Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

"Fire...rocket?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned by Deng Mu's question. After thinking about it carefully, there really was such a big loophole in his strategy of borrowing arrows from a straw boat.

As the master said, if Sun Ce sets off rockets, the forty Wouldn't a fire ship be burned into a fire ship in the blink of an eye?

Originally, ordinary warships would not be too worried when encountering rockets.

But my grain ship was filled with straw men.

These straw men turned into flammable objects. The objects on the boat contributed to the spread of the fire. Wouldn't he and the soldiers on the boat be burned alive? If the straw boat borrowed arrows, wouldn't it be a straw boat that would die!

Zhuge Liang would be burned to death, but he would also become the laughing stock of future generations!

Zhuge Liang The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

So I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and raised my hand to Deng Mu:

"It was the students who were careless and ignored that there were such big loopholes in this plan."

"Fortunately, Master reminded me, otherwise, Liang would have died without a burial place!"

At this time, Liu Bei finally understood what was going on, and couldn't help but secretly sigh.

"Jiang is still old and hot, and Zhuge Liang, a student, is still far behind Ziyu, a teacher..."

After sighing, Liu Bei said with regret on his face:

"From this point of view, Kong Ming's plan is indeed too risky and not feasible."

The words just fell.

Deng Mu smiled:"That's not necessarily the case. This straw boat borrowing arrows strategy is not impossible, but you have to choose a suitable time."

Tianshi?

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at Deng Mu at the same time.

Their eyes were blank, and they could not understand what Deng Mu meant by Tianshi.

"All things are interdependent. This straw boat is afraid of fire, while fire is afraid of water."

"Water means rain"

"We only need to choose a rainy day to implement this straw boat borrowing arrows plan, and everything will be foolproof."

Deng Mu revealed the mystery.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and they suddenly became enlightened.

Rain can extinguish fire!

If he pretends to attack the enemy camp on a rainy day, Sun Ce will never ask the crossbowmen to use rockets unless his brain is crazy. Even if he forces the use of rockets, With the protection of this heavy rain, the straw boat will not be set on fire

"Wonderful, why didn't Liang think of this? He's not afraid of Sun Ce shooting rockets when it rains! Zhuge

Liang cheered up and bowed deeply to Deng Mu:

"The master's careful consideration and the student's cleverness are not as good as the master's in case of disaster!"

This Wolong, I don't know when he also learned to flatter.

Deng Mu smiled and waved his hand:

"Okay, Kong Ming, just save yourself the flattery. It won’t be too late to shoot Sun Ce’s arrow after you’ve deceived him."

"Go prepare yourself first and wait for it to rain."

Liu Bei laughed loudly.

So according to Zhuge Liang's request, he was given more than 40 grain ships and a hundred sailors.

Zhuge Liang took this team, prepared straw boats, and guarded the Yangtze River day and night. Waiting for God to reward the rain.

This wait lasted three days. It was evening.

Adhering to the principle of eating by the river and sleeping by the river, Zhuge Liang set up a bonfire by the river as usual and prepared to let the soldiers cook..

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up.

The originally gloomy sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

After a few muffled thunders, an autumn rain came unexpectedly.

Although the rain was not heavy, it was enough to restrain the fire attack.

"I finally waited. Zhuge

Liang was so happy that he threw away his rice bowl, jumped up and shouted:

"After passing the order, take the gongs and drums and board the ship, and immediately go to the enemy camp on the south bank."

More than a hundred soldiers did not even bother to eat the hot meals, so they hurriedly boarded the straw boats.

More than 40 straw boats quickly sailed out of the water camp and disappeared in the rain and fog in the blink of an eye.

…

On the south bank, Jiangdong Army camp.

In the Chinese military tent, a banquet is going on

"General Bo Fu threatened Lin Xiakou, causing the big-eared thief to cower on the north bank and not dare to fight."

"With the general's powerful strategy and the strength of Jiangdong's navy, Liu Bei will be defeated sooner or later!"

"As an ally, Cong naturally cannot sit back and enjoy the success, but also wants to do his part.."

"Therefore, Cong wants to ask General Bo Fu to allocate thousands of my elite troops so that Cong can attack Jingnan by land to contain the threatening Big Ear bandits."

Liu Cong held the wine glass high, and after flattering Sun Ce, he expressed his request.

This flattery made Sun Ce feel happy both physically and mentally.

Thinking about it, Liu Cong's request was right, after all, this boy is Liu Biao's son. , the nominal lord of Jingzhou.

If he can use his influence to summon Liu Biao's old troops and defeat Jingnan, he can force Liu Bei to divide his troops to suppress it.

This will also help him on the frontal battlefield.

Sun Ce thought on the spot Agree.

Zhou Yu coughed lightly and said first:

"Liu Bei has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and our Jiangdong army only has 40,000 troops. It is really not appropriate to divide the troops into Jingnan."

"Instead of dividing the troops, I can't help but ask Liu Shijun to send a message calling on your Liu family's old troops to come to Xiakou to help in the battle."

"In this way, our Jiangdong troops, combined with your old troops in Jingzhou, can overwhelm Liu Bei in terms of military strength and seize the military advantage."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu also secretly winked at Sun Ce. Sun Ce immediately understood.

Our Jiangdong Army was fighting with Liu Bei in Xiakou, but you, Liu Cong, borrowed our soldiers and horses to take advantage of the situation to regain the four counties in Jingnan and strengthen his own power.

Why should you let me take advantage of you?

After defeating Liu Bei, you will have to go back and deal with the rise of Liu Cong. Isn't this causing trouble for yourself?

Zhou Yu saw through Liu Cong's little idea, so he let Liu Cong Call the old troops to come to Xiakou and help them deal with Liu Bei together.

This way, they can not only contribute to this battle, but also put Liu Cong under surveillance and can take him down at any time.

"Well..."

Liu Cong had no idea and had to look back at Kuai Yue

"Okay, what Gong Jin said is absolutely true. The frontal battlefield in Xiakou is the most important. Let’s leave Jingnan alone."

"Liu Shijun, just do as Gong Jin said."

Sun Ce didn't give Kuai Yue a chance to speak and made a decision.

Kuai Yue had no choice but to nod his head slightly.

Liu Cong didn't dare to object and could only accept Sun Ce's arrangement.

Sun Ce was very satisfied, raised his glass and said with a smile:

"Come, come, let's drink this cup to the full. I wish our two families can join forces and work together to defeat Liu Bei!"

Liu Cong and the chief minister Kuai Yue could only hold their noses and drink the bitter wine with a smile on their faces.

As soon as the wine entered their throats, the curtain was raised and Pan Zhang hurried in

"Report to the lord!"

"The drums and killing sounds were loud outside the water camp, and the enemy seemed to be planning a night attack!"

A trace of surprise flashed across Sun Ce's face.

The two armies were facing each other across the river, and their strength was almost on their books.

Jiangdong's navy was strong, while Liu's navy was weak. This was an undisputed fact.

He hadn't gone yet. How dare Liu Bei take the initiative to cross the river to trouble Liu Bei?

"Well, Liu Bei, you are so courageous!"

"Go and have a look!"

Sun Ce jumped up and excitedly went straight to the shore.

Thinking that if Liu Bei invited him to die, he would be able to take the opportunity to annihilate his navy. How could he not be excited about this good opportunity that came to him?

Risking all the way. The rain came to the beach.

I could only hear the sound of drums shaking the sky, the sound of gongs like thunder, and the sound of killings one after another. Listening to this movement, it seemed as if Liu Bei had come out in full force to attack with all his naval forces.

But now it was night. , coupled with the rain and fog, the vision was darker than usual, and it was impossible to see the reality on the river.

Sun Ce shouted without thinking:

"All ministries listen to the order, board the ship immediately, and fight me out!"

"Bo Fu, wait!"

Zhou Yu interrupted Sun Ce's impulse and raised his hand to point to the river:

"It's dark now, the river is covered by rain and fog, and the line of sight is unclear. It's impossible to see the actual strength of the enemy's troops."

"Well, Liu Bei knew that the naval force was defeated by our army, but he took the initiative to attack and chose this time."

"Bo Fu, don't you think there is something fishy in this?"

Sun Ce's body trembled, and he was suddenly reminded by Zhou Yu.

Looking at Liu Bei's navy who could only hear his voice but not see his shadow, Sun Ce suddenly became alert.

"Gongjin, do you mean that the enemy is deceitful? Zhou

Yu nodded slightly and sneered:

"Although I can't guess what Liu Bei's plot is for now, I guess it must be Deng Mu's work."

"Bo Fu, we must not act impulsively and fall into his trap."

Sun Ce's impulsive fighting spirit was immediately suppressed by Zhou Yu's analysis.

"Well, what Gong Jin said makes sense."

"This lack of guarantee was another trick of Deng Mu. Fortunately, Gong Jin saw through it, otherwise he would have plotted against him again. Sun

Ce thought deeply and shouted:

"After the order was passed, all the ministries stayed still and strictly guarded the water camp. They were not allowed to go to war without permission."

"Quickly mobilize five thousand crossbowmen to launch rockets at the enemy to prevent the enemy from approaching our water camp!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Before he finished speaking,

Zhou Yu stopped him again, pointed at Heavy Rain and said with a smile:

"Bo Fu, the rain is getting heavier now. Using rockets isn't a waste of kerosene. Why bother?"

Sun Ce suddenly realized, and immediately ordered to use only normal arrows to attack the Liu army on the river.

The order was passed down.

More than 40,000 Jiangdong navy troops were on the ship and on the shore, and five thousand crossbowmen were stationed at Huang Gai. Under the command of the commander, they quickly moved to the trestle.

With an order, five thousand sharp arrows rose into the sky and shot toward the dark river.

Round after round of random arrows, and in a moment, there were countless Thousands of arrows were shot.

But at the other end of the night, the sound of drums and gongs became louder and louder.

Liu Jun did not seem to be suppressed at all, but became more and more aggressive, approaching Shuiying

"Liu Bei, why don't you retreat?

Sun Ce was completely angered and shouted:"Call another two thousand crossbowmen and shoot me to death.""

So.

Two thousand more crossbowmen joined the ranks of random shooting.

Densely packed sharp arrows rose into the sky from the south bank, like a dragnet, and kept pouring towards the river.

For nearly an hour, Jiangdong The army shot 150,000 to 60,000 arrows.

However, Liu Jun never showed any sign of retreating, nor did he emerge from the night to storm the Sheung Shui Camp.

"｀Liu Bei, what on earth are you playing?"[]

Zhou Yu frowned and murmured to himself, a bad premonition gradually enveloped his heart.

On the river.

Zhuge Liang was bold enough to stick his head out to check the arrows on the boat.

I saw that both sides of the straw boat were densely packed with arrows.

A rough estimate is that there are at least two to three thousand arrows on each ship. If there are forty ships, the total number should be one hundred thousand.

"Fortunately, Master’s guidance helped me to fix the loopholes in my plan of borrowing a straw boat."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid if I can't borrow these 100,000 arrows, I will be burned alive on the river and become the laughing stock of future generations..."

Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart and secretly rejoiced.

Then he withdrew his thoughts and shouted:

"After the order was passed, all the ships stopped beating drums and ringing gongs, turned around and retreated to the north shore."

"Everyone raised their voices and shouted in unison to thank Xiao Bawang for borrowing the arrow!"

The order was passed.

Every ship was trembling with fear. The soldiers who were afraid of being shot into hedgehogs were no better than Meng Dahe.

The soldiers hurriedly turned the rudder, rowed desperately, and retreated to the north bank.

"Thanks to Little Overlord for borrowing the arrow——"

"Thanks to Little Overlord for borrowing the arrow——"

The No. 100 soldiers raised their voices and shouted as hard as they could toward the south bank. south bank.

Sun Ce was still wondering why Liu Jun's navy had been missing for so long.

At this time, the deafening sound of drums and gongs suddenly fell silent.

Perhaps by coincidence, the original night rain also stopped.

The river bank finally became quiet.

"Strange, what is going on?"

"So Liu Bei, what on earth does he want to do?"

Sun Ce frowned deeply and turned to Zhou Yu with confused and suspicious eyes.

Zhou Yu had vaguely guessed something, but was not sure.

"Thanks to Little Overlord for borrowing the arrow——"

"Thanks to Little Overlord for borrowing the arrow——"

On the river shrouded in night, a loud taunting sound suddenly sounded.

The Jiangdong soldiers along the coast (Zhao De's) suddenly started talking, and they all looked confused, not knowing why.

"Thank me for borrowing the arrow?"

"What does it mean?"

Sun Ce's eyes were blank, and he hadn't turned around yet.

But Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat, his face instantly twisted, and his fists clenched suddenly.

In his eyes, complex fire from embarrassment to anger to shame suddenly filled his eyes.

"How dare you play with me like this!"

"Hateful, butah~~"

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and his face gradually turned red.

"Gongjin, what's the joke? What's going on?"

Sun Ce urged with a blank look on his face.

Zhou Yu hesitated to speak, ashamed.

He had suddenly realized that Liu Bei's fuss and troubles were just a pretense of a night attack to deceive them of arrows.

But just now , Sun Ce immediately wanted to send out warships to attack.

If he hadn't stopped him, Liu Jun, who was feinting to attack at this moment, would have been annihilated.

But he was self-righteous and persuaded Sun Ce to go to war.

His miscalculation caused Sun Ce not only to be He defrauded hundreds of thousands of arrows and was teased and humiliated by Liu Bei!

How could he have the nerve to tell Sun Ce about such facts?

"No, we fell into Liu Bei's plan."

"He must have used a straw boat disguised as a warship, using the cover of the night to pretend to attack our camp in the cold."

"We couldn't tell the enemy's strength clearly, and we didn't dare to act rashly, so we could only block it with random arrows."

"In this way, they used straw boats to receive arrows and defrauded us of hundreds of thousands of arrows in vain."

"Lord, we have been tricked!"

Lu Su suddenly realized it and revealed the mystery.

"Gong Jin!"

Sun Ce suddenly realized this, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around to glare at Zhou Yu.

"Bo Fu, this, this..."

Zhou Yu was sweating on his forehead, squeaking and falling into an embarrassing situation.
