Jiang Gan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yu again and laughed. "Gongjin, I understand, I understand."

"What do you know?"

"I know why you surrender to him." Jiang Gan patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, walked to Sun Ce, sat down, leaned on the table, and stretched out his hand. "Take it."

"What do you take?"

"The seal of the messenger? You can't let me speak vernacularly, right? Zhang Yi is unobstructed and far superior to Su Qin, not because his eloquence is better than Su Qin, but because he has the King of Qin and the tiger and wolf army of Qin behind him. Now the general's strength cannot be compared with the King of Qin, so he must give me a token to prove who the messenger I am. The seal of the Changsha Prefect of Lingzun is in your hands?"

Sun Ce stared at Jiang Gan for a moment, put away his long knife, and smiled slightly. "Please give me half a month, and I will send someone to pick it up immediately."

Jiang Gan shook his head. "I won't bother the second master in one thing. It's okay anyway. I'll go there myself."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing out loud. Jiang Gan was interesting. Not only was he smart, but he was cheerful and even more casual than Zhou Yu, but he was somewhat similar to Guo Jia. He did not leave any reputation in history, which may have something to do with his personality. A genius is neither serious nor serious, and his personality is not tied to a humble gentleman. It is unlikely that those famous scholars can look down on him.

"Where is Ziyi from Jiujiang?"

"Jiujiang Shou County. However, my hometown is not far from here, so is Jiang Guo."

Sun Ce was confused. Jiang Guo? Haven't heard of it before. Zhou Yu coughed: "General, Runan Qisi County is the former Jiang Guo, and it is the fief of Boling, the third son of Duke Ji Dan of Zhou. Later generations regard the country as their clan. In the battle of Chengpu of Jin and Chu, the Chu army was defeated. King Cheng of Chu was so angry that he led his troops eastward to sweep away the countries. Jiang Guo was thus destroyed, and his descendants were scattered between Huai and Si."

Sun Ce gave a thumbs up. "It turns out that Ziyi is still a descendant of Duke Zhou, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful."

Jiang Gan laughed loudly. "Gan has no great ambitions in his life, and he is willing to become a marquis of his hometown. Can the general make me what I want?"

"Ziyi's ambition is expected and thoughtful, and work hard!"

Jiang Gan stood up and shook his sleeves. "Since that's the case, Gan waited for the general's order and could set off at any time." After saying that, he bowed to Guo Jia and Zhou Yu, and walked away. He could still hear him chanting loudly from afar. "There is a fish in the North Sea, whose name is Kun. Kun is so big that it is not known how many thousands of miles it is. It turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. Peng's back is not known how many thousands of miles it is. It flies in anger, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. This is a bird, and the sea will move to the south. The south is Tianchi..."

Zhou Yu was very embarrassed, but Guo Jia smiled and said, "It seems that Gongjin is not very familiar with Jiang Ziyi. He only knows that he is a tyrant, but he doesn't know that he is so lucky to Lao Zhuang, pretending to be crazy and avoiding the world, and he has the tendency to follow the chariot. Such people do not know the wonders of this kind. Gongjin can be friends with him, but he cannot be a minister. Only the general can do his best."

Zhou Yu heard the sound of the string and knew the elegant meaning, so he immediately bowed and bowed. "What Brother Xiao said is very true."

Sun Ce sighed secretly. No matter how much they can talk about it, the reputation of the king and the ministers will always be preferred over the friend. Guo Jia had this string in his mind, and Zhou Yu did not forget it. The heights are so cold that he could become kings and dominate the world, and he had to accept the loneliness of the lonely family. Don’t expect to call friends like ordinary people and be heart-to-heart.

After being interrupted by Jiang Gan, the atmosphere of intimacy changed slightly. Seeing this, Sun Ce took the initiative to bring the topic back to the main business. He decided to go to Pingchun and wait for an opportunity to seize the third pass. Although the third pass returned to Jiangxia in administrative divisions, it was closer to Runan in terms of geographical direction. With the Yellow Turban General Wu Ba, it was not that difficult to seize the third pass. After controlling the third pass, Zhou Yu immediately returned to Nanyang to prepare for the war in Nanjun.

Zhou Yu and Guo Jia agreed with Sun Ce's plan. Zhou Yu also made suggestions that Sun Ce did not have to rush to attack the three passes, but could recruit soldiers from other counties, including Lujiang and Jiujiang, to participate in the battle, to form an advantage in military strength, and take the opportunity to select elite soldiers and generals from them. There are many barbarians in the county soldiers of Lujiang and Jiujiang, and they have strong combat power. If these two counties can be controlled in their hands, it will be beneficial to attack Jiangxia in the autumn.

Sun Ce accepted them one by one. He asked Zhou Yu to find Jiang Gan. It was rare to have a good eloquence, so he could not be idle, and he should give full play to his role. Pre-war lobbying was not only a public opinion and psychological offensive, but also an opportunity to collect intelligence. Before going to Changsha, he needed Jiang Gan to meet Li Tong first and then go to Jiangxia. If Jiang Gan could convince Li Tong or Liu Xun with his perfect tongue, it would be great. Even if he couldn't, he could stabilize them and buy time.

Zhou Yu agreed. As soon as the meeting ended, he found Jiang Gan. Jiang Gan happily agreed and set off excitedly.

——

When he learned that Sun Ce had arrived in Langling, the Yellow Turban General Wu Ba came to pay his respects immediately.

Wu Ba was in his fifties and was quite strong, but his temples were white. Like Liu Pi and Gong Du, he was originally a small landlord with a good family background, and food and clothing were not a problem. However, people's hearts were not enough, so he wanted to go further and go from wealth to honor, so he accepted the trick of Taipingdao and became the commander of the Yellow Turban Army. As a result, he did not become a founding hero, but became a bandit. Several relatives died in the war and could not even look back.

He now has more than 6,000 households and more than 20,000 people, but most of them are old and weak, and his combat effectiveness is limited. He was originally stationed in the depths of the Dabie Mountains. Although the mountains are safe, life is too hard. I heard that Sun Ce recruited Yellow Turban farms in Nanyang, so he also wanted to go to Nanyang. When he passed by Pingchun, he was intercepted by Li Tong. When he was anxious, he accidentally learned that Sun Ce was in Runan and was recruiting soldiers in Pingyu, and immediately sent someone to contact him.

After listening to Wu Ba's self-report, Sun Ce knew that this was a person who was too ordinary to be more ordinary and was not suitable for rebellion. Even in terms of the average level of the Yellow Turban Generals, Wu Ba was a middle-aged and inferior. This is no wonder. As a small landlord, he still had some experience in farming, but he was blinded by the general trend of the world, and he knew nothing about marching and fighting. He was a standard mob.

It was simply whimsical that Zhang Jiao wanted to change the dynasty with these people.

Sun Ce spoke very politely and promised to arrange Wu Ba and his subordinates to go to Nanjun to farm. The treatment was comparable to Liu Pi and Gong Du, but hesitated to do things. He wanted to pick out elite troops from Wu Ba's more than 20,000 people to enrich his subordinates, and keep all the rest for farming. He was originally a farmer, and letting them fight was purely to drive the ducks on the shelves.

Wu Ba was beaten up by Li Tong. Now he just wants to live a stable life and agree to Sun Ce’s requests one by one.

After everything was discussed, Sun Ce said to Wu Ba: "Who is Li Tong? Tell me."
