"Enlarge a little, zoom a little more." Guo Ting pressed the knife and walked back and forth on Feilu, shouting and cursing. "You wastes, you can't even set a fire well. Practice less often. Put more grass, the fire will be smaller and the general won't see it."

Shen You sat in a wheelchair and looked at Guo Ting complaining, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. He was so happy just now that he accidentally pulled the wound, and it hurts when he moved. The wound was hot, as if blood was flowing out, and he quietly pressed it with his hands.

Guo Ting's eyes were sharp and clearly seen, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, don't move while sitting. Just a few thieves can't make any waves. I've arranged all of them, and none of them can escape."

Shen You nodded with a smile. He did not doubt this, and he also made contributions to arranging ambush. He just didn't expect that the soldiers of the Kaiwei Battalion were so trained and had such high efficiency. Those bandits pretending to be ordinary people to set fire were knocked down as soon as they approached the boat. They were so neat that the people who were watching the lanterns on the shore did not notice any abnormalities. It was not until the fire broke out on the boat that the people realized something had happened and exclaimed loudly.

No one knew that there was nothing on the ships, only a ship of dry firewood and dry grass. The goods on the ships were transferred, and most of them were taken to the Xu family by Sun Ce, and the rest were scattered on other ships. The ships were kept for burning and sufficient fuel was prepared. In order to burn more vigorously, Sun Ce in the distance could see them, and pour some oil on them.

The bandits who boarded the boat were caught and the fire started to burn. The rest depends on how Sun Ce performed.

Wang Zhen and Xu Chun also wanted to frame Sun Ce, but they didn't know where they got their confidence. With Sun Ce's identity, even Xu Gong might not be qualified to be an opponent. These two fools actually hit the door head-on, and they really didn't know whether to live or die. They must not know that this bureau had been rolled out long before Sun Ce met Wang Zhen. The detailed works led by Jiao Zhongqing were scattered inside and outside Yangxian City. The Xu family and Wang Zhen's every move was under Sun Ce's control. Xu Min came back from the mountain and had not arrived at home. Sun Ce knew it.

Fortunately, I didn't go to the prefect's office to work, otherwise I would have worked hard for Xu Gong with Wang Zhen, and it would have been a pleasant thing to be an opponent with Guo Jia.

It is important to choose the ruler in the world and choose the minister in the troubled times. It is very important to choose the kind of person to follow. Shen You let out a sigh of relief and was extremely happy. This first step is right, and what future is there? You are still worried about? You can pick it up!

Shen You coughed: "Personnel Guo, it's time to send someone to deliver a letter to the general. After a long time, it's not like it."

Guo Ting responded. "I understand, I'll make arrangements now."

——

"Maybe the lights are turned off and the water is gone." Xu Chun said seriously: "The sky is dry and the things are dry, and the common people are not careful. It is common for burning wildfires. But it doesn't matter. Yangxian has a lot of water, and the county has arranged for guarding people, so it is not difficult to put out the fire."

"Is that true?" Sun Ce was skeptical, stretched his neck, stood on tiptoe, looked for a while, restless. "Mr. Xu, it's not right, why is it like the direction of my camp? It's not that my baggage camp caught fire, right?"

Xu Chun laughed. "The general is so good at joking. Who doesn't know how you have a strict and conscientious army management? How could such an accident happen? Unless the bandits in Tongguan Mountain move in full swing and break into the general's camp to set fire, it is impossible."

"No, no, no, it's better to be careful. I still have a lot of cargo on the ship."

Sun Ce's face changed. Xu Chun saw it and became happier. While praising Sun Ce's good governance of the army, he asserted that there would be no problem. Sun Ce misread it, and while calmly ignorantly, he led the topic to the bandits in Tongguan Mountain. Sun Ce was speechless and looked like he wanted to go downstairs but was embarrassed to think that he was incompetent in governing the army. He was hesitant, which made Xu Chun happy.

Just here, a soldier hurried up, walked quickly to Sun Ce, and whispered a few times in Sun Ce's ear. Sun Ce's face sank, his eyes as sharp as a blade. Xu Chun's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly he felt an ominous feeling. He hurriedly bowed.

"General, what's wrong?"

Sun Ce's eyes rolled, and he didn't talk to Xu Chun, but made a gesture to Guo Wu. Guo Wu understood and walked to the corner and clapped his palms. The Yisongs in the alleys on both sides heard the sound and shouted loudly. Some of them rushed into the main courtyard. Thousands of troops broke out of the sheath, and the cold light shone. The originally lively and peaceful Xu family was immediately filled with murderous aura. The talented and beautiful people who were guessing riddles were stunned, not knowing what had happened. Yang Xiu, and others knew it, quickly withdrew from the crowd and took their place.

When Xu Chun saw this, his heart beat like a drum. While wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he forced a smile and said, "What does General mean?"

Sun Ce tilted his mouth, looked at Xu Chun coldly, turned around and walked to the railing, clapping his hands. When everyone's eyes were focused on him, he said loudly: "Everyone, I'm sorry, disturbing your kindness. Thanks to Mr. Xu's affection, I invited me to attend the lantern festival. I am very grateful. I wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Yangxian and other wise men, but something happened just now. Before finding out the truth, please be patient and don't rush to leave."

Wang Zhen rushed over and bowed repeatedly. "General, what happened to him? He was so murderous."

Xu Chun also lowered his face and echoed: "General Sun, it's not good to have fun with the people during the Chinese New Year holiday, and draw swords and dance swords."

Sun Ce was unmoved. "Mr. Wang, Mr. Xu, I had no intention of offending, but I had hundreds of ships burned, and the cargo on the ship was lost. Such a huge loss and such a big movement, probably it was not as simple as accidentally leaving the water. I suspect someone was deliberately targeting me."

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Zhen and Xu Chun exchanged a knowing look. Wang Zhen said, "General, if this is the case, then it should be found out. But if you don't go to the scene, you are here with martial law. Why? This is all local gentry in Yangxian. They have no grudges with the general, so they will never burn the general's ships, right? Even if anyone has a grudge with the general, they cannot burn hundreds of ships at once with their ability."

Sun Ce nodded. "Yes, I don't doubt them. I just want to ask them to be a witness. I kill people to pay their lives, pay their debts, burn my ships and cargo, and hurt my people. This revenge must be avenged. Please give me a witness. I know that Sun Ce is forced to do something. I didn't just have a small achievement and did evil. Wang Junzhu, Xu Gong, do you think this is the reason?"

Wang Zhen was slightly slight, and Xu Chun was even more indignant, patted his chest and said loudly: "The general is right. He should pay his life if he kills people and pays his debts. The general should indeed do this. If someone spreads rumors and is not good for the general, I, Xu Chun, will not agree. Although he is slight, he must speak a fair word for the general. General, how do you want to investigate, I will cooperate with you with all my strength."

"Then I thank Mr. Xu in advance." Sun Ce smiled and shouted loudly: "Yang Xiu, Xiang Lang."

Yang Xiu, Xiang Lang responded and bowed.

"Run to the baggage camp immediately, check the situation, take over Yangxian City, and bring Yangxian to me."
