When Jiang Gan saw Zhou Yu jogging over, the two of them immediately booed and asked for warmth.
Zhou Yu looked at Jiang Gan with kindness and a sense of injustice, "Zi Yi, why did you leave without saying goodbye last time?"
Jiang Gan looked at Zhou Yu's eyes, his tenderness was mixed with golden merit, "To tell the truth, Gongjin, I had to go back earlier last time because of some urgent matters, but it has been resolved now."
Zhou Yu's face suddenly became gloomy, and he asked tentatively, "Zi Yi, did you steal my extremely important document?"
"?" Jiang Gan's heart trembled, but he was still extremely calm, and replied with a trace of surprise: "What document???"
Seeing that Jiang Gan pretended to be real, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.In doing this, he actually wanted Jiang Gan to feel at ease, so that he could create better conditions for him to use his strategy.
"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter...Since Ziyi didn't see it, let's ignore it."
"Oh, I thought it was a secret?"
After the two talked and talked, Zhou Yu enthusiastically pulled Jiang Gan back to the camp.
However, Zhou Yu kept pulling Jiang Gan to brag and chat in the tent, which made Jiang Gan a little restless.
He is here to inquire about information, every minute and every second is precious, how can he waste time here bragging?
Fortunately, Zhou Yu's side had already made arrangements, so Jiang Gan was finally able to escape and returned to the camp that Zhou Yu specially arranged for him, which was closer to the gate of the camp.
In the evening, Jiang Gan saw that Zhou Yu had no time to talk to him, so he started to wander around the barracks.
It's just that he can only go to some ordinary places, military places, and he can't enter at all.
Without getting any useful information, Jiang Gan walked out of the barracks depressed, ready to relax.
Unknowingly, while walking, he accidentally came to a place near a high mountain.
Walking to the foot of the mountain, Jiang Gan suddenly heard a catchy reading sound.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Gan searched around, and finally he found a thatched house among a rock!
The sound of reading came from the thatched hut. Jiang Gan looked at the quiet and quiet environment around him, and after listening to the fluent sound of the reader for a while, he said to himself, "This man is extraordinary!"
Jiang Gan decided to visit the people in the hut, so he came to the hut, knocked on the door lightly,
"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"
With the knock on the door, the sound of reading in the thatched cottage stopped.
Not long after, the door of the thatched cottage opened with a "squeak!"
The door opened, and a man with thick brows and big eyes and an elegant appearance came into Jiang Gan's eyes. Jiang Gan saw that this man had an extraordinary appearance, so he asked, "May I ask your honorable name?"
"My surname is Sun Shao. I don't know how to call you?"
"Sun Shao? Could it be the Sun family?" Jiang Gan was a little surprised, and then replied: "I, Jiang Gan, is the envoy of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty."
After a pause, Jiang Gan asked Sun Shao, "What is the relationship between Mr. Wu and Marquis, and why do you live here?"
Sun Shao sighed and said, "A certain is from Beihai, Qingzhou, and has nothing to do with the Sun family in Jiangdong.
A certain man came to Jiangdong to seek refuge with Sun Quan in his early years. He wanted to show off what he had learned, but Zhou Yu was so proud of his talent that no one kept suppressing me... I couldn't bear this kind of grievance, so I resigned from the official position in a rage. In desperation, I only I can temporarily settle down and study in this hut. "
After Jiang Gan heard this, he couldn't help but think of the situation in which he was underappreciated in the early years, and suddenly felt a kind of sympathy for each other.
"It's a pity, I learned a lot from myself, but it's hard to use my talents because I met someone who was not good... What a pity! It hurts!" After finishing speaking, Sun Shao shook his head again and again, lamenting the injustice of the world, and no one can appreciate it own talent.
On the contrary, Jiang Gan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said in his heart: "The prime minister loves talents like fate, if I introduce a virtuous person for him, wouldn't that be another great achievement?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Gan's heart became hot.
He took two steps closer and said softly: "Your Excellency, I am now the celebrity in front of Prime Minister Cao! Prime Minister Cao loves talents like fate, if you are willing to come with me, I can introduce you to Prime Minister Cao!"
After hearing this, Sun Shao's face was filled with astonishment, and then turned into surprise, and asked: "Brother, can you really introduce me to Cao Cheng?"
"If you have great talent, brother, you can do it!"
"I'm still a little confident about this point... so, thank you in advance, brother!"
Chapter 557 Jingzhou, undercurrents surge
Xiangyang City, Jingzhou, in front of Cai Mansion.
A general in heavy armor said coldly: "Get out of the way! I want to see your wife!"
Facing this cold and murderous general, the guards in front of the Cai Mansion looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.The general in front of him is obviously the future of Cao Jun. They can't be chased away or let go. They really don't know how to deal with it.
Fortunately, at this time, a woman in luxurious clothes walked out of Cai's mansion and relieved them.
This woman is Liu Biao's wife, Liu Cong's mother, and Cai Mao's sister, Mrs. Cai.She heard the commotion outside the door, so she took the initiative to go forward to see what happened.
Mrs. Cai walked outside the gate of the mansion and saw the general in front of her.She asked in a deep voice: "I don't know what the general's name is? What do you want to do when you come to my Cai residence today?"
"I am the Protectorate General Cao Hong. Although you have never met me, you should know my name!" Cao Hong has not been on the battlefield for a long time, but he still maintains the murderous look of the past.Coupled with the slightly fatter figure now, it puts a lot of pressure on Mrs. Cai.
Mrs. Cai's heart was really shocked when she heard this, and she quickly saluted: "So it's General Cao Hong, please forgive me for being blind!"
Although Cao Hong hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time, Cao Hong's reputation was more resounding in the wealthy business circles of the aristocratic family than fighting against Han.
This is an old man who has mastered the main economic lifeline of the great man, and is also one of the biggest power holders behind Cao Cao. It is probably not an exaggeration to call him the God of Wealth.
Unexpectedly, Cao Hong came to the door in person, which really shocked Mrs. Cai.
Cao Hong smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I came here today to establish the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and I just came to Madam's house to help my elder brother bring a letter."
"Huh?" Mrs. Cai was stunned for a while before remembering that the elder brother Cao Hong was talking about was Cao Cao. She wondered in her heart, and said to herself, "What kind of news is it that Cao Cao has to work for Cao Hong to convey it?!"
At this moment, Mrs. Cai suddenly had an ominous feeling in her heart.
Cao Hong took the letter out of his arms and handed it to Mrs. Cai.
When Mrs. Cai received the letter, Cao Hong took the opportunity to touch her hand and wiped her oil.
Mrs. Cai dared not speak out, so she could only suppress her anger and salute: "Thank you, General Cao. But I have important matters to attend to, so I will not accompany you!"
Cao Hong didn't care about Mrs. Cai's anger, but he smiled with empty eyes and said, "It's okay, if you want to come to me, just go straight to the state pastoral mansion."
"Looking for you? I'm looking for you!" Mrs. Cai said angrily in her heart, she nodded lightly to show her understanding, and then left straight away.
Cao Hong rubbed his fingers, looked at Mrs. Cai's enchanting figure with willow waist slightly swaying in the smaller and smaller door, clicked his tongue twice, and said: "Brother who is so beautiful is actually let go, it seems that Cai Zhaoji Yu Husband is really good at it!"
Back in the bedroom, Mrs. Cai put the letter on the table with a serious face.
She is very worried now, and even more inexplicably hesitant... After all, she is just a woman.
After taking a few deep breaths, Mrs. Cai gritted her teeth and opened the letter.
Although she had already made some mental preparations, when Mrs. Cai saw the first sentence of the letter, she couldn't help but her eyes darkened, and she almost passed out!
In the letter, he said straight to the point: "Cai Mao and Zhang Yun secretly took refuge in Jiangdong, and the prime minister was so angry that he had already beheaded Cai Mao and Zhang Yun!"
When Mrs. Cai saw this sentence, her hesitation was greatly shocked, and she almost rolled her eyes and passed out.
But fortunately, she was only briefly absent-minded, and soon regained consciousness.
Cai Mao is Mrs. Cai's younger brother, who has been in charge of the Jingzhou Navy for many years.
The Cai family ushered in a rapid development after Cai Mao took refuge in Cao Cao, and Mrs. Cai has been looking forward to Cai Mao's broader development in Cao Jun.As long as Cai Mao gains power, Mrs. Cai will also be able to flourish and become the veritable No. [-] family in Jingzhou.
But who would have expected that Cai Mao would be killed just like that? !
"Cai Mao secretly seek refuge in Jiangdong?" Mrs. Cai stared at this sentence, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, "How could Cai Mao seek refuge in Jiangdong?!"
Mrs. Cai couldn't accept it, she had already seen the strangeness in it.
Cai Maoxin has a lot of thoughts and is a master who refuses to suffer.
Cao Cao is so powerful, and the future he can give him is obviously far more than Sun Quan. How could he give up everything now and turn to a weak person?
Mrs. Cai suppressed the great sadness in her heart, forced herself to calm down and then looked down.
"Later, the prime minister found out that it was Zhou Yu who forged the letter of surrender by imitating Cai Mao's handwriting.
"Goddamn Zhou Yu!"
"Damn Cao Cao!"
Mrs. Cai almost gritted her silver teeth to pieces. She wished she could tear Zhou Yu's body to pieces right now to relieve the hatred in her heart.
There is also Cao Cao, who originally thought that he was a wise and heroic lord, and following him, he could be a high-ranking official and a rich salary, and he was popular and hot.Who would have thought that he would not even be able to see through such a superficial scheming of divorce, and beheaded the pillar of his own family in a moment of carelessness?
Madam Cai felt sad, but she continued to look down,
"The Prime Minister knew that he was ashamed of the Cai family, so he specially sent General Cao Hong to Jingzhou. A chamber of commerce will be established in Jingzhou, and the Cai family can nominate someone to be the vice president of the chamber of commerce."
Mrs. Cai understood that this was Cao Cao's compensation to her family.
But the problem is, except for one Cai Mao in the Cai family, Cai Zhong, Cai He and the like are all useless people.
The vice president of the Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly an extremely important position, and many wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families want to occupy this position.
But the more important the position is, the more the person occupying the position needs equal ability, otherwise they will not be worthy and will be squeezed out by others in the end.
Cao Cao is willing to compensate the Cai family, which means that he has not abandoned the Cai family, and Mrs. Cai finally feels much better in her heart.
After reading the letter, Mrs. Cai felt as if she had walked away from reincarnation... Only then did she realize that she was sticky all over her body, her body was still weak and she couldn't lift her strength...
But now, Mrs. Cai can't relax.
She knows that after Cai Mao's death, the Cai family will definitely attract the coveted eyes of other aristocratic families in Jingzhou. She must think of a way to deal with it, otherwise, she may not wait until the Chamber of Commerce is born, and the Cai family will have been eaten away by other aristocratic families. up.
Mrs. Cai gritted her teeth and said to herself: "Although my Cai family will face huge changes, as long as we get through it, the road ahead will be smooth! The Cai family has been entrenched in Jingzhou for many years, how can they be slaughtered at will? But I How can a woman resist those tigers and wolves?"
At this moment, Mrs. Cai finally understood why Cao Hong said that she could go directly to the State Shepherd's Mansion to find him... It seems that the only one she can rely on now is the Cao family!
"Since that's the case, shall I go see Cao Hong later?"
But when she thought of Cao Hong's greasy and wretched actions just now, Mrs. Cai got goose bumps all over her body...
But for the sake of her family and herself, she still decided to go all out!
......
Midnight,
Headed by the Kuai family, more than a dozen patriarchs of the big and small families in Jingzhou gathered together.
Almost at the same time as Mrs. Cai, they received the news that Cai Mao had been killed for collaborating with the enemy.
At this moment, they seemed to be transformed into a group of sharks that smelled of blood, swimming excitedly, wanting to divide and eat the huge Cai family!
Chapter 558 The serial ship, Lao Cao finally connected
Besides, after Jiang Gan had an in-depth conversation with Sun Shao, he finally believed that this person was indeed very capable.
Not to mention other things, just talk about the serial warship he proposed, which solved the problem of northern soldiers who were not used to water warfare and could not stand on board.
Big boats and small boats are connected head to tail with iron rings, and then planks are laid between the boats.
At that time, not to mention people, even war horses can come and go freely, and no matter how big the wind and waves are, the soldiers on board will not be affected by the bumps.
When Jiang Gan heard the timing of the serial ship, he was immediately shocked.
Cao Cao has had a headache for a long time about the navy problem, isn't this just the solution?
Because although Lu Yan has 10,000+ sailors under his command, he is not sure of winning when facing the prepared Jiangdong navy.Wouldn't it be more secure if Cao Cao's army could join in and cooperate with the navy?
After Jiang Gan talked with Sun Shao, he felt that he had benefited a lot. He got up and saluted Sun Shao and extended an invitation: "Mr. I know, with the prime minister's temperament of loving talents like his life, he will definitely use him again."
Where did Sun Shao dare to go, he was just following Zhou Yu's order to teach Jiang Gan how to serial ship...
"Prime Minister Cao has a lot of talents, and there are such brilliant and capable civil servants as Brother Ziyi, when will Sun Mou have a bright future..."
Sun Shao belittled himself and exalted Jiang Gan, which made Jiang Gan feel somewhat regretful in his joy, "Ah... Brother Sun and I only know each other so late."
"In the future when the prime minister takes down Jiangdong, brother Ziyi can come to drink with me anytime." Sun Shao bowed his hands and comforted him with a smile.
When Jiang Gan thought about it, he was right!
As long as the serial boat is on board, Zhou Yu's navy will be defeated!
As long as Jiangdong is without the protection of the Yangtze River and the navy, wouldn't Cao Cao simply round and flatten it?
Thinking of this, Jiang Gan said to Sun Shao: "Since this is the case, there is no need to delay, and I will leave first!"
Sun Shao knew that Jiang Gan had successfully taken the bait, but whether Cao Cao took the bait could only depend on the destiny.
Standing up, Sun Shao and Jiang Gan walked out of the hut together.
After sending Jiang Gan outside the camp, Sun Shao left.
