[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

Since the time of Sun Jian, Huang Gai has followed the Sun family, and then fought south and north.Later, Sun Jian died unexpectedly, Huang Gai did not choose another master, but continued to follow Sun Ce, who was only [-] years old. After Sun Ce died, he became loyal to Sun Quan.

After three generations, Huang Gai had a deep affection for the Sun family. Even if Cao Jun resorted to "despicable" methods, he was unwilling to give in and voted for Cao Cao.

Huang Gai closed his eyes, ready to face the terrifying sound.

However, Huang Gai waited for a long time, and the invited scribes had not yet started to play.

He opened his eyes and saw that this man actually walked in front of Cao Cao and another man who looked like a counselor, watching them play Liubo.

Waiting was harder than torture. Huang Gai saw that these people started playing chess on their own, without paying any attention to his intentions, letting himself be bound and left aside in the cold. It was as uncomfortable as being bitten by ants.

I don't know how long it took, when Huang Gai couldn't help but wanted to make a sound, to make these people "kill or cut" faster, Cao Cao won the chess game again, stroking his beard and laughing.

After laughing happily, when he turned his head, he happened to meet the yellow cover tied into rice dumplings. Cao Cao pretended to be surprised and said:

"Why is General Huang still here?"

Huang Gai, who had been waiting here for a long time, couldn't help being slightly annoyed.

Being tied up here as a prisoner in humiliation, waiting for a word from the enemy leader, this is a shameful and annoying thing, but the enemy leader didn't mention how to deal with it, put him on hold for a long time, and finally said such hurtful things on purpose The language is simply shameless.

Before Huang Gai could retort, Cao Cao suddenly ordered a fast boat to be prepared to send Huang Gai back to Jiangdong.

Huang Gai's annoyance was blocked by this sudden surprise. He really couldn't find a reason for Cao Cao to let him go back to Jiangdong, but he subconsciously believed that there must be a conspiracy.

Seeing that Huang Gai became more vigilant when he heard his order to send him back to Jiangdong, Cao Cao didn't care about this, and just waved his hand to let the guards quickly pull Huang Gai onto the boat.

He wanted Zheng Ping to give Huang Gai a farewell Xiao Yin, and at the same time practice his anti-interference ability, but unfortunately, after the performance last night that hurt the enemy one thousand and self-damaged eight hundred, his own team has fallen into a depression. When he makes such a request, even if he is the lord who has the unique right to speak, he is afraid of offending the public.

So he could only think about it in his heart, intimidate Huang Gai by the way, and regretfully send him back to Jiangdong.

Cao Jun sent people to the other side with great fanfare, which surprised the soldiers and officials of the Sun Liu coalition army.

Only Zhou Yu was the same as Zhuge Liang, and ordered someone to wash Huang Gai to calm him down, and sent a military doctor to treat his wounds, and let him go down to rest.

Huang Gai didn't want to go down to rest. He staggered to Zhou Yu and said anxiously, "What's Cao Cao's intention? He took a lot of trouble to arrest me. He didn't try to persuade me to surrender, and he didn't need to force me to ask about the military situation. He just let me hang out." Most of the day, they sent someone to send me back? Also to the gate of the tent?"

Zhou Yu reassured: "General, don't think too much, Yu will handle this matter."

Huang Gai knew that Zhou Yu's character was noble and high-spirited, and since he said this, he promised him that he would resolve this matter with his own hands.

However, Huang Gai didn't want to be that fool after all, and said to Zhou Yu earnestly and gratefully.

"I know that the commander-in-chief is generous, but if he doesn't know the reason for this, Gai will feel uneasy and afraid that he will be frightened day and night. Please tell the truth."

Zhou Yu sighed and said to Huang Gai:

"If Cao Cao didn't let you go back today, or even killed you because he couldn't persuade you to surrender, that would be a foolish trick. Ever since Cao Cao went south, Jiangdong has been arguing endlessly about how to deal with Cao Cao. We will wait for the main battle and swear to defeat the Cao bandits. They surrendered easily. However, many Jiangdong gentry masters believed that 'Cao Cao is strong and I am weak', and meeting Cao Cao was nothing more than praying to block the car, which would only increase casualties."

After the anxious look on Huang Gai's face gradually calmed down, Zhou Yu continued,

"The lord is wise, he drew his sword to break the book case, and he was at odds with the Cao thief. He just deterred the "Zhuhe" faction. Now that Cao Cao has released Jun Ping'an, I am afraid that those suppressed "Zhuhe" will start to move again. .”

Huang Gai is not a fool, Zhou Yu made a little point, and he understood the key point, and was angry and angry with Cao Cao's behavior.

"According to the governor's opinion, how should we deal with it now?"

Zhou Yu put on his pocket guard and cloak, and held the hilt of his sword around his waist: "Let the army immediately, and fight bravely."

On the other side, Liu Bei's army, in the tent of the Chinese army, is exactly the same as the leader of the faction.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were tasting thin tea. Hearing that Huang Gai was sent back to the gate of the Jiangdong camp by Cao Jun, Liu Bei put down the teacup with a solemn expression, and said to Zhuge Liang:

"As expected, Cao Cao only detained General Huang for half a day, then sent someone to send him back to Jiangdong, and sent him to the gate of the camp with great fanfare."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said: "Cao Jun's move is intended to stir up the hearts of Jiangdong's army. I heard that Cao Cao imitated Duke Zhou to hold his hair, respecting corporals, and recruiting talents regardless of their background. General Huang is a loyal minister of the Sun family for three generations. Cao Cao takes the lead. If Cao Cao kills General Huang, it will not benefit him at all, but it will arouse the hatred of Jiangdong's army."

Liu Bei continued: "It's better to send back to Sun Ying with great fanfare. One is to show your magnanimity and silently persuade you to surrender; the other is to drive a wedge between Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, the old ministers who have survived from the past, and the new ministers of Zhili Sun Quan. It’s quite an achievement.”

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and said nothing.Cao Cao's move seems simple, but in fact it is very effective, and it makes people feel miserable. It is a complete conspiracy if they know that there is a separation and cannot be resolved.

"Cao Caoguo is very human, and the advisers who accompany him are also difficult people."

I don't know what came to mind, Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei with a calm and calm expression, after a subtle pause:

"General, do you know who in Cao Cao's camp likes to play the pan flute?"

Liu Bei didn't know why Zhuge Liang suddenly got involved in this irrelevant matter. After careful recollection, he couldn't find a suitable person.

"When I was in Xu County in the past, there didn't seem to be such a person...Why did you say that, sir?"

Zhuge Liang then truthfully told what happened last night.During the previous conversation, Liu Bei only listened to the most critical developments of last night, without any contact with the details.Now hearing Zhuge Liang mention this "detail", especially emphasizing that the "panpipe sound" is difficult to listen to, Liu Bei's expression changed, and he remembered that when he defected to Yuan Shao, he had obtained an important military favor from Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xina.

"I heard that Cao Jun once harassed Yuan Jun with the treacherous sound of the pan flute, disturbing Yuan Jun's peace. Could it be that he is repeating the old trick?"

Zhuge Liang didn't think so: "If it's the same song... Cao Jun attacked Yuan Shao secretly in the past, and only Yuan Jun heard the sound he played, so it didn't hinder Cao Jun. But Cao Jun was also present yesterday, and the number of people was more than ours. The purpose of the Xiao is to harass, isn't it that it hurts the enemy five hundred and hurts oneself a thousand?"

Liu Bei also thought of this, overthrowing the original guess, thinking about the deep meaning of the piercing pan flute last night.

Ren Liubei and Zhuge Liang couldn't imagine that Cao Cao's move really didn't have any deep meaning. It was just to "share local specialties", and to pull Zhou Yu and others into the water while "self-destructing" and let them taste the pan flute together. Charm.

Unable to figure it out, the two returned to the situation again. Liu Bei wanted to know how Zhou Yu would deal with Cao Cao's conspiracy. Although the main target of this matter was Sun Jun, after the fall of Jingzhou and the alliance between Liu Bei and the Sun Quan Group, In fact, the Sun Quan Group has a life-and-death relationship with Liu Bei's forces, at least for now.

Zhuge Liang watched clearly, without any sense of tension: "The outcome of this matter has been decided: Zhou Yu immediately went to war with Cao Cao, and Cao Jun, Sun Jun, and our army were in a stalemate. After a long time, Cao Cao retreated."

Before Liu Bei asked in detail, the messenger soldiers came to the account again and reported to them that Zhou Yu had prepared a warship and was ready to fight Cao Cao.

Liu Bei was only surprised for a moment, and then admired Zhuge Liang: "Mr. is predictable again."

The outcome of this battle is actually clear to all three parties participating in the war.

Even if he defeated the Yuan family, pacified Wuhuan, and became the overlord of the north, Cao Cao's rear was still not stable: one after another, the time was short, the foundation was shallow, and there were many hidden dangers; Lu and his face were at peace but his heart was at odds. Even though he had become the only fierce tiger, Cao Cao still dared not be careless when surrounded by wolves.

This also determines that regardless of winning or losing, Cao Jun will not stay in Jiangdong for too long.

Either Cao's army was in full swing and launched a devastating blow to the Sun-Liu coalition army, or the two sides were at a stalemate, and finally Cao's army withdrew because of the instability in the rear.

Both scenarios are possible, but the second is more likely.What's more, from Zhuge Liang's standpoint, he must and can only choose the second one.

At the same time, Cao Cao was reminded by Guo Jia that Zhou Yu had expected to send troops immediately.

Cao Cao also knew that although his side had a numerical advantage and seemed to be stronger than Sun Liu, there were great hidden dangers in many aspects.

But even though he knew that the possibility of eliminating Liu Bei and Sun Quan in one go was extremely small, Cao Cao wanted to give it a try. Even if he couldn't defeat the Sun-Liu coalition army, he would still injure them so hard that they would not be able to recover for several years.

However, there is a gap between the ideal and the reality, because Cao Jun is mostly from the north, not good at water, and even some people get seasick when the boat shakes slightly. With Zhuge Liang's wisdom and wisdom, and with Cao Jun's counselors, each has his own winners and losers. Even if Cao Jun has a large number of people, he is only on par with the Sun Liu coalition army.

After a long time, Cao Cao, who was unwilling to stay in this stalemate and waste money, had no choice but to retreat regretfully under the persuasion of his advisers, and put his desire to beat Liu Bei and Sun Quan into the future.

Cao Cao hoped that if he left like this, the Sun Liu coalition army would immediately disintegrate because of the division of Jingzhou's territory.

Things went as he expected, both the enemy and the alliance were nothing more than interests, and Sun Liu's alliance was quickly broken because of this.

When Cao Jun returned to the north, a man quietly stayed in Chibi and wandered into Jiangdong.

It was Zheng Ping who came to look for the medicine.
