After fifty military sticks were applied continuously, Huang Gai's buttocks were already dripping with blood.
From the first blow to the last, Huang Gai remained silent, and his expression was as cold as ice. After the torture, he hunched his back, refused Cheng Pu's help, and tried to return to the camp to rest alone.
But he didn't take a few steps, and Huang Gai fainted from the pain and was beaten. Those fifty military sticks really hit the flesh and showed no mercy. Huang Gai's ability to persist until now and not fainting already speaks volumes about his strength.
Physical fitness is up.
Huang Gai fainted. When Cheng Pu saw it, he was immediately anxious and carried Huang Gai back to the military tent with all his hands.
His entire buttocks and even his back were covered in blood and flesh. The military doctor who came to treat him couldn't help but shake his head when he saw such a serious injury. He used good gold medicine to smear Huang Gai's entire wound.
, he couldn't lie down to sleep and could only lie down on the bed.
After Sun Ce vented his anger, he did not stay and took Zhou Yu back to Duke Lu's mansion.
The dispute came to an end, but there was already a lot of discussion in the camp.
The news of Huang Gai's beating spread quickly, and even Huang Chao, who was far away in Liang Kingdom, also received the news.
"My lord, Sun Ce severely punished Huang Gai with fifty military sticks. With fifty military sticks down, Huang Gai must be resentful. Now is the best time to provoke him. Should we immediately send someone to incite Huang Gai to abandon the secret and turn to the bright side?"
In front of Huang Chao, a secret agent leaned over and said.
"Has anyone been sent to confirm this matter?" Huang Chao couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he was cautious by nature and always wanted to ask more questions. After all, something heard from hearsay is not as good as something that one of his own people has seen in person.
"Don't worry, my lord, I've sent someone to confirm. This time Sun Ce will show no mercy. If General Huang Gai doesn't recuperate for ten days and a half, I'm afraid he won't even be able to get out of bed!"
"Okay, then let's arrange for someone to contact him!" Huang Chao thought for a long time before slowly nodding his head. No matter what, he has to give it a try. At most, he can just be more vigilant in the future.
On the one hand, Huang Gai is Huang Chao's clan brother after all, and the relationship between the two was quite good. In addition, now that Sun Ce has punished Huang Gai like this and is resentful, this is already the easiest general for Huang Chao to win over.
On the other hand, as one of the oldest generals in Sun Jian's force, Huang Gai is still very influential. If Huang Gai is willing to join their side, it will definitely be a huge blow to Sun Ce's force, and it can even cause a huge blow to Sun Ce's force.
Others serve as a warning and guide.
With Huang Chao's nod, the secret agent immediately went down to make preparations.
The Huang Chao force has just been established. Even if Huang Chao has already prepared before, the secret agent force must be extremely weak, or even just started.
But after all, Huang Chao has been operating in the Sun family for many years, and Huang Chao has a special relationship with Huang Gai. It would be easy for Huang Chao to find someone to contact Huang Gai quietly.
Huang Chao sat in the room, with a faint smile on his face, and said confidently: "Young people are hot-blooded after all. They can't withstand setbacks, and they can't be calm. In this way, he reprimanded his generals. Sun Ce, this time
You will definitely lose!"
Three days later, the Sun clan's military camp was at the Chinese army's tent.
Huang Gai lay on the bed to rest. A soldier came in and reported: "General, a man came from outside the camp, claiming to be your distant relative. I wonder if the general has met with the locals?"
"Distant relative?" A trace of doubt flashed across Huang Gai's eyes, but the next moment he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately struggled to get up.
When the soldier saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward and held him down, saying: "General, no, the military doctors have repeatedly warned that the general must not move in the past few days."
After Huang Gai heard this, he stopped struggling to get up and lay down on the bed again.
When Huang Gai heard about the so-called relative outside the camp, his heart moved. He waved to the soldier beside him and said, "Please come in!"
Not long after, a young man with a young appearance walked in. When the young man saw Huang Gai, he bowed his hands respectfully and saluted. Then he glanced sideways at the soldiers standing in the tent and stopped talking.
Huang Gai came to his senses immediately and knew what was going on. He waved his hand to the soldiers in the tent and said, "You go down first. No one is allowed to enter the tent without my order."
The soldiers received the order and quietly exited the camp.
After the soldiers had completely withdrawn from the tent, Huang Gai said: "Tell me, who sent you here? I don't remember you as a distant relative."
The young man smiled slightly and didn't care about what Huang Gai said. Then he said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "General Huang is a hero among men. Is it true that you can't guess it?"
Huang Gai's eyes suddenly froze, and he shouted: "You are from Huang Chao!"
The young man smiled and replied: "The general is wise!"
"Why did Huang Chao send you here?" The look on Huang Gai's face began to become colder and he asked the young man coldly. If it weren't for Huang Chao's rebellion, how could he have done anything with Sun Ce?
The relationship was so tense that Sun Ce even blamed him heavily.
The young man's attitude towards Huang Gai was still calm and composed. He stepped forward without haste and said in a low voice, "General Huang and my lord are from the same clan. I heard that the general was severely punished by Sun Ce for my lord's affair. I
The master of the house feels extremely guilty and misses the general, so he specially ordered me to come and visit the general!"
"Then since you have visited this general, you can leave now!" Huang Chao remained unmoved, still looking cold.
"General, don't be anxious. I have something I don't know whether to say or not?" After hearing Huang Gai's words, the young man not only did not leave, but instead found a place to sit on his own, and even poured himself a glass of water.
When Huang Gai saw this, his face darkened, but he cried and laughed helplessly, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, let it go!"
"The general and my lord are relatives. In the future, even if it is just because of my lord's affairs, I will be more careful with the general. I hope the general will consider some things as soon as possible." The young man slowly said to Huang Gai.
"Humph, it's not because of the traitor that Huang Gai is in this situation today!" Huang Gai couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"What the general said is wrong. If Sun Ce really trusted and valued the general, how could he treat him like this? And if something like this happened the first time, there would be a second, third, or even third time.
Head. Are you a hero among generals who are willing to endure grievances and be restrained everywhere? If people are not punished for their own sake, the general should also think about himself." The young man retorted with a smile.
"Furthermore, after all, my lord is a brother of the general clan. If the general abandons the dark side and joins the bright side, wouldn't it be great to work with my lord for a great cause! It would be better than continuing to be the lackey of the Sun family and his son!" the young man continued.
