Lu Su shook his hand again and again, and refused with a smile. "Su is poor and living in a remote area, isolated from the world, only knowing the ability to cultivate acres of ridges, self-cultivation and family, how dare you talk about such a major event in the world. The general asked, but Su was ashamed and didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't dare to mistake the general's big things. As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and toasted Sun Ce to apologize.

Sun Ce looked at him, pondered for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched, laughed silently, picked up the wine glass, and drank it with Lu Su. He put down his wine glass and said, "Zijing, although it is the first time I have met you, I have been friends for a long time, and it is like a friend at first sight. Today should have been a drunken party, but the military situation is urgent, and I can't drink bitterly. I don't read much, I have limited knowledge, and I only know a little about military matters. Guanzi respects the neat and tidy orchestration, the scheduling is well-organized, everyone here is extraordinary, there must be no shortage of masters, it is better to talk about martial arts, look at each other, in order to gain something, how? ”

"Only the general's orders are obeyed." Lu Su arched his hand and responded with a smile.

Sun Ce raised his hands and patted them gently. Everyone had been watching them, and when they saw this scene, they immediately put down the wine glass in their hands, sat upright, and listened to Sun Ce's words. For a while, there was silence in the hall, and countless pairs of eyes fell on Sun Ce's face.

"Gentlemen, Ce is also ashamed, although he has few ambitions, he thinks of serving the court, ranks as a minister, and leaves his name in history, but his intelligence is shallow, he doesn't know books, and he is not allowed to travel with scholars. Fortunately, he has a little courage and a rough knowledge of the art of war, and he is still able to take on the task of minions and settle one side. Today I am fortunate to have to drink with Zijing and all the gentlemen, I will not be able to sage the scriptures, and it is difficult for me to write poems to the sky, please forgive me Zijing and all the gentlemen. ”

Lu Su's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he bowed in greetings. "The general is modest, we are all vulgar people, if the general tells the scriptures and righteousness of the saints, and recites poems, even if he spits gold and jade, we don't know how expensive it is."

The crowd laughed. Most of the people here are martial artists, even if they have read books, they are only "The Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects", which are simple knowledge, and few have really read the scriptures. As a martial artist, he has a psychology of both envy and contempt for most readers. Envy is because of his poor learning, he can't climb high, and he despises him because many scholars have no skills except for a mouth, and even making a living is a problem.

Sun Ce thought that he had no knowledge, and regarded himself as a martial artist, which suddenly shortened the distance between them.

Sun Ce laughed loudly and gave up his hand again. "Thank you for your leniency. As the saying goes: the cloud is from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, only the hero can cherish the hero. If there is chaos today, it is the time to use force. When we meet today, I would like to meet friends with all of you and talk with each other. He turned to Guan Yu, nodded, and winked.

Hearing about the competition, Guan Yu was already itchy, but he thought that he was not Sun Ce's confidant, and he probably wouldn't let himself be the first to fight, and he was feeling regretful, and suddenly saw Sun Ce nodding to himself, and he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately got up and came to the banquet, holding his long beard with his left hand and gently pushing it outward, clasping his fists with both hands, looking around, and said with a smile: "Hedong Guan Yu is not talented, dare to ask the monarchs for advice." ”

Lu Su's subordinates looked at each other. As the saying goes, there is no loss in physical strength, this person is burly, and his strength is bound to be superior, and then think about his strange-shaped blade, whoever competes with him will suffer. If this is a martial arts competition, isn't it boring to find yourself?

Guan Yu looked around and saw that no one dared to fight, so he couldn't help but pout secretly, unable to hide the smugness between his eyebrows. Seeing this, Lu Su couldn't help frowning secretly. Although he had never fought with Guan Yu, he could see that Guan Yu's strength was not below him, and there was no one in the village who could fight against Guan Yu. What does Sun Ce mean by this?

Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. He smiled and said: "Gentlemen, Yun Chang's martial arts are superb, cutting the flag and capturing the flag like exploring the bag, the year before last, he followed me to fight in Yanzhou, made many meritorious contributions, and later helped my uncle pacify Jiujiang, beheaded Zhou Yu in a war, and then fought to take Yinling, he is a well-known hero." It's an honor to fight alongside him. ”

Everyone exchanged glances in surprise, Lu Su was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked: "General, this is the general who ambushed Zhou Yu in Shaobi, and drove straight into Yinling?" ”

Sun Ce smiled: "Zijing also knows? ”

Lu Su smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "Although Dongcheng is subordinate to Pi, it is actually closer to Jiujiang, I have a few friends who are from Jiujiang, how can I not know, it's just that I am clumsy, Yun Chang is here, I don't know, disrespectful and disrespectful." I'll punish myself with three cups. After speaking, he drank three glasses in a row, and toasted Guan Yu to apologize.

Guan Yu's eyebrows danced and he drank happily.

After they finished drinking, Sun Ce smiled again: "It seems that Zijing is not a person who closes his eyes and listens, but just stays out of the situation and watches from the wall, so he only knows one and does not know the other." ”

Lu Su arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the general for advice." ”

"Zijing only knows Yun Changyong, but he doesn't know Yun Changzhong." Sun Ce sighed with emotion. "Yun Chang is not my subordinate, he originally fought in Youzhou Liu Jun Xuande, although he suffered repeated setbacks, he never changed his will. Yun Chang's courage is rare, and Yun Chang's loyalty is even more rare. ”

Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and was very moved. The most embarrassing thing for him now is this matter, he didn't expect Sun Ce to take the initiative to say it, and praise his loyalty, it is simply too considerate.

Lu Su was surprised, looked at Sun Ce, and then at Guan Yu, and then understood why Guan Yu didn't answer his question directly when he was outside the fort. His heart moved, and then he understood Sun Ce's intentions, and said with a smile: "In my opinion, the most rare thing is neither Yun Chang's courage nor Yun Chang's loyalty, but the general's bearing. If it weren't for the general, who would be able to achieve Yun Chang's great loyalty? ”

"Ashamed, ashamed." Sun Ce said again: "Zijing, let me introduce you to another warrior." He clapped his hands and turned to look at Dian Wei behind him. This is Chen Liudianwei, who is filial to his mother, righteous to his friends, and loyal to his king, and can compete with Yun Chang. Good at making double halberds, there is a proverb in the army: there is a strong man under the tent, and a pair of iron halberds is eighty pounds. ”

Before the words fell, one of Lu Su's guests was a middle-aged warrior who shouted: "But to avenge your friends and kill Li Yong's Dian Wei in the downtown of Suiyang?" ”

Sun Ce glanced at the man and nodded. "I'm well-informed, and I seem to be a hero."

The middle-aged warrior hurriedly got up, picked up a wine glass, picked up the wine venerable placed in the banquet, strode in front of Dian Wei, knelt on the ground, scooped up a glass of wine, and sent it to Dian Wei with both hands. "I have heard about Dianjun for a long time, and I can see you today, and I am fortunate to have three lives. Dare to ask Dian Wei to drink this cup, and give me the honor of worship. ”

Dian Wei owes a salute. "Thank you, the strong man. It's just that Wei has a job and doesn't dare to drink. ”

Sun Ce said: "Zigu, it's okay, what danger can there be in Zijingzhuang?" Drink it. ”

"Whoa." Dian Wei answered, sat opposite the middle-aged warrior, took the wine glass, nodded in greeting, and drank it all. The middle-aged warrior was overjoyed, and served two cups in a row, but Dian Wei was late in one bite. After thanking him again, he retreated to his place and was silent again, like a cast of iron.

Lu Su couldn't help but be moved when he saw it in his eyes. "Dian Wei is loyal to his duties, and the general has some warriors to protect him, so he can sit back and relax."

Sun Ce smiled slightly and looked around. As Zijing said, this is a blessing. In addition to Dianjun, there is still Xu Zhongkang of Qian County under the account, I don't know if anyone here knows? ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, and one person stood up and said not very confidently: "What the general said, but Peiguo County Dahao, Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang, who is pulling the oxtail upside down?" ”

Sun Ceyun nodded lightly. "Yes."
