After reading the article, Lu Kang threw the document back on the desk, glanced at Shen You, but said nothing, and said to Sun Ce lightly: "What do you think, General?"

"It's a new way of studying, it's also a new way of thinking."

"Study ideas?" Lu Kang sneered: "Isn't it just a far-fetched approach, so how can there be any new ideas? Over the past few hundred years, I have read too many such stories. No matter how well written this kind of article is, can it surpass Liu Xin?"

Shen You was so embarrassed that his face was red and he was ashamed. Even if he had eloquence, he would not dare to be presumptuous in front of Lu Kang. Sun Ce was very calm and said slowly: "Mr. Lu, you are so serious. You only see the parts that are easily misunderstood, but you don't see the insights in it. I think you are almost paranoid when buying a box and returning a bead."

Lu Kang lowered his face. Although he was not a great scholar, he could see clearly the meaning of this article, clearly speaking about the destiny for Sun Ce. This is also normal. Shen Youxin has been committed to Sun Ce, and is eager to make contributions. There is no surprise at all. It has nothing to do with Sun Ce himself. He taught Shen You a lesson and told him to restrain himself and not to bewitch Sun Ce. But Sun Ce defended Shen You, which shows that Sun Ce agreed with Shen You's opinion, and it might even be written by Sun Ce for Sun Ce, which is not possible.

A few days ago, Sun Ce had vowed to say that he would wait and see, but now he couldn't wait to create public opinion for himself, which was a fool of him. If this is the case, the Lu family in Wujun must keep a distance from Sun Ce and cannot be used by Sun Ce, which will ruin his reputation.

"Please give me advice, General."

"I dare not take the advice." Sun Ce said slowly, as if he had not seen Lu Kang's face. "Before answering Mr. Lu's question, I would like to ask Mr. Lu a question first, can I?"

Lu Kang's breath was a little heavy, his gray eyebrows trembled, but he still suppressed his anger and nodded reluctantly. "If the general can be honest, Kang will be grateful. Although Kang is indifferent to his virtues and talent, if he can solve the general's doubts, he will definitely speak out and say everything."

"Does Mr. Lu believe that Shun avoids Danzhu?"

Seeing that Sun Ce was still hiding, Lu Kang couldn't help but be angry and blurted out. "Is it important to believe or not? The general is not old yet, but he regards himself as Da Shun. Don't think it's too much? Even Wang Mang just regards himself as Duke Zhou."

Shen You changed his color in shock. Lu Kang compared Sun Ce to Wang Mang, which was too much. He was about to refute, but Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled him not to be excited. He poured a cup of his hand and handed it to Lu Kang.

Lu Kang also regretted his words. Although he was angry, he did not want to turn against Sun Ce. He also wanted to advise Sun Ce as much as possible and not to act alone. Sun Ce was surrounded by young people. The advantages of young people were full of energy and bright futures, but they also had many shortcomings. Impulse was one of them. If you could not guide them well and watch them running wildly on the wrong road, it would be a pity. Seeing that Sun Ce was not angry, it seemed not as he was worried, he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly reminded himself that he could not be impulsive anymore.

After Lu Kang took two sips of water, he gradually calmed down. Sun Ce continued: "Mr. Lu, although I am conceited, I dare not regard myself as Da Shun, and I have no interest. A few days ago, what I and Mr. Lu said were all from the heart. Now it has not changed, and it will not change in the future. Please rest assured of this."

Lu Kang couldn't tell the authenticity clearly for a while, and he was skeptical.

"Mr. Lu, academia is academic, and try not to be linked to politics. I am more concerned about the fact that Shun avoids Danzhu, rather than who is Shun in the world. I have told Mr. Lu that the true destiny is the heart of the people. Even if a man wins the heart of the people, he can be the emperor. If he loses the heart of the people, even Yao and Shun can also lose the world. So, what I want to ask Mr. Lu is, do you think the matter of Shun avoids Danzhu, is it true or false?"

Seeing that Sun Ce had no intention of imitating the present from ancient times, Lu Kang was unbelievable and even couldn't believe it. "Don't the general believe that Han was the queen of Yao?"

"Don't believe it."

"Then why do you think the Gao Emperor can win the world?"

"This is not the issue we are going to discuss today." Sun Ce grinned. "We will not discuss the mysterious issue of destiny today. I only ask Mr. Lu, do you believe in Shun Yu Danzhu?"

Lu Kang stared at Sun Ce for a long time, and saw that Sun Ce's eyes were clear and calm, not like making false things. A trace of regret flashed in his heart, feeling that he was suspected of judging a gentleman's ambition by a villain's heart and losing the demeanor of an elder. His eyes flashed for a long time and shook his head. "Don't believe it."

"What do you mean is that the legends in the Wuhui area are all lies?"

"I dare not say it's all lies, but I dare not believe it without classics."

Sun Ce smiled, with a hint of cunning in his eyes. Lu Kang didn't believe it, but he didn't want him to use this story to create momentum, so he deliberately said he didn't believe it. "Lu Gong is rigorous, it's really rare, but how many of the so-called classics were passed down from ancient times? According to Mr. Lu's statement, the six classics are all false, because their inheritance has no classics to prove it. Even if the inheritance is orderly, it will not be the end of the Qin and early Han dynasties before. I can also say that these are compiled by those people."

Lu Kang was speechless, stroked his beard and thought for a moment, and asked back, "Is the general convinced?"

"I dare not believe it easily, just like Mr. Lu, but I think I can study it and find evidence, such as monuments or tombs, rather than believing it in a hasty way or not. Mr. Lu thinks?"

Lu Kang was thinking. Sun Ce explained the basic concept of archaeology again. "For example, if we find a cemetery, we can know that there were people living here, and we can also know whether he was poor or rich from the burial objects in the tomb. If we discover an old city, even if there are only residues left in the city, as long as we can distinguish the general scope of the city, we can basically infer that there was once a city and what scale it was. If we find a large number of jade artifacts, it may prove that there was once civilization here, rather than barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood."

Lu Kang looked slightly and felt that Sun Ce was right. "The general said that Shen Zizheng's article was worthy, but for this?"

"Mr. Lu, although this article is superficial, it can be used to draw a piece of bricks and jade. As long as it is reasonable, or agree or refute, it is fine, it is better than talking about those illusory destiny. Knowledge is knowledge, and it does not have to be connected with the court. Lu Gong, Handan Chun, and Hu Zhao used the ancient steles they discovered to correct the history of Chu. Wu Hui is talented. Can't we do the same thing? Maybe we can find evidence that Wu Hui had already entered a saint, and it was not a barbaric place?"

Lu Kang was moved. He was over 60 years old and had been an official all his life. He was too tired and did not want to suffer from the hardships of the document. But he didn't want to retire. If he could do some academic research, increase his understanding of his hometown, and even compile a historical book that is more perfect than "Wu Yue Chunqiu" and "Yue Jue Shu", he could also leave his name in history. The ancients said that the three immortals were immortal, and he did not dare to hope to establish virtue and achieve meritorious deeds, but he could make words.

"The general said something is reasonable. Although Wu Hui is not as prosperous as the Central Plains culture, with many famous scholars and unhappy in career, there are many people who are interested in learning. If they can allocate special funds like Nanyang County School to allow them to study with peace of mind, it should be helpful to culture."

Seeing Lu Kang's heartbeat, Shen You breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sun Ce with gratitude. He thought he would be scolded by Lu Kang, but Sun Ce really convinced Lu Kang. Sun Ce smiled. Debate not only requires skills, but also emphasis on momentum. Only by being straightforward can one be strong. Although Shen You are good at eloquence, he is a junior Lu Kang. He has a ghost in his heart. If he is not straightforward, how can he be strong? He has been quarrel with Lu Kang before, but now he is not ashamed of his heart. He has nothing to be afraid of. He is better than Shen You in terms of momentum. He just took this opportunity to deceive Lu Kang to prepare for a county school and win over scholars in Wu County. Lu Kang is upright. Once he finds that he is wrong, he will feel guilty and feel better.

"Mr. Lu, you suddenly came here today. Isn't it just to teach us young people a lesson?"

Only then did Lu Kang remember his purpose and slapped his forehead. "I came here specially to tell Xu Chun and his son to come to the city for trial on the order of Prefect Xu."

Sun Ce frowned, very polite and determined. "Mr. Lu, this may not work."
