On November 20th, the auspicious day of Jiazi, Kongming took a bath and fasted. He wore Taoist robes, barefooted and came to the altar. He told Lu Su, "Zijing went to the army to help Gong Jin mobilize his troops. Don't be surprised if Liang's prayers are not answered." Lu Su said goodbye. Kong Ming told the officers guarding the altar: "You are not allowed to leave your position without permission. You are not allowed to whisper to each other. You are not allowed to speak nonsense. You are not allowed to be surprised. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Everyone accepted the order. Kong Ming walked slowly up to the altar, having determined his viewing position, he burned incense in the stove, poured water into the bowl, looked up to the sky and secretly wished. He went down to the altar and rested briefly in the tent, ordering the sergeants to take turns to eat. Kong Ming went to the altar three times a day and came down three times a day. But there was no southeast wind. It is also said that Zhou Yu asked a group of officers, Cheng Pu and Lu Su, to wait in the tent and wait for the southeast wind to blow up before dispatching troops. At the same time, he reported to Sun Quan to take over. Huang Gai has prepared twenty fireboats, with large nails densely covering the bows. The boats are loaded with reeds and dry firewood, filled with fish oil, covered with sulfur and flame salt, and covered with green cloth and oil sheets. A green dragon is placed on the bow. Tooth flags, and walking boats tied to the stern of the boat: waiting under the tent, just waiting for Zhou Yu's order. Gan Ning, Kan Ze and Cai He and Cai Zhong were in the water village, drinking wine every day without letting a single soldier land ashore. They were surrounded by Soochow troops and horses, and they were waiting for orders from the account. Zhou Yu was sitting in the tent for discussion when a spy came to report: "The ships of Marquis Wu are anchored eighty-five miles away from the stronghold, and they are just waiting for good news from the governor." Yu immediately sent Lu Su to tell all his officers and soldiers: "Everyone pack up your ships and weapons." , sails and oars, etc. Once the order is given, do not disobey it at any time. If there is any violation, the military law will be followed." All soldiers will be ordered to prepare for battle. Lord
That day, look at the night. The sky is clear and bright, and the breeze is motionless. Yu said to Lu Su: "Kong Ming's words are fallacious. How can we get the southeast wind in the middle of winter?" Su said: "I know that Kong Ming's words are not fallacious." At about the third watch, I suddenly heard the sound of wind and the turning of flags and streamers. . When Yu came out of the tent to take a look, the flag's foot was floating to the northwest. Suddenly, the southeast wind picked up, and Yu said in shock: "This person has the ability to conquer the creation of the heaven and earth, and the ability to predict the ghosts and gods! If this person is left here, it will be the root of the disaster of Soochow. Kill him as soon as possible to avoid the worry of the future."
