Xiahoudun was in Qingzhou, and he also knew that his advance would affect Cao Cao's southern expedition, and urged his soldiers to attack the city for days, but with little success.

Zhou Yu not only made proper arrangements, but also poured ice water on the city every few days, causing a setback to the Wei army and demoralizing it day by day.

In January, the siege of the city was not down, Wang Ling offered advice: "Qingzhou is in the Beihai Sea, and Zhou Yu is trapped here today, so he can divide his troops to take Beihai first, and the Wu army will be in chaos without a fight." ”

"That's a great plan!" Xiahou was overjoyed and looked around: "Who is going to take Beihai?" ”

The generals bowed their heads one after another, and Zhong Jin said: "General Tian once guarded the Beihai Sea and is familiar with geography and human feelings, and he is the only one. ”

"That's exactly what I want!" Xiahoudun immediately ordered Tian Yu to lead his troops to take Beihai.

Tian Yu frowned and said: "Beihai City is much more dangerous than Linzi, Zhou Yu is good at using soldiers, he must be prepared, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed." ”

Zhong Jin sneered: "General Tian lost Beihai, this is the time to atone for his crimes. Zhou Yu's main forces are all in Linzi, and the general is still prevaricating, could it be that he has two hearts? ”

Since Zhong Xuan and Xin Bi surrendered without a fight, Cao Pi strictly examined the court, and brought the family members of the subordinate high-ranking officials and guards from various places to Handan, and the Cao clan was very sensitive to this.

Xiahoudun's face sank when he heard this, and he said coldly: "Tian Guorang, dare you resist my general's order?" ”

Tian Yu had no choice but to lead 10,000 troops to Beihai, and Xiahoudun sent Wang Ling to join the army, and the deadline was half a month to take the city, otherwise military law would be engaged.

After dividing the troops, Xiahoudun surrounded Linzi, did not call Zhou Yu to support, and ordered the four gates to attack the city, as long as there is a city to break, Zhou Yu will be defeated.

The next day, the soldiers were full of food and were gathering with drums to prepare for the siege, when suddenly the soldiers came to report that Cao Cao sent Jiang Gan to meet them.

Xiahou was uneasy when he entered the tent, and asked, "The king sent Mr. to be a military advisor because of the unfavorable war?" ”

Jiang Gan stroked his beard and smiled: "The king knows Zhou Gongjin's strategy very well, and he does not blame the general. It is not military to come down, please stop the army for the time being and retreat, I will ask Zhou Lang to surrender. ”

Xiahoudun was shocked: "What is the clever plan of sir? ”

Jiang Gan said with a smile: "I and Zhou Gongjin are close friends, just go into the city to meet, you don't have to use a knife or a gun, just rely on a three-inch tongue, you can ask the king to accept Zhou Yu, and the general to take Xuzhou!" ”

Xiahoudun said: "It turns out that the king has already made arrangements, and there is Mr. Lao." ”

Jiang Gan wrote a letter, asking Xiahoudun to send someone to the city to shoot into the city, waiting for Zhou Yu's reply, and sure enough, the defenders in the city replied after a while, telling Xiahoudun to retreat, and only Jiang Gan was allowed to enter the city alone

Xiahoudun said worriedly: "Mr. enters the city alone, I am afraid that it will be dangerous. ”

Jiang Gan laughed and said: "Don't say that I have a good relationship with Zhou Lang, even if I don't know all my life, I am also willing to be Su and Zhang, I go in and out of the enemy city, and I still walk in the backyard!" ”

"Sir, what a hero!" Xiahoudun was overjoyed, so he ordered people to prepare horses for Jiang Gan, and ordered each regiment to retreat to three miles away.

Seeing the city gate slowly open, Jiang Gan Ge scarf cloth robe, sitting upright and immediately entering, just after the city gate road, I saw two rows of armored guards standing neatly, swords and guns, murderous, and couldn't help but change his face greatly.

Hearing that the city gate behind him was closed, Jiang Gan hurriedly dismounted and asked urgently: "I am the old friend of the governor of Zhou, are you rude?" ”

Xu Sheng stepped forward with an ancient ingot knife and shouted: "Your Excellency is from Cao Ying, you must be a spy of Cao Jun, why do you want to make friends?" ”

Jiang Gan took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and laughed inwardly: "I miss my old friends and risk death to save me." I don't want to be dignified Jiangdong Zhoulang, but I treat the old people like this, wouldn't it be laughed at by the people of the world when it is passed out? ”

Xu Sheng was surprised: "Mr. is here to save the Grand Duke?" ”

Jiang Gan saw that Xu Sheng didn't dare to make a move, so he snorted slightly and turned his head, grabbed his beard and squinted at the sky, and didn't pay attention to it anymore.

"Please!" Xu Sheng gritted his teeth secretly, ordered someone to get out of the way, and took Jiang Gan into the city.

Looking at the murderous soldiers on both sides, although Jiang Gan's heart was pounding, he had to force his composure at this time, came to the mansion, and saw Zhou Yu reading the documents at the desk.

Xu Sheng entered the interior to tell him, Zhou Yu raised his head, and saw that his eyes were confused, full of exhaustion, Jiang Gan sighed: "Jiangdong Zhou Lang is so beautiful, I don't want to be so haggard!" ”

Zhou Yu looked indifferent, put down the scroll and asked, "Ziyi is good and hard, he has traveled far away to the rivers and lakes, is he a lobbyist for the Cao family?" ”

Jiang Gan was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "I haven't been here for a long time, Wen Gongjin was trapped in Qingzhou, and he came to rescue him, but he was so suspicious of me, and he said goodbye!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but he saw Xu Sheng standing at the door with a knife, and shouted: "I'm afraid you can't come and go!" ”

Jiang Gan was shocked, pointed at Zhou Yu and said in a trembling voice: "How can you treat the deceased like this? ”

"Hahaha, Ziyi is shocked!" Zhou Yu suddenly laughed, went down to the hall to hold Jiang Gan's arm, and said with a smile: "I am not a guest of the Cao family, I should reminisce about the past, and I am just joking!" ”

"Tricks?" Jiang Gan was stunned, arrogantly pushed Zhou Yu away, wiped his sweat and said, "I'm sweating!" ”

Zhou Yu instructed Xu Sheng: "This is my classmate and friend, although he is from Cao Ying, he is not a guest of the Cao family, and the general does not need to doubt it. ”

Then he ordered a banquet to be set up, and sat down with Jiang Gan, only half a jar of turbid wine was served, and the cups and plates were very simple, only three plates of pickles and dried fish, which looked very shabby.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Yu stopped his glass and sighed: "My old friend is here, and he should be treated well, but I am trapped in the city, there is a shortage of food and grass inside, there are no reinforcements outside, only turbid wine and pickles, I am really ashamed of Ziyi." ”

"Therefore, the old friends are more important than the heart, although the spring water is also nectar!" Jiang Gan shook his head slightly, and said tentatively: "Now Jiangdong has been stolen by Liu Qi, and Gongjin is beyond the reach of the whip, so I don't know what to do?" ”

"Hmph, Sun Quan is so stupid, and Ande is the lord of Jiangdong?" Zhou Yu was really furious, and said coldly: "I knew this was the case, I should have raised the title of Bofu back then, why is there any shame today?" ”

Jiang Gan was overjoyed when he heard this, and took the opportunity to provoke: "With the following martial arts strategy, if you meet the Ming Lord, you can compare with Wei and Huo, and you will be able to be famous!" However, Sun Zhongmou had no plan, and he handed over Jiangdong to others, which has never been done in ancient times, and I also feel sorry for Gongjin. ”

Zhou Yu drank several glasses of stuffy wine and muttered: "The husband is in the world, he meets the master of his confidant, the righteousness of the monarch and the minister outside, and the grace of the flesh and blood inside, his words must be done, his plans must be followed, and the blessings and misfortunes are shared, what are the regrets in life?" However, God is jealous of talents, Bo Fu was killed, he is not a person, my heart is like a knife, who else in the world is worthy of Zhou Yu's entrustment? ”

Jiang Ganyan said: "Today's momentum has been broken, Gongjin is in a dilemma so far, Liu Qi and Cao Gong are fighting in the north and south, and the lords of the world are the only two of them." With my brother's high talent, it would be a pity if he was buried here, and he needed to think about countermeasures as soon as possible. ”

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Qi drilled the camp, plotted Jiangdong, I swear to destroy it!" ”

Jiang Gan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What about Prime Minister Cao?" ”

"Cao Mengde? Hmph-" Zhou Yu snorted coldly, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Since I came out, I want to do great things with Bo Fu, and the industry of Jiangdong is created by the two of us. Now Sun Quan can't keep it, I am entrusted with the responsibility of orphans, if I don't take it back, what face will I have to see Bo Fu in the future? ”

Jiang Gan was shocked when he heard this, the wine glass fell to the ground, and he said in a trembling voice: "Gong Jin wants to ...... Want to be self-reliant? ”
