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

……

The fifth watch, which is close to five o'clock.

It was still dark.

Gangneung City.

Cao Cao, with his remaining troops and horses covered in mud, quietly opened the north gate.

slipped.

It runs faster than a rabbit.

Leaving behind an empty city.

Half an hour later.

Zhao Yun led three thousand light cavalry.

They rushed into the south gate.

Take over the city's defenses.

Change the flag.

Close the city gates.

All in one go.

……

Around 8 or 9 o'clock, which is roughly close to 9 am,

It took 30,000 elite troops from Jiangdong a long time to arrive.

Given Zhou Yu's nature, he genuinely believed that Cao Cao was truly going to give him the city.

Because of his extreme arrogance, he never imagined that Liu Bei would dare to have such audacity.

They came to fight for the meat in his bowl.

Zhou Yu rode a tall horse.

Standing outside the moat.

How unrefined!

This is a springboard for the Northern Expedition.

Jiangling City is his now.

Today will ultimately be a day that goes down in history.

"Commander."

Gan Ning spurred his horse forward, his face beaming with excitement.

"The time has come."

"That old bastard Cao Cao must have run away long ago."

"Shall we go into town?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

High spirits.

"Let's go into town!"

"Today, I will hold a three-day banquet at the prefect's residence."

The army set off.

The vanguard crossed the suspension bridge.

They approached the city gate, but it was tightly shut.

The suspension bridge is down, but why is this door closed?

The city wall was quiet.

There were no Cao army flags.

There were no garrison troops.

It's like a dead city.

"A ghost town?"

Xu Sheng looked at the city gate and guessed...

"Commander, be careful, it might be a trap."

"Cao Ren is cunning and treacherous; could he be lying in ambush in the city?"

Zhou Yu sneered.

"A scam?"

"Cao Cao's letter of surrender was extremely humble; I think he was truly terrified of being beaten."

"Besides, if he dares to ambush us, our entire army will swarm in and chop him into mincemeat!"

Zhou Yu wielded his whip.

"Shout! Tell the laborers left inside to open the gate!"

So Xu Sheng shouted,

"Listen up, you on the city walls!"

"The Grand Commander of Eastern Wu is here! Open the gates and surrender immediately!"

"You're spared death!"

He called it three times.

No one answered.

Zhou Yu was getting a little impatient.

To play tricks or deceive.

"Battering ram!"

"Break through!"

Several strongmen carrying battering rams charged across the drawbridge.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The city gate remained completely still.

A sound of a stick being struck came from the city wall.

Followed by.

A large flag.

It stood up.

It is a large "Liu" character.

When Zhou Yu saw the flag, his pupils contracted sharply.

"What?!"

Under the flag.

One person transferred out.

It was none other than Zhao Zilong of Changshan.

Zhao Yun stood at the crenellation, which is the recessed part of the city wall.

Looking down at Zhou Yu.

Clasping hands in a fist salute.

He burst into loud laughter.

"Governor Zhou!"

"Long time no see!"

"Yun, I have been waiting here for a long time on the orders of my lord, Liu Huangshu!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

The soldiers of Eastern Wu looked at each other in bewilderment.

When Zhao Yu came to their camp to surrender yesterday,

They saw it clearly, and the governor agreed that if they captured Jiangling City, they would be credited with a merit.

How did it turn out like this?

What happened to Cao Cao surrendering the city?

How did I become Liu Bei's man?

Zhou Yu's face flushed red instantly.

He gripped the horsewhip in his hand and pointed it at the city wall.

"Zhao...Zhao Yun!"

"What are you doing in there?"

"Where is Cao Cao?"

"Where is Cao Cao's letter of surrender?"

Zhao Yun smiled.

"The Governor is joking."

"Cao Cao abandoned the city last night."

"My strategist has calculated the timing perfectly and ordered Yun to take Jiangling overnight."

"We must thank the Commander for holding Cao Ren back from the front. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to take this empty city."

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit.

These words,

It is a hundred times sharper than a knife.

Countless images flashed through Zhou Yu's mind.

Zhao Yu sent a letter of surrender.

How humble the surrender document was.

And, and,

Zhao Yu's eerie smile as he left.

Zhao Yu said, "I hope the Governor-General will find it comfortable here."

"Zhao Yu..."

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth.

"Ah!! Traitor!"

"He gave you the city defense map!"

"He gave you the key!"

"He kept me calm while simultaneously handing the city over to your lord, Liu Bei!"

"One woman married twice!"

"Shameless! Utterly shameless!"

Zhou Yu was furious.

Reason has been severed.

For the sake of Jiangling, he fought fiercely with Cao Cao on the front lines, suffering heavy losses in troops and spending countless amounts of money and supplies.

EMMM

As a result, the fruit ripened.

It was taken by Liu Bei.

Or was it Cao Cao who deliberately offered him a ladder?

"Attack the city!"

Zhou Yu drew his sword and roared.

"Attack the city! Charge in!!"

"Charge in!!"

"Drive Liu Bei's men out!"

"Jiangling City is mine!"

What springboard, what success and fame, all turn to ashes.

History books will only record that in a certain year, Zhou Yu was tricked by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, becoming a laughing stock and a topic of conversation for others.

Lu Su and Zhuge Jin saw that Zhou Yu was about to launch a strong attack.

He grabbed Zhou Yu's horse reins.

"Gongjin! Commander! No!"

"We have no siege equipment!"

"Furthermore, Zhao Yun is well-rested and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, and the city's defenses are formidable!"

"A direct assault will inevitably fail!!"

"Get out of here!"

Zhou Yu kicked away the two people who tried to stop him.

His eyes were bloodshot.

"I don't care!"

"I swear I will not return until Jiangling is reclaimed today!"

"All troops, attack!"

"I will personally commend the first to scale the summit!"

Military orders are absolute.

Even if the soldiers of Eastern Wu were unwilling, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge forward.

Erect a ladder.

Shoulder the shield.

They surged onto the city walls.

Zhao Yun stood on the city wall.

He looked down at the Wu army attacking below.

shook his head.

Why bother?

"The strategist was prepared."

Zhao Yun waved his hand,

"Release the arrows!"

The sound of a bowstring rang out.

"Chirp chirp—"

"Chirp chirp chirp—"

Three rounds of fire

Thousands of arrows were shot out.

Zhao Yun brought more than just people.

There were also archers that Zhuge Liang had arranged overnight.

They had already hidden themselves at the top of the battlements and lay in ambush.

Furthermore, the soldiers of Eastern Wu were not skilled at siege warfare.

Moreover, they came in a hurry and didn't bring anything with them.

The soldiers of Eastern Wu were crowded at the city gate, with nowhere to hide.

A large number of them collapsed.

The screams were deafening.

"what!"

"My legs!"

"Help!"

Zhou Yu was overseeing the battle from within the formation.

He watched his men die a horrible death.

Heart is bleeding.

But he was not willing to give up.

"Rush!"

"Pour it on!"

"Zhao Yun doesn't have many men!"

suddenly,

On one side of the city gate tower,

A great general suddenly appeared.

Dark-faced, loud-voiced.

Zhang Fei.

He was holding a stiff bow in his hand.

They set their sights on Zhou Yu.

Of course, it certainly didn't hit the mark.

"You little brat, Zhou Yu!"

"Watch out for the arrow!"

"Whoosh—"

A blunt arrow, that is, a sharpened arrow, was shot at us.

Zhou Yu has long since lost his senses.

They didn't try to avoid it.

An arrow pierced his shoulder.

Zhou Yu was in pain, which caused his old injury to his left rib to flare up again.

My body swayed, and everything went black before my eyes.

"Well……"

A muffled groan.

He fell from his horse.

"Commander!"

"The commander-in-chief has been hit by an arrow!"

The Eastern Wu army was thrown into chaos.

Han Dang and Zhou Tai rushed forward and lifted Zhou Yu up.

"withdraw!"

"Retreat immediately!"

In his dazed state, Zhou Yu heard someone directing a retreat.

"Don't leave..."

His mouth was full of blood and mucus.

"Kill Liu Bei..."

"Kill Zhao Yu..."

"My grand undertaking..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

He rolled his eyes.

Passed out.

The head coach has fallen.

Wu Jun completely broke down.

We have no choice but to retreat.

They were utterly defeated and abandoned.

On the city wall.

Zhao Yun put away his spear.

Watching the Eastern Wu army flee in disarray.

He sighed.

"The strategist is a genius."

"Zhao Yu... a vicious scheme."

"With that arrow from Yide, Zhou Yu would probably be half dead."

……

Three days later, in Xiangyang City.

Cao Cao is holding a victory celebration banquet.

Although Jiangling was lost.

But he was even happier than if he had won a battle.

"Report—!"

"Prime Minister!"

Good news!

Cao Cao put down his wine cup.

"speak!"

"Zhou Yu led his army to Jiangling, only to find that the city had already been occupied by Liu Bei!"

"Zhou Yu, enraged, attacked the city, but was struck by an arrow and fell from his horse! His wound burst open, and he coughed up blood and fell unconscious!"

"The Eastern Wu army has retreated to Chaisang!"

"The Sun and Liu families are now facing off with their troops on the border of Jingzhou, a tense standoff!"

"The alliance... is broken!"

"Okay, okay!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly.

I laughed so hard that tears came out.

"What a clever double tactic!"

"What a sight to see two tigers fighting over food!"

Pointing at Zhao Yu,

"Zhao Yu!"

"Your plan is worth more than ten thousand soldiers!"

"Half of the blood Zhou Yu spat out was for you!"

All the generals looked at Zhao Yu.

His eyes were filled with awe.

This person is not to be trifled with.

High martial arts skills are one thing.

He even knows how to scheme!

Simply.

Zhao Yu sat there, gnawing on a leg of lamb.

Hearing the leader praise him.

He wiped his mouth.

He looked completely innocent.

"Prime Minister, this is not my fault."

"It's because Governor Zhou is too narrow-minded. I've already told him that the feng shui of Jiangling is not right."

"He insisted on moving in as soon as possible."

"Now look what's happened, he's vomiting three liters of blood."

Cao Cao laughed loudly.

"That's right!"

"Not only is he petty, but he's also incredibly arrogant!"

"Come!"

"I'd like to offer you a toast!"

"After this battle, I will have no more worries!"

"Tomorrow, we will return in triumph!"

"Back to Xuchang!"

Zhao Yu raised his glass.

He drank it all in one gulp.

Xuchang.

That's a great place.

That place where the emperor was held hostage to command the feudal lords.

That place where undercurrents are surging.

Where,

There was a figure whose official rank was even higher than Cao Cao's.

"Prime Minister!"

Zhao Yu muttered to himself.

"After we finish this glass of wine, perhaps our good days will come to an end."
