Chen Wen is a native of Runan, and he is a little celebrity, so he naturally falls in love with Yuan Shao and does not take Sun Ce in his eyes. Guo Jia is very disdainful of this kind of people and denounces them as stupid.

"It's not a pity for Chen Wen to die, don't ruin Jiao Zhongqing, assassination is not his advantage." Sun Ce said: "You have to pay attention to the cover for him. ”

"Don't worry, general, even if you are willing, I am reluctant. Cultivating an Assassin is a few months at most, but a good detective requires talent, and it is not something that anyone can do if they want to. ”

"Makes sense." Sun Ce laughed.

Jiao Zhongqing went to Luoyang to file a complaint, and after he came back, he accepted Guo Jia's invitation and became a Lujiang explorer. Because he left his post without permission, Cang Cao's position has been lost, he needs a source of income to support his family, and he wants to complain about Lu Kang, this task is right in his arms, and he is very active in his work. Guo Jia was very satisfied with him, and he had been promoted to the person in charge of Lujiang, and entrusted him with the intelligence collection work of the entire Lujiang. In order to protect him, he did not involve assassination, lurking and other private matters, but all kinds of information above board, summarized and summarized by letter, and reported to Guo Jia in time, even if Chen Deng knew, he was helpless.

Regarding the position of Yangzhou Thorn History, Sun Ce felt that it was better not to participate for the time being. His current tactic is to defend and counterattack, lure the enemy to the territory of Runan as much as possible, and take the initiative to fight for Yangzhou Assassin History, which is contrary to the established tactics and has no practical significance. It's not that you can control Yangzhou with the seal of Yangzhou Thorn in your waist, you also need to have strength.

He has the seal of Yuzhou Mu in his waist, what can he do? Most of the families in Yuzhou are still not birds.

"By the way, have you found Xu Jing's whereabouts?"

"I found out, in Wu County, attached to Xu Gong, the governor of Wu County, the days under the fence are not comfortable, and he has the possibility of coming back."

"It's better if you're willing to come back, and it's not reluctant to come back, it doesn't matter to us. You focus on the Taishou and important officials of Yangzhou counties, and we will take Yangzhou in the future to prescribe the right medicine. ”

"I understand."

Sun Ce and Guo Jia have always spoken in a few words, concise and clear. After exchanging the situation, the two started gossiping. Seeing Xu Chu and Dian Wei surrounded Huang Yueying respectfully, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh.

"General, Master Huang is very popular."

"That's earned by her skills." Sun Ce was very proud. After the father and daughter of the Huang family took charge of the Nanyang iron official, they combed through the information of the past dynasties, and naturally discovered the importance of temperature to ironmaking, and then communicated with blacksmiths from all over the world, and integrated a series of technical means scattered in the hands of each person such as quenching and carburizing, and after a large number of tests, they have initially mastered the research direction and stood at the peak of weapon manufacturing in this era.

There is no martial artist who doesn't like swords and blades, and with such a unique skill, it is difficult for Huang Yueying to be unpopular.

"A woman can also make warriors like Xu Chu and Dian Wei bow down, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who would believe it."

"This is the bright road for scholars." Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and laughed. The father and daughter of the Huang family are the benchmarks he has set, and of course he needs to spare no effort to publicize, and it is for this purpose that Huang Yueying shows up. Social development needs intellectuals, but not the kind of intellectuals who read two sentences and claim to be descendants of saints.

"It's not easy to change customs, and it's hard to get results without ten years of effort." Guo Jia said faintly: "The general has such patience, not everyone has such patience. ”

Sun Ce said with a smile: "So we all have to live longer, control the situation, be a good helmsman, don't let the big ship that has just set sail deviate from the direction, let alone let the pirates rob it." ”

Guo Jia laughed, bent his arms, and showed off his embryonic biceps. "General, I'm very strong now, and half a hundred will not be less in a year."

"You and I have been working together for 50 years, what wind is still unshakable, and what customs can't be easy?" Sun Ce crossed his waist with one hand and raised it high with the other, making a great man's posture. "Fifty years, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky. Look at the romantic characters, all in the present day. ”

"Yo, the general is so imposing, let's cheer together."

Behind him came a mocking chuckle and crackling applause. Sun Ce turned his head and saw Yuan Quan leading a group of half-grown children and pushing a deer cart over. There were four buckets on the deer cart, and the buckets were filled with mung bean soup and hu cakes. The weather is hot, the soldiers will sweat even if they take off their shirts and practice, Yuan Quan and Mrs. Wu discussed, and took Sun Quan and others to make mung bean soup and Hu cakes every day to add meals to the soldiers, although each person only has a bowl of soup, a piece of cake, but it is deeply popular, Sun Quan and others are also very happy, this is as a relaxation after homework every day, and they are never tired.

"Zhongkang, Shuzhi, let the soldiers rest, it's time for afternoon tea."

Xu Chu and Chen Zhi responded and ordered the righteous servants who were practicing to rest. When those soldiers saw Yuan Quan and others coming, they had already watched with amazement, gave an order, and immediately gathered around, lined up to receive food, and then squatted in groups of three or five in the shade of the trees and in the corners of the wall to eat and drink, talking and laughing while eating, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Yuan Quan came to Sun Ce with a bowl of soup in one hand and handed it to Sun Ce and Guo Jia. Guo Jia bowed in thanks, took it with both hands, and squeezed his eyes at Sun Ce. "General, I'll go get a cake, do you want it?"

Sun Ce motioned for him to take care of himself. Guo Jia went to fetch the bread is fake, and it is real. Sun Ce took a sip of the soup and praised: "This soup is good, salty and suitable." ”

"I used new salt from Xuzhou, I did an experiment, and I specially weighed it."

"Xuzhou's new salt has arrived?" Sun Ce took another sip and tasted it carefully. Different salt salinity is different, and it usually takes several adjustments to grasp the precision, and Yuan Quan can use it so accurately for the first time, it is really hard work, and it is by no means based on feeling. "How did you do that?"

"The test method that Achu said, the same soup is served in ten bowls, with different amounts of salt, and tasted one by one to select the best taste."

Sun Ce smiled and gave a thumbs up. "Sister draws inferences from one another, and can use Achu's iron-making method in cooking, master."

"Cooking is also the way, processing ingredients, blending the five flavors, and the slightest negligence will make the taste very different, no worse than ironmaking."

Sun Ce sighed and scratched his eyebrows. "It's good, I'm just worried that I'm used to eating my sister's food, and I won't be able to adapt to the food in the army in the future."

Yuan Quan smiled but said nothing, turned around and walked towards the deer cart. The soldiers gathered in front of the deer cart saw it and gave way one after another, and Yuan Quan walked half way and turned around. "By the way, Mr. Zhang Zibu is back, and he is taking a bath and resting, so that people can wait for the evening to cool down before talking to you. Sister Yin also came along, and there were two people with her, guess who? ”

Sun Ce couldn't cry or laugh. Just say it, what kind of thing to sell, hang people's appetite, and say that half and half are the most annoying.

Having said that, Sun Ce didn't dare to wait until the evening to see Zhang Zhao again, he explained the training matters and hurried to the post house with Guo Jia. Zhang Zhao had just finished bathing, wearing his hair and open his arms, sitting in the hall to enjoy the coolness, gossiping with Zhang Cheng, but Sun Ce and Guo Jia broke in, and they were suddenly a little flustered, and hurriedly pulled up the placket, and asked the little slave who was waiting with him to take the clothes.

Sun Ce laughed and motioned for the little slave not to come over. "Gong Zhang, gentleman Shendu, you are against the teachings of the saints."

Zhang Zhao couldn't laugh or cry. "General, this is my private room, and you broke in without notice, but you called me rude?"

Guo Jia smiled and pointed around. "Gong Zhang, this is a hall, not a room. If the name is not right, it is not good. ”

Zhang Zhao was speechless, simply raised his head, and put on a look of being a kid.
