Qi Jiguang said: "Although Cao's ships are powerful, they are by no means helpless, and they can attack with fire. The Cao's ships are connected together, and as long as one ship is on board, other ships can't escape..." He spread his hands, " I see that there are a lot of people in the big tent, can't even see such a simple reason?"

The General Wu Bing listened and looked at each other. Sure enough, this young general did have two brushes.

When Lu Su heard it, he repeatedly applauded: "That's right! That's right!" Then he turned to look at Zhou Yu: "Captain, I think this strategy seems feasible."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu sighed, closed his eyes slightly, and said hoarsely, "I can't think of this, but I can't..." He shook his head.

The group of ministers just thought that the governor would be ready, but Zhou Yu poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and they all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Na Fazheng said quietly: "The Governor's illness, I know the cause..."

When Lu Su heard this, he hurriedly said, "Sir, hurry up!"

Fazheng didn't answer, he just took a pen and cloth, wrote a few words on it, and asked to show it to Zhou Yu. Lu Su hurriedly picked it up and brought it in front of Zhou Yu, only to see sixteen words written on it: If you want to break Cao's army, you need to attack with fire; everything is ready, only the east wind is due.

When Zhou Yu saw that it was written directly to the point, he was shocked. He had to bite the bullet and sat up, and said to Fazheng, "Since you know the cause of the disease, I must have figured out a solution. Please enlighten me, sir."

Seeing that Zhou Yu's reaction was so strong, everyone was greatly surprised and wanted to know what Fazheng had written, but the cloth was held in Lu Su's hands, and he didn't mean to show it to everyone.

Fazheng winked, Zhou Yu immediately understood, and said, "Generals, please go out and avoid for the time being."

The generals were helpless and had no choice but to leave. Fazheng stopped Qi Jiguang: "General Qi Jiguang, please stay and help me." Then he explained to Lu Su, "This little general is my assistant, let him stay and help me at any time."

............

Then Zhou Yu couldn't wait to say: "Since you know so clearly, what is the means?"

Fa Zheng said slowly: "Is the general planning to attack soon? Are the personnel, provisions, and equipment ready?"

Zhou Yu said: "We are ready, we must attack in the next few days, otherwise Cao Cao's entire army will go south, and our army will not be able to resist... How could there be an east wind this season! If there is no wind, what is a fire attack?"

When Qi Jiguang heard it, he realized that it was because there was no wind.

Na Fazheng said slowly, "General, don't be in a hurry. According to the calculation of my official property, on the 20th, there will be east wind in Jiazi, on the 22nd, Bingyin will be windy, and on the third day, there will be strong winds.

Then Zhou Yu was shocked: "How do you know? How windy is this season?"

Fa Zheng did not answer, but said, "The Governor Mo Duo asked, I have learned to observe the astronomical phenomena since I was a child, so I can calculate it, and it can be considered that the Governor is a blessing.

That Zhou Yu couldn't believe it, and said, "Mr. Fazheng, there are no jokes in the army, so don't talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, the Governor, if there is a slight chance, the Governor can take his own life."

After hearing the Fa, Zhou Yu was so assured. Although he was skeptical, he immediately stopped lying on the bed half-dead. Instead, he got out of bed immediately and ordered sharply: "Call the generals to go to the central army tent immediately and stand by!".

Chapter 215 Midwinter Night

On the pitch-black river, nearly a hundred boats of various sizes were spread out in a staggered manner, slowly advancing towards the opposite side.

It's midwinter, and even in Jiangnan, it's cold at night. The wind whistled, scraping the chapped lips and faces of the soldiers like knives. The old general Huang Gai was barely wearing his armor. It was cold, and Huang Gai's teeth rattled. But he didn't care about it at all, instead he stretched out his hand anxiously from time to time, as if trying something. Also look at the flag on the bow.

According to the agreement between him and Cao Cao, all his ships will be under the blue dragon flag. Inconspicuous in the dark, which is exactly what he wanted, Cao Cao had to wait until they were near Cao Jun's naval barracks to take their attention away from the flag.

The whistling cold wind blew away the oily smell, which was another factor that favored him.

Huang Gai leaned on the sword in both hands, like a sculpture, and did not move. The slightly larger ship at his feet was the command ship of the fire team. Walk in the front, so as to negotiate with the Cao Jun warship that will come to observe.

"General, Governor Zhou Yu has sent an order to slow down our team's marching speed." A colonel came over and reported.

"Got it." Huang Gai said calmly. As he said that, he looked up at the flag next to him, and it didn't change, it still pointed in the direction of the east bank. The east wind hasn't come yet, if a fire is set, it's not the one who burns himself. Now we can only slow down the marching speed, otherwise when we reach Cao Cao's water army camp, and the east wind cannot reach the fire, it will be messed up.

"All teams slow down!" Huang Gai ordered. After speaking, he whispered: "This Fazheng, is he a liar... If the east wind doesn't come, I have to cut him with my own hands. If I can go back alive..."

The few captains around were a little panicked. It was only a quarter of an hour before the agreed time. The wind was blowing violently on the deck, and there was no intention to turn at all. The Qinglong flag next to it was blown against the flagpole by the wind, making a clattering sound.

"How far is it from Cao Jun's water barracks?" Huang Gai asked unhappily. The flames of the Cao Jun navy barracks in front were faintly visible.

"It's still far away... If the speed is sufficient, it will take at least half an hour." The captain next to him said.

"Don't slow down!" Huang Gai ordered, "Order all ships, Zhang Manfan, to move forward at full speed!"

"This...General, if the wind doesn't come, it will be difficult for us to escape at that time, and the main force of Cao's army may come after him." The captain reminded.

"In case, according to what Fazheng said, the wind will come in a quarter of an hour. If we don't arrive in time, Cao Cao has doubts about Dongfeng. Wouldn't he have lost all his achievements!" Huang Gai said sharply, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I, Huang Gai, must Be fully prepared! Don't miss major national events, personal life and death, why bother!"

The sails that had just been lowered creaked and were raised again. The gust of wind blew, and in an instant the sails were full, and the ship was like an arrow, speeding towards the other side of the river.

I don't know how long it took, the speed of the boat exceeded everyone's imagination, the wind was too strong, and the speed could not be calculated. After a while, the fire of Cao Cao's naval barracks was not far away. Cao Jun's barracks were arranged in an orderly manner, with fire everywhere, and the water villages and dry camps echoed each other, even tight.

The patrol boat blocked the way, and the speed of the Huang Gai fleet began to slow down, but it still did not stop.

Huang Gai's heartbeat was very fast, and he was extremely anxious. Obviously, the east wind still hasn't come, and they will be exposed after another quarter of an hour. Because obviously, there is no food on their ship, and all the light is flammable.

He and Cao Cao agreed to bring Zhou Yu's head and Jiangdong grain and forage to surrender.

Cao Jun's naval barracks has recently been expanded, because after nailing the big ships together, the hull of the ship doubles, and it requires a lot more space for maneuvering. Mr. Feng Chu resigned the day before yesterday, but Cao Cao kept him again and again. Mr. Feng Chu just insisted on leaving, but Cao Cao had no choice but to hold a large banquet to practice for Pang Tong.

That Pang Tong said: "I am going on a cruise to the west today, which can be as short as a few months or as long as a year. General Cao will drive into the south of the Yangtze River, and I have something to ask for. If General Cao does not agree, I will not visit the general's barracks again. The general has made an offer."

When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly said, "Sir, please tell me, and I will definitely remember your teacher's advice in the future."

"After the generals are driven into Jiangnan, be sure not to slaughter the people of Jiangnan." Pang Tong said earnestly.

Then what did Cao Cao think about it? I didn't expect it to be this basic thing. And obviously, Pang Tong thought that Cao Cao's entry into Jiangnan was a foregone conclusion. Cao Cao was very useful, and said with great joy: "It must be sure! You must bear in mind the teacher's teachings, and enter the south of the Yangtze River. You will never slaughter the people. Please rest assured, sir."

After Pang Tong made the request, he refused to listen to the request, and insisted on driving a small boat and went west along the river.

It was night, the weather was rare and clear, and a bright moon walked slowly in the sky. Cao Cao was overjoyed and held a banquet to entertain the generals.

That Mao Jie said: "Now in the middle of winter, the clouds are always dense, but the sky is clear tonight, it is not easy, my lord, this is a good omen!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and his ministers also celebrated. Cao Cao saw that the moonlight was like water, and the brilliance was imprinted on the water surface, and it actually illuminated the water surface brightly. Thinking that Huang Gai will bring Zhou Yu's head and Jiangdong grain and grass to offer him tomorrow, and stepping down Jiangnan seems to have taken something out of his pocket, his heart is even more happy. Nai Henglang wrote a poem:

Wine and song, life geometry! For example, in the morning dew, in the past, there is much suffering.

Generosity should be generous, worry unforgettable. Why worry? Only Dukang.

Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin. But for your sake, I have been pondering until now.

Yo Yo Lu Ming, eat the apple of the wild. I have guests, harp blowing Sheng.

It's bright like the moon, when can I catch it? Worry comes from it and cannot be cut off.

3.3 The more unfamiliar and the more distant, the vain use of each other exists. Qi Kuo talked about Yan, thinking of the old kindness.
