At that time, the sky was not yet completely bright, but a layer of fog appeared on the river surface. The more we reached the center of the Yangtze River, the thicker the fog was, and basically we couldn't see it when we stood in front of us. Kong Ming took Lu Su to the bow of the boat to watch,
He sighed: "It's really a good weather, and he really didn't let me down!"
After hearing this, Lu Su was a little confused and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Kong Ming realized that he had missed and explained: "I'm talking about the content of a poem that my predecessors described fog. Today I saw such thick fog, and I was also inspired!" After explaining, I thought to myself that rain was
Yi's ancient book is really amazing, and there is such a saying about weather forecast.
In this way, by the fifth hour, the ship had approached Cao Cao's water camp. The Jiangdong soldiers selected by Lu Su lived in this water for more than ten years. Even if there was heavy fog, they would not lose their direction, so they found Cao Cao's.
It is no problem to identify the direction in a camp.
The boatman reported the situation, and Kong Ming quickly asked to line up the boat, head to the west and tail to the east, and then began to fire the war drums.
Lu Su was very surprised and said, "We are not far from Cao's army now. If Cao's soldiers really come out to attack, then we will be in trouble!"
Kong Ming smiled and said, "I don't think Cao Cao will come out! Let's go to the boat to drink some wine, then eat something to replenish your energy."
Lu Su was a little confused and said, "This matter is related to our lives. Are you under too much pressure? You are crazy. I will plead with you about the matter of 100,000 arrows. If you fail, I will cut off my head!
”
Kong Ming stepped forward and took Lu Su's hand, helped him sit down, and smiled and said, "Cao Cao is very suspicious. The newly appointed naval commander doesn't understand water war at all. In this case, they dare not
If you come out rashly, please don’t worry too much.”
Lu Su was skeptical, but Kong Ming said so, so it was hard to say anything else.
He was still sleeping in Cao Cao's camp. Suddenly, Mao Jie and Yu Jin reported the situation, saying that the sound of drums beating appeared in the river.
Cao Cao looked outside and saw that there was only a fog. He immediately passed the order: "They must be prepared to choose this time to come. I think there is an ambush. Don't act rashly. If it really doesn't work, just use bows and arrows.
When they shoot, they can't get close."
Cao Cao was still worried about the two new naval commanders, so he sent people to find Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, each with three thousand crossbowmen, and quickly went to the riverside to assist in the defense.
After receiving the order, Mao Jie and Yu Jin were afraid that the Jiangdong naval army would attack, so Cao Cao would definitely hold him accountable, and he would not care about it. He would shoot the arrow first! Not long after, a group of new archers came.
There were about 10,000 people who concentrated on shooting arrows in the direction of the sound. For a moment, the arrows in Jiangdong were raining. Kong Ming estimated that there should be enough bows and arrows on one side of the ship, so he sent someone to turn the ship and head east.
, the tail went west, approached Cao Jun Water Village a little further, and then ordered the military generals to make the drums louder and the momentum fiercer.
It lasted for a while, and the sun finally came out, and the fog slowly dissipated. Kong Ming felt that it was almost done, so he asked the boatman to tie the boat together again. He only saw the straw of twenty boats, which were densely packed with
Bow and arrow.
In order to show his strength, Kong Ming specially arranged for soldiers to shout together on the boat: "Thank you for the bow and arrows you rewarded!" While shouting, he had already gone to the distance.
Someone reported this situation to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao immediately ordered to come out to chase him, but the ship on Kongming's side was very light and was in the direction of the flow. He had been away for more than twenty miles, so how could he catch up?
Cao Cao was very regretful and could only suffer a loss.
Kong Ming returned to the cabin and said to Lu Su: "I just calculated it briefly. There are about five or six thousand bows and arrows on each boat. It basically does not require any materials, nor does it require the manpower and material resources of Jiangdong. We have already obtained 100,000.
Isn't it another kind of irony to wait until they use their own bows and arrows to shoot?" After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Lu Su said: "Sir, are such a magical person! I don't understand at all. How did sir, know that there will be such fog on the river today?"
Kong Ming laughed and said, "This is also what my friend told me. My friend is familiar with astronomy, geography, and also knows Qimen and Yin and Yang, and knows Zhouyi and Bagua Charts. He is a very powerful versatile talent! I am because
Only after judging that there would be such a heavy fog today did I dare to boast about Haikou in front of the Grand Governor and take over his three-day deadline. Zhou Yu asked me to finish it within ten days, and the craftsmen and raw materials would deduct me, but unfortunately, mine
Life follows God, how could Zhou Yu harm me!"
Lu Su worshipped him, which was considered a worship of Kong Ming. At the same time, he was also very curious about the mysterious friend Kong Ming said, and looked forward to meeting him one day.
After the ship docked, Zhou Yu personally took five hundred soldiers to the riverside to carry bows and arrows, and was also preparing to make Kong Ming look ugly.
Kong Ming walked out of the cabin, pointed at the bow and arrow on the boat, and asked the soldiers to carry it. When he saw Zhou Yu, he just smiled slightly, said nothing, and then slowly left.
Lu Su came out of the cabin at this time and told Zhou Yu about how Kong Ming borrowed a hundred thousand arrows. Zhou Yu was very surprised and sighed: "Kong Ming's magic trick is beyond my reach!"
Not long after, Kong Ming entered the camp to meet Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu's attitude seemed to change a little and came to greet him in person. He said in his words, "Sir, you are so amazing, it's admirable!"
Kong Ming said: "It's all a trick that cannot be used. How can we tell me?"
Zhou Yu invited Kong Ming to enter the camp to drink and celebrate. Zhou Yu said, "Yesterday, my lord urged me to enter the battle. I have no good idea. I hope the sir can teach me!"
Kong Ming said: "I am just a mediocre person, how can I have a good idea?"
Zhou Yu said: "I went to observe the Cao army's camp last night and found that there is a law in strict discipline and it is not something that our team can defeat. I thought of a solution. I don't know if it works. I would like to ask the sir to make a decision for me."
Kong Ming said: "Governor, don't say much, let's write it in our hands to see if it's the same!"
Zhou Yu was very happy and asked someone to take a pen and wrote it secretly. Then the two of them approached and opened their palms at the same time. When they watched each other, they laughed. It turned out that there was a word fire in Zhou Yu's palm, and Kong Ming's palms were
It is also the word "fire".
Zhou Yu said: "Since we have the same idea, there is no doubt. I hope sir will not leak this matter!"
Kong Ming said: "Now our two families have the same interests. They both want to defeat Cao Cao. How could the truth be leaked? I guess although Cao Cao was attacked by me with fire twice, he did not attract enough attention and would not be prepared. Now
The governor can perfectly implement the next plan."
After the discussion, the two drank a lot and then separated, and the generals didn't know about this.
