dressed in Taoist clothes, barefoot, and his hair scattered, and walked to the Seven Stars Altar. Zhuge Liang ordered: "All the soldiers are allowed to listen, they are not allowed to leave their positions without permission, they are not allowed to talk nonsense, and they are not allowed to make a fuss." Whoever wants to disobey my orders and can't borrow the southeast wind, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless, they will not be forgiven!"

One hundred and twenty military academies shouted in unison: "Obey the orders of the sir!"

Everything was arranged, Zhuge Liang slowly ascended the altar, and then burned incense on the stove, poured water into the bowl, looked up to the sky and secretly wished, and recited words. The soldier next to him listened and felt that Zhuge Liang's words were strange, but no one could hear what he was saying.

In fact, even Zhuge Liang himself didn't know what he was reading, anyway, he muttered for a long time, and the soldiers next to him thought that he was praying for the southeast wind with the sky. Zhuge Liang then slowly walked down the Seven Star Altar, went to the tent to rest for a while, and let the one hundred and twenty sergeants eat in shifts. These soldiers knew that this matter was related to the comfort of Dongwu, and they didn't even dare to sneeze, and their spirits were highly nervous, so they looked forward to the southeast wind rising. But Zhuge Liang went to the altar three times a day and went down the altar three times, and he didn't see the wind rising, and these soldiers were all in a hurry.

Besides, when Lu Su returned to the camp, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu had already raised the big tent generals, and all the soldiers in Sanjiangkou were waiting for the southeast wind to rise. Lu Su first reported to Zhou Yu that Zhuge Liang had set up the Seven Star Altar to borrow the wind. Zhou Yu immediately ordered Huang Gai to prepare twenty fireboats, which were filled with reeds and dry firewood, filled with fish oil, and spread sulfur flames and nitrate on them, and then covered with green cloths, which were soaked in oil, even if they experienced wind and waves, they could burn when they saw fire.

On the bow of the ship was the Qinglong Tooth Flag, which was a code to communicate with Cao Cao in advance.

Huang Gai's ship is not an ordinary ship, but is rebuilt according to the drawings sent by Gong Yu. The bow of the ship has a large nail with a tip on the front of the nail and a hook on the tip. When these ships went to hit Cao Cao's ship, as long as they collided, these special big nails in the bow pierced Cao Cao's boat, and with another hook, Cao Cao's serial warship had no way to escape.

At the back of each fireship, there was also a clipper "walker", with a light hull, which was used to transport soldiers. Once Cao Cao's big ship was burned, the "walker" was able to break away from the big ship and join the battle in time.

On the other hand, let Gan Ning and Kan Ze closely monitor Cai Zhong and Cai He, in case they send a message to Cao Cao.

The elite of Eastern Wu was exhausted, and the south bank of the Yangtze River was full of warships. The entire water village and dry village, from the governor to the soldiers, each guard his position, and no one is allowed to move around, and the atmosphere is tense.

Zhou Yu was still not at ease, and also ordered all the troops to prepare dry food and water bags, not to make food, and once the southeast wind rose, they would attack immediately. The entire Jiangdong battalion sharpened its knives and guns, and there was a burst of murderous energy. Heaven and earth were slaughtered, and everyone looked up at the sky, looked at the flag beside them, and waited for the southeast wind.

"Report!" Tan Ma went to the big tent of the Chinese army and knelt down to report: "The lord has personally led the army and camped in the south of the Sanjiang Estuary, waiting for the good news of the governor of the capital. ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Okay, got it." ”

Then someone reported: "Lu Xun led 10,000 elite soldiers, eighty-five miles away from Sanjiangkou, and has set up a large camp of the naval division, ready to respond at any time." ”

Zhou Yu said again, "Got it."

After all, Zhou Yu is the commander of the three armies, although there is no sign of the southeast wind at this time, he is still calm, standing under the banner of the handsome character, staring at the flag in front of him, looking forward to the flag horn and streamers floating up and blowing the southeast wind.

But the flag horn and the streamer do not move at all, even if it moves slightly, it is also a northwest wind, and there is no southeast wind. The three armies in Jiangdong looked forward to the second watch from the beginning to the second watch, and the second watch to the third watch, but there was no movement. Zhou Yu was draped all over his body, and he couldn't lie down or sit down. Zhou Yu was anxious. Pulled Lu Su into the tent.

"Zijing, is Zhuge Liang a liar?"

"No, it won't. According to my observation, although Zhuge Liang seems to be unreliable, if he is not sure, he will never say it, and he will never do anything that he is not sure of. ”

"Zijing, you also believe in Zhuge Liang too much. There is only a northwest wind in this midwinter season, where does the southeast wind come from?" Zhou Yu sighed.

"Don't be in a hurry, Governor, wait and see. ”

While the two were talking, suddenly the bell rang outside the camp, and the wind came.

Zhou Yu hurriedly got up and ran outside the tent, only to see the handsome flag whistling in the fierce cold wind.
