Zhuge Liang and Lu Su entered the tent under the protection of Zhao Yun and others, and saw Cao Cao standing above and Wei Zhongdao sitting upright in the left column.

When Cao Cao saw Zhuge Liangsheng's majestic appearance, extraordinary handsomeness, feather fan and turban, and unparalleled elegance, his eyes lit up, and he became more admiring and fond.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Su glanced at Cao Cao with extremely indifferent expressions, and then turned their attention to Wei Zhongdao, with a bit of curiosity and solemnity in their eyes. They were defeated by this man.

Wei Zhongdao was dressed in a green robe, lazily, his body was slightly curled up, his eyes were slightly squinted, as if he hadn't woken up, his face was a bit gentle, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a bit of a smile. He is harmless to humans and animals, but who would have known that this man was actually Cao Cao's chief schemer, conquering most of his territory and becoming the overlord of the north.

"Zhuge Liang has met Cao Sikong and Wei Taichang!"

"Lu Su has met Cao Sikong and Wei Taichang!"

The two of them bowed and saluted at the same time, their expressions as usual, without the awe of ordinary prisoners. They were the top counselors in the world, and naturally had their own pride and integrity. Even if they were defeated and captured, the worst possible outcome would be death, so they had no fear. .

"Gentlemen, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat quickly!"

Cao Cao was thirsty for talents. He knew that the two of them were talented, so he treated them with great courtesy and enthusiasm. He quickly stretched out his arms to indicate that they did not need to be polite.

On the other hand, Wei Zhongdao looked calm, glanced at the two of them, and responded softly.

"Um!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes were clear, he stared at Wei Zhongdao, bowed his hands and said.

"Wei Taichang's clever calculation convinced me that I would be defeated!"

Wei Zhongdao shrank his body and found a comfortable position. His expression was still calm, but he looked at Zhuge Liang who seemed a little dissatisfied. There was no wave in his eyes and he did not answer. He treated Zhuge Liang like air, which made Zhuge Liang feel a little unhappy. .

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Cao Cao quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere and said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhuge, I have heard about you for a long time and have wanted to meet you for a long time. Today I finally got my wish!"

Zhuge Liang then moved his eyes away and looked at Cao Cao, with a bit of disgust and alienation in his bright eyes. He had a bad impression of Cao Cao, thinking that he was a traitor and a thief of the country, so he helped Liu Bei and wanted to help He resurrected the Han Dynasty and achieved great achievements in military affairs, but he did not expect that he was captured by Wei Zhongdao before he was defeated.

In Jiangdong Water Village, in Zhou Yu's main tent, Zhou Gongjin was sitting in chief, and the generals were sitting on both sides. Seeing that the three-day period had come, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su still hadn't arrived, and there was a cold light in Zhou Yu's eyes. He wanted to Let's see how Zhuge Liang escaped this time.

After waiting for no one for a long time, Zhou Yu couldn't hold himself back and ordered people to summon Zhuge Liang and Lu Su. After a while, the soldiers returned and whispered in Zhou Yu's ear.

Zhou Yu's expression changed drastically, he stood up suddenly, raised his foot angrily, kicked down the desk in front of him, and shouted sternly.

"Zhuge Kongming, being so clever, actually caused Zijing to be captured. It's simply abominable!"

The generals were shocked and asked what happened, which made Zhou Yu so angry.

Zhou Yu then sighed, his anger still lingering, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly.

"Zhuge Liang and Lu Su drove a boat to Cao Ying's water stronghold. The straw boat borrowed arrows, but Cao's army saw through it. Now he has been captured!"

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Zhuge Liang to do this. He was so clever that he was mistaken for his cleverness.

In the large tent of Cao Jun's water stronghold, only Wei Zhongdao and Cao Cao were here. Zhuge Liang and Lu Su had already gone down and were being closely guarded.

Wei Zhongdao stretched his waist and yawned. Then he straightened his expression and suggested to Cao Cao.

"Now that Zhuge Liang and Lu Su are captured, Zhou Yu will definitely be wary and ask Sikong to order Cai Zhong and Cai He to go to Jiangdong Water Village to fake a surrender!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes flashed with deep thought. After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"Cai Zhong and Cai He are Cai Mao's younger brothers. It would be appropriate to go there and pretend to surrender. Zhou Yu should believe it!"

Wei Zhongdao shook his head, leaned forward a little, and analyzed calmly with wisdom in his eyes.

"Cai Zhong, Cai He are not allowed to surrender this time with their children, otherwise they will really surrender to Jiangdong!"

Cao Cao nodded and killed Cai Mao. Cai Zhong and Cai He were shocked and confused. If they were allowed to take their children to pretend to surrender, they would definitely have different intentions.

Wei Zhongdao calmed down and continued.

"Zhou Yu is very resourceful and will definitely think of this. He will definitely not believe that the two of them are sincerely surrendering. He will definitely use the two of them to convey false news to us. He will even kill the two of them to sacrifice the flag on the day of dispatching troops!"

Cao Cao frowned and kept stirring his fingers. He was a little confused about what Wei Zhongdao meant. He looked at Wei Zhongdao doubtfully and asked.

"In that case, what's the purpose of Zhongdao asking the two of them to surrender?"

"Cai Zhong and Cai He are both Cai Mao's younger brothers. They are hidden dangers to us. We just used Zhou Yu's help to get rid of them and further weaken the Jingzhou family's influence on the navy. On the other hand, the two pretended to surrender. It is to let Zhou Yu see through it, lower Zhou Yu's vigilance towards us, and develop contempt for us."

Cao Cao suddenly understood Wei Zhongdao's plan and couldn't help but sigh to himself. It was really clever. Even he would never have thought that Wei Zhongdao asked the two to surrender just to eliminate dissidents and lower Zhou Yu's vigilance. What a wonderful grasp of human nature.

Cao Cao acted according to Wei Zhongdao's plan and gave Cai Zhong and Cai He some instructions, and they went to Jiangdong Water Village to feign surrender.

Zhou Yu was indeed fooled, saw through the two men's false surrender, and used the two men to spread false news. He felt a little more contemptuous and arrogant towards Cao Jun. He was plotted by Wei Zhongdao, but he didn't know it.

Zhou Yu and veteran Huang Gai decided to use the bitter meat plan and the fire attack plan again. They were very satisfied and believed that they would be able to defeat Cao's army this time and show off their power.

Zhou Yu and Huang Gai acted in a play, and punished Huang Gai in public, beating him with a hundred sticks. The allusion of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai was left, and one was willing to be beaten and the other was willing to suffer. All the generals were kept in the dark and did not know the truth.

Kan Ze, whose courtesy name was Derun, was from Shanyin, Kuaiji. His family was poor and studious, and he worked as a domestic worker. He borrowed books to read and had a photographic memory. He was quick-thinking and courageous. He was called by Sun Quan as a staff officer and had the best relationship with Huang Gai. Huang Gai knew that Kan Ze was eloquent and courageous, so he asked him to go to Cao Ying to present a letter of surrender.

Kan Ze readily agreed and said to Huang Gai, who was seriously injured and lying on the bed.

"When a man lives his life, if he cannot make any meritorious deeds, he will rot like the grass and trees! If you sacrifice your life to repay your master, why should you live a small life?"

That night, Kan Ze dressed up as a fisherman and drove a small boat toward the north shore. It was a cold night and the sky was full of stars. At the third watch, we arrived at Cao Jun's water stronghold.

Kan Ze paid homage to Cao Cao, presented Huang Gai's letter of surrender, and said.

"Huang Gongfu is an old minister of the third generation of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. He was beaten by Zhou Yu for no reason in front of all the generals. He was very angry. He wanted to surrender. In order to avenge today's revenge, he specially ordered me to come and ask for surrender. Gongfu and I are of the same flesh and blood. , offer him a letter of surrender. I wonder if Sikong is willing to accept it?"
