Sun Ce smiled dumbly, this result was beyond his expectations. But if you think about it, it makes sense.

There are only a few Confucian classics, there are not many contents, the difference lies in the different interpretations of each school, and there is no objective standard for this, you say you are reasonable, I say I am reasonable, it depends on whose interpretation sounds more reasonable. In view of Confucianism's admiration for the ancients, it is inevitable to quote scriptures and classics, and whoever reads more books will have the upper hand.

Although Cai Yan is young, her memory is surprisingly good. In the Xiongnu exile for more than ten years, she can still recite more than 400 volumes of Cai Yong's collection, a good word, now she has no worries about food and clothing, and it is the best time for her memory, it is estimated that Cai Yong's collection of books has been engraved in her mind, and it is more than enough to deal with Zhang Zhao. said it was a tie, but in fact, Cai Yan would be a man and save face for Zhang Zhao.

But Zhang Zhao is a great Confucian who has been famous for many years, and if he can't defeat a girl, he will lose. As for the failure to challenge Handan Chun and Hu Zhao, it was purely a faint move under a moment of anger, ancient writing was not his forte, and he was not as profound as these two in terms of calligraphy.

Sun Ce suddenly thought that Zhang Zhao was so calm about losing the wine of Runan County, and he was determined to make achievements in the position of Runan Taishou, wouldn't he be hit very hard, and he would give up his studies and make efforts in his career, right? If that's the case, find an opportunity to stimulate him again, and let the Runan family bear his full anger, and the effect must be good.

——

Ruyang City.

Ruyang ordered Qu Yin to stand on the city floor, looking at the dozen or so arrogant figures in the market, and his face turned blue with anger. Several city officials stood beside him, all wounded, and the city order was among them, half of his face was swollen, and the marks left by the slapping of the scabbard could be faintly seen. There were more than a dozen county officials downstairs in the city, they were holding bows and crossbows, and carrying knives, but no one dared to step forward to stop them, so they could only watch as the bearded people were full of food and drink, and left with a large bag of booty.

"Ming Ting, if you don't drive these people away, no one dares to come to this market, in just two months, people are injured by them almost every day, not only do the merchants not come, but even the sittings are closed......

"I see." Qu Yin snorted angrily, interrupting the city order's complaint. Although the city order had saved him face, he still felt ashamed. As a county parent official, he couldn't protect the people under him, and could only watch them being bullied by the bearded Hu people, with a hot face and shame. He took his hands and spun back and forth twice.

"Have you found out, which of General Yuan's subordinates is it?"

The city commander's eyes were terrified, and he didn't dare to say it explicitly, but just looked to the north. He was also very aggrieved in his heart. Does this county magistrate have a bad memory, or is it deliberate, this matter has been reported several times, don't you dare to offend Yuan Shao, you want to take me to the top cylinder, right? Although Yuan Shao is far away in Yecheng, there are really a lot of rangers in Ruyang under his banner. If it is known that he said it, it will not take two days for his head to be hung on the city building.

Qu Yin was even more depressed. Yuan Shao has a good reputation in his hometown, needless to say the family background of the fourth and third princes, the filial son who has been mourned for six years, and the leader of the world's descendants, which makes him have a lot of invisible power, and there are too many people who are willing to stand up for him, including Qu Yin himself. How could such a person condone the bearded man to bring disaster to the township? What's the matter with that Yingchuan celebrity Xin Bi, he left these people here and didn't care?

Qu Yin really wanted to go to Yecheng to complain, but Yecheng was too far away, and he might not have the opportunity to meet Yuan Shao. He wanted to arrest these people himself, but he overestimated the ability of these county officials. In the face of Hu Qi, who came and went like the wind, they were no match at all. If you really want to kill you, it's not that you can't catch these people, but once the contradiction intensifies and two hundred people break out, this Ruyang City is likely to suffer a greater disaster.

If you want to fight, you can only catch them all, and you must not break them all. He didn't have the ability to do that, so he had to call for help.

The nearest reinforcement was on the way. This matter can't be hidden, if you don't take the initiative to ask for help, once you are held accountable, he will inevitably die. Alas, I hope he can let me go for the sake of my official reputation and the fact that I am also from Jiangdong.

Qu Yin's mouth was bitter and he gritted his teeth. "Let's go, go and meet the rebel general."

In the scorching summer, it is best to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to escape the heat, rather than rushing to Chen Guo to meet Chen Wangzhong, but Sun Ce knows that time is pressing, and war may break out at any time, so he must race against time. Since Chen Wangpet has such an ability, it is necessary for him to contact him to see if he can be an ally. If it is possible, it is very suitable for him to face Zhu Ling, who is stationed in Chen Liu, and even become a general who blocks Yuan Shao.

If you want to defeat Yuan Shao, who is famous all over the world, you must seize every opportunity and unite all possible allies.

Besides, the soldiers have been practicing for more than two months, and it's time to go out and practice.

Sun Ce arranged the affairs of Runan, with Zhang Zhao as the Taishou and Huang Zhong in charge of the military affairs, and Sun Ce set off with his personal guards. The summer march is a severe test of physical fitness, Sun Ce chose to get up early, rest early, avoid the hottest time at noon, and bring more medicine and food to relieve the heat to avoid accidents.

From Pingyu to Chen, there was no need to go through Runan, and you could go directly to Chen County by crossing Yingshui in Nanton, but considering that Yuan Yao was guarding the tomb in Ruyang, Yuan Quan was very worried, so he took a little detour and stopped in Ruyang to let their sister and brother meet.

Sun Ce had a lot of worries, and he couldn't live in peace when he was in a hurry, so he discussed with Guo Jia and Jiang Gan while walking. He went to Chen Guo this time not only to see Liu Pet and ask for advice, it was just a trivial matter, he had a more important task. Guo Jia has received the news that Yuan Shao sent Yuan Tan to preside over Yanzhou, with Liu Bei as his deputy, and it seems that they are dealing with the Yellow Turbans that are overwhelming, but their main target is definitely Yuzhou.

Without Cao Cao, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban offensive was like a tide, and even the summer heat could not stop their advance. Yuan Tan came, and he didn't know if he could curb their momentum. But in any case, the Suishui defense line must be strengthened, whether it is Yuan Tan, Liu Bei or the Yellow Turban, they cannot enter Yuzhou without permission. The autumn harvest was imminent, and he didn't want the year's harvest to be ruined in their hands.

What he is most worried about now is food, no matter how strong his strength is, no matter how good his weapons are, no matter how much money he has in his pocket, he can't live without food. What's more, he still has a large number of refugees to migrate to Jiangnan. The food supply along the way, the settlement of the home, and the seeds planted, all need to be backed up by a large amount of grain reserves. Buying from Xuzhou is only a last resort, and if you can solve some of it yourself, it is the most cost-effective option.

Jiang Gan said while fanning the wind with his sleeve: "General, this time I should clean up the cavalry brought by Xinbi, and I can't let them act as Yuan Shao's eyes and ears." Yuan Tan is here, and these people will definitely contact Yuan Tan. ”

"What Ziyi said is very true, these people have become a scourge, and the opportunity is ripe to take action." Guo Jia smiled and gently shook the horsewhip in his hand. "Xin George eats and drinks in Wancheng, and he has to pay a price, so that he can't go back to Yecheng."
