Chapter 1166: Drinking and Having Fun
Sima Zhao heard the news of the arrival of Wu army reinforcements, his face couldn't help but turn a little pale, for him, this is not good news, originally expected that before the arrival of Wu army reinforcements, the Wei army could take the second city of Dongxing, but now not a single city has been taken, and the reinforcements of Wu State have arrived, so the plan to capture the second city of Dongxing will be ruined.
Sima Zhao said to Zhuge Dan: "General Zhuge , the reinforcements of the Wu army have arrived, how should we deal with it?" β
Zhuge Dan smiled and said: "Sima Jian Jun doesn't need to worry, the Wu army has only 40,000 reinforcements, and our army still has 70,000 people, and the strength is twice as large as the enemy army, so why bother the enemy army to attack?" Now it is snowing heavily, as long as our army holds the embankment steadily, we will not be afraid of the Wu army coming to attack, and when the snow is in the eyes, we will fight to the death with the Wu army. β
Zhuge is not worried about the reinforcements of the Wu army at all, the Wu army stationed in the second city of Dongxing has the protection of the city, the Wei army has no choice but they can't, but the Wu army reinforcements have no defensive fortifications, according to the previous combat experience, the Wu army must have the advantage in the water war, but they are not the opponent of the Wei army's infantry in the land war, especially in this kind of battle with a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the Wei army completely has the upper hand, Zhuge Dan believes that the two sides will fight, the Wei army will definitely achieve a crushing victory.
There is no certainty in attacking the fortress city of Zhuge Yi, but against the infantry of the Wu army on flat ground, the Wei army has a congenital advantage, and there is no suspense about victory.
The only trouble now is the heavy snowfall, this kind of wind and snow weather, it is really not suitable to fight, although the reinforcements of the Wu army are already ten miles away, but Zhuge Dan cannot take the initiative to attack, even if this battle is to be fought, it has to wait until the snow stops.
But fortunately, the opportunity is equal, this bad wind and snow weather is not conducive to the military operations of the Wei army, and it is also not conducive to the military operations of the Wu army, don't look at them have arrived in Xutang, and the Wei army on the embankment is close at hand, but such weather conditions, it is obviously impossible for the Wu army to attack, they can only be stationed in place, waiting for the weather to improve, and then attack.
Therefore, Zhuge Dan did not look worried at all, but was calm and relaxed, and ordered his soldiers to take a few pots of hot wine, put them in the tent of the Chinese army, and said to Sima Shi: "Sima Jianjun, the wind and snow outside, the cold is biting, a certain person specially prepared a few pots of hot wine, and drank it with Sima Jianjun, in order to get cold, pleaseββ"
Although Sima Zhao felt that drinking in the army at this time was a little out of place, but Zhuge Dan was sincerely invited, and it was difficult to be warm, not to mention that in this cold wind and cold snow, Sima Zhao also stood for a long time, shivering from the cold, at this time, seeing a pot of hot wine, it was like seeing his mother, so Sima Zhao didn't care about anything else, and Zhuge Dan entered the account together and drank hot wine together.
Although the curtains in the tent were rolled up, there were several pots of charcoal in the tent, which were burning red, so that the tent did not feel cold at all, but warm.
The curtain of the tent was rolled up by Zhuge Dan's orders, and this tent mouth is facing the direction of Xutang, which is where the garrison of the Wu army is located, even if Zhuge Dan is sitting in the tent, he can also see the situation on the opposite side clearly, as long as the Wu army has any abnormal movements, without Wei Jun to report, it can't escape Zhuge Dan's eyes.
Although Zhuge Dan drank alcohol in the tent, he was just to ward off the cold, and he would not get drunk himself, this was on the front line, this was on the battlefield, Zhuge Dan knew his current situation and status, it was impossible for him to let himself get drunk.
Moreover, Zhuge Dan was also sure that the Wu army would not attack, so he dared to be presumptuous, if the Wu army came to attack at this time, Zhuge Dan would definitely not be drunk.
Sima Zhao drank a glass of hot wine, and then he felt that there seemed to be a warm current infiltrating his internal organs, the warmth was melting, the chill on his body was swept away, and his limbs were unobstructed.
"Good wine, I didn't think that General Zhuge was in Huainan, and there was such a fine wine, if this wine was placed in Luoyang, it would be a superb wine!" After Sima Zhao drank it, he couldn't help but praise the wine.
Of course, there is no shortage of good wine in Luoyang, with Sima Zhao's status, in Luoyang, he has tasted any good wine and expensive wine, so he tasted wine very badly, I thought that on the Huainan front, Zhuge Dan could only take out the countryside village mash, I didn't expect this wine to be mellow, it can be called a good wine among the good wines, I really didn't expect that on the front line of the war, I can drink such authentic and beautiful, breathtaking.
"Good wine! Wine! Sima Zhao raised his glass and praised repeatedly, this is also a voice from the heart, compared with Luoyang's good wine, it is actually not too much.
Zhuge Dan smiled slightly, as a feudal official of one party, this wine is just a small meaning, Zhuge Dan is a person who attaches great importance to the taste of life, not only wine, but also many things in life He is particular about luxury, and there is no difference between him and those dignitaries in the capital.
In this era, the wind of extravagance is gradually rising, hedonism is prevalent, those dignitaries in the court are extravagant, extravagance has become the trend, such a weather vane not only affects Luoyang, but also the whole world, Zhuge can warm the tent in the army, drink and have fun, which in the past, I am afraid it is unthinkable, because drinking is a violation of military discipline, and those who violate the order will not be pardoned.
However, Zhuge Dan is the leading general here, and Sima Zhao is the supervising army, and the two are the supreme commanders of the front line, they drink here, who can control it?
"Sima Jianjun thinks the wine is good, you might as well drink a few more glasses, anyway, I have nothing to do today, so I should drink and enjoy the snow to relieve my worries." Zhuge persuaded the wine road.
Sima Zhao waved his hand and said: "There are regulations prohibiting alcohol in the army, you and I are drinking here, it is already a violation, if you get drunk, what kind of system will it become?" Drink a few cups, just talk about avoiding the wind and cold, don't be greedy! β
Of course, Zhuge Dan also knows where the military regulations are, but he feels that there is nothing to do today, and this military regulations have not become an ornament, anyway, he has already drunk it, this drink is also a ban, and drinking a jar is also a ban, so it is better to drink a good drink to relieve the depression and sorrow of these days.
Just as Zhuge was drinking happily, a sergeant suddenly ran over in a hurry, but he didn't dare to break into the big tent, but knelt in front of the tent and said: "General Zhuge Qi, Sima Jian Army, Wu people are attacking in the snow!" β
Zhuge Dan and Sima Zhao couldn't help but change their faces greatly, just now they were still talking about such a big snow, which is not conducive to military operations, if they want to attack, at least after the snow stops, how can in a blink of an eye, the Wu people will actually take advantage of the snow to attack?
