Zhou Yu hit Huang Gai, and one is willing to hit another. ? This is a two-part allegorical saying that we are very familiar with, and it also introduces us to Huang Gai, a veteran of Soochow. In fact, the burning of Chibi has little to do with Zhuge Liang in history. The veteran Huang Gai was the first to put forward the fire attack, and he was the concrete implementer of this plan. It can be said that Huang Gai's contribution is the first in Battle of Red Cliffs.
However, after Battle of Red Cliffs, the outstanding veteran Huang Gai disappeared. So, how did Huang Gai end up in Battle of Red Cliffs? Did he die after all? Why did he disappear after Battle of Red Cliffs? Today, let's travel through history together.
Jiangdong veteran Huang Gai is from Lingling District, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. He first participated in the uprising with Sun Jian, and successively served as Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan. He is brave and good at fighting, fighting side by side with three generations of Sun family. He is the oldest general in Jiangdong and one of the twelve tiger ministers in Jiangdong, Soochow.
In the 13th year of Jian 'an in Chibi (208), Cao Cao took Jingzhou and went down the Yangtze River to annihilate Sun Quan's regime in Jiangdong. Subsequently, Liu Bei and Sun Quan formed an alliance against Cao Jun, and the two armies confronted each other. In order to defeat the powerful Cao Jun, Huang Gai, a veteran of Wu Dong, put forward a fire attack plan in view of the fact that Cao Cao's ships were end to end. After this plan was put forward, it was agreed by Zhou Yu and others. Therefore, as the initiator of the fire attack strategy, Huang Gai personally implemented this strategy.
Huang Gai wrote a letter to Cao Cao and pretended to surrender. When Cao Cao received the letter, he believed it and asked Huang Gai to take his team to Cao Ying to surrender. Next, it is the thrilling burning of Chibi. According to historical records:? Instead, they took dozens of Meng Chong warships, filled them with firewood and oil, wrapped them in curtains, planted tooth flags, and reported them to Tsao Kung first, threatening them to surrender. Every department is a big ship and leads all the way. Cao He's officials craned their necks to watch and pointed out that the words were covered. When the ship is built and the wind is strong, it is obvious that it will burn and camp on the shore. Soon, smoke billowed, and many people were burned to death and drowned. The army then retreated, still protecting the Confederate army. ?
Huang Gai's fire plan was very successful. Red Cliff was burned, and Cao Jun was instantly razed to the ground. Huang Gai, the greatest hero who burned Chibi, was unfortunately hit by an arrow and fell into the water in the war. Fortunately, he was later rescued by Wu Jun. It's just that Huang Gai is embarrassed at this time. Wu Jun didn't recognize it, so he put the veteran on the toilet bed. At that time, Huang Gai had to keep shouting Han Dang's name. Fortunately, the Korean party found him in time, recognized him, unbuttoned his clothes in time and treated him, saving Huang Gai's life.
After Huang Gai disappeared from Battle of Red Cliffs, he was transferred to Wuling County and put down the barbarian rebellion. Subsequently, Huang Gai put down the rebellion in Yiyang County, Changsha County. Sun Quan promoted him to be a partial general, and finally he died in the office. Later, after Sun's death, he posthumously sealed his merits and conferred the title of Yellow Handle on his son, a post-official.
Battle of Red Cliffs, the disappearance of Huang Gai is probably the biggest reason why Huang Gai is old. Chibi is injured and is no longer suitable for fighting in the north. Let him be the satrap, clean up the thieves and keep him alive. In a word, when he is old, Sun Quan won't take him to play. Therefore, he seldom shows up. In the end, he died well and well.
