The 18th day of the seventh month of the ninth year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty was the day when Cao Jun's army marched south and conquered Jingzhou, and it was also Cao Cao's fifty-third birthday!

"Boom! -Boom! -Boom! ”

"Kill! -Kill! -Kill! ”

……………………

At dawn - the sun rose in the east, the camp of the Cao army sounded the sound of war drums - as fast as a shower, like thunder, only the eardrums of the people who were shocked hurt, the heart beat wildly, and the blood all over the body boiled!

With the rumbling sound of war drums, hundreds of thousands of soldiers - fully armed, lined up neatly, set up a mountain-like military formation, the shouts resounded through the world, and the power was terrifying!

There are more than 450,000 soldiers in the Cao army, all of whom are well-trained and battle-hardened, some have participated in the battle of Liaodong, some have participated in the battle of Guandu, and some have expeditioned to the Xiliang frontier, and have washed the tribes of the Di people and Hu Qian in blood!

In the morning, the city gate of Xuchang opened, and in the melodious drum music, a team slowly appeared, in front of thousands of elite tigers and leopards, then thousands of elite tigers and leopards, then the Chinese military officials, and finally the team of Xiangfu, with an apricot yellow flag in the middle!

There is a person under the banner of Daxu, wearing golden armor, with a sword in the sky, and a 'claw yellow flying lightning' on his mount, looking forward to it left and right, showing the true character of the traitorous male, it is the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops - Cao Cao!

"Long life for the Prime Minister...... Long life for the Prime Minister! ”

Cao Cao was in high spirits, urging the horse to go straight to the camp, hundreds of thousands of soldiers waved weapons, raised their arms and shouted, and the shouts were higher and higher!

In the middle of the camp - a point general platform has been built, three feet high, more than 300 steps in circumference, divided into three layers, all over the five flags, there are handsome positions, Bai Xuan, Huang Yue, military talismans, arrows, copper tripods...... Hundreds of elite soldiers are stationed in the area!

When he came to the position of the Chinese army, Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, ran to the stage with a smoke, and after taking a few breaths, he sat on the handsome seat and began to divide the troops:

"Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen are the pioneers of the left and right, leading 30,000 horses to move forward, opening roads in the mountains, building bridges in the water, and pointing directly at Wancheng!"

"No!"

"Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan led the left wing, captured Shangyong and Jincheng, Cao Ren and Cao Hong were the right wings, captured the cities of Nanyang and Changsha, and the rest of the generals were in the middle with the old man, first took Nanjun and Jiangling, and then surrounded Xiangyang City on three roads, and captured Liu Biao and Liu Bei and the two thieves!"

"No!"

"Xiao Lang is both civil and military, can fight well, can lead the headquarters of the people, responsible for the eight sides to respond to the heavy task, and at the same time lead the naval vessels, defeat the enemy on the river!"

"The last general obeys!"

"As for the affairs of the rear, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi listened to the order, and sat in Yecheng, Luoyang, and Xuchang respectively, to deal with internal affairs, allocate grain, grass, and ordnance, and ensure that the army has no worries!"

"No!"

……………………………………………………

Cao Cao's tactics were very clever, using the advantage of his own troops, attacking from three directions, outflanking and encircling, and forming a whale swallowing trend against Jingzhou!

But it is also very eccentric, all the easy and safe tasks are handed over to their brothers, children and nephews, so that they can make contributions, and the hard things are pushed to Xiao Yi.

Especially in terms of the navy, it is difficult, tiring and dangerous, the sailor team of the Cao Ying Group has only been established for two years, with few people, small boats, insufficient training, and unfamiliar tactics.

If you want to compete with the large-scale and well-equipped Jingzhou naval army in the turbulent Yangtze River, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

The generals with different surnames looked at each other, and they all felt that the division of troops was unfair, and hoped that Xiao Yi could stand up and fight with the prime minister, but Xiao Yi calmly took the order and arrow, and there was no embarrassment at all.

"This time the army went south to crusade, under the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, under the heart of the people, and hope that the soldiers will work together to kill the enemy bravely, and whoever has made great merits, the prime minister will not hesitate to reward the marquis!"

"Wan Sheng! --Wan Sheng! --Wan Sheng! ”

……………………

After dividing the troops and sending generals, Cao Cao was quite happy in his heart, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, the battle of Jingzhou will be won, and his great cause of unifying the world has taken another step forward, but soon there will be some unpleasantness, because the weather has changed abruptly!

When I entered the barracks just now, it was a good weather with high sun and no clouds, but I didn't expect that after a while, the clouds were overcast, covering the sky and the sun, and there were gusts of wind, which seemed to be showing signs of heavy rain!

The ancients believed that heaven and man sense, anything that happens around us, can be linked to natural phenomena, and the army is no exception, if you encounter a good weather with the sun shining, it is God blessed, it must be a victory, a success!

On the contrary, if it is a bad weather with dark clouds and lightning and thunder, it means that the will of God is not on their side, and if the troops are forcibly dispatched, there is a chance that they will lose the battle.

Cao Cao was angry in his heart, and he wanted to pass down military orders and severely punish officials who observed the weather, but after thinking about it, he had to hold back his breath!

Because it was not other officials who chose to go on today's expedition, it was Cao Cao's own idea, and he wanted to have a double happiness and go south on the day of his birthday, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating!

"Today's army is marching south, and it is the birthday of the Prime Minister, but there is a bad weather, isn't it a bad omen?"

"Sunny to cloudy, cloudy to overcast, doesn't it imply that this battle of the Southern Expedition will also go along first and then go against it, win first and then lose?"

"Let's be careful, so as not to plant a big heel, those who follow the sky will prosper, and those who go against the sky will die!"

………………………………

Seeing that the weather has changed, the civil and military ministers in the audience can't help but whisper, most of them think it is a bad omen, and some people even secretly wonder if they can dissuade the prime minister from holding a departure ceremony on another day, and it is best to cancel the southern expedition!

The ominous celestial phenomena are only one of the reasons, what everyone is really worried about is the problem of instability in the rear, the difficulty of collecting grain and grass, taxes, and people's husbands, and the people's war-weariness is extremely high.

"Haha! --Since ancient times, it is difficult to ask about the will of heaven, the old man is leading the army today, and he wants to ask how the will of heaven is, and ask the wizard to come up and divinate the good fortune! ”

Cao Cao was cunning and cunning, knowing that there were many people who did not support this large-scale army to the south, and the soldiers were also war-weary, so he had already thought of a way to boost the morale of the whole army through the will of heaven!

"The thirty-seven generations of Heavenly Witches of the Hidden Sect, with a group of disciples, see the Prime Minister--Lucky Star Gaozhao, longevity!"

A moment later, more than a dozen wizards in black cloaks came to the platform, holding bells, swords, axes, pots, towers, harps, tripods, seals, and mirrors in their hands...... All kinds of bronze magic weapons are very mysterious!

The chief wizard - a rickety figure, white beard, and cloudy eyes, at least seventy or eighty years old, but wearing a large white cloak and holding a palm-sized tortoise shell!

"Born with all things, with spirituality, five witches and five spirits, not as good as the turtle spirit, you can know the death of people, know life, the governor succeeds, the governor loses, today's army goes out, predicts the victory or defeat, and hopes that the turtle will appear...... Wow! Wow! ”

The wizards circled around - bouncing, chanting, screaming, or making exaggerated movements, and some of them went crazy and foamed at the mouth and passed out!

The great wizard sat cross-legged, a pile of charcoal fire rose in front of him, and he put the tortoise shell on the fire to roast it, and his eyes were fixed on the lines on it, as if he was trying to figure out the will of heaven...... The eyes of the civil and military ministers have also converged!

The ancients believed that the sky was round, the tortoise's dorsal carapace was bulging like the sky, and the abdominal carapace was flat, so the tortoise was considered to be a kind of spiritual creature that knew astronomy and geography, and the tortoise shell was an auspicious thing that predicted survival and death, and asked for good fortune!

In ancient times, the emperor had a special diviner who used a charcoal fire to grill the tortoise shell, and then according to the cracks on the tortoise shell, they predicted state affairs, wars, weather, disasters, and marriages...... Big things and small feelings, all divination, according to legend, the appearance of the text is derived from the tortoise shell!

Some people can't help but ask, divination, mysterious and mysterious, the country is going to send troops to fight, if you take a good fortune, you can naturally boost morale, in case God does not give face, what to do if there is an inauspicious hexagram, will not send troops?

If it was in ancient times, it really couldn't fight, for example, when Emperor Yao was in power, he once wanted to attack the Sanmiao tribe, and asked the wizard to divinate before the expedition, and the hexagram showed that it was not suitable to use the sword soldiers, but the war really didn't start!

But in the Spring and Autumn Period, the original sacred divination law has also become a tool for politicians, often deceitful and fabricating the will of heaven, so as to achieve their own goals!

For example, during the Warring States Period, the famous general Le Yi led the Five Nations Alliance Army to attack Qi, and within six months, he conquered more than 70 cities, and there were only two cities left in Qi State, Ju and Jimo, which had reached the verge of extinction, and the people were also panicked!

Since the conformist general-Tian Dan is a smart person, he knows that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and it is not suitable to fight hard, so he first used a counter-strategy to force Le Yi to flee the Yan country, and bribed the wizard with a lot of money to make a good fortune hexagram, thus stabilizing the hearts of the Qi people, and finally breaking the Yan army with the fire bull array and recovering the lost city!

The book returned to the main story, after a pillar of incense, the divination ceremony was completed, the old wizard reversed the turtle shell, checked the lines on it, and then his body trembled violently, and the originally dim eyes instantly revealed two fine lights......

Taking a deep breath, the old wizard stabilized his mind, used his body to block the surrounding vision, and actually hid the baked tortoise shell into the left sleeve, and at the same time, an identical tortoise shell slipped out of the right sleeve, cleverly stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix!

"The heaven-given god pattern, the pattern is said to be big, this is a sign of great luck, indicating that the army is going south - invincible and invincible!"

The old wizard lifted the tortoise shell, there were many lines on it, and the three of them were the clearest, connected to each other, and actually formed a 'big' character, which was really wonderful, and then took a few steps forward and handed it over to Cao Cao's hands!

"Victory! -Win! --Our army will win! ”

After Cao Cao saw it, he nodded with satisfaction, and passed the tortoise shell to the civil and military ministers, as well as the big and small soldiers, and everywhere he went, everyone was amazed and thunderous, and the morale that was originally a little low was also encouraged again!

Only Xiao Yi and Cheng Yu ...... A few strategists, silent, secretly sneering, since ancient times, wise men serve gods, fools serve gods, this kind of pediatric deception, they see it clearly, as for the real providence, in fact, mortals can peep into it?
