Chapter 840: Xun You Persuades Kong Zhu to Surrender

After several transactions, Dantu's horse market has become somewhat famous in Jiangdong, but the quantity each time is really limited. Basically, not much can flow out to other places, and Wu Jun has digested it. If Sun Cejun can really control Wu Jun, at least they can buy some war horses from it.

When Sun Ce was preparing to send troops to Wu Commandery, Cao Cao was furious at the gate of Xiapi City. Ji Ling didn't know what was wrong with him, but he actually got into a fight with him at the foot of Xiapi City. Now Cao and Yuan's armies have fought several times in Xiapi. Although Yuan Shu's army lost more and won less, both Xiapi City and Ji Ling's camp are as stable as a rock and have not been breached at all.

He had a bloody encounter with Yuan Shu's army in Xiapi, and he didn't get half of the benefits. However, in Runan, the Andong army was overwhelming. Now it has almost driven all Yuan Shu's army across the Huaihe River. This result made Cao Cao almost headache with anger. Crazy attack.

Huangfu Chaobo didn't know these things clearly. At this time, he was in a very good mood. Less than three days after the army set off from Xincai, he received news from Xun You from Yangdi Kuaima. Kong You agreed with him. He decided to hand over Yuzhou to Huangfu Chaobo, and he himself followed Huangfu Chaobo's arrangements.

On the day he received the news, Huangfu Chaobo led Pang Tong and others and rushed towards Yangzhai under the protection of the trapped camp. There were some things he had to discuss with Kong Niao in person.

A few days later, Huangfu Chaobo and his entourage arrived at Yangdi City. As soon as they arrived outside the city gate, they saw Kong Xin leading people to greet him. Seeing Huangfu Chaobo and his entourage arriving, Kong Xin quickly stepped forward to greet him and said: "I haven't brought Kong Xin to see the Marquis!"

Huangfu Chaobo turned over and dismounted, helped him up, and said, "Brother, there is no need to be like this. If my brother hadn't always taken care of him back then, how would Chaobo be where he is today."

"The noble Lord Marquis has his own divine help. Without Kong Xin, he would have achieved what he has today. Kong Xin dare not take credit." Kong Xin already knew about Kong Niao's decision, so he was a little worried about Huangfu Chaobo's words. Refusing continuously.

"Brother, you don't have to be like this. Privately, you and I are still brothers!" Huangfu Chaobo took Kong Xin's hand and whispered, "Uncle will still work hard for me for a few more years. I wonder what my brother thinks?"

Kong Xin was moved when he saw Huangfu Chaobo's words and said: "Brother Yu also wants to lead the army, but his ability is limited and he doesn't know what to do."

Huangfu Chaobo pondered for a while. The famous general card is valid for inn generals. I don't know if it is valid for Kong Xin, a kindred general specially equipped for historical celebrities. Thinking of this, he said to Kong Xin: "Now there is an item called famous general card. I wonder if this thing is effective in improving my brother?”

Kong Xin was overjoyed and said: "I have heard of this thing before. It should be able to help improve my health, but this thing is rare..."

"Well, since it works, brother don't have to worry, I will be responsible for getting it."

"Well, thank you very much, Brother Yu!"

Huangfu Chaobo gently patted Kong Xin's shoulder and said, "Let's go into the city. We can't keep uncle waiting for too long."

Kong Xin quickly got on his horse and led Huangfu Chaobo towards the governor's office in the city.

When they entered the Governor's Mansion, Kong Min was already waiting outside the gate. In order to prevent others from noticing anything unusual, Huangfu Chaobo quickly got off his horse and helped Kong Min, who was about to bow down, into the palace.

The group of people entered the small meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion. After entering, Kong Min invited Huangfu Chaobo to sit down at the main seat, and together with everyone, he paid homage to him with the etiquette of subordinates.

Huangfu Chaobo also sat at the top and waited until everyone had finished worshiping. Then he quickly stepped forward to help Kong Niao up and said, "Gongda must have explained the matter in Yuzhou to my uncle in detail, right? I don't know what uncle can do." Still have doubts?”

Kong Niao was still a little uncomfortable at first, but after greeting him with courtesy as a subordinate, he quickly adapted to it. When Huangfu Chaobo asked about it, he quickly replied: "I already understand that I will cooperate well and will not give in." The thief Cao found out."

Huangfu Chaobo nodded,

Said: "In the past few years, uncle will still have to worry about Yuzhou affairs, and the Anton Army General Office will not interfere in the civil affairs of Yuzhou, and there will be no changes in the county officials for the time being, but the military will have to make adjustments. As for the relationship between Yuzhou and the Anton Army, only my uncle and a few close confidants know about it, and no one else can know about it. Please pay attention to this, uncle."

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I understand!"

"As for Kong Xin, I just told him that I will transfer him to the position of deputy general of the First Army when the time comes. I also told him that I will prepare a famous general card for him to promote him. With my strength, I believe there will be no problem by then. As for the arrangement of the generals around my uncle, we still need to choose others.”

Kong Ming agreed, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had always treated his nephew as his biological son. He was originally planning to let him serve as a civil servant, but he always wanted to lead the army. Huangfu Chaobo's arrangement was more suitable. OK, so I quickly thanked you again.

Later, Huangfu Chaobo asked him about some things about money and food for soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, but Kong Niao was able to talk about it, and it seemed that he was quite familiar with it.

Nowadays, there are three counties in Yuzhou: Yingchuan, Runan and Chenguo. Of course, if Yingxi County, which spans the world, is added, it should be counted as four counties, but in fact it only adds a county seat of Ye County. There are a total of forty-six counties, with about 600,000 households and a population of about 4 million. Compared with the three counties before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which had a population of more than 5 million, it has decreased by more than one million.

The population of Lu, Pei and Liang, which Cao Cao occupied, was about 2.5 million. These were the smallest three counties under Yuzhou. This shows how large the population of Yukou was.

However, even so, Huangfu Chaobo was still shocked. You know, the eight counties under the rule of the Andong Army only had a total of 8 million people, and Huangfu Chaobo had spent a lot of effort to search for them. The three counties in Yuzhou had a population of nearly 4 million. No wonder Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were staring at this place.

Huangfu Chaobo did not stay in Yangdi for long. After resting for two days at Kong Rong's place, he set off again to Luoyang. This time, there were more people, including Xun You, Kong Rong, Kong Xin and others.

At the same time, before setting off, Huangfu Chaobo also ordered Qingzhou's Qianniu Camp commander Xu Rong and military advisor Lou Gui, Weijun's Longxiang Army commander Zhao Yun and military advisor Ju Shou, and Runan's Huang Zhong to rush back to Luoyang for discussions. Next, the Andong Army would have to make major adjustments again, and this could not alarm Cao Cao and other princes who were nearby.
