When Zhao Chen said "I'm scaring Sun Ce and Zhou Yu", everyone looked at each other in shock.
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "To scare is to scare, but the actual purpose is to lure Zhou Yu to take the initiative."
Only then did everyone react and smile.
"Take the initiative? Military advisor, Sun Ce's army must have put a lot of effort into setting up this camp. How can we make them give up their advantage and take the initiative?"
Zhao Chen smiled and asked, "Xianhe, if someone told you that he was going to beat you at night, how would you respond?"
Jian Yong replied: "If I know that there is a strong enemy on the other side, I will naturally wait at home and make all defensive preparations. I would rather not sleep at night. After all, home is the place I am most familiar with."
"What Xianhe said is absolutely true. A normal reaction is to prepare in advance, regardless of whether the other party actually comes. This is the so-called preparedness."
"However, people have to sleep. If you don't sleep at night, you have to deal with various things during the day. You can stay up for one night, but you may be exhausted after two nights. Three nights is your limit."
Everyone had some thoughts.
Guan Yu suddenly said: "Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative. If you change someone, you must take the initiative to find that person to settle accounts, so as to avoid long nights and dreams."
Zhao Chen gave Guan Yu a thumbs up: "Yun Chang has a charming temperament. Passive defense not only consumes military strength, but also affects the combat effectiveness of the next day. If you are prepared but fail, wouldn't it feel like you are being played? If you are not prepared, you will be fooled." , but when the enemy comes, won’t you be in a passive state? No matter what, you will suffer."
At this point, Jian Yong is naturally clear.
"Military advisor, I understand. When Sun Cejun sees this, he must take the initiative to avoid being passive."
"Of course. Our army only needs to tire out the enemy's army for two days."
"Chen Dao obeys the order!"
Chen Dao stood up immediately.
"I order you to lead a thousand troops and divide them into two groups of five hundred. Every hour, send a group of troops to the middle of the river, wave the flag and shout. Don't be reluctant to fight, just quickly follow the river from the north end of Sun Ce's camp to the south end, and then quickly go ashore. . When the second group sent out troops, they fired arrows at Sun Ce's camp and left quickly. The two groups exchanged until dawn."
"The last general takes orders."
"Also, Xianhe, hurry up and prepare the planks. There is a bridge ten miles south of here, called Zhuang Bridge. I am afraid it has been destroyed by Sun Ce's army at this time. I will give you two days to repair the bridge at night."
Jian Yong asked: "Military advisor, repairing the bridge is not a problem, but we are not afraid that if we repair it tonight, Sun Ce will lead his troops to destroy it tomorrow?"
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "After tonight, Sun Ce has no time to take care of that bridge."
Everyone took orders and dispersed.
That night, Chen Dao led five hundred people in twenty fast boats, with twenty-five people in each boat, wearing black night clothes, and quietly boarded the boat from the north end of Sun Ce's camp.
The boats were deployed one by one and moved to the river. Chen Dao drew his bow and fired an arrow. He measured the range and determined the distance to Sun Ce's camp.
Then they slowly approached Sun Ce's camp and beat the drums in unison.
Just listen to the loud beating of drums and the shouts of killing resounding through the sky!
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who were still sitting at the desk, heard the shouts and stood up immediately.
"He's really here! Come here, fight back quickly!"
The two quickly walked out of the tent and walked onto the camp.
I saw Liu Beijun's boat in the river heading downstream quickly, with torches and sparse people on board.
There were shouts and drums on the river, but no Liu Bei army was seen attacking.
Sun Ce laughed and said: "Liu Bei is timid and does not dare to attack. He only knows how to beat the drum and shout!"
Zhou Yu's face turned pale, as if he had figured out the secret.
When the two saw the ship disappearing, they slowly returned to their tent.
But not long after arriving at the camp, drums and shouts were heard again outside the camp.
The two had no choice but to put down their cups and move to camp.
But the scene was exactly the same. Liu Beijun's ship just shouted and quickly disappeared downstream.
This goes back and forth several times in a row.
Zhou Yu fully reacted and cursed: "Zhao Chen is not acting aboveboard at all, he is clearly teasing us!"
When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately picked up his bow and arrow and shot hard at the boat in the river.
The arrow flew out of the bow and headed straight for the ship.
Unfortunately, the boat was too far away and the arrow couldn't reach it. It landed in the river and caused some splashes.
That night, neither Sun Ce nor Zhou Yu slept a wink, and the army became nervous from time to time. By sunrise, they were already exhausted.
Early the next morning, the outpost came to report that Liu Bei's army was repairing Zhuang Bridge.
At this time, Sun Ce had just fallen asleep and could not care about so much.
On the second day and night, Chen Dao followed Zhao Chen's instructions and the same pattern happened again.
This caused Sun Ce's army to stay awake all night. Each of the soldiers had dark circles under their eyes, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu gnashed their teeth in hatred.
Sun Ce quickly went to Zhou Yu to discuss: "Continuing like this is not an option. Our army cannot sleep at night, and we have to be prepared for Liu Bei's army to kill during the day. By now, we are exhausted and our combat effectiveness has plummeted."
Zhou Yu also clenched his fists and resented Zhao Chen very much: "This man has ulterior motives and teases our army over and over again. It's really intolerable. Bo Fu, our army must take the initiative to attack tonight and catch them off guard."
Sun Ce immediately slammed the table and shouted: "Okay! Capture Liu Bei and Zhao Chen alive!"
On the evening of the third day, Zhao Chen summoned all the soldiers to Liu Bei's camp.
"Lord, after two consecutive days of harassment, I see that Sun Ce's camp has gradually become chaotic. Our army has no time to repair the Zhuang Bridge. They have no time to take care of it. It is certain that Zhou Yu will not be able to sit still."
Guan Yu hurriedly said: "What the military advisor means is that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will definitely attack our camp tonight?"
Zhao Chen nodded: "Our army's overnight harassment made them completely lose the initiative. Zhou Yu will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. Instead of holding on, it is better for them to take the initiative to sneak attack while our army is preparing for a night attack and catch our army off guard." . Even if our army did not prepare for a night attack, Sun Ce's army would regard it as a night attack by them, and it would be a good deal after all."
"The military advisor is playing tricks on Zhou Yu!"
Everyone laughed.
After hearing Zhao Chen's explanation, everyone understood the actions of the previous two days.
"I didn't expect that the military advisor also knows how to engage in psychological warfare! He is so virtuous that he is like a fish in water!"
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "A commander can be invincible only if he knows astronomy and geography, understands the current situation, and understands people's hearts."
Although everyone already understood Zhao Chen's intentions, they still had to rely on Zhao Chen on how to march and set up the formation.
So everyone turned their attention to Zhao Chen again.
"Commander, give the order!"
"Yes, military advisor, give the order so that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can never come back."
Zhao Chen was very pleased to see Chen Dao and Guan Yu's eyes shining brightly at the same time.
Liu Bei also said: "Since Houde has anticipated the night attack, he must have a countermeasure."
Zhao Chen nodded and said: "In the next battle, everyone please work together."
"Guan Yu obeys the order!"
Guan Yu took a step forward and said: "Guan Yu is here!"
"Xianhe Zhuangqiao has been repaired. I order you to lead one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry to cross the river quickly. When you see a fire on the north, you will lead a group of cavalry to sneak attack behind Sun Ce's camp, and two thousand infantry will march towards Guangling City. Remember not to be reluctant to fight, After fighting in from the south, they turned to the west and fought out, joining the infantry in the woods fifteen miles east of Guangling City. After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were defeated, they must return to Guangling overnight. The woods here are the only way to go, and they are also the reinforcements of Guangling City. At that time, the general will wait for Sun Ce to join the reinforcements, and then lead the troops to attack first with fire and then cover them up, so that they can subdue a large number of sailors without capturing the two alive."
"Guan Yu takes the order."
"Chen arrives and obeys the order."
Chen Dao clasped his hands and said, "Chen Dao is here!"
"I order you to lead five thousand elite soldiers, divide them into two groups, one group is in the south, and the other group is in the north, and ambush outside the military camp. When the fire breaks out in the military camp, lead the army to attack, attack from the north and south, and form an encirclement and suppression force. At this time, Sun Ce's army will definitely withdraw. Fenghuang River, you beat the drums and shout, and shoot with bows and arrows. Do not pursue. Turn south and cross the Zhuang Bridge, bypass the woods where Yun Chang is, go straight to the small soil slope ten miles northeast of Guangling City, and wait until dawn. Then fight back to the east gate of Guangling City."
"Chen is here to take orders."
Zhao Chen turned to Liu Bei again: "Lord."
Liu Bei replied respectfully: "Liu Bei is here!"
Zhao Chen understood that this was for Guan Yu to see, so that Guan Yu could understand that Zhao Chen had the greatest order at this time.
Zhao Chen understood and said: "My lord led three thousand troops and ambush in the camp. When he saw Sun Ce's army coming in, he fought and retreated. When he arrived at the rear camp, he fired back rockets and set fire to the camp. After Chen arrived and his army entered, they could Return to cover up the attack and drive Sun Ce's army to the Fenghuang River."
"It's an order."
"Xianhe, lead a thousand troops, prepare rope barbs, wait for Sun Ce's army to come ashore, detour behind, sneak attack on the ships, take down as many ships as possible, and evacuate immediately after winning. Send all the ships to Fanliang Lake, Fanliang Lake In the opposite direction of Guangling, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will definitely not pursue."
"Jian Yong takes the order."
"All soldiers must obey orders and cooperate to win this battle."
Everyone took the order and left.
Liu Bei said with admiration: "Listening to the military advisors deploying troops is like listening to a great drama. It's very good, very good!"
Zhao Chen smiled slightly, didn't he say these words to Zhuge Liang, and he said them to me again.
