This sentence made many people look at each other.
It had been raining for days, making it unsuitable for sailing, and the army was hiding. Many people actually complained about it.
They didn't know that apart from the rain, Zhuge Liang was still getting familiar with the command, which was one of the reasons for the delay in the decisive battle.
Now that the rain is about to stop, Zhuge Liang is almost ready, and the decisive battle can no longer be postponed. They have too many soldiers, and every day of delay is a big test for logistics. Xun Lingjun will scold him once, and Cao Awu, the chief steward of Beifu, will feel heartache.
Cao Wu gave them time to think. When he felt that everyone had figured it out, he asked again: "What do the generals think?"
Xu Huang held the mountain ax in his hand and shouted: "Fight!"
Le Jin touched the long sword and shouted: "Fight!"
The young generals Cao Zhen and Xia Houshang shouted at the top of their lungs: "Fight!"
Man Chong, Yang Xiu and other civil servants said: "Fight!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Even the scribes who could not lift their swords were infected by the emotion and shouted along.
Tremendous shouts erupted from the three five-toothed ships.
The soldiers, who had previously been attracted by the songs of the North and felt homesick, were attracted by the shouts.
There have been rumors in the army that Jiangdong assassins stabbed Cao Cao to death, and there were indeed many strange things on the day of the assassination.
Now, they know that the person who died was just a Taizhong doctor who was of no importance to them, and the rumors that were spreading were just rumors.
Now they felt that the generals in the army were eager to fight. The soldiers were no longer weak and were gearing up.
Yang Xiu looked around and saw that he had fallen into a sea of excited people.
He knows the inside story. He had learned about Cao Wu's previous strategies from Zhuge Liang, and he was doubtful about them. He also didn't trust Cao Wu, but he didn't expect that Cao Wu could mobilize the morale of the entire army in just a few words.
"It turns out that the Prime Minister's brother actually has such abilities!"
In the corner, Cao Zhi clenched his fists and felt tremendous pressure.
These days, his unobtrusive uncle has simply subverted his cognition.
He always thought that he was the second in the Cao family in martial arts and first in literary talent. However, the sudden rise of Cao Wu separated many of his ideas.
He didn't shout out loud, but shouted in his heart: "Brother good-for-nothing, after returning to Beijing, we may need to join forces to deal with this uncle!"
A cough interrupted his thoughts. Cao Chong looked at Cao Wu on the high platform with bright eyes, full of admiration.
Cao Zhi took great care of his frail and sickly concubine brother. Now that he saw him worshiping Cao Wu like this, he felt even more annoyed.
Cao Zhi whispered: "At least in terms of literary talent, I am better than him. I have never seen him compose poetry live."
It was at this time that Cao Cao, who was pretending to be Cao Wu, said again: "I am alone on the huge ship, seeing the picturesque scenery of Nanping Mountain, looking to the east of Chaisang, looking to the west of Xiakou River, looking to the south of Fanshan Mountain, and looking to the north Wulin, looking around is vast, so lucky."
Hearing the four words "fortunately", everyone's ears stood up. Those who were still crying and shouting just now listened to what Cao Cao had to say.
At this time, poems and poems, four-character ancient poems, often ended with "Fortunately, I sing my ambition".
Everyone knows that Cao Cao is well-equipped in literature, Taoism and military strategy, and has written many four-character ancient poems that are popular. I wonder what poems Cao Cao will write this time.
Cao Wuji pointed at Jiangdong and said: "Zhou Yu and Lu Su don't know the weather!"
He also pointed to Xiakou: "Liu Bei and Pang Tong, the worms shake the trees!"
This angry curse once again focused everyone's attention.
Cao Wu poured the newly added wine into the Yangtze River and drank the wine near the river.
Everyone present followed suit and poured water from the cup into the river.
Cao Wuyan burst out laughing, took a long stick from Xu Chu's hand, and laughed and said: "With this stick alone, I can defeat the Yellow Turban, capture Lu Bu, destroy Yuan Shu, and subdue Yuan Shao, go deep into the northern part of the Great Wall, reach Liaodong, and conquer the world." , It quite lives up to the ambition of a man! This scene is very generous today. I will sing a song, and you will join in!"
As smart as Yang Xiu and others, they had already taken advantageous objects, such as bamboo boards, and prepared to knock on the boats to make peace with Cao Wu's singing.
Cao Wuheng stood on the bow of the boat with his hand in hand, and calmly recited the poem that would be known to all primary school students in later generations.
"Singing to wine, what's life like? It's like morning dew, the past days are so bitter..."
…
Facing the turbulent river, Zhou Yu had no idea of composing a poem at all. He had already heard about the loud shouting of Cao Jun's men on the opponent's five-toothed ship, and knew that just as he had guessed, the opponent had already solved his "all around north" situation. The strategy of "song" also inspired the morale of the army.
He said to Lu Xun next to him: "Pass the order, we will rebel at the third watch today, and send troops at the fifth watch. As long as it is still sunny, we will attack the enemy camp before dawn!"
Lu Xun said excitedly: "Here!"
…
"Generosity should be treated with generosity, and worries are unforgettable. How can we relieve them? Only Du Kang..."
…
To the west of Chibi is Miangkou City.
Guan Yu descended from the city, and the enemy troops retreated. He was finally able to take a rest. It is expected that there will be another battle tomorrow.
He looked at the moon above his head and knew that the rain had stopped and the decisive battle at Miangkou was not far away.
Zhang Fei and Gan Ning each held a wine glass and had a drink. They still wanted to fight. They did not dare to drink to their heart's content. After a glass of Dukang, their worries continued.
Outside the city, young general Guanqiu Jian was sharpening his long sword. Late at night, he would lead a surprise attack, trying to reach the top of Miangkou City before the sun came up.
Zhao Yan, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Wenpin, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Zhu Ling, and Lu Zhao were all ready to attack.
…
"Qingqing Zijin is so long in my heart, but for the sake of you, I still ponder it..."
…
Liu Bei personally counted the logs that had just been transported to Xiakou City.
He has been setting up defenses in Xiakou for more than a month, and he has not been idle. Every day that passes, Xiakou City becomes stronger.
Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi rode over. Within a year, he encountered great changes one after another. His father died, his younger brother usurped the throne, Jingzhou was lost, and he was left to die. From a handsome young man, he has become as thin as a bamboo pole.
Liu Qi asked: "Your Majesty, can we really resist Cao Cao's thieves?"
While helping to move the logs, Liu Bei said: "But do your best and listen to fate."
He is confident, relying on Xiakou City. Can resist Zhao Yan's seven armies for one year.
But what if the main force of Cao's army comes?
Hundreds of thousands of people, how could his Xiakou stop them?
Therefore, he actually had another idea in his mind, and Long Zhong's strategy of entering Shu was popping up in his mind every moment.
…
"As we travel across the country, we spend time together in vain. We talk about banquets together, and we miss our old kindness."
…
Hefei is far away from Chibi and Xiakou, so it doesn't rain every day. However, in just a few days, the city of Hefei has become like hell.
Sun Quan gave the order to attack the city, and Cheng Pu personally supervised the battle. Jiangdong Army had been attacking continuously for several days.
For several days, Jiangdong's army was attacking the city day and night, even when it rained.
That night, someone from Jiangdong Army once again stood on the top of the city.
Since Sun Quan's banner appeared in Cheng Pu's army, this is the fourteenth time they have attacked the city wall.
The man who was the first to climb the city was hit by several arrows. He laughed loudly and shouted: "This is Zhou Youping of Jiujiang, and Hefei is under my feet!"
It was Jiangdong general Zhou Tai who took the lead and attacked the city wall.
With a "swish" sound, a sharp arrow shot down the city. When Cao Ren went over to look, Zhou Tai fell from such a high city wall, but like an immortal body, he stood up in a blink of an eye and pointed at the city head angrily. After cursing a few words, he climbed up again.
"What a great general."
Cao Ren sighed and nodded towards Sima Yi who was shooting arrows in the dark.
Wen Hui, the governor of Yangzhou, came over with dry lips. In the middle of the year, Liu Fu, the governor of Yangzhou, died of illness. Wen Hui was ordered to replace the governor of Yangzhou. Because Yangzhou was close to the Jiangdong front line, he was aware of a tough battle. But he didn't expect that this battle would be so painful.
He also didn't expect that Sima Yi, the literary agent of the prime minister's office, had amazing archery skills. He said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, I didn't expect that you are both civil and military. You shot well just now! The Prime Minister is as kind as a mountain to us. Next time the bandit army goes to the tower again, I will rely on you!"
Sima Yi put down his long bow and sighed in his heart.
People here are crazy, both inside and outside the city. People who can obviously besiege the city, but they attack the city day and night. People who can obviously abandon the city, but they don't want to abandon the people.
The war made them all crazy.
…
"The moon and stars are sparse, and the magpie flies south, circling the tree three times, with no branches to rely on."
…
Chen Dao stuck his spear on the ground. Beside him, half of the soldiers who followed him to find Xia Houyuan were dead, leaving only more than a hundred people.
They were looking for a boat to cross the river, not back to Pang Tong, but back to Xiakou.
He knew that Xia Houyuan had also fled with the villagers, but he didn't want to chase him.
He looked toward the river in the west, wondering what was happening to the main forces of Zhou Yu and Pang Tong at this time. He then looked across the river in the north and said with a wry smile: "Military advisor, I, Uncle Chen, are really not suitable for such an outrageous thing. Death from epidemics is really serious. It’s harmful to Tianhe!”
…
"The mountains never get too high, the sea never gets too deep, the Duke of Zhou feeds, and the world returns to its heart!"
When Cao Wu shouted the four words Zhou Gong Tubu, there was no sound on the three five-toothed ships.
When the four words "Gui Xin" came to an end, everyone was impressed by this new poem, whether it was civil servants, generals, or celebrities.
Cao Zhi's hands were shaking. Others, including Yang Xiu, thought that the poem was written by Cao Cao. Only Cao Zhi knew that it was written by Cao Wu because he had never heard his father mention the inspiration for the poem.
He knew that he heard a song that would be praised for thousands of years. Even if the world changes in the future, with this poem, Cao Wu will be passed down through the ages.
This made Cao Zhi feel that Cao Wu was too scary and he had to do something.
Cao Wu himself was not interested in the admiration of others. He was not proud of copying the poem. Anyway, he read the poem as Cao Cao himself, and outsiders would only think that it was Cao Cao.
Now, he had one last thing to do.
He said: "Since the uprising, I have been working with the country to eliminate evil and harm, and I have vowed to sweep away the four seas and level the world! Jiangnan is the place that has never been conquered. Now there are millions of powerful troops, and it depends on the lives of the public, so there is no need to worry about failure!" "
The spirit of everyone present has been mobilized to the extreme. This spirit will be passed on to all soldiers and will boost the morale of the entire army.
General Cao Wu raised his head and shouted: "Make food at the third watch and send out troops at the fifth watch. Be ready before morning! Generals, follow me early tomorrow morning - destroy the Jiangdong Army!"
"Destroy Jiangdong's army!"
The generals agreed with a roar.
With the five-toothed ship as the center, the morale in the continuous Cao camp was high.
…
The moon and stars are sparse, and the black magpie flies south. Isn’t this a poem by Cao Mengde? Looking to the west of Xiakou and to the east of Wuchang, the mountains and rivers are close to each other, and the sky is green. Isn't this what Meng De was trapped in Zhou Lang? Fang Qi defeated Jingzhou, went down to Jiangling, followed the river to the east, sailed boats for thousands of miles, and covered the sky with banners. Drinking wine by the river, writing poems across the river, you have been a hero for a lifetime, how are you now?
