Chapter 133 Burning Chibi 1
Today, Cao Cao gathered his advisers together to announce the methods of crossing the river, and asked the generals to step up their practice of building floating bridges and crossing bridges.
He highly praised Pang Tong's chain of plans and had the intention of inspiring morale, but he also expressed dissatisfaction with Cheng Yu's layout in Jiangdong!"
After hearing Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Although Cheng Zhongde has long-term plans, he still has something he doesn't know!"
Xun You has always been kind to Cheng Yu. When he saw his face a little embarrassed, he quickly took over the conversation and said, "Zhong De's words are so good. Why does the Prime Minister laugh at him?"
Cao Cao said: "Whenever you use fire to attack, you must rely on the wind. In the middle of winter, there is only the west wind and north wind, so how can there be the east wind and south wind? I live above the northwest, and the soldiers from Jiangdong are all on the south bank. If they use fire and are reversed by the northwest wind, they are burning their own troops. Why am I afraid?"
These strategists, especially those who are good at military strategies, are all proficient in astronomy and geography. They are all involved. How can they not know about the northwest wind in the middle of winter? Xun You asked this, but it was actually a pity for flattery!
After Cao Cao finished his explanation, Xun You took the lead in applauding and praising him. All the generals bowed and said, "The Prime Minister is very good at seeing you, but everyone is not as good as you."
Although Cao Cao was full of energy, he was not greedy for the achievements of heaven, and said humbly:
"God's will! This time, Ziyi made great contributions. Although he did not implement Huang Gai's surrender, he only made this plan when he met Mr. Feng Chu and brought it back to recommend it. It was not my credit!"
Cao Cao took great pains to explain, not just aimlessly, but to promote the so-called "God will"!
In other words, he wanted to let his subordinates know that Cao Cao was the "destiny of heaven"! He was the true emperor, laying the foundation for his future usurpation of the Han Dynasty!
People at that time, because they were brainwashed by Confucianism, they generally agreed with the imperial power and heavenly empowerment!
In fact, because there is only one throne, if everyone can be the one, then there will be no peace in the world if you fight around!
Cao Cao emphasized that he was destined to be the destiny of heaven, but he could not ignore his wise and magical martial arts. He then said to the generals:
"Qing, Xu, Yan, and the people in the past, were outstanding in cavalry warfare and were not used to riding boats. I once built Xuanwu Pool to train the naval army, but the effect was not very satisfactory. I asked experts about the water warfare, and believed that it would be difficult for the soldiers in the north to train elite naval army because they were not familiar with water and did not have the achievements of more than ten years of cold and heat! But it was not time for me, so I simply stopped training the naval army and started the southern expedition. Although I have obtained tens of thousands of naval army in Jingzhou, if I had not done this, how could I cross the dangers of the river?"
Zhou Yu and Liu Bei on the south bank heard Cao Cao's loud shouts overnight, and the sound of drums was heard again during the day.
I learned that Cao Cao was training the navy. When Zhou Yu climbed up to the high ground and watched Cao Cao train the navy, Cao Cao had already collected his troops and returned to the camp.
The next day, a detailed report came to report. Cao Cao had already obtained the method of crossing the river. Zhou Yu had already had some vague speculations. He was not panicked when he heard the detailed report.
Because he had already had a scheming in his mind, as long as all the ships in Cao Cao's water camp were burned, Cao Cao's method of crossing the river would naturally be useless. Therefore, Zhou Yu was preparing to take the chief general to inspect and determine the date for Huang Gai to surrender.
Zhou Yu led all the generals to stand on the top of the mountain, looking at the water surface of the north of the river, and the warships were circulated on the river, and the flags and horns were all in order.
Zhou Yu looked at Cao Cao's warships across the river from the top of the mountain and entered the water camp.
He looked around the generals and said:
"The warships in Jiangbei are as dense as reeds, and Cao Cao is also very resourceful and good at breaking down. What should he use to break it?"
Before the generals could answer, they suddenly saw the central yellow flag in the water camp of Cao's army being blown by the river breeze and floated into the river.
Zhou Yu laughed happily and said, "This is an ominous sign!"
While observing, suddenly the wind blew heavily on the river and the waves slammed into the shore.
A gust of wind blew, and the corner of the flag was blowing gently on Zhou Yu's face. Zhou Yu suddenly remembered something in his heart, shouted, vomited blood, and fell backwards.
The generals were unconscious and rushed to rescue them, but Zhou Yu was already unconscious.
All the generals rescued Zhou Yu and returned to the tent, and they were all stunned. Cheng Pu discussed with Lu Su:
"Cao Cao in Jiangbei was a million people, and the tiger was entrenched and whale swallowed. Unexpectedly, the governor suddenly fainted. If Cao's soldiers arrived, what would happen?" He hurriedly sent someone to report Sun Quan, and asked for medical treatment.
When Lu Su saw Zhou Yu sleeping, he felt depressed. When he came to see Kong Ming, he told him that Zhou Yu suddenly fainted.
Kong Ming asked, "What does Zijing think about the situation?"
Lu Su said with a frown: "This is a blessing for Cao Cao and a disaster for Jiangdong."
Kong Ming smiled and said, "Light can also cure Gongjin's illness."
Lu Su was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Kongming can indeed be cured, and it will be a blessing for the country!"
Lu Su immediately asked Kong Ming to go to the central army tent for medical treatment. Lu Su came to see Zhou Yu first. Although Zhou Yu had woken up, he still lie down with his head covered.
Lu Su asked, "Is the governor's illness better?"
Zhou Yu replied: "It's still agitation and pain, and he was in a coma again."
Lu Su asked, "Have you ever taken the medicine?"
Zhou Yu replied: "I feel vomiting and I can't take medicine."
Lu Su said, "I came to see Kong Ming as soon as possible, saying that I could treat the disease of the governor. I am waiting outside the tent. Do you want to invite him in to see the disease?"
Zhou Yu naturally did not believe that Zhuge Liang could cure his illness, but he still ordered someone to ask Zhuge Liang to come in, teach him to help him up and sit on the bed.
When Kong Ming came in, he saw Zhou Yu's face was pale and in a low spirit. He clasped his fists and said:
"I haven't met you for a few days, so why would you feel uneasy!"
Zhou Yuqiang was energetic and replied: "Where are good or bad luck in a while, how can one protect oneself?"
Kong Ming chuckled, nodded in agreement, "There is an unexpected situation in the sky, how can people expect it?"
Zhou Yu suddenly heard this, and seemed to have a pun, and his face was pale. Fortunately, his face was not good and it was hard for others to notice, so he pretended to moan and concealed it.
Kong Ming entrusted that he could cure diseases, but he was not just talking nonsense. He had read medical classics such as the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, so he began to diagnose Zhou Yu seriously.
Zhuge Liang put four fingers on Zhou Yu's right wrist to take the pulse, and asked, "Does the governor feel annoyed in his heart?"
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Yes!"
Kong Ming asked again: "This is a fire in his heart, and he must use cold medicine to relieve it."
When Zhou Yu heard what Kong Ming said, it was no different from what the doctor Suijun said. He replied weakly: "I have taken cold medicine, but it is completely ineffective."
Kong Ming nodded and said, "The fire of the governor is that the qi is stagnant and turns into fire. You must first regulate the qi; if the qi is smooth, it will naturally be cured between breathing."
When Zhou Yu heard Kong Ming's words, he thought he knew the meaning, so he picked it up with his words:
"If you want to get the qi, what medicine should you take?"
Kong Ming asked Zhou Yu to stick out his tongue and take a closer look, then said, "Liang already knows the source of the disease of the governor. I have a symptomatic prescription here, and I will teach the governor to be calm in an instant."
Zhou Yu knew that Zhuge Liang would never be aimless, so he said sincerely: "I hope Mr. Kong Ming will give me advice."
Kong Ming asked for paper and pen, asked Zhou Yu to turn his back and forth, and took the pen and wrote the secret book in four lines and sixteen words:.
"If you want to defeat Cao Gong, you should use fire to attack; everything is ready, but you only need the east wind."
After writing, he handed over to Zhou Yu and said, "This is the source of the disease of the governor."
