Chapter 331 Huang Gai offers a plan.

After Zhuge Liang left, Zhou Yu was happy, and Zhou Yu said to Lu Su: "What we, Mr. Kong Ming, want is really something to pray to God and worship the rain."

Lu Su thought to himself that if he had a severe drought in previous years, when he asked those capable people to ask for rain, he would prepare these things. But after all, isn’t Zhuge Liang a capable people a stranger?

"Zijing, let's leave this matter to you." Zhou Yu said to Lu Su.

Zhou Yu ordered that Lu Su would naturally respond to the matter. He said that the things Zhuge Liang wanted were very simple to handle.

After Zhuge Liang and Lu Su left one after another, Zhou Yu then remembered that there was one thing he didn't ask for advice like Mr. Kong Ming.

Zhou Yu thought to himself that since he had already decided on the plan to attack the Qin camp, he had to use the fast ship to send sulfur, tung oil, and hay to the Qin fleet. However, how to send these things to the Qin army is another problem.

Zhou Yu was about to go to Zhuge Liang to discuss it, but at this time he heard a report from a soldier outside the tent: "Grandmaster, the veteran General Huang Gai asked for a meeting."

Huang Gai was an old minister of the Eastern Wu. Although Zhou Yu's official position was greater than Huang Gai, Zhou Yu could not say that he could not see Huang Gai. Therefore, Zhou Yu decided to see Huang Gai first and then go to Zhuge Liang. Anyway, the east wind would not arrive seven days later, so there was no rush.

"Please come in with the old general Huang." Zhou Yu ordered his soldiers.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao, and Huang Gai are four veterans of the Eastern Wu. Among these four generals, Huang Gai's thoughts are the most delicate. Therefore, since he arrived at the front line, Huang Gai has been thinking about his own strategies to defeat the enemy.

Now, Huang Gai finally figured out the plan to defeat the enemy today and came to see the Grand Governor Zhou Yu.

Huang Gai entered Zhou Yu's camp. After seeing Zhou Yu, he immediately gave a gift like Zhou Yu: "Grandmaster."

"General Huang, why did you come?" Zhou Yu was anxious to find Zhuge Liang, so he did not go around with Huang Gai, but asked straight to the point.

Huang Gai is a military general and also a person who likes to go straight. Zhou Yu asked straight to the point, and Huang Gai naturally answered straightforwardly.

"Grandmaster, I have thought about a strategy to defeat the enemy. I don't know if it is feasible, so I came to ask the Governor for advice." Huang Gai said to Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu heard Huang Gai say that he had thought of a plan to defeat the enemy, he immediately became interested. He thought to himself, but he didn't expect that General Huang could not only charge forward, but also give advice.

This is not because Zhou Yu looked down on Huang Gai's plan, but because Huang Gai was not a person who was good at making suggestions. The reason why he could think of a plan was because when Sun Jian died, Huang Gai held his breath. Huang Gai was extremely good at playing tricks, and he really thought of a plan for him.

"What are the old general's plans? Let's hear it?" Zhou Yu said to Huang Gai.

As the saying goes, a mule is pulled out by a horse. Huang Gai's plan is good or not, so Zhou Yu can tell if it is said.

"Grandmaster, although the current situation is that Qin is strong and Wu is weak. However, most of the Qin army is from the north and the water is not good. After thinking about it, I felt that if we use fire attacks to burn the Qin army's ships, once the Qin army falls into the water, they will definitely die." Huang Gai said to Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu heard Huang Gai's words, he couldn't help but tremble. Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel suspicion in his heart. Zhou Yu thought, "Why did Kong Ming and I have just decided on the fire attack plan, and General Huang came to offer this plan again. Is this a coincidence?"

"General Huang, who told you this?" Zhou Yu looked at Huang Gai and asked with a bright look.

Zhou Yu knew that Huang Gai was an old minister of the Eastern Wu, and that was the most unlikely to betray Eastern Wu. Therefore, Zhou Yu suspected that someone was trying to test him through Huang Gai's mouth.

"Grandmaster, I think this is what I think, no one told me?" Huang Gai said with a confused look on his face.

"General Huang, you must not deceive me. There may be traitors in our Jiangdong. Is this someone who borrows your mouth to test me?" Zhou Yu said to Huang Gai sincerely.

"Grandmaster, this plan is really what I, Huang Gai, thinks, and I will never dare to deceive you." Huang Gai said seriously.

When Zhou Yu said this, he looked at Huang Gai's eyes tightly. From Huang Gai's eyes, Zhou Yu saw that Huang Gai was afraid that Huang Gai was not really deceiving it.

"It seems that I, Zhou Yu, have thought too much."

"I'm not intimidated by the veteran general, before you come, I just made a plan to attack fire with Mr. Kong Ming. Therefore, I have some doubts."

"Since the old general also thought of fire attack, I wonder if the old general had ever thought about how to send the fire-induced object to the Qin camp." Zhou Yu asked Huang Gai.

Zhou Yu originally planned to ask Zhuge Liang about this question, but since Huang Gai was here, he also thought of the fire attack plan. Zhou Yu thought to himself, so he might as well ask Huang Gai first.

Huang Gai really thought about this question. So when Zhou Yu asked, Huang Gai hurriedly replied: "Grandmaster, according to my opinion, we can use the trick of surrendering and send a general to surrender to the Qin camp, lying that he brought his tribe and his family to surrender. In this way, he can get close to the Qin army ships."

When Huang Gai said that he had surrendered, Zhou Yu thought for a moment and felt that if he sent a general and surrendered to the Qin army for no reason, the Qin army could not be all fools. How could he believe it? However, Zhou Yu thought that since a single plan of surrender could not be achieved, he might as well have a hard plan and make a plan for the Qin army.

"I am afraid that the Qin army will not believe it just for a fraudulent surrender plan. According to my opinion, I have to use a bitter plan first." Zhou Yu said to Huang Gai.

When Huang Gai heard this, he nodded repeatedly and praised: "It's better for the Grand Governor to think about it."

"This fraudulent surrender to the Qin camp is a matter of single-handedly breaking into the tiger's den. This person must be calm and meticulous in the face of danger."

"General Huang, who do you think we are sending among the generals of the Eastern Wu to be suitable?" Zhou Yu asked Huang Gai.

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, Huang Gai stood up with a robe, bowed to Zhou Yu and said, "Governor, I, Huang Gai, must go to this matter."

Huang Gai volunteered to go to the Qin camp to surrender. Can Zhou Yu let Huang Gai go? Of course, it cannot be. Huang Gai is too old and is now in his fifties and close to sixty. His life span is generally not long in this era, so Huang Gai is considered a veteran.

When he heard this, Zhou Yu shook his head repeatedly, and his head was like a rattle.

Seeing Zhou Yu's appearance, Huang Gai felt a little unhappy and asked Zhou Yu: "What, does the Grand Governor look down on me, Huang Gai, and thinks that I, Huang Gai, are not a person who is calm and thoughtful in the face of danger?"
