Chapter 1601 Don’t eat toast (Page 1/1)

The people who came to welcome were waiting outside the camp, some of whom were gathered to chat and laugh, or they walked alone with their servants, thinking about what to say after seeing Sun Ce later. How to say, some people were confident and enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the Han River, chatting and laughing loudly, while others were uneasy, sighing and worried.

Yang Lu and Yang Yi were among them. They stood side by side on the shore, looking at the slowly flowing Han River, and talking about their plans. Yang Lu is already twenty years old this year and is about to become an official in the next year, but he has not yet decided whether to work under Zhou Yu's command or join the Sun Ce shogunate. Yang Yi is seventeen this year, and he plans to go to Pingyu, Runan. He heard that Xu He, the master of fortune-telling, was teaching in Pingyu, and he wanted to see if there is any opportunity to get started.

"Brother, I think Aweng is not suitable for doing this." Yang Yi looked at the tall tower ship in the distance and felt a little uneasy. Since Sun Ce used the tower ship to surround the Yang family's Huihu Lake, he has been a little afraid of the tower ship. The tower ship in front of him is larger than the tower ship he had seen before. When he looked close, he looked like a city. Even if it was hundreds of steps away, it was still an existence that cannot be ignored.

Seeing these tower ships, Yang Yi remembered the scene when Sun Ce built the Yang family for the first time and asked the guards to drag his father Yang Jie out. This time, Sun Ce used the great victory to defeat Yuan Shao and returned to Xiangyang. Yang Jie did not come to greet him, but only sent their brothers to serve as representatives. He always felt something was wrong.

Yang Lu followed Yang Yi's gaze and looked at the boat in the distance, then turned around to look at the soldiers standing with spears outside the camp, and sighed. "Cai Feng wants to negotiate with General Sun. What can my Yang family do? Taking action alone and offend the village party is much more serious than offending General Sun. Wei Gong, you don't have to worry too much. First, the law does not blame the public. With so many people, General Sun will not be able to turn against him in public. Second, my Yang family has already declined in Xiangyang and cannot be ranked. With the Cai family in front of him, even if there is any storm, it will be insignificant to my Yang family."

Yang Yi sighed. "Brother is right, but I always feel it is inappropriate. I can't control what other people are doing. My Yang family actually received the favor of General Sun. If it weren't for General Sun, we brothers wouldn't have the chance to enter Xiangyang Academy and study under Cai Boyi. Without Bencao Tang, I don't know how much trouble you would have to do when you have an illness. To be honest, although General Sun is a little harsh on the aristocratic family, he is still kind-hearted. You see, although the families in Nanyang have lost their land, their industries have increased. It can be seen that General Sun did this just to curb land annexation, not to accumulate."

Yang Lu nodded. He knew what Yang Yi said, but he was older than Yang Yi and had a much gentler temperament. This time, the Xiangyang powerful forces united, and he represented his father Yang Jie at the party many times, and knew more. As one of the Xiangyang families, the Yang family could not leave the village party and negotiated with Sun Ce alone. The Yang family was not worth enough, so they could only join Cai Feng and others to join the crowd. Sun Ce could not stay in Jingzhou, but the village party had to live for a lifetime. He would rather give up some opportunities than create a barrier because of immediate interests. Yang Yi was young and addicted to mathematics. Recently, he was studying the "Safety and Iron Theory" written by Pang Shanmin. He studied the economy and food, but he was not very clear about the worldly ways. He didn't know that his father Yang Jie's move was also out of helplessness, and he was just taking the minority of the two evils.

"Hey, what's going on?" Yang Yi suddenly reached out and pointed to the distance. Yang Lu looked at him and saw Sun Fu's command carrying a table, sitting on a couch out of the camp, loading ships one by one, as if to transport them away. Their brothers were a little puzzled. What does this mean? Do Sun Ce think it's not good or too good? The furniture prepared by Sun Fu are all high-quality goods, and the Cai family came to raise funds, and all families participated in it, in order to show the strength and sincerity of the Xiangyang family. Why did Sun Ce move out as soon as he entered the camp?

"It's broken." Yang Yi stomped her feet, turned around and pulled Yang Lu's sleeve and shook it. "Brother, please send someone back and notify Ah Weng, asking him to come quickly or pretend to be sick and bedridden."

"Why?"

"I don't know if you are prepared or not. In short, General Sun cannot think that our Yang family is as frivolous as the Cai family." Yang Yi urged repeatedly. Yang Lu was also a little uneasy and hurriedly called a clever servant to ask him to go back and notify Yang Jie. Their brothers walked towards the camp gate and mixed in the crowd. They saw many people surrounding Sun Fu and asked him to ask, but Sun Fu did not say a word. He sent his subordinates to block the crowd, held their heads and lifted things. After getting on the boat, he raised the anchor and headed straight for Xiangyang.

Everyone looked at each other and was a little confused for a moment.

After Sun Fu took away all the decorations in the tent, Zhang Hong ordered people to take off the supplies they brought from the building and redecorate them. Xu Huang also urgently returned to the city to withdraw supplies. Sun Ce re-entered the tent and sent someone to ask Pang Degong to speak.

Pang Degong was outside the camp and saw clearly the scene of Sun Fu withdrawing the furnishings. Even Cai Ke did not miss it when he took a boat to Caizhou. However, he had not spoken or talked to others. Hearing Sun Ce summoned him, he cheered up and walked slowly into the camp with a bamboo stick.

Zhang Cheng, who came to ask him, was very polite and respectful. Everyone saw it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know what happened, Sun Ce was not angry. It should be just Sun Fu's problem. Maybe Sun Ce wanted to be frugal, so he deliberately asked Sun Fu to remove these exquisitely crafted furniture in front of everyone. Originally, he owed so much money and could not pay it back within a few years. It was really unreasonable to be so extravagant. Sun Ce didn't understand, could the counselors around him not understand? Only Sun Fu's idiot couldn't see the situation clearly and hit the wall.

When Mr. Pang De entered the camp, Sun Ce stood in front of the tent to greet him, bowed and smiled, "Mr. Pang De, you are rude and rude, and you have been waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, it's okay." Mr. Pang De stroked his beard and praised: "It's really admirable for the general to set an example and practice frugality."

"I'm not considered frugal, I just live in the best way." Sun Cexu stroked Pang Degong's arm and asked him to enter the account. "The mountain people are now the prefect and have not yet started a family. Logically speaking, his salary should be able to support the family. Pang Gong's clothes, single robes, skeletons, bamboo sticks, is it because I am stingy to be with my subordinates and deduct their salary?"

Pang Degong couldn't help laughing and shook his head repeatedly. "It is my fault to implicate the general's reputation. I will change my clothes when I go back. In fact, my real wealth is hidden at home and I can't bring it out. When the general has time, I will come to the humble house and I will offer treasures to the general."

"It's better to hit the sun than picking up the sun. What should I do now? Anyway, it's all on the continent, only three or five miles away, you can walk to you and I. By the way, please ask Mr. Pang to introduce the scenery of Yuliangzhou to me. I looked on the boat and there seemed to be a lot of houses on the continent."

"I am very lucky to be able to guide the general. But now..." Pang Degong looked at Sun Ce with some confusion. "General, the day has set in the west, and the dinner to welcome the general is about to begin. Will the general not take a break? The party in Xiangyang Township is enthusiastic, and I will inevitably pay a few glasses of wine to the general later."

Sun Ce picked the corners of his mouth and said meaningfully: "It's not like drinking wine. If Mr. Pang doesn't dislike me, I would rather go to Mr. Pang's house to drink a bowl of porridge. I wonder if Mr. Pang welcomes me?"
