Sun Ce was very satisfied. Young people were easy to communicate, and they could do it in just a few words. If it were the old man Cai Yong, I don’t know how much it would cost.

So, Cai Yong let him write about history in Xiangyang. It is better to leave the young people to do such things in the creation of the times. Even if you make some mistakes, it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake. You have enough time to correct your mistakes, attract lessons, and make a comeback.

There is another reason to choose Cai Yan instead of Cai Yong: Sun Ce was afraid that they would fall into the evil of Buddhism. Buddhism is similar to Huang Lao, and it is very suitable for the elderly or those who are disappointed. Cai Yong happened to be both and it was very easy to get into the trap. Cai Yan was not the case. Although he had suffered a lot before, he was happy to get married. He married Zhou Yu and was newlywed. This is a time when life was sweet. He wished he could live another five hundred years, so that she believed that the four elements were empty, so she was not interested. Even if she wanted to cultivate the next life, she would not be so persistent.

After arguing with Cai Yan, Sun Ce was worried that she would not pay enough attention to it, so he mentioned Alexander again. Unexpectedly, Cai Yan was not unfamiliar with it, and even talked about a past story with Sun Ce.

An Shigao, the Taoist of Futu who once translated scriptures in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, was the prince of An Shigao. According to him, An Shigao was a country built by Alexander's subordinates. He produced the best war horses, especially the armored cavalry that was good at using both men and horses. It is said that the origin comes from Alexander, which is called a partner cavalry, which charges and destroys everything, and makes many military achievements. After An Shigao arrived in Luoyang, he had contact with many noble people, and Yuan Shao was one of them. He was very interested in the cavalry of An Shigao and asked An Shigao many times for advice.

Sun Ce suddenly realized that Yuan Shao's armored cavalry came from here, and he couldn't tell that this man was a man who could keep up with the times. Unfortunately, he only learned the superficial and did not really understand. The so-called armored cavalry is also a good thing and failed to exert its true power. The key to technology lies in the details. A slight difference or a thousand miles of loss can be solved by having money. If you cannot digest and absorb it and turn it into your own, you will always be separated by a layer.

Why did Yuan Shao's armored cavalry not have enough impact? He used the war horses provided by the Xianbei and Wuhuan people. Although they were carefully selected, they were not as tall and strong as the Western Regions horses. The heavy cavalry had very high physical requirements for war horses. The war horses were not physically strong and could not fight for a long time, and their power was greatly reduced. Yuan Shao used armored cavalry to attack the mobs like the Black Mountain Army, of course they would break. When they encountered well-trained elites, they were even more passive when they encountered light cavalry.

Sun Ce explained his feelings to Cai Yan. Cai Yan was also very moved. She knew that Yuan Shao was defeated, and that Huang Yueying, Qin Luo and others had made contributions, but she did not know the details. After hearing what Sun Ce said, she finally had an understanding. Although Sun Ce was limited by insufficient horse resources, he eliminated the huge gap between the cavalry between the two sides through tactics and technical means, and finally achieved a reversal. It can be seen that Sun Ce's emphasis on technology has its own reasons. He wanted to fully understand the civilization of the Western Regions, which was not comparable to Yuan Shao's brief taste. His own tasks should be an important part of the long-term plan, just as he asked Huang Chengyan to take over the Nanyang Iron Officer as soon as he took Nanyang.

"The general's vision and his long-term plan are not comparable to ordinary people." Cai Yan was convinced.

Sun Ce laughed, not humble, and accepted it calmly. This is indeed his advantage, no one else can compare with Zhou Yu, and neither can he do it.

"I dare to make a mistake. The general came to Nanyang this time, not just to have a wedding banquet, right? Are you planning a plan again? I heard that Mrs. Mi went to Wan City in the past two days to solve the troubles that Nanyang cloth merchants encountered?"

Sun Ce gave a thumbs up. "Sacrifice is a person with a heart."

He smiled. "I have no choice. I have a soft mouth and a short hand. Nanyang merchants borrow money to help me quell the rebellion. Yu the court is also a meritorious person, but now he is treated like this. If I don't stand up and say justice, who will lend me money in the future?"

"A general is not afraid of being trapped by merchants? Merchants value profit, gather when they are profitable, and disperse when they are not profitable. Moreover, they are insatiable and will inevitably backfire in the future."

Sun Strategy thought. "Is there anything in this world that has benefits but no harm?"

"Benevolence and righteousness."

Sun Ce smiled but said nothing.

"This is wrong?"

Sun Ce thought about it. "It can't be said that it's completely wrong, it's just biased. If I were to say it, I think it's the strong who are qualified to talk about benevolence and righteousness. Without the strength, there are only two consequences: either sacrifice your life for righteousness and become a dead person; or become a hypocrite and live in vain."

Cai Yan's expression was a little unnatural.

Sun Ce pretended not to see it, and continued, "Neither of these two is my wish, so it is necessary to be strong. Of course, one person is strong after all. If you want to be truly invincible to the world, you still need talent like Gongjin and Jijiu to help. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, each of you get the right place, so that you can work together. Just as scholars cannot use scholars because they can compete for power, they cannot use military personnel, and they cannot use military personnel because they may be respectful, and they cannot belittle merchants because they value profit. In fact, this is the same principle. Too much is as bad as too much, I will take it."

Cai Yan nodded. "The general has a profound understanding of the doctrine of the mean, and he can be said to be born with it."

"Shame, ashamed." Sun Ce bowed, a little embarrassed, and showed off again.

Seeing Cai Yan being persuaded by Sun Ce, Sun Yi was envious. He believed that he could practice martial arts as powerful as Sun Ce, but he could never practice such a strong eloquence. He didn't study much, so why could the eldest brother be eloquent and eloquent? This is probably born and cannot be learned, otherwise why would so many famous scholars be willing to support the eldest brother?

Sun Ce said goodbye to Cai Yan, left the kindergarten, and turned to the Bencao Cottage. Zhang Zhongjing was busy. Seeing Sun Ce in, he had no time to get up to greet him, so he could only nod. Sun Ce signaled him not to mind and sat aside and waited. As soon as he sat down, a middle-aged businessman hurried in. Seeing a lot of people in the hall, his face looked a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and bowed to Sun Ce.

"This general, can you let me... ask Zhang Jijiu to diagnose first? I really have some urgent matters and cannot be delayed."

Sun Ce knew that he had misunderstood, so he quickly agreed and asked Dian Wei and others to retreat outside, leaving only Sun Yi next to him. The merchant thanked him so much and looked at Zhang Zhongjing with great gratitude. He wanted to discuss with those people several times, but gave up. In front of him, there were at least a dozen people waiting to see a doctor. Sun Ce saw that his forehead was full of sweat, and his gorgeous silk clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was pressed against his body, but his face was rosy, not like a patient, and he couldn't help asking: "Where is the uncomfortable thing under his feet?"

"Oh, it's no big deal, I just feel a little nervous. Isn't this going to Guanzhong? I'm afraid something happens halfway through, so I want to ask Zhang Jijiu to take care of his pulse and ask for peace of mind. If you have anything to pay attention to, you can also be prepared to avoid being in a hurry."

"Didn't it mean that the business in Guanzhong is not easy to do? Why are you still going to Guanzhong?"

The merchant smiled bitterly. "The business in Guanzhong is not easy to do, but where can I go if I don't go to Guanzhong? It's not easy to do any business. There are nearly a hundred cloth merchants in Nanyang alone. If I don't go to Guanzhong, I can only reduce the price. Otherwise, the goods cannot be sold and the capital will not be able to come back. It's August. If I don't set out again, I don't have time to come back for the New Year, so I can only stay in Guanzhong, which will cost a lot more and a lot of expenses. If I don't do it well, it will be a waste of time. Alas, the business is not easy to do now."

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows slightly and his heart moved.
