Summary of the previous chapter: Although Sun and Liu have confirmed their alliance, they actually have their own preparations. Ma Xiaoquan has not guessed the thoughts of Zhou Yu and Sun Quan for the time being. However, Ma Xiaoquan has guessed the thoughts of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. In order to give Liu Bei a foundation after the war, Ma Xiaoquan
Ask Zhou Yu for extorting a sum of money as Liu Bei's starting capital...
Zhuge Liang was very happy and immediately told Liu Bei. Liu Bei was overjoyed after hearing this and would kneel down to Ma Xiaoquan no matter what.
Having long been accustomed to the etiquette of this era, Ma Xiaoquan did not stop him. As the "Shangxian Lord", Ma Xiaoquan needed something to convince these people. Although he now knew the location of the solar recorder, Ma Xiaoquan still wanted to stay a little longer.
If my son leaves again, I won’t grow old anyway.
Furthermore, the Battle of Red Cliff has been quite controversial in history, and Ma Xiaoquan also wanted to witness the real Battle of Red Cliff with his own eyes.
Now that you're here, you can't miss it.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and helped Liu Bei up and said: "Xuande, please get up quickly. You should thank Zhou Yu for this, but now is not the time."
Zhuge Liang came over to offer advice: "Master Shangxian and my lord can announce the city to the outside world and say that they made a bet, and then Master Shangxian lost the bet..."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and pointed at Zhuge Liang: "You kid, you are such a thief. Okay, then I will act as you say!"
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei looked at each other and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Immortal!"
...
Ma Xiaoquan extended five fingers to Zhou Yu without saying how much he wanted. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu gave Ma Xiaoquan ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
Looking at the treasure in front of him, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Ma Xiaoquan's expression was naturally caught by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu stepped forward and said: "Master Hou stretched out five fingers. I think five is twice as much. Wouldn't it be better to make a perfect one?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Gong Jin, these ten boxes of jewelry must be Zhongmou's treasures, right?"
Zhou Yu nodded: "Yes, my lord is really desperate this time! Therefore, I hope that the Marquis will not hesitate to teach me!"
Zhou Yu's words contained a hint of threat. Regardless of whether Ma Xiaoquan accepted the jewels or not, he would have to give an account.
Of course Ma Xiaoquan would not be so stupid that he would not even ask for money: "Very good, Gong Jin is also a cheerful person. I like to deal with cheerful people. Come to Gong Jin, come over and I will tell you a plan..."
..”
Zhou Yu leaned over and Ma Xiaoquan muttered a few words in Zhou Yu's ear.
After hearing this, Zhou Yu was a little surprised and asked: "Master Hou, can it be done?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Just do it, you will definitely succeed!"
Zhou Yu asked again: "What happens after it's done?"
Ma Xiaoquan whispered a few words into Zhou Yu's ear again.
This time, Zhou Yu was even more surprised: "Absolutely not, it's a bit too risky..."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Now you and Cao Cao are either going to die or I will die. Are you taking risks? This is nothing at all. Gong Jin, how about it? Do you want me to be your lobbyist?"
Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
...
At night, Ma Xiaoquan sneaked to Huang Gai's tent.
Zhou Yu was very strict in running his army and required every general to stand guard in front of his tent, even across the dangerous Yangtze River.
Ma Xiaoquan finally managed to lure away the guard, and then he sneaked into the tent.
Although Huang Gai was asleep, he never left his armor or his sword, which proved the prudence and loyalty of the old general Huang Gai.
Ma Xiaoquan patted Huang Gai gently, then jumped back a step.
Huang Gai raised his head and slashed in the direction of Ma Xiaoquan.
Unfortunately, Ma Xiaoquan had already jumped out of Huang Gai's attack range.
"who?"
Ma Xiaoquan lit the candles in the tent and whispered: "I am the Duke of the General, the Immortal Marquis!"
"Master Hou?" Through the candlelight, Huang Gai saw a purple-haired man standing in front of him.
At this time, the footsteps of guards suddenly sounded outside the tent. Seeing that the guards were about to enter the tent, Huang Gai immediately shouted: "Don't panic, everyone. The thief just now was beaten away by me. You all should perform your duties." !”
Hearing that nothing was going on inside the tent, all the guards shouted in unison: "Yes!"
...
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Huang Gai approvingly and gave Huang Gai a thumbs up.
Huang Gai, on the other hand, looked at Ma Xiaoquan in confusion.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled softly and whispered: "Does General Gongfu know why I'm here so late?"
Huang Gai shook his head and responded: "Does the Marquis want to kill me?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Kill you? There is no need. I came here tonight to ask the general for public prosecution! Of course, this matter was also ordered by your governor."
Huang Gai frowned: "Master Hou, please tell me!"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand, took out a white scroll from his arms, and threw the white scroll into Huang Gai's hand.
Huang Gai took the white scroll, unfolded it and took a look, his eyes widened immediately.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "I have brought you the words to publicly overthrow the general. As for whether to do it or not, you can decide for yourself!"
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan blew out the candles in the tent, and then he heard several muffled "bang bang bang" sounds coming from outside the tent...
The next day, the whole army held a meeting. Zhou Yu sat astride the throne with a sword and a golden horse, and asked about the training status of his generals.
Huang Gai stepped forward and said: "Captain, someone broke into my tent last night and I beat him away!"
Zhou Yu frowned and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan beside him. He was secretly happy, but on the surface he said seriously: "Can you see what this person looks like?"
Huang Gai shook his head: "This man is very skilled in martial arts. I strengthened my guard afterwards. Unexpectedly, when I woke up this morning, I still found that my guard outside the tent was knocked unconscious by him!"
Zhou Yu was a little surprised and thought to himself: This demon seems to be doing nothing, but he didn't expect to be so powerful. It's a pity, it's a pity that he doesn't have the heart to conquer the world, otherwise I will definitely persuade him to assist the lord in conquering the world.
Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Old General Huang, did you bring those guards from your hometown?"
Huang Gai showed displeasure and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by the Governor's words?"
Zhou Yu snorted coldly: "I have told you a long time ago that I told you to step up training of your hometown guards, but you just didn't listen!"
Huang Gai was reluctant to hear this: "What do you mean by the governor, all the men in Quanling are useless?" Huang Gai was from Quanling, Lingling, which is today's Lingling District, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. Zhou Yu spread his hands and waved. I looked innocent and said: "Old General Huang, you are too sensitive, but you are also old!"
Zhou Yu's words immediately stimulated Huang Gai's nerves. Huang Gai roared with red eyes: "Zhou Xiao'er, when my old lord and I were fighting for the world, you were still drinking milk from your mother's arms..."
"Presumptuous!" Zhou Yu slammed the table angrily, stood up, pointed at Huang Gai and shouted, "Come on, kick Huang Gai out!"
Huang Gai didn't resist, and he was grabbed out by Zhou Yu's guards while holding his neck.
"You all should leave too!"
The generals saw it and had no choice but to leave the camp.
After everyone left, Zhou Yu's face, which had been "red with anger", suddenly turned white again.
Zhou Yu asked Ma Xiaoquan beside him: "How is it, Master Shangxian, how was my performance just now?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "It's just a little short, we have to add more fire!"
Zhou Yu said hey: "How to add fire?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved, and Zhou Yu came over...
At night, when several of the guards under Zhou Yu's tent were having dinner, they talked about what happened during the day.
One of the guards said: "You don't know that the Governor was choked by General Huang today."
"Why are you choking? Tell me quickly!"
"Today..."
In fact, what happened during the day is very simple to say, and there were not too many twists and turns. The conflicts between the generals started very early.
It's a pity that as long as something is spread more by people, the taste will change, and the versions will also increase. What was originally a simple story turned out to be Huang Gai speaking ill of Zhou Yu.
Two nights later.
Sitting in the camp, Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly and said to Ma Xiaoquan: "Master Marquis, I have heard no less than ten explanations today. If this continues, our military morale will soon be unstable. How can we talk about fighting?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "Well, the time is almost here. Gong Jin, if you mention this matter during the meeting tomorrow morning, I believe that Old General Huang will definitely cooperate with you."
At this moment, Zhou Yu had no choice but to retreat even if he was still unwilling.
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay!"
During the meeting the next day, Zhou Yu raised the matter as Ma Xiaoquan said, and the main target was Huang Gai, who had contradicted him two days ago.
Huang Gai is old and has a bad temper. When Zhou Yu asked him, he said very bachelorly: "I didn't say it, even if I did, so what?"
When Zhou Yu heard this, he immediately stood up, pointed at Huang Gai and cursed: "Huang Gongfu, don't rely on your old age to show off, you are going too far!"
Just as Huang Gai was about to contradict Zhou Yu again, other generals immediately stopped him and advised him not to be impulsive.
But Huang Gai didn't listen. He put aside the Wu general who was pulling him, put his hands on his hips and said, "If you have the ability, you and I will have a try. If you win, I will admit it!"
Zhou Yu was so angry that he immediately drew his sword and tried to chop Huang Gai.
The generals were frightened and quickly left Huang Gai to pull Zhou Yu away.
Zhou Yu dropped his sword, shouted out the guards on the left and right, and held Huang Gai up: "Come on, pull this old man down and chop him down. Damn it, it's messing with our military morale! Old guy! You're an old immortal! You're so shameless."
of......"
Zhou Yu cursed dozens of nouns starting with "老", which made Ma Xiaoquan beside him a little surprised.
Huang Gai didn't show any weakness. When Zhou Yu called him "old", he would say "little". Those who are too young to die or those who are too shameless will not live to be 34 years old...
Ma Xiaoquan opened his mouth, wanting to tell Huang Gai, "Gongfu, with just such a sentence, you really cursed the governor of Zhou to death..."
