Chapter 1611 Zhang Hong's advice
"She told me." Cai Jue gave Huang Chengyan a blank look and said angrily: "But I still want to hear you say it again. For such an important thing, you don't even send me a message, making me like a village woman, almost making a joke. Achu is the same. Since she has so close dating with Cai Jijiu, why is it never mentioned in her family's letter? Every time I know that General Sun and General Sun, no matter how much she spoiled her, I didn't marry her as a wife. Is it necessary to be so happy?"
"General Sun marrying Yuan Heng as his wife is General Yuan's will. He is entrusted by others and has to follow the matter of loyalty. As for Achu, she just likes it. Why care about the right wife and the concubine's wife? Is it that important? As for women, just marry a man she wants to marry, and don't care too much about her status."
"That's what you men think, and we women may not think so." Cai Jue turned his head and looked out the window. "Since General Sun said that men and women are equal, I will ask him later that he can marry a regular wife or a concubine wife, so can my daughter marry several people at the same time."
Huang Chengyan smiled bitterly. It seems that Cai Jue did not have the upper hand in Cai Yan, and he had no place to vent his resentment. However, he was also a little curious. Is Sun Ce advocating equality between men and women? Or did he really think that women can be side by side with men? There is no essential difference? He is not worried about his wife. Although Cai Jue is strong-willed, she is not a person without composure. Even for the happiness of her daughter, she will not take the initiative to conflict with Sun Ce.
"Since you are here, don't rush back. I'm going to Huihu tomorrow. Pang Shiyuan's wedding the day after tomorrow. I'll accompany you to pack your luggage and go to Wuxian to celebrate the New Year with Achu. Achu is 16, so it's time to get things done."
"I was a child when I left four years ago, but now I'm going to get married." Cai Jue sighed slightly sadly. "I suddenly understood my mother's thoughts at the beginning. You say, I..." She wanted to speak but stopped, leaned against the wall of the car, with a little regret in her eyes.
Huang Chengyan looked at Cai Jue quietly. "It's okay in the afternoon, I'll go and worship her with you."
"Yes." Cai Jue responded softly, got up and sat with Huang Chengyan, leaning his head on his shoulder. Huang Chengyan held her hand, held it in the palm of his hand, and gently stroked it. Cai Jue's face turned red and he moved his hands, but did not pull it back.
There were more than three miles away, and it was a short while. The carriage stopped at the entrance of the camp. Huang Chengyan took action first. Zhuge Liang, who was standing at the door, quickly greeted him and bowed to him. "The wine sacrifice is back."
Huang Chengyan was very surprised and led Cai Jue out of the car while saying, "Are you waiting for me?"
Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile, and greeted Cai Jue again. "The general ordered me to wait here and ask if the priest and wife had any arrangements at noon? If it was convenient, he would like to invite the virtuous couple to have lunch."
Huang Chengyan turned his head to look at Cai Jue. Cai Jue was also a little surprised, but was very satisfied. He gave Huang Chengyan a wink. Huang Chengyan said, "Where is the general?"
"In the big tent, we are discussing matters with Zhang Changshi and Guo Jijiu."
"Okay, let's go back to the account first and go to see the general later."
"No, you two go back to the tent to rest first. If the general is empty, he will go to the tent to invite him." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "The general said, the couple is different." After that, he took two steps back, bowed and turned around.
Cai Jue couldn't help but smile and said, "How come we are different? What does this mean?"
Huang Chengyan was calm. "When you meet later, just ask him in person, don't worry. Let's go, I'll take you back to wash and change your clothes. I'll tell you that I brought some new clothes from Wancheng, all of which are new styles. You will definitely like them when you wear them."
Cai Jue glanced at Huang Chengyan. "How do you still buy clothes?"
"Haha, it's actually simple. Go to the largest and best yishop in Wancheng, tell them the size, and buy one set of all the new models."
Cai Jue couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud. "The poor are not afraid of laughing at the moment of being rich."
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not afraid when I'm poor, but now I'm rich, so don't be afraid." Huang Chengyan took Cai Jue's hand and walked to his tent with slogan. The soldiers on duty nodded and greeted Huang Chengyan. Cai Jue was a little embarrassed and wanted to break away from Huang Chengyan's hand, but Huang Chengyan refused to let go, and even said in her ear: "Look, these are the elites around General Sun. They usually look like bad people, but they are very polite to us. Do you know why?"
"How do I know?"
Huang Chengyan smiled slightly. "Because they all want a weapon I made by myself to treat it as a family heirloom."
Cai Jue gave Huang Chengyan a blank look. "Then why didn't you think about leaving a heirloom for the Huang family?"
"My family heirloom of the Huang family is my daughter. Of course, you have your contributions."
"Du." Cai Jue spat at him, feeling a little sad again. "Although my daughter is well, she is about to get married. I'm sorry for not being able to give birth to a son for you."
"What do you say about those things?" Huang Chengyan patted Cai Jue on the shoulder. "In the future, if you have a grandson, choose someone who changes his surname to Huang, the same one."
Cai Jue wanted to speak but stopped.
——
There was a list in front of Sun Ce, which was about the people who went to Caizhou until now and the changes before and after last night. The changes were obvious. After Cai Feng left the camp and returned to Cai Zhou, only one-third of the people who were still in contact with Cai Feng, and about seven or eight people were left.
Zhang Hong and Guo Jia sat opposite him and looked at Sun Ce silently. The list was sent by Guo Jia. Zhang Hong saw it, but there was no expression on his face. No one could guess what he thought in his heart.
"It's true that it's a fence-bearing, and it's falling down with the wind." Sun Ce knocked on the desk and sneered: "Are these people going to the Pang family now? Shi Yuan is busy. Fengxiao, and transfer a few people from the military strategy department to help. Don't get tired of Shi Yuan and delay the bridal chamber."
"Not only the Pang family, but also Huihu." Guo Jia waved his feather fan lightly. "Those people are very sharp-eyed. Once Yang Yi shows up, they can smell the smell. The general will go to Huihu tomorrow and see many familiar faces."
"It doesn't matter whether those people recognize them or not. Check whether there are people from the court or Yizhou here. If they are just locals from Xiangyang, they cannot cause any storm. But if someone adds the fire, we must be careful. Sir, you are in the open, control the overall situation, serve the filial piety in the dark, control the details, and fight with the court."
"Here." Zhang Hong bowed and agreed.
"What's the news about Xun Yu?" Sun Ce smiled and said, "He has a bet with you. Now he is at a disadvantage. He should not be content with himself, right? Sir, if you are forced to do anything, you can't do anything. Don't treat Xun Yu as a stubborn person."
Zhang Hong smiled and nodded with a deep sense of agreement. He was in Nanyang and was always very concerned about the situation in Guanzhong. He saw Xun Yu’s actions over the past few years. He even felt more touched by Xun Yu’s changes than Sun Ce. Not to mention anything else, Xun Yu would marry Princess Hongnong, which surprised him very much.
"Don't worry, General, I will do my best. However, I now have a suggestion that is not only rigid but also almost pedantic, like a thorn in my throat, I dare not speak without saying anything, and I hope the general and Fengxiao think three times."
Sun Ce looked at Zhang Hong in surprise and looked at Guo Jia again. Hearing Zhang Hong's opinion, he seemed to want to have some opinions on the Yizhou strategy. As for whether he was targeting the Yizhou strategy itself or Guo Jia's desire to expand the scale of the detailed work, it was hard to say. In front of Guo Jia, there was no one else present, so the latter should be more likely.
Guo Jia was also surprised, but he immediately reacted and nodded quietly. "Mr. Zigang, why not speak out."
"Fengxiao, I want to ask you, what is the most urgent task for the general? Is it Yizhou?"
Guo Jia blinked. "What about the opinion of sir?"
"It's destiny."
Sun Ce's heart moved. "Destiny?"
Zhang Hong nodded solemnly. "Yes, it's destiny. I know that the general does not believe in the destiny, and the general is more willing to believe in the public opinion. However, the public opinion is as unpredictable as the destiny, and sometimes it is even more elusive than the destiny. The destiny of heaven is far away, and there are still three unifications and five elements to be figured out. What can the public opinion be based on? The people who farm farms are the people, and are the powerful families not the people?"
Guo Jia smiled and was about to speak. Sun Ce shook his head and told him not to rush to defend himself. He would listen to Zhang Hong's opinions first. He believed in Zhang Hong's character. He was not the kind of person who took the benefits of the Xiangyang family and wanted to speak good things for the Xiangyang family.
Zhang Hong bowed again and continued: "The general promotes industry and commerce, reduces his talent, builds martial arts, wood learning, and other churches for the people's profits, builds a paradise in troubled times, promotes education to open up people's wisdom, change customs and customs. This is the general's benevolence and supreme merit. Guanzhong, the people of Henan came to the rivers, just like the rivers returning to the sea. If they can persevere and not leave a lifetime, peace will be a success for thousands of years."
"But the achievements of a lifetime are not easy, let alone the achievements of a thousand years. Changing customs and customs is never a matter of success. Xiangyang is the place where the generals first fight, and the Cai family is the business that the generals first developed. Now they have encountered problems, so how can other places be exceptions? The Cai family is profitable, and the Xiangyang family is forgetting their righteousness when they see profit. Can the generals kill them solve the problem?"
Guo Jia couldn't help asking, "What does this have to do with destiny?"
"Of course it's relevant. Because they depend on the general not for the destiny, but for the sake of profit, the general tempts it with profit, and they tempt it with profit. How can it be sufficient for people? For example, the Cai family, whose industry has been several times over several years, why are they still not satisfied? Greedy, the snake swallows the elephant. Today, the general can take away the Cai family's industry and support the Pang family, Yang family, Pang family, and Yang family, and the Yang family will definitely learn lessons and abide by morality? The general wants to summon Du Ji to investigate the Xiangyang family, although it is for the long-term stability and balanced development, but will others believe it? Do they think that the general is unable to repay the debt and plunder the people's wealth? Since even the Cai family can do this, how can others feel at ease?"
Guo Jia's face changed slightly, and he was a little short of breath. "The rumors stopped at the wise. If you want to add a crime, you will be in trouble!"
