Today's weather is extremely hot and dry, and it is a sauna day in the words before Liu Bian's crossing.
A group of more than 2,000 horsemen galloped in the direction of Xiangyang in the scorching sun, and almost all of them were sweating, even if Liu Weigui was the Son of Heaven, he could not escape the doom of soaking through his clothes.
The leaves of the willows on the roadside hung listlessly, and only the toads in the pond and creek chirped hysterically, and even jumped from the river valley to the road, crawling densely, like a military parade.
There was no wind in the sky, and the large clouds were orange, like ribs, and they were displayed in the sky one by one, and then carefully gazed at the zebra crossing at a crossroads, of course, no one understood the meaning of this word except Liu Wei.
"Call" Zhuge Liang took the reins of his horse and motioned for Liu Wei to stop, "There is a vision in the sky, I'm afraid there will be a disaster" "Calamity" Liu Quan stopped and followed Zhuge Liang's gaze to look up at the sky.
"Ding Dong Zhuge Liang's Sky Viewing attribute is triggered, increasing 50 professional intelligence points, which will greatly improve the judgment of meteorology."
The system rang in Liu Wei's mind.
At the same time, Liu Wei suddenly woke up, and almost spit out two words in unison with Zhuge Liang: "earthquake" "Earthquake" Wei Zheng and Fu Zhu were startled and asked one after another.
Zhuge Liang bowed slightly: "Yes, according to Liang's observation, there will be an earthquake within twelve hours." ” "This strange shape of the cloud overhead is called an earthquake cloud, which is a precursor to an earthquake.
The toads in the ponds and rivers came to the post road because they had a premonition of danger.
Liu Wei pointed to the clouds above his head, and then pointed to the dense toads on the road, and explained to his entourage.
Fu Zhu, Wei Zheng and others are all knowledgeable people, and after being reminded by Zhuge Liang and the Son of Heaven, they immediately came to their senses, and bowed their heads again and again: "Listening to what Your Majesty and Kong Ming said, it seems that this celestial phenomenon is a precursor to an earthquake nine times out of ten." ” Only Zhang Chuchen looked at his man with a face, and his eyes were full of admiration: "Your Majesty's knowledge is so profound, you can even see that the clouds in the sky are earthquake clouds, and the red breeze is a long day of learning." ” "Your Majesty is right, the clouds in the sky and the toads on the ground are all precursors of the imminent earthquake, but can Your Majesty guess where the shaking heart is" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand and asked with a smile.
"I really can't see this" Liu Wei smiled, and said in his heart that I am not a seismograph, and I can't observe the sky, it would be good to be able to guess that the celestial phenomenon you said was an earthquake.
Zhuge Liang looked up at the orange clouds with strong ribs, his eyes were slightly closed, and there were words in his mouth, and after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes: "According to my calculations, the epicenter is about one hundred and fifty miles away from our current position."
"One hundred and fifty miles, isn't that near Xiangyang?"
asked with a frown.
Zhuge Liang bowed slightly: "Yes, the epicenter of the earthquake is near Xiangyang" Liu Wei didn't know how to look at it, but based on the seismic clouds in the sky, the dense toads on the post road, and Zhuge Liang's solemn expression, he could imagine that this was by no means an ordinary minor earthquake, and it was at least a major earthquake above level 7.
"Your Majesty, Xiangyang is one of the few big cities in the world, with 300,000 inhabitants in the city, houses and shops.
At present, we have two choices, the first is to spread the news of the imminent earthquake in Xiangyang to the city, so that the people can prepare early, but then Sun Cejun will definitely take countermeasures, which is not conducive to a sudden attack.
The second is to cover the news, take advantage of the earthquake to tear open the city wall of Xiangyang, and kill Sun Ce by surprise with lightning speed, but this will definitely cause huge casualties among the people, please make a decision quickly" Zhuge Liang hugged the feather fan in his arms and threw out the two choices faced by Liu Wei.
"Spread the news to Xiangyang City, so that the people can prepare early" Liu Wei chose the former without hesitation, if the city wall of Xiangyang was torn apart and collapsed by the earthquake, whether Sun Ce was prepared or not, and what did it matter In the face of such natural disasters, the way of the king should give way to life, whether you are a prince, a general, or an emperor, you should respect life Liu Wei immediately sent messengers to Xiangyang to deliver the news of the imminent earthquake within twelve hours to Yue Fei and Ma Chaoda's battalion, so that they could not attack the city before the earthquake and reduce casualties.
After the earthquake, there is a chance that there will be a gap in the city wall of Xiangyang due to the collapse, so that there is no need to fill in the foot of the city wall with human lives, and at the same time, the news of the imminent earthquake in Xiangyang should be spread into the city, so that the people of Xiangyang can be prepared to deal with it.
The envoy received the order, hurried to Xiangyang, which was one hundred and fifty miles away, and two hours later entered the Ma Chaoda camp and delivered a handwritten letter from the Son of Heaven.
The 40,000 soldiers in Ma Chao's camp sharpened their knives Huo Huo, and they had agreed with Yue Fei to attack the city at the same time early tomorrow morning, but they didn't expect things to change suddenly, Ma Chao hurriedly summoned Sun Bin, Long Ji, Zhang Liao, and his two women to discuss countermeasures.
"I also noticed something unusual in the sky, but I didn't expect it to be an earthquake.
Kong Ming has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and knows the celestial phenomena well, since he said that there will be an earthquake within twelve hours, he can't run away if he wants to" Sun Bin stroked the beard at the corner of his lips, convinced of Zhuge Liang's judgment.
Qin Liangyu admired Liu Wei's choice very much: "Your Majesty is really a benevolent king, not greedy for momentary success, but taking the people's lives as their own responsibility, it is really commendable, so we wrote the news of the imminent earthquake in Xiangyang in the letter, and sent crossbowmen to shoot into the city."
Sun Bin high-fived in favor: "So the best" It was already twilight, and Sun Bin immediately wrote more than 100 letters with more than a dozen writers, telling the people and defenders of Xiangyang City that there would be an earthquake in Xiangyang within 12 hours, and the people must be careful to avoid being buried by the ruins and broken walls, and being injured by the collapsed houses, causing huge casualties.
After the letter was written, Zhang Liao took more than a dozen archers to board the boat, took advantage of the cover of night to reach the foot of the southern city wall of Xiangyang, tied the letter to the feather arrow and shot it into the city. ran along the southern city wall of Xiangyang, and shot all the hundred and ten letters into Xiangyang City like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, before retreating.
Since things have changed, the plan for the simultaneous siege of the city tomorrow will have to be changed.
Ma Chao left Long Ji and Zhang Liao to guard the camp, and he and Sun Bin took a small boat, crossed the wide moat, and quietly rushed to Xiangyang in the north of the city.
Xiangyang is surrounded by water on all sides, if you want to go from the south of the city to the north of the city, in addition to falling off the suspension bridge to cross the city, you can only rely on boats to cross the river, a large number of warships will be blocked by Sun Cejun, but the small boats and light boats are not so easy to detect under the cover of night.
At this moment, Yue Fei's camp is also murderous, the momentum is like a rainbow, the sound of sharpening knives and guns comes and goes, and the soldiers who have besieged Xiangyang for ten months are full of fighting spirit one by one, and they are ready to make a great achievement.
The lights in the tent were brilliant, Yue Fei sat in the middle, and Liu Ye, the military advisor, sat aside.
The generals were separated on both sides, and there were Gao Chong, Yue Yun, Ma Zhong, and Dong Xi on the left; On the right are Yang Zaixing, Gao Changgong, Gao Xianzhi, Lu Meng, and a number of partial generals and lieutenants, who are discussing how to attack the city tomorrow.
Hearing that Ma Chao and Sun Bin suddenly arrived overnight, Yue Fei hurriedly sent his eldest son Yue Yun out of the camp to greet him on his behalf.
Yue Yunsheng, who is seventeen years old this year, has a majestic appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his height has reached eight feet five inches, which is slightly taller than Yue Fei.
In the past six months, Yue Yun has been eager to fight, and he wants to win the first credit for breaking Xiangyang, but the Son of Heaven and his father are unwilling to fill it with human lives, so they can only wait helplessly.
A few days ago, Liu Wei sent someone to send him a pair of eight-sided dragon and tiger golden hammers weighing one hundred and ten catties each, and Yue Yun was excited and didn't fall asleep for several nights.
It's a pity that his father still refuses to attack the city, and a pair of sledgehammers are useless, which makes Yue Yun regret it in his heart; Now that it was finally time to attack Xiangyang, Yue Yun was more excited than anyone else.
"Yue Yun has seen General Meng Qi" Yue Yun paid homage to Ma Chao, and admired the mighty Qiang Hu and the famous Jin Ma Chao, and he always dreamed that one day he would be able to kill all sides like Ma Chao and slaughter a few famous generals, so as to be worthy of the pair of sledgehammers in his palm.
"General Yue Xiao Hugh wants to be polite, where is Governor Yue" Ma Chao returned the salute and asked.
Yue Yun led the way in front and led Ma Chao and Sun Bin straight to the Shuai Tent: "General Meng Qi and Mr.
Sun, please come with me, my father is discussing the strategy of breaking the city with the generals in the Shuai Tent." ” Ma Chao and Sun Bin followed Yue Yun to the handsome tent, greeted Yue Fei and the generals, and Yue Fei ordered someone to prepare a seat for Ma Chao and asked about the intention.
Sun Bin told the Son of Heaven the letter again, informing Yue Fei that there would be a major earthquake in Xiangyang within twelve hours, and the original battle plan had to be changed.

"Hehe, it's a good thing," Yue Fei stroked his beard and laughed, "If we can collapse the wall of Xiangyang, we will at least lose tens of thousands of soldiers."
Everyone discussed, and finally Yue Fei made a summary: "Since there will be an earthquake in Xiangyang, we don't have to rush to attack the city.
After the earthquake, Xiangyang will be able to break itself.
However, there are still nearly 50,000 Sun troops in the city, and Sun Ce will definitely not be captured, and desperately breaking through is his only choice."
"Gao Chong, Yue Yun, and Yang Zaixing ordered the three of you to each lead 10,000 elite soldiers, and after a gap appeared in the Xiangyang city wall, they rushed into the city from three directions to encircle and suppress the Sun army."
Yue Fei waved his hand and issued the first arrow.
"The Last Will Do Duty" Gao Chong, Yang Zaixing, Yue Yun and other three tiger generals took the arrow with their heads held high and promised in unison.
"Lu Meng and Dong Xian, order you two to lead 20,000 horses on a warship to block the east gate of Xiangyang, and don't let Sun Cejun go east along the Han River.
Of course, after going down the river, there are Jiangxia and Chaisang, all the way our army controls the territory, and there are 70,000 sailors of Han Shizhong in the Yangtze River, and the possibility of Sun Ce breaking through to the east is very small.
Yue Fei shouted and sent out the second arrow.
"Gao Changgong, Gao Xianzhi, and Ma Zhong, order the three of you to lead 30,000 horses to the west of Fancheng to ambush, and Sun Cejun is very likely to break through to the west and rush to Shangyong and Hanzhong to defect to Liu Bei."
Yue Fei's eyes were blazing, and he sent out the third arrow.
Finally, he bowed his hand to Ma Chao and said: "The east, west, and north gates will be handed over to the soldiers under the command of this governor, blocking the road to the south, and the heavy responsibility of storming the south gate will fall on General Meng Qi."
Ma Chao also saluted: "Today, when I saw the fierce generals under the command of Governor Yuedu, Ma Chao was deeply admired.
Don't worry, the south gate is wrapped around my Ma Chao, and Sun Cejun will not want to pass through me even if he has a soldier." t1706231537:
