Fellowes was very angry when he heard the scream of the lookout sentry like someone had stepped on his tail, and this panicked cry could easily cause misunderstanding among the soldiers, who were in danger and were particularly sensitive, and would cause cranky thoughts as soon as there was a stir, so there was no reason why they were not allowed to run, shout, or talk to each other. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But the soldier apparently did not appreciate the anger of Feroz, and he continued to scream loudly, pointing to the rear of the fleet with one hand.

Sanjay was furious, and while shouting and scolding, he climbed up the watchtower, and drew the short sword at his waist to cut the sick sentry, but the sentry stared at the two eyes round, and the black eyeballs hung in the whites of the eyes, which looked very small, and there was an inexplicable strange taste, and his eyes were full of hidden fear, and the hand pointing behind him kept trembling.

Sanjay glanced in the direction he was pointing, and froze.

Five huge ships formed a half-moon shape, galloping from a distance, although they were headwind, and did not set sail, but the speed was unimaginable, compared to them, those Chola sailors were not only small, but also slow as snails. The big ship rushed into their rear quickly, and everywhere they went, people turned over on their backs, and a dozen giant poles as tall as masts on the big ship were like a dozen giant hands, constantly dancing, overturning and sinking the Tianzhu warships that were approaching one after another.

More than 20 warships that are not much different from the Tianzhu warships are behind, and they are not in a hurry to attack, their targets are those Tianzhu warships that are lucky enough to slip through the net between the big ships, although these warships are not as huge as the big ships in front, but they are extremely strong, Sanjay saw with his own eyes that the two Tianzhu warships were hit by each other and began to spin in place, and the shadowy soldiers on the ship were in a mess, like the scene when the water was leaking.

Do the Vietnamese have so many big ships? These big ships are so fast and have such a strong attack?

Sanjay felt that his brain was a little insufficient, he couldn't accept this fact, whether Sun Shao was ridiculous on the surface in front of him, whether he was trying to hide his weakness, whether he was bluffing for fame, it was all a scam, the purpose was to lead them to this death?

"Hey, what's the fuss?" Feroz was very upset to see Sanjay standing motionless like a log.

Sanjay suddenly came back to his senses, he turned around and climbed down, because of nervousness, when he was halfway up, his foot slipped and stepped on the air, and the whole person fell sideways from above. Ferroz was furious and was about to scold, but Sanjay rushed to him, hugged his legs, and cried: "King, run." ”

Ferroz was stunned for a moment, glanced at the watchtower above suspiciously, and then looked at the rear, there was already confusion in the rear, and a big ship from the east and west sides approached at an amazing speed, and in the distance, three big ships were also approaching rapidly, among the more than one hundred and fifty Chola warships, these five big ships were particularly abrupt.

They are tall, they are fast, they are tough, they are murderous and invincible.

Feroz's mind went blank for a moment, and was soon awakened by the frightened cries of his men, who immediately understood what was happening, and was so angry that he raised his foot and slammed it into Sanjay's head, and then shouted loudly: "Beat the drums, the rear team becomes the front team, meet -"

The drums sounded, the colorful flags flew, and the sailors who were hurrying north suddenly received this order, some of them were inexplicable, wondering if they had heard it wrong, and the people who had already seen the Yue Guo sailors who had copied the bread from the back were relieved, and without saying a word, they ordered to step forward to meet the enemy, and those with more flexible brains simply ordered to set sail, using the north wind to accelerate, whether they could escape or not, it was a matter of one move.

The battle formation of the Tianzhu Navy Division was suddenly chaotic, the Pandia Navy Division in front had been beaten by ten Yue warships, and was waiting for the Zheluo Navy Division and the Zhu Luo Navy Division behind to come forward to respond, the Zheluo Navy Division was the worst, looking at the Yue Guo Warship that suddenly appeared in front of them, they didn't know whether to step forward to grab the merit, or to notify the Zhu Luo Navy Division in the back first, the Zhu Luo Navy Division was the strongest, as soon as they came, I am afraid that they would not be able to catch these ten Yue warships. They had no idea that the strongest Chola sailor was now under even more ferocious attack.

Although there were nearly 20,000 Tianzhu water divisions, which was twice as many as the Yue Guo water divisions, they were at an absolute disadvantage from the beginning in front of the Yue national water divisions. Not only did they have no power to fight back in the face of tall and sturdy building ships, but they also had no chance of winning compared to the medium-sized warships of the Yue Kingdom, which were not much different in size. The warships of the Yue Kingdom were all fixed with iron nails, sturdy and sturdy, and they rampage without scruples, and they had the upper hand only by virtue of the solidity of the hull, coupled with the crossbows on the ship, in terms of attack power, they were more than one level higher than the Tianzhu sailors. The Tianzhu sailors not only can't beat them, but even if they want to escape, they are very difficult to escape, and the Tianzhu sailors driven by oars are two levels behind in front of the Yue warships driven by the oars, and the speed difference is nearly doubled.

The Tianzhu sailors were defeated without suspense, after a short contact, the courage of the Zhuluo sailors was broken like foam, they set sail one after another, ready to take advantage of the wind to escape, after all, there is no life or death in the confrontation with the building ship, and there are only more than 20 warships intercepted outside, so many people flee for their lives, there are still some opportunities.

Fei Luoz had no chance to escape, he was caught left and right by Zhou Xun and Zhuge Zhi's two building boats, the tall building boat was condescending, and he was caught deadly, although he tried his best to break through, but in the face of the two building ships, he was like a weak woman surrounded by two big men in the middle, and there was no hope of success at all.

Zhu Luo's soldiers faced the building ship that squeezed over like a wall, showing a desperate expression, they could not see the enemy hiding behind the gangway, but the enemy could see them clearly, one long arrow after another roared, accurately shot the soldiers who intended to resist to the ground, the other party was not in a hurry at all, they had enough time to aim, because even if the Zhu Luo soldiers wanted to jump off the side to fight, they could not find the tools to climb the building ship that was more than a foot higher than them for a while.

The fighting became a one-sided massacre.

However, Fei Luo Zi should feel lucky, and the soldiers on his ship should also feel lucky, because he is the king of Zhuluo, because he is the supreme commander of the Tianzhu United Naval Division, so Zhou Xun and Zhuge Zhi have a tacit understanding that they did not use the slap stick to attack him, but only crushed him dozens of long oars when squeezing, and the other hulls were almost intact, only nearly a hundred soldiers were shot by the powerful bow and crossbow, and the others could only shrink in the cabin in the end, watching the Yue people swagger down and ask Fei Luo to surrender.

Feroz was already paralyzed on the ground, unable to speak, and was finally dragged in front of Zhuge Zhi and Zhou Xun by two soldiers. Zhuge Zhi and Zhou Xun are both cautious people, and they did not compete for merit like others, and made friendly gestures to each other:

"General Zhuge first, please."

"General Zhou, please first."

Ferroz rolled his eyes, Suo fainted, he came with great ambition, he never thought that he would fall to this point, only fainting could keep himself from being too embarrassed.

Yang Xiu and Xiahou Rong invariably put down the clairvoyance in their hands, glanced at each other with a good heart, shook their heads at the same time, and sighed. Xiahou Rong took the lead and said: "I didn't expect the combat power of the Yue State Water Division to be so strong, and I didn't expect the Tianzhu Water Division to be so menacing, and it was so vulnerable. ”

"yes." Yang Xiu let out a long breath and said with a little luck: "Although Tianzhu has not been won yet, Tianzhu Sea is the world of the Yue State Water Master." After this war, the trade between these things was completely lost to the Tianzhu people. He paused, and then said, "Youquan, how likely do you think it is that the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Yue will jointly attack the Western Regions?" ”

"It's hard to say." Xiahou Rong shook his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, glanced at Yang Xiu, lowered his voice and said: "I have seen the geography of Tianzhu, if you can't take Tianzhu, it is almost impossible for Yue Guo to participate in the battle of the Western Regions." ”

"Why?" Yang Xiu was puzzled: "I heard that there is no need to pass through Tianzhu, in the west of Tianzhu, there is rest, there are branches, and it is much closer than the land route to pass by sea." With Vietnam's strong maritime capacity, it is not difficult to find a few islands at sea as transit bases. ”

Xiahou Rong was stunned, his eyes rolled twice, and he suddenly smiled, he looked at Yang Xiu with admiration: "Lord Yang, no wonder King Wei and King Yue value you so much, you are really a peerless talent, and your thinking is quick, Rong is ashamed of himself." I went to Vietnam with you, but I still didn't think about the difference between naval and land battles as quickly as you thought. ”

Yang Xiu smiled proudly, but his tone was very calm: "It's nothing, you are still young, and when you reach my age, it will not be comparable to me." Youquan, study hard, Zhu Jianping said that your fate has changed, maybe God is destined to let you take on the heavy responsibility. ”

Xiahou Rong smiled, glanced at the cabin, and said with a smile: "With Lord Yang and His Royal Highness here, where is there still room for me to play." ”

"Well, you don't have to think about it." Yang Xiu shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "Your Highness, if he intends to compete in the Central Plains, you really don't have many opportunities, but so far, he has no interest in this at all, so you still have a chance." Think about it, Taizhou is so big, it is already equivalent to Qingxu Erzhou, plus Haizhou, whether it is the size of his territory or the amount of wealth, it is not comparable to the current Central Plains, why should he give up such a big foundation to compete for the Central Plains? ”

Xiahou Rong nodded sympathetically and did not say anything. Originally, he was the same as Yang Xiu, he was worried that although Sun Shao said that he was not interested in the Central Plains, but in fact it was just empty words when his current strength was not good, after a trip to the South China Sea, he opened his eyes and knew that Sun Shao's strength had already surpassed the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, even if the entire Central Plains was combined, it might not be much stronger than him, he said that he didn't want to get involved in the Central Plains, at least for now, it seems to be credible.

"So, the matter of the Western Expedition is really feasible?"

"Feasible." Yang Xiu nodded affirmatively: "However, we have to recover some vitality in the past few years." After forty years of chaos, the vitality of the Han Dynasty has almost been exhausted, and if you don't pay attention, you will not be able to hold on to the Western Regions even if you take the Western Regions. ”

"Dezu is right." Sun Shao's voice came from behind. Yang Xiu and Xiahou Rong hurriedly turned around to pay their respects, only to see that although Sun Shao was smiling, he was a little reluctant, and there seemed to be some anxiety between his eyebrows, which was inevitably a little strange. The Tianzhu Sailor has disappeared, Sun Shao dominates the Tianzhu Sea in a battle, what is he unhappy about? Before the war, he called the bald nun in to give a lecture, and his expression was relaxed at that time, and it could be seen that he didn't pay attention to the war at all, and he was worried about how the battle was over.

"Dezu, what do you say you can do to make the population recover as soon as possible?" Sun Shao leaned on the railing, looked at the battlefield in the distance, and asked in a light tone.

"It's hard to say, for Yue Guo, I think the king's method is very appropriate." Yang Xiu said respectfully, paused, and said with some regret: "However, population growth is not a trivial matter after all, if you want to recover to tens of millions of households, I am afraid it will be impossible without fifty years." If there is any natural disaster in between, I'm afraid it will take longer. ”

"Well, you have a point." Sun Shao patted the railing gently, "So I said, it would be good if I were born forty years earlier." ”

Yang Xiu and Xiahou Rong glanced at each other and smiled. Sun Shao looked at them and smiled: "What, I'm too arrogant?" ”

"It's not." Xiahou Rong smiled: "We all think that what the king said is reasonable. Forty years ago, the reason why the people changed one after another was actually a problem in two aspects, one was the increase in natural disasters, and the other was the shortage of land. Both reasons have caused a shortage of food, the common people can not eat, can only take risks, if they can barely survive, how can there be such a thing as a million yellow scarves. ”

"Youquan, what do you think?" Sun Shao was a little surprised, but fortunately, Xiahou Rong surprised him too much, and he was used to it.

"These are all some insights from the king's good governance, and I ask the king for advice."

Sun Shao's mouth was crooked, and Xiahou Rong also confessed, directly saying that he learned it from Yue Guo, so as not to have a pimple in his heart. However, since he is willing to let Xiahou Rong see it, he is not afraid that he will steal the teacher, or rather, he hopes that Xiahou Rong can find something from what he has done, just like he let Xiahou Hui deal with some government affairs, the ability of these smart young people who have not become very sophisticated to accept new things is amazing, not to mention these new ideas, even if he moves a computer now and gives him a textbook, it is estimated that he will learn faster than the vast majority of young people in the 21st century.

"Youquan, how much do you know about Taoism?" Sun Shao changed the subject.

"Taoist?" Xiahou Rong was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Sun Shao meant exactly. Taoism is the general source of Chinese academics, the Yellow Emperor Laozi, collectively known as Huang Lao academics, is the root of Taoism, but also the source of the art of war, Confucianism, Yin and Yang, immortals, and immortals, but now Taoism is not only Huang Lao, more and more elements of the immortals, in the world and the folk have formed two styles of learning, scholars to talk about Xuan reasoning, and the folk is mainly based on Fu Shui, witchcraft, of course, there are many factions to talk about Xuan reasoning, each does not obey each other, that is, there are many kinds of folk, like Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao and Zhang Lu's Tianshi Dao are Taoist branches, But there is a big difference between them, Zhang Jiao's Taiping believes in the Taiping Sutra, while Zhang Lu's Heavenly Master Tao believes in Lao Tzu's five thousand words, and when you talk about it, the difference is big.

"Hmm......" Sun Shao touched his chin and thought for a moment: "It's the Buddhism of Tianzhu, which focuses on reasoning and practice." ”

"Yes." Xiahou Rong said with a smile: "Brother Boren (Xiahou Shang) is familiar with Lao Tzu, and he also knows all the techniques of health preservation in the room. Taichu was influenced by him, and what he said to Tan Xuan was also very enlightened. ”

Sun Shao patted his head, he really forgot about these two people.

"In addition, Uncle He Yan and Uncle He Ping, the uncle of the late general, are also good at talking about Xuan, these two people are more familiar to me, and I also know some of the other people who are good at talking about Xuan, but I don't have much contact with them, whether they are really talented and learned, or they are vain, I don't know very well."

"There's one more person." Yang Xiu stroked his beard and interjected: "Cai Yan Cai, everyone." Youquan, don't forget, most of these people who can talk about mystery now have a direct or indirect relationship with Cai Bojiao. Cai Bojiao learned Confucianism and Taoism, and also the art of war, although he passed on many disciples, but it was his daughter Cai who could really pass it on. ”

"That's true." Xiahou Rong slapped his palms and laughed loudly: "It's still Lord Yang who is well-informed, since everyone Cai returned to Yecheng, they have lived in a simple place, and I didn't think of her for a while." ”

"Actually, it's not just Cai. The sister of the Cai family, is the one who married Taishan Yang, although the knowledge is not as good as the Cai family, but compared with the average person, it is still very good, the Yangfu family has a history, but the Cai family has lost power for many years, and the Yangfu has always respected the Cai family, but it is not just the love of husband and wife. ”

Sun Shao quietly listened to them say that those celebrities in the Central Plains, Yang Xiu is a famous noble son, and he is very familiar with the situation of each family, Xiahou Rong is an upstart, and he is also very familiar with the younger generation.

"Since it comes to Cai Bojiao, there is one person who can't help but mention." Yang Xiu suddenly remembered something, turned to Sun Shao and said: "There were 10,000 books in Cai Bo's house back then, and later they were all given to Wang Cang, and after Wang Cang's death, these books belonged to his son. After the Cai family returned to Yecheng, they once asked someone to ask the Wang family for these books, but the Wang family did not return them, and later Wang Cang's two sons were killed because of the Wei sarcasm case, and the whereabouts of these books are unknown. Youquan, you can check whether these books are still in the Wang family, or whether they have been confiscated by the deputy prime minister. There should be a lot of Cai Bojiao's unique insights, if you can take a look, it will definitely make people open. ”

Xiahou Rong nodded again and again.

"Your Highness wants to deal with Futu with Taoism?" Yang Xiu turned his head and returned to the original topic. Sun Shao nodded, but Yang Xiu disagreed: "What is the difference between talking about Xuan and reasoning and the demons and monsters of Tianzhu Futu?" One harm is easy to harm, and it is not necessarily clever. ”

"What does Dezu think?" Sun Shao said with a smile, in fact, he didn't need to ask, he could guess Yang Xiu's answer, just out of politeness, and he also wanted to hear his opinion.

Yang Xiu knew that Sun Shao's smile was disapproving, but he still poked and poked and said: "Then it is needless to say, if you don't need to put the words of a ready-made sage, what kind of Taoist is you looking for, isn't it sacrificing your roots to seek the end?" ”

"The words of the sages that Dezu said are the Analects or the Six Classics? Or are they those tirades that are now 10,000 or 100,000 words at every turn? Well, if you look at mathematics alone, the number of Confucian scriptures can be compared with Buddhism. ”

"How can this compare to quantity?" Yang Xiu blurted out: "The sage classics, all the subtle words and righteousness are in them, how can they be compared with those absurd floating words?" King, you've been listening to that bhikshuni too much lately. ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Shao couldn't help laughing out loud, this Yang Xiu is not less smart than his old son Yang Biao, and his sharpness is excessive, but he is not mellow enough, and he is still a lot worse than Yang Biao's old and spicy wrist, no wonder he will be killed by Lao Cao in history, but his old son Yang Biao can not cooperate with the Cao family, but can live peacefully until old age.

"Dezu, have you read the Buddhist scriptures?" Sun Shao asked with a smile.

"Nope." Yang Xiu's words were as sharp as a knife: "What is there to read about that kind of nonsense, it's just demagogy." Not only do I not know how to read, but if possible, I would like to burn it clean. ”

Sun Shao was stunned, how could this guy be as violent as the Western missionaries who had just arrived in Maya.

Just when they were talking about some Taoism and Buddhism, the battle was nearing the end, Zhou Xun and Zhuge Zhi held Feroz hostage and issued an order for the Tianzhu Shui Division to surrender, and the chaotic Tianzhu Shui Shi reluctantly accepted his fate in the face of the powerful force of the Yue State Shui Shi, laid down his arms and surrendered. The soldiers who had fled ashore were captured by Zhou Yin and others who were waiting on the shore, and more than a dozen warships broke out of the encirclement among the sailors, Cui Qian had already sent people to chase after them, and the other Tianzhu sailors were here, more than 300 warships had lost their lives, but more than 200 supply ships were intact, all of which were cheap Sun Shao, nearly 20,000 soldiers were killed in more than 5,000 battles, more than 3,000 were seriously injured, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were all captured. On the one hand, Sun Shao ordered to camp in the place that had been chosen on the shore, and on the other hand, he sent people to inform the Shan king Yongyukai that the battle between the head of the man had ended, and asked them to rush here to accept mediation.

At the same time, the merchant ships, which had been waiting for two months, set sail, riding the increasingly strong north wind, under the escort of Zhuge Zhi and Zhou Xun'er, prepared to cross the Bay of Bengal and go straight to the opposite island of Ceylon. This time, Zhuge Zhi first had the merit of contribution, and then he had the great merit of Feroz with Zhou Xun, and was promoted to the general of Ceylon, adding 500 households, and increasing the number of his subordinates to 2,000 people. His subordinates have increased to 1,500 people, and this time he went to Ceylon as Zhuge Zhi's deputy, Ceylon is at war, and there will be no shortage of opportunities to make meritorious contributions, and he will soon be able to surpass his younger brother Zhou Yin.

Together with Zhuge Zhi and Zhou Xun, there is also the partial general Dunwu, this time he also has merit, adding 500 households, and there are 200 households from the standard of 1,000 households, and there are 1,200 people under him. He is Sun Shao's general, but he has been a guard battalion by Sun Shao's side before, and there are not many opportunities to go to the battlefield.

At the end of the month, the envoys of the Shan and the Biao rushed to the mouth of the sea to accept Sun Shao's mediation.

(To be continued)
