In less than half a month, the entire Danyang County fell into the hands of Yuan Yao.

After defeating Danyang County, Yuan Yao was not in a hurry to attack Wu County.

The reason why I am not in a hurry is because I am not sure.

Don't look at Sun Ce's big loss in Danyang County, but the loss of manpower in Danyang County is not a pain in Sun Ce's muscles and bones at all.

He still had a lot of troops in Wu County and Huiji County.

Moreover, there was also news from the men stationed in Dantu County before, and the Wu County side quickly organized people to resist, and the two sides started a big battle in Wu County.

Yuan Yao's manpower did not take advantage of anything, and even suffered a secret loss.

If you want to continue the attack, I'm afraid that the current manpower alone is not enough.

On the other hand, although Yuan Yao occupied several important cities between Wu County and Danyang County. However, with Yuan Yao's current troops, the city is more than enough to defend and the attack is insufficient.

Instead of attacking Wu County on a large scale at this time, it is better to manage Danyang County that has been eaten first.

As long as Danyang, Lujiang, Runan and other places can be connected, Yuan Yao's strength can grow in a short period of time.

When the time comes, there will be no need to worry about just one Sun Ce.

After taking the entire Danyang County, Yuan Yao did not send soldiers and horses to garrison Danyang County, but handed over the entire Danyang County to Zheng Bao to manage according to the previous agreement with Zheng Bao.

After all, this Danyang County, for the time being, is not particularly important to Yuan Yao, it is just a strategic point used to contain and defend Sun Ce.

Instead of letting him send soldiers and horses to settle here and rule, it is better to sell Zheng Bao a face and hand over this place to Zheng Bao, first, to test Zheng Bao's ability to manage a county, and secondly, to let Zheng Bao use his own people to contain Sun Ce.

Of course, there is another important reason, that is, he promised Zheng Bao to let him serve as the Taishou of Danyang, and Yuan Yao can't go back.

He cherished his reputation, and was naturally willing to hand over Danyang County to Zheng Bao temporarily.

In the next half a month, Yuan Yao assisted Zheng Bao and let Zheng Bao take over the entire Danyang County, of course, in order to show Zu Lang's support for this attack on Danyang County, Yuan Yao came to express his other Sima under his command, and at the same time received the post of county commander of Jing County, which was regarded as a reward for Zu Lang.

As for Yuan Yao himself, he only needs the two county towns of Liyang County and Changxing County.

The main reason why these two counties are wanted is also because these two counties are connected to Danyang and Wu County, and once Sun Ce wants to use troops against Danyang, he will inevitably pass through these two places.

It was also an important place for the two armies to fight.

Yuan Yao wanted to control Sun Ce, as long as he occupied the two county seats, he could easily send spies into Wu County to find out information.

However, Yuan Yao believed that in a short period of time, Sun Ce would not come to him for trouble.

After all, it's winter now, and it's snowing heavily.

Even if you want to raise troops, you won't choose this time.

What's more, Yuan Yao was not in a hurry to attack Wu County, and Sun Ce didn't know where he was now.

He needs to recuperate.

After knowing that there was no chance of war for the time being, Yuan Yao was not in a hurry to fight Sun Ce, but began to tinker with his own honeycomb coal business.

His original purpose in seizing Danyang County was just to make his honeycomb coal sell better.

Now that he has helped Zheng Bao take Danyang, Zheng Bao's fleet is owned by Yuan Yao, and Yuan Yao took advantage of this winter to quickly expand his honeycomb coal business to several counties in Huainan.

This includes Lujiang County, Danyang County, Runan County, Guangling County and other places.

He even wanted to use the ship to sell the honeycomb coal to Wu County, but unfortunately Wu County was Sun Ce's territory, and most of the merchant ships entering Wu County would be detained, so he couldn't fold all his ships into it for this business.

It is precisely because of the rapid expansion of his business that the output of the Bagongshan coal yard has also risen rapidly.

If it weren't for the fact that Yan Xiang had been helping him preside over the overall situation in Bagong Mountain for the past two months, constantly recruiting displaced people and opening new coal mines, the output of these coal mines would not have been able to increase.

The increase in production has also made Yuan Yao's income bigger and bigger.

The monthly income has climbed from a few million to forty or fifty million dollars.

However, there is a lot of income, but there are also more people who are busy with their work, and a lot of money is consumed.

But after all, there is still a great profit, so that Yuan Yao's pocket has begun to be a lot richer.

And in the past half a month, after taking care of the affairs of Danyang County, on the other side, Changsha Taishou Zhang Ji finally sent a letter back to Yuan Yao.

Zhang Ji not only agreed to Yuan Yao's request, but even came to see Yuan Yao on the spot.

Half a month ago, Yuan Yao sent someone to send a message to Zhang Ji, wanting to recruit Zhang Ji to establish a medical school together, but Changsha County is not a short distance from his location after all, even if he sends someone to rush over day and night.

It will take several days to do it.

Especially in the past, it took several days to take a boat and swim upstream.

As soon as Yuan Yao's men arrived in Changsha County, they asked the Taishou Mansion to see Zhang Ji, but naturally no one cared about it, but fortunately, the person was smart and directly told the gatekeeper of the Taishou Mansion what Yuan Yao told him.

The man knew that this matter was a big matter, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went in to ask his master Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji came out of the mansion to greet him in less than a moment, and after some understanding, he immediately decided to leave all the affairs in the mansion to his subordinates for the time being, and personally followed Yuan Yao's men and horses to ask to see Yuan Yao.

Zhang Ji is really concerned about typhoid fever, and he can't wait to see Yuan Yao soon.

Fortunately, Changsha went to Danyang, but it was very fast, after all, down the river, the ship sailed day and night, and it only took less than three days to see Yuan Yao in Liyang.

Yuan Yao didn't expect Zhang Zhongjing to come to see him in person, which caught Yuan Yao off guard, and even some of the things he had thought of hadn't had time to implement.

However, Zhang Zhongjing is here, and he still has to talk to Zhang Zhongjing first, and then talk about it after stabilizing it.

As a result, Yuan Yao repeated his old skills, and talked with Zhang Zhongjing all night like the last time he interviewed Hua Tuo, describing his original intention and ideal of opening a medical school.

Zhang Zhongjing, who said it, was also in awe.

When it came to Hua Tuo and his three disciples who also joined the medical school as deans and professors, Zhang Zhongjing was even more excited.

Hua Tuo's reputation is naturally clear to Zhang Zhongjing, who is also a doctor.

"Okay, with Mr. Hua Tuo joining, the medical school will definitely be successful, and the old man is willing to join!"

"Just ......"

Zhang Zhongjing stopped talking and looked at Yuan Yao.
