Summary of the previous chapter: Because of the protection of Ma Xiaoquan, Zhou Yu, who fought bravely to kill the enemy, did not receive any injuries, on the other hand, Cao Jun's side has irreversibly shown a trend of decline, Cao Cao had no choice but to Mingjin to withdraw his troops, retreat to Wulin to temporarily rest Zhou Yu's side immediately sent Huang Gai

++++++++++++++++++++++ Huang Gai had used the fire attack strategy many times before leaving, which Zhou Yu also understood very well. However, as Zhou Yu was worried about, it was impossible for Huang Gai to send a lot of ships to fake the landing, otherwise he would be suspected by Cao Cao, and even if Cao Cao did not suspect it, there was no way to cause large-scale destruction if he lit a fire ship and rushed into Cao's array.

unless

Looking at the shadow of the boat that Huang Gai was gradually moving away, Zhou Yu once again expressed his hidden worries to Ma Xiaoquan.

"Hehe" Ma Xiaoquan patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, "Gong Jin is wondering when the southeast wind will come?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "Yes, Lord Shangxian, you also feel it, now the north wind blowing on the river, if this north wind continues, our army"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Won't the north wind suddenly turn into the southeast wind?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "Lord Shangxian, our army has been stationed in Jiangdong for many years, and there are certain rules for what wind blows in the Yangtze River every winter, and how the wind blows, for example, now, it is winter, and it stands to reason that the north wind should blow, and it is indeed blowing the north wind now, and this north wind will last for several days as soon as it blows, according to this analysis, suddenly change to the southeast wind, how can you think it is impossible?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "It is because it is impossible, and it is against the sky, so this immortal did it a few days ago, of course, you must know that for your southeast wind, this immortal has offended God, and then this immortal can only watch and can't help you, Gongjin, you have to do it yourself, understand?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Lord Shangxian means that this southeast wind will definitely blow?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said, "When the time comes, you'll see!" ”

Zhou Yu sighed, although he was still playing the drum in his heart, but seeing that Ma Xiaoquan was silent in thought, he had to give up for the time being

Huang Gai sent another letter of surrender to Cao Cao, which was earnest and also stated the "true" situation of the coalition forces at present.

Huang Gai's letter said: Nian Ming Gong (referring to Cao Cao) love, Sun Quan Zhou Yu is tyrannical and hegemonic, I (referring to Huang Gai himself) have no chance to display their talents here Although I am old, but since I started with Sun Jian, I have been working for the Sun family, but I didn't expect that after Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan took over, not only did not pay attention to it, but also sent me to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu's child also beat me, and I beat my skin open, but I am very jealous of Ming Gong You also saw it, although in the battle of Chibi, Ming Gong suffered a slight loss, But Ming Gong should also be very clear, Chibi I Huang old man did not participate in the battle at all, this is one of my sincerity, although Sun Quan and Liu Bei are coalition forces, but in fact, they look like each other, both of them are playing their own ideas, although the Chibi battle has a slight advantage, but it has not just ended, the two families have begun to argue about infighting, such an army, I really can't stay so, I implore Ming Gong to accept the surrender of my Huang old man, although I am older, but I am also a general of the navy, I am willing to help Ming Gong rectify the navy, Set foot in Koto

Cao Cao read the letter and was very happy.

"I'll just say, there must be a reason why this coalition can win against me, oh~~ It's been a long time, and Sun Quan Zhou Yu and Liu Da'er also have infighting, haha"

Cao Cao smiled and handed the bamboo slip letter to Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu took it and read it, and said worriedly: "Lord, what if Huang Gai surrenders?" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and said: "It's not impossible, pass on my order, everyone should be more vigilant, when Huang Gai comes to surrender, you must see him first!" ”

Cheng Yu said again: "Lord, what if Huang Gai attacks with fire?" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "It's winter now, and the north wind is blowing on the river, if Zhou Yu'er wants to win me, unless the sky suddenly changes to the southeast wind, hum~~"

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Lord, have you forgotten that Lord Shangxian is still there in the coalition army?" ”

Cao Cao pouted and said: "I didn't see the battle of Chibi, according to my Tanmalai report, the demon Dao is still in Chaisang and Sun Quan's little hair, who has purple hair, how can there be spare time to care about these to blow this southeast wind, unless the demon Dao is there in person."

"My lord, Lord Shangxian once wrote a letter to you, the letter said that you should be very cautious, in the opinion of your subordinates, Lord Shangxian must have a purpose in saying this, and I hope that Lord Shangxian will think twice!"

Cheng Yu didn't say that the letter was okay, but when he said that Cao Cao was on fire: "What bullshit believe it or not, what can that demon dog spit out of his mouth?" Zhongde, I know what that demon road means, he is just jealous of me, hum, I want to take Jiangdong this time, and then insult that demon dao, hum! ”

Seeing that the lord was so resolute, Cheng Yu had no choice but to shake his head slightly and slowly retreat

The number of ships that Huang Gai set off to "descend Cao" was not large, but each ship was loaded with firewood and grass soaked in grease, and in order to hide people's eyes, Huang Gai made an illusion on the firewood and grass, which seemed to be just a ship containing fresh water.

When they approached the Cao army's big array, there were indeed Cao Jun's ships coming forward to investigate.

Huang Gai jumped on the Cao Jun warship with a big grin to undergo a full body inspection, and the soldiers on the other ships also obediently handed over their personal weapons.

When the soldiers of Cao Jun saw Huang Gai so cooperative, their hearts, which were still a little tense, suddenly relaxed a lot.

How could this slightest change be concealed from the cunning old man Huang, who saw Huang Gai uncover a piece of boat cloth like a trick, and under the boat cloth was a hill piled up with copper ingots.

The soldiers of Cao Jun's eyes widened for a moment.

A general who was led by the inspector Cao picked up a piece of copper ingot, put it in his hand and weighed it a few times, and said happily: "General Huang, who are these copper ingots for?" ”

Huang Gai said: "Don't hide it from the general, these are all filial piety to the prime minister, of course, this boat, if the general likes it, you can take it down and drink with the brothers." ”

When Cao Jiang heard this, his ears moved slightly, and at this time, a dogleg beside him stepped forward in time and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Well, there is a problem with your ship of copper ingots, just leave the copper ingots, this ship, you go away."

Huang Gai pretended to be nervous: "There's a problem, oops, then only this boat can be left, hey!" ”

After Huang Gai finished speaking, he beckoned, and immediately a few Wu soldiers came up and obediently "cooperated" with Cao Jun to move the boat of copper ingots

General Cao, who received the money, changed his stern expression just now, and said amiably: "General Huang has worked hard, please drive the boat inside, General Xu Huang is waiting for you." ”

Huang Gai said politely: "Oh, thank you, general, then the old man will go!" ”

"Well, okay! General Huang, please go slowly! ”

As soon as the checkpoint was passed, Huang Gai unhurriedly ordered the fleet to continue to move forward.

At this moment, not far from the rear, Zhou Yu had quietly appeared with the warfleet.

Since there were no torches, nothing could be seen on the river without moonlight.

On the deck of the ship, Zhou Yu was pacing anxiously.

It's ready to fly, but the southeast wind hasn't come yet.

Huang Gai seemed to have already entered the city, and as long as he saw something strange next, his large army would definitely rush up as soon as possible.

"Southeast wind, southeast wind, southeast wind, southeast wind" Zhou Yu kept chattering, looking at Ma Xiaoquan behind him while chattering.

Although it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, Zhou Yu could feel that Lord Shangxian was behind him.

Finally, Zhou Yu couldn't help it: "Lord Shangxian, you should say something certain, if this southeast wind doesn't come again, it will be too late."

In the dark, Ma Xiaoquan's voice sounded faintly: "What's the hurry, if the immortal says that there is, there must be, wait!" ”

Although Ma Xiaoquan said this, he was also very bottomless in his heart, and wanted to ask the source, but the guy didn't pay attention to himself after jumping out and back, Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to clench his fists silently

Seeing that he was about to approach the main fleet of the Cao Army, Huang Gai's heart trembled involuntarily.

Previously, the Grand Governor and the Immortal Lord had said that as long as they lit the fire, the task would be completed. But when people are on the battlefield, they must want to make more meritorious contributions.

Huang Gai also asked Ma Xiaoquan and asked about the southeast wind, Huang Gai thought: If it can really blow the southeast wind as Lord Shangxian said, then Cao Cao's thousands of ships will not want to withdraw completely today.

Thinking about it, as it gets closer and closer, Huang Gai's heart is becoming more and more bottomless.

The southeast wind still didn't come, but seeing the Cao military fleet in front of him, Huang Gai didn't hesitate at all, and shouted loudly: "Ignition!" ”

As soon as the order sounded, the expressions of the soldiers of the Wu Army, who were still pretending, immediately became stern and abnormal.

I saw that the soldiers on each ship skillfully tore open the hatch with their hands, revealing the firewood and grass soaked in grease, and then the soldiers threw the torches at the firewood and grass in unison.

The sound of "whirring" continued to sound, and with the burning of firewood and grass, the entire ship also burned.

Xu Huang stood at the front desk, his task was to welcome Huang Gai's surrender, seeing that the other party was about to arrive, he also said hello to himself, why did he suddenly set the boat on fire?

"That's not right!" Xu Huang reacted instantly, and immediately raised the big axe and shouted: "The whole army is reorganized, fight and fight!" Quick, spread the fleet out at once"

Although Xu Huang made a correct judgment, he forgot one thing, that is, all the warships of the Wulin Department were connected by the lord's order with iron chains.

With a "boom", a Meng Chong hit Cao Jun's ship heavily, and the vigorous firewood jumped onto Cao's ship like a cheerful elf, and soon, this Cao Jun's ship was ignited.
