Sun Ce has more than 10,000 people, and according to the standard of six liters of rice per person a day, he needs about 20,000 stone a month, which is folded into nearly 30,000 stone of rice. Zhu Jun gave him 50,000 stone of rice, which could support him for at least a month and a half. If you save a little, you can eat it for two months.

He never expected that Sun Ce would ask for 500,000 as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhu Jun commanded more than 20,000 soldiers to get up early and be greedy like robbers, robbed for more than ten days, harvested, threshed, and was so tired that he took off a layer of skin, only to harvest more than one million stone of rice, in addition to supplying the army to fight Junyi, but also pointed to these rice to welcome the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, each rice was eager to be broken in half, how could it be possible to give Sun Ce 500,000 stones.

So he was furious all at once. It's just a joke in normal times, but this kind of thing can also be joked?

Zhu Jun was already mighty, but at this time, he had to be angry and murderous, like an angry lion. Not only Wen Yun and Wang Chang were taken aback, but even Jiang Gan, who had never been afraid of the sky and the earth, was a little nervous.

Sun Ce was not in a hurry, and counted the accounts with his fingers. "Zhu Gong, don't worry, listen to me slowly. The 500,000 stones are not all for me. Don't forget, there are still tens of thousands of Xiliang troops in Hedong waiting to be fed, if you don't give them a little food, do you think they will turn their faces? I'll count them as having 50,000 people, and they will need 150,000 stone a month, and 500,000 stone of rice is three months. Zhu Gong, it's not that I refuse to accept the order, it's really helpless. Let's put it this way, 500,000 stone of rice, I won't go without a stone. I don't want to give my life to the edge of the Yellow River. ”

Zhu Jun glared at Sun Ce with a hideous expression, but he couldn't say a word.

Sun Ce's accounts are very precise and practical. There is no food, why should the Xiliang Army cooperate with you and obey your command? If you push them up, they will probably bite back. In the end, if you don't have money or food in your hands, you can't do anything. He risked infamy to harvest more than one million stone of rice, but he still couldn't support it for a few months, and it was not easy to welcome back the Son of Heaven.

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked. In fact, he will calculate, but he is too anxious to count.

Zhu Jun felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and slowly sat back, suddenly looking like he was several years older, and Sun Ce couldn't bear to see it. But he had to do it again, Zhu Jun was too naïve, and even a little wishful thinking, regardless of whether the objective conditions allowed it or not, he wanted to welcome back the Son of Heaven. Where to stay in Luoyang? Luoyang had already been burned by Dong Zhuo.

In the twilight of a martyr, it is a good thing to be strong, but you also have to do what you can, only with a passion not only can't do things, but may do bad things. Nanyang is developing well, but it is just the beginning, it is easy to accumulate some capital, and it is all hollowed out for you at once, how will it develop in the future? If you want to gather wool, you can't stare at me alone, and it's not easy for me to raise a sheep.

Taking advantage of Zhu Jun's daze, Sun Ce gave Jiang Gan a look, asked him to stay and bargain with Zhu Jun slowly, and got up to go out of the account under the pretext of being in a hurry. He went out of the camp and went around to the northwest corner and waited. Not long after, Cao Bao galloped over with some personal guards, and when he saw Sun Ce standing outside the camp, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, jokingly: "Sun Lang, how dare you drive you to meet me, I can't afford it." ”

Sun Ce looked around and pulled Cao Bao aside. "I received news that Yuan Tan may send Liu Bei to attack you."

The smile on Cao Bao's face disappeared immediately. "Really?"

"I don't dare to say 100%, but it's basically reliable."

Cao Bao was stunned for a while before slowly returning to normal. "This is a bit troublesome, Liu Bei and his subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all brave people, especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although our more than 3,000 people are not weak, but if we really want to meet such an opponent, the loss will not be small." He looked at Sun Ce. "Sun Lang, what can you do to teach me?"

"You were sent by Tao Envoy Jun, and now you are in trouble, why don't you ask Tao Envoy Jun for help? Tao envoy Jun is far away in Xuzhou, and it is unlikely that he will enter King Qin in the west, but if he can contain some of Yuan Tan's men and horses and reduce the pressure on Zhu Taiwei, it can be regarded as meritorious. There are only a few people who Yuan Tan can send, Liu Bei is the most likely, transfer him away, won't you be safe? ”

Cao Bao thought about it and felt reasonable. The autumn harvest is over, and Tao Qian now has soldiers and food, so he can come out and move his muscles.

"Thank you Sun Lang for reminding me."

Sun Ce smiled, "Later, you take the initiative to suggest to Zhu Gong, don't say that I said it." ”

"Why?"

"I just made a rude remark that annoyed him. If I had known that I had said it, I might have thought something else. ”

Cao Bao suddenly realized, agreed, and left with his personal guards. Sun Ce wandered outside for a while, and it was estimated that all the generals had almost arrived, so he staggered into the camp and came to the big tent of the Chinese army. When I got there, there were people standing in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, in groups of three or five, talking lively, and when they saw Sun Ce coming, they greeted Sun Ce one after another. Sun Ce looked around, but didn't see Cao Bao, and probably talked to Zhu Jun in the tent, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Sun Ce stood outside the account, chatting with a group of people. Under Zhu Jun, his military rank was the highest, and most of the others were lieutenant generals and captains, and there were only two generals. However, he doesn't like to put on music, and he likes to tell jokes, and he has a good popularity, at least on the surface, he is very harmonious. Just as he was talking happily, Zhang Fang walked out and said that Zhu Jun was looking for him. Sun Ce greeted everyone and turned to enter the account.

Zhu Jun sat on the seat, his face was much better. Cao Bao sat aside and glanced at Sun Ce, indicating that the matter was done. Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief and sat down beside Jiang Gan. Zhu Jun looked at Sun Ce, stopped talking a few times, and then said: "I'll give you 200,000 stone of rice, and you will find a way to send it to Hanoi and hand it over to Niu Fu and Dong Yue, and solve the urgent need first." Wait for the grain from the counties to be sent to Luoyang, and give them some more. ”

"Whoa." Sun Ce agreed, and then asked, "What about Junyi City?" ”

"I'll find another way to see if I can send some food in." Zhu Jun sighed. "Bo Fu, the autumn harvest is over, can you transfer some Tuntian soldiers from Yingchuan to participate in the war?"

"Zhu Gong, the Tuntian soldiers have just settled down, and it is not advisable to shake them, I recommend one person, who should be able to help."

"Who?"

"King Chen, Liu Pet."

"This ...... Not quite right, right? ”

"Zhu Gong, do it urgently. Chen Wang is good at shooting, there are 3,000 strong crossbowmen under his command, the equipment is good, he has been fighting for the past few years, and his combat power is also good, he is now stationed in Yangxia, and he can arrive in three or five days, and he can also bring some boats by the way. Under the cover of strong crossbowmen, it is possible to send grain directly to Junyi City by boat. After the war ended, these boats could also be loaded with grain and run down the chasm into the Yellow River, which would take up to 10 days to reach Hanoi, which was more cost-effective than land transportation. ”

Zhu Jun turned his anger into joy and complained: "Since you have such a good idea, why didn't you say it just now." ”

Sun Ce touched his nose and was very aggrieved. "If I just said that there are only 3,000 strong crossbowmen, can Zhu Gong be satisfied?"

Zhu Jun couldn't cry or laugh. Wen Yun and Wang Chang glanced at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud, shaking their heads while laughing.
