"Master Thorn Shi, don't come unharmed!"

Sun Ce greeted Tao Qian confidently, when he was in the Tiger Prison Pass, Sun Ce got along with other princes as a junior.

"Bo Fu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are even more outstanding!"

Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he was still well hidden by Tao Qian, and now that the situation has changed, Sun Ce is no longer the isolated young man, but an overlord who occupies a state and has 100,000 soldiers under his command.

"Thank you, Lord Thorn, for the compliment!"

Sun Ce generously accepted Tao Qian's praise, which was very unpopular with Sun Ce, but Sun Ce did just that, and he did it on purpose.

The reason why this is so is to obtain greater benefits in the subsequent conversation.

Sun Ce's answer caught Tao Qian a little off guard, in his opinion, Sun Ce should answer a few words humbly, but Sun Ce's straightforwardness made him a little uncomfortable.

"Sun Ce's dispatch of troops this time was at the invitation of Lord Assassin Shi, Lord Assassin Shi should know how much loss there will be when a soldier and horse with a scale of tens of thousands is dispatched, and I believe that Lord Assassin Shi should not let Sun Ce bear it alone."

Since he was planning to communicate with Tao Qian in a straightforward way, Sun Ce naturally wouldn't use any side-knocking method to tactfully speak.

"This, of course not!"

Sun Ce's straightforwardness made Tao Qian very uncomfortable, because there were only two choices in front of him, and there were only two ways to answer.

If you agree, you will inevitably have to pay a great price, even more than the loss of Sun Ce's troops, if you don't agree, I'm afraid that Sun Ce will not only have to withdraw the army, but may even eat Xuzhou with Cao Cao.

Whether it is agreed or not, it is not good for Tao Qian, but this choice must be made, the lesser of two evils, Tao Qian can only choose to agree.

"Xuzhou is naturally willing to provide the help it deserves."

Tao Qian smiled, but he was angry in his heart.

"General Sun, Miss Mi Lan from Mi Mansion has arrived at your mansion, and Xuzhou is half of her mother's family, you can't be too ruthless!"

Chen Deng on the side said with a smile.

Hearing Chen Deng's words, Sun Ce's face showed a smile, originally even if there was no Mi Lan, he would have sent troops, after all, Xuzhou is very rich, how can he be worthy of himself if he doesn't make some benefits, it just so happens that Jiangdong is in the development stage.

Mi Lan's arrival can be said to have given Sun Ce a woman and a batch of good things for nothing.

"Lord Chen is very right, Sun Ce is naturally not the villain who is greedy for money, and he can come as he wants."

Sun Ce laughed and said, Chen Deng's words will indeed be his army, so that he will not be able to speak casually, but he will not ask for less benefits.

"Yesterday's battle, hundreds of soldiers of our army died on the battlefield, and thousands of people were injured, here we need to be thorned in the Shi's help, after all, it is now on the boundary of Xuzhou, and a certain is from Jiujiang to bring troops over, not to mention money, even the grain and grass are not very neat!"

Sun Ce directly took the damage from yesterday's battle to benefit.

"Otherwise, let's wait for Cao Cao to retreat, Cao's army has already suffered heavy losses, and I'm afraid it won't be long before it will withdraw from Xuzhou."

Yesterday's battle, accurate is the battle of three consecutive days, from Sun Ce led his troops to participate in the battle, killed and retreated the Cao army, and then to Shang Shi's apprentice, Xu Ning led the troops to raid the Cao army's camp, and finally to Han Shizhong, Xie Yingdeng ambushed the Cao army and severely damaged the Cao army.

After three days of fighting, Cao Cao once again injured nearly 10,000 people, when he first sent out his troops, Cao Cao had an army of 100,000, and now there are less than 30,000 soldiers who can still move alone.

It can be said that the battle in Xuzhou has made Cao Cao's efforts in the past few years all in vain, of course, the remaining people are definitely the elite of the elite.

Moreover, in this battle, Xuzhou was also killed by Cao Cao, Tao Qian's original army of 20,000 or 30,000 only had a few thousand people left, and the veterans who were temporarily recruited back were also killed and wounded more than 20,000 people, and Liu Bei's 50,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the combat effectiveness, were less than 10,000.

If Sun Ce did not send troops and Lu Bu did not attack Yanzhou, I am afraid that in another month and a half, Xuzhou would be attacked by Cao Cao, and Liu Bei's forces would also be destroyed.

"Lord Assassin's words are wrong, these soldiers under my command are already a little disgusted with helping Xuzhou desperately, and now if the soldiers who died and were injured in the battle are not compensated, I am afraid it will make them even more disgusted, maybe the next battle will not be so hard, and they may even do something drastic, so I think it is better to stabilize them first."

Sun Ce's words did sound reasonable, but in fact they were naked threats, Sun Ce himself understood, Tao Qian, and Chen Deng also understood.

"What Bo Fu said is very true, I don't know how Bo Fu is going to arrange it!"

Tao Qian said in agreement.

"The war dead will be compensated 10,000 yuan per household, the seriously injured and disabled will be compensated 8,000 yuan, the seriously injured and refractory will be compensated 7,000 yuan, the lightly injured and refractory will be compensated 2,000 yuan, and the lightly injured will be compensated 800 yuan. What do you think? ”

After Sun Ce finished speaking, he looked at Tao Qian.

"Bo Fu, isn't this compensation a little too high?"

Tao Qian and Chen Deng's faces were ugly, for Xuzhou, this was within the range of bearing, but this had to pay such a huge price at the beginning, Tao Qian and the two were a little uncomfortable.

"I have heard for a long time that Lord Shi is benevolent and righteous to the people, and when I see it today, it is an exaggeration!"

Sun Ce's face instantly became gloomy.

"Bo Fu is angry!"

Tao Qian hurriedly spoke.

"This money is for those soldiers who are killed and injured in battle, they are all fathers and sons, they are the pillars of a family, whether they are killed in battle or seriously injured, the impact is not him, but a family, if it is for himself, it can definitely be discussed, but this is for those soldiers who were killed and wounded in the war under a certain man, this is not negotiable, except for Xuzhou, after returning to Jiangdong, it will also be compensated."

Sun Ce's attitude was extremely tough. This is an era of showing people's lives like grass mustard, whether it is benevolence and righteousness Liu Bei, virtuous Liu Biao or benevolence Tao Qian, in fact, he still does not take those ordinary people to heart, Sun Ce does not want to be such a person, in his previous life, he attached great importance to the respect between people, and now he does not want his subordinates to become animals that are inferior to pigs and dogs.

"Bo Fu is right, Tao Qian knows his mistake!"

Hearing Sun Ce's rebuke, Tao Qian bowed his head, and he agreed with Sun Ce's words.

"These money, I will prepare it soon and hand it over to Bo Fu, but I also hope that this money can be handed over to those soldiers or their families."

Tao Qian said solemnly.

"It's nature!"

Sun Ce replied categorically.

"After that, the compensation for the dead and wounded soldiers in the battle, it should also be said that Xuzhou gave Jiangdong compensation, don't want anything else, one is to ask for iron ore, the other is to ask for horses, grain, I Jiangdong is not lacking, but I Jiangdong is very short of other things."

Straight to the point, Sun Ce went straight to the point.
