The days passed in such a day by day, like quicksand in the hand, and the time came to the eighth half in a blink of an eye. \ Half of August is the time of the autumnal equinox.
The moist mountains are like the sun, and the forests are dyed with flowers on the stones.
The late autumn wind is parting, and the love is deep and prosperous.
The rain cleans the dust, and the sudden wind and clouds roll away the layers of dryness and heat, sprinkle a trace of coolness, moisten the heart, and instantly feel verdant.
The trees are shaded, the leaves are dyed yellow, the flowers bloom and fall at will, and the autumn feng shui is cool.
Cao Chong stood in the Chongyuan Hall, and there was already the breath of autumn around him.
The most obvious feeling, naturally the weather is much colder, Xu Du is located in the north, the autumn equinox in the north, has a little bit of chill, plus this year's weather is extremely cold, early in the morning, on the side of the pole yellow grass, you can already see a few points of white frost.
The willow branches had lost all their green color, leaving only the dried branches, swaying weakly with the autumn wind, and farther away, the maple leaves had withered and yellowed, and the fallen leaves were scattered in the shade of the trees, and in an instant the aisle was floating in a golden color.
Autumn is the season of leaf fall, and it is also the season of harvest.
The millet fields around Xudu were already golden, waiting for the harvest of the croppers, but Cao Chong's eyes were not on Xudu.
His gaze was on the south.
There, it's Jingzhou After nearly a month of confrontation in Jingzhou, the situation has changed dramatically.
Among the four counties of Jingnan, Liu Bei defeated Li Dian in Cen Mountain, so that Li Dian's 30,000 troops were lost in Cen Mountain, and the only one who escaped in the end was Sima Xiahou Jie and a few cavalrymen.
Cao's army suffered heavy losses, and Cao Cao was furious, so he naturally sent more people to come, but he was stubbornly resisted by Liu Bei in the Cen Mountain area.
Liu Bei seems to be reluctant to let Cao's army reach Wuling County.
In the area of Jiangxia County, Zhang Liao, who was stationed in Xiakou in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, was still training his soldiers and horses every day, and he was originally going to take Xiakou down by surprise.
It's a pity that Huang Gai is not an idle person, Xiakou is well organized, and the summer water is mighty, if you cross the river rashly, I am afraid that you will be ambushed by Huang Gai, for safety reasons, Zhang Liao did not attack rashly, but trained soldiers and horses in Xiakou.
Soon after, Zhou Yu arrived at Xiakou with 50,000 horses, and Zhou Yu divided the camp into three, stationed on the bank of the Yangtze River.
The tens of thousands of troops brought out by Zhou Yu are very complicated, and it is naturally impossible to take them out to fight, so he did not start the battle lightly, and also trained troops in the camp.
Of course, everyone knows how long this calm will not last.
Because the autumn equinox has arrived, the autumn rain continues, but the snowmelt in the birthplace of the Yangtze River is a lot less, so that the water level of the Yangtze River is much lower, and the roaring giant of the Yangtze River has also begun to fall silent.
It's like the battle now.
The shallows of the Yangtze River are already exposed to one-third of the sandy beach, and this is only at the autumn equinox.
Zhou Yu's face was grim, knowing that the war might start again in the near future Stomp and tread The sound of horses' hooves continued, Cao Ren was dressed in Xuanjia and held a hideous spear in his hand, and at this moment, he had already arrived in the area of Cen Mountain.
Cen Mountain is not high, it is a low mountain, but it is this low mountain, but there are many changes, so that tens of thousands of Cao Junerlang are buried here.
Quack, quack, quack There were more crows in the sky, and among the layers of trees, there seemed to be countless armor.
During the autumn equinox, the leaves are constantly falling, but the leaves in the four counties of Jingnan have not fallen much, so under the gray sky, it looks a little gloomy.
In the past few days, Cao Ren and Liu Bei have been opponents several times, and they have won and lost each other, of course, the one who wins more is naturally himself.
Liu Bei wanted to block the 50,000-strong army in Cen Mountain, how could he leave so many people outside Wuling County without paying a price But today it seems a little different.
This mountain forest is a little noisy, some silent, in the mountain forest, you can not see a few birds fluttering.
Could it be that Liu Bei didn't want to stop himself Cao Ren waved his hand, and at the forefront of the army, more than a dozen people walked out, they were holding a ring-headed knife in their hands, carrying a burden on their backs, and suddenly walked into the jungle. twittering After half an hour, the men were covered with grass clippings, and they still had swords in their hands, but the burden on their backs was gone, and although they looked embarrassed, there was no resentment on their faces, and immediately they returned to their ranks.
At the same time, the distant mountains seemed to sound a thunderclap.
Boom, boom, boom The flames were flying, and the loud noise was constantly in the mountains and forests, rolling thick black smoke, which was so high that even people from more than ten miles away could see it clearly.
Quack, quack, quack Roar, roar, roar The beasts fled, and on Cen Mountain, there were also bursts of fire.
Under such flames, no one can ambush themselves.
Cao Ren had a smile on his face, if it weren't for the insufficient gunpowder reserves before, I would have used this trick a long time ago, but there is nothing wrong with using it now.
Big-eared thief, big-eared thief, just wait for me Cao Ren had a cold smile on his face, and with a wave of his hand, the army moved slowly and methodically between the two thick smokes.
On Wuling City, Liu Bei was dressed in Confucian clothes, and his body was still upright, but it seemed that he was fighting wits and courage with Cao Ren day after night, and his spirit looked a little sluggish, but his eyes were radiating with essence.
Because the gunpowder is in hand.
Everyone knows that Liu Bei is a person who is good at forbearance, but when Guan Feng took the gunpowder formula to him, Liu Bei was like a child, laughing and jumping.
The gunpowder is in hand, and I see how you are my enemy Liu Bei even gave Guan Feng a force of 1,000 people and gave her the title of a front tooth general This is unthinkable for a woman, but no one will dispute it.
Because gunpowder is so important, with this thing, Liu Bei, and even the soldiers of the whole army, have the courage to be the enemy of Cao Jun.
Liu Bei raised his head, looked at the smoke in the distance, and knew that Cao Ren's department was already approaching Wuling City.
Before there was no gunpowder, if Cao's army approached Wuling City, Liu Bei would definitely abandon the city and flee, but now it seems to be different.
He already had gunpowder.

Liu Bei's eyes flickered, and his mouth began to become dry.
He was already eager to know Cao Cao's expression when he found out that he had a gunpowder formula, but unfortunately this gunpowder formula was obtained from the general as a prisoner, not from Cao Chong, otherwise, Liu Bei could still let Cao Cao Hu poison his son.
That's right, after returning to Wuling City, Guan Feng did not tell Liu Bei all the truth, but only said that the gunpowder was obtained by tying up the general as a prisoner, and Liu Bei also worked in Xu Du, and after understanding some of the situation, he knew that Guan Feng was telling the truth.
As for why Guan Feng didn't tell the truth, maybe even she couldn't tell the reason.
Of course, even if Guan Feng deceived himself, it didn't matter anymore.
Because the gunpowder recipe is already in hand:
