When the Jiangdong Army raised their tent and discussed, only Mi Fang had seen Cao Wu. He insisted that the other party was Cao Wu, the general of Beifu. However, few people believed that this strategy was made by an unknown person. Even Pang Tong was not sure.
He was extremely depressed and went out of the camp to relax. Outside the military camp, soldiers were always vigilant on the other side of the river.
Jiangdong Army also had people to guard the ships. Their camp was located half a stone's throw away from the river bank, leaving a gap between them and the fleet.
Suddenly, a head appeared in the river. There were soldiers guarding the camp raising their bows to shoot. Mi Fang's sharp eyes saw the man waving at them and quickly stopped him.
When everyone saw that there was only one person, they went over to check, but they saw that it was Huang Gai swimming in.
They helped Huang Gai ashore, only to find that Huang Gai had been hit by an arrow. He had been injured by a military stick and was already dying.
The soldiers looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how Huang Gai managed to swim back with such an injury, and they could only sigh at General Huang's natural power.
When they heard that Huang Gai was back, the generals came out to greet him. They all felt sad when they saw Huang Gai's appearance.
Lu Meng said: "Who is the enemy's military advisor? When I find out, I will cut him into pieces!"
Huang Gai smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't come back by myself, but I was carried and thrown here by the female thief in white yesterday."
It turned out that the flank of Huang Gai's army was exposed in front of the five-toothed ship. They fought hard on the river, but there was fire on the ship and they could not turn back to their own camp. All his soldiers, including the lieutenants, were killed in the battle. Huang Gai also had the will to die and killed several enemy soldiers. , has already been killed by the neck. Unexpectedly, a white light intercepted him and turned out to be the female thief in white.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Gai witnessed a miracle.
The female thief in white crossed the river on a bamboo pole and reached the other side without her trouser legs getting wet.
Huang Gai was secretly surprised, and then he realized why his army didn't know how she crossed the river.
The river is so vast that if she hadn't taken a boat, she wouldn't have been discovered.
Not far from the camp gate, the woman threw him into the river. Before leaving, she said: "General Huangfu's old love is over, and there is no longer a family of General Huangfu in the world!"
Huang Gai then swam back to the camp in despair.
After hearing this, all the generals sighed. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has gone through more than twenty years of hard war, and things have changed. Huangfu Song, who was so powerful in the past, only passed down his martial arts, but not his family. A generation of famous generals and families eventually disappeared.
Everyone returned to the tent and continued to argue about who was riding the red horse. A few people vaguely had the answer in their minds, but were not sure.
The term "strategist" became popular only in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The term "strategist" was a subordinate of the Sangong or the General's Mansion. He was in charge of strategy and had no military power.
In the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao first established the post of military advisor to offer wine, and appointed Guo Fengxiao of Yingchuan as the military advisor to offer wine, and he was the first to advise the officials. In the history that Cao Wu experienced, Liu Bei later set up the two positions of Military Advisor Zhonglang and Military Advisor General. With Zhuge Liang as the Military Advisor General, the Military Advisor was able to take charge of the military.
Now the prime minister's military advisor in Cao's camp is Dong Zhao, who succeeded Guo Jia. However, he did not accompany the southern expedition army, but was in the northeast handling water transportation matters.
And all the generals of the Jiangdong Army knew that the man riding the red horse had already set off when Cao Cao's army was setting off when Chai Sang was making trouble, so he couldn't be one of the counselors accompanying the army.
Jiangdong Army had long bribed Xizuo to inquire about the people who had entered the camp recently, and reported that Cao Wu, the general of Beifu, had killed the camp gate captain before, but he was not charged.
This man was riding a red horse, but Cao Wu was not seen in any battles. It was only because the horse trampled the scholar that it was widely rumored recently.
In recent times, the reputation of the Seven Words Saint has also spread to Jiangdong.
Mi Fang once again proposed that the opponent's military advisor was Cao Wu. A smart person like Zhou Yu thought of the sentence "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain", and I believed it in my heart.
"If it is really Cao Wu, Cao Cao's younger brother, the Cao family would be really scary."
Ling Tong chuckled: "It's just a fight to the death, so why be afraid of him!"
Amidst the divergent opinions, Zhou Yu came up with another plan.
Late at night, he led Lu Meng, Lu Xun and others, a total of more than ten cavalry, out of the military tent, walked west for more than ten miles, came to a hilltop, pointed to the other side of the river and said: "I have made a plan, let's send people to cross here at night If you set up obstacles in the rear of the Yangtze River to cut off the enemy's food routes, the enemy's population will be too large and they will suffer, and they will be relieved soon!"
The generals looked at the terrain here, and even Pang Tong admired: "The river here is narrow, and it is easy to land on the opposite bank, which is suitable for the night crossing of strange soldiers. But west of Wulin, everything is blocked by thief patrol ships. How can our ship past?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Boat? We don't need a boat!"
Pang Tong thought of Huang Gai swimming across the river, and then he slapped his forehead: "Jiangdong athletes, you are really good at water!"
The generals were discussing by the river, but no one noticed that there was a strange woman in white, with her feet on a bamboo pole, hiding not far from the river.
There were a lot of people in their group, and although they didn't dare to light a torch, they were still easily seen. However, the woman in white was in the dark, and no one noticed.
The next day, the rain that lasted for seven or eight days continued, and the two armies fought again on a small scale and ended in a draw.
After these few days of military training, Zhuge Liang gradually became familiar with troop formations and integrated what he had learned in his mind with on-site practice.
"This is what Mr. Wang said, one of the realms of unity of knowledge and action."
Zhuge Liang felt at ease, and if it was sunny tomorrow, he would have the confidence to start a decisive battle.
It's just that transportation of grain and grass in the army is not easy, so they have to wait for the arrival of new grain and grass before they have any worries.
That night, Lu Meng, Pang Tong and others led a thousand people to the bank of the Yangtze River they had seen yesterday. This time, they marched in secret without torches, relying entirely on the generals who had been here yesterday to guide them.
Jiangdong's army was familiar with water properties. Although it was difficult to cross the Yangtze River at night, it was not difficult for these elite soldiers.
Jiangdong general Dong Xi led the troops, and all the soldiers went into the water separately.
However, even though everyone was wearing warm clothes, the cold water in the river was still quite painful.
Both Yuan Lin and Mi Fang couldn't stand it. Jiangdong's army has been fighting the hardest battle, but Liu Bei's army has made no achievements.
Pang Tong looked at Yuan Lin and Mi Fang. Mi Fang gritted her teeth and said, "I also know the nature of water. If not, just follow me!"
He had a simple mind. He had lost several times before, but Cao Jun didn't know about this night crossing. As long as he destroyed the road that Cao Jun used to transport troops, he would be back before dawn. It was very safe and he could make up for his mistakes.
Pang Tong nodded, patted Mi Fang's shoulder heavily and said: "Everything is for the lord, this battle will definitely avenge your brother!"
Mi Fang's eyes turned red after hearing this, and she hugged a small piece of driftwood.
After all, his water skills are not as good as those of these soldiers. It is normal for him to have driftwood on the river surface, so he is not afraid of being discovered.
Dong Xi took the lead in the water. Halfway through his swim, he suddenly asked everyone to stop and dive into the river temporarily.
On the river, a Cao Jun patrol boat passed by but did not find them.
After the thrill, everyone finally arrived at the north bank.
Dong Xi gasped for air, rested for a while, then asked everyone to get up and quickly destroy the grain road.
Cao's army had too many people, so only water and land transportation could be carried out at the same time to supply food and grass. The two strategic fulcrums of Xiangyang and Jiangling, under the management of Cao Hong, continued to transport food and grass to the front line.
However, there is eight hundred miles of Yunmeng Daze on the north bank of the Yangtze River. This is the largest lake in ancient China. The closest place to the Yangtze River is only more than one mile.
The land between the Yangtze River and Yunmengze is muddy and full of swamps, which is not suitable for large-scale marches, and transporting food is not easy. Cao Hong's people worked hard and finally opened up a land passage to transport grain to Wulin.
Dong Xi ordered all his men and horses, and Mi Fang each led 500 men, occupying a section of the grain road and taking action.
They took out the prepared tools, shovels, axes, etc. and began to destroy.
However, just as Mi Fang was about to shovel the soil away with a shovel, she felt the soil moving.
He looked up in panic and saw dust rolling not far away, as if cavalry were charging into battle.
He looked at the sky subconsciously. It was covered with dark clouds and there were no stars.
This is Zishi. Cao Jun’s cavalry doesn’t sleep at all. Why come here to charge?
Obviously, it is aimed at them!
It's over, this plan failed again.
With red eyes, Mi Fang glanced at everyone holding shovels and axes, knowing that this battle was impossible to fight.
Unless everyone is Lu Bu, who can use a shovel to block the cavalry?
He shouted: "Enemy attack! Run!"
However, it was already too late, the cavalry massacre had already begun.
What's more, this cavalry is led by Cao Chun and Cao Zihe.
This cavalry is called Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
The most elite cavalry of Cao's army had been cruising on the north bank of the Yangtze River for a month, and finally waited for the moment to drink blood.
