Just when Cao Ang's side was receiving both money and people, Sun Jian, who was far away in Wu County, was irritable.

On that day, after Sun Jian finished sending Cao Ang's pawn, he took the letter and went straight to Wu County.

At this time, Wu County had been occupied by Tao Qian and Liu Bei, and the entire county was garrisoned by the Xuzhou Army.

Sun Jian came to the city of Wu County, and was made difficult by the soldiers who took down the city to defend the city, until Sun Jian took out the Wuhuan Hou seal he was carrying, and then he successfully met Tao Qian.

Although Tao Qian was evaluated as a dry bone in the mound, he was not useless, otherwise, he would not have laid down a family business.

When he saw Sun Jian coming, he naturally realized that the other party was here to ask for Wu Jun, after all, Sun Jian's Yangzhou assassination history was sealed by the imperial court, and everyone in the world knew about it.

But Tao Qian pretended not to know what to do, and greeted Sun Jian directly at the county guard's mansion.

"I said why did the magpie keep calling today, it turned out that Brother Wentai was here!"

Sun Jian looked at Tao Qian, who was smiling, and it was not easy to come up and talk about business, but said hello: "Brother Gongzu, don't come to harm!" ”

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Tao Qian asked Sun Jian with a smile: "Brother Wentai, I heard that you made the history of Yangzhou Thorn, so this Wu County is also under your rule?" ”

"That's right." Sun Jian didn't know why Tao Qian said this, but he still nodded: "I came here today to see if there are any remnants of Yuan Shu's rebels on the Wu County side. ”

Tao Qian laughed loudly when he heard this: "Brother Wentai is too worried, with Xuande Gong and his two virtuous brothers here, these young people in Wu County are naturally cleaned up." ”

When Sun Jian heard this, he replied with a smile: "It's so good, but I don't know how many soldiers Brother Gong has received, but the young general wants me to hand over all the soldiers to him." ”

"I myself also sent the soldiers of Jiangji County to Shouchun, and I came to Gong Zu Brother to deliver a letter to you non-stop."

Tao Qian's face changed when he heard this, and then he said with regret on his face: "Oh, Brother Wentai, you are a step too late, I have already let those soldiers disperse and go to my Xuzhou army." ”

"Then please ask Brother Gongzu to make a little more effort, and then pick out those people, presumably they have all been registered, and it won't be a difficult matter."

Sun Jian smiled and proposed his own solution, you broke it up, right, it doesn't matter, just pick it out again!

But when Tao Qian heard this, he still said with a sad face: "Brother Wentai, you also know that since ancient times, no one has been willing to let those soldiers defend the city, so the team where those soldiers are has been transferred back to Xuzhou by me." ”

"Now, the soldiers stationed in various parts of Wu County are all soldiers I brought out from Xuzhou, and the combat effectiveness is high, and I can rest assured when I mobilize it!"

Tao Qian's words, in fact, have two meanings, one is that there is no way if you want to surrender to the pawn, and the second layer is that Wu Jun is now my people, if you want to take it, then there is no way!

In a word, Wu Jun is now my Tao Qian's, and no one wants to get any benefits from here!

Sun Jian was also a hero in the world, so he could naturally hear what Tao Qian meant, so he took out Cao Ang's letter and handed it over.

"Brother Gongzu, I know that you have made a great contribution to helping the young general sweep down the traitor Yuan Shu, but this Wu County should indeed be under my control, and please ask Brother Gongzu to withdraw the Xuzhou army from Wu County."

After Tao Qian read the letter handed over by Sun Jian, he was sure that the letter was indeed written by Cao Ang.

It's just that the content of this letter is also very simple, that is, to praise the Xuzhou army, and when Cao Ang returns to Luoyang, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds.

Sun Jian's side was rewarded first, and that was because Yangzhou really needed a history of assassination.

As for the affairs of Wu County, you still have to discuss it, don't make a big move, and fight to expand the territory, isn't it just for the sake of soldiers, horses, money and food.

As long as the money is sufficient, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.

Tao Qian also realized that what Cao Ang meant was that Wu Jun could return it to Sun Jian, but Sun Jian had to compensate him.

As for how much this compensation will be, that will have to be discussed!

Tao Qian put the letter aside, smiled and said to Sun Jian: "Brother Wentai, I know that this Wu County is under your jurisdiction, but the credit for Wu County is just to lay down the credit of Wu County, he is not my own, I think, let's ask the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang!" ”

"Good!" Sun Jian nodded, he had heard Liu Bei's benevolence for a long time, if he asked him, he would definitely agree to return Wu Jun.

Sun Jian thought so, so he went to Liu Bei with Tao Qian.

At this time, Liu Bei was stationed outside Wujun City with troops, after all, he had received so many soldiers, so he naturally needed to control and practice.

As for what Tao Qian said about sending all the pawns back to Xuzhou, it was pure nonsense, he just didn't want to hand over the pawns.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to train here, and then received the news sent by Tao Qian's subordinates.

After reading the letter, Liu Bei couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei on the side couldn't help but ask: "Big brother, what's wrong, I see why you keep frowning?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head helplessly when he heard this: "Isn't Sun Wentai named the history of Yangzhou Thorn, this trip to Wu County must have come to ask for territory." ”

As soon as Zhang Fei heard this, he was immediately anxious: "Why, this Wu County was brought down by our brothers, why should it be given to Sun Jian?" ”

Although Guan Yu didn't speak, he frowned slightly, stroked his beard, and was obviously a little dissatisfied with Sun Jian.

Liu Bei looked at his two brothers, and sighed helplessly: "You can't say that, this Wu County is under the rule of Yangzhou, so it should indeed belong to Yangzhou Assassin Shi, and it is reasonable for Sun Jian to go back." ”

As Liu Bei's words fell, Zhang Fei's two big eyes rolled, and then said, "Big brother, I have a plan!" ”

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were a little stunned when they heard this, as elder brothers, the two of them knew the reckless and rude character of their third brother best.

If Zhang Fei has a plan, the two of them will definitely not believe it.

But Liu Bei couldn't save his brother's face, so he could only say now: "Third brother, what plan do you have?" ”

"Big brother, isn't this simple, this Wu County can give him Sun Jian, but the position of this Wu County Guard, you have to sit on the eldest brother, in this case, then Wu County is nominally owned by Sun Jian, but in fact it is still in our hands!"

Zhang Fei's face was full of seriousness when he said this.

When Liu Bei and Guan Yu heard this, their eyes lit up.

It works!

It's just that Liu Bei was named the minister of Langya by the imperial court, so naturally he can no longer serve as the county guard of Wu County.

So Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu: "Second brother, this position of the county guard of Wu County, the eldest brother will come for you!" (End of chapter)
