Chapter 338 Zhuge Liang borrows the east wind.
The brothers in Jinfan Camp were depressed, but the eldest brother Gan Ning was unwilling to abandon Wu and join Qin, so everyone could only feel so wronged. The brothers in Jinfan Camp thought to themselves, when I do your best, you don’t trust me. That’s right, I’ll just stop serving you.
After having this lazy idea, the people from Jinfan Camp drank and had no military discipline in the camp all day long. Gan Ning felt ashamed of his brothers and just thought they had not seen it. Fortunately, Jinfan Camp is now responsible for this irrelevant back door of the water village, otherwise it would be impossible to have a big mess.
In fact, it is not only the brothers under Gan Ning who are frustrated, but Gan Ning himself is frustrated. Gan Ning believes that he is a talented general, but now he is suspicious and discredited. Now, Gan Ning can be said to be because of his friendship with Sun Ce that he stayed in Wuying. Otherwise, he would have left with his brothers long ago.
In a blink of an eye, three days have arrived, and tonight is what Zhuge Liang said to be the day to borrow the wind.
Fankou, by the river.
Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang stood side by side and looked towards the riverside.
"Mr. Kongming, everything is ready now, but the east wind is not allowed. I wonder if this east wind can come as promised?" Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang.
Now, in Zhou Yu's opinion, whether Eastern Wu can win depends on whether Zhuge Liang can borrow the East Wind.
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, shook the goose feather fan in his hand and said, "Don't be anxious, the east wind will come tonight."
Zhuge Liang was full of confidence in saying this. Why was Zhuge Liang so sure that the east wind would come tonight? Could it be that he had looked at the weather forecast? In that era, there was no such thing as weather forecast.
If there is a weather forecast, then Zhuge Liang is a weather forecast for living. Who is Zhuge Liang? This is a person who knows astronomy and geography.
Perhaps, Zhuge Liang saw through this celestial phenomenon that the east wind would definitely come tonight. Perhaps, Zhuge Liang really had the ability to borrow the east wind.
After all, the end of this science is metaphysics. No one can tell what happened during the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.
Fankou, Nanping Mountain.
This Nanping Mountain is a small hill beside Fan Port. Nanping Mountain is not high. It is not so much a mountain, let alone a small hillside.
Lu Su ordered people to build a seven-star altar for Zhuge Liang on the top of Nanping Mountain. The seven-star altar is divided into three layers, each layer is nine feet nine, the lowest layer is the largest, and the upper layer is the smallest.
The bottom layer is filled with twenty-eight flags, representing the twenty-eight constellations in the sky.
The seven green flags in the east are in the shape of the horn, Kang, Shi, House, Heart, Tail, Ji, and Canglong.
The seven soap flags in the north are used to form the power of Xuanwu by the Dou, cow, female, empty, dangerous, room, wall.
Seven white flags in the West are placed in the power of Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, Bi, Wei, Guan, and Baihu.
Seven red flags in the south are pressed into the shape of a vermilion bird, pressed by the well, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, and Zhen.
This second floor is surrounded by sixty-four yellow flags, which represent the sixty-four hexagrams of King Wen. These sixty-four yellow flags are divided into eight directions, and eight flags are erected in each direction.
Zhuge Liang brought six little boys in Taoist robes, right on the top floor. Zhuge Liang sat cross-legged in front of the altar, and there was a little boy at each of the four corners of the altar.
These little boys at the four corners of the altar, the boys in the east hold swords in their arms, the boys in the west hold flags, the boys in the south hold snails in their hands, and the boys in the north hold a big axe.
Behind Zhuge Liang, there was a boy standing on both sides. Each of the two boys was carrying a white banner. The white banner represented the direction of the wind. Later, Zhuge Liang gave the order, the boy shook the banner eastward and the east wind came.
Another boy was carrying a black banner, which represented the wind power. Zhuge Liang ordered that if the boy slowly shook the banner, the wind would come slowly. If the boy shook the banner rapidly, the wind would come quickly.
Zhuge Liang has been on the altar since he was taking a shower and changing clothes in the evening. Now it is already the third day of the night, Zhuge Liang has not moved.
Zhuge Liang did not move. The six little boys who accompanied him all fell asleep, and they stood there yawned one by one.
At this time, Zhuge Liang on the altar was not in a hurry, but Zhou Yu, who was waiting in the camp, was anxious. He went outside to see the direction of the wind every once in a while, but the east wind had not arrived.
"This Zhuge Kongming was not talking nonsense, saying that the east wind was coming at night, why is it almost three o'clock in the morning? The east wind has not come yet."
"If the east wind doesn't come yet, it will be dawn soon?" Cheng Pu said impatiently in the camp.
Now it's not only Cheng Puqiu, but Huang Gai is also anxious. His dozens of his fast-ships filled with hay, tung oil, sulfur and other fire-induced objects are ready. Now they are waiting for the east wind to rise, and then they take the Qin camp to sue.
"Dang, Dang, Dang."
Three gongs sounded, and the soldiers in the military camp were in charge of reporting the time.
"Grandmaster, is it already the third day?"
"Is Kong Ming's words trustworthy? Can this person borrow the east wind from God?" Cheng Pu was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
"General Cheng, Mr. Kong Ming never speaks nonsense. We are waiting for a while." Zhou Yu said to Cheng Pu.
Although Zhou Yu persuaded Cheng Pu at this time, he was actually in a state of great difficulty. It was already the third day of the day. If the east wind did not come, the fighter would have been delayed.
At the same time, when the third day of the sky arrived, Zhuge Liang stepped on the seven-star altar on Nanping Mountain, dancing with his hands, and muttering words.
"The wind is in the east."
"Bright moon, the wind is slowing down first."
Zhuge Liang shook his sword and ordered two Taoist boys.
Zhuge Liang's order came to an end. The two children were yawning and woke up instantly.
The Taoist boy named Qingfeng is shaking banners to the east with great force. The Taoist boy named Mingyue is also shaking banners with great force.
Fankou, Wu Junshuizhai Camp.
"Silent! Silent!"
It was originally calm and windless tonight, but as Zhuge Liang's ritual was about to end, the flag of Fankou Camp actually floated gently, making a rustling sound.
After a stick of incense, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and slowly the "huh" wind sounded outside.
The storm outside was very loud, and Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others naturally heard it clearly in the central army's tent.
"It's wind!"
Zhou Yu stood up in a flash, pulled his legs and walked outside the tent.
"Ha ha!"
"Mr. Kong Ming is really not to deceive me. The east wind is coming, the east wind is coming." Zhou Yu said to the sky and whistle.
"General Huang, you can set off."
