Sun Feng, Lu Xun, Cao Zhang and others sat around the big tent, talking and laughing.
"I didn't expect a talent like General Cao to be so desperate." Sun Feng smiled and raised his glass to Cao Zhi. When Sun Shao was agitated in public, Cao Zhi was the first to stand up and support him, and he was very grateful to Cao Zhi. From the time he was a child, Daqiao taught him to read the poems of the Cao family father and son, to be honest, at first he only knew that Cao Zhi's poems were good, but he didn't know how good they were. It's a pity that Cao Zhi doesn't write poetry now, he wants to fight and make meritorious contributions, and he doesn't have the heart to write any more poems.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." Cao Zhi is also in a good mood, he has traveled thousands of miles, and finally made some contributions, although these credits are not cut with a war knife, and there are still a little regrets, but it is better than only watching people fight and be greedy. He said a few words with rare modesty: "I just happened to meet it, even if I don't go to see it, the prince will find out." He laughed twice, and then quipped: "If you want to talk about death, where do I dare to compare with the crown prince, with dozens of Jotun warriors dare to fight hard with the heavy knights of the Sassanids, this courage is fascinating." ”
Sun Feng smiled silently: "This is all Nikolai and their good cooperation, not my credit alone, and this is also in a hurry, I may not dare to do this now." ”
"The prince is a good martial artist, and he can dominate the world." Cao Zhang put down his wine glass and asked suspiciously: "I know that your Sun family has been proficient in martial arts for several generations, and I have also tried your father's skills, but to be honest, he is slightly taller than me at most, but your martial arts...... Did you start working hard since you were a child? ”
Sun Bong smiled. He didn't understand this matter, most of his martial arts were taught by the master, but the master said that he was greatly advanced in martial arts after being ordered by his father, but the strange thing is that although his father's martial arts are very exquisite, they are not as good as him, I heard the eldest mother say that his father's martial arts were also reborn after that serious illness and entered a new realm, including the Tai Chi he began to practice since he was a child. Up to now, he still didn't understand who this Tai Chi master was, and occasionally asked his father, who either smiled and said nothing, or talked about him left and right. This matter is mysterious, and the people who know about it are very limited, and of course he will not tell Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang's martial arts are also good, firstly, it is related to his innate divine power, and secondly, it is inseparable from perennial unremitting exercise, but according to Sun Feng's current realm, most of Cao Zhang's martial arts are still in the stage of practicing muscles and bones outside, and refining one breath inside can only be regarded as an entry, compared with ordinary people, he may be regarded as a master among the masters, after all, there are very few people who can have his strength, but there is still a certain distance from his martial arts that are cultivated both inside and outside.
"Yes, since I could walk, I was taught martial arts by my father and my mother, and later I was ordered by my grandfather. It can be said that I am a lucky person on the way to learn martial arts. ”
Cao Zhang smiled enviously. Sun Feng is right, he is indeed a lucky person. Several generations of the Sun family are all strong in martial arts, from Sun Jian, who is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, to Sun Ce, who is known as the little overlord, and then to Sun Shao, they are all warriors who are one in a million, Sun Feng's veins are flowing with the blood of warriors, the Sun family not only has many male warriors, but also women often have brave people, Sun Shangxiang and Sun Luban are all strange women who do not let their eyebrows, and even his wife Sun is stronger than ordinary women, but there is no opportunity to show. And Sun Feng is not only a strong father, but his mother is also a famous tiger girl, and his grandfather Guan Yu is a famous bear and tiger general, who can bring together the advantages of so many people, looking at it, there is only Sun Feng today.
"You're so lucky you're jealous." Cao Zhi laughed, picked up the wine glass, walked in front of Sun Feng with a little floating steps, and leaned next to him casually: "That's why I support you, with your luck, let me also have a good fight, and get out of the sulking in Guanzhong all these years." Your father pit me, he said at the beginning, he entered the Western Regions from the sea, and my Wei Kingdom entered the Western Regions, attacking from two sides, first leveling the Kushan people, and then going west to compete with Sassanid Rome, who would have thought that we have now become allies with the Kushan people. Alas, the information I spent four or five years collecting was all in vain. ”
Cao Zhi patted his thigh and regretted it, and when everyone saw it, they couldn't help laughing. There are no Kushans here, and there are no Romans, they don't have to worry about anything, anyway, they all know that the creed of Sun Shao, the king of Yue, is that there are only eternal interests, no eternal allies. Outside the borders of the Han Dynasty, the Romans and Kushans are only temporary friends, and the possibility of war in the future is really not small. Rome is a little better, it has a vast territory, although the recent civil strife has not stopped, but after all, it is a hundred-foot worm, although it is still dead, it seems that the force is not very strong, but the cohesion of the people is still strong, even if it is a temporary defeat, they can still summon an astonishing number of armies to fight, but the Kushan is not, they establish the country by force, in the process of long-term conquest, they themselves do not have an advanced civilization, nor can they absorb the civilization of the vanquished, only by force of control, now they are rotten internally, and there are stronger enemies outside, their decline will be very rapid at the beginning, and the possibility of being eaten by others is very large.
Although Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, Li Yan and others may not all have the same ideas, their levels of knowledge are almost the same, and they are all excited about the direction that Sun Shao's actions can roughly guess. Especially Cao Zhang, the Kushan people are nomadic people, and the main force is also cavalry, and if you want to deal with such a country, cavalry must be indispensable. The Vietnamese have advanced seafaring technology and can transport large numbers of troops over long distances, but cavalry has always been their shortcoming. This time Sun Shao asked the Kushan people to come to the Caspian Sea, and it seemed that the Caspian Sea was of no use, but Cao Chang felt something else, he suspected that Sun Shao was actually asking for the pastures around the Caspian Sea: he was going to develop cavalry.
Are these arrangements of Sun Shao complicated? In fact, it's not complicated at all, to put it bluntly, it's still the same set of techniques for long-distance and close attack. Cao Chang believed that he could see it clearly, so he had been thinking about whether he should also limit the Yue Kingdom's attempts in cavalry when helping Sun Shao fight against the Sassanids and Kushans?
Lu Xun glanced at Cao Zhang, and under Cao Zhang's bold smile, he felt a kind of worry. He smiled slightly, but did not speak, just drank quietly.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, now that the Sassanid gates have been burned to the ground, it is a good opportunity for us to attack, why don't we seize the opportunity to attack, but retreat and give the enemy a chance to breathe?" Li Yan asked with some puzzlement: "Although the benevolent are invincible, but above the battle array, if you miss the fighter, it will be unkind to yourself." Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still pinned his hopes on Ardashir's surrender? ”
"Yes, what if he still doesn't surrender and uses such weapons against us in turn?" Cao Zhi was also very worried: "After all, they are also very familiar with this kind of paraffin oil, I think Ardashir must have hoarded a lot in the city, but they didn't expect this kind of use." Now that they know, how can they still let us do it alone? ”
Sun Feng sighed softly: "Everyone, why don't I understand this truth? Ardashir gave up the defense of the outlying cities and let us drive straight until the city of Tessie was blocked, do you think he is really powerless to defend and can only be trapped in the lonely city? ”
Li Yan and Cao Zhi were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Li Yan suddenly realized, shook his head with a wry smile, but Cao Zhi stroked his hand in surprise: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is saying that even if we break through the city gate, if we can't subdue its heart, what awaits us will inevitably be a vicious battle?" ”
"Zijian is not only a poet in the world, but also a rare match in the way of using soldiers. Yang Dezu admires you so much, you are really a discerning person. Lu Xun praised it, raised his wine glass and gestured to Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi smiled, quickly picked up the cup from the case, raised his hands and frowned and smiled: "I said General Lu, it's a bit unkind for you to say that." If I were really rare, would I still ask such a question? ”
"Not really." Lu Xun shook his head: "In fact, there are similarities between being a general and writing poetry, using soldiers to arrange a formation is like making words and sentences, the usual truth everyone understands, each person's style may be slightly different, but the gap is not big, the difference between a master and a mediocre hand is whether you can understand the subtleties in common things, just as you can use a word or allusion that others can't think of, or just a different sound, the realm is very different." Your poems are well written, aren't they also written in words that ordinary people know? But why can't we write it, only you can? Lu Xun stood up, walked in front of Cao Zhi with a wine glass, and gently patted him on the shoulder: "Zijian, work hard!" In time, you will be no less than your father Cao Gong's generation of famous generals. ”
Cao Zhi sighed with emotion, he used to be a good heir in Cao Ying's mind, and therefore became a thorn in Cao Pi's side, but unfortunately he was not Cao Pi's opponent in terms of power schemes, and he was defeated in the end, if Cao Pi hadn't died early and failed to succeed to the throne, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened to him. He and Cao Pi have been brothers and rivals for so many years, and they still have some understanding of Cao Pi's temper, and the more sincere he laughs, the deeper the resentment in his heart, and the more cruel the revenge will be in the future.
After the failure of the competition, he felt extremely resentful of his poetic talent, what is the use of being talented? It's not that you've been tricked around, if you want to succeed, you need scheming, not talent. He doesn't write poetry now, he just doesn't want others to regard him as a scholar anymore, but after writing poems for so many years, there are so many emotions that want to be turned into poems to erupt, how can he control it, obviously he has desires but can't show them, his depression can be imagined. Lu Xun's words suddenly cleared the confusion in his heart, and it turned out that writing poetry and using soldiers were not contradictory.
"I am so vulgar and ugly that I dare to compare with my father. I am honored to be able to fight side by side with the father and son of King Yue, General Lu and General Li, and to see more of the demeanor of famous generals. Cao Zhi said modestly: "So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to attack the heart, not just the city?" ”
"Heroes see the same thing." Sun Bong laughed. "I estimate that there are no less than 30,000 to 40,000 Sassanid soldiers in the city, as well as a large number of mercenaries and civilians, if we just break through the city, we will face a tragic street battle with no victors, even if we take the city of Ctessi, what can we do? Is that what we are hoping for, apparently not. Therefore, it is their hearts that we are really attacking, and we must work together to make them lose confidence and fighting spirit, and finally surrender to us and give us a city that is as complete as possible. ”
"Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top." Li Yan chewed on these two sentences, and suddenly remembered Ma Yan's words, and couldn't help blushing. When he left Chengdu, Ma Tan, as a close confidant of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, sent him to the beach of Panyue, and before sending him on the Yue warship, Ma Tan once said such things to him. But to be honest, Li Yan doesn't like Zhuge Liang, and of course he doesn't like Zhuge Liang's confidant Ma Yan, and he always thinks that this scholar will only talk about it. In the months that followed, he only occasionally remembered Ma Tan's words, which were also used as evidence of his disdain. But now that he heard the plan of Sun Feng and others, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have been wrong about Ma Jian all along, and that he was able to graduate with excellent grades from the Funan Lecture Martial Arts Hall, which was full of talents, which proved that he was not in vain.
"General Li's words are really groundbreaking. We think so, but whether or not we can make it happen depends on your strong support. Sun Feng held the cup in both hands, looked around, and made a salute to everyone. Cao Zhang and the others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly raised their glasses together to return the salute. Cao Zhang said angrily: "Since we came at the invitation of the King of Yue, we naturally have to work together with the prince, there is no Northern Army here, there is no Wei Army, Shu Army and Yue Army, we are the Han Army." He clenched his fist and slapped his chest hard: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty is mighty and invincible, drink this cup together." ”
Everyone responded excitedly and loudly: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty is mighty and invincible." Dry! ”
"!"
"!"
They were of the same mind, and at this moment, they both temporarily abandoned their selfish distractions, and in order to be able to take down a Ctesiphon as complete as possible, they offered advice and inspired each other, and talked lively for a while. Yanghu pushed open the tent door and walked in, and when he saw the excitement inside, he was stunned for a moment, and then put an official document in his hand into his arms, walked up to Sun Feng with a smile, and made a look. Sun Feng nodded, didn't say anything, just glanced at Lu Xun. Lu Xun smiled slightly, and continued to laugh with Cao Zhang and the others, discussing how to continue to subdue the thoughts of the Sassanids.
In the middle of the night, the matter was almost discussed, Cao Zhang and the others retreated, and Du Yu sent them out of the tent. Lu Xun stayed, and Yang Hu handed the secret letter in his arms to Sun Feng and took a look at it, frowned, thought for a moment, and handed it to Lu Xun again. Lu Xun read it and gently put the secret letter on the case: "Prince, what are you going to do?" ”
Sun Feng didn't answer him, raised his head and said to Yanghu and Du Yu, "What do you think? ”
Yanghu and Du Pre glanced at each other, and Du Pre said: "My subordinates think that this matter is better to report to the king and let the king make a decision." ”
Yang Hu nodded in agreement.
Sun Feng looked at Lu Xun.
Lu Xun smiled: "Both of them are handsome, and their future prospects are limitless." He turned to Sun Feng and said, "The minister also thinks so, it is better to leave this matter to the king." ”
"Since all three of you see it this way, then I have no opinion, uncle, you should go to your father's camp at once, and hand over this secret letter to your father's own hands. Also, tell your father about the situation here. ”
"Whoa." Yang Hu bowed and promised.
…… Sun Shao gently put down the secret letter, his brows locked into a pimple, he let out a long sigh, and was silent for a long time before saying: "I know, you tell the prince, let him command the war with peace of mind, and I will handle the affairs of Wu State." With the queen here, the East China Sea Fleet, the South China Sea Fleet, and the Funan Fleet are all there, and they will not get out of control. Reassure him. ”
Yang Hu nodded, bowed down and retreated, Sun Shao sat for a long time, and then clapped his hands when he told Ao Lei to put away the secret letter. As soon as the door of the back tent was lifted, Momia walked out from behind, sat down leaning on Sun Shao, leaned on Sun Shao's shoulder and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you have encountered something that is difficult to solve?" ”
Sun Shao smiled and stretched out his hand to take Momia in his arms: "It's nothing, it's just that my uncle didn't know what confusion he had made, and he actually wanted to re-establish the crown prince, and my brother was stupid again, in order not to embarrass his father, he actually committed suicide." ”
Momia Dai frowned: "How can this be?" Between father and son, is that so? ”
Sun Shao stroked Momia's shoulder: "Do you think that every father thinks about his son like me?" At this point, there are really few people who can stay awake. My uncle, though wise, did wrong in such a matter. ”
Momia laughed, raised her head to look at Sun Shao, reached out and pinched his nose, and said angrily: "I know that you have done a lot for Philip, I know it in my heart." ”
"Just knowing? Don't you have a little bit to say? Sun Shao chuckled softly, and his hand slowly climbed to Momia's chest. Momia groaned and whispered, "Am I not here?" Let you take it, I just hope that the king can take pity on me and don't let me make a fool of myself. ”
"Ugly? How have you ever made a fool of yourself? Sun Shao lowered his head and kissed Momia's face: "When did you not leave satisfied?" You say, is Quintus as strong as me? ”
"You, you are still a dignified King of Yue, are you ashamed to say such a thing?" Momia stretched out a finger and poked Sun Shao's forehead fiercely.
"What's there to be ashamed of?" Sun Shao laughed.
