Chapter 337: Iron Chain Boats! Crossing the River as Easy as Walking on Flat Ground!
"Three visits to the thatched cottage?"
"Who can make Liu Bei so sincere?"
"Zhuge Kongming!"
"Mr. Wolong?!"
“I feel like a big shot!”
"After all this time laying the groundwork, who is this person? Is he so awesome?"
Those who are honored are content and at peace, while those who are humiliated are destined to be mediocre. There is a hermit in Nanyang, who cannot sleep soundly!
[Mr. Luzhong is a quiet and elegant man. In his spare time he works hard on the farm.]
Waiting for the spring thunder to awaken the dream, a long roar to bring peace to the world.
【If you can live a peaceful life by yourself, why bother with eternal fame? 】
I am happy to till the fields, and I love my home; I will take pride in my music and books, and wait for the right time.
I have visited him several times but never saw his true face or met him in person.
His friends and disciples all seemed to be extraordinary people, and the poems in his writings were full of gems.
Liu Bei even lowered himself for this and went to meet him at his thatched cottage many times, which shows that this person was extraordinary.
So everyone's appetite was whetted!
Fortunately, the production team did not make any changes at this critical juncture, otherwise they would be scolded to death.
After many twists and turns, this talented and true hermit finally revealed his true identity.
He was eight feet tall, with a face like a jade crown. He wore a silk scarf on his head and a crane cloak on his body. He looked like a fairy.
It can be said that he has a dignified appearance and an extraordinary temperament.
[The eyebrows gather the beauty of mountains and rivers, and the chest contains the wisdom of heaven and earth. ]
Zhuge Liang possessed extraordinary wisdom and profound insight.
This man often compares himself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi. In my opinion, Guan and Yue are hardly as good as him.
He directly praised his talent and believed that he surpassed the famous prime minister Guan Zhong and the famous general Yue Yi.
Liang's courtesy name is Kongming, and his Taoist name is Mr. Wolong. He possesses extraordinary talent and ingenious strategies, a true prodigy of his time, not to be underestimated.
"A genius of the time!"
"Using so many words to describe a person is unprecedented. It seems that Mr. Wolong is really not to be underestimated!"
[With just these few words, even before Kong Ming left his humble home, he already knew how to divide the world into three parts. Truly, no one in history could surpass him!]
In just a few sentences, the analysis of the world situation was thorough and sharp, proving that the rumors were true.
So, Zhuge Liang was appointed as military advisor by Liu Bei.
“Amazing!”
"Zhuge Kongming! Three visits to the thatched cottage!"
"I'm afraid this man is a very powerful strategist!"
"Like Mei Changsu?"
"I'm afraid it's even worse than that!"
"That's pure fiction. This Zhuge Liang looks just like a historical figure!"
"An outstanding politician, military strategist, and even a poet!"
"It looks like he's quite capable, but I don't know how he performs in actual combat!"
With the appearance of Zhuge Liang, the number of listeners of the radio program has exceeded 700,000, and the audience rating of the storytelling program has reached 4.67%.
Director Xu's heart was burning with anger.
When he first got the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he knew that this book was extraordinary.
It can be said that every word is worth a thousand gold, and he absolutely believes in the power of literature and works.
So we decided to listen to Lin Mo's advice, downplay marketing, and test the waters on a small scale first.
As expected, strength is better than skill, and a good book can stand up to scrutiny.
Even if you use a declining tool like radio, or storytelling that is rarely seen by the general public, you can still stand out without the aura of the Hulk.
Then add appropriate marketing to make it bigger and stronger.
A viewership rating of 4.67%, excluding a few specific programs, is already a figure that an opera channel could hardly dream of.
Moreover, there are already various circles, topics and fan groups about "Three Kingdoms" on the Internet.
Literary celebrities and Hulk fans rushed to comment and praised it highly.
But that’s not all.
Before everyone could speculate or discuss, Zhuge Liang soon began to show his extraordinary talent.
Zhuge Liang foresaw that Fancheng could not be defended, so he designed and implemented a fire attack tactic, taking advantage of Cao's army's underestimation of the enemy and successfully luring Cao's army into the preset ambush circle.
Burning Xinye, defeating a larger force with a smaller one, thwarted Cao's offensive momentum and also won Liu Bei valuable strategic time and space.
“!!!”
"Wow! My new idol has appeared!"
"As expected of someone who was invited after three visits to his thatched cottage, he's quite capable!"
"More than that! It's quite impressive!"
"Blood stains his battle robes through his armor, who dares to challenge me in Dangyang? Throughout history, the only one who has ever rushed into battle to aid his lord in need is Zhao Zilong of Changshan! Zilong is truly formidable!"
"I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan~~"
"Changbanpo has appeared!"
"Hahahahahaha, Cao Cao's Changbanpo!"
"Cao Cao doesn't talk too much, he's determined to take Jingzhou~~~"
“I sang it!!”
And then the Battle of Red Cliffs officially began!
From the perspectives of literature, military affairs and strategy, Daxia’s fans are amazed!
[Chapter 46: Kong Ming borrows arrows to offer a secret plan, leading to Huang Gai's torture]
[Chapter 48: Banquet on the Yangtze River, Cao Cao writes a poem, locks the warships, and the Northern Army uses force]
[Chapter 49: Zhuge Liang Offers Sacrifice at the Seven Star Altar, Zhou Yu Arrests at the Three Rivers Mouth]
In the 13th year of Jian'an, at the Battle of Chibi on the Yangtze River, after unifying the north, Cao Cao attempted to go south to unify the country, while Liu Bei and Sun Quan joined forces to resist.
Cao Cao led an army of 200,000 down the river, and Sun Quan appointed Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu as left and right commanders, and Lu Su as the assistant army captain, to join forces with Liu Bei's army to fight.
In the first battle, Cao's army was defeated and retreated, temporarily stationed in the Wulin area, confronting the allied forces of Sun and Liu across the river.
The broken halberd sank into the sand, but the iron remains. I will polish it and recognize the former dynasty. The east wind is not favorable to Zhou Lang, and the two Qiao sisters are locked up in Tongque Spring.
[To defeat Cao Gong, it is advisable to use fire attack; everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.]
[The Sleeping Dragon ascends the Seven Star Altar, and the river surges with the east wind overnight.]
Huang Gai led ten small warships, loaded them with firewood and filled them with oil, pretended to surrender, and when they approached Cao's camp, they set them on fire and rushed towards Cao's army.
Cao's army was defeated, its ships were burned, and it suffered heavy casualties.
Cao Cao ordered the remaining boats to be burned and then retreated, but most of the soldiers died of hunger and epidemics.
The allied forces of Sun and Liu defeated Cao Cao's large army with a smaller force, making it impossible for Cao Cao to unify the country in a short period of time.
Afterwards, both Sun and Liu took advantage of this victory to develop and expand their respective forces. After Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan, his strength grew rapidly, and he then sought to seize Yizhou.
This battle laid the foundation for the Three Kingdoms period.
“!!!”
"The Battle of Red Cliffs! Boats linked by iron chains! Crossing the river as if walking on flat ground!"
"Zhuge Liang borrows the east wind! Borrow arrows from a straw boat!"
"The Yangtze River is a natural barrier, and you're taking advantage of your navy, but you're using fire attacks? What kind of brain can you use to calculate the right time, place, and people?"
"Two hundred thousand versus eight hundred thousand!"
"The few defeat the many! The weak defeat the strong!"
"I don't even know who to look at! Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Zhao Zilong!"
"Zhou Yu is also very powerful, but it's a pity that if we have Yu, why do we have Liang?"
"Oh my god! What kind of novel is this? This is a living history!"
"And the art of war!"
"If this were true history, it could be called a classic battle in military history!"
"A novelist brought the thrill of ancient battlefields to my mind!"
"Deploy troops, maneuver strategically, and win big with small efforts!"
"I'm a military student, and the school keeps it confidential. I don't think this description of the war is made up. The overlap between the geography and Red Cliff on the Yangtze River is too high!"
"There are so many details that I suspect the author has traveled from a parallel universe to write history!"
"There are also poems. The poems in it make my scalp tingle!"
"Look at this paragraph,
Let’s drink and sing, what is life like?
Like the morning dew, the past days are filled with suffering.
...
The mountains never tire of being high, and the sea never tires of being deep.
Duke Zhou spit out food to welcome his guests, and the whole world was at peace.
It makes my scalp tingle when I read it!
