This sentence is not only a common saying, but also a classic battle example. Zhao Long plans to re-enact this battle on Dongting Lake.

But what he needs is not the east wind, but the north wind.

After Zhuge Wuhou used the east wind to defeat the prime minister, everyone knew that he could win with the help of the time, but how many generals in the future could use the power of the time to fight?

Imitation can't be imitated to a certain extent.

After all, not every general can calculate the weather three days from now, let alone three days, they may not be able to calculate tomorrow's weather.

Many generals' knowledge of astronomy is not as good as that of an old farmer.

Old peasants rely on the weather to eat, and a general can fight without knowing astronomy, and he may never lose a battle in his life.

In the past thousand years, there has been only one Zhuge Wuhou.

Now Zhao Long actually wants to use the weather for a decisive battle, let alone whether he imitated Marquis Wu, can he also predict the weather?

To be honest, no!

Zhao Long is a very traditional commander who is good at commanding infantry in combat. Things like weather forecasting are not his skills at all.

That's why we have to wait!

A full twenty days!

It is extremely boring to fight a small battle with the Shun Army on Dongting Lake every day.

Zhao Long didn't even pay attention to the daily battle report in the past ten days.

Anyway, the number of casualties has basically remained the same, and the results of the battle have increased a little every day, but it doesn't make much sense.

It can only show that the soldiers of the Gan army have grown faster than the soldiers of the Shun army in water warfare, but so what, it is impossible to invade Nanhu County with this slight advantage.

It still depends on God's face.

Dongting County, Ganjun camp.

A general of Shenwuwei followed Zhao Long into the handsome tent in the middle of the camp, but his face was a little frowning.

"Zhao Shuai, when are we going to wait, if the north wind doesn't come, we will fight with the Shun army at Dongting Lake?"

The battle on Dongting Lake was nothing more than a small fight, nothing interesting, Zhao Long didn't want to care about it, and the other Shenwuwei generals didn't care too much.

Now the daily battle is a piece of tasteless food for the Shenwuwei generals, and it is a pity to discard it if it is tasteless.

Except for the generals whose turn it was to fight on the lake, no one cared about the battle on the lake.

What they are most worried about now is if the planned north wind does not come, what will they do?

So today they couldn't help but send a representative to give Zhao Long some advice.

But Zhao Long never worried about the wind.

Being the commander of Shenwuwei has a great advantage, that is, it is not a problem even if he does not know many fields of knowledge, as long as he knows how to employ people.

The existence of the staff department can solve 90% of the knowledge that the coach does not understand.

If even the staff can't solve it, then we can only change the plan.

Yang Yuan doesn't like to use luck to decide the outcome of a battle, nor does he like his subordinates to do so.

The battle plan must be feasible and relatively accurate.

So does the waiting weather in Zhao Long's plan also meet these conditions?

Um…

To be honest, some of them depended on luck and did not conform to the principles of the staff's planning.

But not entirely by luck, without any accuracy.

According to the information collected by the staff and intelligence departments, Dongting County is prone to northerly winds in the current season, and the wind is very strong.

It is very rare for Zhao Long to wait for nearly 20 days and still not arrive.

It can only show that his luck does not seem to be very good.

Or God doesn't want to see the killing begin.

But Zhao Long still believed that the north wind would come.

Gu Li "Don't worry, the north wind will come, just wait a few more days."

Zhao Long said calmly.

It's just that his words are not convincing, and the general next to him has an expression of disbelief.

"Shuai Zhao, what if it doesn't come?"

Zhao Long said firmly: "Nothing happens!"

"..."

Zhao Long has already said so, and the generals of the Shenwu Army can only believe it.

Zhao Long is not stubborn, but really confident that the north wind is coming.

The staff found more than a dozen experienced farmers and fishermen, and they had a much better grasp of weather changes than the staff of the staff.

They depend on the weather to eat, to exaggerate a little bit, they depend on weather changes to survive.

A heavy rain may make them lose their crops, and a year's hard work will be in vain.

A strong wind may overturn the boat they rely on for survival, and they can only work for others for the rest of their lives.

So it is absolutely no problem to ask them to predict the weather. They can't tell what is the law, how the north wind is generated and how it blows to Dongting Lake, but they can roughly determine whether there will be wind and rain within two days.

100% accurate is a bit exaggerated, but 90% is still possible.

Zhao Long had already received the news from the General Staff that there should be a strong north wind blowing through Dongting County, Dongting Lake and even Nanhu County in the south in the last two days.

Zhao Long is willing to believe that their speculation is correct, to put it more bluntly, he wants to gamble once.

Yang Yuan also knew Zhao Long's plan, although he felt that his plan was a bit risky, he did not stop it.

Every general has his own fighting style, if he wants to interfere in anything, then this general will be useless.

"Let him make the decision at his discretion. I believe Zhao Long can fight this battle well."

Yang Yuan's support is undoubtedly the strongest backing for Zhao Long to stick to the plan.

On the second day, Zhao Long got up early and walked around the camp~lightnovelpub.net~ Don't look at his calm performance in front of the Shenwuwei generals yesterday, in fact, the pressure in his heart is greater than everyone else!

The king's imperial conquest came in person, and he had already wasted twenty days on Dongting Lake. Yang Yuan would still support him if it dragged on, but not necessarily the ministers who stayed in the capital.

They may not ask Yang Yuan to punish him, but they will definitely ask Yang Yuan to return to the capital as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty can't leave the capital for a long time. If the war in Dongting County can't end for a long time, please come back in time!"

Some people have already started asking Yang Yuanzuo to return to Qianyang City.

Yang Yuan definitely didn't agree, he also knew the news sent by the staff department to Zhao Long.

Since Zhao Long is willing to gamble once, Yang Yuan is also willing to be a spectator once.

However, he will not stay in Dongting County forever. If there is no chrysanthemum exhibition in Dongting County within ten days, he will leave.

Instead of returning to Qianyang City, go to the counties in the west.

The Zhongshan Mountains are indeed the most suitable place for the army to fight. Dongting Lake is the stage that Yang Yuan built for Zhao Long. Although the stage style is not suitable for Zhao Long, the stage is the stage. If he does not fight a good battle, he can only blame him for not performing well.

Then Yang Yuan can only choose a place to set up the stage, but the person on stage this time may not necessarily be Zhao Long.

As one of the first generals to follow him, Yang Yuan still wanted to support Zhao Long in a battle that could show his demeanor.

Everything depends on whether God will show face in these two days.

Today is still a sunny day, not to mention the wind, there is not even a whiff of wind!

"Is it really going to be windy these two days?"

In the evening, the Shenwuwei generals in the camp looked at the brilliant sunset in the sky, and were still full of doubts about the arrival of the strong wind.

In case the strong wind doesn't come, are we really going to continue wasting time on Dongting Lake?
