Boundless Hanshui, pasts day and night, flows rapidly, just likes grand dragon, prostrate in south great land. The galloping rivers often in extreme turn place, splash a spray.
River bank both sides crisscrossing paths between fields, weeds withered and yellow, is difficult to see a farmer, appears dreary cannot withstand.
East Yunmeng Great Lake, the vast fertile area, water plant is lush, in this deep winter season, is a deathly stillness. In half person of high withered and yellow wild thick patch of grass, there is Evil Wolf to appear and disappear, has Goshawk to circle in the upper air.
Cold winter season, even if the most vigorous and healthiest wolf, there is having an empty stomach time.
The hunger is the Final Years of Eastern Han main key.
Tyranny fierce in Hu, person, in addition so, let alone is the wolf.
In the large cold wind, be continuous several hundred meters Distant Oceans Fleet taking advantage of wind the wind the line, the white sail makes noise by sà sà that the cold wind blows, is promoting Leviathan-like Battleship, cleaves the waves the vanguard.
In [The Dragon Head] deck, Ouyang Shuo brow tight wrinkle.
Four days!
The Distant Oceans Fleet day and night travels at double speed, walked continuously for four days four nights, is expected surface of the river on to the end, except for occasionally has fluttered a 1~2 fishing boat, a ghost shadow does not have.
Lu Su main forces, like baseless vanished.
„Does not have the reason!” Ouyang Shuo muttered.
At the Distant Oceans Fleet cruising speed, four days four nights walked over a thousand li (0.5km), quickly entered the Chang River entering Jiangkou to Hanshui. Then, still has not overtaken Lu Su main forces.
„Again patient wait / etc., they are impossible to be so quick.” Jia Xu spoke the comfort.
Several days are together, Jia Xu to the Ouyang Shuo's sense, changes actually. This youngster is not ordinary, the experience and heart, are the imperial under techniques, has its good point.
Every so often, Jia Xu cannot bear him with the Lordship Cao Cao contrast.
This idea Dangerous, Jia Xu fully realized very much.
„Right that mister said that now is a competion of will, we cannot give up.”
The Ouyang Shuo visual front, the look is firm.
......
military campaign fifth day, the front scouts spreads the news finally.
„beginning report Ruling Marquis, in front 100, discovers the enemy warship trail, is evacuating in the round trip.” Scouts the incoming telegram.
„In 100, in other words , did the enemy enter Chang River quickly?”
„Yes.”
Ouyang Shuo takes the bull by the horns, turns the head to tell Zheng He: „Transmitted orders Fleet, accelerates to go forward, do not let them run.” Once enters Chang River, might probably pursue thoroughly loses.
Who knows that Lu Su main forces will walk randomly toward Chang River on, downward walks randomly. If they fan out in two groups, therefore arranged a misleading formation, the situation is more awful.
Ouyang Shuo is thinking, must their catching everything with one net.
„!”
Zheng He also realized that the circumstance the urgency, starts to dispatch Fleet immediately.
Meanwhile, the War Operations order issues.
The officers understand the Rank 1 War Preparations condition, Artillery start to debug Cannon, prepares War. Marches fast, the entire Fleet lineup, quietly is also fluctuating.
So skillful, so the execution, only has Distant Oceans Fleet to be able for it. An oceangoing voyage, the biggest harvest, has trained a number of experience rich Sailor and Navy officers.
Distant Oceans Fleet, just likes the advantage arrow is ordinary, cleaves the waves the line.
About 3 : 00 pm, on the empty surface of the river, finally sees the enemy army Fleet shadow.
„Beats a drum!” Zheng He ordered.
„Bang! Bang! hōng hōng!”
The battle drum sound of rich rhythm, plays in the Hanshui surface of the river.
With the battle drum sound, morale of officers, saves little.
Present Distant Oceans Fleet, the lineup transformed.
What takes the lead is 20 Giant-scale Decked Ship, 22 the line, their Quest hit the corner/horn by the bow hard and sharp hugeness abreast in row, exceeds the enemy army lineup, rushes out a bloody road.
Then is three Windsail Battleship, becomes a character lines up in formation the line. But three battleships surface of the river killer, once firepower full, nobody can resist.
After the battleship, is 20 Giant-scale Decked Ship \; first, to shield battleship \; second, to provide firepower support. Finally, is innumerable Mengchong Combat Ship as well as Scarlet Horse Boat.
Their Quest, are the battlefield cleanups, exterminates the remnant forces.
The surface of the river is narrow, Zheng He has thought several days, find out such a practical lineup.
......
On not far away surface of the river, Lu Su stands in the deck, looks dignified.
As the Jiangdong main forces No. 2 character, historical real Lu Su is at a high game, far-sighted, the great wisdom courage, is not such that in Historic Romance described, was any dull straight honest and good-natured person.
In 200, Lu Su analyzed the world situation to Sun Quan, proposal that put forward, was honored as the Jiangdong version „Longzhong to”, was the Jiangdong political power has pointed out the strategic direction.
In Battle of Red Cliffs, Lu Su is key one person, the role that plays even is higher than Zhuge Liang.
Meantime, is Lu Su first stands, suggested that Sun Quan unites Liu Bei, together anti- Cao. Is Lu Su first stands, suggested that Sun Quan recalls Zhou Yu immediately, discussed together the important matter.
Then situation was, Jiangdong was formidable, but Liu Bei was small and weak. Jiangdong for the focus, Liu Bei is since. Say nothing, Zhuge Liang that just became an official is only youngster, wants the fame not to have the fame, wants the status not to have the status.
Therefore, leading role that in Battle of Red Cliffs Zhuge Liang plays, but at facilitating the Sun-Liu forming an alliance incident, mediates 1~2 on Diplomacy, this merit, is regarded as positive.
As for concrete War Operations, that is Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and the others the merit, has not related with Zhuge Liang anything basically.
In 210, before Zhou Yu dies, sends a letter to Sun Quan to recommend Lu Su: „Lu Su loyal and heroic, handles matters discretely, can generation of fine jade be utterly loyal, honest talk that if General can pick the letter feudal official, then dies also dies content.”
So, Sun Quan appoints Lu Su to replace Zhou Yu to command troops.
Thus it can be seen, Lu Su is really a great ability, is not being able to withstand that like that in Historic Romance described.
......
„Pursued!”
Is obtaining the earliest possible time of Zhou Yu urgent report, Lu Su orders Fleet to turn around, day and night travels at double speed, the hot sharp fire singes returns to Red Cliffs, prepares with being stationed in the Otherworlder Corps convergence of Red Cliffs, together imperial enemy.
Has not thought that catches up tightly catches up slowly, eventually slow one step.
„Should Admiral, now what to do?” Lu Meng asked.
Lu Meng of question, similarly is a key person in Jiangdong group. When Battle of Red Cliffs finished, Zhou Yu recommends to Sun Quan, Commander Navy from the waterway Chasing Strike Cao Army Commander candidate, is actually Lu Meng.
Lu Meng politely refused, said that does not dare to snatch the Lu Su merit.
So, has the situation that they lead together.
Speaking of Lu Meng, everybody was familiar, was „model of self-improvement by diligent study” story.
Gentlemen don't on the 3rd, when has increased respect for somebody.
This literary reference, should on Lu Meng. Passes on from Lu Meng, we can see his growth, sees a youngster court attendant of being illiterate, how to grow is Eastern Wu Famed General.
After Lu Su dies, Lu Meng has taken over his duty.
One of Lu Meng most classical successes, is White Clothes Cross The River, according to Jingzhou, indirectly has all killed Guan Yu.
In addition, Lu Meng also mental perception judge.
Gan Ning, Lu Xun and Zhu Ran and the others, are the Lu Meng recommendations.
Especially Lu Xun of Lu Meng recommendation, suddenly becomes the feudal official of Eastern Wu late humerus, position ratio Zhou Yu.
It can be said that Eastern Wu talented people pours forth.
The words that must contrast, in Three Kingdoms only have the Shu Han political power, is talented people is most depressed. And, has saying that has the Zhuge Liang factor in inside.
......
„What to do can also?” Lu Su knits the brows, „enemy is away from such can overtake us, wants to walk cannot get away. Moreover the surface of the river is narrow, we are may run away roadless. Because so, only then a war.”
„Yes!” Lu Meng solemn nods, the facial expression is firm.
Leans slightly, in Lu Su main forces, resounds the battle drum sound similarly.
What is awful, because of Lu Su main forces by a Chasing Strike side, waited, if left Distant Oceans Fleet the back. The surface of the river was narrow, wants to turn around is without enough time.
If turns around hurriedly, will only confuse own situations.
Therefore, main forces in Lu Meng, Ling Tong and other High-General under conductor, simply stops on the surface of the river, calmly waits for enemy army to attack, it may be said that waits at ease for an exhausted enemy.
In the Ling Tong, Gan Ning and other Great General eyes, Water Battle, is unable to be the mutual correlation. If shoots arrows unable to solve issue, that directly depends to come up, carries on the hand-to-hand fighting.
Therefore, which side the Battleship direction toward, the regulations is unimportant.
As Three Kingdoms strongest Navy, they have not feared anyone. And and is carrying the prestige of Red Cliffs War, even if Zhou Yu Admiral described how fiercely the enemy in the letter, they did not believe.
„Again fierce, but can also overturn the heavens inadequately?” Gan Ning words, representative everyone High-General aspiration.
Only can say that sits the well view day!
In the middle of various High-General, only has Lu Su and Lu Meng two people, looks dignified. They trust Admiral Zhou Yu, knows that Zhou Yu is always realistic, will not be aimless.
Zhou Yu said that that is surely strong.
The enemy to any degree, feared that is Zhou Yu, is unable unable to say a reason why.
Only has positive bumping into, can feel 1~2 intuitively.
Other did not say, most minimum enemy army Fleet speed, by far quickly in them, moreover is not the quick tiny bit, was quick one time.
Such ponders over, how Lu Su and Lu Meng they will be also relaxed.
Say nothing, they the military strength did not occupy superiorly, must hit , is really the odds of success is not big.
Was compelled so the region, they have had no alternative.
......
Approximately after 20 minute, Distant Oceans Fleet Vanguard Battleship formally enters the Lu Su main forces view.
Five building high Giant-scale Decked Ship, rows of exhibit in the surface of the river, takes to shock of Lu Su main forces officers, is not really small.
Has not approached, a formidable constriction, heads on.
„Day, in world has so huge Battleship unexpectedly!” The officers are dumbfounded.
morale, was affected inevitably.
„Puts the arrow!”
Gan Ning and other Fierce General, but did not fear that launches the attack.
Responded their, was bang the Artillery sound.
„Bang!”
Shells in the surface of the river crack, explode Lu Su main forces Battleship are split up.
„What situation?”
Gan Ning opened Eyes, what also has not made clear the enemy to use is any weapon. Responded his, was an intermittent even more rapid Artillery sound.
Was complying with Su Shi to describe Zhou Yu that word: „Chatted, mast scull scattered ashes and dispersed smoke.”
„Ended!”
Lu Su closes Eyes painfully, is not cruel enough to look at the present scene.
