Sun Ce actually did not tell Cao Zhi everything. On the surface, he came to Wancheng with his future father-in-law to join in the fun, but secretly he came to win over Lu Kang. Yuan Shu and Sun Jian had already made an agreement, and Yuan Shu helped Sun Jian ascend to the position of governor of Yuzhou.
Sun Jian later ambushed Yuan Shu and professed his vassalship. At the same time, Sun Jian helped Yuan Shu win over officials from various counties in Yangzhou. Yuan Shu's ultimate goal was to squeeze out Chen Wen, control Yangzhou, appoint one of his confidants as the governor of Yangzhou, and bring Yangzhou under his rule.
.In this way, he will have the strength of two states, and it can be said that his strength far exceeds that of his bastard brother Yuan Shao.
They planned to win over the first person in Yangzhou, Lu Kang. After all, Lu Kang had extensive connections in the Jiangdong area and had a special status. To win over him would be equivalent to gaining half of Yangzhou. So Yuan Shu and Sun Jian took advantage of Lu Kang's opportunity to encircle and suppress the Jiangxia barbarians and sent Sun Ce first.
Let's take a stand and test Lu Kang's reaction. Yuan Shu even prepared conditions for Sun Ce to win over. As long as Lu Kang agreed to cooperate with Yuan Shu, the position of Yangzhou governor would be his.
It was also unlucky for Sun Ce. After Sun Ce waited for Chen Wen, Qiao Xuan, and Lu Kang to part ways on bad terms last night, he hurriedly went to find Lu Kang.
Lu Kang always thought highly of himself. He had always looked down upon Sun Jian, who made his fortune through military exploits. He thought that such a person was just a simple-minded and reckless man, and he also looked down upon Sun Ce. At first, he was even a little surprised at how Qiao Xuan could treat such a person like him.
He thought Sun Jian from Changsha was not on the same level as him.
But later he found out about the engagement between Da Qiao and Sun Ce, and he felt relieved. However, the anger he harbored never came out, and he didn't expect that the ungrateful Sun Ce would immediately attack him.
Lu Kang didn't like Sun Ce at that time. What he hated most was that Sun Ce was touching his hair. Lu Kang almost called him a sissy, but his self-cultivation prevented him from doing so.
But when Sun Ce expressed his intention to come, Lu Kang became angry. What do you think of me as a narcissist? You want me to be the governor of Yangzhou and want to join you.
At this time, Lu Kang showed his good political literacy and certain moral sentiments. He not only effectively rejected Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's kindness, but also sarcastically said to Sun Ce, "For a person like your father who comes from the working class, he has no intention of doing anything."
There should be some wishful thinking of becoming a governor."
These words undoubtedly hurt Sun Ce's self-esteem. Sun Ce was still at a very young age, so he immediately fought back. In the subsequent conversation between the two, Lu Kang was sarcastic and sarcastic, but Sun Ce refused to give in, so the two people quarreled.
stand up.
In the end, the young Sun Ce must have been unable to defeat Lu Kang verbally and suffered a slight loss. In Lu Kang's territory, Sun Ce did not dare to go too far and could only leave in despair.
But Sun Ce didn't think it would be better, so he wanted to just leave. He didn't want to meet Cao Zhi today, and he unexpectedly gained something. He thought that if he couldn't win Lu Kang, it would be good to pick up Cao Zhi. At least he could move more chess pieces in the future.
.
Sun Ce had a good idea. He didn't want to run into the Cao Zhi who was a treacherous person trained in the 21st century. This eighteen-year-old Sun Ce could play with the Cao Zhi who came back after two thousand years.
When Cao Zhi heard that Sun Ce was canvassing votes, he knew that his opportunity had come. Cao Zhi jumped up from the stone chair, held Sun Ce's shoulders, and said like a philistine: "Brother Bo Fu Xian"
To tell you the truth, I have long concealed the truth from Lu Kang, an old-fashioned man. My respected father and General Yuan helped me to protect the land of Chaohu. I will fully support Sun Jian, and Sun Jian will secure his position as the governor of Yuzhou."
"Okay!" Sun Ce also retreated, high-fiving Cao Zhi and saying, "That's it!"
A pair of scoundrels, two brats, just blackmailed a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. The most despicable person was Cao Zhi. He knew clearly that Sun Ce's father, Comrade Sun Jian, was about to die soon, but still guaranteed his support to Sun Ce. "Sun Jian"
, Grand Administrator Sun has secured his position as the governor of Yuzhou! "How can a dead man become the governor of Yuzhou? Sun Ce didn't know the trap of Cao Zhi's wording.
Cao Zhi also had a good idea and sought the support of Sun Jian and his son, as well as Yuan Shu. Not only would his position as governor be more stable, but Chaohu would also continue to be under his control. However, things in the world are often unpredictable, and blessings await Cao Zhi.
It's a disaster, who can know?
Afterwards, Cao Zhi chatted with Sun Ce for a long time. Cao Zhi explained to Sun Ce all the personnel arrangements for Li Hu to be appointed as the magistrate of Chaohu County and a group of officials. Worried that he would be confused, Cao Zhi also specially got pen and ink and wrote a charter.
Give the list to Sun Ce.
That night, Sun Ce was happy to leave. Lu Kang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he would concentrate on dealing with Cao Zhi and ask him to evacuate the troops and barbarians stationed in Chaohu. Recently, he had received information that Chaohu had
A large number of barbarians have moved in, and the trend is still growing. Cao Zhi has resettled the barbarians in accordance with the eight policies for controlling barbarians announced in court that day. This is not bad, Chaohu has not much land resources, and Cao Zhi still distributes them to the barbarians.
Land, how could an inferior race like the barbarians deserve to own his land in Lujiang? He wanted to stop the development of the situation as soon as possible.
Lu Kang felt regret at this time. He should not have impulsively agreed to Cao Zhi's "Eight Strategies to Control Barbarians" pilot area. Now that he regretted it, he could not come out to Cao Zhi openly, so he could only turn to Chen Wen for help.
Let’s discuss it with Cao Zhi.
Unexpectedly, Cao Zhi, a bad boy, would not give him any chance. Sun Ce left in front, and he also came to say goodbye, saying that he would leave tomorrow. The reason was that he had not returned to Liyang for more than a year and was homesick. He wanted to go home quickly.
Look at my wife.
Lu Kang secretly scolded young people today for being so shameless, even saying "missing my wife". But he had to let him go, because they were not his subordinates, and they would soon be on equal terms with him.
Level.
The next day, Li Ru also happened to arrive, and Cao Zhi quickly asked him to write a letter introducing the situation of the Black Mountain Army in detail, and then sent a fast horse to send it to Cao Cao.
Li Ru wrote all the information about Bai Rao's Black Mountain Army in the letter in detail. He even had several female disciples he had thought of. How loyal and loving they were to Bai Rao. The female disciple named Yu'er
How beautiful she is, even Li Ru elaborated on this kind of information.
At the same time, Cao Zhi himself wrote a letter and sent it to Danyang, informing Ni Heng to transport a batch of explosives and mines to Cao Cao's army. Cao Zhi could not help Cao Cao in other aspects. Cao Zhi could still provide cutting-edge weapons at the time.
It will help a little, but the quantity will not be very large. Due to the shortage of raw materials, Cao Zhi was consumed on a large scale in the Battle of Wancheng. Mi Heng, who has been responsible for manufacturing gunpowder in Danyang, had already written a letter telling Cao Zhi about the shortage of raw materials.
However, Cao Zhi could not arrange the personnel around him and was busy with the war, so he had not been able to arrange the matter well. After Cao Zhi obtained Danyang, he was ready to make careful plans to solve the gunpowder supply chain problem.
