Chapter 416 – Cao Cao's Bargain
While Tong was enjoying his peaceful period of domestic improvement policies, Cao Cao and Sun Fang's forces had trouble with their internal management.
Sun Fang completed the tasks that Zhou Yu had assigned to him. Currently, he was protecting Guangling Commandery from Cao Cao, who had occupied Shouchun and Lujiang.
Guangling located north of the Yangtze River and north of Jianye Commandery, which served as a foothold toward the central plain. As long as the Sun Clan had this region under their control, they could use this area as a pivot to strike Xiapi, Langye, or Shouchun.
However, their newly conquered regions had not fully supported the Sun Clan's management since the emperor did not give them the authority. As a result, all locals viewed Sun Fang and Sun Ce as rebels.
