After the deal was reached, Zhu Xin personally wrote down the recipes, and even the subsequent ones, of course, not all the pastries, and sent them directly to Yuan Shu.

"Truthful, truthful!" In the afternoon of the next day, when he was about to set off on the migration, Sun Ce came to Zhu Xin excitedly, "It's amazing, it's amazing, Yuan Shu seems to have changed as if he has changed!" ”

"What's going on?" Zhu Xin asked curiously.

In fact, he probably knew what was going on, but in the face of Sun Ce, who wanted to share the joy in his heart with him, he couldn't understand too much at this time. It's like the old saying, it's hard to get confused.

"Yuan Shu's attitude today has become much better!" Sun Ce had a 'disbelievable' expression, "It seems that he has changed people, and he actually took the initiative to show favor to me." And, and ......"

"Don't rush, speak slowly." Zhu Xin said slowly while comforting her.

"Although I don't say it, I will return my father's old ministry directly, but she is willing to pay my 5,000 soldiers and horses!" Sun Ce said excitedly, which means that there is no need to worry about the food and salary of the extra 4,000 soldiers and horses.

It also means that the income of the store opened by Zhu Xin during this period can continue to be stored in the small treasury. Or to expand the size of the score store.

"Well, this crusade against Lu Kang, as long as it can be successful, may be able to bring the old department back. Even if you don't come back, it's nothing, just replace the core officers. Zhu Xin nodded.

"That's not good, those are my father's old department, I have to find a way to get them out!" Sun Ce is a little stubborn, maybe this army carries his memories of his father, right?

It's just that Sun Ce also knows that it may not be so easy to get Yuan Shu to give up this army. He could only look at Zhu Xin and asked, "But truthfully, is there any way to get my father's old ministry back?" ”

"There is a way, but first of all, let's solve the matter of Lujiang first......" Zhu Xin subconsciously thought of the heirloom jade seal, but that thing was not in Sun Ce's hands, and he had to ask to know.

Anyway, it's useless to take it, and it's even hot, so it's not bad to exchange Yuan Shu for those thousands of old departments. Besides, isn't it because Yuan Shu is the emperor that Sun Ce has an excuse to officially break away from her command?

Especially now that she has 5,000 soldiers and horses, Yuan Shu has promised to pay food, which means that she is out of the category of 'private soldiers'. The advantage is that Sun Ce does not need to have a headache about food and salary, and the side effect is that there is no suitable excuse to take this army away.

It is morally unjustifiable, and it will have a negative impact on Sun Ce's reputation.

After a pause, he simply changed the subject: "Is Ma Riyan willing to write letters?" ”

"Well, I've written two letters as requested." Sun Ce hurriedly said, "One of the letters that was really written to Lu Kang, I hid it in advance. The one who wrote to Yuan Shu, when she said goodbye to Ma Riyan, she took the initiative to find Yuan Shu and presented the letter, and it was at this time that her attitude changed. ”

probably felt that Sun Ce was really obedient, and his vigilance began to decline. Coupled with the fact that the estrangement has been lifted, the initial trust should have been established. In other words, if Lujiang can be defeated, with a certain probability, will Sun Ce really be appointed as the Taishou of Lujiang?

It's just that there is no point in being a Lujiang Taishou, if you want to be a Danyang Taishou!

"By the way, Yuan Shu also told me one thing!" Sun Ce suddenly remembered something, "It is said that before Ma Riyan came over, it seems that he contacted the clan relative Liu Xuan and appointed him as the assassin of Yangzhou." It's just that at this time, Shouchun was already Yuan Shu's territory, and after Chen Wen was defeated, Liu Miao seemed to have gone to Danyang. ”

"Danyang Taishou is your uncle, and Danyang Governor Sun Ben is your cousin, if Liu Miao wants to gain a foothold in Danyang, it is almost impossible, unless the two of them help." Zhu Xin teased.

Except for Liu Xuan, who is a member of the Han family, he does not have any military power at all. In this world, it's really a shame that he dares to take over the position of Yangzhou assassin, Chen Wen's fate, doesn't he know?

"Yes, Yuan Shu just told me about it." Sun Ce sighed, "Uncle and cousin received him and escorted him to Qu'a. Wu Jun is too conservative and has openly supported Liu Xuan, and Wu County and Huiji County are already Liu Xuan's territory. ”

"Yuan Shu didn't blame you for this, did he?" Zhu Xin was a little worried.

"No, but I still complained, saying that my uncle and cousin should let Liu Miao stay in Danyang forever." Sun Ce sighed, and then looked at Zhu Xin, "Uncle and cousin, did you do something wrong?" ”

"Not really, they did it right." Zhu Xin comforted, "It is precisely because Liu Miao divided Wu County and Huiji County that it became the climate. If Yuanshu's crusade fails, then there is a high probability that we will crusade in the end. In this way, we will have an excuse to conquer the four counties of Jiangdong, and then use these four counties as the basis for dividing the territory! ”

After a pause, he said: "But Liu Xuan's appointment along the way can be regarded as thrilling." For him, Yuan Shu is already the biggest obstacle and enemy in the history of Yangzhou Assassin. It is impossible for him to allow Danyang County to get out of his control, so there is a high probability that he will drive Wu Jing and Sun Ben away. ”

"How can it be so excessive?" Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this, if it wasn't for the help of the two, Liu Miao couldn't even take office safely, but after taking office, he expelled the two people who were kind to him, which was a bit excessive.

"The current way of the world is like this, nominally under the rule of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, it is the division of the princes. Liu Miao was originally just idle at home, and everything had nothing to do with him. Since he came forward to become a prince, then only in this way can he ensure his own safety. Zhu Xin shook his head, Danyang County is in the hands of Yuan Shu, and whoever is replaced by this Yangzhou assassin will probably have a sense of precariousness.

After a pause, he continued: "It will take about two or three months, and you will probably receive the news. At that time, Yuan Shu would inevitably be annoyed and sent two people to attack Liu Xuan. As long as the front-line battle fails, our side just shoots the Lujiang River, and we can take over the task of crusading against Liu Xuan. ”

"Truth be told, you say, was this planned by my uncle and cousin?" When Sun Ce heard this, he first thought of this possibility. After all, the results of Zhu Xin's analysis, all this is too likely.

It was as if it had been arranged early in the morning, waiting for her to clean up the mess.

"No matter what the truth is, at least it proves that everyone has pinned their hopes on you." Zhu Xin said with a smile.

"It's just that it's so uncomfortable to constantly bear the high expectations of others, and my shoulders are so heavy." Sun Ce said coquettishly.

"Don't worry, I will take on this heavy responsibility with you." Zhu Xin hugged her, his small belly, and Sun Ce's protrusion point, just fit perfectly up and down, and the two were close and seamless.

"Then again...... But to be honest, you haven't gotten fat during this time......" After hugging for a while, Sun Ce complained.

Zhu Xin was speechless for a moment, is it really good to say this kind of thing in this atmosphere at this time?
