Although they were both colleagues who fought side by side, there are differences between different people.

For Sun Ce, once peace could be restored to Chang'an and the Son of Heaven regained control of the government, even if it was only in name, it was inevitable that someone would leave Nanyang and return to his hometown, or accept the imperial court's conscription and become an official appointed by the Son of Heaven, the former represented by Du Ji and the latter by Zhao Yan. Compared with martial artists such as Huang Zhong and Wen Pin, they have more career opportunities, and they naturally have the most loyalty to him. It is impossible for him to erase their merits, not let the court know about them, and simply take them as the first credit and give them a good future.

It is better to stay, of course. Can't stay, the business is not benevolent, and if we meet again in the future, at least there will be a love of the old official.

As for Huang Zhong and others, he is relatively more sure. is also a martial artist, Huang Zhong, Wen Ping and others were all single-handedly pulled up by him, and under his command, he achieved a great victory in protecting Nanyang, and his feelings are by no means comparable to Zhao Yan and others. Besides, they have soldiers in hand, this is the biggest benefit, whether the court rewards it or not, and what it rewards, there will be no qualitative difference.

As for Huang Chengyan, he is the most reassuring one, Huang Chengyan follows him as a long-term investment, and will not change his mind because of temporary gains and losses. In contrast, it is more secure to hide Huang Chengyan, saving someone from looking for trouble and digging into the corner.

Zhao Yan is a smart person. He is different from Huang Zhong and others, he always feels that he has more choices, and following Sun Ce at the moment is just forced by the situation, and he must still go if he has a better opportunity. Sun Ce knew this, but he didn't set up obstacles for him, but took the initiative to promote him as the first credit, just for him to have a higher starting point for his career, and to compare his heart with his heart, not many people can do this.

Judging from the scale of this war, unless the imperial court must condemn Sun Ce as a rebel, the first merit is at least a county order, and maybe it can be higher. For the children of the family, the county order is not worth mentioning, but for a portal like him, unless there is a nobleman to carry him, the possibility of entering the county order is extremely low, and it is more likely to be a county official, a county official, and slowly accumulate merit and promotion, if it is fast, it will be three or five years, and if it is slow, it will be ten years, and then it will have the opportunity to become a county order.

Now, Sun Ce is his nobleman, how can Zhao Yan not be grateful.

Sun Ce didn't talk to Lou Gui and Du Ji again, and when the results came out, they naturally knew. He invited Huang Zhong and others to show them the revised credit book, and bluntly said that this was his own decision, without mentioning Zhao Yan for half a word.

As Sun Ce expected, although Huang Zhong and the others were a little surprised, when they saw that Sun Ce had decided, Huang Chengyan didn't even have a name, and they didn't say anything. They believed that Sun Ce had a reason to do so. And for them, although Zhao Yan, Lou Gui and others did not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, the credit was not small at all. Without them helping Sun Ce strategize, this battle would not have been so hearty.

Sun Ce then appointed Zhao Yan as the new field commander. Among the counties of Nanyang, Xinye is the county with the greatest influence of the family, the Yin family, the Deng family, and the Lai family are all famous families in the first half of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhao Yan is ruthless, and it is most suitable to use him to govern Xinye. From another point of view, appointing him as the Xinye Order now is also to improve his foundation, and in the future, the imperial court will reward merits, which will not be smaller than the Xinye Order.

At the same time, Sun Ce appointed Lou Gui as the commander and Deng Zhan as the commander of Huyang. These two important grain-producing areas must be in our hands. Deng Zhan is different from Huang Zhong and Wenpin, he has a good cultural literacy, and it is not a problem to be a county magistrate. He was also from the Xinye Deng clan, appointed him as the Huyang Commander, and commanded the headquarters to garrison Huyang, which was also to appease the Xinye Deng clan and avoid the escalation of the conflict.

Within half a day of Pang Shanmin's arrival, Sun Ce made corresponding adjustments to his subordinates. The others didn't know what was going on, but Pang Shanmin, who knew the inside story well, was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe that this was Sun Ce's own decision. Even if he thought about it for a long time along the way, the plan he made was not as thorough as Sun Ce's half a day.

After the arrangements were made, Sun Ce set off for Wancheng. He brought Cai Yong with him. This time he went to Wancheng, in addition to arranging some personnel, he had a more important task: to worship Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng was known as a scientist in later generations, but now, he is known as a Confucian, and the person who can help Sun Ce understand Zhang Heng's achievements is none other than Cai Yong, and even Huang Chengyan cannot be compared with him.

Cai Yong set off, and the two female disciples walked together. Qin Luo was already married and stayed in Xinye to accompany Huang Zhong for the time being, Yin Ji wanted to stay with Yin Duan, and Feng Wan and Zhang Zifu followed Cai Yong back to Wancheng. They are busy collecting loom materials and need Cai Yong's help to retrieve the classics. When there is no computer retrieval, Cai Yong, who reads a lot of books and does not pick his mouth, is both Confucian and Taoist, and even does not let go of the hundreds of schools, is undoubtedly a human-shaped bookcase, which helps the most.

Sun Ce accompanied Cai Yong to speak, and Feng Wan and Zhang Zifu sat on the side and listened. Seeing that Pang Tong's mind did not belong, Sun Ce gave Pang Tong a look.

"Shi Yuan, you go and bring the Jutan water that the elders of Lixian County gave me, and let Mr. Cai moisten his mouth."

Before Pang Tong could react, Zhang Zifu immediately heard Sun Ce's words. "General, just give Mr. a moisturizer, and don't let us taste it?"

Sun Ce frowned slightly. "You can give you a few dried wild chrysanthemums, but this chrysanthemum water is a rare thing, so I don't dare to send it casually. Let you drink it today, Qin Luo and Yin Ji know, don't you say that I am biased. ”

Zhang Zifu's small nose wrinkled. "Hmph, don't think I don't know, Sister Yin Ji won't talk about it, the wine that Sister Qin Luo drank when she got married was made with Jutan water, right?"

Sun Ce was "surprised". "You even know that?"

Zhang Zifu looked proud.

"Since you have broken it, you have to give some benefits to sealing. In this way, I really have limited inventory and can't supply it openly, you follow Shi Yuan to taste it, and bring some more to Sister Feng. Not much, I still have to bring some back to Achu. ”

"Okay, okay. Sister, let's go. Zhang Zifu stretched out his hand to pull Feng Wan, but Feng Wan smiled and shook his head. I won't go, I don't like the taste, I'll give it to you. ”

Zhang Zifu was overjoyed and got up with great interest, Pang Tong was still hesitating, Zhang Zifu was in a hurry, and pulled him away. Pang Tong woke up like a dream, and ran away with Zhang Zifu. Cai Yong raised his hand, pointed at Sun Ce, and scolded with a smile: "You, you brought Pang Shiyuan badly, and you actually did such a thing!" When I arrive in Wancheng and see Zhang Yuangong, I will definitely tell him about today's events. ”

Sun Ce smiled and said: "Mr. Cai, you said that you are really, how can you not see people well when you are old?" ”

"If you do this, it's good for Shiyuan, but it's fair for Zifu?"

"I didn't force her." Sun Ce spread his hands. "Although Shi Yuan is average-looking, he is talented and intelligent, and he will become a great weapon in the future. Although Zifu has a little temper, she is not a layman who judges people by her appearance. Besides, this ugly and beautiful is what it is, if you see it too much and get used to it, it doesn't make much difference. The glass is bright, after all, it's not jade, right? ”

"That's just as well." Cai Yong nodded in agreement. "Shiyuan is a piece of jingpu, carefully carved, and it will be a rare jade in the future."

Feng Wan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "General, how did I hear that the general's evaluation of Liuli is still above the beautiful jade?" Is it because people set up words and make intentions for things? ”
