Chapter 447: Seven Star Terrace, borrowed from heaven
What do you need Xu You to say?
What to do?
Faced with such questions, Lu Yu did not speak directly, but unfolded a map.
It was still the map he had discussed with Cao Cao countless times, and it was still the map where the location of Wuchao had been marked countless times.
precisely…
The map was displayed in front of Xu You, making his eyes narrow.
"Are Meng De and Lu Situ still planning to launch a surprise attack on Wuchao?"
Xu You asked this question very carefully.
However, Cao Cao nodded firmly. "Ziyuan, let me tell you the truth. After the food I sent to Guandu from Xu Ducheng was stolen by Yuan Shao, I only have five days' worth of food left! Why?
Now, I am extremely anxious, this Wuchao, where Yuan Shao stores his food, is the only chance, the only hope!"
Cao Cao treated Xu You with all his heart.
After saying this, Cao Cao turned his eyes to Lu Yu.
Now, the "noble man" Yu'er mentioned has arrived, and the five thousand jars of wine have been robbed. Next...how to deploy? And...the ownership of Cao and Yuan in the decisive battle depends on Yu'er!
"That…"
Following Cao Cao's gaze, Xu You also looked at Lu Yu. "Lu Situ? What are you going to do?"
"Surprise attack on Wuchao!" Lu Yu's answer was concise and to the point.
this…
Xu You frowned, Yinlin knew clearly that there were tigers in the mountains, so he chose to go to the Tiger Mountains!
"I need some information..." Before Xu You could ask, Lu Yu said first, "For example, the location of those towers, and... the most important thing is Yuan Jun's password!"
call…
Xu You breathed softly. Speaking of which, these two points are actually not difficult. He had already marked the location of the tower and carried it with him. As for the secret code, as Yuan Shao's trusted adviser, how could he not know it?
only…
"Lu Situ, even if you know the location of the tower and Yuan Jun's secret code, if you send troops for a surprise attack, whether it is day or night...these soldiers will be exposed under the tower! Yuan Shao will take action immediately, let alone
There is a surprise attack on Wuchao, I am afraid that I will be surrounded before I even enter Wuchao!"
Xu You’s timely reminder.
Lu Yu nodded.
"I know...as long as the sun is still there, the moon is still there, under the tower...our army's actions will be exposed!"
"Then..." Xu You and Cao Cao said in unison, a big question mark popped up between their eyebrows, full of doubts.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, smiled and said loudly while laughing.
"But... what if I can borrow a 'Tengu Eclipse Sun' from God?"
Tengu eats the day.
Huo.
Cao Cao and Xun You were startled. When the Tengu eats the sun, it is a "solar eclipse". As the name suggests, a solar eclipse means that the sun is completely blocked and the entire earth is pitch black!
Therefore, it is also called "Tengu Eclipse" by the common people!
There were many solar eclipses in the Han Dynasty, five during the reign of Emperor Xiaojing alone.
According to Dong Zhongshu's telepathic interpretation, the power of heaven was granted by gods, and the appearance of the solar eclipse... was God's anger towards the empire's rule.
Therefore, every time a solar eclipse occurs, one of the three princes in the court will be deposed!
To put it bluntly, it is to let a "gong" take the blame and appease God's anger.
And among the people…
People even attributed the solar eclipse to being unlucky...
actually…
This is not only the case in China, but also all over the world. For example, in May of 585 AD, on the Irani Plateau, soldiers from the Kingdom of Media and the Kingdom of Lydia were fighting. Suddenly, everything went dark and the sun disappeared.
They were all frightened and threw away their weapons, unwilling to fight again. They thought this was God's fault.
Also, in the summer of 1030 AD, there was a battle at Stickelstadt in Norway, Northern Europe. There was also a sudden total solar eclipse. Both sides were horrified and said they could no longer fight!
But King Olaf II of Norway insisted on asking his soldiers to continue fighting. As a result, he himself was killed in the battle. Soldiers on both sides believed that Olaf II was cursed by the sun!
It can be seen that the ancients were in awe of solar eclipses.
The appearance of a solar eclipse is often an opportunity for a truce between the two parties. No one dares to go out of their way to cause sabotage or carry out surprise attacks. This has almost become an unwritten agreement.
but…
Lu Yu mentioned borrowing the "Tengu Eating Sun" from God, which is a bit...
Cao Cao and Xu You blinked their eyes in confusion.
I have heard of people praying for rain, sunshine, and a good harvest, but I have never heard of anyone praying for a "solar eclipse"... without any sign.
precisely…
Then again,
If Lu Yu can really pray for the "Tengu Eclipse Sun", then maybe...
Before Cao Cao and Xu You could speak...
Lu Yu's words came out again.
"Have Cao Sikong and Mr. Xu forgotten that I am a descendant of the Yin Yang family?"
Lu Yu blinked his eyes. "In the past, there was a strange person in our Yin-Yang school. Thanks to his grace, he granted me the magic of Dunjia. Once I use his method, I can control the wind and rain! It's no problem for the Tengu to eat the sun."
In one sentence, Lu Yu said it quite firmly, and his whole brow looked full of confidence.
Of course.
The reason for this is that in Lu Yu's memory, both the "Book of the Later Han" and the "Three Kingdoms" recorded that on the first day of September of this year, during the Battle of Guandu, a strange astronomical phenomenon, a solar eclipse, would occur.
!
If according to the original historical record...
Cao Cao, who was supposed to have a truce, did the opposite and launched a general attack on Yuan Shao's camp on the day of the solar eclipse. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao was not defenseless, and Cao Cao did not take any advantage!
only…
The same time, the same solar eclipse, if... the place of attack is Wuchao, then it will be a completely new story.
effects of solar eclipse
...The first thing that bears the brunt is to be able to avoid the prying eyes of the tower on the dark land and sneak into the Crow Nest Valley silently, and then... it is a story that I love to hear.
Lu Yu is quite confident about this.
Of course, he definitely couldn't say that the solar eclipse on September 1st was recorded in the book, he could only reveal his identity as a descendant of the "Yin Yang Family".
"Cao Sikong, if you can help me, you can immediately build a seven-star altar at the rear of Guandu. The altar is nine feet high and three feet in diameter. Have one hundred and twenty people hold flags and streamers to surround the altar. I will perform the ritual on the altar.
I, Cao Jun, can borrow the 'Tengu Eating Sun' for one day!"
call…
Lu Yu's words were calm and gentle, but Xu You's eyes widened.
"There is no need for a whole day and a night. If the timing is right, it only takes one hour, which is enough for a team of knights to rush into Wuchao... Before Yuan Jun arrives, a fire will burn Wuchao to ashes and escape intact!"
"But...but this should be done without delay. If...if Yuan Shao reacts and knows that I have joined Cao's camp, then...he may...be on strict guard against me!"
"What to do at dawn the day after tomorrow!" Lu Yu continued: "The Tengu Eclipse will be on the first day of September the day after tomorrow. The 'Tengu Eclipse' will start at Jiazi time, and the 'Tengu will disperse' at Bingyin time. How about it?"
When saying this...
Lu Yu's eyes were tightly condensed, looking extremely solemn.
"Yinlin... Yinlin..." Xu You's voice contained a trembling sound. He looked at Lu Yu in disbelief. After a long silence, he looked at Cao Cao again. "Meng Degong, I... I finally know that these years... you...
Why are you victorious in every battle? How can you not be in danger when you have this Hidden Lin to help you? How can you be able to secure the world? As long as you think about it, you can conquer the world, right?"
Ah...ah...
Cao Cao did not expect Xu You to say such a sudden sentence.
However, he didn't mind. He immediately patted Xu You on the shoulder and looked back at Lu Yu.
"I will send people to build the Seven Star Altar immediately!"
I borrowed a day from God to say "Tengu eats the sun". If someone else had said this, Cao Cao would have sent someone to pull him out and punish him with fifty army sticks.
But... if these words come from Yu'er's mouth, that's another story.
There is no doubt.
Never mind how ridiculous and unbelievable Yu'er's words are...
The father believed it, and not only did he believe it, he also immediately executed it and piled up the Seven Star Altar overnight!
Xu You was stunned at this moment.
Unbelievable…
Lu Yu wants to take the stage and do this, which is incredible!
But Cao Cao...he believed unconditionally, which is even more unbelievable!
For a moment, Xu You understood, Xu You realized!
of course…
Over the years, Cao Cao's rise cannot be separated from Yinlin's talent, but... if Yinlin wants to display his talents, how can he do it without Cao Cao?
Cao Cao, Yinlin...
This combination is so perfect, it's just... simply amazing!
…
…
Northern Jizhou, Changshan, Feilong Peak!
Clouds and mist fill the valley, like a vast sea; clouds and mist cover the mountain peaks, like a huge curtain; clouds and mist surround the mid-mountain, like cloud belts.
Amidst the clouds and mist, the top of Feilong Mountain looked particularly peaceful.
In a dilapidated thatched house, a man had his hands tied and his hair was disheveled... He looked extremely embarrassed.
But at this moment.
A "crunch" sound...
The door opened, and a heroic woman walked in. She was holding a bowl of food in one hand and a silver gun in the other. When she saw the unkempt man, she rolled her eyes subconsciously, and immediately placed the bowl on him.
in front of.
"Let's eat!"
After chanting these three words impatiently, the woman untied the man's binding rope.
This man is Yang Xiu...and the woman is Lu Lingqi.
Two months ago, Tong Yuan was defeated. He took Yang Xiu back to Feilong Mountain, and after locking Yang Xiu here, he went into seclusion to recuperate.
Naturally... the task of delivering food to Yang Xiu fell on his fourth disciple Lu Lingqi.
only…
Lu Lingqi learned that it was because of this guy that the master was so seriously injured, so she naturally didn't have a good look towards Yang Xiu.
But the master told him again that Yang Xiu must not be allowed to starve to death...
Therefore, Lu Lingqi came here extremely reluctantly to deliver food to him.
"I don't know what use you are? Why did the master want to keep you alive!"
Seeing Yang Xiu start this, Lu Lingqi grinned and complained...
"Haha, my life is so precious!" Yang Xiu smiled bitterly. Although he stayed in Feilong Mountain during this period, his face looked a little embarrassed, but he still had enough food and clothing.
As for...why Tong Yuan kept his own life, Yang Xiu felt like a mirror...
What if he died?
How to preserve Yan Liang?
He and Yan Liang were nothing more than bargaining chips, but the woman in front of him cursed all day long, as if everyone in the world except his master owed her money, which made Yang Xiu extremely disgusted!
What's more... Yang Xiu inexplicably felt some shadow of Lu Bu in him, just as self-righteous and just as disgusting.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is... once when Lu Lingqi was untying him, Yang Xiu noticed that the woman had many names tattooed on her sleeves.
I didn't see the front part too clearly.
But...
Yang Xiu saw the last one, and his heart palpitated repeatedly.
Because...the name is Lu Yu!
"It's been more than a month since the girl brought me food, right? I don't even know the girl's name? Can the girl tell me? If I die on this mountain one day, I would like to thank the girl for sending food!"
Yang Xiu asked softly, trying not to sound too deliberate. In fact, he was trying to find out the woman's name.
"You want to know my girl's name?" Lu Lingqi narrowed her eyes.
"yes…"
"You don't deserve it!" Lu Lingqi said coldly before Yang Xiu could speak.
this…
Yang Xiu frowned, this girl... really has the same temperament as Lu Bu. She doesn't know how to show basic respect and kindness to others...
well…
Sighing in his heart, Yang Xiu simply said directly: "The girl doesn't want to tell me her name, that's okay, but the girl has many names tattooed on her body. These names... must be extremely important people in the girl's mind, right?"
call.
After saying these words, Lu Lingqi's footsteps stopped, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and a sharp cold light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"hehe…"
"These are really important people!"
Her fists clenched suddenly, and now...Yang Xiu understood, these people were incompatible with the girl in front of him, but...among them, Lu Yu? Director Lu?
Why is this woman so at odds with Mr. Lu?
Yang Xiu's eyes narrowed and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
…
…
"Dong, dong, dong..."
At dawn in the morning, the sound of drums sounded from the rear of the Guandu military camp. Because it was from the rear, the sound would not be transmitted to the front camp, let alone Yuan Camp.
"Tap! Tread! Tread!"
The crisp sound of footsteps resounded, and Lu Yu was ascending the Seven Star Platform step by step.
Today...because we have to "do the right thing"...
He could make his appearance a little more "thunder", wearing a black robe, with disheveled hair... He stepped into the center of the altar among several white-robed Taoist priests.
He also held a sword in his hand.
Logically speaking, it should be a seven-star sword. In this case... it would be more powerful.
It's a pity...Cao Mu wasn't here, so he didn't even think about the Seven-Star Sword. He just borrowed Cao Cao's Yitian Sword and pulled it out at the altar.
At least, to the officers and soldiers of Cao's army in Guandu, it looked like "sacrifice", with countless white-robed Taoist priests holding flags and flags circling around the altar.
Lu Yu sat on the floor...closed his eyes, feeling the breeze, motionless!
Of course…
There's no need to move, the solar eclipse thing really has nothing to do with him... He just thinks he's here to be forced to "show off".
After a long time, it seems...it's time to say a few words casually.
Lu Yu stood up suddenly and shouted: "Pray for the power of the stars to bless Cao Ying's seven stars with immortality and endless magical power. With seven stars and eight formations, the enemy army will be defeated. Wear stars and moons to help us open up the wilderness. There are four or nine in the sky, and people can escape one of them." !”
At this point, Lu Yu changed the topic...
"The sun follows the dragon, the moon follows the tiger, the sun follows my will, it is unpredictable, God helps me, the dog eats the sun, the reality is unpredictable, Mo Gan comes to attack!"
Lu Yu chanted every word he could think of...
The process is complete...
He sat down again and waited quietly...
Only Xu You and a group of Cao Ying's civil and military officials were left looking at it dumbfounded. They all knew... what Lu Yu was doing!
They also know what they will do tomorrow, September 1st, but...can that be it? Just...can they invite Tengu to eat the sun? This...isn't this too ridiculous?
But it happened to be at this moment.
The sky seemed to have suddenly darkened. It was obviously dawn...the time when everything wakes up, but the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of haze and became dim...and then the light became lower and lower.
Everyone looks up to the sky...
The sun is getting smaller and smaller, like a half moon, like a boat, like a sickle...The sky is gradually getting darker.
"call…"
At this moment, Cao Cao, who was standing in front of the Chinese army's tent, exhaled a long breath when he saw this scene.
Tengu is eclipsing the sun...this is...this is a sign that Tengu is eclipsing the sun.
Immediately...he didn't hesitate any longer.
He recalled the secret code Xu You mentioned, and the towers marked on the map. Soon... the towers would be lost from sight, and this was Cao Cao's only chance.
"Where is the wonderful talent? Where is Zihe?" Cao Cao immediately shouted...
"Brother..." Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun held hands.
"Have you finished counting the tiger and leopard cavalry?" Cao Cao asked.
"Five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry have been assembled and can set off at any time!" Xia Houyuan replied...
Cao Cao nodded, and then he was silent for a breath.
He spoke immediately...
"I will go with you in this battle!"
this…
Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun looked at each other. The previous plan was for Lu Yu and Long Xiaoying, together with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, to carry out this task, with Cao Cao taking charge of the central army...
But...now, does the eldest brother Cao Cao want to change his plan temporarily?
To know…
Even though there is a solar eclipse, this battle is still dangerous and extremely dangerous. If one mistake is not made, it may lead to an irreversible situation.
"If I don't go to such a dangerous situation, who would dare to take the lead?"
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed...
Although he said this, he was thinking in his heart that Yu'er had done enough. If someone had to go to Wuchao to take command, then Cao Cao would rather it be himself!
He would never be willing to let such an outstanding Yu'er take risks...
"Battle of Guandu, dad...it's time to do something." Cao Cao shouted in his heart...he immediately walked out of the tent, turned over and jumped onto the Jueying Horse.
He turned towards Xia Houyuan, and Cao Chun shouted: "There is no time to wait, why are you standing still? Set off immediately...the victory or defeat depends entirely on this battle!"
"Here..." Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun said, holding hands.
Cao Cao did not forget to give instructions to Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong who were staying here.
"Yuan Rang, Zi Lian...after I leave Guandu, all the 200,000 soldiers in Wuchao will be under the command of Lu Yu!"
"In addition, I gave Xun Lingjun a bamboo slip. If I come back, the bamboo slip will be destroyed. But if something happens to me in Wuchao, you must act according to the content in the bamboo slip! Otherwise, I, Cao Cao, will die.
, and I will never die with my eyes in peace!”
"Do you all remember it?"
Huo…
Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong looked at each other.
"Brother, don't worry!"
The two of them spoke almost in unison.
They don't know the contents of the bamboo slips, but... at this moment, the elder brother's instructions are bound to be of great significance!
And it just so happens that Cao Cao specially left Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong to carry out the contents of this "bamboo slip", which is also meaningful.
because…
Because this bamboo slip is related to Yu'er's identity. If he makes a mistake, Yu'er's identity will be related to Cao Ying's future!
precisely…
Xiahou Dun is Yu'er's sworn brother, Cao Hong and Yu'er are important business partners, and Xun Lingjun's relationship with Yu'er is even more extraordinary. Letting them assist Yu'er is absolutely foolproof!
This is a decision that an old father has carefully considered!
"Gone..."
Cao Cao said hello, and a hunting operation under the "Tengu Eating the Sun" officially kicked off!
