Chapter 52 Liu Biao died and lost Jingzhou Cao Liu Sunnan fought against Chibi (26
When Zhuge Liang's boat borrowed arrows and Nanye's boat carrying arrows arrived at the shore, Zhou Yu had sent a thousand sergeants to wait by the river to move the arrows. The arrows sent by Nan Ye were bundled, very neat, and the count was quickly completed, and the number was no different. Zhuge Liang only borrowed a lot of arrows, but he had to clean them up. After a thousand soldiers were busy for a long time, they finally finished counting and moved into the village to pay for it.
Zhou Yu didn't expect that Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang would make the arrows as promised within a day. He couldn't help but be shocked and asked Lu Su how the artificial arrows passed by. After Lu Su said, Zhou Yu couldn't help sighing, "I'm not as good as the master and Kong Ming! It takes two people's strength to break Cao. After saying that, Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang were invited to discuss the accounts.
A moment later, Nanye, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong entered the account. After the three met Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu said, "The national teacher and the two gentlemen are admonishable. Yesterday, I sent my envoy to urge the promotion army, but I didn't have any tricks yet. I also asked the national teacher and two gentlemen to teach me.
Zhuge Liang was tricked by Zhou Yu twice and said modestly, "Liang is mediocre, and the governor has no clever plan yet. How can I have a plan?"
When Zhou Yu heard the words, he looked at Nan Ye and Pang Tong again. This time, Nan Ye and Pang Tong also learned well and hid their shortcomings with Zhuge Liang. Zhou Yu was unhappy and said, "If our three families work together to fight against Cao, we should work together and make a plan. To tell the truth, I have thought about a plan, but Cao Cao's water village has a strict method. I don't know if this plan is possible, so I don't dare to say it lightly. Dare to ask whether the three are really nothing to do, or have they never been attentive?
Zhuge Liang said, "The governor's words are heavy! Yesterday, I saw that Cao Cao's water village was not idle to attack. I thought hard for a long time and got a plan. I also don't know if it can be successful, and I am by no means neglecting the war.
Nan Ye looked at Pang Tong's eyes and said, "I also have a plan with Shi Yuan, but this plan is difficult to do, and I dare not say it lightly."
Zhou Yu almost tilted his nose when he heard the words and said to himself: I said there is nothing I can do, and you can't wait. I said there is a plan, and you have a plan when you wait. I'll tell you the strategy later. If you talk about the same strategy as me, won't you be lazy to fool me? This won't work! I must find a way to force you to wait. Thinking of this, Zhou Yu said, "Since the national teacher and the two gentlemen have a plan, why don't we write them separately on paper and see if they are the same?" After saying that, he ordered people to take the pen and inkstone.
Zhuge Liang took over the paper and pen to write, and Nan Ye, Pang Tong and Zhou Yu also wrote separately. After writing, the four put down their pens at the same time, and then each showed the text on the paper to watch each other, and laughed at the same time. It turned out that the four people wrote a word "fire" on the paper.
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Since we have seen the same things, it can be seen that this is a wonderful plan. Don't leak it."
Zhuge Liang said, "Is there any reason for this to leak secrets? Cao Cao had met with me before and won this plan twice. Now the governor still has Cao Cao's plan.
Nan Ye smiled and said, "The so-called tricks don't need to be dangerous, as long as they are easy to use."
Pang Tong said, "That's what the national teacher said!" The four of them laughed again.
However, he said that Cao Cao was cheated by Zhuge Liang with more than 100,000 arrows to feel depressed, so he also summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures so as to find the scene. Xun You offered a plan and said, "In Jiangdong, Zhou Yu and Liu Bei's military division Zhuge Liang conspired to succeed one after another. It is because Liu Bei has been familiar with our military situation in Jingzhou for a long time, but we don't know anything about Jiangdong's soldiers. Now we can send people to Eastern Wu to defraud the surrender as an internal communication. If you know yourself, you can use a conspiracy.
Cao Cao first lost the water battle, then killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun with his broken arm, and was deceived by Zhuge Liang with countless arrows. He also guarded Jiang Dong and dared not be as careless as at the beginning. Hearing Xun You's plan, he said, "This plan suits me, but I don't know who can cheat?"
Xun You said, "Cai Mao was killed the day before yesterday, and it is reasonable for the Cai clan to resent the prime minister. Cai Zhong and Cai He, brothers of Cai Mao, are now deputy generals in the army. The Prime Minister can benevoting two generals and send them to Jiangdong to fraudulently surrender, which will not be suspicious.
Cao listened to Xun You's words and called the two of them into the account that night and told them, "You two can lead a small number of sergeants to Jiangdong to fraudulently surrender. If there is any movement, send someone to report it secretly, and there will be a reward after it is done. Don't have two hearts!"
However, all families have the division of elders and children, and there is no shortage of intrigues and quarrels. As soon as Cai Mao died, Cai Zhong and Cai He's status in the family did not decline but rose, and they did not resent Cao Cao. At this time, Cao assigned the task, and the two of them thought that it was time to make contributions. At that time, they should say, "Our wives are all in Jingzhou. How dare we have two minds? There is no doubt about the Prime Minister. We will take Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's head to offer it under his command.
Cao Cao's words were rewarded to the two. The next day, Cai Zhong and Cai He led 500 sergeants and drove several boats to the south bank.
Zhou Yu was discussing with the generals how to march into the army in the account. Suddenly, soldiers came to report: "A ship came to Jiangbei, saying that Cai Mao's brothers Cai He and Cai Zhong came to surrender."
Zhou Yu summoned the two when he heard the news. Cai Zhong and Cai He cried as soon as they saw Zhou Yu: "Our brother is innocent, but he was killed by Cao Thieves for no reason. The two of us want to avenge our brother and surrender. Please hire the governor. I'm willing to be the front.
Zhou Yu was overjoyed to hear the words, rewarded the two, and ordered them and Zhou Tai to be the front vanguard. Cai Zhong and Cai He didn't make achievements, so they won two rewards in succession. They were secretly happy. They thought that Zhou Yu was tricked and thanked him repeatedly.
After the two withdrew from the account, Zhou Yu secretly called Zhou Tai and told him: "These two surrendered without a small family. I suspect that they are Cao Cao's scum. The reward of the two is to make a plan and let them spread the news. You treat each other attentively and beware secretly. On the day of sending troops, kill his two sacrificial flags first. Youping, be careful and don't miss it.
Zhou Tai took the order and left. Lu Su met Zhou Yu and said, "The surrender of Cai Zhong and Cai Hezhi is mostly a fraud, and the governor cannot be accepted."
When Zhou Yu saw that Lu Su said this matter directly in front of the generals, he scolded: "The two of them came to avenge their brothers. They are loyal and righteous people. What's the fraud? If you are so suspicious, how can you tolerate the people of the world?
Lu Su retreated silently when he heard the words, but he still doubted the two generals, so he came to Nanye and Zhuge Liang, hoping that they could persuade Zhou Yu to beware.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "This is not Gongjin's careless, but Zijing doesn't know Gongjin's plan. Now that the river is separated from each other, Cao Cao sent Cai Zhong and Cai He to fraudulently surrender in order to spy on things in our army. Gongjin made a plan and asked the two of them to fax false information. Zijing broke his face in public. How could Gongjin not be angry?
Lu Su woke up when he heard the words and left in his heart. When Nan Ye learned that Cai Zhong and Cai He had come to the army as spies, he acted more and more cautiously. He changed the clothes of Jiang Dong soldiers with Pang Tong and others and pretended to be Zhuge Liang's bodyguards to avoid being broken by Cai Zhong and Cai He.
Some time ago, although Zhou Yu unified with Nan Ye, Zhuge Liang and Pang to set a plan for a fire attack, Zhou Yu still had no idea how to do it. Today, Cai Zhong and Cai He came to cheat and surrender, which was a reminder to Zhou Yu. That night, Zhou Yu thought about who would send to Cao's camp to fraudulently surrender, so as to use the fire attack plan.
While Zhou Yu was thinking hard, Huang Gai lifted the curtain and quietly entered, which shocked Zhou Yu and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what's important to come here late at night?"
Huang Gai said, "Cao Cao trained the navy day and night. If it lasts for a long time, it will be unfavorable to our army. I have few enemies. Why don't the governor break through it quickly with fire?"
When Zhou Yu heard the words, he also leaked the news and asked in shock, "Who taught the public to offer this plan?"
Huang Gai shook his head and said, "What I thought about is not taught by others."
The so-called wise man must have a loss, and a fool must have a loss. Jiangdong has many generals, all of whom are thinking about breaking Cao's plan. Although Huang Gai is a general, it does not prevent him from having some experience, which is in line with Zhou Yu's plan.
Zhou Yu was trying to find a general who could understand his intention to cheat the surrender. Huang Gai made Zhou Yu's eyes bright: "I'm going to attack with fire, so I left Cai Zhong, Cai and two people to spread the news. Unfortunately, no one in the army did the fraud for me."
Huang Gai said, "I would like to do this for the governor."
Zhou Yu said, "If you cheat and don't suffer some suffering, how can Cao Cao believe it?"
Huang Gai said, "I am favored by my lord, and I have no regrets. Why are I afraid of suffering?"
When Zhou Yu heard this, he got up and thanked him and said, "It's lucky for Jiangdong to be willing to do this bitter trick." After saying that, Huang Gai was ordered to come out.
The next day, Zhou Yuming gathered together, and everyone under the account came. Cai Zhong, Cai He and Zhuge Liang also arrived, and only Nan Ye and Pang Tong avoided. Zhou Yu said to the generals, "Cao's millions of people can't be broken in a day. Each of the generals has three months of grain and grass to prepare for the enemy."
As soon as the words fell, Huang Gai said, "Three months, even 30 months are useless. Cao's army practiced day and night, and the soldiers became stronger and stronger. In my opinion, it will be broken this month. If Cao Cao can't be broken, it's better to surrender to the north according to Zhang Zibu's words.
Zhou Yu changed his color and said angrily, "I am ordered by my lord to break Cao. Those who dare to say surrender will be killed. Now that the two armies are fighting, you dare to slow down our military heart here. If you don't cut it, you won't be able to convince the public!" After saying that, he ordered Huang Gai to withdraw from the beheading.
Huang Gai also said angrily, "Where were you when I fought with General Wentai? How dare you show off in front of me.
Zhou Yu was even more angry when he heard the words and ordered people to be killed quickly. Zhou Tai came forward and advised, "The general is an old minister of Jiangdong, so he has no merit and hard work. I hope the governor will forgive him."
Zhou Yu shouted, "The army has its own law. If you dare to say more here, I will beat you out first." After saying that, he beat Zhou Tai out.
When Wenwu saw that Zhou Yu really wanted to kill Huang Gai, they all knelt down and advised him: "Although Huang Gai should be punished, it is not good for the army. I also hope that the governor will forgive for the time being and have the right to remember his guilt. After breaking Cao, it's not too late to kill him.
Zhou Yu's anger has not subsided, but he can't blame the public and can't beat everyone out. Seeing that everyone was begging for mercy, Zhou Yu said, "If I don't look at the officials, I will definitely behead today. Since the public begged for mercy, they should avoid death for the time being, and only beat a hundred ridges to correct their sins!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard that they were going to hit a hundred spine sticks. This punishment was similar to direct death, so they begged for exemption. Zhou Yu no longer gave in, overturned the table case and repulsed the crowd, only calling for execution.
In front of the tent, the samurai peeled Huang Gai's clothes and dragged him to the ground, hit the fifty spine sticks in a row, beat Huang Gai to death, and fainted several times in pain. Wenwu couldn't bear it and begged Zhou Yu, "If the governor fights again, Huang Gong will die!"
Zhou Yu's heart also bleeds when he saw Huang Gai suffer, but his face was still cold and his fingers said, "If you dare to underestimate me, this is the end. Today, I will spare you for the time being, send you fifty sticks, and then you will be punished for two crimes of neglect. After saying that, hate and go away.
