Man Chong went upstairs, stood at the stairs for a while, adjusted his breathing, and then walked slowly over and bowed. "General." He turned around and bowed to Guo Jia. "I have heard of the famous name of sacrificing wine for a long time. I have seen it today, and I am honored."

Guo Jia stood up and bowed to return the salute. "Who did Boning hear me? Xin Georgia?"

"Not only Xin Changshi, but Yuan Jun also often mentioned that the priests are full of opportunities and are difficult to deal with."

Guo Jia smiled. "Does Boning know? I have been to Hebei and have seen both Yuan Benchu ​​and his son."

Man Chong was a little surprised. "Is that true?"

"Yes. Not only me, but Xun Gongda, who is now the chief minister next to Zhou Gongjin, is also the case. I wonder if Xin Zhuozhi mentioned him."

Man Chong pondered for a moment and nodded. "I have some impression of the priest saying this, and it seems that I have heard from Changshi Xin." He smiled. "There are many strange scholars in Ruying, and the rumors are true."

"Then do you know why Ruying has many strange soldiers?"

Man Chong smiled with a smile, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he did not answer Guo Jia's question immediately. He was just a polite word, but Guo Jia didn't seem to be joking. He was so aggressive, probably not boasting, but having something to say. As for the old subordinates' demonstrations on the new people, or the seniors' teachings on the backwards, it's not clear. Although he and Guo Jia are not much older than him, Guo Jia was more than two years earlier than him and was already Sun Ce's confidant.

"Please give me some advice."

"There are many strange soldiers in Ruying because Yingchuan is a place of battle. Once the world is in chaos, Yingchuan is often a place of military service. In order to survive, he has to leave his hometown. There is no land, no manor, and only family members who need to eat. Without surprise, they cannot survive. Mencius said: Born in distress, die in peace. This is true for the country and so for the people."

He was thoughtful and nodded slightly. "The sacrificial wine is reasonable. Living in peace can nourish virtue, and talent is revealed in times of difficulty. People are too peaceful and easy to slack off. If you have the opportunity, you should go out and see the world, so that you can keep a certain sense of vigilance."

"Secondly, many strange scholars of Ruying are still wise to choose their masters. Even if there are amazing talents, if no one appreciates them, they can only hold jade and be displaced. Even if Boning has great talents, how can Yuan Yi scholars, Liu Dai, and Yuan Tan's family members, Boning can only be lost and unknown, and a mere Zhang Bao can make Boning miserable."

Man Chong's eyebrows trembled. When he thought of his career, he felt emotion. He was considered to be the early officialdom. At the age of 18, he became the governor of the county and quelled the Li Shuo rebellion. He recommended him to the prefect and ordered him to guard Gaoping. He thought that the prefect valued him and wanted to govern Gaoping well and serve the prefect, but he never thought that it was a trap. The Zhang family of Gaoping was not Li Shuo, not something he could afford. As soon as Zhang Bao died, he knew that he had been framed and had to abandon his official position and return.

At that time, the prefect Yuan Yi didn't say a word for him. Compared to Sun Ce, Yuan Yi probably never saw him in person. In fact, it was normal. Yuan Yi was born with a noble family and was a scholar. He promised himself that he could like him a cruel official. He just treated him as a hawk and dog, and dealt with the powerful people who were rampant in the countryside. With the goal, he was useless. He asked him to try to guard Gaoping, which had the most aristocratic family, and would have to wait for him to inflict public anger.

Guo Jia reminded him correctly that under Yuan Tan and Yuan Yi, he would not achieve anything.

"Thank you for your advice." Man Chong bowed sincerely.

Guo Jia bowed back and took a step back. Man Chong saluted Sun Ce again. This time it was a big gift, and his waist was like a chime. Sun Ce saw it and was secretly happy. Guo Jia is worthy of being a genius who plays with people's hearts, and in a few words he opened Man Chong's knot. After all, Man Chong did not take the initiative to serve, but was forced out of Changyi City by him. If this knot is not untied, Man Chong may not be able to serve him wholeheartedly.

"Boning, this time, I have spoken out for the power of the army. Please forgive me."

Man Chong smiled and said, "It's good, otherwise I don't know how long I will hesitate."

"What do you mean is that I can't conquer Changyi in a short period of time?"

Man Chong was stunned and looked at Sun Ce in surprise. "General, you... you are really aware of the small things."

Sun Ce smiled. "Did you still promise Yuan Tan that you would not be enemies with him?"

Man Chong was embarrassed and bowed. "Please help the general."

"No problem, a gentleman is a beauty for adults. Even though I am not a gentleman, I cannot trap Boning injustice. Yuan Xiansi can let Boning out of the city without losing his demeanor. Can't I achieve Boning's former ruler? I will deal with Changyi's affairs. Isn't it just to seize the city and wait for reinforcements from all walks of life? There is nothing new. A group of mobs, the more they come, the better they will defeat them one by one under Changyi City, which will save me from the hard work of marching."

Man Chong was speechless. Sun Ce not only knew Yuan Tan's plan clearly, but also had confidence in winning. He didn't need any help from him. His worries were purely redundant. "The general used troops like a god, and he really didn't need me to spend more time. The general had his life and could do everything."

Sun Ce nodded with satisfaction. "Life is full of ups and downs, and it is inevitable that there will be wasting time. It doesn't matter if you encounter setbacks, but you are afraid that you will not dare to face them again after encountering setbacks. Boning, you encountered setbacks in Gaoping, this time you will start with Gaoping, how about it?"

Man Chong had just recalled his career and was full of resentment towards Gao Ping. He heard that Sun Ce wanted him to return to Gao Ping, and he agreed immediately.

"Here."

"After doing Gaoping order for a while, I will have a more important task to you after I have cleaned up Gaoping."

Man Chong was overjoyed and bowed to answer again.

Sun Ce immediately wrote a handwritten order, Ren Manchong was the Gaoping Order, and explained the situation to Manchong. Sun Jian was attacking Rencheng, and Gaoping was the rear base, and had stockpiled a large amount of food and grass. Manchong not only had to supply Sun Jian's troops in time, but also ensure that Gaoping could not cause trouble. How to grasp the scale in this depends on Manchong's means. The powerful need to rectify it, but it is not simply a killing person. Maintaining the stability of the situation is the prerequisite.

Full of favor and confidence, he assured Sun Ce that if Gao Ping was in chaos, he would only ask. He immediately explained his plan in detail to Sun Ce. There were many families of Gao Ping, but those people relied on not their force, but their reputation. The reason why they were able to rampant in the village was not force, but monopolized the official positions of counties and counties and gained power. For example, Zhang Bao, who was killed by him, did evil by using the means of county supervisors, received bribes, and interfered with officials and governments. Why could Zhang Jian become famous all over the world? It was because he served as county supervisors, had power, and abused power, hurting innocent people.

Now, except for the few counties such as Changyi, most of the counties in Shanyang have fallen into the hands of Sun Ce. Whether it is the prefect's decree or the governor's decree, they cannot leave Changyi City. Gaoping is in the eastern part of Shanyang, more than a hundred miles away from Changyi. What else can he rely on? It is just a lamb to be slaughtered, not worth mentioning. Man Chong attaches importance to the thieves in Gaoping Mountain. If the Gaoping family colludes with the thieves, it will inevitably affect Sun Jian's logistics supply. Therefore, he asked Sun Ce to give him some military power and let him conquer the thieves in the mountains.

After hearing this, Sun Ce discussed with Guo Jia for a few simple words and agreed to Man Chong's request.

"Is a thousand enough?"

Man Chong shook his head and was confident. "I heard for a long time that the general's soldiers were well-trained, and Wu Huijian'er was also skilled in fighting in mountains, water and water. I don't think there are too many, five hundred people enough."
