Lu Yi rode a horse and went straight to the mansion under the protection of Nangong Yan and Shi Huan.

There is only one thing he has to do today: that is, to see Jiang Gan, confirm that this Jiang Gan will not be like the sinkhole in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and then send him to Xudu with the jade seal of the country to negotiate peace with Cao Cao.

When they arrived at the mansion, Chen Deng, Chen Gong, and Yan Xiang all arrived in advance.

Lu Yi talked to them for a while, and then he heard the official of the government report: "Gu Changshi took Jiang Gan to ask to see!" ”

Lu Yi motioned for the servants to let them in.

After a while, I saw Gu Yong walk in with a man of his age, wearing a brocade robe, and looking gentle.

Lu Yi was a little surprised.

This Jiang Gan is completely different from Jiang Gan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Jiang Gan has thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and looks like a clown jumping off the beam.

And the Jiang Gan in front of him, dressed extraordinarily, has a bit of the taste of a jade tree in the wind.

He has traveled through to the present day and has met countless people.

However, his appearance is better than that of Jiang Gan in front of him, and he can count it on one hand.

One is Nangong Yan.

One is Lu Su.

One is Zhou Yu.

One is Sun Ce.

Others, either inferior in appearance or temperament.

Chen Deng also nodded.

Judging from his appearance, this Jiang Gan, as an envoy to Xu Du, is passable.

Rao is a Yan Xiang who has always been strict, and he is also very satisfied.

Gu Yong took Jiang Gan to Lu Yi, saluted Lu Yi, and then respectfully stepped aside and sat side by side with Chen Gong.

Jiang Gan also saluted Lu Yi and said: "Jiang Gan in cloth, a native of Jiujiang, Ziyi, has seen Wu Hou!" ”

Lu Yi asked Jiang Gan to sit down next to Gu Yong.

Gu Yong whispered something to Jiang Gan, and Jiang Gan kept nodding.

Lu Yi saw that the two of them finished speaking, and then said to Jiang Gan: "Ziyi, this time Gu Changshi recommended you to send an envoy to Xu Du and negotiate peace with Cao Cao, what are your plans?" ”

Jiang Gan looked at Lu Yi and said: "Marquis Wu, Cao Cao, this person, looks noble on the outside, likes to admonish, but in fact, this person likes to boast." ”

"If I send an envoy to Xudu, I will definitely use a lot of money to get through the celebrities around him, convey my admiration for him through the celebrities, and then praise him for his proud achievements against Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and others."

"As an envoy to the princes, you must first understand the prince's personality and character, and do what he likes, so that he will have a good impression of the envoy. In this way, he will have a chance to meet the messenger as soon as possible. ”

"Of course, there are some people who like to do the opposite."

"By belittling, and even insulting, the princes, thereby arousing the wrath of the princes, to the point of meeting the messenger as soon as possible."

"However, this method is not feasible for Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao seems to be eager to be talented, but that's all superficial work."

"He has a demand for talents, and hopes to change his difficult situation through talents, so he makes the appearance of Corporal Lixian."

"But once he gets better, he often can't accept other people's opinions."

"Throughout history, Cao Cao is somewhat similar to one person."

Lu Yi asked, "Who?" ”

Jiang Gan said: "Lie on the salary and taste the courage of the gourd." ”

"We can only share suffering, not happiness."

"Moreover, Cao Cao has a suspicious personality, cruel and bloodthirsty."

"Once he suspects that others may betray him, he can't put his mind at ease until he kills them all."

"If you want to be an official under him, and if you want to be big, there are only four kinds of people."

"One is a tendon, there is only him Cao Cao in his eyes, and even his wife, son and daughter can kill Cao Cao."

"One is a person who does what he likes everywhere, and who can show no trace and will not be noticed."

"One is to protect oneself wisely, cut off all officials and family friends, and be an innocent person."

"The fourth type is the talented person who can change the situation."

After a pause, Jiang Gan took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Therefore, after getting through the celebrities around Cao Cao and meeting Cao Cao, I will praise Cao Cao's achievements again, make him happy, and then analyze with him and discuss the benefits of peace with my Jiangdong." ”

"Our Jiangdong occupies Xuzhou, and Cao Cao occupies Xudu, which is the only way for Yuan Shao to go south."

"Cao Cao must have seen this clearly."

"After that, I will present the jade seal of the country to express my determination to Jiangdong and the imperial court to always be of one mind."

"It shouldn't be difficult to negotiate peace."

Lu Yi: "."

Jiang Gan's words reminded him of a person-

Yizhou Zhang Song!

In the original history, Yizhou Zhang Song originally did not want to take refuge in Liu Bei.

This person is not a good person either.

On the order of Liu Zhang, he sent Cao Cao, and he actually drew a map of the mountains and rivers of Yizhou and prepared to present it to Cao Cao, so as to seek high-ranking officials.

However, he miscalculated one thing.

That is, he thought that Cao Cao was really a person who was eager to seek talent, as long as he was a really talented person, Cao Cao would not care about this person's other character flaws, and would definitely humbly seek advice and then reuse it.

Therefore, after he met Cao Cao, he belittled Cao Cao's literature and achievements one by one, and he was simply the originator of later generations.

Even if Yang Xiu reminded him, this Zhang Song still couldn't listen.

As a result, Cao Cao was completely offended.

Not to mention being reused by Cao Cao, he was even driven away by Cao Cao in disgrace, and he was almost killed.

Lu Yi looked at Jiang Gan.

This Jiang Gan, I don't know what kind of talent he has, after all, it was the first time we met.

However, with his understanding of Cao Cao's character so well that he can make a plan to deal with it, there should be no need to worry that he will be as stupid as in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

I don't know if Jiang Gan's descendants offended Luo Guanzhong, so they were blackened to the point that they were completely decent.

Lu Yi smiled: "Ziyi is right. As a messenger, you can only complete the task by knowing how to brake at the right time. This mission to Xu Du will bother you. ”

Jiang Gan hurriedly got up and saluted: "I will complete the task of Wu Hou!" ”

Lu Yi looked at Chen Deng, Chen Gong and Yan Xiang again, to see if they had anything to say.

All three shook their heads.

Lu Yi was about to leave and return to Lu's house.

After all, we are going to leave for Jingzhou tomorrow, so it is better to prepare early today.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Jiang Gan's side: Gu Yong with a happy face.

He thought of another person—

Zhou Yu!

Now, Zhou Yu is about to finish his funeral and go out of the mountain again.

Lu Yi still wanted to see if it was possible to poach Zhou Yu.

However, he also knows that it is difficult.

The reason is very simple, the Sun family was destroyed by themselves.

Everything that Zhou Yu's Zhou family paid was all in vain at the moment when the Sun family was destroyed.

Zhou Yu will not be reconciled.

If you change to yourself, you won't be reconciled.

But even so, Lu Yi still wanted to try that little hope.

After all, Zhou Yu is the one who has entered the seventy-two generals of the Martial Temple.

And Gu Yong and Jiang Gan have both been classmates with Zhou Yu.

Gu Yong had never mentioned Zhou Yu before.

When Sun Ce attacked Ou A, when he and Gu Yong went to see Sun Ce, Zhou Yu was also there, and Zhou Yu did not open a mouth for Gu Yong once.

It can be seen that the relationship between Gu Yong and Zhou Yu is not very good.

Therefore, Lu Yi never asked Gu Yong about Zhou Yu.

However, Jiang Gan is different.

Although in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lieutenant General Luo Guan's Jiang Gan is black and decent. However, the fact that Jiang Gan was ordered by Cao Cao to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender is indeed recorded in the history books.

It can be seen that Jiang Gan and Zhou Yu still have some friendship.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi asked Jiang Gandao: "Ziyi, there is one more thing for you to ask you." ”

Jiang Gan looked at Lu Yi with a serious face.

Lu Yi said: "What do you think of Zhou Yu?" Now that his three-year mourning period is coming to an end, do you think that in the current situation in Jiangdong, can he still do things for Jiangdong? ”

Jiang Gan glanced at Gu Yong, let out a long breath, and said to Lu Yi: "Back to Wuhou, it's impossible." Zhou Yu is ruthless and affectionate. ”

"He can fellowship with the person who sees the right eye."

"However, he was born in the second and third dukes of the Zhou family, and his vision has been extremely high since he was a child, and few people can get into his eyes."

"Therefore, he has always been unsympathetic and even dismissive of others."

"In the past, I apprenticed with Brother Gu and him to Mr. Cai Yong. During this period, he has always been a loner, and he does not look at anyone else. ”

"Only Sun Ce and Sun Bofu are few talents, and they are unstoppable, and they are cited by him as a confidant."

"For the sake of Sun Ce, he also exhausted the family and pushed the Zhou family and the Sun family to cooperate."

"The fall of the Zhou family is probably also related to this."

"If it were me, I would never pull the family into the whirlpool."

"If you are in chaos today, you will be caught in the whirlpool, and there will be few good endings."

"Zhou Yu, it's impossible for him not to know."

However, he still insisted, which shows his great affection for Sun Ce.

"But now, the foundation laid by him and Sun Ce sacrificing their family has fallen into the hands of you, Marquis Wu."

"Even the Sun family is now ruined."

"As far as he is concerned, with all due respect to Jiang Gan, not only will he not be able to help Wu Hou, but I am afraid that he will become Wu Hou's enemy, and he will do everything possible to deal with Wu Hou until he tries to snatch Jiangdong back."

Seeing that Lu Yi's expression was calm and there was no anger, Jiang Gan hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Wu Hou, Jiang Gan dared to say something not very good. ”

Lu Yi said: "Say." ”

Jiang Gan said: "Wu Hou's Lu family and Brother Gu's Gu family, in fact, in Zhou Yu's eyes, are not in the stream. ”

"He was born in the Zhou family, the family of the second and third dukes, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world, and he thinks he is unspeakably noble."

"In the past, my father and I visited his father Zhou Yi once, and even ate behind closed doors."

"Although my Jiang family is from a businessman's family, he is also rich."

"In front of the Zhou family, he is not even as good as passers-by, which shows the attitude of the Zhou family and Zhou Yu."

Lu Yi nodded and secretly screamed pity.

At this moment, Chen Deng said: "Such a dangerous person cannot be used by my Jiangdong, so it is advisable to get rid of it as soon as possible." ”

Jiang Gan said: "It's late." When I came to Koto, I wanted to visit him and give him some money by the way. After all, after the second and third dukes, they are classmates again. Now that the Zhou family has fallen, he is lonely. ”

"But when I rushed to Shu County, he had already gone to the empty building."

"Because I was in a hurry to come over and meet Brother Gu, I didn't let anyone inquire about his whereabouts."

Chen Deng frowned.

At this moment, Jiang Gan let out a strange laugh.

Lu Yi asked, "Why is Ziyi laughing?" ”

Jiang Gan said: "Wu Hou, you seem to appreciate Zhou Yu's talent? ”

Lu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, he is very good at commanding troops. When I fought against Yuan Shu's Ji Ling army in Lujiang before, it was his strategy that allowed my Jiangdong soldiers to take Hefei without blood. ”

Jiang Gan said: "If Wu Hou only likes his talent in commanding troops and fighting, I know one person who is better than Zhou Yu." ”

Lu Yi's expression perked up and said, "Who?" ”

Jiang Gan glanced at everyone and asked rhetorically, "I wonder if Wu Hou and the princes have heard of the 'Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick' that has recently become famous?" Among them, the phoenix chick, before, was in Jiujiang. My father also invited him to drink, and he stayed at my house for a few days. However, this person was determined to be a high-ranking official, and even one person was above ten thousand people, so he left quickly. ”

"When he left, I went to see him off."

"The direction he left should be to go south to Jiangdong."
