The captive just wanted to survive, and no matter what Sun Ce said, he responded to it. Sun Fu was a little confused. Others didn't know it, but he knew it best. Sun Jian entered Luoyang, and he had been by his side and never met Zhang Wen. When did Sun Ce hear it? Since he was about to raise an army, Sun Ce moved his family away from Changsha and was not with Sun Jian at all. Where did he hear the news?

He ordered people to take the prisoners, and Sun Fu pulled Sun Ce aside and asked quietly: "Bofu, when did you hear your uncle say?"

"What did you say?" Sun Ce was confused.

"It's about getting married to the Cai family."

"Ah, this one." Sun Ce laughed and shook his hand. "I made it up."

Sun Fu was a little down at the time. After a moment, he said anxiously: "If you don't have this, why are you talking nonsense? Caizhou was difficult to fight. Now you still told Cai Mao that you were going to Caizhou. He must bring people back. How can we fight?"

Sun Ce looked at Sun Fu for a moment, and he felt a little sympathetic. No wonder this guy secretly contacted Cao Cao and was caught by Sun Quan. This IQ was a flaw. It seemed that Sun Ben did not take good care of him enough, and he only grew a body and had no brains.

"Guoyi, don't worry, if Cai Mao comes back with his men, we will give up attacking Cai Zhou."

"really?"

"How can you just joke around like this?" Sun Ce smiled, stretched out his hand and put his arms around Sun Fu's shoulders, and walked forward slowly. "Everything must be prepared. I decided, you stay in Yuliangzhou, and I go to Caizhou, and you can just pick up two hundred people for me. If Cai Mao comes back, I will give up. If Cai Mao does not come back, you will bring the rest of the people to Caizhou and cooperate with my attack. Guoyi, the Cai family is a big family in Xiangyang, and it is very rich. Taking the Cai family is equivalent to removing one of Liu Biao's arm, which is very meaningful. This is my first battle, and it is also the first battle for you to lead troops independently. We not only have to fight, but also fight beautifully. What do you think?"

Sun Fu rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, and nodded vigorously. Sun Ce didn't want this to happen for the second time when he was so anxious to form his own personal guard camp. He was really a little scared.

With Sun Fu's approval, Sun Ce summoned Huang Zhong and Zu Mao to discuss it again. He changed the plan a little. He originally planned to attack at night, but now it is changed to attack during the day. Sneak attack overnight seems to be very satisfying, but it is very difficult to implement, especially in an unfamiliar environment. Attack during the day can avoid accidents as much as possible.

Sun Ce proposed the plan, Zu Mao and Sun Fu added details, Huang Zhong provided suggestions, and the four of them studied together in the middle of the night and took action separately. Sun Fu picked up a song of 200 people and handed it to Sun Ce. He was worried that Sun Ce would be in danger and dared to be careless at all. These 200 people were all very carefully selected experts.

Sun Ce handed over the two hundred people to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong said nothing, and pulled the lord of the fake military marquis, two hundred generals and four treasury leaders to talk. What he said, Sun Ce didn't hear anything, but heard a few ping-bang sounds in the distance, mixed with a few screams of exclamation. They came back, and the eight people were completely arrogant, and they held their breath and looked at Huang Zhong with respect and fear. Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that Huang Zhong only had martial arts, no means, and could not control his subordinates. If he could only fight alone, his powerful actions would be limited.

The attack just now shows this.

Zu Mao was with Sun Ce and said nothing, but when Huang Zhong came back, he took the initiative to hand over a bowl of hot water.

——

The next morning, after breakfast, Sun Ce asked someone to bring the prisoner over and gave him a bowl of porridge. The prisoner was frozen and hungry, and he took the bowl of porridge and poured it into his mouth, not afraid of being hot.

"Okay, you can go back to Xiangyang City and bring my words to Liu Biao and Cai Mao."

"Here, here." The captive agreed repeatedly and went there as if he was flying.

After the captives passed the Mianshui River, Sun Ce said to Huang Zhong and Zu Mao: "Whether it can be successful depends on you."

Huang Zhong bowed his hand and said nothing. Zu Mao seemed very relaxed, shrugged his shoulders casually, and waved his hand to ask someone to bring two sets of armor. One set was given to Huang Zhong and the other set to Sun Ce. Sun Ce already had a set of fine fish scale armor, which would be a little tight when worn again, and it was very heavy.

"Is this necessary?"

"Yes." Zu Mao said without saying anything. "No matter how good you are, there will be dangers on the battlefield. Huang Hansheng also said that the Cai family has a strong crossbow that can penetrate armor within a hundred steps. I don't want you to shoot you to death because of any unobstructed guy. Major General, the general started from scratch and had to fight to the death. You are different now and shouldn't take such risks."

After Zu Mao said that, he patted Sun Ce on the shoulder. "You are the general's eldest son. If you live, we have confidence."

Sun Ce didn't understand it for a while, but he didn't persist. To be honest, he was a little scared for the first time when he went on battle. It was not a bad thing to wear an extra set of iron armor. This was not a bad thing. Fortunately, his body was very strong and clumsy, and he was not as clumsy as he could not walk. However, his waist circumference increased, and the long knife inserted into his belt was a little awkward. He simply pulled out the long knife and held it in his hand.

It seems that the sword's pendant method needs to be reformed. Sun Ce patted his waist a little thicker and thought to himself.

Climbing the raft and going down the river, Sun Ce brought Huang Zhong, Zu Mao and others to Caizhou. As soon as he got ashore, someone came over before he could stand firm. The leader was a middle-aged man, thin and dressed in plain brocade clothes, shining in the rising sun, low-key and luxurious. He bowed and greeted him with a smile.

"In Xia Cai Ji, I am appointed as the manager of the Cai family. I am ordered by the head of the family. I dare to ask the general for his honorary name and why he came to Caizhou?"

Sun Ce was behind his back with his hands on his back. He looked so bloated that he could not hold his hands on his back, so he had to grab the scabbard. However, as a result, his belly was a little more powerful. He glanced at the two warriors standing far behind Cai Ji, and then looked at the shaking figures on the corner of the Cai family manor in the distance. His heartbeat accelerated a little. The experience of being covered in blood last night surged into his heart again.

"Sun Ce from Wujun came to discuss marriage with the Cai family and borrowed some food at the order of his father to challenge the general."

Sun Ce said with a smile, lowered his head and wiped off a blood mark on his breastplate. Although Youyi Cheng had wiped it, it still didn't wipe it completely. Cai Ji looked at his hand, and his pupils suddenly shrank, and a hint of uneasiness appeared in the originally calm momentum.

"Marriage? What kind of marriage?"

"Not long ago, my father attacked Luoyang and met the former Grand Marshal Zhang Gong. He said that the Cai family also had a daughter who was not young and was widowed at home and wanted to marry my Sun family."

Sun Ce frowned and looked unhappy. Cai Ji felt even more uneasy. He was just a manager, so he didn't know what the head of the family discussed with Sun Jian. This matter sounded a bit unexpected, but it was not outrageous. Zhang Wen was Cai Mao's uncle, from Rang County, Nanyang, and Sun Jian was Zhang Wen's old official. If it were normal, Zhang Wen would never have made such a proposal. But now in a chaotic era, Sun Jian was a prince with heavy troops. For the sake of the safety of the Zhang family and the Cai family, it was not impossible for Zhang Wen to marry Sun Jian. It could even be said to be a wise choice. Cai Mao wanted to marry Liu Biao for the same consideration. Cai Mao supported Liu Biao for the same reason. It was not possible for Zhang Wen to know at that time that Sun Jian was going to attack Xiangyang and wanted to marry the Cai family. He not only got the support of the Cai family, but also got the relationship between Cai Mao and Liu Biao, killing two birds with one stone.

After thinking this out, Cai Ji smiled even more enthusiastically. "Will the general come to Nacai or Nazheng?" He deliberately stretched out his head and looked behind Sun Ce. "I didn't see the betrothal gift."
