Chapter 462

Veteran Huang Gai fought against Cao vigorously. He asked Kong Ming to persuade Sun Quan to use Sun and Liu's joint troops to defeat Cao.In order to dispel Sun Quan's worries and strengthen his confidence in resisting Cao, Zhuge Liang first provoked him with words, and then moved him by weighing the gains and losses, so that Sun Quan accepted the strategy of breaking Cao.

Sun Quan was worried because it was related to the survival of Soochow. Wu Guotai reminded him to "ask Zhou Yu for foreign affairs."

Zhou Yu returned, and Lu Su invited Zhuge Liang to meet Zhou.Lu Su asked Zhou Yu if he wanted peace or to fight. Yu intended to fight, but deliberately said peace, Lu Su believed it was true and argued with him.Zhuge Liang had already seen Zhou Yu's thoughts and wanted to provoke Zhou Yu wisely, so he sneered and remained silent.When Yu asked, Liang also deliberately talked about peace, and proposed that as long as Jiangdong Erqiao was sent to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would retreat, and he quoted Cao Zhi's "Tongque Terrace Fu" "Take Erqiao in the southeast, and enjoy the day and night together" This sentence proves that Cao Cao really wants Er Qiao.After hearing this, Yu scolded Cao Cao for being too deceitful.Liang pretended to be puzzled, and Yu explained, "Da Qiao is Sun Ce's wife, and Xiao Qiao is Yu's wife. I hope Kong Ming will help us to defeat Cao Cao."Seeing that Zhou Yu was unwilling to be deceived, Zhuge Liang agreed to work with Shang to defeat Cao's plan.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu's words were heard by Zhou Yu's beloved wife, Xiao Qiao, who said to Zhou Yu: "Even if Cao Bandit didn't send troops just for my sisters, once Jiangnan falls, the concubine and her children will fall into the hands of Cao Bandit. This remark made Zhou Yu more determined to resist Cao.

In the early morning of the next day, Sun Quan was promoted to the hall, and the civil and military officials were divided into shifts to serve Shaoqing, and Zhou Yu came to see him.

Zhou Yu and Sun Quan analyzed the Achilles' heels of Cao's army: for example, there was Ma Teng's troubles in the north;Sun Quan decided to go to war with Cao's army. He made Zhou Yu the governor of the army and gave Shang Fang a sword.Zhou Yu informed Zhuge Liang of this situation, but Liang guessed that Sun Quan still had concerns.

That night, Zhou Yu entered the account again, and found that Sun Quanguo was worried that Cao's army would be strong and invincible, as Zhuge Liang said.Zhou Yu told Sun Quan the actual number of Cao soldiers, and Sun Quan's doubts and worries disappeared.Zhou Yu was jealous of talent, he deeply felt that Zhuge Liang's strategy was superior to his own, and it would surely become a trouble to Jiangdong in the future, so it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible.He discussed with Lu Su, and Lu Su hurriedly dissuaded him, saying: "If you kill the sage before the thief is broken, you will hurt your own arm, and you may lose the trust of the world. Zhuge Jin is his brother, and you can persuade him to stay in Jiangdong." Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Jin to persuade Liang to no avail, and wanted to use Cao Cao's hand to kill Liang, but Liang saw through again.Zhou Yu then lured Liu Bei to cross the river, intending to take the opportunity to kill him, but because Guan Yu followed him around, he did not dare to do it.

When Liu Bei left Soochow, Xi Liang returned with him to avoid any accidents. Liang told Bei: "Immediately mobilize ships and horses to prepare for defeating Cao. Order Zhao Yun to drive a small boat to Nanping Mountain and wait. Don't make mistakes. Wait for the southeast wind. When it rises, the light will return."

Zhou Yu accepted Lu Su's suggestion and decided to wait until Cao was defeated before eliminating Kong Ming.Yu first sent Gan Ning to challenge Cao Cao, won the first battle, and went to spy on Cao Ying's water village in person.Cao Cao was furious when he heard the news, and planned to destroy Wu. Jiang Gan, a counselor, volunteered to Jiangdong to surrender Zhou Yu.Knowing his intention, Zhou Yu held a banquet in honor of him, pretending that Jiang Gan was an old friend of Yu and not Cao Cao's lobbyist, but secretly set up fishing hooks.Yu ordered Tai Shici to supervise the wine, declaring that before the banquet, only friendship was discussed, and state affairs were not discussed, and anyone who disobeyed the order would be executed.Zhou Yu praised all the generals as heroes in Jiangdong, and named the banquet "Heroes' Meeting".

Jiang Gan saw that Zhou Yu and the generals were fighting fiercely, so he didn't dare to mention the matter of persuading him to surrender, so he had to do his best to entertain.The banquet didn't end until late at night. Zhou Yu pretended to be drunk, went back to the tent with Jiang Gan to rest, and slept with him on the same couch.Jiang Gan mistakenly thought that Yu was drunk and fell asleep, so he got up quietly and peeked at a forged letter from Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to Zhou Yu, saying that Cai and Zhang would wait for an opportunity to kill Cao Cao and surrender to Zhou Yu.Jiang Gan believed it was true, and sneaked back to Cao Ying overnight, and presented the stolen letter to Cao Cao to show his merits.Cao Cao was furious and beheaded Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.You will know the trick until you realize it, but it is too late.Cao Jun lost the captain of the navy, so Mao Jie had to take over because of the ban.

Zhuge Liang saw through Zhou Yu's scheme of forging the book, which made him even more jealous and determined to get rid of Zhuge Liang to avoid future troubles.He made things difficult for Zhuge Liang, and limited him to supervise the manufacture of 30 arrows within ten days for attacking the enemy.Zhuge Liang took it easy, and proposed instead: The war is imminent, and ten days are too many, so just change it to three days.Although Zhou Yu was shocked, he was secretly delighted, fearing that something unexpected would happen, so he forced Kong Ming to issue a military order.Lu Su was deeply worried about Kong Ming, but Liang was indifferent. He only asked Lu Su to help him with [-] boats, each with [-] soldiers, drums and music. He also told Su: "This time, human life is at stake, so don't let Gong Jin know about it."

In the early morning of the third day, the boat set off to the north of the river. At five o'clock, when fog filled the river, Liang ordered the boat to approach Cao Jun's water village and spread it out.Liang drank with Lu Su in the cabin, played ancient tunes for fun, and ordered the soldiers to beat drums and shout, which alarmed Cao Jun's water village.When Cao Cao heard the news, he ordered the crossbowmen to fire all the arrows, causing the ship to tilt heavily on one side. Zhuge Liang ordered the ship to turn around and continue receiving arrows.The fog was about to lift, and Ryo ordered to return.At this time, the bundles of grass on both sides of the twenty boats were filled with arrows, and more than a hundred thousand arrows were easily obtained and delivered on schedule. Zhou Yu exclaimed helplessly: "Kong Ming has a wonderful plan, and Yu is not as good as Yu." Now I ask Zhuge Liang to discuss the matter of breaking Cao. .Yu and Liang each wrote the policy of breaking Cao in their palms, and when they opened it, they all coincided with the word "fire", and they looked at each other and laughed.

Jiang Qian's robbery caused Cao Cao to mistakenly kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the captains of the navy, and Cao Cao lost [-] to [-] feathered arrows by borrowing arrows from the grass boat. Cai Zhong and Cai He, younger brothers of the Cai Mao clan, were dispatched across the river to surrender to Soochow as internal support.Unexpectedly, this move was still in Zhou Yu's expectation. He used this to use his tricks, and wanted to use bitter tricks to realize his plan to attack Cao Cao, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.In anxiety, the veteran Huang Gai returned to the camp with food, saw through the governor's mind, volunteered, and was willing to suffer physical punishment.Zhou Yu was very moved.

The next day, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhou Yu severely punished Huang Gai with fifty sticks in front of the generals and Cai Zhong and Cai He.The generals couldn't persuade him, they only beat Huang Gai until his skin was ripped apart, and he was dying.Lu Su deeply blamed Kong Ming for standing idly by. Kong Ming told Lu Su that this was the plan of the governor: one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer.

There is another one who saw through Zhou Yu's plan-Kan Ze who joined the army of Soochow.Entrusted by Huang Gai, he crossed the river to present a letter of surrender to Cao Cao, and stated the pros and cons with a three-inch tongue.When Cao Cao was doubtful, he received a secret letter from Cai Zhong and Cai He, confirming that what Kan Ze said was true, so he believed Kan Ze and asked him to return to Jiangdong immediately to cooperate with Huang Gai in the incident.

In Gan Ning's camp at Sanjiangkou in Eastern Wu, Kan Ze and Gan Ning performed another scene of surrendering Cao, leading Cai Zhong and Cai He to tell their true feelings, and they made an appointment to vote for Cao together today.

When Shao Zhen was looking at the starry sky, he suddenly walked out of the misunderstanding of his thinking. His assassination failed frequently, because he was a group performer, and he was assisted by a military adviser. Then Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others with the protagonist's aura must have more advanced ones. Assisted by military division system.

"Military division, you go, I won't keep you anymore, I have no money"

"You still keep me. I have reduced the price of one hundred catties of gold by hundreds of thousands of times a day, and now it only costs one tael of silver a year."

Shao Zhen smiled, very happily.
