In mid-June, Sun Ce arrived in Donglaihuang County and met Taishi Ci who had been away for a long time.

Seeing Taishici in Huang County was Sun Ce's careful choice. Huang County was Taishici's hometown. Taishici's mother was nostalgic for her hometown and did not move to Wu County. Taishici applied and Sun Ce agreed, but she did not force her. This time she had to transfer Taishici to Youzhou. The mother and son would look at each other across the sea in the future, making it even more inconvenient to meet. In order to make Taishici feel at ease, Sun Ce had to make some arrangements.

For this reason, when Taishi Ci saw Sun Ce, not only Liu He was with her, but also her twenty dowry palace maids were there. Before this, Sun Ce had already discussed with Liu He that he wanted to choose one or two women from her dowry palace maids who were of suitable origin, appearance and personality to marry Taishi Ci, either for wife or concubine, and then look at Taishi Ci's opinions. Because to serve Taishi Ci's mother, in the end, she would also look at Taishi Ci's mother's opinions.

Taishi Ci is a major general under Sun Ce. He is not only a monarch and minister, but also a soulmate who can entrust each other with each other. There is no need to say much about his future achievements. Moreover, he is tall and outstanding. What is even more difficult is that he is not only good at martial arts, but also a little knowledgeable about literature and art. Among the generals under Sun Ce, he can be considered both civil and military. Now Sun Ce has come forward to arrange it himself, and the palace maids are already moved. Now there is only blind dates left to meet and see if Taishi Ci falls in love with them.

The Han people valued superficial appearance, and both men and women attached great importance to appearance. Most of these palace maids came from officials and were dowry by the eldest princess, and their spirits were different from ordinary maids. If possible, no one would want to find a vicious martial artist as their son-in-law. Sun Ce made a fuss about Taishi Ci, but how many of them were not exaggerated? So no matter what, it was necessary to meet each other.

When Taishici stepped forward to salute, the palace maids stared at him with twenty pairs of eyes. Even though Taishici was born and died and had experienced countless battles, they were a little confused. I wonder what Sun Ce was doing.

Sun Ce was proud of his prank. "Why, Ziyi is also afraid of people watching?"

Taishici was a little embarrassed and had no calmness when fighting in front of the battle. Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled the palace maids to go down. Then he introduced the situation to Taishici, and handed over a booklet with portraits and brief introductions of these palace maids.

"You have a look first, and then have a deep chat if you like it, and take it to meet Lingtang. Most of these women are from officials and are well-versed in literature and art. It will be no problem to take care of their husbands and children in the future. It is not a problem to serve Lingtang in daily life. I have told them that there are many people who are interested, just waiting to see you and see if I, a matchmaker, lie. Now that they have finished watching you, it's time to see them." Sun Ce said with a smile. He paid special attention just now. Most of the twenty palace maids were quite satisfied with Taishi Ci, and only two or three were not very moved.

Taishici was very moved. Sun Ce famously respected women and took the initiative to make such arrangements for him, which was sincere. He should have been married long ago. However, for the past ten years, he either fled or fought and had no time to deal with this matter, which has been delayed until now.

"Thank you, lord." Taishici carefully put away the booklet. "When I report to my mother and get permission, I will reply to my lord."

"It should be." Sun Ce stood with his hands behind his back and paced back and forth on the deck. "Ziyi, tell me what you think."

Taishi Ci closed his smile and became serious. He came late because he wanted to hand over to Xu Kun. He was originally responsible for the war in Pingyuan and Jinan, and directly fought against Yuan Xi, not just Jinan affairs. Xu Kun was transferred to the prefect of Jinan and took over the affairs of Jinan. Pingyuan County had to be handed over to others. How to deal with it is a matter of considering ability. Before this, Sun Ce did not give specific instructions, which was trust in him and a space for free arrangement. Sun Ce asked him about the handling process at this moment, which was equivalent to an assessment before transfer.

Taishi Ci started from receiving the order and explained his arrangements one by one, how to do it, why, and what were the last resort? Sun Ce did not need to ask questions. He explained them clearly. He knew very well that even if he didn't say it, Xu Kun and others would report it. Due to different positions, some things may not be as good as Xu Kun's intentions. Instead of Xu Kun's words, it would be better to report to Sun Ce himself, and it could be explained more clearly.

Sun Ce listened quietly. "So, did Taishan be handed over to Zang Ba?"

"Zang Ba is a person who is in charge of success. He has no ambition and does not want to stay away from home too far. I think it is not appropriate to force him. Instead of hesitating, it is better to let him guard the land with peace of mind. Although the Zang family has a small family, it is not a big wealth. The aristocratic family in Mount Tai will not be connected with him too deeply, which may be a little inconvenient, but it is unlikely to cause great trouble."

Sun Ce nodded. When Taishici was transferred to the war zone and moved to Rencheng, Zang Ba took over Taishici's defense in Taishan County. Later, he cooperated with Taishici to advance to the plains and cooperated with Taishici. Taishici should have a clear idea of ​​him. Taishici is in the southwest of Taishan County, belonging to Yanzhou, and some of them went deep into Xuzhou. Cao Ang also has many Taishan generals, and the people of Taishan County have certain centrifugal strength. He originally hoped that Taishici could bring Zang Ba and others to Liaodong this time, but Zang Ba was unwilling to go.

But it doesn't matter. As Taishi Ci said, there may be small troubles, but there will be no big problems. Even if there is something, I believe Xu Kun and Ji Ling have the ability to deal with it.

"Very good." Sun Ce concluded the matter.

"As for the Taishan Goat family..." Taishi Ci bowed and bowed again. "I think I can use the strategy of being gentle and slowly plan it."

"Speak and listen."

"Here." Taishi Ci took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Sun Ce. Sun Ce took it and looked at it. It was the names of the Yang family who served as officials or lived in seclusion. Each person had a brief description. Two of them were familiar with Sun Ce, one was Yang Xu, the prefect of the Hanging Fish, and the other was Yang Zhi, a party member named Bagu. She had no impression of the other Yang invaded and Yang Hu, who was known to later generations, did not even have a name. Cai Yan married Zhou Yu, and Yang Hu probably wouldn't have the chance to be born, but the names of many Cai family members appeared on the paper. Historical books say that the Cai family of Chenliu and the Taishan Yang family are nine tribes in the opposite family, which is true.

Sun Ce saw Yang Hui's name, with his wife's name noted next to it, and specifically stated that it was Kong Rong's daughter. The marriage was a year ago, and it seemed that it was not long before Kong Rong left Qingzhou.

Sun Ce clicked on Kong Rong's name. "Ziyi, did you go to the ceremony when Yang Hua got married?"

Taishi Ci smiled and said, "The Yang family is a famous family in Mount Tai, and is a family of knowledge. After Kong Rong was a saint, the two families were married, and the guests were all well-educated. If I dared to be in the toilet, I had no time to go there. When Mrs. Kong passed by my jurisdiction, I went to greet him and gave me some gifts, but did not meet."

"This Mrs. Kong is such a big show." Sun Ce chuckled softly, and he was calculating in his heart. He had already received the news that Kong Rong was in Chang'an, but he did not have the favorable conditions of Cai Yong. He said that he was a story, but in fact he was just a free job, so he would not be too troublesome. These conservatives, Tai Shici, respected them, and he was not so easy to talk to.

The land of Qilu is the Confucian base camp. This is a tough battle and most people cannot handle it. Taishi Ci cannot do it, nor Shen You can do it.

Sun Ce and Taishi Ci talked for a long time until they saw Jian Yong get on the boat. Seeing Jian Yong go back, less than half a month ago, Sun Ce looked back at Guo Jia who was leaning against the railing. Guo Jia smiled knowingly, stepped down from the flying hut, and strode to Jian Yong.

"Xianhe, why are you back? The road is not going well?"

Jian Yong hurriedly saluted. "Thank you for your concern for the wine. I have been going back to see Liu Fujun. I will negotiate with Wu Hou again at the order of Liu Fujun."

Guo Jia looked surprised. "So fast?"

Jian Yong knew that Guo Jia was teasing him, but he could not refute it. Liu Bei couldn't wait. Not to mention going to war with Sun Ce, as long as Sun Ce's banner appeared on the beach, it might cause Liu Bei to get into trouble.

Guo Jia led Jian Yong to his cabin. Jian Yong saw Sun Ce being on the Feilu, but he didn't have the chance to interview Sun Ce. He was anxious and said without saying anything: "Is Mr. Wu very busy? Who is that general?"

Guo Jia said as he walked, "Taishici."

Jian Yong was secretly surprised and couldn't help but take a few more glances. He knew that Taishi Ci was a general under Sun Ce and played an important role in the Battle of Rencheng. Now he is facing Yuan Xi on the Qingzhou front line. How could he appear here?

"So he is Taishi Ci, it turns out that he is a hero. Is the war in Qingzhou over?"

Guo Jia knew it well, but he didn't say it out loud, and responded vaguely twice. Seeing this scene, Jian Yong felt even more unsure. When Taishi Ci came here from the Qingzhou front, it was likely that Sun Ce and Yuan Tan had reached some kind of agreement, which might be unfavorable to Liu Bei. Although Yuan Tan also had an alliance with Liu Bei, who knew what Yuan Tan was thinking. These days, intrigues and those who are strong are respected, and no one could believe it.

Jian Yong followed Guo Jia into the cabin and took the seat. Guo Jia was very calm and asked Jian Yong about his well-being, but he didn't mention the serious matters. Jian Yong was not so stable. He knew that Liu Bei did not have much bargaining chips for negotiation, so he would rather be honest. So he revealed Liu Bei's conditions and emphasized that it was not that Liu Bei refused to give up An Ci, but that An Ci faced Yuan Tan directly, which was very unfavorable to Gongsun Xu. It would be better to arrange Gongsun Xu to be the prefect in other counties. This is also Liu Bei's love for Gongsun Xu, his junior.

Guo Jia was in a state of mind, but he remained calm and bargained with Jian Yong. Finally, he reached an agreement, with Gongsun Xu as the prefect of Youbeiping, Gongsun Fan as the commander of the vassal state of Liaodong, and Taishi Ci as the prefect of Liaoxi.

Jian Yong understood as soon as he heard this. Sun Ce had already planned. What he said before was a threat. All he wanted was that Liu Bei would make an offer, let Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Fan be independent, and to take the opportunity to insert Taishi Ci'an into Youzhou. However, he had no bargaining chips in his hands, and this condition did not seem to have broken through Liu Bei's bottom line. Liu Bei should not have any objection, so he could only agree.

Guo Jia changed the subject. "Is Liu Bei interested in seizing Zhuo County?"
