Chapter 321: The Mouth of the Literati
Sun Quan sat behind the case, lifted the pot on the case, and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun looked at the brown tea soup in the lacquer ear cup, smelled the strong ginger smell, frowned inadvertently, and put her hands in her sleeves, motionless.
Sun Quan looked at her in surprise. "Don't you take a sip?"
"I like to drink tea." Mrs. Sun raised her head, looked at Sun Quan's blue eyes that were full of surprise and exhaustion, and said lightly: "Use a glass cup." ”
Sun Quan was slightly stunned, then beckoned, called "Ali", and Gu Li, who was hiding on the side, responded. It didn't take long for a new pot of tea to be delivered and set on the stove. Gu Li personally changed a glass cup for Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun bowed slightly, Gu Li returned the salute with a smile and withdrew.
Sun Quan looked at Mrs. Sun curiously, watched her carefully rinse the glass cup with hot water, watched her pour out a cup of freshly boiled tea from the pot, watched her hold the cup in both hands, sniffed at the end of her nose, took a shallow sip of tea, and then closed her eyes and tasted it carefully.
"Sister, you look good today."
"Thank you, Brother Wang. With the help of the big tiger, I am much more relaxed. ”
Sun Quan smiled. "Big Tiger, that kid, I still know that it is a piece of jade, whether it can be carved into a tool depends on the craftsmanship of the jade worker." A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure. "Right now, she can only help you run errands and do some hard work. It will take at least ten years to truly share the responsibility for you. ”
"Brother Wang is wise. However, the big tiger has a good life and is complemented by good materials, so it may not take ten years. ”
"You mean Cao Miao?" Sun Quan put away his smile. "Can you confirm his identity?"
Mrs. Sun nodded. "Even if he is a spy, it is not a conspiracy like assassination and snooping, it is more likely to be a conspiracy."
Sun Quan was noncommittal and motioned for Mrs. Sun to continue. Mrs. Sun told her judgment one by one. After this period of investigation, she believes that it is very unlikely that Cao Miao is a spy, and it should be the truth that she offended Zhong Miao and fled. Because of this, he is not hostile to Wei and hopes to return one day and continue to be his prince.
For such people, coercion and inducement do not work, and they can only cooperate and take what they need.
The starting point of cooperation is the common opponent of Wei and Wu: Shu Han.
Specifically, it is Zhuge Liang. Cao Miao has always suspected that there is Zhuge Liang's shadow behind Yinbo, and he is angry.
Sun Quan pondered for a long time. "What if he's an Assassin? I've heard that he can kill people with his bare hands without weapons. ”
Mrs. Sun said: "What Brother Wang said is extremely true, so for the sake of safety, Brother Wang should keep a distance from him in order to be safe." ”
"He's targeting me?"
Mrs. Sun said lightly: "He had the opportunity to kill me, but he didn't." If he were an Assassin, he would have targeted someone more noble than me. Who else could there be besides Brother Wang? ”
Sun Quan suddenly nodded, and didn't say anything more. He listened to Mrs. Sun's report on several things, including how to solve Elfang's suspicions, how to deal with those bandits, and how to eliminate the influence of rumors. Mrs. Sun spoke in detail, and Sun Quan listened very carefully, asking a question or two from time to time.
Attendants kept appearing outside the temple gate, but they were all stopped outside by Guli.
Mrs. Sun reported for nearly an hour, and only after drinking the tea did not taste before she got up to say goodbye. She went out of the temple gate, glanced at the officials waiting at the bottom of the stairs, smiled faintly, and walked away.
Sun Quan got up and paced back and forth in the hall to relieve the soreness and fatigue of sitting for a long time. He looked at Mrs. Sun's tall back, and suddenly said, "Ali, have you noticed any difference between her and the past?" ”
Gu Li bowed with a smile. "Compared with the past, today's lady is more calm."
Sun Quan stroked his beard and chuckled. "Yes, she said that Cao Miao is the good assistant of the big tiger, and in my opinion, Cao Miao is more like her arm. died a Shi Sha and got a Cao Miao, she didn't lose. He walked to the door of the hall and his gaze swept over the faces of more than ten ministers. Prepare the car and go to the residence of the Marquis of Fist (Zhang Zhao). ”
——
Cao Miao once again went out of the troublesome camp.
This time it's not by car, it's on horseback. There was not only Sun Luban, but also Mrs. Sun and her big bow.
Along the way, Cao Miao turned his head several times to look at the big bow with a strange expression. Mrs. Sun saw it in her eyes, but pretended not to know, and urged the horse to hurry all the way. The female guard with the big bow followed suit, ensuring that Madame Sun could get the bow at any time.
The same is true of the nearly 100 female guards who accompanied them, all carrying bows and arrows, and they were murderous.
Cao Miao smacked her lips, the intention of this threat is too clear, Hongguoguo's. Madame Sun was indeed a very suspicious person, and no matter how sincere he was, she would not be able to completely resolve her guard. For this trip, she not only left Zhishu and Liu Chen as hostages, but also used both soft and hard measures, letting Ruhua accompany Sun Luban, and arranged such a big battle to prevent him from going back on his word and making trouble temporarily.
No matter how good her martial arts are, she can't face nearly 100 fully armed female guards, not to mention Mrs. Sun's big bow that can pierce through the bull's head.
The woman was ruthless, and sure enough, there was nothing wrong with the man.
Cao Miao followed Mrs. Sun for three days, visited several places, and finally selected three locations as training grounds for the new tactics, one was a mountain forest, one was a lane, and one was a wetland.
Taking this opportunity, Cao Miao also had a personal experience of the overall situation of Wuchang City. This place is really not suitable as a capital city, and even as a military fortress is a bit reluctant. First, the transportation is inconvenient, and second, the area is small and scattered, and the pressure on defense is very great. If the force is insufficient, there are too many holes to exploit.
Once the war on the Western Front eases, it is inevitable for Sun Quan to return to the capital to build a business.
No matter how you fight, the Wushu Alliance is the general trend, at least Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang will not break when they are alive. After they died...... The Three Kingdoms are also coming to an end. It's just that no one thought that it was not the Great Wei that unified the world in the end, but the Great Jin.
Of course, now that Sima Yi and Sima Shi are half dead, they should not be able to harm Dawei.
Thinking of the smugness, Cao Miao laughed out loud, causing Sun Luban to tilt his head and look at him vigorously. Cao Miao frowned and turned her head to look at the scenery. Sun Luban smiled even more happily, pulled his horse over, and knocked Cao Miao's arm with a horsewhip.
"Tell you something."
"Say."
"Zhang Gongxin has made a fu, do you want to hear it?"
"Fu?" Cao Miao was stunned for a moment.
Sun Luban cleared his throat and recited aloud. Fu is very long, starting from the three emperors and five emperors, in addition to the peculiarities of the founding kings of each generation, what heavy pupils and long zhun are all innate disappearances recorded in ancient history. Fu is elegantly written, but there are no rare words, and most people can understand it. Of course, Cao Miao can also understand. Isn't this just a defense of Sun Quan's appearance, and by the way, it also proves that Sun Quan is destined to be the founding monarch of Great Wu.
Although Sun Ce can fight and lay the foundation of Jiangdong, there is no disappearance.
"The mouth of a literati, a ghost of deception." Cao Miao smiled dumbly. "Zhang Gong's credit deserves half of my credit."
"You don't need to divide it, you also have merit." Sun Luban stared. "My father will summon you."
