Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

"It was Cao Cao's meritorious conquest of the thieves, and the general dealt with it leniently. This time, General Cao just picked up a bargain." Jia Xu said with a smile.

If Liu Ye hadn't led the army to destroy Zhang Xunjun, Yuan Shu would naturally not have taken the initiative to escape from Shouchun. Zhang Xun's 60,000 army was the main force of Yuan Jun, so Yuan Shu was forced to flee, while Cao Cao took advantage.

"Hehe, that's all, Mr. Zhong De, please go back." After Jia Xu finished speaking, he stood up and went out.

"Mr. Wenhe, where is the general? A certain wants to see the general."

Cheng Yu stretched out his hand to stop Jia Xu, his expression deep.

Jia Gongshang said: "The general is assisting His Majesty Prime Minister's national military and political affairs. Now he is very busy. Mr. Zhong De still don't trouble the general. Just go back and bring the news to General Cao."

"My master, General Cao, is able to put down the rebellion, how can he be rewarded like this?" Cheng Yu said slightly angry.

Jia Xu showed a slight chuckle and strode out. Before he left, he reminded him with friendship: "Mr. Zhong De, the general is really busy. I suggest you not to thank you."

As a special envoy of Cao Cao, Cheng Yu was naturally dissatisfied that he was only paid five hundred stones, so he did not go back these few days, but wanted to see Liu Ye to debate Cao Cao's merits.

With my three-inch tongue, Cheng Yu, as long as I see the general, I can definitely convince him!

Cheng Yu tidied his clothes and was full of confidence. However, it was a pity that Liu Ye didn't give him this opportunity at all. He simply thanked the guests behind closed doors. Cheng Yu stayed in Runan City for three days, but he didn't even see Liu Ye. When he arrived, he had no choice but to board a carriage and head back to Huainan.

"Yu ashamed!"

Cheng Yu bowed his head and said: "Liu Yuqing used the fact that our army left without authorization to defeat Yuan Shugong's deeds, and only in a symbolic sense, he paid five hundred stones to the lord."

Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay. Someone knows Yuqing very well. This servant has never been willing to suffer. Now our army has easily obtained the land of Huainan. The gain is not small, and it needs to be consolidated and digested."

"Master!"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, only to see that Xi Zhi hurriedly walked into the chamber from outside, with a grim expression.

Seeing Xi Zhicai's face, Cao Cao wondered: "What's wrong with Zhicai, what news did you hear?" Among Cao Jun, Xun Yu is in charge of government affairs and sits at the center. Cheng Yu is good at conspiracy strategy, and Xi Zhicai is the best. Cao Cao's confidant is in charge of the intelligence exchanges among Cao Jun.

"My lord, this time our army is afraid that Huainan is already in the quagmire." Xi Zhicai said solemnly.

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao said strangely: "Is it possible that Liu Yuqing is unwilling to be reconciled to a certain birthday, ready to send troops to pacify the southeast?" If this is the case, then it is really a terrible news, the bravery of the Xiliang army and the prestige of Liu Ye, It really is in the crown of Jueyu.

"No, Sun Ce and the lord sent troops to attack Yuan Shu at the same time, and the envoy of Sun Ce and Zhong De joined Liu Ye's army at the same time, does the lord know why Sun Ce was given the official position?"

"Could it be?" Cao Cao seemed to be aware of it.

"Yangzhou provincial governor!" Xi Zhicai said every word: "Sun Cejun must go north to fight fiercely with our army."

"What a clever method, there are capable people and strangers around this general." Cao Cao was amazed and a pity.

"Since Sun Ce is the governor of Yangzhou, and Shouchun belongs to Jiujiang County, and Jiujiang County belongs to Yangzhou, what's more, Sun Ce is ambitious. Even without the title of Yangzhou governor, sooner or later he will go north to fight with our army." Cheng Yu analyzed.

"But this is also good news." Cao Cao suddenly smiled.

"Good news?" Xi Zhi said in a puzzled way: "The land of Huainan is full of rivers and nets. Our army is mostly northerners, who are good at land warfare but not water warfare. Sun Ce's Jiangdong army is a man who crosses rivers, lakes and seas. In a battle, even if our army has many generals, it may not be easy to win, right?"

"Hahaha, this is natural. The good news I said is that since Yuqing appointed Sun Ce as a Yangzhou governor to consume our army, it means that he has no plans to lead troops south and drink the Yangtze River in a short time!"

Cao Cao said boldly: "Take advantage of this period of time, our army should actively expand and train naval officers. It is best to defeat Sun Ce, annex Jiangdong, occupy the danger of the Yangtze River, and use ships and ships to deal with the benefits of Xiliang's iron cavalry."

At the same time, Wu Jun was a voice of congratulations.

"Congratulations to the lord for his succession as Yangzhou Governor!"

"Yeah, the general really distinguishes rewards and punishments, and he values ​​my lord so much, hahaha."

"In this way, the lord is no different from the old thief Liu Jingsheng in his official position. The weak crown is a big official in frontiers, and my lord will definitely keep the history."

With a smile on his face, Sun Ce greeted the cheers of Wu Jianwu, while Zhou Yu frowned.

Zhou Yu turned his head and saw that Lu Su didn't say a word, immediately walked to him, winked at him, and then walked into the corner.

"Brother Gong Jin?"

Zhou Yu turned around and said calmly: "Brother Zijing, you must have seen the plot of the general, right?"

Lu Su slightly nodded: "With no effort to make our army go north to fight with Cao Cao, with my lord's temperament, I am afraid that I am so happy. The man who set up this kind of strategy is simply to get the lord's temperament and insight into the hearts of the people. , True ghosts!"

"Zi Jing, follow me to Bo Fu's mansion at night."

Zhou Yu gave an order, and Lu Su nodded in agreement, and went back to the banquet as if nothing had happened.

At night, Sun Ce undressed and just about to go to sleep, the guards reported: "The lord, Xiaowei Zhou and Wei Lu Du came to visit."

"Gong Jin and Lu Su?"

Sun Ce immediately became energetic when he heard the words. A carp fish stood up from the couch, put on his shirt, and walked out barefoot.

"Haha, it turned out to be Gong Jin and Mr. Zijing, come in quickly."

Seeing Sun Ce greet him barefoot, Lu Su was slightly moved, but Zhou Yu nodded heavily, "Well, I'll wait to talk inside."

Sun Ce ordered people to light up the lights, walk into the inner room, and directly said: "Gong Jin and Zijing are visiting late at night, what's the matter?"

"Bo Fu." Zhou Yu didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Liu Ye named you Yangzhou governor, the purpose is to make our army fight Cao Jun, he is a fisherman."

Sun Ce smiled and said: "Yes, but isn't this the strategy Gong Jin you formulated in the first place? So the strategic direction of our army coincides with the appointment of the Yangzhou governor, isn't it right?"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "A certain is indeed advocating forging ahead in Huainan. However, our military's strategic intentions were not exposed at that time. When Cao Cao was negligent, he suddenly went northward. It is very likely that he will go down to Shouchun. But now Liu Ye It completely disrupted our army's plan."
