Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 386: Lin Mo VS Zhuge Liang

At this time, Fazheng, who was in the cabin, was looking uneasily through the boat window at the vast fog on the river. He changed his sitting position from time to time, and an uneasy look appeared on his face.

Even at this moment, Fazheng failed to see through Zhuge Liang's intentions. Of course, this cannot be said to mean that Fazheng is too far behind Zhuge Liang. In fact, in terms of pure strategy and military tactics, Fazheng and Zhuge Liang are definitely on the same level. Judging from his achievements in his short life, Zhuge Liang can still be beaten based on time alone.

It's just that Zhuge Liang, who had the secret to explore the world, brought Fa Zheng a dimensionality reduction blow in this action plan.

In Fazheng's understanding, the heavy fog came suddenly, and it would have been very dangerous for the ship to sail at this point. In addition, the heavy fog blocked the view, and it was possible that the ship ran into the arms of Lu Lin's army without being able to react. How could he have guessed that Zhuge Liang was waiting for this heavy fog.

"Xiao Nao, don't panic."

Fazheng turned to look at Zhuge Liang. He was really unfazed. There was actually a coffee table for making tea in the stern boat.

Fazheng frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Kong Ming, the river is filled with fog. If we encounter Lu Lin's fleet, we will have no time to escape. I think today is not the day to retrieve arrows. If it is hindered by the heavy fog, we can slow down a day or two." It’s okay to live in the sun, don’t show off.”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and poured the hot water into the teapot. He showed calmness in his movements and said leisurely: "Xiaozhi, the difficulty in making tea is to control the heat of the tea. If it is not cooked, the foam will float, and if it is overcooked, it will be foamy." The sinking of tea is the most disturbing thing."

What does this mean?

The more Fazheng listened, the more confused he became, but he still held back his temper and said solemnly: "Mr. Kong Ming is a man who understands tea."

Zhuge Liang smiled modestly and said: "I dare not claim to know tea, but everything in this world has its own rules, and the same is true for this battlefield."

Liu Bei was very satisfied. He showed off his appearance as a worldly expert. Liu Bei just couldn't guess Zhuge Liang's intentions, but he was actually very happy in his heart. With his confident look, there must be a good show today. .

Zhang He, who never liked to interrupt when others were discussing issues, could not stand his pretentious manner, and his eyes turned white.

Of course, there are also some old grudges involved here. During the battle at Fukong Mountain, Zhuge Liang burned many of his old troops. They were all brought by him from the North. There were not many left. How could he survive the fire? There are only a handful of people.

Now I saw him pretending to be cool when Fa Zheng was clearly asking for advice humbly. I couldn't bear the anger in my heart and said coldly: "My military advisor was asking you about the dangers of the foggy river, but I didn't ask you to make tea! "

Liu Bei's eyes were calm and motionless; Huo Jun glanced at Zhang He but said nothing.

On the contrary, Zhuge Liang smiled calmly and explained: "What Xiaozhi asked just now is that today is not the right time. I analyzed it with tea, just to tell Xiaozhi."

He pushed the brewed tea in front of Fazheng, and then gave a meaningful smile, "This time is just right."

Fazheng looked at the steaming tea, then at Zhuge Liang who was content with himself, and finally stopped talking and drank tea quietly.

Zhang He muttered without hesitation: "Bragging."

Tea was boiled one pot after another, and the steam not only filled the entire cabin, but also filled the hearts of everyone except Zhuge Liang, because they found that the ship was getting closer and closer to the ferry at Lulin in Xiakou. You are looking for death for such a small number of people.

Besides, what are you doing here if you're not just getting arrows?

Even Zhang He, a general who had narrowly escaped death on the battlefield, began to feel anxious, but seeing Zhuge Liang's steady appearance, he didn't bother to ask, so as not to damage his reputation as one of the four pillars of the Northern Kingdom.

"Commander, we are only a stone's throw away from Camp Lu!" The sergeant outside the cabin ran in and bowed his hands.

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, then put down the tea cup and said: "Okay, line up the boats, then beat the drum to challenge!"

Hearing this, Zhang He and Huo Jun both took a deep breath and stared at Zhuge Liang.

Even Liu Bei couldn't help but breathe quickly, Liang, what are you going to do?

"Do you want to die? If you want to die, just go and die yourself. Don't drag me with you, military advisor. The general will go out and order the navy to leave this place!"

After saying that, Zhang He walked out. Liu Bei and Huo Jun didn't say a word. This was playing with fire. No matter how much he trusted Zhuge Liang, there was no reason to stretch out his neck for Lu Lin to chop him.

"General Zhang, wait!"

On the contrary, Fazheng on the side raised his hand to stop Zhang He. He looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously. The words of the sergeant just now seemed to wake him up. Fazheng murmured: "Within a stone's throw, line up in a row, beat the drum." challenge."

Coupled with the heavy fog, Fazheng suddenly became enlightened after connecting all these things. His eyes suddenly gathered and he said in horror: "Kong Ming, do you want to borrow arrows from a straw boat?"

With the sound of war drums, although there was only a stone's throw away, due to the thick fog, the soldiers standing on the horse path of the water village could hardly even see the outline of the opponent's warship clearly.

But even so, the sergeants on the horse path did not panic. Instead, they all stood beside the throwers, carrying stones, but they did not launch them immediately. They seemed to be adjusting the accuracy of the throwers.

Zhang Liao on the side crossed his arms and frowned as he looked at Jiang Wu.

It’s really coming. This is so unreasonable. How did this kid do it? It’s said that there will be heavy fog today. This is of course very powerful, but it’s not something that Liao Shen can’t understand. After all, there are indeed people in this world who can do it. To predict the day.

But just relying on a heavy fog to guess that the warships of the Cao, Sun, and Liu coalition would come, and beat drums outside the stronghold to challenge, this was beyond the scope of understanding strategy and tactics, and directly made the Liao God doubt his life.

Let’s just say, no matter how false and true you are, you still don’t play like this. What clues did this guy base his reasoning on?

The more Liao Shen thought about it, the more bizarre he felt that this was happening. He couldn't help but turn his head and look behind him. That boy must have something he didn't teach me. He dared to hide it from his uncle. Look, I won't teach you a lesson later!

On the riverside behind the water village, the first reaction of the soldiers who heard the beating of drums was actually panic. However, the generals who had already received Lin Mo's military orders were stabilizing the situation. This matter still needs to be kept highly confidential, so there was no Pass it on to everyone.

Lu Bu, Lin Mo, Chen Gong, Jia Xu and others stood by the river, all with different expressions.

Chen Gong, Xu Shu, Jia Xu, Lu Su and others all looked shocked, and most of them had the same thoughts as Liao Shen.

Of course, I have seen Lin Mo's various magical methods in the past, but those things can actually be explained by military skills and mental skills, but this incident cannot be explained at all.

The one who was most shocked was probably Jia Xu. After all, he had calculated in advance that there would be heavy fog today. But if you think that he had calculated that the enemy would come to challenge, and there was only the sound of drums but no actual actions, it was amazing. .

"Yunwen, I really don't understand you this time. How did you know the opponent's actions in advance? Is it possible?"

Lu Su paused and asked tentatively: "Are there any of our people on the other side?"

This was the only answer Lu Su could think of. Even Chen Gong, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong felt that this was the most reasonable explanation, otherwise they would not be able to understand it at all.

Everyone looked at Lin Mo, hoping to clear up their doubts, but he didn't seem to intend to explain. There was no way to explain this. You can't say that I am a time traveler, and I didn't expect that the prophet skill could be used again. He patted Lu Su on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Zijing, you should thank me."

"Thank u?"

Lu Su blinked blankly, "This is where I started talking."

"I know you have an old relationship with Zhou Yu. If you hadn't followed us in Xuzhou, you would probably have gone to Jiangdong to follow Sun Ce. Then maybe you would be in the boat on the river at this moment." Lin Mo chuckled, remembering In the novel, Lu Su followed Liang Zi across the river on a straw boat to borrow arrows.

Of course, Lin Mo didn't know who was in the cabin on the river at this moment, but that's not important. Today's incident must severely suppress the morale of Cao, Sun, and Liu's coalition forces, even if they can't defeat it. On the opposite side, internal conflicts should be provoked.

Lu Su smiled and thought it made some sense.

Most of the people were suspicious and wanted to decipher the secret, but only the old father-in-law did not delve into the mystery. He put his arm around Lin Mo and laughed, "You guys, stop speculating, only Yunwen has always been there." Scheming against others, have you ever seen him being plotted against? Oh, now I really hope that Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are all on the boat outside, then this confrontation will be over before it even begins."

The son-in-law showed his magical skills. As a father-in-law, he should be honored and honored. He was very proud.

"Sikong, the soldiers are ready!" Lu Xun ran over from a distance to report.

Lin Mo nodded, "When the soldiers on the water village stop, you will immediately lead people to rush out and salvage along the river. Don't let the people on the boat escape!"

"Here!"

After Lu Xun bowed, he flicked his cloak and turned around to board the ship. He was probably more interested than Lu Bu in hoping that Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Ce would be in those warships, so that he could achieve unparalleled honors.

Lin Mo, who was holding the white rainbow sword at his waist, stared at the river and felt quite emotional. To be honest, he was only 80% sure whether this was Kong Ming's straw boat borrowing an arrow. History has changed and everything has changed. It may happen.

But, whether it was true or not, he was fully prepared.

The first is the thrower, and they did not choose to use rockets. This is because the humidity in the foggy day is too heavy, and rockets may not really work wonders. After all, several rounds of arrow rain give them too much reaction time, and they are likely to lift anchor immediately. Escape.

But using a thrower to throw stones is different. Those huge stones weighing 100 kilograms, with the force of the thrower, will be a hole when they hit the ship. With so many throwers used together, you can definitely react on the other side. It was sunk before.

This is different from the reason why Cao Cao did not use rockets in history, because the war drums sounded suddenly at that time, and rockets are not easy to use. They need to be prepared in advance. The arrows need to be soaked in grease. This takes time. The incident happened suddenly at that time. , there is nothing wrong with responding with thousands of arrows.

Lin Mo had enough time to prepare, but he needed to consider the opponent's reaction time. After comprehensive analysis, he finally chose to fight back with rocks.

Of course, I am not the Cao Cao in history after all. In order to prevent the real possibility of luring the enemy, Lin Mo has already asked Lu Xun, Zhu Huan, Wei Yan, and Gan Ning to take 30,000 naval troops in advance. , since they are prepared to fight, even if the opponent really has a backup plan, it will be an encounter for Zhang Potian, and they will definitely not be plotted by them.

At this time, on the walking path of the water village, Zhang Liao was listening to the sound of the war drums, still trying to decipher the mystery in his heart. The captain on the side had come over to report: "General, according to the position of the war drums, the thrower has been adjusted!"

"Do it." Zhang Liao, who had found nothing, sighed and waved his hand to give the order.

"Here!"

In the cabin of the stern boat, Zhuge Liang, who had guessed Fa Zheng's intentions, stopped pretending and revealed the entire plan.

The war drums were beating outside the cabin, but after listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, everyone was dumbfounded.

Especially Fazheng, who claims to have made great achievements in the art of war and strategy, is well aware of how difficult the entire plan is. Not only did he need to accurately calculate eight days ago that there would be heavy fog today, but it happened to be the time of this heavy fog. The fog made the whole plan happen.

Under such heavy fog, the view on the river is blocked. Under normal circumstances, no one would rush out of the stronghold. After all, if you can't judge the opponent's military strength, number of warships, and formations, then you may rush out of the stronghold, and it may be possible if you are not careful. completely annihilated.

What's more, the navy's orders relied entirely on the flags and semaphores. Even when fighting at night, the semaphore soldiers on the Chinese military buildings and ships were brightly lit. Under heavy fog, if the semaphores could not be conveyed, they would not dare to leave the stronghold.

All of this is in Zhuge Liang's calculation, how can people not be shocked?

"Kong Ming is a real crouching dragon, I admire you." Fazheng expressed his sincere admiration. If nothing else, he asked himself whether he could play with it.

Before Zhuge Liang could say any kind words, Zhang He, who was standing beside him, was still stiff-spoken and sneered: "It's just a fluke. What if there is no fog today? Then I would like to ask this Wolong whether he has to wait until the fog to bring the arrows to Emperor Liu's uncle. Come and fight."

Zhuge Liang was not a small man, but he also intended to defeat Cao Jun during this trip. He did not intend to brush it off. He glanced at Zhang He and said quietly: "A general who doesn't understand astronomy, geography, Yin and Yang, and Qimen." , does not observe the formation diagram, does not control the military situation, and is mediocre.

Eight days ago, I had already calculated that there would be heavy fog today. Otherwise, how could I dare to accept General Cao's words? "

Zhang He rolled his eyes at him and stopped arguing.

But these words made Liu Bei take a deep breath. After spending several years with Zhuge Liang day and night, he certainly knew that he was a genius. Especially in the battle at Fukong Mountain, Zhuge Liang had already demonstrated his ability to predict the fog. means.

It's just that Liu Bei never expected that he could combine the right time and place, military strategy, and human calculations to this extent. With him, Lu Lin could be defeated, great achievements could be accomplished, and the Han Dynasty could prosper!

Most of the people were surprised because they didn't guess that Zhuge Liang meant Lu Lin when he said someone was transporting arrows, and they didn't expect that he could control the battle situation so easily. Even Lin Yunwen, who had never been defeated, could only be reduced to him. The chess pieces on the chessboard are so surprising.

Of course, these two hundred thousand arrows can greatly relieve Liu Bei's pressure, but for him, these arrows are not that important now. The important thing is that once this is done, General Lu Lin will see the people in the big banner. Being fooled will definitely demoralize you.

The morale of the coalition forces will be infinitely improved, and at the same time, Cao Cao will be afraid of Zhuge Liang no matter what small calculations he wants to make.

The seven visits to the thatched cottage in Xinye were worth it after all.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei even felt that his nose was sore and his eyes were a little moist. God has been so kind to me. I lost Lin Mo and gained Wolong.

When everyone had different thoughts, Zhang He suddenly frowned and said, "The war drum has been beating for so long, why don't we see any arrows coming?"

On the one hand, Fazheng and Liu Bei were busy admiring Zhuge Liang, and on the other hand, Zhuge Liang was also playing the role of explanation. No one noticed this problem.

Just when everyone was a little confused, they heard a loud noise, boom!

The soldiers outside yelled: "Damn it, it's a stone, they're throwing stones at us!"
