Xu Shao escaped blood again, and Sun Ce's plan failed to be perfectly realized, which is somewhat regrettable.

However, the arrival of Du Xi and Guo Jia made up for this regret. One went back and the other came to join the initiative, which brought Sun Ce far more joy than regret. Seeing everyone carrying Xu Shao down the city, Sun Ce was about to have a good chat with Guo Jia and Du Xi, but when he turned around, he found a lonely figure.

Chen Dao didn't leave, he stood by the city wall, looking at the crowd hugging Xu Shao, with a lonely expression.

Sun Ce bowed to Du Xi and Guo Jiagong, asked them to wait, walked slowly to Chen Dao, and looked around. "Stop looking, everyone is gone."

Chen Dao was shocked and noticed Sun Ce, and quickly took a step back and bowed.

"Do you still want to die?" Sun Ce smiled. "If you don't want to die, let's have a drink together?"

Thinking of the scene not long ago, Chen Dao was embarrassed and his face turned red. When he saw Xu Shao's performance with his own eyes, he realized that Xu Shao was such a famous scholar. It was not Xu Shao who was wronged at all, but Sun Ce. He actually wanted to seek justice for Xu Shao to compete with Sun Ce. He was so confused.

"I misunderstand the general and ask him to forgive me."

"It's not your fault. There are so many people who have been deceived." Sun Ce pointed to the crowd in the distance, waved his hand, and didn't take this matter to heart. He pushed Chen Dao's back and said, "Let's go and have a drink together, and then talk about whether you want to leave behind. By the way, where did you hear about my martial arts competition with Zhang Liao? I dare say, what you heard must be inaccurate, I'll tell you."

Chen Dao did not refuse anymore, followed Sun Ce to the city and went to the barracks together. The prefect Qiao Rui arranged for a banquet for scholars. Without taking care of Sun Ce, Sun Ce arranged for someone to pick up some wine and meat and sit with Du Xi, Guo Jia and Chen Dao. Guo Jia just heard Sun Ce talk about Chen Dao, but he was not familiar with Chen Dao. Since he sat together and talked, he naturally asked about Chen Dao's family background.

Facing Guo Jia from Yangdi Guo family, Chen Dao was obviously a little short of anger and respectfully reported his family background. Runan originally belonged to the ancient Chen Kingdom. Chen Fan, one of the three kings, was a native of Pingyu, Runan, and was considered a distant family. However, the Chen clan was huge and had different circumstances. The Chen family belonged to the decline. Moreover, the Chen Dao branch passed on his martial arts and was not ashamed of being a scholar, so he did not have a reputation.

Guo Jia nodded and said, "This is one of the reasons why I think Yuan Shao can't accomplish anything."

Chen Dao didn't understand his intention, but Sun Ce felt aroused and smiled and said, "I wish to hear it carefully."

"No." Guo Jia bowed. "The general had just taken charge of Nanyang and should have seen the folk customs of the Nanyang Di Township. Runan was not the imperial town, but Runan was fertile and suitable for farming. He was known for his wealth. In this dynasty, Confucianism was the first to lead the world. There were many famous scholars, and countless scholars passed on to the family traditions of medicaments, and gradually became a major city in Shilin. Unlike other places, Runan was originally a land of Chu. The folk customs were originally fierce and aggressive. After being accustomed to Confucianism, he did not change his generosity, like to discuss, and was strong in nature. It was no surprise that the party and imprisonment arose from Runan. Chen Fan and Fan Pang were just benchmarks among the people of Runan. The straight road and the walking were endless. Today, they just gathered into a river to show their surging momentum."

Sun Ce was fascinated by hearing this. He knew that Runan had many household registrations, had a large influence in the government and the opposition, and had many famous party members, but he did not know that the Runan people played a decisive role in the party and corruption. He felt that it was shallow on paper. Even if some things were recorded in the book, he might not be able to pay attention to them, and he might not be able to pay attention to them. He was far less experienced than those in it.

"Political Confucianism brought opportunities for Runan people to enter the government, but it also had a bad influence on the customs of the people in Runan. Confucianism values ​​etiquette, and its meaning is complex. First, there was a dispute between modern and ancient literature, and then there was a rule of law. It was different in a word and never decided for years, and it emphasized empty reputation and less profit. Although Yuan adhered to the righteousness of Runan and raised an army in Hebei and had the ambition to fight for the world, Confucian scholars had too much habits, valued famous scholars and were less military people, and were all in the court. Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and Yuan Shao was defeated and flew in a hurry. Now he was in Hebei and raised an army to fight against Dong, but he still failed to learn from the lessons. Those who followed him to Hebei were famous scholars, but few people who were well-versed in military affairs. Shuzhi was omitted was not an exception, so there was no need to worry about it."

Chen Dao thanked him very politely, but Sun Ce was deeply touched. Guo Jia's trip to Hebei was not in vain. He saw Yuan Shao's weakness. Yuan Shao invited many famous scholars from Ruying and Ying, but there was no one among them who could command the battle. His famous generals, such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Tuo Yi, who was known as the Four Courtyards of Hebei, were not from Runan.

This is certainly because the people in Runan studied more and less martial arts, but it was originally because Yuan Shao's inertial thinking was at work, and he valued famous scholars and looked down on military personnel. This was not his own problem, but the entire Shulin style of the entire Runan, and it can even be said to be a common problem for the entire party. The warriors were determined to be side by side with the party members, but the party members never left a place for the warriors, thinking that only they could govern the country and pacify the world. Sanming, Liangzhou, made great achievements and maintained border stability, and were also devoted to learning. Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan were all very knowledgeable, but they could never be attracted by the party members as their peers.

Famous scholars may be able to plan, but few can win the battle ahead. What's the use of Liu Bang with only Zhang Liang? Without Han Xin to capture cities and territories for him, he was beaten like a stray dog ​​by Xiang Yu. The way of using both civil and military affairs is the king. It is not possible to have a strategist without good generals, and it is also impossible to have good generals that cannot be reused.

As for now, Chen Dao’s reputation is not obvious, it can be said to be just an example. Looking at the future, during the Battle of Guandu, Zhang He and Gao Lan did not attack Cao’s camp. They simply surrendered to Cao Cao because they were afraid of Guo Tu’s slander. They could also imagine how unbearable the position of the general under Yuan Shao’s tent was. If they were not usually angry and had no trust, why would they be like this?

"The world is in chaos, and all the heroes are rising. They all think that they can compete for the desolation, but the final winner can only be one person. Dong Zhuo is in chaos, and Shandong prefectures and counties have hundreds of thousands of troops to fight Dong. Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance and drinks a high meeting every day. He has never fought. Only Sun Yuzhou and Cao Mengde dare to fight with Dong Zhuo. Now Cao Mengde is defeated in Nanyang, and his whereabouts are unknown. Yuan Shao's command is no longer able to fight. Even if there are thousands of iron cavalry, what can we do? General Sun and his son are both good generals. The father and his father win in Luoyang, and the son defeated Nanyang. Looking at the world, who is the enemy? Chen Shu comes, the opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come again."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he knocked on the desk with his finger and smiled. "If you were in Hebei, you wouldn't be able to get in this big tent."

Chen Dao was stunned, and then he realized that Guo Jia had said so much to persuade him to enter the curtain. But thinking about it, Yuan Shao did not have him in his eyes. Xu Shao was such a person. It was just a dream that he wanted to rely on Yuan Shao. Instead of doing this, it would be better to follow Sun Ce, at least Sun Ce could value his talents.

Chen Dao stood up after leaving the seat and bowed to Sun Ce. "Chen Dao is not talented, and he is willing to work hard for the general."

Sun Ce was overjoyed and quickly got up to help Chen Dao up. Guo Jia was so good that he would give him a big gift when he entered the door.
