Zhou Yu settled Cao Shuo in the city and did not immediately take him to see Sun Ce.

Wu County General's Mansion.

A young general about twenty-three or fourteen years old, half a head taller than Zhou Yu, with a delicate face and an unusually resolute gaze, stood in the front hall with his hands in his hands.

He is none other than Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu, who had just settled Cao Shuo and the others, hurriedly entered the hall.

Hearing footsteps behind him, without waiting for Zhou Yu to speak, Sun Ce turned to him and asked, "What's the matter?" Did Cao Zirong agree? ”

"I promised, I promised very well!" Zhou Yu replied.

"No bargaining?" Sun Ce was stunned.

"Not at all!" Zhou Yu said: "If he bargains, I will rest assured." But such a refreshing promise, how can it make people feel that something is not right. ”

"I heard that Cao Zirong is a character who has to grab mud when he falls to the ground." Sun Ce frowned and said, "The promise is so simple, it really makes people wonder what other intentions he has." ”

"100,000 hanging money is not a small amount." Zhou Yu said: "If someone else agrees to this amount, I can still believe it calmly." However, Cao Zirong's promise was so refreshing, it didn't make people feel safe. ”

"What do you think he's going to do?" Sun Ce asked.

"I think about it, Jiangdong doesn't have anything worth his 100,000 hanging money in exchange." Zhou Yu said with a frown.

"Hang him for two days, and I'll see what he plans." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu arched his hand and said, "Obey the general's orders." ”

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu speculated about Cao Shuo's intentions, Cao Shuo and Pang Tong also came to their residence.

Following Cao Shuo into the room, Pang Tong asked, "Son, Zhou Yu asked for 100,000 hanging money when he opened his mouth, how could he agree in one bite?" ”

"He wants 100,000, is it possible that I have to give him 100,000?" Cao Shuo pouted indifferently.

"But Childe has already agreed." Pang Tong said: "Jiangdong Sun's family broke through Anhui City, except for Qiao Gong's second daughter, Gongzi couldn't get any benefits. 100,000 hanging money, it seems that it is going to be wasted. ”

"Who says they can't get anything?" Cao Shuo said: "Although Sun Ce is known as the little overlord, he is very filial. As long as you find Mrs. Sun, you don't have to give a penny of 100,000 hanging money. ”

"Childe means ......" Pang Tong still didn't quite understand.

"Sun Wentai has five sons and one daughter." Cao Shuo said: "I want to ask Brother Pang to ask to see Mrs. Sun and keep a red match for me and her daughter." ”

Cao Shuo's words came out, and Pang Tong immediately understood his intentions.

With a sudden, Pang Tong said: "Childe's intention is to marry the Sun family here, and Sun Ce will ask the Cao family for benefits again, and Childe will be able to cry poor in front of her......"

"See through it, don't say it." Cao Shuo interrupted him and said seriously: "For the sake of the Cao family, I sacrificed so much. A personable son like me sent himself to Jiangdong to be a son-in-law, and it was a bit unpleasant to spread it. Low-key, we must do this low-key. ”

"Childe's visit to Jiangdong this time is really a blessing." Pang Tong lost: "First got the second daughter of Qiao Gong from Wancheng, and this will go to the Sun family to propose marriage." But I still feel that 100,000 hanging money may be inevitable. ”

"If you can't avoid it, you don't have to avoid it." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "I used 100,000 yuan to form an alliance with the Sun family in Jiangdong, and I also married the daughter of the Sun family, so I didn't go in vain when I came to Jiangdong this time." ”

Having understood Cao Shuo's intentions, Pang Tong said: "Mrs. Sun lives in Sun Ce's General's Mansion, and it is impossible to see her directly. ”

"Brother Pang thinks how can I meet her?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Childe can go and ask to see Zhang Zhao first!" Pang Tong said: "Zhang Zhao is an old minister of the Sun family, an official who worships Changshi and a general in the Fu army, and is very prestigious in Jiangdong. ”

"The moment we entered Wu County, we were surrounded by Zhou Gongjin's eyeliner." Cao Shuo asked, "Is it appropriate to swagger to see Zhang Zhao?" ”

"Nothing out of place." Pang Tong said: "If the son is sneaky, he will cause trouble. ”

Cao Shuo stood up and said to Pang Tong: "What Shiyuan said is right, you will accompany me to see Zhang Zhao." ”

called Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao, and when Cao Shuo went out, he told the guards in Zhou Yu's mansion that he was going to see Zhang Zhao, and swaggered out of the gate of Zhou's house.

Coincidentally, when Cao Shuo came, Zhang Zhao came back from Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce discussed something, and he also had a general understanding.

Hearing that Cao Shuo asked to see him, Zhang Zhao immediately thought that he was here to intercede, and wanted to spend less money to ask the Jiangdong Sun clan to crusade against Wancheng.

Originally, I didn't plan to see Cao Shuo, but the people had already arrived at the door, and it was really rude not to see him.

Zhang Zhao instructed the servants to invite Cao Shuo to the study to speak.

Knowing that Zhang Zhao saw him in the study, Cao Shuo said to Pang Tong and the others who came together: "Let's come here today, but we have a hot face and a cold ass." It doesn't matter if you want a face or not, the key is whether it is useful or not. ”

Everyone smiled slightly.

Pang Tong said: "Zhou Gongjin just received Gongzi, we came to see Zhang Gong, he refused to treat him politely, and he was already a bad treatment to Gongzi." In my opinion, going to see Zhang Gong in the study is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing. ”

"You mean it's very comfortable to put a hot face on a cold ass on a hot day?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

Pang Tong and the others glanced at each other, and they all laughed.

The servants of the Zhang family led Cao Shuo and others to the study.

Cao Shuo instructed Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao: "The two of you are waiting here, and Shi Yuan will accompany me in." ”

Deng Zhan, Zhu Ao and others were outside the door, and Cao Shuo took Pang Tong into Zhang Zhao's study.

Cao Shuo entered the house, and Zhang Zhao got up to greet him: "The son's request to see should have been received in the front hall, but he had no choice but to have a lot of affairs, so he could only grieve the son." ”

Bowing his hand back, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Gong Zhang doesn't have to be polite, you and I both know that even if Gong Zhang is not busy with affairs, it is impossible to receive me in the front hall, so why talk about these vains." ”

Zhang Zhao was indeed polite with Cao Shuo.

But he didn't expect that Cao Shuo didn't say a few polite words like others, but directly exposed him.

Grinning very awkwardly, Zhang Zhao said, "Please sit down!" ”

Cao Shuo and Pang Tong sat down, and Zhang Zhao asked, "Gongzi came to see me, I don't know what it was for?" ”

"If I say that it's just because I admire Zhang Gong, it's nonsense." Cao Shuo said: "I am an honest person, I always speak straightforwardly, and I really have something to ask for when I come to see Zhang Gong." ”

Zhang Zhao has been an official for many years, and he has long been an old fritter in the officialdom.

If Cao Shuo talked to him according to the routine, he would definitely be able to deal with it easily and send Cao Shuo away.

But this son of the Cao family didn't follow the routine that Zhang Zhao understood as soon as he came.

Cao Shuo's straightforwardness, on the contrary, made Zhang Zhao sit and stand.

"Is Childe here for the 100,000 hanging military expenses?" Cao Shuo didn't beat around the bush, and Zhang Zhao simply picked up the words clearly. (To be continued.)
