Chapter 743
After hearing Yang Xiu's offer, Wang Zhen hesitated.
He did not suspect that Sun Ce was lying to him. He was a county magistrate and was not unfamiliar with prices. Only Wu City could accommodate so many goods. Apart from that, no county market could have such purchasing power. But the problem was that he could not watch Sun Ce go to Wu County. It was easy to ask for a god but difficult to send him to the god. If Sun Ce did not leave, his trouble would be great.
But he couldn't say it clearly. Sun Ce had already got angry just now. If he refused now, Sun Ce might go to Wuxian now in anger. After thinking about it, he used a delaying plan and said that he would discuss with the Xu family that the Xu family had great business and might be able to solve part of it, so he would not need to send it to Wuxian. Jiang Gan was easy to speak and agreed. He also said that as long as Wang Zhen could help deal with part of it, Sun Ce would not be anxious if he had cash in hand. The remaining goods were either left in Wuxian or brought to Kuaiji, it would not be a big problem.
Wang Zhen felt relieved and did not dare to neglect, so he immediately went ashore to rush to the Xu family.
Xu Chun was disappointed and returned home. When he saw the servants who were preparing for the banquet, the fire burned even more vigorously and was furious. The Xu family is one of the most aristocratic families in Wu County. Yangxian is a famous first family. Unexpectedly, he was humiliated by a melon seller today. He kindly ran to see him, thinking about the friendship between the land and the good relationship, but he was turned away and didn't even see him.
It is tolerant, but who is tolerant?
However, Sun Ce is not a kind person. Xu Chun has heard some news. Not long ago, he heard Wang Zhen say something. He also saw Sun Ce's fleet and thousands of subordinates with his own eyes. He knew that this was not an ordinary person, or even an ordinary official, and he was a general with heavy troops. If he was against him, he might bleed at any time, and even the entire Yangxian Xu family would be uprooted.
Sun Ce has done a lot of such things in Nanyang and Runan.
After thinking about it, Xu Chun couldn't find a way to deal with Sun Ce for a moment. He was annoyed. Wang Zhen rushed over. Seeing that Wang Zhen was sweating, Xu Chun was very surprised. When Wang Zhen told the story, he immediately felt moved. The Xu family could not deal with Sun Ce. Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, could do it. Anyway, they would have to fight sooner or later, so it would be better to take advantage of the moment. With Xu Gong's support, Sun Ce would have no advantage.
"Minister of the County, Sun Ce is not going to do business, is he going to blackmail?" Xu Chun deliberately reminded.
Wang Zhen was not sure. Sun Ce was arrogant, but Jiang Gan was not aggressive and reasonable. Maybe Sun Ce really just wanted to deal with the goods and exchange them for cash. After all, he had so many people to raise, and he had to spend money when he arrived in Kuaiji, and those things could not be eaten or worn. Sun Ce was a warrior, and he was inevitably rude and rude. If he caused a war because of this, it would be obviously not a wise move. The most urgent task was to accept some of the goods and send Sun Ce safely out of Wujun. No matter how bad it was, it would be delayed for a while to give him the opportunity to notify Xu Gong to prepare.
"Xu Jun, you can't say that. General Sun is from Wujun after all. When a young man is successful, he is inevitably arrogant and arrogant. But I looked at it and found that the goods he brought were indeed good. If he could collect some of them and then send them to Wu for sale, it would be profitable."
Seeing Wang Zhen staring at him, Xu Chun immediately understood what Wang Zhen meant. He was not worried about losing money - he was helping Wang Zhen, how could Wang Zhen let him suffer - but he didn't want to help Sun Ce, so he felt uncomfortable if he didn't vomit out that anger.
"Mr. Princess, he collected those goods before the New Year. Now it is after the New Year. It is almost the Spring Festival. How can he still calculate the price before the New Year? He is clearly blackmailing. Besides, you know how these goods came from, maybe he stole them. Wouldn't we help him sell stolen goods? If someone recognizes them in Wu City, the Princess' reputation will be destroyed, and even Xu Fujun will not escape."
Wang Zhen heard Xu Chun's resentment, thought for a moment, and asked back: "What's the clever plan for Mr. Xu?"
Xu Chun looked at Wang Zhen with a smile. "Mr. Prince, I took the initiative to ask, Xu Fujun did not come to welcome him, did Sun Ce say anything?"
"I asked, but I didn't care too much."
"The prefect passes through the border and is from Wujun. Xu Fujun doesn't come to welcome him. To be honest, this is a bit unreasonable. You and I know who Sun Ce is. He is not a gentle, respectful and frugal gentleman. He says he doesn't care, but he is afraid that he is already hated to the core and doesn't know how to take revenge. The Sun family father and son are warriors, and they have soldiers in their hands. Killing people is not a great thing for them. The county magistrate is not worried that he says it's okay and draws his sword behind his back?"
Wang Zhen felt nervous. What he was most worried about now was this, and he was even more uneasy when he was sowed by Xu Chun.
"Please give me some advice."
Xu Chun refused in a modest way, and when Wang Zhen was so anxious that he was sweating, he said, "Sun Ce relied on his men and horses, including steps, cavalry, and navy. Even in Wuxian, he had the chance to conquer. But if he entered the mountain, what's the use of these thousands of people?"
Wang Zhen looked at Xu Chun and suddenly realized. Xu Chun was not giving him an idea. He was obviously angry at Sun Ce's rudeness and wanted to take revenge on Sun Ce, but wanted to get Xu Gong as a backing. He quickly weighed the pros and conscientiously felt that this method was available. Xu Chun wanted to use him, but he also wanted to use Xu Chun. When the two tigers fought, there would be one injury. Xu Chun and Sun Ce had a conflict, and Xu Gong was the one who benefited. Xu Gong and Sun Ce were enemies. What he needed now was time. If Xu Chun could restrain Sun Ce and consume Sun Ce's strength, Xu Gong would naturally be happy to see it.
"How can we get Sun Ce into the mountain?"
Xu Chun laughed silently, got up and walked over, whispered a few times in Wang Zhen's ear. Wang Zhen understood it and nodded repeatedly. The two laughed and held each other's hand and shook it hard. Wang Zhen immediately rushed back to the dock, and Xu Chun sent someone into the mountain to contact the bandits.
Wang Zhen asked to see Sun Ce again and greeted Sun Ce on behalf of Xu Chun. As the leader of Yangxian, Xu Chun learned that the heroes of the same county passed by and tried all the friendship of the landlords, so he invited Sun Ce to the Xu family to attend a banquet and discussed the transaction at the same time. Xu Chun intended to accept part of the goods, and the price could be negotiated, so that Sun Ce would never suffer any loss.
Sun Ce agreed happily and said that he had negligence and negligence before, and was not his original intention. He was willing to decide to accept Xu Chun's invitation and explain to Xu Chun in person. Wang Zhen rushed to the Xu family again to inform Xu Chun of the relevant situation and let him make relevant preparations.
Halfway through, he met someone sent by Xu Gong. When he learned that Xu Gong asked him to stop Shen You and avoid a conflict with Sun Ce, he became more and more determined to join forces with Xu Chun. Once Sun Ce enters the mountain to conquer the sects, it will not be resolved in a few days. Maybe it will take a year or two, which is enough for Xu Gong to prepare.
Wang Zhen ran back and forth twice, and everything was agreed. Sun Ce took Yi from the infantry and cavalry to land on the shore and rushed to the Xu family, Guo Jia and others. Shen You was injured and stayed on the boat to assist Guo Tun and Yang Xiu to stay in the fleet.
