After the practice banquet, everyone naturally went back to their own houses and looked for their mothers.

Before Sun Ce was about to leave, he brought Zhou Yu to announce an important appointment.

"Governor?" Zhou Yu had never heard of this official position.

"Simply put, the defense and military affairs of Jiujiang and Lujiang counties are all left to you to be responsible for. If you get the order to fight, the direction of the attack will be given by me, but how to fight will be completely determined by you." Sun Ce explained.

"Full authority to appoint?" Zhou Yu understood that the governor had a great power.

"You can think so, but it's only military and government affairs cannot interfere." Sun Ce nodded.

"What if there is a conflict between government affairs and my arrangement?" Zhou Yu asked. If you don't understand this, then the governor will be very frustrated. Everything depends on the expression of the prefects of the two counties.

"That..." Sun Ce obviously hadn't considered this situation and became a little confused.

"In this way, you can ask and the other party will explain it to you. If you feel satisfied, then just do it. If you are not satisfied, negotiate a change. If the agreement is inappropriate, you can write a letter to Bo Fu." Zhu Xin came forward.

"Some trouble..." Zhou Yu was somewhat dissatisfied. He was either really dissatisfied or wanted more power. He wanted to be a chief official and not take more benefits. He really thought she was stupid?

"The letters are only two days back and forth, and the policy implementation is not something that can't be implemented for a few months, so it's not troublesome!" Zhu Xin would not let her take advantage, mainly because she really can't let the governor have too much right to interfere in local government affairs.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he really become a prince? His and Sun Ce’s idea was the legion commander system, not the princes who were enfeoffed!

"The supplies and money and grain in the two counties are of course given priority for you." Sun Ce stated, "The subsequent regular warehouse settlement will also develop here one after another. Once the war begins, money and grain will not be a problem first."

"Then how many soldiers can I expand my enrollment?" Zhou Yu asked back. At present, the soldiers and horses left behind in the two counties are only 8,000.

Among them, there are 3,000 Lujiang County and 5,000 Jiujiang County. Among these 5,000, there are 2,000 to guard Quanjiao to prevent the enemies in Xuzhou.

"At present, I can only promise that the generals of the two counties can be expanded to 10,000 people." Sun Ce replied.

"There are more than 10,000 troops on Cao Cao's side!" Zhou Yu reminded that the main purpose was to expand the enrollment.

"When they go south, we will also go north to support it." Sun Ce was not fooled. Besides, if he beat Zhou Yu, wouldn't she have no chance to play at all?

"Bo Fu... are you still planning to go into battle?" Obviously, Zhou Yu also realized Sun Ce's true intention.

"I don't know anything..." Sun Ce would certainly not admit it, but she was indeed not very good at lying.

"But it is true. When the enemy attacks a large number of troops, we will definitely go north to support it. With her ability, it will not take much time to go north. If the other party just comes to harass it, then the thousands of people on your side will be almost the same." Zhu Xin had to help his wife.

Besides, there are also powerful generals like Huang Zhong who are left behind here.

Unless the other party produces a strong man like Lu Bu, three or five generals will not be able to stop Huang Zhong.

He was even really angry and shot an arrow from a distance. What general can't be killed?

"Well, that's it!" Zhou Yu also knew Sun Ce's temper and didn't bother with anything.

Things were determined like this. After deducting Lu Xun, he finally followed Sun Ce back, and Lu Meng and Zhu Ran were kept.

In addition, Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, Liang Gang, Li Feng, Chen Lan and Liu Xun who surrendered also stayed under Zhou Yu's command to listen to it.

As for civil servants, Yuan Yin and Yan Xiang stayed, and Yuan Yao and Yang Hong followed Sun Ce back to Wu County.

I also learned from Yuan Shu that Yuan Yao was not her biological son, but adopted son from Yuan Yin.

In fact, this is also good. With this relationship, when Yuan Shu became emperor, it could not affect Yuan Yao.

The news of Yuan Shu's defeat naturally spread quickly.

It took about two days to get to Cao Cao's side, and it was only three days later to get to Yuan Shao's side.

"Is Yuan Shu beheaded by Sun Ce?" Cao Cao listened to Xun You's report with great interest.

Since Xun You's husband Yin Yu passed away, she has become a workaholic.

"Yes, Yuan Shu's other subordinates surrendered to Sun Ce." Xun You nodded, "But it is hard to say whether it is true or false. If Sun Ce really did that, there is no reason not to send Yuan Shu's head to Xuchang. Not to mention, sending the living here will have greater benefits, and there is no need to behead him!"

"With Yuan Shu's personality, would she surrender to Sun Ce?" Cao Cao felt it was impossible, especially when Sun Ce was a general under Yuan Shu's command earlier. How could she allow someone who wants face?

"But in fact, there is only this explanation. Even if it is not, we can use it." Xun You replied.

Yuan Shu brought more than 100,000 troops to come, but King Chen's army turned against him, making Cao Cao less favorable.

He obtained more than 100,000 troops at once, most of them were left as military farms, and a small number of elite troops were added to the army.

The entire army expanded by more than 30,000, and Cao Cao's strength could be said to have greatly increased. I would also like to thank Yuan Shu, the boy who gave money.

"If you want to Yangzhou, 30,000 new army cannot move. The main force goes south, but without 10,000 troops cannot move. But if you lead 10,000 troops south, then defense will become empty, especially these 30,000 troops are not very stable." Cao Cao shook his head.

If she had to go south, she would rather choose Xuzhou in the southeast. In other aspects, Zhang Xiu from Nanyang.

I had promised to surrender before, but who knew that she had an abnormally ill aunt.

I went over and asked her children where they were, but I was actually said to be an insult to have children.

In the end, he bewitched Zhang Xiu's resistance, and in the end he not only killed her general Dian Wei, but also her eldest son Cao Ang.

Yes, Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi are adopted by the clan, but they are their own children!

Revenge must be taken!

Thanks to Dian Wei and a daughter Dian Man, otherwise I would have been worried about Dian Wei Juehou.

Dianman's strength and potential are stronger than Dian Wei, and he is considered a successor.

"First Nanyang, then Xuzhou, and finally Yangzhou. Lu Bu's position in Xuzhou is not stable, which is a good opportunity. But we should move quickly, otherwise Yuan Shao from the north would be unable to wait." Cao Cao immediately made a decision.

Compared to Sun Ce, Yuan Shao from the north is her biggest concern!

At the same time, Yuan Shao from the north had already begun to carry out a final general attack on Gongsun Zan.

As long as he comes to another one or two years, he will be able to completely occupy Hebei. At that time, he will have to expand his territory and go south.

"The road is dead..." Yuan Shao sighed a little. Although the brother and sister are not in harmony, they are half-sisters.

"The situation is a bit strange. Yuan Shu may not have died. Instead, he surrendered to Sun Ce by pretending to die." Tian Feng said.

"Surrendering to her old subordinates, she is getting back to life..." Yuan Shao still trusts Tian Feng very much. This old man is not likable in deficiencies and has good reputation and abilities. Unfortunately, he is not likable in his mouth!
