Chapter 143 Worry about pride

Depending on the perspective, the information you get is also different.

For the core personnel, they knew that Huo Jun chased Gan Ning back, and recommended Gan Ning to Liu Bei. For outsiders, it is only known that Huo Jun had a relationship with Liu Bei, and he was born under Liu Qi's account. Gan Ning joined Liu Bei's army halfway, and was born as a water thief, killing officials and deserting the army.

What Jiang Gan was happy about was not that he found that Gan Ning could be wooed, but that he noticed that the cooperation between Liu Qi and Liu Bei was not so close.

He was ordered by Cao Cao to go south, in addition to the task of appeasing Huo Jun, he also had the important task of exploring the inside of Jiangdong Erliu.

Throughout the ages, whether it is a military strategist or a wise man, it is not that they can predict the prophet, but that they have enough information to support their judgment of gains and losses.

Guo Jia suggested that Cao Cao go south and let the two Yuan kill each other, not because Guo Jia had the ability to let Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang kill each other, but because Guo Jia knew that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between them because of Yuan Shao's heir.

guessed that Sun Ce would die at the hands of the horseman, because Cao Jun had a deep understanding of Jiangdong. After all, when Guo Jia talked about this matter, Cao Cao already knew in advance that Sun Ce had the intention of crossing the river to attack Xuchang.

Liu Qi and Liu Bei entered Jiangdong, and Cao Cao's chess pieces left in Jiangdong were almost useless. At present, Cao Cao's understanding of the situation in Jiangdong needs to go around Jingzhou and let Cai Mao and Kuai Yue transfer hands to him. However, the information obtained was only the content of the war report and official promotion.

In order to gain an in-depth understanding of the specific internal situation of Er Liu, and at the same time to appease Huo Jun, Cao Cao arranged for Jiang to go to Jiangdong.

Now Jiang Gan got the news that there was a disgrace in Erliu, even if he failed to appease Huo Jun, he also had the merit to meet Cao Cao.

As for the discord between the two Liu, what help Cao Cao has, he is not responsible for judging, he is only an outer subordinate under Cao Cao's account, how can he control the decisions of Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others.

"Is Brother Ziyi sleeping?"

Just as Jiang Gan was thinking about his next move, Huo Jun's voice came from outside the tent.

Jiang Gan got up from the couch and tidied up his messy robe. He can become a well-known lobbyist of Jianghuai, in addition to relying on words that can praise people, and can put himself in the position of the lobbyist to analyze the pros and cons, he also has a harmless and humble attitude.

"Please!"

Jiang Gan diligently lifted the curtain for Huo Jun and said with a smile: "Gan Ben doesn't know why the general was able to defeat the two generals Xiahou Yuan and Sun Yu, but today I can see the mystery that is known." ”

"Oh!" Huo Jun asked, "Where does Ziyi know from?" ”

Jiang Gan pointed outside and said with a smile: "The general's punishment is fair, the reward and punishment are fair, and the soldiers can defeat the enemy with their strength to the death, I am afraid it depends on this." ”

Huo Jun seemed to be praised happily, and said with a smile: "Jun is in charge of the Second Army Naval Division, if he can't punish him fairly, how can he be prestigious?" Tonight's incident made Brother Ziyi smile. ”

Jiang Gan hesitated for a moment and said: "Although the general uses the military to rule the army, I am afraid that the general is suspected of ignoring the overall situation. ”

Huo Jun looked at Jiang Gan, who was thinking about himself, and smiled secretly in his heart, but he was also seriously cooperating with his performance, and asked with a puzzled face: "Why did Ziyi say this?" ”

Jiang Gan and Huo Jun sat opposite each other, and said with serious analysis: "Gan Zhonglang is a general under Liu Gong's account, and now the general is in charge, regardless of Liu Gong's face punishment. If Liu Gong knew about Gan Zhonglang, he would be dissatisfied. Even if Duke Liu treats each other with a tolerant heart, how can Gan Zhonglang and the generals under Duke Liu's account have no complaints. ”

Looking at Huo Jun, who was silent, Jiang Gan then said: "The general does not think about himself, but also for Liu Yangzhou." Liu Yangzhou and Liu Gonggong took Jiangdong, how can the generals and schools of the two armies be angry today! ”

Hearing this, Huo Jun sneered and said, "Liu Yuzhou is also a hero, and he can win the hearts of the people. Since entering Jiangdong today, there have been many noisy moves. If you do not deal with it now under the pretense of the law, that you may control their hearts......"

Halfway through speaking, Huo Jun seemed to realize something, hurriedly changed his words, and said: "Brother Ziyi is polite, Jun should pay attention to one or two." ”

Jiang Gan grabbed the dozen or so words that Huo Jun had leaked, and he already knew it in his heart. His eyes flashed, and he quickly changed to a harmless smile and said, "I am an outsider, I don't know the inside story, and I talk about it in vain, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Huo Jun's eyes squinted at Jiang Gan, as if he was smiling, and said, "Ziyi was ordered by Duke Cao to go down to Jiangdong to investigate military secrets for him?" ”

Jiang Gan stroked his beard, looked calm, and said with a smile: "Why did the general say this? ”

Huo Jun grabbed Jiang Gan's sleeve with one hand and said in a cold voice: "Since Ziyi entered the camp, his words have been all about probing the secrets of our army, don't you know it?" ”

Jiang Gan was a little flustered, but quickly hidden, and said: "Cao Gong attacked Hebei and conquered the Yuan family, how could he remember the Jiangdong war. I came here today just to admire the general. ”

"Humph!"

Huo Jun approached Jiang Gan and said sharply: "Since the monarch entered the camp with cloth clothes to meet him, Jun knew that the monarch wanted to persuade him to surrender. You deceived me like this, don't you think that my sword is not good? ”

The sword was slightly unsheathed, and the cold light gradually revealed.

Jiang Gan was dripping with sweat on his forehead and said, "In this case, why did the general invite Gan into the camp and set up a banquet to entertain him." Could it be that the general wants to return to the imperial court? ”

Huo Jun got up and paced with his sword, laughed and said: "The eldest husband is in the world, he should report to Jun's grace and settle the relationship." Words and deeds are followed, and blessings and misfortunes are shared. Now the eldest son is given by the ether, and he worships the position of the governor, and Jun and An can do unrighteous things. ”

"What does the general mean?"

Huo Jun turned to look at Jiang Gan and said in a deep voice: "Today's banquet is a banquet to entertain you, you have the demeanor of wanting to see you, and you also have the intention of letting you pass the word for someone." ”

"With whom?"

"Cao Cao!"

Huo Jun stood tall, held his sword with one hand, and said with a laugh: "Jun Su heard that Sikong has the ambition to swallow the world, and wants to do Wang Mang's usurpation. The army is slightly weak, and is willing to wait for Sikong to raise troops to the south in Jiangdong and fight on the river. ”

"Wang Mang!"

Jiang Gan looked at the heroic, young and vigorous Huo Jun, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "The general is heroic and dares to fight with Sikong, he is a rare person in the world!" ”

"If you are young, if you are not vigorous, you can talk about being a young man!"

The corners of Huo Jun's mouth rose, and he said with a smile: "Han Xin is twenty and eight years old, and he is the king of Qi." At the age of twenty-nine, Xiang Yu was embattled; Huo Qubing joined the army at the age of eighteen, and became a champion marquis. At the age of twenty, he swept away the Huns; Today's Jun army may not be as good as its predecessors, but it wants to follow suit. ”

Jiang Gan looked at Huo Jun, who was scolding the Eight Extremes in front of his eyes, showing his heroic and heroic spirit, and wanted to ridicule him in his heart, but when he thought of Huo Jun's dazzling achievements so far, he couldn't say it. Thinking of when he was still unknown in his twenties, he couldn't help but respect Huo Jun at the moment.

Who is Cao Cao?

Under one person, above ten thousand, there are thousands of good generals and strategists, and there are millions of bears and tigers. After a hundred battles, he swept away the heroes of the Central Plains, and he was only a few steps away from being able to dominate the world.

What about Huo Jun?

is just a young general who is too guarded, and he has won a big victory over the coalition army in the waterfront formation, and has become famous.

The identity resources of the two do not match at all, but now he put down the words of making an appointment with Cao Cao in front of him. Either blind and arrogant, or strategic.

Jiang Gan bowed and said: "The general has great ambitions, and he respects him deeply, and he will convey the words of the king to Sikong." ”

Just as Huo Jun was about to continue chatting with Jiang Gan, the attendant took the letter and reported outside the tent, saying, "Governor, a letter from a friend." ”

Huo Jun looked apologetic and said, "I will leave for the time being if I have military affairs today." ”

"General go slowly!" Jiang Gan walked towards Huo Jun and sent Huo Jun out of the account and said.

The attendant saw Huo Jun come out and said, "This is General Lei's book~"

"Ahem!"

But seeing Jiang Gan following behind him, the attendant seemed to realize that he had lost his words, and then fell silent. It wasn't until Huo Jun left that the attendant handed the letter to Huo Jun.

Jiang Gan stared at Huo Jun's back, thinking about the scene that had just happened, General Lei?

Jiang Gan turned his head to look at Zhou Mu and asked, "Gan has an old relationship with General Lei, I don't know where General Lei is guarding now?" ”

Zhou Mu took a question mark and said: "There is no general surnamed Lei in our army, but Mr. is mistaken. ”

"Huh?"

Jiang Gan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking of something. General Lei? Is it Jianghuai's Lei Xu?

Sure enough, Huo Jun's plan was very big, and now Jiangdong Weike, he wanted to collude with Lei Xu, Mei Qian and other Jianghuai giants.

When Jiang Gan was crazy about making up his mind, Huo Jun returned to the big tent with a smile, and the letter of 'General Lei' in his hand had already been thrown away by him.

Jiang Ji saw Huo Jun return to the camp and got up, and asked, "How so?" ”

Huo Jun motioned for Jiang Ji to sit down, and said with a smile: "Jiang Gan is delicate, and he has already revealed some information in his words and deeds. ”

Jiang Ji poured tea for Huo Jun and said, "The governor wants to show his own internal strife to appease Cao Cao's heart." Now that Jiang Gan is going north, he will be able to do what the governor wants. ”

Huo Jun acted in this play for Jiang Gan, not for anything else. It was only shown to Cao Cao that Jiangdong Erliu also had contradictions, and that there were people dissatisfied with Liu Bei under Liu Qi's account, and Liu Bei had the intention of swallowing Liu Qi, so that Cao Cao, who was conquering the north, could go north with peace of mind.

As for why it was arranged, Huo Jun and Liu Bei were angry. Today, Cao Cao has initially settled in Hebei, but Jiangdong has not been defeated. It is better to show that there is a suspicion of civil strife on the other side, and to be proud of Cao Cao's heart, lest Cao Cao wave his troops south in advance, so as to buy more time for Jiangdong to train sailors and select soldiers and horses.

Huo Jun took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Cao Cao thinks Jun is arrogant!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ji smiled dumbly and said, "Isn't the governor? ”

"Haha!"
