Not long after, a person walked in at the door.

"My lord, gentlemen, the future is late."

"Haha, it's not too late, Anmin! We're talking about you, so you're here." Cao Cao pulled Cao Anmin into the middle of the crowd.

Everyone is also well aware.

The key to quickly defeating Yuan Shu in this battle lies in the rapid defeat of Yuan Yao and Ji Ling.

And Yuan Yao and Ji Ling died at the hands of Cao Anmin at the same time.The bloody battle in Xuchang and the flood of the Baihe River can all reflect Cao Anmin's ability to command troops, which is no less than Cao Ren and Xu Huang, the famous generals of the Cao army.

"Oh, I don't know what uncle said about me?"

"I intend to appoint you as the prefect of Jiujiang to guard Shouchun, in case Sun Ce of Jiangdong and Liu Biao of Jingzhou."

"What!" Cao Anmin exclaimed in surprise.

"Why, isn't Anmin willing?"

"Uncle, An Min has little knowledge and experience. This Jiujiang is a battleground for military strategists. I'm afraid it's not right for me to guard it."

"Anmin is too modest. In terms of ability, you are no less than Zixiao Gongming and the others, and you even beat them. In terms of talent and learning, you are more than several times better than them. Sandbox chess and even military academies are good things that benefit the country and the people. It can be seen from this that the Jiujiang prefect really belongs to you."

"This..." Cao Anmin didn't expect that he would change so quickly.

In just a few months in this era, I have already transformed, from a son-in-law to a commander-in-chief, and now a prefect.

Although this strategy is in line with the middle policy strategy that Yao Guangxiao formulated for himself, Jiujiang is far away from the Central Plains, and Cao Cao's main enemy in the future will be Yuan Shao instead of Sun Ce.

Therefore, this Jiujiang is only a place of defense.

Unable to attack, just defending is completely inconsistent with his style.

"Okay, it's settled like this. When I return to Xuchang to play the Son of Heaven, I will immediately issue an imperial edict and canonize it."

Cao Anmin couldn't refuse politely, so he could only embrace the order.

"Congratulations, young master, for being crowned the prefect." All the counselors also shouted in unison.

"Okay, this matter is settled, and the army will be in charge in three days."

"As ordered!"

Everyone dispersed, only Cao Cao and Cao Anmin were in the big tent.

"It's getting late, Anmin is tired, let's go to rest earlier!"

"Uncle, then I will take my leave first." Cao Anmin gave a salute and was about to go out when Cao Cao behind him stopped him.

"Let's go to the prison first! Next time you have to explain something to Uncle Wei, don't make claims, understand?"

When Cao Anmin heard the words, cold sweat broke out on his back, like a mouse whose tail was stepped on, feeling uncomfortable all over.Of course he knew who was in the prison, and he also knew what Cao Cao meant.

Since ancient times, emperors have not liked smart courtiers, because such people are not easy to control and are good at seeing through the emperor's heart; but emperors also do not like stupid courtiers, because it is too difficult for people who are too stupid to speak.

"Anmin knows."

Leaving the big tent, Cao Anmin didn't delay, and under the leadership of his own soldiers, he went directly to Shouchun Prison.

When Yuan Shu retreated, in order to cause trouble for Cao Cao, he released all the criminals in the prison.

In the prison right now, there are only two people living alone, looking cold and frightening.

"Clatter!" The door chain clattered, awakening Yao Guangxiao and Yang Hong who were sleeping.

"Who?"

"Are you going to kill us?" Yang Hong froze suddenly, looking at the door, his teeth trembling slightly.

"Impossible, if you want to kill him, kill him early." Since hitting the Huaihe River, Yao Guangxiao exposed Liu Bei, even though a pot of stinky water was poured on Liu Bei.But everything he did was behind Cao Cao's back. In a fit of anger, Cao Cao imprisoned him and Yang Hong in the dungeon until Cao Anmin came.

"Sir, it's hard work." Cao Anmin looked at Yao Guangxiao, who had sunken eye sockets, feeling uncomfortable.

The plan is his own thinking, the execution is his execution, but he is also the one who suffers in the end.As the host, Cao Anmin felt a little guilty deep in his heart.

"Since you have committed yourself to the lord's door, you should act according to the lord's order, even if you are smashed to pieces."

Cao Anmin helped Yao Guangxiao up, and took another look at Yang Hong who was next to him: "This is Mr. Yang Hong, the Tai Fu under Emperor Zhong's command?"

Seeing Yao Guangxiao in such a state, Yang Hong naturally knew who it was.Now, he is already a street mouse and is cast aside by others.If you want to survive, unless you hug one thigh tightly, the saliva outside can drown you.

"Young Master, you are joking. The Zhong family is an overreacher, a big traitor, and I just gave up my life to serve the thief. Now that the thief is dead, I have nothing to worry about."

Cao Anmin laughed out loud when he heard the words, for such a shameless person, he only served Liu Bei before, and now he added one more person.

"Why did you suddenly come to Shouchun?"

Cao Anmin's expression was much darker: "Don't mention it, my uncle gave me a difficult errand, and I'm really hurting because of it!"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"The position of the prefect of Jiujiang."

Yao Guangxiao's eyes lit up, and his lips trembled slightly.

For others, Jiujiang is a land of wars and disasters, but for Cao Anmin, this is the platform for him to take off.

At the beginning, when I proposed three strategies, I thought that it would not be possible to carry out in a short period of time, but I didn't expect it to come all of a sudden.If this situation continues, it is believed that Cao Anmin will continue to grow and become the only master of this land in the near future.

A minister in troubled times, even if he dies nine times, he doesn't hope for his ambition.

"Mr. Anmin, although Yang Hong has little talent and learning, he is doing the work of a dog and a horse with this humble body."

Yang Hong was also excited. Looking at the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, there was a sheriff in his early twenties who held great power.

He has already made a mistake once, and he doesn't want to make a second mistake.

"Haha, Mr. Yang, I have something to entrust to you right now."

Chapter 49

The six counties in Jiangdong are all in the territory of Chu State in the Warring States Period. First, there was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who shocked the world, and then Sun Ce, the little overlord, ruled Jiangdong in his weak crown.The Jiangdong family all gave their full support, and Sun Ce's wings gradually flourished for a while, and it seemed that he swallowed Jingxiang and reproduced the former territory of Wu State.

The emperor issued an edict to punish the thieves, and the princes from all over the world gathered to respond.Sun Ce was supposed to respond from the south, but he hesitated on the grounds that the Shanyue bandit army was attacking.After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu, he sent tens of thousands of troops to the border of Lujiang River, and seemed to be planning to annex Huainan.

A lone boat sailed down the river and came directly to Sun Ce's base camp, Wu Jun.

The six counties in the east of the Yangtze River are sparsely populated, and the mountains are rampant. Most of the Han people live in the state capitals on both sides of the Yangtze River.Wu County is close to the Yangtze River, has a large population, and is closer to Xuzhou and Huainan. In addition, Sun Ce moved the government office to Wu County in order to promote wealth. With vigorous development, Wu County has become the most prosperous place among the six counties in Jiangdong.
