Chapter 103: Giving and Giving
Sun Ce knew this, and pulled out the Jingzhou Thorn History Seal Ribbon that Liu Biao had left for him from his arms.
"Is this enough?"
Zhou Yu smiled. When he talked to Sun Jian about this plan, Sun Jian was still worried that Sun Ce would be reluctant, but Zhou Yu believed that Sun Ce knew the way to make trade-offs and would not be reluctant to give up the false name of a Jingzhou assassin. As he expected, Sun Ce had already prepared a meeting gift, and he believed that Yuan Shu would not be able to refuse at all.
"I can give him the history of Jingzhou Thorn, but I can't give it for nothing." Sun Ce placed the seal ribbon in Zhou Yu's hand. "We have to get the good."
"What benefits do you want?"
"Nanyang Iron Officer. I plan to keep Huang Chengyan in Nanyang to be in charge of iron smelting, build weapons, and give priority to the supply of iron materials for the Cai family. I killed two in Xiangyang and robbed dozens of them, and they already regarded me as a robber. I had to set an example and tell them that all I wanted was the land, and if they gave it up, I wouldn't mess around and I would make them more profitable. ”
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment. "It's not too much to ask, but it's not up to you. If you say it's a coercion, it's a deal, and the general can't accept it even if he is willing to trade. ”
Sun Ce understood this truth, which was why he came to Zhou Yu. After Yuan Shu prides himself on being famous, fundamentally, he will not bow to anyone easily. He is not a political counselor, and he has no obligation to correct Yuan Shu's thoughts, and to some extent, he will even contribute to this psychology of Yuan Shu. To make people perish, first make people mad. If Yuan Shu does not die, how can the Sun family have a chance to be independent.
"I'll go find Feng Fang." Zhou Yu thought for a long time and stood up. "Did you bring any money? I can't go empty-handed. ”
Sun Ce waved his hand. "Whatever you need, go to the baggage boat and get it yourself."
Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce deeply, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.
——
Hearing that Zhou Yu came to visit, Feng Fang was in a complicated mood. Although he is not outstandingly resourceful, after all, he is also a person who has been a lieutenant of Sili, how can he not understand that he fell for Zhou Yu. He used to be the boss of Zhou Yu's father Zhou Yi, but now he is being played by Zhou Yu, so he is naturally very faceless.
But he could only sulk. Not to mention Zhou Yu's family background, just because he is a close confidant of Sun Jian's father and son, and he is deeply loved by Yuan Shu, he does not dare to offend. He is no longer the captain of Si Li, but just a former official of the Yuan family, and if he offends Yuan Shu, he may have nothing at any time.
Feng Fang adjusted his mood and personally went out to greet him. Zhou Yu arched his hands and stood respectfully at the door, with four attendants standing behind him, carrying two large boxes. Feng Fang couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the bending degree of the flat burden, and the expression on his face immediately became a little enthusiastic.
"Gong Jin, what are you doing here? Come on, and bring so many things. Feng Fang said as he pulled Zhou Yu into the big tent. This place was too close to Yuan Shu's Chinese army tent, and he didn't want people to see these gifts and go to Yuan Shu to tell the truth.
Zhou Yu smiled and bowed. "Feng Jun, this is not a gift from me, it was given to Feng Jun by General Sun's father and son."
"General Sun?" Feng Fang immediately became vigilant. Sun Jian's conquest of Xiangyang is naturally a great achievement, but there are several people around Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu is determined to win Jingzhou, and it is impossible for Sun Jian to become the lord of Jingzhou. If Sun Jian was giving him a gift for this matter, no matter how generous the gift was, he would not dare to accept it. He stroked his beard and looked at Zhou Yu with an embarrassed expression. "This is not appropriate, it is useless, I have nothing to do with General Sun, wouldn't it be misleading if this is spread?"
Zhou Yu took out the seal of Jingzhou's assassination from his arms. Feng Fang's eyes lit up when he saw the black ribbon copper seal, and the beard on his lips couldn't help but pick up. Zhou Yu saw it in his eyes, but pretended not to know. "This was captured by Captain Sun from Liu Biao, and it should have been directly presented to General Hou, but their father and son pretended to be injured in order to capture Xiangyang, although it was out of helplessness, after all, it was a deception, for fear that General Hou would hold a grudge, so he didn't dare to present it in person, and wanted to ask Feng Jun to hand it over, and hoped that Feng Jun would not refuse. Right now, the one who can speak in front of General Hou is Feng Jun. ”
Feng Fang's heart was full of stones, and he was overjoyed. Such a good thing actually fell on his head, it is really a vision of the sky, and there is no hard work in vain. The ribbon was dedicated to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was happy, and there must be a reward. helped Sun Jian's father and son, and received a generous gift, the best of both worlds.
"Alas, General Sun is really too cautious, how can General Hou be a person who cares about such a trivial matter? The soldiers are not tired of cheating, in order to take Xiangyang, their father and son have spent a lot of effort, and it is too late for the general to rejoice, how can they be blamed. ”
"With Feng Jun's words, we are relieved." Zhou Yu put the seal ribbon in Feng Fang's hand and opened the box with his own hands. Feng Fang held the seal ribbon tightly, but his eyes were attracted by the contents of the box. One of the two large boxes was filled with brocade fabric, Zhou Yu lifted a corner, and a layer of gold cake fell inside, and at a rough look, there were at least twenty or thirty gold. The other one is relatively low-end, but it is what Feng Fang needs most at the moment, and it is all good game.
"The New Year is approaching, a little heart, give Feng Jun some new clothes for the family, and improve the taste. These are all game meat unique to Xiangyang, which is not valuable, but it is also rare. ”
Feng Fang was overjoyed. Zhou Yu is simply too sweet. He is not from Nanyang, he has followed Yuan Shu here, without the support of industry, but he can't be too shabby, and he is already stretched financially. The New Year is approaching, and how to let the family have a good New Year in Wancheng has become his biggest problem. Now Zhou Yu has sent these two boxes of gifts, which are all used for food and clothing, and they are all solved at once.
"Gong Jin, the father and son of the Sun family are lucky to have your assistance." Feng Fang held Zhou Yu's hand and smiled. "Gongjin, how old is this year?"
"Back to Feng Jun, Yi Mao was born, and this year is seventeen."
"At the age of seventeen, he has grown so tall and straight, he must be a great husband in the future." Feng Fang was even more satisfied. "With Gongjin's family background and character, I don't know how many families want to marry their daughters to you, are you married?"
Zhou Yu shook his head awkwardly. "Not married."
"Good, good." Feng Fang raised his eyebrows and nodded again and again. Seeing Zhou Yu's puzzled eyes, he hurriedly covered it up and said: "Gong Jin is a talent, both civil and military, it is the time to make meritorious contributions, and it is not appropriate to start a family too early." Why is a big husband without a wife, right? ”
"Feng Jun is right." Zhou Yu felt that Feng Fang was a little upside down, but he didn't take it to heart, and said a few perfunctory sentences, and then said Sun Ce's request. Feng Fang excused himself for a moment and then agreed, promising to make a proposal to Yuan Shu to meet Sun Ce's request.
At the same time, Sun Ce invited Cai Mao to his big tent. He got straight to the point and took out a piece of gold silk brocade armor that he had prepared.
"Kuai Liang was killed by you, Kuai Yue was killed by me, but now there is a trouble, Kuai Qi is gone. The assassin who assassinated the father of the family had been killed on the spot, but no one knew how many of the Kuai family's disciples wanted revenge. ”
Cai Mao gasped and said after a while: "What can I do about this?" ”
"Make sure that the Cai family says nothing in Xiangyang, and anyone who dares to take in Kuai Qi or collude with him will only have a dead end. I want Guoyi to guard Xiangyang, but I don't dare to say whether General Hou can agree or not. ”
Cai Mao gritted her teeth. "I'm going to beg him, even if I give him all the rest of the family property, I must make Guoyi the guard of Xiangyang."
