Zu Mao's eyes looked at Sun Ce a little strangely.

As a close friend of Sun Jian, Zu Mao is no stranger to Huang Zhong, and he has also seen Sun Jian recruit heroes. Sun Jian has good martial arts, is bold enough, and is a very attractive lord to the rangers, so there are so many people who are willing to follow him and work for him. However, limited to rangers, those who have status are unwilling to rely on Sun Jian, even rangers are mostly cooperative, and the advantages are combined, and the disadvantages are divided.

In a situation like Huang Zhong's loyalty to Sun Ce as soon as they met, Zu Mao had never seen it. However, thinking that Zhou Yu, a child of the Lujiang family, was loyal to Sun Ce, Zu Mao was not surprised, only admired. In terms of winning people's hearts alone, Sun Ce is not only much stronger than Sun, but also much stronger than many people he has seen.

Attachment is attachment, allegiance is allegiance, and the two are simply not the same thing.

Zu Mao is very knowledgeable. He had also seen Huang Zhong's martial arts, and since he had pledged his allegiance to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce seemed to be very important to him, Zu Mao relinquished his duties as a personal guard, and Huang Zhong was responsible for Sun Ce's safety.

Huang Zhong did not shirk, and stood behind Sun Ce with a knife, not leaving an inch.

The area of Yuliang Continent is not large, and when Sun Ce talked to Pang Degong, Sun Fu had already arranged the defense. Arrays were set up along the river, and sentry posts were arranged in various places to put the entire Yuliangzhou under control. There are not many people on Yuliang Island, but there are large mulberry trees, and there is a good river beach along the water, which is very suitable for walking. Accompanied by Huang Zhong, Sun Ce walked most of the circle along Yuliangzhou.

According to the history books, in addition to Pang Degong, there was another hermit who lived on Yuliang Island, that is, the famous Mr. Sima Hui. His residence is on the east side of Yue Leung Chau, not far from Pound's house. However, Sun Ce didn't see it, thinking that Sima Hui hadn't moved here yet.

But he saw another family.

Not far to the south of Yuliang Chau, there is another sandbar, the houses on the island are next to each other, row after row, is a large-scale manor, standing quietly in the shade of greenery, like a giant beast.

"Where is that?"

"Cai Zhou." Huang Zhong said: "Where Cai Mao's mansion is. ”

"So big?" Sun Ce was very surprised. He knew Cai Zhou, there was a record in the history books, and it was also recorded on the map of the county in Sun Jian's hand, but it was very brief, and it was not noted that it was the location of the Cai family's old house. Sun Ce didn't expect the Cai family to be so rich that they actually occupied an entire sandbar.

A real tyrant. Sun Ce suddenly had Cai Mao's idea. Cracking down on local tyrants and dividing up the land is the magic weapon for the success of our party's revolution. Since Cai Mao is an opponent, and he exposes such a big piece of fat in front of him, he is sorry for the people and the party if he doesn't rob him.

——

"Yawn! Yawn! Cai Mao sneezed twice in a row, her nose was pantothenic, and tears were about to come out.

Liu Biao remained silent, as if he hadn't heard it, shaking the book in his hand, but his eyes looked at the main book on the opposite side. "Zirou, what does Sun Jian mean by arranging people to occupy Yuliang Continent? Will it be a threat to my Xiangyang? ”

Kuai Liang is of medium stature, with a thin face, a white face and a long beard, but his two eyes are very energetic. He glanced at Cai Mao inadvertently, and said lightly: "De Jue, you don't have to worry, if Sun Jian dares to touch your Cai family, he will be no different from Dong Zhuo, and he will become the public enemy of all families." Without fighting, he was defeated. ”

Cai Mao rubbed her nose. "Brother Zirou, you are a gentleman, but Sun Jian is a villain. If he cared about reputation, how could he kill Wang Rui and Zhang Shi? If it wasn't for the robbery, what was he doing in Yuliang Zhou? On Yuliang Island, he can't enter Xiangyang City, so he won't come to visit Pang Degong, right? ”

"If that's the case, it's not bad, seeing the sages and thinking together, maybe Sun Jian was impressed by Pang Degong's demeanor and retreated without a fight."

Cai Mao scoffed, and Liu Biao couldn't help laughing. "Zirou, if Pang Degong can convince Sun Jian, it will be a great achievement. However, Sun Jian is rude and murderous, and I am worried that Pang Degong will not be able to convince him, but will be killed by him. He thought for a while, and then said: "Pang Degong is a real celebrity, I don't think he will be coerced by Sun Jian to do something harmful to the famous religion, right?" ”

Kuai Liang was a little unhappy and choked Liu Biao. "I'm overwhelmed. Pang Degong is my Xiangyang celebrity, and he can't be forced by might. ”

Liu Biao sneered. Cai Mao couldn't help but smile secretly when she saw it in her eyes, and then put on a look of worrying about the country and the people. "Make Jun, Ziliang is right, Sun Jian's doing this has no impact on Xiangyang. However, there are many people in the east of the city, and if they loot it, the loss will be secondary, so it would be very inappropriate to doubt the ability and determination of the king to protect the territory and the people. ”

Liu Biao's eyebrows frowned slightly. Checks and balances are indeed the secret of imperial art, but arguing with each other whenever something happens is annoying enough. These people are not good at fighting, but they are more shrewd than the other. Sun Jian sent people to occupy Yuliang Continent, which may have little impact on the attack on Xiangyang City, but it may hit the hearts of the people. The Kuai family is far away in Zhonglu, they are not worried, but Cai Mao cares about it, only thinking about his Cai family's industry, but putting Xiangyang City aside.

But Cai Mao also has a point. In addition to Cai Kuai, who supports him, there are many people who are waiting. For example, the Xi family, such as the Yang family, if they sit back and watch them being robbed by Sun Jian and leave it alone, it is likely to affect his prestige, and it will be even more difficult to recruit talents in the future.

To save or not to save?

Liu Biao was embarrassed, and Kuai Yue walked in from the outside quickly. "Envoy, I heard that Sun Jian has been stationed in Yuliang Continent?"

Liu Biao smiled bitterly: "Yes, we are discussing whether to go out of the city to rescue, and you came just in time." ”

"Out of town?" Kuai Yue glanced at Kuai Liang and Cai Mao and laughed. "De Jue, you Cai Zhou has at least three hundred parts, and the corner towers and bows and crossbows are complete, so it's not so easy to attack, right?"

Cai Mao hurriedly said: "Xenodu, I'm not worried about my Cai family, but worried about affecting the prestige of the king. If Sun Jian is allowed to plunder the outside of the city, so that the king can only sit in the city, will he be considered cowardly, not Sun Jian's opponent, and unable to hold Jingzhou? ”

Kuai Yue sneered: "If Sun Jian is so perverse, what is the difference between him and Dong Zhuo?" Did De Jue think that those families would abandon the envoys of leniency and surrender to the robber-like Sun Jian? ”

Cai Mao was speechless.

Kuai Yue continued: "Rest assured, Sun Jian's move is at most just a suspicious soldier to lure me out of the city to fight." We can't fall for him. Although Nanyang has a large number of household registrations, the grain and grass materials that can be provided are limited, and each family knows right from wrong and will not support Yuan Shu. As long as we stick to Xiangyang, it won't take a few days, Sun Jian's grain and grass will continue and naturally retreat. ”

Liu Biao and Kuai Yue exchanged a look and nodded with satisfaction. As early as the Great General's Mansion, he admired Kuai Yue's strategy very much. Now that Kuai Yue made the danger of going out of the city clear, he didn't have to think too much. Besides, the Cai family is strong and has always regarded themselves very highly, so it doesn't hurt to let them suffer a little.

"Zirou, Deju, what do you think?"

Kuai Liang echoed continuously, and Cai Mao couldn't support it alone, so he had to nod in agreement.
