Chapter 595: Cao Cao fell into a trap

"Prime Minister, Huang Gai led his army to surrender."

After searching for Zhou Yu's army for a long time, Cao Cao was not sure about it. He couldn't help but feel moved when he heard it.

Although Cao Cao has sent many people out to inquire these days, he also knew that Zhou Yu's army must be hidden in the Yangtze River system. But searching along the river, he just couldn't find it.

This is not because the horse exploration under Cao Cao was not effective. It is just that the people along the river have long been cleared by Zhou Yu, and they cannot find a family to inquire about it. Moreover, they cannot be covered because of this. The horse exploration sent by Cao Cao, Whether it was a boat or a walk along the river, as long as it was more than 80 miles away, it was always killed by Zhou Yu's troops arranged in advance. There was not even a person who came back to report the news.

What's more, these Cao Cao's horses are not always missing in search of one direction, but there are signs of missing on any route. This makes Cao Cao even more unable to judge.

Moreover, the long wait has made Cao Cao very impatient. Cao Cao even wanted to cross the river, first relying on his superior forces to send some troops to capture Jiangnan, and then searching for Zhou Yu. Then, after Zhou Yu got his troops, he was in the process of The main force defeated Zhou Yu in one fell swoop. After all, although Zhou Yu's military strength is the biggest problem, Zhou Yu cannot be completely without foundation. The consumption of hundreds of thousands of people is definitely not a small number. Zhou Yu must not ignore it.

However, Cao Cao came to Jiangnan this time to expand his power and conquer Jiangnan. It is also very important for the local people to be honest.

Therefore, Cao Cao was still a little hesitant for the time being. Therefore, when Cao Cao heard that Huang Gai came here, he was very excited. Now he could finally know where Zhou Yu’s main force was hiding.

However, even so, Cao Cao did not fully believe that Huang Gai really surrendered.

Cao Cao stroked his beard and asked casually: "Would Huang Gai bring his family here?"

"I haven't brought my little sister."

Cao Cao slapped the table with a "snap": "Hmph! Huang Gai dared to come here for a false surrender. Don't make a fuss. Wait for me to ask him." After that, Cao Cao ordered someone to summon Huang Gaijin to see him.

The generals were ordered. Soon, Huang Gai brought him.

Huang Gai bowed and bowed to Cao Cao and said, "I have seen the Prime Minister, and Gai led the crowd to come. Wan Wangcheng followed the previous appointment."

"Ba!" Cao Cao slapped the table and said furiously: "Huang Gai used a bitter plan to get things done. He can bully me, no one in the Central Plains, but he dared to come and insult me!" After that, he told his left and right to kill him.

To be honest, Cao Cao is like this, not completely scaring Huang Gai. Cao Cao really has the intention to kill him. Now Cao Cao infers that Huang Gai may have committed suicide. How can he trust Huang Gai? If Huang Gai really committed suicide, then he will definitely He is a loyal and determined person in Jiangnan, and he cannot be surrendered by torture. What Cao Cao needs to know most now is just where Zhou Yu’s main force is now. Since Huang Gai brings so many people, even if he kills Huang Gai, he can still get from those The soldiers learned from the mouth that the soldiers were not as steadfast as Huang Gai.

Therefore, Cao Cao did have the intention to kill Huang Gai. However, Cao Cao made his fortune by relying on his reputation of being eager for talent. Now that Huang Gai is here, Cao Cao can kill him without meeting him anyway. That's why Cao Cao met Huang After hiding, expose the yellow gauze and then order someone to kill him.

However, after taking Huang Gai down at this time, Huang Gai did not change his face and laughed to the sky.

Cao Cao couldn't stand it now. Killing Huang Gai who confessed to guilt would be unharmed from Cao Cao's reputation. But now Huang Gai looks like a martyr. If outsiders don't know about Huang Gai, Cao Cao's reputation

But that's all.

Cao Cao quickly taught someone to bring Huang Gai back and scolded him: "I have seen through the evil plan, why do you laugh?"

Huang Gai had a divine eyes, looked directly at Cao Cao and said, "I don't laugh at you. I laughed at me, Huang Gongfu, and I don't know anyone."

Cao Cao knew in his heart: Huang Gai was talking about himself. But Cao Cao could only use this trick. Fame is important. Now he is not as strong as Liu Ming. Even his reputation has ended, so he can't catch up with him.

.

Cao Cao said very directly: "Huang Gai, don't say cleverly. Don't criticize me for not knowing people. I have been familiar with military books since I was a child and know the way of evil and falsehood. Your plan is only good.

How can I hide it from others?”

Huang Gai also said sternly: "You tell me that that matter is a traitor?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I tell you your flaw and teach you to die without any resentment: Since you have surrendered sincerely, how can you not come according to the agreement? Come here in advance and be selfless and deceitful. What is your reason for now?"

After hearing this, Huang Gai laughed: "You are not afraid, and you dare to boast about your knowledge of military books! You should not withdraw your troops early! If you fight, you will be captured by Zhou Yu! Those who are unstudy have caused you to death!

”

Cao Cao is also a mean person. The more others scold him, the more tough he becomes, the more he needs to ask.

At this moment, Cao Cao took it seriously and asked, "What do I mean I have no learning?"

Not to mention, perhaps it is this persistence and the problem of waking up one's own shortcomings at any time that has made Cao Cao succeed in this chaotic world. However, now he has given Huang Gai a chance to defend himself. It can be said that:

God's will is unpredictable. This is the same as gain, and this is the same as loss.

Huang Gai Zhengrong said, "You don't know the plan and do not understand the truth, so you don't learn it?"

"You can tell me that those things are not the same?" Cao Cao said very seriously.

"You have no rituals to be wise, why should I say anything? But I just die." Huang Gai said heroically, looking calm and righteous.

Cao Cao couldn't stand it anymore. This is what Cao Cao cares most about. At this moment, Cao Cao said seriously: "If you make sense, it proves that you are not a false surrender. I will naturally apologize to you."

Huang Gai sneered and said, "Didn't you hear that you are stealing from your back? You can't do it regularly? If you are eager to make a decision, you will come here to respond, and things will leak. But you can do it with slightest deeds, so how can you make a decision? Just like someone today

Although the appointment was less than the time limit, Zhou Yu's son ordered me to go to Baling to beware of Sun Quan's opportunity to send troops. I have time to come here. It was me who was right to adapt to the situation. You don't understand this principle and want to kill a good person, but you really have no learning.

My fellow! But I also believe the rumors and do not know people!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao immediately changed his expression and stood up to bow to Huang Gai and said, "I see that I don't understand the matter, but this is my fault. I am in the wrong way. I am lucky to be careful not to worry about it."

Don’t say that Cao Cao had a good habit of knowing his mistake. However, after Cao Cao admitted this mistake, he apologized to Huang Gai. However, Cao Cao said very seriously: “General Huang, although this mistake is

However, the general is willing to surrender. Why not bring his family here? What should the general say?"

Huang Gai said intimately: It's so dangerous. Fortunately, the military advisor thought carefully. Otherwise, the matter would be defeated.

However, Huang Gai was as stable as Mount Tai at this time. He said without hesitation: "I Huang Gongfu, surrendered with all my heart, like a baby looking for his parents, how could he be deceitful? It was just that he had been independent with Zhou Yu before, and his family had long been hiding the fourth son.

Wingxia. A few days ago, I made an appointment with the Prime Minister. I have notified my fourth son to lead my family to take refuge in the prime minister. Could it be that the fourth son has not arrived yet?"

Huang Gai was stunned by Cao Cao's words, and it was difficult for Cao Cao to tell the truth for a while. Could it be that Huang Gai really came to surrender? But the four sons of the Sun family had some changes and could not be dragged away?

Just as he was thinking, a military soldier came to report that Cao Ren had arrived secretly.

When Cao Cao took it, he saw that Cao Ren reported to his son-in-law, the fourth son of the Sun family, and brought Huang Gai's family to Hefei. He came to inform Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw this, and now he had no doubts about Huang Gai and apologized to Huang Gai: "I doubt the general, my fault is my fault. These are all at the time of the battle, so I have to be careful. Don't blame the general. As long as the general

If you can achieve great achievements, you will receive titles in the future and will be above all others."

Huang Gai said seriously: "I didn't come for the title and salary, but I can't stand the defeat of the Sun family. I just hope that the Prime Minister will succeed, so don't forget the promise the day before yesterday and treat my fourth son kindly."

Cao Cao immediately smiled and said, "I just wait to eliminate Zhou Yu, and I will destroy Sun Quan and grant your four sons the lord of Jiangnan."

Huang Gai thanked Cao Cao and then said to Cao Cao: "Now Zhou Yu is stationing troops in Lu Tiandang. It is only a hundred miles away. I can lead the way for the Prime Minister. With the Prime Minister's fierce fire warship, the troops can be defeated. However, Zhou Yu's troops

There are more than 200,000 horses. If they abandoned the ship and went ashore and guerrillas with the Prime Minister, there will be many water villages in the south of the Yangtze River. The waterways alternate. Although the Prime Minister's ship is fierce, it will eventually not be able to reach the shore. They can only go by. They can only walk around. In the end, they are not as good as Zhou Yu's ship replaced.

Bento. It was the prime minister at first. If a certain person called the prime minister, the prime minister could send a large army across the river and 15 or 6 miles away from the Lutiandang to ambush it, and wait for Zhou Yu's army to be defeated and landed on ashore.

I will wipe out the Prime Minister's trouble in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately ordered the entire army to go to war.

However, Cao Cao is worthy of being a veteran in burning people, food and grass. Even if the entire army set out, he still left a little way out for himself, so that Xi Zhicai led 50,000 troops to guard the camp. Those thunders that were difficult to carry and moved slowly were not allowed.

Cao Cao also left all the car and Cao Cao to Xi Zhicai. Anyway, it was an ambush, not a siege. Cao Cao was also very at ease.

On the river, ships traveled like crucian carp in a river. Cao Cao's main army was too many, and it was not something that could be reached in just one sentence.

Huang Gai looked at everything in front of him, feeling both comforted and sad.

What comforts is that when the great cause is completed, Cao Cao's army is about to be trapped in Jiangnan. The Sun family is about to rise from the beginning. However, the family and the fourth son have a great chance of dedicating themselves to this. Huang Gai finally made the heroes sad. Even if it is not easy to be sad.

Huang Gai was told in advance that he had a rescue method early, so Huang Gai was really unable to rest assured. After all, how much time can it take to kill a few people?

Huang Gai couldn't help but sigh: The overall strategic deployment of the military advisor is really nothing to say, but when it comes to the specific tactics application, it is much worse. No matter how good the strategy is, if the ability does not implement it, what's the use? Just like

I am just like a fraudulent surrender. If I change myself, I am a little timid and be fooled by Cao Cao. Isn’t this strategy complete?

Just as he was thinking about it, someone reported: "The two governors, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, are invited." Huang Gai hurried to go.

It turns out that the main force of Cao Cao's army had passed at this time, and it was Cai Mao and Zhang Yunde that navy troops set off. At this time, they came to Huang Gai to lead the way.

When Huang Gai came, he brought 150 ships and more than 10,000 people. At this time, Huang Gai took 50 bows to lead the way. The remaining hundreds of ships were all followed by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's fleet.

After seeing it, Zhang Yun said to Cai Mao: "This old man Huang Gai knows to avoid suspicion. He divides his troops into two places, one in front and the other in back. He cannot escape at the same time. There is no such thing as false surrender."

Cai Mao nodded and said, "This old man and his family have brought it. If he surrenders, his family will not be safe. Now he is cautious, and I think it is because of this."

Half a day later, the waterway was narrow. Fortunately, the waterway was still deep enough, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had large ships to pass through. However, thousands of ships of all sizes could only be lined up in a long line.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun frowned secretly: How can the ships be deployed in such waters? If Zhou Yu's navy arrives, how can they win?

Cai Mao urgently ordered someone to summon Huang Gai to ask questions. He also ordered the entire army to suspend its advancement.

Soon, Huang Gai arrived on a small boat, and Cai Mao asked him about it.

Huang Gai smiled and said, "General, after passing this water area, it will be spacious when he reaches Lu Tiandang. Is it true that the general, as a talent for the Jiangnan water battle, does not know that the Jiangnan waterway is mostly like this? On the river, there are ships.

Unfold, however, how many rivers are there in the world? Isn’t Zhou Yu’s army hidden here because the waterway is convenient, but it is not convenient for the army to launch? What’s more, if Zhou Yu led his troops to come, our army will continue to fight, then Zhou Yu’s land

The navy and navy are not allowed to be carried out. When the battle begins, the Prime Minister's army arrives by land. Wouldn't Zhou Yu's navy be destroyed faster?"

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun both felt that Huang Gai was right, so they continued to lead their troops.

After traveling twenty or thirty miles, the ships ahead had entered Lu Tiandang. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's ships were approaching. They saw that the reeds were withered and yellow, endless. Cai Mao was shocked at the time: If such a water area was a fire-breathing ship

If you spit fire, wouldn’t you even burn yourself into it? Is that Huang Gai a fraud?

Cai Mao immediately sent an order to call Huang Gai. After seeing Huang Gai, he asked, "In the reeds are connected to the sky, which is not conducive to fire attacks. Why don't you say it earlier? Is there a fraud?"

Huang Gai laughed and said, "I'm here all the kids, why are there any fraud?"

When Cai Mao heard this, his arrogance was a little shorter at that time, and he just asked, "Why not say it earlier?"

"It is called Lu Tiandang, of course it is Lu Liantian. Everyone knows this, why bother to say it again?" Huang Gai looked as if it were right. Cai Mao was speechless immediately.

Zhang Yun said from the side: "That's right, it's better to burn Lu Tiandang with fire and burn Zhou Yu to death directly, so that we can also communicate with the Prime Minister."

Cai Mao was a little moved.

Huang Gai smiled and said, "A fire burned Zhou Yu to death? Hehe, I'm afraid that except for calling Zhou Yu to the police and allowing Zhou Yu to escape from the waterway, it will not have any function. Could it be that the surrounding Zhou Yu Water Village will be filled with reeds?

Not to mention that they were set on fire, how could the sight around the water village be blocked? The two governors set up the water village, is that true?"
