Licheng's chrysanthemums are very famous. It is said that drinking this kind of chrysanthemum tea can prolong life. Therefore, Sikong Wang Chang - Liu Biao's teacher, and Taiwei Hu Guang - Cai Yong's teacher, all drink this kind of chrysanthemum tea all year round to enjoy a high age. Therefore, Taifu Yuan Wei's life span is slightly shorter, but that is not the responsibility of Licheng's chrysanthemums. He was destroyed by Dong Zhuo, otherwise he would have to be at least over 80.

Sun Ce was 16 or 7 years old and had no interest in longevity, but this era does not have tea in the sense of later generations, so using chrysanthemums to soak in water is the closest. In winter, the fire is very high, and you have to face Xu Rong, the strong enemy. Drinking some chrysanthemum tea to reduce the fire is also a good choice.

It has been very busy during this period. I didn’t have a free time. Now I left Wancheng and was in the military camp, but suddenly I got idle. Although there were a lot of things in the military camp, it was still simpler to deal with military affairs and pay attention to Xu Rong’s movements at any time. Then I talked about military tactics and martial arts with Huang Zhong, Wen Pin and others.

Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao fought for dozens of rounds, and they were very satisfied with the fight. They no longer doubted Sun Ce's previous judgment. He also said that Zhang Liao's martial arts had not reached its peak. In another ten years, he had more experience and matched his body and mentality to truly reach the peak. By that time, he might not be Zhang Liao's opponent. His life was fifty, his qi and blood had already declined, and his martial arts began to decline.

Sun Ce felt that Huang Zhong was right and a little proud. At the peak of his life, Huang Zhong should be grateful to him. Although Huang Zhong also killed Xiahou Yuan in history, he became famous too late, and he fought for his life in that battle. He died not long after, and he could not enjoy a few years of glory. Now, he still has at least twenty or thirty years of glory. If nothing unexpected happens, he can even live longer than in history.

Become famous as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Ce performed his duties as a matchmaker and solemnly recommended Qin Mu's sister Qin Luo to Huang Zhong. But the result was very embarrassing. Huang Zhong married a wife, and the couple had a good relationship, but they had never had children, so he had no children over the age of 40. Sun Ce recommended Qin Luo, but Huang Zhong even said he did not dare. The Qin family was a powerful man in Guanzhong, and his family background was much stronger than his Huang family, let alone a concubine. The implication was that even if his wife was infertile, he would not divorce his wife and marry him.

Qin Mu was in a dilemma. Although his sister was a little older, the identity and family background of both parties were there, and it was already a pity to marry Huang Zhong. How could he be a concubine? He didn't know clearly before, and this matter was done rashly. Huang Zhong was also embarrassed. His wife was in her hometown and had not received a visit from Wancheng. She usually had few contacts with the generals. There were not many people who knew about this. When he took Qin Mu Ma, he didn't think about this at all. He knew that Qin Mu had an older sister, but it was too different from his age.

Seeing this, Sun Ce didn't say anything more. This was the business of the two families, so it would be better for them to handle it themselves. He brought the topic back to martial arts. Although Zhang Liao ran away, his plan was not over yet. It was impossible to tell when he would meet Zhang Liao again. It would always be better to prepare early.

Huang Zhongzhi said everything and said everything. He also personally discussed with Sun Ce to simulate Zhang Liao's martial arts characteristics and acted as a sparring practice.

Sun Ce thought carefully and did not dare to be careless at all.

A few days ago, when he mentioned this to Deng Zhan, Deng Zhan said something, and he was deeply inspired. Deng Zhan said that martial arts things first depend on talent, such as strength, reaction, and with these foundations, coupled with the guidance of famous teachers, you can only practice good martial arts by yourself. However, after reaching a certain level, you will encounter a bottleneck. If you want to break through this bottleneck, famous teachers cannot help, and hard work may not solve the problem. The key is to understand. People with insight can understand all kinds of knowledge and enter the realm of transformation from then on. People without insight will not be able to enter that realm even if they practice for a lifetime.

Deng Zhan said that Sun Ce has advantages in physical fitness, and needs strength and reaction. With Sun Jian enlightening him and being willing to work hard, he can become a master at a young age and even encounter a bottleneck. Whether he can break through this bottleneck is not a question of whether he is willing to endure hardships, but whether he has this understanding.

The understanding is magical, and Deng Zhan couldn't explain it clearly. He just advised Sun Ce not to worry. With his age, it is already amazing to have such martial arts. Many people will never reach such a height in their lives. If they want to further their efforts, they might have read more books. After all, the understanding is to learn from each other and learn from one example.

Deng Zhan also gave Sun Ce a suggestion. Although the Tai Chi he practiced was very rough, it is worth studying carefully. Hardness and softness, straightness and curves were originally complementary. Most people's martial arts are mainly based on hardness and straightness, just like boxing and spear techniques, which is comparable to who is stronger and who is faster. Tai Chi can overcome hardness with softness and slowness to fast. There is a deep truth here.

Sun Ce has a deep understanding of this. His understanding of Tai Chi is very superficial. He still relies on his own martial arts foundation when he works with others, but occasionally using Tai Chi's boxing intention can often achieve unexpected results. I often hear people say that Tai Chi is a reasonable boxing, which emphasizes intention rather than form. He has never really practiced Tai Chi, which actually does not affect his boxing principles of Tai Chi.

Having said that, it would not be a matter of time to truly break the bottleneck. He could only follow Deng Zhan’s advice, calm down and accumulate strength.

With masters like Huang Zhong and Dian Wei as sparring training, and with martial arts masters like Deng Zhan, he believes that he can go further. But sparring is not enough, he also needs a large opponent to stimulate his potential.

Zhang Liao is obviously a good opponent and he doesn't want to miss it.

His wish was soon realized, and Zhang Liao returned and challenged him.

Sun Ce was in his heart, and with a big stroke, he wrote four big words about flying dragons and phoenixes on the war book: Fight again tomorrow. At the same time, he told the knight who came to the war book that he hoped that Wen Yuan would be lost and that we could still be friends.

After receiving Sun Ce's reply, Zhang Liao was a little confused. If it was just to alienate him and Duan Wei, Duan Wei had been defeated by Sun Ce, and there was no need for Sun Ce to mention this matter again, and he spoke with a sensible attitude and sincerely advised him to turn back.

Could it be that I remembered it wrongly that I have really met Sun Ce before and have like-mindedness with him?

Under the night, Zhang Liao sat in front of the tent, drinking while recalling his experiences over the past year, especially in Luoyang. He could not remember Sun Ce. This incident was strange and unreasonable, but he was not sure. So many things happened in the past year. General He Jin died, and his old boss, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, also died, and he died at the hands of Lu Bu. The palace was burned, Luoyang was burned, the late emperor died, the young emperor was established and deposed, and Dong Zhuo became the Grand Tutor. The world was in chaos, and Shandong prefectures and counties fought against Dong, and their momentum disappeared in a blink of an eye. What was not incredible?

Maybe I have really met Sun Ce, but I just feel ashamed of my old friend, so I don’t want to think of it?

Was it wrong for me to join Dong Zhuo? Dong Zhuo was the governor of Bingzhou before, but now he is the Grand Tutor below one person and above ten thousand people. So many important officials of the court, famous scholars and scholars and scholars recognized him. Why can't I admit it? If Lu Bu was a martial artist and was traitorous for his wealth, then what about the famous scholar Wang Yun?
