Full of wine and food, take advantage of the pleasure to return.

It was already midnight when I returned to the camp, and everyone except the soldiers on duty had already rested. The camp on the shore was quiet, and the boats along the river were dark, except for one boat with the lights on. Sun Ce couldn't help but be a little strange, and called the soldier on duty, only to know that it was Wei Teng. Wei Teng is a Huiji person, accustomed to taking a boat, and knows that he is not Sun Ce's cronies, so he consciously keeps his distance and does not live in Sun Ce's Chinese army camp.

Sun Ce took Guo Wu to Wei Teng's ship. Hearing the sound of footsteps and feeling the hull shaking, Wei Teng poked his head out and took a look, and was very surprised to see that it was Sun Ce. "The general came in the middle of the night, what advice do you have?"

Sun Ce said with a smile: "Do you come out and say, or I go in and say, you can't say it through the window." ”

Wei Teng turned to look. "I'll go out and talk, the smell of lamp oil in the cabin is very strong, I also want to go out to breathe, and I'll be ready to rest later."

Sun Ce responded, turned around and came to the bow of the boat. Wei Teng tidied up in the cabin, bent down and walked out, shaking his clothes, and came to Sun Ce's side. The moon is in the middle of the sky, reflected in the river, sparkling, and has its own quiet and peaceful. Wei Teng exhaled and looked at Sun Ce again.

"The general has drunk a lot of wine, so he is not afraid of danger?"

Sun Ce smiled. He knew that Xu Chun wanted to be against him, but not now. Xu Chun is still a little self-aware, knowing that his family's hundreds of songs are not the opponents of the righteous battalion, and he will not act rashly. He invited him to attend the Lantern Festival in Shangyuan two days later, so naturally he needed time to dispatch people. He also wanted to take this opportunity to attack Xu Chun, but there was no need to talk to Wei Teng.

"Why didn't Wei Jun go to the banquet?"

Wei Teng chuckled, put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and admired the bright moon that was about to be full for a while. "Unrighteous wealth and nobility are like clouds to me. I also know a little bit about the story of the Xu family, although I don't make it, I don't care to be with it. ”

Sun Ce said with a smile: "Are you talking about the story of Xu Wu's fortune, or did Xu Hu attach to the eunuch later?" ”

Wei Teng turned his head to look at Sun Ce, snorted, and turned around to return to the cabin. Sun Ce smiled: "Wei Jun's heart is empty? ”

Wei Teng stopped and said angrily: "General, the Tao is not the same. I'm middle-aged, lazy, I'm afraid I can't change it. If the general dislikes it, it's a big deal that he doesn't get along with each other in old age, why do you come to entertain me in the middle of the night? With this time, you might as well rest early, and I might as well read two more sections. ”

"What books do you read?" Sun Ce was not angry, and said slowly: "You are from Shangyu, let me ask you a question." I heard that Shangyu's Yu is related to Emperor Shun, is there such a thing? ”

Wei Teng's expression slowed slightly, and he turned back. "Therefore, the old legend that Shun avoided the Danzhu rebellion here, whether it is true or not, it is not easy to say." He pondered for a moment, and then said: "However, there are also many legends about Danzhu in Yuzhang, Danyang and other places, and there are occasional records in the classics, but there are different opinions, and there are many differences, which are difficult to believe. Ancient things, even the saints can't say clearly, I have shallow knowledge, I dare not mislead people, why don't the general ask Yang Dezu for advice, these things are recorded in the book. ”

"Their family is studying the current literature and books, holding on to those few articles, and in addition, they don't want to recognize a word, let alone these wild old legends." Sun Ce thought for a while, and then said: "Wei Jun, have you ever thought that when Yao Shunyu was in time, there were no words, depending on the knotted rope, and all the stories were oral legends?" ”

Wei Teng shook his head, dismissive, not even interested in rebutting.

Sun Ce smiled, and then said: "Wei Jun, don't forget, the text has always changed, before Qin, the six countries had different characters, which one do you say was made by Cangjie?" Can a man-made text make such a big difference? According to common sense, this Cangjie character is probably not very reliable, and it is not as credible as Shun Shun Danzhu. ”

Wei Teng pondered for a moment and turned his head to look at Sun Ce. Although the general's remarks are deviant, there is some truth in them. Beyond that, is there any evidence? ”

"Wei Jun believes in my nonsense as a martial artist?"

"I don't believe it, but I might as well listen to it."

"Does Wei Jun know the holy word?"

Wei Teng snorted, ignored Sun Ce, and after a while, he was thoughtful again. "The Sage, the left ear and the right mouth, but it is a bit of a word of mouth. If this is the case, the old legend may not be uncredible, at least it can make up for the lack of scriptures. The saint has clouds, and the courtesy is lost and seeks the wilderness, is this the truth? ”

He turned around suddenly, looked at Sun Ce, and said in a cold voice: "Is the general trying to make a fool?" ”

Sun Ce was stunned, inexplicable. "What's the weft?"

"The general raised Shun to avoid the story of Danzhu, didn't he want to use the past as a metaphor for the present? Although I have a family tradition, I am not good at studying, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help the general. ”

Looking at Wei Teng, who was full of righteous indignation and was ready to be generous at any time, Sun Ce suddenly realized that he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Wei Teng is right, this does sound like a conspirator is creating public opinion in this conspiracy of his own. Shun avoids Danzhu, he avoids the court, and uses the past as a metaphor for the present, isn't this the most commonly used method. It's a pity that Wei Teng didn't have this interest, so he refused at once, although he was pedantic, he had some backbone and courage, and he was replaced by those soft-boned literati, at this moment, I was afraid that he would already understand it and draw inferences.

Of course, it may also be that his strength is limited, and Wei Teng doesn't want to be buried with him.

Sun Ce looked at Wei Teng with a smile. "If this is a pretentious prophecy, then does Yuan Shao's sentence 'Zhan Wu stop, in whose house' counts, or is it more credible because of the Book of Songs?"

Wei Teng wanted to speak and stopped, struggled for a while, and said earnestly: "General, although my father and son studied the Wei Wei, the Wei Wei theory is not completely credible, and Wang Mang's rebellion has proved that the revolution will only bring disaster. At that time, Gongsun Shu thought that he had inherited the mandate of heaven, competed with Emperor Guangwu, and finally died and died. Foolishness is a general's plan, Dou Rong can be effective, but Gongsun Shu is not effective. ”

Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Two days ago, Lu Gong asked me a similar question, do you know how I answered him?"

Wei Teng shook his head. He knew that Lu Kanglai had communicated with Sun Ce, but he was not Sun Ce's close minister, so he didn't know what they talked about. Lu Kang is an old minister and a loyal martyr, but Lu Yi is by Sun Ce's side, and he doesn't know if Lu Kang will change his mind because of the future of his family. Such examples are not rare, and can even be said to be countless.

Sun Ce roughly repeated his and Lu Kang's words, and finally looked at Wei Teng and said, "Are you satisfied with this answer?" ”

Wei Teng sighed. "If the general can keep his promise, this is a blessing to the world. Although I, Wei Teng, can't compare with Lu Gong, I am willing to serve the general and make a modest contribution to the stability of Jiangdong. It's just that this story of Shun avoiding Danzhu should not be told in the future. ”

Sun Ce sighed. "I just wanted to gossip with you, I didn't expect you to think so much. Okay, let's not talk about that, do you know Shanyue, can you introduce me to the situation? ”

Wei Teng stretched out his hand to invite. "Please come with me, General."
