Zhou Yu once again took Jiang Gan to the camp to drink with the generals. He pointed at the generals and said: "These are all talents from Jiangdong. Our gathering today is called the gathering of heroes. My old classmates are here. I have to organize a high-level banquet.”
He continued drinking like this, and the atmosphere reached new climaxes until late at night. Zhou Yu asked people to light candles, then took out his sword and performed a sword dance to add to the fun. They even compose poems. After finishing, the whole place was filled with cheers and applause until late at night.
Jiang Gan thought that there would be no chance to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, so he simply said goodbye: "Old classmate, thank you for your warm hospitality. I can't drink enough. It's getting late now, so I'll just say goodbye."
Zhou Yu ordered the banquet to be removed, and then asked the generals to leave, saying: "I haven't had a gathering with my classmates for a long time, and I haven't been this happy. Don't leave today. Let's be together and talk about the past." Wan pretended to be drunk, and regardless of Jiang Gan's attitude, he just dragged him into his bedroom. After that, he fell asleep with his clothes on, and then got up again and vomited wildly.
What kind of talking about the past is this? Jiang Gan even felt that sleeping was a problem. When he started to pay attention to Zhou Yu's situation, he heard that the army had already called the second watch. It was the second watch. When he got up, he saw that there were still some lights. When he went to Zhou Yu again, he was already snoring loudly. Like a thunderclap, he suddenly walked outside and saw some books piled on the table, some of which were very broken. He looked back at Zhou Yu and found that Zhou Yu had not moved. , was already asleep, so he became bolder, quickly looked through the contents on the table, and found that they were all correspondence.
One of them was very special, it read: "Cai Hao and Zhang Yun opened it."
After Jiang Gan saw it, he was very surprised. This was an important discovery, so he opened the letter and read the content inside. The content was: We surrendered to Cao Cao not for the purpose of wealth, but because of the situation. Now the north has been conquered. The army is trapped in the camp. We are looking for a suitable opportunity to dedicate Cao Cao's head to the governor soon. Sooner or later, if someone comes, we will report the situation. I hope you don't doubt it, and we will reply in time.
After Jiang Gan finished reading, he thought that the reason for the last defeat was not other than Cai Hao and Zhang Yun acting. It turned out that their real purpose was to plot against Prime Minister Cao. Although they did not recruit Zhou Yu to surrender, this was still a major event. He found out, so he hid the letter in his clothes. When he went to see Zhou Yu again, he found that he had only turned over but was still snoring.
Jiang Gan quickly put out the light and only heard Zhou Yu talking in his sleep. The content was: Old classmate, I want to give you a surprise. Soon I will take out Cao Cao's head and show it to you. I have a plan. Is it as powerful as before?
Jiang Gan thought Zhou Yu was awake and responded quickly.
Then Zhou Yu said again: "Old classmate, don't leave! I'll take Cao Cao's head, so you don't have to go back. We are still classmates!"
Jiang Gan was about to ask tentatively, but found that Zhou Yu started snoring again and lay motionless on the bed.
When it was almost the fourth watch, I heard someone entering the camp and asking: "Is the Grand Governor up?"
Zhou Yu woke up from his dream and deliberately asked the person: "Who is sleeping in the bed?"
He replied: "The Governor asked his classmates to rest together yesterday, how could he forget?"
Zhou Yu walked outside, deliberately raised his voice loudly, and said very regretfully: "I haven't drank for a long time, let alone drunk. I was completely drunk yesterday. I don't know what happened, and I don't know if I leaked anything." ah?"
The man replied: "No, I came to report to the governor that someone has arrived in Jiangbei."
Zhou Yu whispered: "Don't make too much noise." Then he called Jiang Gan's name, and Jiang Gan pretended to be asleep.
Zhou Yu sneaked out of the camp again. Jiang Gan actually turned on the eavesdropping mode. He only heard someone outside saying: "Zhang Yun and Cai Hao sent people to deliver a message, saying that there have been no opportunities recently and there is no way to take action at the moment." We need to slow down for a while to kill Cao Cao." The voice behind was so low that Jiang Gan couldn't hear it, and he couldn't hear it clearly.
Not long after, Zhou Yu entered the camp again and called Jiang Gan's name. Jiang Gan still pretended to be asleep, pretended not to hear, covered his head and fell asleep. Zhou Yu took off his clothes and fell asleep.
Jiang Qian was thinking in bed, Zhou Yu is a very careful person, if I don't see the letter the next day, I guess my life will be in danger.
So after weighing the left and right, he finally decided to call Zhou Yu. It was already the fifth watch, but Zhou Yu didn't respond at all and was still in a sleeping state. So Jiang Gan secretly packed his things and touched the letter inside his clothes. , walked out of the camp gently.
At this time, the child also came and asked: "It's so late, where are you going, sir?"
Jiang Gan smiled and said: "I am afraid that I will delay the governor's affairs here, so I prepared to say goodbye, but the governor drank too much."
So Jiang Gan left, and no sergeant came out to stop him on the way. However, Jiang Gan was still sweating profusely on the boat, fearing that the matter would be exposed.
Arriving at Cao Jun's camp, Jiang Gan quickly disembarked and went to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked, "How about recruiting Zhou Yu to surrender?"
He replied: "Zhou Yu is a man of great faith, and Sun Quan is kind to him. Words cannot express his kindness."
Cao Cao was a little unhappy and said, "If things don't go well, Zhou Yu will definitely laugh at me!"
Jiang Qiandao: "Actually, things are not that bad. I have learned about something very important. I hope the prime minister can ask you to step aside first."
Jiang Gan took out the letter and told Cao Cao what happened. Cao Cao was very angry and said: "I treated them so well and even became the commander of the navy. I didn't expect the two of them to be like this!"
So he immediately sent someone to call Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Cao Cao said: "I am going to let you march to attack Zhou Yu now."
Cai Mao said: "We are still training now. Water warfare is not yet mature. We hope to mature before we advance."
Cao Cao said angrily: "When you and I train the navy, I think my head will also be dedicated to Zhou Yu."
When Cao Cao said this, the two of them had no idea what it meant. They were very panicked and didn't know how to answer. Cao Cao glanced at the two men and asked the warriors to come in, push them out and behead them. Soon their heads appeared in front of Cao Cao.
Not long after Jiang Gan left, Cao Cao finally understood and said: "I have fallen into a trap!"
When everyone saw that Cao Cao had killed two people for no reason, they were confused and asked why. Although Cao Cao knew that they had been tricked, he was afraid of making a fool of himself and refused to admit his mistake. He said: "The two of them neglected the morale of the army. I beheaded them on purpose." Yes." Everyone sighed.
Cao Cao selected Mao Jie and Yu Jin among the people as commanders of the navy to replace Cai Hao and Zhang Yun. He went to inquire about the situation carefully and reported to Jiangdong. Zhou Yu was very happy and said to everyone: "That's why I'm afraid." , these two people have been wiped out now, so I don’t have any worries!”
Lu Su said: "The commander-in-chief uses his troops like a god, so why worry about Cao Cao's thieves not being defeated!"
