"Hiss"

Jiang Gan took a deep breath and said in his heart, how did he forget this stubble? must have been too excited, so he thanked him with a smile:

"Thank you sir for reminding me, Jiang Gan is a lot of trouble, so I will leave."

"Please"

Jia Xu motioned to his subordinates to send Jiang Gan out of the house, this old fox has a very good grasp of people's hearts, and he is not willing to do anything that offends people.

Jiang Gan was originally a marginal guest raised by Sikong Mansion, and the first time he came in handy was to serve as a guide for Cao Cao, and then if it wasn't for Guo Jia's accidental recommendation, he would not have been gradually taken seriously.

It can be said that Guo Jia has the grace to support Jiang Gan, and Jia Xu's sideways intervention may not necessarily drive Jiang Gan, but may make Guo Jia feel dissatisfied.

What do you mean? My Guo Jia is not strategic? Leave me alone and ask Jia Xu for advice?

Jia Xu was proficient in Gou Dao and unwilling to take risks, so he thought that it would be over if he raised the point and sent Jiang Gan away.

But two hours later, Jiang Gan actually went and returned.

Guo Jia thought of several countermeasures for Jiang Gan, but either the difficulty was too high to control, or it took too long to affect Cao Cao's plan.

Just as Jiang Gan said goodbye, Guo Jia took the initiative to suggest that Jiang Gan consult Jia Xu, and praised Jia Xu in person for being good at scheming or having a good plan to settle Jingzhou affairs.

Jia Xu saw that Jiang Gan sincerely asked for advice, so he pointed out a line of thought.

"The suggestions given by Guo Saijiu are all about using external forces to put pressure on Liu Biao, why not face the problem itself? I heard that Liu Biao's physical condition is not good, and he must often take tonic decoction to prolong his life, so why not work medicine?

Liu Biao is over sixty years old, how many years can he live? If Cai Kuai and others support their youngest son to succeed to the throne, Liu Bei will help Liu Qi fight for power, then won't Jingzhou be the same as Hebei? ”

"Wonderful." Jiang Gan clapped his hands and nodded, and added like an afterthought: "As soon as Liu Biao dies, the sons will fight for power, won't Jingzhou be in chaos?" At that time, the lord will be able to make a profit, Mr. is really talented, thank you Mr. for teaching, I understand. ”

"No, no, no." Jia Xu hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't give a lesson, just a little mention, it was realized by myself, if it was a fluke, it was also a strategy, and it could not be counted on Jia's head." ”

"Great, thank you"

Jiang Gan remembered Jia Xu's personality, and said in his heart that you don't want to compete with Guo Xianjiu, then I have no choice but to be disrespectful.

Jia Xu was afraid that Jiang Gan would not understand it thoroughly, so when he sent the other party out of the house, he couldn't help but ask:

"Now that you have come to your senses, can you tell me what to do?"

"Huh? Good. ”

Jiang Gan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that you want me to say it to my face, and then satisfy my sense of superiority? It's a strange fetish, but being favored should be reciprocated, and this small requirement must be met.

"It's still early today, I'm going to go to the city to get some poison before I go."

"Stop, what poison?"

Seeing Jia Xu's innocent face, Jiang Gan scratched his head and asked:

"It's not you who got me from the medicine. I'm thinking about bringing it to General Cai and asking his sister to wait for the opportunity to give it to Liu Biao."

"What?" Jia Xu was speechless, and said in his heart, "Are you enlightened?" Then asked with a bitter face: "Let General Cai's sister murder her husband, do you think he will agree?" Even if the Cai family sisters and brothers are really ruthless, I am afraid that they will be scapegoats at their feet."

"Huh? That"

Jiang Gan was so shocked that he swallowed his saliva, and said in his heart, isn't it poisoned?

"Life and death are small, if you let the officials and people of Jingzhou hate Sikong, your sin will be great."

After listening to Jia Xu's reminder, Jiang Gan hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a grateful face: "If it weren't for Mr. reminding, I almost missed a big thing, please teach me sir."

"Ahem."

Jia Xu coughed lightly twice, and muttered: "You should not understand pharmacology, poisons are harmful in most cases, but they can cure diseases in special times, on the contrary, although tonic medicine is beneficial to the body, excessive tonic can also kill people."

"I see."

Jiang Gan suddenly realized, and then he was as happy as a child, his hands and feet swayed uncontrollably: "I realized, I really understood, thank you sir, thank you sir." ”

Jiang Gan suddenly realized, and then he was as happy as a child, his hands and feet swayed uncontrollably: "I realized, I really understood, thank you sir, thank you sir." ”

"It has nothing to do with me, it's my own understanding"

"Yes, yes, yes, I realized it myself, and it has nothing to do with Mr." Jiang Gan hurriedly agreed.

Out of Jiafu, Jiang Gan searched in Xudu for half a day, harvested several precious medicinal materials, and rushed to Xiangyang the next day.

Since Liu Bei won Guanzhong, Liu Biao always mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, and said that Liu Qi had Liu Bei's help, and it was only a matter of time before he took Hanzhong, and revealed the idea of establishing a successor.

If Liu Bei and Liu Qi were in Jingzhou, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue would still be able to find a way to restrain them, but now the two of them are like fish in the sea, and they can only slowly watch each other sit up.

Just when he didn't know where to start, Jiang Gan came to Xiangyang with letters and gifts, and the advice he gave hit it off with Cai Mao.

Under Jiang Gan's guidance and advice, Cai Mao also realized the essence of tonic.

Considering that the amount of Jiang Gan's medicinal materials was not enough, Cai Mao bought them through various channels, and finally sent the medicine to Liu Biao's house, and instructed Cai's to boil it every day.

Liu Biao is old and frail, and frequent tonics are like taking poison.

This is like the palace jade liquor with a group of heroes, but the people of the 'great supplement' are becoming weaker and weaker, and their bodies are getting worse day by day.

The Cai family blew the pillow wind inside, and Cai Mao formed a wide range of henchmen outside, paving the way for Liu Cong to succeed to the throne.

Jiang Gan's mission was carried out smoothly, and Cao Cao was very pleased after receiving the information.

Soon after marrying Cao Pi in Xudu, he set off for Yecheng in November.

Taking advantage of the relative stability of the rear and the internal friction of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Cao Cao wanted to seize time to take Hebei.

After careful consideration, Cao Cao still adopted Zhong Xuan's suggestion to use Guanzhong as bait, and then sent additional envoys to Liangzhou to meet Ma Teng and Han Sui.

hopes that the two fish can bite the hook and send troops to contain or drive Liu Bei away for him.

Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were frontier warriors, were affected by the limitations of the surrounding alien races, and they all developed a kind of 'capricious' general nature, that is, all decisions are made with survival and interests first.

As for the qualities valued by the Central Plains people such as loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, they are dispensable in the eyes of the border warriors.

Ma Teng's family was poor when he was young, and he lived a living in order to make a living, because he was tall and mighty, when he rebelled in Liangzhou and Qiang, he joined the official army and was reused, and was soon promoted to a partial general; (Zhou Yu was only a partial general until his death, and Guan Yu was named a partial general when he surrendered to Cao in Xiapi)

Seeing that the future was immeasurable, Geng Contempt (Liangzhou Assassin History) was killed by his generals, Ma Teng immediately united with Han Sui and others, and then joined the rebels and became a rebel;

Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Li Dao rebelled in Chang'an, and recruited Ma Teng and Han Sui to become official soldiers, but later begged Li Dao for personal matters and did not allow it, so he raised troops to attack Li Dao, and returned to Liangzhou after defeat.

The living environment in the border area is complicated, and if Ma Teng and Han Sui do not jump back and forth, they may be killed in a rebellion, and 'capriciousness' is the means to survive.

They do, and so do similar Lu Bu.

Ma Teng and Han Sui are brothers when they have a good relationship, and when they are bad, they fight each other to the death, and after mediation, they can still sit and call each other brothers.

Han Sui once killed Ma Teng's wife and children, but Ma Chao wanted to 'recognize the thief as his father', which is also the characteristic of the border warriors, and 'cold-blooded' is just to survive.

Seeing Cao Cao's first batch of envoys, Ma Teng did not send troops at the first time when the proton was trapped in Xudu.

It's no good, Ma Teng doesn't want to provoke Liu Bei, and coincides with the 'good brother' Han Sui.

After all, Xu has hostages, and it is not possible to send troops at all, so Ma Teng plans to pretend.

Thinking about the plan, the eldest son Ma Chao found him.

"Father, I heard that Cao Cao asked us to fight Chang'an? The child has long thought that he will meet Liu Bei, especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his command, and I don't know if the enemy is true or not, and he can't stop my spear. ”

"Guan Yu and the white horse beheaded Yan Liang, how can it be fake? But."
