Early that morning, Huang Gai was patrolling the city with a few soldiers. Kan Ze suddenly came to Huang Gai with a smile. The two people had a good relationship. After meeting, Kan Ze repeatedly flattered Huang Gai, and Huang Gai was very happy.
Invite Kan Ze into the account for a chat. While drinking fine wine purchased from Wuchang City, they chatted with each other. The more the two talked, the more they became more and more congenial.
Kan Ze was a talkative man, with a humorous manner and a few tall hats on Huang Gai's head. Huang Gai was a bit confused. The two of them drank from morning to noon, and then drank from noon until the sun set in the west. There were ten jars of fine wine.
Afterwards, both of them drank a little too much, and their words became tongue-tied.
Kan Ze chuckled and said: "Old General, am I right? As long as you tell the lord those things, the lord will definitely make Zhou Yu miserable." Kan Ze moved his cushion next to Huang Gai and lay down.
He said in Huang Gai's ear: "I heard that the lord was so angry after hearing Yu Fan's report that he almost transferred Zhou Yu back to Moling!"
"Hahaha!" Huang Gai laughed loudly: "I heard that it's not just that. Do you know why Zhou Yu keeps coughing recently?"
Kan Ze shook his head quickly. Huang Gai said: "I heard that it was Zhuge Jin's idea. The Lord will send Zhou Yu some food every few days, and there are seasonings in it!"
"Ah?" Kan Ze pretended to be shocked.
Huang Gai smiled mysteriously and immediately made a gesture of silence. Kan Ze quickly shut up, smiled at Huang Gai, nodded slightly, and grabbed the wine glass: "I see, Zhou Yu respects his own troops and is very evil. This time
You will definitely not be able to escape from my lord’s grasp. Come on, let’s drink to my lord for getting rid of a great harm to Jiangdong!”
The two wine glasses clashed vigorously, and they drank one gulp. Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them were still in high spirits, and Huang Gai kept urging the soldiers to serve the wine. How dare the soldiers disobey. The lieutenant-general sat down
Opposite Kan Ze, he wanted to give advice several times, but before he could speak, Huang Gai immediately looked at him and swallowed his words.
Torches have been lit on the city wall, and the bright light illuminates the entire city of Wuchang. Wuchang is most famous for its fish. Anyone who comes to Wuchang must try the Wuchang fish. The fish in Wuchang is chewy but plump.
.Especially the fish just caught from the Yangtze River, sliced into thin slices and mixed with bitter wine [note], it tastes even more delicious.
Huang Gai tore off a large piece of fish with his hands, put it into his mouth and chewed it continuously. When he was feeling comfortable, the scout outside the door suddenly came to report: "General, there is movement on the river, it seems to be a ship!"
"Nonsense, how can anyone row a boat on the river in this weather? It must be waves, don't worry about it!" Huang Gai was in a happy mood and didn't pay much attention to this unusual movement.
Yu Jin and Mao Jie lay quietly on the bow of the boat, looking at the brightly lit Wuchang City opposite. The strong wind blew the big yellow flag on the city head to a roar. A few vague figures were walking back and forth on the city head.
swaying and looking listless.
Yu Jin asked in a low voice: "Can we find out that the person guarding Wuchang is Jiangdong Huang Gai?"
Mao Jie nodded: "That's what the scouts said. There is also Huang Gai's battle flag at the top of the city. It should be good!"
Yu Jin took a breath of cold air. The temperature in late autumn was still very low. The breath was particularly strong in his lungs: "Huang Gai is a veteran of Jiangdong. He was so negligent. Could it be another trick of Long Fei?"
"No!" Mao Jie said: "The east of Sanjiangkou is Jiangdong's territory, and it is guarded by Jiangdong's army. Long Fei will not get involved, it must be Huang Gai!"
Yu Jin was still a little unsure. The last battle in Huarong was still fresh in his memory. Cao Ren was willing to sacrifice himself to save them. This time, Yu Jin would never take the risk again. He immediately stretched out his hand, and the boatman who was rowing hurriedly stopped his hand.
Oar. Yu Jin ordered to put down the boat and go over to see the situation first. If it was really Huang Gai, it would not be too late to attack again.
Several small boats were gently put into the water, and a dozen soldiers slowly rowed the boats closer to the south bank of the Yangtze River. They found a relatively private place to land ashore, parked the boats, and headed towards Wuchang City.
Come. Just arrived at the edge of the city. Two scouts who had returned from patrol were riding horses and walking leisurely towards the city. Chatting as they walked.
One of them said: "Hey! Since General Huang came to our Wuchang, our life has become much better. We don't have to run hard every day, and now we can rest."
"Isn't that right? The former Zhu Huan wished we were dead. The patrol of thirty miles does not count, but has to be increased to fifty miles!" Another one began to complain: "For a broken horse like ours, a round trip of fifty miles is a hundred."
I won’t be able to come back for half a day! I don’t know how long Old General Huang can stay here!”
As they talked, the two entered the city along the official road. It was already midnight, and the city gate was still closed. The soldiers were leaning in the shelter inside the gate, lighting a fire and warming themselves up. The scouts of Cao Jun looked at each other, and the captain immediately
He sent two people back to report the news, while he and his people stayed here to continue monitoring.
After Yu Jin listened to the scout's report, Mao Jie smiled and said: "That's right, it's Huang Gai. How can there be another Old General Huang in the world? Don't hesitate, the opportunity is fleeting!"
Yu Jin nodded: "Okay! Then proceed as planned and let's go!"
The warship began to paddle again, and the huge warship surged into the water, slapping heavily on the river bank, washing against the embankment, and making a splashing sound. A clever soldier hurriedly looked towards the center of the river.
In the darkness, the vague shadows of several warships appeared and disappeared, and only a few could be vaguely captured: "Ship! There are warships!"
The captain slapped the guy hard on the head: "Nonsense! Where can there be a boat? The old general said it must be waves. Autumn and winter alternate, and the wind is strong on the river! If you don't want to warm yourself by the fire, go and stand guard!"
The soldiers no longer dared to talk nonsense, grabbed their weapons, and headed towards the sentry post dejectedly.
The sound of the river was getting louder and louder, and the outline of the warship was faintly visible under the lights and firelight on the shore. When the captain raised his head, he saw the boss with his mouth open in surprise. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something on his chest.
Something hit hard. The brothers on both sides let out screams, their bodies were covered with arrows, and blood was dripping out from the wounds.
"Old General, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!" A city gate guard, with two arrows stuck in his back, rushed into the Yamen in a hurry. Huang Gai and Kan Ze were drinking happily when they suddenly saw a
The man covered in blood did not react for a moment.
"Cao Jun! Cao Jun is coming!" The soldiers were frightened and could not speak clearly.
The deputy general stood up in a hurry, grabbed the soldier, and slapped him twice: "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
"Cao's army is attacking! A large number of Cao's troops have crossed the river!" The soldiers were beaten half to death, but luckily they finally made it clearer: "We have entered the city gate, and my brothers are almost unable to stop them!"
"Bang!" The wine glass in Huang Gai's hand fell to the ground. He wanted to stand up but felt that his legs were weak and his head was blank. Kan Ze hurriedly staggered to help Huang Gai, but Huang Gai took advantage of the situation and pulled him in front of him.
The world was spinning and he couldn't get up at all. The deputy general looked back and immediately ordered people to summon all the soldiers and horses to guard.
"Kill...!" Yu Jin held a big sword in his hand and rushed to the front of the team. He cut down the soldiers guarding the city gate in two or two strokes. The soldiers behind followed and poured in. Cao Jun finally found the anger that he had been holding back for so many days.
After reaching the breach, the soldiers were very brave. Jiangdong Army soon announced that the city gate was lost, and the sirens of the attack rang out one after another in the city, waking up the soldiers who had just fallen asleep.
Huang Gai tried hard several times but couldn't stand up. He drank too much, everything in front of him was shaking, and he couldn't straighten up when he walked. Kan Ze grabbed Huang Gai and said, "Old General, you can't go!
Cao’s army is so powerful that we can’t stop it!”
Huang Gai was pulled by him and fell to the ground again. After struggling twice, it was completely useless. The guards beside him hurriedly helped Huang Gai up. Huang Gai gasped: "I, Huang Gai, have a great reputation in my life. Today, I have been ruined."
Once, if we don’t fight to the death, how can we still have the face to see the lord again! Let’s go!”
The city was on fire, and Cao Jun's soldiers and horses were everywhere. Jiangdong's army was blocked in several streets, and they ordered to release arrows. The arrows poured down like raindrops, and there was no place to hide. There was a scream, and Jiangdong's soldiers
One after another fell down, and Cao Jun took advantage of the situation and swarmed forward.
The deputy general was seriously injured and was carried back by several soldiers. He looked at Huang Gai and wanted to speak, but unfortunately he didn't say anything. His head turned and died in front of Huang Gai. Huang Gai slapped his mouth hard several times, and a wave of
The smell of alcohol went straight to his head. Kan Ze hugged Huang Gai's thigh tightly, and his tears and snot rubbed on Huang Gai: "Old general, shall we go? If you don't go, we will all die here!"
The cry of killing could already be heard outside the door of the Yamen. Jiangdong's army was still making its final struggle. Cao's army had a clear division of labor. Yu Jin led the men to kill, while Mao Jie was responsible for setting the fire. The bright fire almost illuminated the entire sky, dozens of miles away.
It was clear to see that Wuchang City was completely surrounded by fire. Cao Jun controlled almost four gates, and only the east gate was still in the hands of Jiangdong Army. Regardless of Huang Gai's insults, Kan Ze always held Huang Gai and held on to his guards.
With the help of others, Huang Gai rushed out of the back door of the subordinate office and headed straight for the east gate.
Le Jin defeated the resisting Jiangdong Army and kicked open the gate of the yamen. Inside, Wuchang Ling, who had been so frightened that he wet his pants, knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Yu Jin didn't even look at it, but slashed with his knife, and blood spurted out three feet.
How high, how far Wuchang Ling's head rolled out. Yu Jin roared loudly: "Kill! Don't spare any one, kill them all!"
The movement in Wuchang was huge. Sanjiangkou was right next to Wuchang, so he was naturally alarmed. Zhou Yu rushed out of his tent and looked at Wuchang City from a distance. His violent coughing made him extremely uncomfortable. He stretched out his hand and touched the palm of his hand.
The pool of blood was very dazzling.
Zhu Huan was frightened. He quickly hugged Zhou Yu who was about to fall down and shouted to the doctor: "Captain, are you okay?"
Zhou Yu pointed at Wuchang, closed his eyes and fainted.
