Sun Ce knew very well that if he wanted to make a contribution, he must appoint people on the basis of merit, and he was very talented, otherwise Tai Shici would have already moved his head, where could he still scold here. But when he heard Tai Shici's words and climb Da Qiao, Sun Ce still couldn't help but feel a little unhappy: "I said, do you eat it or not?" But if you don't eat it, I'll give it to Amun. ”

Lu Meng is now fifteen or sixteen years old, which is the age of growing his body, and no matter how much he eats for dinner, he will be hungry again after a while. Hearing Sun Ce's words, he was very excited, and he stepped forward to take the beef away.

Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci pressed Lu Meng's hand and took back the porcelain plate: "Even if I want to die, I don't want to be a hungry ghost!" After that, he picked up the plate, swept all the beef into his mouth, and drank a jar of wine like a cow drink, he wiped his mouth fiercely, only to feel that the wine had gone up: "How can a plate of meat be enough?" Three more sets! ”

Seeing that Tai Shi Ci was also looking at death as if he were at home, Sun Ce couldn't help laughing and nodded at Huang Gai. Huang Gai gave up his hand, turned around and walked out, turned back after a while, and handed a few plates of beef to Tai Shici. Lu Meng watched Tai Shici sweep away the beef from a few dishes, not to mention the pain in his heart, but he couldn't attack, he could only look at it with his eyes and salivate.

After a while, Tai Shi Ci was full of wine and food, sat down on the ground, and said with a smile: "Eat and drink enough, there are no regrets." Alright, get me on your way. ”

Sun Ce couldn't see Tai Shi Ci like a scoundrel, and said with a sneer: "If I really want you to die, why waste my food!" That day at the foot of the White Horse Peak, my grandson Bofu saw that you talked extraordinary, not like ordinary mountain bandits, and intended to intersect, and today I treated each other with courtesy, I don't want you to be so wasteful, and I want to die! That's it, if you are willing to die, this general will give you self-determination, stay in the Yama Underworld, don't forget to tell others that you have been in the army for more than 20 years and have never brought a single soldier! ”

Sun Ce's words undoubtedly hit Tai Shici's sore spot, he woke up most of the time, his lips squirmed, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Seeing him like this, Sun Ce couldn't help but ease his emotions a little, stepped forward and sat beside him, and comforted: "Brother Ziyi, my grandson is not talented, relying on his father's inheritance, and with the help of many good generals, he has today." I know that you don't look down on me, think I'm young and immoral, and don't want to be with me. But in this world, who hasn't come all the way since he was young? If you are willing to come to my account, I will entrust you with a great responsibility, and I will never fail you, a god-given soldier, how about it? ”

Tai Shi Ci stared at Sun Ce with big bronze bell-like eyes, sounded good, and muttered: "I have been Tai Shi Ci Rong Ma for many years, and my heart only thinks of fighting for the common people in the world. Since you started to fight the army, I will know your method of leading troops, and I have never treated the people harshly when I saw you along the way. You are young, I am old, but it is not because of me that I do not want to serve your army. If I had not been a soldier this time, and I had taken refuge in you, would these generals be willing to sit with me? ”

"Then what do you mean, would you like to come?" Lu Meng was already angry, but he felt even more headache when he heard Tai Shici's words, and couldn't help shouting.

"If you believe me, you might as well let me out, I Tai Shi Ci will definitely be able to recruit Liu Xuan's old department, and at that time, I will work for you again!"

Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and the others looked at each other, and even Huang Gai, who was old and serious, couldn't help but say: "I think you are fooling a fool, right?" If you can recruit Liu Xuan's old department, it would be good if you didn't beat us, how could you vote for us? ”

Sun Ce smiled and said: "Come on, find him a horse, prepare some dry food, he can leave whenever he wants, don't look at him, and don't care about him." When he comes back in the future, just open the camp door to greet him! ”

After speaking, Sun Ce got up and walked out of the military tent, although Huang Gai and the others were suspicious, in the end, they also followed Sun Ce's instructions and did not stay after explaining the guards outside the barracks.

Tai Shi Ci didn't expect Sun Ce to really agree to his request, and after being stunned for a moment, he staggered up, opened the tent curtain, and looked at the lights of the ten-mile company camp, and thousands of thoughts suddenly appeared in his heart.

Things are changing and the stars are moving, July is a fire, August is not young, September is clothed, and it is the early winter of November in a blink of an eye. Sun Ce's department has taken firm roots in Danyang and Wu County, in order not to drag down Sun Ce's march, Mrs. Wu took Sun Quan and Shang Xiang to stay in Wu County, Sun Ce also understood his mother's thoughts, and only wanted to wait until the right time to send troops to Huiji to attack Wang Lang, so as to sweep away the elbow and armpit troubles and unify Jiangdong.

In the past few months, the soldiers have worked hard to recruit troops, and Tai Shici followed his words, bringing more than 8,000 remnants of Liu Xuan, and by the end of November, Sun Ce had more than 30,000 people under his account.

Needless to say, the time was ripe to attack Wang Lang, but Sun Ce did not move for a long time, and everyone understood that he was waiting for news from Yuan Shu in Xuzhou.

On that day, Changmu Xiu came to greet Yuan Shu. After crossing the river from Sun Ce, Yuan Shu thought that Sun Ce's chassis belonged to him, and listened to his frequent good news, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth all day long. ”

Changmu Xiu arched his hand and said: "Two days ago, General Sun sent a letter, and Fang asked the lord what he meant, thinking that the letter would not be sent back to Danyang so quickly. The lord is calm and restless, and the major general has his own opinions. ”

In the past half a year, Cao Cao and Lu Bu are in full swing, Yuan Shu is sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, happy to be idle, and he relied on Changmu Xiu's strategy to get the heirloom jade seal left by Sun Jian, and now he already knows about Sun Ce's private acceptance of Da Qiao, but he pretended not to know, and held Qiao Rui firmly in his hand as a hostage. Thinking that Sun Ce values love and righteousness, he will not care about the life or death of his old father-in-law. In this way, Yuan Shu can simply take advantage of the land of Jiangdong without a single soldier.

Yuan Shu paced in the room with his hands behind his back, and his expression was extremely content: "You are much stronger than your uncle, and you can be regarded as the first talented person under the lonely tent." However, it is not enough to just pass on the message, you still have to go to Danyang and tell Sun Bofu about Lone's will in person. ”

Changmu Xiu humbly saluted: "Thanks to the lord's false praise, I dare not be ashamed, and I think of myself as the lord's liver and brain." ”

Yuan Shu Thief laughed a few times, and looked at Changmu Xiu: "Boy, you are so dedicated, I always want to reward you with something." But you are still young, and it is not appropriate to ask for a high-ranking official for you, what you want, just tell Lone, and Lone will definitely make decisions for you. ”

"Do things for the Lord, don't think about anything else, don't dare to receive."

"Okay", Yuan Shu deliberately lengthened his tone, "Originally, I heard that you like the little girl of Qiao Rui's family and want to help you Yucheng do this, since you don't want to, then just leave it......"

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, a trace of ecstasy flashed on Changmu Xiu's always calm handsome face, and he immediately leaned over and bowed: "Thank you, lord!" ”
