Chapter 99: Kan Ze Offers a Book
When he was feeling regretful, he heard that someone from Jiangdong came with a letter. Cao Cao ordered him to come in. Kan Ze met Cao Cao and then presented a letter of surrender. Cao Cao received the letter of surrender from Kan Ze and saw that the letter of surrender said: "Prime Minister Cao, I am from Jiangdong.
The veteran Huang Gai, also known as Gongfu, was not famous in the world, but he had experienced hundreds of battles, big and small, and made great contributions to Jiangdong's foundation. He thought he could enjoy his old age in peace, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu's child to be warlike. Gongfu had been repeatedly
Jin persuaded him to surrender to the prime minister in order to protect the lives of Jiangdong. However, he did not want to be framed by Zhou Yu for having an affair with the prime minister, and even wanted to behead Gai in public. Thanks to the strength of the Jiangdong generals, he was excused. He was beaten with a hundred sticks and deprived of the army.
I am incompatible with such humiliation. But if you think about it carefully, Zhou Yu is now in charge of the power of Jiangdong. It is hopeless to avenge today. Hearing that the prime minister likes to be a man of talents.
, so Gongfu wants to come and join forces to help the prime minister defeat Zhou Yu's son and restore peace to Jiangdong. If the prime minister thinks that Gongfu is old and incompetent and is unwilling to accept him, he will definitely kill himself with his sword when the prime minister breaks Jiangdong.
As promised, Gongfu set a date for the prime minister's troops to enter Red Cliff and lead his ship to surrender. Gongfu bowed down in tears."
After reading this, Cao Cao thought that Huang Gai was just pretending to surrender, so he wanted to push Kan Ze out and kill him. However, at this moment, a secret letter from Jiangdong suddenly arrived. Cao Cao opened the letter and saw that it was Cai Zhong and Cai Hezhi.
Letter of recommendation.
After Cao Cao finished reading, he believed that Huang Gai wanted to surrender. He also wanted to cooperate with Cai Zhong and Cai He and accept the surrender with the ship. Cao Cao was very happy at this time, so he apologized to Kan Ze and sent him away personally. Kan Ze left.
Later, Cao Cao returned to his tent and discussed the matter with Xun You. Xun You said, "Huang Gai is an old general, what's the use of accepting him?"
Cao Cao did not think so, so he said: "Although Huang Gai is a veteran general, he has been in battle for a long time and has rich experience in commanding troops. Moreover, he is also a naval general, which can make up for the shortcomings of our navy."
"Now we have only seen Huang Gai's letter of surrender and the recommendation letter of the Cai brothers. The details are not clear yet. Why is the prime minister so eager to agree to it?"
"Now that the letter of surrender and the letter of recommendation are here, what are the doubts?"
"If the Cai brothers had surrendered to Zhou Yu, wouldn't we have fallen into the trap?"
Cao Cao suddenly woke up and asked: "In Gongda's opinion, what should I do?"
"Send someone to Jiangdong to inquire about the facts before we can decide this matter."
Cao Cao said: "What Xun You said is true, but I don't know who to send there, who can not arouse Zhou Yu's suspicion, but also find out the true situation in Jiangdong?"
A person under the tent stood up and said: "I would like to go!"
Cao Cao saw that it was Jiang Qian. When Cao Cao saw this person, he was very upset. Last time he got back a letter of surrender, but this time he didn't know what he would get back. He wanted to refuse. But after thinking about it carefully, he still let it go.
He went.
Xun You said at this time: "Why did the Prime Minister let such a mediocre person go? Isn't the Prime Minister afraid that he will mess up things again?"
Cao Cao laughed and said: "I wanted to use Zhou Yu's hand to kill this guy. If Zhou Yu doesn't kill him, he can find out the truth."
Xun You said: "The Prime Minister is really wise!"
It is said that Kan Ze returned to Jiangdong from Wulin, and then went to see Huang Gai and explained what had happened. Huang Gai was so happy that he informed Zhou Yu of the matter. Zhou Yu was even more happy when he received Huang Gai's secret letter. The secret plan has been initially completed.
The only thing left was to connect all Cao Cao's warships together so that the fire could spread quickly. However, Zhou Yu couldn't help but think hard about how to achieve this.
Lu Su said at this time: "Why not let Kong Ming come together to discuss this matter?"
Zhou Yu said no, and then said: "Kong Ming is not from Jiangdong. To ensure that this matter is foolproof, all the plans for the fire attack will be completed by his own people."
Lu Su said: "But Sun and Liu have already formed an alliance, and Kong Ming should know our plan. Besides, the false surrender may not be concealed from Kong Ming. If we hide it from him now, wouldn't it damage the friendship between the two families?"
But Zhou Yu insisted not to let Zhuge Liang know about this. Seeing this, Lu Su had no choice but to give up. Lu Meng said at this time: "Cao Cao will definitely not connect all the ships together for no reason, why not attack his scattered warships and let them
Volunteer to join the army."
"If this happens, I don't know how many years and months we have to wait."
"In this case, why not let Ziming surrender to Cao Cao and then offer him advice."
Zhou Yu looked at Lu Meng, and then said: "If you go and propose a plan to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will not believe you, but will leak the story of Huang Gai's fake surrender."
While they were talking, they suddenly reported that Pang Tong was coming. When Zhou Yu heard this, he said, "If there is such a person, great things will happen!" After saying that, he personally brought Pang Tong in. Zhou Yu said with a smile, "Sir, it is just the right time to come here."
"I wonder what the governor wants from me?" Pang Tong said.
"Gong Jin has something he wants to discuss with you, sir."
Pang Tong looked around and saw no Zhuge Liang except for the civil and military officials in Jiangdong, so he asked, "Why don't you invite Kong Ming to discuss matters?"
Zhou Yu said: "Just now Gong Jin has finished discussing with him, so I asked him to retreat first."
Pang Tong was dubious, and then said: "In that case, I wonder if Gong Jin has anything important to discuss with Shi Yuan?"
Zhou Yu then briefly stated his thoughts. It turned out that Zhou Yu wanted Pang Tong to pretend to surrender to Cao Cao, and then offered Cao Cao a plan to connect all the warships together. Lu Meng and others wondered for a while why Pang Tong could pretend to surrender, but
But he can't do it himself.
After Pang Tong heard this, he then said: "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely keep Cao Cao's warships tightly connected, but I don't know who recommends me to surrender to Cao?"
Everyone was stunned for a while. Could it be that they want to find Cai Zhong and Cai He again? If so, they will definitely be suspicious, and even Huang Gai's story will be leaked. Just as they were talking, Jiang Qian came to visit after hearing this. Zhou Yu said to everyone:
"Jiang Qian came here to find out the real situation in our army. In this way, we can take advantage of him." So he ordered everyone to prepare, and asked Pang Tong to use a trick not far from the river to lure him.
Jiang Gan.
After everything was done, Zhou Yu waited in his tent for Jiang Gan to come in, looking very angry. Seeing that Zhou Yu had not come out to greet him for so long, Jiang Gan came to his tent in person. At this time, he saw that the generals were looking at him angrily, and he couldn't help but
He felt guilty for a while, after all, he had stolen Zhou Yu's letter of surrender last time. When Zhou Yu saw Jiang Gan coming in, he said angrily: "Left and right, drag Jiang Gan out and behead him."
Jiang Qiandao: "I came here to talk to Gong Jin, why did you kill me without asking the reason?"
Zhou Yu said: "Ziyi, I have treated you badly. You dared to steal my private documents and give them to Cao Cao, which made my plan fail. You are really bullying me by coming here again!"
Jiang Gan panicked and said, "Brother Gongjin, you have wronged me. I have not stolen any documents from you."
"You still want to argue that I slept with you on the same bed that night and lost the document the next day, but you didn't know when you left. If it wasn't you, who did it?" Zhou Yu said and wanted to pull away.
