If it were more than ten years ago, Liu Pi would not have been so embarrassing. After all, he was a small landlord with a good family background, so it would be no problem to raise a few beautiful women. Since he believed in Taiping and followed the great wise mentor, he was a little overwhelmed. After the first year of Zhongping, he did not become a founding general, but became a bandit. His living standards plummeted. Now that even eating has become a problem, the beauty no longer expects, and can only choose from the family of the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army mainly resigned from landless refugees, and had family members. They were not short of women. They could occasionally find beautiful young women, but after all, they were born in a farm family, and they could not compare with powerful families in terms of appearance or temperament. Even when Liu Pi was the most powerful, he was one level different from Kuai Yue.

Seeing the female members of the Kuai family at this moment, Liu Pi could not hide his greed and felt a little embarrassed.

"General, do you like it?"

"Hehe, hehe."

"Kuai Yue's family will be taken to the front of the formation tomorrow. It's really possible whether they can come back alive. If the general likes them, keeping them will save their lives."

When Liu Pi heard that it was Kuai Yue's family, he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that Sun Ce had put a trap on him. If he slept with the female relatives of the Kuai family, what if Sun Ce lost and Kuai Yue made a comeback, wouldn't he take his life?

"This... is not suitable, not suitable." Liu Pi swallowed hard. " Such a beauty should be left for the general to enjoy."

"My father has been left." Sun Ce smiled slightly. "Are you afraid that Kuai Yue will take revenge on you?"

"No, no."

"That's true. If Kuai Yue really turns defeat into victory, he will definitely not spare us. Not only will he regain these women, but he will also regain the land. General, among the 1,300 hectares of land I give you, more than 300 hectares of the Kuai family belong to, which is the entire property of the Kuai family."

Liu Pi took a breath and felt his scalp numb. He stared at Sun Ce with his eyes frightened. Sun Ce's meaning was very clear. You are afraid that it is useless. Even if you don't enjoy these women, Kuai Yue will not spare you unless you give up the land and leave Xiangyang. But in this way, if the Yellow Turban soldiers are willing to go with him, then maybe no one can guarantee whether they will switch to Sun Ce for the sake of the land.

There is only one way to be peaceful. Kill Kuai Yue and prevent the Kuai family from turning over.

"By the way, there is one more thing you may not know." Sun Ce glanced at the young women. "Who is Kuai Liang's family?"

Two young women walked out slowly and reported to their own house. One was Kuai Liang's concubine and the other was Kuai Liang's daughter.

"Kuai Liang colluded with Yuan Shao, intending to be unfavorable to the Empress General, and has been executed by the Empress General."

When Kuai Liang's daughter heard this, her legs became weak, she sat on the ground, covered her face, and burst into tears. But Kuai Liang's concubine just lowered her head and remained silent. When Liu Pi saw it, she gritted her teeth and pointed to Kuai Liang's concubine. "I want this woman."

Sun Ce nodded and glanced at the woman. The daughter smiled sadly, walked to Liu Pi, sat down obediently, and forced her to smile. Sun Ce smiled, but it was a little unnatural. In order to cut off Liu Pi's hesitation and force him to his own camp, he had to use this method. But to be honest, he felt uncomfortable when he saw these innocent women being used as bargaining chips.

But, what can he do?

Liu Pi knew that these women could not go back, so he simply acted ruthlessly and distributed them to his generals. These generals were either from poor landlords or from farmers, and they had a hatred for these wealthy women. When the Yellow Turban Army was in full swing, they robbed them a lot. At this moment, they naturally would not refuse the rewards and thanked Liu Pi one after another.

"Don't thank me, I should thank Captain Sun." Liu Pi said: "Including those lands, they were raised by Captain Sun for us. You must not forget Captain Sun's kindness. Tomorrow, follow me to fight, kill Kuai Yue, and seize Xiangyang."

The generals thanked Sun Ce again. However, Sun Ce did not hide like Liu Pi and accepted calmly. "Dear heroes, there is no need to thank you. You will follow General Liu to fight hard. In the future, the world will be peaceful. You will be more than just a few captured women."

The Yellow Turban Army has been in a difficult situation in recent years and has been working hard for survival. Now, it has not only land, women, but also hope, and is in a happy mood. They are talking and laughing around Sun Ce, and are grateful. Liu Pi saw it and smiled bitterly. Sun Ce is very skillful. If he is half-hearted, it is hard to say whether these subordinates are willing to follow him in the future.

Thinking about it, I was so depressed that after so long, even Sun Jian could not do anything about them. In the end, a young man in his teenager was settled. While lamenting the impermanence of the world, Liu Pi told Sun Ce that he would personally lead the Yellow Turban elites to fight tomorrow to serve the great kindness of the general and his son.

——

After dealing with Liu Pi, it was already midnight when Sun Ce returned to his big tent. Huang Yueying fell asleep on the table, with her face tilted, and a trace of saliva slipped out of her little mouth and flowed to the bookstore. Sun Ce laughed, took off her cloak, wrapped her up, and carried her to Huang Chengyan's tent next door. Huang Chengyan was writing and painting, and quickly got up to take it, put Huang Yueying on the marching couch, covered her with a quilt.

"What did Liu Pi say?"

"He promised to fight, but he couldn't count on too much." Sun Ce said softly: "The Yellow Turban Army struggled for too long to survive, and its morale was severely damaged and its confidence was insufficient. It was unrealistic to suddenly fight a tough battle."

"It would be great if the captain had such mental preparation." Huang Chengyan turned around and picked up the silk book on the table. "General, I drew a sketch of Xiangyang City defense based on my memory and marked the possible location of the crossbow machine. Remember carefully and be careful about the cold arrow."

Sun Ce was very grateful, so he quickly took it and put it in front of the lamp to take a closer look. The most terrifying thing among the chaos was not the opponent holding a sword, but the crossbowman. In this era, crossbows were sniper rifles, and crossbowmen were snipers, especially those powerful crossbows with extremely long range. It is very likely that you would be killed by him before you saw him.

"Thank you sir."

"Wait." Huang Chengyan turned around and pulled out a small package from the couch. "General, this is a piece of brocade armor. You will wear it close to your body tomorrow, so be careful."

"Brand armor?" Sun Ce was very surprised. He knew that later generations had armor woven with silk, and it was said that it could wrap around arrows and prevent the arrow from going deeper. Is there such a thing already in the Han Dynasty? He shook open and saw that the brocade armor was not big, like a horse clip, without a collar, without sleeves, and the center of gravity of the protection was the torso. It was not very thick, but it was much thicker than ordinary silk. When he looked rough, he found that there were at least twenty layers of them, which were some weight. He touched it and found that there were still things inside. He looked up in front of the light and found that there were several layers of gold wire inside, flashing under the light.

"Gold is soft, easy to extend, can resolve the power of arrows and will not rust."

"Sir, what a coincidence." Sun Ce was very grateful. Although he felt that using gold wire was better than using steel wire, the current iron treatment technology could not pull the steel wire, and gold wire should be the most suitable. "Thank you, sir."

"Don't thank me." Huang Chengyan glanced at Huang Yueying who was sleeping soundly on the marching couch, with gentle eyes. "It was sewn by the little girl and her aunt. You one piece, Sun Guoyi one piece."
