Qin Mi was a little confused when she was ridiculed by the teachers and students of Xiangyang Academy.

Isn’t this a normal debate routine? Why do you scold me?

Although no one knows that there is no country for generations, in front of the emperor, the Wu Kingdom will perish. What are your operations?

Before Qin Mi could react, the teachers and students of Xiangyang Academy, who had been tolerant of him for a long time, had already started the group ridicule mode. And judging from their sleeves and rolled up their arms, it is impossible for them to surround them and fight together.

Pang Degong and others were self-reliant, so they could not be as impulsive as young students, and could not sit still, but just shook their heads and sighed. The scholar was born very well, and they were new to him, not knowing the depth, and they didn't understand the style of Dawu's academic style. This time they were afraid they would suffer a loss.

Xin Ping stood in the crowd, watching Qin Mi being distorted a few steps away, feeling relieved and felt a little pitiful. Qin Mi is a smart man and reads well, but he doesn't understand Wu and Sun Ce too much. Using the trick of confucian scholars to argue with each other is just asking for trouble. No matter how good your knowledge and eloquence are, can you still be better than Xu Shao?

Seeing that the crowd was in full swing, someone would take action if he didn't stop him. Sun Ce raised his hands and pressed down gently. Seeing that the emperor was about to speak, the teachers and students of Xiangyang Academy barely stopped their fighting spirit and just stared at Qin Mi fiercely, remembering this person, and looking back at him to compete with him.

Before Qin Mi could come back to her senses, she had no reaction, and Xin Ping, who was affected, shuddered.

Sun Ce laughed loudly and said, "Although Ce reads little, he has heard people say that the principle of "only easy" is not easy. People often say that the world is forever, but the world has unexpected circumstances and the earth has changed. How can there be such a long time? Xia Yu, Shang Tang, and Zhou Wenwu King were all wise kings, but the Zhou Dynasty, which was the longest-lasting country, only 800 years, and hundreds of years were in name only. What kind of virtue can Ce be, and how can he hope that it will not be easy forever."

"But..." Sun Ce's words turned around, but he didn't continue to say it. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, slowly put it down, and deliberately moved the teacup and put it in place. "It's not the truth to say that there is no ambition." He looked at Qin Mi and smiled. "Do you know what ambition I have?"

Qin Mi took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Since I know that I can't be a surname for generations, I can only survive for a longer period of time. I think I hope to be on par with King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou, so that the country of Wu will surpass the Zhou Dynasty."

Sun Ce smiled and said word by word: "Yes, not right."

Qin Mi was stunned for a moment and bowed her hand. "Dare to ask for advice."

"I just said that only Yi is not easy. Speaking of the word "Emperor", in fact, history is not long. It was just that Ying Zheng's master was willing to use it himself. He took the Emperor of the Three Emperors and the Emperor of the Five Emperors into unity and then unified. The history of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors was too far away. I read very little and could not explain it in detail. I know one or two of the three dynasties. According to Cai Jijiu, the post-Xia proclaimed Emperor, Shang proclaimed Emperor, and Zhou proclaimed King, were all different from the emperors. Even if they were both emperors, the emperors of the Han Dynasty were different from the emperors of the Qin Dynasty. You are all familiar with the classics and history. I believe you are more familiar with it than me, so I won't talk about it, so as not to make a laugh."

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Cai Feng was a little embarrassed. He really didn't know what the difference between the emperor and the emperor. But he didn't say anything and laughed twice as if nothing had happened.

"Whether from the latter to the emperor, from the emperor to the emperor, and from the king to the emperor, it is probably impossible to simply determine whether such an evolution is good or bad. However, one thing we can be sure is that the emperor will never be the last name, or decades or hundreds of years, and another system will appear. Do you agree?"

Qin Mi frowned. He admitted that Sun Ce was right, but he was unwilling to agree with Sun Ce. "What does this have to do with the ambition you mentioned? Could it be that you also want to follow Qin Shihuang and create another title?"

Sun Ce smiled and ignored Qin Mi's provocation. This only shows that Qin Mi has become in chaos and is not a problem.

"Titles are just names, and they are still systems after the title. The system has been changing. This is a fact, but why does it change like this? Is it good or bad? When is it good and when is it bad? It is not a question that anyone can tell clearly. As the saying goes, knowing the truth, not knowing the reason is not true knowledge."

Sun Ce paused again, his eyes bright and bright. "So, I entrust Hongnong Yang Gong, Jiangxia Huang Gong, and of course, there is also the old priest of Xiangyang Academy, Mr. Cai, who devoted himself to studying the official system, hoping to find the rules and know why. I dare not say that I have made legislation for the whole world, but only seek to make achievements so that the kings of future generations know to change according to the times, do what they do, and do not do, so that they will not go to the wrong path because of temporary benefits."

"This is my ambition." Sun Curator smiled. "If it can be realized, even if my great Wu cannot last forever, it will be comparable to Zhou and have been passed down for eight hundred years. I think it is still possible. What do you think?"

Before Qin Mi answered, Yin Mo stood up and saluted Sun Ce. "Your Majesty has the merits of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou to establish a country, and the virtue of Zhou Duke in rituals and music, and to establish education. Only the kings of later generations can follow Your Majesty's rituals. The Great Wu has been passed down for more than 800 years, but it can be expected to be a thousand six hundred years."

Sun Ce waved his hand. "Thank you for your praise. But I don't want the kings of future generations to follow the laws of their ancestors. They dare not cross the brink of a single step. I hope they can follow my original heart. What is the original heart? The three levels of scholars are: establishing one's own body, practicing righteousness, seeking the way, and acting according to this original heart. Although the law is different from me, the original heart is not different, and they are my filial sons and grandsons. Scholars, warriors, peasants, doctors, officials, and kings. Although what they do are different, the hearts of being a scholar should not be different."

"Cai!" A girl on the wall applauded vigorously. "Your Majesty said it wonderfully. Even though I am a woman, I am willing to be a scholar!"

Sun Ce raised his arm and raised his thumbs high. "This is my great Wu man. Even though he is a woman, he will not let his beards!"

Everyone laughed, cheers came one after another, and applause was heard.

Qin Mi looked around, her mouth twitched, slowly raised her hand, and started slapping it in a difficult situation.

Qin Mi and Yin Mo walked side by side, walking on the streets of Xiangyang where the crowds were surging.

Xin Ping did not come back with Qin Mi. He said he would go to find Guo Jia, hoping to meet Sun Ce as soon as possible and start negotiations. However, Qin Mi did not believe him very much. Xin Ping's heart was no longer in Shu Kingdom, and he was looking for Guo Jia more likely to be for his future.

Zitong was originally from Guanghan, and Yin Mo and Qin Mi were considered to be in the same county. Before, Qin Mi asked for permission to attend the meeting through Yin Mo, and had the opportunity to stand in the courtyard of the academy and talk directly with Sun Ce. Although the results were different from expectations, Qin Mi was still very grateful to Yin Mo for his help.

After the meeting, Yin Mo accompanied Qin Mi to visit Xiangyang Academy and said to Qin Mi, don’t go back to Yizhou, just study in Xiangyang Academy. Although you have read a lot of books, you are not very familiar with the new policy of Wu and your academic style. Today I was defeated a little unfairly.

Qin Mi did not make any statement, but he praised the facilities of Xiangyang Academy. Whether it was the environment or the collection of books, Xiangyang Academy opened his eyes. At least Yizhou could not find anything that could be compared with it.

After traveling in Xiangyang Academy for a long time, Xin Ping was still missing, so Yin Mo sent Qin Mi back to Xiangyang City. It was getting late, and the atmosphere on the streets of Xiangyang was still very warm. You can see everywhere. Many of them were related to Qin Mi. Fortunately, those people did not know Qin Mi's name, so they replaced it with the Yizhou barbarian.

Qin Mi was very depressed, but she could do nothing.

The two walked all the way to the Cai family restaurant, stood outside the door, and looked inside, but saw that the restaurant was already crowded and there was no room for free. Qin Mi was in a bad mood, but Yin Mo was prepared, so he pulled him into an alley and stopped in front of a small restaurant with a very narrow storefront. Before he could speak, the female shopkeeper who was serving the guests in person saw Yin Mo and greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Yin, how many of you today?"

"Two." Yin Mo pointed at Qin Mi, stretched his neck and looked inside. "Is there any seat?"

"If sir doesn't dislike you, there are still two people in the attic."

"The loft is the attic, just to see the night view of Xiangyang."

Yin Mo led Qin Mi into the door, stepped on the stairs less than three feet wide, and went upstairs with a familiarity. The shopkeeper didn't say much, but turned around to greet others. Standing on the stairs, Qin Mi looked down and saw two tables in the narrow corridor, one table and one person, two people, drinking quietly, laughing from time to time.

Upstairs, passing through a loft cottage that looked like a boudoir, and pushing open the small door less than one person's height. Yin Mo and Qin Mo appeared on the balcony less than five feet long and wide. Two bamboo chairs and one wooden table, although compact, are not messy.

While Qin Mi was looking around, a few crisp copper bells came from downstairs. Yin Mo reached out and pulled up a rope and pulled a bamboo basket. There was a pot of wine, two wine glasses, four snacks, and side dishes in the bamboo basket. Yin Mo skillfully arranged it, put the bamboo basket down and greeted Qin Mi to take his seat.

As Yin Mo said, the attic is not big, but it can see most of Xiangyang City. It was in the evening, and the sunset shone on Xiangyang City, making it brilliant, and the navy ship on the Mianshui in the distance was even more magnificent and as magnificent as a mountain.

Qin Mi suddenly remembered the ship she saw in the morning and asked Yin Mo if he knew about it.

Yin Mo smiled. "That's a new ship that Huang and Qin had just developed successfully, specially prepared for the attack on Yizhou. The one you saw might have been to the Han River to test sailing. The same ship also exists on the Yangtze River, but you didn't pay attention."

"So, Emperor Wu doesn't want to negotiate at all, he just wants to conquer Yizhou by force?"

Yin Mo glanced at Qin Mi, smiled and said nothing, but raised the wine glass and signaled to Qin Mi. Qin Mi had no choice but to raise the wine glass and touch Yin Mo. "Thanks to Siqian today, otherwise I really don't know how to end."

"It's okay." Yin Mo took a sip of wine. "Brother Ziwei, what do you think of what Your Majesty said today?"

Qin Mi thought about it. "It's natural to be good, but I'm afraid it's difficult to achieve it."

Yin Mo put down the wine glass, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, raised his feet, put them on the railing in front of him, crossed his hands, placed them in front of his abdomen for a while, turned to look at Qin Mi, and tilted his mouth. "Do you know what the shopkeeper of this tavern is?"

Qin Mi shook her head. He really didn't know that the tavern was too small and didn't even have a trick to drink. Yin Mo didn't mention it when he entered the door.

"The surname is Kuai."

Qin Mi was stunned and then sat up in shock. "Kuai Yue's family?"

"Kuai Yue's youngest daughter was only twelve years old when she was exterminated."

"Then she..." Qin Mi's hairs stood up on her back, and she looked uneasy.

"Don't be nervous, this is no secret." Yin Mo laughed twice and said again: "Two years ago, Fa Xiaozhi sent someone to Xiangyang to make plans and contact her, hoping that she could become the contact point for Shu Kingdom here, but she refused."

Qin Mi breathed a sigh of relief. "Why?"

"Because she knew that Shu Kingdom would not last long, and the world would eventually return to Wu."

Qin Mi glanced at Yin Mo, and wanted to retort, but she gave up. After thinking for a long time, he sighed, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all. "So, Siqian also agrees with Emperor Wu's people's opinions?"

"Although the people's hearts are unreliable, they are actually a bit more realistic than the illusory destiny of heaven. For example, when you are sailing, you are more careful and dare not waver. Isn't this better than thinking that your destiny is with me and doing whatever you want?"

Qin Mi was speechless, so she had to pick up the wine glass again and drink it all in one go.

"Drink slowly." Yin Mo laughed. "Waiting for wine to drown your sorrows will only make you even more worried. The situation is like this, and you and I can control it. If you really want to be loyal to your mission, it would be better to persuade the King of Shu to surrender as soon as possible. With Cao Ang's relationship with Your Majesty, the Cao family will not be worse than the Kuai family."

The rebellion in Shangyong and Xianxian County disrupted the original plan and made the military plan and military advisors of the Military Intelligence Department realize that the territory of Dawu is not a monolithic, and the mountains and plains are not the same, and they cannot be occupied forever by victory.

Reinforcements are necessary, but in what way they reinforced them has sparked fierce debate.

Guo Jia believes that based on the current situation and the trial sailing of the new ship in the Miansan River Basin, the previous plan should be adjusted, with the Miansan River Basin as the main battlefield and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River as the auxiliary battlefield, go up the Han River to quell the rebellion first and stabilize the situation in Hanzhong.

Liu Ye believed that Shen Dan and Shen Yi were just a scabies, so he sent a general to lead thousands of soldiers to reinforce, without the need for the emperor to personally fight. Moreover, if the scheduled plan was changed, he would inevitably be transferred back to the right magistrate Sun Yi's army. It took a lot of effort and wasted a lot of time. He would probably miss this winter, and it would be a year later.

The two of them fought each other and each made sense, so in the end they could only make a decision.

After repeated consideration, Sun Ce accepted Liu Ye's suggestion. Shen Dan and Shen Yi were not a good fighter, but they took advantage of the lack of military strength in Wenpin's department to shoot a few cold arrows, which was not enough to change the established strategy. Guan Yu was in Xiangyang and sent him to send another batch of supplies, and by the way, he could just suppress Shen Dan and Shen Yi. Even if Guan Yu did not go into battle, as long as Wenpin adds a few thousand troops, Wenpin can solve Shen Dan and Shen Yi.

As for the supplies, it is not a problem to have the support of the Xiangyang tribe, so I just send another batch.

On the contrary, in the direction of Jiangling, after Sun Yi moved to Wuling, there was a lack of heavy generals in charge and his troops were too empty, which was a potential weakness and must be solved.

The discussion was decided, and Sun Ce summoned Guan Yu to meet him.

In less than half an hour, Guan Yu took Ma Liang to Yuliangzhou. After the ceremony, he sat on the side of Sun Ce, holding his legs with one hand and stroking his beard with the other. The phoenix eyes were slightly closed and the eyebrows were slightly locked. Even if he didn't say a word, he had the demeanor of a general.

Sun Ce looked at Guan Yu's eyes and his head slightly said, "Chang Yun, can you tell why you were summoned?"

"I am taking the liberty to speculate that it is the war in Shan County and Shangyong."

“Why?”

"The waterway in San County is the supply line for the soldiers on the front line of Hanzhong, and there is no need to be any mistakes. Moreover, Shen Dan and Shen Yi were provocative when His Majesty was patrolling Xiangyang, and they should be attacked and destroyed immediately to calm the morale of the people. However, Dan Yi did not need His Majesty to send generals and mobilize troops, and the ministers would just lead a thousand infantry soldiers to help."

Sun Ce was very satisfied. Could it be that Guan Yu was so modest and did not regard himself as a general. "Is a thousand invaders enough?"

"The soldiers are in the spirit, not in the many. Moreover, Shen Dan, Shen Yi was a rat. He was greedy for profit and took advantage of the gap. He must have ears and ears in Xiangyang to see my movements. Too many troops, it is inevitable that the news will leak out of the wind and make them prepare. I led a thousand people to quietly leave the city, and rushed day and night to attack him unprepared, and he can succeed in one move."

Sun Ce turned to look at Ju Su, Guo Jia. Guo Jia shook the feather fan and seemed to be smiling. "Although this plan is good, it doesn't look like Yun Chang's style. Could it be that there is another expert who has given advice for Yun Chang?"

Guan Yu hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "There are a few young people. Although they are wise and tricky, they are not enough to attract the eyes of the priests."

"Is it the one named Ma Liang?"

Guan Yu nodded. "There is also Yin Guan, whose courtesy name is Zixiu, and he is also a little strategic. He is the chief clerk appointed by Xu Gongming. Although Sima Xu Shang was a martial artist, he knew about military affairs, especially familiar with the terrain of Hanzhong, which would be helpful."

Guan Yu talked about a few people, both literary and military, and briefly commented on their pros and cons. After hearing this, Sun Ce nodded secretly. Guan Yu was originally conceited by his ability and was hostile to scholars. Now he can calmly recognize the abilities of other generals and commented fairly to Ma Liang, Yin Guan and others. Even Guo Jia did not get angry when he deliberately provoked, but his tone was a little tough, which shows that there was really progress and not a temporary compromise.

After asking about Guan Yu's strategy and testing Guan Yu's mentality, Sun Ce was relieved and handed over the task of aiding Hanzhong to Guan Yu, and ordered him to decide the action plan on his own and the Central Army would no longer interfere.

Guan Yu was happy in his heart, but he didn't like it. He bowed and bowed again, got up and left.

After leaving the central army tent, Guan Yu subconsciously stopped and turned his head to look at him. He was just seeing Mrs. Du standing in front of the tent not far away, looking at him with a smile. Guan Yu looked around with guilt, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he rushed over and held Mrs. Du's hand.

After Mrs. Du pulled him to the tent, she asked whispered: "How good is the answer?"

"It looks OK." Guan Yu finally showed a little smug look, stroked his beard and raised his eyebrows.

Mrs. Du gave him a blank look and said angrily: "Be careful of arrogance and impatience."

"Here." Guan Yu quickly put away his smile and said seriously.

"The battlefield is dangerous, you must be careful and return safely." Mrs. Du lowered her head and stroked her lower abdomen with one hand. "The child and I are waiting for you."

"Okay." Guan Yu responded, then widened his eyes and stared at Mrs. Du. "What did you... say?"

Mrs. Du's face turned red and she glared at Guan Yu. "Forget it if you don't understand." She shook Guan Yu's hand, turned around and entered the account, and closed the account door.
