Pang Tong said: "Cao Mengde is dead, Hebei is empty, Cao Pi has no time to take care of himself, and Ande has to avenge Sima Yi?" He is in a hurry to return to the dynasty, he must have other plans, is he not borrowing external forces? ”

Ma Tan pondered: "In the land of Hebei, only Liaodong Gongsun Kang and Xianbei Kebineng remain, these two thieves were defeated by Cao Cao, and they made enemies against each other, and it was fortunate not to take the opportunity to retaliate, how could they help each other?" ”

"No!" Ma Liang shook his head and said: "Gongsun Kang has lived in Liaodong for a long time, and he has long had the intention of being self-reliant, but because his name is not right, he will not be hidden. If Cao Pi allows him to take the title, cede the land and give profits, and edict the king of Qin, he will come happily. Kebi can wait for the Hu species, has always been heavy on profit and forgetfulness, and the tribes often fight between each other, as long as they are lured by profit, they will send troops. ”

Pang Tong reminded: "Don't forget that there are still five Southern Xiongnu attached to the imperial court in Hexi, and Hu Chuquan is favored by the Cao family, if you go to move troops, you will definitely be rejuvenated." ”

Liu Qi suddenly frowned, and said worriedly: "Sima Yi is going to do the bad things that his grandson did in advance!" ”

Ma Tan was stunned and said, "What does the lord mean by this?" ”

Liu Qi realized the gaffe, and scolded him: "Sima Yi, this grandson, lure the wolf into the house, and it will be a big deal!" ”

Lu Su said: "If Cao Pi really listens to Sima's plan, he will be scolded by the world." The Cao clan is in turmoil, and the people's hearts are scattered, this move is just to quench their thirst, and they are disappointed, and the general needs to prepare in advance. ”

Liu Qi sighed helplessly: "The affairs of the north, we can't do it, if it is really entered by the Hu people, and the people are slaughtered, what countermeasures do you have?" ”

Ma Tan gritted his teeth and said: "Sima dog thief, dare to risk the world's disapproval?" ”

Ma Liang sighed lightly: "Tragic annihilation, Sima Yi has taken revenge on Ling Zhi, just to take revenge, unscrupulous means!" ”

Everyone frowned, each bowed their heads and thought, although everyone had been their own masters before, and they all wanted to make a name for themselves, but since the Han Dynasty, the hatred for the Xiongnu and the Hu people is the same.

Lu Su said: "The matter of Hebei, the general whip is beyond the reach of the whip, so he has to resign himself to fate, if Cao Pi is really mad, he can only send the whole army to gather the world's male soldiers to attack Hebei quickly and recover the territory." The most urgent task at the moment is to stabilize the Central Plains as soon as possible, gather momentum to move north, and launch a thunderous blow. ”

"What Zijing said is extremely true, it is better to raise the soup to stop boiling, it is better to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle!" Liu Qi sighed lightly.

It's really useless to think about the Hu people now, first pacify the Central Plains, destroy the Wei army as soon as possible, and all problems will naturally be solved.

Pang Tongyan said: "Hedong County guards Zhao Yan, has a good relationship with the same county Xinbi, and has been recommended by Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan, you can ask the three of you to write a letter to persuade you to surrender, he does not think about the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, but also should take care of the common people in the world." If it knows the current affairs, it can not only take advantage of the situation to get the east of the river, but also block the Xiongnu outside the east of the river, the north of Fenshui. ”

"That's a good plan!" Liu Qi nodded and said: "Zhao Yan and others are all Cao thief's henchmen, and people who are not shrewd and discerning are not competent, Xu Yuanzhi has been dismissed from office, so he can be asked to bring a letter and secretly go to Hedong to see Zhao Yan, and promote this matter with great righteousness." ”

Pang Tong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The lord's opinion coincides with mine, and this matter is not competent for non-Yuan Zhi." ”

Liu Qi took a deep breath, put away his hedonistic thoughts, and ordered the account to be raised, the Han family is not prosperous, everyone still needs to work hard!

On the same day, he ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Zhi to send troops, leading 20,000 troops to take Xiaopei, Lu Fan was a native of Runan, and Huang Gai, Han Dang and other Jiangdong people went to Runan to help fight to take Yuzhou, and sent someone to send a letter to Zhou Yu to take Mount Tai as soon as possible and rendezvous with Yanzhou.

……

The war in Huainan was unfavorable, Zhou Yu returned to Qingzhou, Jiang Gan was about to take the opportunity to leave, but he was invited by Zhou Yu courteously, and he wanted to make no achievements, so it was not good to see Cao Cao, so he had to follow back to Beihai.

Who knew that when he returned to the city, Cao Cao was defeated, the 100,000 Wei army was annihilated, Xuzhou was lost, Yanzhou and Yuzhou were also unfavorable, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Cao Cao's death made Jiang Gan lose his goal, like falling clouds, and he didn't know what to do every day, until a distinguished guest came to the city, and Zhou Yu personally greeted him and invited Jiang Gan to accompany him.

Seeing that the person who came was Yu Xuanang, who was not young but behaved calmly, Zhou Yu introduced the person who came was Jiangdong Lu Xun, Jiang Gan was shocked, and finally realized that the matter was extraordinary.

Huainan victory, the defeat of Cao Xiu's naval governor is Lu Xun, he came to Beihai alone, doesn't it mean that Zhou Yu has already been in contact with them, and may even have surrendered to Liu Qi?

After the dismissal, Jiang Gan invited Zhou Yu to the hall and said: "Now that Cao Cao is dead, it shows that the Han Zuo is endless, the destiny of heaven is still in the Liu family, and the virtuous brother is lonely overseas, and it is not too late to find a place to support himself and make contributions!" ”

Zhou Yu smiled lightly: "What is the high opinion of Unknown Ziyi? ”

Jiang Gan stroked his beard and said: "Since Dong Zhuo's troubled times, Haiyu has been subverted, and the heroes have risen together, and now they are all defeated. Liu Bowei rises from Jingxiang, Ke Cao swallows Wu, caresses the soft frontier, is invincible in the world, and has the wind of the ancestors. Those who prosper the Han Dynasty must be this person, and with the talent of a virtuous brother, they will be reused, and if they bring Qingzhou to vote for them, they will be able to succeed. ”

Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this, which made Jiang Gan's heart weak for a while, and he hugged his fists and said: "I know the talent of a virtuous brother, but I can't bear to cover the pearl with dust, and my talent will be buried." If the virtuous brother has this intention, I am willing to go to Xuzhou and risk death to recommend. ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing, laughed non-stop, pointed at Jiang Ganyan and said: "Ziyi, Ziyi, everyone knows that Zhou Lang is the governor of the first navy in Jiangdong, from a certain point of view, if my brother leads the navy, he will win ten times my victory!" ”

Jiang Gan was stunned and said: "Foolish brother doesn't know how to command the army, why did Gong Jin say this?" ”

Zhou Yu hugged his fists and said: "When I was in Beihai before, I persuaded a certain person to surrender to Cao, and now I am persuaded to surrender to Liu!" Seeing the ability of the wind to make the rudder, Yu is ashamed of himself! ”

"Teased, teased!" Jiang Gan's face was flushed, he waved his hand again and again, and asked: "Lu Xun went to Qingzhou, I expected that I must be entrusted by Liu Qi to be a lobbyist, the eldest husband should be aware of current affairs, and the foolish brother just advised Gongjin not to miss the opportunity and regret it for life." ”

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "In your opinion, what is Liu Qi?" ”

Jiang Ganyan said: "This talent is slightly different, pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, taking two rivers, and then continuing the Han Zuo, Liu's Ji Xing, is really a man of destiny." ”

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, and asked with a smile: "In this way, Ziyi also has the heart to submit to Liu Qi?" ”

Jiang Gan suddenly had an upright look on his face, and said loudly: "Although I am a white-clothed savage, my ancestors ate Han Lu in the last life, I am a Han people, and I should serve the country, just as Liu Bowei said: The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband." ”

Zhou Yu looked directly at Jiang Gan, seeing that he was at a loss when he lowered his head, and then said slowly: "I was originally a lobbyist sent by Cao Cao, but I couldn't persuade him to surrender, and I came to be a guest again, do you really think I don't know?" ”

"This ......" Jiang Gan knew that Zhou Yu was also a very smart person, so he couldn't help sweating behind his back, and knelt down and said: "At that time, the situation forced me to do it as a last resort. ”

"Ziyi, please get up!" Zhou Yu helped Jiang Gan up and said: "Although I know my brother's intentions, I insist on keeping you in the army, because I am worried that you will be harmed by Cao thieves!" His people are treacherous, Xu Yu and Kong Rong can't tolerate it, let alone you as a foreigner? ”

Jiang Gan couldn't help but be afraid for a while, wiped his cold sweat and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you Gongjin for your kindness, saving your life, and you won't forget it." ”

Zhou Yu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You and I are classmates and friends, there is no need for this, there is a great achievement now, if you can do it, General Liu, I will protect it." ”

Jiang Gan was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "I want to hear about it." ”
