Since he decided to come and bid, he would be used as a knife. Zhong Yao still had this enlightenment, but he didn't expect that Sun Ce would be so rude and would throw it to him such a difficult task.

Dozens of inscriptions and epitaphs are nothing, the problem is that the identity of these tomb owners is too sensitive. Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji and others were killed by Wang Yun. They were previously dependent on Dong Zhuo. In recent years, they have been revealed. The account must be settled on Yuan Shao and Wang Yun. Yuan Shao and Wang Yun are all dead. The account requires their sons and accomplices to return it. The tombstones for Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji were to start a war against them.

Yuan Wei, didn’t Yuan Ji’s remains be transported back long ago and had not been buried yet? I’m afraid that this task is difficult, no one is willing to take it? Sun Ce is not qualified to take action. Sun Ce looks down on him. All Sun Ce looks down on him are famous people for a long time, and no one cares about his feathers. Think about it, it’s fine for Yuan Ji, Yuan Wei is not a good bird. When Dong Zhuo was abolished, he was a helper to help the evil. He took off the seal and ribbon of the young emperor and helped the young emperor down the imperial throne. It would be a loss of justice. Writing a tombstone for him really damaged his reputation.

Zhong Yao was mute and couldn't say anything about his suffering. Facing Sister Yuan Quan who came forward to thank him, he had to squeeze out a happy smile.

Guo Jia saw it, held back his laughter and glanced at Mrs. Zhong. Mrs. Zhong was also amused and cried, and could only express sympathy to Zhong Yao in her heart. She was actually very clear that Yuan Quan and Yuan Heng had no feelings for Yuan Wei. This was just a trick Sun Ce used to disgust his opponent. Otherwise, Cai Yong could not push it away. If Zhong Yao bumped into it, he could only admit his bad luck. Who told him that he didn't even have the qualification to make the conditions at all.

Mrs. Zhong set up a seat, Yuan Heng sat in the upper head, Yuan Quan accompanied him, quietly listening to Sun Ce and Zhong Yao chatting. Sun Ce could not talk about any classics, but his knowledge of calligraphy was even Zhong Yao was willing to be inferior. Guo Jia and others were surprised. They knew that Sun Ce's calligraphy was good, but they did not know that Sun Ce's level in calligraphy was so high. They spoke very well and had their own style. They could pick up metaphors such as leaking marks, folding hairpins, and painting sand attentively. They were appropriate and natural, and extremely vivid.

Mrs. Zhong couldn't help asking: "I didn't expect that the King's calligraphy was so powerful. I dared to ask who the King is from?"

Sun Ce smiled. "I don't have any teacher, I'm self-taught." After that, I couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Zhong didn't expect to have him. She and Yuan Quan were good friends in the boudoir. She knew Sun Ce's knowledge and had never heard of any calligraphy master. Among the people he knew, Cai Yong, Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao were all great masters of calligraphy, but they didn't seem to have such a level, at least she had never heard Cai Yan mention it.

"The king was born to know that it was not something that ordinary people like us could guess."

"How dare you? Actually, it's simple. Take heaven and earth as your teacher, follow the Tao, and follow nature. If you study hard and practice hard, your mind and hands will be in harmony, and you will naturally become." Sun Ce was not humble at all, confident and calm. If there was any suspicion of cheating, his calligraphy was really made by him. He has been practicing hard for more than ten years, and has been chasing his hands. In addition, he has read a lot of books, so he doesn't need to be nervous when facing Zhong Yao, a master of epoch-making calligraphy.

Zhong Yao said: "It is better to take heaven and earth as a teacher than to take saints as a teacher. This is the great king's extraordinary thing. A saint is smart and knows everything, but it is inevitable that he cannot write everything and not speak the words or the meaning of the words. Even if there are the Six Classics, he cannot fully teach the saints. In addition, later generations are confused and spread rumors, and naturally distort them. It is not like this. If the heaven and earth are teachers forever, it will last forever. As long as you use your heart, you will eventually gain something. Fuxi observes the heaven and earth and governs the Eight Trigrams, and the king observes the heaven and earth and obtains the calligraphy. The principle is the same."

Sun Ce smiled and felt relieved. What they were talking about was calligraphy, but it was actually a way of thinking. Breaking the worship of saints by scholars in this era and guiding them to look to a broader world is the lofty goal he has been pursuing. Only in this way can real scientific thinking be produced. Otherwise, even if he came up with a set of encyclopedias, it would not change much. If it took several generations, encyclopedias would become classics and an insurmountable barrier, rather than a starting point to guide them forward.

Science is to constantly deny oneself. Drawing the ground into a prison is not real science. He has been instilling such concepts, but the effect is not very ideal. Most scholars are a little self-righteous and stubborn. They originally thought that young people were more likely to accept it, but they did not expect that Zhong Yao, an old man in his 50s, also had such awareness, which was more flexible than many young Ru Ying scholars.

I hope he truly understands it, not to give his favorable words.

After the sumptuous banquet, Sun Ce said goodbye. Guo Jia sent Sun Ce outside the door, watching Sun Ce holding Yuan Heng with his left hand and Yuan Quan with his right hand, slowly walking back to Yacheng, turning back to the study room in the backyard.

After Mrs. Zhong served tea, she repelled her servants and served in front of Zhong Yao.

Zhong Yao sat upright, closed his eyes to rest. Although his face was a little tired, he became much more relaxed, and he became a little more excited, and was very emotional. Hearing Guo Jia's footsteps, he opened his eyes, glanced at Guo Jia, and smiled.

"You are more exquisite than Wen Ruo when you leave Yecheng. This is your luck and Wen Ruo's misfortune."

Guo Jia smiled proudly. Mrs. Zhong pulled him and said angrily: "Brother, don't praise him. If he has a tail, he will be almost overwhelmed. Although he has gone well in recent years, his ability is limited. He can't lift the banner of Ruying's leader, and it's up to the elder brother."

Zhong Yao raised his hand and signaled Mrs. Zhong not to speak. He stared at Guo Jia. "Fengxiao, you are the confidant of the King of Wu. Tell me, what is the biggest trouble for the King of Wu now?"

Guo Jia put away his smile and said lightly: "Brother is so serious. The King of Wu is indeed facing some difficulties, but it is not a problem."

"oh?"

"What my brother is worried about is that the kingly way is slow, and it is easy to achieve results if he is not as domineering as he is, right?"

Zhong Yao stroked his beard and his head slightly. "A gentleman can't fight a villain. This is helpless, but it is a fact..."

"That's because a gentleman is not pragmatic and not strong enough." Guo Jia interrupted Zhong Yao bluntly. "My brother has arrived and I don't know much about some situations. Today, I can get along with the King of Wu, which is a perfect beginning. Don't worry, take advantage of this time to take a look, and I'll definitely have more insights."

Zhong Yao's eyes flashed slightly, and he was a little disappointed. He originally thought that Sun Ce would be appointed soon after talking to Sun Ce. Guo Jia was the best at observing his face and knew Zhong Yao's mood. He continued: "Brother comes from Feng Yi, have you ever heard of Hongnong's war?"

"I just heard some of my younger sister say." Zhong Yao paused and said again: "It's really amazing when I went down to Hongnong half a day."

"Lu Su was just impeached by Zhang Xiang."

Zhong Yao was stunned and looked at Guo Jia in disbelief. Lu Su went deep into the army alone, and the thunder attack almost changed the entire situation of the war. Why was Zhang Hong impeached? Lu Su and Zhang Hong are both from Xuzhou, and there is no factional dispute. Is that a dispute between civil and military affairs? Wu Kingdom was first established, and the internal conflicts have reached such a serious point?

“Why?”

"The planning is insufficient, the preparation is insufficient, the expansion space is limited, it is slightly passive, and the plan is not optimized enough."

Zhong Yao was speechless. Lu Su was still passive? The passive one was clearly the court, but Lu Su was not. Are you showing off?

"If you have any questions, you can compare the war in Wuling and Hanzhong."

"Wuling, Hanzhong?"

"Zhou Yu stayed in Qinglang Beach in Wuling for a year, and Huang Zhong was besieging the city for a year. It was not that he was unable to achieve his strength, but that he had accumulated strength. They may not be able to truly understand the king's king's way, but they knew how to make the most effort and plan for a longer time. Now Zhou Yu is heading straight in, like walking in the garden, Huang Zhong swept across the county, and the west city is just around the corner. Isn't it luck?"

Zhong Yao seemed to have some understanding. At first, he thought that Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong were stranded because he was unable to stand up. Later, when he received their battle reports, he realized that they had other meanings. Training nearby was undoubtedly the least logistical pressure. As a frontline general, it is common to be eager to make contributions, and staying still is easy to be criticized. In this case, Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong's ability to make peace is not only related to Sun Ce's strong strength and able to support it, but also related to their mentality. If it were not for the confidence to win, how many could withstand such great pressure?

Compared to this, Lu Su's action was indeed a bit rash and not meticulous enough. Although he captured Hongnong, the possibility of his continued advance was not high. First, Tongguan was not easy to attack, and second, Hedong was not determined, and Lu Su could not attack Tongguan with all his strength when the flanks were threatened. Defending Hongnong and Shan County was the best result, and it was not impossible to be forced to retreat by the court.

"Lu Su took Hongnong for half a day, and was criticized by Zhang Xiang for being impatient. It was not that our army was short of military strength and food and grass were not supported, but that it was not that we could not achieve optimization. In general, if we acted as domineering, regardless of the cost, we would raise all the troops in Nanyang, why should we break through Guanzhong for a year? However, fishing in the lake is not a long-term way. In the end, when the future is out of strength, the King of Wu will not take it. We will walk slowly and steadily now, so that we can go further in the future."

“How far is it going further?”

Guo Jia smiled and shook the feather fan habitually. Mrs. Zhong grabbed it and threw it on the table, and hated Guo Jia. "Speak well, don't show your military advisor's offering to the wine in front of your brother."

Guo Jia smiled embarrassedly and rubbed his hands. "The distance you can go, the distance you can go, there is no end. A good horse cannot leap ten steps; a slow horse can drive ten times, and the achievements are in reluctance. As long as the direction is right and the steps are steady, even if it is slower, we will one day be able to reach a place that our predecessors have never set foot."

Zhong Yao pondered for a long time, his eyebrows raised lightly, his beard trembled, and he showed a faint smile. "If Xun Wen heard your words, I don't know what he would think. It is Xun Qing's learning, some have learned domineeringness, some have learned the kingly way, and the story of the late Qin and early Han dynasties seems to be in front of him again."

Guo Jia shook his head and smiled unfathomable. "If my brother thinks this way, it would be narrow-minded. The King of Wu is consistent with the way of heaven and earth and learn from nature. Those who are in harmony with heaven and earth will take it without taking it, and those who are in harmony with heaven and earth will abandon it without giving it without giving it, so why should you stick to the words of one family? The words of the saints are not worth fearing, let alone the sons?" .m.
