The captives just want to live, and no matter what Sun Ce says, they will respond to it one by one. Sun Fu was a little confused. Others don't know, he knows best. When Sun Jian entered Luoyang, he always followed him and did not meet Zhang Wen at all. When did Sun Ce hear that? From the beginning of preparing to start the army, Sun Ce moved his family out of Changsha, and he was not with Sun Jian at all, where did he hear the news?

Ordering someone to take care of the captives, Sun Fu pulled Sun Ce aside and asked quietly, "Bo Fu, when did you listen to your uncle?" ”

"Say what?" Sun Ce was confused.

"I want to marry the Cai family."

"Ah, this." Sun Ce laughed and shook his hand. "I made it up."

Sun Fu was a little down at that time, and after a while, he hurriedly said, "It's nothing, what are you talking about?" Originally, Cai Zhou was difficult to fight, but now you still tell Cai Mao that you are going to Cai Zhou, he will definitely bring people back, how can we fight? ”

Sun Ce looked at Sun Fu for a moment, and really sympathized with him. No wonder this product was secretly connected with Cao Cao but was caught by Sun Quan, this IQ is a hard injury. It seems that Sun Ben didn't take enough care of him, he only grew a body, but no brain.

"Guoyi, don't worry, if Cai Mao comes back with men and horses, we will give up attacking Cai Zhou."

"Really?"

"How can this kind of thing be a joke?" Sun Ce smiled, reached out to put his arm around Sun Fu's shoulder, and slowly walked forward. "Everything must be prepared with both hands, I decided, you stay in Yuliangzhou, I will go to Caizhou, you can pick two hundred more people for me. If Cai Mao leads the troops back, I will give up. If Cai Mao doesn't come back, you will take the rest of the people to Cai Zhou and cooperate with me to attack. Guoyi, the Cai family is a big family in Xiangyang, and there is a lot of oil and water. Taking down the Cai family is equivalent to removing one of Liu Biao's arms, which is of great significance. This is my first battle, and the first battle you have led independently, and we must not only fight, but fight beautifully. You tell me? ”

Sun Fu rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, and nodded vigorously. In such a hurry to form his own personal guard battalion, Sun Ce just didn't want this situation to happen a second time. He was really a little scared.

With Sun Fu's approval, Sun Ce convened Huang Zhong and Zu Mao again to discuss. He changed his plan slightly. Originally, it was intended to attack at night, but now it has been changed to a daytime attack. An overnight sneak attack may seem enjoyable, but it can be difficult to implement, especially in an unfamiliar environment. Attacking during the day can avoid accidents as much as possible.

Sun Ce proposed the plan, Zu Mao and Sun Fu added the details, Huang Zhong provided suggestions, and the four of them studied it together in the middle of the night and acted separately. Sun Fu picked a song and handed it to Sun Ce with two hundred people. He was worried that Sun Ce was in danger, so he didn't dare to be careless at all, these two hundred people were all good hands that were carefully selected.

Sun Ce handed over these two hundred people to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong didn't say anything, and pulled the positive and fake military marquis, two hundred generals, and four tun chiefs, a total of eight people, aside to talk. What to talk about, Sun Ce didn't hear it, only heard a few ping-pong sounds in the distance, mixed with a few exclamations, it didn't take long, they came back, the eight people were not arrogant, one by one, they held their breath, and looked at Huang Zhong with respect and awe. Sun Ce secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that Huang Zhong only had martial arts, no means, and couldn't control his subordinates. If he can only fight alone, no matter how fierce he is, he will have limited effect.

The attack just now illustrates this point.

Zu Mao stayed by Sun Ce's side and didn't say a word, but took the initiative to hand over a bowl of hot water when Huang Zhong came back.

——

The next morning, after breakfast, Sun Ce had the captive brought over and gave him a bowl of porridge. The captives were cold and hungry, and they took the porridge bowl and poured it into their mouths, not afraid of being hot.

"Okay, you can go back to Xiangyang City and bring my words to Liu Biao and Cai Mao."

"Whoa, whoa." The captive agreed, and flew away.

After the captives had passed the water, Sun Ce said to Huang Zhong and Zu Mao: "Whether you can succeed or not depends on the two of you." ”

Huang Zhong arched his hand and said nothing. Zu Mao looked very relaxed, shrugged his shoulders very casually, and waved his hand to bring two sets of armor. One set was given to Huang Zhong, and one set was given to Sun Ce. Sun Ce already had a set of fish scale armor, which was a bit tight and heavy when he wore it again.

"Is this necessary?"

"Yes." Zu Mao couldn't help but say. "No matter how good you are, there is always danger on the battlefield. Huang Hansheng also said, the Cai family has a strong crossbow, and it can pierce armor within 100 steps, I don't want you to shoot you to death with a random arrow because of a guy who doesn't have long eyes. Major General, the general started from scratch and had to work hard, you are different now, you should not take such a risk. ”

After Zu Mao finished speaking, he patted Sun Ce on the shoulder. "You are the eldest son of the general. You live, and we have faith. ”

Sun Ce didn't understand for a while, but he didn't insist. To be honest, he was a little scared when he went into battle for the first time, and wearing an extra set of iron armor would give him more protection, which was not a bad thing. Fortunately, this body is very strong, and the clumsiness is a little clumsy, not to the extent that he can't walk. It's just that the waist circumference has increased, and the long knife inserted in the belt is a little awkward. He simply pulled out the long knife and held it in his hand.

It seems that the sword is going to be reformed. Sun Ce patted his waist, which had thickened a lot, and thought to himself.

Boarding the raft and going down the river, Sun Ce took Huang Zhong, Zu Mao and others to Caizhou. As soon as he came ashore, someone greeted him before he could stand firmly. The leader is a middle-aged man, thin and thin, dressed in plain brocade, shining in the morning sun, low-key and luxurious. From afar, they bowed their hands and greeted each other with a smile.

"In Xia Cai Ji, I served as the manager of the Cai family, and on the orders of the head of the family, I dared to ask the general his surname, why did he come to Cai Zhou?"

Sun Ce put his hands behind his back. Wearing double armor, he looked so bloated that he couldn't buckle his hands, so he had to hold on to the scabbard. However, in this way, he was shy on his stomach, but he was a little more powerful. He glanced at the two warriors standing far behind Cai Ji, and then looked at the swaying figure on the corner tower of the Cai family's manor in the distance, his heartbeat accelerated a little, and the experience of being covered with blood last night came to his mind again.

"Sun Ce of Wujun, on the order of his father to capture the general, came to discuss family affairs with the Cai family, and borrowed some food by the way."

Sun Ce said with a smile, lowered his head, and wiped a bloody stain from his breastplate. Although Youyi wiped it, it still didn't wipe it completely. Cai Ji glanced at his hand, and his pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his originally calm momentum.

"Family? What's the matter? ”

"Not long ago, my father invaded Luoyang and met the late Taiwei Zhang Gong, who said that the Cai family also has a daughter, who is not young, widowed at home, and wants to marry my grandson's family."

Sun Ce frowned, his face displeased. Cai Ji was even more uneasy in his heart. He was just a person in charge, so he didn't know what the head of the family had discussed with Sun Jian. It sounds a bit of a surprise, but it's not outrageous. Zhang Wen is Cai Mao's uncle, and he is from Nanyang Sui County, Sun Jian is Zhang Wen's former official, if it is usual, Zhang Wen will never have such a proposal, but now is a troubled time, Sun Jian is a prince with heavy troops, Zhang Wen for the safety of the Zhang family and the Cai family, it is not impossible to marry Sun Jian, it can even be said to be a wise choice, Cai Mao wants to marry Liu Biao is also out of the same consideration. Cai Mao's support for Liu Biao is a recent thing, Zhang Wen could not have known at that time, now Sun Jian wants to attack Xiangyang and wants to marry the Cai family, which not only gets the support of the Cai family, but also separates the relationship between Cai Mao and Liu Biao, killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Cai Ji smiled even more enthusiastically. "Is the general here to take a chase or a levy?" He deliberately stretched out his head and looked behind Sun Ce. "I didn't see the dowry."
