Huang Zhong smiled. "General, although Cai Mao is deeply trusted by Liu Biao, he has no soldiers in his hands, and the military power in Xiangyang is controlled by Liu Biao and Kuai Yue, and sending troops to support Cai Zhou requires the consent of Liu Biao and Kuai Yue. Liu Biao is a scholar, and the last decision is made by Kuai Yue. Cai Zhou is Cai Mao's industry, and it has nothing to do with Kuai Yue, the first thing Kuai Yue has to consider is whether there will be fraud, whether there will be an ambush outside the city, and when he figures out all this, he will send people to Cai Zhou, and an hour will be considered fast. ”

Sun Ce suddenly realized. That's right, although Kuai Yue and Cai Mao are both Liu Biao's valued people, they may not be the same heart. If it is really a heart, Liu Biao will be in danger. The Cai family is strong, so Liu Biao naturally wants to favor the Kuai family a little, and it is in line with the principle of checks and balances in the imperial art to hand over the military power to Kuai Yue instead of Cai Mao.

These are details, hidden beneath the surface of the water, and are generally not recorded in the history books unless such discord has serious consequences. Liu Biao ruled Jingzhou for nearly 20 years, and there was no fundamental conflict between Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, and the contradictions between them did not manifest themselves, but it did not mean that they did not exist.

"Hansheng, would you like to go first?"

"General...... Do you really want to take Cai Zhou and make the Cai family an enemy? ”

"I don't take Cai Zhou, and the Cai family is also my enemy now." Sun Ce didn't have any psychological burden at all. "As for what the family you're worried about will think of me, hehe, I've never cared about that. Wang Rui and Zhang Shi have been killed by their father and cannot be resurrected, even if I am polite to them, they will not take me seriously. In this case, it is better to let go of your hands and feet and kill a few Liwei. ”

Sun Ce smiled. "As you just said, the family is not monolithic. If taking Cai Zhou can make Cai Mao and Kuai Yue turn their faces, I think it's still worth it. ”

"What if they don't turn their faces?"

"Then I'll rob the Kuai family next time." Sun Ce waved his hand. "Kill these strongest people, and those small families will have a chance to come out. I am promoting the circulation of classes, and I am very good. ”

Huang Zhong was speechless, but he felt that Sun Ce was reasonable. The Cai family and the Kuai family are already Liu Biao's party anyway, and it is impossible to support Sun Ce, and it is not a good thing to kill the Cai family and the Kuai family and change the blood of Nanjun Haoqiang. He surrendered his command.

"Dare to disobey."

Having made up his mind, Sun Ce relaxed a lot and walked slowly along the riverside. At this time and space, the last thing he is comfortable with is going to bed early. The lighting conditions are limited, in order to save the money of lamp oil, many people go to bed as soon as it gets dark, and only get up at dawn, and night owls like him are very unsuitable for this kind of work and rest rules, and now they have something in their hearts, and they can't sleep even more.

Huang Zhong carried the bow and pressed the knife, and followed suit. Seeing that Sun Ce was too close to the water, he hurriedly reminded: "General, it is dangerous to do this. Although the water is wide, the water here is not deep or urgent, and it is completely possible to swim through the water. If the scouts on the other side find out that you are alone, they may sneak to the continent, injure people with hidden arrows, or even try to capture you. ”

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at the other side of the water. There was a rolling hill there, not too tall and not very famous, but Sun Ce was very impressed by it, and even a little taboo.

That is Da Hyeonshan, where Sun Jian died unexpectedly. There the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian was shot dead by a nobody.

I'm here to save Sun Jian, but I don't want to be unsuccessful, so I'll put myself in first.

Sun Ce turned around and walked back.

Huang Zhong silently followed, vigilantly watching his surroundings. Suddenly, he stopped, stretched out his hand and pulled out half of the long knife, turned to face the water, protected Sun Ce behind him, and shouted in a deep voice: "General, be careful." ”

Before the words fell, the originally calm water suddenly made a "bang", and several figures stood up from the water, fan-shaped and scattered, while running wildly, while pulling out a long knife to kill it, and the hurried footsteps kicked the river with a rattle.

When Sun Ce heard the sound and looked back, he suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, and fear enveloped his whole body.

Speaking of assassins, assassins are coming, Huang Zhong, are you a god prophecy or a crow's mouth, or am I Sun Ce destined to die at the hands of assassins?

Sun Ce subconsciously wanted to run. Although he practiced martial arts every day and worked very hard, it was the first time he worked hard with others. As soon as he saw those murderous men and bright long knives, his first reaction was to run away, completely forgetting who he was.

But the sad thing is that his hands and feet are numb, his whole body is stiff, his two legs are like a thousand pounds, and he can't move if he wants to, so he can only watch the two men kill left and right.

Huang Zhong met the three people who rushed head-on, slashed down one person with a knife, kicked another person over, took the time to look back, and saw Sun Ce standing there motionless, and couldn't help but praise. Sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog, Sun Jian is a Jiangdong tiger, and Sun Ce is not weak at all, this fearless bearing is not something ordinary people can have.

He didn't dare to slack off, and with a wave of his long knife, he wiped the neck of another man, and rushed towards Sun Ce with a big stride, and with a long roar, he slashed at the enemy on the left. This knife is clean and neat, not a little fancy, but the power is terrifying. The man was beheaded with a knife, and his head flew up in the air, but his body was still rushing forward, and blood splattered out, drenching Sun Ce's head and face.

The blood was drenched, but Sun Ce shivered, suddenly woke up and regained his mobility. He turned around and wanted to run, but it was too late, and the wind rose in his ears, and a long knife slashed at him. He didn't have time to think about it, he subconsciously retreated, his left hand made a half circle from bottom to top, his hand slid along the opponent's arm to his wrist, and he moved forward, his body turned halfway, and his right hand slammed into the opponent's back.

All this is not thought out at all, it is purely instinctive, but it is wonderful to the peak, and it is done in one go. The man rushed too violently, and he didn't expect Sun Ce to have such a strange martial arts, he couldn't hold his feet, and flew out more than ten meters away in the clouds, and fell to the ground with a thud, his face on the ground.

Huang Zhong rushed up, stepped on his back, put the long knife on his neck, and looked back at Sun Ce, his eyes showing surprise.

Sun Ce maintained a single-whip posture, motionless as a mountain.

Another man who had just been knocked down by Huang Zhong got up, picked up the long knife, rushed up, jumped high, held the knife in both hands, and slashed at Sun Ce.

Huang Zhong saw it, he didn't have time to think about it, he pierced the long knife on the ground, picked up the bow, set up the arrow, drew the string, and shot an arrow.

The long arrow whistled away, and one of them pierced the man's throat.

The man fell to the ground, and when he was out of breath, the long knife fell, stuck in the sand in front of Sun Ce, and staggered. Sun Ce slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Huang Zhong with a slight smile.

"Hansheng, good arrow!"
