Chapter 19 7. Jiang Qian crossed the river

"Hey... If Prime Minister Cao could have used Jiang's plan to lobby Jiangdong earlier, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others would have died long ago. Why did they delay for so long?" The raging river wind blew the clothes of Jiang Gan, who was standing on the pier by the bank, swaying from side to side.But he looked at the other side, with his head held high and his chest held high, with a smug look. Jiang Gan said this to Sima Yi who came to see him off.During the more than ten days he lived in Cao Ying, he became the most familiar with Sima Yi, and the two often chatted together.Sima Yi always asked him about Jiangdong's relevant information humbly, and paid the most attention to Zhou Yu's temper and habits, Sun Quan's employment and handling of affairs, and other aspects.Seeing that Sima Yi was so modest and inquisitive, Jiang Gan couldn't help being greatly benefited, and he almost "told all his money" about every question he had.A few days ago, Sima Yi spent a lot of effort to get him a bottle of "Zhuyan Wine" from Xiahouyuan and Cao Chun, which was said to be able to prevent and cure epidemics. It's gratitude, and I feel that Sima Yi is worthy of deep friendship.

When Sima Yi heard Jiang Gan's emotion, he just laughed and didn't respond.He understood the reason why Cao Cao suddenly changed his course and was eager to ask Jiang Gan to cross the river to the enemy camp in Chibi to lobby Zhou Yu and Lu Su.The day before yesterday afternoon, the North Army led by Zhang Liao and Xu Huang marched eastward along the Hanshui River. The vanguard was attacked by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the Mianyang area, and Liu Fangxiao, the two members of the army, lost the first battle and had to stay in Mianyang temporarily, unable to advance.Moreover, there is another "wind" spreading into Cao Jun's Wulin Water Village: Liu Bei may have personally led 10,000 powerful soldiers to sneak west from Xiakou City, and is preparing to cooperate with the Jiangdong Navy to launch a surprise attack on Wulin Water Village from land!These two situations shocked Cao Cao greatly.In addition, the soldiers in the naval battalion were a little unstable, and he was temporarily unable to sail south to attack Chibi, so he had to start Jiang Gan's "leisure chess" and asked him to go to the Chibi Water Village to try to lobby Zhou Yu, Lu Su.Although he understood the cause and effect of all this, Sima Yi naturally had to keep his mouth shut, and it was impossible to disclose these inside information to Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan was unaware of Sima Yi's reaction, and stared at the light boat that was parked on the bank to pick him up across the river, but he was very excited.I was finally going to cross the Yangtze River to show off my eloquence, and I made a great contribution to the Han Dynasty's six counties and eighty-one counties in the east of the Yangtze River!Excited, his face glowed red. "Mr. Jiang, Yi has always firmly believed that you are eloquent and have the extraordinary ability to conquer the seventy cities of the Qi State by relying on him. Yi will welcome your success at any time on the north bank of the Yangtze River." Sima Yi pointed to the light boat on the leaf. The eight tiger and ben warriors standing with swords and halberds said slowly, "After all, you are representing my Han court to persuade Zhou Yu and Lu Su to surrender and surrender. These tiger and ben warriors can help you set off the majestic imperial envoy Let those Jiangdong barbarians who don't know the etiquette and education of the Central Plains see the majestic power of my Han court!"

Knowing that the eight tiger warriors were won by Sima Yi, he was very grateful and thanked Cao Cao, "Thank you, Mr. Sima, for putting yourself in Jiang's shoes! The "confidant" that Jiang met in his three lifetimes! Although Bao Shuya treated Guan Zhongzhi with sincerity and sincerity, it is far from being able to match it now! The great kindness is not lightly thanked. Waiting for Jiang to come back from the miraculous construction of the Chibi Water Village , I will repay you in the future!" Sima Yi waved his hand forward and made a gesture of seeing him off: "Then, Yi sincerely wishes Mr. Jiang a smooth sailing!"

Seeing the light boat that Jiang Shi was on finally passing away like a speck of black dot on the misty river, Sima Yi withdrew his eyes and turned to the blue sky. He raised his face with a lost expression. It took a long time before he spoke, and he spoke to Niu Jin, who was the only one who stayed by his side and waited quietly. Now Niu Jin has been following him as a soldier of Buqu.Sima Yi said this: "Niu Jin, do you think my Sima family members are too cruel? They killed so many innocent sailors in Jingzhou for the self-interest of one family and one surname?" Niu Jin replied a little blankly: "Niu only knows that the second master and young master must have a reason for you to do these things... Niu Jin can't think too much and say more."

"Hey! My Sima family is sorry for these 13,000 seriously ill patients! Who made them live in this chaotic world of 'competing for snobbery'? 'One general succeeds and ten thousand bones die'...I, Sima of Yin State The only way to repay these innocent soldiers and civilians who have been 'sacrificed' is by ending this troubled world!" Sima Yi sighed. Finally, he turned around and ordered to Niu Jin with a solemn expression: "Smash that 'rhinoceros horn bottle', grind it into powder, and throw it into all the water supply canals of our army's water and land battalions. It's here! It's time to really cut off the 'root' of the epidemic in the military..."
