Zhu Jun and Sun Ce, an old man and a young man, gave in twice with false affection, Sun Ce reluctantly accepted the knife, and divided one high-grade war horse and two medium-sized war horses, and the rest was swallowed by Zhu Jun. For him, who is seriously short of horses, medium war horses are also treasures. Before the Yellow Turban was pacified, a horse in Luoyang was fried to 2 million, and now even if it is discounted in two, it can be worth 500,000 yuan, which is enough for reward.

Zhu Jun was very satisfied, and asked Wenyun to arrange a banquet to entertain Wang Chang and others. Taking advantage of the gap, Zhu Jun and Sun Ce discussed the war. If God takes care of it, in another two to three days, all the rice in the vicinity will be harvested, and in addition to leaving the necessary rations for the nearby people, the grain that Zhu Jun gets can be used to feed his 40,000 troops for half a year, and the urgent need has been solved.

Zhu Jun was very satisfied, but Sun Ce sighed. The rice yield in this year was too low, with an average of less than 200 catties per mu.

With food, Zhu Jun planned to return to Junyi to relieve the siege for Yu Poison and the bitter chieftains, they had been trapped for a month, and they would soon run out of food, and it would be too late if they didn't save them. Sun Ce originally thought the same way, but he was reminded by Pang Tong just now, and he felt that it was better to be cautious, and not to really be a stepping stone for Yuan Tan to become famous.

Sun Ce told Zhu Jun about his worries. Of course, he replaced the person Yuan Tan wanted to defeat with Zhu Jun himself. In terms of reputation and qualifications, Zhu Jun is more suitable than him to be Yuan Tan's stepping stone, it depends on whether Yuan Tan has the courage to challenge Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun agreed, but he said that this battle was not a one-on-one battle with Yuan Tan, but a contest between the entire army. The strength of the two sides is almost the same, in terms of the quality of the soldiers, the money and food are sufficient, Yuan Tan is slightly better - he has the whole of Yanzhou as a support, while Luoyang is already in ruins, except for the rice that has just been robbed, there is nothing else; In terms of the ability of generals to use troops, they have a slight advantage. All things considered, victory or defeat is between the two, and it is advisable to fight quickly and not delay it for too long.

Sun Ce felt that Zhu Jun was confident. The command ability of the general is not a blessing floating in mid-air, as far as the rabble with loose military discipline under your command, let alone you, even if my ancestor Sun Wu is reincarnated, it is useless. Which general's first thing after taking over the army was not to strictly rectify military discipline and strengthen training? Do you think it's enough to have food and a few horses as a reward?

Sun Ce made a few suggestions and agreed to Zhu Jun's decision. He didn't give him a strong admonition, Zhu Jun had a hard temper, and he was a little self-righteous, and it was useless to say it with his mouth, just let him touch some nails. He still has an idea in his heart that he can't say to Zhu Jun: There is nothing wrong with defeating, maybe King Qin's matter can be delayed a little longer.

After finishing business, Sun Ce walked out of the big tent to breathe, although the tent door was opened, and the inside and outside were ventilated, after all, it was not as bright as the outside. Wang Chang and Wen Yun finished the delivery, and only three horses left for Sun Ce were left in front of the tent. Sun Ce stroked the horsehair and sighed secretly, I paid for it when I gave the gift, and I only took such a little when I received the gift, and I lost a lot. If it weren't for the fact that you Zhu Jun was my father's old master, I really didn't want to deal with you.

"Uncle Zhi, bring these horses back, leave that one for Mr. Zigang, and the remaining two for you to spare."

Chen was overjoyed, thanked him, and asked his men to lead the horse away. As Sun Ce's close attendant, Bai Yushi is not short of horses, but he lacks good horses. The big war is about to start, and there will definitely be losses in the war horses, and one can be replenished.

"General, that Wang Chang is Dong Zhuo's former official." Chen Zhi leaned over to Sun Ce and said softly.

Sun Ce turned his head to look at Chen Dao, and Chen Zhi said with a smile: "I just chatted with those horses who led the horses, and they said it." Dong Zhuo worked as a Hedong Taishou, that is, a few years ago, and left office because of the Yellow Turban. That Wang Chang was a subordinate of the Taishou Mansion at that time, and he was very familiar with Dong Zhuo's subordinates. Prior to this, Dong Zhuo had been doing a few years of assassination and state assassination, and it seemed that he had done a good job, so he was promoted to Hedong Taishou. ”

Sun Ce suddenly realized, no wonder Jia Xu and others would retreat into Hedong, it turned out that there was a mass base.

"General, Wang Chang's deputy Xu Huang is good, although he doesn't talk much, he is concise and to the point."

"Oh, there are talents in Hedong, this is normal." Before the words fell, Sun Ce was suddenly stunned. "Uncle Zhi, you said that Wang Chang's deputy is called Xu Huang?"

"Yes, Xu Huang Xu Gongming, a native of Yang County, is in his twenties, and he is a soldier in the county. Probably because he doesn't read much, there are many families in Hedong, and it is difficult for him to get ahead. Does the general want to invite him over? ”

Sun Ce patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder, very pleased. This is a good subordinate, not only dutiful, but also dedicated, always thinking about recruiting talents for his own master. "Uncle Zhi, you will get closer to him later, and ask him if he means this. If there is, I will go and ask Wang Chang for someone. ”

"Okay." Chen Zhi agreed.

Sun Ce finally spit out half of his sullen breath in his heart, if he could really recruit Xu Huang under his command, this business would not be a loss. Haha, I didn't expect Jia Xu to have a time when he was gone, and he didn't know what his mood would be when he saw Xu Huang again in the future.

Sun Ce was originally an optimistic person, but he unexpectedly got Xu Huang, and he was in a good mood, and he smiled when he saw everyone. Wen Yun arranged a banquet and sent someone to invite Sun Ce to the table, when Sun Ce arrived, Wang Changzheng and Wen Yun chatted, and the two literati talked very speculatively, smiling. As soon as Sun Ce passed, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Wen Yun was okay, he got up to greet Sun Ce, Wang Chang reluctantly said hello and lowered his head, even avoiding eye contact.

Sun Ce secretly laughed. Lao Tzu has seen a lot of celebrities, you. But for Xu Huang's sake, I don't care about you.

"It's hard work here, but I'll have to drink two more drinks later."

"Ahh Wang Chang snorted lukewarmly twice, smiling without smiling.

Seeing him like this, Sun Ce couldn't help it no matter how good his temper was. He smiled and said, "Can you ask your foot about something?" ”

Wang Chang thought Sun Ce was rude and rude, and he didn't want to talk to Sun Ce, but he couldn't refuse Sun Ce in person, so he reluctantly said, "General, please speak." ”

"What kind of family is the Wei family in Hedong Anyi?"

Wang Chang immediately changed his solemn expression. "Wei is the former dynasty Wenjingwu three dynasties after the important ministers of the three dynasties after the construction of the mausoleum, moved to the east of my river, farming and reading heirlooms, although the eunuch is not obvious, but the virtue of learning, the name of the township, is naturally good."

Sun Ce thought about it for a long time before he remembered who the so-called Jiande Mausoleum might be. "The Marquis of Jianling you are talking about is Wei Juan?"

"Of course." Wang kept a straight face, not letting his contempt be too obvious.

"Oh, it's him." Sun Ce disagreed. Wei Juan is a heavy minister, he will really put gold on his face. With the skill of making a car, although the official has done a big job, he has no merit and no virtue to tell, and he is just obedient. However, he was not interested in talking to Wang Chang about Wei Juan. "So, the Wei family is also a Confucian family?"

"Exactly, Wei's move to Hedong is precisely because Wei Wei was conscripted for Confucianism when Emperor Xiaoming, and died of illness when he arrived in Hedong, and the Son of Heaven gave him a special edict to bury him."

Sun Ce smiled and arched his hand. "I don't read much, I want to ask for advice, according to Confucian morality, this son is dead, how to treat the daughter-in-law who has no heirs? Cold-hearted, drive her out? ”

Wang Chang was speechless.
