How could Cao Cao hold back when he got this method!

Instant orders were sent to the blacksmiths in the army, creating chains of nails overnight, locking ships and rafts of wooden rafts.

When all the troops heard that the floating bridge was expected to succeed, they were all happy.

Seeing that Cao Cao had been trapped, Pang Tongyi did not dare to stay in Cao's camp and was burned. He said to Cao Cao again:

"Although I was a native of Jingzhou, I had been living in Jiangdong for a long time. When I saw the heroes of Jiangzuo, there were many people who complained about Zhou Yu. I was a three-inch tongue and told him that he was the prime minister, and all of them came to surrender. Zhou Yu was isolated and had no help, so he would be captured by the prime minister. Zhou Yu was defeated, and Liu Bei would have no use."

Cao Cao had to take Pang Tong under his tent. Now it seems that wise men are different. They have to make great contributions before they will surrender. It is generally "the meaning of not receiving any reward without merit. Cao Cao immediately expressed his opinion:

"If sir can achieve great success, I will ask the emperor to report to the emperor and be named as the Three Dukes."

Pang Tong shook his hand and thanked: "I'm not a wealthy person, but I want to save all the people. The Prime Minister crosses the river, be careful not to kill him."

Cao Cao naturally promised not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. As a morally honest celebrity, Pang Tong could not become Cao Cao's subordinate in name even if he was a false man.

Pang Tong must have escaped. In order not to arouse Cao Cao's suspicion, he also sought the quotation to ensure the safety of the clan.

Cao Cao ordered the clerk to write the list, and after signing and sealing it in person, he carefully stamped it and gave it to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong collected the list and bid farewell to Cao Cao. He walked to the riverside. He was about to get off the boat and return to Jiangdong when he met Xu Shu again to seek the art of getting out.

Although Xu Shu vowed not to set up a plan for Cao Cao, as a top strategist, he was still unwilling to accept the shame of defeating Chibi and wanted to stay out of the matter!

Under the guidance of Pang Tong, Xu Shu also went to Sanguan to guard the pass.

Since the adoption of Pang Tong's chain, the Cao army not only walked in the water camps like flat ground, but also solved the problem of training water camps and floating bridges.

Cao Cao was naturally very happy to see that the army could cross the Yangtze River from the floating bridge and attack Jiangdong on land!

On November 15, the weather was clear and the wind was calm.

Cao Cao's preparations for building a floating bridge were already done. The only problem now is to use a large ship to seize the beach, so that the floating bridge can be fixed and then connected the large ship across the river.

In the middle of the ship, a wooden raft and bamboo raft can form a flat passage, the army can run through, and even the cavalry can gallop past.

Cao Cao also specially used more than ten large ships to build a command center. In order to celebrate, Cao Cao sent an order: "Put wine and music in this command center, and we must celebrate the night with all the generals."

The sky is towards the evening, and the moon on the east mountain is as bright as the sun. The Yangtze River is like the horizontal Su Lian. On the boat, hundreds of people on the left and right are all wearing brocade clothes and embroidered jackets, and holding halberds.

The civil and military officials sat in turn. Cao saw the picturesque mountains in Nanping, the land of Chaisang in the east, the river in Xiakou in the west, the Fanshan Mountain in the south, the Wulin in the north, and the vastness in his eyes, and the heart was happy to say to the civil and military officials:

"Since the uprising, I have eliminated evil and harm with the country, and have vowed to clear the world and purge the world. What I have not obtained is Jiangnan. Now I have millions of powerful troops, and I rely on the public to use their orders. Why not worry about not being successful? After conquering Jiangnan, there is nothing in the world, and I will share wealth and honor with them to enjoy peace."

All civil and military officials stood up and thanked him: "I wish the Prime Minister would like to play a triumphant song early! We will rely on the Prime Minister's blessings for our whole life."

Cao Cao was overjoyed and ordered his drinks to go around. By the middle of the night, Cao Cao was already a little drunk and pointed at the south bank from a distance and shouted:

"Zhou Yu, Lu Su, don't know the time of heaven! Fortunately, there is a surrender who is a confidant of his heart. This is God helping me."

Xun You hurriedly advised: "Prime Minister, please do not say anything, for there is any leakage."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "All the ministers on the seat, as well as the servants and servants, are all my confidants, so what's wrong with them!"

In fact, when the night is silent, the sound is heard very far away. Not only can someone hear Cao Cao's shouting on the other side of the shore, but even Liu Bei from Fankou can vaguely hear it.

Cao Cao was happy in his heart, and pointed at Xiakou and shouted: "Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, you didn't expect the power of ants to shake Mount Tai, how stupid is it!"

While Cao Cao was laughing, he suddenly heard the crows flying south and flew away. Cao asked, "Why did this crow roar at night?"

The left and right answered, "The crow saw the bright moon, and he suspected that it was dawn, so he left the tree and sings."

Cao laughed again. At that time, Cao was slightly drunk, so he took a spear and stood on the bow of the boat, put it on the river with wine, drank three entries all over the river, and said to the generals with a spear:

"I hold this spear, break the Yellow Turban, capture Lu Bu, destroy Yuan Shu, capture Yuan Shao, go deep into the north, and go straight to Liaodong, and spread the world: I am quite generous to this scene. I will use it as a song, and you will be kind to it."

The song says: "Wine is singing, how much life is: like morning dew, the past is full of suffering. Sighing should be generous, worry and thoughts are unforgettable; how can we relieve worries? Only Du Kang. The green collar of my heart is lingering; but for the sake of the king, I ponder until now. Deer sings and eats wild apples; I have guests, drumming and singing zithers and blowing fu. When can I stop? Worry comes from it, and cannot be cut off! Crossing the roads, crossing the fields, and keeping each other in vain; talking about banquets, I miss my old grace. The moon is bright and the stars are rare, and the magpie flies south; round the trees three times, and there is no branch to rely on. The mountains are never too high, and the water is never too deep: Zhou Gong vomits and feeds the world, and the heart returns to his heart."

After the song, a civil servant wrote a song to join in, and they all laughed.

The next day, Cao Cao woke up, and the navy general Mao Jie went to the tent and asked:

"Boats of all sizes are all equipped with chain stops. The flags and war tools are prepared one by one. Please ask the Prime Minister to dispatch them and choose a date to advance."

Cao Cao stood up and ordered the navy to train first. He personally sat on the central warship, called the generals to join the orders.

After ordering Bi, the navy camp launched a three-way battle, and the warships of each team came out in separate gates.

The fleet headed towards the middle of the river. There were platoons and Jingzhou navy, connecting the already connected wooden rafts, bamboo rafts and iron rings with large ships, and soon formed a pontoon bridge.

On this day, the northwest wind suddenly rose, and the boats pulled up the sails and rushed the waves. The floating bridge built was straight and as stable as flat ground.

Qing Xu, who participated in the exercise, jumped from the boat to the floating bridge, jumped like flying, and used courage to stabbing guns and knives. There were more than fifty boats, and patrols rushed to and urged the army to cross the river on both sides of the floating bridge.

Cao Cao stood on the general platform and watched the exercises. He was very happy and thought that this was a sure victory. Seeing that everything was almost done, he taught him to keep his sail and return to the village in sequence.

Cao Cao was promoted to the tent and said to the counselors:

"If God hadn't helped me, how could Feng Chu offer this wonderful plan? The iron chains and boats were built as bridge piers, and wooden rafts were used as bridge decks. As expected, crossing the river was like walking on flat ground."

Seeing Cao Cao's proud expression, Cheng Yu didn't want to be disappointed, but as a strategist, he was still the person in charge of Jiangdong's layout this time. He had to put forward his own ideas. He hesitated for a moment and said:

"The ships are all connected, and they are stable; but they cross the Yangtze River and have countless soldiers and horses, but if they attack with fire, it is difficult to avoid them. We must guard against it."
