The chrysanthemums of Licheng are very famous, it is said that drinking this chrysanthemum tea can prolong life, so Sikong Wang Chang - Liu Biao's teacher, so Taiwei Hu Guang - Cai Yong's teacher all year round drink this chrysanthemum tea, and enjoy a high age, so Taifu Yuan Kui's life span is slightly shorter, but that is not the responsibility of Licheng chrysanthemum, he was destroyed by Dong Zhuo, otherwise at least more than eighty.

Sun Ce is only sixteen or seventeen, and he has no interest in longevity, but in this era, there is no tea in the sense of later generations, and soaking in water with chrysanthemums is the closest. In winter, the fire is big, and you have to face Xu Rong's fierce rival, drinking some chrysanthemum tea to reduce the fire, which is also a good choice.

This time has been very busy, there is no free time, and now I have left Wancheng and is in the barracks, but I am suddenly idle. Although there are a lot of things in the barracks, it is still relatively simple, handle military affairs, pay attention to Xu Rong's movements at any time, and then talk about the art of war and martial arts with Huang Zhong, Wen Ping and others.

Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao fought dozens of battles, and they had a good time, and they no longer doubted Sun Ce's previous judgment. He also said that Zhang Liao's martial arts have not yet reached the peak, and in another ten years, he will have more experience, and his body and mentality will match, so that he can really enter the peak. At that time, he may not be Zhang Liao's opponent, he has lived fifty, his qi and blood have declined, and his martial arts have begun to decline.

Sun Ce felt that Huang Zhong was reasonable, and he was a little proud. At the peak of his life, he beheaded Xiahou and fought Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong should be grateful to him. Although Huang Zhong also killed Xiahou Yuan in history, he became famous too late, and he fought hard in that battle, and he died not long after, and he did not enjoy a few years of glory. Not now, he has at least twenty or thirty years left, and if nothing else, he can even live longer than in history.

It's time to become famous.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Ce fulfilled his duties as a matchmaker and solemnly recommended Qin Mu's sister Qin Luo to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong has married a wife, and the relationship between the husband and wife is good, but he has never given birth, so he is over forty years old and has no heirs. Sun Ce recommended Qin Luo, but Huang Zhong didn't even dare to say it. The Qin family is a strong man in Guanzhong, and his family background is much stronger than his Huang family, not to mention that he is a concubine. The implication is that even if his wife is infertile, he will not divorce his wife and marry another.

Qin Mu was a little embarrassed. Although his sister is a little older, after all, the identities and family backgrounds of both parties are there, and it is already yielding to be willing to marry Huang Zhong, how can she be a concubine.

Seeing this scene, Sun Ce didn't say anything more, this was a matter for the two of them, and it was better for them to handle it themselves. He brought the conversation back to martial arts. Although Zhang Liao ran away, his plan is not over yet, and he may not know when he will meet Zhang Liao again, it is always good to prepare early.

Huang Zhong knew everything and said everything, and he also personally studied with Sun Ce, simulating Zhang Liao's martial arts characteristics and acting as a sparring partner.

Sun Ce pondered it carefully, and did not dare to be careless.

A few days ago, when he mentioned this to Deng Zhan, Deng Zhan said something and he was deeply inspired. Deng Zhan said that martial arts is a matter of talent, such as strength, such as reaction, with these foundations, coupled with the guidance of famous teachers, and working hard, in order to practice a good martial arts. But after reaching a certain realm, you will encounter a bottleneck, if you want to break through this bottleneck, famous teachers can't help, and hard work may not be able to solve the problem, the key is to look at understanding. A person with understanding can understand everything and enter the realm of transformation from then on. People who don't have comprehension can't enter that realm even if they practice for a lifetime.

Deng Zhan said that Sun Ce's physical fitness has advantages, he must have strength and strength, he must react, Sun Jian enlightened him, and he is willing to work hard, so he can become a master at a young age, and even has encountered a bottleneck.

The comprehension is very magical, and Deng Zhan can't say it clearly, he just advises Sun Ce not to worry. At his age, it was already remarkable to have such martial arts. Many people will never reach such heights in their lifetime. If he wanted to go any further, he should probably read more. In the final analysis, comprehension is to touch the bypass and draw inferences from one another.

Deng Zhan also gave Sun Ce a suggestion, although the Tai Chi he practiced was very rude, it was worth studying. Rigidity and softness, straightness and curvature are originally complementary to each other. The vast majority of people's martial arts are based on rigidity and straightness, just like boxing and spear method, the comparison is who is stronger, who is faster, Taijiquan can overcome rigidity with softness, and fight slowly, which has a deep truth.

Sun Ce felt the same way. His understanding of Taijiquan is very superficial, and he still relies on the martial arts foundation of the Buddha-figure to do it with others, but the occasional application of Taijiquan's boxing intention can often achieve unexpected results. I often hear people say that Taijiquan is a reasonable boxing, and the emphasis is not heavy, and he has not really practiced Taijiquan, which does not affect him to apply the principles of Taijiquan.

Having said that, if he wants to really break the bottleneck, it will not happen overnight, he can only follow Deng Zhan's suggestion, calm down, and accumulate steadily.

With masters like Huang Zhong and Dian Wei as sparring partners, and martial arts masters like Deng Zhan to guide him, he believes that he can go further. But it's not enough to be a sparring partner, he also needs a rival with weight to bring out his potential.

Zhang Liao is obviously a good opponent, and he doesn't want to miss it.

His wish was soon fulfilled, and Zhang Liao went and returned, challenging him.

Sun Ce was in the middle of the battle, and with a stroke of his pen, he wrote four big characters on the battle book: Fight again in the future. At the same time, he said to the knight who came to write the war, I hope Wenyuan can learn his way back, and we can still be friends.

After receiving Sun Ce's reply, Zhang Liao was a little confused. If it was just to separate him and Duan Xuan, now that Duan Xuan had been defeated by Sun Ce, Sun Ce didn't need to mention this matter at all, and he said it clearly, and sincerely persuaded him to turn back.

Could it be that I remember wrongly, I had really met Sun Ce before, and I was like-minded with him?

At night, Zhang Liao sat in front of the tent, drinking and recalling his experiences over the past year, especially in Luoyang. He couldn't think of Sun Ce. It was strange and unreasonable, but he wasn't sure. So many things have happened in more than a year, the general He Jin died, the old boss also died, and died in the hands of Lu Bu, the palace was burned, Luoyang was burned, the first emperor died, the young emperor was established and abolished, Dong Zhuo became the prince, the world was in chaos, Shandong Prefecture and County begged for Dong, the momentum was announced, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye, which thing is not incredible?

Maybe I've really met Sun Ce, but I just feel ashamed of my old friend, so I don't want to think about it?

Am I wrong to vote for Dong Zhuo? Dong Zhuo used to be the pastor of the state, and now he is a Taishi under one person and above ten thousand people, so many important ministers of the imperial court, famous scholars and Confucians recognize him, why can't I admit it? If Lu Bu is a martial artist and treacherous for the sake of wealth and wealth, then what about the celebrity Wang Yun?

Zhang Liao sat alone in the tent, drinking wine one after another until the east was white.
