Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 478 The Bitter Meat Plan (3)

"Let me just say it straight, I'm here to persuade you to surrender. Yesterday the two armies clashed, and the general saw it. General Ziyi, Jiangdong Tiger General, faced Prime Minister Cao Tiesuo Lianzhou and could only retreat. May I ask who in Jiangdong can be the enemy? "

"Although Ziyu pleaded for me, don't say anything more about persuading him to surrender. I, Huang Gai, have been greatly favored by General Sun Jian, and I will not surrender until I die!"

"We won yesterday. According to the original intention of the prime minister and the generals, the army should go south. It was after my persuasion that Prime Minister Cao agreed to persuade me to surrender."

"So, we still have to thank Ziyu?" Huang Gai said mockingly.

"The general misunderstood me. I couldn't bear to see an old man give up his life in vain. Zhou Yu humiliated the general so much that he knew he was going to die. Why did you work for him?"

"What is Ziyu talking about? I, Jiangdong man, only know how to fight, but don't know how to surrender! Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu, and I am serving the Sun family, not Zhou Yu for him."

"Why doesn't the general realize that you are the Sun family, but Zhou Gongjin is the Sun family?" Hua Xin sneered, he didn't feel that Huang Gai kept saying that he would not surrender, but he didn't have the meaning of driving him out.

"Why did Ziyu say that?"

"Zhou Yu and General Bofu are inseparable, and they are brother-in-law, but what did he do when Bofu died? What is he doing to you veterans now? In his eyes, there is only power!"

There is a play, Huang Gai is secretly happy in his heart, but he hesitates and thinks on his face. "So what?"

"Hey, if the general surrenders, I can strongly recommend to the prime minister Sun Shao, the son of General Bofu, as the lord of Jiangdong!" Hua Xin said to Hu Chai confidently.

"Impossible, how could Cao Cao agree." Huang Gai retorted, "Even if he agreed, he might be deceiving us again. Then Liu Cong is the best example!"

"Jiangdong is far away from the Central Plains. It is different from Jingzhou. It is not the Sun family who can't appease. Sun Quan is always against the prime minister, so of course he can't be kept. But Sun Shao is justified. At that time, the general was his assistant, so why should he suffer from Zhou Yu's anger? Preserving the blood of General Sun Jian is a great achievement." Hua Xin said again, "Does the general have any other options? The day the prime minister sends his troops south is the time when Jiangdong will be destroyed. How can there be eggs under the collapsed nest?" "

"Ah!" Huang Gai closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "Forget it, I will bear the bad reputation. In the future, when Young Master Sun Shao comes of age, I will kill myself to thank Gongtai and General Bofu."

Hua Xin was overjoyed, "Then I'll ask the general to write the letter of surrender." He did it himself, readying his pen and ink.Huang Gaizhi wrote down eight characters: On the night of Shangyuan, Huang Gai came to surrender.

Hua Xin said with a smile, "Is this going to put down the Lu's rebellion?" It is said that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping put down the Lu's rebellion.

Huang Gai smiled wryly: "I am now the governor of grain and grass, and my confidantes are all in the army. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I will bring grain and grass across the river, and put a yellow flag on the bow. Please tell the prime minister. In addition, Sun Shao is the master of Jiangdong, otherwise I will I will never let you go."

Hua Xin dried the letter, folded it, and carefully put it in his arms. "Don't worry, general. I can't stay here for long. See you on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty."

When Hua Xin returned to the camp, Lu Su was already waiting. "Why did Ziyu go for so long?"

"Oh, Zijing should go and see, Dudu Zhou is too cruel, how did Gongfu endure such hardship at his age." Hua Xin shook his head and sighed.

Lu Su didn't continue to ask, and arranged for Hua Xin to rest in his camp, and sent someone to send Hua Xin across the river the next morning.

Hua Xin came to see Cao Cao excitedly: "Prime Minister, I am very happy."

"Huh? Did Zhou Yu agree to surrender?" Cao Cao felt a little unbelievable.

"That Zhou Yu was stubborn and refused to surrender. But he had many conflicts with his subordinates, and his hearts were in chaos. In order to establish his authority, he severely punished the general Huang Gai. When I went to see him, Huang Gai was already bruised and his appearance was horrible."

"Hehe, Zhou Yu's son is poor." Cao Cao said with a smile, "I've already expected this, congratulations again?"

"Although I didn't move Zhou Yu, Huang Gai has already agreed to belong, and agreed to take the grain boat across the river on the day of Shangyuan." After speaking, Hua Xin presented the letter from his bosom.

Cao Cao watched for a long time, then slapped the table. "This is a bitter trick, how can such a trick be hidden from me?" Xun You, Cheng Yu and others nodded frequently.

Hua Xin laughed and said, "No, no matter how much I persuaded, Huang Gai would not surrender even if he was humiliated. Until I mentioned Sun Shao..."

"Sun Shao? Could it be the son of Sun Ce?"

"Exactly. I said, I can persuade the prime minister to make Sun Shao's son the lord of Jiangdong, and then Huang Gai will submit."

"Hiss~" Cao Cao picked up the letter of surrender, read it again and again, "It seems that Sun Quan is not all popular in Jiangdong."

"That's right. Sun Ce's old department was a bit grievous," Hua Xin said.

"Prime Minister." Yu Jin came out of the class and bowed to salute, "Then Zhou Yu doesn't surrender, what's the use of a mere Huang Gai? Why should I care about a Huang Gai when my army covers up the past?"

Hua Xin said displeased: "General Wen Ze has no intentions. Huang Gai seems to be insignificant, but you need to know that he is a veteran of Jiangdong. If he surrenders, there will be countless people following him. It is not difficult for my army to defeat Zhou Yu, but there are only 3 in Chibi. People and horses, what about the other soldiers and horses? The Prime Minister has been away from the capital for a long time, how can he be tied to Jiangdong, if Huang Gai is to be surrendered, and if he is the pioneer, will all the places in Jiangdong wait for the wind to return?"

Yu Jin was not to be outdone, "If he surrenders, on the day I send troops, he only needs to respond internally and set fire to the grain ship. Why do he have to cross the river to surrender?"

"If he doesn't cross the river, how will he show his sincerity? Besides, how will he know when our army will send troops? What if Zhou Yu finds out that he has prepared early?"

"Okay, don't argue." Cao Cao felt a little headache from the quarrel between the two, "Gongda and Wenruo, what do you think?"

"My lord, if Huang Gai votes sincerely, it will indeed help to pacify Jiangdong as soon as possible. It's just that we need to guard against fraud." The two of them said nothing. Cao Cao missed Jia Xu a little bit. This old fox is best at intrigue.

"Then let's wait a little longer. If Huang Gai really brought the grain ship to cast it, then it will be true." Cao Cao said, "Yu Jin, you need to do a good job of interrogation."

"Yes." Yu Jin was a little depressed, he just killed him, regardless of whether he really surrendered, he made up his mind to give Huang Gai some color.

"Report, Xu Du urgently letters." A soldier came to report.

Cao Cao was startled and had a vague premonition. He opened the letter and took a look. Before waiting for the visit, he took a deep breath: "Cang Shu is ill."

Xun You and others were also surprised. Cao Cao liked this son the most, so why was he sick at this time. "My lord, what is the disease? Is it serious?"

"Headache, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting... Although several doctors were called for diagnosis and treatment, they were unable to make a diagnosis and were incompetent!" Cao Cao felt a little powerless, so he continued to look down, his face gradually beaming with joy. "Huh? Zhou Buyi has already invited Hua Tuo to Xuzhou for diagnosis and treatment. With Hua Tuo's genius doctor here, he must be able to cure him."

"Send an order to Zidan to return to Xudu immediately and take care of Cangshu."
