In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

At Chibi, the fire raged for two and a half nights.

It finally went out.

The river was covered with wreckage.

Dongwu Water Village.

It was a scene of great fanfare, with drums and gongs beating loudly.

We won.

This was a resounding victory that will go down in history.

Despite being outnumbered, they defeated the enemy with fire, burning down Cao Cao's camps and annihilating 800,000 of his troops.

So far, there has been no news of Cao Cao.

This greatly displeased Zhou Yu.

"Report—"

A scout rushed into the main tent.

"Reporting to the Governor!"

"Cao Cao's army suffered a crushing defeat, with countless casualties."

"But... Cao Cao's body was not found!"

Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat.

"They ran away?"

"Did we lay a trap, or did he escape?"

Lu Su came in from outside the tent.

The expression on his face was strange.

"Commander!"

"We just cleaned up the battlefield and pulled a person out of the river."

Zhou Yu was annoyed:

"Who did they pull out? Cao Cao?"

Lu Su shook his head.

"He is Huang Bing, the son of General Huang Gai."

"He's not dead."

"But he kept crying and begging to see you, saying he had some earth-shattering military news."

Yellow stem?

Wasn't their job to feign surrender and then die with the enemy?

Given his martial arts skills, he shouldn't be able to escape from the inferno.

How...

"Bring it up!"

After a while.

Huang Bing was carried up.

awful.

It's too awful.

He was soaked to the bone, looking like a water ghost.

His left cheek was swollen like a steamed bun (from being slapped by Zhao Yu), and his eyes were squinted into slits.

His body was covered in burns and bruises.

Upon seeing Zhou Yu.

Huang Bing burst into tears.

That was an immense injustice.

"Commander!"

"Commander, you must do me justice!"

Zhou Yu frowned.

"What are you crying about!"

"Was the fire set?"

Did Cao Cao die in the fire?

Huang Bing nodded and shook his head frantically.

"Set it on fire!"

"That fire was burning way too fast!"

"But... Cao Cao didn't die!"

"Cao Cao has been rescued!"

Zhou Yu's eyes turned cold.

"Who? Who rescued them?"

"Zhang Liao? Or Xu Huang?"

Yellow-handled teeth clenched.

"Zhao Yiyu!"

That was pure hatred, without a trace of emotion.

Zhou Yu swayed, thinking he had misheard.

"Who?"

"Zhao Yu?"

"That executioner? That personal guard who carried the fire for you?"

"That's him!"

Huang Bing roared.

"This thief...this thief is too well hidden!"

Zhou Yu felt his mind was a bit confused.

"Wait a minute."

"Didn't he beat your father to death?"

"How could someone as clueless as him possibly save Cao Cao?"

Huang Bing cried out:

"It's fake! It's all fake!"

"He killed my father to gain the trust of the commander-in-chief and to obtain the qualification to go to Cao Cao's camp!"

"He held his position on the ship to allow it to sail deeper into Cao Cao's territory!"

"He set the fire to create chaos, making it easier to rescue Cao Cao and gain his trust!"

Huang Bing pointed to his swollen face.

"At the last moment, I even kindly told him to jump into the water."

He slapped me across the face, sending me flying!

"Then... he stepped onto the red-hot iron chain and rushed ashore."

"Carrying Cao Cao on their backs, they fought their way through the sea of ​​fire!"

"puff--"

Zhuge Jin spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Carry Cao Cao on your back?"

"Cut through the sea of ​​fire?"

"This...is this something a human would do?"

Zhou Yu's face turned deathly pale.

Some of his subordinates had said that there was another extraordinary person who was not afraid of fire, and that even General Han Dang's wounds were caused by that person.

He was still wondering who that person was.

Did not expect ah.

He staggered back two steps.

Support the handsome man's desk.

Everything makes sense now.

Let's start reviewing the events from the day Huang Gai was attacked.

That blow was a sure kill.

At the time, Zhou Yu thought this kid was a hothead, but useful.

Looking back now, it was all to cut off Eastern Wu's retreat! To force Eastern Wu to continue their feigned surrender act to the very end!

Before leaving.

Zhou Yu ordered him to "be buried alive with the dead after lighting the fire."

Zhao Yu agreed so readily.

Looking back now...

That was mockery! It was mockery as if they were looking at a fool!

"You want me to go and die? No, I'm going to bring my new lord home! Even if Cao Cao knows that he set the fire, Cao Cao will only think that he was coerced and will not blame him. The difference in their abilities is obvious."

"ah--!!!"

Zhou Yu suddenly shouted.

He slammed his palm on the desk.

"It hurts so much!"

"I'm so angry!"

A sweet taste rose in my throat.

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

The map on the desk was stained red.

"Commander!"

"Gongjin!"

Lu Su, Lü Meng, and the others were shocked and rushed over to support him.

Zhou Yu's eyes were filled with resentment and venom.

He stared intently at the direction of "Jiangling" on the map.

"Zhao Yu..."

"Zhao Yu!"

"I, Zhou Yu, am confident in my intelligence throughout my life."

"They schemed against Cao Cao and Liu Bei."

"I didn't expect this..."

"I was completely manipulated by the dog beside me!"

"What kind of self-inflicted injury ruse is this!"

"What elaborate scheme!"

"In Zhao Yu's eyes, it was all a joke."

"Use my hand to kill my beloved general and establish your authority."

"Borrow my boat and take him to Cao Cao's camp!"

"Borrow my fire, so that he may accomplish his unparalleled act of saving the Lord!"

Zhou Yu grew angrier the more he thought about it.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like a clown.

Not only did he lose his wife (Huang Gai), he also lost his army.

They even sent Cao Cao's "super bodyguard" to his side.

"Pass on the order!"

Zhou Yu pushed the crowd away.

He swayed as he straightened up.

"Announcement to the six prefectures of Jiangdong!"

"Issue a warrant for Zhao Yu's arrest! Draw his image! Hunt him down with all your might!"

"Who can cut off Zhao Yu's head?"

"I personally praised him for his achievements, and he was promoted three ranks!"

"I want him dead!"

"No matter where he runs to!"

"I will kill him!"

Inside the large tent.

No one dared to speak.

Anyone can see that.

This time, the Grand Commander has truly broken down.

The elegant and refined Zhou Gongjin is gone.

Nowadays,

He is an avenger who has been humiliated to the extreme.

Lu Su sighed.

He thought to himself:

"Just who exactly is this Zhao Yu?"

"Cao Cao had this person assisting him."

"This world... is probably going to be in turmoil again."

……

On the way back to Jiangling.

Zhao Yu is fetching water for Cao Cao.

I suddenly sneezed.

I looked up at the sky.

"Who's insulting me?"

"Zhou Yu?"

"Is it still that kid Huang Bing?"

Zhao Yu shook his head.

It doesn't matter anymore.

The task evaluation has been settled on the system panel.

[Cao Cao was successfully protected.]

[System Evaluation: This time, your reputation is already bad enough.]

Let them curse.

Anyway, Cao Cao is the highest-ranking official right now.

As long as Cao Cao doesn't curse.

Even if the King of Heaven himself curses me, I won't lose a piece of my flesh.
