When Lu Xun met Sun Shao, Sun Shao was invited to visit the snow-capped mountains in the north of Panyue, accompanied by Feiluozi, the king of Zhuluozuo, the king of Panyue, Mabang, the king of Shan, Yongyoukai, and the king of Shan, Tuzhen, as well as the king of Faqiang, Atura, who rushed to hear the news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Artula learned from the mouth of the people of Panyue that there was a new Yangon city in the lower reaches of Lijiang, a large number of merchants gathered here, purchased the mountain goods of various tribes, and brought novelty items from outside, and had always been more interested, but his tribe made a living from nomadism, not good at boats, and it was not easy to walk to Yangon on foot, this time I heard that the king of Yue was coming, he brought a few good horses, a snow leopard, came to Panyue over the mountains and mountains, dedicated to Sun Shao, and proposed to take the merchant ships of the Yue country to Yangon to trade, Or ask the Yue people to set up a business stack here in Panyue. Sun Shao happily agreed, and decided to open the trade route all the way to Panyue Kingdom, and Artura was overjoyed, so that the Faqiang people could increase their wealth a lot every year.

In fact, Artura doesn't mention it, Sun Shao will also set up a point here, after taking Panyue, there is a possibility of dealing with the southwest trade road with Shu, with the smooth rectification of the trade road, it will become a very important pass, how can he easily hand it over to others.

"I didn't expect such scenery to exist in the wilderness." Lu Xun looked at the towering snow-capped mountains, wrapped the big clouds on his body, and said with emotion. When I landed on the beach, it was still a hot summer, and I walked only more than two hundred miles to the north, and it was actually bitterly cold here, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, Lu Xun wouldn't have believed it anyway.

"What is this, if you walk more than ten miles north and enter the mountain, it will be dripping into ice." Sun Shao was in a good mood, and even deceived him, not only deceived Lu Xun, but also brought more than 30,000 people, although most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled miscellaneous soldiers, and Sun Quan was so stingy that he didn't even match weapons and armor, but after all, there were more than 30,000 men.

"Not really, right?" Lu Xun said half a sentence, looked at the snowy mountains in the mist, and swallowed the second half of the sentence back. He spent the summer in Kuanglu Mountain, knowing that the mountains are cooler than the plains, and the higher the mountain, the colder it is, but even if the Kuanglu Mountain in midsummer reaches the top, it is only about the same as autumn at most, and there is no mountain in front of him even if the snow does not melt all year round in the hot summer.

"This mountain is so high!" Han Zong exclaimed, much higher than Kuanglu Mountain.

"Snort-" Gan Pi snorted disdainfully with his nostrils: "What is Kuanglu Mountain, when you come here, you can't even count as a small character, and any mountain is higher than it." ”

Han Zong's face sank, and he was very unhappy. As soon as he entered the territory of Funan, he felt the arrogance of the Yue people, Gan Pi was originally a good friend with him, but he couldn't hide his contempt for the Wu army in his words, and he was a little unconvinced when he looked at people as if he was looking at people with his nostrils, but the fact is that here, in addition to Lu Xun and He Jing's subordinates, they are all similar to Huazi, Sun Quan seized all the weapons under the pretext that Sun Shao would equip them with better equipment, I can't wait to peel off all the military uniforms on their bodies, compared with the well-equipped Vietnamese army, they really don't have the ability to be arrogant, but this doesn't mean that he can't express his anger.

Cheng Zhi was also not happy, but he didn't speak, like his father Cheng Pu, his surname is relatively gentle, and he doesn't like to argue with people in person, but instead pulled Han Zong's sleeve, signaling him not to be too rash, Wu Guo can't go back, and he will have to mix in Yue Country in the future, Gan Pei followed Sun Shao very early, and now he is the Funan Governor who is responsible for the security of Temu City, and his father's old department Chen Hai is the right general of Yue Guo, and he has enough qualifications to be angry.

Lu Xun glanced at Gan Pi and the others who were arguing behind him with the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth was raised: "The morale of the Yue country is very high." ”

Sun Shao pretended not to understand, and replied: "Since leaving the division, there have been few provocations, and the soldiers are a little arrogant, and there is still a need for the generals to show their strength, let them see what the real famous general's demeanor is, lest they sit in the well and watch the sky, and have nothing to spare." ”

Lu Xun glanced at him in surprise, he was a reinforcement brought by Sun Shao, and he himself was invited by Sun Shao after thinking of many ways, why did Sun Shao give him such an attitude of not yin and yang as soon as he met? He smiled silently, thought for a moment, and said, "When is the king going to send out the army, where to attack first, and does he have a strategy?" ”

"The strategy is there, and the grain and grass have been prepared for a long time, but when to start the attack depends on when the general can adapt to the terrain here." Sun Shao smiled: "Dare to ask the general, how long will it take you to start marching?" ”

Lu Xun frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "I need to know about the relevant situation." ”

Sun Shao nodded, it is not unreasonable for Lu Xun to become a famous general, at any time, he will not act impulsively because of anger, this is the most rare character of a general, many people are not without talent, but they often can't restrain themselves, and often forget the most basic criteria when they are angry, just like a high-level chess player who makes a faint move after being provoked.

"I immediately sent someone to send the relevant maps and materials to my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law read it slowly and was not in a hurry." Sun Shao changed his gentle tone and said with a smile: "You have worked hard from afar, so let's take a good rest first and enjoy the scenery of my country." ”

Lu Xun nodded calmly, and there was no trace of joy or anger on his face.

"Does my brother-in-law know what that place is?" Sun Shao pointed to the northeast and asked, with a strange complicated expression on his face, but Lu Xun didn't notice it, he followed Sun Shao's finger and looked forward, and what he saw was a reckless mountain forest.

"Yongchang County of Shu?"

"Well, the Qiong staff that Zhang Qian saw in Great Xia back then entered Tianzhu from here, and then transferred to Great Xia. A stick can be resold for thousands of miles and profitable, and the brother-in-law can imagine the important surname of this trade route. After so many years, it is no different from what Zhang Qian saw back then, such a big project was stopped because of Gongsun Hong's words, which is really a pity. ”

"Not really, Emperor Xiaowu conquered the Quartet, exhausted the army, and the world was in turmoil, and Prime Minister Gongsun Cheng made the people rest in peace with a word, and he was also a meritorious person." Lu Xun shook his head, smiled disapprovingly, and then said: "I heard your third sister say that you like to read Lao Tzu, didn't Lao Tzu say that you can rule by doing nothing, but it was Emperor Xiaowu who changed the policy of ruling by doing nothing in the early Han Dynasty." ”

"Governing by inaction is only suitable for small countries and widows." Sun Shao shook his head again and again: "To rule the world, you can't mess around, but you can't rule by choking on food and advocating inaction." If you don't do anything, won't the world be even more chaotic? Governance still has to be cured, but it must be governed by the way, and you can't pat your head indiscriminately. I'm not saying that Gongsun Hong's result is wrong, but I don't think it's right for him to make such a hasty decision, and if he were my prime minister, I would definitely let him go home and raise pigs. ”

Lu Xun was stunned, he was stunned for a while before he asked, "Then what is the Tao?" ”

"This, you have to ask the scholars of Zhuya Academy, you also have to ask Yu Zhongxiang and the Peng Shi of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you have to ask your sister Boji, I believe they will give you different answers, but you will find out in the end that in fact, they are all expounding from different angles. Tianzhu people believe in Buddhism, and the Buddha has a saying that is very reasonable, the same flower, in the eyes of different people, he is different. ”

Sun Shao smiled mysteriously, looking at the mountains in the distance, his heart was full of happiness. He was not happy to argue with Lu Xun, and he didn't believe that these two sentences could convince Lu Xun, but he was happy that, according to his superficial geographical knowledge, his feet should be within the range of the McMahon Line on the Sino-Indian border 1,800 years later, and in that history that has gradually faded into the depths of memory, this land is Chinese on the map of China, but it is Indian on the map of foreign countries, and it is also Indian who actually occupies this land. He didn't know how much truth there was before and after, but he was standing here now steadily, and with only one messenger, he included this place in his sphere of influence, Indians? Lao Tzu fused him first to see what else he could do.

Late at night, Lu Xun spread out a few documents under the bright fish oil candle, Luo Tong hung a large-size map on the bulkhead, and then put down a white cotton cloth to cover the map, twisted his fingers on the soft cotton cloth, and praised enviously: "King Yue is really good to the general, such a good cotton cloth is actually used to cover the map." ”

There is a famous kudzu cloth in Huiji, which is woven from kudzu hemp, and is famous for being delicate and soft than ordinary hemp, but compared with cotton cloth, the kudzu cloth still looks a little hard. After Sun Shao occupied Funan, a large number of cotton cloth was purchased from Tianzhu and resold to the Central Plains, although it was not more expensive than Ge cloth in Tianzhu, but the merchants knew that the truth was that things were scarce and expensive, plus the cost of long-distance transportation, it was much more expensive than Ge cloth in Wu State, and Luo Tong also bought cotton cloth, which was also used as a valuable.

"Tianzhu produces cotton, and it is so close to Tianzhu here, of course it is cheap." Lu Xun didn't raise his head, his eyes seemed to be glued to the documents on the case, Luo Tong looked at him, and a snickering smile appeared on his face. He knew that Lu Xun was not happy to come to Yue Guo, although he also had the subjective desire to make meritorious contributions, but objectively he was driven out by Sun Quan, and he had an instinctive rejection of helping Yue Guo fight, and he was not very enthusiastic, but now that he was so attentive to the documents provided by Yue Guo, it was conceivable that his mind had changed inadvertently.

Luo Tong didn't speak, picked up a silver pot that was obviously in Roman style, poured a cup of coffee for Lu Xun, and gently placed it in Lu Xun's hand, a faint bitter fragrance spread in the air. As if telepathic, Lu Xun reached out and took the cup to his mouth, sniffed, and then withdrew his eyes from the document, glanced at the black liquid in the cup, raised his eyebrows, but didn't think too much, took a sip carefully, and immediately frowned.

"What is this, so bitter?"

The widow who had been waiting outside the cabin replied outside the door: "General Hui, this is a drink from the Great Qin people, called coffee, which can refresh your mind." The king was worried that the general would be busy until late, so he specially asked for it, and if the general was not used to it, the slave maid immediately went to change other drinks for the general. ”

Lu Xun and Luo Tong exchanged a look in unison, feeling that Sun Shao had long known that Lu Xun would be attracted by these documents, and even a refreshing drink was ready. Lu Xun was distracted for a moment, shook his head, took another sip of coffee, and buried his head in the document again. Luo Tong waved his hand at the widow. The widow bowed obediently, and knocked her head lightly on the floor: "If you have any needs, please feel free to command, and the slave and maid will serve outside the door." ”

Luo Tong smiled and shook his head: "King Yue is really considerate to the general, and even the maid is ready." ”

Lu Xun snorted, tapped the documents on the case with his fingers, quickly flipped through them, and then picked up one of them, quickly walked to the map, picked up the cotton cloth with one hand, and quickly roamed the map with his eyes, his expression was focused, as if he had found something. Luo Tong hurriedly rushed up, pulling a cotton cloth in one hand and an oil candle in the other. Lu Xun freed up a hand, Bai Chen's finger pointed to the location of the country on the map, and then slowly swiped across the map, the hard callus left on the fingertips of the sword for many years rubbed against the thick paper, making a "rustling" sound. Luo Tong unconsciously held his breath, watched Lu Xun's fingers draw a long arc, and finally stopped in one place.

Lu Xun tapped the dot lightly, revealing a smile: "What a big stroke." ”

"General?" Luo Tong looked at Lu Xun puzzled, he was confused by Lu Xun.

"Distant friends and close attacks, the weak attack, the strong tired, this is by no means a whim, but a grand plan for ten or twenty years, or even thirty or fifty years." Lu Xun lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard, his eyes showed a strange look, and the whole person was full of strength.

"Such a big plan?" Luo Tong opened his mouth in surprise: "Then we ...... Isn't it ......?"

"You still want to go back?" Lu Xun smiled.

Luo Tong thought about it and smiled, he shook his head: "I knew this earlier, so I moved my family back to Wuxi." After a while, he put away his smile again, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't King Yue going to go west with the general of the chariot cavalry, how can it be a big plan for ten or twenty years?" ”

"The Western Expedition is just a purpose, his purpose is to swallow the whole Tianzhu. Tianzhu is bigger than Yueguo, and it is right to swallow big with small and plan for the long term. Lu Xun also put away his smile and nodded very seriously: "I'm not afraid that he will drag on for a long time, what I'm most worried about is that he is in a hurry and ruined the good situation." ”

"In less than a year, he is a victorious general who will win every battle, and it is really rare to have such a forbearance surname." Luo Tong sighed with emotion: "King Yue seems to be talking and laughing, but I didn't expect my thoughts to be so far-reaching, no wonder Yue Guo has been thousands of miles over the years." ”

Lu Xun nodded thoughtfully.

Not far from Lu Xunzao's ship, on Sun Shao's Eagle Yang ship, Sun Shao and Yang Xiu sat opposite each other, and the game of chess on the case was nearing the end, and Yang Xiu's would be blocked in the Nine Palaces by Sun Shao's cart and horse, unable to move. Yang Xiu stared at the chessboard, racked his brains and thought for a long time, and finally put down the chess pieces in his hand weakly and threw them on the chessboard with a "bang".

"The minister lost again."

"Hehe......" Sun Shao smiled and hooked his fingers, and Yesudhara came over with a Sinhalese maid holding the case, and delivered the two cups of coconut milk on the case to them. Sun Shao smiled: "Drink some coconut milk, calm your nerves, and go to bed early." You are too tired during this time, you must pay attention to your body, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and you have seen people's hearts for a long time, you are only in your forties, and you will see white hair, but it is not the way to maintain health. He took a sip of coconut milk and said with a narrow smile: "Isn't it that the two Zhuluo women are too powerful?" ”

Yang Xiu's face turned red, he drank all the coconut milk in one gulp, and he didn't want him, licked his lips, leaned back, pushed open the pane and glanced into the distance, and the cool sea breeze rushed in: "King, General Lu is still fighting at night, but you are going to sleep?" ”

"He has something to do, he should stay up late, I'm fine, of course I have to rest early." Sun Shao stood up disapprovingly and waved his sleeves: "I don't want to accompany you, wouldn't it be a waste to always play chess with your chess basket on such a good night." Jesudra, let's go back and let him review here alone. ”

Hearing this, Yesudhara pursed his lips and smiled, got up and confessed, and followed Sun Shao with small steps. Yang Xiu shook his head with a smile, took away a few chess pieces on the chessboard, and thought about it to himself.

"King, such a good night, can you sleep outside?" Yesudra followed behind Sun Shao, pulling Sun Shao's arm and shaking it gently, and said coquettishly. Sun Shao looked back at her and frowned: "You're not afraid of others seeing it?" This is a barracks, not a royal palace. ”

Jesudra stuck out his tongue: "The king's ship is high, and others can't see it." ”

"Then there are the guards on the watchtower, they have clairvoyance in their hands, let alone people, I'm afraid you can even see a few moles on your buttocks. Besides, it's not good to suffer from night dew, and it will leave the root of the disease in the future. Sun Shao lowered his voice and smiled: "Forget it, let's go to sleep in the cabin, it's a big deal to open the window to let in the air, and then make a curtain and install it on the top in a while." ”

Special Mu City, He Jing followed behind a Peng official, slowly paced into the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of people coming and going, endless, everyone was in a hurry, and when they met acquaintances, they just nodded and passed by, few stopped to say hello, there were people who had something to talk about were under the side porch next to them, where there were a few stone cases on the side, covered with bamboo mats, some were reviewing the documents to be reported after a while, some were discussing something around the stone case, some were fighting for red faces, and one of them had jumped up, pointed at the other party's nose and scolded angrily, and it felt like rushing up to fight.

He Jing turned his head and smiled at He Qian, who was accompanying him: "Every time you come, is Gong Yu so busy?" ”

He Zhen nodded: "Of course." I have no idle three princes and nine secretaries of the country, the Prime Minister's Mansion keeps settling accounts, arranging tasks, and the Imperial History Mansion keeps processing all kinds of reports, looking for evidence of various illegal acts, and will be even busier than the Great Craftsman Temple, it is said that those people in the Academy of Art sometimes stay awake all night for several days in a row, and so many new objects are so busy one by one. ”

"Isn't it exhausting people by doing this?"

"So the king ordered that they should be forced to take a day off every five days, and those who were not in good health were forced to stop working indefinitely." He Zhen said with a smile: "Those people eat well, live well, and have Doctor Dong and his disciples to take care of them, and their health will not be bad." Haven't you seen some of them too? ”

He Jingxin echoed the same jaw, because he led the troops all the year round, the He family was more extravagant, his eating habits were not very good, and he had some hidden diseases over the years, after arriving in Funan, He Zhi was ordered by his father He Da to pick him up, and when he saw his very bleak face because of seasickness, he persuaded him to stay in Temu City for a period of time and sent him to Dong Feng of Funan College for treatment. He Jing lived in Funan Academy for a few days and met many strange people, including many craftsmen and master craftsmen of the Academy of Arts that He Zhen said, although they were all busy, they all seemed to be in good spirits, and none of them were sick. Especially that kind of energy, so that He Jing, who has lived without hope for many years, feels very fresh, whether the people of Yue Country are poor or rich, whether they are high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they seem to have enough confidence in the future life, and believe that life will get better and better.

"Zhongtu (He Jing), you look good." Yu Fan strode out of it, bringing a gust of wind, he patted He Jing's shoulder vigorously, and laughed loudly: "Doctor Dong's methods are good, right?" But I think you have to be careful not to drink so much. Although the wine is good, it is a poison that pierces the intestines. ”

"Thank you Gong Yu for the reminder." He Jing bowed politely, and was very greedy for Yu Xuan's sturdiness. Yu Fu and his father He Qi are people of the same generation, He Qi has died of illness, and Yu Fan, who is a few years old in He Qi, is still in the prime of life.

"You go to the side hall to rest first, I'll come after I've dealt with the few things at hand, don't leave at noon today, let's have a working meal in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it can't be compared with your He family's food, but the taste is still good."

"Okay, don't disturb Gong Yu, I'll go to the front and have a cup of tea." He Jing withdrew with interest, sat down in the side hall of the hospitality, and Yu An, the third son of Yu Xuan, came out to accompany him. Yu An is a few years younger than He Jing, and he used to follow his two brothers to listen to them talk to He Jing, but now he has grown into a handsome young man.

"Shiping (Yu An), you're about to come out, right?" There were no other elders present, He Jing comfortably leaned on a few and asked with a relaxed smile.

"After the New Year, I went to study at the military academy, and then joined the army." Yu An greeted He Jing for tea and replied.

"You're also going to join the army?" He Jing sipped his tea, glanced at Yu An with some surprise, and suddenly smiled: "Is it true that Yue Guo's son is also the son of the prime minister who also has to serve in the military?" ”

"Han men in the Yue Kingdom, unless they are disabled, must serve in the army for three years, without exception." Yu An smiled faintly: "The son of the king is no exception, let alone the son of the prime minister." The difference between the children of the nobility and the children of the common people is that before joining the army, they must study at least one year in the military academy to learn the basics of military science. If you intend to join the army, after three years in the army, you will have to go back to the military academy for further study to learn more advanced military theories and related knowledge. He raised his head and looked at He Jing: "In the Yue Kingdom, the smartest people go to the academy of arts, and the bravest people go to the academy of war. ”

"So serious?" He Jing blinked in disbelief.

"Do I dare to speak empty words in front of my brother?" Yu An grinned: "The king has a famous saying, to be a real nobleman, you must not have money and power, but you must have a civilized mind and a barbaric body, with these two things, even if he is penniless, he is also a nobleman, if he only has inherited the title and wealth, he is at best just an insignificant parasite, nothing but tarnishing the reputation of his ancestors." ”
