Chapter 420 Zhuge Liang Completes the Agreement
As a counselor, what Xun Yu said is extremely comprehensive and in line with reality: to provide Cao Cao with an all-round view and cognition as much as possible. Through the analysis of Xun Yu and Jia Xu, Cao Cao himself also feels that accepting Huang Gai's sincerity, even if Huang Gai is a fraudulent surrender, there is not much damage to Cao Jun. At that time, a super general will be sent to monitor Huang Gai at any time. What else can Huang Gai do?
Jia Xu also interrupted at this time, "King of Wei, no matter what intention Huang Gai has, we can accept his sincerity!" At this time, Huang Gai himself has been demoted from a general of the first army to a quartermaster. If he follows Huang Gai's wish, he will bring a large amount of military resources of the Jiangdong Army to our camp. In this way, it will greatly weaken the combat ability of the Jiangdong Army... It will make Sun and Liu's allied army lose without fighting..."
After listening to the comprehensive and in-depth analysis of Jia Xu and Xun Yu, Cao Cao expressed his willingness to accept Huang Gai's sincerity. After that, Cao Cao informed the detailed discussion with Huang Gai about the specific time, method and other specific matters.
Accept Huang Gai's sincerity and say from all aspects: the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. So Cao Cao finally accepted Huang Gai's sincerity.
Let's talk about the bet between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang: within three days, Zhuge Liang will raise 100,000 arrows and 200,000 to 40 catties of stones. On the first day, the wind passed calmly, and the next day, it passed indifferently... Observe Zhuge Liang's scouts and tell Zhou Yu the news of these two days truthfully.
Zhou Yu began to think that Zhuge Liang would use his Taoist skills and complete the agreed tasks. But two days later, Zhuge Liang did not build a magic platform, but walked in the camp in the morning and ran to the nearby top of the mountain during the day to drink wine.
Zhou Yu doesn't know: Although Zhuge Liang's Taoism is unfathomable, he can't cast spells to obtain a huge amount of military materials from the Cao's camp, because the barracks has evil spirit, which can naturally resist the magic of the door. Just like, at this time, Zhuge Liang has the magic skill of "flying swords thousands of miles to take people's heads", but the flying sword he sacrifices can't break through the evil spirit of the barracks.
Zhuge Liang was safe for two days in a row, which made Zhou Yu a little embarrassed: If Zhuge Liang did not complete the agreed task, could he really punish him according to the military law? If it is to defeat Cao Cao, it is possible; at this time, he can only regard the capital punishment as a favor, so as to let Zhuge Liang go... However, according to Zhou Yu's physical feeling, Zhuge Liang is not such a person! If the contract is broken in good faith, Zhuge Liang will not promise in advance. Zhou Yu doesn't understand what kind of medicine is sold in Zhuge Liang's gourd!
On the third day, Zhuge Liang finally took action. Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to prepare ten small warships and a medium-sized warship. According to Zhuge Liang's intention, these warships dismantled various attack and defense facilities on the ship, and then installed scarecrows of different sizes.
At this time, Zhou Yu was observing the enemy on the towering watchtower. He was surprised to see the busy Allied soldiers under his feet: What did Zhuge Liang do with these warships? Are these warships loaded with 100,000 arrows and 200,000 stones? Even four large building ships may not be able to hold 100,000 arrows and 200,000 stones! Those military materials can definitely sink these big and small warships...
In the evening of this day, the fog between heaven and earth filled and gradually became thicker. When the night completely swallowed up the world, Zhuge Liang boarded the medium-sized warship under the protection of Guan Yu. Subsequently, ten small warships surrounded the medium-sized warships and went straight to Cao's camp.
A moment later, there was a dense roar of drums, arrows and stones breaking through the air from Cao Jun's camp. The sound was so loud that Zhou Yu, who was in the military camp, could hear it clearly. Towards midnight, Zhuge Liang's fleet returned safely. As the main general of the coalition, Zhou Yu naturally greeted him on the shore. Zhuge Liang said to Zhou Yu with a tired expression, "Zhou Dudu, tomorrow morning, please come to our camp to collect the agreed military supplies... Zhou Dudu, Liang is a little tired and will leave for the time being!"
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he went away under the escort of Guan Yu. At this time, Zhou Yu finally understood that Zhuge Liang used a straw boat to complete the agreed task with magical and strange Taoist skills in the days of thick fog... In this way, it seems that Zhuge Liang's grasp of weather changes has reached an incredible state. If such an ally becomes an opponent in the future, can Jiangdong cope with it?
When Zhou Yu thought of this, his heart suddenly fluctuated.
The next morning, Zhou Yu sent people to Liu Bei's camp to collect the agreed military materials. After careful inventory, the arrows and stones completely matched the agreed number. In this way, Zhou Yu could not punish Zhuge Liang according to the military law.
When the agreement between Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu reached Tai Shici's ears, Tai Shi Cizhi felt that Zhuge Liang's Taoist skills were unfathomable. It was estimated that the Taoist master Lin Fan was nothing more than that. After Guo Jia and Bo, who were in front of Tai Shici, heard about this, both of them laughed secretly.
Tai Shici looked at the two of them puzzledly: What's so ridiculous about this? Why didn't he see the laughing point? ......
Guo Jia looked at Tai Shi Ci, who was puzzled, and said with a smile, "Ha ha, Tai Shi, haven't you smelled that there is a gap between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang from this incident? If it's a good guess for my brother, at this time in Zhou Gongjin's heart: Zhuge Liang is more terrible than Cao Cao... This is not to say that Zhou Gongjin is jealous of virtuousness, but a change in this mentality caused by Zhou Gongjin's loyalty to Jiangdong Sun Group..."
When Tai Shici heard Guo Jia's explanation, his eyes suddenly lit up. While he was digesting the nutrition of Guo Jia's words, he suddenly felt that a stranger had broken into the courtyard. This stranger must be so powerful that he can avoid the surveillance of the secret whistle of the mansion...
"Brother Feng Xiao, Brother Bo Cai, an outsider broke into the hospital..." Tai Shici whispered to the two of them. Then, he flashed out of the hall, like fallen leaves falling on the blue stone. At this time, a stranger wrapped in black also appeared in front of Tai Shici. When the man in black was about to talk to Tai Shici, a cold arrow suddenly appeared out of thin air and shot through the throat of the man in black. Then, under the gaze of Tai Shici, the man in black turned into a ball of pus in an instant, and a fishy smell permeated the courtyard.
At the same time, Tai Shici has locked the location of the killer who shot the man in black. When he rushed to the hidden position of the killer, he only saw the same smelly pool of pus. Guo Jia and Bo Cai arrived later. Under the protection of Yan Yun's bodyguards, they carefully observed the second pool of pus. Finally, Bo Cai said, "Tai Shi, Feng Xiao, I'm afraid these two are Japanese ninjas..."
After all, Liu Yan, Bo Cai's wife, is a master of the Moyin Sect of Japan. When she gets along with each other day and night, Bo Cai has a deep understanding of Japan.
"Why did they appear in Taishi's mansion? ...Why do they kill each other?" Guo Jia asked puzzledly.
Bo Cai thought for a while and replied slowly, "These two Japanese ninjas are definitely not here to assassinate Taishi. With their cultivation, if they want to assassinate Taishi, it's just death... Maybe the ninja who was shot came to send information to Taishi, and the ninja who committed suicide is the ninja who stopped sending information..."
Under the prompt of Bo Cai, Guo Jia suddenly became enlightened. He said thoughtfully, "Well, what Bo Cai said is reasonable! Recently, a series of assassinations in the rear of Jiangdong were indeed done by Japanese ninjas... At this time, with the relationship between the senior officials of Japan and Taishi, the ninja shot in front of us is probably to explain the truth to Taishi, and the ninja acting as a killer must come from another force... ".
Tai Shici listened to the analysis of the two, and the focus of his thinking also focused on the things in front of him. He nodded to the two and said softly, "The two brothers are right. Based on the relationship between the general and the senior management of our country, why didn't the senior officials of Japan greet the general in advance about the assassination and looting of Japanese ninjas in Jiangdong? ..."
"Tai Shi, don't worry about this matter. You will let your sister-in-law question the high-level officials of Japan..." Bo Cai said to Tai Shi with a smile.
When Tai Shici heard the words, he nodded silently. Just as Taishici wanted to greet Guo Jia and Bocai to enter the room, a bodyguard hurried to Taishici. After he handed over a secret letter to Taishici, he turned around and left.
Tai Shici opened the secret letter in front of Guo Jia and Bo Cai. After reading the secret letter at a glance, his face suddenly changed greatly. Seeing this, Guo Jia took the secret letter from Tai Shici's hand. Bo Cai also looked at the letter. After reading the superstition, their faces changed greatly, but a trace of joy flowed from their eyes. The secret letter said: After Sun Quan left Jiankang City and went to Fuchun County, Sun Quan's teacher Zhuge Jin was also blocked by killers in Health City. Although Zhuge Jin has not been killed, he is still in a coma...
After reading the secret letter, Tai Shici was just worried about Sun Quan's safety: the successive assassinations were related to the people around Sun Quan. Now, can Sun Quan leave Jiankang City without danger?
However, Guo Jia and Bo Cai's ideas were different. They unanimously thought that Jiangdong Group had not defeated Cao Cao, or forced Cao Cao, and was also destroyed by the internal power struggle... A series of assassinations in the Jiangdong boundary, and people with clear eyes can understand at a glance: these are all externalizations of the internal struggles of the Sun Group!
The two of them believe that Tai Shici's chance to stand out is becoming more and more clear. Tai Shici doesn't want to be a hegemon, and they still want to be the founder of the country...
At this time, Tai Shici wanted to go to Fuchun County to protect Sun Quan's safety in person, but the enemy's close vicinity made him unable to leave the front position. In this way, Tai Shici inevitably became anxious. In response to Tai Shici's anxiety, Guo Jia and Bo can only comfort them with good words. Of course, this kind of comfort is just scratching through the boots.
Three days later, Liu Yan and Ma Yunqi appeared in front of Tai Shici, Bo Cai and others. The family gathering is naturally a great surprise. Of course, Liu Yan also brings an important message to Taishici: the series of assassinations in the Jiangdong Group are indeed related to the ninjas of Japan, but this group of ninjas have not much to do with Japan. They are just from Japan. Their real identity is: it's just the confidants cultivated by Fangshi Xu Fu himself. Xu Fu fell down. This group of people were unwilling to lose their previous scenery, so they left Japan together. This group of people sneaked into the Jiangdong boundary led by the dog waist sculpture. They formed an alliance with the senior management of the Sun Group... According to the instructions of the senior management of the Sun Group, they did whatever they wanted in the Jiangdong boundary and did a lot of ferocious events!
