Which dynasty did Zhou Yu belong to?

Eastern Han Dynasty

Zhou Yu alluded to Huang Gai.

The story of Zhou Yu's beating Huang Gai began in Chapter 46 of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "Huang Gai was executed by an arrow" and ended in Chapter 49, "Zhou Yu set fire to the Sanjiangkou at the Seven Star Altar".

After Zhou Yu borrowed an arrow from Zhuge Liang's straw boat, he also put forward a battle plan to attack Cao Cao's water army camp with Zhou Yu. At this moment, the brothers Cai He and Cai Zhong, Jingzhou generals who surrendered to Cao Cao, were sent to Zhou Yu's camp by Cao Cao and pretended to surrender. Zhou Yu, whose heart is like a mirror, played dumb again, playing along, and deliberately took two talents. One night, while Zhou Yu was meditating in the tent, Huang Gai sneaked into the tent to see him, and put forward a battle plan to burn Cao Jun. Zhou Yu told Huang Gai that he was going to use Cai Zhong and Cai He to cheat Cao Cao. And said: to let Cao Cao fall into the scam, someone has to suffer a little bit. Huang Gai immediately said: In order to repay Sun Shi Hou Si and Jiangdong's career, he was willing to be severely punished before surrendering to Cao Cao.

The next day, Zhou Yu called the generals into the account and ordered them to receive food and grass for three months and prepare for Cao separately. Huang Gai interrupted Zhou Yu's conversation and said first, "Don't say three months, even spending 30 months on food and grass won't help." If Cao can beat this month, that would be great; If you can't beat him within a month, you might as well surrender as Zhang Zibu thinks. "Zhou Yuwen flew into a rage after hearing this surrender argument that ruined his prestige, encouraged the ambitions of others and shaken the morale of the army. He ordered Huang Gai to be pushed out of the account and beheaded. Huang Gai does not show weakness. He's a veteran of Jiangdong, seniority, and doesn't even care about Zhou Yu. This made Zhou Yu even more angry, and he wanted to make a decision as soon as possible. The escalation and intensification of the contradiction between Zhou and Huang made the generals quietly uneasy. General Gan Ning pleaded for Huang Gai on the grounds that he was a veteran of Wu Dong and was beaten by a disorderly stick. When all the civil and military officials saw that the viceroy was burned to death and veteran Huang Gai died in front of him, they knelt down together and begged for mercy for Huang Gai. For everyone's sake, Zhou Yusong let go and changed his decision to retype the 100 spinal staff immediately. The civil servants still felt that the stick was too heavy and begged Zhou Yu to raise his hand. Zhou Yu refused to give in this time. He overturned the table, dismissed all the officials and ordered the staff to go. The soldiers who carried out the case overturned the yellow cover, stripped off their clothes and severely hit 50 crutches. When the officials saw it, they fought for exemption. Zhou Yu hated it and returned it to the account. Zhou Yu and Huang Gai's double spring insurance almost fooled all civil and military officials. Only one person knew that he didn't say anything and stood by. He is Zhuge Liang.

Huang Gai was badly beaten by these 50 sticks. He was raw and bloody, and fainted several times in a row. When other generals came to visit, Huang Gai kept silent and just sighed. There seem to be many skeletons in the closet. When his close friend Kan Ze came to see a doctor with suspicion, Huang Gai told the truth and asked Kan Ze, who is famous for his loyalty and courage, to sneak into Cao Ying and submit a fake surrender for him. Cao Cao, a wily man, was skeptical about Kan Ze and The False Surrender. But Kan Ze is by no means an idle person. He was courageous and eloquent, and finally persuaded Cao Cao. At this moment, Cai Zhong and Cai He, who had already infiltrated Zhou Yu's account, also sent someone to send Zhou Yu's anger stick and Huang Gai's tip-off. After Kan Ze left Cao Cao and went back, he brought a secret message to Cao Cao, further stipulating the code and logo of Huang Gai's contacts. During this period, Cai He and Cai Zhong also secretly delivered messages to Cao Cao from the south bank of the Yangtze River. All this was done seamlessly, which made Cao Cao firmly believe in Huang Gai's "surrender".

Cao Cao's navy is mostly composed of northerners, and it is not suitable for water life. Many people get seasick because of turbulence. In addition, although Zhou Yu and others have determined the battle plan of burning warships, Cao Cao's naval warships are all independent. If one ship catches fire, other ships can still leave quickly. In order to create more favorable conditions for the fire attack, Zhou Yu cleverly let Pang Tong sneak into Cao Ying, and proposed a "serial plan" to Cao Cao to tie the warships together. In this way, Cao Cao's warships, whether in groups of 30 or 50, were all connected with iron locks, and wooden boards were laid on the ships to let the foot soldiers and horses on the ground. The problem of seasickness has been solved, and not only the foot soldiers applauded it, but even Cao Cao, who has experienced many battles and is well versed in the art of war, thinks that he can do his best in the face of the ship array as stable as Mount Tai.

On November 20, 13th year of Jian 'an, Sun Liu's army made preparations and arrangements before the war. Zhuge Liang set up an altar to worship the wind for three days, which was near midnight. Sure enough, the southeast wind is getting stronger and stronger. Huang Gai also filled the prepared 20 big ships with reed dry wood, poured fish oil, sprinkled sulfur and mirabilite for ignition, and then covered them with green cloth and oilcloth. The bow of the boat was also nailed with big nails, and the contact sign "Qinglong Tooth Flag" was erected on the boat. Behind every big ship, there is a small boat tied with convenient movement. Huang Gai also sent a pawn to hold a book and agreed with Cao Cao to come down that night. Zhou Yu also arranged for ships to meet Huang Gai and the follow-up teams to attack.

Cao Cao in Jiangbei is waiting for news with the generals in Dazhai. Huang Gai set sail and surrendered to Cao Cao. Huang Gai put ten warships in the front, hung sails in the river, and the rest of the ships moved forward in turn. The generals and soldiers of Cao Cao's army walked out of the barracks, stood there and watched, pointing to Huang Gai and surrendering. When it was more than two miles away from Cao Cao's army, the fire was lit at the same time. The fire is very strong and the wind is very strong. Ships flew like arrows, burning all Cao Cao's warships and spreading to the barracks on the shore. At the moment, fireworks filled the sky, and many people and horses were burned to death and drowned. Zhou Yu and others followed lightly, beating drums to the sky, and Cao Cao's army completely collapsed. Cao Cao led the troops to flee on foot from Huarong Road. When they came across a muddy road, it was impassable and windy, so he ordered the weak soldiers to fill the road with grass so that the cavalry could pass. Weak soldiers were trampled by cavalry, mired in mud and died in large numbers. Liu Bei and Zhou Yu went hand in hand, pursuing Cao Cao to Nanjun. At this time, Cao Cao's army suffered from hunger and plague, and nearly half of them died. Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren, the general of the Southern Expedition, and Huang Xu, the general of Yokono, to defend Jiangling, break the general into Xiangyang and lead the army back to the north.

When Huang Gai was beaten, there was an episode: when Zhou Yu wanted to behead Huang Gai, Lu Su pleaded for Huang Gai and hinted that Zhuge Liang, who was on the sidelines, pleaded for him, but Zhuge Liang had no intention of courtship at all. After Huang Gai was beaten fifty times, Lu Su went to the camp and asked Zhuge Liang, "Huang Gai was beaten, and we all went to plead. You are a distinguished guest, why self-destruct? " Zhuge Liang's face changed greatly after hearing this: "Amethyst (Lu Su) bullied me!" Lu Su was puzzled: "I have always treated you well. How can I bully you?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "This is Zhou Yu and Huang Gai using their risks and false information to let Cai Zhong Cai He spread the news. How can I say it casually? " Lu Su looked a little incredulous, and Zhuge Liang added, "Don't tell Zhou Yu about this, or he will find trouble with me again. Just say I blame him, too. " Lu Su agreed and returned to Zhou Yu's camp. Zhou Yu asked Lu Su, "What does Zhuge Liang think of this matter?" According to Zhuge Liang's instructions, Lu Su replied, "He said he also complained about the governor's practice." . Zhou Yu was very happy after hearing this, and fooled him this time. When Lu Su asked what was going on, Zhou Yu replied, "This is a trick for me and Huang Gai to paralyze Cao Cao. It seems that Zhuge Liang has no idea either. This person may not be my opponent. " Lu Su was surprised and secretly admired Zhuge Liang's foresight.

It can be seen that the risk comes from Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang. If Cao Cao is as cautious as Zhuge Liang, the fifty staffs of Huang Gai will not only be beaten in vain, but the history of Battle of Red Cliffs will also be rewritten.

The story of Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai

The allusion of "Zhou Yu hits Huang Gai" comes from the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It tells the story of Wu Dong general Zhou Yu who used a clever trick to deal with Cao Cao. It was because of the close cooperation between Zhou Yu and Huang Gai that Cao Cao was defeated in Battle of Red Cliffs. Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei and won Jingzhou. Cao Cao took this opportunity to deal with Wu Dong.

At that time, Zhang Zhao and others under Sun Quan advocated peace, and Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Quan to confront Cao Cao. After Zhou Yu analyzed the situation for Sun Quan, Sun Quan decided to unite Liu Bei and Cao Cao. On one occasion, Cao Cao wanted to capture Jingzhou with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun as the generals of the water army. Jiang Gan, one of Cao Cao's counselors, volunteered to tell Cao Cao that he was willing to act as a lobbyist to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was cheated by Zhou Yu and killed two generals who knew how to fight water.

Zhou Yu decided to attack with fire, but Cao Jun connected all the warships. Huang Gai and Zhou Yu staged a bitter battle in order to make Dongwu's fireboat closer to Cao Jun. When Zhou Yu and the general were discussing military affairs, Huang Gai pretended to disagree with Zhou Yu's point of view and even despised Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was very angry and ordered Huang Gai to be executed. Zhou Yu's move frightened the generals in the army. They persuaded Zhou Yu that Huang Gai was a meritorious veteran and asked Zhou Yu not to slay Huang Gai. So Zhou Yu asked the soldiers to whip Huang Gai. After Huang Gai was punished, he stayed in bed all day.

This scene happened to be seen by Cai Zhong and Cai He. Later, Kan Ze gave Huang Gai a false surrender, and they saw him again. They told Cao Cao the false news, and he didn't doubt it. Later, Huang Gai came with troops, and Cao Cao had no expectations. Huang Gai became Wu Dong's spy in Cao Ying, and reported the situation in Cao Jun in real time, so that Cao Cao was defeated in Battle of Red Cliffs.
