Yuan Shu showed a very embarrassed expression, and then sighed, "Don't be angry, although your uncle can't give you people directly, he won't treat you badly, if you can lead the troops and make great contributions, your uncle will let you be the Taishou of Jiujiang, and you can also become a prestigious person like your father in the future, and your uncle can also hand over all the old departments left by your father to you." ”

Hearing this, Sun Ce also knew that no matter what he said at this time, it was impossible for Yuan Shu to hand over everyone to him, let alone let him lead his troops away, only to obey his arrangement, win those rebellious ministers and thieves first, and maybe let Yuan Shu see his true strength and become the Taishou of Jiujiang.

Later, Sun Ce agreed with his opinion and re-led his troops to the battle.

When he succeeded again and came back, he heard that Yuan Shu had given the position of Jiujiang Taishou to his henchman Chen Ji, and all he could get in exchange for was to make a wedding dress for others.

The people around Sun Ce were angry and wanted to go to Yuan Shu to ask about it, but they were stopped by Sun Ce.

"Lord, he is obviously bullying you when you are young and ignorant, and after making a promise, he obviously wants to use the lord's ability to support his own people."

Sun Ce, who naturally knows this meaning, also knows the unwillingness of his subordinates, but what can he do, his mother is old at this time, and his younger siblings are young, if he offends Yuan Shu, he doesn't know how to live in the future, plus he is young now, and many things can't be decided by himself.

Half of his father's old ministry is still in Yuan Shu's hands, and he is in trouble with him at this time, but it is just a fish dead net, and he can't get any benefits, he must find a way, settle his mother and younger siblings first, and find a way to get out of here.

After all, there are some things, once there will be a second time, a person who does not keep his promises, and there will be no changes in the future.

Sun Ce took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his heart as much as possible, and said calmly, "Uncle, this may be testing me, this matter must not be made public, after I successfully get my uncle's approval, I will definitely get a better position." ”

Although the henchmen are angry in their hearts, but in the face of the lord's words, he also knows that there are some things, they just have to complain themselves, and they must not speak out, if they bring trouble to the lord, then they will be implicated.

When he learned that Sun Ce didn't have any reaction, Yuan Shu was happy in his heart, and his face was full of spring, "It's still sensible, I was worried that he would make trouble because of this, but I didn't expect to be so calm, and it really impressed the old man." ”

Yuan Shu's henchmen couldn't help frowning when they heard this, "Lord, this Sun Ce is his son no matter what, since you promised him and repented again, will he have two hearts, after all, his reputation at this time is much higher than before, if those people make a fuss, I am worried that he will make trouble." ”

Yuan Shu sneered disdainfully, "It's just a yellow-haired boy, making some achievements is like becoming like his father, I'm afraid it's still far away, if he wants to make trouble, as early as when he heard the news, he has already made a resistance, instead of hiding quietly, he obviously doesn't dare to do it at will." ”

The confidant asked puzzledly, "But my lord, don't dare at this time, it doesn't mean that you won't dare in the future, should we take precautions." ”

Yuan Shu swept his eyes coldly, and warned solemnly, "The old man has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, will he still be afraid of him as a yellow-haired boy, and since he chooses to be quiet, he will not make trouble, plus his mother, younger brothers and sisters are young, do you think he dares to go against the old man." ”

Originally, he was worried that Sun Ce would be dissatisfied after this incident and find a reason to resist, but he didn't expect that the lord had already thought of a countermeasure, and his henchman hurriedly said, "The lord is still wise and knows where his weakness is." ”

"Hehe......" Yuan Shu sneered a few times, and said indifferently, "In a few days, we will go to attack Xuzhou, and you will go with the old man to Lujiang Taishou to borrow some grain and grass to deal with the next battle." ”

"Yes!" The henchman hurriedly agreed.

Two days later, Yuan Shu, who had worked hard to come to Lujiang, went to see Lu Kang in person.

Lu Kang, who was full of smiles, saw Yuan Shu coming, his face changed slightly, but he still said with a smile, "What kind of wind blew Lord Yuan here, and I didn't tell you in advance, so I can ask my subordinates to prepare meals to welcome Lord Yuan's arrival." ”

Yuan Shu was very satisfied with his attitude, and bluntly stated the purpose of his visit, "Lu Taishou doesn't have to be polite, I came today to borrow some grain and grass from Taishou, so as to prepare for the battle in a few days, and I hope that Taishou can borrow more." ”

Hearing this, Lu Kang showed an embarrassed expression, "Lord Yuan doesn't know the difficulties of Ben Taishou, although this Lujiang is a good place, and there is a lot of grain and grass, but unfortunately this successive wars, many people have been displaced, and there is no mood to plant at all, plus so many people need to eat, and I don't have much food to borrow in this Lujiang City, or Lord Yuan should find another way, or find someone else to try." ”

Yuan Shu, who was rejected like this for the first time, was furious, but he had to smile, "Lu Taishou is polite, this huge Lujiang River, but the gentle township of the rich, can't even borrow a dozen stones of grain, or Lu Taishou doesn't want to borrow it when he sees me coming." ”

Lu Kang sighed helplessly, "How can there be that kind of thought, Lord Yuan really doesn't know the suffering of the people, in this chaos, grain and grass are precious things, we have nothing to do except protect ourselves, so we can't lend it to Lord Yuan." ”

Yuan Shu also knew that if he stayed any longer, he had no choice but to hold back his anger and show a smile, "Since Lu Taishou has no other way, then I'll go to another place to take a look." ”

As Yuan Shu left, Lu Kang snorted disdainfully, "Isn't it just that I took advantage of the opportunity to become a hero in the eyes of others, and these rats still want to borrow food in front of Ben Taishou, I really think that I have a big face." ”

When the subordinate heard this, he frowned worriedly and said, "Lord Taishou, is what you did wrong this time, after all, Yuan Shu is in the limelight now, if you offend him, won't it affect the people of Lujiang." ”

Lu Kang turned his head and glared at him, "Hmph, isn't it just a villain who took the opportunity, what other ability does he have to make a move on Ben Taishou, do you think that those people we raise are all waste?" ”

"The subordinates dare not ......" The subordinates hurriedly admitted their mistakes, and then explained, "Although Yuan Shu is not a brave person, but he recently got his son Sun Ce for some reason, he is much braver than his father, although he is young, but his ability is not small, his subordinates are worried that Yuan Shu will let him come over to attack us, and we will be a little embarrassed at that time." ”

Lu Kang, who originally didn't plan to take Yuan Shu seriously, heard this, his face became a little solemn, but thinking that Sun Ce was just a teenager, he instantly relaxed, "It's just a hairy boy, why be afraid." ”
