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

Chapter 400 Sun Jian running around

When Sun Jian heard that Guan Yu was to be the prefect of Wu County, his expression softened a lot.

As long as it's not Liu Bei, he can actually accept it.

After all, he knew Liu Bei well and knew that this man was very good at winning people's hearts. If he was allowed to serve as the governor of Wu County, I am afraid that within a few years, the people of Wu County would only recognize Liu Bei and not recognize him as the governor of Yangzhou.

But if Guan Yu does it, it will be different.

This position of governor can be given to you, but the officials under it are arranged by Sun Jian's nomination.

At that time, a prefect without power will not have many problems.

Thinking of this, Sun Jian nodded: "Okay, I agree to this condition, but the Major General asked me to write a memorial nomination. Whether the final decision can be made depends on the court."

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this: "I think the young general is still a bit thin-faced."

Later, Liu Bei discussed with Sun Jian the issue of money and food for the troops. After all, the Xuzhou Army also suffered a lot in this battle, and Sun Jian needed to get these.

After the discussion, Sun Jian stood up and prepared to leave: "Brother Xuande Gaoyi, I, Sun Jian, have written it down. When I go back and write it down, I will report it to the court. At that time, I will ask General Guan to stay here in Wu County as the governor."

"Okay, Brother Laowen is here, let's go slowly." Liu Bei thanked him and sent Sun Jian away.

As soon as Sun Jian left, Tao Qian, who was resting in the tent nearby, walked out angrily.

At this time, Tao Qian really wanted to scold Liu Bei, but he didn't dare. After all, Guan and Zhang were watching.

"Xuande! What are you thinking about? How can you return Wu County to Sun Jian? We fought hard to defeat this. The Xuzhou Army also lost a lot of people for this!"

Liu Bei looked at the angry Tao Qian and was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Gongzu, let's talk in the account."

Tao Qian let out a sigh of relief and followed Liu Bei into the camp.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by Guan Yu.

"Second brother, why are you stopping me?" Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu in confusion: "Tao Qian was angry with the elder brother just now. If I don't follow him, with the temper of the elder brother, he will definitely be wronged!"

When Guan Yu heard this, he shook his head: "Third brother, don't worry, everything will be fine. Let's just stand outside the camp and wait for him, Tao Qian, to get angry!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he rolled his eyes and understood instantly: "Second brother, do you think that Tao Qian will get angry at the eldest brother, and then we brothers will have a reason to attack him?"

Guan Yu smiled and said nothing, that's what he meant.

In his eyes, this Tao Qian was an elder brother who disrespected him more and more, so he was very unhappy and wanted to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Now that the opportunity has come, how could he miss it?

……

Tao Qian followed Liu Bei into the camp and said angrily: "Liu Bei, if you can't tell me a reason today and give away the territory I worked so hard to conquer, then don't blame me for being angry with you! "

Liu Bei was actually a little dissatisfied with Tao Qian's words.

What do you mean by the territory you worked so hard to acquire?
Who doesn’t know that Wu County was conquered by our brothers, and you, Tao Qian, worked so hard?It's just that Liu Bei couldn't say this openly. He could only say with contempt in his heart: "Brother Gongzu, please listen to me slowly."

"Sun Jian and I took over the position of governor of Wu County and let my second brother Guan Yu take the position. In this way, Wu County was nominally returned to Sun Jian, but in fact, it is still under our control. .”

"Oh?" After hearing Liu Bei's explanation, Tao Qian's expression softened a lot: "In that case, can I, the Xuzhou Army, be stationed in Wu County?"

"Why not? He will be directly transferred to my second brother's subordinates. He will be said to be my second brother's personal army. As for how many personal soldiers there are, the outside world does not know."

Liu Bei smiled slightly and explained: "When the time comes, leave some more people for my second brother, let him take Wu Juncheng as his loyalty, slowly control the surroundings, and eliminate the people arranged by Sun Jian."

"In this way, Wu County belongs to Sun Jian in name, but in fact, it still belongs to us."

If there were outsiders around, Liu Bei wouldn't be able to say such words, but now it was just him and Tao Qian, so he spoke frankly.

No matter how benevolent and righteous he is, he cannot give up the territory he has conquered!
After listening to Liu Bei's explanation, Tao Qian nodded and apologized: "Xuande, I was anxious just now. Please forgive me for any offense!"

After all, Tao Qian was counting on Liu Bei to contain Lu Bu, so naturally he couldn't cause too much trouble with him.

"It's okay. Brother Gongzu is anxious. It's human nature."

Liu Bei was magnanimous and did not care so much about Tao Qian.

Tao Qian untied his knot and left the military camp with a smile, while Liu Bei began to arrange which troops were to be withdrawn and which ones were to be left with Guan Yu. The three brothers began to get busy again.

On the other side, after Sun Jian left Wu County, he went straight to the south of Danyang, where he wanted to gather the remaining troops and win over the local aristocratic families to fight against Lu Bu in the north.

The local wealthy families had been hesitating whether to support Lu Bu or not.

After all, Lu Bu had a notorious reputation, and they really didn't want to win over him.

Now that Sun Jian is here, and he is the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the imperial court, all the wealthy families have the same goal, to win over Sun Jian!

With the support of the surrounding wealthy families, Sun Jian also successfully gathered a force of troops south of Danyang to confront Lu Bu north of Danyang.

After Lu Bu learned that Sun Jian was coming, he called his military advisor to discuss the matter.

"Military advisor, Sun Jian is here. With the support of local wealthy families, he has gathered a force of troops. It seems that he is preparing to attack us."

After the middle-aged man on the side heard this, he nodded solemnly: "Originally, I thought that Sun Jian would be overwhelmed by Liu Biao, but I didn't expect that Liu Biao was really useless. The sergeants under him actually He was restrained by Sun Jian’s son.”

"In addition, Sun Jian is the legitimate governor of Yangzhou, so this time, we are indeed in a dilemma."

"If we fight, the name is not justified and the words are not justified. If we don't fight, then the territories we manage will be in vain."

When Lu Bu heard this, he frowned slightly: "No, we can't lose this territory. It took a lot of effort for us to build this family business, so that we can not be limited to Xiapi. If we lose it, wouldn't we have to go back to Are you going downhill?"

"When I think of the faces of those people in Xuzhou, I want to kill them!"
