Sun Quan and Lu Yi turned over and dismounted, led the horses into the barracks, and looked at the soldiers practicing by the big tent as they walked, both curious and a little nervous. Although there are no war drums, no flags, and the opponents who practice are also robes that get along day and night, the soldiers are still high-spirited, and some practice swords, shields, and spears. Some practice hand-to-hand fighting and wrestling, and they are vigorous and sound when they land. Some practice overdistance (long jump) and warping (weightlifting), and take off their shirts, revealing their muscular chests, full of power. Some people carried a huge tree together, shouted a trumpet, and ran back and forth, with great momentum.

Sun Quan was envious. "Ah Yi, with such elite soldiers in hand, no wonder my eldest brother is invincible."

Lu Yi nodded and shook his head again. "The training of soldiers is only the basis for victory, and whether you can win depends on whether the generals can be good at using it."

Sun Quan crooked the corners of his mouth, a little disapproving. "Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, isn't it the army of tigers and wolves? Qin generals are not all famous generals. ”

"Li Xin's defeat in Chu's defeat and Wang's shearing in Chu's victory, isn't it the difference between generals?"

Sun Quan hesitated for a moment, and then argued: "Li Xin...... There were only 200,000 people, and Wang Jian had 600,000. ”

"But Li Xin said at the beginning that only 200,000 is enough."

Sun Quan smacked his lips, and his slightly blue eyes rolled. "Ah Yi, Pang Shiyuan followed my eldest brother on the expedition at the age of thirteen, and he is not more than a few months older than us. When we see my eldest brother later, we beg him to let him take us with him. ”

Lu Yi thought about it and shook his head. "I still want to study for a few more years. Learning is the foundation of life, and there are many opportunities to join the army, but after a few years, it is not so easy to study again. Besides, learning to shoot from King Chen is also a martial arts, so why do you have to come to the barracks. ”

"You, like an old master, are really boring." Sun Quan shrugged, quickened his pace, and hurried towards the big tent.

When they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Sun Quan and Lu Yi handed over their mounts to the righteous servants, and they signed up. Sun Ce heard Sun Quan's voice and came out of it, quite surprised. Sun Quan and Lu Yi rarely came to the Gepi camp, and Sun Yi came more often, who refused to leave the camp whenever he had the opportunity, pestering Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others to ask for martial arts, or to mingle with the soldiers of each battalion and listen to their stories of battle.

"Why are you here, something?"

Sun Quan arched his hand and said: "The eldest brother has not returned for a few days, and my mother is worried in my heart, let's take a look." ”

Sun Ce patted his head. The past two days have been too busy, and he habitually entered a wartime state, and easily did not leave the camp, even if it was only more than twenty miles away from Pingyu. Once he left the camp, he must be escorted by at least nearly 100 people, and now the soldiers are undergoing pre-war training, ready to go out at any time, and he is not willing to make trouble.

"Everything is fine on my end. Go around the camp and go back, don't worry your grandmother. ”

"Big Brother......

"What's the matter, is there anything else? Oh, by the way, Ah Weng's side is going well, there is no trouble, and he has already entered Shaobei. ”

"That's great. Big brother, can I ask you for one thing? ”

"What's the matter?"

"I want to learn how to use soldiers from my eldest brother, okay?"

Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan with a smile on his face, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. Maybe it's a preconceived idea, he always has a little estrangement from this younger brother, which is a little different from the previous Sun Ce himself - the previous Sun Ce took care of Sun Quan, could it be that Sun Quan felt it and deliberately came to improve the relationship?

"Isn't it too early for you to join the army? Let's read for a few years. ”

Sun Quan was a little aggrieved and pouted. "The third brother is younger than me, and they all went out with Ah Weng."

Sun Ce was taken aback. Sun Yi went on the expedition with Sun Jian? I hadn't heard a little wind before, so it's no wonder I haven't seen him these days. He rolled his eyes. "He went with him secretly, didn't he? Fight to get beaten up, and then talk about it first. ”

Sun Quan nodded. Sun Yi often goes in and out of Sun Jian and Sun Ce's camp, and he is very familiar with the righteous servants around them, and it is not difficult to hide in the team. He came relatively rarely, and he didn't have this condition, so he could only ask Sun Ce directly.

"Wait until I go back and ask my mother, if she agrees, I'll take you."

"And when are you going back?"

Before Sun Ce could answer, Zhang Hong walked out of the tent and persuaded: "General, it is wartime, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no enemy in the Runan border, and the two children are not safe. You haven't been back for a few days, so let's go back and meet your family. We have everything here, so you don't have to worry. ”

Sun Ce was just a prevarication, but when he heard Zhang Hong say this, he couldn't excuse himself. He thought for a while and said: "It's not good for me to go back alone to reunite with my family, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, so let's set up another camp, and all the soldiers can bring their families to meet, and then pick some kabuki from the officials, slaves and maids, and perform some programs at night, so as to rush the anger in my heart, and cultivate enough spirit to go into battle." ”

Zhang Hong frowned. "General, isn't that okay? Morale should be gathered rather than dispersed, if everyone loves home, where is there still fighting spirit? ”

"Then it's up to us to guide us." Sun Ce said meaningfully: "What are we fighting for? Isn't it just to protect our good life and protect our families? It is precisely because we know the good that we have to protect, otherwise we will not become butchers who only know how to kill? To kill for the sake of killing is to be inferior. Killing and killing, killing for the peace of the world is the highest goal of the army. This is my understanding of stopping fighting as martial arts, does Mr. Zigang think so? ”

Zhang Hong nodded. "The general is right, but I was negligent. I'll arrange for someone to prepare. ”

"Mr. Law."

Sun Quan and Lu Yi stood aside, watching Sun Ce see Zhang Hong leave, looked at each other, and nodded in unison. Everyone said that Sun Ce was frivolous, rude, and did not read much, but the words he said and the things he did often secretly coincided with the teachings of the sages, and it was rare to understand that he could stop fighting for martial arts. Famous generals care about the soldiers, but only about the soldiers themselves, and a few of them care about the families of the soldiers, and the protection of their families is listed as the primary goal of the campaign.

"Come in." Sun Ce held one in one hand and brought Sun Quan and Lu Yi into the big tent.

The big tent was a little crowded, piles of paper rolls were classified, stacked everywhere, and the two-paper wide paper rolls were filled with several large boxes, Lu Meng and others were busy, copying the words on the paper rolls one by one and summarizing them into a book. There are several maps hanging in the middle of the big tent, one of which is a map of Yuzhou, which is different from the common map of Yuzhou, this map adds the content of Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou, which is equivalent to a quarter of a map of the Han Dynasty, which is full of small flags.

Lu Yi stared at the map for a while and said, "General, is this a situation map?" ”

"yes, isn't it a bit of a mess?"

"Why don't the generals learn from Ma Fubo and make a terrain model for the mountain, so that it can be seen at a glance."

Sun Ce smiled. "Ah Yi's words are very good, why didn't I expect it."
