In the fourth year of the first peace, Zhengdan, Danyang Wanling.

"Smack! Smack! Cuizhu threw it into the fire, making a crisp sound of explosion,

Sun Quan and Lu Yi covered their ears and looked at the busy Yicong with a smile, wanting to go up and join in the fun, but they were afraid that the new clothes on their bodies would be squeezed out, so they looked back at Sun Ce from time to time. Sun Ce leaned on the head of the city, smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to play. Sun Quan was encouraged, screamed with joy, rushed over, picked up a bundle of green bamboos and threw them into the fire, sparks splashed everywhere, the fire dimmed for a while, and soon burned more violently, making a series of crisp sounds, crackling and crackling.

The crowd burst into laughter. Sun Ce also laughed, and his voice was very loud.

After capturing Niuzhuji, he did not go directly to Huiji, but came to Wanling, the county governor of Danyang County. Not only did he come, but the entire army came, and the boat entered the Zhongjiang River from the Yangtze River, and then traced the Lingshui upstream, which could go directly to the city of Wanling. Their arrival made Wanling lively all of a sudden, not only suddenly there were thousands more people, but also a large number of goods. Sun Ce exchanged a large amount of materials with the merchants, in addition to rewarding some of the soldiers, he also took out some of them and handed them to Chen Dao, so that he could arrange people to go to the market to trade, and the price was very fair, a little cheaper than the Wanling merchants who went out to traffic.

Chen Zhi was grateful. Of course, he knew that this was Sun Ce establishing his prestige for him. Danyang was robbed, and it is a very practical move to eliminate the rejection of the locals and be accepted by them as soon as possible.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, having fun with the people, Sun Ce also climbed to the top of the inner city and watched the soldiers of the righteous battalion laughing.

Huang Yueying and Feng Wan stood aside, eating snacks while looking at the people in the distance, feeling fresh and a little scared. Wanling Han Yue is mixed, there are Han people wearing headscarves and short undergarments, and there are Yue people with vertebral bun faces, which looks a little scary. Not to mention that Feng Wan, who grew up in Guanzhong, has never seen it, even Huang Yueying has seen it for the first time. Xiangyang can also occasionally see barbarians, but not as fierce as these people.

Separated by a river, it felt like two worlds, and the two of them muttered non-stop and let out a chuckle from time to time.

Yang Xiu was also very curious, and chatted with Guo Jia without a match. It's been a busy few months, and it's rare to have a break these days. Unlike Huang Feng and the others' pure curiosity, Yang Xiu didn't have a good impression of these barbarians, his words were full of contempt, and he was very depressed at the thought that he would deal with these people for a while. Guo Jia is not so repulsed by him, he wants to understand these Yue people, of course, the purpose is not simple, understanding them is not to appreciate them, but to conquer them.

"General, when are we leaving?" Yang Xiu walked up to Sun Ce and said loudly. The sound of firecrackers is too loud, and the cheers are too loud to be heard. Despite this, this was still not in line with Yang Xiu's speaking habits, Sun Ce couldn't hear clearly, and looked back at him with a puzzled look in his eyes. Yang Xiu had to lean closer and asked loudly again.

"Are you in a hurry to go to Huiji, or are you in a hurry to go back to Chang'an?"

"Anywhere, just don't see these barbarians again." Yang Xiu waved his hand. After all, Huiji is the county of Huiji County, although it is also Yuedi, there will inevitably be barbarians, which is much more civilized than Wanling.

Sun Ce smiled. "Barbarians? It's terrible to be uneducated. ”

"What did you say?" Yang Xiu's eyes were puzzled.

"It's terrible for me to say you're uneducated." Sun Ce said loudly. This time, not only Yang Xiu heard it, but others also heard it and looked over one after another. Yang Xiu's delicate eyebrows raised, and he suddenly came to his senses. "General...... Say I'm uneducated? ”

"Hmm." Sun Ce nodded vigorously.

Yang Xiu laughed and arched his hand. "Oh, that's what I need to ask."

Sun Ce looked at Yang Xiu with a smile. Yang Xiu has been with the army for so long, and he has always been used as an accountant, although things are done quite smoothly and he has been praised many times, Yang Xiu is not very happy in his heart, and his sense of accomplishment is not so strong. Scholars, of course, they have to govern the country and level the world, who rarely settles accounts every day. It's just that in the barracks, there are no scribes under Sun Ce, especially no scribes who are proficient in scriptures, Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others are full of wisdom, but they are too far behind when it comes to scriptures, and they are not Yang Xiu's opponents. Yang Xiu was not interested in bullying them, as if he couldn't find an opponent's master, it was difficult to find a defeat. was suddenly said by Sun Ce that he was uneducated, and immediately awakened the fighting passion in his blood and was refreshed.

Sun Ce cleaned up his mentality. In terms of learning, Yang Xiu dumped him eight streets, but he didn't talk about it. He counted on Yang Xiu to conquer cities and land and make achievements in culture, but this attitude of contempt and exclusion was unacceptable, and he had to be attacked. He has been preparing, and today is also a timely meeting, so he took the opportunity to throw out this topic. You have to have foreshadowing in everything you do, and it's too late to talk about it when you get to the meeting.

"Don't be so excited, I know you've read "Taishi Gongshu", although you don't say it, you don't really believe it in your heart, right?"

Yang Xiu blinked, noncommittal. Of course, he had read "Taishi Gongshu" and knew that there was such an article as "Yue Shijia", but he really didn't believe it much. "Historical Records" was very famous in later generations, but its status in the Han Dynasty was not very high, and it was regarded as a slanderous book, and there were many people who did not think about "Historical Records", and Yang Xiu was just one of them. If Sun Ce used the record of "Historical Records" as evidence, Yang Xiu would inevitably refute it.

"I won't tell you what the five elements of the south is fire, and the Yue people are the fire after Zhu Rong's statement, I know you don't believe it. I'll just ask you a question, do you know why the more people are, the more people go one by one? ”

Yang Xiu couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't expect the general to be proficient in discipline, and I asked the general for advice."

"Walking represents leaving, crossing, what does Hu represent?"

Yang Xiu laughed out loud. "Is the general saying that the Yue people are not only not barbarians, but once a royal family that held great power?"

"It's hard to say whether it's a royal family or not, but the ancestors of the Yue people are not barbarians who drink blood, which is basically more reliable." Sun Ce didn't wait for Yang Xiu to refute, and said: "Don't forget, Dayu went to Huiji when he controlled the water, and Huiji now has Yuwangtai." ”

Yang Xiu was not good at directly opposing it for a while. "These are all legends, the village man's wild language, the so-called Yuwangtai is just a mound, and there is no monument, who knows if it is true or false?"

"Even if there is a monument, I'm afraid you don't know these words. You haven't even studied the Chu script of the Warring States period thoroughly, and you still want to know the script of the beginning of Xia? Sun Ce sneered. I can't find the stele, but I still have a way to prove my conjecture. ”

"How do you prove it?"

"Ancient jade often appears in the Qiantang and Yuhang areas, and some of the shapes are still very strange."

The expression on Yang Xiu's face suddenly changed, and he stared at Sun Ce for a long time before he said uncertainly, "General...... It can't be a joke, right? ”

Sun Ce smiled, his eyes playful. "Do you think I'm joking? Yang Dezu, the opportunity is in front of you, if you don't dare to face it, it's too late to go back now. He said faintly: "This is much more influential than a few ancient texts, not only will the modern scriptures studied by your Yang family be in trouble, but the entire Confucian classics may have to be rewritten." ”
