Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 717 Lobbyist, Jiang Ziyi
After a small episode, Cao Cao and Lu Yan and other generals marched separately.

Cao Cao led the land army from Xiangyang and Changban to Jiangling, and then went to Wulin to Chibi; while Cai Mao and Lu Yan's water army set off directly from Hanshui and Pan Yangze, and their targets were also directed at Chibi.

At the beginning of August,
The army led by Cao Cao and Lu Yan finally arrived at Chibi smoothly.

After learning about the various confrontations between the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy for half a month, Cao Cao and Lu Yan also had a general understanding of the combat power of the Jiangdong Navy.

Basically, the Jingzhou Navy is at a disadvantage in all aspects.Although it is possible to barely fight against the Jiangdong Navy, the results will not be too good.

Wanting to rely on Cai Hao and Zhang Yun to defeat the Jiangdong navy is basically a dream, and the real reliable ones have to be Lu Yan and his big Han navy!
After figuring this out, Cao Cao didn't bother anymore. The Jingzhou army was abolished, but the waste can be reused anyway, so let them wait for now.

It was strange to say that after arriving at Chibi and joining Lu Yan, his headache soon disappeared, his mind was no longer dizzy, and his food was delicious.

When the army arrived at Chibi, the entire Jingzhou navy, including Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of the joining of the Han navy, the Jiangdong navy was afraid of the long-range attack of the Han navy and did not dare to approach easily. This prevented the Jingzhou navy from being ashamed in front of Cao Cao and all the soldiers who marched south.

During the period when the army camped and the navy was relatively free, Gan Ning, Su Fei, Xu Sheng and others also drove a small boat to the Jiangdong Water Village to challenge.

With the navy composed of Gan Ning and his Jinfan Army, Cao Cao's navy can be considered to have combat effectiveness. The battle with the Jiangdong Navy is no longer one-sided, but mutual victory and defeat. It can probably be maintained at [-]-[-] level.

The fight on the Yangtze River was fierce, and Cao Cao's Chinese military tent was also very lively.

Wen You, Lu Yan, Xun You, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Sima Yi and others, Wu You Lu Yan, Xia Houdun, Cao Ren, Xu Chu and others gathered together.

Behind Cao Cao is a huge Jiangdong map, and the most conspicuous place on it is where they are now, Chibi!
Chibi was drawn with a big red circle by Cao Cao, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Cao Cao looked at his advisers and fierce generals, and asked in a dignified tone: "Everyone, our decisive battle with the Jiangdong Army is imminent. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, his eyes scanned the crowd.

When his eyes passed by Lu Yan, Lu Yan just took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Cao, attack your heart before fighting. I have three prisoners of the Jiangdong Army here, and they happened to be in front of everyone in Jiangdong. Let Sun Quan Make a choice."

"Oh? What is the selection method?" Cao Cao asked with interest.

"Choose money, or choose his subordinates"

After Lu Yan replied, he continued to explain: "In order to resist our army's southern conquest, Jiangdong has almost reached the point of selling iron and selling iron. At this time, I clearly marked the price to give Sun Quan a chance to redeem the captives. What do you think of him? How would you choose?"

Cao Cao didn't need to think about it at all, he understood Lu Yan's "sinister" intentions as soon as he turned his head, and he replied: "Mr. Lu, your asking price may be expensive, right?"

"Of course we can't insult the identities of these generals."

Xun You suddenly laughed dumbly, and said: "If Sun Quan agrees, it will definitely make his already bad financial situation worse. But if he refuses to agree or hesitates a little, it will also deal a blow to the trust and morale of the captives and his soldiers."

Jia Xu pressed the corner of his mouth and nodded fiercely, "People say that I, Jia Wenhe, are poisonous men, but they just haven't seen Lu Changsheng's real 'capability'!"

Lu Yan glanced at Xun You and Jia Xu, and said with a heck, "If you can take the initiative, I won't have to work so hard on weekdays."

"."

"Hard???"

"Do you still want a face?"

Ignoring everyone's complaints, Lu Yan continued to say to Cao Cao: "Ling Tong, Zhu Ran, and Dong Xi, I have sent someone to Chen Liuya to send them over. When they arrive, I can send an envoy to come to Cao Cao." Go to Jiangdong and convey the 'friendliness' of our army to Sun Quan and Zhou Yu on the opposite side."

So here comes the question, who will be the messenger to the "Longtan Tiger's Den" in Jiangdong?
Lu Yan originally wanted to recommend someone, but unexpectedly, Xun You said it a step ahead, "My lord, I know someone who may go there as an envoy!"

Cao Cao looked at Xun You and asked, "Who is it?"

"Jiujiang Jiang Gan!"

"Who is Jiang Gan?"

"Jiang Qian is a talented scholar from Jiujiang, known for his talent and debate, he is alone in the river and Huaihe River, and there is no way to oppose him.

He is Zhou Yu's former classmate and friend. If the lord orders Jiang Gan to go to Zhou Yu's camp, not only can he convey his "goodwill" smoothly, but maybe he can also persuade Zhou Yu to surrender? "

Cao Cao had heard of Jiang Dongmei Zhoulang's deeds a long time ago, and he also recognized his talent very much.

After listening to Xun You's introduction, Cao Cao nodded in agreement and said, "If Jiang Gan can lobby Zhou Yu, maybe there will be hope to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender. Even if Zhou Yu can't be persuaded, but Mr. Lu's 'goodwill' can be persuaded. Bringing it is also very good.”

Cao Cao felt that this was a good idea, so he decided: "Okay, then immediately send someone to recruit Jiang Gan to Zhou Yu's camp. If you can persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, it will be a great achievement!"

After the proposal was approved, Xun You secretly sent someone to Jiujiang to invite Jiang Gan, and appointed him as an envoy to Zhou Yu's camp.

After Jiang Gan received Xun You's invitation, he also readily agreed.Came to Cao Ying.

A few days later, when Cao Cao saw Jiang Gan, he immediately worshiped him as a long history, and ordered him to set off for Zhou Yu's navy camp immediately.

Zhou Yu, who was patrolling the camp, suddenly heard Jiang Gan coming from the opposite bank, and immediately understood Jiang Gan's purpose in his heart.However, Zhou Yu only guessed one of Jiang Gan's reasons for coming here.

Although he knew Jiang Gan's intentions, Zhou Yu went out of the water village to meet him in person.

After seeing Jiang Gan, Zhou Yu laughed loudly and strode forward to meet him. He enthusiastically took Jiang Gan's hand and said, "Ziyi, long time no see!"

Jiang Gan also held Zhou Yu's hand enthusiastically, and replied affectionately: "Brother Gongjin, long time no see!"

At this time, Zhou Yu suddenly said in a half-joking tone: "Zi Yiyi came from Cao Ying on the other side, and he came to be a lobbyist for Cao Cao, right?"

When Jiang Gan heard this, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and then he resolutely shook off Zhou Yu's hand, and said angrily, "We are classmates and friends! We haven't seen each other for many years, and I happened to be passing by today, so I came to visit Gongjin. You, you actually called me Are you here to be a lobbyist? This is too chilling."

Zhou Yu snorted coldly in his heart, but the smile on his face was even stronger. He apologized to Jiang Gan again and again: "Oh, oh, Ziyi, don't be angry, it's all because I treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

"Humph!"

"I've already prepared a sumptuous banquet for Ziyi. We haven't seen each other for several years, today we won't talk about business, just talk about Fengyue, we must not get drunk or return home!"

Zhou Yu teased and coaxed, which made Jiang Gan's face slightly relieved.

sunset.

Jiang Gan and Zhou Yu walked towards the camp, their shadows were stretched by the setting sun.

Along the way, the two walked hand in hand, talking and laughing, looking so warm and harmonious.
