Chapter 734
In the fourth year of Chuping, Zhengdan was in Wanling, Danyang.
"Ba! Bapa!" Cuizhu threw it into the fire, making a crisp sound of explosion.
Sun Quan, Lu Yi covered his ears and looked at Yi Cong who was busy with joy. He wanted to go up and join in the fun, but was afraid that his new clothes would be squeezed out. He looked back at Sun Ce from time to time. Sun Ce leaned against the city, waved his hand with a smile, and signaled them to play. Sun Quan was encouraged, shouted happily, rushed over, picked up a bundle of green bamboos and threw them into the fire. Mars were splashing everywhere, and the flames dimmed, and soon burned even harder, making a series of crisp sounds, crackling and non-stop.
Everyone burst into laughter. Sun Ce also laughed, his voice very loud.
After capturing Niuzhuji, he did not go directly to Kuaiji, but to Wanling, the county seat of Danyang County. Not only did he come, but the entire army came. The ships went from the Yangtze River to the Zhongjiang River and then went up the Lingshui to reach the city of Wanling. Their arrival made Wanling lively. Not only did there suddenly a few thousand people, but also a large number of commodities. Sun Ce exchanged a large amount of supplies with the merchants. In addition to rewarding some of the soldiers, he took out a part and handed it to Chen Dao, asking him to arrange people to trade in the market. The price was very fair, and it was a little cheaper than the merchants of Wanling who went out to traffic.
Chen Dao was very grateful. Of course he knew that this was Sun Ce establishing his prestige. Danyang was robbed. To eliminate the rejection of locals and be accepted by them as soon as possible, it is a very practical trick to give benefits.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Ce also climbed the city of the inner city and watched the soldiers in Yicongying make fun.
Huang Yueying and Feng Wan stood aside, eating snacks while looking at the people in the distance, feeling both fresh and a little scared. There were both Han people wearing headscarves and short robes, and Yue people with vertebral patterns on the face, which looked a bit scary. Not to mention that Feng Wan grew up in Guanzhong had never seen him, even Huang Yueying had seen him for the first time. He could occasionally see barbarians in Xiangyang, but he was not as fierce as these people.
Across a river, it felt like two worlds. They kept muttering and chuckling from time to time.
Yang Xiu was also very curious and chatted with Guo Jia in a random manner. After busy for several months, he rarely had leisure these days. Unlike the pure curiosity between Huang and Feng, Yang Xiu had no good feelings for these barbarians, and his words were full of contempt. When he thought that he would deal with these people for a while, he was very depressed. Guo Jia was not as repulsive as him. He wanted to understand these Yue people, and of course his purpose was not to appreciate them, but to conquer them.
"General, when will we leave?" Yang Xiu walked to Sun Ce and said loudly. The sound of firecrackers was too loud, and the sound of cheering was too loud, so I couldn't hear it loudly. Despite this, this was not in line with Yang Xiu's speech habits. Sun Ce couldn't hear it clearly, so he looked back at him with a puzzled look. Yang Xiu had to get closer and asked loudly again.
"I'm in a hurry to go to Kuaiji, or to go back to Chang'an?"
"It's fine everywhere, as long as you don't see these barbarians again." Yang Xiu waved his hand. After all, Kuaiji is the county governor of Kuaiji County. Although it is also in Yue, there will inevitably be barbarians, which are much more civilized than Wanling.
Sun Ce smiled. "Barish? It's so scary to be uneducated."
"What did you say?" Yang Xiu's eyes looked puzzled.
"I said you are not educated, it's terrible." Sun Ce said loudly. This time, not only Yang Xiu heard it, but others also heard it, and they all looked over. Yang Xiu raised his delicate eyebrows and suddenly became energetic. "General... said I am not educated?"
"Yes." Sun Ce nodded vigorously.
Yang Xiu laughed and bowed. "Oh, I want to ask for advice."
Sun Ce looked at Yang Xiu with a smile. Yang Xiu had been with the army for so long, and he had been used as an accountant. Although he did things very well and had been praised many times, Yang Xiu was not very happy and his sense of accomplishment was not that strong. As a scholar, of course, he had to govern the country and pacify the world. Who would like to settle accounts every day? But this is the case in the military camp. There were no scholars under Sun Ce, especially those who were proficient in classical studies. Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others were full of wisdom, but they were far from learning classical studies. Yang Xiu was not interested in bullying them, as if he could not find a master of his opponent, and it was hard to lose. Suddenly, Sun Ce said that he was not educated, and immediately awakened the fighting passion in his blood and was full of energy.
Sun Ce cleared up his psychology. In terms of knowledge, Yang Xiu was far behind him, but he was not talking nonsense. He hoped that Yang Xiu could conquer cities and territories in culture and make achievements, but this attitude of contempt and rejection was unsatisfactory and had to be hit. He had been preparing for it, and today it was a coincidence, so he took the opportunity to put up this topic. He had to have a foreshadowing in everything he did, and it would be too late to talk to Kuaiji.
"Don't be so excited. I know you have read the "Book of Taishi Gong". Although you don't say it, you actually don't believe it in your heart, right?"
Yang Xiu blinked his eyes and refused to comment. Of course, he had read the "Book of the Grand Historian" and knew that there was "The Family of Yue", but he did not believe it very much. "Records of the Grand Historian" was very famous in later generations, but not very high in the Han Dynasty. It was regarded as a slanderous book. There were many people who disagreed with "Records of the Grand Historian", and Yang Xiu was only one of them. If Sun Ce used the records of "Records of the Grand Historian" as evidence, Yang Xiu would have to refute it carefully.
"I don't tell you what the south of the five elements is fire. Yueren is Zhurong's statement after Fire. I know you don't believe it either. I will ask you a question, do you know why the more people, the more they are walking and falling?"
Yang Xiu couldn't help laughing. "I didn't expect that the general is still well-versed in exegesis, so I would like to ask the general for advice."
"Walking means leaving, crossing, what does it mean?"
Yang Xiu laughed out loud. "General, is it that the Yue people are not only barbarians, but also royal families who once held great power?"
"It's hard to say whether it's a royal family, but the ancestors of the Yue people were not barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood. This is basically more reliable." Sun Ce did not wait for Yang Xiu to refute and said, "Don't forget that Dayu had been to Kuaiji when he was controlling the flood. Kuaiji now has Yuwangtai."
Yang Xiu was not good at opposing directly for a moment. "These are all legends, the village man said, "The so-called Yuwangtai is just a mound, and there are no steles. Who knows whether it is true or false?"
"Even if there is a stele, I'm afraid you won't know these words. You haven't even studied the Chu characters from the Warring States Period thoroughly, and you still want to know Xia Chu's words?" Sun Ce sneered. "I can't find the stele, but I still have a way to prove my guess."
"How to prove it?"
"Ancient jade often appears in Qiantang and Yuhang area, and some of the shapes are very strange."
The expression on Yang Xiu's face changed suddenly. He stared at Sun Ce for a while before he said uncertainly: "General... could he be a joke, right?"
Sun Ce smiled and his eyes were joking. "Do you think I'm joking? Yang Dezu, the opportunity is in front of you. If you don't dare to face it, it's still time to go back." He said quietly: "This has a much greater influence than the few ancient Chinese scriptures. Not only will your Yang family encounter trouble in the modern scriptures, but the entire Confucian classics may have to be rewritten."
