After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Jiang Gan was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground: "Marquis Wu, please forgive me. The two armies will not be beheaded when they fight. Be careful that the prime minister leads troops to flatten Jiangdong!"

"Pull it out!" Sun Quan yelled again.

Lu Meng and Lu Xun stepped forward and took Jiang Gan away without the need for soldiers to do anything.

As soon as he arrived in the yard, Jiang Gan was so frightened that he fainted when he saw the shining big knife.

Lu Meng beckoned and arranged for someone to send Jiang Gan back to the post.

Lu Xun left the mansion and helped Zhou Yu who was waiting in the carriage into the main hall.

"I've met my lord!" Zhou Yu gestured to Sun Quan.

"A seat!" Sun Quan beckoned.

Immediately, a soldier brought a chair for Zhou Yu.

Sitting on the chair, Zhou Yu's expression softened a lot.

Sun Quan handed the letter to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, what is the purpose of Cao Cao sending Jiang Gan here?"

Zhou Yu read the letter and smiled slightly: "My lord, Cao Cao is showing weakness!"

"Oh?" Sun Quan was puzzled: "In the letter, he threatened my younger sister and asked Jiang Gan to greet my mother. Is this still a sign of weakness?"

"That's right!" Zhou Yu nodded, "Cao Cao's purpose is to provoke you!"

Zhang Zhao stood up: "Great Governor, what do you say?"

Zhou Yu said: "Cao Cao won the battle at Sanjiangkou, but if our [-] troops from Jiangdong refuse to guard Moling City, he will never be able to break through the city!"

Sun Quan nodded: "You mean, Cao Cao is provoking me and forcing me to send troops!"

"That's right!" Zhou Yu nodded, "If our army leaves Moling City, it will give Cao Cao a chance to defeat Jiangdong's army in one fell swoop. Otherwise, Cao Cao will have to retreat if he doesn't get a chance to fight!"

"Hahaha!" Sun Quan burst into laughter when he heard the words.

Zhou Yu continued: "I expect Cao Cao has the intention to retreat!"

Zhang Zhao immediately said, "Cao Cao's troops are in full swing now, Commander-in-Chief, do you have any basis for saying that Cao Cao has the intention to retreat?"

"Of course!" Zhou Yu said, "Cao Cao's troubles are not in Jiangdong, but in Yongzhou and Liangzhou west of Chang'an. It is Han Sui and Ma Teng, not me in Jiangdong!"

Sun Quan suddenly realized.

Yongzhou is close to Tongguan. If you first capture Chang'an City and then break Luoyang, you can drive straight in and take Xudu.

At this time, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were all in the south, and it was impossible to return in time for reinforcements.

This is the root cause of Cao Cao's retreat.

After thinking through all this, Sun Quan had a smile on his face again: "According to Gongjin's strategy, how should we deal with Cao Cao?"

Zhou Yu said: "It's not difficult at all. You can send people to Chaisang to seek peace with Cao Cao. For the time being, pay tribute and become a minister. I will wait for Jiangdong to recharge my energy. I can take advantage of Cao Cao's westward campaign against Ma Teng and Han Sui to counterattack Chaisang City and take it. Jingzhou!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Sun Quan nodded again and again, "Who can be the envoy?"

Zhou Yu said: "Zijing can return to Chaisang City with Jiang Gan!"

Sun Quan immediately asked Lu Su, "Will Zijing go?"

"Unshirkable responsibility!" Lu Su clasped his fists as a signal.

"En!" Sun Quan nodded in satisfaction.

Early the next morning, Lu Su went to the post to meet Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan, who just woke up, looked at Lu Su in surprise: "Zijing, this is..."

Lu Su smiled: "My lord wanted to kill you, but the governor tried his best to protect you, which saved your life!"

Jiang Gan breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew that Gong Jin would not let me die!"

Lu Su said: "My lord ordered me to go to Chaisang to meet the prime minister!"

"That's great!" Jiang Gan nodded: "Zijing can return to Chaisang City with me!"

"That's exactly what I mean!" Lu Su nodded and smiled.

That night, the two left Moling City.

After entering Chaisang City, Jiang Gan first entered the Chinese Army and reported to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked, "Ziyi, how was the trip to Moling City?"

"There were a few twists and turns, but overall it went well... Sun Quan wanted to kill me, but Zhou Yu refused, so I invited Lu Su to Chaisang City with my perfect tongue!" Jiang Gan had a three-point smile on his face. Concerned, he looked at Liu Xian who was beside Cao Cao.

"Sure enough!" Liu Xian smiled: "The mission to Jiangdong is none other than your general Ziyi!"

Cao Cao nodded: "So, Zhou Yu has just recovered from a serious illness!"

Jiang Gan nodded: "Not only that, but he also intended to counterattack Chaisang City, but Sun Quan and other civil servants denied it!"

"Well, go invite Lu Zijing!" Cao Cao beckoned.

"Obey!" Jiang Gan clasped his fists and retreated slowly.

Cao Cao immediately asked Liu Xian, "Ziyu thinks Jiang Gan's trip?"

Liu Xian said bluntly, "It's been tricked again!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed.

Liu Xian said: "Zhou Yu and Sun Quan sang the oboe together, making him play around!"

Cao Cao nodded, "According to Ziyu, is Zhou Yu really recovered?"

Liu Xian said: "I'm afraid his condition is getting worse, otherwise he would not have made a counterattack against Chaisang City. come out!"

Chapter 199 Liu Xian: Once Lu Su Comes, You Can't Let Him Go

"According to Ziyu's opinion, how should we respond?" Cao Cao asked Liu Xian.

Liu Xian said bluntly: "Prime Minister, I suggest to push the boat forward and make peace with Jiangdong. When Zhou Yu is critically ill, it is the opportunity for the imperial court to send troops!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, "It's exactly what I want!"

Liu Xian cupped his hands: "Prime Minister, I have another plan!"

Cao Cao said, "Speak quickly!"

Liu Xian said: "Jiangdong Zhang Zhao is the head of civil servants, and Zhou Yu is the head of military generals. Lu Su is the third person in Jiangdong. Zhou Yu will be the governor of Jiangdong in the future and he must succeed him!"

Cao Cao laughed: "Zi Yu means to keep Lu Su in my Cao Ying!"

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded: "Let Lu Su live in Xudu as a guest, this is the prerequisite for the peace talks!"

"Excellent!" Cao Cao laughed.

Leaving Lu Su in Cao Ying was like breaking Jiangdong's arm in advance. When Zhou Yu was critically ill, breaking Jiangdong would be like breaking a bamboo.

After a while, Jiang Gan brought Lu Su into the Chinese army camp.

"Meet the prime minister, Lord Jijiu!" Lu Su saluted Cao Cao and Liu Xian.

Liu Xian cupped his hands and returned the salute: "Mr. Zijing is too polite!"

"Sir, please sit down!" Cao Cao gestured with his hand.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Lu Su bowed and immediately sat down at the table.

Jiang Gan didn't regard himself as an outsider, he found a seat and sat down.

Cao Cao beckoned, and Lao Huang, who was standing by, poured wine for the four of them.

"Zijing's name has always been heard, and now he has come from a long way, to drink with the wind!" Cao Cao raised his glass.

Liu Xian and Jiang Gan also toasted to Lu Su one after another.

"Thank you Prime Minister and the two gentlemen!" Lu Su hurriedly raised his glass, and then drank it down.

Putting down his wine glass, Cao Cao said bluntly: "I ordered Jiang Gan to go to Moling City as an envoy, but your master Sun Quan killed him. Is there such a thing?"

"It's true!" Lu Su nodded, and said without hesitation: "The Prime Minister used the younger sister of the Sun family to blackmail my lord and make him angry!"

"Misunderstanding, it is definitely a misunderstanding!" Liu Xian said solemnly: "The Prime Minister is definitely not that kind of person, and he will never do that kind of thing!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Gan also nodded: "The prime minister was bewitched by that fat bucket, that fat bucket is full of bad water!"

"Who is the fat bucket?" Lu Su was surprised.

Liu Xian smiled and said, "Of course it's Pang Tong. It's only because of his barrel-like figure that someone gave him such a joking nickname!"

"I see." Lu Su nodded with a smile.

Cao Cao asked Lu Su again: "Since your lord wanted to kill Jiang Gan, why did you let him back?"

Lu Su cupped his hands: "Zi Yi is an old friend of the governor Zhou Yu after all, my lord thinks about this, please spare his life!"

Cao Cao laughed: "So, Zhou Yu has quite a status in Jiangdong!"

Lu Su said: "Zhou Yu is the head of the military generals, Zhang Zhao is the head of the civil servants, both of them hold high positions!"

Cao Cao nodded, and then asked Lu Su, "Why is Zijing here today?"

Lu Su smiled: "Because of the differences of opinion within Jiangdong, I was specially ordered to come here to ask the Prime Minister's intention!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Zijing is really a real person, he dares to say such a thing!"

Lu Su also laughed: "The prime minister is so angry that he travels across the north and south, and even has the resourceful Liu Ziyu to help him. If I lie, I will be seen through by the two of you, and you will laugh at me instead!"

"Well said!" Cao Cao nodded, "Tell me, what are the differences within Jiangdong?"

Lu Su cupped his hands, picked up the jug and poured Cao Cao a glass of wine.

"Sanjiangkou was defeated, the army was lost and the generals were lost, and Chaisang City was lost. The civil servants headed by Zhang Zhao are in harmony, and they must protect the environment and the people!"

"The halberd of Chaisang City fell, and the Sanjiang Estuary sank into sand. With Zhou Yu as the leader of the generals, we must avenge Jiangdong's shame!"

"My lord, Sun Quan, values ​​these two people and the attitude of the prime minister even more, so he sent me there!"

"If the prime minister wants to fight, my lord will follow Zhou Yu's policy, and the two armies will fight to the end!"

"If the prime minister wants to make peace, my lord will follow Zhang Zhao's policy, pay tribute and become a minister, and protect the environment and the people!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed.

Lu Su's performance was consistent with Liu Xian's prediction.

To Cao Cao's surprise, Lu Su's attitude was sincere, soft but strong.

Although it was a disadvantage, it cleverly regained the initiative.

The right to choose whether to seek peace or go to war was thrown to Cao Cao again.

Such a great talent is only the third person in Jiangdong.

Even if Zhou Yu dies and Lu Su succeeds the governor, breaking Jiangdong will not be as easy as imagined.

Fortunately, Liu Xian had the foresight.

Cao Cao said bluntly: "Zijing is so honest, I will tell the truth, the army has no intention of entering Jiangdong again!"

Lu Su cupped his hands: "Since that's the case, I will pay tribute and profess my minister in Jiangdong, and respect the prime minister's decree!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed: "Your Lord Sun Quan was originally a courtier of the Han Dynasty, so it is only natural to pay tribute and be a courtier!"

"What the prime minister said is true!" Lu Su nodded.

Cao Cao said again: "If I want to promote harmony between Jiangdong and the imperial court, I have only one request. If it succeeds, there will be harmony, and if it fails, there will be a bloody battle to the end!"

Lu Su cupped his hands again: "Please tell the prime minister clearly!"

Cao Cao looked at Lu Su with a smile: "I want my son to live in Xudu to protect the safety of Jiangdong!"

Lu Su fell silent suddenly, and subconsciously looked at Liu Xian beside Cao Cao.

Going around and around, he circled himself in.

This must be Liu Quide's advice for Cao Cao.

It is true that Cao Cao took the initiative to seek peace, but it gave him a big problem for Jiangdong and a big problem for Lu Su.

The right to choose returned to Jiangdong.

Lu Su cupped his hands: "Prime Minister, I am a subject of Jiangdong. It is up to my lord to decide whether to go or stay, and I dare not decide without authorization!"
