The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 285

I went to sleep for a while, and when I woke up at noon, I asked the soldiers: "Are the two people from last night dead?"Get dressed and rush to the 'ward'.Lu Meng and others are still waiting here, and when they see me come in, they will be very grateful.I felt the pulse of the two of them, the heart screamed badly, I had a fever, and my body was very hot.

I waved my hand and went back to the room to flip through the book without saying a word.I found a few prescriptions for the symptoms, told the soldiers to boil it, and gave them a drink.And gave the 'anti-inflammatory medicine' to wash the wounds of the two.Said: "Tomorrow morning when the fever subsides, I can live."

The vitality of these two people is really tenacious.Dazed is not dead.The next day Lu Meng came to report and said, "The fever has subsided." I also breathed a sigh of relief, prescribed some medicines, and ordered a team of soldiers to take them on time.He said to Lu Meng, "It will take at least three days to wake up."

Ling Tong woke up earlier than Dong Xi, and the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to cry Zhou Fang bitterly.

Lu Meng, Tai Shici and others took turns to watch over the two these days.It happened that Lu Meng was on duty.Seeing Ling Tong wake up, Lu Meng immediately went to inform everyone.Everyone gathered around the weak Ling Tong to ask questions.Xu Shu said softly to Li Dian, "Go and bring Zhu Ran and Sun Heng."

After hearing Ling Tong's story, Zhu Ran and Sun Heng no longer doubted Lu Meng's words.Both knelt on the ground begging for surrender.

Dong Xi also woke up faintly the next day.These two people have temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, and they may not be able to recover after a year or two of training.I ordered Dong Xi to be named Marquis of Boyang and Ling Tong to be Marquis of Zhongshan, and sent back to Guo Jia, the headquarters of Jiangling, to recuperate.Zhu Ran named Yi Daohou and General Fubo.Sun Heng was granted the title of Marquis of Xichang and prefect of Qinghe.

Before Ling Tong left, he drew a map of the distribution of Sima Yi's navy.I feel that the time for the decisive battle has come.

Also have to wait for a northwest wind.

It was already mid-March at this time, with more east wind and less northwest wind.I thought, no one in my team would borrow the west wind.

"Mr. Wenhe, can you get windy?" Jia Xu thought to himself, I can have convulsions.windy?What are you kidding.Blinked a few times, did not speak.The horrified expression said it all.

"Then it won't?" I hesitated and said, "Is there any way I want a northwest wind?" Jia Xu said, "No way. But—my lord, can I ask Pang Tong?"

"Pang Tong is not in the army." I said dejectedly.

"Flying Pigeon Passing Letters—"

Pang Tong also grew up by the river all year round, and he knows the climate in this area well, as well as the celestial phenomena.Immediately replied, saying with certainty: "The northwest wind will blow up in the future." Crazier than Kong Ming.

Even Jia Xu was amazed: "Your Majesty, is there such a god?" I stared for a long time, and squeezed out a sentence: "Who knows, I would rather believe it than believe it." Jia Xu said: "The King wants the Northwest The wind is nothing more than wanting to attack with fire. But on this big river, there are waves and waves everywhere, and there is water everywhere, so fire attack will not work?"

I thought to myself, there is finally something in the world that you, Jia Xu, don't understand.Very good.

"Sir, you're still in a hurry, what about the tung oil that the widow ordered someone to prepare before sending out the troops?"

Jia Xu nodded again and again: "I remember, I remember. But what's the use?" I said: "Mister ordered people to prepare, twenty giant ships, two hundred warships, all filled with firewood, I have a wonderful use. Release the rumors for me Let’s just say, Cao Chun rebelled in Luoyang, set fire to Xuchang, and sent out more secret agents, so everyone must know about it within two days.” Jia Xu listened quietly, without interjecting.After I finished speaking, he added: "Are you going to order the three armies to set up camp and prepare to retreat to Jiangling?"

"The one who knows me is Mr. Wenhe. Only you and I know about this matter. Don't pass it on to others. Otherwise, the plan will not work."

Jia Xu nodded and went out to deliver the order. After a while, the whole battalion received Cao Chun's order to retreat urgently for rebellion.All the generals felt uncomfortable, and they were about to succeed. Wouldn't it be a failure?Lu Meng and the others howled even louder.Many people come to ask for a fight and offer advice, but I don't see them all.

Jia Xu prepared for the day.I kept thinking in my heart, what should I do if there is no wind?Pang Tong's big talk is going to be bad luck.

The third day was sunny, cloudless, and there was no sign of wind.The water is as calm as a mirror.I also started to worry.Until, at dusk, suddenly, a gust of breeze broke the calm, within a stick of incense, the river was windy, and the flag pointed straight to the east.Sure enough, the northwest wind blows.

Drums and gongs were played in the flagship to summon the generals to discuss matters.

Facing the generals, I said sternly, "I have already decided that I will fight Sima Yi to the death tomorrow." Everyone was dumbfounded, the day before yesterday they said they would retreat, everything was packed, why is there a decisive battle again?The generals of Soochow Wu were of course ecstatic, and some people disagreed.Wenpin is one of them.

"Think twice, Your Majesty, Sima Yi's fleet is stronger than ours. You can't underestimate the enemy. Let Xu Tu advance slowly." I waved my hand: "Don't talk about it, this matter is settled. Cai Hao, Zhang Yun, Zhu Ran, Guli"

"The end is here."

"There are two hundred warships in Houzhai, which store [-] barrels of tung oil. You wait for four people, set sail in the dark, and go to Sima Yi's water village. It is ten miles away from the water village, return immediately, and dump the tung oil into the river. Remember, two hundred The boats have to travel side by side, and there is no [-] barrels of tung oil left, and all of them are poured into the river."

The four generals looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Gan Ning, Pei Bao." There are also ten huge ships in the back village, and there are also thousands of barrels of tung oil on them. The two of you lead forty special forces and guard the ships.Seeing people get on the boat, immediately light the kerosene and jump into the river to escape without any mistakes. "

"Cai Zhong, Cai He, Cai Jian, you three commanded [-] boats and retreated to Jiangxia overnight." The generals became even more stupid, won't the tung oil sink in the river?
He also said that there was going to be a decisive battle, so why did he transfer everyone away.

"Pang De, Chen Shi, Huang Xi, Wang Chong, Deng Sheng, Dong He, Zhang Nan, seven of you command a thousand warships and then withdraw."

"Wenpin, Lu Meng, Sun Heng, Tai Shici, Xu Sheng, Chen Dao, Li Dian, and Lu Xun followed me to command five hundred warships to the rear, attracting Sima Yi's main force to pursue.

"Zang Ba, Zhang Yan, Zhang Xiu, Liang Xing, Wu Dun, and Yin Li will give you a brigade of six people each. Land on the south bank at night, and attack Sima Yi's dry road camp immediately when you see fire in the river. Soldiers Bring firewood, approach the camp and just set fire to it."

"The last general obeys orders—" Although the generals were confused, they still agreed.

Wang Ping waited for a long time, but his name was not called. He stood up with a pale face and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why don't you have anything to do with me? The last general—the last general—"

I pointed to the bandage on his left arm and shook my head.Wang Ping tore off the bandage two by one, and stretched his arms: "Your Majesty, look, the last general can fight."

"Wang Ping and Yang Bo, I will give you two infantry divisions. They ambushed on the south bank overnight. When they saw our army's water village on fire, they immediately dropped rockets into the center of the river. If Sima Yi can survive, he will go the official way of Gucheng. You two People set up an ambush at the crossing. There are many spies on the banks of the Baili River to ambush. If there is a situation, fly pigeons to pass the message, and Sima Yi must be captured alive.” Many generals smiled bitterly in their hearts. How confused!

There was only one question left in Jia Xu's mind: wouldn't tung oil sink if it was poured into the river?

After the division of troops and generals was completed, it was already dark, and the generals did not dare to neglect, and went back to mobilize their troops one after another. The order was as follows: Cai Mao, Zhu Ran and others went to the river to sprinkle tung oil; , began to withdraw troops.It is estimated that Sima Yi, a suspicious old ghost, will be fooled for a while.So it was withdrawn in three batches.Cai Zhong and Cai He's fleet left in mighty force. When Sima Yi heard about it, he sneered: "It's a trick to lure the enemy. Don't pay attention to him. The wind on the river is too strong, so it's not suitable for battle."

At the second watch, Pang De's main fleet began to withdraw, and his personal soldiers went to report to Sima Yi: "Governor, Yuan Bing's main fleet has retreated westward, and it has sailed fifty miles against the wind."

Sima Yi couldn't sleep anymore.I thought to myself, Yuan Xi's gongs and drums are just playing psychological warfare with me.It made me think it was a trap, but in fact he was really going to leave.Could it be that I was fooled?
"Revisit—"

After the spies left, Sima Yi wore his clothes on and milled around in the cabin, restless.Could it be true that Cao Chun rebelled in Luoyang?

The five spies sent out came back one by one and reported: "Governor, Yuan Jun's main fleet has been withdrawn, and there are only four to five hundred medium-sized warships left on the river, more than ten large ships, and Yuan Xi's flagship—also began to attack." Withdrew-"

It was already the third watch at this time, and it had been a while since the main fleet withdrew.Sima Yi calculated that he had already gone far.Sima Yi thought: Yuan Xi actually came to the rear in person, should I chase after him or not?If you are fooled, you will be fooled. At worst, you will lose a few ships, and you will not suffer a big loss.If you miss this good opportunity to capture Yuan Xi, you will regret it forever.

All the generals are already on standby.Sima Yi ordered: "Gather all the warships and hunt down Yuan soldiers. If anyone can capture Yuan Xi, he will be crowned king immediately." He is not a king himself, so how can he be crowned king by others.

The generals under him didn't care about these things, everyone was happy to see Lie Xin, and felt that it was time to make meritorious service.This victory marks that the separatist regime of Soochow has succeeded, and the Yuan family will not be able to unify the Han Dynasty!

The sound of drums and horns and the sound of orders.Chun Yudan and Hu Zong led [-] warships as a vanguard army, leaving the village first, followed by Sima Yi's flagship Cao Zun, Liu Zhu, Sima Fu, Sima Ying and other generals.Behind Zhuge Zhi, Lu Yi, Wang Xiong, Han Long, and Zou Qi, there are a total of [-] warships.Across the river, sweeping like a broom.

The night was as dark as lacquer, and the red light from the torches shining on the river was always dark.Although Chun Yudan and Hu Zong smelled a stench, they didn't care too much, they were eager to make meritorious service.At that time, not many people knew that tung oil could float on water.

Chunyu Dan and Hu Zong went all the way without incident, and they pushed all the way to Yuan Jun's water village.Seeing the fire signal, Sima Yi was relieved that the journey was smooth.It turned out that there was no conspiracy or ambush, and they really retreated.

The last part of Yuan Bing has also been withdrawn, and there are only six or seven giant ships left on the river.It also seems to be about to lift anchor.It seems to be left behind.

Chun Yudan and Hu Zong had suffered enough from the giant ship.At the same time, I also admire its power.Immediately ordered people to surround the giant ship and shoot arrows upward.After a round of arrows, the soldier reported that it was empty and no one was inside.

Chunyu Dan was secretly delighted, it must be that Yuan Jun withdrew hastily and had no time to clean up.Just in time, use this giant ship to chase Yuan Bing.This thing is fast.He ordered a hundred soldiers to go up to check and report back that it was indeed empty.Chunyu Dan gave an order: "Allow 2 people to board the boat and pursue Yuan Bing." He climbed up the rope ladder first.

The follow-up troops are continuously injected into the giant ship——

In the darkness, phantoms leaped onto the deck from the bottom of the huge ship, plunged into the river with a plop, and rushed to the distance like a torpedo, swimming as fast as they could.

Chun Yudan was complacent, admiring the launchers and crossbows on the giant ship.When ordering his men to sail.Suddenly there was a burning smell.Looking back, I saw black smoke rising from the cabin, and all the soldiers in charge of rowing ran out.Chunyu Dan turned pale with shock, knowing that it was a trap set by the enemy.Just about to order the soldiers to disembark.

Suddenly, a series of muffled thunder erupted in the arena.One after another, the fireballs broke through the deck, rose into the sky, and burned the soldiers on the deck to ashes along the way——

Menlei followed one another, and fireballs followed one another.The six giant ships exploded one after another within the time of a stick of incense.Chun Yudan and Hu Zong reacted quickly and jumped down the river.Immediately felt that today's river water was a bit strange, not only smelly, but also very sticky, and could hardly be moved.

Fireballs, fire debris, and sparks exploded into the air, crackling.It fell from the sky to the surface of the river with a sigh.Strange things happened.The river suddenly ignited, and the flames spread for dozens of miles in an instant, as if hundreds of thousands of blood-red spirit snakes jumped up and down and danced on the surface of the river out of thin air.The flames were twenty feet high and burned everything that could be ignited.Chun Yudan and Hu Zong found themselves in a real 'sea of ​​fire' in the blink of an eye.Two thousand warships burst into flames at the same time.Before they died, they didn't want to understand how the 'river water' could catch fire.

Sima Yi's Chinese fleet had already sailed past Wang Ping's eyes, and the fire in Yuan's camp also began to rise.According to the king's order, release the rocket!
Wang Ping also didn't understand why the rocket could still burn when it was shot into the water, and it burned so intensely and violently.It has not been found that 'water' has this characteristic before.Could it be that the tung oil really floated on the water?

Sima Yi caught fire in front of him.Fire followed.The speed of the fire was so fast, with the speed of the wind, it reached the point of ten miles in the blink of an eye.Before it was time for a stick of incense, the fire had already spread to the Chinese army.The entire river was burned and turned into a huge furnace.It's like a huge fire dragon churning.Before Sima Yi had time to make a decision in the sea of ​​flames, the people and the boat were engulfed in flames in an instant.A cup of tea time passed.The entire river, within sight, was completely turned into a field of fire.The fire takes advantage of the wind, the wind helps the fire, and the smoke rises to the sky.All over the sky, it was red.

The generals and soldiers lost their minds and jumped into the river to escape.

They died faster in the river.

When it was extremely urgent, Sima Ying led a few 'water ghosts' in: "Commander, let these two people take you out. We are finished, all six thousand boats have been burned."
