Chapter 130 Cao Cao's plan 7
Lu Su and Kong Ming walked back together, complaining that Kong Ming would not plead for Huang Gai and was ruthless!
Kong Ming discovered that Lu Su didn't know that this was a bitter plan. It seemed that Zhou Yu had limited trust in Lu Su, so it was necessary to mention Lu Su.
So Kong Ming said to Lu Su: "Zijing doesn't need to lie to me anymore. Did Governor Zhou use tricks to Cao Cao and never tell you every time?"
Looking at Lu Su's lonely expression, it was obvious that he had a feeling in his heart. Kong Ming saw a rare opportunity. Not only did he tell Lu Su that beating Huang Gai was Zhou Yu's bitter plan, but he also further explained:
"How can we hide it from Cao Cao without having to do anything bitter? Now we must ask Mr. Huang to surrender, but teach Cai Zhong, and Cai He will report the matter!"
Lu Su was originally very smart, but he was too lazy to guess Zhou Yu’s meaning, so he was concealed by Zhou Yu’s plan every time and felt a little disappointed in his heart. The relationship with Zhou Yu was no longer as close as before!
Zhuge Liang was not the only one who saw through Zhou Yu's bitter plan, but also Huang Gai's friend, counselor Kan Ze.
He knew that Huang Gai had always been a pro-war faction, but this time he suddenly turned into a surrender faction and contradicted Zhou Yu for no reason, so he had already expected eight or nine points.
Kan Ze went to Huang Gai's residence to visit him. Huang Gai did not mean to hide his intention and told him calmly, begging his friend Kan Ze to go to Cao's camp to offer a letter of surrender. Kan Ze happily received the promise.
Kan Ze hid his book of false surrender in his body, and ignored the cold at night, crossed the river overnight. At the third o'clock in the morning, he reached Cao's Water Village.
After seeing Cao Cao, Kan Ze took out Huang Gai's letter of surrender and handed it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was familiar with military books. After reading the book of false surrender, he had already seen through Zhou Yu's plan. He warned Kan Ze:
"Huang Gai used a bitter meat plan to make you surrender and surrender, but he dared to come and insult me!"
Cao Cao didn't quite believe in Huang Gai's surrender, mainly because of the news he received. Huang Gai was a firm pro-war faction, and this sudden change of mind was naturally unbelievable!
Cao Cao began to interrogate Kan Ze, hoping to find the flaws.
Fortunately, Kan Ze was eloquent and extremely courageous, so he finally convinced Cao Cao and successfully offered a false surrender.
Although Cao Cao was convinced by Kan Ze in words, he still had doubts in his heart, so he wanted to send someone to confirm the news.
Originally, Cai Zhong and Cai He were able to convey these messages successfully into the Jiangdong Military Camp.
I think it is impossible to hide the fact that Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, but Cao Cao has other uses for them and does not want to lose the big picture because of a small matter!
Therefore, Cao Cao gathered a group of advisers to discuss: "Huang Gai of Jiang Zuo was responsible and ordered Kan Ze to surrender: All of them cannot be believed. Who dares to go straight into Zhou Yu's village and find out the truth?"
None of the generals and strategists here stepped forward. Cao Cao patroled around with his eyes and finally stopped on Jiang Gan.
Jiang Gan didn't want to go to Jiangdong again, because last time he brought back a fake letter from Zhou Yu to Cao Cao, which made a smile, but caused quite a lot of trouble to himself!
Who knew that Zhou Yu had such a shallow plan, the cunning Cao Cao was defeated!
Cao Cao killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and no one in the army dared to gossip, but how could anyone bear the fault of Zhang Yun's murder of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun?
I don’t know who had a lot of imagination and thoughts. After knowing that Jiang Gan brought the letter back from Zhou Yu, he took the blame on Jiang Gan without any discretion!
But they were so sure that the facts could not be denied, so Jiang Gan couldn't argue!
Fortunately, Cao Cao was an insider and did not hold him accountable. Moreover, he was treated very well, which moved Jiang Gan!
Now that Cao Cao's eyes fell on him, Jiang Gan was not easy to pretend to be stupid, so he had to stand up and say:
"I went to Jiangdong in the past day and had not succeeded, and I felt deeply ashamed. I am willing to sacrifice myself and go back again, and be honest and repay the Prime Minister."
What Cao Cao wanted was Jiang Gan's words. He was very happy when he heard this, for fear that Jiang Gan would repent, so he immediately ordered Jiang Gan to board the boat.
Jiang Gan still took the little boy and two servants riding boats to the edge of the Jiangnan Water Village, and sent someone to report it.
When Zhou Yu heard that Jiang Gan was coming again, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "My success is only for this person!"
Then he asked Fu Lusu: "Zijing, go and invite Pang Shiyuan to come, and do this for me."
Pang Tong of Xiangyang, whose courtesy name was Shiyuan, was very famous in Jingzhou. He was known as Feng Chu and was as famous as Zhuge Liang. He traveled to Jiangdong and also had the intention of finding a wise ruler.
Because Pang Tong also loved military tactics, when he was studying at Lumen Academy, Pang Degong taught according to his aptitude and mainly taught other military strategies, while Zhuge Liang focused on political strategies.
This is also Pang Degong's selfish intention, which allows his nephew and Zhuge Liang to have their own strengths and go hand in hand!
When Pang Tong traveled to Jiangdong, he naturally had to find someone to argue. He didn't even like ordinary generals, so he went directly to Panyang Lake to find Zhou Yu to discuss.
Of course, Zhou Yu would not argue with him personally, but the generals under his subordinates, including Lu Meng, were defeated by Pang Tong.
Although it was a talk on paper, Zhou Yu looked at him with admiration and was about to recommend Pang Tong to Sun Quan personally, but he was afraid that he would misunderstand it, so he kept him for further test.
Because during the debate, Pang Tong attached great importance to the discipline of the army and emphasized that orders must be enforced, so that such an army can be easily used.
Therefore, Zhou Yu asked Pang Tong to temporarily serve as the legal master, but outsiders did not know that Pang Tong was responsible for the implementation and interpretation of military law during training, which was recognized by Zhou Yu!
This time, Zhou Yu brought Pang Tong to the decisive battle with Cao Cao, and temporarily used it as a private think tank and recommended it to Sun Quan after the war.
After Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang confirmed that there was a fire attack plan, he also asked Pang Tong: "What strategy should we use to defeat Cao?"
Pang Tong said to Zhou Yu: "If you want to defeat Cao's army, you must attack with fire; but on the surface of the river, a ship caught fire and the remaining ships scattered; unless you offer a series of plans and teach him to nail it, then the work can be accomplished."
Zhou Yu was deeply convinced of his argument, so after Kan Ze successfully presented a false surrender letter, he believed that the one who offered a series of plans was Pang Tong!
Because Pang Tong is known as Feng Chu in Jingzhou, and he has not joined any camp, he has no relationship with Liu Bei and Sun Quan. He will not be suspected of giving advice to Cao Cao, and will definitely be adopted.
Therefore, Zhou Yu found Pang Tong and discussed the matter of asking him to go to Jiangbei to offer advice.
Pang Tong still wanted to participate in this battle with Cao Cao, but he was quite sorry because he had not joined Jiangdong yet.
Now that he has the opportunity to offer advice, Pang Tong did not refuse, but suggested that he could not find the level of advancement for the time being...
His concern is reasonable. Pang Tong did not really seek refuge with Cao Cao, and he could not run over to offer advice to Cao Cao for no reason. He had to find a chance to meet.
As long as he has the opportunity to talk to Cao Cao, Pang Tong will definitely be able to bring the topic to this war. He will find another reason and present a series of plans in an understatement. He will also be sure to convince Cao Cao to use this series of plans!
