Cao Cao said that he would do it, and since he decided to send troops, he began to prepare. However, just in case, Cao Cao himself could not be recruited in person. After thinking about it, Cao Cao decided to let his brother Cao Ren take command of the expedition, and then send the Xiahou brothers and Guo Jia to assist him.

This side was preparing and the other side was not idle, Chen Jiao immediately sent a letter to contact Jiang Gan, and made it clear in the letter what he wanted him to do. Jiang Gan has the heart to surrender to Cao Cao again, and it is time for him to submit his name. So Jiang Gan agreed, and then drove a boat straight to Jiangxia with his entourage.

Besides, Zhou Yu has moved the base of the Dongwu Navy to Jiangxia at this moment. A while ago, Liu Bei's fleet roared past the Yangtze River, and Zhou Yu had the intention to intercept it. As a result, after he reported it to Sun Quan, Sun Quan strictly ordered him not to attack. So Zhou Yu held his breath, so he put all his energy on training the water army.

Early this morning, Zhou Yu was going to practice the navy as usual, and he had just come out of the gate before he arrived at the water village, when he suddenly came on a flying horse, came to Zhou Yu and dismounted and saluted: "Yu Dadu Governor, there is a person on the river who claims to be an old friend of Dadu Governor, and he has come to see him." ”

Zhou Yu stopped and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "An old friend of so-and-so?" It's kind of interesting, let him into the city, I'll wait for him in the house. Let me see which old friend is looking for me. After saying that, he turned around and came back to the house, and the navy can rest for a day today.

After a while, someone led Jiang Gan to the Taishou Mansion, and as soon as he entered the gate, Jiang Gan shouted: "Zhou Gongjin still remembers Jiang Ziyi in Jiujiang, why didn't you come to greet me?" ”

Before Jiang Gan's words fell, he only heard Zhou Yu's laughter inside, "Hahaha, it turned out to be my brother Ziyi, and I didn't ask for forgiveness and forgiveness of sins!" As he spoke, Zhou Yu came out of the lobby.

Jiang Gan's eyes bent, and he felt proud, thinking in his heart to see Zhou Yu's attitude, this time the matter was stable. At that moment, he also laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I thought that Brother Gongjin had forgotten about Brother Gongjin when he became the governor of the naval army of Eastern Wu, but I didn't expect Brother Gongjin to be the original Brother Gongjin!" After speaking, he stepped forward to salute Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu grabbed Jiang Gan's arm, stopped him from saluting, and then the two of them entered the lobby together.

At this time, there was another person in the lobby, it was Lu Su Lu Zijing, the deputy governor of the navy, who was originally a friend of Zhou Yu, and he was also brought to accompany the guests at this moment. Lu Su saw the two of them enter the lobby together, and Zhou Yu looked extremely happy with a smile on his face. Suddenly there was a plan in his heart, and at this time he also got up and said: "Dadu Governor, who is this?" I also hope that the governor will recommend one or two. ”

"Hahaha, come on, come on, Zi Jing and I'll introduce you to you. This is a classmate of a certain person, Jiujiang Jiang Gan and Jiang Ziyi are also. Ziyi, this is the deputy governor of my Eastern Wu Naval Army, Lu Su, and Lu Zijing. Zhou Yu laughed and introduced the two.

Lu Su and Jiang Gan clasped their fists and saluted each other, and then the three of them sat down separately. Zhou Yu immediately ordered to prepare a banquet for Jiang Gan to catch the wind and wash the dust. There was not much time for the banquet to be placed, and Zhou Yu smiled and raised a glass to invite wine. Jiang Gan opened his mouth several times to say the purpose of the trip, but Zhou Yu cleverly diverted the topic. In this way, the three of you drank back and forth, and the wine was half-drunk, and Zhou Yu suddenly shouted: "Take my piano!" ”

The subordinates didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly took Zhou Yu's piano out, at this time Jiang Gan clapped his hands and said: "Gong Jin's piano skills are unparalleled, I didn't expect that I could hear Gong Jin's piano again today." ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Ziyi, don't be idle, I have a hole flute here, it's good for you to drink a song with me!" ”

When Jiang Gan heard this, he suddenly became interested, and he rolled up his sleeves and said, "So I don't dare to invite what I want!" Hahaha! While saying this, the hole flute handed over by the next person was directly placed on his mouth. Zhou Yu saw that he was ready, so he sat upright, and then stroked the strings with his hand, and the beautiful sound came out from under him.

Lu Su lightly twisted his beard and nodded with a smile, he had naturally heard his friend stroke the qin, but this beautiful sound still made people feel happy. At this time, Jiang Gan's flute was drunk, and the piano and flute merged with each other, only interpreting this song of mountains and flowing water perfectly.

Jiang Gan's flute is good, but Zhou Yu's piano is even more extraordinary. ended like this, and Lu Zijing was fascinated by it. Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan were also very happy, so the three of them drank again.

The three of them drank a lot, and in the end, Jiang Gan only felt that the world was spinning, and he held on to the desk and wanted to get up, but his arm was weak and he lay directly on the desk.

Zhou Yu laughed and said: "Ziyi, you are drunk, someone will help him to my bedroom, and I will sleep with him tonight." Someone helped Jiang Gan and sent him into Zhou Yu's bedroom, Zhou Yu made a look at Lu Su, and Lu Su nodded lightly. Then Zhou Yu also asked people to help him back to the bedroom, and fell asleep directly on the bed.

Jiang Gan also fell asleep at this time, I don't know how long it took. Half-asleep, Jiang Gan heard someone talking in his ear. He didn't open his eyes, but listened intently, but Zhou Yu was listening to the reports of his subordinates.

I only listened to the people of my subordinates: "Dadu Governor, there is a letter from Xiangyang again, I'm afraid that the Dadu Governor will not be in a hurry to urge Dadu to make a move!" ”

Zhou Yu glanced at the sleeping Jiang Gan, and then lowered his voice and said, "I already know about this matter, and I will be thinking about it when I wake up tomorrow." Believe it and put it on the table, you go down first! ”

The subordinate said respectfully: "Yes, that subordinate went down first!" With that, he took out a letter from his bosom and put it on the table, then turned and left the room. Zhou Yu came to Jiang Gan's side and called softly: "Ziyi, Ziyi......" Jiang Gan continued to pretend to be asleep and ignored it, Zhou Yu saw that he was asleep, so he lay on the bed with his clothes and "fell asleep" again.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Gan opened his eyes, listened to Zhou Yu's snoring, he quietly sat upright, and then slowly got out of bed and crept to the table. Sure enough, there was a letter on the table, and Jiang Gan opened it to look at it, only startling him. It turned out that the person who wrote the letter turned out to be Cai Mao of Jingzhou, and he asked Zhou Yu to immediately send troops to join him in Xiangyang City, and then occupy the entire Jingzhou.

After reading the letter, Jiang Gan turned his head to look at Zhou Yu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and he gritted his teeth and held the letter in his arms. At this time, he couldn't care about his own purpose, Jiang Gan waited for the letter, took advantage of Zhou Yu's "sleep", and left the Taishou Mansion directly under the pretense of Zhou Yu's order to wait for his entourage, and then went straight to the riverside.

Zhou Yu had already instructed his subordinates not to embarrass Jiang Gan before, so Jiang Gan returned to his boat smoothly on the way. At this time, he dared to stop, and drove out in a flat boat, heading straight to the north.

In the Taishou Mansion, Zhou Yu learned that Jiang Gan had left, and immediately sat up. The corners of his mouth flashed with a sneer: "Idle hands, let's see if he Cao Mengde will be fooled!" ”
