Of course. If he led his troops to fight Sun Jian, he would be able to win.

However, the chance of winning is probably not very high. It is not wise to use 30,000 cavalry to attack the prepared infantry crossbows and strong bow formations.

With Hu Cheer's ability, Zhang Xiu dared not say that it would be a 100% failure, but there is an 80% chance that it may fail.

Zhang Xiu shook his head and threw this matter away. The most urgent task now is not to read these articles, but to various complex and huge troubles.

Zhang Xiu raised his head and said to the advisers of Weitai: "Submitting troops, surrendering generals, and settle the people is the most urgent task."

"In addition, the surrendered soldiers and the settled people are in common. I am no longer as good as I did in the past, so I don't need to recruit Cao's army. Send them back and carry out agricultural and mulberry production."

"I will leave it to Gongda for the matter of rewarding the surrendered generals and sending troops as appropriate." Zhang Xiu turned his head and looked at Xun You, who was silent but very calm, and said in a deep voice.

"No." Xun You was a little surprised, but he reacted very quickly and bowed his hand to agree.

"Of course, the affairs of the people are left to the governor. Are there anyone who chooses the governors of Yanzhou and Yuzhou?"

Zhang Xiu nodded, then looked around at everyone, and said with a little expectation.

This landlord's family has a lot of food left.

As his territory grew bigger and bigger, he appointed more and more governors. For a moment, Zhang Xiu did not expect a suitable candidate, so he could only brainstorm.

Zhang Xiu rarely asked in public about appointing ministers. This matter is usually done by Zhang Xiu, and the ministers appointed by Zhang Xiu are often very capable.

Is the emperor aware of others?

When they suddenly encountered such a problem, the great counselors of Weiwei were slightly stunned. But soon, everyone became enthusiastic.

"Your Majesty. I recommend Sima Lang." Ju Su bowed and said first.

"Your Majesty. I recommend Jia Kui, a native of Hedong." Fa Zheng was unwilling to fall behind and bowed his hands.

Cai Mao wanted to speak, but he wanted to speak but stopped, and finally didn't say it.

Sima Yi and Xun You both said nothing.

Zhang Xiu was not surprised by the performance of the ministers.

Sima Yi is now walking on thin ice and honest. Xun You is a dull man, and Cai Mao is a little wise.

Needless to say, Ju Shu is, Fazheng is actually accurate in looking at people and things.

In history, Liu Bei attacked Bashu. There was a Shu County prefect Xu Jing. Liu Zhang treated Xu Jing very well. But at a critical moment, Xu Jing actually surrendered and was captured by Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang was also a kind person, thinking that it was almost time to perish now and there was no need to kill more, so he let Xu Jing go.

Later, Liu Bei took over Bashu, and because of this incident, Xu Jing was not needed.

In fact, Xu Jing is a well-known celebrity in the world.

Fa Zheng persuaded Liu Bei.

"There are many people in the world who are famous and unreal, and Xu Jing is one of them. But Xu Jing is famous. If you don't need Xu Jing, the people in the world will criticize you and say that you don't care about talents."

Liu Bei immediately understood that this was like buying a thousand-mile horse bone. So Liu Bei immediately reused Xu Jing.

Now the people recommended by Fa Zheng are also accurate in their opinion.

Needless to say, Sima Lang is a capable minister. Although he is Sima Yi's eldest brother, Zhang Xiu is now staring at Sima Yi.

Moreover, except for Sima Yi, the rest of the Sima family were not born with rebelliousness. It would be nothing to use Sima Lang as the governor.

As for Jia Kui.

Zhang Xiu looked carefully at the boy Fa Zheng. How did he interact with Jia Kui? This person could not be recommended out of thin air. Fa Zheng must have known Jia Kui.

Zhang Xiu had to admit that Fa was a sharp attack.

In history, Jia Kui was also a famous minister and a loyal minister of the Cao Wei Dynasty. However, Jia Kui did not raise his children well, and his two sons were both great heroes of the Sima family of the Jin Dynasty.

Jia Kui's granddaughter Jia Nanfeng was a rare "evil queen" in history and had an important responsibility for the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.

But forget it. The Liang Dynasty will not be the Jin Dynasty, and history has changed. Jia Nanfeng may not exist.

After all, when people are confused, it is one second before they are born, and they may be two different people.

Zhang Xiu shook his head again, thinking too much.

"Okay, Sima Lang was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou and Jia Kui was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou. He ordered the two to settle the people inside and cooperate with Xun Gongda outside to settle the surrendered troops."

Without thinking too much, Zhang Xiu nodded in agreement.

"promise."

Cai Mao turned his promise and wrote down the matter.

Miscellaneous things are the important things Zhang Xiu has at present.

Just like digesting Hebei, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, you can’t just get it, but you have to arrange elite officials to manage it.

Just like he appointed Zhuge Liang as the governor of Jizhou, with Zhuge Liang's efforts, Jizhou's loyalty to the Liang Dynasty has now increased greatly.

People live and work in peace and contentment. Who can like to lick blood from the knife when they live and work in peace and contentment?

The appointment of the governor of Yuzhou and Yanzhou was Zhang Xiu's first step in stabilizing the Central Plains.

.............

Hu Cheer finally failed to capture Cao Cao. As time passed, more and more Cao's troops arrived in Fancheng and crossed the river to Xiangyang area.

For a time, a large number of Cao's troops gathered outside Xiangyang City.

Of course, Sun Jian did not treat Cao Cao, the old brother, with all his efforts to provide food and supplies. After Cao Cao arrived in Xiangyang, he counted his troops while waiting for Liu Bei to arrive.

The Jinan County where Liu Bei is located is the farthest place, and Liu Bei should have arrived at the last time.

That morning.

In a mansion in the city, Cao Cao's family settled in an orderly manner. In the study, Cao Cao sat together with the important officials who were waving.

"Zhongde. How many soldiers and generals do we have? Have we counted them now?" Cao Cao asked with concern.

"It has been counted. Currently, there are still 80,000 elite soldiers following us to the south. This is the roster of generals and officials."

Cheng Yu was ready, so he took out a white cloth from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao and everyone showed joy on their faces when they heard this. Cao Cao even reached out to take the white cloth and observed it carefully.

The generals are still there, and his strength is still there. The 80,000 elite soldiers heading south, including thousands of cavalry established by Cao Chunxin.

"I was defeated one after another, and there were 80,000 troops to follow me south. I was really satisfied. What's more, there were at least 10,000 people on Liu Bei's side. In addition, Sun Wentai's troops in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, we still had hundreds of thousands of troops. The navy was strong. Although there was not enough progress to the Central Plains, Yangzhou was enough to defend Jingzhou. It was as stable as Mount Tai." Cao Cao put down his white cloth, took a deep breath, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

The same is true for everyone.

The escape has ended and they have gained a foothold. There is no need to worry about the past, and they have started again.

The south has the advantage of the south.

Now wait for Liu Bei to cross the river, Sun Jian, Cao Cao and Liu Bei to sit down and discuss together which royal family member wise marquis to be the Emperor of Han.

When it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

A minor official walked in from outside and bowed and reported: "Lord, Mr. Liu has crossed the river."

"Go and invite General Sun, let's go to welcome Mr. Liu together." Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this and ordered.

"No." The minor official responded and went down to do it. Cao Cao first asked his advisers to go down, and then with Sun Jian, he only brought hundreds of personal soldiers and went north.

By the time they arrived at the south bank of Xiangjiang River, Liu Bei's troops had already crossed the river.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao first sent someone to invite Liu Bei out of the camp, and the three of them came to a nearby pavilion to sit down.

Xu Chu, Cheng Pu and Guan Yu, as followers, stood outside the pavilion with their swords and were on guard.

"Duke Xuande. I have something to say to you with Wentai." After sitting down, Cao Cao bowed to Liu Bei, very polite.

Although Liu Bei had few people, mosquito legs were also fleshy. In addition, Liu Bei's character was recognized by Cao Cao.

He didn't mind working with Liu Bei.

"Please tell me directly." Liu Bei's heart moved and his expression became serious and serious. Cao Cao nodded and told Liu Bei about the matter he discussed with Sun Jian.

Liu Bei felt a little uncomfortable, and he still felt that the emperor should be Liu Xie. But Cao Cao and Sun Jian were right. Now the Han Dynasty needs an emperor, not a Han lord.

"I understand. I have no meaning to your decision." Liu Bei nodded, then bowed and asked, "I just don't know, who will be the emperor you decide to appoint?"

Sun Jian, Cao Cao was relieved when he saw this. Cao Cao's face showed a serious look and said, "It's Pan Hou Liu Yong."

Liu Bei was quite satisfied with the words. Liu Yong was a close relative of Emperor Ling of Han, and in terms of seniority, he was the nephew of Emperor Ling of Han. Moreover, Liu Yong was twenty-five years old this year and was quite famous.

This proves that Cao Cao and Sun Jian did not intend to establish a child, thereby undermining the emperor.

"After welcoming the new king, I am the Taiwei, Wentai is the Situ, and Xuande Gong is the Sikong. Let us pacify the officials and people of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, suppress, surrender, and give in to Shanyue. Send people to contact Shi Xie from Jiaozhou, gather the strength of the three states, and do our best to support the Han Dynasty. We swear to share the sun and moon with Zhang Xiu."

At the end, Cao Cao's voice became excited, his eyes were bright, and he had an unyielding ambition.

"good."

Sun Jian and Liu Bei raised their hands and fists at Cao Cao and responded heavily.

The so-called strategy is a big plan.

The biggest plan is to establish an emperor and fight with Zhang Xiu, a Liang thief. The three of them had no objection to this matter and let it go.
