The big war is imminent, Sun Ce is not worried about the sailors outside the manor - in terms of frontal combat, those rabble under Liu Biao cannot be compared to these elites given by Sun Jian. He was most worried about the Cai family in the manor.

Although nearly 1,000 family members were transferred to Daying, and Cai Ke married Sun Fu again, Sun Ce was not completely sure what Cai Wei thought in his heart. If the fierce battle is in full swing, Cai Wei suddenly turns back and turns into elbows and armpits, even if there are only a few dozen people, Cai Wei will have a chance to kill him. When the time comes, take him to make a deal with Sun Jian, and Sun Jian will only be dumb and eat Yellow Lotus, and he can't tell if he suffers.

Originally, he wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots to prevent future troubles, but considering that the impact was too great, it was not implemented in the end, and the top priority was to make the Cai family stand on his side willingly, realizing that even if they wanted to atone for their sins, Kuai Yue would not give them this opportunity.

The hearts of the people are separated from the belly, what Kuai Yue thinks, the Cai family may not be clear, the competition between the two sides objectively exists, and the discord plan has a basis for implementation. Seeing Cai Ke's expression of eagerness to eat Kuaiyue, Sun Ce knew that he had achieved more than half of his goal, and quietly provoked a few words, Cai Ke couldn't wait for Sun Fu to come back, and got up to discuss with Cai Wei.

After a short time, Sun Fu came back, his face was pale, and his forehead was full of fine beads of sweat. Seeing that Cai Ke was not in the seat, he didn't bother to ask.

"Bo Fu, what now? We didn't have a boat and were stranded on the continent. ”

Sun Ce frowned. "Brother, is it necessary to be so nervous? Aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will say that you don't have a city government and are not stable enough? ”

"Uh......" Sun Fu was speechless and sat down in a daze. She...... Where did it go? ”

"She went to discuss with the old owner Cai." Sun Ce motioned for Sun Fu to sit down. "Brother, don't worry, we now have more than 3,000 people, plus the Cai family's manpower, it is enough to guard the Cai family for half a month. In a few days, Ah Weng will send troops to help, and when the time comes, Liu Biao will be broken and Xiangyang will be captured, and you and I will be the first to work. ”

Sun Fu was stunned for a moment, nodded again and again, and his complexion was obviously much calmer.

"Brother, you have been fighting with me for many years, and you have more experience than me, so it may be hard for you this time."

"It should be, it should be."

"Don't worry, the sky won't fall." Sun Ce got up, walked behind Sun Fu, pressed his hand on his shoulder, and squeezed it gently. "Take out some of the man's temperament, and let my sister-in-law see your majesty." As he spoke, he gently kicked Sun Fu's waist with his toes, and whispered in Sun Fu's ear: "Otherwise, your waist won't be able to stand up in the future." ”

Sun Fu raised his head and rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, I'll do it."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

——

After Cai Wei listened to Cai Ke's words, his gray eyebrows twisted into pimples.

He was not Cai Ke, and he could hear Sun Ce's extraneous meaning, but he couldn't deny the possibility of what Sun Ce said. The Kuai family and the Cai family are both strong and strong that Liu Biao relies on, it is impossible for the two sides to get along in harmony, fighting is inevitable, and they can be polite before because there is no chance, but now that the opportunity has come, Kuai Yue has put the Cai family together, and there is a possibility that the Cai family will be completely defeated.

Cai Wei does not hate Kuai Yue, and if the Cai family seizes the opportunity, he will also attack the Kuai family. But that doesn't mean he stretches his neck for Kuai Yue to cut. Even if Cai Mao was killed by Liu Biao, he had to resist.

Besides, Sun Ce reminded him that he might have another meaning: Don't act rashly, I'll guard against you. Whether Sun Ce can deal with Kuai Yue or not, it is easy for the Cai family. Let him seize the opportunity, he will not hesitate to exterminate the Cai family. This suspicion is incomprehensible, and the Cai family will always have a sword hanging over their heads.

"You called Guoyi."

"Whoa." Cai Ke went happily. It didn't take long for her to drag Sun Fu to Cai Wei.

"Sit down." Sun Fu took a seat, saluted, his waist straight, and his eyes were blazing looking at Cai Wei. In the face of Cai Ke, he was a little weak-hearted, but he remembered what Sun Ce had just said very clearly, and he refused to lose face in front of Cai Ke, so he could only stand up. Cai Ke was happy in his heart, sitting beside Sun Fu, with a smile in his eyebrows.

Cai Yan sighed secretly. Sun Fu is really not a suitable son-in-law, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, so he can only find a way to enhance his strength and earn a future for his daughter.

"Jingzhou sailors arrived, but there was no need to be nervous. Jingzhou has been peaceful for a long time, the sailors are negligent in training, and Kuai Qi has no experience in using soldiers, so he can only pretend. ”

Sun Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again.

"Still, you can't slack off, and it's good to take the opportunity to make some contributions. Since my daughter is married to you, my Cai family will fully support you. Cai Wei clapped his hands, and several strong men walked in from outside and stood still at the bottom of the steps. These are the leaders of my Cai family's tribe, and from now on, they will listen to your command. They are familiar with the terrain and their martial arts are good, so what do you have to discuss with them? ”

Sun Fu was overjoyed and was about to get up to salute, when Cai Ke gently tugged at the hem of his clothes. Sun Fu understood, sat down again, and nodded reservedly.

"Sun Bofu is the eldest son of General Sun, and General Sun's family business will be inherited by him in the future. Although General Sun values you, after all, he is only an uncle, your family business can only be earned by yourself, and my daughter's happiness is also pinned on you, you must not let her down. Young people, work hard! ”

"Whoa." Sun Fu hurriedly promised loudly, and he was arrogant.

——

After getting Sun Fu's report, and looking at the Cai family's subordinate officers behind him, Sun Ce knew that the possibility of the Cai family stabbing in the back was infinitely close to zero. He summoned Huang Zhong and Lin Feng to determine the responsibility of the defense area together with Sun Fu.

With the addition of the Cai family, Sun Fu now has more than 2,700 people, accounting for seventy percent of the total army. Sun Ce handed over the defense of the periphery to him, mainly responsible for the main gates of the four manors, and assumed the main task of the battle.

Huang Zhong had 1,200 men, accounting for 30% of the total army, and was responsible for the security of the manor. Once an enemy army invades the manor, Huang Zhong is responsible for blocking it. When necessary, Huang Zhong could support Sun Fu and take charge of the task of counterattacking.

Lin Feng led a hundred righteous servants to be responsible for Sun Ce's personal security, and the control range was the entire atrium. Anyone entering or leaving this courtyard must be inspected by Lin Feng, otherwise they will be killed. In order to avoid too many people, except for Cai's father and daughter, everyone else lived in another courtyard, and they couldn't enter unless they were transmitted.

The task assignment stopped, Huang Zhong and Lin Feng agreed angrily, but Sun Fu was a little nervous. Although he fought with Sun Jian for many years, it was the first time that he personally commanded the army. Sun Ce handed over the combat mission on the periphery to him, and he was not sure at all. But in front of so many years, he couldn't show his timidity, so he could only look at Sun Ce beggingly.

Sun Ce knew this, waved his hand and motioned for Huang Zhong and the others to retreat, then he took Sun Fu's shoulders and said in a low voice: "Is there no bottom in your heart?" ”

Sun Fu licked his lips. "Yes...... It's a little. ”

"Don't be afraid, there's a first time for everything. It's your first time, and it's the first time for Kuaiqi, I guess he hasn't even seen blood. Everyone is a newcomer, who is afraid of whom? Sun Ce smiled. Let's go, I'll accompany you out for a walk, and you'll be strong. He turned around and shouted at the courtyard next door: "Sister-in-law, are you interested in going around?" ”

Cai Ke showed half a reddish little face from behind the door. "This ...... Not suitable, right? ”
