I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 286 Asking for credit for the generals

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Su Ming fell into deep thought.

The right to choose is in the hands of Su Ming.

There is no doubt that whoever Su Ming recommends as the important task of guarding Liucheng will be marked with his label.

The generals beside Su Ming are Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Gao Lan, Zhang He, Ju Yi, Qu A and others.

First of all, Xu Chu can be ruled out. He is the leader of Prime Minister Cao's personal army, and he has Cao Cao's expression on his body.

Although Xu Chu and Su Ming have a good relationship, as long as Boss Cao doesn't mess with him, he will always belong to Boss Cao.

Gao Lan, Ju Yi, and Zhang Yun can be ruled out.

They belonged to Yuan Shao's surrendered generals. Although they had made some contributions following Su Ming this time, their qualifications were not enough.

If one of the three of them were to be stationed in Liucheng, there would definitely be many people who would not be convinced.

Especially Li Dian, Le Jin, Xu Huang, and Yu Jin, veterans who have followed Prime Minister Cao for many years.

Tai Shici, Qu?

There's no need, the two of them are their own people, and if they stay in Liucheng, doesn't that mean reducing their strength?
Moreover, according to my friendship with Tai Shici and Qu'a, there is no need to win them over like this.

Keep the two of them by your side, and when the time comes to attack Jingxiang Nine Counties, some credits will be given to them.

Then, there are only two choices left.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu, whoever stays to guard Liucheng, can silence everyone, leaving Boss Cao's generals with nothing to say.

The first is Zhang Liao, who can be regarded as an old man under Prime Minister Cao's command.

After Prime Minister Cao defeated Lu Bu, he surrendered Zhang Liao.

Over the years, Zhang Liao has also made a lot of contributions with Prime Minister Cao.

Moreover, Zhang Liao is capable!
When you talk about leading troops to fight and strategizing, among the generals under Prime Minister Cao, who dares to say that he is stronger than Zhang Liao?

Even the brothers Cao Ren and Xiahou, whom Prime Minister Cao valued the most, dare not say that they are better than Zhang Liao.

Let's talk about Zhang Xiu, although Zhang Xiu has been with Prime Minister Cao for a short time.

However, Zhang Xiu's name is also great.

No one knows the title of the Northern Spear King.

Moreover, Zhang Xiu once defeated Cao Cao twice in Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu said, it's not an exaggeration for you guys to be defeated.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu took on this important task, and the generals under Prime Minister Cao had nothing to say.

Whether Zhang Liao or Zhang Xiu takes on this important task is in Su Ming's mind. Whoever Su Ming asks to take on this important task will take on this important task.

After Su Ming thought over and over again, he decided to choose Zhang Xiu.

The reason why Zhang Xiu was chosen instead of Zhang Liao was not because Zhang Liao was not good enough.On the contrary, it is precisely because Zhang Liao is too good.

It would be of great use for Su Ming to keep Zhang Liao behind.

Soon after, Su Ming returned to Jiangxia and was about to prepare for the attack on the nine counties of Jingxiang.

And Su Ming wants to attack the Nine Counties of Jingxiang, so who must be guarded against?

Jiangdong Sun Quan.

The hatred between Sun Quan and Su Ming is needless to say.

They both wanted to kill each other in their dreams.

Therefore, as long as Su Ming dared to attack the nine counties of Jingxiang, Sun Quan in Jiangdong would never let Su Ming do anything.

Because, if Su Ming only had the county of Jiangxia, he would not be able to threaten Jiangdong.

In a county, there are too few soldiers and horses to support, and it cannot be a big climate.

However, if Su Ming really captured the Nine Counties of Jingxiang, with the Nine Counties of Jingxiang, his strength would not be inferior to that of Jiangdong.

At that time, Su Ming and Sun Quan will face each other across the river, and they may send troops to attack Jiangdong at any time.

In that case, would Sun Quan still be able to sleep tonight?

By that time, Sun Quan could not sleep at night.

The reason why Su Ming chose to keep Zhang Xiu in Liucheng was to put Zhang Liao in the position to deal with Sun Quan.

Zhang Liao beat Sun Quan, that is a professional counterpart!
In the previous life, Zhang Babai's name was earned by beating Sun Shiwan.

It can be said that Sun Quan carried Zhang Liao into the martial arts temple abruptly by relying on his own strength.

At that time, when Su Ming went to attack the Nine Counties of Jingxiang, Zhang Liao would be stationed on his flanks to defend Sun Quan, so that Su Ming could go down with peace of mind.

After thinking about this, Su Ming bowed his hands to Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, General Zhang Xiu has lived on the grassland since he was a child, and he is very familiar with grassland affairs."

"In my opinion, it's better to let General Zhang Xiu be in charge of Liucheng's defense."

Hearing Su Ming's words, Zhang Xiu was shocked.

Zhang Xiu never thought that Su Ming would ask for credit for him first.

In terms of credit, Zhang Liao's credit is still higher than his.

In terms of closeness to Su Ming, Tai Shici and Qu'a are far closer than him to Su Ming!

Zhang Xiu never expected that such a good thing would happen to him.

Before, Zhang Xiu was stationed in a small Wancheng.

Since Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and unified the north, Wancheng has become a small city in the middle of Cao Laban's territory.

And Zhang Xiu is not considered Cao Cao's confidant, so, if there is no accident, he should be the guard of Wancheng for the rest of his life, and then die of old age in Wancheng.

This time, Cao Cao recruited Jia Xu, and Zhang Xiu personally led the army to help, just to fight for a chance to integrate into Boss Cao's circle.

Now it seems that he succeeded, and he was also reused by Mr. Su Ming.

At this time, Zhang Xiu was moved to tears!

Cao Cao is obedient to Su Ming now, and Su Ming said that he chose Zhang Xiu as the defender of Liucheng, so Zhang Xiu would naturally be chosen.

"Zhang Xiu, I named you General Po Qiang, responsible for guarding Liucheng."

"In addition, I will leave you another [-] soldiers and horses under your command." After saying this, Cao Cao patted Zhang Xiu on the shoulder and said: "Don't let down my prime minister, and don't let me down to the high expectations of your son. .”

Zhang Xiu was very excited, with a dignified tone, and said with trembling voice: "I, Zhang Xiu, will definitely not disappoint the prime minister, and I will definitely not disappoint the young master."

"I, Zhang Xiu, will live in Liucheng for a day, and the barbarians from the grassland will not be invaded."

After Prime Minister Cao rewarded Zhang Xiu, Su Ming continued to cup his hands and said, "Prime Minister, I would also like to confer an official position on behalf of Wen Yuan."

"My son, you can talk about it!" Cao Cao said briskly.

Su Ming clasped his hands and said, "I would like to ask the prime minister to make Wenyuan the governor of Huainan and station troops in Hefei."

Huainan is now a county, and its seat is Hefei County.

Huainan County was originally Yuan Shu's territory, but it was acquired by Cao Cao a few years ago.

"Bring the map!" Cao Cao ordered someone to bring the map, and carefully examined the location of Huainan County and Hefei.

Cao Cao is a master of military affairs. When he combined the map, he could see Su Ming's intention at a glance.

"My son asked Wenyuan to station in Hefei, but he wants to beware of Sun Quan?" Cao Cao asked very firmly.

Huainan County, Hefei County, and Jiangxia are on the left and right of Jiangdong, forming the corners of each other.

The garrison in Hefei can only be used to deal with Sun Quan.

Moreover, the location of Hefei County is like a knife, which can stab Sun Quan at any time.
