Although the Wei family in Hedong was not well-known in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was just a small local family, it was very famous in Anyi, Hedong, especially when Wei Zhongdao married the daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong. Marrying the Cai family in Chenliu means that Wei Zhongdao's talent and knowledge were recognized by Cai Yong, and it would be a smooth journey to enter the officialdom in the future. Later, Wei Zhongdao died less than a year after getting married, which made the people of Anyi feel very regretful, and said bluntly that he was blessed and could not bear the good luck from this sky.

Therefore, people from Hedong are not unfamiliar with the Wei family marrying Cai Yan. Anyone with a little face knows that Wang Chang has been an official in the prefect's office for many years, so he naturally knows this. At this moment, facing Sun Ce's request for advice, he was speechless.

A woman in the Han Dynasty had no inheritance rights. After her husband died, if she had a son, her son would inherit the family property. Cai Yan had not given birth to a child, so she could have two choices: either continue to stay in the Wei family and have no property rights, but the Wei family must support her life; or choose to leave, and she could take away her dowry, but not the Wei family's property. But no matter what, the Wei family could not take the initiative to drive her away.

Why did Cai Yan leave the Wei family? In fact, it is not a big deal. Wei Zhongdao is dead, Cai Yan has no children, and being a widow at a young age is not good for her to the Wei family. If Cai Yan adopts a child, the Wei family will have to pay his property. For such a small and medium-sized family who has never been a high-ranking official and accumulates all by thrift, this is of course not cost-effective. Just find some trouble and let Cai Yan leave by himself. Anyway, Cai Yan is thin-skinned and cannot do the kind of thing that will not leave.

Wang Chang knew the inside story clearly and could understand the choice of the Wei family, but as Cai Yong's identity, he respected the Wei family. The Wei family did this a bit unethical, and his thoughts also violated the Confucian moral standards and could not be raised or spoken. What made him even more worried was more than that. Why did Sun Ce take action against the Wei family? I'm afraid it was not just about standing up for Cai Yan. He expressed dissatisfaction with his attitude. If he was obsessed with it, Sun Ce would definitely have even more ugly words to come.

Wang Chang had learned about Sun Ce before coming, and just asked a lot of things with Wen Yun. He knew that Sun Ce's achievements were not only on the battlefield, but also not weak when scolding others. He claimed that he did not have the strength of Xu Shao and did not dare to go against Sun Ce, so he could only choose to admit defeat. He annoyed Sun Ce and failed the job. Even if he could go back alive, the official would be lost.

"This matter may be a bit misunderstanding, and I'm not sure about it. I'm afraid I can't answer the general. I'm ashamed, ashamed."

Seeing that Wang Chang was humble and admitted his cowardly, Sun Ce was reluctant to do so. He just said casually that Cai Yong wrote history in Xiangyang, Cai Yan taught children in Wancheng, and her husband Zhou Yu was many times better than Wei Zhongdao. I don’t have to worry about this matter, and someone will ask for justice from the Wei family.

Wang Chang was so scared that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to speak for the Wei family.

After leaving behind the grudges between the Cai Wei families, Sun Ce and Wang Chang had a lot of tacit understanding. Taking this opportunity, Sun Ce suggested that Wang Chang stay with Zhu Yan to serve. Zhu Yan was the Grand Marshal, the leader of the three dukes, and had the right to call out officials, but he had the average influence in the scholars and there were many vacancies in the Taiwei Mansion. Wang Chang was not the kind of self-proclaimed noble person. He was more realistic, and Zhu Yan was also satisfied with him. After Sun Ce made a comeback, the matter was done.

Sun Ce recommended Wang Chang to Zhu Jun and asked Xu Huang to be his attendant. He thought that the young man was good. Wang Chang owed Sun Ce a favor, so of course he would not object. Zhu Jun had seen Xu Huang and thought Xu Huang was good, but he would never believe that such a young man had the potential of a famous general. Sun Ce wanted it and gave it to him, as long as Xu Huang himself was willing.

Not to mention that Zhu Jun didn't believe it, Xu Huang himself didn't believe it either. When Chen Dao told him that Sun Ce wanted to ask him to be a clerk, he looked at Chen Dao for a long time and finally confirmed that Chen Dao was not joking about him. He was from Hedong and had no family background. He only found a minor official in the prefect's office to support his family by doing things seriously and steadily. He never thought that someone would come to invite him, and he was somewhat flattered.

Seeing that Xu Huang didn't say anything, Chen Dao thought he had concerns, so he told him about his personal experience. Sun Ce's origin was not high and was rejected by a noble family. He was unwilling to take care of the noble family and was more willing to get close to people who were similar to his background. Xu Huang felt very much like him when he heard this, and no longer hesitated and accepted Chen Dao's recommendation. With Wang Chang's permission and after handing over the task, he became Sun Ce's subordinate.

After the banquet, Sun Ce learned that Xu Huang had accepted his invitation and was overjoyed. He immediately took Xu Huang back to the camp. He didn't care about rest and immediately invited Zhang Hong and Guo Jia to introduce Xu Huang to them. Guo Jia chatted with Xu Huang, thinking that Xu Huang was meticulous and had good martial arts skills, so he was suitable for being a scout. After obtaining Xu Huang's consent, Sun Ce brought him into the scout camp and temporarily became the garrison commander, leading one hundred people, and being Guo Jia's deputy. After getting familiar with the environment, he would promote according to his merits.

Xu Huang was overjoyed and bowed to him. Although the head of the village was not a high-ranking official, Zhang Hong and Guo Jia were both Sun Ce’s confidants. Sun Ce introduced him to these two people and asked him to be Guo Jia’s deputy. This was a great trust in him.

Guo Jia was also very happy. Although Lu Meng and others were in alliance, they were too young and had no problem doing things by themselves. It was a bit difficult to manage other people. Many times he had to come forward to deal with it personally. With Xu Huang as his helper, his task was easier. This was also Sun Ce's concern for him.

After making arrangements for Xu Huang, Sun Ce took out the Xiang Yu sword and placed it in front of Zhang Hong and Guo Jia.

The strong contrast between the luxurious knife magazine and the quaint knife suddenly left Zhang and Guo speechless. After Sun Ce talked about the possible origin of this knife, they all agreed with Sun Ce's opinion. Jia Xu's actions must have a deep meaning.

"The general handled it very well." Zhang Hong closed the knife box and said lightly: "Although Xiang Yu is brave, he is not worthy of the general's imitation. It would be fine for ordinary people to talk about the name of this little overlord, but the general should not accept it."

Sun Ce nodded. The little overlord sounds very majestic, but it is not a good word. The source is that Xu Gong reported to the court that he had a strange intention and should recall his free place in the capital, not to let him go. What he is most worried about now is that a decree from Chang'an asked him to go to Chang'an. It would be better if this little overlord's reputation is not enough. Don't end up Xu Gong didn't say anything and cheated himself.

Guo Jia also agreed with Zhang Hong's opinion, but he raised another question. "Since this knife is Dong Zhuo's relics, how could it fall into Jia Xu's hands?" He rolled his eyes. "Did someone escape from Chang'an and rushed to Hedong?"

Sun Ce remained silent, but he secretly applauded in his heart. It turned out that the hero had the same opinion. He also had such questions. He asked Wang Chang and Xu Huang indirectly, but neither of them knew about it. It seemed that Jia Xu had done a pretty good job in keeping confidentiality. A person who could get in touch with Dong Zhuo's beloved sword and a person who could keep Jia Xu so confidential. This person must not be an ordinary person.

Who is this person?
