After Zhou Yi arrived in Wancheng, Sun Ce quickly met him and took the initiative to visit his residence.

Zhou Yu was in Jingzhou for several years and had never bought a property. He either lived in a public hall or a military camp. Now his headquarters is in Yiling, and when he returned to Wancheng, he lived in an inn. It was relatively simple to live by himself, but he could not be too casual in his wedding, so he bought a house. It was not very big, but it was very delicate and cleaned. Cai Yan came to see it in person and was very satisfied.

Sun Ce was very respectful. He asked Zhou Yi for the situation in Luoyang by his son's visit to him and asked Yang Biao's performance when he passed by Luoyang. Zhou Yi said it truthfully and took the initiative to show that he was old and weak and could not afford such a heavy task as Henan Yin. After attending Zhou Yu's wedding this time, he wanted to retire. Before leaving Luoyang, he had already submitted his resignation to the court, and all the official seals were sealed in Luoyang.

Sun Ce happily agreed. Of course it was impossible to retire, but Zhou Yi voluntarily resigned as Henan Yin, indicating that he had made a choice to draw a clear line with the court. The Zhou family in Lujiang was divided into two from then on, and he and Zhou Zhong were their masters and did not interfere with each other.

Shortly after Zhou Yi arrived, Cai Yong also arrived in Wancheng. In order to show respect for his teachers and respect the way, Sun Ce personally went out of the city to greet him. Cai Yong came by boat and went up the clear water. It was both stable and comfortable, much more comfortable than taking a car, and it also facilitated him to read and write.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Cai Yong's complexion was very good, and the traces left by the ten years of storms in the world were almost impossible to see. He was surrounded by two scholars, one in his early thirties and the other in his twenty years. He wore a Jinxian crown and a Confucian shirt. He looked gentle and elegant. Sun Ce didn't care much. Xiangyang Academy is now full of talents and is better than Nanyang County School. With Cai Yong's reputation, it is normal to have a few successful disciples.

However, after these two people signed up, Sun Ce realized that it was not normal. These two people were not others, Lu Cui and Ruan Yu who had rejected his invitation. After hearing the names of these two people, Sun Ce stared at them for a while, and then smiled. He didn't say a word, but his contempt was unconcealed, and even the blind man could see it.

Ruan Lu and the other two were very embarrassed, and Cai Yong was also very embarrassed. There were so many people in Xiangyang Academy, and he brought these two people to introduce them to Sun Ce. Now that Sun Ce is so unpretentious, he is a little embarrassed.

"General Sun..."

"Sir, don't be so polite." Sun Ce held Cai Yong's arm and said politely: "I am good brothers and I, and I are like brothers and sisters with Ling Ai. If you don't abandon me, just call me."

Cai Yong breathed a sigh of relief and his face calmed down. "Yuan Yu and Wen Mok are both scholars and are not familiar with the world. Don't be as knowledgeable as them."

Sun Ce looked at Cai Yong and laughed: "Don't worry, sir, I won't be as knowledgeable as them. They didn't come, not because they didn't give me face, but because they didn't give me face. Now they are here. Since sir is magnanimous and doesn't care about them, why should I be angry? It's not worth it."

Cai Yong was speechless and didn't know how to say it. Ruan Yu, Lu Cui came to Xiangyang to find him, of course, not only wanted to follow him to compile a book, but wanted to recommend him to serve as an official under Sun Ce. Now when we meet, Sun Ce blocked his words and treated them as nothing and had no intention of recruiting them. How can we continue to say this?

Seeing that Cai Yong and Sun Ce had an unpleasant conversation, Cai Yan came over and said with a smile: "General, this is the helper I invited."

Sun Ce looked at Cai Yan and grinned. "Very good, these two young and strong, and they should be fine if they go to the Western Regions and Tianzhu."

"Western Regions? Tianzhu?" Lu Cui's face suddenly turned pale and he blinked at Cai Yong desperately. Cai Yong was also confused. He didn't know what was going on. It sounded like Sun Ce was holding a grudge and wanted to exile them thousands of miles away. Cai Yong hurriedly asked Cai Yan what was going on. Cai Yan smiled and told her about Sun Ce's writings. Cai Yong was relieved. Although Tianzhu, although the Western Regions were farther away, it was a study tour, not an exile. As a scholar, although it was harder to study thousands of miles, as long as you gain something, it was not unacceptable.

Seeing that Cai Yong had an agreement between his words, Ruan Yu and Lu Cui were very desperate and regretted it. In the West, it was hopeless to listen to it.

Sun Ce was not interested in caring about them at all. He invited Cai Yong into the car, and Cai Yan also got on the car. Zhou Yu rode his horse with the carriage. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu through the window, then looked at Cai Yong, and joked: "Sir, what do you think of this son-in-law?"

"Yeah, not bad, not bad." Cai Yong stroked his beard, very satisfied, and his old face smiled like a flower.

"Then why are you going to thank me?" Sun Ce raised his legs and hugged his knees. "I have made contributions to this matter, you have to admit it, right?"

"If you have any requests, just say it. There is no need to turn around." Cai Yong snorted: "Don't use my daughter or son-in-law to tell me."

Sun Ce laughed. "Then I'll just say it. You should have read Li Ru's article "Personal Experience of the Ji Si Rebellion". His article is well written, but he is Dong Zhuo's old subordinate, and his reputation as a scholar cannot be compared with that of you. He is not very clear about some things, and his persuasiveness is far from enough. I want to leave a relatively complete record for future generations. Can you take on this responsibility and write a few articles?"

Cai Yong's face changed slightly, his eyelids drooped, and he remained silent. Cai Yan was about to speak, but Sun Ce shook his head calmly. Cai Yan understood and swallowed the words to his mouth again, but he used his eyes to ask Sun Ce not to force him too much and give Cai Yong some face. Sun Ce nodded and reassured Cai Yan. What he wanted Cai Yong to take on this task, not to embarrass Cai Yong. The force was too tight, even if Cai Yong had no choice but to make it difficult, and he could not do anything about it. He needed Cai Yong to realize the meaning of this matter and take the initiative to write the truth of the whole matter.

This matter not only involves the evaluation of Yuan Shao, Wang Yun and others, but also arguing for Dong Zhuo, but also involves the dispute between civil and military. If this issue is not handled well, and the Confucian scholars' contempt for martial artists, it will always be a temporary opportunity to reiterate the style of martial arts, and it will never be truly implemented.

"Sir, I am not trying to cover up my mistakes for Dong Zhuo's performance. I just want the world to know the truth. Only by knowing the truth can we attract lessons from it and avoid repeating the same mistakes. Without this courage..."

"General." Cai Yong raised his head and interrupted Sun Ce. "In the future, you will also leave your name in history. Would you like the historian to write down all the things you did?"
