There was a loud sound of boulders crashing on the riverbank.

Sitting in the barracks, Zhou Yu could feel that the earth seemed to tremble.

"Metropolitan Governor, General Huang is here." Zhou Tai pushed the door and walked in and reported to Zhou Yuyu.

Zhou Yu hurriedly got up and instructed him, "Why don't you invite the old general to come in and talk." ”

Zhou Tai retreated, and then led a Jiangdong veteran into the barracks.

The old general's beard was already gray, and he bowed to Zhou Yu and asked, "Dare to ask the Grand Governor, is there something to order to call the last general over?" ”

"How is General Huang doing?" Zhou Yu asked the old general with a smile on his face.

It was none other than Huang Gai, one of the four generals who followed Sun Jian back then.

Looking at Zhou Yu suspiciously, Huang Gai said: "The Metropolitan Governor has something to say, as long as it is for Jiangdong, even if I go up to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will admit it." ”

"The Cao family is attacking Jiangdong, and our army has no water village, so the old general must have heard about it." Zhou Yu said: "Now except for the old general, no one else can save Jiangdong. ”

Saying that, Zhou Yu actually knelt down for Huang Gai with one leg bent.

Zhou Yu, as the governor of the capital, is supreme in honor on weekdays, and as the general of Jiangdong, Huang Gai certainly does not dare to accept his worship.

Huang Gai also hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said to Zhou Yu: "If the Metropolitan Governor has any use for me, just say it clearly, I will definitely go to the soup and the fire." ”

"You don't need the old general to go to the soup, you just have to suffer some grievances." Zhou Yu got up and helped Huang Gai up: "The Cao family is powerful, and our army has no water village, and now it is not their opponent." I thought about it again and again, and the only way was to attack with fire. ”

"Fire attack?" Huang Gai said in surprise: "It's winter now, the wind is coming from the north, how can the Metropolitan Governor attack?" ”

"Winter isn't just about the north wind." Zhou Yu said: "There will be a south wind one day, we just have to wait." It's just that before that, the old general has to be wronged. ”

"Doing things for Jiangdong, how can there be any grievances to say." Huang Gai patted his chest and said, "What does the Metropolitan Governor want me to do?" Just say it. ”

"I thought about it again and again, and the only way to set fire to the Cao family's warship was to send someone closer." Zhou Yu said: "However, Cao Zirong is deceitful, he will never give us a chance to get close." ”

"Since he didn't give him a chance to get closer, how could the Grand Governor set him on fire?" Huang Gai frowned, and also thought of a way to set fire to Cao Jun.

"Old General Huang is highly respected, and even Cao Cao respects you a little." Zhou Yu said: "If the old general is willing to serve the Cao family......"

"What did the Governor say?" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Huang Gai's eyes widened: "Back then, I followed Sun Wentai, and the princes of the Fourteenth Road gathered sour dates to kill Huaxiong, what kind of scenery was it?" I don't have any skills, but I will never turn my back on the Jiangdong Sun family in this life. ”

Huang Gai was annoyed, and Zhou Yu said with a smile: "I mean to ask the old general to surrender." ”

"Surrender?" Huang Gai was stunned for a moment, and said to Zhou Yu: "Cao Mengde also knows that it is impossible for me to turn my back on the Sun family, how can he believe that I am going to surrender?" ”

"The old general rushed forward, of course he didn't believe it." Zhou Yu said: "It is precisely because of this that I said that I would wronged the old general. ”

"What exactly is the Grand Governor's plan?" Huang Gai said: "I'm a rough man, it's okay to let me go to war, let me think about things, it's really not okay." ”

"I'm trying to use a bitter trick." Zhou Yu said: "When the old general goes to serve the Cao family, Cao Cao and Cao Shuo will be suspicious. But if I beat the old general with a stick, they won't suspect it anymore. ”

Huang Gai looked at Zhou Yu in amazement.

It took him a while to come to his senses.

Nodding, Huang Gai said to Zhou Yu: "Most of the Metropolitan Governors have the talent to strategize, and the method they come up with must be feasible." As long as I can protect the Sun family, let alone beat a military stick, even if I cut off my head, I am willing. ”

"Since the old general has agreed, I will convene a court meeting early tomorrow morning." Zhou Yu said: "I will order the army to retreat back for three miles, and the old general only needs to speak against each other when he arrives, and it is best to insult him, and this matter will be done." ”

"How dare I insult the Grand Duke?" Huang Gai waved his hand again and again and said, "This can't be done." ”

"Nothing." Zhou Yu said: "General Sun regards the old general as his brother, and Bo Fu did the same to me at the beginning. You and I have both lived for the Sun family all our lives, and the old general can afford the military stick, why can't I stand a few abuses? ”

Zhou Yu said this, and Huang Gai had to hesitate to respond: "In this way, I will be wronged by the governor." ”

"Like the old general said, for the sake of the Sun family, there is no grievance." Zhou Yu clenched his fists and bowed to Huang Gai: "Jiangdong's survival depends on the old general!" ”

Huang Gai hurriedly returned the salute and said to Zhou Yu: "Rely on the Grand Governor." ”

After Huang Gai left, Zhou Tai walked to Zhou Yu's side: "The Metropolitan Governor really thinks that Cao Zirong will be fooled?" ”

"Why wouldn't he be fooled?" Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.

"Zhuge Kongming's strategy is also exquisite, but he broke it." Zhou Tai said: "I don't think Cao Zirong is a simple person. ”

"I never thought he was simple. It's just that General Huang is a veteran of Jiangdong, and he holds too many secrets of Jiangdong. Zhou Yu said: "Cao Zirong has led the army for many years, and he shouldn't understand what kind of benefit he has to get a figure like General Huang. ”

Zhou Yu is good at planning and follows him all the year round, of course Zhou Tai knows this.

He didn't say anything more, and clasped his fists in response: "That's what the Metropolitan Governor said." ”

Zhou Yu planned to use bitter tricks to lure Cao Shuo into being fooled, and Cao Shuo was sitting on a big rock by the river at this time, looking at the Jiangdong army defense line on the other side.

Boulders were projected, and some of them failed to hit the shore and fell into the water, causing a wave that looked like it had been shot by a cannonball.

And those boulders that hit the shore brought endless troubles to the Jiangdong Army.

The defense line that had been deployed for a long time was like tofu cut by a sharp blade under the attack of Cao Jun's catapults, scattered piece by piece.

"Childe." Xu Shu's voice came from behind him.

Cao Shuo glanced back at him, pointed to the Jiangdong Army defense line that was being bombarded by boulders on the opposite bank and said, "Yuan Zhi, listen, how nice this sound is." ”

"Childe thinks it sounds good, and the people over there in Jiangdong are afraid that they hate it to the core." Xu Shu said: "Our army has been bombarding for days, but Zhou Yu has not moved at all, doesn't Gongzi think it is strange?" ”

"Who is Koto Shuro?" Cao Shuo smiled indifferently: "If he doesn't move, it's really weird." It's just that he does things steadily and strives to break the enemy with one blow. So there has been no response yet. ”

"Break the enemy with one blow, it's still possible to meet others, and I'm afraid he thinks too much when he meets Childe." Xu Shu replied with a slight smile.
