Sun Luban walked into Wuchang Palace with a high spirit. Twenty female guards stopped at the bottom of the steps, stood with their swords, Sun Luban took a big lift, jumped up three steps in one step, and stood in front of Sun Quan who had just come out.

"Father!" Sun Lubanjiao pounced on him with a smile, hugging Sun Quan's neck, but tears came out of his eyes. "Father, you've lost weight."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's hard to buy old and thin." Sun Quan patted Sun Luban's back and said with a smile: "Let go, let go, the ministers will see it and die again." ”

Sun Luban let go of his hand, wiped his tears with the corner of his sleeve, and lowered his head in shame: "Father, I didn't get what you wanted." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Sun Quan smiled and pulled Sun Luban into the hall, walked all the way to the case, and hooked his finger at Gu Li who was standing aside. Gu Li turned around and disappeared in the curtain, and after a while, he took out a small model and carefully placed it on the table.

Sun Luban looked at it and said puzzledly: "This is ......"

"A model of a stone bullet to make a roulette wheel." Sun Quan said with a little smugness: "The real original design." ”

Sun Luban gasped, clutched his chest, and said after a while: "Father, did you get it?" ”

"Got it." Sun Quan fiddled with the model, with a faint smile on his face: "If Wei Ba doesn't give it to me, I can't help it?" But he is right in one sentence, jishu is a layer of paper, pierced, in fact, it is very simple. ”

Sun Luban glanced at Sun Quan and smiled: "Then I'll rest assured." Father, I will go back to Chengdu with Boren, and I will often be with my aunt in the future. Do you have anything you want me to bring to her? ”

Sun Quan frowned: "Boren wants to go back to Chengdu?" Who is in charge of the Wuling Tomb? ”

"It looks like a flying fox." Sun Luban said happily: "Wei Ba said, this time back in Chengdu, Boren may be promoted again." ”

Sun Quan snorted softly and didn't say anything more. His daughter knew that now he only wanted his husband to become an official, but he didn't realize what was behind the adjustment of Zhao Tong's official position. Wei Ba transferred Zhao Tong from Wuling and returned to Chengdu to take up his post, on the one hand, it may be to strengthen Liliang in Chengdu, and on the other hand, the alliance with Wu has completed the task, and next. He doesn't need to cooperate much with Wu Guo anymore. Therefore, it is inconvenient for Zhao Tong to stay here, and he has to be transferred back to Chengdu.

Kill two birds with one stone, and it will work as a matter of course. This young man is not only clever in his means on the battlefield, but also in the court.

"Since I'm going to Chengdu. I don't know when we will be able to meet in the future. Go and meet your mother. If you have time. Let's go see Xiaohu again. ”

"I see." Sun Luban lowered his head, thinking that the separation was imminent, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach his father in the future. I also felt a little sour in my heart.

Sun Luban went to the harem, Sun Quan fiddled with the model on the case, but his eyes slowly became cold. The production of the stone bullet Jishu was in hand, and Wu Guo's strength had been further improved, and he should have been happy. Unfortunately, he is not happy at all now.

With only stone bullets, it is impossible to realize Wei Ba's new siege tactics, which are too heavy and have insufficient range to achieve the due attack density. The core jishu that can really realize this tactic is not a stone bullet, but a pottery bomb, the kind of pottery bullet that can spontaneously ignite after landing.

However, the production of pottery bullets is only available to Wei Ba in the world, and no one else has it. Wei Ba has always been very wary of Eastern Wu, and he refused to even give the jishu of the stone bullet, let alone the pottery bomb.

In addition to the pottery bomb, the news from Jiaozhou also made Sun Quan uneasy. Wei Ba built a shipyard in Hepu County, which was very fast, and it only took half a year for the shipyard to be put into production. According to the information gathered by Zhou Yi, Wei Ba is currently focusing on building sea ships, which seem to be used by maritime merchants from Hepu to Ninan. However, Sun Quan was worried that these ships could bypass the South China Sea at any time and go east along Huiji and Wujun all the way to the hinterland of Jiangdong.

Will a big ship that can sail on the sea still be afraid of the wind and waves in the Yangtze River? If he couldn't find a way to restrain himself, once Wu Han raised his sword again, Wei Ba might be a sharp knife stuck in his back.

This could not help but make him wary.

Sun Quan walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back and his head down. His back bowed unconsciously, like an overwhelmed old bamboo.

Just past the threshold of knowing the destiny of heaven, his aging speed seems to have suddenly become faster.

Gu Li stood motionless to the side, but there was a little more desolation in his eyes.

……

Auxiliary General's Palace.

Xiao Lu Kang was wearing a decent trumpet samurai uniform, holding a sword trick in one hand and dancing a wooden sword in the other, with a solemn expression.

Lu Xun was also wearing a samurai uniform, with his hands behind his back, standing in the court, his eyes flickering with his son's every move. His expression was calm, his eyes were calm, and his originally dark and thin face was now white and round, faintly feeling like a rich man.

Sun Shucheng sat aside, holding a book in his hand, but his mind was not on the book, his eyes wandering back and forth between his husband and son. This half-year is probably the most peaceful half year for Lu Xun, and it is also the most peaceful half a year. After conquering Kunyang, the Wei army retreated to Yingchuan, and the Wu army was unable to advance again, so it could only be withdrawn, and Lu Xun was ordered to hand over the army to Zhuge Ke and Lu Lan, and then returned to Wuchang to recuperate. After half a year, his physical condition has improved greatly, and even the injured leg is gradually invisible.

Teaching his son Lu Kang to read and practice martial arts every day is when Lu Xun is the happiest.

Lu Kang is seven years old this year, but he has already shown intelligence and tenacity beyond ordinary people, almost a copy of Lu Xun.

Seeing all this, Lu Shucheng's heart rippled with happiness, and although he didn't drink, he felt a little drunk.

"Finish!" Xiao Lu Kang snorted lightly, put away his sword, and bowed to Lu Xun solemnly.

Lu Xun returned the salute and waved his hand. The seriousness on Xiao Lu Kang's face was swept away, revealing a bit of child's unique naughtiness, tilting his head, looking at Lu Xun and saying, "Daddy, how is my sword practice?" ”

"A gentleman is like a sword, walking straight." Lu Xun touched Lu Kang's head, took the cloth towel from the maid's hand, wiped the sweat beads from Lu Kang's face, and said, "Winter practice thirty-nine." Summer practice is doggy, endure what ordinary people can't endure, and only then can you achieve what ordinary people can't achieve. Just as steel is refined, it is indestructible. ”

Lu Xun said, bending his fingers and flicking the long sword, the sword was like a dragon.

"Xiexie Daddy's teachings, boys should keep it in mind and always remember it."

Lu Xun was about to say a few more words, when he raised his head and subconsciously bowed to salute: "I didn't know that the king was coming." I beg the King to forgive your sins. ”

Sun Shucheng and Lu Kang turned around and looked. saw Sun Quan standing at the door of the atrium in a regular suit, and only Gu Li stood behind him. They didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up.

"Meet the King."

Sun Quan smiled and walked slowly in front of them. looked down at Sun Shucheng: "What." Won't you call your uncle at home? ”

Sun Shucheng said in a low voice: "Respect and humility are not forgotten. Even if it is at home, you should first do the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and then the etiquette of the uncle and nephew. Please sit down, uncle. I'm going to get ready. ”

"Don't bother." Sun Quan waved his hand, "Just boil some water, I brought my own wine and food, and I had a drink with Bo Yan." ”

Sun Shucheng pulled the landing resistance and left. Sun Quan looked at Lu Kang's small back, and he was a little distracted, until they disappeared outside the door, he turned his head and said to Lu Xun: "Bo Yan, my nephew will be a general in the future, but I don't know who he will be fighting for at that time." ”

Lu Xun raised his eyebrows: "King, you are ......"

Sun Quan raised his hand, interrupted Lu Xun's explanation, walked back and forth in the courtyard for a few steps, returned to Lu Xun's face, raised his head, and looked at Lu Xun's gaze: "Bo Yan, you tell me the truth, how many years do you think Da Wu can have in the country?" ”

Lu Xun groaned, not knowing how to explain.

Sun Quan was not in a hurry, and continued to take care of himself: "Zhuge Liang rewarded farming in Guanzhong, and after Liangzhou started, the source of war horses was solved, and he established a cavalry of 10,000 people. You know, it's not that he doesn't have enough horses to build more cavalry, he doesn't have enough people. Zhuge Liang is well-trained, in just a few years, his foot soldiers can sweep Longyou, who knows that in a few years, his cavalry will not be able to dominate the world? This is mixed news for us. ”

Lu Xun listened quietly.

"Zhuge Liang will soon attack Bingzhou, but Li Yan has no use. In order to compete with Zhuge Liang, I was worried that he would raise his sword against me. Sun Quan let out a long breath: "Bo Yan, I'm very worried, Wei has not died at the hands of Zhuge Liang, we have died at the hands of Li Yan and Wei Ba first. ”

Lu Xun said lightly: "King, you are too worried. ”

"Why did Bo Yan say that?" Sun Quan turned his head and stared at Lu Xun with a pair of blue eyes, without blinking.

Lu Xun bowed and said unhurriedly: "Although the Wei State has been defeated in a row, its strength is still there. Zhuge Liang is newly awarded Longyou, even if he has a war horse, even if he is good at training, if he does not have three or five years of accumulation and rushes out troops, it will be difficult for him to have an overwhelming advantage over Wei. When the two are at a standstill, the one who makes good use of the strange wins, and Zhuge Liang is cautious all his life, and the use of the strange is not his strength, and Wei Yan, who is the best at surprise under his command, is in Liangzhou, who else can take on this heavy responsibility? ”

Sun Quan's eyes tightened slightly, and he bowed slightly, agreeing with Lu Xun's analysis. He believed that Zhuge Liang would not use Wei Yan, not only because Wei Yan was in Liangzhou, but because the Wei family's strength in the army was too strong, the father and son, a general of Zhenxi, a general of Zhennan, and a general of Dangkou, for any person in power, such a family is worthy of vigilance. In other words, Zhuge Liang transferred Wei Yan to Liangzhou, perhaps for the purpose of suppressing Wei Yan.

"If Zhuge Liang wants to break the deadlock, he can only hope that the king will attack Qingxu and contain the forces of Wei. In this case, it is impossible for him to condone Li Yan and Wei Ba to destroy the alliance, and if necessary, he will also support our army and strengthen the strength of our army in order to curb Li Yan's ambitions and strengthen the alliance. And Li Yanxian is good at military affairs, he will not fail to see this. Therefore, he will not rush to send troops. Even if he wasn't content to wait, Wei Ba wouldn't rush into action before he was ready. ”

Lu Xun bowed, his tone steady but sincere.

"Your Majesty, this is a crisis, but also an opportunity. The gentleman saw the opportunity. If we can seize the time of the past few years, take advantage of the internal discord in Shu, and make great efforts, we are not without the possibility of self-preservation. Don't miss the opportunity, it's time to come, King. ”…… (To be continued......)
