Although Long Fei led the cavalry to reinforce immediately, it was still a step too late. Yu Jin also understood that Wuchang was too close to Sanjiangkou, and it would be impossible to defend it for a long time. After burning Wuchang City, he immediately ordered all the troops to withdraw and board the ship to return to the north bank.
went.
"Cao Cao's trick of secretly attacking Chen Cang is really powerful!" Looking at the raging fire, no one could get close at all. Long Fei had no choice but to stop his troops and stand far away.
More than a dozen Jiang Dongjun, who had their hair burned off, supported each other and cried silently. Dian Wei said angrily: "***, why are you crying? It's all useless for you. You deserve to be burned!"
Zhang Liao called those people over and asked, "Where is your general? Why don't you see him?"
A soldier wiped his tears and shook his head quickly: "I don't know, I didn't see the general during the war. I should, I should..., wuwu..." As he spoke, he started crying again.
"Hey!" Long Fei sighed: "Huang Gai has experienced hundreds of battles, but he allowed Cao Jun to cross the river and succeed in a sneak attack. It's really inappropriate!"
"But General Long?" Suddenly someone shouted in the woods nearby. Zhang Liao and others immediately raised their weapons. Kan Ze quickly stepped out from behind the big tree: "It's me, it's me! Everyone, wait a minute.
Do it!"
Long Fei didn't know Kan Ze, and Xu Shu who was standing by him hurriedly whispered a few words in Long Fei's ear. When Long Fei heard the name Kan Ze, he thought of the hero in Lian Ze who had no fear when facing Cao Cao. Long Fei
He always respected heroes and immediately dismounted: "Mr. Kan is here, Long Fei is disrespectful!"
Kan Ze hurriedly returned the salute: "General Long came so quickly. If he had arrived a quarter of an hour earlier, he could have intercepted Cao's army!"
"Oh?" Long Fei was stunned: "So, Mr. Kan was in Wuchang just now?"
Kan Ze nodded quickly: "General Huang and I are old friends, and I came here specially to visit him. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen! The whole city of Wuchang, which was in good condition, was completely destroyed!"
"Where is Huang Gai? I'm going to chop him alive!" Dian Wei was furious, waving the iron halberd in his hand with the sound of wind: "Cao Cao actually crossed the river to sneak attack, he didn't even have any defense, what a fucking fool
of!"
Kan Ze said hurriedly: "Cao's army was insidious. They sneaked in at night and suddenly rushed out. We had no idea that we fell into Cao Cao's treacherous plan. Old General Huang felt very guilty. If I hadn't persuaded him, he would have killed himself."
Huang Gai frowned and came out of the woods under the protection of several soldiers. Far away, a smell of alcohol blew in the wind to Long Fei. Long Fei glared: "Have you been drinking? The battle is about to begin.
He actually drank alcohol and caused Wuchang to be burned and tens of thousands of people died. Do you know what the crime was?"
"No, no! How can I drink? It was accidentally spilled on me!" Kan Ze explained hurriedly.
Huang Gai threw away several of his personal guards who were supporting him, and pointed a knife at Long Fei: "Who do you think you are? I just drank, it's none of your business! Zhou Yu didn't dare to do anything to me, how can you kill me?"
?”
"You dare to be disrespectful to our boss, watch me kill you!" Dian Wei raised his legs and was about to rush forward, but Xu Huang and Zhang He hurriedly hugged him.
Long Fei was not angry but smiled: "Hehehe, okay! I can't control you, so let the people who can control you control you! Come on, tie up Huang Gai!"
With Long Fei's words, the soldiers of the Dragon Army were not afraid of even the King of Heaven. They rushed up with a roar and knocked several of Huang Gai's guards to the ground. Someone took a rope and tied Huang Gai up into a rice dumpling.
Huang Gai was still cursing. Meng Shuo grabbed a stone from the side and stuffed it into Huang Gai's mouth without looking at it. The sharp edges cut Huang Gai's mouth, and blood immediately flowed down.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Kan Ze lowered his head and said nothing. Long Fei glared at him: "Kan Ze left his post without authorization and drank with Huang Gai. He was also tied up!"
"You're wronged! This matter has nothing to do with me!" Kan Ze kept shouting that he was wronged, but he didn't dare to move and let the soldiers of the Dragon Army tie him up.
In the Sanjiangkou camp, Long Fei sat high on the throne. Zhou Yu beside him was extremely weak. He was lying on a special chair, holding a handkerchief in one hand and coughing constantly. On both sides, the officers of Jiangdong Army and Long Army were silent.
Huang Gai and Kan Ze were standing. Huang Gai and Kan Ze were kneeling on the ground, lowering their heads and not daring to make any sound. The only sound in the whole tent was Zhou Yu's violent cough, which sounded harsh and harsh.
"Captain Zhou, I will leave these two people to you. It is inconvenient for me to intervene in what to do with these two people!" Long Fei nodded slightly to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu stood up slowly, thanked Long Fei with his fists in his hands, looked back at Lu Su beside him, took a deep breath, and suppressed his cough: "Huang Gai, Kanze drank and made mistakes, causing heavy losses to 10,000 soldiers and horses.
, Wuchang City was destroyed..." Zhou Yu thought for a long time and felt that these two people were really difficult to deal with. One was a veteran of the Three Dynasties and the other was an aide specially invited by Sun Quan. If he killed them, he would probably die faster, but
There is no way to explain without killing.
Zhou Yu thought for a long time and closed his eyes: "Come on! Push him out and behead him!"
"Grand Governor, wait a minute!" Lu Su immediately stood up: "This matter has not yet been investigated clearly, so we cannot accept one side's words. Although these two people are wrong, their crimes are not worthy of death. Please have mercy on me, Grand Governor!"
"What's unclear? Wuchang City is an important place. As a general, Huang Gai is not doing well, so he should be beheaded!" Xu Shu, who was opposite Lu Su, said coldly: "There is also this Kan Ze who left his post without permission and went to drink with Huang Gai.
, he is a black sheep. If you don’t kill him, you don’t know who else he will harm!”
"Wish! It's unjust!" Kan Ze said immediately: "This matter has nothing to do with General Huang and me. It is Cao Jun's cunning. We have tried our best. Look at how my robe has been burned!"
Xu Shu smiled: "As a general, you can't guard against a sneak attack and suffer heavy losses, so you still make excuses. What a joke!"
Lu Su looked at Xu Shu: "Mr. Xu, these two people are from Jiangdong. Whether they should be killed or not seems to have nothing to do with you in Jingzhou, right? Why do you have to kill our Jiangdong generals?" Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu: "Grand Governor
Never do anything that makes enemies happy and painful for relatives, so as not to fall into the trap!"
Zhou Yu's head hurt, and he gritted his teeth and coughed violently. A few drops of blood on the handkerchief surprised everyone. Lu Su continued: "We are even more saddened by the loss of Wuchang in Jiangdong. Now that the war is about to begin, kill the general first. It will not be good for the army. Please, please
Grand Governor, think twice."
Zhou Yu glanced at Lu Su: "What do you think, brother Zijing?"
Lu Su thought for a while: "According to military law, if you drink alcohol in the army, you should be beaten with thirty military sticks!"
"Cough, cough, cough cough..." A series of coughs almost killed Zhou Yu. Everyone looked at Zhou Yu and waited until Zhou Yu finished coughing and became a little quieter. Lu Su said again: "This should be the appropriate treatment!"
Zhou Yu thought for a long time, shook his head, and sighed: "Just do what Zijing said. I'm tired and want to go back and rest!"
In front of all the soldiers, Huang Gai and Kan Ze were stripped of their pants and laid on the ground. Four strong soldiers held military sticks and beat them hard on the buttocks.
In just three or two blows, the skin and flesh were already torn open, and blood dripped down the trouser legs to the ground, dyeing the soil on both sides red. Huang Gai was a soldier, and although it hurt when he was hit, he gritted his teeth and remained silent. Kan Ze
After such an incident, there was a series of screams from the first blow.
After thirty military sticks were beaten, the two men were carried to their respective tents by the soldiers like dead pigs. A doctor was waiting for them and gave them medicine. Lu Su became the busiest person in the entire military camp.
They ran into Huang Gai's tent to give him some kind words and comforted him, and they rushed into Kan Ze's tent to give him some kind words as well. Both of them felt that Lu Su was good, and if he was made the governor, he would be much better than Zhou Yu.
After three full days, Huang Gai was able to walk. But Kan Ze was still lying on the couch and humming. On this day, Huang Gai limped into Kan Ze's tent and looked at him.
Kan Ze grunted, Huang Gai cupped his fists and said, "It's all my fault, I made you suffer!"
Kan Ze struggled to get up: "Old General Huang is out. You and I are brothers. As brothers, we should share difficulties and enjoy blessings together. Why do you need to say such polite words!"
The two of them talked about Zhou Yu and Long Fei. When they mentioned them, they became very angry. They wished that Long Fei and Zhou Yu would die now. Kan Ze looked around and waved to serve him.
Everyone got down, moved to the couch, and lowered their voices: "Old General, it's obvious that Long Fei and Zhou Yu are going to kill us. I'm afraid we can't stay in this military camp anymore!"
Huang Gai was stunned: "Where would you go if you weren't here?"
Kan Ze moved closer to Huang Gai and lowered his voice again: "Cao's army is brave, you and I have seen it, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. I heard that the Xiahou brothers in Chang'an are about to defeat Ma Teng. Wait until the Xiahou brothers
If they win, they will definitely send troops to Wuguan. Long Fei's Jingbei may not be able to be saved. Once Jingbei is lost, the real Jingzhou will be over. Cao Cao's two armies on the waterway come together to fight, and even Long Fei may not be able to resist it, let alone our Jiangdong.
!”
Huang Gai didn't speak. He waited for Kan Ze to continue. Kan Ze kept observing Huang Gai's expression. Seeing that Huang Gai didn't understand, he said, "Why don't we go to Jiangbei?"
"What? You want to surrender to Cao Cao?" Huang Gai stood up with a cry and touched his wound. He couldn't help but grinned and looked at Kan Ze with wide eyes.
Kan Ze sighed: "As the saying goes, a good bird will rest in its wood. Jingzhou and Jiangdong will soon be annexed by Cao Cao. Once these two places are lost, the whole world will fall into Cao Cao's hands. By then, how can the whole world surrender?"
Say?"
"That's not okay! I never do anything for the seller to seek glory!" Huang Gai waved his hands repeatedly.
"Old General!" Kan Ze seemed a little anxious: "I'm afraid that if you and I don't leave, we will die in the hands of Long Fei and Zhou Yu sooner or later? What will happen to our family if we die? I intend to cross the river to find Cao Cao tomorrow. If he agrees,
It would be a good thing to go to Cao Ying!"
"But!" Huang Gai still felt a little uncomfortable.
Kan Ze said: "Whether you go or not, I will go tomorrow. Doesn't the old general want to stay here to bury Zhou Yu and Long Fei?"
