Chapter 181 The Death of Huang Zu
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Cai Zhong was about to catch up with Sun Quan's ship, and his heart was so happy that he was about to explode. At this moment, a soldier suddenly pointed at the north bank and shouted: "General, the water village has caught fire."
Cai Zhong turned around and saw that the fire in their water village was soaring into the sky, the smoke rolled, and the fire continued for several miles, swallowing the entire water village. Cai Zhong was shocked. He suddenly realized that he had been trapped in the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, and he was so anxious that he shouted: "The warship turned around"
But it was too late, and only the drums were heard, and the sound of killing sounds were heard on the river surface. Warships from all directions surrounded him and rushed towards him. Cai Zhong was so scared that he sat on the ground. He realized that he had caused a huge disaster.
Cai Mao was awakened by soldiers while sleeping. He heard that the water camp had caught fire and Jiangdong's arms ship rushed in from all directions. He was so anxious that he cursed: "Why didn't that idiot in Caizhong stop it?"
"Military advisor, General Cai was tricked to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He was tempted by someone pretending to be Sun Quan. The defense was empty, and Jiangdong Army......"
Cai Mao yelled in anger, kicked the soldiers who reported the letter and ordered: "Give up the warship, all soldiers will quickly go ashore."
Cai Mao summoned more than 16,000 soldiers and rushed to the ashore. At this moment, a shout of killing broke out in the woods on the shore. Zhou Yu personally led 5,000 troops to kill. Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng, the left army, Pan Zhang, and thousands of Jiangdong soldiers instantly rushed into the Jingzhou army.
Most of the Jingzhou army fled ashore from their dreams, and their armor was not worn and their weapons were not taken. The Jiangdong army suddenly killed them and caused chaos. The Jingzhou army trampled on each other and everyone rushed to escape. Without any resistance, they were quickly defeated, and countless surrendered.
Cai Mao pretended to be a soldier in the chaos and fled from the battlefield. He did not dare to stay and fled back to Xiangyang directly.
On the south bank, Jiangdong Water Village, Sun Quan stood on the big boat with his hands behind his hands, looking at the fire in Jingzhou Village, he was very happy and turned around and smiled at everyone, "It is worthy of being Zhou Lang. With just raising his hands, the reinforcements in Jingzhou were wiped out."
The master Bo Cheng Bing smiled and said, "Since Cai Mao has been defeated, why not take advantage of this opportunity of high morale and act in one go to wipe out Huang Zu."
Sun Quan nodded and ordered his personal soldiers to "pass the order to Zhou Yu, and there is no need to pursue the defeated army. The entire army will prepare for war tomorrow and encircle and suppress Huang Zu."
.........
If Huang Zu is compared to an animal at this time, he is a trapped beast. Since Chang Huangzhe defeated Wuchang, Huang Zu realized that the end of the world was approaching, especially when Sun Quan killed all the Huang family, what Huang Zu felt was not angry, but a kind of inner trembling, which made him panic all day long and drown his sorrows by drinking all day long.
In the room, the guard Ding Ping carried a jar of wine to Huang Zu. Huang Zu carried the jar of wine, poured a large bowl of wine, and then waved his hand and ordered Ding Ping to retreat. Ding Ping was the first Huang Zu's guard and a relative of his aide Jiang Qi. He gained Huang Zu's trust because of exposing Su Fei and became Huang Zu's confidant guard.
He quickly retreated. At this time, the door of the big tent was opened with a sound, and Su Fei walked in anxiously. Ding Ping was shocked and hurriedly hid behind the tent.
Su Fei was originally Huang Zu's deputy general, Huang Zu's left and right arm. However, last year, he failed to attack Chaisang, and Huang Zu suspected that Su Fei had surrendered to Liu Jing secretly, and he was not allowed to take charge of the army anymore, and only gave him a free position.
This time, Jiangdong launched a large-scale attack on Jiangxia. Su Fei advised Huang Zu several times, but Huang Zu never ignored it. Su Fei had just received the news that Cai Mao was defeated. He was anxious and rushed in desperately.
"Does Shoo still have the intention to drink now?" Su Fei stomped his feet in a hurry.
Huang Zu glared at him fiercely, threw the wine bowl hard, and cursed: "With my consent, you dare to break into my big tent. Are you tired of living?"
"Shou, Cai Mao has been defeated, Sun Quan is summoning a large army, and the fire is on the rise."
"What?" Huang Zu was scared and sweated in cold sweat. He woke up immediately after drinking. He couldn't say a word for a long time.
At this time, Su Fei sighed and said, "Bizhi also received another news. Liu Jing took back Chaisang, captured Lu Meng, and defeated Jiangdong Army. Beizhi believed that if Shu and Liu Jing cooperated with each other now, they might be able to protect Jiangxia, guard and withdraw their troops to Chaisang."
Huang Zu slowly walked forward, suddenly grabbed Su Fei's clothes, stared at him viciously and said, "I understand now that you are the undercover agent Liu Jing is placed beside me, right?"
Su Fei also shouted with hatred: "I have devoted all my efforts to guard the situation and have no selfishness, but Shu said that I have ulterior motives, so how can I bear it?"
Huang Zu sneered and shouted: "Comeone comes"
Dozens of personal soldiers snatched in, Huang Zu pointed at Su Fei and said, "Drag this person out and beat him to death with sticks."
Dozens of personal soldiers dragged Su Fei down like wolves and tigers, and Su Fei cursed: "Zu Huang, kill me today, and you will die tomorrow."
"Drag it out and beat it to death" Huang Zu yelled furiously.
At this moment, Jiang Qi hurried in and knelt down and said, "Shou Huan's anger, now is not the time to kill him."
Huang Zu sat down heavily, took a breath and said, "Why isn't it time to kill him?"
"Shou, Su Fei has a great reputation in the army. Killing him now will inevitably shake the morale of the army and will not help defending and fighting the Jiangdong army. It is better to take him into prison first and then kill him later."
Huang Zu was in a state of confusion. He also felt that Jiang Qi's words had some truth, so he ordered: "Don't kill him for the time being, detain me, and kill someone else's head in two days."
Jiang Qi advised again: "Now that Cai Mao's army is defeated, the Jiangdong army will inevitably attack us in large numbers. If we fight against the water, our army will definitely be defeated. It is better to abandon the ship and go ashore than to defend the defense and use the advantage of the territory to confront the Jiangdong army. If the situation is unfavorable, you can also withdraw from the Nanjun from the land and think what is the matter?"
Huang Zu pondered for a long time and finally nodded and agreed, "As long as he said."
.........
Huang Zu gave up his warship and withdrew his troops ashore. He divided 15,000 people into two battalions, and one battalion was commanded by his son Huang She, and was stationed west of Xiakou.
He himself led 10,000 people to station in Xiakou, and the two battalions were ten miles apart. According to Huang Zu's idea, if he was unfortunately defeated, he could retreat to Huangshe Camp and lead the last 5,000 people to escape to Nanjun, with some capital in his hands.
At night, Jiang Qi walked back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back. Seeing that Huang Zu was about to die, how could he not think of a way to protect himself? He didn't want to bury Huang Zu. At this time, his son Jiang Nan hurried into the big tent and bowed to him, "Did your father look for me?"
Jiang Qi nodded and said to his son: "I want to surrender to Jiangdong. You can go to Jiangdong camp for me to meet Wu Hou and express my wish."
He took out a letter and a gold medal and handed it to Er, and instructed: "Letter to Wu Hou, the gold medal can be entered and exited the camp at will."
Jiang Nan nodded and walked quickly. Jiang Qi looked at the distance and sighed softly.
.........
Sun Quan was already asleep, but when he heard that Huang Zu's confidant Jiang Qi sent an email, he immediately put on his clothes and ordered someone to bring Jiang Nan in. Jiang Nan came in and kowtowed and bowed, saying, "The villain met with the Marquis of Wu."
Seeing that he was quite young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, Sun Quan smiled and said, "Where is your father's letter?"
Jiang Nan hurriedly took out the letter and submitted it. Sun Quan took it and read it. In the letter, Jiang Qi was quite humble and willing to serve Jiang Dong. Sun Quan pondered for a moment, took out a pen and wrote four words and handed it to Jiang Nan, "Give this letter to your father, he will know at a glance."
Jiang Nan left, and Sun Quan immediately ordered: "Let Zhou Yu come to see me quickly."
.........
Jiang Qi took the letter from his hand and opened it. There were only four characters on it. Huang Zu's level. He took a breath. Sun Quan actually wanted Huang Zu's level. This was difficult to deal with.
Jiang Qi was walking around the big tent. He really didn't want to bear the name of killing the master, but this was another condition offered by Sun Quan. If he didn't kill Huang Zu, Sun Quan would not be able to use him. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to leave.
Jiang Qi gritted his teeth, "Forget it, if you don't care for yourself, heaven will be punished by the earth."
For the sake of wealth in the second half of his life, he took the initiative.
Jiang Qi immediately said to his confidant, "Go and find Ding Ping to see me."
.........
Ding Ping seemed to be worried when he came out of Jiang Qi's tent, and many things were indeed unpredictable. He had accepted Liu Jing's order and ordered him to find a way to become Huang Zu's guard again. When Huang Zu escaped, he killed Huang Zu on the other side. This was the task given to him by Liu Jing, but he did not expect that Jiang Qi would let him kill Huang Zu tonight and cut off Huang Zu's level to him.
This made it difficult for Ding Ping to do. He didn't know if this violated Liu Jing's order. Liu Jing asked to kill Huang Zu after the defeat. Although it was all about killing Huang Zu, the timing was different.
Ding Ping returned to Huang Zu's tent. He was on duty tonight and was serving Huang Zu. At this time, Huang Zu was drunk and snored loudly. Ding Ping sat in front of Huang Zu's bed in a daze. At this time, he was really easy to kill Huang Zu, but what if he killed Huang Zu
There are more than a dozen Huang Zu's personal soldiers outside the tent. How can I get out of it?
I don’t know how long he sat, Ding Ping stood up, he brought a basin of water, and took a thick stack of bristled paper from the table. He wet a piece of paper and carefully pasted it on Huang Zu’s mouth and nose. Then another piece was posted, seven or eight pieces in a row. At this time, Huang Zu could no longer breathe, his face was swollen and red, and he began to struggle instinctively.
Seeing that Huang Zu was about to wake up, Ding Ping was very anxious and pulled out Huang Zu's sword, raised it high, gritted his teeth, and slashed it hard at Huang Zu's neck. The big skull rolled down from the bed.
Ding Ping hurriedly covered Huang Zu's body with a quilt, found a food box, poured out the partitions and chopsticks inside, put them on a head, and walked out of the big tent.
"The lord wants to drink, so I'll get some wine and food."
He said vaguely, then hurried to Jiang Qi's tent with his food box...
Just as Jiang Qi left the camp, the Jiangxia army camp suddenly became chaotic. Huang Zu was killed. The news spread throughout the camp in an instant. The soldiers lost their fighting spirit and began to flee.
Su Fei was detained in the back camp, with his hands tied up and guarded by several Huang Zu's personal soldiers. At this time, he heard shouts in the camp, and there seemed to be chaos.
Su Fei didn't know what happened. It was when he was surprised that Ya General Zhang Shuo led Yu people to kill Huang Zu's personal soldiers.
Zhang Shuo rushed into the tent, cut off Su Fei's rope, and said anxiously: "General, Huang Zu was killed by Jiang Qi, the army has no master, and there is chaos. Let's ask the general to take charge."
Su Fei was shocked. He immediately realized that the danger was approaching and immediately said: "Hurry and lead the soldiers to retreat south, the Jiangdong army is coming soon."
Everyone rushed out of the tent, and Su Fei turned over the horse. At this time, there was chaos in the northeast direction. Zhou Yu led 10,000 Jiangdong Army to break into the Jiangxia Army camp from the northeast corner. Sun Quan also suspected that it was Huang Zu's plan and did not dare to send more troops. He only sent Zhou Yu to lead 10,000 troops to wait on the periphery. Until he saw Huang Zu's head, Zhou Yu believed and ordered the army to attack.
Su Fei was anxious and ran away and shouted, "Brothers, follow me to retreat south and go quickly."
Su Fei had a high prestige in the Jiangxia army. When he echoed, the soldiers of the Jiangxia army who were in chaos seemed to see a bright light in the dark. Thousands of people followed Su Fei to flee south, and the Jiangxia army camp was in chaos.
