Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 383 Mr. Qiao Guo of Lujiang

Sun Jian handed over Yuan Shu's head to Cao Ang, as well as the forged Emperor's Sword, Emperor's Seal and many other things.

Cao Ang was stunned. He didn't expect that Yuan Shu escaped from his hands, but died in the hands of Sun Jian.

Originally, Cao Ang thought that after Yuan Shu escaped, he would go south to recruit his old troops and prepare for a comeback.

At that time, Cao Ang didn't care. After all, the four counties in Jiangdong were all assigned to you, Sun Jian. If there is a rebellion, it is because of your inability to manage it. Naturally, you have to judge the rebellion yourself.

As a result, Yuan Shu was directly caught by Sun Jian.

Now Yuan Shu's power has completely fallen apart. How much Sun Jian can control depends entirely on his ability.

"General Sun, you have really made a great contribution now. I believe that if I report to Your Majesty to make you the governor of Yangzhou, no one will stop you."

Previously, Cao Ang promised to make Sun Jian the governor of Yangzhou and command the four counties in Jiangdong. This was to eliminate the pressure from the aristocratic families in the court.

After all, this is a feudal official. Isn't that family jealous?
And now, Sun Jian has meritorious service in killing Yuan Shu, so why not make him the governor of Yangzhou?
After hearing what Cao Ang said, Sun Jian knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, Major General, for your appreciation!"

Cao Ang smiled and waved his hand, and helped Sun Jian up: "Thank you, you deserve it, but Liu Bei and Lu Bu of Wu County, Cai Mao of Yuzhang, and Yuan Shu's remaining men in Yangzhou are all It’s up to you to handle it yourself.”

Sun Jian nodded when he heard this. He knew that Yuan Shao from the north was coming, and most of the troops around Cao Ang were transferred to the north to support Cao Cao.

As for helping Sun Jian pacify the four counties in Jiangdong, I'm sorry, I don't have that time.

Cao Ang still needs to worry about the disposal of Lujiang County and Jiujiang County now, let alone the remaining places.

In fact, even if Cao Ang wanted to help Sun Jian, Sun Jian would refuse. After the lost land was recovered by Cao Ang, what would happen if he didn't return it?
Therefore, even if it takes a lot of effort, Sun Jian will lead the Jiangdong Army to clean up the four counties of Jiangdong.

……

After sending Sun Jian away, Cheng Yu came again.

"Major General, if Sun Jian is gone, let Chen Dao and his men catch up and kill him. Anyway, if he dies outside Shouchun City, it has nothing to do with us."

Cao Ang couldn't help but feel dizzy after listening to Cheng Yu's words. What did Sun Jian do? Do you have to kill him?
Cheng Yu and Sun Jian don't have any grudges, right?
After thinking about it, Cao Ang couldn't help but ask: "Do you know Sun Jian's wife?"

Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head: "I don't know you. Why do you ask, General?"

"Since there is no hatred for taking away your wife, why do you have to kill people?" Cao Ang couldn't help but hold his forehead. He knew that Cheng Yu's father was still alive and well, so the hatred for killing his father was impossible. of.

Now that there is no hatred for seizing his wife, why does Cheng Yu insist on killing Sun Jian?

"Major General, stop joking with me. As long as Sun Jian is killed, the six counties of Yangzhou will be under our control. With the ability of the Major General, it won't take long for the money and food here to be converted into soldiers!"

"At that time, the Major General has the support of Yangzhou's money and food, and it will be just around the corner to wipe out all the princes in the world!"

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Cheng Yu's idea, but the process will be very tortuous.

After killing Sun Jian and occupying the entire Yangzhou, he will have to face all the remaining princes in the world.

When the time comes for the war to begin across the board, Cao Ang is confident of winning.

But after winning the battle, he got a broken dynasty, which Cao Ang didn't want to see.

Thinking of this, Cao Ang couldn't help but explain: "Zhongde, if we really occupy the entire Yangzhou, what do you want Tao Qian and Liu Bei to think? After all, they captured Wu Commandery, killed Ji Ling, and conquered Yuan Shu. Meritorious service!"

"Let's talk about Liu Biao. Although this guy was defeated by Sun Jian in the first battle, the centipede insect is dead and not stiff. What's more, the remnants of Cai Hao and Yuan Shu are still facing each other in the south." "Let Sun Jian take over as the governor of Yangzhou. , he will definitely take back Wu Commandery and drive Cai Mao out. By then, Sun Jian will have conflicts with Liu Biao and Tao Qian."

"The better the three of them fight here, the more time I will have. When I take care of Yuan Shao, Xiliang, and Gongsun Zan one by one, they will be almost ready to fight here."

"When that time comes, I can just find any reason and kill the three of them one by one."

After listening to Cao Ang's words, Cheng Yu suddenly became enlightened. He thought that Cao Ang was now leading troops to fight, and he didn't like to see heavy casualties on his side.

Just like the attack on Shouchun, when Cao Ang first came, after some corrections, he could forcefully attack the city.

In that case, even if Sun Jian leads Jiang Dongjun here, he can't hold it.

But in this way, Cao Ang will suffer heavy losses!

At least half of this 30-strong army will be lost, which Cao Ang does not want to see.

For Cao Ang, money and food are secondary, and living strength is the most important.

After waiting for Cao Ang to finish the war and dominate the world, he found that there was not much population left, so what a waste of time.

After Cheng Yu figured it out, he nodded: "It turns out that the young general doesn't want to see too many sacrifices. The young general is so righteous that Zhongde admires him!"

Cao Ang was relieved when he saw that Cheng Yu finally stopped trying to persuade him to kill Sun Jian.

If Cheng Yu suggested that he kill Sun Jian all day long, he would really be in trouble.

……

On the other side, outside Shouchun City, Chen Dao was training soldiers.

Cao Ang stood on the city wall and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, there are specialties in martial arts, and Chen Shuzhi is training soldiers. I am very relieved!"

After Chen Dao followed Cao Ang, he showed great talent in military training.

Cao Ang was also very satisfied with this, and he directly handed over the defense of Shouchun City to Chen Dao.

When Chen Dao saw Cao Ang trusting him so much, he was grateful and vowed not to betray Cao Ang.

The next thing Cao Ang has to do is to deal with the appointment and removal of official positions in Lujiang and Jiujiang counties.

After all, the officials appointed by Yuan Shu before were all rebels, and even if they surrendered, they would not be used again.

As a result, Cao Ang could only talk to the local aristocratic family.

"Zhongde, are there any highly respected people in Lujiang and Jiujiang counties?"

After thinking for a while, Cheng Yu said, "Elder Qiao Guo of Lujiang is a well-known and respected person in the local area."

When Cao Ang heard this, he couldn't help but slap his forehead, wondering why he had forgotten Qiao Guolao.

Even if you forget Qiao Guolao, you can't forget Er Qiao!
sin sin!

Cao Ang complained about himself in his heart, and then asked Cheng Yu to prepare gifts. He was going to visit Qiao Guolao.
