After Cao Cao returned to the city, his face was gloomy and almost dripping, and all the generals did not dare to speak loudly. Fortunately, the military doctor came to report: Xiahou Yuan's life was fine, but he had broken three ribs, and his internal organs had internal injuries and needed to recuperate for at least three months to heal.

Cao Cao nodded after hearing this, and asked the military doctor to take care of Xiahou Yuan, and he must be completely cured. The medic hurriedly agreed, and then bowed and exited the lobby.

At this time, Cao Cao looked at the people in the hall: "You all tell me how to fight this battle?" ”

Cao Cao asked, and everyone in the hall was silent. Cao Cao was annoyed when he saw that everyone didn't speak, and then he turned his head and saw Sima Yi. So Cao Cao asked, "Zhongda, do you have a plan?" ”

After Sima Yi personally poisoned Liu Biao to death, he has been low-key a lot recently, and he has already made great contributions, and he doesn't want to fight for merit anymore. Second, the current situation was greatly unexpected by him, Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang fled, and Sun Quan's strong attack was like an invisible hand manipulating behind all this. This feeling of being played in the palm of his hand made Sima Yi very jealous. Therefore, before he figured out the situation, he planned to endure for a while.

But Cao Cao spoke, and Sima Yi didn't dare not reply. So he got up and said, "Lord, I have a plan, but I still need to make a decision." ”

Cao Cao said when he heard this: "You just have to say it!" ”

Sima Yi opened his mouth and said: "Today's fighting general Sun Quan won a small game, and I expected that the defense of his battalion would be lax tonight, so I suggested that the lord order someone to attack the camp." ”

"Oh!" Cao Cao was a little disappointed when he heard this, the plan to attack the camp was not a miracle plan, if the other party was prepared, it would most likely fail. Sima Yi saw that Cao Cao was a little disappointed, so he added: "My lord, I am not as simple as attacking the camp. Instead, he hoped that the lord could send his elite troops, and the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry among them would all go to fight for a decisive battle. ”

"Huh? Tell me more! When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately became interested and urged Sima Yi to continue. Sima Yi continued to speak: "Sun Quan and his attention to the navy, so most of the troops are on the navy. Therefore, the combat strength of the army is extremely average, and Zhou Yu, the chief strategist under Sun Quan, did not follow him because he wanted to lead the naval army. So it gave our army a chance, and it could be decided in a battle. ”

Sima Yi's words gave Cao Cao a lot of inspiration, and Cao Cao touched his chin, and the battle between heaven and man was constantly in his mind. In the end, he still couldn't resist the temptation, and decided to adopt Sima Yi's policy, so he attacked this night and directly captured Sun Quan on the spot! In this way, the army on the opposite side was defeated without a fight, and the land of Jingzhou and even Jiangnan were also claimed by themselves.

The powerful temptation made Cao Cao's heart move. Thinking about it and finally putting his heart sideways, Cao Cao looked at the people in the tent: "I decided to use Zhongda's plan to set foot in Sun Quan's camp tonight." Now I'll assign the task, Xu Huang......

After Cao Cao finished assigning, he ordered everyone to seize the time to rest. Recharge your batteries for the battle at night.

Let's not mention how Cao Cao planned for the time being, and besides, Sun Quan won't let go of Huang Zhong's hand after returning to the camp. Then he immediately ordered someone to hold a banquet for Huang Zhong to catch the wind, and at this moment Sun Quan's confidence increased greatly. He finally has a fierce man under his command, and if Huang Zhong uses it properly, he will no longer be afraid to fight Cao Cao and Liu Bei on the road.

The banquet was eaten directly until the evening, and as for Chen Wu, who was killed by Xiahou Yuan, no one mentioned it from beginning to end. Pang Tong watched coldly, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a person who walks to tea, but today Cao Cao suffered a big loss, and it is estimated that it will not be good, but I don't know what measures he will take next." ”

Seeing Sun Quan sitting on the main seat drinking and talking and laughing, he didn't seem to take Cao Cao's army close at all to heart. Pang Tong, who had no reason, felt as if something was going to happen.

Turning his head and seeing the veteran Huang Gai drinking alone, Pang Tong came over and said, "General Huang is invited." ”

Huang Gai looked at Pang Tong and nodded slightly, even if he had said hello. At this time, Pang Tong seemed to be talking to himself: "Today, our army's small victory is celebrated like this, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, all the generals have drunk too much today or what should the Cao army do if they attack the camp at night?" ”

Huang Gai really stopped his wine glass, he turned his head and looked at Pang Tong carefully, and said, "Do you really think that Cao Jun will attack the camp tonight?" ”

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee it, but it's really possible!" ”

Huang Gai frowned when he heard this: "I'm going to suggest to the lord that I should be more defensive at night!" After that, he got up and ran towards the throne where Sun Quan was.

Sun Quan is on the rise, and he doesn't want Huang Gai to come. This Huang Gai is one of the three great ministers left by Sun Jian. On weekdays, he relied on the old man to teach Sun Quan a lesson, but Sun Quan also knew that this person was all dedicated to the public, although he was unhappy, he could listen to him patiently.

Seeing him come over suddenly, Sun Quan couldn't help frowning. At this time, Huang Gai came to the front and saluted: "Lord, although we won a game this time, but Cao Jun is still eyeing outside, and tonight I will ask the lord to send more men and horses and generals to guard the camp." ”

After hearing this, Sun Quan said impatiently: "After the victory of our army, the morale has been greatly boosted, how can the Cao army dare to touch my tiger beard after the new defeat, old general, you are too worried!" ”

"But, my lord, ......"

"I said no! If the old general is not strong enough to drink, go back to rest! Sun Quan said directly. The corners of Huang Gai's mouth twitched, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything more, he gave Sun Quan a salute and turned around to leave the big tent.

Huang Zhongxin couldn't bear it, and was about to get up and say something. How do you know that Sun Quan invited him to drink wine and said: "Come on, old general, you and I will have another drink!" Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and picked up the wine glass and drank it with Sun Quan.

At this time, Huang Gai sighed and walked out of the big tent step by step. When he came to the tent, he was blown by the cold wind, and Huang Gai was refreshed. He beckoned his own soldiers and took them to inspect the camp himself.

Time passed little by little, and it seemed that it was almost midnight. Sun Quan was drunk at the end, and was carried back to the sleeping tent by the chamberlain, and the banquet was automatically dissolved. Out of the big tent, Pang Tong raised his head and looked at the sky, and the dark clouds covered the moon and saw no light. At this time, he woke up in shock: "It's been a dark night of murder, maybe something will really happen tonight." ”

The speaker has no intention of listening, and Huang Zhong is not far from him. Hearing Pang Tong muttering, he wrote it down, and when he returned to his bedroom, Huang Zhong tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, always feeling that Pang Tong's words seemed to mean something. As he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of killing coming from outside the tent.
