When Sun Ce came, he rode lightly, and the speed was extremely fast, more than fifty miles, and it only took him half a day to arrive. Now that there are more Yuan Quan sisters, he can't run like that anymore, he can only walk slowly. Leaving Ruyang, just after entering Nanton County, it was dark. Anyway, he couldn't get to Pingyu County today, so Sun Ce decided to stay overnight in Nanton and leave tomorrow morning.

Sun Ce had passed through Nanton once before, but he had no idea. After a conversation with Guo Jia yesterday, I learned that Nanton has a great background. The father of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, made the Nanton Order and died in office, when Liu Xiu was only nine years old. He should have been bullied in Nanton, and he didn't have a good impression of Nanton, so later Xingnanton refused to reward more, and was only willing to rent land for another year, but he didn't expect Nanton's father to be dissatisfied and wanted ten years, Liu Xiu refused, Nanton's father was sarcastic and squeezed, and finally forced Liu Xiu to add another year.

As a result, Sun Ce had a deeper feeling for the folk customs of Nanton. Even the emperor dares to force him, he is a Yuzhou pastor, he is a fart, it is better to keep a low profile and cause less trouble.

But things did not follow people's wishes, rushed to the Huangting in the west of Nanton City, he was just about to let people contact the accommodation, there was a group of more than 100 people rushed over from behind, the chariots, horses Xiaoxiao, pedestrians bows and arrows at their waists, murderous past, the momentum is comparable to a large army, more awesome than his Yuzhou herd. In the middle of the team, there was a light car, on which sat a person, about twenty-five or sixteen, with a straight waist, dignified appearance, and a majestic demeanor, and at first glance he was a ruthless character. Seeing Sun Ce from afar, as soon as he raised his hand, the knights beside him immediately gave an order.

"Stop!"

In an instant, more than 100 people all stopped and strangled their mounts.

What a decree forbidden! Sun Ce was taken aback, isn't this person a general with troops? Chen Zhi brought people around to prevent accidents. Sun Ce waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be nervous. These people were not armoured, and the bow at their waists was not wound, and they did not look like an army with a mission, and it should have been a matter of habit.

The young man crouched on the carriage, stared at Sun Ce, and said a few words to the knight beside him. The knight rode up to Sun Ce, reined in his mount, and arched his hand.

"Dare to ask, but go to Pingyu County to join the army? The head of my family sees that the foot is extraordinary, and he is willing to walk with the step. ”

Chen Zhi's eyes widened, and he was about to scold him, but was stopped by Sun Ce. Sun Ce wanted to laugh very much, who is this thing, so awesome, where is this army recruitment, this is simply going to attack the city. But after coming to this era for so long, he is also used to the flamboyance of the Han people, and he has the intention to tease.

"Dare to ask your family master's surname?"

The knight looked at Sun Ce and snorted, the corners of his mouth almost reaching the root of his ears. He raised his hand. "Listen to your accent, unlike the locals, I don't blame you. The surname of the head of my family is Lu Zhenfan, and the word Ziheng is a famous hero in Nanton County, and he is a big official in the county. I heard that General Sun had recruited heroes to participate in the grand event, so he resigned and wanted to do something big with General Sun. Seeing that although you are young, you are also a hero, if you also go to join the army, you will be a colleague in the future, and you should be friends. ”

Sun Ce suddenly realized. Lu Fan, this is a heavy general of Eastern Wu. His status in his own camp is slightly inferior to the four governors of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, but he is more important than Cheng Pu and Gan Ning. In fact, he served as the lieutenant earlier than Zhou Yu, but not because of his ability, but because of his loyalty. When Sun Ce was alive, Lu Fan was his confidant, loyal, not avoiding difficulties, and responsible for the safety of the Sun family.

"Tell your head of the family, you don't need to go to Pingyu, General Sun is here."

"General Sun here?" The knight turned his head and looked around. "Where?"

Sun Ce raised his hand and pointed to his nose. "I am."

"You ......" The knight suddenly reacted, looked at Sun Ce again, turned his horse's head, and flew away. He rushed to Lu Fan's side and said a few words, Lu Fan turned his head and looked over, stared at Sun Ce for a while, jumped out of the car, flicked his sleeves, strode over, climbed Sun Ce's reins, looked up at Sun Ce carefully, and suddenly stroked his palm and smiled. "Haha, yes, it's different." After speaking, he took a step back and bowed. "Lu Fan has seen the general."

Sun Ce turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile while returning the salute: "You're not afraid of being deceived by me?" ”

Lu Fan shook his head. "The grass snake can't pretend to be a real dragon, and any bird can't pretend to be a phoenix, the appearance can be faked, and the temperament is natural." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the Qinghai skull that Sun Ce was riding. "This kind of dragon foal is rare in the Central Plains, and non-heroes can't ride it." Another point to the four-wheeled cart that Sister Yuan Quan was sitting in. "I have never seen such a luxury car in the whole Runan, and I think it is made by Nanyang Wood School. The sum of the three is enough to prove the identity of the general. Just now, he was far away, and he couldn't see his face clearly, which was already negligence, but now he looked at the general himself, if he was wrong, Lu Fan really had no eyes, and he was willing to waste his eyes, and he would never have this heart of fame. ”

Sun Ce laughed. Although what Lu Fan said was a little exaggerated, what he said was not bad. He was dressed very ordinarily, but Qinghai Cheng was not an ordinary war horse, and the four-wheeled car that Sister Yuan Quan was sitting in was the first in the history of the Han Dynasty. With these factors, Lu Fan can make a bet.

Exaggerated speech is actually a common method of the Han people, which is the same as Xu Shao's playing Yuedan commentary.

I have to admit that Lu Fan has extraordinary vision and judgment, and his bet is not a blind bet, but a prepared one. He took so many people to apply, naturally he made a full balance of interests and disadvantages, the result of careful consideration, and even heard the news that Xu Shao vomited blood yesterday before he finally decided, otherwise he would not have waited until today, until now.

"Ziheng's strength is not weak, these entourages are very capable. Does Ziheng usually rule them with the art of war? ”

Lu Fan arched his hand, full of confidence. "The world is in turmoil, and non-strong soldiers can't seek peace. Although Fan is not talented, he has made small achievements in the past few years by using the art of war to the Shu Army. It's just that I haven't met the Lord yet, so I stinged here, waiting for the opportunity. Now that I have to meet the general, if I am willing to lie in wait again, won't I waste this effort? ”

Sun Ce laughed. Lu Fan has a strong sense of dedication, and he should have come for the "wife and son". It doesn't matter, the pursuit of glory and wealth is human nature, as long as the means are right. Sun Ce looked around and said, "Zifan has a lot of entourage, I'm afraid I can't live in this pavilion, why don't we camp in this wilderness, let's hunt some wild things, drink and talk, how about it?" ”

Lu Fan shook his head. "Fan thinks it's inappropriate."

"Oh, why?"

"The general is new to Chenzhou, so he may not be familiar with the situation. Yuzhou is too close to Luoyang, and the households are solid, and there are often routs and rogues. There were yellow turbans before, and last year there were Xiliang rout troops attacking, and some time ago I heard that there was a big battle in Pengcheng, and many yellow scarves were defeated, and the stars were scattered in all directions, and some people came to our Yuzhou. They are as few as three or five hundred, and as many as thousands, and they are extremely vicious, and the generals are brave and invincible, so naturally it is okay, in case they disturb the female dependents, how can it be good? ”

Sun Ce looked back at the four-wheeled cart. The doors and windows were closed, and there were no signs outside, how did Lu Fan know that there was a female dependent?

Lu Fan smiled. "The general came from the north, so naturally he went to Ruyang. I went to Ruyang to pay homage to General Yuan, met the general's wife, had a relationship, and had a few conversations. This car is not for ordinary people to ride, and the door is closed, if it is not for the general's wife, why is it so? ”

Before Lu Fan's words fell, two light coughs came from the car.

Sun Ce nodded. "Ziheng is right, it is the insider in the car."
