Summary of the previous chapter: Huang Gai brought money and firewood to the front of Cao Jun's formation, and successfully passed through bribery. When approaching the main formation, Huang Gai suddenly ordered the warships to be set on fire. Dozens of warships were instantly ignited and rushed into Cao's main formation.
middle......
Because Cao Cao ordered the fleet of ships to be connected with iron chains thicker than an adult's arm, these iron chains were also padded with thick wooden boards. Although it was as comfortable as walking on flat ground, the wooden boards were flammable.
, a warship was set on fire, and along the wooden planks, it quickly burned to the surrounding warships.
However, Cao Jun was not stupid. The intensity of the fire was not enough to threaten all Cao Jun's warships.
Xu Huang and other General Cao saw that the situation was not right and immediately ordered people to put out the fire urgently.
Not far from the opposite side, Huang Gai was very anxious. The southeast wind promised by the Governor and Lord Shangxian had not come yet. If it were any later, the fire would be extinguished by Cao Jun. By then, even if the King of Heaven comes,
It is impossible to defeat Cao Jun again.
On the other side, Zhou Yu had already rushed over with the main force of Jiangdong Army.
Zhou Yu was also very anxious, but now that the arrow had been sent out, there was no chance to look back.
"Damn it!" Zhou Yu cursed, pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang, and shouted: "Young men of Jiangdong, fight with me. Even if you die on the battlefield, we are still the heroes of Jiangdong, we.
.....It will be immortal and will be recorded in the annals of history forever!”
Jiangdong's army listened to the governor's order and responded one after another: "Immortal...forever recorded in the annals of history...immortal...forever recorded in the annals of history..."
Zhou Yu nodded movedly, and he and Jiangdong's soldiers rushed towards Cao's army...
Not far behind Zhou Yu, a small canoe was docked gracefully, as if everything on the battlefield had nothing to do with it. On the small boat, Ma Xiaoquan was holding a tea cup and taking a sip with great interest.
Drinking tea.
Sitting opposite Ma Xiaoquan was Lu Su.
Ma Xiaoquan was very calm, but Lu Su was not like that. Lu Su was scratching his ears and cheeks, rubbing his hands and stamping his feet. Although he was sitting, it was like there were thorns on his buttocks.
I can't sit still at all.
Ma Xiaoquan saw Lu Su's thoughts, put down the tea cup, and said in a haphazard tone: "Zijing, are you nervous?"
Lu Su smiled bitterly and said: "Master Immortal, I am not only nervous, I am almost dying of anxiety."
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head: "You want to pee, well, then you can pee. Anyway, there is river water outside the cabin, so it doesn't matter even if you pee!"
Lu Su shook his head and said depressedly: "Master Shangxian, you misunderstood me. It's because of this war. This... Master Shangxian, General Huang has already lit the fire, but if there is no southeast wind,
The fire will not have any impact on Cao Jun!"
"Oh!" Ma Xiaoquan deliberately pretended to react and said, "I understand, you are talking about the southeast wind, oh oh"
"Oh, my Lord Immortal, please stop it. Please give me a clear explanation. It really doesn't work. Even if I sell the iron, even if you do it again, Lord Immortal, as long as the southeast wind comes,
You can call me whatever you want!"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment, and something suddenly came to his mind, and he said, "Zijing, if one day you go to meet another person alone, would you dare or not?"
Lu Su was stunned for a moment and asked: "Who did Master Shangxian talk about?"
Ma Xiaoquan said sincerely: At this moment, Guan Yu is not a very famous general. Of course, I will not say Guan Yu's name. Well, let's cover it up a little.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "That's it, Zijing, I think you will have a negotiation in the near future, and if you bring too many people with you, this negotiation may fail, so if you go alone, you should
is the best solution, of course, there may be hundreds of people on the other side, and they all wear sabers, Zijing, do you dare or not?"
Lu Su thought for a while and said: "Master Shangxian, you are looking down on me, Lu Su. Don't say you dare not. As long as it is something that I, Lu Su, think is important, even if you ask me to go and meet that person naked."
, I dare to do it!”
"Okay!" Ma Xiaoquan stood up with a slap on his thigh, took two steps forward, and patted Lu Su hard on the shoulder, "Zijing, I really saw the right person, haha... don't worry,
The southeasterly wind will arrive soon!"
Lu Su was surprised and said: "Immediately?"
Ma Xiaoquan exclaimed, "Put your hand out now and take a look!"
Lu Su stretched out his right hand suspiciously and felt it.
"Huh?" Lu Su's body shook violently at this feeling, and then he jumped up and threw himself out.
Seeing Lu Su's embarrassed look, Ma Xiaoquan shook his head.
In his left eye, Yuan suddenly said: "Huntan Ma Xiaoquan, are you satisfied now? If it weren't for me, you still don't know when the southeast wind will come, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan responded: "Kao, why are you claiming credit? We are one and the same... By the way, why did you suddenly speak? Why did you look into my eyes and stop talking?"
..."
Yuandao: "Nonsense, one part of my body has not yet completely transformed, so it will take a lot of energy to pop out. I'm afraid I will have to wait a few years..."
"So long?"
"Well! Yes, but during my downtime, you can ask me for questions. As long as I know, I can pass on what I tell you..."
“Oh, that’s good”
...
Ma Xiaoquan was very happy to receive a positive reply from Yuan for the first time.
Ma Xiaoquan walked out of the cabin, looked at Lu Su dancing on the bow, and exclaimed: "Zijing, are you so exaggerated?"
Lu Su wiped the sweat from his head, strode over, took Ma Xiaoquan's hand and said, "Master Shangxian, do you know that my lord has spent a lot of effort for this southeast wind!"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Lu Su said: "Master Shangxian, you don't know something. Cao Cao sent many spies to find out about you. For this reason, the lord and the governor negotiated privately and ordered someone to pretend to be you.
You are just pretending to be with your lord in Chaisang every day...I think Cao Cao would never have imagined that you are actually on the front line and not in Chaisang, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan suddenly realized it and said hehe: "It's rare that Brother Zhongmou and Gong Jin are so thoughtful. Hmm, what else?"
Lu Su added: "The Governor did not hesitate to offend many dignitaries because of this southeast wind. If this battle cannot be won, he will definitely be criticized collectively by those bitter nobles. You know, for this reason, the Governor will not even
My wife has all gambled away!"
"What?" Ma Xiaoquan was surprised, "Did Gong Jin take Xiao Qiao as a bet?"
Lu Su smiled awkwardly, spread his hands and said, "Yes, and the person who made the bet with him was none other than Zhang Zhao!"
"I'm a bad guy!" Ma Xiaoquan scolded, "How old is Zhang Zhao, and you still think about that?"
Lu Su blushed and said, "No, it's his son, and he insists on clamoring for Xiao Qiao..."
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile, "Zijing, if you say that, why do I suddenly want to cancel this southeasterly wind, haha..."
Lu Suyi became anxious when he heard this: "Master Shangxian, you must not do it, you must not do it!"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said: "Haha, don't worry, it won't happen. Hmm, Zijing, why don't you feel it again?"
Lu Su nodded, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
"Although the wind is relatively weak, but...but it is really a southeast wind..."
...
The front line, where the two armies meet.
Zhou Yu and the Jiangdong soldiers fought bravely to kill Cao Jun. Cao Jun also treated them as enemies and killed each other without mercy.
On Huang Gai's side, all the ignited warships have crashed into Cao Jun's warships, and half of them have been extinguished by Xu Huang and other Cao generals. If there is no southeast wind, all of this will...
...
Huang Gai gritted his teeth tightly and slammed the deck of the ship. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something.
Huang Gai stood up quickly, closed his eyes and held his breath.
"East...southeast...southeast wind?" Huang Gai opened his eyes suddenly and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha... God is really helping me. Southeast wind, southeast wind..."
At the same time that Huang Gai felt it, Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong soldiers who were far away in another battle circle also felt it.
On Cao Cao's side, when they also felt the southeast wind, they were all dumbfounded.
"Impossible!" Cao Cao kicked a Cao soldier in front of him, "Wasn't it still north wind before? How could it suddenly turn into southeast wind?"
No one dared to step forward to answer Cao Cao's question. Everyone lowered their heads in silence and said nothing.
...
Gradually, the southeast wind began to get stronger. Within a moment of burning incense, the southeast wind that was originally like a breeze has now become a strong wind that can pull the sails.
Seeing that the fire was almost under control, they did not expect that such a gust of wind would make all the previous work in vain. Xu Huang and other general Cao who was responsible for putting out the fire were instantly desperate.
Looking at the uncontrollable fire, Xu Huang and others quickly chose to retreat.
With this retreat, the entire Cao army's main battleships were exposed.
The flames took advantage of the wind and instantly engulfed all Cao Jun's warships. Cao Cao saw that the situation was not right and immediately ordered his men to abandon the ship and flee for their lives.
As soon as Zhou Yu saw it, he quickly followed up and hunted...
In this regard, the fire in Wulin shook Cao Cao's determination to go south.
...
Standing on the shore, Cao Cao looked at the raging fire on the river and suddenly remembered the letter Ma Xiaoquan gave him.
Cao Cao was a little speechless, but he had to admit that he had indeed wrongly blamed Lord Shangxian... But... at this moment, what's the use of saying this?
"Retreat!" Cao Cao said calmly, then turned his horse's head and took the lead to leave reluctantly.
