In Qian County, Liu Bei sat in the hall, holding his cheeks, looking at the hall in a daze.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood aside, looking at each other, and their faces were a little pale. Jian Yong sat on the steps and kept patting his forehead.

The halls and halls, corridors, and courtyards are full of large and small boxes, which are either five baht or gold, or all kinds of brocade silk, precious clothes, or beautifully made clothes, or rare treasures. In a word, it's all money.

They guessed that Cao Ren's family was rich, but they didn't expect Cao Ren's family to be so rich, no wonder he was able to gather more than a thousand rangers to run rampant in Huaisi. With so much money, not to mention a thousand, two thousand, five thousand people can be recruited.

In an instant, a thought flashed through Liu Bei's heart. "Or ...... We took the money and recruited our own people, right? Without waiting for Guan Yu and the others to speak, he shook his head again, smiled bitterly, and grinned in distress. Now is not the time, not the time. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other and knew what Liu Bei meant. was defeated by Sun Ce twice, and each time it was worse than the other, but watching Sun Ce win consecutive battles, Liu Bei no longer had the confidence to face Sun Ce again. Even if they take the money and recruit people, where can they go? Qingzhou and Xuzhou can't go, Yuzhou can't stay, and Youzhou can't go back.

What's the use of having 5,000 or 10,000 horses, there's no land.

"Xuande, do you want to ......" Jian Yong suddenly turned around and reminded softly, looking at the belongings in his eyes as he spoke.

Liu Bei's eyes flickered, he groaned for a long time, and shook his head. "Can't do this, General Sun can't trust me all the time, sending me to copy the Cao family may be a temptation, even if we can buy the soldiers who came with us, can we still buy Du Xian? Besides......" he hesitated. "Where can we go? If you copy someone else, you can still go to Yuan Shao, but it's the Cao family, so you can't get it...... The money was swallowed by Yuan Shao, and he became a substitute for the dead. ”

Jian Yong smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sat back down.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, Du Xi walked in quickly with someone, glanced at the belongings in the house, and was a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure, walked quickly to the hall, and arched his hand to Liu Bei. Liu Bei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Du Xiang, how is the situation over there?"

"It's over, it's loading." Du Xun turned around and looked at the large and small boxes that were full of them. "There are so many things, I'm afraid you won't be able to transport them away for a while, it's better to take some of the valuables and gold with you first, go and report to the general first, and I will requisition the servants and vehicles, and send the rest over."

Liu Bei frowned. "But General Sun's order is for me to go back with all the money and food."

"Don't worry, I'll write a codex for you to take back, and I'll bear the general's blame."

Liu Bei nodded and reluctantly agreed. In fact, he didn't want to delay too long, and he wanted to rush back early. This matter has been done with all his heart and harvest, Sun Ce should be satisfied, the reward is inevitable, maybe he can be promoted, at least to be a song leader. Qu Chang is a petty official, Liu Bei doesn't pay attention to it, but he cherishes this opportunity to train soldiers. He believed that his comprehension ability was no worse than that of those illiterate generals, and even if Sun Ce had reservations, he could learn quickly. When he accumulates military exploits and is promoted to a lieutenant or even a general, he will have the capital to establish himself. When Sun Ce can reuse him, he will follow Sun Ce, and if Sun Ce keeps guarding against him, he can also stand on his own.

It is normal for monarchs and ministers to divide and merge, and as for fame, it is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning. The winner is king, the loser is the villain, the important thing is whether you have the ability to survive and have the last laugh.

Little Overlord? Hehe, my ancestor defeated the high emperor of the overlord Xiang Yu.

"Okay, just follow Du Xiang." Liu Bei stood up and asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to arrange for someone to load the car and prepare to leave overnight.

Du Xun didn't stop it, but quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't worry about Liu Bei, Cao Ren's family was rich, but Cao Hong's family was richer. He was worried that Liu Bei would get interested in seeing the money, so he ran away with the money. Sun Ce was anxious to use the money, otherwise he would not have made such a decision, Liu Bei fled with the money, and Sun Ce's winter offensive was about to be delayed.

Liu Bei is not a gentleman, Sun Ce may have the intention of testing Liu Bei, but if he knew that the Cao family was so rich, he would definitely not do it.

——

"Madame, I want you something." Sun Ce took a sip of wine, peeled off a petal of citrus and put it in his mouth. "When General Yuan and Yuan Shao entered the palace together, it is said that Yuan Shao made a windfall, and when he left Luoyang, he loaded dozens of cars, and General Yuan didn't have a point? But if you keep a little bit, you will not be so miserable. ”

Yuan Heng was full, so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, leaning on Yuan Quan's arms, yawning one after another. Sun Ce was very energetic, and the more he drank, the more energetic he became, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't control his mouth a little, and began to talk nonsense.

Yuan Quan glared at him. "You're holding a grudge like that? Will you call me that in the future? ”

Sun Ce smiled. "What's wrong with calling Madame, it's a matter of time before you call Madame."

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about. Yuan Quan suddenly reacted, and his face flushed with shame. I...... When did I say I was going to marry you. ”

"You feel sorry for Ah Heng, and you can't let go of Ah Yao, what other good choice do you have besides marrying me?" Sun Ce said with a smile: "Besides, this is not against the ancient etiquette, in the past, didn't all the daughters of big families marry with sisters?" ”

Yuan Quan couldn't help laughing: "You really will find a reason for yourself, but unfortunately this reason is not valid." The original meaning of the word 媵 is to marry, not to marry, even if it is a dowry, it may not be a sister, and it may be a courtier or a maidservant, do you treat me as a maidservant? ”

Sun Ce was stunned. That's what does it mean? He scratched his head. "Do I need a reason? All I need is your willingness. Originally, when General Yuan said that he wanted to marry his daughter to me, I thought it was you, so I agreed, who knew that he was talking about Ah Heng. It's not that Ah Heng is bad, but she's too young, and it will take several years for her to become an adult. ”

"I was married at the time."

"It has a relationship with someone who is married, and you can still get married, but if it doesn't work, I'll cut that scumbag. To tell you the truth, I did have the intention of killing him at the time. Sun Ce smiled. If nothing else, just because he married a woman like you and didn't know how to cherish it, he deserved to die. This kind of man is simply scum, don't marry if you don't have this confidence, and cherish it if you marry. I married you for the power of the Yuan family, and I don't cherish it, he doesn't deserve to die, uh, who deserves to die? ”

Looking at Sun Ce's upside-down nonsense while burping, Yuan Quan felt ridiculous, but he couldn't get angry in his heart, and there was a little sweetness. "Okay, don't drink it, if you drink too much, I have to take care of you."

Sun Ce glanced at Yuan Quan, remembering the incident in Nanton County, and couldn't help but laugh secretly. "You don't want to?"

"I ......" Yuan Quan stopped, twisted his head away, and ignored Sun Ce. Sun Ce stood up and flicked his sleeves. "I don't want to...... Forget it, don't drink, one person is drunk, I'll go to rest, you ...... Self-deed. Before he could finish speaking, he stumbled under his feet, fell beside Yuan Quan, struggled twice and couldn't get up, and muttered: "His mother's, what's the matter...... Drunk again, it's really ...... Wine is not intoxicating...... People get drunk. His head tilted, pillowed on Yuan Quan's lap, and snored loudly.

"You ......" Yuan Quan was at a loss.
