Jiang Gan saw that Zhou Yu was disappointed in Sun Quan, and hated Liu Qi, thinking that the time had come, and was about to open his mouth to persuade him, but Zhou Yu stopped him with a word.

Along the way, he made countless ideas and prepared many rhetoric to persuade Zhou Yu, but he never expected that Zhou Yu was so obsessed with Jiangdong that he even planned to stand on his own.

For a while, the plan was chaotic, and Zhou Yu was also sad and emotional because he missed Sun Ce because he saw the old man, and he couldn't stop crying, and he was drunk and lying down at the table.

Jiang Gan had no choice but to inform Xu Sheng and help Zhou Yu to the back hall to rest, but he didn't realize that it was getting late, so he had to stay in the pavilion first and think about countermeasures.

In the bedroom, Zhou Yu had already returned to normal, and ordered: "Patrol the city tomorrow morning, and ask a few battalions of soldiers to deliberately make trouble due to lack of money and food, so that Jiang Gan can see that my food and grass are insufficient." ”

Xu Sheng was puzzled: "Since the governor used the strategy of delaying the army and pretended to promise Jiang Gan, why bother? ”

Zhou Yu sneered: "Cao thief is suspicious by nature, if I agree easily, I will not believe it, only by making an appointment on the condition can I not doubt it." ”

Xu Shengyan said: "Xiahoudun has divided his troops to attack Beihai, how should he deal with it?" ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "There is Ziyi in Beihai, but it is safe." I just took the opportunity to break Xiahoudun's army first, protect Qingzhou first, and then wait for the opportunity to deal with Cao Thief. ”

Xu Sheng took the order out, but stopped when he walked to the door, and hesitated: "There is something that my subordinates don't know whether to talk about or not." ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "I am waiting for Qingzhou to be alone, and we should work together, Wen Xiang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Xu Sheng said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, but Wu Hou left his life from Guotai and ordered Liu Qi to take charge of Jiangdong on his behalf, which is to lure the wolf into the room!" The governor was powerless to intervene in Qingzhou, why did Zhang Gong, Lu Dudu and others have no one to advise, and General Huang Lao is silent? In case Liu Qi refuses to hand over power in the future, the dove occupies the magpie's nest ......"

Zhou Yu's eyes were slightly cold, and he immediately waved his hand and smiled: "I have a reason for this matter, Wen Xiang doesn't have to worry." You just need to remember that now Cao thief is the king, and he has the heart of usurpation, we are the ministers of the Han Dynasty, and the husband must put state affairs first, and try to court thieves and support the court, which is a top priority, and Jiangdong is a family matter, and we will see it in the future. ”

Xu Sheng was stunned at the door for a moment, and left silently, wondering in his heart: Shouldn't I serve Dawu?

In the Wei camp outside the city, Xiahou waited for an afternoon, until the sun set in the west mountain, his feet were numb, and he returned to the tent.

Zhong Jinyan said: "Jiang Gan entered the city for half a day and didn't return, didn't he anger Zhou Yu and was cut down?" ”

Xiahoudun smiled and said: "Zhou Yu is Jiangdong Junjie, the confidant of the Sun family, how can he surrender easily?" Jiang Gan did not go out of the city to resume his life, and he did not see Zhou Yu hanging the head to warn, which shows that there is still room for maneuver, and he will wait for another day. ”

Zhong Jin asked: "Since Zhou Yu still has the intention of surrendering, it is better to temporarily transfer Tian Yu back to show his sincerity." ”

Xiahoudun said: "It takes two or three days to march to Beihai, and the fast horse can be recovered in one day, don't worry, if Zhou Yu is still hesitating, just use this to suppress." To make Zhou Lang understand, persuasion is just to make him more decent! ”

"Whether Zhou Lang wants to surrender or not, it is in the hands of the general!" Zhong Jin slapped his ass.

Since Xiahoudun Nanyang was captured, after coming back, the guards around him were scattered, and his two brothers were promoted from the army, and they were appreciated by Xiahoudun for their cleverness.

Now that Cao Cao is the king, seeing that Xiahoudun is about to become a relative of the emperor, he is trying his best to please him, and he will have a piece of the pie in the future.

Jiang Gan stayed awake all night in the city, and went out in the early morning in the cold wind, and was rushing to the palace, but saw many soldiers shouting at the door.

Jiang Gan stood in the distance and listened for a while, it turned out that Wu Jun was making trouble because of the Huotou army's deduction of money and food, not only reducing the food, but also mixing moldy rice and sand, and he was about to start.

Xu Sheng went out to drink away from everyone, stood at the door with a sad face, saw Jiang Gan standing in the middle of the street, hurriedly welcomed him into the palace, and explained embarrassedly: "In fact, the governor has always been rigorous in military training and extremely strict in military law, and there has never been such a thing before. ”

Jiang Gan knew it in his heart, stroked his beard and said: "As the so-called soldier eats food, the lack of food in the army is a big taboo, and even if Sun Wu is reborn, I am afraid there is nothing to be done." ”

Xu Sheng sighed: "What Mr. said is extremely true, but the governor once had an order from the general, telling me to show Mr. with majesty, so as to show the soldiers and food." Mr. must not say anything about the matter, otherwise there will be a disaster of killing the head in the future. ”

"This Zhou Lang is still so arrogant!" Jiang Gan laughed loudly, only to understand why Xu Sheng and others were murderous yesterday, it turned out to be a strong outsider and a middle-class cadre.

"I will keep this matter secret for the general!" Jiang Gan thought that he had grabbed Xu Sheng's handle, and his demeanor became confident again, seeing that Zhou Yu was not in the mansion, he asked, "Where is Gongjin?" ”

Xu Sheng said helplessly: "The governor has not seen the old man for a long time, and he confided in his heart yesterday, and he couldn't help himself for a while, and he still hasn't woken up from a hangover." ”

"Zhou Lang is really temperamental!" Jiang Gan sighed angrily, and said tentatively: "Now Jiangdong has been seized by Liu Qi, and the Cao army is attacking very urgently, there is no food in the city, you have no way to advance or retreat, has the general ever thought of a plan to retreat?" ”

Xu Sheng sighed: "The matter of Wu Hou has greatly frustrated the governor, and we also doubt whether Wu Hou has something else to hide. It's just that the governor seems to be a little delirious recently, often wandering alone and talking to himself, not daring to discuss with him, Mr. said yesterday to save the governor, I don't know what to think? ”

Jiang Ganyan said: "The lord humiliates the ministers to death, if Wu Hou is really imprisoned, you should immediately raise troops to fight." Zhou Lang also said yesterday that he remembered the cause of Jiangdong and hated Liu Qi, but now you are fighting with Cao Gong, don't you help Liu Qi, make the relatives painful, and the enemies happy? ”

"Alas, Mr. deserves to be a fellow student of the Governor!" Xu Sheng suddenly realized, patted his head and said regretfully: "A word made my mouth open, like seeing the sun through the clouds." ”

Jiang Gan said angrily: "With Zhou Lang's wisdom, in fact, he should have seen this matter clearly, but it's a pity that he is in chaos and is in the middle of the game, so he is obsessed for a while, and this so-called authority is also confused!" ”

Xu Sheng hurriedly asked, "What do you think, sir, and I hope to give advice." ”

Jiang Gan twisted his beard and said slowly: "In my opinion, it is better to join forces with Cao Gong, get rid of Liu Qi first, and the Savior's revenge is the top priority!" ”

"This ......" Xu Sheng frowned and said, "We have already formed a hatred when we clashed with Cao Jun. Now far away in Qingzhou, the boat is destroyed, how to return to Jiangdong? ”

Jiang Gan said in a low voice: "The general doesn't know, Duke Cao sent me here this time, and he is intending to accept Zhou Lang and join forces to deal with Liu Qi. ”

Xu Sheng frowned slightly, and hesitated again: "Most of the governors are arrogant, afraid of Wu Hou, and they are not willing to be subordinate, but they are angry with him." ”

"There is a shortage of food in the city, and you are at the end of your rope, how can Gong Jin not know?" Jiang Gan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Xu Sheng's heart, and took the opportunity to say: "If the general is willing to persuade Zhou Lang to surrender to Cao with me, he can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Xu Sheng was really moved, and asked after a moment of silence: "But I don't know what conditions Prime Minister Cao promised?" ”

"Conditions?" Jiang Gan was stunned.

Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes and sneered: "Nonsense, who surrenders without conditions?" ”
