Out of the tent, Zhang Fei pulled Guan Yu to find Huang Yueying, Liu Bei and Jian Yong stood by the lake, looking at the rippling lake, puzzled.

"Xianhe, you say...... What did General Sun mean by asking me to go to General Xu Zi? ”

Jian Yong didn't quite understand either. Sun Ce and Xu Shao have always been on good terms, Xu Shao is the way of Runan Shilin, and he is the spokesperson of the family in Taishoufu, Sun Ce now wants to rectify Yuzhou, and he will use thunderbolt methods, and it is almost inevitable that there will be a conflict with Xu Shao, why did he let Liu Bei go to Xu Shao? What deeds does Liu Bei have that he can do, and what kind of evaluation can Xu Shao give him?

No matter how you look at it, it's like a trap.

Or, is there a practical intention in this that Sun Ce can't clearly say?

"In any case, Xu Zijiang is still the leader of Shilin, and although the Yuedan Review is no longer done, his opinions still have a great influence among the scholars. If you really want to be the governor of a county in the future, it will also be helpful to get a good review from him. ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "Can I get his praise?" I don't dare to think about it. ”

"Xuande, don't be presumptuous, although your career is not yet successful, but your background is still good, better than that Cao Cao. Didn't Xu Zijiang give Cao Cao an evaluation, and it was not bad. It's really not good, you also learn from Cao Cao, put a knife on Xu Zijiang's neck, and see if he gives it. ”

Liu Bei glanced at Jian Yong and said faintly, "Maybe this is General Sun's intention." ”

Jian Yong smacked her lips. Honestly, that's what he thinks. Seeing that Jian Yong was in trouble, Liu Bei didn't say anything more. Jian Yong did not abandon him, and he was already grateful. Sun Ce was cunning, and letting Jian Yong guess Sun Ce's mind was indeed a little difficult for him.

Without a strategist, you can't fight this cunning Jiangdong raccoon. Liu Bei suddenly made a decision. I'm going to meet Xu Zijiang, it's a big deal like Jian Yong said to learn Cao Cao, anyway, I have nothing now, and I have nothing to fear of losing.

After waiting for a long time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came back. Zhang Fei looked excited, but Guan Yu was a little unimpressed, and the two argued as they walked. Liu Bei was puzzled, so he asked, only then did he know that Zhang Fei wanted to build a Zhangba snake spear, and the shape was weird, this length was too outrageous. Usually, the riding spear is about one zhang two or three, and no matter how long it is, it is only one zhang and five thousand. The longer the spear, the higher the requirements not only for the user, but also for the material. In order to maintain the hardness, it was often necessary to thicken the body of the spear, and to use an iron shaft, so that the weight of the spear would increase exponentially, beyond the scope of normal use. Zhang Fei has always wanted to build a spear, but no craftsman is willing to take on this job, which is the reason.

Now Huang Yueying can provide better materials and is willing to build a spear for him, but Guan Yu still feels unreliable and disagrees with Zhang Fei's excitement.

Liu Bei didn't say anything, he could guess what Guan Yu's psychology was. Zhang Fei has always admired Guan Yu and treats him as a brother, don't look at Guan Yu who doesn't say anything on the surface, in fact, he is very used by this feeling, and he also takes care of Zhang Fei on weekdays. Now Zhang Fei is more in awe of Sun Ce, so he naturally reduces his worship of Guan Yu. Moreover, the Zhangba spear is no longer a spear, but it is called a spear, which means that it is powerful and can be killed slightly. Immediately duel, one inch long and one inch strong, not to mention four or five feet long. When Zhang Fei gets this new spear, Guan Yu may not be Zhang Fei's opponent, and it is normal to feel a sense of loss.

What warrior doesn't want a divine weapon. Sun Ce's move is too ruthless, it goes straight to the point, and he can't refuse at all.

"Don't argue, you won't know the authenticity when the new spear is made. Yun Chang, don't worry, wait for your next meritorious service, and ask Master Huang to build a weapon for you. General Sun refused, I went to beg him, and it was a big deal that I would pay for it. Yide's spear can be regarded as a test of this Huang master's ability. ”

Guan Yu felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and showed a rare smile.

——

Sun Ce invited Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong's family also arrived in Gebei, and the family reunion in the past two days was a comfortable time. Hearing Sun Ce's call, he rushed to meet his son Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing is just a teenager, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Zhang Hong, but he is more juvenile. After saluting Sun Ce, he specially looked at Sun Ce's eyes, and then stepped aside, although his expression was respectful, it was out of etiquette.

Sun Ce saw it in his eyes and didn't say much. Young people, who is not a little proud, the Han people are originally conceited, Zhang Hong has only learned people, Zhang Jing is probably not weak, and he has the capital of pride.

Sun Ce showed Zhang Hong the list sent by Du Xian, and Zhang Hong was taken aback after reading it. "So much?"

"Yes, I didn't expect the Cao family to be so rich. A county is just powerful, and the family property is actually hundreds of millions. In contrast, Cai Yan can really be regarded as an honest official. Although the total amount of the Cai family's property has not yet come out, I estimate that it will not exceed 100 million, and it would be good to have 70 or 80 million. ”

Zhang Hong sighed. "Seventy or eighty million is not a lot, a family of five can have 100,000 family assets without worrying about food and clothing, and 200,000 is considered well-off. Ordinary people have a family property of only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan and have to pay all kinds of taxes, and these people sit on hundreds of millions of dollars but do not pluck a single hair, and the difference between the rich and the poor is so good, how can the social economy not be bad. These people are all moths, and the big man was gnawed by them to empty the foundation. ”

"The bigger the official does, the greater the harm to the society, which is simply a satire of Confucian ideals."

Zhang Hong shook his head. When the general said this, he was inevitably generalizing. The Cao family is a turbid current, so it will be so unscrupulous, and not all official eunuchs are like this. ”

Sun Ce smiled but said nothing. He didn't want to argue with Zhang Hong about this issue, and when the results of Yuzhou's rectification came out, he would naturally prove right and wrong.

"Sir, with this money and food, we can start the war against Jiangxia and Nanjun at any time, you can prepare, write another letter, send someone to Pingyu, tell Fengxiao, let him be prepared."

Zhang Hong agreed repeatedly. Anyway, this is good news. He also said: "General, the dog has come from Guangling to talk about his hometown, and there are two young men I would like to recommend to the general, and I ask the general to use it at his discretion, or if there is something available, I can write back and ask them to come and see the general." ”

Sun Ce was very happy. "Sir, I'm sure you won't be wrong with your eyes, don't discuss, please come here."

Zhang Hong thanked him, but he still asked Zhang Jing to roughly explain the situation of the two people, one is called Qin Song and the other is called Chen Duan, both of whom are young talents who have recently emerged in Guangling. They didn't look down on Tao Qian, and when they heard that Zhang Hong was reused under Sun Ce, they sent someone back to pick up their families, so they asked Zhang Jing to tell Zhang Hong, asking Zhang Hong to recommend him, and he was willing to work for Sun Ce.

Sun Ce rejoiced in his heart, this is the role of role models. Others don't know him Sun Ce, but they know Zhang Hong and believe in Zhang Hong's vision. He knew that these two people, they were both members of the Jiangdong Strategist Group, not as good as Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao, but they were also talents, but it was a pity that their lives were not eternal, they died too early, and their achievements were not achieved.

"Invite them to come. With their help, Mr. and Bonghyo can also relax and free up their energy to do big things. Although Ling Lang is young, he is reasonable and clear, so it is better to let him stay with me and help me consider the official documents. ”

Zhang Hong happily obeyed.
