    wCao Cao made up his mind and asked Guo Jia again.

    "Once the Cao and Sun families unite, Jingzhou will undoubtedly be destroyed. However, this is a big deal, and Liu Ye reported that Zhuge Kongming, who is more wise than demons, is also in Jiangdong at this time. There can be no mistakes in the alliance of the Cao and Sun families.  Zhuge Kongming is not an ordinary person, so he must be on guard. One is to send a message and reply, and the other is to take Zhuge Kongming's head. However, he heard that Zhuge Kongming's brother is an important minister in Jiangdong, and he will definitely protect him.  Brother, I don¡¯t know how to be a filial piety, who do you think is more appropriate?¡±

    Guo Jia thought about it for a while, and then he thought of someone to report to Cao Cao.

    "The person Sun Ce relies on is Zhou Lang. Sun Ce and Zhou Lang are sworn brothers. Sun Ce will ask Zhou Lang about all matters big and small. Jiang Qian of Jiujiang has been friends with Zhou Lang since he was a child, and he is good at distinguishing three things.  If you have a sharp tongue, you can send this person as your envoy!"

    Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered people to send gold, silk, and fine silk, and summoned Jiang Gan.  Not long after, Jiang Gan rushed to Luoyang to see Cao Cao.  Cao Cao made a detailed report.

    "Ziyi and Zhou Gongjin are very close to each other. If we can succeed in getting the head of Zhuge Kongming, I will not treat you badly. I hope you will not live up to Gu's high hopes!"

    Jiang Qian, whose courtesy name is Ziyi, is now the guest of the tent.  Jiang Gan was elated after hearing this, and he was determined to make meritorious deeds, and he told Cao Cao confidently.

    "Don't worry, Your Majesty. With Qian's friendship with Zhou Lang and Gan's sharp tongue, if he reaches Jiangdong, he will definitely succeed!"

    When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled happily. Zhuge Liang was a genius. Ever since he came out of the mountain, he had used his amazing talent to help Liu Bei transform from the defender of a small county to the real power in Jingzhou today.  There is no doubt about Zhuge Liang's intelligence.  Cao Cao has always regarded Zhuge Liang as a serious problem and wants to eradicate him all the time.  Nowadays, things can be accomplished without bloodshed.  How could Cao Cao not be happy? Cao Cao narrowed his eyes into a bright thin line and asked Jiang Qian.

    "Ziyi, what do you want to get rid of? But it doesn't matter, I won't begrudge being alone!!"

    Jiang Gan had a bright smile on his face and bowed his hands.

    "Your Majesty, don't worry. You only need one boy to go with you and two servants to drive the boat. You don't need the rest."

    Cao Cao was very happy and took a fancy to Jiang Qian. He even stayed at the Wei Palace that night and bought wine to see Jiang Qian off.  The next day, Jiang Gan packed up his luggage, took Cao Cao's documents, and rushed to Xuzhou with his entourage for several days. He boarded a boat via Danyang and rushed to Jiangdong.

    But he said that when Jiang Qian came to Jiangdong, the boundary guard had already sent someone to inform Sun Ce.  Sun Ce immediately discussed with Zhou Yu. When Zhou Yu heard that it was Jiang Qian, he laughed and said that he wanted to talk to Sun Ce.

    "This Jiang Qian has an old relationship with me and is an old friend of mine. Now that Cao Cao has sent him here, it must be to take Zhuge Kongming's head!"

    Sun Ce grinned.

    "It's as Zhuge Kongming expected. What should Gong Jin and us do now?"

    Zhou Yu¡¯s eyes sparkled and he whispered in Sun Ce¡¯s ear, ¡°Teach him this.¡±  Sun Ce was overjoyed and agreed to Zhou Yu's plan and called people to make preparations.  As for Zhou Yu, he dressed up and led hundreds of followers, all wearing brocade clothes and hats, wearing armor and horses, to leave Wuhui on horseback that night to meet Jiang Qian.

    A few days later, in a remote county of Wuhui, Jiang Qian led a boy in green clothes to gallop forward on a horse.  Zhou Yu led hundreds of followers, waited for a long time, and then stood up to greet him.  Jiang Qian looked at Zhou Yu from a distance, and the two looked at each other, as if there was a spark.

    One of the classmates and close friends in the past has now become a famous hero throughout the world.  Not only did he have an outstanding reputation, but he also held great power and became the governor-general in charge of the military and horse power in Jiangdong.  The other one is now just a mere official, nameless and powerless, not as famous as a county, and has never been more than a handful of people.  Comparing the two, it can be said that they are worlds apart.

    Jiang Qian¡¯s eyes tightened, and he secretly said in his heart, ¡°No one is ever miserable. If this happens, I can tell Zhou Gongjin to kill Zhuge Kongming, and the king will be happy, and at least give me the post of guard of a county!¡±  When the time comes when the king's power is overwhelming and the world is unified, how can I, Jiang Ziyi, be afraid that I will not have the chance to stand out!  "

    Jiang Qian's thoughts just started, and the horsewhip in his hands sped up a little faster.  After a while, Jiang Gan arrived on horseback, and Zhou Yu greeted him with great enthusiasm.  Jiang Gan dismounted and smiled.

    "Gongjin, farewell and safe!"

    Zhou Yu smiled broadly, took Jiang Qian's hand and smiled.

    "Zi Yi is kind enough to go far across the country for the purpose of marrying two families. Marquis Wu has ordered me to entertain him well. I wonder if Zi Yi will bring good news?"

    Jiang Gan looked at Zhou Yu silently, and when he saw his old friend, his demeanor was even better than before, he felt a little embarrassed and ashamed, and he hurriedly replied.

    "As Gong Jin wishes, my king has agreed to Wu Hou's request and is willing to treat Wu Hou's sister as an equal wife."

    "Haha, great, great! It's been a long time since we've seen each other, you and I should have a good drink together today!"

    After Zhou Yu finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Gan's reply, he ordered the soldiers to kneel down and offer wine and food, and Zhou Yu came in respectfully.  Jiang QianziYou know, after all, Zhuge Ziyu is an important minister in Jiangdong, so the matter of persuading his brother to be executed should not be done too hastily.  After Jiang Gan finished thinking, he wanted to find out Zhou Yu's story first and then act on his own initiative.

    Jiang Qiansui and Zhou Yu drank a few drinks, mounted their horses and rode together, and returned to Wuhui City that night.  Sun Ce led the heroes from Jiangdong to greet him at the city wall.  Jiang Qian hurriedly dismounted to pay homage and presented him with a document.  After Sun Ce finished watching, he put his palms in his hands and laughed, talking to everyone.

    "Haha! The Cao and Sun families have a good relationship with the Qin and Jin Dynasties. It is really a blessing for the people of the Central Plains and Jiangdong to join forces! From today on, the people of the King of Wei will be like my brothers and sisters in Jiangdong. You must not be rude.  !¡±

    All the civil and military officials in Jiangdong responded in unison.  Jiang Gan was very happy when he heard what Sun Ce said, thinking that it was very possible to persuade Zhuge Kongming to be killed.

    After a while, Sun Ce led everyone to the Marquis Mansion.  The civil servants and military generals, all wearing brocade robes, and the generals and commanders under the tent, all wearing silver armor, entered in two lines.  Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led Jiang Qian. After they all met, they sat down on both sides.  Jiang Qian remembered them one by one, but only found that Zhuge Jin was not at the table.  Jiang Qiansui thought about it in his mind, and then sneered secretly.

    When he was young, Sun Ce held a grand banquet in his mansion, played wonderful music, and drank wine in turns.  Zhou Yu got up after drinking and told the officials.

    "Jiang Ziyi, this is my classmate and close friend! Now that the Cao and Sun families think that fish in water are good, you should get closer to my good friend."

    As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, all the civil and military officials came to toast Jiang Qian enthusiastically.  Jiang Qian was treated as a distinguished guest by people from Jiangdong. He felt very honored and laughed and drank freely.  The seats were filled with people drinking wine.  After drinking half vinegar, someone suddenly came into the hall. He hurried to Sun Ce's ear and spoke quickly in a low voice.  Sun Ce's expression changed after hearing this, and he secretly winked at Zhou Yu.  Zhou Yu showed a slight look of surprise, apologized to Jiang Gan for a few words, and then hurriedly followed Sun Ce into the back hall.

    Jiang Gan saw it with keen eyesight and knew that something bad was going to happen, so he did not dare to drink more.  After a while, Zhou Yu returned to the banquet, with a bit of anger in his eyes. Jiang Qian wanted to ask, but Zhou Yu used his own excuses.  Jiang Qian naturally didn't believe Zhou Yu's words.

    Late at night, Jiang Qian heard the sound of soldiers walking in the city outside his house. He was shocked and confused, and said goodbye to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

    "It's too much to drink."

    Sun Ce seemed to have important matters to deal with, so he ordered to withdraw from the meeting, leaving only a few generals and everyone else resigned.  Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan walked side by side and said.

    "It's been a long time since I've been on the same bed with Ziyi, so I'm going to sleep tonight. How do you feel about it?"

    Jiang Qian was about to find out the truth from Zhou Yu, so he immediately agreed.  Zhou Yu then took Jiang Qian back to his residence and slept together in the wing room in the west courtyard.  Zhou Yu lay down with his clothes on and was about to close his eyes and fall asleep.  Seeing that it was the right time, Jiang Gan asked.

    "I heard that Zhuge Kongming also hopes to form an alliance with Jiangdong? I wonder how Wu Hou would respond?"

    Zhou Yu listened and smiled secretly, thinking that Jiang Ziyi really couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned over and looked at Jiang Qiandao.

    "Then how can Zhuge Kongming compare with the King of Wei? My lord has already rejected it. However, this Zhuge Kongming is very annoying and has been entangled in this matter. If my lord hadn't seen that his brother Zhuge Jin is an important minister of Jiangdong, I would have let him go.  The bodies are separated!"

    Jiang Qian heard that Zhou Yu seemed to hate Zhuge Liang extremely, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said.

    "I want to do something rich and noble, and tell it to Gong Jin. If Gong Jin can agree, he will be rewarded heavily by the King of Wei. Not only that, the relationship between the Cao and Sun families will become more stable because of this matter. I wonder if Gong Jin is willing to listen!?  "

    After Zhou Yu heard this, he pretended to be surprised and hurriedly held Jiang Gan's hand and asked.

    "Is there such a good thing?"

    "You and I have been friends for many years. How could I deceive Gong Jin!?"

    "Ziyi, come quickly!"

    "Does Gong Jin know how Zhuge Kongming got his reputation today?"

    Zhou Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and pretended to look at Jiang Qian in surprise and uncertainty.  Jiang Gan seemed to have guessed Zhou Yu's scruples and smiled.

    "Gong Jin just said it doesn't matter."

    "Of course it was Zhuge Kongming who lit the two fires in Jingzhou!"

    "Yes! It was these two fires that burned down my king's army of nearly 70,000 to 80,000 men. My king had countless victories in his life, but these two battles were the only ones where the losses of troops and horses were particularly heavy. The person my king hated the most in his life was  This belongs to Zhuge Kongming. If Gong Jin can eradicate this person, how can he not receive a generous reward from our king?"

    As soon as Jiang Qian said these words, Zhou Yu jumped up suddenly, his face changed continuously, but in the end he sighed repeatedly.  Just when Jiang Qian was suspicious, a general rushed to the hospital and asked to see him.

    Zhou Yu hurriedly got up and ran out of the house to meet him, while Jiang Gan stayed close to the door and secretly listened to the conversation between Zhou Yu and the general.  The content of the conversation couldn't help but make Jiang Gan's expression change drastically.

    It turns out that the general told Zhou Yu that not long ago, Zhuge Jin and his younger brother Zhuge Liang escaped from Wuhui all night and chased the soldiers all night, but no one found him.??.  Zhou Yu seemed extremely angry when he heard this, and ordered the general to arrest the Zhuge brothers.  Then he taught him to send people to all parts of Jiangdong to closely search for the traces of the Zhuge brothers, and never let these two people leave Jiangdong.

    Jiang Qian heard everything in secret, and his heart was ups and downs.  After a while, Zhou Yu returned to the house with a dark face, only to see Jiang Gan looking over with a sneer.  Zhou Yu was about to explain, but Jiang Qian rushed to speak first.

    "Hmph. Everyone in the world says that Zhuge Kongming is a god at predicting things. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true. It seems that this is about wealth and no chance for Gong Jin."

    "Hey! It's too early for Ziyi to speak. Zhuge Kongming has not yet escaped from Jiangdong. Once he is captured, it is just a matter of words as to how he will be dealt with because of the high regard Wu Hou has for Yu. Ziyi rarely comes to Jiangdong from far away, and Yu  As a courtesy to the landlord, I hope Ziyi will stay in Jiangdong for a few more days. "m
