Chapter 116 Tiger Talisman

As surrendered generals, Lu Bu, Sun Ce and others would certainly not have an easy life. Such generals who dominate the world, restraining them in Puyang City, is no different than a bird in a cage.

Some time ago, Cao Mengde appointed Lu Bu. Sun Ce was displeased and made a drunken blunder. He was even ordered to be punished by Cao Mengde.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, is really a wise man. He has been in Puyang for a year. He mostly studies and plays the piano at home. Except for a few visits to Sun Ce during the holidays, he does not show up most of the time and is very low-key.

Not only Zhou Yu, but also Sun Jian's old officials such as Huang Gai rarely met Sun Ce.

This is not unkindness, but he is caring about Sun Ce from the bottom of his heart.

Under Cao Mengde's eyes, if this group of people still huddled together, they would not be helping Sun Ce, but harming him.

There is no doubt that Cao Mengde is a monarch who knows people and is good at appointing people. Sun Ce and Lu Bu are both tiger and wolf generals. If not used, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources? It's just that when you come in, you can't trust it and it needs to be polished. Secondly, we have to wait for the opportunity.

Now the time has come, use Lu Bu first, and then use Sun Ce, make the best use of everything and make full use of people's talents.

Sun Ce is practicing martial arts in the backyard of his home.

Since the defeat and surrender, Cao Mengde has never treated him poorly in any detail. Cheng Yu had secretly brought his family back from Jiangdong and placed them in a large mansion in Puyang City. They had no shortage of daily expenses and were often rewarded.

Even one of the five parts of the Five Elements Boxing Sutra was given a complete copy early for him to practice.

Sun Ce was calm at first, but Sun Ce's temper was not calm to begin with. As time went by, he became irritable.

Especially when Lu Bu was appointed half a month ago, he felt even worse. He made a drunken blunder in a city wine shop, saying that Cao Mengde had no knowledge of people and that Lu Bu was not using him. So he was scolded by Cao Mengde and was not allowed to go out for half a month.

Sun Ce had no choice but to vent his frustration on martial arts training.

Because of the Five Elements Boxing Sutra, Sun Ce's martial arts cultivation has made great progress this year. A big gun weighing seventy or eighty kilograms was in his hand, like a black dragon emerging from the abyss. The shadow of the gun was sharp and powerful. The energy and blood all over his body was billowing like a furnace burning. His body was three feet long, and the shaking air rippled into pieces.

It is clear that he is already in a strong and brave state.

"Brother!"

Accompanied by a sound as clear and clear as beads falling on a jade plate, he dressed up as a girl, equipped with a sword and a bow, and walked in bravely.

The shadow of the gun was withdrawn, revealing the tall figure of Sun Ce.

"It's my little sister."

Sun Ce walked over with a gun, his bronzed upper body skin was tight, and the muscles under his skin seemed to contain a volcano that could erupt at any time.

Sun Jian had five sons and three daughters. Among all the brothers and sisters, the one Sun Ce loved most was this girl who was "like a brother in many ways", Sun Ren.

Only Sun Ren could stop Sun Ce at will when he was practicing martial arts. Even Sun Quan didn't dare to do such a thing.

"Brother, Mr. Cao sent someone to the house."

Sun Ren is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, but he is tall and handsome, with bright eyes, a pair of willow eyebrows, slanting between his temples, as if the two sharp swords are the most powerful.

Sun Ren liked to practice martial arts, and kept weapons with him. He also organized training for the maids at home. Mrs. Wu often scolded her, but Sun Ce was quite protective of him.

"oh?"

Sun Ce's expression changed: "Who is he?"

"It's Xi Zhicai." Sun Ren said: "Mother is receiving him. I'll tell my eldest brother. Brother, Cao Gong must use you!"

Although Sun Ce also had this guess, he smiled and said, "How do you know?"

"It's Xi Zhicai who's here!"

Sun Ren was in high spirits: "Mr. Xi Zhicai is Cao Cao's most trusted advisor. If it were a trivial matter, he would not come in person."

Sun Ce laughed and threw the big gun on the weapon rack. He felt very relieved and said with a smile: "As soon as I change my clothes, I will go see Mr. Xi immediately."

"Then you have to hurry up."

Xi Zhi came here just to activate Sun Ce.

After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce was naturally the head of the Sun family. But usually, his mother, Mrs. Wu, was in charge of most of the family affairs, and Sun Ce didn't like such trivial matters. Xi Zhicai arrived at Sun's house, and Mrs. Wu went out to greet her with great ceremony.

The two parties sat down in the main hall. After some greetings, Xi Zhicai said: "I came here this time on the order of my lord. I wonder if General Sun is at home?"

Mrs. Wu was not just an idle person, she was also a very intelligent woman. She had made some guesses as soon as Xi Zicai came. When she heard him ask Sun Ce, she felt happy and said, "Sir, please wait for a moment. I will give you my order." If someone calls for my child, he will be here soon."

After Sun Ce arrived, Mrs. Wu retreated to the back hall.

Sun Ce cupped his fists and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Mr. Xi looks very good."

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "I bother General Sun to worry about it, but I really don't dare to do it."

Then when they got down to business, Xi Zhi said seriously: "General Sun is one of the most capable generals in the world. My lord has repeatedly mentioned that General Sun is like his father. It has been many years since General Sun came to Puyang. How can he still yearn for the flames of war?" !”

Sun Ce was overjoyed and said: "Why don't you yearn for it?! Mr. Xi, I was drunk and made a mistake the day before yesterday. I was really bored. I thought I would not miss Lu Fengxian at all. My lord can use Lu Fengxian, why not use me?!"

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "My lord, it's not that I don't need a general. The opportunity didn't come half a month ago. Now that the time has come, can General Sun dare to lead the army to go on an expedition?!"

"You will win with me. If you don't win, come and see me!"

"good."

Xi Zhicai stood up seriously, took out half of the tiger talisman, and handed it to Sun Ce with both hands: "My lord has an order: General Sun Ce will be the leader, General Yu Jin will be the assistant, and Dian Man, Xia Houba and others will follow him and go to the camp outside the city within three days to control the situation. Twenty thousand soldiers. Stationed in Henan, waiting for military orders!"

Sun Ce took the tiger talisman and was extremely excited. He was born a talented general, but he felt aggrieved sitting in the city. It was his wish to be able to go to the battlefield and gallop around again.

"Sun Ce honors your order!"

Then Xi Zhicai gave some instructions: "This dispatch of troops is in the name of changing defenses. The details will be explained in detail by General Xia Houyuan when the general arrives in Luoyang."

After Sun Ce sent off the drama and left, he let out a long breath.

Sun Ren didn't know when he came behind him: "Tiger Talisman!"

Sun Ce opened his palm and said, "It's the Tiger Talisman."

When dispatching troops and generals, the tiger talisman shall prevail. Without the Tiger Talisman, with Sun Ce's current status, he wouldn't be able to mobilize a single soldier.

"Sure enough, Mr. Cao used his eldest brother." Sun Ren's eyes rolled: "Where are you going to attack?"

Sun Ce patted his head and said, "Is it okay for you, a little girl, to ask?"

But he entered the inner hall and saw his mother.

Mrs. Wu said: "Gong Cao is a very good man. My son is very capable. It is only right to use him."

"Even so, I am anxious after all." Sun Ce said: "Mother, this time I send troops to Luoyang, I guess it must be to use troops against Guanzhong. In the name of changing defenses, it is to paralyze Yuan Shao of Hebei. But the details, I still don’t understand, so I plan to ask Gong Jin.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu shook her head slightly and said, "If you want the Sun family to be stable, you can no longer be too involved with Gong Jin. Gong Jin is a wise man. Look, he has never come to see you in the past year, except during holidays. ?Although Mr. Cao is wise, if my son has too close contact with his old ministers, it will be a big taboo for those in power."
