Chapter 403 Scourge
Sun Ce laughed silently, and the result was beyond his expectations. However, if you think about it carefully, you can feel it.
There are only a few Confucian classics, but not much content. The difference lies in the different explanations of each school, and there is no objective standard. If you say you have reason, I say I have reason, it depends on who the explanation sounds more reasonable. Given the Confucianism's praise of the ancients, it is inevitable to quote classics and classics, and whoever reads more books will have the upper hand.
Although Cai Yan was young, her memory was amazingly good. In the more than ten years of exile in the Huns, she could still recite more than 400 volumes of Cai Yong's collection of books, which was good for one word. Now she has no worries about food and clothing, and she has the best memory. It is probably the time for Cai Yong's collection of books to be engraved in her mind, and she is more than enough to deal with Zhang Zhao. It is said that it was a draw, but Cai Yan knew how to be a human being and gave Zhang Zhao face.
But Zhang Zhao was a great scholar who had been famous for many years. If he could not defeat a girl, he would lose. As for challenging Handan Chun and Hu Zhao's failure, it was purely a trick of being in a flash of anger. Ancient characters were not his strengths, and he was not as profound as these two people in calligraphy. It was undoubtedly a collision between eggs and stones. It would be strange if he didn't lose the nose and eyes were swollen.
Sun Ce suddenly realized that Zhang Zhao was so calm about losing the Liunan County School Priest and was determined to achieve results in the position of the prefect of Runan. He would not have been hit hard. He had to give up his studies and instead make efforts in his career, right? If this is the case, find an opportunity to stimulate him and let the Runan family bear his anger, and the effect will be good.

Ruyang City.
Ruyang Order Qu Yin stood up on the market building, watching the dozen arrogant figures in the market leaving, and his face turned blue with anger. Several municipal officials stood beside him, each with wounded, and the city was also among them, with half of his face swollen, and he could vaguely see the marks left by the scabbard. There were more than a dozen county officials below the city building, holding crossbows and knives, but no one dared to come forward to stop them. They could only watch the few barbarians who had eaten, drank enough, and left with a large bag of spoils.
"Ming Court, if these people are not driven away, no one dares to come to this market. In just two months, people have been beaten by them almost every day. Not only will the businessmen stop coming, but even the managers are closed down..."
"I understand." Qu Yin shouted angrily, interrupting the complaint of the city order. Although the city order had already given him face, he still felt embarrassed. As a county's parent official, he could not protect his subordinates. He could only watch them being bullied by the Hu people in the womb. His face was burning and ashamed. He held his hands and turned back and forth twice.
"Have you found out clearly? Which General Yuan's subordinate is it?"
The city ruling looked frightened and did not dare to say it clearly, but just looked north. He felt very wronged. The county ruling had a bad memory or deliberately reported this matter several times. You dare not offend Yuan Shao, so you have to take me to the tank? Although Yuan Shao is far away in Yecheng, there are quite a few raids under his banner in Ruyang. If someone knows that he said it, his head will be hung on the city building in less than two days.
Qu Yin was even more depressed. Yuan Shao had a good reputation in his hometown, and there was no need to mention the family background of the three kings of four generations. The filial son who had been mourning for six years and the leader of the world's heroes all gave him a lot of invisible power. There were too many people willing to stand up for him, including Qu Yin himself. How could such a person allow the Hu people in the Hantou to harm the countryside? What happened to the famous Yingchuan scholar Xinpi? He left these people here and ignored it?
Qu Yin really wanted to go to Yecheng to complain, but Yecheng was too far away, and he might not have the chance to see Yuan Shao. He wanted to capture these people by himself, but he overestimated the ability of these county officials. Facing the Hu Qi who was coming and going like a wind, they were no match for them at all. If they really wanted to kill, they would not be unable to catch these people. However, once the conflict intensified and two hundred people started, Ruyang City might suffer a greater disaster.
If he wants to fight, he can only catch all of them in one place and never defeat them. He does not have such ability, so he can only ask for support.
The closest reinforcements were on the way to arrive. This matter could no longer be hidden. If you don’t take the initiative to ask for help, once you are held accountable, he, Ruyang Order, will not escape death. Alas, I hope he can give me a break because of my official reputation and being from Jiangdong.
Qu Yin felt bitter in his mouth and gritted his teeth. "Let's go and welcome the general against the rebellious one."

In the hot summer, it is best to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to escape the summer heat instead of rushing to Chen State to meet Chen Wangchong. However, Sun Ce knew that time was tight and war could break out at any time, so he had to race against time. Since Chen Wangchong had such ability, he needed to contact him to see if he could be an ally. If possible, it would be perfect for him to face Zhu Ling stationed in Chenliu and even become a general who blocked Yuan Shao.
If you want to defeat Yuan Shao, who is famous all over the world, you must seize every opportunity and unite all possible allies.
Besides, the soldiers have been practicing for more than two months, and it is time to go out and practice.
Sun Ce arranged the matter in Runan, with Zhang Zhao as the prefect, Huang Zhong in charge of military affairs, and Sun Ce set out with his personal guard infantry cavalry. Marines in summer are a severe test for physical fitness. Sun Ce chose to get off early and rest early to avoid the hottest time at noon, and bring more medicine and food to cool down to avoid accidents.
From Pingyu to Chen State, there was no need to pass Runan, and cross the Yingshui River in Nandun to reach Chen County directly. However, considering that Yuan Yao was guarding the tomb in Ruyang, Yuan Quan was very worried, so he took a detour and stopped in Ruyang to let the sisters meet.
Sun Ce had a lot of worries and couldn't live a peaceful life even when he was rushing. He discussed with Guo Jia and Jiang Gan while walking. This time he went to Chen State not only to meet Liu Chong, but to ask for stuttering. That was just a small matter. He had a more important task. Guo Jia had received news that Yuan Shao sent Yuan Tan to preside over Yanzhou and Liu Bei was the deputy. It seemed that he was dealing with the unstoppable Yellow Turbans, but their main goal was definitely Yuzhou.
Without Cao Cao, the Yellow Turban offensive in Qingzhou was like a tide, and even the hot summer heat could not stop them from moving forward. The bitter chiefs of the Black Mountain Army and Yu Du also advanced eastward to meet, and the meeting was about to come. Yuan Tan came, and I don’t know if they could curb their momentum. But no matter what, the defense line of Sui Water must be strengthened. Whether it is Yuan Tan, Liu Bei or the Yellow Turban, they cannot enter Yuzhou without permission. The autumn harvest is about to be imminent, and he does not want the harvest of the year to be destroyed in their hands.
What he is most worried about now is food. No matter how strong his strength, how good his weapons, no matter how much money he has in his pocket, he will not be able to survive without food. What's more, he still has a large number of refugees to migrate to the south of the Yangtze River. The grain supply along the way, settle down and cultivated seeds all require a large amount of grain reserves as a backing. Purchasing from Xuzhou is just a last resort. If you can solve some of it yourself, the most cost-effective choice.
Jiang Gan fanned his sleeves while saying, "General, this time I should clean up the cavalry brought by Xin Pi, so I can no longer let them serve as Yuan Shao's eyes and ears. When Yuan Tan comes, these people will definitely contact Yuan Tan."
"Ziyi said so much. These people have become a disaster. The opportunity is ripe and you can take action." Guo Jia smiled and gently shook the whip in his hand. "Xin Zhuozhi has to pay a price to eat and drink in Wancheng, so that he can't go back to Yecheng."
