Sun Ce was a little surprised and then burst into laughter.

He had some preconceived ideas.

Sima Hui's name is derived from Mr. Shui Jing from Pang Degong. He met Mr. Pang Degong during his refuge in Xiangyang. Only after being evaluated by Mr. Pang Degong was given the name of Mr. Shui Jing. Now that history has changed, he has never taken refuge in Xiangyang, and he has never seen Mr. Pang Degong before, so the name of Mr. Shui Jing is naturally unaware of it.

Speaking of which, Sima Hui was also a person who was deified by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Although he was not as exaggerated as Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, he was not very different from his original appearance. In historical records, he was just a famous scholar, good at appreciating other people's ethics. He once praised Pang Tong and Liu Xiao when they were not known. He was knowledgeable, Xiang Lang and Yin Mo and Li Ren from Yizhou had been specifically learned from him. He did not admire his reputation and never served in his lifetime. People like him were not uncommon in "Biography of Yimin", but he was very lucky and lived in seclusion in Xiangyang and intersected with characters like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, which became a legend, spreading rumors and many false anecdotes were spread.

Pang Tong met Sima Hui as one of them.

This story comes from "New Words of the World". The focus of the book "New Words of the World" is the demeanor of famous scholars. Many records are rumors, not historical materials. Many historians in later generations have statements. However, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a novel that does not need to be so strict. It is suitable. Moreover, the more legendary the better, the better. It is just that later generations do not know it. They regard "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a historical book. They are deceived and do not know it. But they are still very stubborn and speak so loudly that it makes people speechless.

Sun Ce read a lot of historical materials and believed that he was very clear about Sima Hui's original appearance, but he was unconsciously influenced and told the title of Mr. Shuijing. Fortunately, Pang Shanmin did not think deeply, and only thought that it was Guo Jia or other Yingchuan people who claimed to himself and gave Sima Hui this alias, but he did not know that the person should have been his father Pang Degong.

"Where is he now?"

"Study in Yingchuan County."

"You invited him to the county school?"

"It was not what I invited, it was him who came by himself." Pang Shanmin smiled and said, "He is not always there. He just comes to teach when he is interested. Most of the time he is still idle and wild cranes, and he devotes his love to the mountains and rivers. Does the general want to see him? He hasn't been here for a while, and maybe he will appear in the past two days. If the general wants to, I will ask him."

Sun Ce nodded. "Okay, please make an appointment for me. If he has time, I will go and pay homage. If he doesn't have time, forget it, there is no need to force others to do anything."

Pang Shanmin responded. Both of them were casual and did not have the solemnity of visiting famous scholars at all. Feng Fang had known that Sun Ce was not interested in famous scholars, but he had never seen them with his own eyes. At this moment, he saw Sun Ce and Pang Shanmin talking about the famous Yingchuan Sima Hui like ordinary people, and finally believed that the rumors were true. In the past, he might have despised Sun Ce for a moment, but his level was too low. Now he agreed with Sun Ce. As for famous scholars, they just shouldn't take it too seriously. The more you take it seriously, the less they don't know that the world is high.

Accompanied by Pang Shanmin and Feng Fang, Sun Ce inspected the situation of the military farming. The military farming progressed smoothly, but the beginning was a bit late, and many lands were still deserted. Some of them planted emergency crops such as taro, melons and vegetables. Overall, the food for the military farming was still supplied by Yingchuan County, and the burden on Pang Shanmin was not light at all, not as easy as he said.

Sun Ce told them that Jiang Gan rushed to Chenliu and was negotiating with Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao. If it went well, a batch of grain could be purchased from Chenliu soon, which could greatly alleviate the plight of Pang Shanmin. Pang Shanmin was very happy and Feng Fang was also very happy. If he could form an ally with Zhang Miao, not only would the food shortage be resolved, but he would not have to face Yuan Shao's threat directly, but they could also farm with peace of mind.

"General, Shi Yuan wrote a letter two days ago, saying that General Chengdong had returned to Luoyang and his trip to Hedong might not go smoothly."

It was related to Sun Jian, and Sun Ce did not dare to be careless and asked Pang Shanmin to explain in detail. Guo Jia had not received the relevant information yet, and he was also concerned about the situation in Hedong. Unfortunately, Pang Shanmin didn't know much about it. Pang Tong just mentioned it and probably had sent the detailed information to Runan and missed it with Sun Ce. He only knew that Sun Jian's trip to Hedong was not going smoothly, and the Black Mountain Army rejected Sun Jian's request. The specific reason was unknown.

However, a situation mentioned by Pang Shanmin attracted Sun Ce's attention: Niu Fu and Dong Yue joined forces to enter Hedong. The passage between Luoyang and Chang'an has been unblocked again.

Sun Ce once again felt the pain of information lag. Due to the constraints of funding and manpower, due to the strong pressure brought by Yuan Shao and the situation facing Yuzhou, most of Guo Jia's detailed works were arranged in Lujiang, Jiujiang, Yanzhou, and Jizhou. He was seriously insufficient to pay attention to the west of Luoyang. It would take at least half a month, or even several months to get news from Hedong. The longer the distance, the more serious the lag.

"Fengxiao, send someone to Luoyang."

Guo Jia thought for a while. "I'll go there, even Mr. Zigang can't convince Taiwei Zhu. I really want to know what kind of person he is. He has a great influence on us and cannot be taken lightly."

Sun Ce has a deep understanding of this. Zhu Yan's old stubbornness is like a big stone pressing on his head, making him powerful and unable to use it. If it is really impossible to conquer, it is necessary to exchange his father back. What Zhu Yan likes to do is his business, and he cannot let his father be buried with him. This old stubbornness cannot keep up with the changes in the situation and will sooner or later be swept away by the waves of history.

After a little preparation, Guo Jia quickly set out. In order to ensure his safety, Sun Ce arranged for Chen Dao to lead Bai Lishi to follow him. Guo Jia himself didn't say anything, but Feng Fang was very jealous. Bai Lishi was the most elite guard knight around Sun Ce. Sun Ce asked them to protect Guo Jia, which shows his importance to Guo Jia. Thinking of Sun Ce asking Dian Wei to protect Jiang Gan and Chenliu, it is rare for people like him to care about the safety of his subordinates. It is expected that Jiang Gan and Guo Jia are willing to die for him.

A scholar died for a confidant, and a woman was a favor for a delighter. When she thought of this, Feng Fang's mind became active again. After finding an opportunity, he pretended to be very casual and asked about his daughter Feng Wan.

Feng Wan was in Pingyu and did not travel with Sun Ce. Sun Ce had something to do, and did not pay attention to the subtext in Feng Fang's eyes. He said casually: "She was in Pingyu and Huang Yueying and Zhang Zifu studied wood science together. Everything is normal. If you miss her, just let someone take her."

Feng Fang hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I am trusted by the general and I am responsible for farming. I don't have time to take care of her. Let her stay in Pingyu. I feel relieved if the general takes care of her."

"Haha, I don't have time to take care of her. Yuan Tan entered Yanzhou, Chen Deng, and Zhou Ang looked at Dandan again. I'm going to go to war soon, so how can I take care of her?" Sun Ce said halfway, and suddenly understood. Let me take care of Feng Wan? Feng Fang had something to say. He turned to look at Feng Fang, and saw Feng Fang looking at him with disappointment, and couldn't help but realize. "Don't worry. Your daughter is in Pingyu, no one will bully her."

Feng Fang felt relieved and smiled with a smile on his beard. "Thank you, General."

Sun Ce thought of Feng Wan's charming face, and his originally somewhat depressed mood suddenly became lighter. People still have to have strength. Now, Feng Fang, who used to look down on me, now knows to take the initiative to give up his daughter.
