Chapter 159: The Bitter Meat Ploy That Played Out as Scheduled

There is still a day before the official start of the war. All military orders are being carried out in an orderly manner.

"Report, Prime Minister, there is a person outside the door who calls himself Huang Gai who asks to see him." The herald ran in panting to report.

"Huang Gai? How did he get here? Cao Cao put down the scroll in his hand and raised his head.

"I don't know. Please show me below. The reason why the herald was out of breath was not because of physical exhaustion, but because he was shocked that Huang Gai had come alone, and his name was very loud in the Soochow camp.

"Let him in! Sima Yi and Yang Xiu also came. Cao Cao stood up from his seat and looked straight ahead.

A moment later, Huang Gai, led by the two halberd guards, came to Cao Cao's military tent.

"It is enough for you to stand down and let the public come in." Cao Cao's words came from inside.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Huang Gai was suspicious in his heart, "Did he see through it?" No, it's impossible, only Gong Jin and I know about it. ”

Huang Gai took a deep breath, took a calm and powerful but faintly painful step, and walked in firmly.

entered the account, and there were three people in sight, and the person in the middle was Cao Cao, but who are these two people? Judging by their outfits, they should be staff, but can such a young staff member be reused by Cao Cao? Is it possible that they all have the posture of Kong Ming?

"Public! What are you doing here? You're a staunch anti-Cao! The main battle faction! Cao Cao sat on the chair and said with a smile.

"Sinner Huang Gai, meet the prime minister." Huang Gai's bow is very real. In the midst of this, the freshly scabbed wound on his body burst open again, and the blood quickly stained his underwear.

Rao was like this, Huang Gai did not frown, but maintained his posture, waiting for Cao Cao's speech.

"You get up and talk back. Lone is very interested in your intentions. Cao Cao put away his smile and looked at him with a serious face.

"Prime Minister Xie. What you just said is right, I am indeed a staunch anti-Cao faction, a main battle faction. It is precisely because of this that I attach great importance to this battle of Tianjiang, and I can't wait to do everything myself.

However, there are too many people and things that are hindered by the DPRK and China, and there are even villains who provoke my relationship with Gongjin. For this reason, Gong Jin was furious and blamed me in public.

I can't swallow this breath. As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, my loyalty to Soochow can be learned. Gongjin and I have been friends for many years, can't you still see through it? But even so, he still listened to the slander and rebuked me.

A person's heart cannot be injured, and once it is injured, even if it seems to be safe on the surface, it will leave a hole in the heart that cannot be filled.

Prime Minister, if you don't believe me, you can let the guards in, and I will undress in public, so that you can see the injuries on my body. ”

"Gongfu, you are too underestimated and lonely. Don't call the guards, you undress! Cao Cao made a gesture of please.

When this decision was made, he had already put life and death on the line. If you see through it, you can see through it! Perhaps, his death can sound the alarm for Soochow and let them know the horror of the enemy in front of them.

The outer garment was removed, revealing blood-stained underwear. When the underwear was removed, the skin covered in scars was revealed. Some wounds are about to be bone-deep.

Sima Yi and Yang Xiu couldn't help but feel a pain in their hearts after seeing such an injury. If this were to be replaced by myself, I am afraid that I would not even have the strength to stand on the ground. General Huang Gai is really a tough guy!

"Someone, pass on the military doctor! Bandage the wound for the public. Cao Cao stood up, the expression on his face changing and changing.

"Prime Minister, thank you for your concern. But the wound is still spared! Once you've taken care of your wounds, I won't be able to explain them when I get back. Gong Jin's suspicion is already very big, if he is suspicious again, my old life may have to return to Jiuquan. ”

"That makes sense. Gongfu is a straight person, and Lone will not bend with you. Say what you mean! Cao Cao took a few steps forward, keeping a distance of five steps from Huang Gai.

This distance is not very long, if Huang Gai has bad intentions, as long as he pounces forward, he can knock Cao Cao down.

"Returning to the prime minister, I am willing to return to the Han Court and fight back in the battle of Tianjiang. When I get back, I'll gather my cronies together. When the Battle of Tianjiang breaks out, I will assist the prime minister in my own way and inflict heavy losses on the Eastern Wu army. ”

"Oh? Are you really going to do it? You must know that the three generations of the Sun family are not thin on you! Cao Cao looked directly into Huang Gai's eyes, and his steps were also a step forward.

"I do work for the Sun family, but the Sun family is also a vassal of the Han Dynasty in the final analysis. Before the Eastern Wu did not raise the banner of self-proclaimed emperor, the ultimate object of my allegiance was still the Great Han. ”

"Well said! So what are you going to do then? Do you need to be alone? Cao Cao took another step forward.

"When I am ready, I will lead my cronies to your side, and I will use the red flag as a signal at that time, and when the prime minister receives the signal, please do not attack and send people to respond."

"Good! Lone knows. Publicly, this trip has been hard. Wait for the class teacher to return to the court, and play His Majesty in person, and ask for credit for you. Cao Cao didn't move forward, but put his hands behind his back very casually, looking at Huang Gai with a smile on his face.

"Prime Minister Xie, in order to avoid news leakage, arouse Gongjin's suspicion. I'll go back. Please also remember our agreement. Huang Gai bent down again, this time heavier than before.

"Don't worry! Lonely knows it. Cao Cao didn't stretch out his hand to help, but looked at it condescendingly for a while.

Sending Huang Gai away, Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi and opened his mouth to ask, "What does Zhong Da think about this matter?" ”

"Back to the prime minister, I think there is fraud in it. An old minister like him will definitely not betray his lord and betray the belief he has insisted on all his life because of a fight. ”

"Hmm. Yang Xiu, what do you think? Cao Cao tilted his head and asked the same question.

"Back to the prime minister, Xiu thinks that this is a conspiracy."

"Oh? Tell me your reasoning. Cao Cao turned around and asked Yang Xiu.

"No. First, if Huang Gai is willing to surrender, he should not use the title of "I" when he speaks, but should use the title of subordinate or general.

Second, the wounds on his body should have healed, but in order to convince the prime minister, he would rather let the healed blood scab break again, this scheming has to be said, it is very deep!

Third, his reason is too far-fetched, is he going to submit to the prime minister just because of responsibility? It's also so childish! Old and young, if he is really so childish, then this person Xiu thinks it is better not to do it.

Fourth, he came to surrender, but he felt like he had come to die. All the actions, words and deeds are as stiff as a textbook, and there is no emotion at all. Let's say there is no emotion! In the end, when you promised him, he was the one who really revealed his true feelings at that time.

Fifth, as the general of the Soochow battalion and the chief general, his whereabouts should attract much attention. Now that the war is about to start, both of us are on high alert along the Tianjiang River. It's incomprehensible that he can come to us from that side without knowing it.

To sum up, please also think twice, there must be a conspiracy in this matter. ”

"Hahaha..., Yang Xiu, Zhong Da, the two of you finally thought of going together. You see, the world of one person is lonely, and the world of two people is so interesting.

If the two of you can work together, you will definitely be able to create a fame that is rare through the ages. I'm looking forward to it! ”
