"In the next few days, there will definitely be warships from the northern army coming along the river.”
Zhou Yu said.
"Order all the troops to be on standby.”
An order came from the main camp.
The messengers rushed to the four corners to convey the order.
Zhou Yu secretly called Huang Gai over.
"Prepare yourself these few days. When the time is right, lead the team to feign surrender to Cao Cao.”
he instructed.
"Have you prepared kerosene, saltpeter, sulfur, hay, and other materials to start the fire?”
Zhou Yu asked Huang Gai.
"Don't worry, Viceroy," Huang Gai said generously."Once the order comes, Gai will set off at any time.”
"If there's any delay, Getty-head will see you!”
Hearing Huang Gai's assurance, Zhou Yu was relieved.
On the other side.
Gan Ning reported to Cao Cao that the ships had been equipped with chains, banners, and weapons.
"I hope that the Prime Minister will dispatch the troops.”
Gan Ning said respectfully.
Cao Cao laughed out loud," Good!"
He immediately got up and prepared to leave the city to inspect the big ship in the middle of the water stronghold.
Seeing Gan Ning's hesitation, Cao Cao said,"If Xing Ba has something to say, just say it!"
Gan Ning said.
"Prime minister, the ships are all linked together and are stable.”
"If the enemy uses fire attacks, it will be difficult to dodge. We must guard against it!”
When Gan Ning had been supervising the navy training, he had been shocked to learn that Cao Cao was going to use iron chains to connect the ships.
The iron chain connecting the ship could solve the problem of the warship swaying.
However, if all the ships were locked together, it would be too late to save them if they caught fire.
"Although Xing Ba has foresight, he still lacks consideration."”
"Please enlighten me, Prime Minister," Gan Ning said, clasping his hands.”
Cao Cao nodded.
"Xing Ba, whenever you use fire to attack, you must borrow the wind.”
"What season is it now?"
he asked Gan Ning.
"It's the middle of winter," Gan Ning replied.”
Gan Ning reacted immediately.
Cao Cao's next words confirmed Gan Ning's suspicions.
"In the middle of winter, there is only the west wind and the north wind.”
"Our army is in the northwest direction while the Jiangdong Army is in the southeast direction.”
"If I use fire, it will only reach the south bank. What do I have to fear?”
If it was October or early spring, Cao Cao would definitely be on guard.
When Pang Tong had just offered up the Iron Chain Chain Stratagem, Cao Cao had already considered using fire to attack.
Otherwise, why would Cao Cao agree to nail the warships together?
"Prime Minister, you have great foresight, Ning is far inferior.”
Gan Ning bowed to him.
Cao Cao continued,"The soldiers of Qing, Xu, Yan and Bing are not used to riding boats.”
"If it weren't for the iron chain connecting the boat, how could it cross the river and lake?”
With that, Cao Cao had Gan Ning take him around the village.
At this time, the North army water stockade, drought stockade, are divided into five-color flag number.
The middle of the navy was a yellow flag, led by Gan Ning.
Zhang He, the red flag of the front army, and Lu Qian, the black flag of the rear army.
The left army is blue flag Wen Pin, the right army is blue flag Lu Tong.
The ground army was divided into the front army, Red Flag Xu Huang, and the rear army, Black Flag Li Dian.
On the left was the blue flag of Yue Jin, and on the right was the blue flag of Xiahou Yuan.
Amongst them, the navy and army's reinforcements were Xiahou Dun.
As for Cao Yu, Cao Cao temporarily placed him under Xiahou Dun's tent and continued to listen to orders.
Zhang Liao served as a guard to supervise the war.
The rest of the generals and schools, big and small, all followed their own teams.
Not long after.
"Prime Minister, please give the order to beat the drum!" Gan Ning said.”
Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.”
So the drum beat loudly, and after three passes.
The battleships of the various teams all went out.
The northwest wind suddenly blew, and the warships pulled up their sails to meet the waves.
When he moved forward, he was as steady as flat ground.
The soldiers of the north were on the deck of the warship, fighting with their weapons.
The front, rear, left and right armies had clear flags.
There were also countless small boats below, patrolling back and forth.
On the stage, Cao Cao stood against the wind and watched the training.
"This is truly a sure-win method!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed and ordered his generals to withdraw their ships and return to camp.
Everyone, get ready to be called up at any time.
An hour later.
Cao Cao left the water stronghold and returned to Jiangling City.
Meanwhile, in the navy's main tent.
Gan Ning returned to his tent to find a soldier waiting for him.
Black armored cavalry!
Those were Zi Xiu's troops!
"What is it?"
Gan Ning asked.
The soldier replied,"Zhonglang will let me deliver a letter here!"”
The soldier handed a letter to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning opened it and read it.
"Go back and report to Zixiu that I understand!”
He instructed the soldiers.
The soldier obeyed the order and left.
Inside the tent.
Gan Ning paced back and forth.
Cao Yu's letter stated that the Jiangdong Army might test the strength of the Jing State navy stockade and warned him to be on guard.
Gan Ning thought for a moment before sending someone to inform Wenpin.
After working together for a while, Gan Ning discovered that Wen Pin had been living in Jingzhou for a long time and was well-versed in water and land.
Therefore, he planned to discuss it with Wenpin.
After a while.
Wen Pin entered the tent.
Gan Ning told the man about the navy.
"With the governor's dispatch, we must first hire him in every battle!”
Wen Pin cupped his hands and said.
"It's good that Zhongye's helping us," Gan Ning said happily.”
……
Jiangdong Army Water Stronghold.
Zhou Yu looked around at the generals.
"I want to investigate the north army's water stronghold. Who dares to go first?”
In the tent.
Han Dang stepped forward and cupped his hands, asking for orders."I am willing to be the vanguard."
Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.
After a while.
A fleet sailed out of the village and headed straight for Jiangbei…
