Xu Shao escaped again, and Sun Ce's plan was not perfectly realized, which was somewhat regrettable.

However, the arrival of Du Xun and Guo Jia made up for this regret, one went and returned, and the other took the initiative to vote, which brought joy to Sun Ce far more than regret. Watching everyone carry Xu Shao down the city, Sun Ce was about to have a good chat with Guo Jia and Du Xian, but when he turned around, he found a lonely figure.

Chen didn't leave, he stood by the city wall, looking at the crowd hugging Xu Shao, looking lonely.

Sun Ce bowed his hand to Du Xian and Guo Jia, asked them to wait, slowly walked to Chen Zhi's side, and looked at it. "Don't look at it, everyone is gone."

Chen Zhi was taken aback, only then did he notice Sun Ce, and hurriedly took a step back and bowed.

"Do you still want to die?" Sun Ce smiled. "If you don't want to die, let's have a drink?"

Thinking of the scene not long ago, Chen Zhi was very embarrassed, and his face was flushed. Seeing Xu Shao's performance with his own eyes, he knew that Xu Shao was such a celebrity, and it was not Xu Shao who was wronged at all, but Sun Ce, and he actually wanted to seek justice for Xu Shao and find Sun Ce to compete, he was really confused.

"I don't know what is going on, I misunderstand the general, and I ask the general Haihan."

"It's not your fault, there are so many people who have been deceived." Sun Ce pointed to the crowd in the distance and waved his hand, not taking this matter to heart. He pushed Chen Dao's back and said, "Let's go, let's have a drink together, and then talk about whether you want to stay or not." By the way, where did you hear about my martial arts competition with Zhang Liao? I dare say, what you heard is certainly not accurate, and I'll tell you about it. ”

Chen Zhi didn't excuse himself, followed Sun Ce down the city, and came to the barracks together. Taishouqiao Rui Zhang Luo invited the scholars to go, and did not care about Sun Ce, Sun Ce arranged for someone to fetch some wine and meat, and sat with Du Xi, Guo Jia, and Chen Zhi. Guo Jia heard Sun Ce talk about Chen Zhi just now, but he was not familiar with Chen Zhi, since he was sitting together and talking, he naturally asked about Chen Zhi's family background.

Facing Guo Jia from Yangzhai Guo's family, Chen Zhi was obviously a little short of breath, and respectfully reported his family history. Runan originally belonged to the ancient Chen Kingdom, Chen is the surname of Runan, and Chen Fan, one of the three gentlemen, is a native of Runan, and Chen Zhi is a distant family. However, the Chen clan is huge and has different circumstances, Chen Dao's family belongs to the declining category, and Chen Zhi's family is a family heirloom with martial arts, and it is not ashamed of Shilin, so its reputation is not obvious.

Guo Jia nodded and said, "This is one of the reasons why I think Yuan Shao can't make it. ”

Chen Zhi didn't understand what he meant, but Sun Ce's heart moved, and he smiled: "I want to hear about it." ”

"No." Guo Jia bowed in greetings. "The general has just taken charge of Nanyang, and he should have seen the folk customs of Nanyang Emperor Township. Runan is not an imperial township, but Runan has fertile water and soil, suitable for farming, and is known for its solidity. This dynasty greatly promoted Confucianism, Runan is the first to lead the world, famous Confucianism has come out in large numbers, and there are countless heirlooms of metallurgy, and it has gradually become an important town in Shilin. Unlike other places, Runan was originally a Chu land, and the folk customs were originally fierce and aggressive, and after learning Confucianism, they did not change their generosity, were easy to discuss, and had a strong temperament, and it was no accident that the party was born from Runan. Chen Fan and Fan Fan are just the benchmarks among the people of Runan, and those who walk in a straight way are endless, and today they are just converging into a river, showing the surging momentum. ”

Sun Ce listened attentively. He knew that Runan had a large number of household registrations, that his influence in the government and the opposition was not small, and that there were also many well-known party members, but he did not know that the Runan people played a decisive role in the party. Even if there are some things recorded in the book, he may not be able to pay attention to them, and he may not be able to notice the feelings, and he is far less experienced than the people who are in them.

"Confucianism has brought opportunities for Runan people to enter the ranks, but it has also had a bad impact on Runan folk customs. Confucianism is important to etiquette, the meaning of the words is complicated, there is the dispute between the ancient and modern texts, and then there is the law of the teacher's family. Although the Yuan family adhered to the righteousness of the martyrs of Runan, raised troops in Hebei, and had the ambition to compete for the world, the Confucian habits were too heavy, and the famous men were valued lightly, and the reputation was raised, and the mind was all on the court struggle. Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Yuan Shao was defeated, rushed out, and now according to Hebei, he raised troops to fight against Dong, but still failed to learn a lesson, and the people who went to Hebei with him were all famous people in Ruying, but there were few people who knew the military, and it was not a special case for Shu Zhi to be missed, so there was no need to mind. ”

Chen Zhi thanked him politely, but Sun Ce was deeply touched. Guo Jia's trip to Hebei was not in vain, he saw Yuan Shao's weakness. Yuan Shao invited many famous men from Ruying and Ying, but none of them were able to command the battle, and the well-known generals under his command, such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Ran, and Lu Yi of Dapo Gongsun Zhan, who were known as the four court pillars of Hebei, were not from Runan.

Of course, this is because the people of Runan have more learning and less martial arts, but the root cause is that Yuan Shao's inertial thinking is causing trouble, valuing celebrities and despising martial artists. This is not a problem of him alone, but the atmosphere of the entire Runan Shilin, and it can even be said to be a common problem of the entire party. The warriors wanted to stand side by side with the party, but in the eyes of the party, they never left a place for the warriors, and felt that only they could govern the country and level the world. Liangzhou Sanming has made great achievements, maintained the stability of the frontier, and is also devoted to learning, Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan's knowledge are very good, but they have never been able to be cited as peers by the party.

Baume & Mercier may be able to strategize, but few can win in front of the battle. Liu Bang only has Zhang Liang to be of any use, without Han Xin to attack the city and plunder the land for him, and he was not beaten like a lost dog by Xiang Yu. The combination of civil and military use is the king's way, only strategists can not have good generals, and good generals cannot be reused.

For now, Chen Zhi's reputation is not obvious, and it can be said that it is just an example. Looking further ahead, during the Battle of Guandu, Zhang He and Gao Ran could not attack Cao's camp, but they simply surrendered to Cao Cao because they were afraid of Guo Tu's slander, and you can also imagine how unbearable the position of the military general under Yuan Shao's account was. If it weren't for the usual anger, there would be no trust at all, so why not.

"The world is in turmoil, and the heroes rise together, all think that they have the ability to compete with each other, but there can only be one person in the end. Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, Shandong Prefecture and County had hundreds of thousands of troops to fight Dong, Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, drinking high every day, never fought, only Sun Yuzhou and Cao Mengde dared to fight with Dong Zhuo, now Cao Mengde defeated Nanyang, his whereabouts are unknown, and Yuan Shao has no one who can fight. Even if there are thousands of iron riders, what can they do? General Sun's father and son are good generals, his father reported victory in Luoyang, and his son defeated in Nanyang, looking at the world, who is the opponent? Uncle Chen, the opportunity must not be missed, and the time will not come again. ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he pointed to the case with a smile on his face. "If it's in Hebei, you won't be able to enter this big tent."

Chen Zhi was stunned, and then he realized that Guo Jia said so much to persuade him to enter the scene. But think about it, how can there be him in Yuan Shao's eyes, Xu Shao is that kind of person, and his desire to attach to Yuan Shao is just a dream. Instead of this, it is better to follow Sun Ce, at least Sun Ce can value his talents.

Chen Zhi got up from the table and bowed in front of Sun Ce. "Chen is not talented, and he is willing to serve the general."

Sun Ce was overjoyed and hurriedly got up and helped Chen Zhi up. Guo Jia came well, he gave a big gift when he entered the door.
