Chapter 150
The sky changes
The Han River, the longest tributary of the Yangtze River, runs from the north of Yizhou, through the north of Jingzhou, then sharply turns south through Xiangyang and other counties, and finally merges into the Yangtze River.
What separates Fancheng and Xiangyang is the Han River, also known as the Han River.
Lu Bu was standing on the bank of the Han River at this time, wearing armor, looking at the river in trance.
As a general who was born and raised in the north and became famous, he is not familiar with the Yangtze River or anything like that. Even though there are the Yellow River and the Weishui River in the north, compared with the water network in the south that can be found everywhere and can connect almost every county with waterways.
, is not a concept at all.
"Sun Ce saw it clearly and sent his generals in advance to guard the opposite ferry to prevent our army from crossing the river! He even let warships cruise on the river. If our army forced the crossing, we would be attacked immediately."
If they were on land, it wouldn't matter even if they were ambushed. Their strong strength ensured that the imperial army could ignore this slight disadvantage and launch the strongest counterattack in the shortest time.
But it's different on the water. Most of the Imperial Guards' soldiers are from the North. Many of them have never seen such a deep and wide water surface since they were young. If they were to ambush in such an environment, the casualties would probably be very heavy - it was not a battle.
Die, but drown.
Most of the generals who followed Lu Bu were northern generals. Fortunately, there were people like Gan Ning around who were good at water warfare.
"It is not impossible for a general to force a crossing, but on a dark moonlit night or when the sky is full of fog, the troops and horses on the opposite side cannot see clearly the situation on the river. They can take the opportunity to choose a suitable place to cross the river, and then attack the other side.
Just make a camp!"
As for the ships on the river? If the visibility on the river is extremely low, the other party will probably take back the patrol ships to avoid accidents.
In this era, war is seriously affected by weather. A good general must learn how to make reasonable use of all kinds of weather.
This is why many people will be amazed when someone comments that he knows everything about astronomy and geography.
Lu Bu is an excellent general, and he can also make reasonable use of the weather, but this does not mean that he can make the entire river rise with fog in just one sentence, so the only option... seems to be only at night when the light is relatively poor.
It was time to carry out the forced transfer operation.
This kind of waiting is very annoying, because we don’t know when the right weather will happen, so the whole army must be in a very tight state of preparation for war. If we are not careful, we may finally wait for the right time, but because of the soldiers
Their spirits had reached the brink of collapse and the battle failed.
"Too passive!"
After gathering all the generals and coming to his tent, Lu Bu directly asked them if there was any better way?
Sima Yi, the marching staff officer, had been sitting next to him silently. He closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "In the past few days, I have learned a technique that may satisfy the general's requirements!"
Sima Yi didn't open his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was surprised.
Lu Bu didn't pay much attention to this marching staff specially appointed by the emperor at first, but the emperor valued him very much, and he also knew that many of the magical items in the current court came from the Artifact Refining Department, which this young man had presided over for many years.
manufactured.
Although he didn't understand why he suddenly came to the army, he was still polite to him - but being polite was polite. He never asked Sima Yi about the march and combat, and Sima Yi was not angry at all. He knew that he was a twenty-year-old man.
A young man suddenly came to the army, and the opponent was Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, a peerless general with a world-famous reputation. It was normal to look down on him. He was so polite to him because of his majesty's face.
So Sima Yi was not in a hurry, he just did what he should do every day, and then sat quietly aside while observing the group of generals and lieutenants around him. Over time, he had developed a feeling for these people.
A rough understanding.
Generally speaking, they are all heroes of the moment. With so many outstanding generals gathered under the imperial court, he can't think of what kind of opponent the big man should be afraid of?
In addition, he has been in the Weapon Refining Department for a long time, and has a deeper understanding of the power controlled by the imperial court.
Despite the fact that the Northland under the rule of the Han Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, some things that many people dare not even think about have gradually appeared in people's lives.
But those are just the tip of the iceberg. The imperial court has more things than everyone thinks. If those things are taken out, the world will immediately become a different look, but the emperor hopes that the people of the world can gradually accept these things.
, so I didn’t take it all out in one go.
Just like when Luoyang Palace was built a few years ago, because of the demand, the people accepted it much faster. Now the floating car is running around all day long, and no one is scared to crawl away.
People ran up and watched with curiosity.
Those things, coupled with this group of outstanding generals, now we have to wait for the quality of ordinary soldiers to continue to improve. When that time comes, the world...
Thinking too far, Sima Yi immediately withdrew his attention, and then expressed his thoughts: "The summons that I have learned can be used to change the weather to a certain extent, and it can change the weather on a small scale!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Because they all realized how powerful and terrifying this move was. Not to mention its military use, this move was also extremely useful in civil affairs - wherever there was a severe drought, ask Sima Yi to use this spell and then bring down the rain.
That can solve the drought.
Wherever there is a risk of flooding due to continuous heavy rain, you can still use it. After three or two days of clear weather, the possibility of flooding will be greatly reduced.
If it is military...if necessary, it can affect the enemy's march, change the weather to hide the whereabouts of one's own troops, or even directly create a small-scale disaster to destroy the enemy. Just thinking about it, that's all that comes to mind.
This time, everyone looked at Sima Yi in a different way. If Lu Bu's terrifying force that was completely beyond human understanding was a huge deterrent, then Sima Yi, who destroyed the enemy's army while waving his hands and talking and laughing, was also a terrifying existence.
Sima Yi saw everyone's eyes and immediately explained: "It's not what you think. With my current cultivation level, I can only affect the weather in a small area, and I have to follow the prevailing weather conditions so that the weather can be affected by the weather."
Drought turns into heavy rain... I can't do it, at least I can't do it now."
The power of this technique is extremely powerful, and Sima Yi can also think of many wonderful uses. However, it is simply impossible to do that with his current cultivation level. Even if he specially creates a large number of auxiliary magic weapons to use them together, it will not be possible.
That effect cannot be achieved.
According to what His Majesty said, if you want to achieve that level, you must at least cultivate to the realm of heavenly immortals, and at the end, you must reach the realm of loose immortals. With his current level, he is not even an earthly immortal. If he uses it forcefully, he will only be able to reach the realm of immortals in the end.
A sudden death.
As for the division of heavenly immortals and earthly immortals, since the alliance agreement was reached with Yu Ji, Liu Xuan told his cronies that according to this division, Liu Xuan himself was only an earthly immortal, and the other earthly immortals were Lu Bu and
Cao Cao.
The remaining people are all monks, not immortals. They are just different in strength and weakness. People such as Diao Chan, Zhang Fei and others are already infinitely close to the level of earthly immortals.
After listening to Sima Yi's words, the generals knew that their thoughts just now were too optimistic, and at the same time they felt relieved - if there were more people like Sima Yi, I'm afraid they wouldn't have anything to worry about in future wars.
Sending Sima Yi is enough, why do we need a large army?
But in fact, Liu Xuan knows that even if it develops to a certain extent, soldiers and generals cannot be replaced, because the strength of soldiers and generals is also increasing, and those simple small disasters cannot cause an army that is strong enough to a certain extent.
any harm.
After briefly describing his situation, Lu Bu had an idea in his mind.
"So, the best thing is to choose a cloudy day, and then Zhongda can use his trick to change the sky and spread heavy fog to cover our troops' crossing of the river?"
Sima Yi smiled: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. If we do some additional auxiliary work, we can ensure that heavy fog can be spread even in normal weather. But in this way, in the next month, we will be able to
I can’t give the general any help in this regard!”
"Oh?" Unexpectedly, Lu Bu asked Sima Yi in detail what preparations he needed. Finally, he learned that he needed some jade talismans, magic weapons and some special metals to make some tools, and finally laid out a complete set of magic circles.
"It will take roughly ten days to prepare!"
"Okay!" Lu Bu immediately gave the order: "The whole army will be reorganized and we will carry out the cross-river battle in fifteen days. Now everyone goes back to rest and guard the camp. Don't let the guys on the opposite side take advantage of you!"
After thinking about it, he asked Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan can contact Meng Qi and ask about the situation in Xinye!"
Before he finished speaking, a soldier came in and reported: "General, Captain Ma has sent word that Xinye has been captured!"
Naturally, there are soldiers in the army who are responsible for communications. After receiving the news from Ma Chao, they immediately came to report to Lu Bu. Lu Bu was naturally even more happy when he heard the news. Once Xinye was captured, he no longer had any worries.
At this time, Cao Hong suddenly stood up: "General, please leave the task of forcibly crossing the Han River to attack the enemy camp on the other side to the general. The general will definitely live up to the general's trust!"
In fact, many people were eyeing this task, but they were not as quick as Cao Hong. As a result, this person grabbed the opportunity. Jiao Chu, Lu Xiang, and Lu Kuang, who were also on the side and wanted to get up to fight, spat in frustration.
Lu Bu thought for a moment and decided that it would be appropriate to hand it over to Cao Hong. As for Jiao Chu and others, he was really not at ease. After all, these people had only joined the Forbidden Army for a short time and their training speed was not particularly surprising. This task was so important.
It would be safer to let Cao Hong go.
"Okay, let's leave it to Zi Lian!"
