"Jiang Gan?"
Cao Yu was stunned when he heard this.
"Jiang Gan of Jiujiang?"
Cao Yu, who was familiar with the process, didn't expect things to develop to the point where Jiang Gan crossed the river to persuade Zhou Yu.
"Zixiu also knows this person?" Cao Cao asked.”
Currently, Jiang Gan was a guest of Cao Cao, but he did not have any actual achievements.
"When I lived in Lujiang, I heard about Jiang Gan's deeds."”
Jiang Gan was a famous debater in Jiangzuo.
"Jiang Gan's trip will not succeed."
Cao Yu shook his head.
"Why?"
Cao Cao asked.
Cao Yu took a sip of tea and said,"A real man lives in the world. If he meets a master he knows well, he will entrust the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects to the outside world and form a bond of kinship with the inside world."”
"You must do what you say and follow your plan.”
Zhou Yu was such a person.
"Even if Su Qin and Zhang Yi were revived, they would not be able to persuade Zhou Yu, let alone Jiang Gan.”
During this trip to Jiangdong, Jiang Gan had no chance to speak up and surrender to Zhou Yu.
And the person Zhou Yu was serving wasn't Sun Quan, but Sun Ce!
Sun Ce entrusted his father to him, and Zhou Yu had to obey.
Cao Cao was skeptical of Cao Yu's analysis.
He asked Cao Yu,"Zixiu once lived in Lujiang, which is in Jiangdong. Do you know what Zhou Yu is like?”
Cao Yu replied,"If there is anyone who can dampen the morale of the northern army, it must be Zhou Yu."”
He had no doubt about Zhou Yu's military abilities.
Inside the house.
Cao Yu and Cao Cao talked until late at night.
The full moon hung high in the sky outside, and the moonlight was bright.
"Old General, the moon is already high in the sky. It's time to return.”
Cao Yu reminded.
Cao Cao was shocked by the passing of time. He stood up and bade farewell to Cao Yu before leaving with Xu Chu.
After sending Cao Cao off, Cao Yu instructed the Infantry Master.
"There have been idlers coming and going around the house these few days.”
This group of people was probably transferred by the old general of the Xiahou clan. Cao Yu had already seen them several times.
"What are these two generals after?" the Bu Lian Master asked.”
"For what?"
Cao Yu shook his head." It's late. Let's rest first."”
He didn't know what the other party was after.
……
On the other side.
Jiang Gan brought a child with him and two servants on the boat. They had already arrived at the water stronghold of the Jiangdong Army.
Zhou Yu had long received the news of Jiang Gan's arrival. He led hundreds of attendants, all dressed in brocade and colorful hats, and rushed out.
When they met, Zhou Yu said,"Ziyi has crossed the river and the lake. Is he trying to persuade the Cao family?"”
Jiang Gan cupped his hands and replied,"I haven't seen you for a long time, Gongjin. I've come to reminisce about the past. Why do you say I'm a lobbyist?"”
"Gongjin treats his old friend like this, so I have to take my leave.”
Jiang Gan pretended to run away.
Zhou Yu hurriedly got someone to stop him.
"Yu was entrusted by Wu Hou and had to be cautious.”
he explained.
"Since Ziyi doesn't have such intentions, why don't you go quickly and rest in the stronghold?”
Zhou Yu invited Jiang Gan into his tent.
In the tent.
After the greeting, everyone sat down.
Jiangdong civil officials and generals, partial deputy generals divided into two lines to enter.
They all wore brocade clothes and silver armor.
Immediately after, a banquet was held, and the music of victory in the army was played. They took turns drinking and toasting each other.
Jiang Gan kept looking for an opportunity to interrupt, but Zhou Yu seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic.
Throughout the entire banquet, Jiang Gan did not reveal the purpose of this trip.
They drank until late at night, and the banquet was withdrawn.
Zhou Yu invited Jiang Gan to sleep with him.
The candles and oil lamps in the tent had been lit, and Zhou Yu was lying down in his clothes, fast asleep.
When Jiang Gan heard the drums outside, he looked up and saw a stack of documents on the table in front of him.
So he got up and stole a look, only to find that it was a letter.
One of the secret letters wrote: Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are sealed.
Jiang Gan was shocked.
He turned back to look at Zhou Yu on the bed and saw that he was still unconscious.
Therefore, Jiang Gan quickly read the secret letter under the light of the oil lamp.
The letter roughly said: We have surrendered to Cao Cao, not for official salary, but because of the general trend. Now we have deceived the North army and trapped them in the camp. If we can get the opportunity, we will present the head of Cao Cao's thief to our subordinates. I hope you will not suspect us. I will reply to you first!
After Jiang Gan finished reading, he thought to himself, It turned out that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were colluding with Jiangdong.
Thinking of this, Jiang Gan secretly hid the secret letter in his turban and wrapped it in his hair.
After doing all this, Jiang Gan turned around and lay back on the bed.
At this moment, Jiang Gan only wanted to leave quickly.
Jiang Gan got up and quietly walked out of the tent, walking straight out of the water stockade's Yuanmen.
"I'm afraid I'll delay the governor's important matter, so I'll bid farewell for now.”
Jiang Gan explained.
The soldiers did not stop him. Jiang Gan boarded the ship and left. He rowed back to Jiangling.
In a mansion in the city.
Jiang Gan asked to see Cao Cao.
"How was your trip, Ziyi?" Cao Cao asked.”
"Zhou Yu is elegant and refined," replied Jiang Gan."His heart cannot be moved by words.”
Cao Cao frowned.
Cao Yu was right about this!
When Jiang Gan saw Cao Cao frown, he quickly stepped forward and said,""Although I can't say that I will surrender to Zhou Yu, I have heard something important.”
"Speak!"
Cao Cao waved his hand.
Jiang Gan took off his turban, took out the secret letter, and gave it to Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao finished reading, he scolded,"Cai and Zhang are so rude!"”
"Men, summon Cai Mao and Zhang Yun!"
After a while.
Cai and Zhang entered the hall.
Cao Cao said,"I want you two to march."”
"Prime Minister," said Cai Mao hastily,"the soldiers have not yet been thoroughly trained. We cannot advance rashly.”
Cao Cao immediately handed the secret letter to the two of them.
After Cai and Zhang saw this, they were terrified and repeatedly cried out that they were wronged.
"Prime minister, the northern army is in the middle because they are not familiar with water battles, not because they are trapped.”
"Prime Minister, please investigate!"
The two of them begged for mercy.
Cao Cao ordered people to arrest Cai and Zhang and prepare to behead them.
After the two of them were driven away by the soldiers, Cao Cao ordered Jiang Gan to retreat and sent someone to summon Xun You.
After a while, Xun You entered the tent.
When Xun You finished reading the secret letter, he said,""Prime Minister…"
