"The water is shining and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy. If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate. Although this poem written about the West Lake by Dongpo monks seems to be simple, it is very timeless, which makes people feel a lot after reading it carefully. Especially when you walk on the edge of this West Lake and look at the scenery here, you can appreciate the wonder of the poem even more. Fang Fei stood under the willow tree by the West Lake and said with a smile to Pang Wanchun beside him.

As one of the most famous scenic spots in Hangzhou, West Lake is full of tourists on weekdays, even if the war is tight now, many people and wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou will come here to enjoy it in this bright spring season. But today, there are not many people on the edge of the West Lake, just because Fang Fei and Pang Wanchun, who are now the dominant figures in Hangzhou City, come here to visit, and ordinary people have long been cleared out by the guards.

As the prime minister of Wu State, Fang Fei is also a good day on weekdays, and there are too many government affairs to deal with, so he is so interested in visiting West Lake today, but it is to comfort Pang Wanchun. The loss of Suzhou, coupled with some subsequent changes in the DPRK and China, put the first person in the Wu army under a lot of pressure, and the whole person was a little depressed. Fang Fei saw it in his eyes, so he invited him out under the pretext of distraction and enlightened him a little.

Pang Wanchun's gaze also slowly swept from the rippling lake, and stared at the lotus leaf bush that already had a few buds for a moment, and then reluctantly smiled: "Fang Xiang is really knowledgeable, and the last general is just a rough person, although he has also read this poem, he has not had too many opinions." ”

"Hehe, what you said is also a bit exaggerated, I still know how many catties and taels I have for fat. If you were really knowledgeable, you wouldn't have failed in the imperial examination year after year. Speaking of which, if it weren't for that, maybe I would have been in the official career, and I wouldn't have the Fang Fei I am today. Fang Fei smiled self-deprecatingly: "But this is the chance of life, maybe you will lose for a while, but as long as the opportunity comes and you can grasp it, there will always be a time to turn over, or even soar into the sky." ”

"What Fang Xiang said is that in fact, the last general does not mean to be dissatisfied with the affairs of the court, I am just worried that my life in Wu will not be easy in the future." Pang Wanchun already understood that the other party was just using the topic to persuade him, so he nodded and said: "Just two days ago, news came from Suzhou, and Sun Tu actually took the lead in getting rid of Zhu Mian, so the situation of the Song army is completely different from before. That Sun Tu is a soldier who can use soldiers, and he has caused us a lot of damage before, if he really lets his hands and feet go, the future battle will not be easy to fight. ”

"yes, we did miscalculate. At that time, I only thought that I could instigate his generals to be suspicious of each other and lose harmony, so as to mess up his position and create opportunities for our Wu army. Unexpectedly, the instigation became a success, but the result was more serious than we thought! This Sun Tu's courage was too great, and he dared to kill Zhu Mian directly to prevent future troubles. ”

Pang Wanchun sighed lightly: "I have fought with him a few times before, this is a person who acts in an eclectic manner, is good at taking the sword sideways, and wins by taking risks...... But even so, I didn't expect him to be so bold, that Zhu Mian was the commander of the Southern Song Army in the Jiangnan Dynasty, and he was an important minister of the Song Dynasty, so he actually said that he would kill him. In this way, our whole plan has been disrupted. ”

"This Sun Tu is indeed a great rival, but you and I don't have to worry too much. Although he surprised us this time, and the slogans and texts that we had spread before to kill Zhu Mian were useless, the Song army must still be unstable, and how could other soldiers and horses obey his dispatch. and in the Song court, once the news is passed back, he will inevitably be regarded by many people as a rebellious minister and thief, and it is not uncommon to seize his military power and eradicate him all together. Fang Fei obviously looked farther and said casually: "So on the surface, it seems that we were caught off guard by him, but in the long run, this is more beneficial to us." And what we have to do next is to focus on defense, and try to drag the war back as much as possible, until the Song Dynasty can no longer believe in Sun Tu, it will be his death! ”

Although Fang Fei is not good at using tricks, he can be regarded as a figure like Xiao He next to Fang La, but this does not mean that he does not have his own vision and strategy, just such a countermeasure is enough to deal with such a trick made by Sun Tu.

Pang Wanchun also glanced at Fang Fei with admiration, and nodded sincerely: "What Fang Xiang said is that we were in a hurry to forge ahead before, and we wanted to take down all the cities in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible. But then, it is the turn of the Song army to be more anxious to use troops, as long as they hold their several rounds of offensives, once the Song army generals change, it will be an excellent opportunity for us to wave our troops north and break the enemy in one fell swoop! ”

Speaking of this, he frowned slightly: "But...... Nowadays, there are still many generals in our army who are clamoring to recapture Suzhou and return the previous shame to the Song army, so if you want to only defend and not attack, you still need to convince them. ”

Fang Fei smiled: "Your concerns are not unreasonable, I will immediately advise Your Majesty on this matter." I believe that the loyalty of the Ten Buddhas of Israel will also be understood. You can also rest assured, if you really want to go to war with the Song army, you Pang Shuai is still the best choice for the commander of the three armies, and no one can replace you. ”

"Fang Xiang's words are serious, the last general has no selfish intentions, he is just worried that some people will take advantage of Song Jun's heart because of their willfulness." Pang Wanchun hurriedly explained. In this regard, Fang Fei just smiled and didn't say anything more, some things were tacit, so why bother to break them.

After walking a few more steps, Fang Fei sighed softly: "But there is one thing that I have a slightly different opinion from Pang Shuai. That Sun Tu is by no means just a military general who can use dangerous soldiers and take the edge of his sword as you said, and his wrists are smart. Just look at the way he immediately deducted seven felonies from Zhu Mian and made them public, you can know that what he planned was not small. ”

"Oh? How can I see it, but also look forward to the other side's guidance. ”

"He is not only doing this to deal with the slogan we put forward before to kill Zhu Mian, but also to seek self-protection and a way back for his future. As long as these charges can really spread in Jiangnan, and even let him send people to spread them throughout the Song Kingdom, thus affecting the people and even the officialdom, then even if the monarchs and ministers of the court are hostile to him, they will have some concerns about convicting him on this basis. After all, killing important officials of the court is completely different from killing a treacherous villain who kills everyone and is punished. And once most people believe that Zhu Mian is a traitor who brings disaster to the country and the people, then Sun Tu, who killed him, is not only not guilty, but meritorious. At the very least, it shouldn't be so difficult for him to save his official life. ”

After listening to this explanation, Pang Wanchun showed a thoughtful look: "It seems that this Sun Tu is indeed more powerful than I imagined, so it is not too unjust for me to lose at his hands before." ”

"Yes, this person will eventually become a big problem for my Wu State, if he is allowed to replace Zhu Mian and become the commander of the Song Army, we will not be able to deal with it next. Therefore, we must do everything possible to eradicate him first, at least to drive him away from the Jiangnan army! ”

The two talked while walking, and before they knew it, they had come to the Su Causeway, watching a few fish bubbling in the water, and the depression in Pang Wanchun's heart had dissipated a lot.

Just as the two of them were about to go back, a Fang Fei cronie who stayed on the periphery hurried over with a look on his face, and he also held a book in his hand. As soon as he saw the two of them, he even quickened his pace and stepped forward: "Fang Xiang, something happened." ”

"Oh? This is something that has made you so nervous. Fang Fei still looked light and light, and asked with a smile.

"There was also a war message from the north, but the content was quite inappropriate. Moreover, they actually sent thousands of documents to many county capitals under the rule of Wu in a few days, and now even the city of Hangzhou has begun to spread. With that, the man handed over the book in his hand.

Fang Fei's expression finally became a little dignified, and he hurriedly took it and opened it to take a quick look. After a while, his face was even more gloomy, and his hands began to tremble slightly. Seeing this, Pang Wanchun was also nervous and puzzled, with his understanding of Fang Fei, this can really be regarded as Taishan collapsed in front of him and did not change, steady and steady, rarely has such an uncontrollable performance.

"What the hell is this......" Pang Wanchun had just asked half a sentence, Fang Fei had already handed the book to him, and at the same time said: "This Sun Tu is really vicious, he actually used such a demagogic statement, once the matter spreads, it will be a catastrophe for my Wu Kingdom." Only one piece of paper can reach 100,000 soldiers of his Song army, and I have to go to see Your Majesty immediately, and the previous strategy will change. ”

Although Pang Wanchun is not erudite, he can also understand this text. The content here is actually very simple, that is, to point out that the foundation of today's Wu Guoguo is a foreign Manichaeism, which is completely an evil demon and a fallacy that is completely contrary to the Confucianism that has been inherited by the Chinese nation for thousands of years. Once such a foreign way really rises, it will be the end of the world's scholars, so today's Great Song Dynasty sent troops not only to rule for itself, but also to defend the foundation of the entire Han people! So he called on all the gentry and scholars in Jiangnan to rise up against Wu and join forces with the imperial court to protect the Han people's unity!

Even if Pang Wanchun was just an ordinary military general and hadn't read many books, he knew how much impact it would have on Wu Guo once this matter spread. He immediately gasped: "This Sun Tu is really a powerful means!" ”

This can no longer be described as a powerful one, once this matter ferments, its destructive power will definitely not be something that this small Wu country can bear. Fang Fei said that this inscription can be worth 100,000 soldiers is completely underestimated, in a sense, this inscription can be worth 1 million soldiers!

You must know that Sun Tu did this just to pick up people's teeth, and one of the important reasons why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in history would fall quickly was that Zeng Guofan made a great fuss about defending Confucianism and Taoism, and that article was called worth a million soldiers by later generations!
