The war is imminent, and Sun Ce is not worried about the navy outside the manor. In terms of head-on battles, the mobs under Liu Biao's command cannot be compared with the elite soldiers given by Sun Jian. He is most worried about the Cai family in the manor.

Although nearly a thousand family members were transferred to the camp and Cai Ke married Sun Fu again, Sun Ce was not sure what Cai Feng thought. If the fierce battle was in full swing, Cai Feng suddenly turned against him and became a elbow. Even if there were only a few dozen people, Cai Feng would have the chance to kill him. At that time, Sun Jian would only be a mute and could not say what he had to do.

Originally, he wanted to eliminate the roots and eliminate future troubles, but considering that the impact was too great and it was not implemented in the end. The most urgent task was to make the Cai family stand on his side willingly and realize that even if they wanted to redeem their sins, Kuai Yue would not give them this opportunity.

The hearts of the people are separated from the belly. The Cai family may not know what Kuai Yue thinks. The competitive relationship between the two sides exists objectively, and the plan of disagreement has a basis for implementation. Seeing Cai Ke's expression that he wished he could eat Kuai Yue, Sun Ce knew that his goal had been achieved by half, and he still provoked him a few words. Cai Ke couldn't wait for Sun Fu to come back and stood up to discuss with Cai Feng.

It was not long before Sun Fu came back, his face was pale and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Seeing that Cai Ke was not present, he didn't have time to ask.

"Bofu, what should I do now? We have no ship and are trapped on the continent."

Sun Ce frowned. "Brother, is it necessary to be so nervous? Are you not afraid that your sister-in-law will say that you are not scheming and not steady enough?"

"Uh..." Sun Fu was speechless and sat down embarrassedly. "Where has she... gone?"

"She went to discuss with the owner of the old man Cai." Sun Ce signaled Sun Fu to sit down. "Brother, don't worry, we now have more than 3,000 people, and the Cai family's staff is enough to defend the Cai family for half a month. In a few days, Ah Weng will send troops to help. At that time, you and I will defeat Liu Biao and capture Xiangyang. You and I will be the first contribution."

Sun Fu was stunned for a moment, nodded repeatedly, and his complexion became much calmer.

"Brother, you have been with me, Aweng for many years and have more experience than me. You may have to work hard this time."

"It should be, it should be."

"Don't worry, the sky cannot fall." Sun Ce got up, walked behind Sun Fu, pressed his hand on his shoulder, and gently pinched it. "Take out a real man's spirit and let your sister-in-law see your majesty." As he said that, he gently kicked Sun Fu's waist with his toes, and then attached it to Sun Fu's ear and whispered: "Otherwise, your waist will not be able to stand up in the future."

Sun Fu raised his head and rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, I'll definitely do it."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

——

After hearing Cai Ke's words, Cai Feng's gray eyebrows were twisted into lumps.

He was not Cai Ke, and he could hear what Sun Ce meant, but he could not deny the possibility that Sun Ce said. The Kuai family and the Cai family were both powerful people whom Liu Biao relied on. It was impossible for both sides to live in harmony, and fighting was inevitable. He was able to be polite before because there was no chance. Now that the opportunity has come, Kuai Yue has set up the Cai family and there is a possibility of completely defeating the Cai family.

Cai Feng did not hate Kuai Yue. If the Cai family seized the opportunity, they would still attack the Kuai family. But this does not mean that he stretched out his neck and let Kuai Yue chop it. Even if Cai Mao was killed by Liu Biao, he had to resist.

Besides, Sun Ce may have another meaning when reminding him like this: Don’t act rashly, I’m guarding against you. Whether Sun Ce can deal with Kuai Yue is easy to deal with the Cai family. If he wants to seize the opportunity, he will kill the Cai family without hesitation. This suspicion is that a sword will always be hung on the Cai family.

"Call Guoyi."

"Here." Cai Ke went happily. Not long after, she dragged Sun Fu to Cai Feng.

"Sit." Sun Fu took his seat, bowed, his waist straightened, and his eyes were bright. Facing Cai Feng, he felt a little guilty, but he remembered what Sun Ce just said very clearly, and refused to give up his face in front of Cai Ke, so he could only hold on. Cai Ke was happy, sitting beside Sun Fu, with his eyebrows and eyes smiling.

Cai Feng sighed secretly. Sun Fuzhen is not a suitable son-in-law, but now that things have come to this point, it is useless to say more. He can only find ways to enhance his strength and make a future for his daughter.

"The Jingzhou Navy arrived, but there was no need to be nervous. Jingzhou has been in peace for a long time, and the navy has neglected training, and Kuai Qi has no experience in using troops, so he can only pretend to behave."

Sun Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

"Nevertheless, you cannot slack off. It is good to seize the opportunity to make some contributions. Since my daughter has married you, my Cai family will fully support you." Cai Feng clapped his hands, and several strong men walked in from outside and stood at the steps. "These are several leaders of my Cai family's army. From now on, they will obey your command. They are familiar with the terrain and their martial arts are also good. You can discuss with them if you have anything."

Sun Fu was overjoyed and was about to get up to greet him. Cai Ke gently pulled the hem of his clothes. Sun Fu understood, sat down again, and nodded reservedly.

"Sun Bofu is General Sun's eldest son, and General Sun's family business will be inherited in the future. Although General Sun values ​​you, he is just an uncle after all, and your family business can only be earned by you. My daughter's happiness is also entrusted to you. Don't let her down. Young man, work hard!"

"Here." Sun Fu quickly responded loudly, and was full of enthusiasm.

——

After getting Sun Fu's reward, look at the officers of the Cai family's army behind him. Sun Ce knew that the possibility of the Cai family stabbing in the back was infinitely close to zero. He called Huang Zhong and Lin Feng to work with Sun Fu to determine the responsibility for the defense zone.

With the Cai family's army, Sun Fu now has more than 2,700 people, accounting for 70% of the total force. Sun Ce handed over the defense of the periphery to him, mainly responsible for the main gates of the four manors and responsible for the main tasks of the battle.

Huang Zhong has 1,200 men, accounting for 30% of all troops, and is responsible for the safety of the manor. Once an enemy attacks the manor, Huang Zhong will be responsible for the blocking. When necessary, Huang Zhong can support Sun Fu and be responsible for the counterattack task.

Lin Feng led Yibaiyi to be responsible for Sun Ce's personal safety, and the control range was the entire atrium. Anyone who entered and exited this yard must undergo Lin Feng's inspection, otherwise he would be killed. In order to avoid being mixed with people, except for Cai Feng's father and daughter, everyone else lived in another courtyard, and it was not allowed to enter.

The task assignment was stopped, Huang Zhong and Lin Feng agreed with the promise, but Sun Fu was a little nervous. Although he had fought with Sun Jian for many years, it was the first time that he had personally led the troops to fight. Sun Ce gave him the combat mission on the periphery, and he was not sure at all. But in the face of so many years, he could not show his fear, so he could only look at Sun Ce with a begging look.

Sun Ce knew it well, waved his hand to signal Huang Zhong and others to retreat, then he then held Sun Fu's shoulder and whispered: "Do you feel unsure?"

Sun Fu licked his lips. "Yes...yes, it's a little."

"Don't be afraid, everything is the first time. It's your first time, and it's also the first time for Kuai Qi. I guess he has never seen blood. Everyone is newcomer, who is afraid of who?" Sun Ce smiled. "Let's go, I'll accompany you to walk around and make a strong voice." He turned around and shouted at the courtyard next door: "Sister-in-law, are you interested in going around?"

Cai Ke showed half a slightly red face from behind the door. "Isn't this... suitable?"
