Chapter 1529 Cao Ang’s Three Stories (Page 1/1)

Sun Ce was skeptical. When he received news from Jiang Gan, Mrs. Bian was in Qi. Although she was under surveillance, it was not difficult to find her. As long as Cao Ang sent envoys to Beijing, it should not be difficult to find them. The situation in Yanzhou is not good, but it is not impossible to even send a few envoys to do it in detail.

Cao Ang's performance today is very abnormal. Even if he likes his younger sister Sun Shangying, he would not have taken the initiative to propose marriage at this time. Guo Jia just said that this matter was not yet up to date, and he was still waiting for the opportunity. Instead of believing that Guo Jia misjudged the situation, Sun Ce would rather believe that Cao Ang, the good boy, lied to everyone.

Sun Ce looked at Cao Ang and repeatedly considered his thoughts. "When did your nearest messenger come back?"

"Half a month ago." Cao Ang was worried. "After Yuan Benchu ​​crossed the river, Chenliu and Henan were full of rafts, and the river was controlled by him. It was difficult for my envoy to pass through his blockade without being discovered by him. Two months ago, his main force left Junyi, so I had the opportunity to send envoys. After they arrived in Chang'an, they did not find anyone at their original address. They asked about some old friends, but they said they didn't know."

"I'll ask for help you find out, I haven't paid attention to this information before." Sun Ce said.

"Thank you, General."

"If you can take them out of Chang'an, are you going to take them to Yanzhou or to Yizhou?"

"It would be better if I could send it to Yizhou. However, Shu Road is difficult and it is probably not easy to travel. I should just pick it up first. You can go to Nanyang first. I will contact my father to see if he can arrange for someone to come to Nanyang to pick him up."

"Give me a token, otherwise even if you can find it, Mrs. Bian might not believe me."

"Okay." Cao Ang took out a hand towel from his arms and sent it to Sun Ce with both hands. "This is the hand towel embroidered by Mrs. Bian for our brothers, each piece, and never leaves her. When Mrs. Bian saw this, she knew that I had arranged it."

Sun Ce took the scarf, looked in front of him, with a suspicious look on his face. "Are you really your brothers one by one?"

Cao Ang was speechless and had to pretend not to understand.

Sun Ce put away his hand towel. "What else do you want to say besides this?"

Cao Ang sighed and gritted his teeth. "The general may know that I am following the general in Yanzhou, Jianmu Academy, Bencao Cottage, and Martial Arts Hall."

Sun Ce nodded.

"The general must also know that if I don't draw a tiger, I will become a dog, and everything will be in shape and have no results."

Sun Ce nodded again, holding back his laughter. It was not that easy to accomplish something. It was not just that you could succeed by building a few houses and finding a few people. If you want to implement the new policy, not only social stability, but also corresponding talents and resources. As a model of the new policy, Nanyang Energy succeeded because Nanyang also had these three conditions: there was no major war after the second year of Chuping, and life was stable; talents like Huang Chengyan, daughter Yin Duan, and Zhang Zhongjing; Nanyang's sufficient medicinal materials, iron and other mineral resources were indispensable.

Yanzhou did not have such external conditions. Last year, Cao Ang was unable to control the epidemic, so he just opened up the ban and let the people escape into Yuzhou. In the case of Chenliu being in a separatist position and the Rencheng area was occupied by him, Cao Ang controlled the population not as many as Nanyang county, and eating was a problem, so he had no energy to develop the new policy. Yanzhou did not have talents like Huang Chengyan and Yin Duan, and Cao Ang was only one fellow villager Hua Tuo, so his Bencao tang was barely reasonable. But Hua Tuo had medical skills, but Yanzhou did not have the medicinal resources in Nanyang, and most of the medicines had to be purchased from Nanyang.

It is precisely because he knows that no matter how hard Cao Ang makes trouble, Yanzhou will not pose a threat to himself that Sun Ce will tolerate Cao Ang to continue to maintain independence. Compared with Cao Ang, Sun Ce pays more attention to Yizhou. Yizhou is relatively stable and has corresponding resources. As long as Cao Cao finds the right talents, the possibility of success is greater.

Seeing that Sun Ce was not talking, Cao Ang stopped talking several times and finally plucked up the courage. "Yanzhou household registration was lost, ordinary people entered Yuzhou, and most of the remaining population was embezzled by aristocratic families. Without their support, Yanzhou had no soldiers, no money, no food, and the door was open."

Sun Ce still couldn't help but laughed out loud. "What do you want to do?"

"Chen Gongtai has introduced three strategies for me, middle and lower."

"oh?"

"The best strategy is to leave Yanzhou to the general, I will go to Chang'an or Yizhou; the middle strategy is to ask General Sun for help; the worst strategy is to leave Yanzhou to Yuan Xiansi, I will go to Chang'an or Yizhou."

Sun Ce smiled. "Why don't you choose the best plan?"

Cao Ang didn't say a word, untied the leather bag with a seal from his waist, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Sun Ce. Sun Ce looked at Cao Ang in surprise. Cao Ang untied the leather bag again and took out the black rhinoceros seal inside. Sun Ce also knew that it was the governor's seal. Cao Ang was playing the real thing, at least it looked real.

But he didn't answer. He raised his eyelids and looked at Cao Ang. "Did Chen Gongtai say, which strategy I would choose?"

"He said the general would choose Ce."

"Why?"

"This strategy is the most important strategy for me, and the general is the best strategy for the general. The general is full of five states and half of the world has become a major trouble in the court. The three states of Yu, Jing and Yang are the foundation of the general's careful management, and Qing Xu is the right arm of the general. Yuan Shao's plan is to take it. Yanzhou is deserted and has not become an enemy of the general. The general must give him a handle, and the profit is small and the disaster is heavy. If he is with Yuan Xiansi, the general must fight with Yuan Xiansi again, which is not a good plan. Only by helping Yanzhou with one arm and using Yanzhou as a vassal will it be the most beneficial for the general."

Sun Ce calmly picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. "This is Chen Gongtai's opinion, what do you think?"

Cao Ang lowered his head, pondered for a moment, raised his head again, and said with a sigh: "If the general is willing to release my mother and sister, I want to choose the best strategy. In Shandong today, only the general and Yuan Xiansi are capable of fighting for the world. The general is talented and unique, and his martial arts are excellent, so I can't stand the enemy. Yuan Xiansi's four generations and three masters, with the land of Hebei and the help of party members, regardless of family background or personal ability, I am not an enemy. Between the two, life and death are in the hands of both of them, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, give up Yanzhou, or go to Chang'an, serve the emperor, or go to Yizhou, and reunite father and son."

Sun Ce said: "Do you think I will let you go?"

"If I were the general, I wouldn't let it go." Cao Ang smiled bitterly, "So, I came today and analyzed the general's intentions, whether to live or die, whether to let go or stay, only the general's wishes. If it really doesn't work, I am willing to be imprisoned as a general, accompany my mother and young sister to stay under the general's eaves. With the general's kindness, I think I will never starve to death."

"Oh, are you dependent on me?" Sun Ce sneered: "Cao Zixiu, I have no interest in your three strategies. I have one, you can consider it."

"Please give advice to the general."

"You marry into my Sun family. After getting married, if you want to go to Yanzhou, you can go to Yanzhou. You can ask for money and food. If you want to stay in Yuzhou, you can stay in Yuzhou. My sister works in the workshop and her monthly salary is several thousand, and it will be no problem to support you for the rest of her life."

Cao Ang's face turned red and he said for a long time: "This... Shu Ang can't obey his orders."

Sun Ce reached out and pushed the leather bag on the case back. "Don't rush to refuse. Go back and think about it first, listen to Chen Gong's opinions, and then make a decision."
