"Did he say that?"

Tao Qian learned Sun Ce's words from Chen Deng, and he couldn't believe it.

"That's exactly what he said!"

Chen Deng nodded seriously.

"Isn't he afraid that he will break the contract in the future!"

Tao Qian said curiously.

"Depending on what he means, his purpose may not be more than just a reward."

Chen Deng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"What does that mean?"

Tao Qian was puzzled.

"A lot of things can happen in ten years, if the lord is here, then Xuzhou is naturally controlled by the lord, and it is not difficult to force us to pay off the remuneration with his strength, but if the lord is not there, Xuzhou changes hands, he can use this reason to attack Xuzhou, Sun Ce This person should not be underestimated."

Chen Deng sighed.

"It's because I underestimated Sun Ce, I didn't expect him to have such a scheming at such an age."

After thinking clearly, Tao Qian also sighed.

"Fortunately, Sun Ce is not a bully, and he will not attack Xuzhou in a short time."

Chen Deng explained.

"But in the future, don't you just watch Xuzhou Foundation fall into the hands of Sun Ce?"

Tao Qian was a little worried, but more unwilling, he didn't want Xuzhou to fall into the hands of others.

"If Liu Bei is willing to stay in Xuzhou to assist the lord, then Sun Ce will definitely not attack Xuzhou."

Chen Deng said expectantly, but he also knew that it was just expectation.

"Why is that?"

Tao Qian was puzzled.

"Don't forget, the lord must not forget that when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo, it was Liu Bei's assistance that Sun Jian temporarily saved his life and met Sun Ce, and at the same time, the soldiers and horses of the Sun family were also saved."

Chen Deng reminded.

"But Liu Bei has Qingzhou in hand, how can he stay in Xuzhou, this is just a fool's dream."

Tao Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Yes, unless Qingzhou falls into the hands of others."

Chen Deng said bitterly, obviously he didn't think that Qingzhou would be taken by others.

However, Chen Deng was right, the situation in Qingzhou is indeed unfavorable to Liu Bei's side.

A large number of Jizhou soldiers and horses entered Qingzhou, but most of the soldiers and horses led by Guan Hai did not react, but assisted Jizhou soldiers and horses to enter the counties and counties of Qingzhou.

After learning of this situation again, Shi Xiu couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and broke into the garrison of Guanhai with a detachment of men.

"Guan Hai, what do you mean?"

Shi Xiu angrily reprimanded Guan Hai.

"Who are you, dare to question so-and-so!"

was questioned by Shi Xiu, an unknown person, how could Guan Hai accept it.

"It was General Guan who stayed to spy on you, a thief, and sure enough, you are a rebellious person who doesn't know what to do, and you are rebellious."

Shi Xiu didn't hide his identity at all, and once again angrily reprimanded Guan Hai.

"Good! is a good Guan Yu, it seems that a certain choice is really right. ”

Guan Hai didn't laugh angrily, originally he was still a little guilty, but after learning that Shi Xiu was about staying to spy on him, the guilt in his heart instantly disappeared, and some were just glad about the choice.

"Bastard, you are a rebel, and you also have the face to say that General Guan is not!"

Shi Xiu was furious, how could he stand Guan Hai's taunting of Guan Yu because he was already short-tempered.

"Damn it!"

Guan Hai sneered, at this time, he had returned to his thirst for killing and cold-bloodedness when he was Kou.

"You dare to kill so-and-so!"

Shi Xiu was shocked, when he came, he was looking at his enthusiasm, and he never thought about the consequences, but now when he heard that Guan Hai was going to kill him, Shi Xiu also panicked.

"It's to kill you, even if you surrender, so-and-so will kill you!"

Guan Hai had a cruel smile on his face.

"Presumptuous!"

Shi Xiuqiang raised his momentum and angrily reprimanded Guan Hai.

"Take it!"

Guan Hai would pay attention to these and directly order Shi Xiu to be taken down left and right.

Shi Xiu naturally wouldn't be caught, but as Guan Hai's large number of subordinates rushed in, Shi Xiu was still captured, not only him, but also everyone he brought.

"Rip this man up!"

The cruelty that Guan Hai hadn't seen for a long time was used on Shi Xiu.

Shi Xiu has been missing for many days, Jian Yong's side is naturally panicked, and in a panic, he took someone to protect Liu Bei's family and fled in the direction of Xuzhou.

After Jian Yong fled, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou entered Qingzhou faster.

……

"Master Thorn Shi, Sun Ce has taken his leave!"

After staying in Xuzhou for a few days, Sun Ce finally began to return, and finally Tao Qian agreed to Sun Ce's proposal to take the agreed 60% remuneration as the final remuneration, and Tao Qian also chose to pay 20% of the remuneration first, and then slowly repay the remaining remuneration.

Even if it is 20%, there are 30,000 stone grain, tens of thousands of catties of ore, 600 war horses, 600 ploughing cattle, and some weight such as wood, silk, and linen.

"Bo Fu take care all the way, I hope that you and I can be in the same boat in the future."

Tao Qian said with a smile, but behind the smile was endless sadness, this time he retreated from Cao Cao, but it also brought endless hidden dangers to Xuzhou.

Cao Cao was not defeated, his anger and hatred not only did not dissipate, but flourished, Sun Ce's wolf ambition he knew very well, unpaid remuneration is a hidden danger, and he also knew that even if the remuneration was fully paid, Sun Ce would still be eyeing Xuzhou.

"Sun Ce is willing to serve the assassin history!"

Sun Ce said with a smile, looking so sincere and credible.

"It's serious!"

Tao Qian laughed.

"It's not too early, Sun Ce will say goodbye to Master Shi first."

Sun Ce respectfully bowed to Tao Qian, this is a gift from a junior, not a gift from a subordinate, so Sun Ce's gift is very natural.

"Envoy, it's a pity that Envoy Jun has to return to Qingzhou, otherwise Sun Ce will definitely invite Envoy Jun to Jiangdong to stay for a while."

Bidding farewell to Tao Qian for the time being, Sun Ce came to Liu Bei.

"If there is a chance, Liu Bei will definitely go to Jiangdong and appreciate the style of Jiangdong."

Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Sun Ce is waiting for the king!"

Sun Ce clenched his fists and said respectfully.

"Definitely, definitely!"

Liu Bei had a kind smile on his face, Liu Bei didn't know anything about Sun Ce's transaction with Tao Qian, as for Sun Ce getting benefits from Tao Qian, Liu Bei knew some but not comprehensively.

"General Guan, General Zhang, you must also come to Jiangdong to have a look."

Sun Ce smiled at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said.

"Don't worry, Guan will come to Jiangdong to take a look."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled.

"I heard that there are delicious wines and delicacies in Jiangdong, and there are countless heroes, Zhang Feiding came to take a look."

Zhang Fei laughed.

"And the beauty!"

Sun Ce looked up to the sky and laughed.

"It's not too early, if you continue to talk, you have to delay in Xuzhou for another night, don't say goodbye, Sun Ce will go!"

Sun Ce arched his hand and said to everyone.

"Take care!"

"Take care!"

……

"Look, lord!"

Not long after Sun Ce and the others left Xuzhou City, they met a fast horse, and the person on horseback looked panicked and had some scars on his body.

"Stop him! Thou shalt not hurt his life! ”

Sun Ce commanded in a deep voice.

"No!"

Zhou Tai rushed out, and a moment later, the man was brought back by Zhou Tai.

"Who are you?"

Han Shizhong asked, this kind of trivial matter will naturally not be opened by Sun Ce.

"The villain escaped from Qingzhou, and I came to see the lord Liu Bei."

The man hurriedly spoke, but his voice was obviously hoarse, and it looked like he hadn't drunk water for a long time.

"Give him some water!"

Sun Ce commanded his subordinates.

The man took the kettle and drank it quickly, coughing incessantly.

"What happened in Qingzhou?"

Han Shizhong continued to ask.

"Guan Hai betrayed the lord and led the soldiers and horses of Jizhou into Qingzhou, Jian Yong and Shi Xiu couldn't stop it."

Obviously, when this person came, Shi Xiu was not dead, and Jian Yong had not escaped.

"Sheko!"

"The last general!"

"Take him to Xuzhou to see Liu Bei!"

Sun Ce commanded in a deep voice.

"No!"

"Lord!"

After Xie Yingdeng left with the people, Han Shizhong looked at Sun Ce.

"We can't interfere in this matter, it's important to return to Jiangdong."

Obviously, Sun Ce had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the north.

"No!"
