Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 320 The Bitter Meat Plan (1)

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, when our navy was patrolling the waters, we intercepted several warships." Zhou Yu was discussing the matter of advancing troops when he suddenly reported that the navy had stopped the warships on the river.

Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Do you know what they are doing? Could it be that the vanguard of the enemy army can't do it?" Zhou Yu felt absurd when he said this, if the vanguard of the enemy army could be stopped by the navy patrolling the waters.

"Report to the Governor, they were all wounded, obviously after a lot of fighting, the leader claimed to be Cai He and Cai Zhong, Cai Mao's younger brothers, and fled here."

Zhou Yu was still puzzled after hearing this, and after thinking about it, he said to the soldiers, "Bring them up quickly, I want to ask them."

"Promise!" The soldier responded with clasped fists, and took the order to leave. Not long after, Cai Zhong and Cai He were helped in and walked in. Seeing this, Zhou Yu frowned and thought to himself, it seems that the two were seriously injured. easy!I just don't know what happened in Jiangbei.

The river is far away, and it is difficult for the elaborators to quickly pass the news back. Now Zhou Yu does not know that the Jingzhou army rebelled in Li Song's camp in the north of the river.

The two of them glanced at Zhou Yu, with hatred in their eyes, and turned their heads away to ignore Zhou Yu, because they were really weak now.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu asked, "Why did the two of you end up in such a situation?"

"Hmph! Why do we tell you that my elder brother Cai Mao was beheaded by the dog thief Li Song, and he has nothing to do with you!" Cai He snorted softly.

"Cai He, what are you talking about with him! If it falls into your hands, you can kill or cut it up! It's a pity! My brother's vengeance has not been avenged! You can't take the head of Li thief to pay homage to your brother's spirit in heaven! Not reconciled!" After Cai Zhong said, tears could not stop streaming down!

Zhou Yu ordered the two of them to be taken down to take care of them. After the sergeant helped them down, Zhou Yu called the old general Cheng Pu and said, "Although the two were crying loudly, they didn't show any emotion. I'm afraid they are spies sent by Li Song to spy on the truth. , I plan to do whatever I can and let them deliver the news that Li Song should know."

"You have to entertain them well, but you need to beware of them. Within a few days, they will pretend to surrender, and when it's time to send troops, they will use their heads to sacrifice the flag. You must be careful, and you must not make mistakes. "

"No! Please don't worry, Commander-in-Chief! I know what to do." Cheng Pu clasped his fists and saluted, and took his orders to leave.

Lu Su went to see Zhou Yu and said, "Cai Zhong and Cai He are here, what will the governor do with them?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "They have nowhere to go to Jiangdong, so I naturally want to take them in and use them for my own use."

"The governor, please think twice! These two people suddenly came to Jiangzuo, I'm afraid it's a fraud! You must not stay!" Lu Su hurriedly persuaded.

Zhou Yu yelled loudly: "They must have been persecuted by Li Song because of Li Song's murder of his brother Cai Mao, and they came here to us. How can there be any deceit! You are so suspicious, how can you tolerate the people of the world!"

After Lu Su heard this, he didn't know what to say, and Zhou Yu didn't give him a chance to speak, so he left directly. Seeing Zhou Yu's back disappearing in front of him, Lu Su had no choice but to leave. After much deliberation, he still felt that he should tell Zhuge Liang about it. .

When he came to Zhuge Liang's residence, he told Zhuge Liang about it and expressed his worries. After hearing this, Zhuge Liang didn't say a word, just laughed there.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was only smiling but not talking, Lu Su asked, "Kong Ming, I'm here to ask you a question. Why are you smiling?"

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "I'm laughing at Zijing not knowing Gongjin's tricks. The river is far away, and it's extremely difficult to communicate carefully. What if Li Song sent Cai Zhong and Cai He here to spy on our army? Gongjin is just planning. , was about to ask them to report the news. As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit, this is Gong Jin's strategy."

"So that's it! I was the one who blamed the governor." Lu Su finally came to his senses.

Zhou Yu was sitting in the tent at night, thinking how to defeat Li Song, but Huang Gai sneaked in at this moment. Seeing someone sneaking in, Zhou Yu picked up the sword beside him and drew it out of its sheath.

Huang Gai hurriedly shouted: "Great Governor! It's me, Huang Gai!"

After Zhou Yu identified Huang Gai, he asked, "Gong Fu came here so late, but what is the best way to defeat the enemy?"

Huang Gai said: "Now that the enemy is outnumbered, we really shouldn't delay for too long. It's not good for us if we are late. Why don't we use fire?"

Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this. Only he and Zhuge Liang knew about Huo Gong's strategy, and no third person knew about it. How did Huang Gai know about it?Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, "Who taught you how to attack with fire?"

Seeing Zhou Yu's surprised face, Huang Gai said, "To tell you the truth, the governor, I came up with the idea of ​​fire attack when I saw a fire destroying the wooden house by chance. No one taught me."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu was relieved and said: "I am also planning to use the fire attack strategy, so I left Cai Zhong and Cai He to see if it was a false surrender, and if it was a false surrender, let them pass false news to Li Song; but I wish I had no one to help me implement this plan."

Huang Gai clasped his fists and saluted, "Great Governor, I, Huang Gai, would like to help the Great Governor implement this plan."

Zhou Yu rejoiced and said, "It's good, but you need to suffer some physical pains, so that Li Song can be convinced that this plan can be implemented."

Huang Gai said: "I have received great kindness from three generations of the Sun family. Even if I were to die, I would have no regrets."

Zhou Yu got up and bowed to Huang Gai, and said to Huang Gai, "If Gongfu is willing to help me carry out this bitter plan, it will be a blessing for my six counties in Jiangdong."

Huang Gai said: "I will die without complaint, just to repay the kindness of my late master!"

"Okay! But we still need to wait for the news from Li Song's camp in Jiangbei, and it won't be too late to trouble the public to help me." Zhou Yu said.

"Okay! If that's the case! Then I'll take my leave first." Then he thanked him and left.

The next day, Xi Zuo passed the news of the Jiangbei Jingzhou army's mutiny back to Jiangzuo Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was shocked when he saw it!I didn't expect it to be like this, it was simply beyond my imagination. At this time, Cheng Pu heard that Cai Zhong and Cai He had no intention of surrendering!Instead, he planned to leave.

Zhou Yu suddenly felt that the matter was out of his control, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and he didn't know whether to continue to implement the bitter plan. Even Zhuge Liang was also surprised and uncertain after hearing this.

Zhou Yu thought about it again and again, and finally decided that the plan would not change and continue to implement, so he beat the drum to summon the generals to discuss the matter, and even Zhuge Liang arrived.

Zhou Yu said to everyone present: "Li Song led a million people and covered more than three hundred miles. It is not possible to defeat him in one day. Now let all the generals receive three months of food and grass, and prepare to fight Li Song to the death. "

As soon as the words fell, Huang Gai stood up. Zhou Yu had already asked him to cooperate. Huang Gai said: "Don't say it's three months, even if it's a year or so, it's useless! If this month If you can break the enemy, you will break."

"If this month can't be broken, I think it's better to listen to Zhang Zibu, abandon the armor and surrender, surrender to the North Gate and surrender! Why waste your tongue here, everyone can live in peace!"
