Zhou Yu assembles his officers in his tent, and tells them that Huang Gai has given them trouble, because of his disagreement with him on the matter of provisions. Zhou Yu demands that Huang Gai gives away one of his two seals; either the vanguard-seal or the provisions-seal. However, Huang Gai is not willing to, and it comes to an argument, where none of them are willing to give in. Zhou Yu is enraged. Huang Gai curses Zhou Yu and calls him a bad egg. Then Zhou Yu can not take it anymore, and orders his soldiers to bind Huang Gai and execute him.
周瑜升帳，以糧道之事說黃蓋誤了他的事，要黃蓋先鋒印或糧道印兩顆大印讓出一顆，黃蓋不肯，兩人辯白，誰也不肯讓誰。周瑜大怒，黃蓋罵了周瑜：周郎小子。周瑜不可忍耐，命武士將黃蓋綁了斬首。
