Geng Bao arched his hand, turned around and left.

Sun Ce sneered and was silent, watching Geng Bao step out of the middle door with one foot, before he said slowly. "Master Geng, please stay."

Geng Bao stopped and turned his head to sneer. "General Bao Suzhi is funny, but this joke is too much, not only against human nature, but also discredited the identity of a general. If the general still talks like that, I don't think we have anything to talk about. ”

Sun Ce was dismissive. "Do you believe that if you go out of this door now, I will send Yuan Tan back to Jizhou immediately, and I won't take a penny?"

Geng Bao was slightly stunned, and then his face became embarrassed. Although he tried his best to hide it, the foot that hadn't stepped out of the door couldn't be retracted. He is Yuan Shao's master bookkeeper, he knows Yuan Shao's thoughts, and redeeming Yuan Tan is not what he wants, but just a means to appease Guo Tu and other Ruying factions. Besides, Yuan Tan has been captured for so long, he has not said anything, and he really can't say anything. But if Yuan Tan really goes back, even if he can't take charge of the army again, it will be troublesome, and the father and son are relatively uncomfortable enough.

Geng Bao looked at Sun Ce again. When he met Sun Ce for the first time, Sun Ce was obviously surprised by his appearance, he didn't know his intentions, and he didn't have time to discuss with others, these decisions should come from him. This is a little different from his expectations, doesn't it mean that Sun Ce is a martial artist, is he brave and unscrupulous, why is he so insidious?

Geng Bao stood stiffly at the door, neither advancing nor retreating.

Sun Ce twisted his fingers, unconcealing the contempt in his eyes. "Yuan Benchu took a few photos of General Yuan Yao for a few months, and I raised a son for Yuan Benchu for half a year, this favor is repaid, and it is time to send him back. You are reluctant to spend a thousand dollars, and some people are willing to do it. ”

"Who?"

"Do you have to say it?"

Geng Bao opened his mouth, but swallowed the question back. Yuan Tan is not only the son of Yuan Shao, but also the grandson of Li Ying, and the heir of the party's high hopes. There are not a few rich people in the party, and Zhang Miao is one of them, ranking among the eight chefs, and he is not a person who is poor in money. But in this way, the day when the party and Yuan Shao parted ways will not be far away.

"One thousand gold is not a small amount, please ...... general"

"Who told you about a thousand gold? Three thousand, not a single child is missing. Sun Ce unceremoniously interrupted Geng Bao and shouted: "Give you two months, before the Shangsi Festival next year, if the three thousand gold is not delivered to me, I will send Yuan Tan back for the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

Sun Ce paused, let Geng Bao digest it, and then said: "There is one more thing, in view of Yuan Shao's edict and the intention of rebellion, in order to avoid affecting the ancestors of the Yuan family, the Yuan cemetery in Ruyang will not leave him a place, let him choose a cemetery in Jizhou, so as not to die without a place to be buried." It's okay if he refuses to take Yuan Tan back, Yuan Tan can still worship his eldest father, but the grass house where Yuan Benchu was mourned cannot be left and must be cleaned up. Yuan Benchu is fifty this year, right? In a few years, under the Nine Springs, see how he explains. ”

Geng Bao's scalp tingled when he heard this. This is tantamount to expelling Yuan Shao from the sect. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are both grandchildren of Yuan Tang, and Yuan Tang has four sons, the eldest son Yuan Ping, the second son Yuan Cheng, the third son Yuan Feng, and the fourth son Yuan Kui. Yuan Ping did not live to adulthood, there are no heirs, that branch is broken, Yuan Cheng is equal to the eldest son, Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan are passed down in the same line, and now Sun Ce wants to drive Yuan Shao out of the Yuan clan, which is equivalent to cutting off Yuan Cheng's bloodline, and it is also the biggest insult to Yuan Shao. And if Yuan Tan is allowed to skip Yuan Shao and directly inherit Yuan Cheng, it will undoubtedly nail Yuan Shao to the pillar of shame.

Who will be expelled from the family and not buried in the family cemetery? Of course, they are people who cannot glorify their ancestors, but they want to disgrace their ancestors. Sun Ce made it very clear that Yuan Shao was rebellious, and this reason was very sufficient. If Yuan Shao can't defeat Sun Ce and can't control Yuzhou, this crime will be with him for the rest of his life, until he can't pick it up when he enters the ground, and he will have to face the questioning of the ancestors of the Yuan family under Jiuquan.

This consequence is too serious, too serious for Geng Bao to bear. Sweat rolled down Geng Bao's forehead, and soon soaked through the collar. He weighed it for a while, turned around and came to the hall, and bowed to Sun Ce.

"I want to see Yuan Xiansi first, and ask the general to fulfill it."

"Yes." Sun Cepi didn't smile. "I'm a very reasonable person. Come on, go and ask Yuan Xiansi to come. He waved his hand. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany Master Geng much. Master Geng can wait in the side yard.

Geng Bao retreated with interest, only chattering, and no longer half arrogant. As soon as he went out, Yuan Quan couldn't help but laugh. "Are you really going to do that?"

"Is that okay?" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows. "You don't think I'm overstepping my responsibilities and interfering in your Yuan family's affairs, right?"

"You are the heir appointed by your father, what do you have to do to replace you? Boyang has now inherited the title of Marquis of An Guoting, and he is also the descendant of his great-grandfather, he is still young, without your help, how can he be today. ”

"Alright, alright, I know what you mean." Sun Ce smiled and raised his hand. Although this matter is to anger Yuan Shu, Yuan Quan will not object, but after all, Yu Li is not in agreement, and interfering in the Yuan family's family affairs will affect Yuan Yao's reputation, making people think that he is just a puppet. Yuan Quan didn't say anything, he was saving face for him. "Next time, I'll leave this kind of thing to Boyang to do."

"Thank you for your understanding." Yuan Quan nodded gratefully, paused, and said: "But then again, if you really let Boyang do it, he can't do it so well, Boyang is still too gentleman after all." ”

"I'm going to be angry!" Sun Cehu blushed and said angrily: "You are scolding me for being a scoundrel." ”

Yuan Quan greeted with a smile. "How dare you, how dare you. I don't have any other intentions, but I am talking about the style of doing things, or whether you are more satisfying to my late father. ”

Sun Ce laughed loudly, and Yuan Quan also raised his sleeves to cover the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't hide his crooked eyebrows and strong love. She felt that her father Yuan Shu had done countless ridiculous things in his life, but only this one was the most perfect. In the troubled times, Yuan Yao had no ability to protect himself at all, and only a hero like Sun Ce could inherit his career.

"Are you really planning to blackmail Yuan Benchu's three thousand gold?"

"What do you mean? Your father deserves it. The two brothers robbed the palace at the beginning, why were they all taken away by Yuan Benchu, but your father wanted to go to Nanyang to see people's faces? Besides, as you know, I'm really short of money right now, not only do I have empty pockets, but I also owe a lot of debts, and I should ask him for some debts. Let me tell you, if the Son of Heaven can come up with 20,000 gold, even if my sister refuses to marry, I will ask her to marry. ”

Sun Ce scratched his head, and the smile on his face turned into a wry smile. "I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't have a family, even a little kid can see that I'm so poor now. If this battle is not fought well next year, these industries in Yuzhou will be cheaper than Yuan Benchu, and collecting some interest in advance can also reduce some losses. ”

Yuan Quan said: "Then do you want to discuss it with each family and borrow a little more." As long as the general speaks, they have to give a little bit. ”

"No, I've already borrowed a lot, and borrowing more will make them worry about my ability to repay and lose confidence." Sun Ce narrowed his eyes and sighed softly. "Another way of saying that the government is forcing the people to rebel, the more power you have, the more you can't rush it, or you will sit on top of the salary and play with fire, and one day you will set yourself on fire."
