Chapter 390 – Sun Jian's Choice
Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai glared at the eunuch in anger. Because of this imperial edict, Cao Cao backstabbed Sun Jian.
Still, the words of official made sense. If Cao Cao owned Xu Province and other regions, he might grow too powerful, and he could rebel against the Han in the future.
Forcing Cao Cao to rebel when he was weak would be a better choice since Tong could rally other warlords to fight the former's army. If Tong did not use this underhanded tactic, Cao Cao could have infiltrated Tong's ranks and damaged the Han Dynasty's foundation.
Sun Jian lamented to his fate. Several stalks of his hair whitened as he was disappointed in the politic world.
