The Strongest Daoist in the Heavens

Chapter 23 Fighting Technique 1
At this time, the time has come to the seventh year of Jian'an, and it has been more than ten years since Li He tested Cao Cao's characters and the eighteen princes crusade against Dong Zhuo.Cao Cao, who once had no soldiers and generals and was wanted all over the world for assassinating Dong Zhuo, has become the biggest prince in the world today.

He even deposed the Han Emperor, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and changed his reign name to "Wei Wu".

And Lu Bu, who chased and killed Cao Cao and killed him so that he had nowhere to go and nowhere to go, has also become a subject under his command. rebellious strength.

Because Cao Cao's current power is too great!
Just the top military generals, there are a large group of Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, etc., as well as a group of top strategists who are superior in wisdom and can strategize, far more powerful than the generals.

Guo Jia, Chen Gong, Li Ru, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Lu Su...

There are too many capable ministers and generals, and Lu Bu is even a little inconspicuous among them, and he can't make waves at all.

As for the military strength, after digesting Yuan Shao's territory and accepting Hanzhong and Xiliang, it has reached 150 million. Even if the troops are divided into ten groups, the strength of each group is no less than that of one of the princes. Together, it is even enough to compare with the Han Dynasty at its peak. length!
After becoming emperor, Li He's cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and the "Tianshitang" headed by Zhang Lu was also established under his command.

A large number of celestial masters teamed up with first-class fierce generals and top strategists, and the overall strength of the Great Wei, can be said to be extremely rare throughout the history of China.

Under such circumstances, how could Cao Cao be afraid of the so-called "Chibi Alliance"?
"Don't be careless." Li He shook his head and said, "Meng De, you have always wanted to ask me, who will win the world in the future? In the future I saw, Meng De, you have an army of millions, and you will win three parts of the world. Second, there are only about a hundred thousand soldiers left in Jiangdong, so there will be no opponents."

"And then?" Cao Cao asked.

"You are defeated. Three parts of the world have been fighting for decades. Until your grandson became emperor, they were not unified." Li He said: "What we did before are just details. Can we change the future? Let's see if we can win the Chibi War!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao remained silent and didn't say much.

Suspicious by nature, he never trusts anyone 100%.

He believed in Li He, but he did not rule out that he was the one making alarmist remarks.

He even had some doubts, did Li He let Liu Bei go on purpose and Zhuge Liang out on purpose, in order to put himself under pressure so that he could rely more on him?
There is no answer to this question, and he will not explore it.

But occasionally, really think about it!

"This battle must be won!" Cao Cao said.

Next, as if history was repeating itself, Cao Jun met the allied forces of the princes, pushed all the way and quickly hit Chibi.And the allied forces of the princes who were at odds with each other for various reasons finally united and worked together in Chibi to block Cao Cao on the other side of the Yangtze River.

So far, the strength of both sides has increased a lot, and the battle of Chibi, which is even more massive than in the original book, has begun.

"National teacher, is Zhuge Liang really as you said, so pedantic about heaven and man?" Cao Cao said, looking at the other side of the Yangtze River from above the red cliff.

Hearing this, Li He smiled and said, "If your majesty doesn't believe it, just fight a few battles and you'll know."

Because the alliance of princes is far more complicated than the alliance between Sun and Liu in the original book, and there is no good old man like Lu Su to deal with it, the alliance at the beginning is not strong, and even fights for power and profit to avenge personal revenge, which is almost chaotic.

Zhuge Liang, who tried his best to promote the alliance, not only failed to get the coach, but even his power was taken away.

It's because Liu Bei's influence is too weak, the master can't do it, and the courtiers don't speak hard.

Therefore, in the first few battles, the coalition forces retreated steadily, and did not organize enough counterattack forces at all, so that they lost most of Jingzhou in a short period of time, and finally fought against Chibi just like in the original book.

Chibi is the last line of defense. Once it falls, the coalition forces of the princes will no longer be able to resist.

Feeling the crisis, they finally really united and handed over the power to Zhuge Liang who made the alliance, and he commanded the war.And Zhou Yu, who was originally the commander in chief, became his deputy, and the two fought against Cao Cao together.

This is a bit different from the Battle of Chibi in the original book, but Zhuge Liang who is in power is definitely much more terrifying than the Zhuge Liang who can only give advice in the original book!
"Water warfare is inseparable from bows and arrows, but we have bows but not enough arrows." Zhou Yu said.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, and then said: "Well, you go and arrange twenty large ships with straw men on them, and they will go around in front of Cao Ying in seven days. They are only called wars, not offensives, and borrow their arrows. use!"

"Okay!" Zhou Yu nodded.

Seven days later, [-] large boats carrying the straw men went to Cao Ying's formation.

At the same time, heavy fog rose on the river.

"It's foggy today, tell me, is it possible for the coalition forces to take advantage of the fog to attack?" Cao Cao asked the group of advisers.

Hearing this, Chen Gong immediately said, "I think it's unlikely. The thick fog will not only cover our sight, but also theirs. Although it's not good for defense, it's also not good for offense."

These words made everyone agree.

"But with Zhuge Liang's character, he won't do nothing." Li He said.

Immediately, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Does the national teacher dare to make a small bet with me?"

"What's the bet?" Li He asked.

"Bet on whether Zhuge Liang will come to cause trouble." Cao Cao said: "If he doesn't come to cause trouble, I will win. The national teacher will perform a technique of attracting thunder in front of you, and let me open my eyes, how about it?"

All along, Li He did not reveal his spells, even when he dealt with Zuo Ci back then, he could not see the momentum.

The only person who has seen Li He cast spells is Lu Bu.

For this reason, Cao Cao was quite sorry.

Regarding Cao Cao's proposal, Li He nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, but if Zhuge Liang comes to make trouble, what do you lose, Your Majesty?"

"What does the national teacher want?" Cao Cao asked.

"I heard that Cao Cao and Cao Mengde are not only good at governing the country, but also good at poetry and poetry. If you lose this bet, why don't you drink ten cups of wine and compose a poem for us on the spot?" Li He said.

Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately laughed and said happily, "Okay."

Li He could feel that another stroke of warm luck had arrived.

Then, as if to cooperate with him, the grass boat sent by Zhuge Liang drove to the gate of Cao Ying to call for formation and began to borrow arrows.As for Cao Cao, he said: "It's still the master's clever plan. At the dinner party today, I will drink ten cups of wine and compose a poem."

At this time, Lu Bu in the crowd asked, "Your Majesty, Lu Bu invites you to fight!"

Among the crowd, he is the most combative, because he always wants to win the coalition army, and then kill the big-eared thief Liu Bei.

"There is no need to go to war." Cao Cao laughed, "We have enough bows and arrows, and we can shoot them for a year. Why send people to fight desperately? Send an order to send 5 large ships and [-] archers to meet the enemy."

This is the same as in the original work, and Zhuge Liang's plan of "borrowing arrows from a straw boat" was adopted.

However, Li He did not stop him, but asked Zhang Ludao: "Is your 'Tianshitang' ready? The 'Scattering Beans into Soldiers' that we created from 'Scattering Beans into Soldiers' can send It came in handy!"
