The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 319

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai left Zhou Yu's tent.

When the two arrived outside the tent, Cheng Pu asked Huang Gai, "General Huang, what are your plans?"

"Will it be a bit abrupt if I go at night?" Huang Gai said hesitantly, "I don't have any friendship with Feng Ji, so I have to find a reason..."

"Unless General Huang..." Cheng Pu said half a sentence, but didn't say anything more.

He waved his hand and said to Huang Gai, "Forget it, forget it, General Huang just pretends I didn't say it."

"General Cheng just say whatever you want." Cheng Pu hesitated to speak, but Huang Gai became anxious: "I was worried that I would not have a chance to talk to Feng Ji, you have a way, but why don't you teach me? "

"It's not that I don't want to teach you. I just taught you. Would you be willing to do it?" Cheng Pu said, "Even if you are willing to do it, I don't feel good about it."

"What is the solution?" Huang Gai said, "As long as Feng Ji can trust me, even if General Cheng's solution is hard to choose, I will accept it."

"Then let me ask you, what exactly is Feng Ji thinking about crossing the river this time?" Cheng Pu asked Huang Gai.

Huang Gai replied: "What can he think? It's nothing more than persuading Gongjin to surrender to Yuan Shao. I don't say anything else, I only talked about Pengcheng, and the Marquis of Chu sent our family members to Jianye. This meticulousness is not Yuan Shao. It can be compared. He wants to persuade Gongjin? I think it’s a fool’s dream!"

"I think so too, but what Gongjin arranged for you is not to ask you to meet Fengji like this." Cheng Pu said in a low voice, "You have to discuss with Gongjin how to turn against him, so that you can find an excuse to go. See Fengji."

Cheng Pu's suggestion left Huang Gai at a loss as to what to say.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Cheng Pu: "You mean to ask me to turn against Gongjin in public, and then find a chance to meet Fengji. Fengji thinks that if I really want to betray Chuhou, I will probably do so." Believe me."

"Does General Huang have a better idea?" Cheng Pu asked Huang Gai.

Huang Gai pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Cheng Pu: "I'm going to discuss it with Gong Jin."

He turned around and went back to Zhou Yu's handsome tent. Cheng Pu looked back and had to shake his head and leave.

When Huang Gai walked into the commander's tent, Zhou Yu asked him in amazement, "How did General Huang go and come back?"

"I just remembered one thing." Huang Gai said, "I want to see Feng Ji tonight, but I have no friendship with him. No matter what I say, he can't believe it. Is there any way for Gong Jin to make him Did he believe what I said?"

The question he raised really made Zhou Yu difficult.

What Huang Gai said was not wrong, there was no friendship between him and Feng Ji, the best way to make Feng Ji believe him was to find an excuse that could tell the past.

But Zhou Yu didn't think of a way for a while.

In fact, he really thought of a way, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he could only ask Huang Gai: "What is General Huang's plan?"

"I'm just here to ask Gongjin what's his plan." Huang Gai said, "Since I'm required to do something, you have to find a reason for me. If I don't even have a reason, how can I convince Fengji?"

"I can't think of a way for a while." Zhou Yu said: "Or General Huang will wait a little longer. When I think of a way, I will discuss it with General Huang."

"Things are coming to an end, and we still have to think of a way." Huang Gai said a little anxiously: "I just discussed with General Cheng outside, and he meant that I offend Gong Jin in public, and then Gong Jin punished me. With these festivals, Feng Ji can't help but believe."

"What's wrong with General Huang?" Huang Gai's proposal was exactly what Zhou Yu was thinking in his heart. He refused to propose this method, but unexpectedly, the old general in front of him proposed it on his own initiative. He was surprised and asked, "I Why punish General Huang?"

"No reason, just to convince Fengji." Huang Gai replied: "If Gongjin refuses to agree to this condition, I will not be able to complete the task you entrusted."

"I understand what General Huang means." Zhou Yu nodded, and asked with some embarrassment: "I just don't know what the general's plan is? What method will he use to offend me?"

"Gongjin convened a court meeting. I argued with you at the court meeting. You and I fell out on the spot and let someone beat me with a military stick." Huang Gai said his solution without thinking.

Zhou Yu waved his hands again and again: "General Huang used to be a veteran of Jiangdong, but I'm just a kid of the younger generation, how dare I hit the general's army stick?"

"If Gongjin is so hesitant, what are we talking about?" Huang Gai said angrily, "I am willing to bear the baton, not because I want to be beaten. Yuan Shao has many soldiers, and although we have Yanjin, we may not be able to resist it." He. As long as I can convince Fengji that he is really against Gongjin, he may change his strategy. Even if Gongjin offends him in the end, we will have no way to plot Yuan Shao in the future."

What Huang Gai said was reasonable, and Zhou Yu couldn't refute it.

He frowned tightly, and said to Huang Gai: "I understand what the old general means, but I still can't do anything to you..."

"Gong Jin is also a person who has led the army for many years. Why is there such a smudge when it is critical?" Huang Gai was anxious, and said to Zhou Yu: "In order to keep Xuzhou, I am willing to accept punishment. Could it be that Gong Jin doesn't even have a chance to make meritorious service?" Impossible for me?"

"General Huang, don't blame me." Zhou Yu replied, "It's not that I don't want to give the general a chance, I just want me to punish the general in public, whatever I say..."

"If Gong Jin refuses, then I can only die in front of you." Zhou Yu was still hesitating, but Huang Gai drew out his sword and placed it around his neck.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Yu quickly said: "General Huang, please don't do anything stupid. I will agree to whatever you want."

Zhou Yu had no choice but to agree to Huang Gai's request, and Huang Gai returned the sword to the scabbard.

Zhou Yu shouted outside the tent: "Come on!"

Immediately a guard walked in.

Zhou Yu instructed the guards: "Send down the order and call a court meeting immediately to discuss how to deal with Yuan Shao's army."

The guard took the order to leave, and after a while, he came back and reported: "General Qi, I have informed the lieutenant colonel and above to come to the court for discussion later."

Zhou Yu waved his hand, and the guard retreated.

He said to Huang Gai: "General Huang, I will suffer for you later."

"As long as you can achieve great things, what's the point of suffering?" Huang Gai said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about Gong Jin. No one can blame me for what I want."

"General Huang is going to suffer!" Zhou Yu bowed and saluted Huang Gai.

Huang Gai waved his hand graciously: "Don't worry, Gong Jin, how can I blame you for my own decision?"

"General Huang, please dodge first." Zhou Yu said to Huang Gai: "After the court meeting is called, General Huang must delay arriving later, otherwise it will not be easy for me to find a reason to attack."

"Don't worry, Gong Jin, I will come back halfway through the court meeting." Huang Gai cupped his hands, turned and left the tent.

************************************
The court meeting was held suddenly, and everyone came early and late.

When the generals were all seated, Zhou Yu scanned their faces, "Where is General Huang?"

Everyone didn't see Huang Gai, they all looked at each other, but no one responded.

"It's still the old general who said he would hold a court meeting, but he didn't come." Zhou Yu said, "When he arrives, I'd like to see what he can say."

Zhou Yu's tone was not good, and none of the generals said anything.

Only Cheng Pu vaguely noticed something.

He, Huang Gai and others are all veterans who followed Sun Jian in the early years. When they were in Jiangdong, even Sun Ce would give in to them. Zhou Yu was even more respectful to them. He had never spoken of them in front of everyone like the governor. None of them are.

Cheng Pu could only think of one explanation, that is, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai had already discussed, and they had secretly agreed that Zhou Yu would first vent his dissatisfaction with Huang Gai's late arrival, and Huang Gai would contradict him in public. The conflict between the two intensified in public, and it was only logical for Zhou Yu to punish Huang Gai.

Although he knew it in his heart, Cheng Pu couldn't say it out loud.

Zhou Yu then said to the generals: "Fengji came to Yanjin to persuade me to surrender. You all know that I have sent Zhou Tai to Dangshan to ask how to deal with this matter. When Zhou Tai returns, there will be Chu Hou's feedback, the battle between us and Yuan Shao will also start. Please come here to discuss how to deploy defenses along the Yellow River..."

While talking, Huang Gai opened the curtain and walked in.

After he came in, he didn't feel apologetic for being late at all. Instead, he bowed his hands to everyone and said with a smile: "Generals, I'm late."

The generals returned their salutes to Huang Gai one after another, but Zhou Yu asked with a cold face: "General Huang, I just sent an order to you to invite you to come to the court meeting. Where have you been?"

Huang Gai smiled indifferently, and said to Zhou Yu: "I didn't do anything, I just went to the river to have a look. They say that the fish in the Yellow River are plump, and I want to get two of them as a side dish. .”

"The battle is just around the corner. General Huang is so excited that he still has the mind to go to the river to figure out how to get some fish up." Zhou Yu asked with a pale face: "General Huang, I ask you, Yuan Shao is coming soon, do you have any?" A way to defeat the enemy?"

"A way to defeat the enemy?" Huang Gai smiled and shook his head: "What method can I have to defeat the enemy? Yuan Shao has a large number of troops. Although we have confiscated all the ships on the banks of the Yellow River, Hebei has strong financial resources, and it is necessary to get some ships. For Yuan Shao, there is no difficulty. I think Gong Jin doesn't need to think about these things, even if he has to think about it, it's best to think about how to bring us back alive."

"Do you dare to shake the morale of the army?" Zhou Yu glared and asked Huang Gai sharply.

Huang Gai replied: "When did I shake the morale of the army? Please ask Gongjin to explain to me."

"Yuan Shao has not yet arrived, and the two armies have not yet fought, yet you dare to say that the enemy is strong and we are weak." Zhou Yu asked coldly, "Are you not afraid that I will punish you with military law?"

With Zhou Yu's sentence of military law, all the generals broke into cold sweat for Huang Gai, and some even gave him winks.

But Huang Gai didn't appreciate it at all. He glared angrily and asked Zhou Yu, "What did I do wrong that you want to be dealt with by the warlord? I just told the truth that others can see but dare not tell." .Could it be that you have become the chief general and have not even told us the truth?"

"You can tell the truth, but you can't say things that can shake the morale of the army." Zhou Yu said with a cold face: "General Huang, you are also a veteran in the army. Don't you even understand this truth?"

"I don't understand, you understand!" Huang Gai was completely irritated by Zhou Yu's ignorance, and he blushed and shouted thickly: "Zhou Gongjin, I told you that today I am going to the bank of the Yellow River What can you do to me after I go fishing?"

"Disobeying the military order and contradicting the general, your crime is enough to kill you a hundred times." Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said, "If you refuse to admit your mistake to me today, I will definitely not forgive you!"

"Well you Zhou Yu, what if you don't spare me?" Not only did Huang Gai not admit his mistake, but he blushed and confronted Zhou Yu completely: "Don't say it was you, even when the old general was still there, It won't do anything to me..."

"This is not Jiangdong Army, but Xuzhou Army." Zhou Yu stopped Huang Gai and said, "If you refuse to give in, I will let you understand how serious the crime of contradicting the general is!"

"Zhou Gongjin, I also told you, don't scare me just because you are the chief general and chief of staff." Huang Gai also yelled: "If you want to treat me like this, I just ignore you."

With that said, he turned around and was about to walk out of the tent.

Zhou Yu shouted: "Come on! Stop Huang Gai!"

Two guards then walked in and stood in front of Huang Gai.

"What exactly do you want?" Huang Gai turned around, glaring at Zhou Yu and asked.

"I don't want to do anything, but I want you to admit your mistakes in public." Zhou Yu said: "For the sake of Jiangdong Lao Jiang, I won't kill you today, but if you refuse to admit your mistakes to me, I will not forgive you lightly!"

"Whether to kill or not to kill, isn't it on your mind?" Huang Gai sneered and said, "I knew you were not easy to get along with, since you want to kill me, my head is here, just wait You come and get it."

Huang Gai looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, which made Zhou Yu completely furious.

He clenched his fists and stood up abruptly.

"What? Do you want to attack me yourself?" Huang Gai asked coldly.

"Huang Gai, let me ask you, do you admit it or not?" Zhou Yu's tone was very severe when he asked the question, and no one doubted that if Huang Gai answered that he didn't admit it, Zhou Yu would have someone push him out and chop him up.

"I just don't recognize it, so what can you do to me?" The generals were all winking at Huang Gai, but he seemed to have not seen it, and kept his neck and Zhou Yu hard.

Zhou Yu's face was ashen, and his fisted hands were shaking.

He pointed to Huang Gai and said, "Well, you Huang Gai, you're looking for death yourself, don't blame me!"

"Drag Huang Gai out and chop him off!" Zhou Yu gave the order to kill Huang Gai.

Knowing that the two of them did it this time to deceive Fengji, Cheng Pu quickly got up and said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin calm down, General Huang is also upright, he contradicted himself in the misty rain, I hope Gong Jin will not let him go." In my heart."

Cheng Pu got up to intercede for Huang Gai, and all the generals followed suit.

"Don't stop him, let me see what he can do to me?" Huang Gai puffed out his chest and glared at Zhou Yu angrily: "If you have the ability, kill me, and I'll put my words here, Yuan Shao's soldiers are tyrannical, Not to mention you, all of us stepped forward, and we are definitely not his opponents! If you want to forcibly resist Yuan Jun, you are nothing more than taking us all to death..."

"Enough!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and interrupted him: "If the generals hadn't pleaded for you, even if you had a hundred heads, it wouldn't be enough for me to chop off."

"I don't have a hundred heads, just this one." Huang Gai still refused to back down, yelling: "If you are capable, kill me, I want to see how you are in front of us Jiangdong old people Playing with prestige."

Huang Gai still refused to give in half a step, except for Cheng Pu, all the generals were very worried.

From Zhou Yu's face, they could see the anger. If they didn't suppress this emotion, they didn't know what Zhou Yu would do.

Cheng Pu said to Zhou Yu as if trying to smooth things over: "General Zhou calm down, Huang Gai contradicts the general, it is really unreasonable. But if he is killed, it will not benefit the army's morale. It is better to beat him with a military stick and let him Go back and reflect on yourself."

What Cheng Pu said happened to echo what Zhou Yu and Huang Gai had agreed upon in advance.

Zhou Yu's face was cold, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he ordered the guards: "Drag Huang Gai out and beat him with fifty army sticks. If he refuses to accept, turn him over and beat him again!"

Two guards dragged Huang Gai and were about to go out.

Being held up by the guards, Huang Gai shouted: "Zhou Gongjin, you can't succeed. I only let you get some points because you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. I didn't expect you to be so rude to me!"

Huang Gai yelled, but Zhou Yu acted as if he hadn't heard him at all, but with a cold face, he waved his hand to ask the guards to withdraw Huang Gai.

The number of fifty army sticks is not small. Cheng Pu said to Zhou Yu: "General Zhou, please calm down. I know that General Huang's contradictory makes people feel uncomfortable, but after all, he has been in the army for many years, so he should understand some truths. The general wants to beat him, it is him It's his own fault, but if the Fifty Army sticks go down, I'm afraid his life will be gone."

The army stick was heavy and hit the body, if it was hit fifty times, Huang Gai's body might not be able to bear it.

With the step down, Zhou Yu corrected his words: "Hit him with twenty army sticks, let me see if he dares to contradict him."

If Huang Gai hadn't confronted Zhou Yu all the time, the generals could still intercede for him.

However, when Zhou Yu questioned him, he did not give in to confront Zhou Yu, which made Zhou Yu's mood extremely bad in an instant. Except for Cheng Pu, the generals did not dare to say more, for fear of getting angry.

The two guards dragged Huang Gai away, but Zhou Yu still turned blue and did not dispel his resentment.

After a while, he said to the crowd: "This matter is over, don't think too much about it, I beat Huang Gai and he is to blame for it."

In the eyes of the generals, it was extremely difficult for Huang Gaigang to save his life.

If anyone pleads for him more, it may not only fail to absolve him of his crimes, but may even arouse Zhou Yu's fury.

All the generals remained silent, Zhou Yu continued, "Let's continue to discuss ways to retreat from the enemy."

*****************************************
Huang Gai was dragged to an open space in the barracks, where he was beaten with twenty sticks in front of the soldiers.

The beating with the military stick was extremely heavy, but after twenty strokes, Huang Gai was beaten until his buttocks blossomed and he was unable to get up and walk.

After being beaten with the army stick, Huang Gai's followers sent him back to the camp.

Lying in the camp, Huang Gai said to his followers: "Zhou Gongjin treated me like this, and he didn't show me any face in front of the soldiers in the army. I don't need to say anything about friendship with him. You go to Fengji's place at night. Once, ask him to come over and say that I have something important to discuss with him."

The entourage was taken aback, and asked Huang Zhong in a low voice: "The general dare not say that. He just offended Zhou Gongjin during the day. If he listens to these words again, what will happen?"

"It's nothing serious." Huang Gai said, "Just do what I tell you to do, and don't worry about the rest."

Huang Gai was determined to see Feng Ji, but his attendants tried to persuade him to no avail, so he could only let him go in the end.

After Zhou Yu's court meeting was over, Cheng Pu led two soldiers to Fengji's tent.

Standing outside the tent, he yelled inside: "Is Feng Ji right here?"

Hearing someone outside calling his first and last name, Feng Ji came out.

Seeing a Xuzhou general in front of him, and the general looked familiar, Feng Ji asked: "Dare to ask the general..."

"Well, you're so lucky." Before he could finish speaking, General Xuzhou had already stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar: "What exactly do you want to do when you come to our army?"

Cheng Pu grabbed the collar, Feng Ji hurriedly asked: "What is the general doing? How can I offend you?"

"Have you ever offended me? You still don't know?" Cheng Pu glared at him angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "If you hadn't come here, how could General Huang have received so many military sticks for no reason? You How dare you ask where you offended me?"

"Which General Huang?" Cheng Pu grabbed his collar, Feng Ji replied with some guilt: "I don't know any General Huang..."

"I don't know one sentence, so I want to evade the matter." Cheng Pu narrowed his eyes slightly, and grabbed Feng Ji's neckline with more strength.

"The general has something to say, how did I offend you..." Feng Ji was still trying to get the reason why he was provoked from Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu's face was livid, and he clenched his fists to beat him.

Several of Fengji's followers wanted to step forward but did not dare, so they could only stand aside anxiously.

This is the barracks of the Xuzhou Army. If they dare to come forward to help, not to mention whether they can fight or not, even if they don't suffer, the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army will rush forward and beat them to pieces.

Cheng Pu grabbed Feng Ji's collar and was about to drop his fist when he ordered a general to run over and hug him: "General Cheng, the two armies have not yet fought, and the situation is still unclear, so don't dare to beat him up." make."

The one who hugged Cheng Pu was Ling Cao who led Feng Ji and others across the river earlier.

Ling Cao begged for mercy, and Cheng Pu put down his fist unwillingly, gave Feng Ji a hard look, and turned away with the two soldiers.

Looking at Cheng Pu's leaving back, Feng Ji asked Ling Cao in a flustered mood, "General Ling, what's going on?"

Ling Cao glanced at him, and said in a nonchalant manner, "Isn't it a good thing to do on business?"

"What did I do wrong?" Feng Ji said with a blank face: "I don't remember which general I offended, and I haven't even met General Zhou. Why did I offend someone inexplicably?"

"It's better for Feng Gong to be more stable, but don't cause any trouble in the barracks." Ling Cao said: "Once there is any trouble, I can't help Feng Gong."

Cheng Pu was frightened just now, and Feng Ji also knew that what Ling Cao said was not a lie.

He nodded with lingering fear, and said to Ling Cao: "Don't worry, General Ling, I will definitely not cause any trouble."

"Everyone likes to do it for himself." Ling Cao cupped his hands, turned and left.

Inexplicably, he was threatened by Cheng Pu by the collar, trying to get some information from Ling Cao, but Ling Cao refused to leak a word, and Feng Ji was still confused.

But he was not confused for too long.

As soon as it got dark, a follower got into the tent.

Then he whispered to him: "Feng Gong, there are people outside asking to see you."

"Who is it?" Feng Ji was of course very vigilant in the Xuzhou army barracks, he asked his followers. "

"It's General Huang Gai's entourage." The entourage replied: "He wants me to tell Feng Gong that General Huang has a request, and he has an important matter to discuss with Feng Gong."

"Huang Gai..." Feng Ji frowned. He remembered that when Sun Jian was attacking Dong Zhuo, Huang Gai was one of several generals beside Sun Jian.

Now that many years have passed, Huang Gai should be quite old, but he really has no friendship with Huang Gai.

The Cheng Pu who came during the day was also Sun Jian's general.

Feng Ji couldn't understand why an old general wanted to fight and kill him when he saw him, but another old general sent his entourage to invite him, and said that he had something important to discuss with him...

Not too relieved, Feng Ji said to his entourage: "You invite the visitor in, and I will see him before we talk."

The entourage withdrew and led a person into the tent after a while.

The visitor bowed to Fengji: "I have met Fenggong."

"Who are you?" Feng Ji looked at him and asked suspiciously.

"I'm General Huang's entourage. I was appointed by the general to invite Mr. Feng." The visitor said, "General Huang has something important to do. Please don't hesitate to go with me."

"You also know, how can I walk around here?" Feng Ji waved his hands and said, "If General Huang really has a sincere opinion on me, please come here by himself."

"Our general really can't come here in person today." The visitor replied, "The general was hit with a military stick because he contradicted Zhou Yu during the day. Please be sympathetic to the general and come with me."

Feng Ji did hear during the day that a general was beaten with a military stick for contradicting Zhou Yu.

But he didn't expect Huang Gai to be beaten.

If Huang Gai was the one who got the baton, it would be reasonable for Cheng Pu to trouble him during the day.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai have been colleagues for many years, so their relationship is naturally deep.

Huang Gai was hit by the military stick, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. Thinking that something would happen when Feng Ji came to the barracks, he would definitely take his anger out on him.

It seemed that there was a reasonable explanation, but Feng Ji was still not at ease, and asked again: "Why did General Huang suffer from the military stick?"

"The general just went a little late for the court meeting, and was blamed by Zhou Yu, and the two confronted each other at the court meeting." The visitor replied: "Zhou Yu charged the general with disobedience. He killed him, if there were no other generals to intercede, my general's life would be gone now."

Feng Ji didn't see any flaws in what people said.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then said to the visitor: "Go back and reply to General Huang first, and just say that I will go later."

"General Huang said that Mr. Feng is not familiar with the barracks. If he causes trouble by wandering around in the barracks, he will be sorry for Mr. Feng." Please stop making excuses."

The visitor decided to take him to see Huang Zhong together, Feng Ji thought about it and said to him: "That's fine, then I'll have to work."

"Feng Gong, please!" The visitor retreated to make way for him.

Feng Ji stepped out of the tent first.

He looked around and saw that the guard posts of the Xuzhou Army were not close to here, and no one noticed him, so he followed Huang Gai's followers to Huang Gai's camp under the cover of night.

***************************************
Huang Gai's tent was lit with oil lamps, and he was lying on the bedding, turning his head weakly to look at Feng Ji who came in.

Seeing Huang Gai, Feng Ji stepped forward to pay respects: "General Huang, I haven't seen you for many years."

"I haven't seen you for many years." Huang Gai replied, "I didn't expect to meet again, and it would be the scene before me."

"What's wrong with General Huang?" Feng Ji asked with concern: "Why did Zhou Gongjin attack the general? I remember that the general was a veteran of Jiangdong, and he was just a junior who later joined Jiangdong. Chilling?"

"What are you talking about?" Huang Gai sighed and said: "At the court meeting today, he called everyone to discuss how to deal with Duke Yuan's army. There are countless numbers, and we have no chance of winning. He was anxious at the time and started arguing with me. He couldn't argue with me, so he said that I disobeyed the military order and wanted to fight or kill. Fortunately, the other generals pleaded, otherwise my life would not have been ruined. In his hands?"

"If you put it that way, Zhou Gongjin's handling of this matter is really not very kind." Feng Ji said: "No matter what, General Huang is a veteran who once followed General Sun Wentai. Use this method to deal with it."

"Who said it wasn't." Huang Gai sighed and said, "It's a pity that General Sun Wentai left early. We old people have long been penniless in the eyes of Zhou Gongjin and others. How can he remember this?"

Feng Ji sighed with emotion and nodded.

He never asked Huang Gai why he came here.

The moment he saw Huang Gai, Feng Ji actually understood.

When Huang Gai invited him over, he intended to make friends with the Yuan family and completely break with Zhou Yu.

In this situation, the harder he pressed the question, the more impossible it would be for Huang Gai to give him a satisfactory answer.

Instead of asking others, Huang Gai took the initiative to talk to him.

"Feng Gong should already understand why I invited you here." Sure enough, Huang Gai couldn't hold back and asked Feng Ji first.

Having already guessed his purpose, Feng Ji pretended not to understand and asked, "General Huang asked me, why?"

"I've become like this, so why bother to ask questions knowingly?" Huang Gai said, "I invited Feng Gong to come here, just to ask you to introduce me to Yuan Gong. Zhou Gongjin treats me like this, how can I still be under his command?" work?"

"General Huang means..." Feng Ji pretended to be surprised and asked Huang Zhong: "You want to serve our Yuan family?"

"I've heard about Mr. Yuan's benevolence, and I've already planned to contribute." Huang Gai replied, "Back when Sun Bofu led us to retake Jiangdong, I thought at that time that I would follow him for the rest of my life. Unexpectedly, he lost to Lu Bu in the first battle in Wancheng. Not only that, he actually led us all to serve Lu Fengxian. Since the day I arrived in Xuzhou, I have been thinking about how to leave. Seeing the benefits of Sun Bofu, I couldn't bear to leave like this. If it weren't for Zhou Yu's behavior today, I don't know when I will be able to make up my mind."

What Huang Gai said was bleak, but Feng Ji believed it a little.

He said to Huang Gai: "If General Huang really intends to serve the Yuan family, I will introduce him to the lord."

"Thank you, Feng Gong." Huang Gai cupped his hands at him, and then said to Feng Ji: "It was actually a mistake for Feng Gong to come to the army this time, maybe you might not be able to see Zhou Yu in the end."

"Why?" Feng Ji asked suspiciously: "I sent someone to send a letter to Zhou Yu earlier, and he also allowed me to come here. Could it be that he will go back on his word?"

"From the beginning, he never thought of surrendering to the Yuan family. How could he regret it?" Huang Gai said, "Instead of staying here, Feng Gong might as well leave as soon as possible to save his life."

"Feng Ji was astonished, and asked Huang Gai: "Could Zhou Yu still want to harm me? "

"Of course he thought about harming Fenggong." Huang Gai replied, "Why is it that he has been refusing to meet you since you came here? If he had a sincere peace talk, why would he leave Fenggong aside for a long time? ?”

Looking at Huang Gai with a puzzled face, Feng Ji asked, "Since he never thought of making peace with me, why did he let me cross the river?"

"Isn't the reason simple?" Huang Gai said, "He planned to wait until the great war came, and use Fenggong's head to sacrifice the battle flag. Unfortunately, Fenggong didn't realize it at all."

Hearing Huang Gai's words, Feng Ji was startled. He hurriedly asked Huang Gai, "May I ask General Huang if there is a way to save me?"

Huang Gai shook his head: "Now that I have become like this, there is no other way to rescue Fenggong. But I have an idea, maybe I can save Fenggong from danger."

"May I ask General Huang, what's his idea?" Feng Ji asked Huang Gai.

"The general who led Fenggong here is named Ling Cao, and he is the only one in the army who can have contact with Fenggong." Huang Gai said, "I had some kindness for him in the early years, and Fenggong only needs to hand over this thing to him." Give it to him, he should help you cross the river and return to Hebei."

As he spoke, Huang Gai took out something from under the pillow and handed it to Feng Ji.

After taking that thing, Feng Ji put it in his hand and glanced at it.

What Huang Gai gave him was just a wooden sign with the word "Huang" engraved on it.

"This is just my waist card, so it's useless." Huang Gai said to Feng Ji, "But if Feng Gong hands him over to Ling Cao, he will understand that I intend to rescue him. Seeing this With a waist card, Ling Cao will take care of everything, and you don’t have to worry too much about being unable to leave when you are in business.”

"Thank you, General Huang, for your kindness." Feng Ji bowed to Huang Gai and said, "When I return to Hebei, I will definitely tell my lord about the general's benefits. With my lord's temperament, once the general is employed, he will definitely be reused."

"I'm not young anymore, so I don't dare to think about reuse." Huang Gai shook his head: "I just don't want to be bullied for the rest of my life."

"In Hebei, anyone who dares to bully General Huang will bully me." Feng Ji said, "I will definitely make them look good."

"Fang Gong is in the military camp, and he will get into trouble at any time, and I am not a place to talk for a long time." Huang Gai said: "When Feng Gong leaves, my wound should have healed. If Yuan Gong was on the verge of Yan Jin, I will definitely respond internally and help Duke Yuan defeat Zhou Yu."

"With General Huang's words, I have an explanation when I return to Hebei." Feng Ji said to Huang Gai: "The general is right, this is not a place to talk for a long time, I will take my leave first, and when the day comes, the general will go After arriving in Hebei, we will have a good time drinking and chatting again."

"I'm injured, so I can't get up to see you off." Huang Gai said to Feng Ji, "You must be careful on the way back, Mr. Feng."

"Don't worry, General Huang." Feng Ji responded, and then said, "I'll take my leave first."

"It's easy to go!" Huang Gai nodded, and then ordered his followers: "Why don't you send Fenggong back?"

The entourage agreed and sent Fengji away from Huang Gai's camp.

When he returned to his own tent, Feng Ji asked the attendants who came up to meet him: "Did anyone come here to check while I was away?"

"Reporting to Feng Gong, no one came to inquire." The entourage replied.

Feng Ji heaved a sigh of relief when he got the answer that no one came to check.

That night, Feng Ji didn't sleep well.

What Huang Gai said made him worry about this trip.

When he arrived here, he still felt that it was not surprising that he couldn't see Zhou Yu. After all, Zhou Yu was the chief general in the army, and there were many things to attend to. It was not an accident that he couldn't find time to meet him.

But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that this is not the case.

Even if Zhou Yu is the chief general in the army, if an envoy comes from outside, it is not completely free to take time to meet each other.

No matter how busy he was, it was always possible to invite him to say a few words during the meal.

Zhou Yu has no way to go, and there is only one reason for it, that is, he never thought about meeting Feng Ji, let alone having peace talks with the Yuan family.

When Feng Ji came to the Xuzhou military camp this time, he really put himself in danger.

Lying in the tent, the more Feng Ji thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He wished he could tell his followers to leave here immediately.

But he is also very clear that he can't use any of the ships on the shore, and if there are any unusual movements, the Xuzhou army will kill him on the spot.

Taking out the waist card that Huang Gai gave him, Feng Ji looked at it over and over again.

The shape of the waist card is very simple, except for a codified "yellow" character, there are no other decorative patterns.

However, the material used for this waist card is not simple.

Feng Ji recognized that the material used to carve this waist card was nanmu, which is unique to the south.

This kind of wood is very expensive, and it is expensive to use it to carve. It can be seen that Huang Gai's status in Jiangdong was definitely not low in the past.

No wonder Huang Gai would secretly contact him.

He used to follow Sun Jian, and was a man who called the wind and rain for a long time, but now he has to suffer from Zhou Yu's idleness, and it might not be able to bear it for anyone.
