Xu Chun was paralyzed. He no longer had the capital to bargain and could only be slaughtered.

Wei Teng was not interested in pleading for Xu Chun, but was a little touched by what Sun Ce said just now. He originally thought that Sun Ce was trying to seize the Xu family's property and land, but now he felt that it might not be the case. Sun Ce acquired a lot of land in Nanyang and Runan, but he didn't hear much rebound. Regardless of whether he intentionally designed to frame him or not, he became famous and did not lose his word.

He had a feeling that Sun Ce was saying these words to him. Xu Chun was already fish on the chopping table and it was not worth his explanation. Killing a chicken to warn the monkey, Xu Chun was at best the chicken, and he and the Kuaiji family were the monkey. In other words, if they were not as stupid as Xu Chun, Sun Ce was willing to cooperate with them and did not want both sides to suffer losses.

Sun Ce once said that he was willing to let him try to guard a county. He cooperated with Ge Sheng to recruit new recruits these days, and Sun Ce was basically satisfied. This time he went to Wu County to bring him with him, maybe he wanted to give him the opportunity to be a county magistrate.

He didn't want me to be the Wu Ling, right? Wei Teng was suddenly shocked. According to convention, Sun Ce was from Wu County and could not be the prefect of Wu County. Even if he took Wu County, he would arrange for others to be the prefect of Wu County, or to be the prefect of the county magistrate. Sun Ce had many warriors under his command, but not many could manage the government. After taking Danyang, he could only let Chen Dao, who was just in his early twenties, be the prefect. If he took Wu County, he would need a prefect of Wu County or the county magistrate. Sun Ce had a good relationship with Lu Kang and others, but Lu Kang and others were from Wu, and they could neither be the prefect of Wu County nor the county magistrate or the county magistrate. Only Wei Teng was suitable.

Wei Teng glanced at Sun Ce and happened to meet Sun Ce's gaze. Seeing the corner of Sun Ce's slightly raised mouth, Wei Teng knew that he had guessed. He was excited and then felt embarrassed again. Just a Wu Ling, the worst is the prefect of Wu County. Is it as if he is so excited?

Wei Teng adjusted his mood and said in a calm tone: "General, although you may have some differences in the House of Mansions, it is still impossible to determine whether the assassin was sent by Xu House of Mansions. Maybe it is just a misunderstanding. It is probably not good for you to send troops to attack Wu County because of this."

Sun Ce rolled his eyes and refused to comment. After a while, he said again: "Even if the assassin's matter is not yet finalized, then it is always true that he protects the Xu family? The Xu family colluded with bandits and wanted to be detrimental to me. I took Xu Chun down, and he actually sent someone to ask for it. What do he want to do?"

"It is understandable that the general is angry, but he will not send troops to attack. If this is spread, it will be unfavorable to the general's reputation."

Sun Ce laughed in his heart. Wei Teng's attitude was relaxed, which was a good start and should be encouraged. He wanted to take down Wujun, but he couldn't be in a hurry, especially when Taishi Ci was in Tongguan Mountain. Withdrawing from Tongguan Mountain was just a flick, and Zulang had to wait for the opportunity in the mountains. If Taishi Ci, Chen Bai and others wanted to come out to take back Yangxian, Zulang would take the opportunity to take their nest.

At this time, he needed to go to Wuxian alone to meet Xu Gong, and Wei Teng was a good candidate.

"What should I do if I think it should be done?"

"If there is a conflict, can we mediate it? If the general believes in me, I am willing to go to Wuxian to meet Xu Fujun to show the general's intentions."

Sun Ce pretended to be hesitant and pondered for a long time before nodding reluctantly. "Then I'll send you there myself. If Xu Gong is willing to reason, the gentleman will reason with him. If Xu Gong wants to use force, I will use force with him. First politeness and then military force, don't say that he is not prepared." He said hatefully: "I am also a reasoned person, so he should not force me to act cruelly."

Wei Teng suppressed his nausea and bowed to accept the order.

——

One day later, Sun Ce crossed Taihu Lake and set up camp at the foot of Dalei Mountain.

Wei Teng took a child to Wuxian on a small boat. He was very confident and calm, but Sun Ce was a little worried. He didn't know if Wei Teng could come back alive. Although Xu Gong came from the Xu family of Pingyu and was of the same clan as Xu Shao and Xu Jing, he was not Xu Shao. A scholar like Xu Jing who only talked, he was a ruthless person. He could kill Wei Teng with a disagreement. This would be no harm to him. If Xu Gong really wanted to kill Wei Teng, the Wei family would not hold the hatred on him. The reason for him to kill Xu Gong was more sufficient. Just killing someone with a knife would make his conscience a little painful.

Alas, I am kind, but the world is too chaotic.

"Brother Dezu, this is Dalei Mountain, and the one opposite is Xiaolei Mountain. Yes, if you look closely, you can see a little shadow. It is about 60 miles away." Shen You enthusiastically became a tour guide and introduced the scenery and long history of Taihu Lake to everyone. "Therefore, old legends, this is the place where Shun fished and hunted when he was avoiding Danzhu. This is much earlier than Taibo fled to Wu, and decades earlier than Dayu's control of the flood."

"Really or not?" Yang Xiu disagreed. "It's all a verbal legend, right?"

"What's wrong with the legend of oral ears? How to write the ancient saint's character "Saint"? The left ear and the right mouth are "The king below. You can't see such obvious evidence. It's not that I said you, Brother Dezu, you can guess riddles and don't understand the essence of the saint's character creation."

Sun Ce turned to look at Shen You. He was very similar to the heroes. However, Shen You just wanted to squeeze Yang Xiu and did not realize the secrets contained therein. Compared with archaeology that spoke with evidence in later generations, scholars of this era did not have the concept of archaeology. The books all said true. Even if the words were not created by Cangjie, they were created by a saint, and there was no such thing as slowly evolving. Therefore, for two thousand years, ancient history has been revolving around these classics with different opinions. The Han people were especially good at not only believing in the ancients, but also creating ancients. Many myths in later generations were created by the Han people.

For example, Pangu transforms the world.

Pangu was a great god that existed very early, but Pangu cultivated the world later, and the Three Kingdoms era was truly formed. In the minds of the intellectuals of this era, everything in the world was created by a certain god, and words were no exception. Of course, they did not believe that words had a slow evolution, nor did they believe that the Yao, Shun and Yu era they yearned for had no words, and they were really treated with knots.

Even the most learned ancient philologists of this era only knew bronze inscriptions and did not know oracle bone inscriptions. Bronze inscriptions can be seen on some ancient bronzes, and the oracle bones engraved with oracle bone inscriptions are still sleeping underground in Yin Ruins and will have to wait 1,800 years before they can emerge. Of course, they would not know other ways of recording besides ancient books, nor do they know the double evidence method, nor do they know the four-level evidence method, but the four-level evidence method is an important method of archaeology in the mythological era.

Sun Ce is not going to say this for the time being. He knows that his knowledge is average, so he can only be a guide, but he cannot be a master. The specific things are left to truly smart people. There is no need to do everything yourself, which makes himself very tired. He has already laid the foreshadowing, and it will naturally work when the time comes.

Yang Xiu suddenly said, "Zizheng, you are from Wuxian. Do you know what ancient jade is there in Wuxian?"

"Ancient jade? How ancient is it? Does it count when King Fuchai of Wu? If you want to see it, I..."

"What's the good thing about ancient jade in the Spring and Autumn Period? Didn't you say that Shun Yu Dan Zhu? I want to see the one from that era."
