That night, the attendant brought Cao Shuo's reply to Huang Gai.

Getting the news, Huang Gai let out a long sigh of relief.

Night fell quietly, and a figure climbed over the courtyard wall of Huang Gai's house and quietly came to the door of his bedroom.

Gently pushing the door open, the black shadow lowered his voice and asked, "Has Old General Huang fallen asleep?" ”

"Who?" The pain in his buttocks was still drilling, and he was older, so he didn't sleep a lot, and when he heard someone talking, he hurriedly asked.

"It's me, Zhou Tai." The black shadow responded: "The Metropolitan Governor asked me to ask, what's going on over there?" ”

"Cao Zirong has sent back the news." Huang Gai said: "He asked me to choose a date, and Cao's army will attack Jiangdong. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor will ask the old general to inform Cao Zirong when the south wind blows that the matter is exposed, and he must go to Cao's house first." Zhou Tai said: "As for when and what to do, please wait for the news from the old general." ”

"I don't want to wait for news." Huang Gai said: "This military stick is not light. I'm afraid I won't be able to get up for ten days and half a month. ”

"The old general suffered." Zhou Tai said: "The Metropolitan Governor really wants to come to visit in person, but he has no choice but to ......"

"I get it." Huang Gai interrupted him: "There will be people walking around my house after nightfall, the general can't stay here for a long time, please reply to the governor, just say that I am not afraid of death for the sake of Jiangdong, and I can still be afraid of these few military sticks?" ”

"Old General Gao Yi, I'll take my leave first." Zhou Taiying said.

Hearing Zhou Tai's departing footsteps, Huang Gai fell down and slowly closed his eyes.

The pain is unbearable, and it will definitely be better to fall asleep.

But at this moment, where would he feel a little sleepy?

Leaving Huang Gai's house and returning to Zhou Yu's barracks, Zhou Tai went straight to Zhou Yu's barracks.

The room was still lit by an oil lamp.

Gently pushing open the door and walking in, Zhou Tai bowed to Zhou Yu, who was reading: "Governor, I'm back." ”

"Have you seen General Huang?" Putting down the book, Zhou Yu asked.

"See." Zhou Tai responded.

"What did the old general say?" Zhou Yu asked again: "Did he send someone to Cao Zirong's army?" ”

"It's gone, and the news has been sent back." Zhou Tai said: "Cao Zirong asked the old general to choose a day to meet with the outside world in an attempt to break through Jiangdong. ”

"If you want to break through Jiangdong, then let him come." Zhou Yu said: "He will never know that in a few days, it will be his death." ”

Zhou Tai stood aside and didn't say anything, but he was not as optimistic as Zhou Yu.

Since Cao Shuo came to Jiangdong to marry Miss Sun, Zhou Yu and others have not asked for benefits in front of him.

Whether it is Zhou Yu or Liu Bei, they have always been planning Cao Shuo.

But in the end, Cao Shuo not only married Miss Sun, but also found an excuse to attack Jiangdong.

The joy on Zhou Yu's face didn't stay long.

After a moment, he frowned, and his face became solemn.

"Governor, what's wrong?" Realizing that something was not right, Zhou Tai asked him.

"I suddenly remembered something." Zhou Yu said: "Although the old general can find an opportunity to set fire, the Cao family's warships are very scattered, and even if they burn, they will not burn too many ......."

"What do you mean by ......?" Zhou Tai asked.

"Gotta find a way to connect them." Zhou Yu asked, "Who do you think can do it?" ”

"I think I should send someone who can speak well." Zhou Tai asked, "I don't know what happened to Zhuge Jin?" ”

"Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Kongming's elder brother, and he invested in Jiangdong in his early years." Zhou Yu said: "It's appropriate for him to go." ”

"You go and invite Zhuge Jin." Zhou Yu instructed Zhou Tai.

"Now?" Zhou Tai said: "It's getting late now, is the governor ......?"

"Jiangdong is in danger, who can take care of the morning and the evening?" Zhou Yu said: "You just go and invite him, if he has already fallen asleep, you have to drag him here to see me." ”

"I see." Zhou Tai responded.

After he left, Zhou Yu walked to the window.

Looking at the starry sky outside the window, his face was very solemn.

The Cao army on the other side of the river is hundreds of thousands, while Jiangdong can allocate only 60,000 soldiers and horses.

With 60,000 against hundreds of thousands, if there is no miracle, Jiangdong will be finished......

Standing by the window, he was sighing in his heart, Zhou Yu didn't notice that Zhou Tai had come with Zhuge Jin.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Zhou Yu had no intention of turning back, Zhou Tai said, "Childe, I invited Ziyu." ”

Hearing Zhou Tai speak, Zhou Yu suddenly woke up.

He turned his head and arched his hand to Zhuge Jin, who was standing not far behind him: "It is really a last resort to invite Brother Ziyu to come late at night, and I ask Brother Ziyu to forgive me." ”

"The Metropolitan doesn't have to be like that." Zhuge Jin said: "Now that Jiangdong is alive and dead, most of the governors see the move, there must be something important to order, how dare I not come." ”

"It's good that Brother Ziyu understands." Zhou Yu said, "Please sit down and speak." ”

After taking a seat, Zhou Yu said to Zhuge Jin: "Brother Ziyu, I have thought of a way to break the enemy, but I lack an introduction, I don't know if I can help me do it." ”

"What introduction?" Zhuge Jin asked.

"The Cao family has countless warships, and once the two armies fight, our army will definitely not get much benefit." Zhou Yu said: "If you want to break the Cao army and break the warship first, I want to ask Brother Ziyu to come up with an idea, how can I make the Cao family's warships not separate from each other?" ”

"Attach the ships with chains." Zhuge Jin said: "In this way, the Cao family's warships can no longer be separated. ”

"But who can go to the north shore and let Cao Zirong connect the warships together?" Looking at Zhuge Jin, Zhou Yu asked.

Zhuge Jin was stunned.

Of course, he understood that Zhou Yu meant to let him go.

But he was also an official in Jiangdong, and he went to persuade Cao Shuo to connect the warships together, I am afraid that Cao Shuo not only would not listen, but even cut off his head.

"Brother Ziyu!" Zhuge Jin was still stunned, and Zhou Yu greeted him again.

Stunned for a moment, Zhuge Jin said: "I was going to go, but Cao Zirong couldn't listen to my advice......

"Listen to him or not, say it or not, Brother Ziyu." Zhou Yu said: "As for what to say, I don't need to discuss it with Brother Ziyu. ”

"Does the Governor really want me to go?" Zhuge Jin asked.

"Except for Brother Ziyu, I really can't think of a more suitable person." Zhou Yu got up and bowed to Zhuge Jin: "Please ask Brother Ziyu for this matter." ”

"It's definitely not appropriate for me to go directly." Zhuge Jin said: "But I have a brother, and now he hasn't come out yet, he should be able to ......."

"I'm just leaving the matter to Brother Ziyu, as for how to do it, I don't care." Zhou Yu said: "I first congratulate Brother Ziyu on success. ”

Zhuge Jin stood up and responded: "Cao Zirong is treacherous, even if I let my brother go, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to succeed." If it doesn't work, please don't blame the Metropolitan Governor. ”
