"promise!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Pu and the others were overjoyed and quickly pushed Huang Gai away.
Zhou Yu sat down, his face ashen, a slight smirk playing on his lips, his eyes flashing with intense killing intent.
When Cao Cao learned of Huang Gai's situation, he was somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect Zhou Yu to be so ruthless! He actually wanted to kill Huang Gai directly?"
However, after this incident, Cao Cao became even more convinced that Huang Gai had definitely had a conflict with Zhou Yu, which was why Zhou Yu used it as an excuse to attack him.
"Send someone to contact Huang Gai again!" Cao Cao said with a wave of his hand.
Cao Cao believed that Huang Gai would definitely not refuse this time!
"promise!"
Even after Huang Gai was imprisoned, he remained indignant and continued to curse Zhou Yu.
"Oh dear, Gongfu, what are you doing? Is it worth getting angry with Gongjin?" Cheng Pu sighed.
"Hmph! That brat Zhou Yu is clearly jealous of my talent and trying to frame me! Tell me honestly, how could I possibly betray Jiangdong?"
Cheng Pu shook his head after hearing this and said, "Gongfu, we all believe in you, but with this happening, Gongjin is in a fit of anger."
"well!"
In the end, Cheng Pu let out a heavy sigh!
Upon hearing this, Huang Gai snorted coldly and remained silent. Seeing this, Cheng Pu could only shake his head helplessly and turn to leave the cell.
It was late at night, dark and windy.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Suddenly, a series of rapid footsteps sounded, and several masked assassins rushed into the prison and surrounded Huang Gai.
"General Huang! We are Cao Cao's men, and we have come to rescue you!" said the masked leader.
Seeing this, Huang Gai felt somewhat relieved and asked, "I've said it before, I will never betray Jiangdong!"
The masked man smiled and said, "Prime Minister Cao said that as long as General Huang is willing to surrender, he can spare Sun Quan's life and appoint you as a general to take charge of Jiangdong!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Gai's expression changed drastically: "No way, am I, Huang Gai, some kind of scoundrel who would betray his master for personal gain?"
"General Huang, you are so loyal to Jiangdong, but has that brat Zhou Yu ever shown you even the slightest respect?"
"Furthermore, if we join forces with the Yellow Turban Army and launch a million-strong attack, how long can Jiangdong resist?"
"When the city falls and everyone dies, will the Sun family still be able to survive? But the Prime Minister said that as long as you surrender and help us win, he will definitely spare Sun Quan's life!" the masked man continued to persuade.
Huang Gai hesitated for a long time, then murmured, "Is the Sun family really doomed?"
"Hehe, General Huang, don't hesitate. Surrendering to Prime Minister Cao now is the best choice for you and for Jiangdong!"
"All right!"
Huang Gai sighed and agreed.
Upon seeing this, the masked man smiled with satisfaction and said, "General Huang is indeed a man who knows how to adapt to the times!"
"This is a letter written in the Prime Minister's own handwriting. Please take a look, General Huang!"
The masked man then produced a letter written in Cao Cao's own handwriting!
In the letter, Cao Cao asked Huang Gai to act as an inside agent to help him launch a night attack on the Jiangdong army's warships!
Cao Cao's solution was the same fire attack method used by the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The winds are blowing from the northwest these days, so Cao Cao ordered Huang Gai to set fire to the area. As soon as Cao Cao's army saw the fire, they would set sail directly towards the enemy ships.
After reading it once, Huang Gai nodded and said, "Very well, since Prime Minister Cao is so kind, I will certainly not let him down!"
"Alright, I'll go back and report to the Prime Minister right away!"
The masked man led the rest of the group and quickly retreated!
On the third night, Huang Gai knocked out the prison guards and summoned his old subordinates, saying, "That brat Zhou Yu has gone too far! I've already decided to surrender to Cao Cao!"
His personal guards looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and said, "General! We are willing to rebel with you!"
"Alright, now go and set up the plan. Set the straw boats on fire to signal Cao Cao's army!" Huang Gai said in a deep voice.
Huang Gai quickly made his preparations!
When Cao Cao saw the fire breaking out in the direction of the Jiangdong army, he laughed loudly and said, "It's done! Huang Gai has succeeded!"
Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered an attack!
Soon, several warships sailed downstream, heading straight for the Jiangdong army's warships.
Cao Cao stood on the deck, and his army approached the Jiangdong army. They quickly launched a fierce attack and shot arrows at the Jiangdong army's warships!
Subsequently, Cao Cao's vanguard fleet, consisting entirely of straw boats, set ablaze and charged directly at the Jiangdong army's warships.
In an instant, the Jiangdong army's fleet seemed to be engulfed in a sea of fire.
"Damn it, enemy attack!"
Then, Cao Cao's warships came to meet them. Because of the southwest wind, Cao Cao and his men were not afraid of the fire at all, since the wind was blowing in the direction of the Jiangdong army.
The fire intensified, and the sails of all the Jiangdong army's warships were burned.
But there were no screams. What was going on? Cao Cao frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
Not only Cao Cao, but also his strategists Jia Xu and Xun You, among others, became serious, as they too sensed that something was amiss.
"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!" Jia Xu exclaimed, his expression changing drastically.
"Huh? Even if they fell for the trap, the Jiangdong army's warships have all been burned! And this is a northwest wind!"
No sooner had Cao Cao finished speaking than the wind suddenly changed direction!
Southeast wind! The southeast wind is blowing again!
"No...no..."
Cao Cao's eyes widened in disbelief: "What's going on?"
He originally wanted to replicate the fire attack used by the Yellow Turban Army, but he never expected that the wind direction would change to southeast again!
That's impossible, absolutely impossible!
