Sun Ce returned to Xiangxian County, and as soon as he sat down in the camp, he listened to Guo Jun and others report on military affairs, and Du Raid came. Sun Ce immediately put down what he was doing, walked out of the big tent, and stood in front of the tent to greet Du Xi.

Du Xi walked from a distance with a person, and when he saw Sun Ce standing at the door of the tent, he didn't think too much, just thought that Sun Ce was moving his body outside the tent. He heard Zhao Yan say that Sun Ce is a person who is out of the ordinary, does not pay much attention to etiquette, and sometimes inevitably does something harmful. He quickened his pace and rushed over, bowing and saluting while giving Sun Ce a look.

"General, Captain Zhu and Tao Envoy Jun had a smooth conversation, and Tao Envoy Jun sent a messenger here. This is Xuzhou Don't Drive to engage in Elk Zhu Elk Zizhong. ”

Sun Ce raised his head and looked at the young man who was a few steps behind Du Xian. This person is about twenty-six or seventeen years old, of medium height, with a short white face and a short beard, wearing a virtuous crown, a spring shirt with long sleeves, and a graceful demeanor, looking very much like a scholar. Seeing Sun Ce looking at him, he smiled and bowed his hand, smiling gently.

"East China Sea Elk Zhu, on the orders of the state general Tao Envoy, I pay tribute to the general."

Sun Ce said with a smile: "Some people are Confucian generals, and Elk Jun can be described as Confucian businessmen. Nanyang sage Fan Li, the master is tall and the son is tribute, there are virtuous generations, and there is no shortage of them. ”

Lu Zhu was stunned for a moment, a trace of embarrassment and anger flashed in his eyes, and then turned into joy and a little surprise. He was born in a businessman and had a rich family, but he was never proud of it, but it was a shame. Tao Qian dismissed him for other drivers, not because he had a good reputation, but because others looked down on Tao Qian, and Tao Qian had no choice but to find someone like him. Being ordered to see Sun Ce was not a beautiful mistake for him, but a last resort.

He dressed like a Confucian student, he just didn't want people to know his identity as a businessman, Zhu Zhi knew, but Zhu Zhi didn't come back, Du Xun didn't know his back, how could Sun Ce reveal his identity as a businessman?

This was the reason for his displeasure, but he quickly turned his anger into joy. Sun Ce compared him to Fan Li, Zigong, and also called him a Confucian merchant, which was simply tickling his flesh. He was born in a family of merchants, shameless, unthinkable, but he was not reconciled, he not only studied hard, enough to compete with ordinary scholars, but also practiced martial arts, skilled in bows and horses, and practiced both sage and martial arts, and taught him politely, Confucian merchants were the goals he set for himself in his heart, but others didn't care about him at all.

Unexpectedly, Sun Ce gave him these two words as soon as they met, how could he not be happy, and the trace of anger just now immediately turned into spring rain, nourishing his soul that had been excluded for many years. In the blink of an eye, the distance between him and Sun Ce was much closer.

"The general praises falsely, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Lu Zhu's smile was even brighter, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Du Raid is inexplicable. Is Elk Zhu a businessman? It seems that after Guo Jia came to Sun Ce's side, Sun Ce's ears and eyes were much better, and he even knew about Xuzhou. But Sun Ce is really reckless, can this be said casually?

"Zixu, what are you doing in a daze, come in and sit." Sun Ce took Du Xian's arm and led him into the account. Du Zheng came back to his senses, hurriedly agreed, and beckoned Lu Zhu together. After entering the big tent, there were two strong men standing behind the chairman, majestic and majestic. Du Xun was taken aback, then looked at Xu Chu, and then looked back at Sun Ce, surprised and delighted. "General?"

Sun Ce smiled. "Zhongkang, haven't you come to see your general?"

Du Xun has been Pei Xiang for more than a month, but Xu Chu has never been bird, and the two have never met. Du Xun has just arrived, and he has a lot of things to deal with, and he has heard of Xu Chu's name, but he has not gone to see Xu Chu. This time, I knew that Sun Ce was going to fight Xu Chu alone, and I believed that he should be able to solve it satisfactorily, but I didn't expect Xu Chu to become Sun Ce's guardian like Dian Wei.

Xu Chu is not a ranger like Dian Wei, as long as he has something to eat. He is a well-known hero in Qian County, in terms of force, he, who has the power to control the army, may not be able to compare with Xu Chu, otherwise he would have destroyed Xu Chu earlier, why wait for Sun Ce to do it himself.

Du Xun was still stunned, Xu Chu had already taken the first step in front of Du Xun and bowed down. "Xu Chu has seen Du Jun, Du Jun arrived in the county, Chu failed to visit in time, and I ask Du Jun to forgive me."

Seeing that Xu Chu was so deferential and took the initiative to admit that he had done something wrong before, Du Xun knew that Xu Chu was really convinced. He admired Sun Ce. Maybe it's because Sun Ce is a martial artist himself, and his martial arts are good, so he has a natural affinity for martial artists. First there were Huang Zhong, Deng Zhan, and now Xu Chu, there are more and more fierce generals under this account, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the future is bright.

Du Xi politely returned the salute. Xu Chu stood back and faithfully performed the duty of a guard.

Lu Zhu looked at it in his eyes, although he didn't know the details, he also heard the general situation. Xu Chu is not only stronger than ordinary people, but his conversation is also different from that of ordinary martial artists, he should be a strong man with strong force, and he has just declared himself a minister to Sun Ce. Listening to the accent, this is a native of Peiguo, which shows that Sun Ce already has a certain ability to control Peiguo Haoqiang, so that such a warrior can be his guard.

Working with him should be good for Tao Qian. Lu Zhu had another expectation in his heart.

Sun Ce saw the subtle changes in Lu Zhu's eyes in his eyes, and was secretly happy in his heart. It was the right time to subdue Xu Chu, if even Peiguo couldn't figure it out, how could Tao Qian believe him. He invited Lu Zhu to sit down, and enthusiastically asked about Xuzhou's customs, products and resources, and talked about the commercial development of Nanyang, with a posture of joining hands with Lu Zhu to do business, but did not mention Tao Qian's meaning, let alone Liu Bei. Although Lu Zhu felt that he could talk to Sun Ce very well, he did not dare to delay the task.

"General, Liu Bei accepted Yuan Shao's system of worship, and if he wants to fight for Yuzhou, he will soon go to Xiangxian, what plan does the general have?"

Sun Ce waved his hand. "Liu Bei is not in trouble, Elk Jun doesn't have to care, please also ask Elk Jun to repay Tao Envoy Jun, the two of us will join forces, and we will never let Liu Bei take advantage. Lu Jun is a native of the East China Sea, he should have heard the story of Tiandan Fire Bull Formation, Liu Bei is a fire ox, he rushed over with fire, no matter what the final victory or defeat is, he will not have a good end. ”

Lu Zhu agreed with Sun Ce. Liu Bei was a threat to Tao Qian, but he was no threat to Sun Ce, and it was Yuan Shao who could threaten Sun Ce. Sun Ce admitted this, instead of talking big, which shows that although he is young, he is still relatively realistic, and he is not arrogant and ignorant. Lu Zhu got up, took out a gift slip from his sleeve, and sent it to Sun Ce with both hands.

"Captain Zhu went to Pengcheng the day before yesterday to greet the general. Tao Zhijun was very grateful to the general for his sincerity, and asked me to bow back and forth to the general, and offered a thin salute, and asked the general not to refuse. ”

Tao Qian in Pengcheng? Sun Ce's eyebrows frowned slightly, and the smile on his face was a little faint. The meaning in this sentence is not very good. Liu Bei wants to be the pastor of Yuzhou, the target is Xiangxian, Tao Qian rushed to Pengcheng, is he worried that Liu Bei will attack Pengchengguo, or is he guarding against my Sun Ce? I asked Zhu Zhi to see Tao Qian, hoping that Zhu Zhi would be the prime minister of Peng Cheng and control Peng Chengguo, Tao Qian didn't say a word, but gave a generous gift, which is the meaning of refusal.

I don't know how to lift!

Sun Ce glanced at the gift list in front of him and smiled. "It won't be four thousand Danyang soldiers, right? I'm not short of elites. ”

Elk Zhu was embarrassed.
