Sun Ce really wanted Zhou Yu to stay and give advice and deal with Kuai Yue together, but he knew that Zhou Yu could play a greater role by Sun Jian's side. Sun Jianyong is brave, but there is no strategist, and only Zhou Yu can take on this role at the moment. Arranging for Zhou Yu to be a think tank by Sun Jian's side is actually a very easy thing to do, with Zhou Yu's family background as a premise, coupled with Zhou Yu's own super ability, this is to gain Sun Jian's unreserved trust, the opportunity is rare, Sun Ce doesn't want to lose big because of a small one.

As for Kuaiyue, let's figure it out for yourself. In terms of playing tricks, he may not be as good as Jia Xu and Guo Jia, but he is definitely better than Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu left, and Zu Mao walked with him. Zu Mao was ordered by Sun Jian to leave the hundred righteous servants behind and return to the camp alone. Sun Ce wanted to send him off, but was stopped by Zhou Yu. Zu Mao is Sun Jian's confidant general, and Sun Ce should not be too close to him.

Sun Ce knew that he was reasonable, but he still couldn't avoid being a little disappointed in his heart.

After sending Zhou Yu away, Sun Ce immediately rearranged the defense. Huang Zhong was appointed as a lieutenant, and it was impossible to serve as his subordinate general, so he selected a captain named Lin Feng from among the 100 righteous subordinates to be a subordinate general and protect him closely, while the 1,200 people led by Huang Zhong were used as a personal guard battalion and were responsible for perimeter security.

In the afternoon, Sun Fu came back in a hurry. Sun Jian and Sun Ben agreed to his request to marry Cai Ke as his wife, and Sun Ce could only "reluctantly" agree, taking the opportunity to send an evil fire and drive the Cai family's father and daughter to a small courtyard. Cai Ke's mind was reached, but he didn't care about him, and started to be a bride-to-be, thinking about what dowry to prepare, and waiting for Sun Jian's father and son to seize Xiangyang, so that Sun Fu could marry her in style.

The Han people have an open atmosphere, although the Cai family is a big family, after all, it is not a Confucian family of poetry and books, and during the war, there is such an unreasonable commodity as Sun Ce living in the house, and they are not allowed to speak. That night, Sun Fu lived in Cai Ke's small courtyard and cooked raw rice into cooked rice. Sun Fu is not a child man, and Cai Ke is not a newcomer in the real sense, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

As the saying goes, only those who work hard know how to cherish it, for this marriage, Cai Ke has paid the most effort, and he also cherishes Sun Fu very much. Unconsciously, she had forgotten that two days ago, even if Sun Fu carried the money to the door, she might not be willing to look at Sun Fu.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Cai Ke woke up Sun Fu. Sun Fu rubbed his eyes, yawned, and refused to get up from the bed.

"What's the matter, so early?"

"Early?" Cai Ke said angrily: "You go and see what your brother Sun Bofu is doing." ”

"He? It must be up to practice martial arts. Sun Fu sat up. I usually work hard, but yesterday I was so tired that I couldn't get up after running back and forth for dozens of miles. ”

"He's not just practicing martial arts." Cai Ke said: "I heard the maidservant say that he didn't disarm all night, and the light in the room kept on. ”

Sun Fu was stunned for a moment, rubbing his head, a little embarrassed. "He's definitely worried about the war. Rise up too, and let no one look down on me. ”

Cai Ke was very satisfied. "It's like a man. Get up quickly, I have ordered a man to prepare breakfast, and you will eat with him after you have washed up. Don't forget, you are not only his brother, but also his lieutenant, you have been in the army longer than him, you have to be responsible, don't be robbed of credit by Huang Hansheng. ”

Sun Fu nodded again and again, endured the backache and got up, and after washing, Cai Ke pushed him to the main hall. Sun Ce had already gotten up and was practicing boxing in front of the hall, when he saw Sun Fu and Cai Ke walking in, he put away his fist, walked up to Sun Fu, stabbed him, and squeezed his eyes.

"Satisfied?"

Sun Fu smiled embarrassedly and turned to Cai Ke. Cai Ke stepped forward and bowed sideways.

"The bride Cai Ke has seen the general."

Sun Ce waved his hand. "Okay, okay, although I don't approve of it, but the matter has come to this, I still have to call you sister-in-law. I said sister-in-law, my brother is honest, don't bully him. Otherwise, I'll still turn my face. ”

Cai Ke was blushed by Sun Ce's "sister-in-law", and hurriedly agreed, and asked people to bring breakfast. Sun Ce was also polite and invited them to dine together. Sun Fu took two bites and said, "Bo Fu, I heard that you haven't disarmed your armor overnight?" ”

"Extraordinary times." Sun Ce teased: "My brother is newly married, I have to pay attention to my younger brother, don't surprise you couple, you should work hard." ”

Cai Ke lowered his head and fiddled with his clothes. Sun Fu laughed twice and said, "Is there any news then?" ”

Sun Ce drank a bowl of porridge, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a cloth, and cleaned his hands again. "Last night, the Xiangyang Navy Division had already surrounded Cai Zhou."

"Smack!" The bowl in Sun Fu's hand fell on the table, and the porridge was splashed everywhere. Cai Ke glared at him and hurriedly asked people to come over to clean up. Sun Fu couldn't take care of her, and stammered: "Bo Fu, is this true?" ”

"If you don't believe me, go up to the corner tower and have a look."

Sun Fu hurriedly got up, and before he even had time to put on his shoes, he rushed down the lobby and went straight to the southwest corner tower. Sun Ce was motionless, and Cai Ke's face was also a little ugly. Sun Fu's performance disappointed her greatly. Sun Ce saw it in his eyes and said lightly: "Sister-in-law, don't you go to take a look?" ”

Cai Ke bit his lip. "I'm a woman, what can I do if I see it?"

"Sister-in-law is too modest. Although you are a woman, you will not let your eyebrows be shaved. To tell you the truth, when I first heard the news last night, I was the same as my brother, and I didn't react for a long time. Alas, Liu Biao came quickly, faster than I imagined. ”

Cai Ke's face softened a little, thought about it, and said, "It may not be Liu Biao, maybe it is Kuai Yue." The military power of Xiangyang was in his hands, and the sailors were commanded by his subordinate Kuaiqi. In terms of time, it should have just been transferred from Xiakou. ”

Sun Ce sighed, thoughtful. "In this way, the Kuai family is really powerful."

Cai Ke was unwittingly provoked by Sun Ce's anger. "Kuai Yue and Liu Biao used to work together in the general He Jin Mansion, Liu Biao went to Jingzhou, the first place he went to was Yicheng, and he wanted to find the Ma family for advice, but the Ma family did not immediately agree to him, he turned around and went to find Kuai Yue, and then came to my Cai family. Kuai Yue was ruthless, killed dozens of families in one go, and helped Liu Biao control Jingzhou, so he naturally held great power. It is not so much that Liu Biao won Jingzhou, but that Kuai Yue won Jingzhou. ”

Sun Ce watched coldly. As far as he knew, Liu Biao was able to rule Jingzhou for more than ten years, although he was able to rely on the support of Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, but he was also firmly controlled by these people. How Kuai Yue gained power, and how powerful he was, is not clearly stated in the history books, but he contributed a lot to Liu Biao's capture of Jingzhou, and he took the lead at the beginning. Cai Mao mastered the military power relatively late, first did a few Taishou, after Liu Biao became the general of Zhennan, he served as a military division, and did not directly control the military power of a state, it should be that Liu Biao was later to balance Kuai Yue, and Cai Ke was a concubine, Cai Mao only had the strength to compete with Kuai Yue. Right now, the Cai family is still being pressed by Kuai Yue, and even Taishou hasn't had a chance to do it, and it's normal for Cai Ke to have resentment in his heart.

That's exactly what he needs. If you want to find Kuai Yue's flaws and find a way to lure him out of the city for a decisive battle, it is most convenient to find an opportunity from the Cai family.

Sun Ce pretended to be like waking up from a dream. "Sister-in-law, you said that Kuai Yue didn't save Cai Zhou before, and now he has sent a sailor to surround Cai Zhou, could it be that he borrowed a knife to kill people and came to your Cai family?"

Cai Ke's delicately painted willow eyebrows gradually erected, and he gritted his teeth. "Kuaixeno, you can't die well."
