Lifting the covers from the bed in the middle of winter is enough to make a person furious, not to mention that Jiang Gan is still dragged out, plus he often gets angry when he gets out of bed.
Along the way, he struggled and kicked his legs, yelled and cursed, and was heartbroken, like a pig about to be slaughtered.
Zhou Yu frowned and looked at his former classmate and close friend. Jiang Qian also came from a famous family in Huainan. He was very face-conscious on weekdays, and he was very polite during banquets. He was very fluent in dealing with both sides. He didn't expect to have such an impatient side.
Jiang Gan saw Zhou Yu in the handsome position, with disheveled beard and hair, and jumped to his feet and cursed: "Zhou Yu, you are despicable and shameless, you are a wolf-hearted villain."
"Shut up!" Zhou Yu stood up and shouted: "I regard you as a close friend and treat you with sincerity, why did you endanger my life?"
Jiang Gan was startled and hissed: "I helped you avenge the savior and borrowed food and grass. How dare you bite back?"
Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and laughed, and asked sharply: "In that case, why did Xiahou Dun send troops to attack Beihai and cut off my queen?"
"Ah?" Jiang Gan said in shock: "Is this happening?"
Zhou Yu said coldly: "If it hadn't been for the urgent report from the Beihai defenders last night, I'm afraid Xiahou Dun would have taken advantage of my lax defense to steal the city. You sent me grain and grass, but you were just conspiring with Xiahou Dun to make us all get drunk and cooperate inside and outside, right?"
"Oh, it's definitely not the case!" Jiang Qian waved his hands repeatedly, broke into a cold sweat and asked urgently: "Is there such a thing?"
Zhou Yu pointed to the north: "The Wei army is besieging Beihai. The facts are there. If I hadn't seen the opportunity earlier, I would have become a prisoner by now!"
"How could this happen? How could this happen..." Jiang Gan's mind was in chaos. He didn't know whether it was caused by fright or cold, but he huddled up and shivered.
Zhou Yu said in a cold voice: "You and I are classmates and we are friends. I serve the Sun family. You are a traitor to the Cao family. There is no right or wrong in each of them. I didn't expect you to be a guest of the Cao family and plot to kill me. I should have beheaded you in public." But for the sake of our friendship back then, I will let you out of the city today, and we will end our friendship from now on."
Jiang Gan was shocked and shouted: "Gong Jin, there must be a misunderstanding about this matter, please listen to my explanation..."
"See you off!" Zhou Yu waved his hand, turned his back and sighed, sounding extremely sad and disappointed.
"Please, sir!" Xu Sheng helped Jiang Gan stagger out of the house, pulled him to the corner of the street and said in a deep voice: "So sir, you have been lying to me?"
"There is absolutely no such thing!" Jiang Gan came to his senses and hurriedly explained: "This must be Xiahou Dun's own decision. I don't know about it. Don't worry, general. I will get to the bottom of this matter. Prime Minister Cao will definitely have an answer." .”
Xu Sheng stared at Jiang Gan: "How can I trust you?"
Jiang Gan said anxiously: "I have a document in the hands of the general. If I break my promise, I can go to Huainan and mortgage my land. Why do you have any doubts?"
"It makes sense!" Xu Sheng thought for a while, then sent Jiang Gan back to the post, and waited for him to dress up before sending him out of the city.
Jiang Gan led a group of followers and went straight to the Wei army's camp angrily, preparing to raise an army to punish him. When he arrived at the river bank, he was stunned and his horse was frozen like ice.
I saw that the Wei army camp was reduced to ashes. Looking around, the coast was full of scorched earth. People and horses were burned to death. When the morning breeze blew, some corpses turned into ashes and disappeared.
There were dead bodies everywhere outside the camp. They were completely frozen, and the clotted blood was scarlet and dazzling. As we walked towards the shore, there were countless corpses on the ice of the river. Some soldiers were frozen to death before they could even put on their clothes.
The purgatory-like scene was too horrific to watch. Jiang Qian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looking up to the sky and shouting: "The martial artist made a mistake for me!"
He led everyone across the river to pursue the deserters, and pursued them straight into Zhangqiu City. When the soldiers patrolling the city saw that it was Jiang Gan, they shot him back with bows and arrows, and hurriedly went to report.
"How dare this dog thief chase you here?" Xiahou Dun was furious after hearing the report. He put on his horse and came out to fight. When he arrived outside the city, he saw only Jiang Gan and his party. He cursed, "Jiang Gan, how dare you come here to die?"
Although Jiang Qian was a scribe, his promising future was ruined by Xiahou Dun. He was angry but showed no fear. He stepped forward on his horse and asked, "Xiahou Dun, I have formed an alliance with Zhou Lang. Why did I secretly send troops to attack Beihai and anger the Wu army?"
"This..." Xiahou Dun waved his sword and was about to kill Jiang Gan from his horse. Hearing this, he was stunned on the spot and finally understood why the Wu army made a surprise attack overnight.
Seeing Xiahou Dun's expression, Jiang Gan knew that this was the case. He became even more angry and shouted: "Xiahou Yuanrang, I was ordered by the Prime Minister to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender. Although I failed, I agreed to form an alliance against Liu Qi. Even though the general has intentions If you are dissatisfied, you should wait for the Prime Minister to give orders before making a decision, and launch an army privately. What crime should be committed?"
"Alas!" Xiahou Dun also felt regretful and shook his head helplessly: "It's my fault for being so impulsive. Actually..."
Originally, he wanted to wait for Jiang Gan to return to the camp yesterday to discuss the matter. Unexpectedly, Jiang Gan stayed in the city to have a banquet with Zhou Yu. In anger, he also held a banquet in the camp and forgot about it. He originally wanted to threaten Zhou Yu with troops from Beihai. The result is self-defeating.
Jiang Gan was unreasonable, clasped his fists and said loudly: "General, please give me a reasonable explanation!"
Xiahou Dun's face was livid, he cupped his fists and said, "Sir, please come to the city to speak."
Jiang Gan also knew that Xiahou Dun was a close general of the Cao family, and the warrior had a bad temper, so he did not dare to push too hard, so he marched into the city with a cold snort.
When he arrived at the mansion and sat down, Jiang Gan had calmed down and was sulking without saying a word. Since this happened to Xiahou Dun, he should be responsible for it. He was nepotistic. No wonder Cao Cao was defeated repeatedly.
Xiahou Dun sighed softly: "I had no intention of attacking Beihai, just to deter the Wu soldiers. Who knew that Zhou Lang'er was so irritable? Alas - I wonder if you, sir, have any other good ideas?"
"Zhou Yu is arrogant and can only be gentle, not forceful!" Jiang Gan could only shake his head helplessly and said, "We will withdraw our troops and horses from Beihai first, so I have to go back to Xuzhou in person to report this matter to the Prime Minister. See Can you contact Zhou Lang again?"
Xiahou Dun's eyes twitched, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I hope you can give me a kind word, sir!"
Just as Jiang Gan was about to answer, he suddenly sneezed several times and turned pale. Xiahou Dun quickly ordered someone to send him to the back office to boil hot ginger soup to keep him warm.
Zhong Jin said: "These scribes always like to talk and talk. Going back to see the prime minister this time may be detrimental to the general, so we need to make plans in advance."
Xiahou Dun frowned and sighed: "Forty thousand soldiers and horses were wiped out. How can we hide this?"
Zhong Jin whispered: "The surprise attack on Beihai was Wang Ling's plan, and Tian Yu commanded the troops. Why didn't the general blame the two of them and say that they did not obey the general's orders and sent troops privately..."
"Silence!" It doesn’t matter to you.”
Zhong Jin was shocked and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "General, please calm down. This villain just made a blunder and had no intention of provocation."
Xiahou Dun looked at the gloomy sky outside the door and said slowly: "Don't I know that your brothers are thinking about me? However, the king has issued an edict to punish thieves. If he wants to bring peace to the world, he must rely on the cooperation of civil and military forces and the unity of the soldiers. If everyone is blamed and jealous, Who else is willing to serve the king?"
Zhong Jin calmly replied: "The general has great views, but the villain is ashamed of himself."
Xiahou Dun sighed softly: "Since the battle with Liu Qi, I have repeatedly lost troops and generals. As a general of the clan, I must set an example and not chill everyone. You should also remember this."
