Chapter 214 Yuan Shu's Legacy

The civil strife was resolved without bloodshed, but Sun Ce had no time to celebrate. Cooperating with Cai Yong to speed up Yuan Shu's funeral process, he was buried after the generals worshipped him. Seeing Yuan Shu being put into a coffin, and arranged for Lei Bo and Chen Lan to escort Yuan Shutra to the homeland, he began to perform his duties and arrange the defensive matters of Wancheng.

Although there was no killing, what should be dealt with had to be dealt with. Chen Yu ran away, Sun Ce did not arrange for anyone to chase him, so he would let him have a way out for the time being, but the remaining people were dealt with one by one. Yuan Shu was not originally a soldier, and although he had many subordinates, he could only fight. He took this opportunity to rectify it.

Zhang Xun stayed, but he was very cognizable and firmly demanded the right to hand over military power. Sun Ce agreed and asked him to serve as the chief of the chief. The chief of the army was a military position and could command troops in name, but most of the time he was only the chief of staff and did not directly take charge of the army. Zhang Xun was changed to the chief of the army, which not only seized his military power, but also retained his status, took care of his face and appeased the people's hearts.

Yan Xiang's official position remained unchanged and was still the chief clerk, but Sun Ce gave him enough rewards for his trust and support, allowing him to also lead the prefect of Nanyang.

The other generals also had their own changes. In addition to those who left, some of the left retained their original positions, but most of the military power was deprived and turned into idle positions. In fact, even Sun Ce retained their military power, it was useless. He rebelled with Chen Yu, negotiated with the powerful Nanyang, and sold out the interests of the soldiers under his subordinates. They had lost the trust of the soldiers, and it was not safe to stay in the military camp. It was better to be an idle person and avoid the limelight.

In this way, nearly 30,000 troops will be redistributed.

Sun Ce first selected 10,000 soldiers to fill his central army, and the personal guard battalion increased to 4,000 people. Huang Zhong, Deng Zhan, Dong Yu and Qin Mu each increased to one to two thousand. This was related to each person's abilities. For example, Huang Zhong and Deng Zhan, each led two battalions of 4,000 people; for those with weak abilities, they were given fewer, such as Dong Yu and Qin Mu. They were all young, and they had just led the troops and had difficulty leading two thousand people. If they had more troops, they would not be able to command, which would be a bad thing.

Then Sun Ce selected another 10,000 people to Zhou Yu. There is no doubt that Zhou Yu was the first hero in the successful suppression of the rebellion. Sun Ce gave him a heavy reward without hesitation, and the best reward was undoubtedly to put more burdens on him. Zhou Yu originally had three school captains and more than 3,000 people. With this 10,000 people, his strength suddenly doubled, becoming the second most important general after Sun Ce himself.

Sun Ce picked out two thousand locals in Nanyang and asked them to take food to chase Wenpin and reinforce Wuguan. Wenpin took away the troops of Changnu, and after these two thousand people, he owned two battalions, nearly four thousand people, and was on par with Huang Zhong and Deng Zhan.

The remaining people were either old and weak, too young, or had poor physical fitness. Sun Ce dismissed the elderly and weak, reorganized the poor combat power, incorporated the skilled ones into the baggage battalion, and young ones were individually assigned to Boy Scouts, doing chores, logistics, and in the wartime.

While reorganizing the army, Yan Xiang issued the first prefecture order, writing to all counties, one was to declare Sun Ce's rule over Jingzhou, and the other was to warn each county that the Xiliang soldiers were coming, so that each county could prepare for defense. Zhou Yu made it very clear that although Sun Ce controlled Wancheng and was nominally the governor of Jingzhou, his government orders were basically difficult to exceed the scope of Wan County. Yan Xiang did his best to do so. As for whether each county listened to him, to be honest, no one counted.

Two days later, Lei Bo set off with Yuan Shu's coffin. Yuan Quan and Yuan Heng's sisters were together. Sun Ce went to see him off outside the city and bid farewell. Yuan Quan hugged Yuan Heng and sat in the car. Yuan Heng looked at Sun Ce secretly, but did not dare to look at Sun Ce's eyes.

Yuan Quan looked at Sun Ce's eyes calmly. "Our sisters are waiting for the general's good news in their hometown in Ruyang and sending his ancestors into the ground."

Sun Ce bowed and bowed. "Repel Xu Rong, I rushed to Runan to support the coffin and cultivate soil for the general."

Yuan Shu's era has come to an end, and now it's time for me, Sun Ce, to take the stage.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Yi took Sun Ce's commission to the road and rushed to Nanjun, Jiangxia and Cai Mao with him. He wanted to rush back to Xiangyang. First, he informed Sun Fu to strengthen the city defense, and second, he expanded the scale of the Cai family workshop. The war was about to come, and Sun Ce needed more weapons, and there were tens of millions of arrows alone.

Soon, Yin Duan and Yin Wei rushed to Wancheng. Sun Ce set up a martial arts lecture hall in Wancheng and arranged it in the county school west of the prefect's mansion. The newly promoted generals urgently needed professional guidance, and the veteran Yin Duan was just taking advantage of their remaining energy. In addition, Sun Ce also selected some young people from the Boy Scouts as freshmen in the lecture hall, and Yin Duan was enlightened. The school system was one year, and one year later, they were assigned to each battalion as middle and lower-level officers, or to each general as attendants.

In order to stimulate Yin Duan's enthusiasm, Sun Ce not only gave Yin Duan the identity of a martial arts lecture hall to sacrificial wine, but also paid a salary at the standard of 2,000 stones, but also held a grand entrance ceremony, asking Cai Yong to write "The Martial Arts lecture hall", write and carve the stele, and stand in front of the martial arts lecture hall. Yin Duan was very happy. With Cai Yong's "The Martial Arts lecture hall", he would leave his name in history - in the future, Cai Yong wrote history, this incident will inevitably be recorded in history.

Different people responded differently to Sun Ce's arrangements. Yin Wei was very grateful. A small separation was better than a newlywed, and it was inevitable that it would be undesirable. Huang Yueying was very envious and strongly asked to give the Mu Academy the same treatment, and also asked Cai Yong to write a stele. Cai Yong was very depressed. Martial arts and carpenters could teach, but he was a master of scholars, but he could only support them. But he couldn't say anything. Sun Ce had promised him to set up a college in Xiangyang for his history, and sent someone to Chenliu to pick up his family and books. He could not open a school in Wancheng again.

When he was in a bad mood, Cai Yong went to Zhou Yu to talk about his skills. The old man and young man were very good at talking and became a soulmate. Sun Ce had a bad feeling. Judging from this attitude, Cai Yan was afraid that he would not be able to grab it. Cai Yong had already regarded Zhou Yu as his son-in-law in his words and had no intention of giving him a fair chance of competition.

Out of strong jealousy towards Zhou Yu, Sun Ce decided to change history. Since Cai Yan is there, Xiao Qiao, don’t think about it.

Of course, Xiao Qiao was only seven years old and was far away in Liang State. Sun Ce was just angry and could not take any practical actions. Besides, the war was about to come, and he was so busy that he had no time to think about these things.

Huang Chengyan took over the Nanyang Iron Officer, but he was busy with city defense and had no time to study the Iron Officer's archives. Huang Yueying was injured in an arm and could not do work. Instead, he had time to read these archives. Sun Ce simply asked someone to move all the Iron Officer's archives into the Mu Academy. Yin Wei cooperated with Huang Yueying to sort out these archives, help copy and write them, and also took care of Huang Yueying's diet and daily life.

Although the two were five or six years apart in age, they were able to get along very well and soon they got better. Yin Yu often stayed very late in Mu Academy, and sometimes even lived in the backyard of Mu Academy, allowing Sun Ce to stay in the empty room alone.

I didn't see Yin Wei's shadow for two consecutive days, and Sun Ce missed her a little. When I had time, I came to Mu Academy to check the situation. After entering the backyard, Sun Ce saw the lights in the room, and a few graceful figures reflected on the windows. The crisp and pleasant laughter kept ringing. In addition to Yin Wei and Huang Yueying, there seemed to be other people.

What made Sun Ce even more puzzled was that from the silhouettes reflected on the window, these people were not wearing much clothes, and their delicate figures were faintly visible, as if they were wearing only close-fitting clothes. In this winter, aren’t they afraid of the cold?
