Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment, waking up like a dream, his face was feverish, and he was embarrassed. He originally thought that Sun Ce was deliberately making things difficult for Sheng Xian and wanted to punish him, but now he knew that Sun Ce really wanted to correct Sheng Xian's unreasonable concepts, such as the difference between civil and military. As a martial family, the Shen family especially can't accept this, but they don't have the strength of Sun Ce, nor the courage of Sun Ce, so they don't dare to challenge the family.

"General, I see." Shen Zhibai fell to the ground and reached out to take Sheng Xian's manuscript. "I'll go back and ask Sheng Jun to rewrite it."

Sun Ce motioned to Shen Zhi not to leave in a hurry. "Well, don't come next time, let him come by himself. There are some things that I can say, but you may not be able to say, and it is not good to be caught in the middle. ”

Shen Zhi was grateful. Sun Ce was too considerate of him, and it was really difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

"Pepin, what do you think about this matter?"

Shen Zhi smiled bitterly. He felt more deeply about this matter than anyone else. Why can't you read the art of war if you read the scriptures, and the martial artists are inferior? In terms of learning, he is no worse than those people, otherwise Sheng Xian would not have married his daughter to him. Just because the Shen family is familiar with martial arts, the Shen family has not been able to squeeze into the forefront in Wu County. The reason is very simple, if the family wants to get ahead, in addition to having strong financial resources, the most important one is to become an official. The official needs the support of others, especially the recommendation of the state assassin and the county guard. Because the Shen family is good at martial arts, these opportunities are much less than others, because the state and county often give priority to the Confucian scholars who have passed the scriptures, and intentionally or unintentionally skip the Shen family.

A family, no matter how industrious and thrifty it is, if it can't occupy a place in the officialdom, it will eventually be just a strong party and cannot quickly rise to the next level. Being an official not only has connections, but also makes a fortune faster. Taishou's official annual salary is 2,000 stones, which is equivalent to the income of five or six hundred acres of fertile land, not to mention other income. There are still good years and bad years for farming, but being an official is to ensure harvest in drought and flood. A 2,000 stone is equivalent to having 2,000 acres of fertile land, or even more.

Career obstruction is undoubtedly fatal for a family. This is especially true for a family like the Shen family, which was once among the forefront. The Shen family has also been an official over the years, but compared with the Lu family and the Gu family, they are much inferior in terms of number and rank, and the family has a tendency to fall in the middle. As the concubine of the Great Sect, Shen Zhi is under a lot of pressure.

"General, I don't agree with this point of view either, but the world is like this, and there is nothing I can do."

"Yes, the world is like this, and one person's strength is not enough after all, so I need more Junjie like you and Zizheng to help me change this bad atmosphere of valuing literature over martial arts. There are many talented disciples in Jiangdong, and there are many people with both civil and military skills, you and I are in the same boat, not only can we ensure the peace of Jiangdong, but it is not difficult to sweep the Central Plains and help the world. Thinking that Xiang Yu used Jiangdong's 8,000 disciples to destroy the tyrannical Qin, how majestic, although I didn't dare to compete with him, I believe that the Jiangdong children can also create brilliance, let those scholars in the Central Plains see what is the real scholar. ”

Shen Zhi's heart was itching, Sun Ce's words simply spoke his heart. What is Taxi? Those who have responsibilities are scholars. A scribe is a scholar, a samurai is also a scholar, who said that good martial arts are inferior?

Shen Zhi bowed down. "What the general said is very true, he is not talented, and he is willing to follow the general's side and follow the work of dogs and horses."

Sun Ce got up from the table, helped Shen Zhi up, and patted Shen Zhi on the shoulder. "Haha, it's still easy for peers to talk, yes, yes, it's not convenient, if there is a mistake, it must be changed, and if there is goodness, it must follow, unlike those old people who hold on to a few sentences and say poetry. Pepin, so to speak, the festival between us has been revealed? ”

Looking at Sun Ce's ridiculous eyes, Shen Zhi was very embarrassed and nodded again and again. "It's straightforward, offending the general, and please ask the general Haihan."

"Okay, okay, don't blame yourself, just don't let me pay for your door." Sun Ce clapped his hands. Liu Bin walked over and handed over a long knife. Sun Ce took the long knife and put it in Shen Zhi's hand. "Baihu Mountain and Shicheng Mountain, I will entrust it to Peping. Without further ado, you're off today. Sun Ce said, squeezing his eyes. I'll settle your father-in-law's affairs. I have a way to deal with these old masters. ”

Shen Zhi held the knife, overjoyed, he took a step back, and slammed it to the end, tears coming out of his eyes.

——

Shen Zhi returned to the big tent and relayed Sun Ce's words to Sheng Xian. Sheng Xian was silent for a moment, nodded, and handed over all the parts to Shen Zhi, leaving only two attendants. Shen Zhi is going to conquer the bandits, and he can't do it if he doesn't have a trustworthy tribe around him.

Shen Zhi thanked him and crossed the river with more than 100 people. Gan Ning asked Yang Hong to arrange a boat to take him to the other side. Sheng Xian stood by the river, watching Shen Zhi's figure get smaller and smaller, gradually disappearing into the vast smoke waves, and stood for a while before turning around and returning to the camp. He sat in the car, thinking about his thoughts as he walked, and the words that Shen Zhi conveyed kept circling in his mind.

I've become an old master who holds on to the inadequate?

Sheng Xian did not agree with the social atmosphere of emphasizing literature over martial arts, otherwise he would not marry his daughter to Shen Zhi. As far as the current situation is concerned, if Guo Yi and Wang Sheng were not so self-righteous, they would not have made such a major mistake, allowing Sun Ce to easily cross the river and cut off the back road. Facts have proved that civil and military affairs cannot be abandoned, and he has always felt that he is very open-minded, unlike those pedantic Confucian scholars.

He never thought that he would become an old master in the mouth of others, synonymous with stubbornness.

Shen Zhi didn't say it directly, but Sheng Xian understood. It can be seen from Shen Zhi's expression that he has been convinced of Sun Ce's five bodies. can make Shen Zhi admire him so much, Sun Ce must be outstanding. In fact, if you think about it, it is understandable, if he has no outstanding points, how can he come to this point, how can he make the Wujun family bow down.

With such an enemy, does the Huiji family still have a chance to win? When young people from Wu County like Shen You, Shen Zhi, and Zhu Huan fell to Sun Ce one after another, would the young people who knew how to do it also pay tribute to Sun Ce? These young people are full of achievements and ambitions, and they can't wait to soar into the sky, who can stop Sun Ce's demagogy?

"Phew—" The coachman suddenly shouted, breaking Sheng Xian's contemplation. The horse neighed, the carriage was pulled to a rickety, and Sheng Xian had to hold on tightly to the carriage to stabilize his body. Annoyed, he looked up and saw several carriages speeding from a distance, nearly colliding with his carriage. Both coachmen tried their best to hold on to the reins and control their horses.

"Where did you come from, in such a hurry?" Sheng Xian snorted angrily.

Yu Fan, who was in the opposite car, heard Sheng Xian's voice, looked up, and laughed: "Sheng Xiaozhang, why are you here, are you captured?" ”

Sheng Xian looked up, spat a mouthful, and scolded with a smile: "Yu Zhongxiang, who did I say, it turned out to be you a madman." Why are you in such a hurry, are you afraid that General Sun will not have your seat? ”

Yu looked up to the sky and laughed. "Say you're confused, you still don't admit it, I don't have an official to do it? That is, you old decay will cherish yourself. I'm going to compete with Sun Bofu, do you want to come and watch? This is a rare event, a rare event in a hundred years. ”
