Huang Gai bravely took the lead. At the military conference, he disagreed with Zhou Yu and berated him for being incompetent, showing a strong sense of contempt.
Zhou Yu then ordered Huang Gai to be beheaded.
All the military officers were frightened.
Because Huang Gai was a meritorious veteran!
Only after the generals pleaded with Zhou Yu did he change the punishment to flogging.
Huang Gai was beaten so badly that he was bedridden.
This brilliant performance was precisely for Cai Zhong and Cai He, who were feigning surrender to Wu's camp. When Huang Gai delivered the letter of feigned surrender to Cao Cao, Cai Zhong and Cai He conveniently relayed this false information back to Cao Cao's camp, and Cao Cao believed it without a doubt.
When Huang Gai led his army to surrender, Cao Cao took no precautions whatsoever.
Because Huang Gai also did a very good job.
In his letter, Huang Gai had already made an agreement with Cao Cao that three days later, he would lead his two thousand men, more than ten light warships, countless gunpowder, and tens of thousands of arrows to surrender to Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao saw this, he exclaimed, "Wow, Huang Gai is so sincere!"
As expected, Zhou Yu couldn't hold his temper. With a major battle imminent, he wanted to kill a veteran!
She's still quite young.
He's not as good as Cao Mengde, who has lost more battles in his life than Zhou Yu has traveled by water.
Hmph.
Even if you, Zhou Yu, are unhappy or want to establish your authority, you should at least put up with it a little. Lock this old hero who made a mistake in a corner and deal with him after the battle.
Why keep talking about killing or beating people?
See? This time, Prime Minister Cao got all the benefits for free.
As Cao Cao sailed steadily on the ship, Da Qiao suddenly came to mind again.
Sigh, why doesn't Da Qiao have the same awareness as Huang Gai?
Why couldn't Da Qiao have a fight with Sun Quan's family in Jiangdong?
Why couldn't Da Qiao just take her people and ride a fast boat directly to him?
Cao Cao was daydreaming.
But that's really what Xiao Qiao thought.
In order to defeat Cao Cao, even veteran generals like Huang Gongfu were beaten so badly that they lost face in front of the entire Jiangdong region.
Xiao Qiao couldn't bear it.
She also saw her husband, Zhou Yu, working tirelessly day and night.
And then there was her elder sister! She was already pitiful, and her brother-in-law had died young. She thought she would live a life of wealth and leisure, but unexpectedly, that despicable Cao Cao from the north came to bully the widow.
Xiao Qiao held the dagger in her hand.
The desire to kill Cao Cao was stirring within them.
Everyone was very busy back then.
Because a northwest wind was blowing continuously.
Zhou Yu wanted to change the wind direction, forcing that strategist Zhuge Liang to step forward. Doesn't he boast that he knows everything about astronomy and geography? Zhuge Liang, you old fox, better come out and think of a solution!
Even Zhuge Liang couldn't hold out any longer, so he asked Zhou Yu to build him a Seven Star Platform.
Zhuge Liang was already sitting on the high platform, muttering to himself as he looked up at the sky.
Even a modern soul like Qiao Jingjing, who respects science and the unpredictability of the weather, went to watch the spectacle.
Besides knowing that the weather is unpredictable and that weather forecasts can sometimes be inaccurate even with advanced technology, Qiao Jingjing also knew about artificial rainmaking.
How did Mr. Zhuge artificially change the wind direction?
Does it mean pointing to the sky and giving a command?
Qiao Jingjing was very curious and wanted to see what was going on.
Let's see if it was fabricated by Luo Guanzhong in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or if it's really true.
After all, they were people in ancient times. Although they were from ancient times, their ideas were sometimes quite advanced, and some of their practices were no less advanced than those of modern times.
Qiao Jingjing went to see what was going on with that idea in mind.
Xiao Qiao, being so adorable, made a crucial decision while everyone was busy watching the spectacle, supporting Eastern Wu in a different, dashing way.
Xiao Qiao wore a black cloak and, on a dark and windy night, with the northwest wind whistling, boarded a small boat with her maid.
The maidservant dodged the sentry, steered the boat as if on flat ground, and swiftly sailed away from Jiangdong, heading directly to the other side.
The sentries from Cao Cao's camp on the opposite bank only saw a small boat with a beautiful woman standing on it.
This knowledgeable soldier boldly guessed that the woman was either Da Qiao or Xiao Qiao.
That moment of excitement.
They all forgot to fire their arrows, and they forgot to ask who the newcomers were.
Overjoyed, the soldiers dropped their weapons and rushed to report to Cao Cao:
"Prime Minister! He's here, he's here!"
Cao Cao was discussing with his men how to use the northwest wind to cause trouble for Zhou Yu.
I thought something else had come, but it turns out it was just a beautiful woman.
Xiao Qiao was so brave, with a maid following behind her.
There is only one maid.
Unlike Sun Shangxiang, who had dozens of maids with swords at her side, there was no Sun Shangxiang.
There was no one like her elder sister Qiao Jingjing, whose action unit was the protective formation of four thousand elite soldiers behind Ling Tong and Lü Meng.
Xiao Qiao had only herself and a maid who rowed the boat and lit the lamp for her.
Cao Cao was surprised.
Cao Cao's team was also surprised.
Cao Cao never met Xiao Qiao, but he met Da Qiao ten years ago.
"Mrs. Qiao?"
Cao Cao tried calling out a name.
Xiao Qiao had already walked up to Cao Cao, and from a distance of about ten feet, she gave him a slight bow.
"Prime Minister Cao, I am well. Xiao Qiao greets the Prime Minister!"
Then, Xiao Qiao stood there.
Cao Cao's eyes were glued to the viewer.
This girl has a different kind of charm compared to that girl, compared to Da Qiao.
She may appear delicate, but she is resolute at heart.
That's how it is; the two sisters have different tastes.
Hey! How could such a beautiful woman have been allowed to go from the north to Lujiang back then, only to be taken advantage of by those two fools, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu?
Cao Cao was drooling inside.
