Chapter 754 Sun Fu Surrenders to Cao Cao

Yuzhang County, Chaisang City.

Ten miles away to the west of the city, a group of civil and military officials from Yuzhang County were standing on both sides of the road. One of them looked impatient. He looked to the west from time to time, as if he was looking forward to it.

"Master Fu, Prime Minister Cao's army should be arriving soon, right?"

Chang Shi on the side said cautiously.

"Hurry, Prime Minister Cao has sent an envoy to explain, today."

The speaker was none other than Sun Fu, the governor of Yuzhang. He was originally an important minister of the Sun clan, the son of Sun Jian's elder brother Sun Qiang, and the cousin of Sun Ce, Sun Quan and others. He followed Sun Ce in the battle and was named Yuzhang. County governor.

If Sun Ce was still there, then Sun Fu would never defect to Cao Cao directly even if he was afraid. However, Sun Fu had no confidence in the young Sun Quan. In his view, Cao Cao was cunning and cunning, and Sun Quan was by no means his opponent.

Instead of stubbornly resisting, it would be better to simply surrender.

At this moment, a large cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the west, and there were countless black figures faintly visible in the earth-yellow smoke.

The earth is shaking, and tens of thousands of heroes are marching toward the east in a menacing manner.

Tap tap tap! The first to arrive was a cavalry team of more than a thousand. They galloped and came to the Yuzhang County officials. The Yuzhang County officials all looked pale. They who grew up in Jiangdong had never seen the power of a large-scale cavalry charge. , saw the cavalry galloping for the first time, and this shocking feeling made them terrified.

"Hush!"

Cao Ren grabbed his horse, sat on it, looked down at many Yuzhang County officials, and said loudly: "Where is Sun Fu, the governor of Yuzhang County?"

"Someone is here."

Sun Fu stood up and said flatteringly: "I am Sun Fu. I wonder who the general is?"

"This is Cao Ren, the right general!"

Sun Fu's eyes lit up, Cao Cao, Cao Ren, it seems that the relationship between Cao Ren and Cao Cao is extraordinary, and they must be cured.

"It turns out to be General Cao. I really have admired him for a long time."

He continued: "I wonder where Prime Minister Cao is?"

"No hurries?"

Cao Ren said coldly: "Just wait, the prime minister is coming."

After that, Cao Ren stopped talking and stopped his horse aside. More than a thousand Cao Jun's cavalry were also divided into two halves and stationed beside the road, waiting for something like a guard of honor.

boom! boom! boom!

The footsteps of tens of thousands of troops stepped on the ground in unison and fell in the ears of the Yuzhang County officials. Their faces became even paler, and none of them dared to speak. At the same time, they all had the same idea in their hearts.

It seems that it was right to defect to Prime Minister Cao this time.

The tens of thousands of troops were like a copper wall and an iron wall, with flags fluttering in the formation, revealing a murderous atmosphere.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of soldiers moved to the left and right, opening up a passage like a wave. In this passage, a huge Chinese army banner was slowly surrounded by hundreds of horsemen. come over. These hundreds of cavalrymen were all wearing armor, and their crotches were fat and strong, exuding a powerful aura.

And from among these hundreds of riders, a strong general with broad arms and round waist and a beard on his face stepped out.

The fierce general shouted: "Where is Sun Fu?"

A loud shout was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Sun Fu was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up from the crowd.

"The villain is here."

"Are you Sun Fu?" Dian Wei asked loudly.

"Yes, yes, I wonder what the general's orders are?" Sun Fu stepped forward and lowered his head.

A flash of disdain flashed in Dian Wei's eyes: "Prime Minister Cao ordered you to come forward to meet me. Come over."

Sun Fu nodded in agreement, followed Dian Wei Ma, and walked towards the direction of the Chinese army.

On both sides of the road were tall, murderous Cao Jun soldiers. They had serious faces and gleaming weapons in their hands. Sun Fu only felt a substantial murderous aura surrounding him, so he had to move forward cautiously, fearing that If you don't pay attention, the blade will fall on you.

Sun Fu was frightened all the way and finally reached the central army.

"Prime Minister, Sun Fu has arrived."

"Well, are you Sun Fu?"

When Sun Fu heard this voice, he did not dare to raise his head and whispered: "Sun Fu, I would like to pay my respects to the Prime Minister."

After saying that, Sun Fu lifted the hem of his robe and was about to kneel to the ground, but was suddenly held back by a big hand.

He looked up and saw someone looking at him with a smile. He had a dark face and was wearing a red robe and armor. At first glance, he would definitely not look like the prime minister of the court, but for some reason, Sun Fu always felt that Sincerely terrified.

"Haha, Taishou Sun abandoned the dark and turned to the light. Those who understand the current affairs are heroes. What Cao admires the most is smart people like Taishou Sun."

Cao Cao pulled Sun Fu up and laughed.

Sun Fu bowed and said with sincerity: "Prime Minister Cao is a wise master. It is a good thing that the people of Jiangdong take shelter under the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister's new policy will definitely make the people of Jiangdong bathe in blessings."

Hearing the hint in Sun Fu's words, Cao Cao chuckled: "Don't worry, Grand Administrator Sun, after I unify Jiangdong, I will exempt the people of the six counties in Jiangdong from paying taxes for one year, and reduce the taxes by half within three years. After all, the people are rebelling against Sun." He has been through many hardships under his leadership, so he naturally needs to take care of his true self."

Sun Fu was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Prime Minister!"

Tax reduction and exemption can stabilize the people of Jiangdong and reduce the people's resistance to Cao's army. Even if Sun Fu doesn't say it, Cao Cao will do it.

Sun Fu invited: "I and the nobles in the county have prepared a banquet in the city. They have also prepared pigs, sheep, fine wine, etc. to reward Master Wang. Please invite the Prime Minister into the city to attend the banquet."

Cao Cao smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, Commander Sun or Commander Yuzhang, let's go in together."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Being able to keep the governor of Yuzhang County, Sun Fu was naturally more grateful to Cao Cao, and led Cao Cao into the city.

Sun Fu wanted to defect to Cao Cao, so the nobles in the city naturally rushed to curry favor with Cao Cao and prepared a banquet. Cao Cao, on the other hand, smiled and refused to accept anyone who came.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Cao Cao drank so much that he blushed, and sent away the county officials and many nobles with a smile. His complexion quickly returned to normal, and he did not look drunk at all.

"Where is Zhongde?"

"I will go find Mr. Zhongde now."

Dian Wei walked out, and Cheng Yu walked in not long after.

"I wonder what the prime minister wants from me?" Cheng Yu cupped his hands.

"Zhongde, do you think the time has come?" Cao Cao asked.

Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Sun Ce's plan to pacify Jiangdong was a quick battle. The Jiangdong gentry were dissatisfied. Otherwise, how could Sun Ce be assassinated?"

"It seems to me that the prime minister can now send troops to Wu County, join forces with General Xiahou, and sweep Jiangdong. As long as Wu County can be defeated and Zhou Yu's main force is defeated, the Jiangdong nobles will definitely turn their backs and surrender to our army." Cheng Yu's chest is full of success.
