Chapter 34 A cup of turbid wine rejoices
In the tent, only Sun Ce and Li Xiaoru were left. The others arranged their own affairs.
The wounded soldiers were handed over to Jia Hua to take them to the barracks to find a doctor to treat the wounded.
Sun Ce finally calmed down and continued to discuss topics with Li Xiaoru.
Li Xiaoru praised: "The lord is really a wise and talented master. He can completely control his emotions. You have finally grown up now. Moreover, your use of strategies is not bad at Wenyou. The military book says that before the war, the temple has won. After everything is arranged, it is organized, and all Chen Yu's actions are under our monitoring. He is worthy of being a descendant of the martial arts master!"
Sun Ce smiled bitterly and said, "Military advisor, you are so polite! I just made corresponding arrangements according to your ideas. This time I robbed the military advisor's credit, I'm sorry! Haha! I will definitely not rob the meat with you next time!"
Li Xiaoru also smiled slightly: "The lord is wise, and he can hear one and know three, and he can calculate it without any omissions. Wenyou is grateful for his ability to submit to the lord's tent and put some meager strength into his lord. He dare not express his merits!"
Sun Ce thought: "This Li Ru is really a smart person. He knows when to win his superiors. He is very knowledgeable about the truth that he is so powerful that he can win Dong Zhuo's trust at the beginning.
Moreover, you understand things and have a strong ability to distinguish. This is really a senior talent with rich and mature experience! Such a talent must not make him feel cold. You should encourage and praise him frequently. The way to keep your heart is to make your subordinates feel fulfilled, and you make your subordinates feel fulfilled too!”
Sun Ce walked to Li Ru, grabbed his hand, and said to him seriously: "Military advisor, God really favors me! Send a talent like you to me, an unknown boy! Help me achieve our ideals. Over the past period of time, I have seen and kept your efforts in my heart! But our conditions are not good now, so we can only temporarily feel wronged by the military advisor.
When we pacify Jiangdong in the future, my Sun Ce will definitely reward you according to merits and will not bury the great achievements of the military advisor! I want everyone in the world to know that it is you! Wenyou helped me to quell the chaos in the world."
Li Ru's eyes had a hint of wetness, and he thought: "Isn't this the wise master he has been pursuing? Although he is relatively young, his career has just begun, and it can be said that he has not even started yet. But his performance is remarkable. His attitude towards people and methods are not as good as those of his age can do."
"He is almost no worse than any of the emperors in history who can achieve hegemony.
The temperament determines success! He is tolerant and generous, knows to mobilize the positive emotions of his subordinates and makes decisions unremittingly! In time, wait for him to grow a little longer. There may not be anyone in the world who can be his opponent! Wenyou thought there was no hope in this life, but she met him while fleeing. Isn’t this also God’s care for him?”
Li Ru easily opened Sun Ce's hand and bowed to the ground: "My lord, don't be as talented as literary talent, so lenient to Wen You. Save Wen You's rebellious body in an irresistible way. Wen You will repay his lord's kindness for his heavy life!"
Sun Ce hurriedly helped him up: "Okay, military advisor. Let's stop thanking each other! Just your Jiangdong Ce, you can call me Zhang Zifang, and we will remember your credit! If you thank you any longer, we don't have to talk about serious matters. Haha!"
The two smiled for a while and continued: "Military advisor, do we need to inform Yuan Shu about the situation here? Remind him about this thing that Chen Yu might rebel?"
Li Ru shook his head: "Lord, Wen You think it's unnecessary. You think, Yuan Shu believes in you or Chen Yu! You must know that you will not be close to you! Moreover, Yuan Shu himself must have a suspicion in Shouchun, and someone will definitely report the situation here to him.
We just need to report our situation in detail to him. Let him know that our army is not the party that has been provoked by the accident. In addition, Chen Yu has not yet rebelled, so if we report it like this, it will be difficult to explain if an unexpected situation occurs at that time."
Sun Ce nodded convincedly: "Okay, let's arrange this for now."
Sun Ce turned to Lu Meng and said, "Lu Meng, you and Song Qian will bring ten personal guards tomorrow, and we will also join the scout team. Let's go and visit Shouchun City together."
Lu Meng immediately jumped in happily: "Okay lord! I will arrange the staff immediately. If you want to talk about Shouchun City, no one is more familiar with me.
Lord, don’t know, before you came, Song Qian and I had been shopping around the city several times. You Shouchun asked me to lead the way, that must be correct!”
After saying that, he ran out hurriedly without waiting for the two of them to react. He was such a childish guy. No wonder he was a little taller and looked older. He was only fifteen years old after all. If you want him to be old, wouldn’t it take his life! He had to follow him a little.
However, during this period, Sun Ce asked him to read military books in one go, and he was indeed smart. He only needed to read it a few times to remember it, and he was able to use his imagination, learn and use military tactics, and discuss with these experienced veterans in the army. He was not a child who studied hard. He had a great future in cultivating!
After a while, after learning all the military books in the camp, Sun Ce will arrange for him to start trying to lead a team of soldiers. Only when learning in practice will he be more effective, allowing him to make progress faster and more solid.
Sun Ce thought fortunately: "I started to cultivate Lu Meng in advance. I believe that his achievements should be higher than what I could only perform under Sun Quan.
After all, Chen Wu is three years older and has already started training troops independently. Since the last time he talked to him alone, I rarely worry about it. He can never see him in the fights in the army again. Instead, he often exists among the people who are persuading to fight.
I just need to provide him with sufficient military books to study, and he also knew that I had to be busy with a lot of things. So I always saw him holding military books around Han Dang, the only veteran in the army, and I didn't know if Han Dang would be dizzy when he turned around.
There is no way, who asked Jiangdu to protect him too! Several veterans were unable to come. They had to work hard for the time being to teach my apprentice.
Who has kept my young lord busy? As a lord, there are many things to worry about!"
At the dinner that night, Sun Ce drank the first time, wine from this era. I don’t know what Chen Yu was thinking about, but he didn’t give enough food, so he even sent a few jars of yellow wine.
Of course, everyone would not relax the inspection, just in case he was given a drug. However, after a trial, he did not find that the drug was given in the wine. It seemed that he wanted Sun Ce to believe his sincerity in peace.
Although the wines of this era seem to be relatively turbid, they taste similar to the rice wines that Sun Ce had drunk in modern times, but they were lighter. The alcohol content was obviously not as high as modern times, and it felt a little sour.
The brewing process is still relatively backward. For people from the Three Kingdoms, this is a fine wine. But for Sun Ce, who is used to the mellow wine flavor of later generations, he feels that the wine from the Three Kingdoms has a little sour taste.
From Du Kang's wine two thousand years ago to today, there are many types of wine. Various plants containing starch and sugar have been brewed into different wines. Such as wine, sugar cane wine, pepper wine, milk wine (mainly made by nomadic peoples), etc. There are extremely rich varieties. However, because there is no good filtration method, the wine mostly carries a part of the lees, so it looks rather turbid. Therefore, when people entertain guests, they usually say that a glass of turbid wine will meet.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people had learned to use simple distilled vessels to make distilled liquor. Of course, the degree is not very high, about twenty-five degrees. These liquors are complicated in the preparation method and immature in the processing technology. The alcohol loss during the heating process is extremely large, so the yield is very small, and the degree is even less likely to reach a very high degree.
Therefore, this kind of wine consumes more than ten times the food that ordinary wine is. In this era of extreme food tension, it can only be made occasionally to serve as a drink for princes and nobles during festivals.
Ordinary people drink all kinds of brewed wines, at most five to ten degrees, which is equivalent to modern low-altitude rice wine or beer.
