Chapter 325: It's Time to Go Back

Sun Ce clenched his fists tightly, looking like he wanted to go immediately and kill Xu Chu.

Lu Bu turned his head to look at him: "Bo Fu, what is this going to do?" ”

"Cao Cao is hateful and tries to harm our family." Sun Ce said: "It's a pity that he is in Xudu, and he won't be able to do anything to him for a while." Xu Chu came to the rule of Chu Hou and beheaded him to vent his anger. We have to show Cao Cao that if he dares to send someone to intercept and kill our family, we will dare to kill his people. ”

"But I have already ordered Zilong and Ziyi to let Xu Chu go and not fight him." Lu Bu smiled very flatly.

Sun Ce was stunned and asked, "Chu Hou let Xu Chu go?" ”

"Xu Chu is not incompetent, and it is not easy to kill him." Lu Bu said: "Either Zilong and Ziyi can deal with him, but if he wants to leave, even if the two of them chase after him together, they will still let him escape." No matter what, it is impossible to keep him, it is better to do a favor and let him go. ”

"That's right, but I still feel that I shouldn't let it go, at least I have to give it a try, in case I really get caught, I can just give Cao Cao a dismount." Sun Ce's face was not very good, and he said, "Chu Hou should have asked me to go before." ”

"I've already sent two fierce generals, enough to protect my family, so why send you more?" Lu Bu replied: "I also need to hire people around me, they have to return immediately when they arrive in Jianye, there is no need for you to run too." ”

"But let go of Xu Chu, I'm a little unwilling." Sun Ce's face was not very good-looking, and he clenched his fists.

"It's not easy to capture him, instead of trying to find a way to catch him, it's better to let him go." Lu Bu said: "Xu Chu is a person next to Cao Cao, if we kill him, it will be an excuse for Cao Cao to send troops." But we don't kill him, let him go back without hindrance, Cao Cao gave us the truth, and it is not good to openly repay the grievances with virtue, so we can only endure it for the time being. ”

Continuing to walk forward, Lu Bu continued: "Although we have long received the news that Cao Cao will join forces with Yuan Shao to send troops to Xuzhou, we are not ready yet. For us, having more time to prepare is far more important than catching a Xu Chu. ”

Following behind Lu Bu, Sun Ce didn't say anything more,

Although he was unwilling, he also felt that what Lu Bu said was indeed right.

Capturing Xu Chu, Cao Cao will definitely send troops in a big way, and the Battle of Xuzhou will be launched before he is fully prepared.

When he was about to reach the door of the room where Lu Bu lived, Sun Ce asked: "Chu Hou said that he had to make adequate preparations, why did he come to the coal mine and spend time here?" ”

"Time-consuming?" Lu Bu, who was about to enter the door, turned his head: "Bo Fu feels that I am spending time here?" ”

Sun Ce nodded: "In my opinion, the most important thing now is to reorganize the troops and prepare to meet Cao Cao and Yuan Shao." Chu Hou not only did not do that, but also came to the coal mine in person to engage in those things that were of little use to the war. Although the lives of the craftsmen in the mine are important, they are not as important as the whole of Xuzhou and Yangzhou. ”

"I don't have to do it to prepare for war." Lu Bu said: "Before the war, all we had to do was military rations, ordnance and the training of the soldiers. Someone is doing all these things, do I have to stay there myself? If I were preparing for this every day, how could Cao Cao and Yuan Shao not know that I was preparing for war? Let others do it, and I will come to the mine to do something for the craftsmen, but it can paralyze them and give us enough preparation to buy time. ”

Turning around and walking into the room, he instructed Sun Ce: "Wait until I finish talking to the blacksmith, and then find two soldiers to come and boil hot water for me." ”

Since following Lu Bu, Sun Ce has become more and more convinced that he must be reasonable, so he agreed, and personally took a few guards to guard the door.

Walking into the room, Lu Bu picked up a picture on the table.

The picture depicts several cylinders, the longest of which is clearly fully assembled, and the next one that is disassembled into several pieces is the splicing structure of the entire large cylinder.

When the craftsmen were still making the fan, Lu Bu had already begun to design this drawing.

The so-called hydraulic support is that the bracket itself is not solid, and the weight is relatively light.

When it is necessary to use it to support the roof, water is poured into the hollow cylinder, and the support is lifted up by the pressure of the water to play a supporting role.

The hydraulic support is indeed convenient to use, but the problem that Lu Bu wants to solve is not just to build it.

After he built the scaffold, he had to think about how to fill it with water.

After 2,000 years, there are high-pressure water pipes, and the bracket can be lifted up by water pressure.

It's not so convenient in this day and age.

It is not possible to develop a tap water system for a few hydraulic supports.

Fill the hydraulic support with a bucket, and what Lu Bu has to solve is to jack the support when the water pressure is not strong enough.

So his blueprint made an opening in the edge of the main bracket.

Through this opening, water can be poured into the cylinder.

When not in use, simply unscrew the drain valve and the bracket will return to its form without water injection.

Looking carefully at the design drawings of the hydraulic support, Lu Bu felt that there should be no problem.

Sun Ce's voice came from outside the door: "Chu Hou, the coal mine manager brought the craftsman over." ”

Having already flipped through the drawings and looked at them clearly, thinking that there was no problem, Lu Bu ordered outside the door: "Please let them in." ”

Sun Ce led the steward and two craftsmen in.

The craftsman stood behind the steward with his head bowed, and the steward bowed to Lu Bu with a big salute: "I brought the person that Chu Hou wanted." ”

Looking at the two craftsmen, Lu Bu asked, "Are they all blacksmiths?" ”

"Back to Chuhou, he is the blacksmith with the best skills in the mine." The steward replied.

"Look at this picture, can you create something on it." Lu Bu picked up the picture.

The steward stepped forward, took it with both hands, retreated to the two blacksmiths, and gave them the drawing.

After taking the drawings, the two blacksmiths looked at them for a while.

One of them asked in surprise: "Dare to ask Chu Hou, is one of the pillars on the picture hollow?" ”

"See?" Lu Bu smiled slightly, and said to the two: "It's not one, but all of them are hollow." ”

"Hollow ones aren't easy to do." The blacksmith said, "With our skills, we can build a hollow iron pillar ......"

"It won't be an iron pillar, it's a steel pillar." Lu Bu interrupted him: "What I want is not only strong, but also not easy to rust, but it must be constantly filled with water and placed under the mine, if it is rusted, how can it support the roof?" ”

Both blacksmiths have passed on their skills since childhood, and they have been striking iron for many years, and they have never heard that iron tools do not rust.

Glancing at each other with stunned faces, another blacksmith asked, "Chu Hou has heard of iron tools that don't rust?" ”

"Absolutely." Lu Bu said: "As long as you add some other things to it, it can always be created." ”

only knew that there was a kind of steel in the world called stainless steel, but Lu Bu didn't know the composition of it, so he simply stole himself and handed over the task of polishing iron tools to the blacksmith without rust.

Although the iron-smelting process in the late Eastern Han Dynasty has matured, it is impossible for blacksmiths to know what method to use to keep the steel from rusting.

The two blacksmiths were in a dilemma, both thinking that this was an impossible task, but they did not dare to directly deny Lu Bu's statement.

"The hydraulic support will be built by you, and as for the materials used, you will figure it out yourself." Lu Bu waved his hand: "Let's go down first." ”

With the existing iron-striking technology, it was not easy to build the bracket required by Lu Bu.

In addition, they had to figure out how to make the iron not rust easily, and the two blacksmiths were full of bitter water and didn't know where to pour it.

However, Lu Bu's order had already been given, and they did not dare to disobey it, so they had to respond.

***************************************

The steward left with the blacksmith, and LΓΌ Bu instructed Sun Ce to find two guards for him who were in charge of boiling water.

Sun Ce beckoned two guards into the house.

The guards were boiling water in the house, and Lu Bu scooped up some animal fat and the like from the box.

In addition to grease and something like vanilla, Lu Bu took out a small jar of white powder.

"Chu Hou, what are you going to do?" Seeing him take out these things, Sun Ce asked suspiciously.

"The craftsmen came down from the well, and the baths were made of green salt." Lu Bu said: "Although green salt can remove filth, it will make people feel very unhappy when applied to the body. I'm going to make them something that they can use to get rid of impurities and that they don't feel bad when they rub it on their bodies. ”

He had long been accustomed to Lu Bu creating novelties, and Sun Ce had no doubts about his success.

But he didn't understand how animal fat could be used to get rid of filth.

Lu Bu poured some white powder into a larger jar.

As he was doing this, Sun Ce finally couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Is Chu Hou planning to use grease to make something that can remove filth?" ”

"Or else?" Lu Bu looked up and grinned at him.

"I just know that grease will be more filthy when it is applied to my body, and I really can't figure out how to use it to get rid of filth." Sun Ce shook his head: "Why don't Chu Hou try it with something else......"

"I haven't tried grease yet, so how can I easily change it to something else." Lu Bu didn't explain much to him, and continued to fiddle with the things in his hands.

didn't ask anything from Lu Bu's mouth, Sun Ce could only look at him with a confused expression.

The two guards lit the charcoal stove, and the charcoal in the furnace burned red.

Since the coal mine was established, coal has been used for fires all over Xuzhou.

Lu Bu also deliberately designed a stove specially used for burning charcoal.

This kind of stove is not only easy to lift and lift, but also can control the size of the stove by blocking the gas outlet under the stove, which is much more convenient than the stove used to burn wood in the past.

The guard carried the stove into the room, and Lu Bu had already prepared the materials in the clay pot according to the proportions.

Handing the clay pot to the guard, Lu Bu instructed: "Mix it with water and melt all the contents inside." ”

One of the guards took the pot and placed it on the stove.

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Sun Ce who was standing next to him, and seeing that he was still at a loss, he asked with a smile: "Bo Fu hasn't figured out why I want to use grease to make decontamination things?" ”

There has always been this doubt in his heart, and Sun Ce quickly nodded.

"It's actually quite simple." Lu Bu wanted to explain to Sun Ce, saying that oil is weakly acidic, and he used alkali powder as a neutralizer to remove the weak acidity and convert it into another substance, but this explanation not only could not make Sun Ce understand, but would make him even more confused, so he changed his words: "If it's just grease, even if it melts and solidifies again, it's still grease." When I heated the grease, I mixed it with alkali. If it is burned by alkali, the grease will no longer be so greasy, and it may be used to clean dirt. ”

Lu Bu tried his best to describe it in a language that Sun Ce could understand, but Sun Ce still couldn't understand why the grease and alkali were heated together, and the things made could be used to clean the dirt.

"Still don't understand?" Seeing that Sun Ce still had a puzzled face, Lu Bu asked him,

"What Chu Hou said is clear, but I still listen to the clouds." Sun Ce grinned very awkwardly: "It's nothing if I don't understand, if I can understand it, wouldn't I be able to create some strange things at any time like Chu Hou?" ”

"We'll see when it's done." Although Lu Bu knew the general production process, he did not dare to guarantee that he would be successful.

Two guards stood by the stove, heating clay pots full of ingredients.

In addition to the ingredients, the clay pot also contains a lot of water.

It takes a lot of time to heat up the entire jar.

The guards stood by the stove, and Lu Bu walked to the window.

From the window, you can see the entrance to the mine in the distance.

In the days when he came to the mine, Lu Bu would stand at the window for a while every day in his spare time, as if he was waiting for something.

Sun Ce was always by his side, never leaving.

"The annoyance soldiers came here with you, will they neglect to practice?" Looking into the distance through the window, Lu Bu asked.

"Every day I take the soldiers to practice." Sun Ce replied: "The trouble-solving soldiers are all the elites I have carefully selected, and they have improved very quickly these days. As long as Chu Hou gives an order, I can immediately take them into battle to kill the enemy. ”

"Do you find the world particularly interesting?" Lu Bu suddenly said this sentence without warning.

Stunned by his question, Sun Ce asked blankly: "I don't know what the meaning of Chu Hou asked this?" ”

"I don't have any meaning." Lu Bu said with a smile: "It's just a casual emotion, not long ago, you and I were still hostile. Now that you are my personal general, is it all fate? ”

"Staying by Chu Hou's side is not because I am not good at it." Sun Ce smiled awkwardly: "If I could get Chu Hou, this wouldn't be here." ”

"If you can get me, you'll still be your little overlord of Jiangdong." Lu Bu turned around and patted his arm lightly.

One of the guards by the stove said to him, "Qi Chuhou, all the contents of the jar have been boiled into juice and stirred well. ”

After greeting Sun Ce, Lu Bu came to the stove.

He picked up the stick that had been placed in the jar and stirred it lightly.

Sure enough, there was no trace of grease in the jar, only a very viscous liquid.

"Pour the contents of the jar into the box next to it." Lu Bu instructed the two guards.

One of the guards lifted the jar and carefully poured the viscous liquid into the box.

Looking at the guard's actions, Sun Ce wanted to ask Lu Bu if he could use these liquids to remove the dirt from his body.

Although he wanted to ask, he finally held back.

The liquid was poured into the box, and Lu Bu waved his hand at the two guards.

The guard withdrew with the stove in hand.

He and Sun Ce stood next to the box, looking at the steaming liquid inside.

"It looks sticky." Sun Ce whispered: "I don't really understand, how can I use this thing to remove the dirt from my body." ”

"Wait until it's cold and look at it." Lu Bu didn't explain, but just told Sun Ce that he had to wait for the liquid to be cold.

Sun Ce really didn't ask any more questions, and waited beside Lu Bu with him.

After waiting for a while, he found that the originally transparent liquid gradually became turbid as the temperature decreased, and the surface seemed to be about to solidify.

Looking at Lu Bu in astonishment, Sun Ce felt that he had a lot to ask.

But in the end, he still didn't ask.

I had already asked before, and Lu Bu also gave an explanation, but he couldn't even understand half of the sentence.

I don't understand Lu Bu's explanation, no matter how much I ask, it's useless, it's better to stand on the side and just watch.

As time goes on, the temperature of the liquid inside the box also gets lower and lower.

When it was poured into the box, it was a transparent viscous liquid, and after a while, it became a little turbid, and after Lu Bu and Sun Ce waited for half an hour, the liquid had already condensed into a lump and became a completely opaque solid substance.

Lu Bu took a short sword and made a few cuts on the solid object in the box.

Finally, he pried up a small piece of it and handed it to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu wash your hands with it and try to see if it will feel greasy." ”

Hesitantly taking the piece, Sun Ce first turned it over and looked at it.

What he pinched in his hand was a solid square that felt good to the touch and gave people a lubricating experience.

Judging from the shape of the solid cube alone, he could not tell that it was made of grease and condensation.

The piece of stuff in his hand has completely lost its appearance of grease.

"Come on, fetch water." Before Sun Ce could understand why the grease had turned into such strange little squares, Lu Bu had already shouted to the door.

A moment later, a guard walked in with a basin of water.

"Wait for General Sun to wash his face." Lu Bu instructed the guards.

The guard held the basin in both hands, lowered his head and handed it to Sun Ce.

"Chu Hou, this ......" Sun Ce was still hesitating whether to wash his face with that thing.

"Can't trust me?" Lu Bu smiled at him and said, "If you can really get rid of dirt, I call this thing soap." Later, the craftsmen of the mine came up from the mine and used him to clean up the filth. ”

Lu Bu even took the name of the thing in his hand, and Sun Ce felt that if he didn't use it, he really couldn't say it, so he had to pick up some water from the basin, put the soap in the palm of his hand and rub it.

The soap is warm as jade in the hand, but it does not slip out.

After getting wet, Sun Ce rubbed it a few times, and it actually fell from his hand into the basin.

Fished several times, and each time he obviously grabbed the soap, but the moment he grasped it in his hand, he was squeezed out again.

"Don't be impatient, take it gently." Lu Bu said a word to Sun Ce.

According to what he said, Sun Ce gently scooped up the soap and didn't dare to hold it harder.

Sure enough, this time he successfully took the soap in his hand.

Instructed the guards to take a piece of cloth and wrap the soap in Sun Ce's hand, Lu Bu asked, "How is Bo Fujue?" Is it clean? ”

Raising his hands to look at it, Sun Ce was stunned and said, "It's indeed a lot cleaner......"

"In addition to the use in the mine, I asked people to make it in batches, and handed this thing to Zhang Shiping to take out and sell it, Bo Fu thinks it can be sold at a good price?" Lu Bu asked Sun Ce.

"Earlier, Jiangdong Shi women liked to buy the toothpaste passed down from Xuzhou from merchants." Sun Ce said: "At first, I didn't know that the toothpaste was prepared by Chu Hou, but I knew that it was an excellent thing. If today's soap is sent to the market, I am afraid that it will be sold out. ”

"Grease is not something hard to come by, and alkalis are everywhere." Lu Bu said: "To make soap, it's just to add some spices to make it smell more refreshing. The cost is not much, and the advantage is that others do not have it. Make a lot of money with it, does Bo Fu think it's possible? ”

"What Chu Hou created, of course, is the only one in the world." Sun Ce replied: "I think that as long as soap is put on the market, it will definitely make a lot of money." ”

"Since Bo Fu also approves, then I will invite Zhang Shiping to talk to him about how I can earn more benefits by selling soap." Sun Ce was very appreciative of the soap, and Lu Bu shouted outside the door: "Go to someone, invite Zhang Shiping, and say that I have a way to give him a fortune." ”

*******************************************

At the beginning, Zhang Shiping cooperated with Lu Bu for the first time, selling toothpaste that many people thought could not be of any value.

Through toothpaste, Zhang Shiping opened up the sales channel of daily necessities.

Later, Lu Bu successively launched toilet water and other supplies, and the sales momentum was also good.

In particular, the furniture created by Lu Bu has even completely replaced the previous furniture styles in some places, changing people's home habits.

Through cooperation with Lu Bu, although he used to have some family business, Zhang Shiping, who was not a rich party, now has a family business that ordinary people can imagine.

monopolized the business of daily necessities and furniture in Lu Bu's hands, as a businessman, Zhang Shiping would certainly not be satisfied.

He had already made plans to stay in Xuzhou all year round, and he even controlled the coal produced by the coal mine.

Zhang Shiping held the coal, and all the raw coal had to pass through that hand before it could fall into the hands of other merchants.

When LΓΌ Bu was still crusading against Sun Ce, the coal mine manager reported Zhang Shiping's monopoly of coal to Chen Gong.

He had long known that Lu Bu wanted Zhang Shiping to be the spokesperson for the circulation of his goods, but Chen Gong only instructed the stewards to do everything according to the past rules.

After receiving Chen Gong's instructions, the steward no longer asked about Zhang Shiping's monopoly.

He is even more comfortable in the mines, and other businessmen who want to obtain coal have to deliberately confront him.

Zhang Shiping is also sensible.

There are a lot of benefits from Xuzhou, but he doesn't carry them all in his arms, and often takes out some money to buy grain and horses and send them to the army.

The cooperation between Lu Bu and Zhang Shiping can be said to be more and more tacit.

After being summoned by Lu Bu, Zhang Shiping didn't dare to delay for a moment and hurried over.

The guard led him into the room.

Bowing to Lu Bu, Zhang Shiping asked, "Dare to ask Chu Hou to call me over, is there anything new and strange for me to take out and sell?" ”

"Shiping really knows me, the guards shouldn't have said anything to you, and they actually know that there are novelties." Lu Bu picked up a piece of soap and asked him with a smile, "Look at this, what price can it be sold for?" ’

Taking the piece of soap with both hands, it was not clear what it was for, Zhang Shiping asked Lu Bu in astonishment: "What is the use of this that Chu Hou wants to sell?" ”

Lu Bu glanced at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce said: "Chu Hou named it soap, which was used to clean it instead of green salt. ”

Zhang Shiping, of course, knows what it means to replace green salt.

When I put the soap in my hand, I feel like I can't put it into words.

Zhang Shiping, who was holding the soap, really didn't know how this kind of thing could be used instead of green salt.

"Teach him the Bolfuk." Lu Bu instructed Sun Ce.

stepped forward to get soap from Zhang Shiping's hand, and Sun Ce instructed the guards to bring a basin of water.

has already used it once, Sun Ce has some understanding of soap, and when he showed it to Zhang Shiping, the movements were not as jerky as before.

After washing his hands, Sun Ce put the soap that had become slippery and greasy with water on Zhang Shiping's hand: "You can try it." ”

I watched Sun Ce wash his hands with his own eyes, and Zhang Shiping also followed his example and washed his hands with soap.

After washing his hands and handing the soap to the guard next to him, Lu Bu asked him: "Shiping thinks it is clean with soap or green salt." ”

Raising his hand and looking at it carefully, Zhang Shiping said with a surprised face: "Washing hands with this kind of thing is much cleaner than green salt." After washing, there was no pain in my hands soaked in green salt. ”

"If you take it out and sell it, do you think it can be sold for a good price?" Lu Bu asked again about the price of soap.

Zhang Shiping replied: "This thing is novel, and I have never seen it in the market. If you take it out, you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price. ”

"I'll give you the right to sell soap, do you want it or not?" Lu Bu asked.

Witnessing the benefits of soap in person, Zhang Shiping didn't want it, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Chuhou Chengquan!" ”

"I'll arrange for someone to make it in batches." Lu Bu said to him: "You go back first, and someone will contact you to buy the goods at that time." ”

got the right to sell soap from Lu Bu, and Zhang Shiping left with a thousand thanks.

When he left, Sun Ce asked Lu Bu: "Chu Hou can make such a good thing, why don't you use your own businessman, but Zhang Shiping?" I heard that he used to be a horse dealer, and in recent years, his livelihood has not been very good, so he came to Xuzhou. ”

"If I personally arrange for people to sell these, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will have to be used." Lu Bu replied: "Since there are mature businessmen like Zhang Shiping in Xuzhou, why should I find a group of laymen to sell goods that are already very complicated? Although a merchant is a lowly business, not everyone can do it. Zhang Shiping has been in business for many years, and he is much more shrewd than those under me. ”

"I don't mean anything else, I just feel that the benefits are blocked by him, and there are not many in the hands of Chu Hou." Sun Ce said: "If Chu Hou arranges someone to do these things, maybe the benefits will be much more than if they are handed over to Zhang Shiping." ”

"You can't think so." Lu Bu smiled slightly: "Leave it to him, he can only sell one copper coin, he can sell ten copper coins, give me half and five." If I had arranged for someone to do it myself, I would only be able to sell one at most. In this way, what kind of bargain is it? ”

Sun Ce considered that if he didn't hand over the goods to Zhang Shiping, Lu Bu would be able to get all the benefits from them.

But Lu Bu really thinks that Zhang Shiping can maximize the benefits by taking the goods out for sale.

Even if he took half of it, it would be more cost-effective than Lu Bu selling it himself.

When Lu Bu calculated this, Sun Ce seemed to understand a little.

Although there are some more complicated twists and turns that he didn't think clearly, he can also vaguely detect why Lu Bu didn't choose to arrange the people around him to do it when he had a novelty, but instead found Zhang Shiping as his spokesperson for business.

"We've been here for a few days, and the mine air supply has been solved, as well as roof support and underground lighting, and other problems are still waiting to be dealt with." Lu Bu said: "If you want to deal with it all, I don't think it's possible to do it for a year and a half." ”

"Won't Chu Hou have to wait here for a year and a half?" Sun Ce asked in astonishment.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were still eyeing each other, although they let Xu Chu go and did not give Cao Cao an excuse to send troops, but sooner or later war could not be avoided.

If Lu Bu really planned to stay in the mine for so long, this battle would not have to be fought, and it would be good to directly give Xuzhou to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

"How is that possible?" Lu Bu smiled at him and said to him, "In two days, we should also return to Pengcheng." It won't be long before Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses should set off. ”

"The two roads are attacking Xuzhou, and Chuhou has no ability to clone himself, so this battle is not easy to fight." Sun Ce asked, "Dare to ask Chu Hou, is there anything I can do?" ”

"You can do what you can do on the battlefield." Lu Bu patted his arm lightly.

As if remembering something, Sun Ce asked again: "The family members are all sent to Jianye, does the Marquis of Chu want to send two generals to guard the town?" ”

"Lu Zijing escorted his family to Jianye, and he didn't have to return to Pengcheng." Lu Bu replied: "There is a Yangtze River natural danger there, and he is not incapable." When I return to Pengcheng, I'll allocate some more people to him. ”

Sun Ce replied: "As long as the family members are in Jianye, Chu Hou and everyone have no worries, even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao come together, we are not without the strength to fight." ”

"When it comes to martial arts, who in the world can compare to me?" Lu Bu said refreshingly: "What's more, I still have you by my side, even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's fierce generals are like clouds and countless wise men, what can they do to us?" In the whole world except me, who is qualified to guide the country and unify the society? ”

Lu Bu's words were impassioned, and if he was an enemy of him or had taken refuge in him, Sun Ce would have scoffed at what he said.

He had been following Lu Bu for some days, and almost every day, Lu Bu could give him different surprises.

As the days went by, Sun Ce's admiration for Lu Bu had already changed from hostility to reverence, and then to a desperate follower.

"As long as Chu Hou does not give up, I am willing to advance and retreat with Chu Hou!" Sun Ce clenched his fists and bowed to Lu Bu.
