Sun Ce discussed with Sun Jian the arrangements of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others. The court surrendered temporarily, Yuan Tan fought with Liu Bei for Youzhou again, and the pressure in the Central Plains was temporarily alleviated, and he took this opportunity to adjust the defense line. Especially Cheng Pu and Wu Jing, they could no longer let them watch people eat meat. Lujiang and Jiujiang have become an inner county, so there is no need to arrange such powerful forces to enrich them to the front line, and also send people who are better at governing the people as prefects.

Of course, it would be best if Sun Jian went south to Jiaozhou and brought these old subordinates with him. First, these people have worked with Sun Jian for many years and have a tacit understanding. Second, these people are all from uncles and uncles, and Sun Jian is still alive, so there are some problems that Sun Ce needs to use them, which is not very convenient.

After hearing Sun Ce’s arrangement, Sun Jian smiled and pointed at him. “Sir, you are forcing me to submit.”

Sun Ce even said he didn't dare. "I just object to your going to Chang'an. As long as you don't go to Chang'an, there will be no problem in other places. Go to Jiaozhou in the south and Youzhou in the north, and you will choose as you choose. It's okay if you don't want to let down the late emperor. I will negotiate with the court as a condition and the court will issue an edict to appoint them. At worst, I can give them some money and food. The court is so poor that it is worth it. As long as you give money and food, you can talk about anything."

Sun Jian laughed and scolded: "Bastard, is the court still in your mouth? It's almost the same as a beggar. Stop talking, don't blame me for slapping you."

"Okay, okay, don't say, don't say." Sun Ce smiled and begged for mercy, got up and left, and asked Sun Jian to think about it carefully. He went out of the door, turned into the backyard, and prepared to ask his mother, Mrs. Wu, to take care of her, and ask her to persuade her father to go anywhere, but not to go to Chang'an. Isn't this equivalent to sending her vitals into someone else's hands? As soon as he reached the door, he saw Sun Quan walk out of it, with a little embarrassed expression. He greeted Sun Ce, lowered his head and was about to leave.

"Wait." Sun Ce stopped Sun Quan.

Sun Quan had no choice but to stop, but still lowered his head.

"Raise your head."

Sun Quan hesitated for a while, slowly raised his head, his blue eyes were a little red and swollen, and it seemed that he had just cried. Sun Ce couldn't help but feel funny. He walked to Sun Quan, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? Why are you crying?"

"I..." Sun Quan sniffed. "I don't want to marry Xie Xianying anymore."

"Xie Xianying? Haven't you not mentioned it long ago?"

"The Xie family... are here."

Sun Ce understood. The Xie family regretted it and wanted to get married again, but Sun Quan didn't want it anymore. "Then who do you like?"

Sun Quan blinked. "Brother, will you help me?"

"What can I help you?" Sun Ce smiled and said, "Snatching someone? That's what the woman is willing to do. If her parents don't want to do it, I can help you. If the woman doesn't want to do it, I can't help you."

"Then forget it." Sun Quan drooped his eyebrows and flattened his mouth, broke free from Sun Ce's hand, turned around and left. "Anyway, I'm not popular, so I'd better find a way myself." After saying that, he rushed out as if he was running away.

Sun Ce was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he turned around and walked into his mother's room, and found that his aunt, Mrs. Sun, was also there. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and greeted her. Mrs. Wu pointed outside. "Is Zhongmou leaving?"

"Let's go." Sun Ce said: "Whose woman has he fallen in love with?"

"I don't know either. He refused to say it. It's probably because the woman didn't like him, and you refused to help him steal it. It would be useless to say it."

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Then I can't help him. He liked Xie Xianying at that time and sweared that he would not marry her. Now that he is willing, he refuses. Thanks to not helping him rob him, otherwise wouldn't he harm his daughter?"

Mrs. Wu sighed. "That's right, this child used to be the most calm one among your brothers, but now he is the opposite. He is very frizzy and doesn't know who he is anxious with..."

Mrs. Sun suddenly laughed and said, "Who are you anxious with? Just follow him."

"Who?" Sun Ce understood a little when he saw Mrs. Sun looking at him with a smile. "Me?"

"Who else can you be?" Mrs. Sun covered her mouth and smiled, with heroic eyes and eyes. Although Mrs. Sun was not famous, she was a bit masculine like Sun Shangxiang, who was later called Mrs. Sun. "Look at the women around you, they are either talented, tolerant, or noble, and no one is chosen from a thousand. Although the woman in the Xie family is not bad in appearance, it is not the same as the people around you. Zhongmou always thought that you were a role model. Even if you can't marry a woman like you, at least you have to marry someone who is not far apart."

Sun Ce was a little embarrassed. Can I blame me for this? It’s not a gift, so I can share him with one. “Does that aunt know whose daughter he likes?”

"I don't know this. But there were so many people coming to welcome you father and son two days ago, and there were many female relatives among them. Maybe some of them could fall into his eyes." Mrs. Sun pondered: "But this is not right. Since we are here to welcome you, there is no reason to refuse the Sun family's proposal. They all wished to marry the Sun family, otherwise they wouldn't have come."

Mrs. Wu's eyes turned and suddenly said, "I understand."

"Do you know?" Sun Ce and Mrs. Sun asked in unison.

"Yes, the one who came to welcome may not be the one who wanted to catch up with my Sun family, such as your Xu family." Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Although your daughter cannot be said to be of national character, she is also heroic. I liked Zhongmou at that time when I saw her, but she refused to look at Zhongmou more."

Mrs. Sun suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing. "It's possible that the child has always been a high-spirited person. I heard that Shang Xiang was a Linwei and wanted to be a female military advisor. I hope to meet Shang Xiang every day to follow the story of the ancient wise ruler and wise minister. Since I saw Shang Xiang and had a speculative conversation, I would not have the intention to look at Zhongmou again."

Sun Ce was confused when he heard this, and Mrs. Sun told the situation. When she came to greet Sun Jian the day before yesterday, she not only had her granddaughter Xu Wanhua, but also from the daughter Xu Jie. However, Xu Jie and Sun Shangxiang were so striking that they hid aside and chatted, so Sun Ce did not notice it. After hearing what Mrs. Sun said, Sun Ce guessed who Xu Jie might be. This was also a strange woman with his own opinions. No wonder Sun Quan wanted to make an idea about her, so no wonder he would hit a wall.

If it were her, she wouldn't be able to help her. Speaking of which, Sun Quan was only fourteen, so why did he think so much? This kid was born with a lot of heart. He first instigated his father Sun Jian to come forward to ask for an official position, but now he asked his mother, Mrs. Wu to propose marriage, so there was no time to stop?

Sun Ce put this aside, told his mother Mrs. Wu about his arrangements for Sun Jian, and asked his aunt Mrs. Sun to help persuade him. Sun Jian still trusted this sister quite well. After hearing Sun Ce's words, Mrs. Sun sighed.

"Bofu, it's really not easy for you. The old ones want you to worry, and the young ones want you to worry. If the Sun family had no longer you, it would have been impossible for today."

Sun Ce was ashamed, humbled a few words, and stood up to say goodbye. Mrs. Sun called him. "I, an old man, have something to look for you."

"Please tell me, aunt."

"My daughter wants to join the army and join the Yulin Guard. Do you think it can work?"

"Auntie is willing to let it go." Sun Ce smiled and said, "The army is not as hard as home. It's more difficult. Your aunt might as well let her follow Shangxiang for a few days. When the new year comes, I'm very welcome if she wants to join the army."

"Okay, then that's it."

Sun Ce said goodbye and went out, feeling a little uncomfortable. He originally heard Sun Jian’s reminder that he wanted to promote Sun Quan, but judging from this situation, this kid seemed to be even more useless. Could it be that my arrival ruined his life? Sun Ce thought about it while going out and came to the yard where the guests lived. Guo Jia and others lived here, and he wanted to discuss it with Guo Jia. When he entered the yard, he saw that Yuan Quan was playing six-beat with Cai Jue, Cai Ke, and Mrs. Zhong, but he didn’t see Guo Jia. She asked Mrs. Zhong, and Mrs. Zhong said that Guo Jia and Huang Chengyan went fishing on the sandbank in the heart of the river at Sun Fu’s invitation.

When Sun Ce heard this, he felt a lot more relaxed. Something happened between the north and the south, and Guo Jia was still intent on fishing, which showed that he was confident. He turned around and went out the door, came to the riverside, jumped on a small boat, and came to the sandbank in the middle of the river. Guo Jia and Huang Chengyan were talking and laughing. Sun Fu and two boys were holding up the wind-shielding brocade on the sandbank, laying mats, setting up a couch and table table, setting up a fire, and there were copper pots on the fire, which were gusting and steaming, and the fragrance was everywhere. There were two boys picking up the fish they caught by the river.

Seeing that Sun Ce was coming, Guo Jia hurriedly asked him to sit down. "The fish will be ready soon, fishing and grilling now, it is absolutely fresh and delicious."

Sun Ce took his seat and smiled and said, "Only fish are not called fresh, fish with sheep are called fresh, and it is best to be Youzhou sheep, which has no mutton smell."

Guo Jia laughed. "That depends on whether the general eats lambs or whole sheep. If you want to eat whole sheep, it is better to wait a little longer."

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Sun Ce felt more at ease. Needless to say, the Military Affairs Office must have discussed this issue and had a plan. Sure enough, Guo Jia hooked his finger, and Jun Mou Zhong Changtong ran over and handed a document to Sun Ce. Sun Ce took it in his hand, but Zhong Changtong did not leave. Sun Ce glanced at him and put down the document in his hand.

"Axiom, is there something wrong?"

Zhong Changtong took out a roll of paper from his sleeve. "General, do you still remember what I said?"

Sun Ce couldn't remember it for a moment, but he didn't rush to ask, but thought about it very seriously, gradually getting a little impression, and couldn't help but sit up. "Is it about "Qianfu Lun"?"

Zhong Changtong grinned. "I didn't expect the general to remember it. That's right, this is part of the "Qianfu Theory" I compiled. Please read it."

Sun Ce was very surprised. It took Pang Shanmin four or five years to write a first draft of the "Salt and Iron Theory". Zhong Changtong only completed the "Qianfu Theory" in less than two years. Even if he was a military planner, he did not have a specific official business and had more free time, he would not be so idle. It is not easy to sort out articles these days. Sometimes, in order to verify some words, I don't know how much it takes.

"Who did you co-author?"
