The troops were divided into two groups. Yuan Shu led the main force to Wancheng, and Sun Ce rushed to the He family east of Fan Li Temple. When passing the small hill, Sun Ce climbed up the stairs and pointed to the place where Cao Cao hid the crossbow to see Zhou Yu and others. He spoke very easily, but Zhou Yu's face turned pale. Huang Chengyan also smiled bitterly and shook his head. Huang Yueying turned around the grass twice and stamped his feet hatred.

Sun Ce laughed: "Okay, these dead grasses are not responsible, why are you stomping them?"

Huang Yueying snorted and turned away. Pang Tong felt it was interesting and laughed twice. Huang Yueying turned around and glared fiercely, immediately closed her mouth and looked at the scenery seriously. Sun Ce was very surprised. He knew that these two villains were not dealing with, but it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. Pang Shanmin made a mistake in the route, but Huang Chengyan was valued by him. The situation of the two families was different and had a great impact on them.

"Shi Yuan, how are your relative Pang Shanmin now?"

Pang Tong hurriedly bowed and bowed. "General, before leaving, I went to Yuliangzhou, and he was studying behind closed doors."

"What book are you reading?"

"It is the food and goods part in "Salt and Iron Theory" and "Taishi Gong's Book" and "Han Shu".

Sun Ce nodded. "It's interesting. Keep in touch with him. Let me see what he has achieved."

"Here." Pang Tong was very happy and agreed with a crisp voice. Huang Chengyan also breathed a sigh of relief. He and Pang Degong were good friends. Pang Shanmin made a mistake and stayed idle at home. He was embarrassed to see Pang Degong. Now that Sun Ce lets go, giving Pang Shanmin a chance to return, he has given him this knot.

Sun Ce knew it well, but he didn't point it out. Huang Chengyan and Pang De had a deep relationship with each other, so it was normal for him to take care of each other, but Huang Chengyan had not pleaded for Pang Shanmin for so long, so he naturally knew to avoid suspicion. This was enough, and it was impossible for them to completely draw a clear line.

"Let's go, go to Fanli Temple and pay homage to this Tao Zhugong, hoping that he can bless us with wealth."

"Okay." Everyone responded in a verbal manner and hugged Sun Ce to walk towards the opposite hillside.

——

Sun Ce didn't know whether Tao Zhugong Fan Li was effective, but when he saw the He Family Manor, Sun Ce understood why Zhang Xun and others had such expressions.

The He family is so rich. This manor is not only as big as a county town, but also magnificent. I was afraid that others would not know that their family was rich, and the places where they could show off were as luxurious as possible. Just the one-two exit in front of the door made people jealous, so high that they could see it a few miles away. Just thinking about it, it was just a butcher, and even if they were rich, they had no status. Suddenly, they became a royal relative, first a nobleman, then a queen, a general, a cavalry general, and even He Jin's stepmother was named Wuyang Jun. He had all the glory and wealth he could think of, and he didn't know how to live.

At that time, they definitely didn't believe that the He family would have fallen to this point in just over a decade. Seeing that he had a tall building, the building was still new, and the people were gone.

At this moment, Sun Ce's little sympathy for the He family disappeared. For such royal relatives who only know how to absorb the wealth of the people, let alone robbery, there is no psychological burden even if they dig up their ancestral graves. This is a way of doing things for heaven.

Sun Ce relaxed all over and whispered to Zhou Yu sideways: "Compared with the He family, your Zhou family is really low-key."

Zhou Yu glanced at him. "How can my Zhou family compete with the He family?" He paused and said, "It's a pity that Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, otherwise, you would find that the Yuan family is more luxurious than the He family."

"real?"

Zhou Yu turned around and saw that Sun Ce’s confidants were surrounded by him, and then whispered: “Brother Yuan Benchu ​​entered the palace, but it was not just killing eunuchs. The late emperor must have never expected that his body was not cold, and the Wanjin Hall, which he built under the pretext of the world, would have been wiped out. If it weren’t for this, how could he be rescued by Dong Zhuo first?”

Sun Ce blinked his eyes, was stunned for a long time, and cursed himself in his heart. I'll go, not only Yuan Shu is a fierce ghost on the road, but the entire Yuan family is a robber. Ordinary people only dare to rob in the wild, Yuan Shu dares to rob in the streets of Luoyang, and Yuan Shao is even more awesome, so he directly robs the palace. Isn't that? He killed thousands of people, and robbed Wanjintang. No wonder Yuan Shu hinted that he should be polite. No matter how rich the He family is, it is impossible to compare with the palace. Although Yuan Shu is tight now, he has been rich, so how could he take this little money seriously?

Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be marquis are not bad at all. However, the Yuan family has greater ambitions, and they are not satisfied with being a marquis. They want to establish their own dynasty. In the face of such huge benefits, even Yuan Shu can't help it.

A nameless fire broke out in Sun Ce's heart. Yuan Shao, if I don't destroy you, I will travel through this time in vain.

"I can spare their lives by sending someone to negotiate and let the He family surrender. If you really want to do something, don't blame me for being cruel when you see blood."

"Here." Zhou Yu turned around and arranged.

"Sir, whether you can successfully break through the He family this time depends on the power of your stone thrower. Is ten days enough?"

Huang Chengyan turned to the surrounding hillside, confident.

——

The He family's reaction to Sun Ce's persuasion of surrender was an undisguised ridicule. There are more than 2,000 plots in the He family manor, and even if Sun Ce comes to 10,000 people, it may not be able to conquer. It is winter now, and everything they should be harvested has been harvested. They hid in the fort and did whatever they should do unless Sun Ce keeps leaving. When the spring begins tomorrow, they may be able to stop the He family from sowing. Apart from that, he can do nothing.

With this idea in mind, the He family simply refused Sun Ce's persuasion to surrender. The gate of the manor was closed and there was no plan to send someone to see Sun Ce.

Sun Ce did not expect the He family to surrender, and he seized this rare opportunity to rectify his men.

Sun Ce had more than 4,000 people, including the 1,000 elite troops left by his father Sun Jian and more than 3,000 surrendered soldiers in Jingzhou, including more than 300 craftsmen from the 1,000 elite troops. Sun Ce first picked out more than 300 people from the 1,000 elite troops to expand the three commanders of the Guards, Dian Wei, Lin Feng, and Beidou Feng as the commander, each leading about 100 people, divided into three parts, left, center and right, and they were on duty in daily shifts, and served as the supervision team or assault camp during wartime.

Then, Sun Ce selected some elite soldiers from the Jingzhou surrendered stroke, gathered about 800 people to serve as the guard camp, and Guo Jun was appointed as the commander. Sun Ce's request for them was to take into account land and water wars, be responsible for the guards in peacetime, and serve as the reserve team in wartime.

Among the remaining 3,000 people, Sun Ce asked Huang Zhong to identify and select, and selected those who knew the text or had a skill, and enriched them into the baggage camp, and the old and the weak also picked them out to work within their ability, or simply distributed some severance payments to let them go home. Only those who are strong, hard-working and able to strictly abide by the orders can act as soldiers, provide sufficient conditions, and carry out intensive training.

People are divided into different levels, and the treatment is also significantly different. Konoe Yoshi is the best treatment, the training is the most hardest, and there is wine and meat supply from time to time. The personal guard camp is second, and the ordinary soldiers led by Huang Zhong are second, and those who do not take on combat tasks are the easiest, and of course the treatment is the worst. Just eat enough, don’t think about meat, wine and other things. It’s okay to think about it, train hard, and hope to be selected in the next selection and become a real warrior.

Based on the principle of preferring to be insignificant than to be indiscriminate, Sun Ce only picked out more than 2,500 people and carried out strict training under the noses of the He family.
