Chapter 363: Kind
Hearing Sun Luban's order, Cao Miao was really taken aback.
Set fire to the mountain? It's simple, but it's too crude.
Sure enough, those who can be kings and hegemons are ruthless people, and there are cruel genes hidden in their blood. Most of the so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality are pretended to be forced by the situation.
Hu Zong was also startled, he didn't speak for a long time, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.
"Shoot arrows with heavy crossbows and burn them from the mountainside." Sun Luban pointed to the scalper gang and talked eloquently, his thinking was so clear that it was frightening, like a habitual arsonist. "It's a southeast wind now, it's best to set fire to them from the southeast, even if it doesn't burn them for a while, the smoke can make them can't open their eyes......"
Hu Zong couldn't help but say: "Princess, it's easy to set fires and it's hard to put out fires." Once the wind is strong, this mountain forest will be affected, and the smoke and dust will drift to Wuchang City, and even the palace will not be spared. For the sake of a few bandits, such fanfare, there is really no need. After dawn, the Supreme returned to the palace, and then mobilized a large army to surround the mountain, at most two days, he would definitely be able to plow the court and sweep the caves, and wipe out these thieves. ”
"Are you sure?" Sun Luban will be skeptical.
"Sure."
"In that case, then leave this place to Hu Du, and I'll come back tomorrow to watch the battle." Without waiting for Hu Zong to answer, Sun Luban turned over and turned the horse's head. "Back to camp!" Kick the horse and go.
Sun Qing and the others did not dare to slack off, so they got on their horses one after another and retreated with Sun Luban. Cao Miao didn't get off the horse in the first place, so he naturally retreated with Sun Luban. Before turning around, he glanced at Hu Zong's face and couldn't help but laugh secretly. Hu Zong opened his mouth with a shocked expression, obviously not yet reacting.
A hundred paces rode to and fro like the wind, and without firing a single arrow, he withdrew again.
Hu Zong came back to his senses after a while, and smacked his lips with tears and laughter. He looked at the team that had disappeared into the night, leaving only a little fire, and shook his head helplessly. Sun Luban ran away, and he has to be responsible for the affairs here. After tossing around, he couldn't do anything to Sun Luban, but instead put a rope around his neck, and the end of the rope was grabbed in Sun Luban's hand, and he dragged it whenever he wanted.
But think about those soldiers who ran ten miles to come, didn't take a few breaths, turned around and ran back, the speed is still so fast, this physical strength is too good. There are more than 20,000 soldiers in the entire Liberation Battalion, and he is not sure whether he can pick out two thousand such elites.
set fire to the mountain at every turn, this princess is ruthless enough. really let her take over the troublesome camp army, I'm afraid it will be even more headache than Mrs. Sun.
Hu Zong let out a long sigh, patted his forehead, and slapped his hands in a cold sweat.
——
Sun Luban galloped all the way back to the station and found that someone was waiting for her.
King Wu sent someone to recruit her to board the ship and swim with her.
Sun Luban didn't dare to slack off, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, Cao Miao was also among the edicts, and boarded Sun Quan's building ship together.
The scale of this building ship is very large, half larger than the ordinary building ship, it is a veritable building ship, a moving building, brightly lit, crowded, a prosperous scene.
Mrs. Sun had already arrived in advance and sat on King Wu's side, looking calm.
On the river under the Yellow Cow Gang in the distance, the fire was full of fire, and more than a dozen warships were in the middle of a fierce battle, including three building ships. Two building ships with the battle flags of the Chinese army in the camp of Xie Fu attacked one and beat the other party without the strength to fight back, and the victory or defeat was decided, and the result was self-evident.
Cao Miao was a little surprised, and then glanced at Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun smiled quietly, with a victorious posture in her hands.
Cao Miao immediately understood. What he thought of, Mrs. Sun thought of, and she had already made preparations, just waiting for the other party to appear. She has enough resources in her hands, so she doesn't need to be stretched thin like Sun Luban, and as soon as she makes a move, she will be two building ships and forcibly crush each other.
Seeing Sun Luban in neat armor and sweating profusely, Sun Quan laughed and beckoned Sun Luban to him. "The lonely tiger has grown up." He patted Sun Luban on the shoulder, his eyes full of relief. "I heard from your aunt that your performance today is very good, and you have the demeanor of a general."
Sun Luban became shy, glanced at Cao Miao secretly, and licked his lips.
"Come, take a look at the night view of Wuchang City, and then see who wants to eat the bear's heart and leopard gall and dare to come to disturb the interest of the orphan." Sun Quan got up and looked at Cao Miao. "Fellow villager, let's come together and meet my Da Wu's Junjie."
Cao Miao smiled and thanked him. Sun Quan didn't have any sincerity in what he said, obviously he didn't want him to steal the limelight from Sun Luban in front of the ministers.
Sun Quan didn't insist, took Sun Luban's hand, and went to the lower cabin to meet the ministers.
Mrs. Sun didn't go down either, drinking tea leisurely. Waiting for cheers to come from the cabin on the lower floor, she got up, beckoned to Cao Miao, walked to the side of the gunwale, and looked at the battlefield in the distance. "There's bad news." She took a sip of her tea and put away her smile. "Zhu Ying was ambushed and suffered heavy losses, including your retinue Liu Chen."
Cao Miao was "shocked" and didn't speak for a long time.
"I just received news that the people in ambush were captured by the Wei army, most of whom were captured last year." Mrs. Sun took another sip of tea and tasted it carefully. "I don't know if it's the same group of bandits as the last batch. If there is a living mouth, I want you to help interrogate. ”
Cao Miao breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of shock. "Do you know who is the mastermind?"
"It's still uncertain, I hope you can interrogate some clues."
Cao Miao crouched on the railing and turned her head to look at Mrs. Sun's side face. "Why do I think you're lying to me again?"
Mrs. Sun met his gaze with a smile. "The heart of a villain." She paused, and then said: "I have some conjectures, but the evidence is insufficient, once you make a mistake, the consequences will be very serious, you can't be cautious." The reason why I don't tell you is because I don't want you to have a preconceived idea and make a misjudgment. ”
"Sounds reasonable." Cao Miao looked up at the sky. "In two hours, the festival will be over."
Mrs. Sun leaned on the railing, raised her head, and looked at the starry sky. "You don't have to wait until the child, I'll tell you where Aunt Quan is. Whether you can kill her with your own hands depends on your ability. ”
Cao Miao was silent and was silent for a long time. "I was going to let Liu Chen do it, but I didn't think about it, I broke him first, and there was another blood feud, and I don't know when it will be. Killing and killing, really tired. ”
Mrs. Sun looked at Cao Miao in surprise, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Cao Miao turned her head to look at her, frowning and looking displeased. Mrs. Sun picked up the teacup to cover it up, and after a while said, "When these words come out of your mouth, I always feel a little wrong." ”
"Why doesn't it smell right?"
"You don't look like someone who will lament when retribution has passed."
Cao Miao was annoyed and angry. "And who am I supposed to be?"
"Stalking, never dying." Mrs. Sun turned her head to look at Cao Miao, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. "Like a mad dog."
Cao Miao's lips snorted, as if she wanted to curse, but the words came to her lips and swallowed back.
"I'm not scolding you, we're all the same." Madame Sun said quietly: "Sometimes, you don't even know who your enemy is. In order to survive, we can only be like mad dogs, baring our teeth at anyone who may threaten us, so that they do not dare to act rashly. ”
