    The tenth year of Jian'an - summer, the ninth day of April - the Xiaoman solar term, the weather is clear and cloudless, but there is a strong southeast wind!

    During the day, Cao Jun arranged his troops in formation and practiced water warfare. The camp was the same as usual. However, at dusk, after a sumptuous dinner, the soldiers in each department received a military order: "Tonight, no one will take off his armor, nor will his horse be taken off."  Stay in the saddle and be ready for battle!  ¡¯

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    At the same time, Cao Cao, Xiao Yi, Pang Tong and a group of civil and military officials, surrounded by the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", climbed a high slope and looked at the situation on the south bank of the river. Many people showed anxious looks, as if they were waiting.  What?

    It turns out that Huang Gai sent an envoy to Jiangbei half a month ago, intending to bring his troops to surrender. After several discussions, he finally decided to lead his troops to surrender to Cao Ying on Xiaoman Day, which is the second watch today.

    According to the agreement: Huang Gai will first burn the Jiangdong Army¡¯s weapons, food and grass at midnight, and then lead dozens of fast boats straight to the north bank. Cao Jun will be responsible for picking up the surrender and blocking the pursuers from behind!

    After the agreement was reached, the important officials in Cao's camp rejoiced. If Huang Gai could really burn the grain and grass, then Jiangdong's army of more than 100,000 troops would be in chaos within three days. Cao's army would be able to win without a fight. If Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were defeated, Liu Bei and Kong Ming would be defeated.  There is no escape!

    Cao Cao was also extremely proud. He believed that he had good fortune and the enemy generals would surrender on their own initiative. As long as he captured the six counties in Jiangdong, he would be able to unify the world just around the corner!

    After hearing the news, Xiao Yi quickly returned to the camp. He had no opinion on Huang Gai's return and only secretly gave two orders:

    First, let the direct descendants of the Xuanjia Army, the trapped camp, the Danyang Army, and the Student Army clean up the weeds and debris in the camp again, prepare plenty of water, and take all fire prevention measures!

    The second is to order Cai Hao and Zhang Yun's naval forces and chain warships to open the iron ropes to ensure the maneuverability of the ships. At the same time, the gates of the water stronghold are strictly guarded, and no foreign ships are allowed to enter!

    In the original history, Huang Gai faked a surrender and took advantage of the strong southeast winds to use twenty fireships to burn Cao Jun's land and water stronghold, causing Cao Jun's heavy casualties. Is history going to repeat itself?

    But thinking about it carefully, I feel that the possibility is unlikely. Cao Jun had already made preparations for fire prevention when Wulin set up camp. Cai Hao and Zhang Yun were always safe, and the series of warships also made up for the shortcomings. Even if Jiangdong's army used fire to attack, I'm afraid  It's not very effective, right?

    With the wisdom of Zhou Yu and Kong Ming, they would definitely not act rashly if they knew that the fire attack was useless. As for "falsely surrendering to the camp and cooperating inside and outside", it is not very likely, right?

    According to intelligence, Huang Gai's headquarters only has two thousand soldiers. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops, they are simply a drop in the ocean. Even if they enter Cao's camp, they will not be able to make any waves. If they surrender and rebel again, they will be turned into powder in an instant.  That¡¯s it!

    "Is it because of the butterfly effect that Huang Gai really surrendered, or did he have other evil intentions? Xiao Yi couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he could only respond to the changes by remaining unchanged and wait and see how the situation develops!

    As for guarding against false surrender, there was no need for Xiao Yi to remind him. Cao Cao was suspicious by nature and had already made preparations. 50,000 elite armored soldiers were ambushed on the bank of the Yangtze River, and hundreds of navy warships were hidden on both sides.  Among the reeds

    If Huang Gai really comes to surrender, then everything will be easy. They will have fine wine and food, high officials and generous salaries to entertain them. If they pretend to surrender, they will definitely die without a burial place!

    "Kill!¡ª¡ªKill! Kill!"

    "Look, Prime Minister, there's a fire in the direction of Sanjiangkou. I think Huang Gai has raised troops as promised and is burning the enemy's food and grass!"

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Time passed and the Jade Rabbit tilted to the west. It was close to midnight, and there was no movement on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Just when everyone in Cao Ying was anxious, thinking that Huang Gai had temporarily regretted it, something suddenly happened!

    ??In the direction of Sanjiangkou - the fire is soaring into the sky, reflecting the red sky, and there are faint shouts of killing. It seems that Huang Gaizhen has raised his troops, burning the ordnance, food and grass in Jiangdong, and starting a fierce battle with the defenders!

    But, many people felt it. The fire on the south bank was a little smaller, the shouts of killing were very urgent, and there were rumbles of war drums. They should be mobilizing troops. Could it be that Huang Gai had trouble burning food and encountered strong resistance?

    Still, the surrender was leaked, and Zhou Yu mobilized a large number of troops to suppress Huang Gai's rebellion. There was a lot of discussion for a while, and no one dared to judge lightly!

    "Woo!¡ª¡ªWoo! Woo!"

    "There are ships coming from the south bank, and they are all warships from Jiangdong!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Second watch timeThe fire on the south bank gradually weakened and the shouts of killing stopped. However, two fleets appeared on the river, chasing one after another, heading straight towards Cao Ying

    With the bright moonlight, you can vaguely see clearly that there are dozens of boats in front of them, all with cyan flags on them, and an upside-down flag with the word "yellow" hanging upside down. It should be Huang Gai's surrender team!

    Hundreds of warships behind them were flying the general flag with the word "Gan" - facing the wind and waves, trying hard to catch up. Both sides continued to shoot arrows and attack each other's warships. From time to time, someone was hit by an arrow and fell into the river, and the river surface was dyed red with blood

    Judging from the situation, Huang Gai raised his troops as promised, but when he was burning the grain and grass, he encountered fierce resistance from Jiangdong's army. Being outnumbered, he had to grab dozens of boats and cross the river to join Cao's camp!

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

    "Instruct Cai Hao and Zhang Yun, the two commanders-in-chief, to immediately dispatch naval warships to stop the pursuing troops and assist General Huang!"

    "Let Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan's armored soldiers prepare for battle. As soon as Huang Gai's team lands ashore, they will immediately confiscate their weapons and keep them under strict guard. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

    Although he failed to burn the grain and fodder, Huang Gai knew that the reality in Jiangdong was very useful in defeating the enemy. Naturally, he could not ignore it. Therefore, Cao Cao mobilized his troops to respond and prepare for the enemy!

    Winning on the battlefield often involves unscrupulous means. Regardless of the fierce fighting between Huang Gai and Gan Ning, who knows if they are really fighting or are they just pretending to be miserable? This must be guarded against!

    "Boom!¡ª¡ªBoom! Boom!"

    Amidst the rumbling war drums, a large number of Jingzhou naval forces were dispatched. Hundreds of warships formed a two-dragon water formation. They first let go of dozens of small boats, and then blocked the pursuers behind!

    ?? Next, the two fleets fought together, with arrows shooting at each other, boulders flying, and violent collisions from time to time, and then started hand-to-hand combat. Because the sky was dark and the situation was very chaotic, there were many fratricide!

    Although Gan Ning's sailors were brave, they were not superior in numbers, and they were too close to Cao Ying's water stronghold. They inevitably had some scruples in their hearts. Seeing that they could not gain any advantage, they had to withdraw their troops. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun did not pursue them, but also retreated.  Water village!

    At the same time, dozens of boats docked, and hundreds of soldiers disembarked, most of them wounded in battle. The leader, veteran Huang Gai, was wearing heavy armor, holding an iron whip, and his head was full of white hair, but his majesty was not diminished.  , he also received an arrow on his shoulder, and was bandaged randomly with his shirt!

    Unexpectedly, after these people came ashore, they took off their armor and put down their weapons on their own initiative, and then lined up neatly. They behaved extremely well, and they didn't look like they were pretending to surrender at all!

    The officers and soldiers of Cao¡¯s army who were in charge of surveillance felt a little embarrassed. They quickly sent them all kinds of food, helped them bandage their wounds, and secretly checked dozens of boats. There was only a small amount of food and grass on them, and there was nothing suspicious!

    There are various signs that Huang Gai sincerely surrendered. Everyone in Cao camp opened their eyes wide and saw nothing suspicious. If there is any problem, it is that these Jiangdong soldiers are too weak. They are all skinny and some.  He also kept coughing, like a group of tuberculosis ghosts!

    Then again, these surrendered soldiers fled and fought all the way. Many of them were injured and looked a little tattered. This is understandable. Maybe the Jiangdong army was short of food and grass and starved the soldiers. Otherwise, they would have lost weight.  I won¡¯t rebel anymore!

    "Huang Gai, a veteran general from the east of the Yangtze River, came across the river to surrender. He did not succeed in burning food. Please punish him, Prime Minister!"

    "Haha - the old general abandoned his secrets and turned to the bright side, and returned to the imperial army, just like a traitor who went to Zhou Dynasty, or Han Xin returned to Han Dynasty. He made great contributions to the country, the country, and the country. The reward is not enough, how can he be punished?"

    Cao Cao is known as a traitor, and his ability to win over people is no worse than that of the big-eared Ah Fu. He personally led a group of important civil and military ministers to the shore to greet the veteran Huang Gai, and after the meeting, he comforted him with kind words!

    Seeing that Huang Gai was injured and his war robe was torn, he hurriedly sent for a doctor to pull out an arrow for Huang Gai to treat the injury. He then took off his own war robe and put it on Huang Gai himself. The latter was moved to tears.  Hengliu, kneeling down to thank you!

    Next, everyone returned to the Chinese army¡¯s tent, where a sumptuous banquet was held to celebrate the victory of Huang Gai and others. The most important senior officials in Jiangdong had all come to defect to the Cao Ying Group. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu would definitely be defeated!

    During the banquet, Cao Cao also made insinuations and asked about the true and false status of Jiangdong's army. Huang Gai told everything about Jiangdong's situation. He also revealed many military secrets, which made everyone in Cao's camp all suspicious!
