Chapter 743: Each has a ghost
After listening to Yang Xiu's offer, Wang Zhen hesitated.
He didn't suspect that Sun Ce was lying to him. He is a county prince, and he is no stranger to prices, so many goods, it is true that only Wu City can accommodate them, and there is really no county market that can have such purchasing power. But the problem is that he can't watch Sun Ce go to Wu County, it's easy to ask God to send God, if Sun Ce doesn't leave, he will be in big trouble.
But he couldn't say it explicitly. Sun Ce was already angry just now, if he refused now, maybe Sun Ce would go to Wu County now in a fit of anger. He thought about it, and made a delaying strategy, saying that he would discuss it with the Xu family, the Xu family had a big business, maybe it could solve part of it, and there was no need to send it to Wu County. Jiang Gan was also easy to speak, and agreed. He also said that as long as Wang Zhen can help dispose of some of it, Sun Ce has cash in his hand, he will not be in a hurry, and the rest of the goods will either stay in Wu County or take them to Huiji, which is not a big problem.
Wang Zhen was relieved, did not dare to slack off, and immediately went ashore and rushed to Xu's house.
Xu Chun touched his nose, returned home, and saw the slaves and servants who were preparing for the banquet, and the fire in his heart burned even more vigorously, and he was so angry that he jumped like thunder. The Xu family is also one of the most famous families in Wu County, the first family of Yangxian, but he didn't expect to be humiliated by a melon seller today, he ran to meet him kindly, wanting to make a good relationship with the friendship of the land and the soil, and actually ate the closed-door soup, and he didn't even see each other.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable.
However, Sun Ce is not a good person, Xu Chun has heard some rumors, and not long ago he heard some from Wang Zhen, and he also saw Sun Ce's fleet and thousands of subordinates with his own eyes, knowing that this is not an ordinary person, or even an ordinary official, this is a general with a heavy army. If you go against him, you may bleed at any time, and even the entire Yang Xian Xu family will be uprooted.
Sun Ce did a lot of such things in Nanyang and Runan.
Xu Chun thought about it, but he couldn't find a way to deal with Sun Ce for a while, and was annoyed, Wang Zhen rushed over. Seeing that Wang Zhen was covered with sweat, Xu Chun was very surprised, and when Wang Zhen told him what happened, his heart suddenly moved. The Xu family can't deal with Sun Ce, Wu Jun is too protective of Xu Gong, anyway, they will fight sooner or later, so it's better to take advantage of now. With Xu Gong's support, Sun Ce has no advantage at all.
"Jun Cheng, this Sun Ce is not going to do business, but to blackmail, right?" Xu Chun deliberately reminded.
Wang Zhen wasn't sure. Sun Ce's attitude was arrogant, but Jiang Gan was not aggressive, and he was very reasonable, maybe Sun Ce really just wanted to dispose of those goods and exchange them for cash. After all, he has so many people to raise, and it costs money to get to the meeting, and those things can't be eaten or worn. Sun Ce is a martial artist, a martial artist, it is inevitable to be rude, if he starts a war because of this, it is obviously not a wise move. The top priority was to receive a part of the goods and send Sun Ce out of Wu County safely. No matter how bad it is, it will be delayed for a while, so that he will have the opportunity to inform Xu Gong to prepare.
"Xu Jun, you can't say that, General Sun is from Wu County after all. If a young man has ambition, he will inevitably be arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes. However, I took a look, and the goods he brought were indeed good, and if I could collect some of them and send them to Wu City for sale, it would still be profitable. ”
Xu Chun saw Wang Zhen staring at him, and immediately understood what Wang Zhen meant. He wasn't worried that he would lose money - he was doing Wang Zhen a favor, how could Wang Zhen let him suffer - but he didn't want to help Sun Ce, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't spit out that bad breath.
"Jun Cheng, when he received those goods, it was a year ago, and now it is a year later, and it is almost the Shangyuan Festival, how can it still be calculated according to the price of the previous year? He was clearly blackmailing. Besides, you know where these goods came from, maybe he stole them. Aren't we doing this to help him sell his stolen goods? If he is recognized in Wu City, it will inevitably be ruined, and even Xu Fujun will not be able to escape the involvement. ”
Wang Zhen heard Xu Chun's resentment, thought for a while, and asked, "What is Xu Jun's plan?" ”
Xu Chun looked at Wang Zhen with a smile. "Jun Cheng, I take the liberty of asking, Xu Fujun didn't come to greet him, did Sun Ce say anything?"
"I asked, but I didn't pay much attention."
"It's too guarded to cross the border, and it's from Wu County, Xu Fujun didn't come to greet him, to be honest, it's a bit unreasonable. You and I know who Sun Ce is, he is not a gentle, courteous and frugal gentleman, he says he doesn't care, but he is afraid that he already hates it in his heart, and he doesn't know how to think about revenge. The father and son of the Sun family are martial artists, and they have soldiers in their hands, so killing people is not a big deal for them. Jun Cheng didn't worry that he said it was okay and pulled out a knife behind his back? ”
Wang Zhen's heart tightened. What he is most worried about now is this, being provoked by Xu Chunyi, making him even more uneasy.
"Please also ask Xu Jun for some guidance."
Xu Chun pretended to be modest and excused himself, and when Wang Zhen was so anxious that his head was full of sweat, he said: "Sun Ce relies on the men and horses in his hands, there are steps and horses, and there are sailors, even if it is Wu County, he has a chance to attack it." But if he enters the mountains, what is the use of his thousands of people? ”
Wang Zhen looked at Xu Chun and suddenly realized. Xu Chun didn't make an idea for him, he was obviously angry at Sun Ce's rudeness, and wanted to take revenge on Sun Ce, but he wanted to pull Xu Gong as a backing. He quickly weighed it and decided that it would work. Xu Chun wants to use him, and he also wants to use Xu Chun. When two tigers fight, there will be an injury, Xu Chun and Sun Ce clashed, and it was Xu Gong who benefited. Xu Gong and Sun Ce are enemies, what he needs now is time, if Xu Chun can contain Sun Ce and consume Sun Ce's strength, Xu Gong is naturally happy to see it.
"How can I get Sun Ce into the mountain?"
Xu Chun laughed silently, got up and walked over, and whispered a few words in Wang Zhen's ear. Wang Zhen comprehended, nodded again and again, the two laughed, held each other's hands and shook them vigorously. Wang Zhen immediately rushed back to the dock, and Xu Chun sent someone into the mountain to contact the bandits.
Wang Zhen asked to see Sun Ce again and greeted Sun Ce on behalf of Xu Chun. Xu Chun, as the first good man of Yangxian, learned that Junjie of the same county was passing by, and wanted to do his best to be a landlord, so he invited Sun Ce to Xu's house for a banquet and discussed the transaction at the same time. Xu Chun intends to accept some of the goods, the price can be negotiated, and Sun Ce will never suffer a loss.
Sun Ce readily agreed, and said that he had been negligent and neglectful before, and that he was not intended, and was willing to decide to accept Xu Chun's invitation and explain to Xu Chun in person. Wang Zhen rushed to Xu's house again to inform Xu Chun of the relevant situation and let him make relevant preparations.
Halfway through, he met someone sent by Xu Gong, and learned that Xu Gong had asked him to stop Shen You to avoid a conflict with Sun Ce, and he became more and more determined to join forces with Xu Chun. Once Sun Ce enters the mountains to conquer the thieves, it will not be solved in a few days, maybe it will drag on for a year and a half, which is enough for Xu Gong to prepare.
Wang Zhen ran back and forth twice, everything was agreed, Sun Ce took Yi Cong's foot rider and abandoned the boat and landed ashore, rushed to Xu's house, Guo Jia and others accompanied him, Shen You was injured, stayed on the boat, and assisted Guo Jun and Yang Xiu to stay in the fleet.
