Since there is no chance of winning in the martial arts competition, will the literary test begin next?

When it comes to martial arts competitions, among the younger generation, only Huang Xu from Qingxu and Qingxu can win.

However, apart from Zhuge Liang and other well-known veteran counselors, the other party does not seem to have any young and talented advisers.

Maybe we can win this battle!

As Xi Yu and Sun Ce walked up to the high platform step by step, the banquet was almost 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 have always liked to stick together to keep warm, and every clan has its own small group.

Now, before they even took their seats, everyone looked at each other and started whispering to each other.

As for the leaders, Sun Boxu and Xi Yu, they had already stopped exchanging greetings. When they were having fun, they smiled at each other and sat down slowly.

It is said that Xi Yu only came to Jiangdong as a guest, but Sun Ce still prepared for him a seat of honor as high as his own, but one was to the right and the other to the left.

The officials who followed them also took their seats.

Guo Jia sat in the first seat on the right side of Xi Yu. As for the person sitting opposite him, it was Lu Su whom he had just met some time ago.

The two looked at each other from a distance, cupped their hands at the same time, and smiled. They seemed to have a good relationship.

But except for him, everyone else looked solemn and seemed to be somewhat competitive.

Xi Yu just took a closer look and understood it clearly.

It seems that today’s banquet will probably involve the flash of swords and shadows...

"Have a banquet!"

Sun Ce, who no longer knew what to do with General Yu, decided to order someone to serve the food as soon as he saw everyone had arrived.

Along with the appearance of tables of delicious food, groups of dancing girls with light bodies and different expressions also came to the center of the hall.

At this moment, many officials stood up together to congratulate and give blessings. After the roar of the mountain and the tsunami sounded, the banquet officially began.

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

The musicians played the harps and sheng, and the dancers danced like giants.

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

Regardless of whether they were ministers or generals, they were all on their own, whispering to each other and laughing constantly.

Among them, the Yu family, headed by the Lu family and the Lu family, are undoubtedly the most prestigious among the Jiangdong clan.

As the host, and because his status was far inferior to that of Xi Yu, and the highest officer was just a marquis, no one dared to neglect him. On the contrary, the whole banquet seemed lively and lively with people drinking and drinking.

As the Marquis of Wu, Sun Ce did not dare to slack off. Apart from holding Xi Yu in conversation, there was nothing else to do at the banquet.

After a while, he finally found a nutritious topic and began to discuss it with Xi Yu.

"It is said that Duke Sheng Guo's military power is boundless. He was able to conquer General Wenyuan because of his good martial arts. He rode alone for thousands of miles and fought to the death with Lu Bu. In the end, he was superior in skill and killed him and hung his head on the city wall.

Is it possible to show this to the public?"

Looking at Xi Yu's slightly red cheeks and slightly confused extension, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel complacent.

He thought Xiyu couldn't drink enough, but he didn't know...some people were like that.

When he drinks, he gets sick, his face turns red, and his body swings uncontrollably from side to side, as if he is about to fall over, but he just won't fall over, and his mind is as clear as ever.

Even if you are trying to persuade him to drink, and even if you drink a few large bowls with him, and you are slightly drunk, the other person will still be in the same state as when he first drank.

When you feel that you are not strong enough to drink, or you have already crawled down on the table, or you are about to get drunk, the other person will still have the same blurred eyes as before, swaying left and right, but he will not fall.

At most, I will laugh unconsciously when I see you drunk and crazy.

Unfortunately, Xiyu falls into this category of people.

Although it hurts his face when he drinks, it is obviously not that simple to get drunk.

What's more, compared with the Erguotou of later generations, the alcohol content of these grain-based brews is not high.

Especially in Jiangdong, a place where everyone is friendly and gentle as jade, the wine can be drunk by an ordinary woman from the north, and she will not be too drunk.

Therefore, Sun Ce, who thought he could easily drink the opponent down, was taking it for granted.

When he realized that many people below him were looking at him because of Sun Ce's words, Xi Yu smiled, especially happily.

"It is said that there are many talented people in Jiangdong. Confucian clans and even military generals are in full bloom. It is no less than other places."

"Among them, the ones with outstanding literary talent are undoubtedly Yu Fan, Lu Xun, Lu Su and the clans behind them. As for the military generals... Lu Meng, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and others are already old, but they are all incomparable

So much talent!”

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

For a time, the empty hall and the sweet music made people feel happy and comfortable.

Especially when Sun Ce heard these words, he felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.

Except for the years when he first conquered Wu, many men of letters and contemporary talents were snatched away by Xi Yu, making him a little helpless and stretched thin. However, he has saved some face in recent years.

Not only has it retained many talents within Jiangdong, but it has also attracted many people with lofty ideals to join from outside.

"As the saying goes, a river has spring water and a river has waves, and every mountain is higher than the other. The land of Jiangdong is rich in talents, far beyond what other places can match!"

After saying that, he sighed and shook his head, but he never thought that everyone around him would open their eyes in surprise.

The first half of the sentence is already impressive. A simple sentence can evoke a wonderful illusion in people's minds.

But when they heard the second half of the sentence, every Confucian scholar present became excited.

Even those generals who were not very interested in literature felt inexplicably excited and enthusiastic.

Good words! Good sentences!

I just don't know if this is a complete poem or a single sentence.

Lu Su closed his eyes and meditated. Every time he recalled this poem, his heart became more and more clear.

Isn't this a true portrayal of Jiangdong Jian'an?

It is said that Jian'an has a developed water system. This is no longer a joke.

The water network in the Jiangdong area is densely crisscrossed and is a multi-layered defense system relying on the Yangtze River and Huaihe River: in the north are the Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Tongbai Mountain, and Dabie Mountain; in the east and south are the sea; in the west are the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Bashu and Jingchu

area.

He thought about the blue sea, blue sky, beautiful mountains and clear water, and pleasant scenery that can be seen everywhere every day. Just like this, it gave him a feeling of peace and tranquility.

Coupled with the second half of the sentence "A mountain is higher than a mountain", as Xi Yu said, there are not a few capable people in this world. If they are really complacent because they have a little ability, they will definitely be thrown away by others.

back.

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

And combining it with the previous sentence, doesn't it describe the current situation in Jiangdong?

Because we live in a place where the scenery is like a picture scroll and we live peacefully, no matter how big our ambitions or pursuits are, we will gradually lose ourselves 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 achieve their ambitions.

Xi Yu's simple words revealed their current situation in Jiangdong. It's really incredible!

This sentence can be regarded as a warning by everyone, telling everyone that even if they live in a peaceful area, they must never forget their original intentions.

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

"I wonder if you know why so many literati have loved to miss autumn since ancient times? And why do Confucian scholars and saints always admire late spring?"

Xi Yu's question was very abrupt and quite strange.

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

As for Zhang Zhao, although his status was higher than that of Lu Su, because it was Lu Su who went to Xiapi as a guest before, he was more familiar with the people in the north who were going to Jiangdong this time, so he arranged the seat for the first counselor.

Gave it to the other party.

This may have something to do with the fact that Lu Su single-handedly promoted the marriage between the two parties.

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

"And late spring is when the earth revives, everything wakes up, and when flowers bloom, it is the starting point of life. In addition, the weather is cool and suitable for going out, so it has become the most favorite season."

"With surplus food in hand, even if the world is in chaos, the people will not panic too much. Planting food in the spring can be regarded as a new life for everyone!"

"A season that can bring harvest and rebirth to people all over the world is naturally loved by literati and writers all over the world."

Zhang Zhao gently stroked his beard and smiled. Although he was old, he was full of energy and high spirits, and he felt a bit like an outsider.

Historically, he was a person who allowed Sun Ce to leave him alone before his death. He was responsible for handling government affairs for Sun Quan, leading a group of officials to help establish a new leader, appeasing the people, defeating the rebels, and assisting Sun Quan to stabilize the situation with Zhou Yu and others. His abilities are beyond words.

And metaphor.

Otherwise, Sun Quan would not have left Zhang Zhao to guard the rear and take charge of the shogunate affairs every time he went on an expedition. Later, he was even honored as "Zhang Gong".

After hearing his words, everyone around him showed expressions of sudden realization, but Xi Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"What Mr. Zhang said is reasonable, but it is too one-sided. You need to know... plants and trees have feelings, and spring and autumn are filled with tears!"
