In the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, if you want to be called a "celebrity", two conditions are indispensable. The first is to be handsome, otherwise he often haunts the public, and for ugly people, it is a kind of cruelty to look closely; the second is that he was born in a good background, and in the late Han Dynasty, he paid attention to his background, and the children of the poor family were looked down upon wherever he went.

Jiang Gan just met these two conditions, and he was both talented and famous when he was young, and he had few opponents in his argumentation. Therefore, as soon as Cao Cao saw him, he immediately thought that he was the best candidate to be an envoy to Eastern Wu and a lobbyist.

Cao Cao knew the details of his subordinates: Jiang Gan was also born in Jiangdong, his hometown Jiujiang County was adjacent to Zhou Yu's hometown Lujiang County, and Jiang Gan was Zhou Yu's childhood classmate and friend, so he sent Jiang Gan to meet Zhou Yu, hoping to persuade Zhou Yu to leave Sun Quan and join him.

Therefore, Jiang Gan only needed one child to accompany him, and two servants drove the boat, and he arrived in Zhou Yu's tent in a scarf robe.

Zhou Yu heard that Jiang Gan was coming, and hurriedly welcomed him into the tent, and the two sides exchanged a few words, and Zhou Yu asked directly: "Ziyi is good, he came from far away to be a lobbyist for Cao?"

"No, when did Gong Jin become so suspicious?" Jiang Gan laughed, "The two of us are far away from each other, but they are only a light boat away. I don't know if it's welcome?"

Zhou Yu also smiled: "You don't want to lie to me, you and I know each other as young people, this time I came inexplicably, although I am not as talented as Kui and Kuang, but I can also listen to the string song and know the elegance." ”

Jiang Gan didn't deny it, just chuckled a few times.

Zhou Yu didn't mind, and said, "Ziyi, since you are here, I will invite you to meet Jiangdong Qunhao." ”

When the officials and generals of the lower ranks, they each wore brocade clothes, and met Jiang Gan in the account. Zhou Yu, also known as the generals and generals in the army, all wore silver armor and entered the middle tent in two lines. For a time, the brocade clothes in the big tent of the Chinese army were shining, and everyone was in high spirits, not as if they were facing off against each other, but in a peaceful and prosperous world. Zhou Yu had another big feast, called the singer to cheer up, took turns to drink, and had a happy time.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Gan said: "Gong Jin, I already know your intentions, the two of us have been friends for many years, and you don't have to be like this." ”

Zhou Yu laughed, stopped the music with a wave of his hand, made everyone retreat, and said, "Ziyi, do you have a confidant to talk to me?"

"I did come here to be a lobbyist. Jiang Gan said calmly, "I had a good relationship with Liu Jingsheng that day, and I have been serving under his account. But since Jingzhou fell into the hands of Cao Cao, I can only come and be safe. But now Cao Cao's army is strong, and although the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu are strong, it is difficult to stop Cao Cao's front, and sooner or later he will unify the world. Since you are a smart person, why don't you surrender to Cao Cao?"

Zhou Yu pondered for a long time, and there was a slight smile in the corner of his eyes: "Ziyi Cheng doesn't deceive me, if you speak so sincerely, I'm not good at bullying each other." Let's go, I'll take you to see a few things. ”

He took Jiang Gan's hand to the back hall, only to see that the ground was full of boxes, Zhou Yu opened a box casually, only to see the jewels inside, he dumped a few more boxes on the ground, for a while, Jiang Gan was also dizzying. Who would have thought that in this military tent, there is such a magnificent place.

"What is this?" Jiang Gan asked suspiciously.

Zhou Yu said: "These are all given to me by General Sun Quan, and now, I can be regarded as a rich country." ”

"That's almost half of the wealth of Eastern Wu, right?" Jiang Gan said in surprise.

Zhou Yu sighed and said: "The eldest husband is in the world, he can meet the master, the righteousness of flesh and blood, and obey his own words, and share blessings and misfortunes, what regret is the husband? So, even if Cao Cao gives me more temptations, I will not turn my back on General Sun, I don't know if Ziyi can understand my hard work?"

Jiang Gan said: "Exactly. Don't worry, I'll never persuade you to surrender again. ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Let's go, let's continue to drink." ”

The two drank for a long time, and Zhou Yu asked, "Brother Ziyi, I don't know anything about it, and I still want to ask for advice." ”

"It doesn't hurt for you to say, I know everything and say everything. ”

"The day before yesterday, I went to spy on Cao Jun's water village, and found that the water village is extremely important to the water war, I don't know who is in charge of Cao Cao's water army now?"

"As far as I know, most of the current naval governors are forbidden. Jiang Gan took a sip of wine and said, "But I know the original intention of Gong Jin's question, although Yu Ban is now the governor of the navy, this person does not understand water warfare, which means that behind him, there must be others to assist, but who this person is, it is incomprehensible." ”

Zhou Yu stopped his cup and asked, "With what Ziyi has seen, who has such a military strategy?"

Jiang Gan smiled: "This person is actually not difficult to guess, it's just that you didn't think about him." ”

"Please also ask Brother Ziyi to teach. Zhou Yu solemnly threw a punch at Jiang Gan.

"Mr. Shui Jing said that day: Wolong and phoenix chicks can win the world. These two are both unborn wizards who are familiar with the art of war, and now Kong Ming has come out of the mountain and served in the Duan Dahu Army, but Mr. Feng Xiao has never been seen, aren't you curious?"

"Feng Xiao?" Zhou Yu said in surprise, "I always thought that he was a hermit in the world, and I didn't think much about it. Do you mean that it is Feng Xiao who is planning a water war strategy for Cao Cao in Cao Cao's army now?"

Jiang Gan nodded and said, "Although I haven't seen Feng Yan in person, but looking at the layout of the water village and the practice method throughout the day, there must be no doubt that Feng Xiao is there!"

"I heard that Mr. Feng Yan was also born in Jiangdong, and it seems that he blamed me for not being polite, so he went to serve under Cao Cao's account. I missed Mr. Feng Xiao, how can this be good?" Zhou Yu sighed.

Jiang Gan said: "Since Feng Xiao went to Cao Cao's army, but he couldn't hide it, he thought it was something else hidden. This person is ten times more outwitted than me, and he is unpredictable, so it's better not to jump to conclusions until you understand his true intentions. ”

"Ziyi, do you have a way to know Feng Yan's true intentions?" Zhou Yu said, "If there is still room for things to turn around, I am willing to ask Mr. Feng Xiao to plan for Jiangdong at any cost." ”

"I can't say it, I can only force him!" Jiang Gan smiled, "You come here with your ears." Zhou Yu leaned his ear close to Jiang Gan as he said, Jiang Gan whispered a word, Zhou Yu was overjoyed, and said: "This plan is very good, let's act according to this!"

The two slept together that night and chatted happily.

On the second day, Zhou Yu took Jiang Gan to visit the army, Jiang Gan saw that Zhou Yu was strict in governing the army, and the soldiers were in high spirits, and he couldn't help but praise: "It is really the division of tigers and wolves." ”

For three days in a row, Zhou Yu led Qunhao and Jiang Gan to hold a banquet together, and it was indispensable to ask Jiang Gan for advice. On the third day, Zhou Yu persuaded him to drink again, and Jiang Gan said in front of everyone: "Gan has seen the majesty of the Eastern Wu soldiers in the past few days, and he is really the army of tigers and wolves. I originally wanted to persuade the Metropolitan Governor to go north, but now I don't have this idea. Today's meeting, I can see the heroic demeanor of the Taoist people in vain to come to Jiangdong and his party, this meeting can be called the 'group of heroes'. This glass of wine can be regarded as a tribute to all the heroes of Jiangdong!"

Everyone was arrogant and drank it all.

Zhou Yu said: "There is no joy in the army, I will sing a song for the heroes and heroes, and I will enjoy it." Everyone knew that he was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and they applauded at the moment. Zhou Yu started up, danced the sword and sang:

"The husband has made meritorious service in the world, and his meritorious service has comforted his life. I will be drunk, I will be drunk, I will be drunk and moan!"
