After a long while, Zheng Bao, who was in deep thought, gradually figured out some things.

He looked at Yuan Yao again.

"Childe, this matter is very important, and I can't call the shots alone."

Zheng Bao's face showed embarrassment, although he said this and did not refuse Yuan Yao in person, but he was also worried that Yuan Yao would be angry with him because of this, if he didn't talk about it and turned his face directly, then Zheng Bao actually didn't want to see it.

Although this is his Zheng Bao's territory, Yuan Yao's identity is still very jealous of Zheng Bao.

Yuan Yao didn't get angry because of this, and even felt that Zheng Bao was able to say this, just because he wanted to refuse, but because he was really thinking about being Zhao'an.

After all, although Zheng Bao is the head of the family, he also has two righteous brothers, these two righteous brothers, both of whom are water thieves, and there are thousands of people under their command.

If Zheng Bao is edicted, where should these people go, after all, everyone has to discuss it together, so it will work.

If Zheng Bao really did a word, he would not have to invite Liu Ye to help him say that everyone would go south together.

And now Yuan Yao has come to Zhao'an, and the conditions given are also good, one can turn the war with the court into a jade silk, although Yuan Shu's court is a pseudo dynasty, but in today's troubled times, the Han court has existed in name only, and they naturally don't care who is the emperor, they only care about their own interests.

Yuan Yao is willing to let him serve as the Taishou of Danyang, so that Zheng Bao can be a grass citizen and turn into a bureaucratic class, how not to make Zheng Bao's heart move.

Therefore, after Yuan Yao finished speaking, Zheng Bao was actually very willing, so that he did not have to move south with people, leave his homeland, and be able to enter the court smoothly.

As for Yuan Yao, he didn't suffer a loss, and recruited Zheng Bao, firstly, because he took a fancy to Zheng Bao's ability, this person still has a little bravery, and he has a lot of sailors and ships under his command, which is useful to Yuan Yao.

As for the official position promised to Zheng Bao by Yuan Yao, it was actually just a blank sentence.

Because although Danyang County belongs to Yangzhou, it was originally under the control of Yuan Shu, but Danyang Taishou, originally Wu Jing, this person is Sun Ce's uncle, after Yuan Shu became emperor, Sun Ce broke away from Yuan Shu, and persuaded his uncle Wu Jing to leave Yuan Shu together.

Since then, Danyang has basically nothing to do with Yuan Shu, and now Yuan Yao promised Danyang to Zheng Bao, and he also wanted to borrow Zheng Bao's hand to recapture Danyang.

Zheng Bao wants to be a Taishou, no problem, you go to Sun Ce's hands to get Danyang County by yourself, and if you get it, you are the real Taishou, if you can't get it, I'm sorry, you just hang up a Taishou idle position, and it doesn't work.

As for the miscellaneous generals like General Fenwu, Yuan Shu did not have a hundred, but also eighty, it was nothing more than to give Zheng Bao some money, and it is estimated that Zheng Bao would not be able to look down on this money, and what he valued was the name of this general.

So in this deal, in fact, both parties do not suffer.

This is also why, after Yuan Yao thought about it a little, he chose to talk to Zheng Bao in this way first, as long as Zheng Bao is willing to accept this kind of cooperation, it is not unacceptable to recruit him.

Anyway, Yuan Yao also counted on Zheng Bao to become his henchman, as long as he used Zheng Bao's manpower and ships to develop his own business territory, and at the same time began to improve the navy.

After the battle in the north was temporarily calmed down, Yuan Yao had to help Yuan Shu and clean up the rear.

And the first thing is to solve Sun Ce first!

Since Sun Ce announced that he had separated from Yuan Shu, although only half a year has passed, this guy already has a climate.

A few months ago, when Cao Cao raised an army to attack Yuan Shu, he sent Wang Yao to carry an edict from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Sun Ce, appointing Sun Ce as the commander of the cavalry, attacking his father, the Marquis of Wucheng, and concurrently serving as the Taishou of Huiji, and ordered him to crusade against Yuan Shu together with Lu Bu and Chen Yu.

Sun Ce felt that he commanded so many soldiers and horses, and his position as a cavalry lieutenant was a bit low, and he wanted to get the title of general. So he sent someone to reveal this meaning to Wang Pu, who was worried that if Sun Ce was not satisfied, Sun Ce would be resistant and would not participate in the crusade against Yuan Shu, so he immediately announced in the name of the emperor that Sun Ce would act as the general of the Ming and Han dynasties.

After getting the position he wanted, Sun Ce couldn't refuse Cao Cao's proposal.

According to the requirements of the edict, Sun Ce reorganized his troops and horses, and went to meet with Lu Bu and Chen Yu to plan military aircraft and participate in the situation. But when he led his army to Qiantang, the situation changed.

It turned out that Chen Yu, who was the assassin of Yangzhou at the time, on the surface, although he invited Chen Ce to crusade against Yuan Shu in accordance with the will of the imperial court, but secretly Chen Yu wanted to take the opportunity to seize Sun Ce's territory.

He sent people to secretly cross the river and took more than 30 seals to the sect commanders and bandits in Danyang, Xuancheng, Jingxian, Lingyang, Shi'an, Yixian, Shexian and other places.

Among them, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji, and Yan Baihu of Wu County responded and asked them to respond internally, and as soon as Sun Ce's troops were deployed, they would immediately capture Sun Ce's counties.

Unexpectedly, Sun Ce discovered this conspiracy in advance, and then became furious, so he sent Lu Fan and Xu Yi to lead the troops directly to Haixi, defeated Chen Yu, and captured more than 4,000 of his soldiers, wives and children. Chen Yu, who was defeated, could only flee north to Yuan Shao.

The original Chen Ce occupied Huiji County, Wu County and other places, and now after defeating Chen Yu, he has even infiltrated his own power in Guangling County, Xuzhou, and his power has swelled again.

Faintly became a new powerful prince in the Jiangdong area.

Yuan Yao believes that if a dragon among people like Sun Ce can't be strangled in the cradle, then in the future, he will inevitably become a great rival for Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao also hoped that Sun Ce's fate would be like in history, and he would die young, but in that case, Yuan Yao felt a little regretful.

He didn't want a powerful military general like Sun Ce to withdraw from the stage of history too early, he wanted to wrestle with Sun Ce, wanted to convince Sun Ce, see if there was a chance, defeat him, and then bring him back under his command.

If Sun Ce can help him and fight against Cao Liu in the future, Yuan Yao will have a greater certainty.

It's just that now Sun Ce has become stronger, and now Yuan Yao wants to compete with Sun Ce, and he is inevitably a little stretched.

"It's okay, things really can't be figured out in a while, I can give my uncle some time to think about it, so let's do it, three days later, I will come to Chengde County, and then I will come back to listen to my uncle's consideration."

After saying that, Yuan Yao didn't have any intention of staying, so he got up and planned to leave.

Yuan Yao got up to leave, Zheng Bao hurriedly went up and sent Yuan Yao out of the dock fort, and then sent someone to immediately inform him of his two righteous brothers, Zhang Duo and Xu Gan.

Invite the two of them to come and deliberate!
