Three visits to the thatched cottage

After the official battle, Cao Cao defeated Liu. Liu Bei has to rely on Liu Biao.

in order to get Xu Shu, Liu Bei's counselor, Cao Cao lied that Xu Shu's mother was ill and asked him to go to Xudu immediately. When Xu Shu was leaving, he told Liu Bei that there was a genius named Zhu Geliang in Longzhong. If he could get his help, he would get the world.

The next day, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took gifts and went to Longzhong to pay a visit to Ge Liang. Who knows that Zhu Geliang has just gone out for a swim, and extremely unpredictable when he will come back. Liu Bei can only go back.

a few days later, Liu Bei and Guan Yu. Zhang Fei braved the heavy snow and came to Zhuge Liang's home again. Seeing a young man reading a book, Liu Bei hurried over to pay his respects. But that youth was Zhu Geliang's younger brother. He told Liu Bei that elder brother had been invited away by friends. Liu Bei was not always disappointed, so he just left a letter saying that he was eager to get the help of Zhuge Liang and settle down.

After the New Year, Liu Bei chose a good day and once came to Longzhong. This time, ZhuGeLiang is sleeping. Liu Bei told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to wait outside the door, and stood quietly under the steps. It was a long time before Zhuge Liang woke up, and Liu Bei asked him to teach him how to do things in the world.

Zhu Geliang analyzed the situation in the world for Liu Bei, and said, "When Cao Cao occupied the sky in the north, Sun Quan occupied the land in the south, and the army could occupy the people and make peace, and Xichuan became a great business, and Cao Cao and Sun became a three-legged stand." Hearing this, Liu Bei is not very obedient. Please ask him for help. Zhu Geliang answered. Zhu Geliang was only 27 years old that year.

the grass boat borrows an arrow

Zhou Yu is not always jealous of Ge Liang, and always wants to find a reason to kill him.

One day, Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang to make 1, arrows, and said that he would need them in 1 days. Zhuge Liang answered quickly and painfully, saying, "I will send 1 thousand arrows in three days." Zhou Yu was surprised.

Zhu Geliang borrowed 2 fast boats and 6 soldiers from Lu Su, covered each boat with cloth, and piled bundles of hay on both sides. When Zhou Yu learned about this situation, he was very suspicious, and he didn't know what kind of flowers Zhuge Liang was playing.

On the third day, before dawn, Zhuge Liang sent for Lu Su and said, "Please go with me to get the arrow." However, after that, 2 fast boats were connected with long ropes and sailed straight to the north of the river. At that time, there were heavy fog clouds on the Changjiang River, and no one could be seen on the opposite side. Lu Su didn't understand clearly, and asked Zhuge Liang what happened. ZhuGeLiang just laughed and didn't answer.

not long after, the boat approached Cao Cao's water village. Zhuge Liang ordered the bow to face the east and the stern to face the west. Also told the soldiers to beat the drums and shout. When Cao Cao heard the report, he said, "If you fight in foggy weather, you are afraid of being buried. Let the archers of the navy and army shoot arrows at them first, and then enter the army after the fog clears. " Therefore, arrows rained down on the 2 ships.

the arrow head landed on the straw bundle accurately, and it was arranged in a dense hemp. After a while, Zhuge Liang ordered the bow of the boat to fall over, and then it was discharged from west to east, so the other side was shot with arrows. By the time the sun is about to rise, the fog will soon disperse. Ge Liang ordered the soldiers to sail and shouted, "Thanks for Cheng Xiang's arrow!"

When the ship arrived at the south bank, Zhou Yu had sent 5 soldiers to the riverside to move the arrows. After unloading, there were 1.23 million arrows. When Lu Su met Zhou Yu, he told the story of Zhuge Liang borrowing arrows. Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Zhu Geliang is really ingenious. I am not like him!"

Red Wall Battle

Zhou Yu and Ge Liang discussed the time to attack Cao Cao. After that, they divided the men and horses into six teams, and only started to move when the southeast wind blew.

After the southeast wind blew, Huang Gai took 2 fireboats full of reeds, sulfur and sulfur, and set off for the opposite shore. As soon as we arrived at Cao Cao's military camp, the boat caught fire, and with the wind, it only burned Cao Jun's boat. Because Cao Cao listened to Xin Pang Tong and locked all the ships together with iron rings, there was no way to escape.

At this time, Cao Jun's water village was all on fire. Many soldiers were burned to death. Knowing that Tao had been tricked, Cao Cao shouted abuse while looking for a boat. At this time, Zhang Liao came by in a small boat, and Cao Cao escaped from the sea of fire.

when Cao Cao was rescued ashore, the soldiers and horses of Dongwu had been killed. Under the protection of Zhang Liao and others, he finally dumped Dongwu's pursuers. They came to a land with dangerous mountains. At this time, Cao Cao ha ha burst out laughing, which startled all the scholars and asked him what he was laughing at. Cao Cao said, "I laugh at the ignorance of Ge Liang and Zhou Yu. If they bury a soldier and horse here, it will be a great harm!" Before I finished, I killed a human horse, which turned out to be Zhao Yun, who had already been buried here. Cao Cao even rushed around and killed many soldiers, and finally escaped.

by this time, it was already dawn and it was raining heavily. Cao Cao thought that there was no danger, so he ordered a rest for dinner. He sat in the forest, but he laughed again. The bystander asked, "Cheng Xiang, what are you laughing at for losing so many horses?" Cao Cao said, "I laugh that Ge Liang and Zhou Yu are still short of plans. If they bury a human horse here, can we escape?"

The words didn't fall, but suddenly there was a shout, and Zhang Fei rushed over with his troops. Cao Cao was so surprised that he got on the horse without wearing any clothes. His generals ran to meet the enemy, and many people were injured.

this time, Cao Cao started to take a small path. They came to Huarong Road. Cao Cao saw smoke and fog in the distance, like an ambush. Cao Cao said, "This is the smoke that Zhuge Liang told people to put out, so I dare not go this way." Therefore, Cao Cao and others took to Huarong Road, which was originally uneven, and it had just rained, so it was especially difficult to walk. Cao Cao gave orders to cut down trees and move grass to smooth the road. Many soldiers were so tired that they fainted on the ground.

Finally, when we reached a more level road, Cao Cao laughed again: "If I mean waging a war, I will bury an army horse here, and it will be impossible for Zhu Geliang and Zhou Yu to reach the bottom!" Before the words were finished, there was a gunshot, and Guan Yu and his men stopped the way.

Cao Cao was startled. When he calmed down and saw that it was Guan Yu, his face suddenly smiled: "The clouds are long. I was not wrong with you before. Please let me live for the sake of the past. " Guan Yu is a man of loyalty. He recalled Cao Cao's kindness to him and looked at the pitiable soldiers, so he let go.

When Zhuge Liang heard that Guan Yu had let Cao Cao go, he was very angry. He said, "Guan Yu was dragged out and killed because of his personal kindness!" Hearing this, Liu Bei rushed over to beg for love: "Guan Yu and I are like brothers and sisters. We were prepared to die together. If we killed him first, I wouldn't be able to live. Let's forgive him once." ZhuGeLiang this just don't say anything.

Fire burned the company's camp

Sun Quan killed Guan Yu and took Jingzhou back, which made Liu Bei angry. He ignored the persuasion of Wenwu ministers and led 75, men to Dongwu.

Zhang Fei ordered a white flag and white armor to be made within three days, and all the army officers and men took filial piety to go on a expedition, and told Fan Jiang and Zhang Da to go to the hospital quickly. If the deadline was missed, people would be killed. Fan Jiang and Zhang Da saw that they could not finish their duties, so they stabbed Zhang Fei to death and ran for Sun Quan.

when Liu Bei heard that Zhang Fei had been killed, he burst into tears and hated Sun Quan. Besides, when Sun Quan heard that Liu Bei had been killed by a large army, he was extremely afraid, so he wrote a letter asking Wei for help. By this time, Cao Cao had died of illness, and Cao Pi was hoping that the two families would compete and benefit from it, so he refused to send a rescuer.

Sun Quan only likes to pay Liu Bei for himself. He first sent Sun Huan, a young man, and then Gan Ning, an old man, to block Liu Bei, who was defeated. Sun Quan was so anxious that he couldn't do anything about it, so he sent Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, the killers of Zhang Fei, to Liu Bei, and he was willing to give up Jingzhou for peace. Liu Bei didn't answer, and he had to destroy Dongwu.

Sun Quan is too anxious to know what to do. Kan Ze, an old minister, recommended Lu Xun, a young general, saying, "If Lu Xun is not used, Dongwu will be destroyed!" Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as viceroy. Lu Xun said: "I am a civil servant, so young, I am afraid that some people will not obey my orders." Sun Quan gave Lu Xun his own sword, allowing him to act first.

sure enough, some people will be convinced by Lu Xun. At this time, the Shu army ran to the front of the camp the next day to pick a fight and cursed the Dongwu army team. Some generals insisted on leaving the camp to kill the Shu army, and Lu Xun strictly forbade them to leave the camp. He will wait until the Shu soldiers are exhausted and numb.

Liu Bei heard that Sun Quan made Lu Xun, a junior general, the prefect, and he was very indifferent to him. He said, "I mean, I've been waging wars for years, but I still can't beat a little boy?"

Liu Bei's troops marched from spring to summer, and without defeating the main force of Dongwu, they settled down in the forest. The camps are next to each other for hundreds of miles. horse
