The arrival of Bosil and Youma, Zhao Hongrun, who was in Gongxian County, did not know about it, because there were two generals of the Chu State, Xiang Mo and Xiang Pei, separated between the two. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the Chu army on this side of the West Road Battlefield, which is getting more and more sad, Zhao Hongrun's life in recent days has been very pleasant, no, when Sun Shuke, She Li, and Gan Ben came to Xuan County to return to Zhao Hongrun, the latter was holding a scroll of Chu and watching it with relish.

Out of curiosity, Sun Shuke glanced around a few times, only to realize that it was actually a Chu book depicting gods and ghosts.

"His Royal Highness King Su also likes to see this kind of strange talk?" She Li couldn't help but ask.

The reason why he asked this question was because the strange book in Zhao Hongrun's hand was actually mostly used to educate children to learn well, which can be understood as children's books.

The general idea of the book is nothing more than to persuade people to learn well, such as being a good person, loyal to the monarch and patriotism, filial piety to their parents, and unfilial people will be eaten by monsters, or killed by lightning or something.

Although in Zhao Hongrun's view, they are all groundless arguments, it is undeniable that this is a book that persuades people to be kind.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Hongrun will turn over this kind of book is because he has been too idle in recent days, so he uses these gods and ghosts to pass the time, purely as a fiction book to kill time.

"If you have nothing to do, you can flip through it, anyway, there is nothing wrong with reading more books like this kind of persuading people to learn well." Zhao Hongrun replied with a smile.

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun checked the book in his hand and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this king sees that there are many stories in the book with good meanings, and he is going to adapt them slightly, translate them into Wei characters, and pass them on to my Great Wei...... A few people won't mind, right? ”

Sun Shuke, She Li, and Gan Ben were stunned, and then said again and again that they had no objections, but they were a little happy.

Because in this era, there was no such thing as intellectual property rights, and the people's hearts were very simple, and those who wrote their writings wished that their theories or books would be widely circulated so that they could leave a name in history.

For now, if Zhao Hongrun really brought this book of Chu depicting gods and ghosts to the Wei State, it would undoubtedly be the pride of the Chu people.

Although I don't know if the author of this book is still alive, I believe he will also thank Zhao Hongyun for expanding his reputation.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled with satisfaction, handed the book in his hand to Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao, and said to him: "Keep it carefully, and hand it over to the Ministry of Rites in the future, this book can be used to discipline the people." ”

"Yes." Wei Jiao took the book with both hands with a serious expression.

It's no wonder that he is so serious, after all, in this era, not everyone is qualified to publish books, so books are still a relatively sacred term in the Central Plains countries.

I think that at the beginning, Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, chose to speak out in order to expand his prestige, but unfortunately he was disturbed by Zhao Hongrun.

Wei Jiao carefully placed the book in a wooden box. Inside this wooden box are books that Zhao Hongrun has read so far and that he thinks are educational.

On the side, Zong Wei Mu Qing, who came to Zhao Hongrun's side with nothing to do, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Highness, there are few literate people in the country, even if you give them this kind of book, they can't understand it?" …… They can't even write their own names. After a pause, he added in a somewhat complicated tone: "I believe they are more interested in finding a way to fill their stomachs than this thing." ”

Zhao Hongrun was silent when he heard this.

Indeed, Mu Qing said it well, so that he could not refute it, but Zhao Hongrun believed that these books would be used by the people of Wei sooner or later.

However, when he thought that it might take more than ten years, decades, or even hundreds or even thousands of years to educate the people, even Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little at a loss.

Shaking his head, he diverted the topic and asked Uncle Sun, "How is the situation in Xiangcheng?" ”

At this time, Sun Shuke was looking at Zhao Hongrun with a complicated expression.

Because in the state of Chu, people's hearts are impetuous, and this kind of books that persuade people to be good have almost died out and lost their meaning of existence: the vast majority of literate nobles think about how to accumulate wealth, so that there are more and more gold, silver and copper coins in the family treasury, or they are lustful and keen on pleasure, how can they sink down to read such books that persuade people to be good; As for the illiterate civilians, I am afraid that such books are worth less than a handful of firewood in their hands.

What was once a great power has been reduced to this......

Sun Shuke sighed silently.

"Uncle Sun?" Gan Ben glanced at Sun Shuke in surprise, and reminded in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Su asked you." ”

Sun Shuke woke up like a dream and repeatedly confessed to Zhao Hongrun.

"Uncle Sun, what is on General Sun's mind?" Zhao Hongrun asked curiously.

Sun Shuke smiled bitterly, because compared to the virtuous His Royal Highness King Wei Guosu in front of him, he recently felt more and more that the Lord Monarch he had served, Juyang Jun Xiong Litai was not a thing.

Comparing the behavior of Zhao Hongrun and Xiong Carp, Sun Shuke became more and more disappointed in the latter, and he gradually felt that the greedy Xiong Carp was not worthy of being the ruler of one party's territory.

"Xiangcheng...... Lord Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shang Shui Army, settled the displaced civilians well. …… Oh, by the way, Lord Zhai Huang also asked the general to send a message to His Royal Highness King Su, saying that in order to stabilize those commoners, he selected a few people from them to serve as the chiefs of the people, some of whom were still from small clans, but their reputation in the past was not bad...... Please forgive His Royal Highness the King of Su for the sin of making claims without permission. Sun Shuke said respectfully.

"Oh." Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then said to Mu Qing, who was idle beside him, "Mu Qing, aren't you idle?" Take a trip to Xiangcheng and tell Zhai Huang that he is doing well. In addition, tell him that Xiangcheng is in charge of him. ”

Mu Qing had a bitter face when he heard this, although he was very idle, but he didn't want to go to Xiangcheng, so he hurriedly ran out of the house and shouted: "Your Highness, I'd better find a few Su Wangwei and let them go." ”

With that, the guy ran away.

Zhao Hongrun and Zong Wei Changwei shook their heads speechlessly.

At this time, although Sun Shuke also felt funny, he didn't dare to openly laugh at Mu Qing, after all, Mu Qing was Zong Wei, read as Zong Wei, and wrote as King Su's henchman, how could he make fun of him as a general.

So, Sun Shuke immediately diverted the topic: "By the way, His Royal Highness King Su, when the last general arrived in Xiangcheng, I heard that on Mengshan Mountain in the northwest of Xiangcheng, there was a Chu general named Dou Lian who was still holding on?" ”

Zhao Hongrun was interested when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Have you heard of Dou Lian?" ”

Uncle Sun explained with a smile when he heard this: "I've just heard of it, but I haven't had any contact." …… This person is a disciple of the Dou clan, and the Dou clan is also a well-known general in the Chu State, if you want to subdue this person, Your Highness, I am afraid it will not be so easy. ”

Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, because although he had thought about recruiting Dou Lian, he had not made any actual moves so far.

The reason why he didn't attack Dou Lian was just because he felt that Dou Lian's forces were no longer enough to influence the Wei army, so he didn't bother to spend any more effort.

But after thinking about it, he understood that most of it was done by Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shangshui Army in Xiangcheng, after all, Dou Lian was also a brave and resourceful general of the Chu State, and what the Shangshui Army lacked the most was this kind of general.

Forget it, let Zhai Huang worry about it himself.

Shaking his head secretly, Zhao Hongrun smiled and said to Sun Shuke and the other three generals: "Well, this side has been ignoring it recently, and the three generals have been escorting the people all the way, so let's go down and rest for the time being." …… Now that our Wei army has attacked to the south of the Hun River, this king is thinking, there are many Chu people suffering south of the Hun River, and this king hopes that the three generals will work hard to escort the Chu people there to Xiangcheng......"

Hearing this, Sun Shuke and the other three generals looked at each other with strange expressions.

Not?

Zhao Hongrun's face showed a little puzzlement.

At this moment, I saw Sun Shuke take a deep breath, clench his fists and say: "His Royal Highness King Su, I heard that our army is attacking Zhengyang, and the three generals hope to make a difference." ”

Huh?

The incomprehension on Zhao Hongrun's face became even stronger, because Sun Shuke and the three of them didn't want to meet the old master Juyang Jun Xiong Carp Battlefield a while ago, so they went to take charge of the task of escorting Chu Min, why did this change again?

For merit?

Zhao Hongrun didn't believe that Sun Shuke was such a person.

Probably guessing the surprise in Zhao Hongrun's heart, Sun Shuke said in a heavy tone: "His Royal Highness King Su Mingjian, in the past few days, the last general has escorted those civilians for three days, and has witnessed all kinds of ...... during this period Compared with Your Highness, your wisdom, what Juyang Jun Xiong Li has done in Juyangyi over the years can be called innumerable. Although the three of us have returned to the Great Wei, before leaving, I hope that His Royal Highness King Su will allow us to atone for our sins and do one last thing for the Chu State......"

This last thing, Zhao Hongrun can guess what it is without Sun Shuke saying it directly.

This is ......

Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly.

Because in his consideration, the more goods like Juyang Jun Xiong Carp in the Chu State, the better, because as long as there are these people, it will be difficult for the Chu State to become strong again, but looking at the decisive look in the eyes of the three generals in front of him, Zhao Hongrun hesitated slightly.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun nodded heavily and said, "Okay!" In this case, the three of you will listen to the king's tent, and when the time is ripe, you will capture the giant sun for the king! ”

"Yes!" Sun Shuke, She Li, and Gan Ben hugged their fists with some excitement.

And after the three of them left, Zhao Hongrun sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "I did a loss-making business." ”

Next to him, Wei Jiao was amused when he heard it, so he persuaded him: "Your Highness, don't you think this is a loss-making business. …… His Royal Highness's move upheld the determination of the three of Sun Shuke and won their loyalty. ”

"That being said......"

Zhao Hongrun was talking, when he suddenly saw Zongwei Lu Mu walking in from outside the house, clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, there are soldiers who have come to report that on the south bank of the Hun River, tens of thousands of Chu people have gathered, and these people are trying to cross the river, saying that they want to defect to Your Highness...... The soldiers who patrolled the shore did not dare to make a claim. ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the wind evaluation of my Wei army could make other civilians take the initiative to vote, haha, excellent." …… It just so happened that Uncle Sun and the three of them were asked to deal with it. ”

"Yes!"

Lu Mu clenched his fists and retreated. (To be continued.) )
