Chapter 423 Huang Gai fraudulently surrendered and burned Cao Ying

In a word, Sun Liu's allied forces are facing the dilemma of life and death, and Cao Cao, who brought the crisis of Sun and Liu's allied forces, also has his own difficulties, but in the final analysis, his dilemma was brought to him by Emperor Zi Xian today. Of course, only a few people in the world know about Cao Cao's crisis. For example, Guo Jia knows Cao Cao's plight at this time, because Guo Jia has a good understanding of Cao Cao Cao's development trend. At the beginning, when he was by Cao Cao's side, he saw a clue: Cao Cao must not avoid two contradictions in the future: one is the infighting from his children for inheritance rights, but from the pressure from today's Zixian Emperor to demand power. .

For example, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang's awareness of the situation in the world can be said to be as familiar with his own body. Therefore, Zhuge Liang can also see the two problems faced by Cao Cao. For example, Tai Shici, Tai Shici did not infer the dilemma faced by Cao Cao from limited information. He directly knew the two major problems faced by Cao Cao based on intelligence. After all, the Ma Gang and Dart Bureau controlled by Tai Shici are all over China, and of course, they also include Liangzhou, which is vast and sparsely populated. Ma Chao, the general of Shenweitian, gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses on the border of Liangzhou. This secret news quickly reached Tai Shici's ears. Therefore, Taishici knew one of Cao Cao's troubles: Ma Chao raised troops to attack Chang'an City, coercion Luoyang City, and tried to rescue his father Ma Teng...

Taishi Ci, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others all know that Cao Cao will take the initiative to withdraw sooner or later, but none of them explained this situation to the head of Sun Liu's coalition. Taishi Ci's side was afraid of exposing his secret forces, and Zhuge Liang did not take the initiative to explain this situation because he wanted to use a battle to make his reputation and reach the world! If he explains to Zhou Yu and Liu Bei that Cao Cao will take the initiative to withdraw his troops sooner or later, we just need to guard against it! ... The second army is against each other. There is no battle of swords and shadows. There is no victory or defeat. There is only a stalemate. How can he be famous in the shortest time?

Therefore, when Zhuge Liang knew that Jiang Gan, a famous Jianghuai scholar, came to the Jiangdong Sun Liu coalition camp from Cao's camp. When he visited Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang instantly planned a series of plans such as "bitter meat tricks", "alerring tricks" and "fraudulent plans". Of course, the role he chose was veteran Huang Gai. Only Huang Gai is the best candidate. Because Jiangdong general Zhou Tai is too reckless, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the generals under Liu Bei, are not qualified to lose their temper in front of Zhou Yu. Even if they are angry, they are not strong enough. Huang Gai is different. He can be said to be one of the few generals who follow the three generations of leaders of Jiangdong. If he wants to defect to Cao Cao, the impact is so great that ordinary people can't achieve.

After Huang Gai accepted Zhuge Liang's plan, he participated in the welcome banquet held by Zhou Yu for Jiang Gan. In Huang Gai's realistic performance, Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan were calculated... Of course, when Zhou Yu punished Huang Gai, he suddenly realized that this was the prelude for Huang Gai to act as a fraudulent general. From this, Zhou Yu knew that Huang Gai must have been instructed by a master. Who is this master? Of course, it was Wolong Zhuge Liang... Finally, in the middle of the night, when Zhou Yu pretended to be drunk, he met the man in black dressed as Guan Yu... Finally, the traceless "separation plan" was staged in front of Jiang Gan...

And tonight, Huang Gai will lead nearly a thousand soldiers to control more than 20 ships and defect to Cao Cao on the other side. When night fell, the weak northwest wind gradually became stronger, and the thick fog between heaven and earth was blown away.

As the midnight approached, Huang Gai, who was in charge of patrolling tonight, led more than a thousand soldiers to control more than 20 ships to leave the dock of the camp and go straight to the center of the river. Because the thick fog dissipated, even in the late night when the clouds are covered with dark clouds, the visibility is much better than during the day. With the eyesight of the yellow cover, you can see at least a distance of 100 meters away, and in the foggy day, the yellow cover can only see the scenery of ten meters.

Due to the headwind, more than 20 ships are marching, and the sound of water skiing of the oars is extremely loud. In the yellow cover of the bow of the medium-sized warship, listening to the loud sound of water skiing, he tried his best to maintain a calm state of mind, and his eyes were bright and paying attention to the Cao army fleet more than 2,000 meters away.

The Cao Jun camp on the other side seems to be celebrating a grand festival: the lights near the Zhongjun building ship are more bright than usual, and the sound of silk bamboo and noise clearly spread to Huang Gai's ears with the wind. Since the confrontation between the two armies across the river, the Cao army camp has been extremely lively at night, while the Jiangdong army camp has been dead. Who is strong and who is weak? Through the comparison of night scenes, it is clear at a glance.

Huang Gai turned his face and looked at the Jiangdong Army Camp again: only the watchtower and dock were lit with faint lights in the Jiangdong Army Camp, and the rest were dark. Facing the piercing cold wind, Huang Gai looked at the noisy and lively Cao army camp. He couldn't help but think with emotion: If it weren't for the fact that Cao's generals and soldiers were not good at water warfare, if it weren't for the brave belief that Sun and Liu's allied forces were not afraid of strong enemies, and if it weren't for the Yangtze River as a barrier, Sun's allied forces would definitely not be the opponent of Cao's army... And tonight, Sun Liu's allied forces are about to launch an attack. As long as they can defeat the strong enemy Cao's army, even if they die under the sword of Cao's army, they will die without regret!

When Huang Gai first operated more than 20 ships to reach the center of the river, the sentry of Jiangdong Army saw that Huang Gai's patrol route was wrong. When the sentry gong tried to recall Huang Gai's fleet, Huang Gai's fleet ignored it. Therefore, the abnormal military situation of Sentinel Ma* was reported to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu hurried to the watchtower, and he saw that Huang Gai's fleet had crossed the heart of the river and went straight to the Cao army camp at full speed. In this scene, coupled with the recent abnormal performance of Huang Gai, Zhou Yu immediately judged that Huang Gai surrendered to Cao's army with the opportunity of patrol... The angry Zhou Yu immediately decided to send a large warship to stop Huang Gai and must kill Huang Gai on the spot.

So, in the darkness, tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers of the Jiangdong Army swarmed out of the camp. They boarded the ship at the fastest speed and manipulated large warships and medium-sized warships to chase the rebellious Huang Gai... The water camp of the Jiangdong Army suddenly became noisy.

At the same time, Cao Cao himself was observing on the roof of the Zhongjun building ship under the protection of the bodyguard Xu Zhu and other guards. At this time, the formation of Cao Jun's ships was as follows: six large building ships anchored and landed. In order to resist the wind, they were tied together with chains with thick arms; the rest of the small and medium-sized warships were clustered at their front and two sides, and were also tied with chains and large building ships; of course, there were also spacious waterways between these small and medium-sized warship formations. For patrols to go in and out.

Because the Cao army stationed on the north bank of the Chibi ferry at this time is nearly 300,000, the Cao army camp on the land stretches for ten miles from north to south. If you climb high, it will be extremely spectacular! The unique killing spirit of the barracks can definitely make the timid tremble all over, and incontinence... fainting on the spot is also very likely!

In Cao Cao's sight: Huang Gai's fleet was in a hurry, communicating with Cao's sentries as agreed; Huang Gai used two short and one long lanterns to tell Cao's sentry that he was Huang Gai who came to surrender; Cao's sentry told Huang Gai with two long and one short light: Please lead the fleet through Cao's warning area quickly. ......

At the same time, the sudden busy and sudden noise of the Jiangdong Army also reached Cao Cao's ears against the wind. In such a situation, Cao Cao knew that Zhou Yu, the leader of Sun Liu's allied army, was angry. Zhou Yu was desperate and forgot to pursue the rebellious Huang Gai... Put yourself in the other's shoes. If such a thing is put on himself, he will do the same.

However, is Zhou Yu's anger useful for reality? Before Cao Cao's order, Cao's navy soldiers gathered on the front-line warships, entered the combat post, controlled the continuous stone throwing machine and crossbows, and waited for the arrival of the Jiangdong soldiers.

When Huang Gai led the boat to enter the smooth waterway reserved by Cao Jun, the gradually strong northwest wind inadvertently began to change the direction of the wind. This slight change suddenly made Huang Gai overjoyed. He suddenly waved to the fleet behind him, and the general in charge of controlling the ship immediately ignited the supplies on the ship. These ships are not loaded with food and fodder and other military supplies expected by Cao Cao, but flammable and explosive oil fire tanks and wax oil fire tanks!

In a few breaths, more than 20 ships of Huang Gai caught fire. At the same time, when passing by with Cao's ships, these soldiers threw the burning oil fire tank and wax oil fire tank into Cao's ship regardless of the high temperature and roasting...

"Fraud! Huang Gai fraudulently surrendered..." The front troops of the Cao army shouted crazily. But their shouts were then covered by the sudden intensification of the southwest wind. The roaring southwest wind blew the Cao soldiers of the warship upside down. They couldn't control the crossbow to attack the enemy in front of them, and they couldn't even shoot a bow and arrow.

And Huang Gai led nearly a thousand soldiers to control more than 20 burning warships. Taking advantage of the wind, they quickly crashed into the large building ship in the back row of Cao's army... The sudden change in military situation suddenly made Cao Cao's heart cool. Before he could react, Changshi Xunyu and Jia Xu, the military division, ran to his side.

"King of Wei, Huang Gai cheated..." Chang Shi Xunyu said with fire in his eyes.

"King Wei, the wind has changed..." Jia Xu, the military master, said to Cao Cao in a low voice. At this time, there was an unconcealed surprise in his eyes.

When Cao Cao heard the report of the two, he woke up like a dream. He looked at the fire rising from the front row of Cao's fleet and gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly pass on my order, order Cao's army to put out the fire with all his strength, and be ready to meet the attack of the follow-up troops of the Jiangdong Army at any time... Order Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu II to block Huang Gai regardless of all costs and kill him..."

After the soldiers were ordered to leave, due to the strong wind, Cao Cao and his party had to retreat from the top floor of the ship. When they came to the second floor of the building ship, the follow-up troops of the Jiangdong Army had accelerated across the middle of the river with the help of the wind. The speed of the six large warships of the Jiangdong Army was completely beyond the imagination of the Cao army. When it was a kilometer away from the Cao army's stationary fleet, the large warships of the Jiangdong Army threw black waves of black pressure. Objects, these objects hit Cao Jun's ship and cracked in response, and then the black ** flowed freely on the boat...

Without waiting for Cao's soldiers to react, the large warships of the Jiangdong Army ejected bright torches and firecrackers with blue smoke. As soon as these objects fell on Cao Jun's ship, they immediately lit the wanton flowing black**. The dazzling fire immediately rose to the sky, and the fire took advantage of the wind and quickly spread to the fleet behind Cao's army... The speed of the fire spread also stunned Cao Cao and others.
