After Sun Jian sent the pawns, he was about to say goodbye and leave.

Originally, Cao Ang wanted to ask Sun Jian to stay for a meal, but Sun Jian refused.

After all, there are a lot of bad things in the four counties of Jiangdong, and Sun Jian can't go if he doesn't leave.

When sending Sun Jian away, Cao Ang couldn't help but instruct: "Sun Tingshi, although the four counties of Jiangdong are under your command, the appointment of this official must go through the imperial court, don't forget it." ”

"You can write a book and recommend those positions, and I will also give priority to His Majesty and those ministers."

When Sun Jian heard this, his face changed, but he didn't say much, after all, there was nothing wrong with what Cao Ang said.

It's just that over the years, the imperial court's control over the local area has become weaker and weaker, and the appointment of officials by the assassin himself has long been tacitly approved.

Now that Cao Ang is saying this, it must be to take back local power and strengthen centralized power.

Sun Jian nodded with an ugly face: "Don't worry, young general, when I finish dealing with the affairs of Wu County, I will write to the imperial court and recommend talents." ”

"Okay, then you have to worry about the history of Laosun Thorn." Cao Ang sent Sun Jian away with a smile and then went back.

As soon as Cao Ang returned to the house and sat down, ready to plan the next thing, Cheng Yu walked over.

After seeing Cheng Yu, Cao Ang's face couldn't help but change: "Zhongde, you won't let me kill Sun Jian again, right?" This is not suitable, he is the assassin of Yangzhou, I let people sneak attack him and kill him, it is really not good! ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, his face also changed.

Am I going to kill people as soon as I appear?

However, his psychological quality is very strong, otherwise he would not use the enemy as military rations.

I saw that Cheng Yu's face immediately returned to normal.

"The young general laughed, after you explained to me before, I have no murderous intentions towards Sun Jian."

"Oh? Then why did you come to me? "Cao Ang handed over the government affairs of the two counties of Huainan to Cheng Yu before, could it be that something happened?

Cheng Yu responded respectfully: "Young General, that's the case, after you went to visit Qiao Guolao, the other major families all handed over their prayers and wanted to see you. ”

"I excused myself for a while, and I was going to hold a banquet, and I invited all the people from those families to come, so that they could talk about anything on the surface."

Cao Ang sneered when he heard this: "What else can these families do, it's just to tie up with me and protect their interests, after all, there are still many positions in these two counties." ”

"Besides, to govern these two counties, you still need the help of these families, otherwise it is easy to have turmoil."

When he said these words, Cao Ang's heart was a little irritable.

Because he knows that although these families can also cultivate talents, in fact, they are also squeezing the value of ordinary people.

The people live on food, and most of the cultivated land in these two counties is in the hands of these families, as for the ordinary people, as long as they don't die of hunger, how can they have other ideas.

However, as land annexation becomes more and more serious, the world will be in turmoil!

The Yellow Turban Uprising, because of this, can become the climate.

It is precisely because land annexation is becoming more and more serious that there is a saying that most of the ancient dynasties will not exceed 300 years.

Cao Ang was thinking a little too much at this time, he was already thinking about what he should do after the world was unified.

Reform! Reform is necessary!

Cheng Yu on the side saw Cao Ang distracted, and it took a long time for him to interrupt: "Young General, what are you thinking?" ”

Cao Ang came back to his senses and waved his hand: "It's nothing, you can look at the arrangement of this banquet, the time and place are set, and we will go to the banquet together when the time comes." ”

Cheng Yu nodded and continued to speak, but hesitated: "Young General, there is one more thing!" ”

"What?" Cao Ang opened his mouth and asked, "It's good to just say it, you don't have to babble." ”

"That Yuan Shu's daughter, Yuan Yan, wants to see you." Cheng Yu finally spoke.

When Cao Ang heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Since this Yuan Yan was sent by Lu Bu, he has been living in a simple place, and he doesn't like to talk to people very much.

Why do you suddenly want to see yourself today?

Could it be that after the big and small Qiao came, Yuan Yan sensed the crisis?

To say that after this little and small Qiao was brought back by Cao Ang, he has been staying honestly, waiting for Cao Ang to come to them.

But there are a lot of things in these two counties, and Cao Ang is not in that mood.

If you just go to sleep and put on your pants and leave, it's not impossible.

It's just that Cao Ang is not that kind of person, this kind of thing is to talk about feelings.

"Okay, in that case, I'll go see her."

After Cao Ang sent Cheng Yu away, he went to Yuan Yu.

At this time, Yuan Yan was making tea, and she knew that Cao Ang liked this mouthful.

Cao Ang was not polite after he came, and sat down directly opposite Yuan Yan.

"Miss Yuan, I don't know why you called me here?"

Cao Ang was wondering, could this girl want to help her avenge her father's murder and kill Sun Jian?

This is obviously impossible, at least not now.

If she rejects her, will she hold a grudge against herself?

Thinking of this, Cao Ang was a little difficult, after all, it was not appropriate to kill people directly.

Yuan Yan naturally didn't know that she was almost sentenced to death in Cao Ang's heart just now.

I saw Yuan Yan pour the boiled tea into the small teacup, hold it up with both hands, and hand it to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang stretched out his hand and took the teacup, and after taking a sip, he smiled slightly: "Miss Yuan's tea-making skills are getting better and better." ”

"If the general likes it, he can come often." Yuan Yan's voice was clear and cold, but it was very good.

And her whole person exudes that kind of cold and demure temperament.

Cao Ang glanced at Yuan Yan, and couldn't help but wonder if he dressed her in a white gauze dress, would it be the same as Xiaolongnu?

However, Cao Ang suddenly thought of something.

She makes herself come often?

What do you mean?

If she is diligent and has nothing to do, she must be a traitor or a thief, then she must have something to ask me for.

Cao Ang didn't think about intriguing with Yuan Yan, and asked straight to the point: "Miss Yuan, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, if you don't ask me, I don't think you should take the initiative to deal with me, right?" ”

Yuan Yan was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect Cao Ang to think of herself like this.

But soon she returned to normal: "The general laughed, what can the little woman ask for, just to have a stable home and a strong man to protect her in the troubled times." ”

Cao Ang couldn't understand the girl in front of him a little, he was a little wary of Yuan Yan, after all, Yuan Shubing was defeated and died, and he couldn't get rid of it.
