In the first year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao resisted public opinion and welcomed the emperor in Xu County, Yingchuan.
Cao Cao was therefore famous all over the world.
At that time, Yang Feng and Han Xian did not agree with Cao Cao taking the emperor away, and both sides became enemies.
Yang Feng and Han Xian then led the army to Ling County in Yingchuan County to plunder and harass, expressing their dissatisfaction.
Cao Cao conquered their base camp, Liang County, in one fell swoop. Yang Feng and Han Xian became stray dogs and defected to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was overjoyed and accepted them. His power gradually expanded.
Xu County becoming the capital of the Great Han Dynasty was a foregone conclusion. The emperor, the officials, and the assets of the great clans all moved in.
Sun Hao was so shocked that he could not speak. He followed Xiang Yu's instructions and sold all the properties that he had bought in advance. The profit exceeded 2,000 gold!
The court was poor, but the civil and military officials were not poor.
Even if the imperial court did not pay them, they would still be able to live comfortably.
This was because the officials were all from great clans and royal relatives.
During Tian Zi's most difficult times, he had relied on their donations to survive.
"Sir, why don't you continue to hold the property and wait for it to appreciate in value?”Sun Hao asked, puzzled.
According to the current trend, the real estate in Xu County would continue to grow.
"The officials are all concerned about their reputation, so they will pay for it. When the ruffians came in and took things by force, how would they deal with it?”Xiangyu asked.
Everyone knew the principle of the sin of having a wall. However, there were not many people who could not be blinded by benefits.
Sun Hao admired Xiang Yu even more.
At the same time, the influence of the emperor's move to the east was also brewing in River East.
Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and others jointly wrote a letter asking Sun Ce to send an envoy to the court to pay tribute and ask for rewards.
Now, Sun Ce had divided the three counties of Jiangdong and had become a vassal.
He needed to obtain the approval of the Imperial Court and be in charge of justice.
Sun Ce specially looked for Xiang Yu to discuss this matter, and Xiang Yu also agreed to this proposal.
"The Han Dynasty has fallen, and the reputation of the Son of Heaven has been lost. However, as long as the country continued, Bo Fu should be respectful and not be used by others.”Xiangyu said in a deep voice.
To put it simply, he had to at least maintain a superficial welcome.
As long as the Imperial Court did not command them randomly, there was nothing wrong with being a subject of the Imperial Court in name.
He had not yet reached the stage where he could become a king or an emperor, so there was no need for him to fall out with the imperial court.
"Good." Sun Ce ordered some people to prepare some rare treasures and handed them to Xiang Yu, entrusting him to go to Xu County.
"What do you think of Cao Cao?”Xiang Yu probed.
Jiangdong was vast and sparsely populated, and the waterways were crisscrossed with hills.
If the attack is insufficient, the defense is more than enough.
If Sun Ce's army wanted to grow, they had to make preparations as soon as possible.
"Cao Cao is extremely ambitious. I don't believe that he can really serve the Son of Heaven.”Sun Ce said solemnly.
Cao Cao's banner was 'to serve the emperor and command the vassals', and everyone knew the actual situation.
"That's true."
"But Cao Cao has another identity, the enemy of Yuan Shu. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"If Bofu can befriend Cao Cao, Yuan Shu will be wary of him.”
Xiang Yu reminded Sun Ce that paying tribute to the Imperial Court was not enough to maximize the benefits.
Why not befriend Cao Cao?
Sun Ce lived in Jiangdong and had no conflict of interest with Cao Cao.
Yuan Shu, who was stuck in the middle, was their enemy.
Sun Ce pondered for a moment and agreed." Linyuan's words are reasonable. We can act according to the situation when we go to Xu County."”
With Sun Ce's promise, Xiangyu could move freely.
There were two routes to Yingchuan in River East. One was through Yuan Shu's territory, and the other was through Jingzhou, both of which had certain risks.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Yu decided to set off from Lujiang County and visit Zhou Yu in Juchao.
After Sun Ce learned of Xiang Yu's arrangements, he became envious.
"It's a pity that I'm tied up with military affairs and can't go north with Lin Yuan.”
"Gongjin will definitely be able to receive Bo Fu's intentions.”Xiangyu said with a smile.
He planned to bring Qin Song and Sun Hao with him, leaving Jiang Qin to lead the Huai River Battalion.
Before they set off, Zhou Tai ran over and said in a deep voice,"
"Xiang Junjun, the lord asked me to follow you.”
Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel touched. Sun Ce had considered everything.
"Oh right, the lord also said that if there's a chance, when he returns from the army, he will definitely bring Mrs. Wu to Jiangdong.”Zhou Tai warned.
Sun Ce used the identity of Yuan Shu's subordinate to conquer Jiangdong and left his family in Lujiang County.
This was to stabilize Yuan Shu.
Now, Sun Ce had 30,000 elite soldiers under him, which was enough to protect his family.
"Understood." Xiangyu said firmly, the burden on his shoulders heavier.
This was a form of trust, but wasn't it also a form of pressure?
No matter what happened along the way, Xiang Yu had to take responsibility. He had to be careful and cautious. He could not make any mistakes.
After all the preparations were done, Xiang Yu disguised himself as a merchant group from the Zhou family of Lujiang County and headed north.
He had already spoken to Zhou Yu and had the document with him. He did not encounter any difficulties crossing the river.
