Yuzhang County, Chaisang city.
Ten miles to the west of the city, a group of military and civil officials of Yuzhang County stood on both sides of the road. One of them looked impatient and looked to the West from time to time, which seemed to be looking forward to it.
"Fu Jun, the army of Prime Minister Cao should be here soon?"
On the side of the long history cautious way.
"Soon, Prime Minister Cao has sent an envoy to explain that today."
The speaker was Sun Fu, the governor of Yuzhang. He was originally an important official of the sun family, the son of Sun Jian's elder brother sun Qiang, and the cousin of sun CE and Sun Quan. In those years, he followed sun CE in the war and became the governor of Yuzhang county.
If sun CE is still there, even if Sun Fu is afraid, he will never directly go to Cao Cao. But Sun Fu had no confidence in Sun Quan who was young. In his opinion, Cao Cao was resourceful, and Sun Quan was no match for him.
It is better to surrender than to fight in a desperate situation.
At this time, the West suddenly rose up with a large amount of smoke and dust. Among the yellow dust, there were countless black figures.
The earth is shaking and tens of thousands of soldiers are marching towards the East.
Step on it! More than a thousand cavalry troops were the first to arrive. They came to the officials of Yuzhang county. All the officials of Yuzhang county were very white. They had never seen the power of large-scale charge of cavalry in Jiangdong, and "some of them are here."
Sun Fu stood out and flattered him: "I am Sun Fu. I don't know that the general is?"
"This is Cao Ren, the right general!"
Sun Fu's eyes lit up, Cao Cao and Cao Ren. It seems that the relationship between Cao Ren and Cao Cao is extraordinary, and they should be courted.
"It turned out to be general Cao. I've heard a lot about him."
He then said, "I don't know where Prime Minister Cao is?"
"What's the hurry?"
Cao Ren said coldly, "wait, the prime minister is coming."
After that, Cao Ren stopped talking, but stopped his horse. More than a thousand cavalry of Cao troops were equally divided into two parts and stationed by the road, as if waiting for something like a guard of honor.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Tens of thousands of soldiers stepped on the ground and fell in the ears of the officials of Yuzhang county. Their faces became whiter and they did not dare to speak. At the same time, they all had the same idea in their hearts.
It seems to be right to go to Prime Minister Cao this time.
Tens of thousands of troops are like iron walls, and the flags flutter in the array, revealing a sense of awe.
All of a sudden, tens of thousands of soldiers dodged to the left and right respectively, opening up a path like a wave splitting wave. In this passage, a huge Chinese flag was slowly surrounded by hundreds of riders. These hundreds of cavalry were all dressed in armor, and the flattery under their hips was fat and strong, revealing a strong spirit.
From these hundreds of riders, there is a strong general with broad arms, round waist and full face.
"Where is Sun Fu?" he cried
A big drink, as if hit a thunderbolt from the blue, scared Sun Fu to stand out from the crowd in a hurry.
"Here is the villain."
"Are you Sun Fu?" Asked Dianwei aloud.
"Yes, yes, I don't know what the general has to say?" Sun Fu went forward and bowed his head.
A look of disdain flashed in Dianwei's eyes: "Prime Minister Cao ordered you to come forward to meet him. Come here."
Sun Fu nodded and said that he followed Dian Weima's buttocks and walked in the direction of the Chinese army.
On both sides of the road were tall, murderous soldiers of Cao army. They looked serious and held bright weapons in their hands. Sun Fu only felt a real murderous spirit surrounding him, so he had to walk forward fearlessly, for fear that the blade would fall on him when he was not careful.
Sun Fu was frightened all the way and finally came to the central army.
"Prime minister, Sun Fu is here."
"Well, you are Sun Fu?"
Sun Fu didn't dare to look up when he heard the voice. He said in a low voice, "I'll meet the prime minister."
After that, Sun Fu would kneel down on the ground as soon as he lifted his robe, but he was suddenly held by a big hand.
When he looked up, he saw a man looking at himself with a smile. He was quite black, dressed in a red robe and wearing armor. At one glance, he would never think that he was the Prime Minister of the dynasty. However, he did not know how to get it. Sun Fu always felt a burst of fear.
"Ha ha, sun Taishou abandoned the secret and turned to the public. Those who knew the current affairs were outstanding people. What Cao appreciated most was a wise man like sun Taishou."
Cao Cao pulled Sun Fu up and said with a smile.
Sun Fu bowed down and said with fear: "Prime Minister Cao is the master of the Ming Dynasty. It is a good thing that the people of Jiangdong trust the prime minister under his command. The prime minister's new policy will surely enable the people of Jiangdong to bathe in grace."
Hearing the implication of Sun Fu's words, Cao Cao chuckled: "don't worry about sun Taishou. After unifying Jiangdong, the people of the six counties in Jiangdong will be exempted from one year's tax, and the tax will be reduced by half within three years. After all, the common people have suffered a lot under the leadership of Sun Fu, so they should naturally take care of themselves."Sun Fu was overjoyed: "thank you, Prime Minister."
Tax reduction and exemption can stabilize the people in Jiangdong and reduce their resistance to Cao's army. Even if Sun Fu didn't say so, Cao Cao would do it.
Sun Fu invited him: "I have already prepared banquets in the city, as well as pig and sheep wine, etc. to reward Mr. Wang. Please invite the prime minister to the city for a banquet."
Cao Cao nodded with a smile: "good, Sun Jun Shou or Yu Zhang sheriff, come in together."
"Thank you very much, Prime Minister."
Sun Fu was more grateful to Cao Cao and led him into the city.
Sun Fu wanted to go to Cao Cao, and the gentry in the city naturally fell in love with Cao Cao and prepared a banquet. Cao Cao, on the other hand, was smiling.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Cao Cao's face was red and red, and he sent away the officials and many noble families in the county with a smile. His face soon returned to normal, and he could not see that he was drunk.
"Where is Zhongde?"
"I will go to see Mr. Zhongde."
Dian Wei goes out and after a while Cheng Yu comes in.
"I don't know what the prime minister wants me to do?" Cheng Yu arched hands.
"Zhongde, do you think the time is right?" Cao Cao asked.
Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Sun CE's pacification of Jiangdong was originally a quick battle. The people of Jiangdong gentry were not satisfied. Otherwise, how could sun CE be assassinated?"
"It seems to me that the prime minister can send troops to Wu Jun and join with Xia Hou general to wipe out Jiangdong. As long as we can defeat Wu County and defeat Zhou Yu's main force, the Jiangdong gentry will surely fall and surrender to our army. " Cheng Yu has a clear idea.
