Chapter 50 Forty-eighth Banquet on the Yangtze River Cao Cao Composed Poems to Lock Battleships and the Northern Army Used Arms

[Previously, after the main text of Kan Zezhuan Cao Cao, there was a side text of Earning Ercai; now after the main text of Pang Tongxian's Lianhuan, there is a side text of saving Xu Shu.The emphasis is on the text, not the side text.However, by earning Ercai's writing about Gan Ning, not only Gan Ning is not left out, but Huang Gai is exaggerating; to save Xu Shu and Ma Teng, not only is Xu Shu not neglecting, but Ma Teng is not forgetting.There is such a natural and wonderful thing, and it is a natural and wonderful essay, which is beyond the imagination of today's barnyard officials.

There is the most frustrating thing in the world, and there must be the happiest thing in the past.When writing about the defeat of Chibi, first write that its axis is thousands of miles away, and the flags cover the sky; when writing about Huarong's run, first write that it looks east at Wuchang and west at Xiakou.If Gai Zhi is not complacent and dissatisfied, and if he is not arrogant and arrogant, then the harm will not be serious and the disaster will not come quickly.Writing about King Wu is about the joy of picking lotus, not for picking lotus, but for Yongdong;However, Cao Cao's poems written horizontally, his husband's difference in picking lotus and Xiang Yu's night banquet!

When Cao Cao is dancing and singing, he is also full of ambition.And the song is about worrying, thinking and unforgettable, and it says how to relieve worry, and it also says that worry comes from it, so why should it be happy and worry?Those who are in Gai Le are worried. The words of "Tan Gong" say: Paddle Si Tao, Tao Si chant, Chan Si dance, Wu Si resentment, resentment Si Qi, Qi Si sigh.Chun Yuzhi satirized the King of Qi, saying: "You can't be extremely happy, but extreme joy begets sorrow."It is not only that the black magpie flying south is a sign of the failure of the southern expedition, but also that its wine is facing the river, and it is known that its worries will reach the ears.

The ancients also had those who made good use of their writings.The songs of chess and spears often quote the sentences of "Feng" and "Ya"; and Po Gong's "Red Cliff Fu" also uses the meaning of Cao Cao's songs.It is said to be like resentment like admiration, like weeping like complaining, that is to say, worry comes from it and cannot be cut off; Death does not grow and fade, that is to say, it is as bright as the moon, when can it stop.I take the writings of the ancients as my writings, and I also see how well they are used; if they are used well, they must be fabricated by people today!

Every strategy is clever, if you want the enemy to use my strategy and lose, there must be those who don't use my strategy and lose with the heart of the enemy, so Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan's defeat is also true.Wu is a fool, and he has a series of tricks.Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan were defeated in a boat without rings, so that Cao Cao knew the disadvantages of not using chains, but the ambition of using chains would be more decisive.Every strategy is wonderful, if I want to implement this strategy and win, there must be someone who does not use this strategy and wins to put an end to the doubts of the enemy, so Han Dang and Zhou Tai's victory is also true.What Wu wants to use is the strategy of attacking with fire.Han Dang and Zhou Taisheng used the boat without fire to let Cao know that Soochow did not need to use fire, but it was unexpected for Cao to use fire.People only know that the offering of Lianhuan in the previous round and the burning of Chibi in the second round were Zhou Lang's work to destroy Cao Cao, but this time it seems that the former and the latter are worthless in idle writing.

The strategy of attacking with fire was known not only by Kong Ming, Gong Jin, Pang Tong, and Huang Gai, but also by Xu Shu, Cheng Yu, and Xun You.Xu Shu didn't say it for the sake of practice, but You and Yu did it for the sake of practice;Gai Cao knows that the wind is not good for the east, but he doesn't know how to borrow it; he knows that the fire is not good for the south, but he doesn't know that the fire can turn to the north.There are people who return to heaven, but heaven is also unknowable; there is a heaven that helps people, but people are also unknowable. There are those who are contrary to the following, and those who are quoted from the following.For example, Cao sings while facing the river, and Yu falls when touched by the wind, which is the opposite of what follows; Liu Fu regards the singing of a black magpie as an ominous sign, and Zhou Yu uses the folding of a yellow flag as a sign, which is also quoted from the following.If it is not opposite, the following things will not be strange, and if they are not cited, then the following things will not appear.It can be seen that the changes in the illusion of things are unexpected, and it is not unexpected. 】

But when Pang Tong heard the words, he was taken aback and looked back at him anxiously. It turned out that it was Xu Shu. 【Xu Shu has always been in the cold, but now he suddenly appears. 】Seeing that it is an old friend, I will be determined.Looking back at no one left and right, Nai said: If you tell me to break my plan, it's a pity that you gave away all the people in the eighty-one states in the south of the Yangtze River!The concubine laughed and said: "There are 830,000 horses here. How are their lives?" [It’s really two Bodhisattvas speaking. 】Tong said: Yuan Zhi really wants to break my plan?The concubine said: "I am grateful to Uncle Liu Huang for his kindness, and I have never forgotten to repay it."Cao Cao sent my mother to die. I have already said that I will never plan in my life. 】Anken is a good way to break brother today?It's just that I am also here with the army. After the army is defeated, jade and stone are not separated, how can it be avoided?You should teach me the art of escape, and I will keep my mouth shut and avoid it. [In the past, hundreds of thousands of souls were used as an example, but now they are only trying to escape. ] Tong said with a smile: Yuan Zhi is so farsighted, forgive me what is so difficult!The concubine said, "May I teach you, sir."Tong went to Xu Shu's ear and said a few words. [The beauty is not to explain clearly. 】Thank you very much.Pang Tong bid farewell to Xu Shu, disembarked and returned to Jiangdong.

Let's say that Xu Shu secretly sent his neighbors to the villages to spread rumors that night. [Following the ears and whispering the plan begins here. 】The next day, in the village, there were three, three, five, five, whispering among each other.Cao Cao had been informed by investigators that there were rumors in the army that Han Sui and Ma Teng in Xiliang Prefecture had conspired against each other and rushed to kill Xu Dulai. [The two have always been in the cold, so it's better to mention photos here.If there is such a thing, it is really a happy thing; if there is no such thing, it is also a fast article. ] Cao Cao was shocked, and hurriedly gathered all the advisers to discuss, saying: "I led the troops to march south, and those who worry about me are Han Sui and Ma Teng'er."Rumors in the army, although not true or false, must be guarded against. [It's inconvenient to believe, but I have to believe it. 】Before the words were finished, Xu Shujin said: "I have been included by the prime minister, and I hate to repay for nothing."Three thousand men and horses are invited to go to Sanguan to guard the pass in the starry night; if there is an emergency, report again. [It's not about defending soldiers, but avoiding fire. 】 Caoxi said: "If I get Yuan and go straight, I will have no worries!"Above Sanguan, there are also soldiers, and the public commands them.At present, three thousand horse infantry are dispatched, and Zang Ba is appointed as the vanguard to go forward in the starry night without delay. [He led three thousand people, and another Zang Ba, thinking that Martian did not obey his orders. 】Xu Shu resigned from Cao Cao and went with Zang Ba.This is Pang Tong's plan to save Xu Shu. [Write a sentence here to conclude the above. ] There is a poem from later generations that says:

When Cao Cao conquered the south, he was worried every day, so Ma Teng and Han raised his spears.Feng Chu taught Xu Shu with a word, just like a fish swimming off the hook. After Cao Cao sent Xu Shu away, he felt a little more at ease, so he got on his horse and looked at the dry villages along the river first, and then the water villages.Take a big boat, build a flag with the character Shuai in the center, and there are water villages on both sides. There are thousands of bows and crossbows ambushed on the boat, and they live on top.At that time, on November 15th, the winter of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, the weather was clear and bright, with calm wind and calm waves. [Write a word of wind to reflect the wind for the following. 】Cao Ling: Put the wine on the big boat, and I want to meet the generals tonight.The sky is getting late, the moon is on Dongshan, and it is as bright as the day.The area around the Yangtze River is like Heng Su Lian. [Such as reading "Red Cliff Fu". 】Cao sits on the big boat, and there are hundreds of guards on the left and right, all of them are dressed in brocade clothes and embroidered jackets, and He Ge holds a halberd.Civil and military officials sit in turn.Seeing the picturesque scenery of Nanping Mountain, looking east at the Chaisang River, looking west at the Xiakou River, looking south at Mount Fan, looking north at Wulin, and looking around the sky. [Write that the river view is picturesque. 】Happy in my heart, I said to the officials: Since the uprising, I have eradicated evils and harms with the country, and vowed to sweep the world and flatten the world.Now I have a million soldiers, and I depend on the lives of the public, so why not succeed!After conquering the south of the Yangtze River, the world will be fine, sharing wealth and honor with all the public, and enjoying peace. [Write about Cao Cao's arrogance. 】 Both civil and military officials thanked each other and said: I hope to play the song of victory early!We all depend on the blessing of the Prime Minister for the rest of our lives.Cao was overjoyed and ordered to drink left and right.Drinking until midnight, drinking heavily, facing the south bank and saying: "Zhou Yu, Lu Su, don't know the time!"Fortunately, there are people who have surrendered today. For the troubles of their confidantes, God helps me. [Write about Cao Cao's arrogance. 】Xun You said: "Prime Minister, don't say anything. I'm afraid there will be leaks." [The writing of Xun You is fine, and the image of Cao Cao is arrogant. 】 Cao cao laughed and said, "all the gentlemen on the seat, as well as the attendants on the left and right, are all my confidantes. What's the problem?" [It's not about its frankness and ease, it's about its arrogance. 】He also pointed to Xiakou and said: Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, you didn't expect the power of ants to shake Mount Tai, how stupid you are! [Laughing at both Jiangdong and Xiakou, writing about Cao Cao's arrogance. 】 Gu said to the generals: "I am fifty-four years old this year. If I get Jiangnan, I will be happy."In the past, Mr. Qiao and I had a close relationship, and I knew that his two daughters were both beautiful.Unexpectedly, she was married by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.I newly built the Tongque Terrace on the Zhangshui River. If I have the south of the Yangtze River, I will marry Er Qiao and put it on the platform to entertain my old age. My wish is enough! [It should be noted that Kong Ming's words are not a lie, and Zhou Yu's anger is not a fault. ] After saying that, he laughed.There is a poem by Du Muzhi from the Tang Dynasty that says:

The broken halberd sinks into the sand and the iron has not disappeared, and I will recognize the previous dynasty after grinding and washing.Dongfeng does not make friends with Zhou Lang, and Tongquechun locks Er Qiao deeply. Cao Cao was laughing and chatting when he heard the crow's prestige screaming away from Nanfei. [I'm afraid it's Lao Crow Huo. 】Cao asked: "Why does this crow sing at night?"The left and right replied: "The crow sees the moon and suspects that it is the dawn of the sky, so it sings away from the tree." [The noise of magpies is not auspicious, but the crowing of crows is inauspicious. 】Fuck and laugh again.When Cao was already drunk, he took a lance and stood it on the bow of the boat, laid a drink in the middle of the river, and drank three wines to the brim. The lance said to the generals, "I will hold this lance, break the yellow turban, capture Lu Bu, destroy Yuan Shu, capture Yuan Shao, and go deep into the water." The north of the Sai, directly reaching Liaodong, crosses the world, quite living up to the ambition of a man. [Calculating the past events, briefly describing his life, arrogant, full of ambition, and writing about Cao Cao's arrogance. ] Today, I am very generous about this scene.I make it a song, and you and others will sing along with it.The song says:

Wine and song, life geometry? [When a song is a word, there are many people who are incomprehensible.If the cloud is suitable for wine to sing, it is not true.What should be done is not what should be done, but what should be done right now.Such as when the wind, when, on the spot and so on.How long does it take for life to sing to wine?That is to say, life is full of moonlight. 】For example, the dew in the morning, the past day is bitter.Generosity should be generous, and worries and thoughts are unforgettable. [Suddenly there is a word of worry. 】Why worry?Only Du Kang. [Another word of worry. 】Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin.But for the sake of the king, I have pondered so far.Yo Yo Luming, the Ping of the Wild Food; I have a guest, playing the lute and the sheng.It's as bright as the moon, when can I stop?Worry comes from it and cannot be cut off. [Another word of worry.There are countless words of worry in the article, and Gai Le is extremely sad, which is a harbinger of the following text. 】The more you pass through the fields, the more useless you will be.Qi Kuo talked about Yan, thinking of old kindness.The moon and stars are sparse, and the black magpie flies south, circling the tree three times, with no branches to cling to.Mountains never get too high, and waters never get too deep.The Duke of Zhou vomits and feeds, and the world returns to its heart. [Compared to Zhou Gong, he is extremely arrogant. 】 After singing, all the people will laugh with each other.Suddenly a person came in from the seat and said: "When the army is equal, when the soldiers are using their lives, why did the prime minister make such an ominous statement?"Cao Cao looked at it as the governor of Yangzhou, the prime minister of Peiguo, whose surname was Liu, first name Fu, and character Yuanying.Fu started from Hefei, founded the state government, gathered fleeing people, established schools, cultivated fields widely, promoted governance and education, served Cao Cao for a long time, and made many achievements. [A brief description of Liu Fu's life, it is better to write leisurely. 】Then Cao Hengqiang asked, "What's wrong with my words?"Fu said: "The moon and stars are thin, and the black magpie flies south. It circles the tree three times, and there are no branches to rely on."This is an ominous statement. [Su Zizhan's "Red Cliff Fu" also quoted these four sentences, thinking that Meng Dezhi was trapped by Zhou Lang, Gai Nanfei had nothing to rely on, and the Lord responded to his southern expedition but had nothing to gain. 】Cao said angrily: How dare Ru'an defeat Wu Xing!He raised a spear and stabbed Liu Fu to death. 【Arrogance gets worse when drunk. 】Everyone was horrified, so they stopped the banquet.The next day, he woke up from the wine and regretted it.Liu Xi, the son of Fu, asks for his father's corpse to be buried.Cao Cao wept and said, "I accidentally injured your father yesterday because I was drunk, and I regret it too much."It can be buried with a generous ceremony.The sergeant was also sent to escort the coffin, which will be buried on the same day. [Drinking wine near the river, writing poems horizontally, and suddenly assassinating a person, it's really killing the scenery.It is also a bad omen to sing overnight and cry tomorrow. 】 The next day, Mao Jie, the governor of the navy, asked under the forbidden tent, saying: "Boats, big and small, have all been matched and chained."All the banners and war equipment are ready.Ask the prime minister to dispatch and march into the army soon. [Extremely writes about the prosperity of the Northern Army. 】Cao went to the center of the water army and sat down on the battleship, and called the generals to listen to orders.The two armies of flood and drought are divided into five-color banners: [green, yellow, red, black, and white, according to water, fire, gold, wood, and soil, which are mapped to the countless fire characters in the following text. 】Mao Jie and Yu Jin with yellow flags in the center of the navy, Zhang He with red flags in the front, Lu Qian with Zao flag in the rear, Wenpin with green flags in the left army, and Lu Tong with white flag in the right army; 】Mabu's red flag Xu Huang in the front, Li Dian in the rear Zao flag, Lejin in the green flag in the left army, Xiahouyuan in the white flag in the right army. [Extremely writes that the dry army is strict. ○The navy is the main force, so there is a yellow flag in the center, but there is no dry road.The rest are divided into front, back, left, and right, according to east, west, north, south.But the former army all used red flags, reflecting the fire attack. 】The envoys for all water and land routes: Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong; the envoys for escorting and supervising battles: Xu Chu and Zhang Liao. [After the Nine Banners, there are two teams, which are extremely strict. 】The rest of the brave generals, each according to the team.At the end of the order, three links were fired in the water army stronghold, and the warships of each team came out separately.On that day, the northwest wind suddenly blew up, [Writing the northwest wind is reflecting the east wind in the following text. 】All the boats pulled up their sails and rushed through the waves, as stable as flat ground.The northern army was on board, eager to perform bravely, stabbing spears and using knives.Front, back, left, and right armies, the flags and banners are not mixed.There are more than 50 small boats, and the patrolling police urge them to and fro. [For the following, Cao Cao got off the boat and escaped Zhang Ben. 】Cao stood on the general platform, watching the training, he was overjoyed, thinking that the method of victory would be sure. [Extremely proud. 】Teach and close the sail, and return to the village in sequence.Cao Shengzhang said to all the counselors, "If it weren't for the destiny to help me, would there be a clever plan for the young phoenix?"Crossing the river with a boat connected by iron cables is like walking on flat ground.Cheng Yu said: "The boats are all chained, so they are stable; but if they attack with fire, it will be difficult to avoid them."It must be guarded against. [The Northern Army is not empty. 】 Cao laughed and said: "Although Cheng Zhongde has foresight, he still can't see anywhere."Xun You said: Zhong De's words are very true.Why did the prime minister laugh at it? [The Northern Army is not empty. 】Cao said: "Any attack with fire must rely on the power of wind."It is now the middle of winter, but there are west winds and north winds, and there are east winds and south winds?I live in the northwest, and the other soldiers are all on the south bank. If he uses fire, he will burn his own soldiers. Why should I be afraid? [Zhou Yu fell ill with the later article, and Kong Ming wrote Fang Zhangben. 】If it is the time of Xiaochun in October, I have already prepared it. [The old thief is not cunning. 】All the generals bowed down and said: "The prime minister has a high opinion, but everyone is inferior."Cao Cao said to the generals: "Qing, Xu, Yan and Dai are not used to riding a boat."This is not the plan now, An Neng is in danger of crossing the river! [Cao Cao gave away one person for composing songs and poems; now he gave away two more for bragging about his martial arts. ] I saw the second general in the squad came forward and said: "Although the young general is a quiet and Yan man, he can also take a boat."Today, I would like to use twenty patrol boats to go as far as Jiangkou, and return them with flags and drums, so as to show that the Northern Army can also take boats. [The two give up their strengths and compete for their weaknesses, it's not so sick! 】Cao saw that it was Yuan Shao's old generals Jiao Touch and Zhang Nanye.Cao said, "You all grew up in the north, and I'm afraid it's inconvenient to take a boat."The soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River travel to and from the water, they are well practiced, don't take your life as a trifling matter.Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan yelled, "If you are invincible, you are willing to accept the military law!"Cao said: "All the warships have been chained, only the small boats."Each boat can accommodate twenty people, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to fight.Touch said: "If you use a big boat, why is it surprising?"Begging for more than 20 small boats, one and Zhang Nan led half each, but today they went straight to the water village in the south of the Yangtze River, and they had to seize the flag and kill the general to return them. [Those who talk too much are less successful. 】Cao said: "You and I have twenty boats, and we have dispatched an elite army of five hundred men, all with long spears and hard crossbows."At dawn on the coming day, the Dazhai boat will be sent out on the river, which will be far away.What's more, Wenpin also led 30 patrol boats to pick you up. [The writing of Cao Cao is also very thorough. 】Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan leave happily.The next day, the meal was made at the fourth watch, and the end of the fifth watch was set, and the beating of drums and gold in the water village had already been heard.The boats are all out of the village, distributed on the water surface, along the Yangtze River, there are mixed green and red flags.Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan led 20 sentry boats, went out through the village, and looked south to the south. But it is said that the south bank heard the sound of drums overnight, watching Cao Cao mobilize and train the navy, and the scouts reported to Zhou Yu.Yu went to the top of the mountain to watch it, and Cao Jun had already withdrawn. [Additional narration the next day, without missing a single word. 】The next day, suddenly heard the sound of drums shaking the sky again, the sergeant hurriedly climbed up to wait and see, and saw a small boat rushing towards the waves, and flew to report to the Chinese army.Zhou Yu asked the accountant: Who dares to go out first?Han Dang and Zhou Tai came out together and said: "Someone in power is a vanguard to defeat the enemy." [Because of Huang Gai's disease, the two human rights are pioneers, corresponding to the context. 】Yuxi, ordered the villages to be strictly guarded and not to move lightly.Han Dang and Zhou Tai each led five sentinel boats, which came out on the left and right.But Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan came here by flying a small boat out of courage.Han Dang alone covered his heart and stood on the bow of the boat with a spear in his hand.Jiao Chu's boat arrived first, so he ordered the sergeant to shoot arrows at Han Dang's boat.When using cards to block.Jiao Chuan's long spear confronted Han Dang.When he raised a gun in his hand, he stabbed Jiao Chu to death.Zhang Nan then shouted to come over.Zhou Tai's boat leaves across the slant.Zhang Nan stood on the bow of the boat with his spear, shooting bows and arrows randomly from both sides.Zhou Tai held a card in one arm and a knife in the other. The two boats were seven or eight feet apart. Tai jumped straight over Zhang Nan's boat, raised the knife in his hand, and chopped Zhang Nan into the water. The more you believe in the magic of chain tricks, the more you don't doubt that chain tricks are unusable. 】 Randomly killing the sailors.All the boats flew back in a hurry.Han Dang and Zhou Tai urged the boats to catch up. When they arrived in the middle of the river, they met Wenpin boats, and the two sides set up boats to fight. But it is said that Zhou Yu led the generals to stand on the top of the mountain, looking at the water in the north of the river, and the warships lined up on the river, and the flags and numbers were all in order.Looking back at Wenpin's stalemate with Han Dang and Zhou Tai, Han Dang and Zhou Tai fought hard, but Wenpin couldn't resist the enemy, so he returned to the ship and left. [The defeat of Wenpin was seen again in Zhou Yu's eyes.Narrative change. 】Han and Tuesday people hurriedly urged the boat to catch up.Zhou Yu was afraid that the two of them would go deep into the important place, so he waved the white flag and ordered the crowd to shout gold, and the two returned with waving flags. [This writes about the second small victory of the Southern Army, which is also a foreshadowing. 】Zhou Yu watched the warships across the river from the top of the mountain, and entered the water village.Yu Gu said to the generals: "The warships in Jiangbei are as dense as reeds, and they are very resourceful. What plan should we use to break them?"Before the crowd could be right, they suddenly saw the yellow flag in the center of Cao Junzhai being blown off by the wind and floating into the river. [Cao Jun folded the flag, but Zhou Yu saw it in his eyes.Narrative change. ○The corner of Zhou Yu's flag will be brushed against the face, and the flag of Cao Cao's army will be folded first.Excellent dyeing. 】Yu laughed and said: This is an ominous sign! [Write that Zhou Yu laughed out loud, in contrast to the shouting below. 】While watching, suddenly there was a strong wind, and the waves in the river beat the shore.A gust of wind blew the corner of the flag across Zhou Yu's face.Yu suddenly remembered something on his mind, [Try to think about it, what do you think?What is the matter?Those who understand must have identified it. ] With a loud cry, he fell back and spit blood.When the generals came to the first aid, they were already unconscious. [The final chapter suddenly makes an astonishing pen, which makes people puzzled. ] exactly: Laughing and shouting for a while, it is difficult for the southern army to break the northern army. After all, what is Zhou Yu's life, let's see the breakdown below.
