As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. Ling Cao and Gan Ning had a fight, but they became good friends. The two washed their bodies, changed into clean clothes, and then spoke in front of Sun Ce. Ling Cao didn't bring any clothes, Gan Ning found him a set of battle robes, the two of them were of the same size, but they also fit.

When they were changing clothes, Li Huaizheng was explaining the situation in Wucheng to Sun Ce. After Yan Baihu was frustrated, he retreated to Shicheng Mountain, resentful, and seemed to intend to attack Wucheng, who had recently discovered several bandits. Wucheng is a county-level marquis, Li Huai has no county soldiers in his hands, so he can only recruit rangers like Ling Cao, he wants to ask Sun Ce to go into the mountains to conquer and get rid of Yan Baihu, a group of bandits.

Sun Ce was noncommittal. It's a good thing for Lee to have a meritorious heart, but it can also turn into a bad thing if it's not controlled. Li Huai only saw Wu Cheng, at most he only knew some about the situation in Wu County, and he didn't know what the situation was outside. Yuan Shao may go south at any time, how can he have the heart to entangle with Yan Baihu.

"Just a bandit, you don't have to raise a division to recruit and suppress, it is advisable to salute first and then soldier, in order to show mercy."

Li Huai was disappointed and glanced at Guo Wu. Guo Wu smiled, but did not speak. Sun Ce saw it in his eyes and said, "How many people has Li Xiang recruited now?" ”

"One hundred and five. Although the number of people is small, they are all warriors, which can be of great use. ”

Sun Ce smiled. Yan Baihu has nearly 10,000 people, and you are only one hundred and five, even if all of them are as fierce as Ling Cao, you can't handle Yan Baihu, don't you have to ask me to make a move in the end. It's not that I'm afraid of Yan Baihu, but I don't have time.

"Did anyone bring it?"

"I brought more than ten people, and the rest are in the city, I'm worried that Yan Baihu will sneak attack the county seat."

Sun Ce nodded, and asked Guo Wu to take Li Huai to rest, he had to discuss it with Guo Jia and Pang Tong. Li Huai went in a daze. Guo Jia and Sun Ce basically agreed on the same opinion, and felt that it was not appropriate to waste time on Yan Baihu. Pang Tong had a different opinion, he felt that although Li Huai was very selfish, it was not his fault, how could he know the overall situation? On the contrary, he takes the initiative to take refuge, that is, he is a usable person, and if he is not soothed, it will inevitably cold the hearts of others. It doesn't matter if you can clear Yan Baihu or not, let Li Huai be a role model, that's the point.

Sun Ce felt that they were all right, and he also had his own ideas. It is true that the situation does not allow him to waste too much time in Wuhui, but this does not mean that he will do nothing, and the necessary warnings are still needed. At present, we cannot be limited to the division of counties, and the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River must be considered as a game of chess. Yan Baihu was different from Chen Wei and the others, they were one of the countless sect commanders in the mountains south of Yangzhou, and they were lured by Tai Shi Ci, and if they were not beaten, once the climate was formed, it would become a problem.

He wanted to garrison troops in Wucheng, echo his hometown, control this area, lock the bandits in the depths of the mountains, and prevent them from threatening the hinterland of Wu County.

It doesn't matter if Yan Baihu dies or not, but he can't stay in Baihu Mountain and Shicheng Mountain.

"First arrange someone to contact Yan Baihu, and at the same time send someone to check his details to find out where he built a city and where he farmed. If he is willing to surrender, of course it is a good thing, and if he refuses to surrender, then knock and knock him. Sun Ce smiled. In the autumn, he sent people into the mountains to harvest his crops, so that he would have no food to eat, and he would work for a few years to see how long he could last. ”

Guo Jia and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled in unison. Pang Tong said: "The general has a clever plan. Since this is the case, then Li Huai can't stay here, this person is too impulsive, not calm enough, and in a hurry, but it is easy to spoil the general's plan. ”

Sun Ce was confident. "Don't worry, I already have the right candidate, but I have to wait and boil him."

——

Sun Ce stopped in Wucheng for two days, and accompanied by Li Huai and Ling Cao, he went to Shicheng Mountain to inspect it. His movements were not small, Yan Baihu soon received the news, did not dare to confront each other, and led his subordinates to retreat into White Tiger Mountain.

But Sun Ce did not send troops to fight, he sent people into the mountains to appease him, and then left Wucheng and went straight to Fuchun.

In Yuhang, Sun Ce met his uncle Sun Jing. is completely different from Sun Jian, Sun Jing is famous, he doesn't like tossing very much, and he has been guarding his hometown for so many years. Sun Ce has been in Wu County for so long, he just sent someone to ask when he would go home, and then ...... Not anymore.

The uncle and nephew whispered a few words, and Sun Jing didn't have anything to say, sitting silently, a little distracted, glancing at the field next to him from time to time. Sun Ce was also very helpless, this is a natural house, and he barely came. He asked Sun Quan to bring a box and put it in front of Sun Jing.

"What?" Sun Jing said lightly: "There is no shortage of money at home, you better keep it for yourself, the cost of marching and fighting is large." ”

Sun Ce opened the box with his own hands, and inside was the articles published by Nanyang County School for more than a year. Sun Jing's knowledge is average, but he likes to read, and when he sees so many articles, he rarely smiles.

"Okay, okay, I'll take this."

"Uncle, this gift can't be taken in vain." Sun Ce smiled: "I have something I want you to help with. ”

Sun Jing showed a little embarrassment, and after a while reluctantly said, "What's the matter?" Do you want to go out? ”

"You still need to go out, but you can't go out of Qiantang in the east, and you can't go out of Yuhang in the north."

Sun Jing was relieved and nodded again and again. "Okay, you can say it."

Sun Ce told his plan again. He told Yang Xiu that there were ancient jade unearthed between Yuhang and Qian Tang from time to time, and Yang Xiu was suspicious, and he asked many people along the way, but they all said that they didn't know, including Shen You and others, he already suspected Sun Ce of lying. Sun Ce has never refutated, he is too lazy to fight with Yang Xiu, and it is most direct to slap his face with facts.

The Liangzhu culture is an important part of prehistoric civilization, and he had visited it in his previous life and knew that it was in the northwest of the suburbs of Hangzhou. The city will disappear, the coastline will change, but the change in the mountains is very small, and he can basically be sure that the range of good tides will not exceed the two counties of Yuhang and Qiantang along the way. Sun Jing has a quiet temperament, can endure loneliness, and has a certain cultural literacy, so it is most suitable for him to do this.

Of course, Sun Jing has no archaeological literacy and does not have the conditions to excavate the site at present, but it is still okay for him to pay attention to collect some accidentally unearthed things. The real sense of gold and stone science to the Song Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty has already sprouted, Handan Chun and others to collect stone tablets is the stone in the gold and stone. What Sun Ce asked Sun Jing to do was to collect ancient jade in the Liangzhu Cultural Zone, starting with the natural unearthing.

In the twentieth century, when the Liangzhu civilization was discovered, it was an accident, and the soil on the site was not thick, and now it is closer to the time of the Liangzhu culture, and the possibility of natural excavation is greater, but no one has paid attention to it. Most of the intellectuals in the Wuyue region came from the Central Plains, and in their minds, this was a barbarian land, how could there be civilization. The Liangzhu culture has no bronze and no writing, but the Liangzhu culture has jade. For Confucianism, the discovery of jade is the discovery of civilization, and the presence or absence of writing is secondary. The absence of writing just proves that writing was not created by Cangjie, and can fundamentally shake the foundation of Confucianism with its inherent view of history and create conditions for the emergence of new ideas.

In comparison, this is more lethal than making a Wei Wei, and even more important than defeating Yuan Shao. Defeating Yuan Shao was a temporary victory, but transforming Confucianism was a thousand years of work.
