Gan Ning on the other side saw Tai Shi Ci asking for orders to go out to guard the place, so naturally he was not willing to lag behind.
"Captain, I am willing to go out to guard Niuzhu for the Commander!"
Yuan Yao smiled: "Xingba, have you been to Niuzhu?"
Gan Ning scratched his head: "I haven't been there."
""This time I came ashore from Spring Valley. It's relatively close from there to here. "
Yuan Yao shook his head: "I have been to Niuzhu. The terrain there is low-lying. Although it can stop the enemy north of the Yangtze River, it cannot stop the enemy on the bank."
"Huang Gai has already taken control of Shicheng, so there is little point in defending Niuzhu."
"Besides... even if Sun Ce really raises his troops to cause trouble, I have no intention of using my father's army to deal with him!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt awe-inspiring.
"Can……"
Gan Ning was still a little unwilling.
"It's nothing to worry about. In my opinion, Chungu is more important than Uzogisa."
"If a war breaks out, our army will definitely be out of food and grass, and we will have to rely on ships to transport food and grass from Jiangxi. Spring Valley must not be lost!"
Looking at Gan Ning's bitter look, Yuan Yao smiled again and said:
"However, I will definitely not let you serve as a grain transport officer. If there is ever going to be a war with Sun Ce, you must quickly occupy Wuhu and open up the connection between our army and Danyang City!"
Gan Ning was finally happy: "I will obey your orders!"
…
Although no one is sure that Sun Ce will definitely rebel, but as the old saying goes, you must be on guard against others!
Sun Ce had already made moves to mobilize his troops, so it was naturally impossible for Yuan Yao to stand still.
After the discussion, the generals returned to their camps. They all regarded Sun Ce as an imaginary enemy and prepared to implement new arrangements.
This is also the result Yuan Yao wants.
On the school field, only Yuan Yao and Chen Jiao were left.
Seeing that Chen Jiao hadn't left yet, Yuan Yao asked curiously: "Chen Gongcao, do you have anything else to ask me about?"
Chen Jiao still looked worried: "I really have two things that I don't understand. Please answer my questions!"
Yuan Yao raised his eyebrows and became interested immediately.
Speaking of which, Chen Jiao has been working under Yuan Yao for several months, but because he was "invited" from his hometown in Guangling by someone sent by Yuan Yao, Chen Jiao's attitude towards Yuan Yao has always been quite cold.
Although Chen Jiao has done his job conscientiously since he became the Danyang meritorious officer, the relationship between him and Yuan Yao is more like an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship rather than a relationship of loyalty.
Usually, if anything happened, he would tell Yuan Yao through Yuan Huan, the county magistrate, and he almost never took the initiative to talk to Yuan Yao.
Therefore, seeing him take the initiative to speak, Yuan Yao immediately realized that the opportunity to conquer this person had arrived.
"What's wrong with Ji Bi?"
"As far as I know, there are quite a lot of Sun family members under Mr. Yuan who hold important positions!"
"For example, Sun Xiang, the prefect of Runan, Sun Bi, the prefect of Jiujiang, and Wu Jing, the prefect of Guangling. The first two are Sun Ce's uncles, and the latter is Sun Ce's uncle!"
"There are also Zhu Zhi, the prefect of Wu Commandery, Cheng Pu, the captain of Wu Commandery, and Huang Gai, the commander of Shicheng, who were all former subordinates of Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian."
"If we include Sun Ce's prefect of Kuaiji, there are now five prefects served by Sun's pro-party members alone, and the total number of prefects under the control of Yuan Gong is only nine!"
"Didn't Mr. Yuan realize that Sun's pro-party forces are a bit too huge?"
"Why not curb them, but instead grant these people official titles again and again to increase their power?"
When Yuan Yao heard this question, he was not surprised at all.
Because of this question, Yuan Yao also wanted to ask Yuan Shu what his pig brain was thinking!
There are only eight or nine counties in total (the three counties of Yuzhang are temporarily counted as one), and the Sun family has actually served as the head of more than half of the counties!
Although the prefects of Runan, Jiujiang, and Guangling led by Sun Xiang, Sun Bi, and Wu Jing do not have much real power, but which normal person can do such a shameless operation?
The only normal explanation is that Yuan Shu was smart enough to believe that after Sun Jian's death, the Sun family's relatives and relatives were scattered and could be divided and disintegrated by him using his high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
And even if Sun Ce swept Jiangdong, the arrogant Yuan Shu never believed that Sun Ce could inherit his father's family legacy at such a young age and reunite the Sun family's relatives.
However, in the official history, Sun Ce easily got this opportunity through Yuan Shu's treacherous act of proclaiming himself emperor.
With just a few letters, Sun Ce made Sun Bi, Wu Jing and others abandon their posts in Nantou!
Even now that Yuan Shu has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, Sun Ce is still someone who has high hopes from Sun Bi, Wu Jing and others!
After a long time, Yuan Yao said quietly: "I also want to know the answer to this question!"
"But I can only say that my father valued the talents of these relatives of the Sun family and entrusted them with important tasks."
"I can't say much else."
Chen Jiao was not surprised by Yuan Yao's answer, he just nodded with understanding.
For him, if it weren't for Yuan Huan's persuasion, he would never have accepted Yuan Yao's appointment.
But after staying with Yuan Yao for some time, Chen Jiao gradually discovered that Yuan Yao was very different from his father Yuan Shu.
Although this son is good at making use of his noble background in the Runan Yuan family, he does not use his power to bully others.
Ahem, forcibly kidnapping others and making them their subjects cannot be counted.
It can only be said that this person's emphasis on talent and talent is a bit excessive, but it is not a big problem.
At least he didn't kill anyone who didn't do something for him like his father, or put anyone under house arrest.
No matter who comes to Yuan Yao's house or how he comes to Yuan Yao's tent, he will be detained by Yuan Yao for a while.
But basically after three months, you can stay or go as you like!
In addition to the advantages of loving talents and cherishing talents, employing people on their merits, and not focusing on family background, this son also has some other qualities of a wise master.
"I'm confused about something. How can Quan Rou have five thousand people under his command?"
Yuan Yao has actually thought about this issue.
So he quickly gave Chen Jiao the answer.
"Quan Rou? He is just a puppet pushed to the front by Sun Ce. I am guessing him."
As Wang Lang's old subordinate, Quanrou surrendered to Sun Ce after Wang Lang's defeat.
No matter how trustworthy Sun Ce was in employing people, he would not be able to immediately recommend him as the captain of northern Danyang and grant him five thousand soldiers and horses!
And if Sun Ce really trusts his people, why not let Quanrou stay in Kuaiji County so that Sun Ce can conquer the counties under Kuaiji County?
So for Quanrou, there is only one possibility.
That is, when Sun Ce recruited this person, he was also very cautious in using him!
Transferring him from Kuaiji County to another place is proof!
But why did he have five thousand soldiers and horses under his command?
Didn't Sun Ce send his veteran Rui Liang to take over his position?
Thinking of this, Yuan Yao suddenly thought of someone.
Xu Kun!
Xu Kun, who led Jiangdong's dead men and attacked his driver but took his brother's life!
According to Sun Ce's usual practice, Jiangdong has many generals and many armies. After the death of a father, his son will succeed him, and if a brother dies, his brother will succeed him!
Xu Kun and his younger brother Xu Yi are in-laws of the Sun family. However, the Xu family was originally a wealthy family in Wu County, and their family background and influence were much stronger than that of the Sun family, a common people in Fuchun.
As early as when he followed Sun Jian to conquer Dong Zhuo and Sun Ce was still a young boy, Xu Kun had already become a partial general.
When he followed Sun Ce across the Yangtze River, Xu Kun's reputation and status were second only to Sun Ce. And in the battle of Niuzhu, Xu Kun also made suggestions and suggestions.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms·Wu Shu·Mrs.
If it was said that Sun Ce directly awarded Quanrou five thousand soldiers and horses who had just surrendered, Yuan Yao would never believe it.
But Yuan Yao believed that Xu Kun inherited his younger brother Xu Yi's tribe, with a total of 5,000 men, and now assisted Quan Rou to become the captain of northern Danyang.
In addition, there is another doubtful point worthy of attention when Quanrou takes office as the captain of northern Danyang.
That is
