Chapter 49 Forty-eighth Banquet on the Yangtze River Cao Cao Composed Poems to Lock Battleships and the Northern Army Used Arms

But Pang Tong was surprised when he heard the words; looking back at him anxiously, it turned out to be Xu Shu.Seeing that he is an old friend, he 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?"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 death. I have already said that I will never plan in my life. Now, is it a good plan to break my brother?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.Tong laughed and said, "Yuan Zhi is so far-sighted, forgive me what's so difficult!"The concubine said, "May the teacher give me some advice."Tong went to Xu Shu's ear and said a few words.Shu is very happy, thank you.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.The next day, in the village, three, three, five, five, whispered to each other.A scout had reported to Cao Cao long ago, saying: It is rumored in the army that Han Sui and Ma Teng in Xiliang Prefecture conspired against each other and rushed to kill Xu Dulai.Cao Cao was shocked, and hurriedly gathered all his counselors to discuss, saying: "I will lead my 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.Before he finished speaking, Xu Shujin said: "I have been collected by the prime minister, and I hate to repay for nothing."Three thousand men and horses were invited to go to Sanguan to guard the pass in the starry night.It's urgent, please report again.Cao Xi 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.Xu Shu resigned from Cao Cao and went with Zang Ba.This is Pang Tong's plan to save Xu Shu.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 on the center, and there are water villages on both sides, and thousands of bows and crossbows are ambushed on the boat.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.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.Along the Yangtze River, such as Hengsulian ①.Sitting on the big boat, there are hundreds of guards on the left and right, all 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, west looking at the Xiakou River, south looking at Fanshan, north looking at Wulin, looking around the sky, he was very happy. Eliminate evil and harm with the country, and vow to sweep the world and level the world; Jiangnan is also the one who has not won.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 the princes, and enjoying peace.Both civil and military people thanked each other and said, "I wish I could 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: I don't know the time."Fortunately, there are people who have surrendered today. For the troubles of their confidantes, God helps me.Xun You said: "Prime Minister, don't say anything, for fear of leaking."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?"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!Gu Wei said to the generals, "I am fifty-four years old this year."If you get Jiangnan, you 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.Now 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.After saying that, I 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.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."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 jubilees. Heng lance said to the generals, "I will hold this lance, break the yellow scarf, capture Lu Bu, destroy Yuan Shu, and take Yuan Shao; From the north of Saibei to Liaodong, across the world: quite worthy of the ambition of a man.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:

Singing to wine, how much life is like: like morning dew, the past days are full of bitterness.Generosity should be generous, and worries and thoughts are unforgettable.How to relieve worries: only Du Kang.靑靑子衿, leisurely my heart.But for the sake of the king, I have pondered so far.Yo Yo Lu Ming, the apple of the wild food.I have guests, harp blowing Sheng.It's as bright as the moon, when can I stop?Worry comes from it and cannot be cut off.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.

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 saw it as the governor of Yangzhou, the prime minister of Peiguo: surnamed Liu, first name Fu, and character Yuanying.Fu started from Hefei, founded the state government, gathered the fleeing people, established schools, opened up fields, promoted the governance of the school, served Cao Cao for a long time, and made many achievements.At that moment, 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.Cao said angrily, "How dare you beat me!"He raised a spear and stabbed Liu Fu to death.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 sent to escort the coffin back to burial on the next day.

The next day, Mao Jie, the governor of the navy, under the tent of Jin Yi, asked: "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.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: the yellow flag Maojie and Yujin in the center of the navy army, the red flag Zhang He in the front, the Zao flag Luqian in the rear, Wenpin in the Qi flag in the left army, and Lu Tong in the white flag in the right army.The red flag of the front army is Xu Huang, the army of the rear is the flag of Li Dian, the army of the left is the flag of Qi, and the army of the right is Xiahouyuan.Both land and water support envoys: Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong; envoys who escorted and supervised the battle: Xu Chu and Zhang Liao.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, and the boats pulled up their sails, surfing 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.Standing on the general's platform, watching the training, he was overjoyed, thinking that the method of victory must be won; he taught and put in the sails slowly, and returned to the village in order.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.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?Cao said, "Anyone who uses fire to attack must rely on wind power."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?If it were the time of the small spring in October, I would have already prepared it.All the generals bowed down and said: "The prime minister has a high opinion, but everyone is inferior."Cao Cao said to the generals: "Qi, 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!I saw the second general in the squad came forward and said: "Although the young general is a secluded and Yan man, he can also take a boat."Today, I would like to use twenty patrol boats to go as far as Beijiangkou, and return them with flags and drums, so as to show that the Northern Army can also take boats.

Cao 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 shouted, "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.A certain 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.Cao said, "You and I have twenty boats, and sent 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.Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan retired 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 all leave the village and distribute on the water.Along the Yangtze River, there are many 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.The next day, the sound of drums was suddenly heard again, and the sergeant hurriedly climbed up to wait and see. When he saw a small boat rushing towards the waves, he flew to report to the Chinese army.Zhou Yu asked who would dare to come out first.Han Dang and Zhou Tai came out together and said: "Someone in power is a vanguard to defeat the enemy."Yuxi, ordered all 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 the card with one arm and the knife in the other.The distance between the two boats was seven or eight feet, and Tai Chi jumped straight over Zhang Nan's boat. He raised his knife and fell, chopping Zhang Nan in the water, killing the sailors indiscriminately.All the boats flew back in a hurry.Han Dang and Zhou Tai urged the boat to catch up, and when they arrived in the middle of the river, they met Wenpin's boat.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, watching the warships on the water in the north of the river, lined up on the river, and the flags and numbers were all in order; look back at Wenpin, Han Dang and Zhou Tai.Han Dang and Zhou Tai attacked with all their strength, but Wenpin couldn't resist the enemy, so he returned to the boat and left.Han and Tuesday rushed to catch up with the boat.Zhou Yu was afraid that the two of them would go deep into the important place, so he raised the white flag to make everyone cry for gold.The two returned with a wave of their arms.Zhou Yu watched the warships across the river from the top of the mountain and entered the water village.Yu Gu said to all the generals: "The warships in the north of the river are as dense as reeds; they are very cunning; 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.Yu laughed and said: This is an ominous sign!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, yelled, and fell back, spitting blood.When the generals came to the first aid, they were already unconscious.It is exactly: laughing and shouting suddenly, it is difficult for the southern army to defeat the northern army.After all, what is Zhou Yu's life, let's see the breakdown below. ① Sulian white silk.
