Soldiers come to the world

Compared with the triumphant cheers of the Jiangxia military camp, the Jiangdong military camp seemed extraordinarily quiet, and a depressive atmosphere spread in the military camp. Huang Gai led his troops to raid Cao Jun's water village. Instead of succeeding, the entire army was wiped out. It was a great shame and humiliation for the Jiangdong army to be captured.

It was just like this that the Jiangdong army had a kind of complaint from all over, it was dissatisfaction with the governor Zhou Yu, and they lost the first battle, while Jiang Xia army and Cao army had never been defeated in many battles. Heroes are judged by success or failure. If they lose, they lose, but they don't care about why they failed.

At nightfall, Lu Su walked through the large tents and walked quickly towards Zhou Yu's Chinese army tent. He suddenly slowed down. He heard someone talking about the battle during the day. It turned out to be Tai Shici's voice. The other dozen or so people in the tent seemed to be ordinary generals in the army.

"Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. Failure is not terrible. The key is whether the failure is necessary. Huang Gongfu underestimated Cao Cao's navy, thinking that with his few hundred men, he could enter Cao's water village and capture the flag. He could Such impulsiveness, but I don't think the governor should be so careless, this failure is completely unnecessary!"

Tai Shici has always been famous for his straightforwardness, he can say what is in his heart, and he can say that he can say nothing. When Lu Su heard him criticize the governor so much, he couldn't help laughing bitterly in his heart. Just as he was about to leave, another officer said: What are the consequences?"

Lu Su couldn't help slowing down again, only to hear Tai Shici snort coldly, "Of course the consequences will be serious. Today Jiangxia's army won a big victory, but our army was defeated. Moreover, this is the first time we have fought, which has a great impact on the morale of the army. I don't know how many people's hearts will be chilled by such high-spirited actions, at least in front of Jiang Xia's army, we can't hold our heads up."

Lu Su couldn't help but secretly sighed. Tai Shici's words touched his heart. Not only could he not lift his head up, but Jiangdong's army would also be affected if it wanted to gain a dominant position. It is estimated that it will have to listen to Jiang Xia's arrangements in the future.

Lu Su didn't want to hear any more, so he left quickly, and every time he walked through a few large tents, he always heard the sergeant discussing this matter, and his words were either angry or frustrated.

"It's really embarrassing, the battle has not yet started, and the general will be lost first!"

"Hey! The governor is still too young and vigorous. If General Cheng was in charge of the army, he wouldn't be so careless."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

With a heavy heart, Lu Su walked all the way quickly, and soon came to Zhou Yu's big tent of the Chinese army. From a long distance, he saw Zhou Yu pacing in front of the tent with his hands behind his hands, with his head lowered, as if he was thinking about something. Just as the soldiers were about to report, Lu Su But he waved his hand to signal not to disturb the governor, while he stood aside and waited patiently.

If Zhou Yu felt something, he raised his head, saw Lu Su, and said with a smile, "Why is Zijing here?"

"Come and see the governor, it's cold outside, why isn't the governor in the tent?"

"I'm easy to get hot, and I need to calm down outside."

Lu Su smiled wryly, "The governor told me a joke."

"Let's talk about it! Standing outside is not the way to welcome guests."

Zhou Yu invited Lu Su into his tent, ordered his soldiers to pour two cups of hot tea, and asked with a smile, "I guess everyone in the camp is scolding me! Isn't it?"

Lu Su said after a long while: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, the governor should not take it to heart."

"Of course I won't be worried about a defeat, but if there is trouble, I have to find a way to solve it."

"The governor said..."

Lu Su tentatively asked, "What about General Huang?"

"Yeah! I have to find a way to fight a battle and capture a few generals of the Cao army before I can get the Duke back. I'm afraid that Cao Cao won't fight me again."

Lu Su hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much impact does the governor think today's battle has?"

The smile on Zhou Yu's face disappeared, and his expression became dignified. After a long time, he said: "There will definitely be an impact, at least when discussing the battle plan with Jiang Xia's army, we will not have the right to speak, and it will have a certain impact on the division of interests in the future. Zijing, I understand in my heart that I will go to plead guilty to Marquis Wu, so you don't have to worry about me."

At this moment, a sergeant reported at the door: "To the governor, there is a person from the camp who said he was the governor's old friend, but someone recognized it as the envoy of Cao Jun last time."

"Jiang Gan is here!"

Lu Su was the first to react, and his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but think of Liu Jing, but he didn't say it, but said, "Captain, I'm afraid Jiang Gan's coming here is related to General Huang."

"I think so, Cao Cao asked me for an offer!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "But Jiang Ziyi is indeed my old friend, and I'm going to meet him personally."

Zhou Yu immediately went out of the camp. Lu Su hesitated for a moment, and followed him. Outside the camp, Jiang Gan was full of worries. He really didn't like his identity. On the surface, he was representing Prime Minister Cao, but in fact he was led by Liu Jing. control.

On the surface, Cao Cao wanted to provoke the relationship between Jiang Dong and Jiang Xia, but in fact, it made Prime Minister Cao fall into Liu Jing's trap.

Prime Minister Cao had a handwritten letter to Zhou Yu, but Jiang Gan knew that he could not give this letter, at least until Liu Jing agreed, he could not give it to Zhou Yu, he had to reserve it.

At this moment, the gate of the camp opened, and Zhou Yu came out quickly, laughing and said, "Zi Yi, why did you leave without saying goodbye in Qichun County? This time, I must punish you with ten glasses of wine to relieve my grievances. "

Jiang Gan bowed and saluted, "Gongjin, I'm here at the order of the prime minister. Let's talk about business affairs first, and then talk about the old relationship, how about it?"

"Well said, we should talk about business first, come on! Go to my Chinese army tent and talk about it in detail."

Zhou Yu invited Jiang Gan into the tent of the Chinese army. At this time, Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, Lu Meng, Chen Wu, chief secretary Kan Ze and others came to the tent after hearing the news. When everyone saw that it was Jiang Gan, their faces sank Come down, at the last banquet, Jiang Gan insulted the former master Sun Ce, which made them grieve.

On the big tent, Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan sat facing each other, and everyone stood below. They all knew that Jiang Gan must have come for the matter of Huang Gai, and everyone was full of worries.

Jiang Gan arched his hands and said: "I am here to talk about General Huang Gai at the order of Prime Minister Cao. First, let me explain that General Huang Gai was captured alive and is now locked up in the camp. Everything is fine."

Cao Cao asked Jiang Gan to come here this time, and he really had the intention of separating Jiangdong Army and Jiang Xia Army. First, he asked Jiang Gan to reveal that Huang Gai's arrest was betrayed by Liu Jing behind the scenes, which aroused the anger of Jiangdong Army, and then exchanged Huang Gai for horses. Yan, Liu Jing will definitely not agree, as long as Huang Gai is killed because of this, the two of them will definitely turn against each other.

But Cao Cao never dreamed that Jiang Gan had become a double-faced person. He deliberately concealed the fact that Liu Jing used Zhang Ji's opportunity in Cao Ying to betray Huang Gai behind the scenes, and only talked about the deal.

When Zhou Yu heard that Huang Gai was safe, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and asked, "I don't know what conditions do you need to release General Huang back?"

"Prime Minister Cao's condition is very simple. He deeply hates Ma Yan for killing Zhu Ling and surrendering. He must cut this man's body to pieces, so he must exchange Ma Yan for Huang Gai."

Zhou Yu and all the generals looked embarrassed. They looked at each other. Ma Yan had already surrendered to Liu Jing. How could he be exchanged for Huang Gai? Zhou Yu asked coldly, "What if I can't get Ma Yan?" ?”

Jiang Gan shook his head, "We don't want to go to that point, but Prime Minister Cao asked me to tell the governor that if Ma Yan cannot be handed over within three days, Cao Jun will use the yellow cover to sacrifice the flag."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

After Lu Su settled Jiang Gan, he hurried back to the big tent of the Chinese army. At this time, Zhou Yu was the only one left in the big tent, sitting blankly at the table in a daze.

Lu Su had never seen Zhou Yu so devastated before, and he could feel the tremendous pressure he was under. He couldn't help sighing secretly, and persuaded: "The matter has come to this, we should find a way to rescue General Huang as soon as possible."

Zhou Yu sighed after a while, "If there is something wrong with Gongfu, how can I explain it to Marquis Wu?"

Huang Gai is one of the three elders in Jiangdong. He has a high status in Jiangdong. Because he was too hot-headed for a while, he was allowed to challenge Cao Jun, but he was captured by mistake. Jiang Dong's elders confessed, which made Zhou Yu extremely depressed.

Lu Su had no choice but to comfort him: "At this point, we can only go to Liu Jing to see if he can hand over Ma Yan to us."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Zijing, do you think it's possible? Ma Yan just surrendered to Liu Jing, and now he's handing him over to Cao Cao. Is it possible for Liu Jing to agree to such an absurd condition?"

"But...you have to give it a try. The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. As long as Liu Jing is given enough benefits, he may not agree."

Zhou Yu hesitated for a long time. Although he didn't want to go to Liu Jing, there was nothing he could do, and what Lu Su said was somewhat reasonable, let's exchange benefits!It's just such a big favor, I don't know what benefits to offer, Liu Jing will agree?

"Okay! Tomorrow morning, Zijing will accompany me to Liu Jing's camp." Zhou Yu said helplessly.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The camp where Jiang Gan lived was not far from Zhou Yu’s sleeping tent. Although he had met Zhou Yu and explained the matter to a certain extent, his mission had been completed, but Jiang Gan was still uneasy in his heart, as if he had done something huge. His bad conscience will be exposed at any time.

It was really difficult for him to calm down. After all, he concealed what Cao Cao repeatedly told him, and did not reveal the truth about Huang Gai's defeat to Zhou Yu. He felt very guilty, but it was more of a fear. It's over.

Jiang Gan stood in front of the big tent with his hands behind his back and sighed. He felt like he had fallen into a huge quagmire. He struggled to figure it out, but the result was that he sank deeper and deeper. ． ． ．What should he do in the future?

At this moment, a sergeant came over with a mattress and some daily necessities, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, I was ordered by the deputy governor of Lu to send some daily necessities to Mr. Wang. Where are the things?"

"Just put it in the big tent."

Jiang Gan quickly led the soldiers into the tent, pointed to the couch and said, "Just put it on the couch, I will tidy it up myself."

The sergeant put the things on the couch, saw no one was around, but took out a letter from his arms, stuffed it into the bedding in front of Jiang Gan, smiled at Jiang Gan, turned around and walked away.

Jiang Gan was dumbfounded, an unknown soldier actually sent him a letter, this must be Liu Jing, he is everywhere.

Jiang Gan hurriedly found the letter from the quilt, and opened it with trembling hands. As expected, it was Liu Jing's personal letter.

The letter stated very clearly that if he was unwilling to do so, he would return the original letter of guarantee to Sun Quan last time to Cao Cao.

Jiang Gan only felt dizzy for a while, and sat down heavily on the bed again, dripping with cold sweat, he felt a deep sense of fear.
