Xin Ping snorted and answered disdainfully.

"Don't believe it?" Jiang Gan laughed and raised his glass. "It's okay, drink and wait and see."

Xin Ping also picked up the wine glass, signaled Jiang Gan, and drank a glass.

Jiang Gan drank it all, wiped his mouth, and then talked about Ru Ying's situation, and never mentioned a word of war again. Although Xin Ping wanted to ask, he did not want to lose his momentum, so he had to resist and deliberately acted indifferently, and talked and laughed with Jiang Gan.

Halfway through the wine, Jiang Gan stopped drinking, waved his hand, and said drunk, "I want to sleep drunk, please go, please don't send me off." After that, he stood up without waiting for Xin Ping to speak. Two maids came up to welcome him, one supported Jiang Gan into the room, and the other gave Xin Ping a gift. There was a slight smile on his face and a calmness that was common.

Xin Ping left the inn and was a little confused about what happened this day.

He suspected that Jiang Gan was trying to get and wanted to sway his appetite, but he couldn't help feeling uneasy. Although there were still a few months before the autumn harvest, there were many things to prepare for in the war. If the Wu Kingdom didn't want to talk at all and was determined to start the war, it was not impossible.

Before Jiang Gan came to Dangqu, he stayed in Bameng Mountain for several days and met Xu Huang. Perhaps he felt that the strength of the Shu army was not as strong as the Wu army, so he was sure to win?

Xin Ping thought more and more. Overall, the Wu army knew more about the Shu army, and the Shu army had limited knowledge of the Wu army, especially the most elite central army. In order to deal with Huang Zhong, the Shu army had already all out and tried its best, while Huang Zhong's troops were just an ordinary part of the Wu army.

Huang Zhong was not even the Grand Governor.

From this point of view, the strength of the two sides is too far different. The Shu army can only rely on the dangers of mountains and rivers, and there is no chance of winning when the frontal battle is fought. As for military tactics, the victory or defeat has been determined, and the difference is only when it is determined.

Xin Ping thought about it all the way, returned to the central army, and reported to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao waited for a day, but after such a result, he was in a heavy mood. He asked Xin Ping to wait for two days before going there to see if Jiang Gan was really calm or playing psychological tactics. At the same time, he ordered people to strictly control the post house and prevent Jiang Gan from contacting others.

A few days later, Xin Ping came to the inn again.

After entering the door, he called the postmaster and asked about Jiang Gan's situation. The postmaster said that Jiang Gan was still the same. He slept until noon every day, read books and drank in the afternoon. The same was true for his servants. He came to the front yard except for what he needed, and did not show up at all. However, the two maids went out to buy things in the market, but later stopped. When they heard their tone, they seemed to think that the market in Dangqu was too small and there was nothing to buy.

Xin Ping was speechless.

After lunch, Xin Ping did not report it, so she went straight to the backyard. She saw Jiang Gan sitting in the hall, leaning on the pedestal table, a maid pounding his shoulders, and the other holding a book to recite. Seeing Xin Ping come in, Jiang Gan sat up but didn't speak, but his face was a little impatient.

Xin Ping smiled and said, "Jiang Ziyi, isn't it too rude for you to do this?"

Jiang Gan snorted: "I didn't invite you."

Xin Ping waved his hand and refused to argue with Jiang Gan. He sat down opposite Jiang Gan, looked up and down at Jiang Gan, and then looked at the two maids. "I heard that your wife is the daughter of Dong's family in Lintao. Are you merciful everywhere, aren't you afraid that the wife will get angry?"

Jiang Gan smiled. "My wife has official duties and has no time to take care of my daily life. These two maids were selected by her personally, so why are you angry?"

"I heard a lot of women from Wu State who joined the army and entered the army for a long time. It seems that it is not a false statement. Mrs. Xian is so busy, she must be a talent."

"Of course." Jiang Gan slowed down his face and ordered someone to give him tea. "Speaking of this, your daughter Xin Xianying is a real talent. With such a daughter, your younger brother Xin Zhuozhi has no worries in his life. I can't say that you, an uncle, can also benefit from some wealth."

Xin Ping's heart moved. "I heard you say that, no matter whether I fight or not, I will not have any worries about my life?"

"Your Majesty is not a person who likes to kill. Even if you attack Yizhou and get hurt, you will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Just kill a few culprits." He glanced at Xin Ping and laughed silently. "You can be relieved."

Xin Ping was amused and crying. Jiang Gan clearly said that he was insignificant and Sun Ce would not pay attention to him at all. He pretended not to understand and instead grabbed Jiang Gan's topic. "So, you also know that Yizhou is not easy to obtain, and there will be major casualties?"

Jiang Gan thought for a moment. "Sigu in Yizhou, casualties are inevitable. It is hard to say how big it is. It depends on the specific situation of the battle." He then smiled again. "With the Battle of Bamengshan in front, we are still confident."

Xin Ping suddenly blushed and became angry. "I'm afraid everyone has Xu Huang's luck."

"Of course, there is only one Shu king in Shu." Jiang Gan laughed. He raised his hand and interrupted Xin's comment who was still trying to argue. "Xin Zhongzhi, it's useless to say more, and you will know it. Since you are here, you might as well drink. Last time, the condition was not good, so you would laugh. Today we will have another drink and we will divide the difference."

Xin Ping thought about it and felt that the argument was useless, but it was just a humiliation. He ordered people to find the postmaster to prepare food and drink, and continue to chat with Jiang Gan. As long as he did not talk about official duties, Jiang Gan was very casual. When it came to official duties, he either laughed but refused to answer or talked randomly. Xin Ping was so dry that he could not find any useful information. In the end, Jiang Gan got drunk and sent him back.

The next morning, Cao Cao received Xin Ping's return and sent someone to the post house to invite Jiang Gan to meet him, and officially welcomed Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan didn't come and replied to Cao Cao, saying that he had drunk too much yesterday and was in a bad state. I'll talk about it tomorrow.

Cao Cao smiled bitterly. He said to Xin that if you have a king, you will have a minister. Sun Ce is a person who is not particular about the details. It is not surprising that Jiang Gan is like this, but thank you for your hard work.

Jiang Gan shook his sleeves, took a square step, climbed up the steps, took off his shoes, and walked slowly into the hall.

Cao Cao sat in the middle, holding the desk with both hands, and looking at Jiang Gan with a smile, but did not invite Jiang Gan to take his seat.

The civil and military men on both sides sat upright, lowered their eyebrows and looked at each other, as if they didn't see Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan continued to walk forward, walking to Cao Cao, bent down and looked down at Cao Cao. He was tall, and if Cao Cao wanted to look at his face, he had to raise his head until his neck was almost folded to a right angle and his body leaned back.

Seeing this, Peng Yi, who was standing by, reached out and waved. The two men holding the halberds once reached out and grabbed Jiang Gan's shoulder, and were about to press Jiang Gan down. Jiang Gan did not move, stared at Cao Cao with a smile on his face.

"Which child does the king want to exchange for my life? Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, or Cao Zhi?"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand, and waved it gently. Seeing this, he let go of his hand timidly and retreated.

Jiang Gan's smile became even stronger. He reached out and dusted the position where the Jilang had just grabbed, turned around and looked at the civil and military officials on both sides. His eyes swept across the faces of Cao Hong, Xin Ping, Feng Luan and others one by one, curled his lips and bowed to salute.

"The Great Wu Da Honglu, Jiang Gan of Jiujiang, thank you for your 200,000 soldiers of the Great Wu on behalf of my Great Wu. All their military achievements are entrusted to you at your head. It is not easy to make contributions. I hope you will take care of yourself and do not have any surprises."

Cao Xiu slapped the table, pulled out half of the long sword with a "slam", shouted sternly: "The head is here, you can come here to see who cuts whom."

Jiang Gan looked at Cao Xiu and raised his chin. "Who is the one under his feet?"

"Cao Xiu, Cao Wenlie."

Jiang Gan pondered for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know you. Seeing you so powerful, I thought it was Cao Chun." He then slapped his forehead. "Sorry, I forgot, Cao Chun had already died in battle."

"You..." Cao Xiu was furious, stood up, drew out his long sword, and was about to rush over to chop Jiang Gan.

Cao Cao hurriedly stopped. "Wen Lie, don't be rude! The two countries are fighting each other and the envoys will not be executed. The famous scholars of Jiang Ziyi, the country of Wu, have always been like this, not targeting you alone."

Cao Xiu snorted disdainfully: "What a famous scholar in Wu, but he was just a crazy person. Do you really think that three-inch tongue can be a million soldiers?" He even put his sword in the sheath and sat down again, but no longer looked at Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan laughed to the sky, his laughter was bright, and there was a faint sound of gold and jade, which made everyone's ears buzz. Cao Xiu was so angry that his face turned pale. He was about to ejaculate, but Cao Cao reached out to stop him. Cao Cao's eyes flashed, he stroked his beard, and looked at Jiang Gan with a smile.

Jiang Gan suddenly stopped laughing and glanced at Cao Xiu. "One thing, you are right. The tongue is the tongue. You can't take soldiers, let alone a million, or ten thousand. Otherwise, how can you sit here? Xu Gongming's command has only a thousand people, so he has killed you so much that you can't get out of your arms and armor. You can't advance or retreat. If there are ten thousand soldiers, I'm afraid you will be captured. Cao Wenlie, how many people have you beheaded in the Battle of Babian Mountain? Are you the commander of the Central Army cavalry? I heard that Wu and Shu were fighting, and the Shu army had dispatched the Central Army cavalry to fight with my Great Wu infantry, but they did not take any advantage."

Cao Xiu's face was burning and he felt ashamed.

Jiang Gan turned his head and ignored Cao Xiu. He looked at Cao Cao and smiled slightly. "The king must think I am here to negotiate."

Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Isn't it?"

Jiang Gan smiled. "Of course not. As the saying goes, thousands of people are pointing to it, but they will die without success. I don't want to be scolded by the 200,000 elite troops pointing at the back and forth. The world is determined, and Yizhou is the last battlefield. They all point to your heads to make meritorious contributions. How can I allow me to negotiate? I dare to teach the king to learn that I am not here to negotiate, I am here to issue a letter of war and declare war."

"Declare war?" Cao Cao's eyebrows trembled slightly, his face was still smiling, but he was a little reluctant.

"That's right." Jiang Gan walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. "In the second year of Chuping, His Majesty, the Emperor of Great Wu, left Shucheng, Lujiang, first fought in Xiangyang, chased Liu Biao, killed Xiahou Yuan, and then fought in Nanyang. The king ran away, and Xu Rong rode alone. In the following years, he fought in the Central Plains, crossed Hebei, killed Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and forced Yuan Tan and Gongsun Du to surrender. He was invincible and invincible. As for today's unfairness, the only one in Yizhou."
