Huang Gai was pushed out of the house and executed on the street. He was beaten until his skin and flesh were torn and blood flowed. The officers, soldiers and people all covered their eyes.
Liu Qi listened to the snapping sounds coming from outside and Huang Gai's constant groaning, gritting his teeth secretly. Although he was not as close to Huang Gai as Zhou Yu, he still couldn't bear to beat an old man in his seventies or eighties innocently.
"Everyone, listen to the order!" Liu Qi did not want to listen to what was going on outside, scolded the generals, and said in a deep voice: "The art of war has it that only when orders and prohibitions are carried out can the three armies be used. Huang Gai relied on his seniority to mess with my laws. If this continues, how can he do it? Defeat Cao Cao? I am determined to appoint Zhao Yun as the general who conquers the north, Chen Dao as the right guard, and Lu Fan as the left guard. They will command all the battalions and strictly enforce the military laws. Anyone who violates the order again will be ruthless and will be killed without mercy!"
Han Dang's eyes were red with anger, and he said angrily: "Since General Sun pacified the south of the Yangtze River, we have gone through hundreds of battles. The generals either fought against the generals who rebelled against him, or they fought under the marquis of Wu. They all wore strong weapons and fought hard through life and death. Only then did we achieve this." Jiangdong's foundation. You are not the son-in-law of the Sun family, but you are in charge of the military power on your behalf. What right do you have to seize our military power? If you want to be a guest and seize the master, why don't you?"
Chen Wu, Quan Cong and other generals all responded and shouted: "What General Han said is absolutely true. What right do you have to seize our military power?"
Liu Qi shouted: "I couldn't bear to ruin the foundation of the Sun family, so I had to take this strategy. I thought that when I first arrived in Huainan, I didn't interfere with the military and administration. With your judgment, I didn't want to but was defeated by Cao Jun again. Could it be that I was defeated again by Cao Jun?" Do you want the battles between Hefei and Shouchun to be staged again?”
Han Dang and others were all furious, their faces turned red, they were gnashing their teeth, but they were speechless. Especially in the battle of Hefei, all the generals had participated. That battle became a joke in the world, and it was a lifelong shame that could not be refuted.
Liu Qi said coldly: "I have been entrusted with an important task by the Marquis of Wu. This time I will fight to the death with Cao's thieves. The war in the Central Plains has begun to take shape. At this time when the east and west are advancing, Zhao Zilong has always defeated the general and defeated Cao's army many times. Why don't you accept it?"
Han Dang sneered and said: "The general is so loud. Do you think we have to rely on Zhao Yun alone to defeat the enemy?"
Liu Qi said: "The alliance to defeat Cao was a decision jointly made by Wu Hou and I. We should work together with the generals. This is an opportunity for the Jiangdong troops to avenge their previous humiliation. If you don't contribute, you can stand firm and not fight. General Guan will march east." If we go forward, the whole Jiangdong region will be laughed at for thousands of years!"
The faces of all the generals were ugly, and only one person outside the door said loudly: "Does General Liu really think that there is no one in Jiangdong? If you accept Zhao Zilong as your general, we will send troops to fight Cao Jun tomorrow. We will each send out an army to see who is better." Low!"
Everyone turned to look, but Ling Tong, who had been blasted away by Zhao Yun, turned back, clasped his fists at Liu Qi and said, "It's not a skill to attack your allies. Kill the enemy in front of the battle, and then determine the superiority."
"How majestic!" Liu Qi exclaimed, "In this way, you can become a man from Jiangdong and have the bearing of a king."
Then he slowly scanned the generals and asked, "What do you think?"
Han Dang gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and said, "It's a deal!"
Liu Qi then sent an order to appoint Zhao Yun as general and Han Dang as deputy general. They each guarded the camp and the city. No action was allowed without the general's order. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed without mercy.
At this time, the execution was completed outside the mansion. Huang Gai was beaten until he fainted and was carried back to the post. The generals were concerned about his injuries and left angrily.
Lu Su sighed: "Poor General Huang spent his whole life fighting, and in the end he suffered this torture. I'm afraid that he is old and will suffer from the root of his disease. How can I bear it?"
Liu Qi comforted him: "Zijing, don't worry. The person who executed the execution has his own methods. Although the old general's skin was torn, in fact, his muscles and bones were not injured, it was just a flesh wound."
Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his beard and said, "Cao Cao will be informed of the details of today's scene, but this thief is suspicious by nature. I wonder if I can hide it from him."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "If Sima Yi is still in the camp, he may be able to see through it. The rest of Cao's camp will definitely not be able to see through this plan. Sir, you must appease the generals as soon as possible!"
Lu Su said goodbye to Liu Qi, and then came to visit Huang Gai. All the generals gathered around the bed. Seeing that there were blood marks on their backs, some couldn't help crying and cursed Liu Qi for being too deceptive.
Seeing Lu Su come in, Han Dang and others looked gloomy, snorted and left each other. Lu Su did not stop Liu Qi today. In their opinion, he deliberately embarrassed the military commander and helped Liu Qi establish his authority.
After a while, the doctor finished applying the medicine. Lu Su saw that Huang Gai's face was sallow and he was sweating profusely. He sighed: "The old general has suffered."
Huang Gaiqiang smiled and said: "For the sake of Jiangdong's foundation, how many men were stained with blood on the battlefield, and there were no bones left, just wounds to the skin and flesh, what's the point? A certain person was favored by Wu Hou II, Zhongmou..., this time he entered the Central Plains, Nai Bo Fu Yiyuan'er, if I can go back to Luoyang and gain fame for the two generals, it will be worth it even if I get another beating."
"Generals are true heroes!" Lu Su also understood that Huang Gai, the veteran generals who first followed Sun Jian, were all ancient people. Similar to Sun Jian, they were not only selfish for hegemony, but also concerned about the country and the people, which can be called He is a national scholar.
Huang Gaiyan said: "I have already written the letter of surrender. This person needs a close confidant and a eloquent eloquent. I don't know who should be sent to deliver it?"
Lu Su said: "Old General, don't worry. We have chosen Kan Ze as the envoy. He has a close relationship with Zhongmou. He will definitely be able to persuade Cao Cao when he goes there."
Huang Gai nodded and said: "Kan Derun has always been loyal and loyal, I feel at ease!"
Lu Su said with a smile: "Old General, just relax and recuperate. When this plan is completed, I will lead the army to kill the enemy and promote my power in Jiangdong!"
Huang Gai couldn't help laughing, pulling at the wound and gasping for air. Lu Su told him to take good care of his injury, and then left and rushed to the military camp. He was afraid that someone would be dissatisfied and secretly make trouble, which would be self-defeating.
Unconsciously, it was already evening. Before he reached the camp gate, he was stopped by a soldier and asked to go to Han Dang's residence.
After seeing the ceremony, Lu Su said: "Tomorrow we will have a decisive battle with the Wei army. Why doesn't the general go to the camp to encourage the three armies?"
"Hmph!" Han Dang snorted coldly, stared at Lu Su and asked: "Liu Qi angrily accused the public, but in fact he was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. He was clearly trying to embarrass us. Although sir, you begged for mercy, why didn't you stop it together with us?"
Lu Su sighed: "We are facing a powerful enemy. Discord between generals is a big taboo. If we all confront Liu Qi today, I fear there will be chaos in the army, and Huainan will be taken advantage of by Cao Cao's thieves!"
Han Dang was furious, slapped the table and shouted: "Without Liu Qi, wouldn't we be able to resist Cao Cao?"
Lu Su smiled bitterly and said: "The Cao thief is cunning and very capable of tricks. I don't think Jiangdong can be hostile to Gong Jin. If Liu Qi just walks away, Jiangdong will be in chaos. General Han is an old minister of Jiangdong, so I hope he will put the overall situation first." .”
Han Dang gritted his teeth and said: "If I continue to focus on the overall situation, Jiangdong will definitely be gained by Liu Qi! I don't care what my husband and Gongfu saw in Ganlu Temple, and I must not let Liu Qi occupy the magpie's nest, otherwise he will come under the spring, and someone will How can I face the two former masters?"
Lu Su didn't expect that Han Dangri was actually a hypocrite, so he was shocked and said: "What does the general want?"
Han Dang put his hand on the hilt of the sword and said in a deep voice: "Liu Qi, my son, has deceived me and there is no one in Jiangdong. I am determined to unite all the generals and start an attack tonight. I will kill Liu Qi first, avenge the public humiliation, and avenge the injustice of the Marquis of Wu!"
