Jian'an ten years - summer, the ninth day of April - small full solar term, the weather is sunny, cloudless, but there is a southeast wind!

During the day, Cao's army arranged troops and practiced the methods of water warfare, and the camp was the same as usual, but at dusk, after a sumptuous dinner, the officers and men of all departments received a military order: 'Tonight, no one will take off their armor, and the horse will not leave the saddle, and be ready to face the battle!' ’

A military order fell like a mountain, although the soldiers did not know why, they were still quickly dressed neatly and ready for battle, and some people also discovered that there were many bonfires tonight, and they were exceptionally bright!

At the same time, Cao Cao, Xiao Yi, Pang Tong and a number of important civil and military ministers, surrounded by the 'tiger and leopard riders', climbed a high slope and looked at the situation on the south bank of the river.

It turned out that half a month ago, Huang Gai sent an envoy to Jiangbei, intending to bring the people of the headquarters to surrender, and after several consultations, it was finally decided to lead the troops to return to Cao Ying on Xiaomanri, that is, today's second watch.

According to the agreement: Huang Gai will first burn the ordnance, grain and grass of the Jiangdong Army at midnight, and then lead dozens of clippers straight to the north bank, and the Cao Army is responsible for receiving the obedient and blocking the pursuers behind!

After the agreement was reached, the important ministers of Cao Ying rejoiced, Huang Gai could really burn the grain and grass, then the Jiangdong army of more than 100,000 horses, within three days will inevitably be in chaos, Cao Jun can win without a fight, if Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are defeated, Liu Bei and Kong Ming will also be in trouble!

Cao Cao is also very proud, thinking that he has great luck, and the enemy generals will take the initiative to surrender, as long as he takes the six counties of Jiangdong, the unification of the world is just around the corner!

After learning the news, Xiao Yi quickly returned to the camp, but he didn't say anything about Huang Gai's surrender, and only secretly gave two orders:

The first is to let the Xuanjia Army, the trapped camp, the Danyang soldiers, and the student army ...... The descendants of all departments cleaned up the weeds and debris in the camp again, prepared a lot of clean water, and did all the fire prevention measures!

The second is to order Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's sailors, and the serial warships to open the iron cables to ensure the mobility and flexibility of the ships, and at the same time strictly guard the gate of the water village, and not a single foreign ship is allowed to enter!

In the original history, Huang Gai used a fraudulent plan to surrender, and with the help of the windy weather in the southeast, he used 20 fireships to burn the Cao army's land and water village, resulting in heavy casualties in the Cao army.

But thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is unlikely, as early as when Wulin was encamped, Cao Jun was ready for fire prevention, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have been safe and sound, and the serial warships have also made up for the defects, even if the Jiangdong army attacks with fire, I'm afraid it will not have much effect, right?

With the wisdom of Zhou Yu and Kong Ming, knowing that the fire attack is useless, they will definitely not act rashly, as for 'deceitful surrender into the camp, the inside should be combined with the outside', the possibility is not great, right?

According to intelligence, Huang Gai's headquarters is only 2,000 soldiers, compared with hundreds of thousands of Cao troops, it is simply a drop in the ocean.

Could it be that because of the butterfly effect, Huang Gai really came to surrender, or did he hide other evil intentions, Xiao Yi couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he could only respond to all changes and wait and see the development of the situation with no change!

As for the matter of guarding against fraudulent surrender, there is no need for Xiao Yi to remind him, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature and has long been prepared, 50,000 elite ironclad soldiers are ambushed on the bank of the Yangtze River, and hundreds of warships of the navy are hidden in the reeds on both sides......

If Huang Gai really comes to surrender, then everything is easy to say, he has his own wine and food, high-ranking officials are hospitalized, and if he surrenders, he will ensure that they die without a place to be buried!

"Kill! --Kill! Kill! ”

"Prime Minister, look, there is a fire in the direction of Sanjiangkou, and I want to come to Huang Gai to raise troops at the appointment, and he is burning the grain and grass of the enemy!"

……………………

Time passed, the Jade Rabbit was slanting westward, it was close to midnight, and there was no movement on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Sanjiangkou direction - the fire is soaring, reflecting the red sky, and there are faint shouts to kill, I think Huang Gai really raised his troops, and is burning Jiangdong's ordnance, grain and grass, and started a fierce battle with the defenders!

However, many people felt it, the fire on the south bank was a little smaller, the shouting and killing was very urgent, and there were rumbling war drums, it should be the deployment of troops, could it be that Huang Gai did not burn grain smoothly and encountered strong resistance?

Or the matter of surrender was leaked, Zhou Yu mobilized a large number of people and horses, and was suppressing Huang Gai's rebellion, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, and no one dared to judge lightly!

"Woo! --Woo! Woo! ”

"There are ships coming from the south bank, all of them are warships from Jiangdong!"

………………

At the second watch, the fire on the south bank gradually weakened, and the shouting and killing stopped, but the two fleets appeared on the river, chasing one after the other, and came straight to the direction of Cao Ying......

Through the bright moonlight, you can vaguely see that there are dozens of ships in front, all of which are planted with cyan flags, and there is an upside-down 'yellow' general flag, which should be Huang Gai's surrender team!

Hundreds of warships behind them, then hung the "Gan" word general flag - facing the wind and waves, struggling to catch up, the two sides continued to shoot arrows rain, attacking each other's warships, from time to time someone fell into the river with arrows, and the blood stained the river all the way......

Judging from the situation, Huang Gai raised troops as agreed, but when he burned the grain and grass, he encountered fierce resistance from the Jiangdong Army, and he was outnumbered, so he had to rob dozens of boats and cross the river to Cao Ying!

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were furious and refused to let go of this traitor, so they sent the first brave general Gan Ning to chase and kill, and the two fleets chased and fought all the way, gradually approaching the north bank of the river!

"Order Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the two governors, to immediately dispatch naval warships, stop the chasing soldiers behind, and answer General Huang!"

"Then order Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan's ironclad soldiers to be ready for battle, as soon as Huang Gai's team comes ashore, they will immediately collect their weapons and strictly guard them, and those who dare to resist will not be killed!"

Although the burning of grain and grass failed, Huang Gai knew that Jiangdong was virtual and real, and it was very useful for breaking the enemy, so naturally he could not see death without help, so Cao Cao mobilized people and horses, which was not only to respond, but also to take precautions!

Winning on the battlefield is often unscrupulous, don't look at the fierceness of Huang Gai and Gan Ning's fighting, the ghost knows that they are really fighting, or pretending to be bitter, this has to be guarded against!

"Boom! --Boom! Boom! ”

In the rumbling war drums, a large number of naval troops in Jingzhou were dispatched, hundreds of warships and warships, and a two-dragon water array, first letting go of dozens of boats, and then stopping the pursuers behind!

Next, the two fleets fought together, with arrows raining each other, boulders flying, and violent collisions from time to time, and then hand-to-hand combat, because the sky was dark, the situation was very chaotic, and there were not a few cannibalisms!

Although Gan Ning's sailors were brave, they did not have an advantage in numbers, and they were too close to Caoying Water Village, so they inevitably had some scruples in their hearts, and they couldn't take advantage of it, so they had to collect their troops and go back.

At the same time, dozens of ships docked, and hundreds of soldiers came down, most of them were wounded in battle, and the veteran Huang Gai was the leader - wearing heavy armor, holding an iron whip, with white hair and unabated majesty, and an arrow on his shoulder, which was indiscriminately bandaged with his battle robe!

Unexpectedly, after these people went ashore, they took the initiative to take off their armor and put down their blades, and then lined up in a neat line, behaving extremely well-behaved, not at all like a fraudulent surrender!

The soldiers of Cao Jun, who were in charge of surveillance, were a little embarrassed, and hurriedly sent all kinds of food to help them bandage their wounds, and secretly checked dozens of boats, which only had a small amount of grain and grass on them, and nothing else suspicious!

All kinds of signs show that Huang Gai really surrendered, Cao Ying's eyes widened, and they didn't see anything suspicious, if there is a little problem, it is that these Jiangdong troops are too weak, one by one, skinny, some people still cough, like a group of sick ghosts!

Then again, these soldiers fled all the way and fought all the way, and many of them were injured and looked a little tattered, which is also excusable, or the Jiangdong army was short of food and grass, and the soldiers were starved and thin, otherwise they would not have rebelled!

"Jiangdong veteran Huang Gai, I have come to cross the river and return to Shun, the burning of grain has not been completed, and I ask the prime minister to punish him!"

"Haha--the old general abandons the darkness and surrenders to the light, and returns to the imperial army, just like Weizi Ben Zhou, Han Xin returns to Han, there is a great merit to the Jiangshan Sheji, and the reward is not too late, how can it be punished?"

Cao Cao is known as a traitor, and his ability to win people's hearts is no worse than the big-eared Ah Fu, who personally led a group of civil and military ministers, went to the shore to greet the veteran Huang Gai, and appeased him with kind words after meeting!

Seeing that Huang Gai was injured and his robe was torn, he hurriedly asked someone to find Lang Zhong, pulled out arrows for Huang Gai to treat his injuries, and took off his own robe and personally put it on Huang Gai's body.

Next, everyone returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, where a sumptuous banquet was set up to celebrate the success of Huang Gai and others, and the first veteran and important ministers of Jiangdong came to defect to the Cao Ying Group, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu will undoubtedly be defeated!

During the banquet, Cao Cao also knocked on the side, asking about the reality of the Jiangdong army, and Huang Gai knew everything and said everything, explained the situation in Jiangdong clearly, and also revealed a lot of military secrets, so that the suspicions of everyone in Cao Ying were gone!

From beginning to end, Xiao Yi has been watching coldly, and he didn't see any problems, neither a fire attack nor a fraudulent surrender, could it be said that Huang Gai really surrendered, or there was a bigger conspiracy?

Support the genuine version, the baron is going hungry!
