A few days later, Sun Ce arrived in Shu County.

Cheng Pu led his troops to greet him. He looked in a bad condition, his left arm was not very natural when he saluted, and there was a look of pain on his face. Sun Ce glanced at his left arm and found that the sleeves of the battle robe were tightly stretched, and there were traces of repair in the position of the battle armor.

This discovery surprised Sun Ce. When he entered Lujiang, the scouts discovered the traces of the bandits one after another. There were many people and the bandits dared not come to cause trouble and hid far away. However, the settlements along the way were robbed by bandits, and Linhu County was almost defeated by bandits. Lujiang was the county governor, and the county soldiers were stationed, but they were also besieged by bandits, which shows that the situation was even more serious than he thought. However, Cheng Pu carried the burden himself and paid a considerable price.

"Mr. Cheng, are you injured?"

"Skin and flesh are hurt, it's not a problem." Cheng Pu laughed casually.

Sun Ce didn't say anything more. Cheng Pu was an old subordinate of his father, and he was very qualified and had outstanding military achievements. He was injured by a group of bandits. Since he refused to say it, there was no need to ask. With Cheng Pu's identity, Bencao Tang must have the medicine for injury, and he didn't need to do favors.

Sun Ce then introduced Dong Xi, Quan Rou and other new generals to Cheng Pu. Seeing that Sun Ce treated Cheng Pu so much, Dong Xi and others dared to be careless and went forward to salute. Gan Ning, Guo Wu and others had known Cheng Pu for a long time and took the initiative to salute. Cheng Pu immediately introduced his entourage. Most of these people were from Lujiang County, working in the prefect's office, some were guests, and some were representatives of the Lujiang family to welcome Sun Ce together, such as Zhou Yu's brother Zhou Guan. There was a young man standing beside Zhou Guan, his son Zhou Jun. Sun Ce had met before, but he was still a slutty boy. He hadn't seen him for two years, and he was a young boy.

At that time, not everyone in the Zhou family was as optimistic as Zhou Yu, and they didn't have much contact with each other. Except for Zhou Yu himself, others rarely went to Daonan Mansion, let alone played together. The situation is different now. The Sun family is already a prince, and even Lujiang has become the territory of the Sun family. Zhou Guan not only came to greet him in person, but also brought his son, and the meaning of the effect was clear.

Of course, Sun Ce would not treat Zhou Yu's family unfairly. He was very polite and gave Zhou Guan enough face. Sun Quan also took the initiative to talk to Zhou Jun and quickly spoke enthusiastically, just like how good the relationship was.

After introducing the guests, Cheng Pu called a boy, pressing his hand on the boy's shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation, and he was reluctant to leave.

"Major General, there is a young warrior, I want to recommend it to you."

Sun Ce looked at the boy. He looked sixteen or seventeen years old, with a burly figure of about seventeen feet and sixty feet, with a straight facial features and a dignified appearance. He was a handsome guy. Although his face was still young, he had a little firmness. Standing in front of Sun Ce, he was very excited, his face turned slightly red, and his eyes shining. As soon as Cheng Pu finished speaking, he bowed and said loudly: "Xunyang Chen Wu, pay homage to the general."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. This was his destined subordinate, and he was late.

Seeing Sun Ce laughing, Chen Wu was a little embarrassed, thinking that his disobedience was caused by his face, and his face turned redder. Seeing this, Sun Ce pulled Chen Wu's arm and looked up and down. "Cheng Gong is very skilled in martial arts, and his infantry and cavalry are both good. I guess your martial arts are very good. I wonder what you are best at?"

"Uh..." Chen Wu thought for a while. "Wu can also step and ride, and he knows a little about riding and shooting and spear technique. But he is the best at the spear." He looked at Cheng Pu and scratched his head embarrassedly. "I was overestimated and had competed with Cheng Gong for the Spear Method. Meng Cheng Gong gave in and was unbeaten for twenty rounds."

Sun Ce laughed again. He was not clear about Cheng Pu's martial arts. He was not considered top-notch. He was a top-notch. He was also a master among ordinary people. However, he was afraid of young and strong fists, and he was afraid of old men. Experience was very important when competing weapons. Cheng Pu had many years of fighting and experienced experience. Chen Wu was able to compete with him for more than 20 years without defeat, which shows that Chen Wu did have outstanding achievements in spear method. He was well trained and was another powerful general.

"Although my spear method is not as good as Mr. Cheng, it is reasonable to be honest. If you have time, you can discuss it together."

Chen Wu was overjoyed. He knew that there were many masters around Sun Ce. There was a young man named Guo Wu who once took Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others. Cheng Pu often talked about it now. He was worried that Sun Ce would look down on him and would not want to include it, or that he would not stay with him because of Cheng Pu's face. Now, after hearing Sun Ce's words, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Seeing Sun Ce giving face, Cheng Pu was also very satisfied. He patted Chen Wu on the shoulder and said, "Boy, work hard, don't let down your talent."

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng." Chen Wu was very grateful, bowed and then stood happily with Guo Wu and others. He informed him of the name and learned that there was the legendary young player in front of him. Chen Wu became even more excited and expressed his admiration to Guo Wu. Guo Yuan joked with a little sourness that Guo Wu was so famous that there were admirers. Xie Guanglong and others joked about Guo Yuan, saying that he was jealous of his brothers.

A group of young people soon had a hot chat and made an appointment to compete in martial arts with their time. Chen Wu arrived for the first time and saw that Sun Ce was surrounded by some young masters of similar age. He was very happy. He thought he had more good friends, but he did not notice the cunning in the eyes of Ma Chao and others. Sun Ce could see clearly, knowing that Chen Wu was going to suffer and was tortured by these fierce people one by one, and I wonder if the child would collapse in confidence.

Sun Ce and Cheng Pu returned to the city together. On the way, Cheng Pu reported to Sun Ce about the situation in Lujiang.

The situation in Lujiang is indeed very serious, especially before Sun Ce and Zhou Yu surrounded Chaisang. Liu Yao, as the governor of Yangzhou, sent people to contact the thieves in the mountains, and once surrounded the county. Needless to mention Long Shu, the mountainous county, was probably occupied by the bandits.

Sun Ce comforted Cheng Pu. The situation in Lujiang is so bad, not because Cheng Pu is incompetent, but because objective conditions are limited. First, there is a large mountainous area on the west side of Lujiang, which is the famous Dabie Mountains. There is also a southwest-northeast-facing mountain range in the middle. It is not easy to defend the narrow area suitable for cultivation. The Sun family has no prestige, and Cheng Pu is not a famous scholar, but a native of Youzhou. It is commendable that he can ensure the county's jurisdiction.

Zhou Guan made a lot of contributions here. As the first family in Lujiang, Zhou Guan's attitude can influence many people.

"There is something... strange." Cheng Pu looked around and saw only his personal guards on his side. He whispered: "The prisoner told me that there seemed to be people from the Xu family among these bandits."

"Which Xu family?"

"I don't know this, but they came for you." Cheng Pu hesitated a little and hesitated for a while before saying, "I heard that Xu Shao is a guest in Yuzhang. Could it be that he contacted me?"

Sun Ce thought about it and felt it was possible. But the Xu family in Pingyu had already bowed their heads, and the family business was all in Pingyu. Xu Shao's brother Qian worked in the prefect's office. Xu Qian's wife also supported Yuan Quan to establish a workshop. It seemed unlikely that she would be so radical. She risked the possibility of her whole family being killed and hooked up with the bandits. It was possible that Xu Gong's family was wiped out, and he and his guests were wiped out, but he still had people in his hometown, so it was normal to avenge him.

"Since it's for me, I will meet them." Sun Ce said.
