It has been six days since the allied forces of Cao Cao and Sun Liu faced off across the river, but the training of the sailors on Cao Cao's side has not been effective, which makes Prime Minister Cao very dissatisfied.
"How is our army's water warfare training going? When will we be able to cross the river?"
Facing Cao Cao's inquiry, Yu Jin and Mao Jie, who were commanders of the navy, had their backs full of light and hesitated for a long time, unable to answer.
"Prime Minister, there is a man outside who calls himself Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. He wants to see you and offers advice."
Cao Cao was watching Yu Jin and Mao Jie worrying when he suddenly heard a report from the soldiers and thought for a moment.
"Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan...this name sounds familiar."
Jia Xu on the side explained: "Prime Minister, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, known as Fengchu, have been famous for their talents since they were young. Sima Hui even said that Wolong and Fengchu would be able to settle the world. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it shows that this person He is very knowledgeable."
"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Feng Chu wants to offer some advice, please come and invite me soon~!"
Cao Cao sat on the throne. After a while, the soldiers ushered in a man. This man was dressed in simple clothes and had an elegant temperament. Although he was the prime minister of the dynasty, he still behaved neither humble nor overbearing, and bowed his hands in salute.
"Pang Shiyuan has met Prime Minister Cao."
"Hehehe~ No gifts, no gifts. I didn't expect Mr. Feng Chu to visit today. I wonder if you have any advice?"
Pang Tong spoke in a low tone and in a low tone: "Prime Minister, Shi Yuan passed by here and saw the Prime Minister's troops stationed at Wulin Water Village. After asking, he learned that the Prime Minister was confronting Zhou Yu from the east of the Yangtze River across the river, and he also saw the Prime Minister's army. Most of them are infantry from the north and are not good at water warfare, so they took the liberty to visit and offer a plan."
"Oh? Mr. Fengchu, do you have any good ideas to help me defeat the enemy?"
"Actually, it's very simple. Most of the prime minister's men are northern infantry. If you want to master water warfare in a short time, it's like ascending to the sky. It's better to use another method to connect the big ships tightly with iron chains, so that the warships are connected as one. On land, in this way, the disadvantage of the northern soldiers who are not good at water warfare can be solved in a short period of time, and then with the numerical advantage, the whole army can be used to defeat the enemy. Shi Yuan called this strategy the iron chain strategy."
"The iron chain chain story...wonderful, wonderful~ Wen He, this plan is very clever~!"
When Cao Cao heard Pang Tong's suggestion, his face was happy and he hurriedly looked to Jia Xu aside, as if asking for his opinion.
Jia Xu raised his eyelids slightly, looked at Pang Tong for a moment, and said in a calm voice: "Mr. Feng Chu's plan is very clever, but if the warships are connected together, they lose their due mobility. What if the enemy attacks with fire?" good?"
Pang Tong seemed to have expected that someone would ask this question, and smiled slightly and said: "What Mr. Wenhe said is absolutely true, but in this season the wind blowing on the river is from the west or south. If the enemy attacks with fire, he will be burned first." Water Village? The Prime Minister doesn’t need to worry at all.”
After hearing Pang Tong's explanation, Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, Mr. Feng Chu is right. The west or southwest wind has been blowing on the river these days, and Zhou Yu's son did not dare to attack with fire at all."
Cao Cao seemed to have made a decision in his heart. He looked at Yu Jin and Mao Jie, who had just been scolded by him, and said, "Did you two hear clearly? Mr. Feng Chu has a great plan. Go down quickly to prepare and use iron chains to lock them down." The warships are connected and fixed to make them one piece, so that our soldiers no longer have to worry about falling into the water, so go quickly."
Yu Jin and Mao Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. They felt that Pang Tong had come at the right time to relieve the two of them, so they hurriedly retreated.
Cao Cao looked at Pang Tong with a smile and said: "Mr. Fengchu seems to have not joined the officialdom yet, right? Why don't you become a counselor under my account? I can recommend it to your majesty. Mr. Fengchu has such a great talent but is living in the countryside. Don't you think so?" Is it a pity?”
Pang Tong smiled and bowed and said: "Shi Yuan, thank you for your kindness, but Shi Yuan thinks that his knowledge is still insufficient and needs more practice and improvement. Please rest assured, Prime Minister, if Shi Yuan wants to become an official one day, he will definitely visit you personally." , when the time comes, please ask the Prime Minister to reward me with an official position."
"Hahaha~~ It's easy to talk, come here, take some money and give it to sir. This time, sir, you can relieve our army's urgent need~!"
As soon as Pang Tong's iron chain plan came out, Cao Cao's other two counselors Cheng Yu and Xun You realized that something was wrong. They came to ask Cao Cao to take back their orders and listed several hidden dangers. However, our Prime Minister Cao had made up his mind. In addition, the southwesterly wind has been blowing recently, so Cheng Yu's suggestion of fear of fire attacks was rebuffed by him. Seeing this, Xun You said nothing more, but the look of worry on his face became a little heavier.
In the Chibi military camp, Zhao Yi, who had led the troops for training for a day, was about to go back to rest. Suddenly, someone sent a message saying that his book boy wanted to see him for something.
"My book boy wants to ask me to give him a message? This military advisor is real. Aren't you afraid of being found out?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and went straight into Zhuge Liang's tent without thinking too much.
But when he entered, he discovered that in addition to Zhuge Liang, there was a stranger sitting in the tent. This man was short in stature, with a round face, and an elegant dress. Although he looked ordinary, his gestures and gestures showed his aura. He is different.
"Who is this......"
When Zhuge Liang saw Zhao Yi coming in, he waved and said in a low voice: "Hongfei, this is my good friend, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan."
Of course, Zhao Yi was familiar with this name. He looked up and down in surprise and said, "Is this Mr. Feng Chu? It's better to see once than to hear a hundred times."
When he first looked at him, Zhao Yi felt that this man had an extraordinary temperament hidden behind his ordinary appearance. But when he heard that this was Pang Tong, he was a little surprised, because all the Pang Tongs depicted in movies and TV series were ugly. generation, and although the person in front of me is not as good as Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, he is not comparable to Chou. There is really a gap between romance and official history.
Pang Tong stood up and clasped his fists in return and said: "Young hero, he is really a young hero. Just now, Brother Kong Ming said that this boy is only seventeen years old. I was quite puzzled. But now I am amazed when I see him~!"
Pang Tong and Zhao Yi seemed to like each other, and their first impressions of each other were very good.
Zhuge Liang smiled and motioned for the two of them to sit down. He came closer and whispered: "Hongfei, I called Shiyuan when I was writing a letter to Master. He has two purposes for this trip. One is to pass on Master's letter. The second is to help us defeat Cao’s army.”
Zhao Yi naturally knew why Pang Tong came, so he raised his hand to signal Zhuge Liang to stop talking. He pretended to pinch each other with the fingers of his left hand a few times, like a magic stick.
"Commander Mo Yan, let me do the math...Did Mr. Shi Yuan come here this time to offer a plan for Cao Cao, called the Iron Lock Chain Plan?"
"this......"
As soon as Zhao Yi said these words, Pang Tong's calm expression suddenly froze and became a little unbelievable.
He glanced at Zhuge Liang, who was also quite surprised, and then explained: "Hongfei had an adventure when he was young and got the true biography of the immortal. He didn't expect that he had the ability to do calculations. Yes, Shi Yuan did offer Cao Cao The chain-link plan, does Hongfei know the meaning of this plan?"
Zhao Yi pinched his fingers again, shook his head and said: "This is not a problem for me. Mr. Shiyuan's plan is called the Lianlian Plan. It seems to be dedicated to Cao Cao, but in fact it is dedicated to our army. As long as you cooperate with me The borrowed east wind, combined with the fire attack, can burn the iron-locked ships and defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop.”
At this time, both Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were silent. They looked at each other with unspeakable surprise and even a trace of envy on their expressions.
"Kong Ming, you just said that this young hero is rare, but I still have reservations. Now it seems that he is not only a young hero, but also a fairy banished from the sky and accidentally fell into the mortal world~!"
