Chapter 12 The Battle of Chibi

The author has something to say:

There is still no wind at night, and the temperature is much lower than during the day.I put on a fox fur and walked slowly along the bank of the river. The surroundings were extremely silent, only the river water was listening to the whistling of the waves.

I stood by the river for two full hours. I couldn't see anything on the ink-like water. I could only hear the faint noises coming from the other side of the river.I am so close to this story that has been passed down through the ages, but I can't even watch it, what a pity!

A few days later, just as Chao Dunfu was going up, the little boy in Chuyi whom I had seen during my first visit, Ren Yan, appeared in front of the door.He brought Pang Tong a piece of coordinating news: Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the cannon fodder in the Battle of Chibi, were gloriously sacrificed by Zhou Yu's clumsy divorce plan.

Pang Tong stroked his beard and smiled, and told me to prepare well to welcome the distinguished guests.I don't need to ask, I know that in two days, I am afraid that my uncle's old classmate will come to stay for a while.I really want to meet this classmate Jiang Gan who was kind to Zhou Yu and did bad things to Prime Minister Cao.Speaking of which, the names of him and his boss are a perfect couplet.

Before classmate Jiang Gan came to visit, a little accident happened, which forced the plan to be changed midway.

I woke up a little that day, got up early and climbed back to Xishan.According to Pang Tong's instructions, he didn't allow people to run out, and I couldn't bear it all the time, and I was annoyed, so I didn't call to follow.

In winter, the vegetation is withered, and there is no extra scenery in Xishan, but it is still very comfortable to climb up and look into the distance.Standing on the edge of the cliff near the river, I wondered whether I should recite two lines of poems to suit the scene, like "the boundless falling trees are rustling", or "the turbulent waves hit the table, and a thousand piles of snow were rolled up".

The sun has not yet fully risen, and there should be few people here, but there is one more person behind me.

Tall, thin, with blazing eyes, the most important thing is, in broad daylight, he still covers his face like in TV dramas.Conclusion: Not a good guy.

"Are you a robber or a passer-by?" I asked nervously, standing on the top of the mountain with no cover, my eyes drifted irrepressibly;

He took a step forward, seemingly casually, but actually blocked all possible ways for me to escape or attack.

I was sweating instantly: Regardless of whether he is a spy or a killer, it is true that this person is going to be against me at the moment.If I hadn't turned back just now, I'm afraid I would have been destroyed by him now.

I took a deep breath and looked at him very sincerely, hoping that he would suddenly realize with conscience: "Look, we can pretend to pass by people we don't know. There is a saying called 'Looking back at 500 years in the previous life, in exchange for one in this life. Pass by', we must cherish the marriage in the previous life..."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his sword and stabbed at me. When I stepped aside, I felt a gust of air passing over my left shoulder, and I felt a dull pain immediately.

Changing the standing posture and leaning forward, our positions have been reversed, and now he is on the edge of the cliff, with a sharp sword in his hand and a fierce look in his eyes.

I tried to move my shoulder, and it seemed that the pain was purely stimulated by the airflow, and it was not injured.

There was the sound of the sword trembling in his ears, and the man seemed taken aback, the hand holding the sword trembled, and then he fell down.There was still confusion in his eyes when he fell slowly, exactly like the scenes described in martial arts novels.

I thought that I didn't seem to have the ability to kill with my eyes, so I looked around and found Laiyan standing beside me.His sword was still dripping blood, and then he leaned on the sword and knelt down: "Damn the humble job, the young lady is frightened."

I snatched Yan's sword, stepped forward to give the villain a stroke without thinking, and ordered: "Throw the body into the river, no one is allowed to tell about this."

He was silent and made no promises.

For ordinary trivial matters, Laiyan obeys my orders, but it is probably impossible for him to hide the attack this time.He was very efficient, and informed Zhou Yu before noon, and then I had to follow Zhou Yu's handwriting to Pang Tong, leave Xishan, and listen to his arrangements.

I stomped my feet angrily, repeatedly reassuring that this kind of thing would never happen again.But Zhou Yu was not in front of him, no matter how much he begged, it was useless, and finally he had to say: "If the green mountains don't change, the green waters will flow forever. Let's meet later."

Pang Tong also sighed very much, and before leaving, he gave me the sand table under the corridor: "I still have a relationship with the little girl, let's play with this sand table."

I smiled and accepted with crooked eyebrows, and told the people accompanying me to carefully put it into the wooden box, so as to protect me as it was.Don't underestimate his sand table, some small divinations are very effective.

Inside the carriage was a set of men's coarse cloth Tsing Yi, and I changed into it after a little hesitation.

The broken carriage swayed and swayed for dozens of miles, and suddenly turned in a direction.I was taken aback, thinking that this group of people had tied up my ticket again, so I hurriedly lifted the curtains of the car and called Yan to come forward: "Where are you going?" Then a flash of inspiration: "Are you going to see your uncle?"

Lai Yan nodded: "The Patriarch has already ordered."

I was very happy, and said again: "Be careful, don't let people follow you."

The Jiangdong Pioneer Barracks was set up on a small flat land near Xiakou. The only commanding height in a radius of tens of miles was the hill to the south of the barracks. Heavy troops had already been stationed there, claiming to be able to attack and defend while advancing.The relationship between the defense line formed by this team and Jiangdong's rear is like Stalingrad and Moscow, with cold lips and teeth.

The temporary excavated docks and piers were dark and seeped in the night, and the firelight in the military tents faintly twisted like the Big Dipper in the darkness.I don't know if anyone will find out in the future how similar the military camp set up by the military division Zhuge in Jingzhou and my dear uncle...

I waited outside the camp for a long time, and I was able to see my uncle after the time passed.Entering the small compartment behind the tent of the Chinese army, he was still wearing a full set of armor, perhaps because the lights were dim, his face was pale, as white as a ghost.

I stood in the tent for quite a while, seeing that he didn't look up, I finally couldn't help asking: "Have you eaten yet?"

He raised his head, his tone was cold: "What do you want to say?"

I moved to sit next to him with a playful smile: "Uncle, why don't you grow a beard, it's ruining your image. You haven't eaten, I'll give you a supper."

He said: "You are messing around again, look at your face."

I hurriedly silenced, and subconsciously touched the left cheek, where there was a thin bloodstain, which was scratched in the grass during the day in a hurry.I lowered my head and tugged at my clothes, and said softly and slowly: "I will be more careful in the future, isn't this sword skill abandoned for a long time... Don't worry, I will practice more when I get back."

After all, he had no choice but to ask someone to bring in the food. After tasting a few mouthfuls of his portion, he put it aside, sat in front of the case, stared at the open battle report for a long time, and coughed softly once or twice from time to time.

Most of the supper went into my stomach.As soon as the bowl was put away, Zhou Yu handed me a wax-sealed silver tube: "Give it to him, he will handle it."

I felt sour in my heart: "Got it. Just take it easy, this time, you will win."

He bent the corner of his mouth symbolically: "Childish, that's what I said. Doesn't Guanglan understand the truth of predicting the ending but not the process?"

I was so sad that I bent down and gave him a quick hug.His armor was so cold that my hands hurt: "You have to take care of yourself."

"I know, and you too." His smile was so soft that it hurt my eyes.

That night was the saddest night I've ever been here.When I closed my eyes and thought of Zhou Yu's pale and thin face, I felt a lump in my throat, and finally shed tears without much hope.

When I got up the next day, it was still dark, and someone was already waiting outside the tent.With swollen eyes and a strong nasal voice, I followed behind the visitor with my head down.

When I was really standing in the barracks, I was at a loss. There was a feeling that my wish had come to an end, but the feeling of cheering and cheering for this wish to come true had long since disappeared.

My eyes are still stinging, and my head is like a swarm of bees, buzzing.As if I was sleepwalking, I tied the letter box to my body, and the sergeant who led me into the camp of the Chinese army yesterday sent me straight out of the barracks.

After leaving the barracks, it was less than three miles to walk to the ferry. This was the ferry used by the fishermen before the army was stationed. It was so small that it could only accommodate a small boat.

The accompanying people retreated far away. I was wearing a men's long robe, and now I lifted my robe and knelt on the pallet in front of the boat, and knelt on the ground with my forehead: "Guang Lan, come here, and apologize to the sir."

This time my husband was really rude to me, and I knelt down for a whole hour.I didn't sleep well the night before, and I had an empty stomach in the morning, so I was really dizzy and dizzy.

Halfway through the hour, Mr. stretched his waist and walked out of the cabin, smelling fishy all over his body: he must have lifted the inner deck of the boat to fish again, it's a bad idea.

"Hey, is this 'scratching a beauty's face'?" Seeing my face with injuries, Mr. walked up to me unhurriedly, amused.

"Sir——" I wailed and pulled at the hem of his clothes, "don't you stop being amused? I'm shivering when I hear your jokes."

"Get up."

He asked me vaguely, and I stood up, supported my knees and followed him into the cabin, while hurriedly saying: "He asked me to bring something here."

I handed him the mailbox, and he waved his hand, motioning for me to open it.

My legs were completely numb, I grinned and sat down on the floor, endured the thick smell of fish in the boat to open the letter box, and spread the brocade silk on the only small table in the boat.Inside was a blank official letter, with nothing written on it except Zhou Yu's seal of the governor of the capital.

With this thing, it is easy to forge the military documents of the Jiangdong army.

Maybe the wind has been blowing for too long and my mind is confused. I actually said: "Uncle, he is really careful. With this thing in hand, it will be much easier for you to do things later, even if you can say that Daonan County is already in your palm!"

The gentleman looked calm: "It sounds like you haven't knelt enough."

I shrank my head quickly: "No, no, sir, I know I was wrong..."

Then he got serious and admonished me: "What happened yesterday is extremely dangerous, understand? Like us, everything boils down to the word 'be careful'. You must be cautious in your words and deeds."

I nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Guanglan remember."

"There are many people I can choose, not limited to you." The husband's tone was very severe: "You have to promise that there will be no next time."

"Sir, don't worry, there will be no next time. I will definitely think twice and protect myself." I vowed.

The gentleman turned to smile: "So, how is your review of divination?"

I raised my head suspiciously, and was looking into Mr. Shang's eyes with a deep smile.Standing at the entrance of the cabin, he said calmly, "Didn't Shi Yuan discuss the latest wind direction with you in Xishan a few days ago?"

"Yes, Mr. Fengchu explained a lot to me."

"Speak."

I cleared my throat, and said in one breath: "Using the six-line method to predict the hexagrams according to time, it is probably the wife's fortune, the earth, and the world. It is the prosperous phase, and the main eye is the sky; the four-line descendant Wuhuo, although it breaks every moon, but it moves and transforms into the wife, wealth, ugly earth, and also the main eye of the sky; It is supported by the sun and the sun, but it is discouraged by the air, so there will be no thunder; the brother Yinmu of the first Yao is the master of the wind, it has the help of the moon and the son of the water, and it is the place of the crown when the sun is ugly, and the elder brother is the elder brother. , in the position of the Zhengong, it can be said that prosperity increases from prosperity to prosperity, so there must be a strong east wind; and as time goes by, when Yinshi is a temporary official and Maoshi is emperor, the wind will inevitably blow stronger; Suzaku holds the world, Qinglong is prosperous, In the southeast of Italy; in the northwest, Xu and Hai are in the sky, and the white tiger and Xuanwu are dead and powerless."

"Oh? How many of these six points did you come up with yourself?"

I frowned, and replied in confusion: "This is Mr. Pang's conclusion. I have a different opinion from him. But counting the days, his hexagrams are more correct."

"The future revealed by the hexagrams is inherently variable. Don't be fooled by the only information you have. If you stick to the time, I'm afraid you will lose everything."

"No." I replied sincerely, "I am always lacking in divination, and I hope to improve next time."

"Are you ready for anything else?"

"Sir?" I couldn't help kneeling up.

He lifted the curtain of the cabin door with his hands, and a gust of wind exuding a fishy smell rushed towards him.I heard my husband say, "Come with me to borrow the east wind."
