Chapter 46 The Forty-fifth Session of Sanjiangkou Cao Cao's Battle of Heroes Meeting Jiang Qian's Plan

But Zhou Yu heard Zhuge Jin's words, turned to hate Kong Ming, and wanted to murder him.The next day, Qi Junjun ordered to resign from Sun Quan.Quan said: "You go first, and I will follow up with troops."After Yu resigned, he set out with Cheng Pu and Lu Su to lead the army, and invited Kong Ming to go with him.Kong Ming readily followed suit.Board the boat together, set up the sail and mast, and look at Xiakou meanderingly.Fifty or sixty miles away from Sanjiangkou, the boats rested one by one.Zhou Yu built a stronghold in the center, set up camp on the shore by the Western Mountain, and lived in the surrounding areas.Kong Ming only settled down in a small boat.

Zhou Yu's allocation has been decided, so people invite Kong Ming to discuss the matter.Kong Ming arrived at the tent of the Chinese army, and the rites were completed.Yu said: In the past, Cao Cao had few troops and Yuan Shao had many troops, but Cao Cao defeated Shao because of Xu You's plan to cut off Wuchao's food first.Today there are 830,000 soldiers, and I have only 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers. Can you refuse?It is also necessary to cut off the food of exercise first, and then it can be broken.I have found out the food and grass for the army, and all of them are stationed in Jutieshan.Mr. has lived in Han Dynasty for a long time and is familiar with geography.Mr. Dagan, together with Guan, Zhang, and Zilong, I also helped thousands of soldiers to go to Jutieshan to cut off the grain road at night.Each other is the master's business, fortunately don't push the tune.Kong Ming thought to himself: This is because he said that I will not move, and designed to harm me.If I push the tune, I will be laughed at.It's better to respond, don't think about it.Nai gladly accepts the promise.Yu is overjoyed.Kong Ming resigned.Lu Sumi said to Yu, "What's your opinion on Minister Kong Ming's robbery of food?"Yu said: "I want to kill Kong Ming. I'm afraid it will make people laugh, so I use Cao Cao's hand to kill him, so as not to cause future troubles."Su heard the words, but went to see Kongming, and saw that he knew but didn't know.I saw that Kong Ming was not embarrassed, and the whole army and horses had to go.Su couldn't bear it, and challenged him with words: "Can you succeed in this trip, sir?"Kongming said with a smile: "I am fighting in water, on foot, on horseback, and on chariots. I have to do my best. Why not worry about my achievements? I'm not as good as Jiang Donggong and Zhou Lang."Su said: "What is one ability between me and Gongjin?"Kongming said: I heard rumors from children in the south of the Yangtze River: Rao Zijing, the gatekeeper of Fulu, and Zhou Lang in the water battle near the river.Gong is equal to land but can guard the road; Zhou Gongjin can only fight in water, but can't fight on land.

Su Nai told Zhou Yu this.Yu said angrily: "Why do you deceive me that I can't fight on land!"Don't use him!I led an army of 10,000 horses and went to Jutieshan to cut off the food road.Su told Kong Ming again.Kongming said with a smile: "Gongjin ordered me to cut off food, but he really wanted Cao Cao to kill my ear."Therefore, Gong Jin couldn't bear it when I played it with a few words.At present, when employing people, I only hope that Wu Hou and Liu Shijun are of the same mind, and then success can be achieved;The bandit is very scheming, he has always been used to judging people's food, how can he not prepare with heavy troops now?If Gongjin goes, he will be captured.Now it is only necessary to decide the water battle first, to frustrate the spirit of the northern army, and not to find a clever plan to defeat it.Wang Zijing kindly said that he was lucky to inform Gongjin.Lu Su then went back to see Zhou Yu overnight and prepared what Kong Ming said.Yu shook his head and said, "This man is ten times more knowledgeable than I am. If you don't get rid of him now, he will be a disaster for our country in the future!"Su said: When employing people today, we hope to put the country first.And after breaking Cao, it's not too late to figure it out.Yu Ranqi said.

But Xuande assigned Liu Qi to guard Jiangxia, and led the generals to lead the troops to Xiakou.Looking at the faint flags and flags on the south bank of the river, and heavy spears and halberds, it is expected that Soochow has already mobilized troops.It is to move all the soldiers of Jiangxia to Fankou Tunza.Xuande gathered the crowd and said: "As soon as Kong Ming went to Soochow, there was no news and he didn't know what was going on."Who can inquire about false and true returns?Mi Zhu said: Zhu is willing to go.Xuande prepared a gift of sheep wine and sent Mi Zhu to Soochow to inquire about the truth in the name of rewarding the army.Zhu took the order, and drove down the river in a small boat to the front of Zhou Yu's stronghold.The sergeant reported to Zhou Yu, and Yu was called in.Zhu paid homage to Xuande again and offered wine.After Yu received it, he hosted a banquet in honor of Mi Zhu.Zhu said: "Kong Ming has been here for a long time, and now I would like to return with you."Yu said: "Kong Mingfang and I conspired to destroy Cao. How can we just go?"I also want to see Liu Yuzhou and discuss good strategies together; Nai is in charge of the army and cannot leave temporarily.If Yuzhou is willing to come in vain, I am deeply relieved.Zhu Yingnuo paid his respects and returned.Su asked Yu, "what's your plan if you want to see Xuande?"Yu said: "The hero of the Xuande world must be eliminated."I am now taking the opportunity to lure him to kill him, which is actually to eliminate a future trouble for the country.Lu Su tried to persuade him again and again, but Yu didn't listen, so he sent a secret order: If Xuande arrives, first ambush fifty people with knives and axes in the wall coat, and watch me throw a cup as a sign, and then strike.

But when Mi Zhu came back to see Xuande, he said that Zhou Yu wanted to invite the lord to meet there, and he had no business protection.Xuande then taught to pack up a clipper boat, just today.Yun Chang remonstrated, saying: "Zhou Yu is a resourceful man, and he has no letters from Kong Ming. He is afraid that there may be fraud in them, so he should not be dismissed lightly."Xuande said: "I am joining forces with Eastern Wu to defeat Cao Cao. Zhou Lang wants to see me. If I don't go, it is not the intention of an alliance."The two sides are suspicious, and things are not in harmony.Yun Chang said: "If elder brother is determined to go, younger brother is willing to go together."Zhang Fei said, "I will go too."Xuande said: only Yunchang will follow me.Yide and Zilong guard the village.Jian Yong defended E County firmly.I will go back.After the payment was completed, Xie and Yun Chang took a small boat with more than 20 followers and flew to Jiangdong.Xuande was very happy to see the warships and banners and armored soldiers in Jiangdong, which were neatly distributed on the left and right.The sergeant flew to report to Zhou Yu: Liu Yuzhou is here.Yu asked: How many boats did you bring?The sergeant replied: "There is only one boat and more than twenty servants."Yu laughed and said, "This man's life is over!"Nai ordered the knife and ax hand to lie in ambush first, and then go out of the stronghold to meet him.Xuande led Yunchang to wait for more than 20 people until the tent of the Chinese army. After the ceremony, Yu asked Xuande to sit up.Xuande said: "The general's name is passed on to the world, but if you don't prepare for talent, why bother the general to pay attention to etiquette?"It is divided into guests and hosts.Zhou Yu hosted a banquet to treat each other.

Let's say that Kongming came to the riverside by accident. He was surprised when he heard that Xuande had come here to meet the governor.There was a murderous look on Zhou Yu's face, and swordsmen and axes were lined up in the wall clothes on both sides.Kongming was shocked and said: "It's like this! What's the matter?"Looking back at Xuande, talking and laughing freely; but he saw a person behind Xuande standing with his sword: Naiyun Changye.Kongming said happily, "my lord is in no danger."So he didn't enter again, but still turned around and waited by the river.

Zhou Yu had a banquet with Xuande, and went around the wine shop several times. Yu got up to hold the cup, and suddenly saw Yun Chang standing behind Xuande holding his sword, and asked who it was.Xuande said: "My brother Guan Yunchang also."Yu was startled and said, "Isn't it the one who beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou to the sun?"Xuande said: "Yes."Yu was shocked, sweating all over his back, and poured wine and Yun Chang's cup.After a while, Lu Su entered.Xuande said, "where is Kongming?"Trouble please come for a while.Yu said: "Let's wait until Cao Cao is defeated, and it's not too late to meet Kong Ming."Xuande dare not say any more.Yun Chang looked at Xuande with his eyes.Xuande understood, he got up and said goodbye to Yu, saying: "Let me say goodbye temporarily."After defeating the enemy in the next day, you should congratulate him.Yu didn't stay either, and sent out of the gate.Xuande said goodbye to Zhou Yu, and came to the riverside with Yun Chang, only to see Kong Ming in the boat.Xuande was overjoyed.Kongming said: "Do you know the danger today, my lord?"Xuande said in amazement: "I don't know."Kongming said: "If there is no cloud, the Lord will be killed by Zhou Lang."Xuande just came to his senses, so he invited Kongming back to Fankou together.Kong Ming said: Although Liang lives in Hukou, he is as safe as Mount Tai.Today, my lord, I have to pack up the boats and horses for use.For a period after the 20th Jiazi day in November, Zilong can be ordered to wait on the south bank in a small boat.Make no mistake.Xuande asked what he meant.Kong Ming said: But look at the southeast wind blowing, the light will return.When Xuande wanted to ask again, Kongming urged Xuande to sail the boat quickly.When it's done, it's back.Xuande and Yun Changji sailed the boat for several miles, when they suddenly saw fifty or sixty boats set down by Shangliutou.There is a general on the bow, standing with a horizontal spear, but Zhang Fei also came to meet him because he was afraid that Xuande would be lost, and Yun Chang could not support him alone.So the three of them went back to the village together, nothing to worry about.

But when Zhou Yu sent Xuande back to the stronghold, Lu Su asked, "Why didn't you do it when you lured Xuande here?"Yu said: Guan Yunchang, the tiger general of the world, sits and walks with Xuande, if I start, he will come to harm me.Su was stunned.Suddenly it was reported that Cao Cao sent an envoy to send the letter.Yu calls in.When the envoy submitted the book for reading, the verdict on the cover said: The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty paid Zhou Dudu to open it.Yu was furious, let alone read it, tore up the book, threw it on the ground, and beheaded it.Su said: "The two countries are fighting each other, and the envoys will not be beheaded."Yu said: "Behead the envoy to demonstrate."Then he beheaded the envoy and returned the head to his servant.Sui Ling Gan Ning was the vanguard, Han Dang was the left wing, and Jiang Qin was the right wing.Yu led the generals to meet him.In the coming day, meals will be made at four o'clock, and the boat will be sailed at five o'clock, marching forward with drums and shouts.

But Cao Cao was furious when he learned that Zhou Yu had destroyed the book and beheaded the envoy, so he called Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others from Jingzhou to surrender to the front.As the rear army, Cao urged and supervised the warships to Sanjiangkou.I saw the Soochow ship early, coming from the river.The leading general, sitting on the bow of the boat, shouted: I am Gan Ning!Who dares to come to a decisive battle with me?Cai Mao ordered his younger brother Cai (Wang Xun) to move forward.As the two boats were approaching, Gan Ning picked up his bow and set up an arrow, and Wang Cai (Wang Xun) shot it, and fell in response to the string.Ning Sui drove the boat forward, and all the crossbows were fired.Cao Jun could not resist.Jiang Qin on the right and Han Dang on the left rushed straight into Cao's army.Most of Cao's army were soldiers of Qi and Xu, who were not used to water warfare. Once the warships were set on the river, they could not stand for a long time.Gan Ning and other three-way warships crossed the water.Zhou Yu urged the boat to help the battle again.There are countless arrows in Cao's army.From Sishi to Weishi, although Zhou Yu was profitable, he was afraid that he would be outnumbered, so he ordered Mingjin to capture the ships.Cao Jun was defeated.Cao ascended the dry village, and then reorganized the soldiers, called Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and said: "There are few soldiers in the Eastern Wu, but they are defeated. You are not paying attention!"Cai Mao said: "Jingzhou's water army has not practiced for a long time; Qi and Xu's army have never practiced water warfare: so you will be defeated."Now let's set up a water village first, so that the troops of Qi and Xu are in the middle, and the Jingzhou army is outside, so that they can be used every day if they are proficient in learning.Cao said: "You are the commander of the navy, and you can do it cheaply. Why should you report it to me?"So Zhang and Cai went to train the navy by themselves.There are twenty-four water gates along the river, with big boats living outside as the city walls, and small boats living inside, which can be accessed.At night, when the lights are turned on, the water in Tianxin is bright red.The dry village is more than three hundred miles away, and there are endless fireworks.

But he said that Zhou Yu returned to the stronghold victoriously, rewarded the three armies, and at the same time sent people to Wu Hou to report the victory.That night, Ye Yu climbed up to wait and see, only to see the flames reaching the sky from the west.The left and right said: "This is the light of the Northern Army's lights."Yu was also shocked.The next day, Yu wanted to visit Cao Jun's water village in person, so he ordered to pack up a boat, with drums and music, accompanied by several generals, each with a strong bow and crossbow, and boarded the boat and meandered forward.At the edge of Caozhai, Yu ordered to get down the stone, and the drums and music on the building and boats played together.Yu peeped at his water village secretly, and was shocked and said: "This is the magic of the navy!"Question: Who is the captain of the navy?The left and right said: Cai Mao, Zhang Yun.Yusi said: "The two have lived in Jiangdong for a long time and are familiar with water warfare. I will plan to eliminate these two first, and then I can break Cao."While peeping, Cao Junfei reported to Cao Cao long ago, saying: Zhou Yu peeped at my village.Command the boat to capture.Seeing the flags and flags moving in the water village, Yu hurriedly put away the stones, turned the oars and oars on both sides, and looked at the river as if flying away.When the ship in Caozhai came out, Zhou Yu's building boat was already more than ten miles away, and it was too late to catch up and return to Cao Cao.

Cao asked all the generals, saying: "Yesterday, I lost for a while, and I lost my spirit; now he is peeping into our stronghold again."What should I do to break it?Before he finished speaking, a person from the tent suddenly came out and said: a certain person has made a contract with Zhou Lang's classmate since childhood, and is willing to tell Jiangdong that this person is coming to surrender with his three-inch tongue.Cao Cao was overjoyed, and regarded him as a native of Jiujiang: his surname was Jiang, his first name was Qian, and his style name was Ziyi. He was seen as a guest under the tent.Cao asked, "Is Ziyi and Zhou Gongjin close?"Gan said: "Prime Minister, don't worry."If you go to Jiangzuo, you must succeed.Cao asked, "What are you going to take away?"Gan said: "Just one boy will go with you, two servants will drive the boat, and the rest will not be used."Cao is very happy, buys wine and sees Jiang Gan off.Gan Gejin cloth robe, driving a small boat, went to Zhou Yu's village, and ordered to report: the old man Jiang Gan visited.Zhou Yu was discussing matters in the tent. When he heard that Qian was here, he laughed and said to the generals: "The lobbyist is here!"So he whispered to the generals, so and so.All go at their command. Yu dressed up, and hundreds of followers, all in brocade clothes and flower hats, came out in front and back.Jiang Gan led a boy in a cloak, and came forward proudly.Yu greets him.Gan said: "Gongjin, don't come here unharmed!"Yu said: "Zi Yi is good and bitter: you have traveled far in the rivers and lakes, and you are a lobbyist for the Cao family?"Gan was stunned and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm here to reminisce about the old days. Why do you doubt me as a lobbyist?"Yu laughed and said: "Although I am not as clever as my teacher Kuang, I can know the elegant meaning by hearing the string songs."Gan said: "If you treat the old man like this with one step, please leave."Yu smiled and stretched his arms and said, "I'm afraid that brother will be Cao's lobbyist."If you don't have this heart, how quickly can you go?Then they entered the account together.After the ceremony, sit down, and send an order to summon Jiangzuo Yingjie to meet Ziyi. After a while, civil servants and military generals all wore brocade clothes; some generals and schools under the tent all wore silver armor: they entered in two lines.After meeting each other, Yu Du taught and sat on both sides.There is a big banquet, the joy of victory in the army is played, and wine is served in rotation.Yu told the officials, "This is my classmate and friend."Although he came here from Jiangbei, he is not a lobbyist of Cao's family: don't doubt me.Then he untied his sword and gave Tai Shici, saying: "Your Majesty, you can wear my sword as a prison wine: today's banquet, but to show the friendship between friends; if anyone mentions Cao Cao and the Soochow Army, he will be beheaded!"Taishi Ci promised, and sat on the table with his sword.Jiang Gan was astonished and dared not say more.Zhou Yu said: "Since I led the army, I haven't drunk a drop of wine; when I see my old friend today, I have no doubts, so I should get drunk."After all, laugh and drink.There was a staggering of toasts on the seat.After drinking until half drunk, Yu joined hands and went out of the tent at the same time.The sergeants on the left and right are all fully equipped and used to belts, standing with spears and halberds.Yu said: "Is my sergeant quite majestic?"Gan said: "A man of real bears and tigers."Yu led Gan Gan to the back of the tent to look around, and there were piles of grain and grass piled up like mountains.Yu said: "Is there enough food and grass for me?"Gan said: "The soldiers are fine and the food is sufficient, and the reputation is well-deserved."Yu pretended to be drunk and laughed loudly, saying, "When Zhou Yu and Ziyi were studying in the same class, they never expected to be where they are today."Gan said: "It is not an exaggeration to say that my brother is highly talented."Yu held up his dry hands and said: When a man lives in the world, when he meets a confidant, he entrusts the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers outside, and binds the kindness of flesh and blood inside.If Su Zuo, Zhang Yi, Lu Jia, and Li Sheng⑤ come back, their mouths are like a river, and their tongues are like sharp knives, An Neng can move my heart!After saying that, I laughed.Jiang Gan's face was earthy.Yu returned to bring Gan into the account, and met the generals to drink again; because he pointed to the generals, he said: "These are all heroes from the east of the Yangtze River."Today's meeting can be called the Qunyinghui.After drinking until late at night, lighting candles, Yu danced his sword and sang songs.The song says: Husband makes meritorious service in the world; meritorious service and fame comforts his life.I will be drunk when I comfort my life; I will sing wildly when I am drunk! After the song, the audience laughed.Late at night, Qian Ci said: "I can't bear the strength of wine."Yu ordered to withdraw from the table, and all the generals resigned.Yu said, "I haven't shared the bed with Ziyi for a long time. I will go to sleep tonight."So he pretended to be drunk and went to bed with him.Yu lay down in his clothes, vomiting messy ⑥.How can Jiang Gan sleep?While leaning on the pillow to listen, the drums in the army beat the second watch, and the lamp was still bright.When looking at Zhou Yu, his breath was like thunder.When I saw a volume of documents piled up on the table in the tent, I got up and peeked at them, but they were all correspondence.There is a letter inside, which says that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are sincerely enclosing it.Do a big surprise and read it in secret.The book briefly says: A certain class surrendered to Cao, not for the purpose of being an official, but because of the power.Now that the northern army has been trapped in the stronghold, but it is convenient, the leader of the bandit will be dedicated to his subordinates.Sooner or later, when people arrive, they will report.Fortunately, no doubt.Reply first. Gan Si said: It turns out that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are connected with Soochow!So he hid the book in his clothes.When he wanted to check his books again, Zhou Yu turned over on the bed, hurriedly turned off the lights and went to bed.Yu said vaguely: Ziyi, within a few days, I will teach you to look at the leader of Cao's thief!Do it reluctantly.Yu said again: "Ziyi, stay here!"Teach you to look at the leader of Cao thief!When he asked about it, Yu fell asleep again.Lying on the bed, it was almost four o'clock, only to hear someone call into the account and say: "Do you wake up, the governor?"Zhou Yu felt like he was suddenly awake in his dream, so he asked the man, "Who is sleeping on the bed?"The answer was: the governor asked Ziyi to sleep with him, why did he forget it?Yu regretted and said, "I've never been drunk on weekdays. Yesterday I was drunk and had an accident. I don't know if I said anything."The man said: "Someone from Jiangbei has come here."Yu Drink: Whisper!Then call: Ziyi.Jiang Gan fell asleep with only makeup on.Yu dived out of the account.When I was eavesdropping, I only heard someone outside saying: Zhang and Cai, the two governors, said: "It's urgent not to start."The words in the back are quite low and can't be heard.Shaoqing, Yu entered the account, and called: Ziyi.Jiang Gan just didn't answer, and pretended to sleep with his head covered.Yu also undressed and went to bed.Gan Xunsi: Zhou Yu is a delicate person, if he fails to find the book in the morning, it will definitely hurt me.After sleeping until five o'clock, he woke up and called Zhou Yu, but Yu fell asleep.Gan put on the scarf, sneaked out of the tent, called the little boy, and walked out of the gate.The sergeant asked: Where are you going, sir?Gan said: "I'm afraid that I may miss the governor's affairs here, so I have the right to say goodbye."The sergeant did not stop it either. Get off the boat and fly back to see Cao Cao.Cao asked, "How is Ziyi doing?"Gan said: "Zhou Yu's elegance is so high that it cannot be moved by words."Cao said angrily: "It's not good, but I laughed at it!"Gan said: "Although I can't talk about Zhou Yu, I have inquired about one thing with the prime minister."Begging back around.Gan took out the letter and told Cao Cao about the above things one by one.Cao said angrily: "The two thieves are so rude!"Then he called Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to the tent.Cao said, "I want to send you two into the army."Mao said: "The army has not been practiced yet, so you can't advance lightly."Cao said angrily: "If the army is well practiced, my head will be dedicated to Zhou Lang!"Cai and Zhang didn't know what it meant, they were too frightened to answer.Fuck the samurai and push out to cut it.After a while, under the tent of offering his head, the operator realized it and said, "I'm in the middle of a plan!"Later generations have poems sighing: Cao Cao can't be a traitor, and he tricked Zhou Lang for a while.Cai Zhang is a seller seeking to make a living, who would have thought that he would perish under the sword now! The generals saw that Zhang and Cai had been killed, and asked why.Although Cao knew that he was in the wrong, he refused to admit his mistake, so he said to the generals: "You two are negligent in military law, so I will kill them."Everyone sighed.Cao Yu selected Mao Jie and Yu Jin as the commanders of the navy to replace Cai and Zhang. Make detailed investigations and report to Jiangdong.Zhou Yu was overjoyed and said, "These two ears are my patients."I will be wiped out today, and I will have no worries.Su said: "The governor uses troops like this, why worry that Cao's bandits won't break through!"Yu said: "I guess the generals don't know this strategy. Only Zhuge Liang has the insight to win me, so I can't hide this strategy."Zijing tried to challenge him with words, and if he knew but didn't know, he would reward him.Exactly: I will also tell you what is successful, and try to be cold-eyed.Unknown Su went to ask Kong Ming how it was, and see the breakdown below. ① The mast on a mast. ② Louchuan is a tall warship with buildings. ③ The stone is used to anchor the boat by sinking the stone in the water, just like the current anchor. ④ Shi Kuang's Cong Shi Kuang, a musician in the state of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, was famous for his ability to distinguish sounds.Cong, is the ear is very good. ⑤ Lu Jia and Li Sheng Li Sheng refers to Li Shiqi. Both he and Lu Jia were debaters in the early Han Dynasty. ⑥ It is said that the wolf sleeps on the grass and picks up the grass when it leaves; therefore, the mess is called a mess.
