Huang Gai was greatly hit mentally when he recognized the thief as his friend. He stayed in his military tent all day long, and saw no one except a few people he knew well. Even the discussions in the big tent
He also refused to participate. Lu Su tried to persuade him many times, but Huang Gai could never get over this hurdle. He always felt that he was a veteran of Jiangdong and was loyal to Jiangdong and the Sun family. How could he make such a mistake when he was old?
He considered him his most intimate friend, and even when Kan Ze said he wanted to surrender to Cao Ying, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Kan Ze.
Huang Gai took a big sip of wine, lay down on the couch, bare-chested and bare-backed, and stared at the tent roof with drunken eyes. He looked lifeless and did not have the majesty of a general at all. Zhou Yu opened the tent curtain and walked in. The tent was full of people.
Zhou Yu, who smelled of alcohol, coughed repeatedly.
"General, general, the governor is here!" a guard said hurriedly to Huang Gai.
"Huh?" Huang Gai didn't seem to understand, he just turned his head and glanced: "The governor, in my eyes is just a junior, I think he was still nursing when I followed my old master to conquer the country.
!”
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Last time, Zhou Yu hit him with thirty military sticks just because Huang Gai said a few angry words. This time he insulted Shangguan, what would Zhou Yu do? Everyone looked at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu coughed lightly.
With a sound, he waved his hand to signal everyone to leave. No one dared to say anything more and hurriedly exited the tent.
Huang Gai hit his chest, and another breath of alcohol spurted out. Zhou Yu hurriedly covered his mouth and nose. Huang Gai smiled: "If you can't even stand this, why should you be a governor?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "In the opinion of General Huang, who can be the Commander-in-Chief?"
"Lu Zijing!" Huang Gai shouted and sat upright: "Lu Zijing is good at using people and has won the trust of the Lord. With a great governor like him, we can work together to fight against Cao Cao!"
Zhou Yu nodded: "Brother Zijing is indeed a good choice. He is a kind man, steady in his actions, good at hiding himself, and will never show mercy at critical moments. What General Huang said is right. I have written to the lord, recommending brother Zijing to be the leader."
Governor, if the lord agrees, there will be news soon!"
"Oh?" Huang Gai was a little surprised, and then he laughed: "You still have some ability to recognize people, tell me, if the governor comes today, there must be something big? As long as it is for me, Jiangdong, I, Huang Gai, am willing to go through fire and water!
"
"Okay!" Zhou Yu saluted Huang Gaishen: "The old general understands the righteousness well. Zhou Yu admires it. There is indeed a big event, and it must be the old general!"
Huang Gai didn't say anything. He raised his neck and took another sip of wine. Zhou Yu said: "I discussed with General Long that if we want to defeat Cao Cao's thieves, we can't attack by force, but can only use tactics. The Tianganwuzaohuo plan is the best, but our army's
There are very few people who can win Cao Cao's trust, and only the old general can make Cao Cao believe him!"
"What do you mean by this? Do you suspect that I am colluding with Cao Cao?" Huang Gai glared at Zhou Yu with anger on his face.
Zhou Yu shook his head: "The spy Kan Ze once invited General Huang to surrender to Cao Cao. Naturally, General Huang is loyal to Jiangdong and his lord. According to what General Long said, Kan Ze has already reported the matter to Cao Cao. If Huang Lao is now
If a letter from the general arrives, Cao Cao should not be suspicious!"
Over the years, Huang Gai has seen many strategies in his southern and northern campaigns. When Zhou Yu said this, Huang Gai seemed to have figured out some tricks. He hurriedly put down the wine bottle and looked at Zhou Yu: "You mean, let me stabilize
Live in Cao Cao?"
Zhou Yu nodded: "Old General Huang is so smart!"
Huang Gai rolled his eyelids: "Cao Cao is suspicious. He may not believe a letter from me, and this matter may not be possible!"
"It's okay to try. I wonder if the old general is willing?" Zhou Yu looked at Huang Gai.
Huang Gai thought for a long time. He didn't know whether what Zhou Yu said was true or false: "Are you really doing it for us Jiangdong? For the Lord?"
Zhou Yu nodded and raised his right hand: "I, Zhou Yu, swear that everything Zhou Yu does in this life is for the sake of Jiangdong. If there is even the slightest lie, heaven will strike!"
"Okay! I will listen to you and write a letter to Cao Cao immediately!"
"Old General, wait a minute!" Zhou Yu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Huang Gai: "This is a letter I drafted. Old General just copy it. In addition, since you are acting, you must act more realistically. Old General Huang
Can you bear the pain?"
"What are you talking about? I'm willing to sacrifice my life for Jiangdong. Is there anything I can't bear?" Huang Gai didn't care at all.
Zhou Yu nodded and suddenly shouted loudly: "Come on! Huang Gai drinks in private and disobeys military orders. He will be pulled down and beaten thirty times!"
"You!" Huang Gai didn't expect that Zhou Yu would fall out so quickly. Just a moment ago, he was talking about an old general, but in an instant he became Huang Gai: "Zhou Yu, son, I, Huang Gai, are incompatible with you!"
Several soldiers rushed into the military tent and tied up Huang Gai without any reason. Huang Gai's personal guards wanted to snatch someone, so Zhou Yu took off his sword and raised it high. This was a gift from Sun Quan himself. Zhou Yu shouted: "
Anyone who dares to obstruct him will be killed without mercy!" When everyone saw this, they had to retreat.
Lu Su was invited by Long Fei to play chess with him. With Long Fei's level, he would be Lu Su's opponent. After three games, Long Fei lost. Lu Su felt strange, how could Long Fei invite him to play chess?
?Long Fei still has this thought in the face of a huge enemy? When it came to the fifth game, Lu Su couldn't help it anymore: "General Long, please speak directly. If you have anything to say, General Long, it's really not appropriate to waste time here!"
Long Fei was still watching the chess game intently and thinking about where to move. Lu Su said again, but Long Fei still didn't agree. Chen Dao came back in a hurry, and whispered a few words in Long Fei's ear. Lu Su heard it.
Huang Gai, I didn't hear anything else, and my heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to ask, Long Fei said angrily: "Say something loud, I can't hear you!"
"No!" Chen Dao stood up quickly: "Huang Gai was caught by Governor Zhou for drinking alcohol and was sentenced to thirty military sticks!"
"What?" Lu Su couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to leave. Long Fei hurriedly stopped him: "Master Lu, don't panic. Huang Gai's drinking is against military discipline. There is nothing wrong with Governor Zhou's handling of it. Is it possible that Master Lu can replace him?"
How many sticks will Huang Gai receive?"
"Huang Gai is a veteran of three dynasties. Zhou Yu has humiliated him several times. Something will happen if this continues!" Lu Su was a little anxious and stood up again, trying to get rid of Long Fei's pull.
Long Fei smiled: "It doesn't matter, Governor Zhou has his own sense of proportion! Our game has just begun, why does Mr. Lu feel that his chess skills are not as good as mine?"
Lu Su still broke away from Long Fei and ran towards Huang Gai's military tent. When he arrived, Zhou Yu had already left with his people, and Huang Gai was carried into his military tent. The wound from the last blow had just been
Well, it was opened again today. Huang Gai lay on the side of the couch, panting heavily, and the sweat on his face dripped to the ground. Two soldiers were applying medicine to Huang Gai.
Lu Su rushed into the camp. The strong smell of alcohol had not dissipated. Lu Su was so smoked that he said, "Old General Huang, what are you..."
Huang Gai said nothing and did not look at Lu Su. Lu Su hurriedly stepped forward, glanced at Huang Gai's butt, and took a breath of cold air: "Zhou Yu is so cruel this time. He actually did such a vicious thing. Wait a moment, old general. I
Go find him to reason!"
Huang Gai said quickly: "No need, Mr. Lu, it's my fault!"
"Huh?" Lu Su was stunned. His kindness went to Huang Gai's cold buttocks. Since Huang Gai said so, what would happen to him? It seems that Long Fei was right, he really didn't
It should come. Huang Gai moved and a letter fell out of his chest. Lu Su hurriedly stretched out his hand. However, Huang Gai snatched it away and stuffed it into his arms. He didn't see anything else, but the word Cao was clearly written on the cover of the letter.
, Lu Su's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
Returning to his military tent, Lu Su tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. The word "Cao" on the cover of the letter kept floating in front of his eyes. If Huang Gai wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, he would not believe it even if he was killed.
But why did Cao Cao's letters appear on Huang Gai's body? Thinking of Kan Ze, Kan Ze and Huang Gai were the closest, could it be that this veteran of three dynasties had been persuaded by Kan Ze?
Lu Su was worried, so he got up and put on his clothes, ready to go to Huang Gai's camp to ask questions. Just when he arrived at Huang Gai's tent, he saw a black figure running out of Huang Gai's tent.
Lu Su was wearing Jiangdong military uniform, and by the light of the torch, Lu Su could see clearly. This person was none other than Captain Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng walked very quickly, left Huang Gai's military tent, immediately got on his horse, and headed towards the camp gate.
The direction went.
The suspicion in Lu Su's heart became even greater. He took a step forward and then stepped back. He was thinking, if Huang Gai really surrendered to Cao Cao, if he went to ask like this, he would just bump into Huang Gai's hands and be killed.
Maybe. But he didn't want to report to Zhou Yu. After thinking about it for a long time, there was only one way, which was to write a letter to Sun Quan immediately.
Only Long Fei, Zhou Yu, and Guo Jia knew about the matter of asking Huang Gai to stabilize Cao Cao. Neither the Jingzhou soldiers nor the Jiangdong soldiers knew anything about it. This was done to guard against spies. However, everyone in Jiangdong had developed mutual suspicion.
He has a habit of being too nervous about this matter, so he becomes a little neurotic like Lu Su.
After writing the letter to Sun Quan, Lu Su called a guard and wanted him to send him back to Moling. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy and finally decided to make the trip himself. It was several hundred miles back and forth from Sanjiangkou to Moling.
It would take five or six days even for a fast horse. Lu Su decided to go in person to be on the safe side. He sent someone to inform Zhou Yu that he was seriously ill and needed to rest for a few days. Regardless of whether Zhou Yu agreed or not, he left.
The horse galloped on the land of Jiangdong. Lu Su was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way. He kept urging the horse to run quickly. He ran for more than a hundred miles without stopping. When he was tired and exhausted, he found a place to rest. He found a pavilion at random, which happened to be opposite.
There was a small stall selling water. Lu Su took out some money, asked for a bowl of water, and asked him to get some fodder for his horse, and sat in the pavilion to rest for a while.
There was another person in the pavilion. This person looked strange. Ever since Lu Su got off his horse, this person had been looking at Lu Su intently. At first, Lu Su thought this person had a kind face. After thinking about it carefully, he hurriedly got up: "I didn't expect to meet Feng here.
Mr. Chu, what a pleasure to meet you! I wonder where Mr. Feng Chu is going?"
