Sun Ce camped on the west bank of Shaobi and stopped for two days.

A day later, Guo Jun and Qin Mu arrived with their personal guards, and the camp was even bigger. Sun Ce still had no intention of leaving, he was going to wait for news from Jiujiang here. Although it is not wartime, Sun Ce has set the rule that daily training must be of good quality and quantity, and there must be no slackness, this is the case for the pro-guard battalion, and even more so for the righteous battalion, and he himself is no exception.

Sun Yi and Sun Shangxiang quickly integrated into the life of the military camp, and they never got tired of it, and got up early to practice martial arts with Sun Ce. Sun Yi imitated Sun Ce in every move, like a repeater. Sun Shangxiang was much more free and loose, and she was most loyal to horseback riding, especially Sun Ce's Qinghai horse, which climbed on horseback at every opportunity. It's strange to say, the Qinghai skull seems to have a fate with her, and when she sees Sun Shangxiang, she shakes her head and tail, looking like a good baby, but when she sees Sun Yi, she has another attitude, snorting and hoofing, in short, she refuses to let Sun Yi ride, so angry that Sun Yi sued in front of Sun Ce several times.

The Sun brothers are very harmonious with each other, which is related to Mrs. Wu's teachings. After she married Sun Jian, she first followed Sun Jian to the official, stayed in Xuzhou for nearly ten years, and gave birth to Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Yi three sons and daughter Sun Shanghua, Sun Jian went to Liangzhou to fight, she took a group of children back to Fuchun, Sun Jian went to Changsha to take up her post, she followed to Changsha, and then gave birth to Sun Kuang. When the family lives together, it is inevitable that they will be noisy, but she has always taught them to be friendly, even to Sun Jian's concubine Ding.

Sun Shangxiang was not born to Mrs. Wu, but to Ding, but among so many children, Mrs. Wu loved Sun Shangxiang the most. This may be related to the early death of Sun Shangxiang's biological mother Ding. For Sun Shangxiang's sister Sun Shangying and brother Sun Lang, Mrs. Wu has always been regarded as her own children. So Sun Ce couldn't quite understand why Sun Quan would do such a thing later, and none of his younger brothers and sisters died well.

After handing over the money and grain, Lu Kang went back to Shu County first. Lu Yi stayed, a little restrained at first, but soon got along well with the Sun brothers. Sun Quan had the most contact with him and often played together, Sun Kuang and Sun Lang followed like little tails, admiring him. Lu Yi and Sun Ce did not have much contact, mainly because Sun Ce was very busy and had military affairs to deal with. However, as long as Sun Ce is there, Lu Yi will usually follow.

After waiting for a few days, Jiang Gan had no news, and two more relatives of the Sun family arrived. One is Sun Ce's cousin Xu Kun, and the other is Sun Ce's brother Sun He. Xu Kun's father, Xu Zhen, and Sun Jian's good brother, later married Sun Jian's sister and gave birth to Xu Kun. Sun He's situation is a bit complicated, he once gave birth to his stepaunt and changed his surname to Yu, and then his aunt gave birth to a son herself, and he changed it back. The two are of the same age, and this time they came from Fuchun and have become good friends along the way.

They were very excited to see Sun Ce. They told Sun Ce that Sun Ce's deeds of breaking the Xiliang soldiers in Nanyang had reached his hometown, and they were inspired by Sun Ce's deeds, so they rushed to join the army.

It was Xu Kun who spoke, and Sun He, who was a little older, just laughed, but didn't talk much. Xu Kun's background is stronger than Sun He, he has been a small official in the county for two years, has seen some of the world, and is much more active.

Sun Ce looked at them. "You guys sneaked out, didn't you?"

"Nope." Xu Kun flatly denied it.

Sun He still laughed and remained silent.

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, this matter is very simple, I will send someone to Fuchun to ask. If you're telling the truth, I can cover it up for you. If you don't tell the truth, I'll tell the truth, and when the time comes, your family will tell you to go back, don't blame me. ”

The two looked at each other, Sun He lowered his head, but Xu Kun smiled more enthusiastically and pulled Sun Ce aside. "Bo Fu, to tell you the truth, we did sneak out. You don't know that I've been aggrieved for a while. ”

"Who else dares to bully you Xu Boyu?" Although Sun Ce didn't have many opportunities to meet Xu Kun, he knew that this cousin was not a good stubble.

"Who else can there be, the county general Sheng Xiaozhang."

"Who?" Sun Ce didn't react at once.

Xu Kun explained. The current Wu County Taishou Shengxian Zi Xiaozhang is a big family of Huiji, and he has an excellent relationship with Zhou Xin of the Zhou family of Huiji. Zhou Xin's younger brother Zhou Yu was defeated by Sun Jian, and Sheng Xian knew that he had in-laws with the Sun family, so he deliberately belittled him and always looked for him to be awkward. After the news of Sun Ce's killing in Nanyang reached Wu County, Sheng Xian simply dismissed him from his post and drove him out of the Taishou Mansion.

"You say, if I don't come to you, who else can I go to? You hurt me to lose my office, you can't ignore it, right? ”

Looking at Xu Kun with a natural expression, Sun Ce smiled. "Do you really want to be an official?"

"Needless to say? Who doesn't want to be an official? ”

"Boyu, if you are willing to help me, of course I can't ask for it. I'll give you two choices: first, stay with me, but it's harder, you can see it in two days; Second, go to my father, he is in need of people, and it is easier to get promoted. ”

Before Sun Ce's words fell, Xu Kun shook his head. "I don't go to my uncle's place, he has a bunch of veterans, how can I have a place. Aren't you recruiting now, and who is not using it? ”

Sun Ce asked Sun He again, Sun He also meant the same thing, refusing to go to Sun Jian's hands, and wanting to stay by Sun Ce's side. Sun Ce didn't immediately promise them, let them observe for two days before speaking. Your own family will definitely need to use it, but cronyism is also easy to have a negative impact on morale. He is now in his infancy, he doesn't want to raise idlers, he can stay, he must be able to use it.

Sun Ce and Guo Jia discussed. Guo Jia is more open-minded, he thinks that both of them are available. Xu Kun is more outgoing, has a flexible brain, and is physically strong, he can lead troops, and he is trustworthy because of his relatives. Sun He doesn't talk much, but he is cautious and diligent, this person can stay by his side, or let him go to wait on Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu is a female dependent, and she must have a family member by her side to take care of her, and she can't let her handle everything herself, otherwise she will be criticized.

After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Sun Ce was surprised. He knew that the resumes of Xu Kun and Sun He in history were as analyzed by Guo Jia, Xu Kun led the troops to fight, and Sun He and Lu Fan managed internal affairs for him for a long time. Guo Jia only met once, can you see their advantages and disadvantages?

Guo Jia smiled. "General, although the appreciation of human ethics is not so accurate, it is not entirely nonsense. What is a person's character, we can see the clues from his speech and demeanor, listen to his words, observe his deeds, and know his nature, although it is not in the middle, it is not far away. ”

Sun Ce blinked. "And what kind of person do you think I am?"

"Before meeting the general, I thought the general had courage. After meeting the general, I think the general is insightful. However, there are contradictions in the general's temperament, he is usually very steady, thoughtful, and plans before acting, but he is often controlled by emotions and impulsive and willful in battle. This can be a strength, or it can be a fatal weakness. The advantage is that you have good intuition and are good at capturing fighters, but the disadvantage is that you can easily put yourself in danger and lose inexplicably. ”

Sun Ce sighed. "Fengxiao, Xu Zi will compare with you, you are scum."
