Chen Wen is from Runan and is considered a famous scholar. He naturally fell in love with Yuan Shao and did not take Sun Ce seriously. Guo Jia was very disdainful of this type of person and denounced him as a fool.

"Chen Wen is not willing to die. Don't ruin Jiao Zhongqing. Assassination is not his advantage." Sun Ce said: "You must pay attention to the cover for him."

"Don't worry, General, even if you are willing to give up, I can't give up. Cultivating an assassin for a few months at most. A good quest requires talent, and it's not something that anyone can do if they want."

"It's reasonable." Sun Ce laughed.

Jiao Zhongqing failed to sue the lawsuit in Luoyang. After returning, he accepted Guo Jia's invitation and became a Lujiang inmate. Because he left his post without permission, the position of a warehouse clerk was lost and needed a source of income to support his family. He also wanted to speak for Lu Kang. This task was exactly what he wanted and was very active in his work. He knew the words and was good at calculating, was steady, and had quick action. He was very successful in his work. Guo Jia was very satisfied with him and had promoted him to the person in charge of Lujiang and entrusted the information collection work of the entire Lujiang. In order to protect him, he did not involve assassination, lurking and other private matters, but various information was summarized and reported to Guo Jia in a timely manner through letters. Even if Chen Deng knew about it, he could do nothing.

Regarding the position of the Yangzhou Governor, Sun Ce thought it would be better not to participate for the time being. His current tactic is to counterattack against the defensive counterattack, and to lure the enemy into Runan as much as possible. Taking the initiative to compete for the Yangzhou Governor is contrary to the established tactics, and it has no practical significance. It is not that he can control Yangzhou with the seal of the Yangzhou Governor in his waist, and he also needs strength.

He had the seal of the Yuzhou Governor in his waist, so what could he do? Most of the powerful families in Yuzhou still do not miss him.

"By the way, have you found out Xu Jing's whereabouts?"

"I found out that in Wu County, I was dependent on the Wu County Commander Xu Gong and lived under someone else's roof, and he had the possibility of returning."

"It would be better if you are willing to come back, and you wouldn't force it. This matter has nothing to do with us. You should focus on the prefects and important officials of Yangzhou counties. In the future, we can take Yangzhou to prescribe the right medicine."

"I see."

Sun Ce and Guo Jia always talked in a few words, concise and clear manners. After the exchange, the two started gossiping. Looking at Xu Chu and Dian Wei, two big men in front of Huang Yueying, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile.

"General, Huang Dajiang is very popular."

"That was earned by her ability." Sun Ce was very proud. After the father and daughter of the Huang family took charge of the Iron Officer of Nanyang, they sorted out the information from all generations and naturally discovered the importance of temperature to iron smelting. Then they communicated with blacksmiths from all over the world to combine a series of technical means scattered in the hands of each person. After a lot of experiments, they have initially mastered the research direction and stood at the peak of weapon manufacturing in this era.

No warrior doesn't like the sword and blade. It's hard for Huang Yueying to be unpopular with such a unique skill.

"A woman can also make a warrior like Xu Chu and Dian Wei bow down. If it weren't for what he saw with his own eyes, who would believe it?"

"This is the bright way for scholars." Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and laughed. The father and daughter of the Huang family are the benchmarks he set. Of course, he needs to spare no effort to promote it. This is the purpose of making Huang Yueying appear in public. Social development requires intellectuals, but it is not the kind of intellectuals who regard themselves as descendants of saints after reading a few sentences.

"Changing customs and customs is not easy, and it is difficult to achieve results without ten years of hard work." Guo Jia said quietly: "The general has such patience, and not everyone has such patience."

Sun Ce said with a smile: "So we must all live longer, control the situation, be good helmsmen, and don't let the big ship that has just set sail deviate from the direction, and you must not let the pirates get rid of it."

Guo Jia laughed, curled up his arms, showing off his biceps, which had just been in the forefront. "General, I am very strong now, and it will not be a year after about fifty years."

"You and I have been together for fifty years, what are the winds and things that cannot be changed?" Sun Ce put his hands on his hips and raised his hands high, making a great man's posture. "For fifty years, I dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the new sky. Look at the romantic figures, all of them are in the present day."

"Oh, General, so let's have a good time."

A chuckle full of teasing and crackling applause came from behind him. Sun Ce turned around and saw Yuan Quan leading a group of half-year-old children and pushing the deer cart. There were four buckets on the deer cart, which contained mung bean soup and Hu cakes. The weather was hot, and the soldiers would sweat profusely even if they took off their shirts and practiced. After discussing with Mrs. Wu, Yuan Quan and others took Sun Quan and others to make mung bean soup and Hu cakes every day to add meals to the soldiers. Although each person had only one bowl of soup and one piece of cake, they were very popular. Sun Quan and others were also very happy, treating this as relaxing after work every day, and enjoying it.

"Zhongkang, Uncle Come, let the soldiers rest, afternoon tea time."

Xu Chu and Chen Dao responded and ordered Yi Cong, who was practicing, to rest. When the soldiers saw Yuan Quan and others coming, they had already watched with a long time, ordered them, and immediately surrounded them, lined up to receive food, and then squatted in groups of three or five in the shade of the tree, eating and drinking in the corner, and joking while eating, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Yuan Quan came to Sun Ce with a bowl of soup in one hand and handed it to Sun Ce and Guo Jia. Guo Jia bowed to thank him, took it with both hands, and squeezed his eyes at Sun Ce. "General, I'll go get a cake, do you want it?"

Sun Ce signaled him to take his own advice. Guo Jia went to pick up the cakes, but it was true. Sun Ce took a sip of the soup and praised: "This soup is good, salty and light."

"I used new salt from Xuzhou. I did the experiment and specially weighed it."

"The new salt in Xuzhou has arrived?" Sun Ce took another sip and tasted it carefully. Different salts have different saltiness, and usually it takes several adjustments to grasp the precise results. Yuan Quan could use it so accurately for the first time. He really put in effort, and it was definitely not based on his feelings. "How did you do it?"

"The experimental method Achu said is to serve ten bowls of the same soup, taste it one by one with different amounts of salt, and choose the best taste."

Sun Ce smiled and gave a thumbs up. "Sister learns from one example and can use Achu's iron-making method in cooking, master."

"Cooking is also a way to treat ingredients and blend the five flavors. If you are careless, the taste will be very different, no worse than iron smelting."

Sun Ce sighed and scratched his eyebrows. "Okay, okay, I'm just worried that I'll be used to eating the food my sister cooks, and I'll be unacceptable to the military food in the future."

Yuan Quan smiled but said nothing, turned around and walked towards the deer cart. When the soldiers surrounded the deer cart looked at it, they all gave in. Yuan Quan was halfway through and turned around. "By the way, Mr. Zhang Zibu is back and is taking a shower and resting. Let's say that you will be talking to you when it's cooler tonight. Sister Yin is also here, and there are two people walking with him. Who are you guessing it?"

Sun Ce was so amused and laughed. Just say it, what's the point of keeping people's appetite? It's the most annoying thing to say half of it and keep half of it.

Having said that, Sun Ce did not dare to wait until the evening to see Zhang Zhao. He explained the training matters and hurried to the inn. Zhang Zhao had just finished bathing, put on his hair and open his arms, sat in the hall to cool off, and talked to Zhang Cheng. Unpredictable that Sun Ce and Guo Jia broke in, he was a little panicked, and quickly pulled the top and asked the little slave who was serving him to take out the clothes.

Sun Ce laughed and signaled that the little slave didn't have to come over. "Please be careful of being alone. You are contrary to the teachings of the saints."

Zhang Zhao was amused and crying. "General, this is my private room. You broke in without notice, but said I was rude?"

Guo Jia smiled and pointed at the surroundings. "Mr. Zhang, this is a hall, not a room. If the name is not right, the words will not go well."

Zhang Zhao was speechless, so he simply raised his head and looked like a boyish deficit.
