In the Jiangxia camp.

Duan Dahu also summoned the generals to discuss the matter, and in front of him was a topographic map of the Yangtze River. Back then, Jiangxia's Huangzu Navy could be said to be the second in the world in terms of combat power, and the first was of course Soochow.

But this Jiangxia Navy, the second in the world, is naturally also well versed in various methods of water warfare. The generals discussed it and came to a very simple conclusion: the big war must be in Chibi. Because the water surface of Chibi is open, it is suitable for large-scale operations, and the water is gentle, not only Cao Cao's northern soldiers are stable in battle, but also the Jiangxia and Eastern Wu naval armies located in the lower reaches will not have much disadvantage because of the countercurrent.

Duan Dahu said loudly: "The victory or defeat of Chibi is a fire attack, and now there are only two things missing, one is a warship that can be filled with fire oil and sulfur, and the other is the east wind. ”

Liu Bei asked, "Where do these two things come from?"

"The matter of shipbuilding depends on the public loser, and how to build a warship that pierces into the Cao army's chain of warships is the key to the fire attack. As for this east wind, hehe, I'm afraid it's really not something that can be solved simply. Duan Dahu said.

In history, it is said that Zhuge Liang ascended the Seven Stars Altar and borrowed the east wind. But this is obviously not the case, in such an era of martial arts, I have never seen a magic spell with its skill. Moreover, he has been with Zhuge Liang for many days, and he has never seen him use spells.

Now, it can only move forward according to the trajectory of history.

But I always felt that something was wrong. But what's wrong?

Who was the mysterious man in black during the Great War of the Day? Such a powerful force, but I couldn't find such a character in my mind.

"History must have changed somehow, or we are in the midst of a conspiracy. Duan Dahu thought.

He looked at the time of the day, counted the days, and thought that it was time for the bitter meat trick to be staged.

In the Great Tent of Soochow.

Kan Ze hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the old general, Kan Ze is tight-lipped." I don't know why the old general is so old?"

"Derun, Huang Gai received the kindness of the third generation of the Sun family, and he couldn't repay it, so he sacrificed this bitter meat to break Cao Bing. I suffered a little from flesh and skin, but I did not complain. Derun, I have watched the whole camp of civil and military, only you are my most intimate friend, you are a loyal person, so I will tell you the words of my confidant. ”

"Old General Huang, did you ask me to go to Cao Ying to write a letter of fraud for you?"

"Derun, I really have this intention. I can't move and can't go, so I wonder if you can do it for me?"

"Old general, you're out there. You and I are both ministers of Eastern Wu and loyal to the country, so why can't I contribute to the country? As long as the old general can trust me, I am willing to go to Cao Ying to meet Cao Cao. ”

"Derun, you are loyal and commendable. But going to Cao Ying is like breaking into the tiger's den in Longtan, if the secret is leaked, there will be no return. Derun, I hope you will think carefully before making a decision. ”

Huang Gai is not forced Kan Ze. Although Huang Gai suffered this severe beating, the pain was unbearable, but the injuries could always be healed, and there was no danger to his life. But when I crossed the river, I saw Cao Cao to offer a letter of deception, which was knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, and he was biased towards the tiger mountains. Cao Cao's traitorous male is the most suspicious, and he has always used the art of power and deception. If Cao Cao sees through it at a glance, your life will be gone. So Kan Ze is even more difficult than Huang Gai. Huang Gai looked at Kan Ze, and Kan Ze could see his mood.

"Old general, the eldest husband is in heaven and earth, and if he can't make meritorious contributions, he will rot like grass and trees. You are willing to sacrifice your life for Soochow in the year of your sixtieth birthday, how can I not give up my life?"

Huang Gai burst into tears, gritted his teeth and rolled out of bed in pain, kneeling on the ground: "Huang Gai has thanked him." ”

Kan Ze hurriedly helped the old general up and helped him to bed: "Old General Huang, without further ado, I'll do it tonight." ”

"The letter has been written, and Derun cherishes it. ”

Kan Ze took it, said goodbye to Huang Gai, returned to his bedroom, read the book of fraud three times, and had an idea in his heart. Then wearing a hat and a robe, dressed as a fisherman, he quietly drove a small boat and flew to Cao Ying. This matter is confidential, but you have to do a full set of plays, and you can't let the soldiers of Dongwu find out.

That night, the sky was full of cold stars, and the wind blew the waves, lapping the boat. That is, at the time of the third watch, the boat approached the water village of Cao Ying. Since the last time Cao Ying Shuizhai was visited by Zhou Yu, the Cao army has strengthened its vigilance, so when Kan Ze arrived, he immediately surrounded four small boats, and Cao Jun's soldiers patrolling the river were sitting on them.

Kan Ze stood at the bow of the boat, clasping his hands into fists: "Ladies and gentlemen, below is Kan Ze, the staff officer of Jiangdong, who has a confidential matter to ask to see Prime Minister Cao Cheng." ”

Seeing that he came alone in the middle of the night, the soldiers did not dare to slack off, leaving three small boats to watch Kan Ze. A small boat turned around, castrated like an arrow, and went straight to Cao Cao's water camp tent.

After a short time, Cao Cao got a report and ordered Kan Ze to be summoned. There was not much time, and someone brought Kan Ze to Cao Cao's big tent.

Kan Ze walked into the tent and saw brilliant lights and candles everywhere, and Cao Cao was sitting next to a few cases, a tiger skin chair. At the third watch in the middle of the night, Cao Cao was still studying tactics freely, but it also made Kan Ze admire in his heart, and his heart was inevitably a little heavier for the safety of Soochow.

Cao Cao looked Kan Ze up and down, and saw Kan Ze with a medium stature, a strong physique, four faces, and two sword eyebrows, and his eyes shimmered, and the demeanor of Jiangdong celebrities was indeed worthy of his reputation.

Cao Cao put down the scroll in his hand and asked, "Kan Ze, since you are a staff officer in the Eastern Wu Army, what are you doing here?"

Kan Ze raised his head and looked directly at Cao Cao: "Everyone in Jiangdong rumors that Prime Minister Cao Cheng is eager to seek talent, but at first sight today, it is not worthy of the name and exaggerated!" Kan Ze sighed: "Huang Gongfu, you are wrong again, you voted for the lord by mistake!"

Cao Cao was silent on his face, and pointed with his hand: "Now our army is fighting with Dongwu, and the two armies are facing each other, you came here late at night, of course I want to ask you what you mean." ”

Kan Ze's face was fearless: "Prime Minister Cao, I didn't come here late at night for myself, but for the old General Huang Gai. Huang Gai is an old minister of the third emperor of Eastern Wu, and today he confronted Zhou Yu in the big tent of the Chinese army and persuaded Zhou Yu to surrender to the prime minister, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to be angry and wanted to push him out and behead him. The civil and military officials of Jiangdong begged bitterly, and the old general was exempted from the death penalty. Although the capital crime was exempted, Zhou Yu spine the old general with a hundred military sticks. In the year of the old general Huang's sixtieth year, he was beaten all over his body and bruised, and he was very resentful, and he conspired with me to surrender to the prime minister in order to avenge this revenge! I have the best friendship with Huang Gai in Eastern Wu, and we are like father and son, so I came to present the secret letter, I wonder if the prime minister can approve the surrender?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said, "Where is the book?"

Kan Ze took out the letter from his bosom and presented it to him, Cao Cao took it, opened it and looked at it under the lamp, only to see that it was written:

Cover received Sun's favor, and he should not have two hearts. However, in terms of today's situation: with the pawns of the six counties of Jiangdong, when China's millions of divisions, the outnumbered dare not dare, and everyone at home and abroad can see it. The generals of Eastern Wu, no wise and foolish, all know that they can't. Zhou Yu is a boy, who is shallow and conceited, and wants to use eggs to fight stones...... Gai is willing to lead the people to surrender, in order to make a meritorious achievement. Grain and grass army battles, with the ship Indina. Weep blood and worship yourself, don't be suspicious.

Huang Gai's letter is brilliantly written.

It is to the effect that Huang Gai received the kindness of the third generation of the Sun family, first protected Sun Jian, then Sun Ce, and then Sun Quan, and should not have two hearts. It can be said that in terms of the current situation, Zhou Yu vainly tried to use 50,000 soldiers in the six counties of Jiangdong to resist the prime minister's million soldiers, outnumbered, which is really foolish. But Zhou Yu, a yellow-mouthed child, is narrow-minded, shallow and stupid, thinks that the world is invincible, and always wants to hit a stone with an egg; besides, he is arbitrary, thinks he is invincible, does whatever he wants, and the rewards and punishments are unknown. I am a dignified old minister of the third emperor of Eastern Wu, I was beaten by Zhou Yu for no reason, and I was humiliated in front of the public, which is unbearable!

Therefore, Huang Gai was willing to lead his soldiers to surrender to the prime minister and be ashamed of the snow. Later, it was noted: "I am the grain officer of Eastern Wu, and when I surrender, I must bring grain, grass, ordnance, and utensils with the ship, please don't suspect Prime Minister Cao." ”

Cao Cao flipped through the letter and read it more than a dozen times, and suddenly burst out laughing. Suddenly, he slapped the table with his hand and shouted: "Bold Kan Ze! Huang Gai is a bitter trick, you come to offer a letter of fraud, and Zhou Yu can take something from it." Such a child's plan is trying to deceive me?"

"Come on, push Kan Ze out and behead him!" Cao Cao ordered.
