Kan Ze happily ran into Cao Cao's tent. Cao Cao was worried about how to rescue Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan. Kan Ze was extremely happy, holding the bamboo slips in his hand high, and shouted as he ran: "Lord! Good news! Good news!"
!”
Cao Cao has been a little disgusted with Kan Ze recently. Although he is loyal to him, he has been hanging around in front of his eyes recently, as if he thinks he is his confidant, and his words are neither serious nor serious. Cheng Yu and others have criticized him, feeling that he is his confidant.
Kan Ze is a bit of a villain, and he still hasn't given up on the businessman nature of the Kan family in his words and deeds.
"Ahem!" Cao Cao coughed, and everyone around him looked at Kan Ze with contempt. Maybe it was because Kan Ze didn't see it, or maybe because he didn't care at all, but he still looked like that anyway. He was smiling and flattering.
With a smile like that, he shook the bamboo slips in his hand: "Lord, good news, good news! There is good news for Jiangdong Huang Gai!"
Cao Cao suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "What's the good news?"
"Huang Gai has promised to surrender. He will lead his troops tonight, and with him will come tens of thousands of loads of grain and grass!"
"Oh?" Cao Cao stretched out his hand. Kan Ze hurriedly handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Cao Cao. He stood in front of Cao Cao's handsome case and kept telling Cao Cao what method he used in this matter and how to win over him.
How to use means, how to endure humiliation and bear the burden. He talks endlessly, and the people who listen are particularly upset.
Cao Cao hurriedly read the bamboo slips and nodded with a smile: "Thank you Derun, you have done a good job in this matter. If Huang Gai comes to surrender, it will have a great impact on the morale of Jiangdong Army. Huang Gai is a veteran of the Sun family for three dynasties. If he surrenders to others,
What hope do people have? Hahaha..."
"Yes! My lord is right. If Huang Gai surrenders, it won't take long for Jiangdong to collapse, and we can launch a massive attack! Take Jiangdong in one fell swoop, then sweep across Jingzhou and level Longfei!" Kan Ze was beaming when he spoke, without any trace of emotion.
Put anyone in your eyes.
Dong Zhao hurriedly said: "My lord, Huang Gai is a veteran of the three dynasties of Jiangdong. He has been a general since Sun Jian. Sun Jian died in battle, Sun Ce was almost annexed by Yuan Shu, and Huang Gai never surrendered. This time we have not yet fought against Jiangdong."
First of all, how can Huang Gai surrender? There is definitely a fraud in this matter, it must be a trick by Long Fei, Zhou Yu and others!"
Kan Ze sneered and said: "Zhou Yu, a yellow-mouthed boy, disrespected Huang Gai and humiliated him several times! Huang Gai's nature is like a fiery fire. He did not join forces with Jiangdong and already gave the Sun family face. What's wrong with surrendering now? If the lord doesn't accept it.
, who else is willing to surrender to us in the future? When will Jiangdong be broken?"
"You! You are talking nonsense!" Dong Zhao ignored Kan Ze and continued to say to Cao Cao: "My lord, there must be something wrong with this matter. Please don't be fooled by the villain!"
"Who is the villain? When my lord and I were spying on intelligence in Jiangdong, where were you? When I was born and died, where were you?" Kan Ze seemed to be energetic, and he refused to forgive Dong Zhao: "My lord,
Dong Zhao's words are just to delay the lord's annexation of Jiangdong, and he must be a spy from Jiangdong!"
"Okay, okay!" Cao Cao really couldn't bear it. This Kan Ze is very articulate, and Dong Zhao is not good at talking. How can he be Kan Ze's opponent? Cao Cao waved his hand: "You two are my humerus, and they are all for the strength of our army."
Fight across the Yangtze River as soon as possible. This letter clearly states that Huang Gai will arrive at midnight tonight. We will know whether we really surrender or not!"
The night was still so dark, maybe because it was about to rain, the whole sky was overcast. Thick black clouds completely covered the light in the sky. Cao Cao's camp was brightly lit, and every warship was lit with torches.
The modified warship was indeed much more stable, and the infantry did not feel uncomfortable standing on it. In order to enhance the strength of the navy, Cao Cao dispatched 3,000 archers from the infantry to be commanded by Yu Jin.
Yu Jin looked at the dark river surface, the breeze blowing on his face with a hint of warmth. The northwest wind had been blowing for the past few days, making people shiver from the cold. Today, the wind direction suddenly changed, bringing with it the breath of spring.
, making people feel much better both physically and mentally.
Mao Jie came over with a smile, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and the smell of alcohol spurted out from his mouth. When Yu Jin saw it, his face immediately fell: "General Mao, you actually drink? You are not afraid of military law.
?"
Mao Jie chuckled: "Isn't it just a little wine? What's all the fuss about? My daughter specially sent someone to deliver this from Yecheng. How can I refute her face?"
Speaking of this Mao Jie, he does have two skills. Mao Jie was originally a scoundrel from Puyang, with a rich family and an idle life. After learning some fur warfare and the martial arts of a three-legged cat, he thought he was an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs and would not let anyone go.
In his eyes, he gathered a gang of scoundrels to cause trouble all day long. Mao Jie had two daughters. The eldest daughter married Qiao Rui as his concubine. Relying on this relationship, Qiao Rui gave him the title of captain, which made him even more...
Be unscrupulous.
After Cao Cao came to Dongjun, Mao Jie was the first to join him and gave his second daughter to Cao Pi as his concubine. Cao Cao saw that he had some literary talent and some martial arts. At Cao Pi's suggestion, he made him his concubine.
After two battles, the navy was proud and proud, and Mao Jie also showed his true nature. He became famous because he was Cao Pi's father-in-law. Even Yu Jin didn't look down on him.
Yu Jin snorted coldly: "Humph! The war is about to begin, and you actually drink. What if the Jiangdong Navy comes over at this time?"
"Hahaha..." Mao Jie laughed loudly, raised his neck and said again: "They still dare to come? Our serial warships are invincible in the world. Even the Jingzhou Navy can compete with them. I am worried that they will not come!"
Yu Jin really wanted to go up and slap this guy twice, but he stretched out his hand and then retracted it. Who asked him to be the father-in-law of the lord's son? Yu Jin did not speak, shook his head and sighed. Mao Jie looked at Yu Jin, smiled contemptuously, and said to himself
He raised his head and drank without thinking.
"Report... My lord has an order. Someone is coming to surrender tonight. Let the two generals prepare for it without any mistakes!" The messenger handed Cao Cao's order to Yu Jin.
Yu Jin didn't even look at it and asked, "Who is coming to surrender?"
The ordering soldier shook his head: "I don't know, my lord, I just said that the other party will raise fire as a signal when the time comes. Just pay attention, two generals!"
Yu Jin took a deep breath, glanced at Mao Jie, and handed him Cao Cao's order: "General Mao can only deal with such trivial matters. I still have to patrol the camp!" After that, he turned and left.
The wind got stronger and stronger, the war flags blew wildly, and the torches on the warships also trembled. A little spark jumped out of the brazier, spun around in the air, and flew towards Yu Jin's shirt. Yu Jin didn't
Pay attention, the sparks stuck to the shirt, and when the wind blew, it instantly burned a big hole in the shirt. When Yu Jin found out, there was already a little flame.
Seeing Yu Jin constantly patting the flames on his body, Mao Jie laughed loudly: "Be kind, otherwise God will not let you go!"
A big hole was burned into the shirt, and even the inner shirt was burned, and not a single piece of skin was burned. It was burning and painful. Looking at Mao Jie, he gritted his teeth in anger. Suddenly, there was an ominous feeling in his heart.
, just for a moment, he seemed to think of something, but he couldn't catch it in a flash. Yu Jin shook his shirt, turned around and went to patrol.
Zishi is the darkest time of the day. Standing on the warship, you can only hear the splashing sound of the river water hitting the warship. When you lean down and look down, you can't see anything in the black. Although Mao Jie is arrogant, Cao Cao
He had to do the things he had arranged. He yawned and his head felt a little swollen. After shaking hard, he felt like the world was spinning. His upper eyelids and lower eyelids started to fight. He couldn't hold on any longer.
The guard said: "General, you should go and rest. We are here to see that everything will be fine. When that person comes, we will call you."
Mao Jie really couldn't hold on any longer. It was too late. He was already drunk and staggering around on the boat: "Okay! Open your eyes wide. If something happens, I will never spare you!" He said.
Then, he turned around and went to the cabin to rest.
As soon as Mao Jie entered the cabin, a torch was suddenly lit on the river in the distance, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night. One of the guards was about to go find Mao Jie. He was stopped by an older guard.
He stopped and said, "You are just ignorant. What's the difficulty in receiving the surrendered general? Why bother the general? Can we just do it? Hurry up and send a signal to that group of people!"
Huang Gai stood at the bow of the ship, somewhat nervous. Although this was not his first battle, this sneak attack was related to Jiangdong's life. If Cao Cao found out, he would be Jiangdong's sinner. Sun Jian would never spare him after his death.
. Holding the sword in his hand steadily, Huang Gai's eyes were fixed on Cao Cao's navy in the distance. It wasn't until he saw a torch drawing a circle among a group of torches that Huang Gai felt relieved.
"Sail! Get ready!" Huang Gai ordered loudly.
When Cao Cao learned that Huang Gai had indeed come to surrender, he danced with joy and rushed out of the tent before he could put on his clothes. Kan Ze hugged Cao Cao's clothes and followed Cao Cao to the river, putting on his clothes for Cao Cao. He stood there.
On the high platform of the flagship, Cao Cao looked at the Jiangdong warships that were like arrows flying off the string, and his face was full of joy. At this time, he listened to Kan Ze's flattering words and didn't feel there was anything wrong.
Dong Zhao looked carefully and frowned. Jiang Ji hurriedly asked: "Brother Dong, what's wrong with you? You don't seem happy?"
Dong Zhao pondered for a long time: "This Huang Gai's warship is running too fast, and it doesn't look like a warship carrying grain at all."
"Oh? What could it be used for if it wasn't for carrying grain?" Jiang Ji also looked at it carefully: "Then the densely packed grain bags on the ship should be grain, right?"
"No, no, no, that's not right!" Jiang Ji pointed at the yellow-covered warships: "Look, those ships are all light boats, speeding on the water, and their drafts are very shallow. They are broken! We have fallen into a trap!" Without waiting, Jiang Ji
When he spoke again, Dong Zhao hurriedly rushed to Cao Cao: "My lord, Huang Gai is pretending to surrender. Huang Gai's ship is not loaded with food and grass. My lord, quickly order the navy to intercept it. If you are late, it will be too late!"
Cao Cao was stunned. Kan Ze hurriedly said: "Master Dong, are you dazzled? What could the neat bags on the boat be if they weren't grain and grass?"
