The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan Festival.

In the evening, Sun Ce arrived as promised, the 400 Yi Cong Battalion stood by the sword under the leadership of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and the 200 Yi Cong Cavalry was led by Yan Xing, which were divided into two sides. The six hundred men and horses were fully armed, with a serious expression, and when they stood in front of Xu's house, even the wind was cold for three minutes, and the people nearby avoided one after another, and there was no stranger to be seen within a hundred steps.

Xu Chun's father and son stood at the door, and when they saw this scene, their hearts beat in shock, and they glanced at each other. Xu Chun looked at Xu Min and said in a low voice, "Shuming, are you ready?" ”

Xu Min nodded vigorously. "Ah Weng, you can rest assured, everything is ready, foolproof. No matter how smart Sun Ce is, he will not doubt us. When the time comes, throw the prepared evidence to the scene, and let Sun Ce find Chen Yu and Wan Bing to settle accounts, he won't be able to get out of the mountain in a few months. ”

Xu Chun also nodded vigorously to cheer himself up. In order to prevent Sun Ce from grasping the handle, he deliberately let Chen Defeat and others take action this time, instead of letting people related to the Xu family take action. Chen Yu and others have a history of rebellion, and later made a yellow scarf, which is not visible, and not many people know about it. and Sun Jian had a life-and-death enmity, and the sneak attack on Sun Ce was justified, but it was instigated by others. Even if Sun Ce suspected them, he couldn't find any evidence.

At this time, Sun Ce passed through the ranks of righteous servants and came to the door. Xu Chun hurriedly lifted the hem of his clothes, stepped forward quickly, grabbed Sun Ce's reins, and smiled all over his face. "The general is not harmed? I haven't seen him for a day, such as every three autumns, and Chun's whole family has congratulated the general for a long time. ”

Sun Ce turned over and dismounted, and bowed his hand. "Gong Xu is too polite, how can the kid afford it."

Xu Chun was humble and motioned for several sons to come forward to pay respects. Sun Ce didn't see Xu Min last time, but this time he couldn't help but look at it twice. Xu Min was uneasy in his heart, and his smile was a little reluctant. Seeing this, Xu Chun hurriedly stepped forward to interject and introduced Sun Ce to the door. Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled Xu Chun not to worry. Xu Chun was puzzled, but saw Sun Ce turn around and beckon, dozens of ox carts were led over, each cart was full of large and small boxes and bags, the cart creaked, and the cattle pulling the cart looked a little struggling.

Xu Chun was puzzled. "General, this is ......"

"Last time, I was grateful for Xu Gong's hospitality, and today I came to disturb again, and I really don't want to go. Come and don't be rude, prepare a little courtesy, and ask Xu Gong not to be suspicious. There are also some goods that are ready to be transferred to Xu Gong, which is not much, about twenty or thirty million. Gong Xu, with such a big family business of yours, twenty or thirty million should be no problem, right? ”

Xu Chun secretly complained to himself. Wang Zhen said that the total price of Sun Ce's goods is about 50 million, and if he wants to transfer 20 million or 30 million to him, and then give him some, this will be more than half of it, how much can he leave for Chen Yuyao? This loss is too small, will Sun Ce not care about it, just forget it? But Sun Ce has already brought the goods, and he can't let Sun Ce pull it back, otherwise Sun Ce will be angry, turn around and leave, and today's preparations will be in vain.

"Do your best, do your best." Xu Chun called his eldest son Xu Jing and asked him to receive the goods.

"Thank you, Gong Xu."

Sun Ce and Xu Chun walked side by side towards the courtyard. Pang Tong, Xiang Lang and others followed him into the door, but Dian Wei and the others stood still, no matter how Xu Min greeted, they ignored them. Xu Chun listened, stopped and looked at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce smiled and waved his hand. "Xu Gong doesn't have to care, these are rough people, they know how to fight and kill, they don't even know the words, how can they guess what lantern riddles. They come in and only spoil the atmosphere and scare the other guests. Just let them stay outside, and we can enjoy the lanterns with confidence. ”

"But these warriors are standing at the door, where dare anyone come?" Xu Chun pretended to be hearty and made a joke. "The general won't be afraid of too many opponents who guess the riddle, and he is worried about losing the enemy, right?"

Sun Ce laughed. "Don't worry, there will be someone who knows lantern riddles to help you later, and they are masters. Xu Gong, I can remind you in advance, that is the son of the Yang family of the fourth and third princes, extremely smart, whether your riddle is enough to guess, I am very curious. ”

Although Xu Chun has never left Wu County in his life, his father Xu Jian has been an official for many years and is no stranger to the Yang family of the Hong family. When he learned that there were children of the Yang family who came with Sun Ce, he was relieved. If this person stays on the ship, he is accidentally injured by Chen Wei and others, but it will be a big trouble. He repeatedly asked Sun Ce to let Dian Wei and the others enter the hospital and not to stand at the door, so as not to frighten the others. Sun Ce was as good as a stream, and ordered Yi to ride into the door from the step, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were each responsible for one side, surrounding the main courtyard, and even the Xu family's subordinates were isolated. Yan Xing led the righteous cavalry to patrol in front of the door and maintain vigilance.

Seeing that Sun Ce took over his yard, Xu Chun was not nervous, but secretly despised it. He invited Sun Ce to be a guest, Sun Ce had no reason to be unfavorable to him, it could only be that Sun Ce had done too much evil, and his heart was empty, and he was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to him, so he took so many people with him wherever he went. How good it is to bring people, the more people here, the fewer people left behind, the easier it is for them to start, and it is easier for them to flee for their lives.

Xu Chun accompanied Sun Ce to the main hall and sat down to talk together. It didn't take long for Wang Zhen to arrive. When he passed through the main gate, he saw a carload of goods pulled into Xu's house, thinking that Xu Chun and Sun Ce had negotiated. Xu Chun couldn't laugh or cry, and told Wang Zhen about the situation. Wang Zhen was also a little confused and at a loss. He just wanted to quit, but was grabbed by Sun Ce.

"Where is Wang Juncheng going?"

"I'll go check on the goods."

"What's there to see about then, just let them deal with it, I have something to ask you about." Sun Ce couldn't help but say something, and pressed Wang Zhen to the seat. "Xu Fujun has been gone for a few days, when will he be able to come back? I want to pay a visit to him before I leave, do you think it's convenient? Also, will the new Yangzhou Assassin come to Wu County, if so, I will also visit him by the way to see who he is. ”

Hearing that Sun Ce was going to see Xu Gong and Liu Xuan, Wang Zhen couldn't care about other things, so he hurriedly explained to Sun Ce. Sun Ce was also reasonable, and when he learned that Xu Gong had not returned, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back, he didn't ask again. Wang Zhen was still thinking about the goods, took a moment, and asked, "General, how many goods do you still have in your hands?" ”

"There are more than 40 million more. What's the matter, Wang Juncheng has found a buyer again? ”

Wang Zhen was surprised and delighted. "How can there be so many?"

Sun Ce smiled. "What I told you before was only the goods I had on hand, not counting the ones that had been rewarded to the soldiers. Didn't you fight a battle in Danyang a few years ago, and military merits are always rewarded, and there are twenty or thirty million in seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and eight. I was going to take it to Huiji and let them sell it themselves, but if there was a buyer to buy it, of course I would be willing to exchange it for cash. It can be exchanged for food, thousands of people and horses, and the daily food consumption is also a large amount. ”

Looking at Sun Ce, who was worried about money and food, Wang Zhen and Xu Chun looked at each other and smiled, and finally let go of a big stone in their hearts.

"Don't worry, give me two days, and I will definitely find a buyer to relieve the general's worries."

Sun Ce also smiled and patted Wang Zhen's elbow. "Then I'll thank Wang Juncheng."
