Two days later, the flood receded, and Sun Ce set off on the road again and arrived in Wancheng at noon.

Zhang Hong and Yan Xiang had already received the news, leading officials to the ten-mile pavilion outside the city to welcome him. Many people also heard the news and welcomed him in the middle of the road. The people on both sides of the avenue were crowded with laughter and joy, and the festive atmosphere was filled with students in the martial arts hall lined up in military uniforms, playing drums, and the students from the county school and kindergarten applauded and cheered. Sun Ce was also a little fluttering in his heart, as he was as proud as police cars leading the way when he was inspecting the grassroots level in his previous life and elementary school students presented flowers.

When he arrived in Nanyang, Yin Ei became half the master, especially when he saw the students in the martial arts lecture hall. Yin Duan was old and had a unique identity. He did not come to greet him in person. The students in the martial arts lecture hall acted as Yin Ei's family, especially for Yin Ei. He stepped forward to salute Yin Ei and shouted his name. They were all straight and arrogant, and were very heroic. Mi Lan saw it in her eyes and envied her. She muttered a few words to Mi Fang who was rushing to greet him, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Mi Fang raised her eyebrows, called her two confidants, and gave a few instructions. The two confidants quietly withdrew from the crowd, jumped onto their horses, and ran away.

Sun Ce got out of the car and greeted Zhang Hong and Yan. He didn't see Xin Pi. He probably was still pursuing Fa Zheng's affairs, nor did he ask. After making a fuss with the officials and celebrities who came to greet him, they got on the car and returned to the city together.

Wancheng is the county seat, and the capital is located in the southwest corner. Sun Ce should have entered the city from the west gate and could enter the capital nearby. However, Zhang Hong wanted him to see the people and customs of Nanyang, so he chose to enter the city from the north gate and cross the entire city area. The whole journey was about six or seven miles. There were people on both sides of the street, so the speed was not fast, so he could only walk slowly.

To meet the people, Sun Ce naturally could not sit in the car anymore, so he could only ride a horse. Zhang Hong and Zhou Yu were with him, Mi Fang led the knights to lead the road in front, swaying all the way, cheering endlessly, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic. Halfway through Wan City, the atmosphere reached a climax. Rows of merchants stood along the city wall. Ordinary people were not particularly particular about it, and they stood wherever there were empty seats. But these merchants were not like this. They used Si as units, with as many as four or five people, and at least two or three people, holding Sizhao with Sizhao in their hands. When Sun Ce walked past them, they loudly reported their Sizhao.

"The Penglai Fish Shop in the East China Sea, welcomes the general and his wife to Wancheng. The Penglai Fish Shop specializes in various sea fish, which are of high quality and low price, and are extremely delicious-"

"Qingzhou Jinxiu Busi, welcomes the general and his wife to Wancheng. Jinxiu Busi, specializes in Qingzhou cloth, with authentic origin and authentic products—"

After listening for a while, Sun Ce suddenly realized that this was not a welcome to me, this was here to cheer for Milan. Sure enough, who was playing with birds? Yin Duan presided over the martial arts lecture hall, and the students from the martial arts lecture hall came to support Yin Wei. Mi's family is a big businessman in the East China Sea, and his friends are vast. Qingxu merchants came to support Milan and advertised. When they looked up, they saw a row of people standing along the city wall, with at least a hundred families. It seemed that Mi's family had a great influence in Wan City.

Sun Ce called Guo Wu and asked him to prepare two horses and take them to the car behind, so that Mi Lan and Yin Xi would come out together to show their faces. Since the venue has been set up, the main person can't not show up.

Mi Lan was sulking in the car. When she heard the shouts outside, she didn't react at all, and just thought it was to welcome Sun Ce. Yin Xi, who was in the same car, was busy comforting her, but she didn't pay attention. When Guo Wu came to inform them and asked them to get off the car and board the horse, she realized that those people were different. Mi Lan was overjoyed and quickly got on the horse, pulled Yin Xi to get on the horse, raised her arms, and greeted these hometown people who knew or didn't know. Looking at these smiling faces and listening to the familiar local accent, she burst into tears.

She hasn't been home for more than two years since she left Donghai.

Seeing Mi Lan appear, the voices of Qing Xu merchants became louder, obviously they were greeting businessmen at the door, all of whom were full of energy and articulate. Although there was a Qing Xu accent in the official language, it could make everyone hear it clearly.

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Seeing the spirit of these people, you will know that you have achieved remarkable achievements in Nanyang in recent years, which is gratifying."

Zhou Yu hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Zigang and Yan Fujun have good governance. At best, we can only avoid disturbing the people and cause less trouble."

Zhang Hong stroked his beard and smiled, "Gongjin doesn't have to be humble. To be peaceful in Nanyang, it requires all efforts, and no one can be less. Nanyang is in chaos, but it is very easy. However, Nanyang has today's situation. There are many people who have made contributions, but the first contribution is the general. If the general had not trusted us and ruled inaction and let us let go, how could we have the same kindness as today? If we were not humbly speaking, looking at the world, we probably wouldn't be able to find a place that looks more like a paradise than Nanyang."

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Sir, where do you put your words in Chang'an? Are you not afraid of people saying that the general despises the court?"

Zhang Hong smiled slightly. "If you want to add a crime, why not worry? Where is Chang'an and Nanyang a paradise? It's not that I have the final say, but that thousands of people have the final say. So many people fled to Nanyang, and even if the disaster in Guanzhong is eased, they are unwilling to go back. If I still say that Chang'an is a paradise, it is not only deceiving oneself, but also deceiving the king. If a wise king, he will be able to reflect deeply and not be mistaken by slander. If he is a fool..."

Zhang Hong paused and said meaningfully: "Why care what he thinks?"

Sun Ce tasted it, understood what Zhang Hong meant, and gave a thumbs up. "Sir, I should engrave my opinions in my heart and be alert at all times."

Zhang Hong stroked his beard and looked at the people smiling on both sides of the road. "The book says: Heaven looks at itself, the people see itself, the people listen, what is destiny? The heart of the people is destiny. But there are thousands of people in the world, how can they say a word? Everyone promises it. A small path of poetry, a essay, a comment, a criticism, a sentence, and a big article like changing the dynasty? If a general wants to take the world, he should have the tolerance and tolerance to wait for the time."

Sun Ce said slightly. "Mr. said it is reasonable. The melon is ripe and the stems fall naturally. Some things are not urgent. If they are anxious, they will change."

Zhang Hong's mouth slightly raised. "With the general's words, my bet with Xun Wenruo has a little more chance of winning."

"Sir, have any news about Xun Wenruo?"

Zhang Hong nodded and said nothing. Sun Ce knew that this was not a place to speak, so he did not ask questions and enjoy the cheers of the people. With Zhang Hong's words "The people's hearts are destiny", his heart was settled. They might have differences, but they were not strategic differences, but just temporary and temporary. He was not Yuan Shao, and he was anxious to live the emperor's addiction. He had plenty of time and was not in a hurry at all.

Zhang Hong looked at Sun Ce from the corner of his eyes. Seeing Sun Ce interacting with the people with a smile, his laughter was bright, and his happiness came from the heart, without any false intentions, he felt relieved and secretly glad. After not seeing each other for several years, although Sun Ce defeated Yuan Shao, his power was different now, but he was still as sincere as when he first met, as radical and calm as he was, and he did not show off his own abilities and was arrogant.
