Chapter 1423: Too much bullying (Page 1/1)

Shen Rong knelt down as soon as he saw Sun Ce, with skillful movements and sincere eyes, which made Sun Ce feel embarrassed to speak if he wanted to tease him.

This guy is indeed a cordyceps. Although Shen Pei has all kinds of problems, he is at least hard, and Shen Rong is even soft, so he should be considered a scum of the Shen family. But then again, Shen Pei's two sons are not much better. They both surrendered to Cao Cao after the Battle of Guandu.

Or is it that the Shen family has inherited the ancestral cartilage, but the only one who has produced Shen Pei is an alien?

"Okay, I don't want to kill you, but you have to give me a reason, right?" Sun Ce smiled and winked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia is best at asking for things like forced confessions. However, seeing Shen Rong like this, there should be no need to force confessions, as long as Guo Jia pays attention to the authenticity.

Guo Jia nodded with a smile and took Shen Rong aside to ask questions. As Sun Ce expected, without using any means by Guo Jia, Shen Rong told him everything he knew. Including the open and secret struggle between Shen Pei and Yuan Shao, including forcing Xu You to death not long ago, and Ju Su persuaded Shen Pei to cooperate with Xun Yan to fully support Yuan Shao in the fight.

When he learned that Ju Su suggested that the soldiers were quick, he took the lead. Sun Ce was relieved and was a little worried. History looked similar, but in fact it was very different. Unlike in history, Yuan Shao had the advantage in the Battle of Guandu and had to kneel down, Yuan Shao was actually at the end of the road. Will he be trapped in beasts and fight out of the courage of the Battle of Zhenqiao? If he had put so much effort into the end and finally made Yuan Shaoxiong turn the tables, it would be a huge joke.

The closer you are to victory, the more you need to be arrogant and impatient.

After learning about the relevant situation, Sun Ce asked Shen Rong and said, "Do you want to go back?"

Shen Rong blinked, not knowing what Sun Ce meant. He didn't want to die, but he didn't believe that Sun Ce would let him go now. The war is not over yet. Even if he is born kind, he has to talk about it after the war, right?

"I……"

Sun Ce was not in the mood to talk to Shen Rong and went straight to the point. "Do you think your uncle will redeem you?"

"This..." Shen Rong considered it for a moment. "As long as the general's requirements can be met, my brother will do his best."

Sun Ce snorted and looked at Shen Rong with a smile. "How much do you think you are worth?"

Shen Rong was very embarrassed. He could see Sun Ce's contempt and therefore believed in Sun Ce's sincerity in letting him go back. Sun Ce looked down on him at all and did not want to surrender him. He would rather exchange him for some money, food or anything else. However, as a prisoner, he is not qualified to ask Sun Ce for respect now.

"What does the general want, food? horses? gold?"

"Food?" Sun Ce sneered: "I have some food, and you don't need to worry about it. When you come with Jiang Gongyi, you should see the food on the ship, right? To be honest, more food will be shipped in a few days, enough for me to eat for a year. Horses and gold are still needed. Tell me, how many horses are you worth if you change horses? If you change gold, how many dozens of gold are you worth?"

Shen Rong's face was red. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he could not bear Sun Ce's humiliation. A few horses and dozens of gold, am I so cheap? Yuan Shao redeemed Yuan Tan for three thousand gold, equivalent to at least a hundred war horses. Even if my identity is not as noble as Yuan Tan, it would not be so cheap, right? The rabbit would bite people when it is anxious. What's more, Shen Rong is a child of a Jizhou family after all, and there is the strength of his ancestors in his bloodline. Under Sun Ce's repeated stimulation, he couldn't help but feel that although he still did not dare to retort, he was a little bit neither humble nor arrogant.

"Report to the general, the family is poor and is above the battle formation. I really can't produce too many, and I can barely get a hundred horses or five hundred gold. If the general thinks it is too small, even if I can't produce it now, I will sell my property after I go back and make up for the lack."

Sun Ce laughed secretly. "Five hundred gold is not meaningful, then just one hundred war horses. Write a letter and find someone to send it back. When will the war horse pass by Huangshui, and when will you let you go back?" He paused and chuckled softly, "If even your family thinks you are not worth a hundred horses, then I don't want to raise idle people, so I will just send you to the underworld."

Shen Rong's expression changed and he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Sun Ce waved his hand and asked someone to take Shen Rong to write a letter from home. Guo Jia smiled and said, "Is the general who let him go back to provoke the relationship between Shen Pei and Yuan Shao?"

"Do you think it's possible?"

"Yes, but it's not very effective. Yuan Shao needs Shen Pei to contribute his strength at this moment and will not use this matter to suppress Shen Pei at this time. On the contrary, Shen Pei may attack with all his might in order to avenge his shame." Guo Jia shook his feather fan. "But even if it doesn't work, it's no harm to let Shen Rong go back. Such a mediocre person is not successful enough, and has more than enough failure. He is so humiliated by the general. Maybe he wants to learn from Meng Mingshi and avenge his shame with military achievements. In this way, we may be able to capture him for the second time. The general has always been polite and kind, and this time he is so mean. I guess he has this plan?"

Sun Ce laughed and pointed at Guo Jia. "Nothing can be hidden from you. Yes, this person is a mediocre person, and it's useless to keep it. It's better to let him go back. If there are dates or dates, you can beat him." He laughed twice and said again: "His capture this time is related to Ju Su urging them to send troops in a hurry. Such people will not blame themselves, but will only blame others. So I think letting him go back may affect the trust of Ju Su's trust. Judging from the situation of Shen Rong's explanation, how much combat power Yuan Shao can exert is closely related to how much Ju Su can play. If he can pry a gap between them, how much Shen Rong is worthy of his mere sacrificing. Before Shen Rong leaves, you can find a way to remind him of this."

Guo Jia nodded. "Don't worry, General, this matter is for me."

Shen Rong quickly wrote the letter, and Sun Ce proposed a Shen Rong's personal guard from the captives and asked him to go back to deliver the letter. Before parting, Shen Rong pulled the personal guard to make a wish and begged, asking him to find a way to redeem him, otherwise he would be dead.

The personal guards did not dare to be negligent, so they hurried out of the camp, crossed the waters, and came to Shenpei's camp. He followed Shenrong's instructions and went straight to Shenhua's camp to seek his visit. Shenhua was worried about Shenrong's life and death. When Sun Ce learned that as long as he paid the ransom for one hundred war horses, he was overjoyed. He did not dare to notify Shenpei, so he discussed it with Shenjun and immediately replied to Sun Ce and agreed to the transaction. Although there were a lot of one hundred war horses, it was not a big number. He had five hundred personal guards under his command, and it was not a problem to draw out one hundred war horses.

Sun Ce's words must be fulfilled, and he handed over the horse with one hand and the other hand. He even did not verify whether the war horse was a real top-notch war horse, so he let Shenrong leave the city. After passing the water, he saw Shenhua waiting on the shore, Shenrong beat his chest and stamped his feet, pointed his halberd at Xinzheng's side, and cursed.

"Sun Ce bullies me too much. If you don't take revenge, you will not be a human being. Zhongxing, you go back first and I will go to see my uncle."
