Sun Ben looked at Sun Fu with a grievance and sighed secretly.

Although he didn't understand why Sun Ce strongly opposed Sun Fu's marriage to Cai Ke as his wife, he believed that Sun Ce had no malice. Logically speaking, the Cai family was Sun Ce's spoils, and Sun Fu had no merits. Sun Ce did this and treated Sun Fu with great kindness. He was not a family and would never be so generous.

Therefore, Sun Fu's persistence seems very naive. If someone is given to you, the Cai family will not be able to escape anyway. What does it mean to marry a formal matchmaker? I am afraid that I will not be able to marry a wife in the future? Sun Ce is right. Sun Jian is already a lord, and the Sun family is booming. As long as Sun Fu works hard, the waters will rise and the ship will rise. It is possible to be a marquis and generals in the future. Isn't it better to marry a daughter from a famous family as a wife? I have to find a widow who is several years older?

But he really had no choice for this younger brother. Their parents were lost early and the two brothers depended on each other for their own lives. Sun Fu was raised by him, and half of his brother and half of his son was inevitable. Sun Fu twenty-three should have married long ago, but he had been fighting for the past two years and had not met a suitable person. This delayed him and he felt a little guilty.

"Bo Fu does this naturally makes sense of Bo Fu. I think he is not wrong." Sun Ben touched Sun Fu's head. "But, since you like it, I won't stop you. I will tell my uncle that if you ask him to come forward, Bo Fu will naturally not object."

"Thank you brother." Sun Fu was overjoyed and shook his arms with Sun Ben. "I will help me with my brother."

Sun Ben glared at him and couldn't help laughing again. "I heard that Cai Ke talked about her. I think she is not an ordinary woman. It doesn't matter if you marry her as a wife, but you must not be afraid of it and mislead the serious matter. The women in these families are no more sensible than ordinary families. Bo Fu disagrees, and I'm afraid he is worried about these things. Don't resent Bo Fu for this and let him down."

"No, no." Sun Fu agreed.

"Go back quickly. Bo Fu is good at using troops. You can help him with your life. In the future, he will win a wife and a son and comfort his parents' spirit in heaven."

"Oh, I get it."

——

Zhou Yu rushed to Caizhou and conveyed Sun Jian's order. Sun Ce felt relieved and Huang Zhong was overjoyed. Sun Ce promised him a captain, and now Sun Jian directly gave him a captain. The father and son respected him and appreciated him made him cry.

Zhou Yu gave Sun Ce a wink. Sun Ce understood and stood up and said, "Gongjin, Cai Zhou has a good scenery, I'll take you to see it."

The two left the manor, came to the edge of the Mianshui River, and walked side by side.

"Bo Fu, why don't you marry Cai Ke?" Zhou Yu straightforwardly raised his own question.

Sun Ce was puzzled and asked back: "Why should I marry her?"

"Because marrying her is marrying the Cai family. The Cai family is not only the Caizhou you see, but also the power that you cannot see. Not to mention that Cai Ke's two brothers are both 2,000 stones, just say that her aunt is the wife of the Grand Marshal Zhang Gong, and her eldest sister married the famous scholar Huang Chengyan, which has an important impact on your control of Nanyang and Nanjun."

"No." Sun Ce smiled and shook his head. "Gongjin, you are a child of a noble family and attach great importance to the importance of marriage. I admit that marriage is beneficial, but not without its disadvantages. If you want to rely on the relationship between the Cai family, you will inevitably be controlled by the Cai family. The more you borrow, the more you are controlled. You won't deny this, right?"

"I didn't deny this, but this is not the reason why you didn't marry Cai Ke but married Cai Ke to Sun Fu."

Sun Ce was silent for a long time. When he saw Zhou Yu, he knew that Zhou Yu must have different opinions. But his reason could not be said to Zhou Yu. Because Sun Fu later betrayed Sun Quan, he would now set a trap for Sun Fu in advance, and Zhou Yu would definitely not agree, because this is purely a speculation. If even the surnames are so vigilant, will there be trust between the different surnames?

"I don't want to marry Cai Ke, but I want the manpower and material resources of the Cai family. Moreover, Guoyi is at the age of marriage. He likes Cai Ke again. I just want to be a favor. You don't want me to really slaughter the Cai family, right?"

There was no smile on Zhou Yu's face. "You didn't tell the truth."

Sun Ce was shocked, then laughed again, reached out and put his hand on Zhou Yu's shoulder, and shook it hard. "Okay, okay, let me be honest, the previous reasons are secondary. There is actually only one reason I don't marry Cai Ke: I don't like her."

Zhou Yu broke free from Sun Ce and shredded his shoulders in disgust. "Although this reason is nonsense, it is trustworthy. I believe in you."

"Look at you..." Sun Ce shrugged. "I don't know how many times we slept in the same bed, and we haven't seen you so disgusted. Why, now I have become my confidant of Ah Weng, and I want to avoid suspicion?"

Zhou Yu's face suddenly turned red. "What are you talking nonsense! It's okay to joke with me, how can you joke with the general? This is unfilial."

"You think so far, you can't be guilty." Sun Ce walked around Zhou Yu twice with malicious intentions, and muttered in his heart. Dad wouldn't treat Zhou Yu as a substitute because Han Dang was not in the camp. That's a bit unauthorized, this is your son and mine.

Zhou Yu was furious. "Sun Bofu, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!"

"Okay, okay, just a joke." Sun Ce laughed loudly, and held Zhou Yu's shoulder again. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he forced him to walk forward. Zhou Yu wanted to break free from Sun Ce, but was afraid that Sun Ce would really think about that. That was a stain that cannot be erased in life and he would never accept it. The two evils were the least, so let's bear Sun Ce a little.

This guy is good at everything, he just makes no sense when he makes jokes.

"Gongjin, I have something I have to ask you for advice." Sun Ce put away his joke and said seriously: "To be honest, I really wanted to use the Cai family as an example to let the Xiangyang families see my methods, but I was worried that it would be impossible to deal with it in the future. Tell me, after taking Xiangyang, how can we control these powerful people and take over the land?"

Zhou Yu also put away his smile. "According to your plan, Nanyang is a must-fight place, and it will inevitably be affected by military disasters in the future. Xiangyang, separated by water, has become the ideal rear. Farming here can ensure the supply of military rations in Nanyang, and it is indeed not easy to take it lightly. However, it is not necessary to subdue these big surnames to kill people. If you don't kill people now, why don't you suppress the Cai family? With the Cai family as a precedent, the subsequent things will be easier to do. As long as you don't force them to take risks, it is not impossible to seize land and farmland."

"What are you going to do if you were asked to do it?"

"For profit."

"How to trade profits for profits?"

"Since you want to station a large army in Nanyang, all kinds of military supplies are a big business. If you use these businesses to exchange for their support or even the land in their hands, you can achieve your goal without killing people."

Sun Ce nodded happily. "Gongjin, we can be said to have a good understanding. Let's do it, I, Aweng, go and have a good time first. I, win this battle first. According to your plan, I have to lure Kuai Yue out of Xiangyang City. Kuai Yue is an old fox, and I have to think of some solutions."

"Do you want me to stay and help?"

"You are by my Aweng, which is more useful than staying in Caizhou." Sun Ce smiled and said, "Gongjin, you are the talent of Han Xin, not Fan Kuai, nor Chen Ping."

Zhou Yu smiled knowingly. "Okay, I'll wait for your good news to see if you can be both Fan Kuai and Chen Ping."
