Three Kingdoms: Do you want me to get out of here? Liu Bei, you wait

Chapter 75: Banquet of Heroes, the secret letter brought by Jiang Gan, and Cao Cao filled with murderous intent!

"What are you talking about, Gongjin? I miss you so much after not seeing you for so long that I came here to talk about the past. How can you start talking like a lobbyist?"

"If Gongjin doesn't welcome Gan, Gan will leave."

Jiang Gan pretended to be stupid.

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves in mock anger.

Zhou Yu naturally laughed when he saw it, and immediately stepped forward to confess his crime.

"Hahaha, Brother Ziyi, Gongjin was just joking, please don't take it as an offense."

"Come on, pass the order down!"

"Order all the generals to receive me in the big tent. I want to welcome my old friend!"

"This is a Dongwu family banquet. Anyone outside the family will be expelled!"

At this moment, he turned around and gave instructions to everyone, and at the same time, he saw Zhuge Liang anxiously peeking out from behind.

Feeling unhappy.

A new rule was temporarily added to this "banquet for heroes".

Zhuge Liang listened.

I sighed in my heart.

I felt depressed, but also helpless.

The Eastern Wu soldiers gathered around after receiving the order.

All you can do is bow and evacuate first.

As for Jiang Gan and Jiang Ziyi, they did not notice anything unusual during the whole process.

At this moment, I am amazed at the strong military strength of the Eastern Wu.

……

The next morning.

The sun has just risen.

Cao Cao was forcibly pulled up from the bed.

After arriving at the hall, he was full of anger, but after seeing that it was Jiang Gan, his expression improved a little.

Then he asked excitedly.

"Ziyi returned at night, but what good news did he bring? Did he convince Zhou Gongjin?"

"My Lord, no." Jiang Gan clasped his fists and said with some regret, "Zhou Yu is a man of high character and no words can move him."

"Is that so? Then Mr. Su was right again?" Cao Cao was naturally disappointed when he saw this.

"Mr. Su?"

Jiang Gan was stunned and asked curiously, "Who is this Mr. Su that the lord is talking about..."

"nothing."

"If this mission fails, I'm afraid that Dongwu will laugh at me again. This time, Ziyi will return empty-handed."

Cao Cao waved his hands, obviously unwilling to say more, and there was still a hint of displeasure in his words at the end.

As a person who cares a lot about his reputation, Cao Cao naturally found this result very difficult to accept.

He waved his hand, letting Jiang Gan leave.

Seeing this, Jiang Gan hurriedly said.

"No, my lord."

"Although I failed to persuade Jiangdong to surrender this time, I did discover something extraordinary..."

"Oh? What is that?" Cao Cao looked up and asked.

"Prime Minister..."

Jiang Gan stopped and did not answer.

He just glanced left and right, and the meaning was self-evident.

Seeing his behavior, Cao Cao regained some spirit.

He waved his hand to push away the people around him.

He also sent someone to call Xu Chu.

He patted Xu Chu on the shoulder and said,
"Tiger Chi doesn't need to retreat."

"Ziyi, you know the relationship between Zhongkang and me."

"understand."

"Although I failed to persuade Zhou Yu today, I stole a secret letter from him. The contents of the letter are shocking, so I am here to present it to you, my lord, and ask you to make your decision."

Jiang Gan nodded and reached into his arms as he spoke.

Only then did he retrieve the secret letter stolen from Soochow.

It was solemnly presented to Cao Cao.

“Appalling?”

After hearing what Jiang Gan said, I looked at the secret letter.

Cao Cao also became excited.

He stepped forward, took the envelope, opened it and examined it carefully.

I haven't even taken a second look at this.

Cao Cao frowned.

Even the hand holding the letter began to tremble slightly.

This secret letter was forged by Zhou Yu.

Written in the voices of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

Saying that the troops were training day and night during this period was just an excuse to confuse Cao Cao.

Its real purpose was, on the one hand, to slow down Cao Cao's march.

On the other hand, it was to paralyze Cao Cao and gain his trust so that he could take action five days later, directly cut off his head and present it to the Eastern Wu.

What he said was so convincing and full of evidence.

Cao Cao was a suspicious person by nature. He had just gotten up suddenly and was still dizzy, not fully awake.

Seeing the letter at this moment, he was naturally furious. He looked up suddenly and asked Jiang Gan again.

"The contents of this letter...are you serious, Ziyi?"

"Absolutely true!"

"After getting drunk last night, Zhou Gongjin was still bragging to me in my dream. He said that within five days, he would definitely take Cao Gong's head!"

"Ziyi took the risk and returned under the stars! His loyalty is evident to all!"

Jiang Gan knelt on the ground and spoke with certainty.

Seeing him like this, Cao Cao naturally believed it most of the time. He said three good words in a row and sneered.

"Good, good Zhang Yun! Good Cai Mao!"

"I really didn't expect that these two thieves would be so despicable."

"I trusted you so much, but you actually did such a thing to betray me!"

"Please make a decision as soon as possible, Prime Minister. Otherwise, things may change if we take too long!" Jiang Gan urged.

Cao Cao naturally agreed with this.

He immediately stood up and gave orders outside.

"Somebody come!"

"Quickly call Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to come here to see me!"

Half an hour later.

Generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun hurried over in neatly-armed uniforms.

"Prime Minister!"

"I wonder what the Prime Minister summoned me for this morning?"

The two men knelt down and greeted each other.

Naturally, Cao Cao would not completely believe what Jiang Gan said.

Hearing this, he paced back and forth, looking between the two of them.

After a long while, he finally spoke, and suddenly said, "I want you to send troops to Sanjiangkou immediately to fight Zhou Yu. What do you think?"

"Ah? Now?!"

Both of them were shocked when they heard this.

After coming back to their senses, they looked at each other and spoke up to stop him without thinking.

"No, Prime Minister."

"That's right. The Jingzhou navy hasn't been trained for a long time. The Qingzhou troops under the Prime Minister are from the north and are not familiar with water. A rash attack will only do more harm than good!"

Cao Cao interrupted directly and said coldly, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. If I insist on sending troops immediately, how long will it take for you to be ready?"

"This..." Cai Mao was silent.

"It will take at least five days to gather the troops, but..."

They both really mean it.

However, they didn't know that Cao Cao on the opposite side had already made a preconceived idea.

It would be better if the two of them didn't say this at this moment.

The more I hear them say this.

From Cao Cao's point of view, this only proved that they were buying time for the Eastern Wu.

Especially what Zhang Yun said, five days at the earliest.

When Cao Cao heard this, it was like a confirmed fact.

When he looked up again, he gritted his teeth and spoke in hatred.

"Great! This is a good one that has no benefit but only harm. It's a good one that can be done in five days at the earliest..."

"If I wait any longer, I'm afraid you two will have to offer my head to Zhou Yu in five days, right?"

"Ah? Why do you say that, Prime Minister?"

Cai Mao and the other man on the opposite side were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Before I could even start to argue.

Cao Cao was already there, waving his hand again.

"Don't say too much!"

"Push them out quickly and behead them!"

The subordinate soldiers immediately stepped forward, captured the two men on the spot, and tied them up.

"It's unfair, Prime Minister, it's unfair..."

Cai Mao and the other man finally came to their senses and cried out that they were wronged.

"Unjust? The evidence is irrefutable, and you still have the nerve to say it's unjust?!"

"Behead it!"

"Push them all out and behead them!"

"No one is allowed to plead for these two bastards!"

The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.

Although Cao Cao was not the emperor, he had the potential to be one.

Angry at the moment.

The rest of the people don't even need to ask for mercy.

I didn't even dare to breathe.

After a long silence.

It was Xu Chu who spoke first and broke the silence.

"Wait a minute, my lord..."
