The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 300 Spring and Autumn Grass and Trees, No Harvest!
Since there is no chance of winning the martial arts competition, will the literary test be started next?
When it comes to martial arts competitions, the younger generation, young and Xu, can win with just one Huang Xu.

However, the other side seems to have never had any amazingly talented young staff except Zhuge Liang and other well-known old-fashioned advisers.

Maybe we can win this battle!

As Xi Yu and Sun Ce walked up to the high stage step by step, the banquet was about to begin.

The seats extend from the hall to the stairs, from top to bottom, corresponding to the official positions of the civil and military officials in Jiangdong.

It is said that these literati always like to hug each other to keep warm, including each clan has a certain small group.

Now, before they were seated, everyone looked at each other and began to whisper.

As for the leaders, Sun Bofu and Xi Yu, they had already passed the greetings, and when they were acting, they smiled at each other and sat down slowly.

It was said that Xi Yu was only here as a guest in Jiangdong, but Sun Ce still prepared for him the same high position as himself, except that one was on the right and the other was on the left.

The officials who followed behind them also took their seats.

Guo Jia sat on the first seat on Xi Yu's right, and the one sitting opposite him was Lu Su whom he had just met a while ago.

The two looked into the distance, arched their hands at the same time, smiled, and seemed to have a good relationship.

But other than him, the others had solemn expressions, and they seemed to be fighting each other.

Xi Yu just took a look at it, and he knew it clearly.

It seems that today's banquet may not be without swords and swords...
"Feast!"

Sun Ce, who no longer knew what to do with Xi Yu, saw that everyone was here, and decided to order people to serve.

Accompanied by the appearance of tables and tables of delicacies, batches of dancers with light bodies and different expressions were ushered in in the center of the hall.

Many officials stood up together at this moment, congratulating and wishing, and the banquet officially started after the sound of mountains and tsunami sounded.

The musicians only started playing after Xi Yu and Sun Ce raised their hands to appease everyone.

The musicians play the zither and the sheng, and the dancers dance as if they are startled.

For a moment, the tense situation seemed to disappear, and the atmosphere became quite harmonious.

Regardless of whether they are ministers or generals, they all work in their own camps, whispering to each other and laughing constantly.

Among them, the Yu family, the Lu family, and the Lu family are the most prestigious in the Jiangdong clan.

As the host, coupled with the fact that his status was far inferior to Xi Yu's, and the chief executive was only a lord, no one dared to be negligent. On the contrary, it seemed that the whole banquet was very lively.

As Marquis of Wu, Sun Ce didn't dare to slack off. There was nothing else to do at the banquet other than dragging Xi Yu to chat.

After a while, he managed to find a topic with nutritious value and started to discuss with Xi Yu.

"It is said that Duke Sheng has boundless military strength. He was able to conquer General Wenyuan back then because of his good martial arts. He rode thousands of miles alone and killed Lu Bu to the death. In the end, he was superior and killed him. He hung his head on the city wall. Show it to the public, can there be such a thing?"

Seeing Xi Yu's slightly flushed cheeks and his slightly confused extension, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel complacent.

He thought that Xi Yu couldn't drink enough, but he didn't know...some people are like this.

As soon as he drank, he got up on his head, his face turned red, and his body would sway uncontrollably from side to side, as if he was about to fall down, but he just wouldn't fall down, and his mind was as clear as ever.

Even if you were persuading him to drink, and you even drank a few big bowls with yourself, making you slightly drunk, the other party is still in the same state as when he just drank.

When you feel that you are not strong enough to drink, or you have already fallen on the table, or you are about to go crazy with alcohol, the other party still has blurred eyes as always, shaking left and right, but just won't fall.

At most, at the most, I will laugh unconsciously when I look at you drunk and crazy.

Unfortunately, Xi Yu falls into this category of people.

Although his drinking is on his face, it is obviously not such a simple matter to get drunk.

What's more, compared with the Erguotou of later generations, the alcohol content brewed from these grains is not high at present.

Especially in Jiangdong, a place where you and I are gentle and soft like jade, even ordinary women in the north will drink their drinks without much drunkenness.

Therefore, Sun Ce, who thought that he would drink the opponent down easily, took it for granted.

When he realized that many people below were starting to look at him because of Sun Ce's words, Xi Yu smiled, very happily.

"It is said that Jiangdong is full of talented people. Confucian clans and even generals are in full bloom. Compared with other places, it is not inferior."

"Among them, Yu Fan, Lu Xun, Lu Su and the clans behind them are the ones with outstanding literary talents. As for the generals... Although Lu Meng, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and others are old, they are all unworthy. A lot of talent!"

As soon as Xi Yu opened his mouth, there was no other sound in the whole banquet except for the soft and gentle music in his ears.

For a while, the empty hall and the melodious music made people feel happy and extremely comfortable.

Especially Sun Ce, who heard these words, suddenly felt an inexplicable pride in his heart.

Except for the many literati and contemporary talents snatched by Xi Yu in the first few years when he conquered the land of Wu, which made him feel a little helpless and stretched, he can be considered to have saved a little face in recent years.

It not only retained many talents in Jiangdong, but also attracted many people with lofty ideals from outside to join.

"As the saying goes, there is a river of spring water and a river of waves, and a mountain is higher than a mountain. The land of Jiangdong is full of talents, which is far beyond the comparison of other places!"

After all, he sighed and shook his head, but he never thought that the eyes of everyone around him widened in surprise.

The first half of the sentence is already good, and a simple sentence can make people feel a wonderful illusion.

But when they heard the second half of the sentence, all the Confucian scholars present were excited.

Even those generals who are not very interested in literature feel inexplicably excited and enthusiastic.

good words!Nice sentence!
I just don't know if this is a complete poem or a single solitary sentence.

Lu Su closed his eyes and pondered, every time he recalled this verse, his heart became clearer.

Isn't "one river of spring water and one river of waves" a true portrayal of Jiangdong Jian'an?
It is said that the Jian'an water system is well developed, this is no joke.

The water network in the Jiangdong area is dense and vertical, and it is a multi-layered defense system based on the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River: the Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Tongbai Mountain, and Dabie Mountains in the north; the sea in the east and south; the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Bashu and Jingchu in the west area.

In his mind, he thought of the blue sea and blue sky that can be seen everywhere every day, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and pleasant scenery. Just like this, it gave him a feeling of tranquility.

Add the second part of the sentence "A mountain is higher than a mountain", as Xi Yu said, there are not a few people with skills in this world, if they are really complacent because they have a little skill, they will be thrown away by others back.

Therefore, in order to make yourself better, only when you have a clear understanding of yourself, you can continue to enrich yourself!

And combining it with the previous sentence, isn't it talking about their current situation in Jiangdong?

Because living in a place where the scenery is like a picture scroll, the life is peaceful, no matter how big the ambitions and pursuits are in my heart, I will gradually lose myself because of the quiet and peaceful life.

At this time, it must be difficult for everyone to have a clear understanding of themselves, let alone continue to fulfill their ambitions.

Xi Yu's simple sentence explained their current situation in Jiangdong, it's really unbelievable!

This sentence can be regarded as a warning to the world by everyone, telling everyone that even if they live in a peaceful area, they must not forget their original intentions.

Otherwise, once a war breaks out, these peaceful and peaceful lives will be destroyed in an instant and become a purgatory.

"I don't know if you all know, since ancient times, why do so many literati love to miss autumn? And why do Confucian scholars and sages often yearn for late spring?"

Xi Yu asked this question very abruptly and quite strangely.

Before today, Guo Jia had never heard of this matter, and now he looked dazed, let alone Lu Su and others.

As for Zhang Zhao, although his status is higher than that of Lu Su, but because Lu Su was the guest who went to Xiapi before, and he is more familiar with the people in the north who went to Jiangdong this time, he arranged the seat of the first counselor instead. Gave it to the other party.

This may have something to do with Lu Su's own efforts to promote the marriage of the two parties.

Seeing that the scene became more and more quiet, Zhang Zhao stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "Late autumn is the harvest season, and the people harvesting food means that they will not starve to death in winter."

"And late spring is the recovery of the earth and the awakening of all things. When the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, it is the starting point of life. In addition, the weather is cool and suitable for going out, so it becomes the most beloved season."

"With surplus food in hand, even if the world is in chaos, the common people will not be too panicked, and in the spring, planting food can be regarded as a new life for everyone!"

"The season that can bring harvest and new life to people all over the world is naturally loved by scholars all over the world."

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard lightly, with a smile on his face. Although he was old, he was full of energy and radiant, giving him the feeling of an extraterrestrial superior.

In history, he was the one who allowed Sun Ce to be alone before his death, and was responsible for handling government affairs for Sun Quan, leading a group of officials to help establish a new leader, appease the people, crusade against the rebels, and assist Sun Quan to stabilize the situation with Zhou Yu. His ability is beyond words And metaphor.

If not, Sun Quan would not have left Zhang Zhao to guard the rear and lead the affairs of the shogunate every time he went on an expedition, and he was honored as "Zhang Gong" later.

After hearing his words, everyone around showed a look of enlightenment, but Xi Yu couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Zhang's words are reasonable, but they are too one-sided. You need to know...the grass and trees are sentimental, and the spring and autumn are full of tears!"

He spoke seriously, with deep meaning in his words.

The people present were naturally not fools, and they understood what he meant after a little thought.

In the eyes of most people in the world, autumn is not only a harvest season, but also a bleak season. Apart from the feelings of the people in the world, poets pay more attention to their own emotional sustenance.

There is a sad and chilling atmosphere in autumn, which can better set off the author's sadness and boredom!

The same is true for spring. The poet likes spring in addition to being affected by the natural climate, and believes that spring also represents planting, hope, youth, and life, and it also naturally contains the poet's emotional connotation.

"Poets express their sentimental feelings by describing the seasonal changes and typical scenery in spring and autumn. This is a unique cultural behavior of a group of literary giants, but it has nothing to do with you!"

"To be precise, it has nothing to do with everyone present!"

"Because the poet can still take advantage of the change of spring and autumn, when the changes are obvious, take time out, take advantage of his spare time, relax his emotions, release himself, look at the surrounding mountains and rivers, and the beautiful scenery, can you wait... "

"How many years have you not felt lazy, comfortable and comfortable?"

"Being able to relax your mind and relieve your inner emotions in your spare time seems to have nothing to do with everyone, but in Qingxu... it's nothing more than a simple thing!"

"I think Mr. Zhang understands this better."

At the end of the fight, Xi Yu fixed his eyes on Zhang Zhao, and the other party's complexion became extremely ugly the moment he finished speaking.

Talking about age changes, and asking about mentality issues, it turns out that the ultimate goal is all here.

Now that the vernal equinox has just passed, and the grain is still sprouting in the soil, the other party mentioned the harvest and new life at this time, I am afraid that the ulterior motives are not drinking.

It's a pity that I don't understand the purpose of the other party's doing so.

"I don't know who can spend their days leisurely in Jiangdong's year of no harvest?"

Xi Yu didn't bother to go around in circles anymore. Anyway, everyone present was able to speak in Jiangdong territory. He was still hiding it at this time, so it was more or less unnecessary.

It's better to put the words on the bright side and discuss it. After this problem is resolved, Sun Shangxiang can leave Jiangdong and return to Xiapi with himself to take care of one or two.

As a result, he and Jiangdong's Sun Ce brothers will become good masters and servants.

In the future, the Jiangdong Sun family will be the largest clan under him.

At that time, the two brothers had no other choice but to cling to Xi Yu.

When Jiangdong is taken, this half of the world can be regarded as unified and completely stable.

"There is no harvest? I don't know what Sheng Guogong means by these words? Could it be that there is something wrong with the grain grown in Jiangdong?"

When faced with the issue of food, even a prudent person like Zhang Zhao couldn't help but change his face, and looked at Xi Yu in surprise.

"inevitable!"

"Why is this?"

You know, the spring plowing had just ended, and as the head of Jiangdong's civil servants, he, together with Lu Su, bought a large amount of seeds from Xiapi and sprinkled them all into the soil in the entire Jiangdong territory.

Now is the time to wait for the seeds to take root and germinate, so how can there be any problems?
Regardless of whether it is wheat, rice or other crops, it takes time to germinate in the soil. Xi Yu only came today, so how did he see that there is a problem with the food from the endless "empty fields"?
Could it be that he did this on purpose, to scare people?

Sun Ce took a sip of his drink, suppressed the trembling in Cai's heart, and a calm look appeared on his face again.

The slightly raised corners of his mouth let those who know him know that he is quite proud at this moment, perhaps because he has seen the secret hidden behind Xi Yu's remarks.

Negotiations between the two sides, attacking the heart first!
The other party just wanted to confuse the civil and military officials in Jiangdong by saying some alarmist words. They panicked and really thought that there would be problems with the food planted in the soil.

As a result, they lose their original advantages in the negotiation, and then give up some of their own due benefits.

During the negotiation, he didn't even dare to say what he really thought. Wouldn't it just be cheap for Xi Yu, so that Qing and Xu could take advantage of it?

"Sheng Guogong, this is a bit exaggerated, right? The food in my Jiangdong territory is all planted by the soldiers and civilians working together during spring plowing, leaving early and returning late, and planting with all the strength of the whole territory. There will never be any problems!"

"My Sun Bofu may be physically disabled, but in terms of governance, although I can't guarantee how wise and powerful I am, I still have some confidence in the end. There will be no mistakes in the matter of spring plowing!"

Seeing Sun Ce's swear words, Zhang Zhao and Lu Su, who were still a little flustered, breathed a sigh of relief.

But after hearing this, Xi Yu showed a surprised expression, looked at the other party and said bluntly: "Why? Don't you think I'm talking nonsense?"

"Huh...nonsense? What does this mean?"

Sun Ce and Zhang Zhao looked at each other, and their brains that were down did not react for a while.

The word "nonsense" began after the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which means that the people of the Central Plains could not understand what the Hu people said.

And Hu is the name given to the ethnic minorities in the Northwest in ancient times.

But at present, in order to be popularized, those who have heard of this word are a little confused.

Of course, even if they knew the meaning of these two words, they would be surprised if they thought about it.

Who would have imagined that a dignified Duke of the State of Sheng, a Confucian scholar, would open his mouth so bluntly?
Although it is not considered vulgar words, even a young general who is not very literate in the army would not say such words.

Doesn't this make you look uneducated?

"Nonsense is to say that everything I say is true, and none of it is alarmist. It depends on whether you believe it or not!"

"You need to know where your food seeds come from..."

"Where do the grains come from? Don't they all come from your Xia Pila—"

etc!Xiapi! ?

Sun Ce's disapproving face froze, I... this, I... I really deserve to be damned!
"Sheng Guogong, what exactly do you want to say? What did you do?"

With a faint bad feeling in his heart, Sun Ce stood up abruptly, extremely agitated.

Seeing this, Xi Yu raised his hand, motioned him to be quiet, and then smiled and said, "Bo Fu, don't be in a hurry, lest you lose your etiquette and sense of propriety. I have already told you about the seed problem. Take preventive or remedial measures early. How much will Jiangdong do this year?" There will still be some good harvests!"

"Isn't it better than you discovering it yourself a few months later? You know, at that time, Jiangdong might be caught in a huge storm of no food to eat!"

"It should be noted...the grains have been stir-fried before being sold into Jiangdong, and they are cooked seeds!"

"As a businessman, I will definitely not do such absurd things as cheating and shoddy, so I will send someone to hand over the grain that I sold to Jiangdong earlier, and I will compensate you all!"
