Chapter 224 3 Kingdoms: General Huang Lao is righteous!
...
[Zhou Yu was shocked when he saw the mountain of arrows. He sighed secretly, "Kong Ming is so smart and wise that I am not as good as him."
In order to defeat Cao's army, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang sat on either side of the tent. They each wrote a word on the palm of their hand. Then they walked towards each other and opened their palms at the same time. Lu Su was amazed to see that the word "fire" was written on both of their palms.
Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu looked at each other and laughed. 】
<Prime Minister Cao has since embarked on a journey against the wind, hahaha>
<Zhou Yu: After thinking about it carefully, it doesn’t seem so bad>
<Made in XuChang>
<In fact, at this time, the governor had already given up and agreed with Kong Ming, so it should be that the killing intention came back later>
<The Jiangdong Arson Group is coming soon>
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: Can the two of them really work together?]
[Xiahou Dun, the fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: It's just a fire attack, what's there to be afraid of!]
[Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: Who can explain the foreign characters? ]
[Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Xuanye: Made in Xuchang...]
[Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao: Hahaha, that's true. The arrows borrowed from Cao Cao were made in Xuchang, weren't they manufactured by Cao Wei?]
...
Cao Cao: "Zhuge Kongming! Zhuge peasant!"
"Go find Zhuge Liang quickly. I need to solve this major problem as soon as possible!"
Cao Ren accepted the order.
Xiahou Dun originally wanted to say that he would go, but seeing Cao Cao’s face was as gloomy as ink, he shut up and said nothing more.
The counselors below were discussing the matter.
"Zhuge Kongming is going too far."
"If this man cannot be used by the lord, he must be killed."
"Zhuge Kongming and Zhou Gongjin may seem suspicious, but they are actually smart people. We should be careful."
"I heard that Sun Ce wants to seize Jingzhou?"
"Well, there's no need to rush. The south is just as chaotic as the north. It just depends on which one stabilizes first."
...
【Due to Zhou Yu's plan, Cao Cao mistakenly killed the two commanders of the navy, Cai and Zhang. Zhuge Liang also borrowed arrows by straw boats, causing Cao Cao to lose 150,000 to 160,000 arrows. A series of failures made Cao Cao very angry, so he adopted the plan of false surrender by his adviser Xun You and sent Cai Mao's cousins Cai Zhong and Cai He to pretend to surrender to Zhou Yu as an internal response.
Zhou Yu saw through the two men's false surrender and decided to use their trick to let them pass on the message for him.
At night, Huang Gai came in and suggested using fire attack. Although Zhou Yu was surprised, he still told Huang Gai the truth. If this plan was not carefully planned, it might be difficult to implement.
Zhou Yu: "...Cao Cao is treacherous and cunning. If we don't make careful arrangements, it will be difficult to achieve...How can we rush into the water fort without being discovered by the enemy and set fire to the ships...Why don't I also send someone to Cao's camp to pretend to surrender...But this person must be several times more capable than the Cai brothers, otherwise Cao Cao will not trust him."
Huang Gai bowed and said, "General, I am willing to carry out this plan...General, in order to defeat Cao and for the hegemony of Wu Hou, I am willing to die even if it means my own death. People will eventually die after living for a hundred years. I wish to follow the ancient heroes and leave my name in history, and die without regrets!"]
<The counter-espionage within the counter-espionage has begun>
<Most of Cao Cao’s soldiers and counselors were from the north. They are probably not used to the climate there and their intelligence has dropped. [Covering face]>
<Hey, they are really the Koto Arson Group hahaha, they all want to go together>
<It is estimated that Zhou Yu already has a candidate in mind. If he wants to win Cao Cao's trust, he must choose a veteran like Huang Gai or Cheng Pu>
<Seeing them say that it was for the hegemony of Wu Hou... Alas, although we have always complained that Sun Quan was Sun Shiwan, but during the Battle of Red Cliff, he was the wise leader that the entire Eastern Wu swore allegiance to>
<You should know that Dongwu was the last of the Three Kingdoms to be destroyed, so it still had some talented people>
<General Huang, rest assured, you will be remembered in history and even included in our textbooks>
[The next day, Zhou Yu beat the drum to summon all the generals to his tent.
Zhou Yu and Huang Gai began to use the strategy of self-torture. Zhou Yu first said that it would take three months to defeat Cao. At this time, Huang Gai stood up and walked to the center to propose a quick victory.
Zhou Yu said: "...Cao Cao is resourceful and good at using troops. When Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought at Guandu, Yuan Shao's army of hundreds of thousands was defeated by Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops...It is better to hold on and use the tactic of exhaustion to wear down Cao's army..."
Huang Gai disagreed, thinking that Cao could be defeated within this month, and sarcastically said that if it could not be defeated within this month, why not follow Zhang Zhao's advice, abandon the arms and surrender to the north?
Zhou Yu pretended to be angry, slammed the table, and snorted coldly: "...I am commanding the three armies under the order of the lord. I have already said that anyone who dares to surrender to Cao must be killed! Now that the two armies are facing each other, you dare to speak wildly and disrupt the morale of the army. It will be difficult to convince the people if you don't kill him. Someone, take Huang Gai away!"
Zhang Zhao and Cheng Pu quickly pleaded with Zhou Yu, asking him to forgive Huang Gai's gaffe.
Huang Gai was furious and said without thinking: "Zhou Yu! Since I followed General Sun Jian, I have traveled across the southeast for three generations. How dare you, Zhou Yu? Zhou Yu! How dare you kill my three-generation old minister?"
Gan Ning could not hold back any longer and also pleaded for Huang Gai. Zhou Yu had Gan Ning beaten out with clubs. Lu Su also pleaded with Zhou Yu to spare Huang Gai, and Cheng Pu and other generals all knelt down under Zhou Yu to plead for Huang Gai.
Zhou Yu looked coldly at the kneeling generals, then turned to look at Zhuge Liang, while Zhuge Liang sat quietly without any expression.
Zhou Yu seemed to have made a difficult decision and said: "...beat Huang Gai with a hundred strokes of the cane."
Huang Gai was dragged out of the tent with his upper body naked. He looked at Zhou Yu with hatred and began to be tortured without fear. Halfway through, he fainted. Everyone secretly wiped their tears and asked Zhou Yu for mercy again. Zhou Yu threw out a token.
Huang Gai was helped back, and Zhou Yu followed him outside the tent. He looked at Huang Gai's back and shouted, "Huang Gongfu! Do you dare to look down on me again?"
All of this was witnessed by Cai Zhong and Cai He, and Zhuge Liang had seen through Zhou Yu's good intentions and walked past him. Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang's back with complicated eyes, and tears finally flowed from the corners of his eyes.
<Zhou Yu: Summary of my (Yuan Shao) first half of life [covering face]>
<Zhang Zhao: Ah??? How dare he talk about surrender>
<Zhou Yu fights Gan Ning, one is willing to fight and the other is unwilling to be beaten>
<Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai - one is unwilling to fight and the other is willing to be beaten>
<Huang Gongfu is so righteous!!! If the self-torture trick is not done by someone who is on the verge of death, how can people believe it [crying]>
<This strategy is really dangerous. Even if Huang Gai survived the self-torture strategy, he would lose his head if he was discovered [sigh]>
<No, after being beaten like this...will I still be able to go to the battlefield in the future [crying]>
<Liang Liang did not say anything because he also knew that this was a good plan, but at the same time he also admired General Huang’s loyalty and courage>
[Song Renzong Zhao Zhen: Alas, I really shed tears for General Huang]
[In the eighth year of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Fan Kuai said: Huang Gongfu is a man of high righteousness!]
[Zhang Fei, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: With so many heroes working together, how could Cao Cao not be defeated?]

Eastern Han Dynasty, the fifth year of Jian'an

Xun You shook his head and sighed, "There are many talented people in Jiangdong... I was too confident."
The others remained silent, and Cao Cao began to doubt himself. If a Huang Gai like this came to surrender to him, would he believe it or not?
...Hey, he really believes it...
"Most of the lord's subordinates are from the north, which is why he was plotted against by Zhou Gongjin. Don't worry too much. Now that we have been reminded by the light curtain, we may pay more attention to the navy in advance, stabilize the north and march south to unify the world!"
As Guo Jia finished speaking, Xun Yu and others agreed, and Cao Cao also nodded.
Jiangdong
"General Huang, it's Yu's fault..." Zhou Yu came in front of Huang Gai and was about to kneel down, but Huang Gai immediately grabbed him and helped him up.
"Hey, what's that? Let alone the mere 100 sticks. Besides, I was willing to do this. I should thank Zhou Lang for leaving my name in the history books for future generations. Hahaha."
Huang Gai's words immediately caused laughter among those around him, and Zhou Yu also stood up and bowed to Huang Gai as a sign of respect.
Sun Ce looked at the happy atmosphere of the civil and military officials in the tent, and thought of his father Sun Jian...
Father, I will definitely take good care of the old ministers you left behind!
