Chapter 753: A Warm Invitation
"Hahaha. The head of the Cai family was gracious, how dare Sun Ce postpone it. Sun Ce laughed. He wished he could stay with Cai Mao for a while.
Cai Mao sneered in her heart and walked out with Sun Ce.
The two left the post station by car and came to Cai's house.
"Lord, we have a firm grip on this place, you can rest assured, it's safe." The guard whispered to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce nodded, and then got out of the carriage.
Cai Mao was already waiting at the door. After seeing Sun Ce, he greeted him with a smile on his face, and arched his hand and said, "General Sun, please." ”
"Master Cai, please!" Sun Ce replied.
"In that case, then let's ask General Sun to rest. I took my leave under it. Cai Mao smiled slightly, turned around and left.
"Oh?" Sun Ce pretended to think for a while, and then said: "Don't hide it from the master of the family, it is indeed a good amount of wine in the next place." But today is not the time to drink. Let's do it another day. ”
Although Sun Ce is young, he is a veteran of the battlefield after all. He saw Cai Mao's purpose, so he immediately used the agitation method.
Sun Ce looked at Cai Mao's back as he left, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.
And this requires a huge base, troops.
"Actually, when I came down, in addition to bringing wine and delicacies to General Sun, it was more important to talk to General Sun about something." Cai Mao said.
"Since General Sun said so, then let's stop drinking." Cai Mao still had a smile on her face.
"As for Yuan Shu? Hmph, he's too busy to take care of himself now, where does he have the time to pay attention to these people? ”
The number of troops under Sun Ce's command is only about 50,000, which is a drop in the bucket in the face of those big families, far from enough.
"Don't worry, that Cai Mao didn't dare to pass on the news.
The two walked into Cai's mansion together.
But I didn't expect it to be so easy to be recognized.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's inferences were not wrong. Cai Mao was indeed inquiring about Sun Ce's news.
It's just that the situation is tense now, and the general still has to take risks, which is really worrying.
"Hang him first." Sun Ce said.
"No!" Cai Mao promised, and then said goodbye and left.
Sun Ce's reasons for refusing were sufficient.
Fortunately, I was able to avoid this catastrophe thanks to my cleverness. Otherwise, even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will definitely become the target of others' attacks.
"Hmph."
This kind of thing is still too tender.
At the same time, they are also looking for other allies.
No wonder Cai Mao didn't bring his entourage here, it turned out that he felt that he had already eaten himself.
If they find out, then the general is in danger. Zhou Yu advised.
"Head of the house, please speak." Sun Ce sneered in his heart. This thing really has bad intentions.
I also ask the head of the Cai family to give some grace. When I recuperate, I will personally lead my army north. ”
"General Sun is relieved. My Cai family has been loyal and good for generations, how can I do something treacherous? Cai Mao endured the disgust in her heart and said with a smile.
I hope that General Sun can ensure the safety of the Xiangyang family. Cai Mao went straight to the point.
There are dozens of counties in Koto County, each with its own sphere of influence.
Cai Mao said with a smile: "I heard that the general likes to drink, and my father has very little wine. Please also ask the general to give advice. ”
"Aged bamboo leaf green." Cai Mao said with a deep groan.
"Then I don't know why the head of the family is here?" Sun Ce asked again.
If Sun Ce wanted to unify the whole of Jiangdong, he had to conquer these places and bring all the officials under his command.
Come to the hall and sit down.
That's why Sun Ce chose to cooperate with the family.
This kind of pediatric trick also wants to deceive me?
However, Sun Ce's heart was still full of emotion.
After finishing speaking, Cai Mao waved her hand to let the maid stand down.
Sun Ce shook his head, stopped thinking about the problem, returned to the room, and lay down to rest.
Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Sun Ce's words. He was most worried that Sun Ce would take the opportunity to rebel, or put forward some excessive conditions, which would be troublesome
。 Now that Sun Ce said that he would send troops, that would be in line with the rules.
"I don't know what kind of wine the head of the Cai family likes to drink?" Sun Ce asked.
"Childe is wise." Cai Mao complimented.
"General Sun should know that Jingzhou is complicated, and our family members also have their own interests.
Sun Ce suddenly understood.
Sun Ce's eyes lit up.
But if the head of the Cai family has bad intentions, Sun Ce will not sit idly by. Sun Ce sneered.
"My subordinates understood." Zhou Yu sighed, thinking that his general had not changed after all.
"Childe, that Sun Ce didn't agree at all."
"Okay, don't worry about that Sun Ce for now, let's contact Liu Bei as soon as possible." Cao Ang waved his hand and said.
Sun Ce originally thought that he had been doing well in Xiangyang during this time, and he should be able to gain the favor of many scholars.
Sun Ce pretended to think about it: "Naturally, I am happy to be happy with the stability of the people of Xiangyang, but I am afraid that I will not be able to call the shots of the Xiangyang family." ”
As for recuperating your batteries? Cai Mao thinks it's just an excuse.
Cai Mao is not stupid, she naturally sees this situation clearly.
"I see." Zhou Yu was stunned, and then asked, "Then what does the general plan to do?" ”
Do you think those old foxes will let Cai Mao come here? Sun Ce said disdainfully: "They will only turn a blind eye for the time being."
Although Sun Ce is the Taishou of Jiangxia County, he does not control the entire Jiangdong County.
"But, what if those big families really have a secret relationship with Yuan Shu?" Zhou Yu said worriedly.
Cai Mao returned to the house and reported to Cao Angyu, who was sipping tea.
"Hmm!" Cao Ang snorted lightly, and then said lightly: "It seems that we underestimate Sun Ce too much. ”
"Hehe, the Cai family is serious." Sun Ce laughed twice, and then said, "I haven't recovered for a long time, and my body hasn't recovered yet.
"So what does General Sun mean?" Cai Mao was shocked in her heart, could it be that Sun Ce really had a rebellious heart?
"Well, it depends on the sincerity of the Cai family master? If the head of the Cai family is really thinking about the people of Xiangyang, then Sun Ce is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses.
"Then arrest them all. I'm sure those guys are more desperate than anyone else. Sun Ce sneered.
Cai Mao's cheeks twitched, of course he knew what Sun Ce meant.
I guess Cai Mao will look for me these days, just to test my attitude. ”
"General, wouldn't it be a bit risky for you to do this? Although Cai Mao is a small person, he is a child of a big family after all.
But because of Sun Ce's status, he was a little unwilling.
Sun Ce is a junior after all, why does he overpower himself?
So he was ready to co-opt the rest of the forces. It's just that he doesn't have many connections in Jiangdong, and it's very difficult.
But these don't seem to be a problem at all for Cao Ang. (End of chapter)
