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

If it hadn't been for the discordant winds these few days, and Cao Jun coming too fast, Huang Gai would have used fire to burn Cao Jun's big ship in the name of false surrender, and would never have come to perform such a play in person, trying to stabilize Cao Cao. .

However, Cao Cao's reaction was beyond his expectations. When we met, Cao Cao's first question was neither why he surrendered nor how much sincerity he brought, nor did he ask him about the layout and planning of the Sun-Liu coalition army, but he directly expressed his disgust. .

What do you mean by "not you, let your Zhou Dudu come", is this in human terms?

Although I was puzzled and hesitant, I still had to keep performing this play well.Huang Gai has always been resolute and serious, and he did not show timidity at this time. He said with a dignified expression: "The Lord accepted the letter of surrender, but when he saw Gai, he said, 'You are not a man'. Gai defected to Jiangdong, killed countless guards, Zhou Dudu I am afraid that I have already received the news, so I sent troops to arrest them. Since ancient times, those who descended are like arrows leaving the string, they can go there, but they can’t return. If you don’t see Gai, Gai will not be able to return to Jiangdong, so you have to find another place to go.”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? Just tell Zhou Gongjin: You pretended to feign surrender, and you have gained Gu's trust. Tell him to fight in person, and then trick Gu out, and play 'capture the thief first and capture the king'."

Hearing the word "surrender", Huang Gai's heart skipped a beat.He didn't dare to tell Cao Cao to notice anything abnormal, and he didn't know if Cao Cao had noticed anything, so he forced himself to calm down, pretending to be thinking, and only looked up at Cao Cao when he calmed down completely.

"Zhou Yuying is very sensitive to the police. I was whipped by him and rebelled and returned. I'm afraid Zhou Yu won't believe it."

Cao Cao just waved his hand to let Huang Gai go back: This is your business, anyway, I just want to see Zhou Yu.

Huang Gai returned angrily.When he returned to Jiangdong, Zhou Yu saw that he returned within a day, and he already guessed in his heart: "Cao Cao doesn't believe it?"

Although he did not gain the trust of Cao Cao, Huang Gai was a veteran loyal to the three masters, and it was a blessing to be able to retire unscathed.

Huang Gai told Zhou Yu all about Cao Cao's reaction and request. Zhou Yu only frowned slightly, and a clear expression appeared on his heroic and beautiful face:

"It seems that the feigned surrender is no longer possible. If Cao Cao wants to lead me there in person, he must have a plan. Let's see what he does next, and then slowly overcome it."

As soon as Huang Gai heard that the original strategy was useless, he thought about Cao Cao's weird attitude and strange request, and immediately suggested Zhou Yu not to obey Cao Cao's request, and stay in the rear temporarily, so as not to be harmed by Cao Jun's tricks.

Zhou Yu held the opposite opinion with Huang Gai.He has always dared to be a pioneer in the march, and he did not stay behind the scenes. Besides, Cao Cao obviously had "bad intentions."Otherwise, they are in the open and Cao Jun is in the dark. If they don't know the direction Cao Jun is planning, I'm afraid they will fall into a passive position and be caught off guard.

Just when Zhou and Huang were lobbying each other to no avail, Zhuge Liang, who served Liu Bei, also got the news and rushed there.

Although Huang Gai was very wary of the people on Liu Bei's side, they are allies now. Although Zhuge Liang is young, he has the talent for governing the country. Huang Gai hopes that he can help him persuade Zhou Yu to "put himself first". "You can't sit down", so regardless of Zhou Yu's wink, he concealed important information, told Zhuge Liang Cao Cao's request and Zhou Yu's decision, and asked Zhuge Liang to help persuade him.

Zhuge Liang has a general understanding of the ins and outs. In fact, he also has the same idea as Zhou Yu. If he is in a different place, he will make the same choice as Zhou Yu.

But he certainly couldn't say that in front of Huang Gai. After a little thought, he said to the point, "Cao Bandit is cunning, and we must be cautious in dealing with Cao Bandit. Zhou Dudu is the chief general of the coalition army, and his safety is related to the entire battle situation. If we can lure Cao's army out of the cave while ensuring safety and defeat them in one fell swoop, the battle will be settled."

Huang Gai said: "Don't pretend to follow Cao's bandit's wishes, just like what I said before, pretend to be a scorpion, load grass and oil, and carry out a fire attack strategy. Cao's bandits' soldiers are not good at water warfare, and the warships are connected first. If this plan If it can be done, Cao's army will suffer heavy losses and its combat power will be greatly reduced."

Several people combined together and decided that the two plans should go hand in hand.Zhou Yu went to the front line, and at the same time prepared the fire attack and waited for the east wind.

A few days later, when the wind picked up, Huang Gai sent someone to deliver a letter to Cao Cao, making an appointment for the time and place to make the final disguise for the packed scorpion that was used for fire attack.

The appointed time will come soon.Zhou Yu boarded the leading battleship, and before leaving, he summoned Zhuge Liang by accident.

With the momentum of the river wind, they soon arrived at the river area under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao.The warships guarding the defense along the way saw the mark that Huang Gai had agreed in advance, and did not stop them, and let the dozen or so fast boats pass by.

Overjoyed, Huang Gai and the others immediately ordered the helmsman to speed up and rush towards Cao Jun's location.

Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang did not relax their minds, but they also expected this plan to be easily achieved, so they mobilized all their attention and carefully observed every change on the river.

Before they entered the gathering place of Cao Jun, suddenly, there was a faint sound of silk and bamboo in the distance.

Zhou Yu was extremely sensitive to sound. Almost at the moment when the music sounded, he could clearly catch the sporadic notes and recognized the sound of the pan flute.

After listening carefully for a moment, the expression on Zhou Yu's face was subtly distorted for a moment.

Zhuge Liang, who is also good at piano skills and can hear the sound of pan flutes: "..."

Driven by the strong east wind, the boat flew thousands of miles away, and the faint and faintly audible sound of the pan flute soon became clearer and louder. Every inch is covered in it.

Huang Gai looked at Cao Jun's direction nervously, so he didn't notice Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's abnormality.At this moment, he also heard the increasingly clear sound of the pan flute.As a standard martial artist, Huang Gai, who is not strong in music, just furrowed his eyebrows fiercely, as if a fly the size of a grain of rice could be pinched to death between his eyebrows.

"What song is this, why does it sound like killing a pig?"

For Huang Gai, who has experienced many battles, the sound of this song is at best just a bit unpleasant, which makes people feel irritable, easily restless, and interferes with concentration.

But for Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, who are proficient in temperament, this is tantamount to torture.

And for this torment, they took the initiative to join in, taking advantage of the swift east wind, like moths to a flame, or milk swallows returning to the forest, and plunged headlong into the source of the noise as quickly as possible.

Zhou Yu endured it, but he still couldn't help tearing off the cloth strips on the quiver, divided them into two groups and stuffed them into his ears.

Zhuge Liang also lost his light smile. Seeing Zhou Yu like this, he didn't bother to support himself, and also took off two balls of cloth to add a layer of protection to his ears.

The others followed suit, and finally cut off most of the sound and rescued the tortured eardrums.

Zhuge Liang murmured: "I don't know who is here... playing music."

He didn't really want to use the word playing music, but after a pause, Zhuge Liang, who couldn't find any other description, still chose the most primitive way of saying it.

After he finished speaking, he didn't get a response for a long time, and then he realized that everyone had tightly blocked their ears with cloth strips. Although most of the flute sound was cut off, they couldn't hear each other's words.

He looked at Zhou Yu, just in the eyes of Zhou Yu looking over.

Zhou Yu seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say, and said to him, "This man is highly skilled. The whole piece sounds like he is playing randomly, messy and jarring, but there are traces to follow. Although I don't know what piece he is playing, but according to the pan flute With the usual technique, each note he played happens to be shifted by half a section, and he uses a special technique to make the vibration of the bamboo joints weird and unprovoked, which sounds like the howling of a pig being slaughtered, or haunted by ghosts, It's chilling."

Because of blocking his ears, Zhuge Liang also couldn't fully hear what Zhou Yu was saying.Through the changes in Zhou Yu's lips, he could barely read what the other party had just said, and he roughly recognized that the first sentence was about "excellent skills" or something like that.

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and said to Zhou Yu: "Liang really can't tell what song it is. I heard that the governor is good at music, but do you know its name?"

Zhou Yu didn't realize that Zhuge Liang had misunderstood him.Based on the changes in Zhuge Liang's mouth, he found that what he said was "inaudible", so he said to Zhuge Liang:

"Why don't you listen to it again?"

Zhuge Liang pieced together the word "Bu Luo" based on Zhou Yu's first mouth shape. He thought Zhou Yu meant that the piece played by the pan flute was "Bu Luo", and asked him to identify it again.

Zhuge Liang also talked about the piano piece "Bu Luo", but he thought that the terrible sound of the pan flute just now did not match a single syllable with "Bu Luo".But Zhou Yu said so, as a young junior, he just nodded his head to express his understanding.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished nodding, he saw Zhou Yu say something again, and then reached out and pulled the cloth balls from his ears.

Zhuge Liang who faced the dismal flute sound:? ? ?

At this time, the sound of the flute was playing to a climax, and it was horrible to hear.The hairs on Zhuge Liang's body stood on end, and he didn't know why Zhou Yu wanted to "harm" him like this. After being tormented by the music, he was top-heavy and his blood was pouring down his head, Zhuge Liang became ruthless and removed the cloth from Zhou Yu's ear. Tiao, pull him together to "appreciate" the flute sound that makes people want to lose their ears.

Zhou Yu endured a wave of noise damage, and looked at Zhuge Liang who was also devastated.

Zhou Yu licked his dry water chestnut lips, and said blankly, "Zhuge, why is this necessary?"

With an air of about to ascend, Zhuge Liang said faintly:

"Why the governor?"

Zhou Yu continued to look blank: "It's not that you want to listen to this song again, so I can tell the difference?"

Zhuge Liang continued to ascend to the throne: "The governor thinks very highly of Liang. Although Liang has worked hard to build a hut, he has also given birth to a pair of human ears. Why can't he get along with his own ears?"

Zhou Yu changed his dazed look, and said solemnly: "This song appears strangely, I'm afraid Cao Cao is preparing to leave early."

Zhuge Liang also returned to his normal appearance, as if the erratic feather fan and scarf just now were someone else:

"The matter has come to this point, no matter whether Cao Jun is prepared or not, this plan of fire attack has to be tried."

Others also took off the cloth balls, made the final preparations, pulled the sails to the extreme, and were ready to jump off the ship at any time.

"ignition!"

The fighting ship with several ships full of inflammable materials quickly sailed into the gathering place of Cao's army, and rushed towards their warship unstoppably.

"wrong."

Cao Jun's ships were no longer connected end to end, but two ships connected side by side, divided and scattered, showing flexible mobility.

"Cao Cao is indeed prepared."

"It's okay, we have discussed this situation before, spread out the boats, and attack the big boats in the center first."

The fire has burned a corner, and Cao Jun's fleet is close at hand.
