"Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, to tell you the truth...Gong Jin told me that when a man is born in the world, he should hold a three-foot sword, have the world in his heart, and stand up in the troubled times with invincible merit!"

"It's just that we big men haven't had any major disasters in recent years. After the Huns in the north surrendered to us, we no longer kowtow to the side. I always feel that this goal can no longer be achieved..."

He muttered a few words to Zhang Yan in a low voice, Sun Ce was actually quite aggrieved.

It's not that he has no goals... In fact, with Sun Jian as an example, Sun Ce's goals are firmer and set earlier than most of the second-generation officials of the Han Dynasty.

It's just a matter of military merits and honors... Since the big man is not a Roman Empire that fights abroad 24 hours a day, in many cases, a general like him who is dedicated to making contributions to the country actually has no chance to show himself.

……

"I see."

……

After hearing Sun Ce's words, Zhang Yan nodded slightly, and then said softly:

"You don't have to think too much about it."

……

"Bo Fu, God will not leave opportunities to those who are unprepared. Now that you have defined your goals, you can focus more on these things in your life. What's the point of worrying about gains and losses all day long? "

"Do you know why you are better than me in the personal realm, but the result of the competition is that you lose to me?"

"It's because I am more attentive than you, and you put your energy on some irrelevant social activities!"

……

"Not to mention anything else, just the fact that you stand up for your brother... To put it bluntly, do people need you to stand up for him? Even if you want to talk about loyalty, that's not what loyalty is about!"

"True brotherhood is to always be able to stand up when the other party needs you, instead of always being on the sidelines to make a sense of presence when there is nothing to do."

"That's just drinking and meat friends!"

……

He spoke to Sun Ce earnestly. It wasn't that Zhang Yan said that the other party and Zhou Yu were friends with wine and meat...but that although the relationship between the two was very good, Sun Ce's attitude towards friends, or in this era, This kind of attitude of sticking knives at each other's ribs for brothers is itself somewhat deformed and pathological!

What is brotherhood?

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao went to snatch the marriage together and forcibly robbed the other party's unmarried wife. Is this called brotherly loyalty?

In order to have fun with Ji Kang and Ruan Ji, Cao Zhi ate five stone powder with them. Is this called brotherly loyalty?

In Water Margin, Wu Yong first framed Lu Junyi for rebellion with Tibetan acrostic poems, and then asked all "Liangshan heroes" to rob the court to save Lu Junyi. Is this called brotherhood?

Just call a fart!

This is clearly the favorite game of the underworld in southern Guangdong, and even in Fusang country!

Let Zhang Yan say that these so-called behaviors of standing up for brothers and maintaining consistency with the people around them are at best called mixing circles, and at worst they are forming cliques to engage in bullying ideas.

If you meet someone who is not as good as you, then naturally you beat the younger one to the older one, and the older one to the old one.

In the end, it is estimated that no one cares why there is a contradiction between the two.

And if you are unlucky and meet someone you can't afford...

If the other party is as easy to talk to as Zhang Yan, it can only be said to be Sun Ce's blessing.

If today, it was the second son of the Yuan family, or Cao Cao and others who robbed Zhou Yu's relative, then what is waiting for Sun Ce?

I'm afraid it's just that the family was ruined by these yamen after being forced to come out!

Don't look at Yuan Shao and the others who are easy to talk to, but if you offend them, they won't be so lazy to say a harsh word like Zhang Yan.

……

All in all, in Zhang Yan's mind, Sun Ce's attitude towards making friends is a bit pathological, even worse than what Yuan Shu said to Sun Jian later:

"I will take care of your wife, and you have nothing to worry about."

Anyway, they really helped Sun Jian solve his worries, didn't they?

It's just a pity that this somewhat deformed view of making friends has been passed down in China, and even in various countries in the world for many years. Even before Zhang Yan traveled through, some young people he came into contact with still had many people I am happy to practice this concept...

……

"Concentrate... this, okay."

"I see."

……

Holding the rein with one hand, Sun Ce touched his lips subconsciously with the other hand.

be attentive...

……

"That's why he signaled himself in this way, and even awakened himself?"

……

Sun Ce suddenly thought of something else.

At the very beginning, Sun Ce didn't know why Zhang Yan took the divorce as a bet with himself.

According to his understanding, it is nothing more than "equal conditions", or some additions proposed by the other party.

If you want to say that Zhang Yan is greedy for the body of his unmarried wife... Sun Ce actually doesn't believe it.

After all, according to the other party's status, what kind of good woman can't he find?I am afraid that even the daughters of princes, nobles and even the royal family, if he wants to marry, it is only a matter of one sentence!

Is this kind of person willing to use a knife and a gun for the daughter of a remote and ruined noble family and himself...

That is definitely not possible.

From this point of view, he must have thought too much before.

After what he said just now, Sun Ce suddenly had a sense of Zhang Yan's previous behavior.

That is the reason why the other party let me get in touch with the marriage contract. In fact, it is because I can see that my problem is not concentrating, so I use this method to let myself get rid of some irrelevant distracting thoughts and become concentrating!

He did it for his own good!

……

As for why it was a bet instead of telling Sun Ce directly... Sun Ce had already figured out the reason in his mind.

It must be because I was too arrogant before, and I didn't want to listen to people's words, so Sun Ce had no choice but to make such a bad move.

From this point of view, the other party can say that he has enlightened him!

……

"Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, today's teaching, you should be familiar with the strategy and reflect on it every day."

"I will never forget your kindness and kindness!"

……

"If you need me in the future, Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, you don't have to say it outright, I will definitely do my best to repay today's kindness!"

……

For some reason, in Zhang Yan's eyes, Sun Ce suddenly seemed to be a different person. He saluted himself very respectfully, and then left with Sun Jian.

It's just that before he had time to think about it, he saw a small figure standing under the shade of a tree by the side of the road, turning around and looking at him quietly from time to time.

Seeing that familiar figure, Zhang Yan couldn't help but subconsciously hook his mouth.

……

"So, you put in so much effort, and even fought with that stunned young man, just to get him to take the initiative to break his engagement with my sister?"

That night, in the Mansion of the Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, Qiao Ying asked him curiously while applying medicine to Zhang Yan who was pillowed on her lap.

……

"Of course!"

"This is a problem that Mr. Qiao has troubled for a long time. Now that I have solved this matter quietly, it can be regarded as fulfilling the other party's wish. At the same time, it has also solved a knot in my own heart."

"After all, I failed to arrive at Lujiang in time, which is why a series of things happened later..."

……

He said something like regret, but it was visible to the naked eye that Zhang Yan's expression at the moment was very happy, with an appearance of "you come and praise me".

If it weren't for the bruises all over his body at this moment, maybe this statement would be more believable.

……

"For father?"

"I think you are for my sister...or for yourself?"

Sighing lightly, Qiao Ying pursed her lips in displeasure while speaking in a low voice.

It's just that the way she applied the medicine became more and more gentle, which also made Zhang Yan feel that Qiao Ying's displeasure at the moment was not because of what she did for her sister, but simply because of the fact that she was injured in the competition with Sun Ce .

Although she didn't like Sun Ce very much, seeing the bruises on Zhang Yan's body, Qiaoying inevitably felt a little distressed.

After a while, she finished treating the bruises on Zhang Yan's chest and arms, and then signaled him to lie on her lap, and began to deal with the dark wounds on his back.

……

"Husband, if you ask me, you don't really like my sister, do you?"

Talking to Zhang Yan with some resentment, Zhang Yan couldn't tell for a while whether the other party was complaining to him, or if he really felt that he thought so.

For no reason, with his back turned to Qiao Ying, he suddenly felt very nervous.

……

"Haha... why do you think so, I have you enough."

"Besides, I haven't met your sister twice, have I?"

"Do you think that I will fall in love with a woman who has only seen two sides?"

……

"You can."
