Chapter 471 Jiang Ganzhong
Jiang Gan took the initiative to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, knowing that Zhou Yu had the style of a countryman, had great ambitions, and attached great importance to fame, so he should persuade him with the righteousness of current affairs.
Knowing the times is a good man, and knowing righteousness is loyalty.
On the condition of fame and fortune, it is an insult to Zhou Lang, and it will backfire.
At this time, Xu Sheng put forward the conditions, Jiang Gan was dumbfounded, and said in amazement: "I don't know what the general wants?" ”
"Life is in the world, but fame and fortune!" Xu Sheng smiled: "If you descend to Cao, you will be scolded and your reputation will be ruined." Since you can't ask for fame, you have to make profits, with your strength and worth, what does Mr. think is worth? ”
"Uh, this ......" Jiang Gan scolded these vulgar martial artists in his heart, only caring about his immediate interests, but his face was full of deep disapproval, and said: "This matter is unprecedented, I don't dare to rashly assess, I don't know what the general plans to do?" ”
Xu Sheng touched his chin and pondered: "In the past, Liu Qi captured Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun, and they were all redeemed for two or three million dollars and grain, although a certain identity is not as noble as the two of them, but he is not a prisoner of the lower ranks, and he has the merit of persuading the governor to surrender, what is the matter...... You have to have two million dollars, right? ”
"Two-two...... Million? Jiang Gan was dumbfounded, and said angrily: "The dignified Jiangdong general, he is waiting for the price to sell, isn't it laughed at when it is passed out?" ”
Xu Sheng looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and shrugged: "Anyway, if you want to lower Cao, you are not afraid of another infamy." ”
"You ......" Jiang Gan pointed at Xu Sheng and couldn't speak, if he could tell dozens of great truths to Zhou Yu, the children of the family, but for this kind of martial artist, he was speechless, took a deep breath and said: "This is too much, I can't make my own decisions privately." ”
Xu Sheng stared at Jiang Gan and said in a low voice, "I didn't say that I couldn't bargain!" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Gan's eyes widened, and he looked at Xu Sheng in disbelief, the dignified Jiangdong general, at this moment, he was no different from the snobs in the market who quarreled over buying two catties of pork.
If he can persuade Zhou Yu to surrender this time, Cao Cao will have a heavy reward, and he doesn't care about rewarding him, but the main thing is to make meritorious contributions, famous bamboo silk, what is the wealth of mere property?
Even if Cao Cao's reward is not much, with his family property, it is not a problem to take out one million, as long as Zhou Yu submits to Cao Cao, his status is comparable to Jia Xu.
Jiang Gan's heart was spinning, he pressed the price hard, gritted his teeth and said: "At most-one million eight million!" ”
Xu Sheng slapped the table: "Deal!" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Gan had never bargained with anyone in his life, but when he saw the smile on Xu Sheng's face and the light in his eyes, he knew that he had suffered a big loss, and frowned: "That one and a half million, how about it?" ”
"Hey, sir, that's wrong!" Xu Sheng waved his hand and said: "Gong is a famous man in Jianghuai, don't you hear a gentleman's words that it is difficult to chase a horse?" If this matter gets out, I'm afraid people will laugh at it. ”
"That's it!" Jiang Gan was very painful, but he had to nod and agree, Xu Sheng, this puppet is shameless, and I Jiang can't be shameless!
Xu Sheng was overjoyed, and immediately spread out the pen and paper from the desk and polished the ink himself: "In this case, please ask Mr. to make a note." ”
"You-" Jiang Gan came back to his senses and said unhappily: "The general still can't believe it?" ”
Xu Sheng said: "Although Mr. is full of words, after all, there is no basis for his words. In the next future, the official position will be under the gentleman, and there is also a place where he can't help himself. With the guarantee, there is no worries in the future, so we can do our best to help. ”
"How can you be a dishonest person?" Jiang Gan was very dissatisfied, "Even if you fight to bankrupt your family, I will never owe you a copper." ”
But seeing that Xu Sheng had already grinded it, he had to step forward and write down the note, and Xu Sheng took cinnabar and asked him to press the handprint.
Jiang Gan was extremely disgusted by this move, it was obvious that Xu Sheng didn't believe him, and complained: "If the general votes for Liu Qi, it is very suitable." ”
"Well, sir's words are reasonable!" Xu Sheng accepted the note, put it in his arms, and nodded thoughtfully.
A raccoon dog with a similar smell!
Jiang Gan scolded in his heart, but there was no reason to talk about this kind of scoundrel in the market, so he had to swallow his anger and clench his fists and said: "Please general, please ask Gongjin to come out and talk." ”
"Wrap it up on me!" Xu Sheng strode away.
Jiang Gan secretly cursed Xu Sheng for a while, and finally felt better, so he sat down to drink tea quietly, waiting for Zhou Yu to come and see him.
Not long after, Xu Sheng asked Zhou Yu to come out of the back hall and tell him that there was a shortage of money and food in the city, and that the soldiers were making trouble, and if the matter was not dealt with as soon as possible, it might cause a mutiny.
Zhou Yu first read the grain book on the bookcase, frowned and said: "The money and grain are in Beihai, and the Cao army is besieging the city, how should this be good?" ”
Xu Sheng hugged his fists and said: "When Mr. Jiang came yesterday, he said that he was to save the governor, and he must have a high opinion." ”
Zhou Yu only noticed Jiang Gan sitting in the hall at this time, was taken aback, hurriedly got up to apologize, turned around and scolded Xu Sheng in a low voice: "This is a secret in the army, how can outsiders know?" ”
Xu Sheng's face was like earth, and he didn't dare to answer, Jiang Gan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Gongjin doesn't have to hide it, when I came this morning, I saw everything in my eyes." ”
"Let Ziyi see a smile!" Zhou Yu sighed and invited Jiang Gan to take a seat: "Unknown Ziyi, what is the best way to save me?" ”
Jiang Ganyan said: "Liu Qi stole Jiangdong, why didn't Gongjin surrender to Cao ......"
"Shut up!" Zhou Yu Huo Ran got up and shouted: "A certain person is entrusted by Bo Fu to be lonely, how can it be the second master?" ”
Jiang Gan saw that Zhou Yu was still so stubborn, and remembered what he said after drinking yesterday, and knew that persuasion was fruitless, so he had to retreat and look at Xu Sheng secretly.
Xu Sheng said boldly: "Governor, now that we are trapped in the city, we will definitely run out of food and defeat in three or five days. Wu Hou had already made peace with Cao Cheng, so why not join forces with him first, get rid of Liu Qi, and rescue Wu Hou? ”
"Teaming up?" Zhou Yu's eyes were slightly cold, and after thinking for a moment, he said helplessly: "It has to be like this, this expedition has made Wu Hou imprisoned, and the shame of the real subordinates, if you don't get rid of Liu Qi, you will not give up." ”
Jiang Gan was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Gong Jin is willing to join forces with Cao Chengxiang?" ”
"Ziyi!" Zhou Yu let out a long sigh, stroked Jiang Ganzhi's back and said, "You and I have been classmates for many years, don't I know the hard work of the virtuous brother?" However, the Lord humiliated his ministers to death, and Yu Gou was completely mutilated, and he really avenged the Savior! Wu Hou is still here, and An can do something against the Lord at this time? ”
"Brother is really a righteous person!" Jiang Gan nodded solemnly and said, "With Cao Cheng's help, it is easy to get back Jiangdong with his talents." ”
Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly, and said: "Qingzhou is no longer useful to me, I am willing to exchange this place for Guangling County, I don't know what the prime minister wants?" ”
"This ...... This matter is not up to my brother. Jiang Gan shook his head with his beard, but thought that this trip had been gained, and said: "However, if you exchange one state for one county, you can directly take Jiangdong, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng will be able to agree, so I will write to Xuzhou to report." ”
"Thank you, Ziyi!" Zhou Yu was greatly moved, but frowned and said: "But it is thousands of miles away from Xuzhou, and it will take three or five days for the fast horse to return, and the food in our army has been exhausted, so I am afraid of ......."
"What's so hard about that?" Jiang Gan twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Xiahoudun is outside the city, as long as Gongjin writes a letter, the two families can form an alliance." My brother is willing to go to the camp to borrow 50,000 grains to help you tide over this difficulty. ”
"Good guy!" Zhou Yu grabbed Jiang Gan's shoulder and said movingly: "Yu knows Zigan, there are no regrets in this life!" ”
