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

Chapter 388 Sun Jian complained and accepted the surrender.

While Sun Ce was talking to Jiang Qin, Sun Jian also came over.

"Bo Fu, I'll leave Yuzhang to you first. My father is going to Kuaiji to sort out the soldiers there and send them to Cao Ang."

When Sun Ce heard this, he was a little unhappy: "Father, these surrendered soldiers have surrendered to us, how can they be given to Cao Ang?"

In fact, it was not only Sun Ce who was unhappy, but Sun Jian was also unhappy.

But there was no way. Logically speaking, these soldiers were rebels and were to be handed over to the court for trial. Therefore, there was no problem for Cao Ang to accept these surrendered soldiers.

Sun Jian handed the appointment and dismissal letter from the imperial court to Sun Ce, and then explained: "These people are all surrendered soldiers after all. Cao Ang accepts them on behalf of the imperial court. There is no problem."

"What's more, I haven't secured the position of governor in Yangzhou yet. If we keep raising these subordinates, it will be a huge burden for us."

When Sun Ce heard this, he frowned. He knew that after a family has a big business, raising an army is also a huge burden.

So he no longer objected to handing over the surrendered pawns: "Father, I don't object to handing over the surrendered pawns, but we can't hand them over in full, we have to keep some!"

"I know, so I have to go there personally for this matter! The only soldiers we can hand over to Cao Ang are those from Kuaiji County. We won't hand over the others."

After Sun Jian and Sun Ce gave a few brief instructions, they left Yuzhang City.

As for Sun Ce, he stayed here and continued to confront Cai Mao and Huang Zhong.

After Sun Jian arrived in Kuaiji, he began to recruit surrendered soldiers, and then placed his own men in various counties to strengthen his rule over Kuaiji County.

People like Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai and others were all arranged by Sun Jian.

The only one left in Kuaiji was Zhang Zhao, who helped Sun Jian handle political affairs.

Zhang Zhao is new to join Sun Jian. After all, the local aristocratic families in Yangzhou still need to have a good relationship with the Yangzhou governor.

As for Sun Jian himself, he took [-] surrendered soldiers and went north to find Cao Ang.

After running all the way to Shouchun, Sun Jian found Cao Ang.

"Major General, you are safe and sound!"

Cao Ang also greeted Sun Jian: "Prince Sun, it's been a long time!"

He knew that the appointment letter from the imperial court had been sent out, so the title was also changed.

When Sun Jian heard this, he waved his hands in embarrassment: "Young General, please stop laughing at me. I, the governor of Yangzhou, am not worthy of my name!"

Cao Ang naturally knew what Sun Jian meant. There were originally six counties in Yangzhou. In exchange for benefits, he took away two counties in Huainan and promised Sun Jian only four counties.

But among these four counties, Wu County was captured by Tao Qian and Liu Bei and is now controlled by them. A large part of the northern part of Danyang County is now occupied by Lu Bu.

To the south, there was also the Jingzhou Army led by Cai Mao, confronting it in the Luling area.

It can be said that the chassis actually controlled by Sun Jian is not very large.

After all, most of Kuaiji County is mountainous, and it is not rich, so it cannot produce much money.

Sun Jian did not fully control the other three counties, so Sun Jian's strength at this time was very poor.But Cao Ang pretended to be confused and said, "Prince Sun, how do you say this?"

Sun Jian smiled bitterly when he heard this. He felt that Cao Ang should know the current situation in Yangzhou, but he still analyzed it for Cao Ang.

After hearing this, Cao Ang said with a troubled expression on his face: "Prince Sun, it's not that I won't help you. In the initial crusade against Yuan Shu's traitors, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, Lu Bu and Liu Bei, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou all helped."

"I also promised Liu Biao that if he could capture a few counties, I would give them to him!"

"Fortunately, he didn't capture a single county, but only a few counties. Naturally, this promise was invalidated."

"If it weren't for this, I would be embarrassed to promise you the position of governor of Yangzhou."

"It's just that although Yuan Shu is defeated, I can't force them to leave Yangzhou. Who will dare to listen to the imperial court's orders in the future?"

Sun Jian was a little helpless by Cao Ang's well-founded analysis: "Young general, is it that the imperial court will just let them occupy Yangzhou's territory without returning it?"

Cao Ang smiled when he heard this: "Of course it won't happen. Since Sun Governor is already the governor of Yangzhou, the four counties in Jiangdong promised to you by the imperial court will be commanded by you!"

"I can help you with a letter from Tao Qian and Liu Bei. You can take it to Wu County, talk to them, and ask them to withdraw their troops. After all, the place is still far away from Xuzhou, and there is Lu Bu in the middle."

"It's just that I can't help you, Governor Sun, with Lu Bu and Liu Biao. There is a gap between Lu Bu and me. He always feels that I will cheat him, so he is always wary of me. If I give him Writing letters would be counterproductive.”

"As for Liu Biao, he won't listen to me even more. After all, the Jingzhou family has a great business, and he can start a fight."

As Cao Ang spoke, he wrote a letter and asked Sun Jian to take it to Wu Commandery.

As the emperor's uncle, Liu Bei would definitely not disobey the imperial court, and Tao Qian did not have far-sighted vision. As long as the benefits were enough, Wu Jun could still easily get back.

As for Lu Bu and Liu Biao, Sun Jian should have to rely on himself to defeat them.

Let these people argue with each other in Yangzhou, and also agree with Cao Ang's plan.

After Sun Jian got the letter, although he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief at least: "Thank you, young general. Let's go see the surrendered soldiers."

Cao Ang nodded and followed Sun Jian to the martial arts field.

At this time, in the martial arts arena, Chen Daozheng led people to receive the surrendered soldiers and arrange their training.

Cao Ang looked at the people in the martial arts arena, frowned slightly and said, "Chief Sun, are these the only people Yuan Shu surrendered to?"

Sun Jian nodded sheepishly. In fact, they had almost [-] surrendered soldiers from Yuan Shu, but he had selfish motives. After all, after several battles, Jiangdong Army also suffered a lot of losses and needed to be replenished.

Besides, after he takes back those territories, he will still need to send troops to garrison them!
If he didn't have enough money and food now, he would have just sent Cao Ang [-] surrendered soldiers.

"Major General, as I said just now, the only one I have complete control over now is Kuaiji County. It is not an important place in the first place, so there are not many defenders, so naturally there will be fewer soldiers."

"On the other side of Yuzhang County, they were led by Zhang Xun and all surrendered to Cai Mao. Although Zhang Xun was killed by his son Sun Ce, the surrendered soldiers were all transferred to the Jingzhou army by Cai Mao."

Cao Ang nodded. He knew that Sun Jian would not send the surrendered soldiers together, but he did not expect that there would be only 3 soldiers.

But since Sun Jian had already explained it in this way, Cao Ang couldn't say anything more.
