Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 590 Gu Yong and Lu Xun come to visit

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

It was Xun You.

Cao Cao asked, "Gongda, what are you doing?"

Xun You said: "If Zhang Sui can really send troops to Jiangdong, it will be a good thing."

"Although Zhang Sui took over Hebei, Xuzhou, and most of Yangzhou today."

"However, these places have experienced wars and chaos, and the people have died."

"It is certain that they are also short of food and fodder, and they are in urgent need of rest and recuperation."

"If Zhang Sui can still raise troops to Jiangdong this time, then their time to recuperate will be greatly shortened."

“This is a big plus for us.”

Looking at Ma Teng and Han Ze, Xun You said: "Now that we have the princes of Guanzhong returning, we also ask the envoys of Liangzhou to return."

"It can be said that our strength is not much different from Zhang Sui's."

"At this point, who of us wins depends on only one reason."

Xun You glanced at everyone and said, "Who can train the troops and prepare sufficient food and fodder as soon as possible?"

"Besides, Jiangdong is a land of barbarians."

"There are too few good farmlands there, miasma is everywhere, and there are too many bandits and Baiyue people."

"If they really take over, it's not a good thing."

"I think it is very likely that Zhang Sui will not send troops."

"People like Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Xin Pi, and Chen Gong, it's impossible for them not to see this."

"On the contrary, we want to instigate Jiang Dong to challenge Zhang Sui."

Looking at Cao Cao, Xun You said, "Mingsir, while Sun Ce is dead, you can send an envoy to Jiangdong to appoint the new heir of Jiangdong as Marquis of Wu and General Zhennan, and send a daughter as a marriage partner to stabilize Jiangdong."

"In this way, we can be considered to have established an alliance with Jiangdong."

"Sun Ce was severely wounded by Zhang Suiyi at Xiakou."

"This is a feud of life and death."

"After the new Lord of Jiangdong stabilizes Jiangdong, he will definitely avenge Zhang Sui."

"With Jiangdong involved, Zhang Sui couldn't rest and recuperate."

“This is another way to support us!”

After hearing what Xun You said, Xi Zhicai's eyes turned, and he walked to Cao Cao and said, "My lord, I second the motion!"

Cheng Yu and others also expressed their agreement.

Cao Cao saw this and said to Ma Teng, "General Ma, let's do this for now."

Seeing Cao Cao making this decision, Ma Teng could only say, "I'll listen to you, Sikong."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then said to Ma Teng, "Also, General Ma, is it appropriate to leave Ma Chao alone to guard Huaili?"

Cao Cao had heard before that Ma Teng did not particularly like Ma Chao, his eldest son out of wedlock.

The reason is simple. Ma Chao was born to Ma Teng and an ordinary woman when Ma Teng was young and poor.

Ma Chao's existence has always been a thorn in Ma Teng's heart.

If it weren't for Ma Chao's extraordinary bravery, Ma Teng would have disowned this illegitimate son long ago.

Cao Cao found it difficult to understand Ma Teng's thoughts.

Although Ma Chao is the eldest son of a concubine, he is also Ma Teng's biological son. What is there to dislike about him?
Just like his own illegitimate eldest son Cao Ang, he not only did not think he was a stain, but instead thought he was a treasure.

However, Cao Cao couldn't tell Ma Teng about this matter openly.

Hearing this question, Ma Teng smiled and said, "What's wrong with that?"

"This child has lived with his mother since he was young."

"After his mother died, he lived alone and was very strong."

"Besides, I have kept Pound, and my trusted generals are by his side to assist him."

"Very appropriate!"

When Cao Cao heard Ma Teng say this, he could only nod and say, "Okay."

Cao Cao then looked at Xun Yu and said, "Regarding Jiangdong affairs, follow what Gongda said."

"You must write an official document immediately, recommending the new ruler of Jiangdong as Marquis of Wu and General Zhennan." "Also, choose a daughter from Miaocai, adopt her under my name, and then send her to Jiangdong for marriage."

"Tell the new ruler of Jiangdong that I, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian were colleagues in the past, and we fought together against the traitor Dong Zhuo."

"Among the eleven princes, I only care about Sun Jian. The others are just mediocre people."

"I am optimistic about Jiang Dong. I hope Jiang Dong will not let me down."

Xun Yu responded.

Cao Cao then said to Ma Teng: "Since your son also wants to be sworn brothers with me, let's take them to meet him now."

Ma Teng smiled widely, following Cao Cao closely and said, "It is an honor for our Ma family!"

Shouchun.

At the south city gate.

Zhang Sui, along with Chen Deng, Chen Gong and others, waited for Zhao Yun to arrive in a hurry.

Before Zhang Sui followed the army led by Commander Chen Deng to attack Shouchun, he had discussed with Tian Feng: Zhang Sui intended to appoint Zhao Yun as the governor of Yangzhou and Zhang Liao as the commander of Guangling to defend the north of the Yangtze River.

Although Tian Feng felt that this matter still needed to be discussed with Ju Shou, Xin Pi and others.

However, not long after Zhang Sui set out with the army, Tian Feng wrote a letter to Ju Shou and others, asking Zhao Yun to rush to Shouchun to prepare to take over as the governor of Yangzhou.

This can also be considered as giving Zhang Sui face.

While guarding Xuzhou in the past few years, Tian Feng often reflected on how he and Yuan Shao got along.

After all, he himself felt that he was too tough.

As someone else's subject, sometimes you also need to please and compromise appropriately.

Zhao Yun, just consider this as your compromise with Zhang Sui.

After receiving the order and learning that Shouchun had been captured, Zhao Yun instructed his generals to be vigilant against possible sneak attacks from Jiangdong at Ruxu Port, and then hurried to Shouchun with dozens of his personal soldiers.

Zhang Sui and Zhao Yun stayed in Shouchun for two days.

Zhang Sui selected three beautiful concubines from the captured concubines of Yuan Shu as Zhao Yun's women, and forced everyone to be witnesses, showing that Zhao Yun had taken the three women.

Two days later, Zhang Sui left Zhang Xun, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and Xu Dan to serve as deputies to Zhao Yun, the acting governor of Yangzhou. Zhang Sui followed Chen Deng, took Huang Yueying, Qin Lang and other soldiers back to Xia Pi, the new capital of Xuzhou.

Tian Feng had already been waiting with the Xuzhou officials.

Zhang Sui left Chen Deng and Chen Gong to report the battle of Shouchun to Tian Feng, while he took Huang Yueying and Qin Lang back to his residence.

Mrs. Du is about to give birth after all.

Zhang Sui was also a little worried.

Fortunately, Tian Feng had already asked his master's wife to stay at Zhang Sui's home.

The master's wife prepared a midwife and a doctor at home in advance, just in case.

With his master's wife around, Zhang Sui was not so worried.

After a day's rest, early the next morning, Zhang Sui and Huang Yueying finished their exercises. Zhang Sui left Huang Yueying to continue sleeping while he rushed to the government office alone.

He wanted to see if Tian Feng had any special arrangements.

If not, he would plan to accompany Huang Yueying and Mrs. Du these days.

When I arrived at the government office, I saw a carriage parked not far to the left of the gate.

A dozen big men surrounded the carriage.

The other two men in brocade clothes stood in the open space not far from the door.

He is about thirty years old, looks gentle and has the temperament of a scholar.

Zhang Sui thought of someone.

Before I traveled through time, I watched an anime called "The Qin Dynasty", in which Zhang Liang's second senior brother was Yan Lu.

The other one looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a somewhat dull expression.

He was still holding a bamboo tube tightly in his hand.

At this time, his mouth opened and closed, and he kept muttering something in a low voice.

There were beads of sweat all over his forehead.

Zhang Sui looked at the two of them meaningfully.
