------------------------

But Zhou Yu stood on the mountaintop, watching for a long time, and suddenly fell backwards, spitting blood and unconscious. Rescue left and right from the account. Generals

Everyone came to inquire and looked at each other in surprise, saying, "The million strong army in the north of the Yangtze River is swallowed up by tigers and whales. There is no dispute for the commander-in-chief. If Cao's army arrived, it would be like

What's the solution? ”Hurriedly sending someone to declare Wu Hou while seeking medical treatment.

But when Lu Su saw Zhou Yu lying sick, he felt worried and came to see Kong Ming to talk about Zhou Yu's death. Kong Ming said, "Why is it like this

Su said, "This is the blessing of Cao Cao and the calamity of Jiangdong." Kong Ming smiled and said, "Even Liang can cure the illness of Gong Jin." Su said, "Sincerely

In this way, the country is fortunate! ”Please ask Kong Ming to go see a doctor together. Su Xian entered to meet Zhou Yu. Yu lay down with his head covered. Su said, 'Commander in Chief.'

What is the condition like? ”Zhou Yu said, "My heart aches and I sometimes fall into a coma." Su asked, "What kind of medicinal bait have I taken before?" Yu replied, "I feel nauseous in my heart

Reverse, the medicine cannot be taken. ”Su said, "It's appropriate to come and see Kong Ming, who can treat the illness of the commander-in-chief. Now outside the tent, why bother to come and treat him?

”Yu Ming, please come in and help me up on both sides, sit on the bed. Kong Ming said, "If I don't see your face for days, why should I feel uneasy?" Yu said

How can a person protect themselves from unexpected misfortunes and misfortunes? "Kong Ming smiled and said," There are unpredictable storms in the sky, how can people predict them? "Upon hearing this, Yu lost his composure,

It is a groaning sound. Kong Ming said, "Does the commander seem to be troubled in his heart?" Yu replied, "Yes," Kong Ming said, "cold medicine must be used

To solve it. ”Yu said, "I have taken cold medicine, but it is completely ineffective." Kong Ming said, "We must first regulate its qi; if the qi is smooth, then we should inhale and exhale

Naturally healed. ”Kong Ming must know the meaning of the jade material, so he picked it up with his words and said, "What medicine should I take to obtain qi?" Kong Ming smiled and said

If there is one side of the light, then teach the commander-in-chief to be calm. "Yu said," Sir, may you give me guidance. "Kong Ming picked up a pen and paper, held back his left and right hands, and secretly wrote sixteen letters

The character said, "To defeat Cao Gong, it is advisable to use fire to attack; everything is ready, except for the east wind." After writing, he handed it to Zhou Yu and said, "This commander-in-chief is the source of illness

Also. ”Upon seeing this, Yu was greatly surprised and thought to himself, "Kong Ming is truly a divine being! I already knew my thoughts! I only wanted to tell the truth." He smiled and said

Sir, I know the source of my illness. What medicine should I use to treat it? The situation is critical, and I hope you can give me advice immediately. "Kong Ming said," Although Liang is not talented, he has encountered abnormalities before

People, when taught the Book of Heaven, can summon wind and rain. If the commander-in-chief wants a southeast wind, he can build a platform called Seven Stars on Nanping Mountain

Altar: nine feet high, made of three layers, surrounded by 120 people holding flags and banners. Shine on stage and take advantage of the strong southeast winds for three days and three nights

What is it like to assist the commander-in-chief in using troops? ”Yu said, "Rest for three days and three nights, with only one night of strong winds, big things can be accomplished. However, at present, the situation is

Cannot be delayed. ”Kong Ming said, "On November 20th, Jia Zi will offer sacrifices to the wind, and on the 22nd, Bing Yin will see the wind subside. How about that?" Upon hearing this, Yu said

Great joy, rising up with vigor. He ordered 500 elite soldiers to build an altar on Nanping Mountain; Assign 120 people, hold flags and guard the altar, and wait

cause.

Kong Ming bid farewell and set out with Lu Su. They arrived at Nanping Mountain to match the terrain and ordered the soldiers to take the southeast red soil to build an altar. 24 zhang in radius

Each floor is three feet tall, totaling nine feet. On the next level, insert the flag of the Twenty Eight Mansions: the Eastern Seven Faced Blue Flag, with horns, Kang, Shi, Fang, and Xin

Tail, basket, in the shape of a cloth dragon; The Northern Seven Sided Soap Flag, with the symbols of Dou, Niu, Nv, Xu, Wei, Shi, and Bi, represents the power of Xuanwu; west

The white flag with seven sides, representing Kui, Lou, Wei, Subaru, Bi, Zu, and Shen, commands the power of the White Tiger; Seven Red Banners in the South, Following Wells, Ghosts, and Willows

Star, Zhang, Yi, and Zhen, forming the shape of a Vermilion Bird. The second layer is surrounded by 64 yellow flags, which stand in eight positions according to the 64 hexagrams. up

On the first floor, there are four people, each wearing a hair tie crown, a soap robe, a phoenix robe with a ribbon, and a vermilion robe. Standing on the left in front, holding a long pole, pole

Use chicken feathers to maintain the tip. To attract good reputation; A person stands on the right in front, holding a long pole with a seven star emblem tied to it to indicate the wind and color; Rear left standing

One person, holding a precious sword; A person stands to the right, holding a incense burner. Twenty four people under the altar, each holding a banner, a treasure lid, a halberd, a long spear, and a yellow axe

White flags, red flags, and soap flags surround all sides.

Kong Ming arrived at the altar on the auspicious day of Jiazi on November 20th, taking a bath and fasting, wearing Taoist robes and disheveled feet. Fenfu Lu Su said:

Zijing will go to the army to assist Gongjin in mobilizing troops. If Liang's prayers are not answered, there should be no wonder. "Lu Su, don't go. Kong Ming instructed the soldiers guarding the altar to pay their respects

Do not deviate from your position without permission. Do not whisper. Do not speak recklessly. Do not startle or strike monsters. Those who violate orders will be executed! "Everyone led

Fate. Kong Ming slowly climbed onto the altar, with his gaze fixed on the direction. He burned incense in the furnace, poured water into the bowl, and looked up to the sky to offer a secret blessing. Lower the altar and rest less in the tent, order

Soldiers are replaced for meals. Kong Ming goes up to the altar three times a day and goes down to the altar three times. But there is no southeast wind. Let's talk about Zhou Yu inviting Cheng Pu and Lu Su

A group of officers, serving in the tent, waited for the southeast wind to rise before deploying their troops; On the one hand, report to Sun Quan for assistance. Huang Gai has prepared his own fireboat

Twenty, the bow of the ship is densely covered with large nails; The ship is loaded with dried reed wood, filled with fish oil, and covered with sulfur and flame retardant materials, each made of green

Cover with oil sheet; The blue dragon tooth flag is placed on the bow of the ship, and boats are tied at the stern: waiting under the tent, only waiting for Zhou Yu's command. Ganning, Kanze

Wopan Cai He and Cai Zhong drink alcohol every day in the water village and do not allow a single soldier to land; Surrounded by the Eastern Wu army horses, it was packed with people

Just waiting for the order from the account. Zhou Yu was sitting in the tent discussing when a scout came to report: 'The ships of Marquis Wu are anchored 85 miles away from the fortress, waiting for everyone to arrive.'

Listen carefully. ”Yu sent Lu Su to inform all the officers and soldiers under his command, 'Please tidy up your ships, weapons, sails, oars, and other items.' The order was issued immediately

Always take breaks. If there is any violation, follow military law. ”The soldiers were ordered to sharpen their fists and prepare to fight one by one.

That day, looking at the near night, the sky is clear and the breeze is not moving. Yu said to Lu Su, "Kong Ming's words are wrong. In the middle of winter, how can we get to the east

South wind? ”Su said, "I believe Kong Ming will not make false statements." As it was almost three watch, suddenly the wind blew and the flags and banners turned. Yu's accounting

When I saw it, the flag's feet drifted northwest. In an instant, a southeast wind rose, and Yu exclaimed in shock, "This person has the ability to seize the heavens and earth, and there are unexpected ghosts and gods

The technique! If we keep this person, it will be the root of trouble in Eastern Wu. Kill early to avoid future worries. ”Urgently summon the front guard officers Ding Feng and Xu

Sheng Erjiang said, "Each lead one hundred people. Xu Sheng went from the river, Ding Feng went from the dry road, and both arrived at the Seven Star Altar on Nanping Mountain to ask about their lengths,

Capture Zhuge Liang and behead him, bringing his head to seek merit. ”Two generals will receive orders. Xu Sheng disembarked from the ship, wielding his oars with a hundred knives and axes; Ding Feng

On the horse, one hundred crossbowmen each cross over to charge towards Nanping Mountain. The road is facing the southeast wind. Later generations wrote a poem: "On the Seven Star Altar

Wolong Deng, overnight with the east wind and the river surging. Isn't it Kong Ming who came up with a clever plan that Zhou Lang'an succeeded in? ”

Ding Fengma's army arrived first, and when they saw the soldiers holding flags on the altar, they stood up in the wind. Ding Feng dismounted and raised his sword to the altar, but did not see Kong Ming. He anxiously asked the soldiers guarding the altar

The answer was, "I just got off the altar." When Ding Feng hurriedly went down to search, Xu Sheng's boat had already arrived. The two gathered by the river. The small soldier newspaper said:“

Last night, a fast boat stopped at the front beach entrance. Shijian saw Kong Ming disembarking with his hair down, and the boat looked up at the water. ”Ding Feng and Xu Sheng split up

Chasing on both land and water routes. Xu Shengjiao pulled up the full sail and seized the wind. Looking ahead at the ship not far away, Xu Sheng shouted loudly from the bow, "Army

Teacher rest! Commander, please! ”I saw Kong Ming standing at the stern of the ship, laughing heartily and saying, "Commander in Chief: Use your troops wisely; Zhuge Liang will temporarily return to Xiakou

Let's meet again on another day. ”Xu Sheng said, "Please stay for a while, there's something urgent to discuss." Kong Ming said, "I've already predicted that the governor won't be able to accommodate me

He will definitely come to harm, teach Zhao Zilong in advance to connect. The general doesn't need to chase. ”Xu Sheng saw that the ship ahead had no canopy, so he just rushed over. Take a look at it

Recently, Zhao Yun picked up his bow and arrow, stood at the stern of the ship, and shouted loudly, "I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan! I have been ordered to come to pick up the military adviser. How will you come to pursue me

Hurry up? We were supposed to shoot you to death with one arrow, which made the two families lose their harmony. ——Teach you my methods! ”End of words, arrows are everywhere, shooting through Xu

Hang the canopy rope on the ship. The tent fell into the water, and its boat became horizontal. Zhao Yun taught himself to pull up the full sail on the ship and ride with the wind. Its ship is like

Flying, unable to catch up. On the shore, Ding ordered Xu Sheng's ship to approach the shore and said, 'Zhuge Liang's ingenious calculations are beyond human reach.' He also mentioned Zhao Yun

Do you know when he was at Yangchangban? We only ask for a return. ”So the two of them returned to Zhou Yu and said to Kong Mingyu

Let's meet Zhao Yun first. Zhou Yu was greatly surprised and said, "This person has so many plans that I feel uneasy at dawn!" Lu Su said, "Let's wait for him to be exposed

After Cao, he plotted again. ”

Yu followed his words and summoned all the generals to listen to the orders. Teach Gan Ning: "Take Cai Zhong and surrender your troops along the south bank, only raise the flag of the Northern Army, and take them straight

On the ground of Wulin, just as Cao Cao was storing grain, he went deep into the army and raised a fire as a signal. Leaving only Cai and one person under the account, I am useful.

”The second call to the Grand Historian Cifenfu: "You can lead three thousand soldiers straight to the border of Huangzhou, cut off the troops that Cao Cao received from Hefei, and force Cao Cao's troops,

Set fire as a sign; Just looking at the red flag means that Marquis Wu has arrived to receive the troops. ”These two teams are the farthest, start first. Thirdly, summon Lv Meng to lead three thousand soldiers

Wulin took over Ganning, burned down Cao Cao's fortress, and the fourth commander, Ling, commanded three thousand soldiers to intercept the leader of the Yiling border. He only saw the wildfire rise in Wulin and sent troops

In response. The fifth call was for Dong Xi to lead three thousand soldiers directly to capture Hanyang and flee from Hanchuan to the case of Cao Cao. Look at the white flag reception. The Sixth Calling: Pan Zhang Leading

Three thousand soldiers, all white flags, go to Hanyang to support Dong Xi. The six ships went their separate ways. But Huang Gai arranged a fire ship and a small pawn

Chishu invited Cao Cao to surrender tonight. Four warships were dispatched on one side, followed by the Huanggai ship to assist. The leading officer of the first team, Han Dang, and the second

Captain Zhou Tai of the Fourth Fleet, Captain Jiang Qin of the Third Fleet, and Captain Chen Wu of the Fourth Fleet: Each of the Fourth Fleet will lead 300 warships

Arrange twenty fire boats each. Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu supervised the battle on the Great Wall, with Xu Sheng and Ding Feng as the left and right guards, leaving only Lu Su and the Communist Party of Kan behind

Ze and his advisors guarded the fortress. Cheng Pu saw that Zhou Yu had a good way of mobilizing troops and greatly respected him. But it was said that Sun Quan's mission was to hold the military talisman and that he had already sent Lu Xun

As the vanguard, he advanced straight to the Qi and Huang regions, and the Marquis of Wu responded as the rear guard. Yu sent someone to fire cannons on Xishan Mountain and raise flags on Nanping Mountain. one by one

Get ready to stop, just wait for the evening move.

Speak on both ends. Let's just say that Liu Xuande was waiting for Kong Ming to come back in Xiakou when he suddenly saw a group of ships arriving. It was Prince Liu Qi who came to inquire about the news.

Xuande requested to sit on the enemy tower and said, "The southeast wind has been rising for a while, and Zilong went to pick up Kong Ming. I haven't seen him yet, and I am very worried

Pointing to the Fankou Port from afar, Xuan De and Liu Qi went downstairs to greet him, saying, "A sail of wind brings a flat boat, and it will surely be a military adviser. The ship arrived in an instant, Kong Ming

Zilong landed on the shore. Xuande was overjoyed. After greeting, Kong Ming said, "I don't have time to tell anyone else. All the troops, horses, and ships arranged by the former have already been arranged

No? ”Xuande said, "We've been cleaning up for a long time, only waiting for the military advisor to call

Kong Ming sat down with Xuan De and Liu Qi and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong can lead three thousand troops and horses to cross the river, take the Wulin small path, and pick trees

Ambush in dense areas with wooden reeds. After the fourth watch tonight, Cao Cao will inevitably run down that road. Once his army passes by, we'll set fire halfway through

Although I won't kill him completely, I'll kill half of him. ”Yun said, "There are two roads in Wulin: one leads to Nanjun and the other leads to Jingzhou. I don't know

Which road are you heading towards? ”Kong Ming said, "The situation in Nanjun is pressing, and Cao Cao dare not go. He will come to Jingzhou and then the army will abandon Xuchang

I went to collect the plan. He called Zhang Fei again and said, "Yi De can lead three thousand soldiers to cross the river, cut off the road to Yiling, and ambush at the mouth of Hulugu. Cao Cao

I dare not go to the Southern Yi Mausoleum, I must look to the Northern Yi Mausoleum. After tomorrow's rain, I will definitely come to bury the pot and cook. Just looking at the smoke rising, a fire broke out on the mountainside

Although he did not capture Cao Cao, Yi De's contribution in this battle was also significant. ”Fei Lingji has gone. Call upon Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and Liu Feng to drive separately

Ships, circumnavigate the river to capture defeated troops and seize weapons. The three of them took the plan. Kong Ming stood up and said to Prince Liu Qi, "When Wuchang looks at it

The ground. The most important thing. The young master then requested to return and lead his troops, Chen Yukou. If you lose, there will always be an escapee, so capture them, but

Do not leave the city walls lightly. ”Liu Qi resigned from Xuande and Kong Ming. Kong Ming said of Xuande, 'Your Highness can station troops at Fankou, based on your height.'

Look, sit and watch as Zhou Lang achieves great success tonight. ”

Shiyun Chang was on the side, but Kong Ming completely ignored him. Yun Chang couldn't bear it any longer and shouted loudly, "Guan has been fighting with his brother on the Long March for many years,

Never fell behind. What's the point of not appointing a military advisor when facing a major enemy today? ”Kong Ming smiled and said, "Yun Chang, don't blame me! I was about to get annoyed

I'm afraid to teach you the most crucial pass, but it's a bit difficult. ”Yun Chang said, "What obstacles do you have? I wish to see the edict immediately

Kong Ming said, "In the past, Cao Cao treated his feet with great care, and he should repay them with his feet. Today, when Cao Cao's army is defeated, he must follow the path of Huarong; if he orders his feet to go down

At that time, we must let him go. Therefore, I dare not teach. ”Yun Chang said, "Military advisors are much kind-hearted! On that day, Cao Cao treated someone seriously, and someone has already

Slash Yan Liang, punish Wen Chou, lift the siege of the White Horse, and report to him. I stumbled upon it today, how could I let it go! ”Kong Ming said, 'If it were to be released...'

But what about it? ”Yun Chang said, "I am willing to abide by military laws!" Kong Ming said, "In that case, I will write a document." Yun Chang then submitted the military order.

”Yun Chang said, "What if Cao Cao doesn't come from that path?" Kong Ming said, "I also agree with your military order. Yun Chang was overjoyed

Ming said, "Yun Chang can pile up firewood and grass on the high mountains of Huarong Road, set up a torch of fire and smoke, and bring Cao Cao here." Yun Chang said“

Cao Cao saw the smoke and knew there was an ambush. How could he be willing to come? ”Kong Ming smiled and said, "Haven't you heard of the theory of military strategy that is hollow and solid? Although one can use military force, one can still use it

Only this can deceive him. When he saw the smoke rising, he would call it a show of strength and would definitely take this path. General, please forgive me. ”Yun Chang

After receiving the command, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, and five hundred school swordsmen were led to ambush on Huarong Road. Xuande said, "My younger brother has a deep sense of loyalty. If

When Cao Cao indeed threw himself onto Huarong Road, he was afraid to let go. ”Kong Ming said, "Watching the dry elephant on a bright night, the thief did not die. Let this person stay

Emotions, teaching Yun Chang to do it, is also a beautiful thing. ”Xuande said, "Sir, your calculations are rare in the world!" Kong Ming and Xuande then went to Fankou,

Watching Zhou Yu deploy troops, leaving Sun Qian and Jian Yong to guard the city. But it was said that Cao Cao was in the Great Fortress, discussing with the generals and waiting only for news from Huang Gai. Today's East

The south wind is very tight. Cheng Yu reported to Cao Cao, saying, "The southeast wind is rising today, so it is advisable to be cautious." Cao smiled and said, "On the winter solstice, the sun rises. Come

At the time of restoration, is there no southeast wind? What's so strange about it! ”The soldier suddenly reported that a small boat from Jiangdong had arrived, saying that there was a yellow sealed secret book. Call urgently

Enter. The person submitted a letter. The book tells: "Zhou Yu guarded tightly, so he had no plan to escape. Now that there is new grain transported from Poyang Lake, Zhou Yu

Covering the patrol post is already convenient. At least kill the famous general of Jiangdong and offer his head to surrender. Only tonight on the second shift, those who plant the Blue Dragon Fang flag on the ship, namely

Grain ships as well. ”Cao was overjoyed, so he and the others boarded the large ship in the water fortress and watched as the yellow covered boat arrived.

Speaking of Jiangdong, as it was getting late, Zhou Yu summoned Cai He and had the soldiers tied down. He exclaimed, "Not guilty!" Yu replied, "Are you someone like He

Dare to come and deceive surrender! I am currently lacking a flag for offering blessings and sacrifices. I would like to borrow your head. ”Without denying it, he shouted loudly, "Your family's Kan Ze and Gan Ning

I have also been involved in planning! ”Yu said, "This is what I have sent." Cai He regretted it completely. Yu Ling captured under the banner of the Soap Banner by the river and offered wine and burned it

Paper, cut off Cai He with one knife, sacrificed the flag with blood, and then ordered the ship to sail. Huang Gai was on the third fireboat, covering his heart alone and holding a sharp blade in his hand,

The banner reads' Pioneer Yellow Cover '. Take advantage of the favorable wind all day and head towards Chibi. At that time, the east wind was strong and the waves were surging. Operate in the middle army

Looking across the river from afar, gazing at the moon, illuminating the river like ten thousand golden snakes, flipping waves and playing with them. Cao laughed heartily in the wind, thinking he had achieved success. Suddenly

The military commander said, "There is a faint cluster of sails and curtains in Jiangnan, bringing the wind." He looked up from above. The newspaper reported: 'All are adorned with the Qinglongya flag. Inside, there are...'

The big flag bears the name of the pioneer Huang Gai. ”Cao smiled and said, 'Gongfu is coming to surrender, this day will help me too!' The ship approached. Cheng Yu observes the good

Jiu said to Cao, "If you come to the ship, you will cheat. Let's stop teaching and get close to the village." Cao said, "How do you know?" Cheng Yu said, "The grain is in the ship, and the ship

Must be steady; Looking at the ship today, it is light and floating. Moreover, tonight the southeast wind is very tight. If there is any trickery, how can we take it? ”Practice enlightenment, then

Question: "Who will stop it?" Wen Pin said, "I am quite familiar with the water and would like to invite you to come." After finishing his sentence, he jumped off the small boat and pointed with his hand,

More than ten patrol boats depart with the Wenpin boat. Standing at the bow of the boat, he shouted loudly, "Prime Minister Jun's decree: let the southern boat approach the fortress and abandon the river.

”The soldiers shouted in unison, 'Get off the tent!' Without stopping, Wen Pin was shot in the left arm by an arrow and fell into the boat at the sound of the bowstring. Chaos on board

Everyone ran back. The southern ship is two miles away from the water surface of Caozhai. Huang Gai used a knife move to ignite the front ship together. Fire takes advantage of the wind's power, wind helps fire

Momentum, ships shoot like arrows, smoke rises to the sky. Twenty fire boats crashed into the water fortress, and the ships in Cao's fortress were all at once; Locked again by an iron ring,

There is nowhere to escape. Across the river, cannons rang out and fire boats arrived in all directions. However, on the surface of the three rivers, flames flew in the wind, turning red and sweeping the sky.

Cao Cao returned to the camp on the shore and saw several fireworks. Huang Gai jumped onto the small boat, with several people driving behind him, smoking and catching fire, to search for Cao Cao. fuck

Seeing the urgency, Zhang Liao was about to jump ashore when suddenly he piloted a small boat and helped it down. By the time the big boat was already on its own. Zhang Liao and Ten

Several people protected Cao Cao and rushed to the shore. Huang Gai saw a person wearing a crimson robe disembarking from the ship, presumably Cao Cao. He urged the ship to speed up and carried a sharp blade in hand,

Shouting loudly, 'Stop, thief Cao! Huang Gai is here!' Cao screamed in agony. Zhang Liao picked up his bow and arrow, glancing at the nearby Huanggai, and shot with one arrow

Go ahead. At this moment, the wind was blowing loudly, and Huang Gai was in the firelight. Where could you hear the bowstring? ”In the center of the shoulder, turn over and fall into the water. Exactly: Huo Er

During its prime, it suffered from water damage, but after recovering from its sore, it developed golden sores. Unknown about Huang Gai's life, let's see the breakdown in the following text.
