Chapter 103 Give and Take

Sun Ce knew it well and pulled out the seal of the Jingzhou Governor whom Liu Biao left to him from his arms.

"Is this enough?"

Zhou Yu smiled. When he talked to Sun Jian about this plan, Sun Jian was worried that Sun Ce would not be willing to let go, but Zhou Yu believed that Sun Ce knew the way to choose and would not be reluctant to let go of the reputation of a governor of Jingzhou. As he expected, Sun Ce had already prepared a meeting ceremony, and believed that Yuan Shu could not refuse at all.

"I can give it to the governor of Jingzhou, but not for free." Sun Ce put the seal in Zhou Yu's hands. "We must have some benefits."

"What benefits do you want?"

"Nanyang Iron Official. I plan to keep Huang Chengyan in Nanyang to be responsible for iron smelting affairs, build weapons, and give priority to supplying the Cai family iron materials. I killed two companies in Xiangyang and robbed dozens of companies, and they have regarded me as a robber. I must set an example and tell them that all I want is land. As long as they give up the land, I will never do anything randomly and can make them profit more."

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment. "This requirement is not excessive, but you cannot say it. If you say it, it is a threat, it is a transaction. Even if the general is willing to trade, it cannot accept it."

Sun Ce understood this truth, which was also the reason why he came to Zhou Yu. After Yuan Shu claimed to be a famous family, he would not bow to anyone easily. He was not a political counselor and had no obligation to correct Yuan Shu's thoughts. To a certain extent, he would even encourage Yuan Shu's psychology. If people want to perish, they will first make people crazy. If Yuan Shu doesn't die, the Sun family will not have the opportunity to be independent.

"I'll go find Feng Fang." Zhou Yu thought for a long time and stood up. "Have you brought the money? I can't go empty-handed."

Sun Ce waved his hand. "What do you need? Go to the baggage boat to get it yourself."

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce deeply, bowed slightly, and turned around and left.

——

Feng Fang was in a complicated mood when he heard that Zhou Yu came to pay a visit. Although he was not very smart, he was a lieutenant of Sili. How could he not understand that he had been fooled by Zhou Yu? He was once the boss of Zhou Yu's father Zhou Yi, but now he is played with by Zhou Yu, so he is naturally embarrassed.

However, he could only sulk. Not to mention Zhou Yu's family background, he dared not offend him because he was a close confidant of Sun Jian and his son and was deeply loved by Yuan Shu. He is no longer a Sili lieutenant, but just an old official of the Yuan family. If he offended Yuan Shu, he might have nothing at any time.

Feng Fang adjusted his emotions and personally came out to greet him. Zhou Yu bowed his hands and stood respectfully at the door. Four followers stood behind him, carrying two large boxes. Feng Fang saw the bend of the shoulder pole, and he couldn't help but feel happy. The expression on his face immediately became a little enthusiastic.

"Gongjin, what are you doing? Come here and bring so many things." Feng Fang said, pulling Zhou Yu into the big tent. This place is too close to Yuan Shu's central army tent, so he doesn't want people to see these gifts and go to Yuan Shu to make trouble.

Zhou Yu smiled and bowed to his husband. "Feng Jun, this is not my gift, it was given to Feng Jun by General Sun and his son."

"General Sun?" Feng Fang immediately became alert. Sun Jian conquered Xiangyang, which was a great achievement, but Yuan Shu had many people around him. Yuan Shu was determined to win Jingzhou, and it was impossible for Sun Jian to become the lord of Jingzhou. If Sun Jian gave him gifts for this matter, he would not dare to accept it no matter how generous the gift was. He stroked his beard, looked at Zhou Yu, and showed a embarrassed expression. "This is not appropriate. I will not receive any reward without merit. I have no contact with General Sun. If this is spread, wouldn't it cause misunderstanding?"

Zhou Yu took out the seal of the governor of Jingzhou from his arms. Feng Fang saw the black copper seal and his eyes lit up, and the beard on his lips couldn't help but pick it. Zhou Yu saw it, but pretended not to know. "This was seized by Captain Sun from Liu Biao. He should have directly offered it to the General of the Later, but their father and son pretended to be injured in order to seize Xiangyang. Although they were helpless, they were deceiving after all, they were deceiving. They were afraid that the General of the Later, they dared not present it in person. They wanted to ask Feng Jun to hand it over, and they hope that Feng Jun would not refuse. The only person who could speak in front of the General of the Later is Feng Jun."

Feng Fang felt a stone in his heart and was overjoyed. Such a good thing actually fell on him. It was so clear that the heavens had eyes, and he didn't have any effort. He gave the seal to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was happy and would definitely have a reward. He helped Sun Jian and his son, and he received another generous gift. He was able to do everything and have the best of both worlds.

"Oh, General Sun is so cautious. How could the latter general care about such trivial matters? He never gets tired of deceiving the soldiers. In order to win Xiangyang, the father and son have put a lot of effort into it. The latter general is too happy, so how could he blame them?"

"We will feel relieved with Feng Jun's words." Zhou Yu put the seal in Feng Fang's hand and opened the box with his own hands. Feng Fang held the seal tightly, but his eyes were attracted by the things in the box. One of the two large boxes was filled with brocade fabric. Zhou Yu lifted a corner and fell out a layer of gold cake inside. When he looked roughly, he found that there were at least twenty or thirty gold. The other one was relatively low-end, but it was Feng Fang's most needed thing at the moment, all of which were waxed wild game.

"The New Year is approaching, so I'll give Feng Jun some new clothes to improve his taste. These are all unique wild game in Xiangyang, which is not worth much, but they are not common."

Feng Fang was overjoyed. Zhou Yu was so considerate. He was not from Nanyang. He followed Yuan Shu here without the support of the industry, but he could not be too shabby. He was already in financial difficulties. The New Year is approaching, so how can the family have a good New Year in Wancheng become his biggest problem. Now Zhou Yu has sent these two boxes of gifts, and all the food, clothing and use are solved at once.

"Gongjin, it is their luck that the Sun family's father and son have you assisted." Feng Fang held Zhou Yu's hand and smiled. "Gongjin, how old is this year?"

"Return to Feng Jun, a man born in Yimao, this year he is 17 years old."

"I am so tall and upright when I am only seventeen years old, I will definitely be a great husband in the future." Feng Fang was even more satisfied. "With Gongjin's family background and character, I wonder how many families want to marry their daughter to you, have they gotten married?"

Zhou Yu shook his head awkwardly. "I haven't married yet."

"Very good, very good." Feng Fang raised his eyebrows and nodded repeatedly. Seeing Zhou Yu's puzzled eyes, he hurriedly concealed: "Gongjin is a handsome man and has both talent and both civil and military. It is the time to make achievements, so it is not advisable to get married too early. Why do real men have no wives, right?"

"Jun Feng is right." Zhou Yu felt that Feng Fang was a little confused, but he didn't take it to heart. He said a few perfunctory words before he said Sun Ce's request. Feng Fang refused a little and agreed, promising to make a promise to Yuan Shu to meet Sun Ce's request.

At the same time, Sun Ce invited Cai Mao to his tent. He straightened the point and took out a prepared piece of golden silk brocade armor.

"Kuai Liang was killed by you, Kuai Yue was killed by me, but now there is a problem, Kuai Qi is gone. The assassin who assassinated his father has been killed on the spot, but no one knows how many disciples of the Kuai family still want to take revenge."

Cai Mao took a breath of air conditioning and said for a while: "What should I do?"

"Make sure the Cai family is the only one who dares to take Kuai Qi in Xiangyang. Anyone who dares to take in Kuai Qi or collude with him will have a dead end. I want Guoyi to guard Xiangyang, but I dare not say whether the general can agree."

Cai Mao gritted his teeth. "I'll beg him. Even if I give him all the remaining property, I must make Guoyi the governor of Xiangyang."
