"You are Jiang Gan"

In the cabin, Liu Jing looked at the slightly thin man in front of him with interest. This was the man in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, who had fallen into the trap twice and killed Cao Cao's army of 830,000, and he was actually a native of Chaisang.

Jiang Gan knew Liu Jing, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered: "That's right here."

Liu Jing remembered that he had met two people surnamed Jiang and asked again: "Who are you, Jiang Zhong and Huang Zu's aides Jiang Qi, who were you in the Fancheng Youjiao Station?"

"They are all from my tribe."

Jiang Gan replied helplessly, he stood in front of Liu Jing with his hands down, his expression a little embarrassed, Jiang Gan even felt a little ashamed. His father is still in Chaisang and lives with his elder brother, and his nephew Jiang Li is also a village chief of Jiangxia Army.

This is his secret. He told Cao Cao that his parents died and he had concealed the fact that his father was still alive. He was also afraid that Liu Jing would find out his background, but his accent revealed the secret.

"In what year did you surrender to Cao Cao?" Liu Jing asked again.

"Eight years of Jian'an"

Jiang Gan immediately explained: "But I left Chaisang in the fifth year of Jian'an to study in the north. When the provincial governor was in charge of Chaisang, I was not in Chaisang."

At this time, Liu Jing's tone became softer, and he waved his hand and said, "Sir, please sit down."

Jiang Gan sat down nervously and looked at the letter box on the table. It was an official letter from Prime Minister Cao to Sun Quan. Liu Jing picked up the letter box. The letter box was made of white jade and a gold belt was tied on the outside.

Liu Jing opened the jade box and took out the letter inside, which made Liu Jing stunned. This was not a private message from Cao Cao, but a written letter of commitment stamped with the seal of the Prime Minister of Han. The letter of commitment clearly agreed not to attack Jiangdong within five years and to grant Sun Quan the Duke of Wu.

It was also proposed that if the Jiangdong army was willing to attack Jingzhou with the Cao army, after the war, Jiangdong would obtain four counties, Changsha, Guiyang, Lingling and Wuling, and there was a third article, and he would like to marry the sister of Wuhou for his second son Zhang, and the two families would become the love between Qin and Jin.

This made Liu Jing gasp. This was a condition that Sun Quan could not refuse. Not only was the Prime Minister's promise, but also gave Sun Quan the four counties in Jingnan. It seemed that Cao Cao had invested a lot and must fight for Sun Quan over. Fortunately, this guarantee letter was intercepted by himself, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. The manager of Chibi must be rewarded with great rewards.

Liu Jing took a few steps behind his back and pondered the next countermeasures. Of course, he could detain the letter and the envoy, just as the matter had not happened. But what if Cao Cao sent an envoy again or Sun Quan sent an envoy to Jiangling, it would cause a crisis.

The best way is to let the envoy go to Qichun County. Liu Jing glanced at Jiang Gan again, with a faint smile in his eyes. It seemed that the key to solving the crisis still fell on the person.

Liu Jing sat down, stared at Jiang Gan and smiled and said, "I read the Chaisang House Book last year. Brother Ziyi's father should still be in Chaisang."

This sentence was like a heavy blow, hitting Jiang Gan's heart hard, causing a huge crack to appear in his heart, which was not very strong. He slowly lowered his head, his heart full of despair.

......

In the temporary residence of Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, accompanied by Lu Su, patiently waited for Sun Quan's summons in front of the gate. Lu Su did not break his promise and finally convinced Sun Quan to see Zhuge Liang and listen to Liu Bei's opinions.

Politics has always been extremely realistic and speaks entirely by strength. Since Cao Cao captured Jiangling and Liu Bei was defeated and crossed the river, his status has plummeted. Sun Quan was not interested in him anymore, and Zhuge Liang was also neglected by Sun Quan.

However, Zhuge Liang did not want to leave Qichun. He had to try every means to get Liu Bei to join the anti-Cao camp, otherwise Liu Bei would lose the opportunity to share the spoils. In the end, relying on Lu Su's help, Zhuge Liang had a chance to meet Sun Quan. Success or failure will be achieved in one fell swoop.

At this time, the side door opened, a guard ran out and bowed and said, "Wu Hou is welcome."

Zhuge Liang and Lu Su looked at each other and walked into the gate together. Soon, the two walked to the study room and the guards came into the house to report: "Deputy Governor Lu and Mr. Zhuge are here."

"Please enter" Sun Quan's voice came from the room. He seemed to be in a good mood and answered very easily.

Zhuge Liang walked into the room and saw Sun Quan sitting on the desk reviewing the official documents sent by Jiangdong. At present, the internal affairs of the Eastern Wu are under the supervision of Zhang Hong. They are safe and sound. The people of Shanyue did not take the opportunity to cause trouble. The agriculture is in good weather and the summer grain harvest is in sight, which makes Sun Quan very happy.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and bowed: "Kong Ming met with the Marquis of Wu"

Sun Quan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Kongming, please sit down."

Zhuge Liang sat down and Lu Su was also sitting on the other side. Then Sun Quan apologized: "The business has been busy these days and I have no time to see you. I am really negligent. Please forgive me."

Zhuge Liang smiled, "Liang also heard of it. He knew that Wu Hou was upset and did not dare to disturb him."

Sun Quan knew that he was talking about Cao Cao's secret letter, and he didn't want to talk about this with Liu Bei, so he smiled and asked again: "I don't know what the situation of the emperor's uncle is now."

"I received a quick message from the emperor's uncle the day before yesterday. The emperor's uncle is in Wuling County. At present, Wuling County has sufficient food and the army still has 25,000 people, and its strength is still there."

"That's a blessing in disgrace. Last time, Dongwu was in a hurry. When will I invite the emperor to Jiangdong again, I will definitely treat him well."

Sun Quan just said casually and did not take it seriously, but Zhuge Liang seized the opportunity and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, Kong Ming will accept the invitation of the Emperor's uncle for the Emperor. After the war, the Emperor's uncle will definitely come to visit the Emperor's Marquis."

Sun Quan was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang took it seriously. He had to smile bitterly and change the topic, "I regret that the Emperor's Uncle can't participate in this battle against Cao."

This is exactly what Zhuge Liang was going to talk about. His expression became serious and he slowly said: "Mr. Wu was surprised by this. Joining anti-Cao was the last trip to Eastern Wu. The plan was decided by the Marquis of Wu and the Emperor's uncle. Although the army of Nanjun encountered a minor setback, its strength was still there, and its desire to resist Cao became stronger and stronger.

Now we still have five counties including Hengyang, Wuling, and half of Nanjun, with an elite army of 25,000. More importantly, the emperor's uncle had a robbery in his hand and was ordered to fight the thieves, which was more legitimate. Otherwise, Cao Cao personally fought against Jiangdong with the prime minister and had the emperor's will. Liuzhou Mu and Wu Hou were all Han ministers, so why did he resist the orders?

Zhuge Liang's words hit Sun Quan's heart. Zhuge Liang was right. The biggest problem of their joint anti-Cao was that it was injustice. Cao Cao was ordered to conquer, but they resisted the imperial army. To put it seriously, they were just rebelling. If there was Liu Bei's robbery, they would clear the emperor and save the Han emperor, which had a completely different meaning.

Seeing that Sun Quan had been persuaded, Zhuge Liang continued: "There must be one of the three parties to resist Cao. Uncle Liu is willing to take the head of the Marquis of Wu as his leader and assist the Marquis of Wu to attack the Han thieves."

This is also Zhuge Liang's killer move. He knew that Sun Quan and Liu Jing were secretly fighting against the position of leader Cao, which was of great significance to the distribution of interests after the war, so he first expressed his opinion and supported Sun Quan as the three parties to fight against leader Cao.

Sun Quan was finally convinced, he nodded and asked again: "I don't know how the emperor will participate in the fight against Cao."

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, and Sun Quan finally let go. He hurriedly said: "We have two plans, one is to send troops to follow the Jiangdong Army, and the second is to fight on the Western Front, attack Jiangling, and cut off Cao Cao's back road in Jiangling. The two plans will be decided by the Marquis of Wu."

Sun Quan thought about it and smiled, "Let me think about it again, and don't make a decision at all. In short, I support the emperor's position of resisting Cao."

Since Zhuge Liang had achieved his goal, he stayed soon and stood up to say goodbye. Sun Quan personally sent Zhuge Liang out and gave Lu Su a wink. Lu Su understood that Wu Hou wanted to stay by himself.

Lu Su sent Zhuge Liang out of the gate and hurried back. Sun Quan stood in front of the window and pondered. Lu Su did not dare to disturb the lord's thoughts, so he stood quietly.

After a long time, Sun Quan asked, "Does Zijing know why Liu Bei must participate in the plan to fight against Cao?"

"He is the emperor's uncle and is also under the edict of his clothes and belt. At this time, if he hides in Wuling and does not leave, he will be criticized by the people of the world. He cannot bear such heavy responsibility."

"You really think so." Sun Quan turned around and looked at Lu Su with a smile.

Lu Su nodded, "Weichen really thinks this way, and Zhuge Liang also admitted that Weichen's idea is correct."

Sun Quan shook his head, "That's because Zijing is too loyal and can't understand Zhuge Liang's scheming."

Lu Su hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't know, please tell the Lord Wu clearly."

Sun Quan sighed, "Sit down and talk."

The two sat down, and then Sun Quan smiled bitterly and said, "I just realized that yesterday Zibu found me and advised me to discuss the conditions even if I finally joined forces with Liu Jing to fight against Cao, and asked Liu Jing to give up the five counties of Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, Guiyang and Hengyang. However, except for Changsha County, the other four counties were all in the hands of Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang insisted that Liu Bei's army participated in the fight against Cao, and obviously realized this, but I forgot for a moment and only realized now."

Lu Su was silent for a moment and asked, "Does Wu Hou want to repent and overturn the promise just now?"

"I'm not so untrustworthy, but if I could make Kong Ming disappear without knowing it, then..."

Sun Quan meant that if Zhuge Liang was killed, no one would know what he promised and could be invalidated. However, this idea was a bit too ruthless and he hoped to get the support of Lu Su.

Lu Su immediately stood up and said, "Wu Hou, please let Weichen say something. Liu Bei's participation in the war will help the lord fight against Cao. This is actually a great thing. But for the sake of the four counties, he is willing to take the name of a rebel minister. It is actually a big mistake. If Wu Hou wants four counties, he can find other reasons after the war. However, in the face of the great enemy, Weichen believes that it should be united and united to fight against Cao. "

Sun Quan said silently. Lu Su said something and made him feel ashamed. After a while, he sighed and said, "Zi Jing is right. I almost did something stupid. Thanks to Zi Jing's advice, it would be fine. I would accept Zi Jing's words. Since I had agreed, I would no longer regret it. Four counties and others will find other reasons to seize them after the war." "You are Jiang Gan."

In the cabin, Liu Jing looked at the slightly thin man in front of him with interest. This was the man in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, who had fallen into the trap twice and killed Cao Cao's army of 830,000, and he was actually a native of Chaisang.
