As Kan Ze expected, the letter obtained by Cao Cao was Cai Zhong and Cai He's report on Huang Gai's punishment. Cao Cao read the letter and said to Kan Ze: "Mr. Lao will return to Jiangdong to make an appointment with Huang Gongfu, and then I will send troops to meet the river." ”

Kan Ze said: "I have left Jiangdong and do not want to return, the prime minister can send another person." ”

Cao Cao didn't want to leave when he saw Kan Ze coming, and he had no doubts in his heart, so he said to Kan Ze: "If I send others, I don't worry, wouldn't it be dangerous if something leaks?" I still have to bother Mr. ”

Kan Ze excused himself again before saying: "If this is the case, I can't stop for a long time, so I will leave and set off." ”

Cao Cao ordered people to give gold and silver, but Kan Ze did not accept it, and said goodbye to the camp. drove the boat back to Jiangdong to see Huang Gai and talk about Cao Ying's affairs.

Huang Gai listened to Kan Ze talk about the thrilling place, and broke out in a cold sweat, and said happily: "If it weren't for Derun's ability to argue, my beating would have been in vain." ”

Kan Ze said with a smile: "Thanks to the governor who left Cai Zhong and Cai He before, he was able to deceive Cao Cao. I'll go to the young tent and deceive them again. ”

Huang Gai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Derun's plan is very good. Youping and the Governor already knew about our plan, and Derun would go by himself. ”

Kan Ze resigned Huang Gai and came to Zhou Tai's tent, and when he saw Cai Zhong and Cai He standing beside Zhou Tai, he said: "General Youping was humiliated by Zhou Gongjin yesterday to save Huang Gongfu, my heart is quite unfair, could it be that the general can endure this?" ”

Zhou Tai understood in his heart when he heard this, and cooperated: "Zhou Gongjin relies on his own ability, and he doesn't think of us at all. I was humiliated by it, and I was ashamed to see the people of Jiangdong! After that, he gritted his teeth and screamed.

Kan Ze glanced at Cai Zhong and Cai He, and then whispered in Zhou Tai's ear. Cai Zhong and Cai He couldn't hear what Kan Ze said, so they looked at Zhou Tai's reaction. I saw Zhou Tai bowing his head and saying nothing, sighing a few times.

Cai Zhong and Cai He guessed that Kan Ze and Zhou Tai all had objections, so they said tentatively: "Why is General Zhou troubled? What is Mr. Kan's grievances? ”

Kan Ze said: "Where do you know the pain in my belly!" ”

Cai He said: "Could it be that the two of you want to go back to Jiangdong and vote for Cao Cao?" ”

Kan Ze was shocked when he heard this: "This ...... We don't mean that! How good is that? ”

Zhou Tai saw that Kan Ze was panicked and couldn't reach his words, so he drew his knife and said: "What is there to say that our matter has been discovered, we should kill it to extinguish it!" "Let's cut Cai He.

Cai Zhong saw that Cai He was hacked to death by dodging left and right, and hurriedly said: "General, stop!" We also have confidants to tell you. ”

Zhou Tai raised the knife and said: "Don't you want to delay!" If words are useless, I will kill both of you. ”

Cai He said: "The two of us were sent by Prime Minister Cao Cheng to surrender. If the second prince has the heart of obedience, we should be recommended by the guarantee. ”

Kan Ze pretended to be puzzled and said, "Is this true? ”

Cai Zhongcai and said in unison: "It's true! ”

Zhou Tai said happily when he heard this: "If this is the case, it is a godsend!" ”

Cai Zhong said: "The humiliation of Huang Gongfu and General Zhou, we have already reported it to the prime minister. ”

Kan Ze said: "I have dedicated a letter of surrender to Huang Gongfu, and when I came to see Youping today, I made an appointment to surrender together." ”

Zhou Taidao: "Since the husband meets the master, he should be like-minded. ”

After the four of them expressed their thoughts, there was no estrangement immediately, so Zhou Tai set up wine in the tent and drank together. Cai Zhong, Cai He wrote a letter to Cao Cao during the banquet: "Zhou Tai and I are equal to internal responses. ”

Kan Ze also wrote a letter ordering Cai Zhong and Cai He to forward it to Cao Cao, and the book said: "Huang Gai wants to surrender but he can't get it, but there is an opportunity to put a green tooth flag on the bow of the ship to surrender, and the prime minister responds." ”

Cao Cao got the letters of the two in a row, and he was puzzled. The gathered generals discussed: "Jiangdong Zhou Tai was humiliated by Zhou Yu and wished to be an internal response. Huang Gai was reprimanded Kan Ze to offer a book to surrender. The two are not yet convinced, who dares to enter Zhou Yuzhai to listen to the truth? ”

Jiang Gan has not been very welcome to Cao Cao since he came back from stealing books, he thought about it for a while, and guessed that he might have fallen for Zhou Yu's counter-plot. Cao Cao didn't mention this matter for the sake of face, Jiang Gan naturally wouldn't ask Cao Cao for confirmation, so he could only live patiently in Cao Cao's cold eyes. Jiang Gan understood that if there was no accident, he would probably be difficult to be reused by Cao Cao in this life. At this moment, when he heard that Cao Cao had another task to go to Jiangdong, Jiang Gan felt that it was an opportunity, and said at that time: "I went to Jiangdong the day before yesterday and said that Zhou Yu was ashamed that he failed to succeed. Now I am willing to give up my life to spy and repay the prime minister. ”

Although Cao Cao was quite displeased because Jiang had fallen for Zhou Yu's plan, he was still very sure of his courageous attitude. In the final analysis, the reason why Jiang Gan was tricked was a matter of ability, not loyalty, so Cao Cao didn't kill Jiang Gan even if he didn't like it. At this time, seeing that Jiang Gan was willing to atone for his crimes, Cao Cao was very pleased, so he also ordered Jiang Gan to visit.

Jiang Gan, like last time, took his servants and drove a small boat to Jiangdong Water Village, and ordered the soldiers to inform Zhou Yu. When Zhou Yu heard that Jiang Gan had arrived again, he was happy and worried. The joy is because Zhou Yu guessed Jiang Gan's intention and knew that as long as he deceived Jiang Gan, he could deceive Cao Cao to deceive him. The worry is that once Huang Gai successfully surrendered, he would immediately use fire to attack, and at this time, the fire attack preparations had not yet been completed.

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said to the soldier: "You can say that I have no leisure for the time being on official business, so I will lead him to the tent to rest first." Remember to keep a strict watch in secret, and don't let him wander around and inquire at will. ”

The soldier was ordered to go, and Zhou Yu said to Lu Su again: "Zi Jing quickly went to invite the national teacher, Kong Ming, and Shiyuan to come, I have something important to discuss." ”

Lu Su didn't dare to delay when he heard this, and invited the three of them to arrive after a while. Zhou Yu saw that the three of them first told the cause and effect, and then asked: "Now that the strategy of deception has been completed, most of the plan of fire attack has been accomplished. It's just that a boat on the river is on fire, and the rest of the boats are scattered, I don't know how to do it all? I also asked the national teacher and the two gentlemen to teach me. ”

Zhuge Liang frowned and thought when he heard this, while Nan Ye looked at Pang Tong. Pang Tong saw Nan Ye looking at him and smiled slightly: "This matter is easy!" The governor could send a serial plan to nail the ship in one place, and then it would be successful. ”

Zhou Yuqi said: "Cao Cao is cunning, how can he nail the warship into a place to tie his hands and feet?" ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang heard the serial plan, he instantly understood what Pang Tong thought, and said with a smile: "As long as you say something, you can definitely bewitch Cao Cao, and the governor can order someone to say such and ......."

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Pang Tong and said: "If you can do this and Cao Cao doesn't know it, it must be Mr. Shiyuan!" Dare to ask Mr. Lao to visit. ”

Pang Tong listened to Zhou Yu's dispatch and looked at Nan Ye. Nan Ye nodded in agreement: "This plan really needs Shi Yuan to go. As long as you are careful, you can go without worry. ”

Zhou Yu was very happy to hear Nan Ye's promise, if Pang Tong could succeed here, Cao Cao would be defeated, even if he couldn't succeed and Pang Tong would be killed, he could also get rid of Nan Ye's arm. So while discussing with Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, he sent someone to invite Jiang Gan.

When Jiang Gan came this time, he saw that Zhou Yu not only did not line up to greet him, but put himself aside first, and he panicked in his heart, guessing that his theft of the book had been discovered by Zhou Yu. Regardless of whether Zhou Yu used a counter-plot last time, Jiang Gan's book theft was unreasonable. Therefore, before Jiang Gan came, he hoped that Zhou Yu did not find out that he had stolen the book, but the situation at this time just showed that Zhou Yu had been on guard against him, so I am afraid that he would not be able to complete the task again, and maybe he would be killed by Zhou Yu, which made Jiang Gan not panic? So Jiang Gan left a back hand and ordered the servants to wait on the boat, and if there was anything wrong, he could slip away.

Just when Jiang Gan was restless, the soldiers led him into Zhou Yushuai's tent. At this time, Nan Ye and the others had already left, and there were only Zhou Yu and a group of warriors in the tent.

Zhou Yu saw Jiang Gan and said, "Why did Ziyi bully me too much? ”

Jiang Gan could only smile and pretend to be stupid at this time: "Gong Jin and I are classmates and friends, why are we here to talk about the old days?" ”

Zhou Yu said angrily: "The last time I remembered the old love, I asked you to drink and get drunk, and leave you to lie together." Who knew that you actually stole my letter and returned to Cao Cao without saying goodbye, causing Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to die, so that I couldn't do a big thing. If you come again today without a cause, you will have bad intentions. If you want to say that it will come down to me, unless the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten. ”

Jiang Gan was shocked when he saw Zhou Yu so angry, and he didn't know if Zhou Yu used a counter-trick last time, let alone how to justify it.

Zhou Yu didn't wait for Jiang Gan to speak, and continued: "If it weren't for the old feelings, I would definitely cut you in two." But if you are allowed to leave, you will have to leak the military information again. Someone came, and sent Ziyi to rest in the Xishan Nunnery. When I break Cao Cao, it's not too late to send you across the river. ”

Jiang Gan wanted to say again, but Zhou Yu had already left the account. In the tent, the warrior sent Jiang Gan directly to the small nunnery behind the West Mountain to rest, and sent two soldiers to guard the ambush.

This small nunnery behind the mountain is very remote, and if no one leads the way, you can't go down the mountain at all. Therefore, the two guards were also idle, and went to rest at night, allowing Jiang Gan to walk among the mountains.

Jiang Gan was depressed in his heart and restless in his sleep. Seeing that the two soldiers were gone, he took advantage of the starry sky to walk out of the nunnery alone. But when I arrived at the hermitage, I saw that it was dark and the dense forest road was difficult to distinguish, and there was a faint sound of wolves howling and tiger roars in the distance, and Jiang Gan did not dare to leave lightly. He saw that it was difficult to pass in front of the hermitage, so he went around the back of the hermitage again, and suddenly heard the sound of reading.

Compared with the howling of wolves and tigers in front of the hermitage, the sound of reading behind the nunnery is particularly pleasant. Jiang Gan pushed open the back door and searched for it, and saw several thatched huts on the side of the mountain rock not far away, with lights shining out inside.

Jiang Gan came to the grass house and peeked inside, only to see a person hanging a sword lamp, reciting Sun Tzu's book of soldiers. Jiang Gan thought in his heart: "This person must be a hermit master, or he can help me get out." "I want to knock softly and ask to see you.

The people in the house heard someone call the door and opened the door to greet him, and Jiang Gan frowned when he saw this person's appearance. I saw that this man had triangular eyes, broom eyebrows, and rolled nostrils, which was very ugly. However, Jiang Gan did not dare to be rude at this time, so he stepped forward to report to his home, and asked the other party's name and surname.

The man replied, "My name is Pang Tong, and my name is Shiyuan." Mr. Ziyi asked the room to speak. ”

Jiang Gan was shocked when he heard that Pang Tong had signed up, and with Zhuge Liang's burning of Xinye, the names of Wolong and Phoenix Chicks were also widely known. It's just that after Pang Tong voted for Nan Ye, he learned the new law of Jiaozhou in the mansion and served Nan Ye as a staff member, and there was no amazing record, so few people knew that Pang Tong had joined Nan Ye. Jiang Gan only knew Pang Tong's name but didn't know him, so he was inevitably surprised: "Could it be Mr. Feng Yan?" ”

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Yes! ”
