Although the Hedong Wei clan has no reputation in the Eastern Han Dynasty and is only a small local family, it is very famous in Hedong Anyi, especially when Wei Zhongdao married the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong. Marriage with Chen Liucai means that Wei Zhongdao's talent and learning have been recognized by Cai Yong, and it will be a smooth road to enter the company in the future. Later, Wei Zhongdao died less than a year after getting married, which made the people of Anyi feel sorry, and bluntly said that his blessings were thin and he couldn't afford this good luck from heaven.

Therefore, the people of Hedong are no strangers to the Wei family's marriage to Cai Yan, and those with a little face know that Wang Chang has been an official in the Taishou Mansion for many years, so he naturally knows about this matter. At this moment, in the face of Sun Ce's consultation, he was speechless.

Han Dynasty women had no right to inherit. After the death of the husband, if there is a son, the son inherits the family property. Cai Yan did not have children, so she had two choices: either she continued to stay in the Wei family and had no property rights, but the Wei family had to support her life; Either choose to leave, you can take your dowry with you, but you can't take away the property of the Wei family. But no matter what, the Wei family couldn't take the initiative to drive her away.

Why did Cai Yan leave the Wei family? Actually, it's not a big deal. Wei Zhongdao is dead, Cai Yan has no children, and the young widow is not good for her or the Wei family. If Cai Yan succeeds a child by then, the Wei family will also share his property. For this kind of small and medium-sized family that has not been a big official and has accumulated all the money through diligence and thrift, of course this is not cost-effective, just find some ballast and let Cai Yan go by himself, anyway, Cai Yan is thin-skinned and can't do the kind of thing that he doesn't leave.

Wang Chang is clear about the inside story and can understand the Wei family's choice, but as Cai Yong, marrying his daughter to the Wei family is worthy of the Wei family, and the Wei family is somewhat immoral in doing this, and the thoughts in it also violate Confucian moral standards, and they can't talk about it or say it. He worries more than that. Why did Sun Ce take the Wei family? I'm afraid it's not just as simple as fighting for Cai Yan, he is dissatisfied with his attitude. If he is obsessed, Sun Ce will definitely have even more ugly words to hear.

Wang Changlai had learned some things about Sun Ce before, and he had just inquired a lot with Wen Yun, knowing that Sun Ce's record was not only on the battlefield, but also not weak when he scolded people, he boasted that he did not have the strength of Xu Shao, so he didn't dare to go against Sun Ce, so he could only choose to admit it. annoyed Sun Ce and smashed the messenger, even if he could go back alive, this official would be lost.

"This thing...... There may be some misunderstanding, and I don't know very well, so I'm afraid I won't be able to reply to the general. Ashamed, ashamed. ”

Seeing that Wang Chang's attitude was humble and confessed, Sun Ce didn't think much of it, but just mentioned casually, Cai Yong wrote history in Xiangyang, Cai Yan taught children in Wancheng, and her husband Zhou Yu was many times stronger than Wei Zhongdao, I don't have to worry about this matter, someone will ask the Wei family for justice.

Wang Chang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to speak for the Wei family.

Putting aside the grievances of Cai Wei's two families, Sun Ce and Wang Chang had a lot of tacit understanding, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Ce suggested that Wang Chang stay by Zhu Jun's side. Zhu Jun is the Taiwei, the head of the Three Dukes, and has the right to summon the officials, but he has a general influence in Shilin, and there are many vacancies in the Taiwei Mansion. Wang Chang is not the kind of person who pretends to be high, he is more realistic, Zhu Jun is also more satisfied with him, Sun Ce rubbed it together, and this thing was done.

Sun Ce recommended Wang Chang to Zhu Jun, and by the way, proposed to let Xu Huang be his attendant. He thought the young man was good. Wang Chang owes Sun Ce a favor, and of course he will not object. Zhu Jun has seen Xu Huang and thinks Xu Huang is good, but he will never believe that such a young man has the potential of a famous general, Sun Ce wants it, just give it to him, as long as Xu Huang himself is willing.

Don't say that Zhu Jun doesn't believe it, Xu Huang himself doesn't believe it either. When Chen Zhi told him that Sun Ce wanted to invite him to be a Peng official, he looked at Chen Zhi and rolled his eyes for a long time, and finally confirmed that Chen Zhi was not joking with him. He is a native of Hedong, without any family background, so he relied on his serious and down-to-earth work to find a small official in Taishou Mansion to support his family, and he never thought that someone would invite him, and he was somewhat flattered.

Seeing that Xu Huang didn't speak, Chen Zhi thought he had concerns, so he told his personal experience. Sun Ce's background is not high, he is rejected by the family, he is not willing to deal with the family, and is more willing to get close to people who are close to him. Xu Huang listened to it and felt the same way, no longer hesitated, and accepted Chen Zhi's recommendation. With Wang Chang's permission, after handing over the envoys, he became Sun Ce's subordinate.

At the end of the banquet, Sun Ce was overjoyed when he learned that Xu Huang had accepted his invitation, and immediately rushed back to the camp with Xu Huang. didn't care about resting, so he immediately asked Zhang Hong and Guo Jia to come and introduce Xu Huang to them. Guo Jia chatted with Xu Huang, and felt that Xu Huang was thoughtful and his martial arts skills were good, so he was suitable for being a scout. After Sun Ce obtained Xu Huang's consent, he put him in the scout camp, temporarily became the tun chief, led a hundred people, and became Guo Jia's deputy. After getting acquainted with the environment, they will be promoted according to merit.

Xu Huang was overjoyed and bowed down. Although Tun Chang is not a big official, Zhang Hong and Guo Jia are Sun Ce's cronies, Sun Ce introduced him to these two people, and asked him to be Guo Jia's deputy, which is a great trust in him.

Guo Jia is also very happy, although Lu Meng and others are in the alliance, after all, they are too young, and they have no problem doing things by themselves, but it is a bit difficult to manage others, and many times he has to come forward to deal with it personally. With Xu Huang as his helper, his task is easier. This is also Sun Ce's concern for him.

After arranging Xu Huang, Sun Ce took out the feather knife and placed it in front of Zhang Hong and Guo Jia.

The strong contrast between the luxurious knife box and the quaint knife suddenly made Zhang Guo and the others speechless. After listening to Sun Ce's explanation of the possible origin of this knife, they all agreed with Sun Ce's opinion, Jia Xu must have a deep meaning in doing this.

"The general handled it very well." Zhang Hong closed the knife box and said lightly: "Although Xiang Yu is brave, he is not worthy of the general's emulation, and the name of this little overlord is just talked about by ordinary people, and the general should not admit it." ”

Sun Ce nodded. Xiaobawang sounds very majestic, but it's actually not a good word. The source is that Xu Gong told the imperial court, saying that he had different intentions and should be recalled to the idle place of the Beijing Division, and it was not appropriate to be released. Now what he is most worried about is that Chang'an will send an edict to let him go to Chang'an, don't want the reputation of this little overlord, don't get it until the end Xu Gong didn't say it, he gave himself a pit.

Guo Jia also agreed with Zhang Hong, but he raised another question. "Since this knife is Dong Zhuo's relic, how could it fall into Jia Xu's hands?" He rolled his eyes. "Could it be that someone escaped from Chang'an and rushed to Hedong?"

Sun Ce remained silent, but secretly applauded in his heart. Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, he also has such a question, he asked Wang Chang and Xu Huang sideways, but neither of them knows, it seems that Jia Xu's secrecy work is quite good. A person who can access Dong Zhuo's beloved sword, a person who can make Jia Xu so secretive, this person must not be an ordinary person.

Who is this person?
