Chapter 085: Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai 1
Cai Mao's brothers, Cai He and Cai Zhong, brought 500 soldiers and crossed the river from Jiangbei to surrender. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the two of them saw Zhou Yu, wept and knelt on the ground, saying that the clan brother was killed innocently, and he would take revenge, and he came to surrender. Zhou Yu was overjoyed, rewarded the two of them, and sent them under Gan Ning's men to wait for the dispatch.
Zhou Yu secretly said to Gan Ning: "Cai He and Cai Zhong didn't bring their families here, they didn't really want to surrender, they must have been sent by Cao Cao to inquire about the military situation." I want to use them to convey the news to Cao Ying, you have to be quiet, be careful, and don't be negligent at all. ”
Zhou Yu pondered for a long time, how can we get close to Cao Ying and carry out a fire attack? There must be someone in our camp to surrender, and they must be more capable than Cai Zhong and Cai He, so that they can get close to Cao Ying and set fire, and who should they send? Zhou Yu thought of all the civilian and military generals under his command one by one, and did not pick out a suitable candidate. Zhou Yu paced back and forth in the sleeping tent, and couldn't sleep even if he wanted to, so he had to sit under the lamp and open the military book, but he still couldn't think of who was suitable.
At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside the tent, and someone outside spoke: "Is the governor resting?"
Zhou Yu heard it, it turned out that the old general had arrived. Zhou Yu got up and was just about to greet him, when the curtain was lifted, and a veteran walked in from the outside. This veteran is nine feet tall on the flat top, with a tiger body and a bear waist, crane hair and a childish face, wearing a pale yellow satin ducktail scarf, and a silver hair sprinkled all over his chest, which is extremely moisturized. It was the grain officer of Soochow who came, the veteran Huang Gai.
Huang Gai gave a deep salute to Zhou Yu: "See the governor." ”
"Old general, why don't you rest when the day is over?"
"Dudu, Cao's army is pressing, and the last general can't sleep. ”
Zhou Yu was smart and knew that Huang Gai must have something to do when he came to see him late at night: "The old general came here late at night, and he must have a good plan to teach me." ”
"Governor, now there are too many Cao soldiers, and Jiangdong soldiers are too few, outnumbered, it is not suitable to fight for a long time, I hope that the governor will quickly use fire to attack Cao soldiers. ”
Zhou Yu was taken aback, and reached out to cover Huang Gai's mouth: "Old general, be quiet." ”
Then Zhou Yu walked out of the tent lightly, and saw that there was no one outside, so he was relieved: "Old general, who taught you to use fire to attack Cao?"
"Governor, this is a strategy I have come up with based on my decades of combat experience, isn't it right?"
"Old general, I also want to use fire to attack, so I pretended to leave Cai Zhong and Cai He and let them deliver the news. However, if you want to burn the warship and defeat Cao's soldiers, someone in Jiangdong must surrender to Cao Cao. But I thought about it, and I couldn't find this deceitful person. ”
Huang Gai clasped his fists with both hands: "Dudu, the last general is willing to deceive Cao Cao." ”
"Old General, you can't go. ”
"Governor, I am brave and loyal to the country, why can't I go?"
"Old general, if you don't suffer from some flesh and skin, how can Cao Cao believe that you are truly surrendering?"
"Dudu, Huang Gai received the kindness of the third emperor of the Sun family, for the cause of Jiangdong, his liver and brain were smeared, and he died without regrets, I am determined to deceive Cao Cao. ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was very grateful, and fell to his knees with a puff: "For the hegemony of my lord, it is all thanks to the old general to surrender, please accept Zhou Yu's worship." ”
Huang Gai couldn't help but kneel: "Governor, for the cause of Jiangdong and the same country, why do you have to do this?"
"Old general, it is Jiangdong's luck to do this bitter trick. ”
"Dudu, for the sake of the fathers and elders of Jiangdong, don't talk about bitter meat schemes, even if you cut off Huang Gai's head, I am also willing. ”
Zhou Yu stood up first, he held Huang Gai, Zhou Yu's dantian was lucky, transported to his arms and wrists, and held Huang Gai's two arms, Zhou Yu was relieved. Can Cao Cao believe it? Can he really fight? The old general's beard is all white, and he is over the age of sixtieth, can he withstand a severe beating? Therefore, Zhou Yu tried this time, the old general's body was very strong, not weaker than the middle-aged people, and his arms were like iron, Zhou Yu was very relieved. The two of them discussed the strategy of breaking Cao.
The next day, Zhou Yu gave an order, beat the drum to raise the tent, and at the same time asked Lu Su to invite Zhuge Liang to the tent.
Zhou Yu said: "Generals, I was ordered by the lord to lead the three armies to break Cao, but Cao Cao's million-strong army, the division of tigers and wolves, camped for more than 300 miles, and Jiangdong only had 50,000 horses, outnumbered, if you want to break Cao, it is not easy to talk about it." The Governor of Pontus intends to distribute three months' worth of grain and grass to you from today as a ward against the enemy, and we will guard it for three months to see what happens in Cao's camp before making a decision. As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other.
At this time, Huang Gai stepped forward: "Governor and slow!"
"What does General Huang have to say?"
"Dudu, at present, the enemy is strong and I am weak, you are right, it is difficult to win. Needless to say three months, even thirty months of grain and grass will not help. If you can't break Cao Cao this month, you might as well listen to what Zhang Zhao said, abandon your armor and turn against you, and claim to be a vassal in the north. In this way, everything will be fine, and millions of living beings in Jiangdong will also be spared the disaster of fire and water. ”
Zhou Yu was furious, and slapped the table with his hand: "Drink! The bold Huang Gai! The lord has already given an order, and those who surrender will be killed, how dare you talk nonsense in my big tent? I gave you three months of grain and grass to make you hold on, this is a plan for the tired army." If Cao's soldiers are not accustomed to water warfare, Cao's army may withdraw its troops if it drags on, and then we will pursue it in an all-round way, and Cao's army can be destroyed. As an official of the Eastern Wu Grain Stage, do you dare to defy the Pondu Governor's scheme?"
Huang Gai shook his head, and the silver hair on his chest trembled: "Dudu, isn't this a beating with his head in his hands? If Cao Cao's army goes south, Cao's army will win, and Jiangdong will be defeated." So it seems. It's better to surrender. ”
When the two armies were facing each other, you dared to persuade me again and again in the tent to surrender and disturb our army's heart. Come, push Huang Gai out, kill!"
Huang Gai was not convinced, his eyebrows were upside down, and his tiger eyes were wide: "Zhou Yu, I think I am an old minister of the third generation of Eastern Wu, experienced in a hundred battles, and you were not born when I was fighting!"
Zhou Yu was so angry that the pheasant's tail trembled: "Push it out, kill!"
The knife and axe hand didn't dare to slack off, so he came over and tied the old general's shoulders and arms, and pushed it in the direction of going out.
The civil and military officials full of tents were frightened, and Gan Ning stepped forward: "Governor, keep people under the knife!"
"Gan Ning, what do you have to say?"
"You can't kill the old general Huang, the old general is the old minister of Jiangdong III, the general of the main public stock, and now kill the general, it is not good for the army, I hope the governor will forgive the old general. ”
"Phew, Gan Ning, do you dare to mess with my military law?
The tent army took a stick and beat Gan Ning and beat him out of the Chinese army's tent. Zhou Yu pointed with his hand: "Angry Governor Bendu, come, behead Huang Gai to show the public!"
The civil and military officials were all frightened, the deputy governor Cheng Pu looked at the civil and military officers, Gan Ning pleaded alone, you Zhou Yu beat the stick, we all knelt down, can you beat us all out? Everyone knelt down: "Governor, please take a break from the wrath of the thunder, the old general may have eaten a few more glasses of water and wine, and kill the veteran, it is not good for the army, please forgive the governor, and it is not too late to kill after breaking Cao." ”
Zhou Yu was still angry: "If you don't look at the feelings of everyone, how can I spare him?" The axe man hurriedly pushed Huang Gai back into the tent.
Huang Gai stood here and looked at Zhou Yu viciously: "Zhou Yu, you push me around, the old man is not afraid of a knife in your neck, and the old man will live again in the world in a few decades." You Zhou Yu was defeated at the hands of Cao Bing, and there is no place to bury you. ”
"What a bold Huang Gai, I see that for the sake of the generals, I will spare you from death, and you dare to defy the governor of Pontus in the big tent. The death penalty has been spared, the living crime is unforgivable, drag Huang Gai down, severely punish a hundred spines, and beat me hard!"
And they were all terrified, and the flesh of the back was the thinnest, and the foreheart was as deep as a well, and the back of the heart was as thin as bread. The back heart is closest to the heart. The old general was too old to stand two rods, and a hundred canes still beat him to death? Everyone knelt down and pleaded for mercy for the second time.
"Everyone, the governor of Pontus is in charge of the handsome seal, and he follows the law. If you don't hit the yellow cover, it will be difficult to convince the public, give me a heavy responsibility for a hundred spines!"
Seeing that the plea failed, everyone had to stand up. The executioner came and pressed the old general to the ground, and then took off his clothes, and his head came down with a cane; Who dares to see it? Huang Gai is an old minister of Eastern Wu, and he is usually very popular, so everyone dare not look at it, so they have to listen. Huang Gai lay on the ground, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, he said that it was Huang Gai, even the young man couldn't stand it, it was the pain of the heart, and the sweat beads of the old general's soybean grains flowed down.
Everyone was anxious and looked at Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao shook his head, lowered his head, and said in his heart: My plea is also in vain. Look at Cheng Pu, the veteran's face is purple.
Lu Su thought to himself: Who can intercede for the old general? When he saw Zhuge Liang, he became even more angry, and he was almost angry to death. The people in the entire Chinese army tent felt sorry for the old general, Zhuge Liang sat as if he was fine, the feather fan shook lightly, indifferent.
Lu Su thought to himself: Zhuge Liang, are you hard-hearted? You are a guest, you ask for mercy, can Zhou Lang knock you out of the tent, can he kill you? You just watched our old general being beaten by this beating, and this must not be killed? Why didn't you speak?
Lu Su looked at Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang didn't look up at him. At this time, Zhou Yu's face was pale, his whole body trembled, his teeth were clenched, his brows were tightly locked, and the pheasant tail on his head trembled. In fact, Zhou Yu felt sorry for the old general, and every stick hit Huang Gai and fell on Zhou Yu's heart. After fighting, the people in the tent couldn't stand it anymore and knelt down. Zhou Yu ignored it, and then hit down.
Lu Su immediately lay on Huang Gai's body: "Governor, please show mercy, Lu Su is willing to accept the guilt for the old general." ”
At this time, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "If it weren't for the sake of Lu Su and the generals, how could Huang Gai be forgiven? ”
Zhou Yu's robe sleeves shook and turned into the back account, and when he arrived at the back account, Zhou Yu's tears fell. Although it is said that this is a bitter plan set by Huang Gai and Zhou Yu, but the old general is not easy, he is over the age of six, what if this beating really kills him?
