While Mu Yi was squatting in Chang'an handling government affairs, Cao Cao, who was in Donglai, finally received news about Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was dead, and the Yuan leader who once commanded the heroes was dead.

"Benchu ​​died in battle..." Cao Cao said a little decadently. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were both dead. His childhood playmate was now the only one left, which made him feel a little dazed.

"Dong dong dong!" The sound of knocking on the door woke up Cao Cao.

"You are..." Cao Cao opened the door, only to find Ma Er and Bai He in yellow scarves.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the captain of the personal guard next to Mu Yi.

"My lord has an order, Cao Mengde will go to Chang'an immediately and serve as the order of Chang'an!" Ma Er handed over a token.

"Chang'an Order?" Cao Cao was a little confused.

"We will pick you up in three days! Be prepared!" Ma Er did not give Cao Cao any more room to hear the news, and turned around and left. They came back not only for Cao Cao.

"Recruit me? Mu Zhengping, you are so bold!" Cao Cao Mosuo sighed and turned back to the house with the token in his hand.

"Madam, in three days, I will leave for Chang'an to take up my post, and Zixiu and the others will be left to you!"

Cao Cao had already made a decision. He would succeed as a king or lose as a bandit. After a complete defeat, he had long been disqualified from making a choice. Moreover, he believed in the future described by Xun Yu. Once upon a time, his dream was only to conquer the West as a general.

Although I am not willing to give in, is my talent really buried in the daily necessities of life?

Learn martial arts well and become a member of the emperor's family. This is what most people think.

No one would go into seclusion if they had no other choice.

In the area south of the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu was handling government affairs, and Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were also there. Sun Ce was very lucky. After they watched the battle from the Yellow River, they happened to meet Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and Sun Ce easily took them under his command.

With the help of these two people, Zhou Yu could be freed from the messy government affairs in Yangzhou and have time to think about how to divide the world.

"It's too difficult!" Zhou Yu closed his eyes and could see the flags on both sides of the Yellow River and the two armies fighting.

If you want to divide the world into two parts, it is impossible to have Yangzhou alone. But the problem is that it is difficult for Jingzhou and Yizhou to unite. It is a pity to abandon Jiaozhou as tasteless food.

No matter how Zhou Yu simulated, he could not find a path to victory.

"Gong Jin!" Sun Ce ran into the Government Affairs Office carrying a tiger on his shoulders.

"I caught a tiger today, how about we eat the tiger tonight!" Sun Ce asked excitedly.

"A tiger whose inner energy leaves the body?"

Zhou Yu frowned visibly. Logically speaking, Yangzhou had already eliminated a number of hidden dangers before, so how could there still be such a scourge as tigers?

Compared to the resurgence of the beast tide, he believed that it was Sun Ce who went to other places to defeat him.

"Where did you get it?" Zhou Yu asked cautiously.

Sun Ce raised his head and shouted haha. Zhou Yu's eyes twitched, and he knew that Sun Ce must have gone somewhere else.

"You should throw it in the kitchen first. I have something to ask you!" Zhou Yu sighed and said helplessly. He knew that his sworn brother was out of tune, but to such an extent that he was also very careless. Tired.

"Oh!" Sun Ce left like the wind, and then turned back like the wind.

Zhou Yu said hello to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and then checked himself to make sure that he had not put his spiritual talent on his head. Zhou Yu took Sun Ce and walked towards the Yangtze River.

Before Zhou Yu could speak, Sun Ce asked first.

"Gong Jin, what do you think we should do with Mu Zhengping from the north?"

Zhou Yu was surprised for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. He had no choice. That was no longer a problem that could be solved by pure ingenuity.

“Let’s clear up the internal problems first, and we’ll talk about the matters in the north later!”

"What problems do we have internally?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu in surprise. He felt that there was harmony inside.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce helplessly. Yangzhou is almost growing into a four-headed snake now, so there is no problem.

Zhou Yu was actually surprised. He didn't know how Sun Quan managed to win Lu Su's allegiance after he was in coma.

In today's Yangzhou, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang occupy one county, which is their vanguard in Yangzhou to defend against the enemy, leaving three counties of Sun Jian, one county of Sun Quan, and one county of Sun Ce.

Just Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan are fine. After all, the three of them are father and son, and they have a harmonious relationship.

Mainly those aristocratic families in Yangzhou, the internal mess is more than a mess.

In addition, there are also the territories that Sun Jian occupied from Jingzhou, which can cause internal chaos. Otherwise, if Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, three top advisers, govern a state together, there will still be so many troubles. .

Under Zhou Yu's gaze, Sun Ce coughed twice, and then chose to change the topic. Since Zhou Yu said yes, it means yes.

"Should we set up defenses on the river?" After concentrating on his intelligence, Sun Ce's intelligence also improved somewhat.

"No, Mu Zhengping also needs to rest and recuperate. He swallowed Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou in one go. Their territory has expanded to the limit in a short period of time!"

Zhou Yu shook his head. Of course, he was not completely defenseless. He had already done all the necessary defenses, but high-density defenses were completely unnecessary.

"Don't they have no opponents in the north? Moreover, after annexing Yuan Shao's troops, they should have more troops, right?" Sun Ce scratched his head, expressing his confusion.

Zhou Yu nodded with some relief. Sun Ce has really made progress and can think about problems. This is great progress.

"Sometimes, problems don't come from the outside, but from the inside!" At this point, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh. The temple demons are strong, the Chi Qian bastards are many, and the internal problems in Yangzhou are no smaller than those in the north.

There are too few people who can consider the overall situation. Even Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are a little narrow-minded. Only Lu Su in Yangzhou can keep up with him.

"I don't understand at all!" Sun Ce's eyes were in a trance. He had never understood this aspect.

Yangzhou was already completely under their control, so how could there be internal problems? He felt that everywhere he went, there were good people.

Seeing that Sun Ce didn't understand, Zhou Yu also sighed. Is this topic still too far away for Sun Ce?

Knowing people, not knowing their faces, but not their hearts. Surrendering on the surface does not mean surrendering on the inside.

"Let's put it this way, Mu Zhengping's territory is too big now, and he needs to maintain stability in more places, so he needs a large number of people to govern. After all, war is only the first step, and subsequent harvesting of fruits is the actual meaning of war."

To put it bluntly, there were too many officials needed, and Mu Yi didn't have enough manpower at all. Even with many surrendered aristocratic families, Mu Yi had to activate them first. After all, without a perfect social order, people would easily turn into beasts.

Even military generals like Xu Huang and Zhou Cang were forced to serve as governors of counties and counties, which shows how short of personnel Mu Yi had.

Especially in the Yuzhou area, too many aristocratic families were cut off at once. Even if a lot of officials were transferred from Qingzhou, the work would not be able to be carried out for a while.
