Sun Ce looked at Huang Chengyan who was slowly walking and smiled without saying a word. What is the way of a saint who is looking for drawings to build a keel chariot? Your saint's way is to do one thing. However, he likes to see these famous scholars show off the most because he is better at this method.

Sure enough, seeing Sun Ce laughing ambiguously, Huang Chengyan was also a little embarrassed.

"General, don't you invite me to sit?"

"Miss Achu, why don't you pour your dad a glass of water and then massage your back. Your dad has been running outside these two days, and he has worked hard without any credit."

When Huang Yueying heard this, she obediently poured a cup for Huang Chengyan, then knelt behind Huang Chengyan, pinched her fist and beat her back. Huang Chengyan sighed, then realized that something was in Sun Ce's words, and quickly stroked her beard and smiled. "It's too arbitrary for the general to say this. Although I have no great achievements, I still have some minor achievements. At least Cai Zhou is safe and sound now, and no one comes to attack the general."

"Is that true?" Sun Ce glanced at Huang Chengyan with a smile.

"Isn't it?"

"If all the families acted as if they shared the same hatred against the enemy, came to seize Caizhou, or negotiated with me, you would be considered a merit. Now, they all remained silent, like a mess, turning a blind eye to the experience of the Cai family and the Kuai family, and did not even realize that the war was right in front of them. What contribution would you have?"

"General..."

Sun Ce raised his hand and signaled. "Don't worry, say it slowly."

Huang Chengyan opened his mouth, and finally closed his mouth, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.

Sun Ce looked at him, tilted his mouth, put away his smile, and said lightly: "I'm right?"

Huang Chengyan sighed: "The general is like seeing him in person."

"Now I know why I asked you to go?" Sun Ce raised his water cup and signaled to Huang Chengyan. "Although there are many people in the world, there are very few people who can be as far-scheming as you and can take the overall situation into consideration. No matter how much you read, they are still chickens eating in the grass. They only see the seeds and insects in front of them. Few people can look up and see if there is any danger to approach. When the disaster comes, they will panic and bend over and kill."

Huang Chengyan shook his head with a wry smile. "The general is old and has a sharp eye. How dare I look at the general's back? I can't do it either."

"You are too humble. If you are such a person, will I let you sit here?" Sun Ce laughed silently. "Achu is a smart child, unique, and knows his father by looking at his daughter. You are also an outstanding wise man. It's a pity to be alone. For Achu, the people of Jingxiang, and the people of the world, come out and do something."

"Me?" Huang Chengyan was very surprised and felt that he had heard it wrong. He had just connected around and wanted to gather the powerful Jing Xiang to fight against Sun Ce, but Sun Ce wanted to ask him to do things? This was completely unreasonable. "General, Achu's mother, my wife, is the daughter of the Cai family."

"My brother's bride is also the daughter of the Cai family." Sun Ce smiled. "Don't worry, at least now, I don't mean to attack the Cai family. If you must be enemies with me, it's not too late for me to think about it. Anyway, the knife is in my hands, right?"

Facing Sun Ce who used both soft and hard, Huang Chengyan was speechless. At this moment, a personal guard hurried in and whispered a few words in Sun Ce's ear. Sun Ce nodded. When the personal guard came out of the hall, Sun Ce picked up the water cup again and raised it at the dazed Huang Chengyan.

"Now, we can go back to that topic. You said that making is the ultimate skill of a craftsman, and I don't agree with it. I have never read any books. I only know that people can not understand articles, but people must eat and dress. They have enough to know etiquette. This is pragmatic. Playing the piano with an empty stomach is OK for one day or two days, seven or eight days, even the disciples of the saints will complain. If a saint is just living in the book, he is only a saint of some people, not a saint of all people. If anyone can plant giant dates born in Anqi, or raise silkworms that sprout silk, so that the world will not be hungry and cold, even if he does not want to be a saint, the people will worship him as a saint."

Huang Chengyan was silent for a moment and had to nod in agreement. He understood what Sun Ce meant. The Yellow Turban rebelled because he had no clothes and no food. If this problem was not solved, no matter how many reasons were made, it would be useless. If Sun Ce did not solve it, there would be other people. Other methods would be more cruel than Sun Ce and the consequences would be even more serious. Not to mention that he failed to persuade the powerful people in Xiangyang to unite, even if he succeeded, it would be just a temporary solution and would not last long.

It is wise to weigh the pros and cons, both public and private, cooperate with Sun Ce. What's more, my daughter even brought the books she collected at home and has been by Sun Ce's side these two days. It can be seen that she has been moved by Sun Ce and is afraid that it is not easy to force her to separate.

Since that's the case, then take a try.

Huang Chengyan raised his head and bowed slightly to Sun Ce. "I'm used to being idle, and I'm afraid I can't help the general."

"Don't worry, you can think about it for a while. If you want, you can do me a favor now."

"What's up?"

"I want to invite you to my father's camp and congratulate him on my behalf."

"Congratulations?" Huang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood. "General Sun took down Fancheng?"

Sun Ce nodded, smiled and said nothing.

Huang Chengyan was stunned. Sun Ce was not excited at all when Sun Jian won such a big victory in Fancheng. Could it be that he would be a little excited if he had to take Xiangyang City? This is not a sixteen-year-old boy, he is simply a very cunning old man. Compared with him, Sun Fu was like an ignorant child.

It seems that Xiangyang cannot be preserved, and Jingzhou will sooner or later belong to the Sun family father and son.

Huang Chengyan bowed seriously to accept the order. "I can still do this little thing, so I will set off now."

——

Fancheng is filled with joy.

Sun Jian climbed the city tower and patrolled the whole city, with a relaxed expression and a bit proud. Today's war was very easy. When Huang Zhong led five warships to appear on the Mian River, cutting off the connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng, Fancheng had already lost its morale and was saved. Sun Ben and Huang Gai attacked at the same time, and took Fancheng in just half an hour, and Huang Zu captured him.

But what made Sun Jian most satisfied was not to take down Fancheng, but to the famous prince Pang De, who could not even invite Liu Biao, to his camp on his own initiative. This greatly satisfied his self-esteem. He specially asked Pang De to climb the city wall and walk side by side with him, so that the prisoners could see that Sun Jian was not a martial artist, but could also interact with famous scholars.

These are all the good luck brought to him by his son Sun Ce. First, the Zhou clan of Lujiang, now the Pang clan of Xiangyang, and Cai clan of Xiangyang. In the future, more famous scholars will appear in front of him. He no longer has to raise the sword in his hand to protect his dignity. Facing the powerful people around Yuan Shu, he doesn't have to feel ashamed of himself, so he can lift his chest up.

Just when Sun Jian was satisfied, he suddenly found that Pang Degong was a little distracted and did not talk to him, but stared at the outside of the city. He was embarrassed and was about to say something, Pang Degong pointed outside of the city and said, "General, that is Cai Feng's eldest son-in-law, Huang Chengyan, a famous Miannan scholar. It seems that he should have congratulated the general."
