Cai Mao returned to Cai Zhou overnight, looking at the unrecognizable manor, her nose was sour, and she almost cried.

It was only at this moment that he truly realized how dangerous his family's situation was. Sun Ce is determined to fight to the end, if he hadn't captured the Kuai Yue family, no matter whether Kuai Yue besieged but did not attack or took the initiative to attack, the Cai family would have been greatly injured.

The wicked have their own evil grinding, Kuai Yue prides himself on being smart, and he can only admit it when he meets Sun Ce. In the end, both he and Kuai Yue made a mistake: they didn't realize how cruel the war really was. During the war, he actually left his family outside the city, and he was not prepared at all. After all, a manor is a manor, and there is no problem in dealing with some rogues, but when encountering thieves like Sun Jian and Sun Ce, they can only be fish on the chopping board.

Jingzhou has been peaceful for a long time, and the people are not accustomed to war. Kuai Qi was captured, although it was shameful, how much better could he and Kuai Yue be.

Knowing that Cai Mao was going home, Sun Fu didn't dare to slack off, and informed Cai Wei and Cai Ke on the one hand, and Sun Ce on the other. Sun Ce received the report and didn't say anything, just mumbled, and then there was no follow-up. Sun Fu didn't understand what he meant, so he could only arrange for someone to follow Cai Mao to prevent him from acting abnormally.

Cai Mao came to the small courtyard and knelt down in front of Cai Wei, crying silently. On the one hand, it is because the old father suffered, and on the other hand, he himself suffered. Growing up so big, he has never suffered this kind of suffering.

Cai Wei was also very emotional, the father and son were relatively weeping, and it took a long time to regain their calm. Cai Wei asked about Cai Mao's intentions. Cai Mao said that Sun Ce threatened to kill Kuai Yue's entire family, and Kuai Yue was helpless and begged him to negotiate. The top priority was to save Kuai Qi, and Sun Ce only gave Kuai Yue one day.

Cai Wei pondered for a moment. "You can go and ask Sun Ce, but he won't agree to you."

"Why?"

"Sun Ce originally wanted to kill people and establish power, the first target was my Cai family, if it weren't for your sister marrying Sun Fu, Cai Zhou would have been bleeding. He can't kill the Cai family anymore, he can only retreat to the next best thing, and the Kuai family is the best target. At this time, I begged him, can he agree? ”

"He's crazy?" Cai Mao was dumbfounded.

"He's not crazy, he wants land." Cai Wei sighed: "He wants our land to come to Tuntian to raise soldiers." ”

Cai Mao's back was cold and swishing, and cold sweat came out of her body. He stared at Cai Wei and stammered, "That's ...... What about our family...... What to eat? ”

Cai Wei looked at Cai Mao helplessly. "Are we still qualified to talk about conditions now? De Jue, Sun Ce is a madman, and there is no way to reason with a madman. You can go see him later, just convey Kuai Yue's meaning, and don't say anything else. After leaving the village, don't go back to the city, immediately go to your eldest brother-in-law and ask him to find Pang Degong. Sun Ce had met with Pang Degong and had a very happy conversation, and now he can only survive by asking him to come forward. ”

Cai Mao thought for a moment. "Then I don't have to be in such a hurry, wait until Sun Ce kills Kuaiqi. My family has died, and the Kuai family has to pay the price. ”

Cai Wei sighed: "Do your best." You hurry up and do it, whether you kill Kuai Qi or not, that's Sun Ce's own business. ”

Cai Mao understood and bowed out. He came to the main court and asked to see Sun Ce, but Sun Celi ignored him, and only sent someone to pass on a sentence: If it is for the Kuai family, there is no need to see him. There is no third possibility except Kuai Yue surrendering or going to war. If I can't see Kuai Yue at noon tomorrow, I'll give him Kuaiqi's head. Cai Mao didn't insist, turned around and left Cai Zhou, while sending someone to pass the word to Liu Biao and Kuai Yue, and rushed to the house of his eldest brother-in-law Huang Chengyan.

——

Early the next morning, Sun Ce had just finished breakfast and was listening to Sun Fu and Huang Zhong's report on the situation.

Before Sun Ce could react, Sun Fu and Huang Zhong stood up suddenly, left their seats, and stood with their hands arched, looking like they were greeting the holy driver. Sun Ce was puzzled. "What are you doing?"

"Bo Fu, Huang Chengyan is a famous person in Cannan, don't slack off."

Sun Ce sneered. Look at your virtue, a celebrity comes and scares you like this, as for it? You don't want to know what he's here for. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will not go to the Three Treasures Palace, and a celebrity will not take the initiative to ask to see us because he admires our Sun family.

Seeing that Sun Ce was disdainful, and he didn't mean to get up to greet him, Huang Zhong also persuaded: "General, Huang Chengyan is not only the son-in-law of the Cai family, but also a branch of the Jiangxia Huang family, which should not be underestimated. He took the initiative to visit, which was a good opportunity for the general to make friends with the Xiangyang family. ”

Sun Ce laughed. How could he not know who Huang Chengyan was, Cai Mao's eldest brother-in-law, Liu Biao's brother-in-law, and Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, although this celebrity did not officially appear in the Three Kingdoms, but those who study the history of the Three Kingdoms cannot ignore the relationship between this invisible boss and him. In the past two days, he and Cai Ke have learned a lot about the Xiangyang family, including Huang Chengyan, of course, they know the background of his Jiangxia Huang family.

Jiangxia Huang's Xing since the famous minister Huang Xiang during the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty has been more than 100 years, which can be regarded as a century-old family. Huang Chengyan is another branch, moved to Xiangyang to live, not as famous as his family, but his family background is also very thick, and he can have no worries about food and clothing without going out, so he can be a celebrity with peace of mind. Yesterday, Cai Mao came to intercede for Kuai Yue, and left without much insistence, Sun Ce estimated that he went to invite a lobbyist, and the best candidate for a lobbyist is, of course, a famous person who can speak well and have a reputation, but he didn't expect Huang Chengyan to take the initiative to meet him, he always thought that it would be Pang Degong, who was close at hand.

So where did Pang Degong go, Huang Chengyan came to Caizhou, he should have gone to Daying to find his father. If this is the case, this Xiangyang Haoqiang will really hold together, no matter what kind of fight is usually made, once faced with a real crisis, immediately put aside the contradictions and unite with the outside world.

No wonder Liu Biao hasn't been able to deal with these heroes in Jingzhou for more than ten years, it seems that I still have to take some strong medicine.

"Sit it down for me." Sun Ce said angrily: "What's wrong with the celebrity, what's the fuss." ”

Sun Fu and Huang Zhong glanced at each other, very speechless. Sun Fu persuaded again: "Bo Fu, this is not very good, even if my uncle is here, if a famous person visits, he will welcome him." ”

Sun Ce waved his hand. "Huang Chengyan is Cai Mao's eldest brother-in-law, and you can be regarded as a brother-in-law, you go to meet him and ask him what is the matter. If it's not important, I'll ask him to wait, and I'll see him when I'm done with the military affairs. ”

Sun Fu still wanted to persuade again, but seeing that Sun Ce's face was not good, he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly rushed out. Seeing this, Huang Zhong knew that Sun Ce had already made arrangements, so he did not persuade him again, returned to the table, and continued to report on military affairs. Sun Ce listened very carefully, and everything was very detailed. He is now not only listening to the debriefing, but also learning. Fortunately, Huang Zhong is also a novice, and the two learned from each other, and they didn't feel anything wrong.

The two were talking lively, when there was a sudden commotion outside the door. Sun Ce looked up and saw Cai Ke arguing with the guards guarding the door. The guards grabbed her, but didn't stop the other small figure. A little girl with a bun squeezed between the two, took three steps and made two steps, and rushed to the hall.

"Does General Sun want to learn from Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and conquer the world by force?"

Sun Ce put down the slip in his hand and stared at the little girl for a long time, his face sank. "Sun Guoyi, you come in for me."

Sun Fu hurriedly rushed in, sweating profusely and his face flushed. Sun Ce took a few shots. "How did I tell you, no one is allowed to enter and leave the manor at will, who is this little girl, where did she come from, why didn't she report it?"

Before Sun Fu could speak, the little girl protested: "My surname is Huang, my nickname is Achu, I heard that the general occupied Cai Zhou, and my mother asked me to follow Ah Weng to see if my grandfather is healthy." I've been asking to see the general for a long time, but the general just won't see him, so I have to break in. The general is strong in martial arts, so it is natural to kill a child. Achu has nothing else to ask for, just want to ask the general, do you dare to kill the people of Xiangyang? ”
