经典三国故事 This is a story from Three Kingdoms that happened before the Battle of Chibi. One night, Zhou Yu was thinking hard in his tent about how to defeat Cao Caos army, when Huang Gai came in. He suggested attacking with fire. Well, its exactly what I mean to do. Said Zhou Yu. Thats why Im keeping those two spies: to convey false information to Caos camp. But I need a man to play the same game for us. Huang Gai said he was willing to do it. They decided to carry out the trick of being flogged to win the enemys confidence. 赤壁大战之前，周瑜苦思破曹之计。一日深夜，老将黄盖来到帐中，商议破曹以火攻为好。周瑜说：我也这样想，所以才留下假投降的蔡氏兄弟，只是无人去曹营诈降。黄盖自告奋勇，甘愿领此重任。当夜二人定下苦肉计。 The next day Zhou Yu convened召集 a general assembly of his commanders outside his tent.

Zhou Yu said at last: In consideration for the commanders views, I shall not kill you. Give him one hundred strokes across the back! 在场的将领们跪下替黄盖求情。周瑜狠狠地说：看在众将面上，饶你不死，打一百军棍! Huang Gai was forced facedown to the ground. Not yet at fifty blows of the rod, his skin was broken and his oozing渗透 flesh was crossed with welts. He fainted several times. 武士们把黄盖推倒在地，没打到五十下，已皮开肉绽，鲜血直流，几次晕死过去。 Zhou Yu let Kan Ze, Huang Gais friend, to deliver the letter of surrender to Cao Cao, which Huang Gai had prepared. Before long, Cao
