In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are many people who can't do it, but they are very famous, such as the general Pan Feng, the general Xing Daorong, situ Wang Lang, and the jiang gan who pit Cao Cao after being used by Zhou Yu!
But this is not the case in real history, what is the truth? Hello everyone, here is Mo Lijun, Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is one of the four famous works in China, but a rendition, not a history, many of which are written by Luo Guanzhong according to his own wishes, and the Battle of Chibi has added a lot of fictional components, of which Jiang Gan's pirated book is one of them.
First look at how Jiang Gan was used by Zhou Yu in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the two armies of the north and south confronted each other by the river, Cao Cao actually wanted to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, at this time Zhou Yu was already the great steward of Eastern Wu, to persuade him to surrender is not to humiliate himself, so this task fell on Zhou Yu's friend Jiang Gan, Jiang Gan crossed the river to meet Zhou Yu, But Zhou Yu had other plans, he wanted to make a plan, using Jiang Gan to make Cao Cao suspicious of the water division general Cai Mao.
So zhou Yu pretended to be drunk at the group meeting and gave Jiang Gan the opportunity to do it, and Jiang Gan stole the secret letter written by Cai Mao to Zhou Yu. Jiang Gan did not resign, Zhou Yu sent a general to pursue and kill but was escaped by Jiang Gan, Cao Cao learned of Jiang Gan's energy and was convinced of this matter, and immediately killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, Cao Cao had an epiphany about his own plan, and Jiang Gan thought that he had made a great contribution, and bragged everywhere.
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Jiang Gan is described like this: "There is a groom, with the ability to argue that between the Jiang and Huai, Mo and the opposite", these are all words of praise for Jiang Gan, roughly meaning that Jiang Gan's behavior and appearance are very good, the most skilled is "talent debate", in Jianghuai and Huaibei, there is no one who can overcome him, it can be seen that Jiang Gan is very talented, Jianghuai has many scholars, and Jiang Gan is the head of Jianghuai talents, and Cao Cao also loves his talent very much.
It is true that Cao Cao wanted to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, but Jiang Gan and Zhou Yu were not small relations, they were both famous people in Jianghuai, because Jiang Gan was good at argument, so Cao Cao asked Jiang Gan to cross the river to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender.
Zhou Yu, the talent of Jiang Gan, must have heard of it, so Zhou Yu personally went to the riverside to greet Jiang Gan, and Zhou Yu could probably guess the purpose of Jiang Gan's visit this time, in order to express his position and not embarrass Jiang Gan, so he immediately said: "Ziyi is good and bitter, and he travels far into the rivers and lakes to be a lobbyist for the Cao clan. ”
In the face of Zhou Yu saying this, Jiang Gan was not frightened, but also expressed his opinion, Jiang Gan said: "Hearing fang lie from afar, so I came to Tell The Broad, and observed the ya rules, and the Cloud Lobbyist, is nothing to be deceitful? Jiang Gan said that he had heard about Zhou Yu's talent very early, and this time he got the opportunity to meet with Zhou Yu and wanted to see Zhou Yu's true talent and practical learning, and Zhou Yu misunderstood himself.
From here, Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan are both smart people, Zhou Yu blocked Jiang Gan's mouth as soon as they met, and Jiang Gan knew that words could not move Zhou Yu and immediately changed his words, the two of them really put down their tasks after explaining, Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan talked loudly, and invited Jiang Gan to visit the military facilities of Eastern Wu, the beautiful scenery of Eastern Wu and Eastern Wu, on the occasion of parting, Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan were reluctant to give up, Zhou Yu said: "The Lord of Eastern Wu entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, this is my homeland, how majestic the soldiers are, ah, You see how beautiful this scenery is, how can we abandon our ambitions and homes!" In the face of these words, Jiang Gan smiled and said nothing, but he was also impressed by Zhou Yu's virtue.
After returning to Cao's camp, Jiang Gan told Cao Cao the whole process, and Cao Cao not only did not blame Jiang Gan, but also appreciated Zhou Yu's talent even more.
In real history, although Jiang Gan is a celebrity, he is a small role, and no one may remember him, but in Luo Guanzhong's book, he has become a household name, but the price is to be ugly, to become a clown.
In the long river of history, there are many versions, but the only constant is that the little people are making way for the big people, and the stupidity of the small people is to set off the talents of the big people, and Jiang Gan is one of them.
