Starts already the passing moon/month from military campaign, Battle of Red Cliffs was also near the end. 距离战役开始已经过去月余,赤壁之战也已接近尾声。 Outside Yiling City, Zhou Yu main forces encampment. 夷陵城外,周瑜大军驻地。 Counts 100,000 main forces to encircle watertight Yiling, takes a broad view to look, on the land of outside the city height fluctuating, everywhere is the dense tents, the be continuous several li (0.5km), cannot withstand confused and noisy, sewage crossflow. 数十万大军将夷陵围得水泄不通,放眼望去,城外高低起伏的土地上,到处都是黑压压的营帐,绵延数里,噪杂不堪,污水横流。 The cold wind has blown, the General flag blows flap flap makes noise. 寒风吹过,将军旗吹的猎猎作响。 Near the woods in tent distant place, builds up several lumbering areas temporarily. Using lumber that nearby fells, forces requisition several thousand Artisan that from Jiangling City, stay up till dawn is constructing various Siege Equipment. 营帐更远处的树林边,临时建起几座伐木场。利用就近砍伐到的木材,从江陵城强制征调来的数千名工匠,正在日夜不停地建造各种攻城器械。 Several thousand services that on the path of mud, was forced requisition similarly, wear the worn-out clothes, is braving the cold wind, walks with difficulty to pick stone from the remote mountain, uses the crude stroller to transport to the battlefield above. 泥泞的道路上,同样是被强制征调来的数千劳役,穿着破旧的衣服,顶着寒风,步履艰难地从深山中采来石材,利用简陋的小推车运到战场之上。 Beside Army Camp, has become a giant temporary weapon processing base. Before has not constructed enough Siege Equipment, Zhou Yu did not prepare to attack Yiling, because simply did not have any odds of success. 军营之外,成了一座巨大的临时军械加工基地。在没有建好足够的攻城器械之前,周瑜是不准备攻打夷陵了,因为根本没有任何胜算。 Once for a while, but can also see that goes out „to hit food” the scattered army of return. 时不时地,还能见到外出“打食”归来的零散军队。 Yiling peripheral Village had been swept by main forces, the pellet has not saved. main forces wants to plunder the grain again, must arrive at farther Village. 夷陵周边的村落已经被大军扫荡了一遍,颗粒无存。大军想再搜刮到粮食,就必须走到更远的村落。 The Army Camp majority of services, nearby Village common people „voluntary” join. Makes the service also to have a food, the words that does not make, in the family|home did not have the grain only to wait for death. 军营的大部分劳役,正是附近村落的百姓“自愿”加入的。做劳役还能吃上一口饭,不做的话,家中没了粮食就只能等死了。 The dark clouds of provisions crisis, cover sky over Zhou Yu main forces gradually. Yesterday starting from, in armed forces already in limit grain ration, first compressed is Artisan and service. 粮草危机的阴云,渐渐笼罩在周瑜大军上空。昨天开始,军中已经在限制口粮了,最先被压缩的就是工匠和劳役。 They were forced requisition, not having the reward not saying that could not eat to the full including the food. 他们被强制征调来,没有报酬不说,连饭都吃不饱。 In the tumultuous times Livelihood of common people so cannot withstand. 乱世中百姓的生活就是如此不堪。 Similarly, Cao Army in Yiling City does not feel better. Hundreds of thousands main forces are stationed in a small town, even if there is a provisions storage, cannot stand up to main forces such consumption. 同样,夷陵城中的曹军也不好受。十几万大军驻扎在一座小城,即便有粮草储存,也经不住大军如此的消耗。 Runs out of food, has become the battle both sides common crisis. 断粮,成了交战双方共同的危机。 Now looked that who could not support first, regarding this Zhou Yu is confident. How to say again that they also take the lead, always can also collect some provisions every day. 现在就看谁最先撑不下去了,对此周瑜信心十足。再怎么说,他们也占据主动,每天总还能征集到一些粮草。 The Yiling garrison troops may sit idle and eat. 夷陵守军可就是坐吃山空了。 Zhou Yu looks like a patient hunter, tool that actively prepares to hunt, under cloth snare ; while the patient waiting, waited for game weakest time, gives again fatally its strikes. 周瑜像一位耐心的猎人,一边积极准备狩猎的工具,布下圈套；一边耐心等待,等待猎物最虚弱的时候,再给予其致命一击。 The premise does not have other accidents. 前提是不发生其他意外。 But falling to the enemy of Chaisang is the biggest accident, is the war biggest variable. 而柴桑的沦陷就是最大的意外,也是战争最大的变数。 ...... …… Walked for more than ten days, carries Zhang Zhao and the others Decked Ship Battleship the Rivercourse harbor outside Yiling City to anchor finally. Has the token that Sun Quan gives, Zhang Zhao one line sees Zhou Yu smoothly. 走了十余天,载着张昭等人的楼船战舰终于在夷陵城外河道港口停靠。有孙权给的令牌,张昭一行顺利见到周瑜。 „Admiral, Chaisang had an accident!” “都督,柴桑出事了！” Zhang Zhao has not covered up, directly the correspondence that Sun Quan as well as Ouyang Shuo write, gives Zhou Yu completely. 张昭没有遮掩,直接将孙权以及欧阳朔写的书信,全部交给周瑜。 Zhou Yu disassembles the letter, exceed looked that complexion is uglier, ended a deep sigh, the facial expression is ashamed: „Is my mistake, has underestimated Mountains and Seas City Fleet, has overestimated Mighty Tyrant their plan.” 周瑜拆开信件,越看脸色越难看,完了一声长叹,神情羞愧:“都是我的错,低估了山海城舰队,也高估了雄霸他们的计划。” „Admiral, was the enemy is too sly.” The Zhang Zhao comfort said. “都督,是敌人太狡猾了。”张昭安慰说道。 „Did not say this.” Zhou Yu beckoned with the hand, his relations with the Zhang Zhao calculates not good, is not willing to reveal that in front of Zhang Zhao too many mood, said firmly: „My this transmitted orders, instantly breaks camp to withdraw troops.” “不说这个了。”周瑜摆了摆手,他跟张昭的关系算不上好,不愿在张昭面前表露太多情绪,坚定说道:“我这就传令,即刻拔营回师。” Sun Quan is captured, Zhou Yu has to return. 孙权被俘,周瑜不得不回。 Military order, entire camp grounds is in a tumult immediately. Receives the military order first, naturally is Zhou Yu directly under near 20,000 Jiangdong elite. 军令一下,整个营地立即骚动起来。最先接到军令的,自然就是周瑜直辖的近两万江东精锐。 This armed forces when attacking Jiangling City by Zhou Yu arranged for reserve forces, thus does not have War too to damage. 这支部队在攻打江陵城时被周瑜安排为预备队,因而没有太大战损。 The Zhou Yu can it be that fool, knows, if in the hand is not grasping a strengthening of the armed forces, is unable to blow them in any event are more than ten times of Otherworlder Corps. 周瑜又岂是蠢人,知道如果手上不握着一支强军,是无论如何都无法镇住比他们多十倍的异人军团的。 Di Chen and the others are also glad to install silly, harvests Military Campaign Contributions. 帝尘等人也乐得装糊涂,借此收割战役贡献值。 ...... …… The news that Zhou Yu must withdraw troops, less than a half hour passes to the Di Chen ear. 周瑜要撤军的消息,不到半个小时就传到帝尘耳中。 Di Chen one startled, rushes to the Army Camp account personally, asked: „Admiral, why is this?” 帝尘一惊,亲自赶到中军营帐,问:“都督,这是为何？” Zhou Yu within heart sighed, some do not dare to face the interrogation of Di Chen, the complexion said ugly: „Chaisang falls to the enemy, Lordship is captured, I must hurry back.” 周瑜心中一叹,有些不敢面对帝尘的质问,脸色难看地说道:“柴桑沦陷,主公被俘,我必须赶回去。” „What, did Chaisang fall to the enemy?” Di Chen by being startled could not speak. “什么,柴桑沦陷了？”帝尘被惊的说不出话来。 „You have a look!” “你自己看看吧！” Zhou Yu gives Di Chen the Sun Quan letter. 周瑜将孙权的信件递给帝尘。 „Can this be How Said No Clothes plays to cheat?” Di Chen cannot believe. “这会不会是岂曰无衣耍诈？”帝尘还是不敢相信。 „Has Zhang Zhao General to testify personally, how to cheat.” Zhou Yu shakes the head, introduced Zhang Zhao to Di Chen. “有张昭将军亲自作证,怎会有诈。”周瑜摇头,将张昭介绍给帝尘。 Di Chen saw, within heart one cool. 帝尘见了,心中一凉。 „Does How Said No Clothes, have no way to win your one time eventually happily?” “岂曰无衣,终究还是没法痛痛快快地赢你一次吗？” Di Chen within heart is intertwining, is not willing Zhou Yu like this to withdraw troops, said with emotions: „Admiral, the preparatory work of siege was near the end, saw that Yiling wants seize, at this time withdrew troops is a pity?” 帝尘心中纠结着,还是不愿周瑜就这样撤军,动情说道:“都督,攻城的准备工作已经接近尾声,眼看夷陵就要拿下,这个时候撤军是不是太可惜了？” „Does not have the means that Lordship in the enemy hand.” Zhou Yu also thinks somewhat regrettably. “没办法,主公在敌人手上。”周瑜也觉得有些遗憾。 „Admiral, I can guarantee that How Said No Clothes does not certainly dare General Sun to be really what kind. Do not forget, his subordinate may also in Yiling, refrain from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vases.” Di Chen said. „Furthermore Yiling leaves Chaisang such far, back and forth one time on over half a month. So long as we hit a time difference, decides to advance captures Yiling.” “都督,我敢保证,岂曰无衣一定不敢真的把孙将军怎么样。不要忘了,他的部下可还在夷陵呢,投鼠忌器。”帝尘说道。“再者夷陵离柴桑如此之远,来回一次就得大半个月。只要我们打一个时间差,定能先行将夷陵攻陷。” Has flash that Zhou Yu was excited. 有那么一瞬间,周瑜心动了。 Thinks that Zhou Yu endures suffering the rejection, shakes the head saying: „It is not good. I cannot make the gambling house with the Lordship safety, that too adventure|risk, non- official behavior.” 想了一想,周瑜还是忍痛拒绝,摇头说道:“不行。我不能拿主公的安危做赌局,那太冒险了,非臣子所为。” If the hostage is other people, Zhou Yu feared that bet. But that is Sun Quan, Zhou Yu does not dare to bet. 如果人质是其他人,周瑜怕是赌了。但那是孙权啊,周瑜不敢赌。 „Admiral, this time delivers a letter is not I comes, Mountains and Seas City High-General. In them the person, feared at this time was entered Yiling.” One side Zhang Zhao adds. “都督,此番送信不是我一人前来,还有山海城的将领。他们中的人,此时怕是已经进入夷陵了。”一侧的张昭跟着补充道。 „silly!” Di Chen short of breath. “糊涂啊！”帝尘气急。 Wants also to know how Yiling obtains the news that Chaisang falls to the enemy to rouse. Even if formerly they had one to draw back the timid meaning, at this time feared that also will cling to tenaciously. 想也知道,夷陵得到柴桑沦陷的消息会如何振奋。即便先前他们有一丝退怯之意,此时怕也是会死守到底了。 Must be cruel-hearted, main forces could not find to eat in city. Suffered that ten days of half a month, is issue does not have. 真要狠下心来,大军在城中也不是真就找不到吃的。捱个十天半个月,是一点问题都没有的。 historical once had the this lofty one city to persevere for over one year, still stands erect not but actually. 历史上曾有孤城坚守一年以上,依然屹立不倒。 Here, Di Chen knows that wants to leave behind Zhou Yu to fear is impossible, on face cloudy clear uncertain. 说到这,帝尘知道,想留下周瑜怕是不可能了,脸上阴晴不定。 Zhou Yu saw, a deep sigh: „Withdrawal of troops!” 周瑜见了,一声长叹:“撤军吧！” Di Chen gains ground suddenly, the look is firm, is full of the fighting spirit, said: „No, I will not withdraw troops.” 帝尘豁然抬头,眼神坚定,充满斗志,道:“不,我绝不会撤军。” „Do you want to disobey orders?” “你想抗命吗？” „Admiral, has not done right by, excuse our inability to comply. You have your choice, we have our choices. This time, we want seize Yiling.” The Di Chen manner is firm. “都督,对不住了,恕难从命。你有你的选择,我们也有我们的选择。这一次,我们一定要拿下夷陵。”帝尘态度坚决。 „Bold!” Zhang Zhao angrily rebukes. “大胆！”张昭怒斥。 „As you like!” Zhou Yu looks tired, beckoned with the hand, hints Di Chen to draw back. “随你吧！”周瑜神情疲惫,摆了摆手,示意帝尘退下。 Di Chen leaves stubbornly, finally makes parts on bad terms. 帝尘倔强地离开,最终还是闹得不欢而散。 „Admiral, how can you tolerate Otherworlder?” The Zhang Zhao facial expression is somewhat excited, he has not seen anyone, dares so blatantly to defy the military order, rash. “都督,你怎么能够纵容异人？”张昭神情有些激动,他还从没见过谁,胆敢如此公然违抗军令,胆大妄为的。 „How doesn't agree? The Otherworlder Corps several fold in our army, cannot demand.” “不同意又如何？异人军团数倍于我军,强求不得。” In the armed forces right to speak, must depend on the military strength speech eventually. 军中话语权,终究还得靠兵力说话。 Zhang Zhao listened, said being dumbfounded, he also leads the soldier, how can also not understand this truth. 张昭听了,被说的哑口无言,他也是带过兵的,又怎会不明白这个道理。 In the tent becomes silent. 营帐中一些变得寂静。 ...... …… Next day, Zhou Yu leads the Jiangdong officers to set off the homeward journey. 次日,周瑜就带着江东将士踏上归途。 Di Chen leads near 200,000 Otherworlder Corps, prepares storm Yiling. 帝尘则率领近二十万异人军团,准备强攻夷陵。 Two main forces separate from each other in light of this. 两支大军就此分道扬镳。 When main forces starts, has a small interlude. 大军启程时,发生一个小插曲。 With Mountains and Seas City Military General that Zhang Zhao comes together, to Zhou Yu proposed that a request, requesting Zhou Yu this person to ride Decked Ship Battleship to evacuate, Jiangdong main forces hands over by other High-General brings back to Chaisang. 跟着张昭一起来的山海城武将,向周瑜提出一个要求,要求周瑜本人乘坐楼船战舰撤离,江东大军交由其他将领带回柴桑。 „Do not go too far!” Zhou Yu did not say anything, Zhang Zhao actually could not bear. “不要欺人太甚啊！”周瑜不好说什么,张昭却是忍不住了。 Which this is invites, clearly is detains and imprisons. 这哪是请啊,分明就是扣押、囚禁。 „Insignificant General follows orders to handle affairs, but also asked General do not make me feel embarrassed.” The Mountains and Seas City assistant general is neither arrogant nor servile, „my family Your Lordship said that for the General Sun safety, Zhou Yu Admiral can certainly forgive.” “末将只是奉命行事,还请将军不要让我为难。”山海城偏将不卑不亢,“我家君上说了,为了孙将军的安危,周瑜都督一定能体谅的。” „You!” Zhang Zhao was wild with rage by this naked threat. “你！”张昭被这赤裸裸的威胁气疯了。 „Since is the Landgraf No Clothes request, I was respectful might as well obey orders. Then, I just want to experience Giant-scale Battleship of expensive unit.” Zhou Yu is actually open-minded, thinks little. “既然是无衣领主要求的,那我就恭敬不如从命了。说起来,我正想见识一下贵部的巨型战舰呢。”周瑜倒是豁达,不以为意。 He turns the head to say to Zhang Zhao: „Exhausted General Zhang brings armed forces to go back!” 他转头对张昭说道:“劳烦张将军带部队回去吧！” „!” But Zhang Zhao nods. “诺！”张昭无奈点头。 Ouyang Shuo such does, is because it cannot be helped. He does not dare to underestimate Zhou Yu, lets Zhou Yu Commander main forces, who knows that will present any accident. 欧阳朔这么做,也是出于无奈。他绝不敢低估周瑜,让周瑜统领大军,谁知道会出现什么变故。 Therefore, best means Zhou Yu welcome to Battleship on. 因此,最好的办法还是将周瑜请到战舰上。 Such does is in disguised form is also protecting Zhou Yu, Ouyang Shuo cannot conclude, person who in Cao Cao Faction Otherworlder Corps also has Di Chen, his hope Zhou Yu half-way does not have any accident. 这么做也是在变相保护周瑜,欧阳朔不敢断定,曹操阵营的异人军团中还有没有帝尘的人,他可不希望周瑜半道出现什么意外。 In order to obtain Zhou Yu, Ouyang Shuo also calculates that thought through a matter. 为了得到周瑜,欧阳朔也算用心良苦了。 ************ ************ Yiling City, somewhere hotel. 夷陵城,某处宅邸。 White Flower and the others received the confidential letter that Ouyang Shuo mails, is raising the heart puts down finally slightly. 白桦等人收到欧阳朔寄来的密函,提着的心终于稍稍放下。 „No Clothes has not disappointed us really!” “无衣果真没让我们失望！” On the Phoenix Imprisons Phoenix face shows the happy expression, these days was sieged in Yiling, they are bearing the greatest pressure. 凤囚凰脸上露出笑意,这段时间被围困在夷陵,她们承受着莫大的压力。 „Is only this military campaign, we degenerated into the supporting role.” Phoenix Imprisons Phoenix is somewhat stubborn. “只是这一次战役,我们又沦为配角了。”凤囚凰有些倔强。 In Ouyang Shuo decided when along with Fleet goes to battle, Phoenix Imprisons Phoenix within heart is rousing a vigor, she also wants to take this rare opportunity, proves well. 在欧阳朔决定随舰队出征时,凤囚凰心中可是鼓着一股劲,她也想利用这次难得的机会,好好证明一番。 Where thinks that has actually lost to traitor. 哪里想到却败给了内鬼。 Although said that South of the Colored Clouds and the others rebellion with Phoenix Imprisons Phoenix irrelevant, thinks that is very aggrieved. 虽然说彩云之南等人的叛乱跟凤囚凰无关,想想还是十分憋屈。 White Flower looked at Phoenix Imprisons Phoenix to be the same, said lightly: „I guess that Di Chen well-behaved will definitely not submit.” 白桦看了凤囚凰一样,淡淡说道:“我猜,帝尘肯定不会乖乖屈服的。” „The fellow wants to defeat No Clothes in Military Campaign Map with all one's heart, is about to be bewitched. This time won our half game with great difficulty, how also to easily speak to give up.” Phoenix Imprisons Phoenix also looks to Di Chen very much passes, shifting to a new subject, killing qi is imposing: „If could not cope Di Chen, we did not match to make the No Clothes ally.” “那家伙一门心思想在战役地图击败无衣,都快着魔了。这次好不容易胜了我们半局,又岂会轻言放弃。”凤囚凰对帝尘也看得很透,话锋一转,杀气凛然:“如果连帝尘都对付不了,那我们也不配做无衣的盟友了。” „Yes!” White Flower nods, the facial expression is indifferent, the within heart killing intent is actually not lower than Phoenix Imprisons Phoenix, „was disputes with Di Chen well, South of the Colored Clouds the account, must reckon up.” “是呢！”白桦点头,神情淡然,心中的杀意却不低于凤囚凰,“是得跟帝尘好好较量一下了,彩云之南的这笔账,必须算清楚。” Two female woman, or are the female demons, reaches an agreement actually extraordinarily at this matter. 两位女巾帼,或者说是女魔头,在这件事情上倒是出奇地达成一致。 „We must plan well!” Phoenix Imprisons Phoenix smiles. “那我们可得好好策划一下！”凤囚凰一笑。 Although two females are different, the special characteristics that does not concede are the same. 两女虽然性格不同,不服输的特质却是一样的。
