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

"Bo Fu, Yuzhang's side will be handed over to you first, for my father, I want to go to Huiji, and I will organize the soldiers over there and send them to Cao Ang."

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

In fact, it's not just Sun Ce who is unhappy, but Sun Jian is also unhappy.

But there is no way, these soldiers are all rebels and are to be handed over to the imperial court for trial, so there is no problem for Cao Ang to accept these soldiers.

Sun Jian handed the letter of appointment and dismissal of the imperial court to Sun Ce, and then explained: "After all, these people are all descended soldiers, and Cao Ang received them on behalf of the imperial court, and there is no problem. ”

"What's more, I'm here in Yangzhou, and I haven't secured the position of this assassin history, if these pawns have been raised, it will also be a great burden for us."

When Sun Ce heard this, his brows furrowed, he knew that after the family had a big business, raising the army was also a great burden.

So he is not against handing over the pawn: "Father, I have no objection to handing over the pawn, but we can't hand it all over, we have to keep a part!" ”

"I know, so I'm going to have to go for myself! We can hand over Cao Ang's subordinates, only those from Huiji County, and we won't hand over the rest. ”

After Sun Jian and Sun Ce briefly admonished him, he left Yuzhang City.

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

After Sun Jian arrived in Huiji, he began to recruit and surrender soldiers, and then installed his own men in each county to strengthen his rule over Huiji County.

Like Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai and others, they were all arranged by Sun Jian.

Only Zhang Zhao stayed in Huiji to help Sun Jian deal with political affairs.

Zhang Zhao is new to Sun Jian, after all, the local family in Yangzhou still has to have a good relationship with Yangzhou Assassin History.

As for Sun Jian himself, he went north with 30,000 soldiers to find Cao Ang.

ran all the way, and after coming to Shouchun, Sun Jian found Cao Ang.

"Major General, don't come unharmed!"

Cao Ang also said hello to Sun Jian: "Sun Tingshi, it's been a long time!" ”

He knew that the letter of appointment from the imperial court had been issued, so the title had also been changed.

When Sun Jian heard this, he waved his hand awkwardly: "Don't laugh at me, the young general, I'm a Yangzhou assassin, but I don't live up to my name!" ”

Cao Ang naturally knew what Sun Jian meant by this, Yangzhou originally had six counties, and in exchange for benefits, he took away the two counties of Huainan and promised Sun Jian only four counties.

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

There was also the Jingzhou army led by Cai Mao in the south, which confronted it in the Luling area.

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

After all, most of Huiji County is mountainous, and it is not rich, so it is impossible to get much grain.

Sun Jian did not fully grasp the other three counties, so Sun Jian's strength at this time was very poor.

But Cao Ang pretended to be confused: "Sun Tingshi, how can 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 gave Cao Ang an analysis.

After Cao Ang listened, he said with a sad face: "Sun Tingshi, it's not that I don't help you, I fought against Yuan Shu's rebels, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou, they all helped." ”

"I also promised Liu Biao at the time that if he could fight down a few counties, I would assign those counties to him!"

"Fortunately, he didn't fight a single county, but only a few counties, and this promise was naturally null and void."

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

"It's just that although this Yuan Shu is defeated, I can't unload the mill and kill the donkeys, and force them to leave Yangzhou, so in the future, who will dare to listen to the orders of the imperial court?"

Sun Jian was a little helpless by Cao Ang's reasoned and well-founded analysis: "The young general, does the imperial court let them occupy the territory of Yangzhou and not return it?" ”

Cao Ang smiled when he heard this: "This is naturally not, since Sun Thorn Shiling is already the history of Yangzhou Thorn, the four counties of Jiangdong promised to you by the imperial court are also under your command!" ”

"Tao Qian and Liu Bei, I can help you repair a book, you take it to Wu County, talk to them, and let them withdraw their troops, after all, the place is still some distance from Xuzhou, and there is still a Lu Bu in the middle."

"It's just that Lu Bu and Liu Biao are there, I can't help Sun Tingshi you, there is a gap between that Lu Bu and me, he always thinks that I will cheat him, so he is wary of me everywhere, if I write to him, it will backfire."

"As for Liu Biao, he won't listen to me even more, after all, the Jingzhou family has a big business, and he fights."

Cao Ang said, so he went to write a letter and asked Sun Jian to take it to Wu County.

Liu Bei, as the emperor's uncle, will definitely not disobey the will of the imperial court, and that Tao Qian does not have a far-sighted vision, as long as the benefits are enough, then Wu Jun can still easily come back.

As for Lu Bu and Liu Biao, they should only rely on Sun Jian to fight by himself.

let these people fight each other in Yangzhou, and also echo Cao Ang's plan.

After Sun Jian got the letter, although he was still uncomfortable, he was relieved: "Thank you young general, let's go and see those soldiers." ”

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

At this time, in the martial arts arena, Chen Zhi was taking people to receive those soldiers and arrange their training by the way.

Cao Ang looked at the people in the martial arts arena, frowned slightly, and said, "Sun Tingshi, Yuan Shu's pawns, are there only so many people?" ”

Sun Jian nodded embarrassedly, in fact, the soldiers of Yuan Shu who they surrendered were almost 50,000, but he was selfish, after all, after several battles, the Jiangdong Army also lost a lot, and it needed to be replenished.

Besides, when he recovers those territories, he still needs to send troops to garrison!

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have enough money and food now, he would have wanted to send Cao Ang only 10,000 soldiers.

"Major General, as I said just now, I have complete control now, only Huiji County, which is not an important place in the first place, so there are not many defenders, so there are naturally fewer soldiers."

"On the side of Yuzhang County, it was taken by Zhang Xun, and they all voted for Cai Mao, although Zhang Xun was killed by his son Sun Ce, but those soldiers were all given to Cai Mao and went to the Jingzhou army."

Cao Ang nodded, he knew that Sun Jian would not send the soldiers with him, but he didn't expect that there were only 30,000 people.

It's just that Sun Jian explained it like this, and Cao Ang couldn't say anything more.
