Sun Jing didn't realize the importance of this matter, but Sun Ce was afraid that he would feel left out, so he found something for him to do to show that he was making the best use of his talents. But he is willing to do it, and he has more information after recreation, so why not do it.

The uncle and nephew have a common language and are much closer. Sun Jing's eldest son, Sun Hui, had been by his side, looking at Sun Ce intently. He was fifteen years old and looked sturdy, not quite the same temperament as his father. Sun Quan pulled him aside, and the two chatted a few words and became close, talking and laughing. Sun Wei showed envy in his words. Sun Quan was three years younger than him, and he had already followed Sun Ce everywhere, but he could only stay at home with his father. Sun Jing is in the prime of life, and if he wants to, his status will not be lower than Wu Jing.

When Sun Jian raised his army a few years ago, Sun Jing once gathered five or six hundred people from his clan to support Sun Jian, and he helped Sun Jian a lot more than Wu Jing.

"Come with us." Sun Quan plucked him.

"Will it work?"

"Surely, as long as my uncle doesn't object. My eldest brother would not object. ”

Sun Wei's heart was moved, and he rolled his eyes, thinking about how to ask Sun Jing later.

Yang Xiu stood aside, watching Sun Ce and Sun Jing talking and laughing, and felt very uncomfortable. Guo Jia and Pang Tong laughed in a low voice, not knowing what they were discussing. Yang Xiu thought about it, leaned over, and arched his hand. Guo Jia and Pang Tong exchanged a look and hurriedly returned the salute.

"Sacrificial wine, can I ask for one thing?"

Guo Jia smiled. "Dezu, what is so cautious, you have to use the word "ask."

"The general said that there was an ancient kingdom here three generations ago, do you believe it?"

"You don't believe me?"

"Of course I don't believe it, there are no ancient records, there are no city sites, and there are not even many villages, how can I believe it?"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment. "The Hongnong Yang family is said to be from Chiquan Hou Yang Xi, but is it true?"

Yang Xiu frowned slightly and did not answer Guo Jia's words. He understood what Guo Jia meant, and he didn't want to answer the question. Guo Jia turned around, leaned his back against the railing, raised his elbows, and looked at Yang Xiu with a smile. Yang Xiu was originally in a bad mood, but seeing Guo Jia like this, he didn't have the interest to speak, so he turned around and left. Guo Jia said: "Actually, it's not a question of whether you believe it or not, but whether you believe it or not." You're worried that what General Sun said is true, right? ”

Yang Xiu stopped, looked at Guo Jia, and hesitated for a while. "You're not worried?"

"Of course I'm worried, but I want to know the truth more."

"What if...... Yes? ”

"Then face it." Guo Jia stared at Yang Xiu's eyes, and his expression became rare and solemn. "Hide, can you get through it?"

Yang Xiu's lips moved, and he stopped talking. Guo Jia straightened up and slowly walked in front of Yang Xiu. "Dezu, you have long felt that there is something wrong with the "Book of Shang", but you don't dare to say it, right? You say you don't believe it, but you already believe it in your heart, right? ”

Yang Xiu's face suddenly turned red, red as if he was about to drip blood, he looked at Guo Jia in embarrassment, his eyes kept changing, fierce for a while, weak for a while. Guo Jia met his gaze, firm and sharp, like a sword, piercing people's hearts. Yang Xiu didn't dare to look at it anymore, and slowly turned his head over, his breathing was short, his heart was beating like a drum, and it took a while to calm down.

"Yes, in the books...... There are often disagreements, even in my family's scriptures, which are often understood differently, but ...... But ......" Yang Xiu turned around, and there was a little more anxiety in his eyes. "If these are all fake, wouldn't the hearts of the people in the world be in chaos, and where would there be peace?"

Guo Jia said faintly: "The world is already in chaos, you are just covering your ears and stealing the bell." It's like you know that Chang'an's imperial court change can't succeed, but you're still trying your best to save it. Dezu, your father and son are loyal and commendable, but you are too old-fashioned. To put it mildly, the reason why your Hongnong Yang family is not as good as the Yuan family is because you are unwilling to face reality. ”

"You ......"

Guo Jia raised his hand and signaled Yang Xiu not to worry. "Do you know why the general kept you around?"

Yang Xiu was speechless, embarrassed. Guo Jia is Sun Ce's confidant, and he is responsible for all the details, and Guo Jia knows about his letter back to Chang'an. Although he tried his best to prevent Guo Jia from having a chance to see the contents of the letter, he believed that Guo Jia would definitely be able to guess. Guo Jianeng knew, of course Sun Ce also knew, Sun Ce still kept him by his side, there was only one explanation, Sun Ce was not afraid that he would report the news to Chang'an, and he had the confidence to win.

Although he didn't know where Sun Ce's confidence came from, the development of the situation continued to prove it. Xun Yu transferred Sun Ce to Huiji Taishou, just to transfer Sun Ce from Nanyang and let him get caught up in Yangzhou's affairs and not get out, but since Sun Ce entered Yangzhou, he has been overwhelmed, and even the Wujun family has been subdued by him. Sun Ce has not yet set foot in Huiji, and Xun Yu's plan has failed most of it.

Although he didn't know whether Yuan Shao was going to attack Yuzhou with Xun Yu's push, Shandong had become a battlefield between Sun Ce and Yuan Shao, and the imperial court could only be used as a spectator, which was nothing to doubt.

It made him desperate. If jade can really be found in the Yuhang area, there will be supporting evidence for the legend of Shun avoiding Danzhu, and Sun Ce's biggest weakness will be compensated, and the blow to the imperial court will far exceed those of those Weiwei. In the context of Shun's avoidance of Danzhu, Sun Ce became the sage Shun, but the Son of Heaven became Danzhu.

Regardless of whether Sun Ce admits it or not, Yang Xiu has always thought so, so he is very sensitive to this matter. The more confident Sun Ce was, the more uneasy he became. At this moment, he was broken by Guo Jia, he was embarrassed, as if he had been stripped of his clothes, there was nothing to hide, and his heart was like ashes.

Just as they were stalemate, a group of people walked on the official road in the distance, with a car in the middle, and more than ten riders in front and behind the car. Yang Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, and his heart was uneasy. Jiangdong lacks horses, carriages are not uncommon, knights are even rarer, this group of people actually everyone has horses, but I am afraid that it is a strong and powerful force. Such a small number of people naturally couldn't have come to trouble Sun Ce, but more like they came to seek refuge with Sun Ce.

Someone greeted him, and the other party stopped on the shore, and after a few words, the righteous man on duty walked over, got on the boat, and came to Sun Ce. Yang Xiu pricked up his ears and listened intently.

"General, Qian Tang people ask to see Quan Rou."

Sun Ce straightened up, glanced at the crowd on the shore, and turned his head to look at Sun Jing. "What kind of person is this Quan Rou?"

Sun Jing didn't know that he rarely went out, and when he asked him who was in Fuchun County, he might not be able to tell him everything, let alone Qian Tang. Yang Xiu thought about it, suddenly made a decision, and walked over quickly. "General, I know him."

Sun Ce was surprised. "You know him? Has he ever been an official? ”

"A few years ago, he served as Shang Shulang in the imperial court, worked with his father, and I also had a relationship, so it was better for me to welcome him."

Sun Ce glanced at Yang Xiu, and then at Guo Jia. Guo Jia nodded quietly. Sun Ce raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Okay, there's Laudezu."

Yang Xiu bowed down to receive the order, lifted the hem of his clothes, and quickly got off the boat. Pang Tong walked up to Guo Jia and said softly: "Sacrificial wine, what do you mean by him?" ”

Guo Jia turned around and knelt on the railing, looked at Yang Xiu's back, and shook the feather fan gently. "No matter what he means, he can't stop the situation, those who follow the trend prosper, and those who go against the trend die. Back then, the master and son couldn't turn the tide, so what could their father and son do? ”

Pang Tong smiled. "Having said that, the Hongnong Yang family is also a family of the fourth and third dukes, and his support for the general is a big blow to Yuan Shao."

Guo Jia crooked his mouth and laughed.
