Chapter 290 Knife and Pen

The Master said: If the name is not upright, the words will not go well; if the words are not upright, the things will not go well.

In the case of absolute advantage, this sentence has no meaning. Regardless of whether you have a legitimate name or not, you can just push it all the way, and it is also correct. The problem is that in most cases, no one has such strength. Not to mention that Sun Ce does not have it now, nor does Yuan Shao do it.

Where is his reputation? In Chang'an, in the little emperor who was just over teenage. Although Dong Zhuo was awesome in the past, Wang Yun was awesome now, and I don't know who is awesome in the future, they are all furious, and the emperor is the only one. Even if Cao Cao had mastered most of the world, he did not dare to push the emperor aside and do it himself. He had to wait for Cao Pi to direct and act in a big drama, and he would give up half of it and want to refuse.

You can say that this is ridiculous, but everyone in the world recognizes this.

Yuan Quan made a point. Fighting for Yuan Shu is fighting for the Sun family father and son, because everything the Sun family father and son did was acted on the order of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was a bastard and a playboy, but he did not show any signs of rebellion. He had a Yuan family background like Yuan Shao, but was not as arrogant as Yuan Shao. Before he could even tell the horoscope, he denied the emperor's bloodline and wanted to not make Liu Yu the emperor.

If the court refused to admit Yuan Shu's loyalty, could it still recognize the Sun family's father and son?

If Yuan Shu is admitted, what reason do they have to make things difficult for the Sun family and son?

To put it bluntly, Yuan Shu is the shield of the Sun family father and son. Requesting a posthumous title for Yuan Shu is to win the title of the Sun family father and son. In this kind of thing, Sun Ce is not as sharp as Yuan Quan, because he does not have such a concept in his subconscious mind.

Sun Ce turned around and went out. The other two bowed to Yuan Quan and followed him out.

Yuan Quan's face remained unchanged, but his emotions were a little depressed. Yuan Heng turned to Yuan Quan's front, tilted his head and looked at Yuan Quan for a moment, and said in confusion: "Sister, why did he call your wife? Don't call you sister? Are you angry?"

Yuan Quan gave Yuan Heng a blank look, couldn't help laughing, and squirted his fingers and flicked Yuan Heng's forehead. "Do you think he is like you, a child, and he revolved around his sister every day? He is now the governor of Yuzhou and will lead tens of thousands of troops to fight. In the future..." Yuan Quan hesitated and did not continue.

"What's going on in the future?"

"Who can tell the future?" Yuan Quan sighed softly, hugged Yuan Heng, straightened the hair on her cheeks. "Aheng, there are several mountains in front of him, one higher than the other, and each mountain is very dangerous. It is really hard to say whether it can be turned over. At this time, we must help him as much as possible and not cause trouble for him, do you understand?"

Yuan Heng nodded obediently.

When Sun Ce left the Yuan family and returned to the camp, he found a problem. He was able to brag, but he was careless in fighting, but he was a mess in writing articles. Not to mention the difficult job of asking for a posthumous title for Yuan Shu, it was not a practical task to him to make the words clear and elegant.

It's a pen.

Without saying a word, Sun Ce turned around and went out again, heading straight to Cai Yong's residence. Cai Yong was getting dressed and preparing to return to Nanyang. Nanyang has a daughter and a prospective son-in-law, and there is not even a person to talk here. He doesn't want to stay for a day.

When Sun Ce's future intentions were mentioned, Cai Yong was also in a little trouble.

Writing such articles is not just about literary talent. You also need to be proficient in Confucian classics and use the meaning of the sages to prove your own legitimacy, be eloquent, or even sophistry. It is much more difficult than writing a few inscriptions with your eyes open. If you accidentally catch a flaw and want to ask for something, you will cause trouble. Last time, Feng Fang failed to get benefits for Yuan Shu, but instead attracted two armies, which is the most typical example.

"Bofu, it's not that I refuse to write, it's because I'm not good at such articles."

Sun Ce was a little dumbfounded. If Cai Yong was not good at it, who was good at it? "That's not OK. If you don't solve this matter, you will not be allowed to leave. I will detain you here for two years. When you return to Nanyang, you will just hold your grandson."

Cai Yong glared at Sun Ce in anger. "Gongjin is not you, you can't do such a thing." He stroked his beard and pondered for a moment. "I have two students who can do this, but one may not be willing to come, and the other may come, but his character... I really don't want to recommend it to you."

"Who?"

"One is called Ruan Yu and the other is called Lu Cui, both of them are from Chenliu."

Sun Ce said oh, but he understood Cai Yong's difficulties. Ruan Yu was a talented man among the seven sons of Jian'an, but he was a little arrogant. Legend has it that Cao Cao summoned him to be an official, but he refused to go, so he fled to the mountains and staged a drama of burning mountains to seek talent before forcing him out. Even so, he still did not contribute his strength. Until Cao Cao's general situation was completed, he accepted his fate.

As for Lu Cui, his reputation in history is not obvious, and many people don’t know him, but those who have actually read history books know him. He belongs to the type of people who are talented but not virtuous and are deliberately ignored by historians. Kong Rong’s killing is directly related to Lu Cui.

"Runan is so big, isn't there no suitable person?"

"Yes, but they don't want to come."

When Sun Ce saw Cai Yong's joking eyes, he couldn't help but clench his fists. This old man is not kind, he just picks the pain points. Yes, there are many famous scholars in Ruying, but he doesn't want to be a bird. He can grab the land and money, but he can't grab people. If someone robs him, he eats for nothing and doesn't work. What's the point?

Where is my Zhang Hong? I am in a difficult country and have a good general. My family is poor and I miss my good wife. Sun Ce began to miss the civil servants and counselors on his original life trajectory. Zhang Hong is undoubtedly the most suitable person to do this job, but others are in Guangling. Even if they send people to find him, it may not be too late. The distance water cannot quench the near thirst.

"Can Luci come?"

"If I write to him, it's possible."

"Then you write two letters and I will send someone to invite them. It's better if you can come. If you don't want to come, you will lose it. Anyway, there will be no loss." Sun Ce gritted his teeth. "If one can come, I can respond first."

"This is not an emergency. No one wants to come and go when he is called, let alone people like Luci. It would be fine if they don't deal with him. If he hurts his face, he may become enemies."

Sun Ce was so amused that he was worried and weighed again and again. "You let him do it, the pen is in his hand, but the knife is in my hand. Besides, those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Maybe I can influence him and let him walk onto the Avenue of Light."

Cai Yong didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly felt that Sun Ce was lying in self-deception. Sun Ce suddenly laughed, laughed at himself, and was confused. I was not a good person, and I was like alike, so maybe I could have a good conversation with Lu Cui. Cai Yong was a good person, and the question was what he could do.

Seeing that Sun Ce had made up his mind, Cai Yong did not refuse and immediately wrote two letters to Ruan Yu and Lu Cui. Sun Ce arranged for someone to rush to Chenliu with Cai Yong's handwritten letter. Cai Yong decided to stay in Ruyang for a few more days. Chenliu was very close to Runan, about 300 miles away. He was fast and he could get news in five or six days.

Ruan Yu, Lu Cui had no news yet, and the news from Luoyang arrived first. At Pang Tong's suggestion, Zhu Yan reluctantly agreed to Sun Jian's request and ordered Sun Ce to act as the governor of Yuzhou, and to cooperate with Lujiang and Jiujiang counties to organize food and grass to prepare for the war.
