Although Sun Deng longed for Sun Quan's concern, he didn't dare to woo Sun Quan, on the one hand, because of his nature, and on the other hand, because he knew that Sun Quan had been annoying recently.

From the Battle of Xiangyang, no, it should be far from the Battle of Fangling, Pan Zhang's rescue of Meng Da, Wei Ba has become a nightmare for Wu State. He was like a fly, flying above Wu Guo's head all the time, laughing at the incompetence of Wu Guojun and his ministers unscrupulously, humiliating Wu Guojun and Sun Quan.

In the battle of Fangling, Wei Ba beat Pan Zhang, and Wu's rescue of Fangling was almost nothing.

In the battle of Xiangyang, Wei Ba led the Wei army to cross the Han River with iron horses, the Wu army suffered heavy losses, Sun Wei died on the battlefield, and Wu made a wedding dress for people and suffered heavy losses.

begged for marriage, Wei Ba refused to marry, and Sun Quan's father and daughter had no light on their faces. Xiling design, originally wanted to catch Wei Ba, but Wei Ba escaped from Yiyuan, and also kidnapped the princess Sun Luban, which directly caused the Wuling disaster, and since then, the confrontation between Wei Ba and Wu has become clear.

In the battle of Wuling, Buqi, Pan Jun and other heavy generals were defeated, Lü Dai was killed in battle, and the Wu army suffered heavy losses and was forced to cede Wuling.

The battle was strict, the battle was in He, the most famous general of the Wu State, the pillar of the empire Lu Xun was defeated, the Wu State conceded the seven counties of Jiaozhou, as well as Lingling and Guiyang, and the soldiers of Wei Ba almost annexed the entire Jiangnan. Although Changsha is still in the hands of Wu Guo, this slap hit the face of Wu Guojun and his ministers loudly.

There is no one in the Wu Kingdom who does not feel that his face is hot, and as the supreme ruler of the Wu State, Sun Quan has of course suffered the most humiliation.

This is even more uncomfortable than being deceived by Liu Bei back then, and this is even more angry than being rejected by Guan Yu. This is even more shameful than being forced to bow to Cao Pi due to the situation.

However, what made Sun Quan even more desperate was a deep helplessness. When Liu Bei deceived him and Guan Yu rejected him, he still had Lu Meng, who could use force to seize Jingzhou, and when he bowed to Cao Pi, Lu Xun rushed left and right for him to kill, rejected Liu Bei, and defeated Cao Pi. But now. Lu Xun was also defeated by Wei Ba's men, who else could resist the aggressive Wei Ba for him?

If no one could stop Wei Ba, these humiliations would be far from over.

Once upon a time, Sun Quan always thought that there were three kingdoms in the world. Cao Wei is the strongest. Shu Han is the weakest. Wu Guoju in the middle. Because Wu did not have a formed cavalry, he could not compete with Cao Wei for the Central Plains, so he could only succumb to it. Now the situation has suddenly changed. Shu Han occupied Guanzhong, and captured most of the south of the Yangtze River, has fought half of the world, as if it is the most powerful country in the Three Kingdoms, but Wu has become the weakest one, and the recent war is even more shameful to death, from beginning to end, the entire Wu State was crushed by Wei Ba, and there was no power to fight back.

This is even more unacceptable than the loss of Cao Wei Guanzhong.

In tackling key problems in Shu Han, it is the strength of the whole country. The state of Wu lost a large area of land, but only because of Wei Ba alone.

Sun Quan's heart is so good.

In this case, it would be strange if Sun Deng dared to disturb Sun Quan.

Sun Deng was lying on the sickbed in the East Palace, groggy. Gu Tan stayed by the side and sighed from time to time. There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Sun Deng barely opened his eyes and watched Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xiu walk in side by side.

Zhang Cheng is already fifty years old, and his years of military camp career have made him a little more majestic in addition to elegance. When Sun Deng saw him, he hurriedly got up. Zhang Cheng looked at his sick appearance, and his brows furrowed slightly. After the two finished the ceremony, Zhang Cheng said: "Your Highness, your illness has not healed and you can't get cold, so let's go to the couch and lie down first." ”

Sun Deng had a fever for a few days, and he was weak, and he had been extremely uncomfortable when he got up to salute just now, if it weren't for years of etiquette training that made him dare not be rude, he really didn't want to get up. Zhang Cheng became famous as a young man, and became good friends with Zhuge Jin, Buqi and others, and later served as the governor of Wei, General Fenwei, although he was in the military camp, he was the leader in the Shilin, and his prestige was very comparable. Like Xie Jing next to Sun Deng, Zhang Cheng took a fancy to him. Sun Deng didn't dare to be rude in front of him.

Sun Deng motioned for Zhang Cheng to serve wine, and asked, "Why did Mr. rush to Wuchang?" ”

Zhang Cheng's face was a little gloomy, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "I came here by edict, and the king transferred me to Yiyang because of the lack of troops in Changsha. ”

Sun Deng was taken aback: "What about the wet beard?" ”

If the Wei army breaks through the Weiwu army, it will soon be able to enter the Yangtze River and directly attack Moling.

"The Wei army abandoned Hefei, and the main force retreated to Shouchun."

Sun Deng understood something in a trance. Cao Wei's situation was not good, so he could only make peace with Eastern Wu and retreat the defense line again, and Sun Quan was able to transfer Zhang Cheng, who was guarding the beard, to the front line in Changsha. In the first battle of Linhe, Lu Xun's elite was lost, and now there are only more than 3,000 parts left, morale is low, and there are differences with Sun Quan in strategy, so it is no longer suitable to be in Jingzhou. Yiyang was originally guarded by the left general Zhuge Jin, assisted by Zhou Yin and others, but now Zhou Yin has been demoted, Zhuge Jin is obviously not a good general, of course he has to be replaced. Zhang Cheng is the son of Zhang Zhao, he is from the Jianghuai system, and he is friendly with Buqi, Zhuge Jin and others, and he is in charge of the war, Sun Quan should be the most assured.

"That gentleman is going to suffer."

"For the country and the family, this is what a minister should do." Zhang Cheng replied without hesitation: "I am willing to encourage His Highness." ”

Sun Deng looked at Zhang Cheng with some doubts. Zhang Xiu, who was sitting next to Zhang Cheng, coughed: "Your Highness, in order to let His Highness understand the war, the king intends to send His Highness to Yiyang to supervise the war." He had consulted his father on this matter, and although he had some different opinions, he also felt that the king's consideration was reasonable. His Royal Highness is the most important person in the world, and he should not only learn how to govern the country, but also know some things about attacking and fighting. Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, must not be overlooked. ”

Sun Deng was stunned, he stared at Zhang Xiu's eyes, and did not speak for a long time. He heard the subtext from Zhang Xiu's words. First of all, his father was not satisfied with his current ability and wanted to send him to the front to exercise; Secondly, Zhang Zhao had objections to this matter, but he could not disobey Sun Quan's pressure. Who is Zhang Zhao, Sun Deng knows very well that the contradiction between him and his father is probably not as simple as a disagreement, maybe it is a violent conflict. And this, he knows nothing. It is up to Brother Zhang Cheng to tell himself.

His palace and the main hall where his father was located were only a hundred steps away, but there was an invisible gap between him and his father.

……

Wancheng.

The spring breeze blows the earth, and although it is still a little chilly, it is no longer as biting as in winter. Cao Rui, dressed in a short shirt and barefoot, walked down the field and picked up the plough pulled by a single ox.

The plough commonly used in the Han Dynasty was a plough pulled by two oxen, which was coordinated by two or three people, and the liliang was very large and the efficiency was okay. But now. The Three Kingdoms campaign was stalemate. It has reached the point of testing the logistical supply capabilities of both sides, and heavy agriculture is already the top priority in whether it can maintain the fate of the dynasty, in this case, Cao Rui spent a lot of Liliang detective Shu Han's intelligence. Among them, the improvement of agricultural tools is almost as careful as the improvement of weapons.

Cao Rui now knows. As a genius in mechanics. Wei Ba's talent in agricultural implements was as amazing as his talent in ordnance, and his invention of the iron plough and iron plough doubled the productivity of Hanzhong. It was precisely because of the substantial increase in grain production in Hanzhong that Zhuge Liang was able to send troops again in such a short period of time. It is precisely because of the large-scale promotion of these new agricultural tools throughout the Shu Han that the grain output of the Shu Han can support the two-front battle of the army. Otherwise, even if Wei Ba took Jiaozhou, the total amount of grain would not be able to supply such a large number of troops for a long time.

Fortunately, farm tools are not like weapons, and as long as you put a little effort into it, you can steal jishu. Coupled with a mechanical genius like Ma Jun, who was not inferior to Wei Ba, the improvement of Wei's agricultural tools was also rapidly carried out under Cao Rui's implementation. After many years of the war, the serious lack of population made the advantages of the new jishu highlighted, even if the war was tense, Cao Rui still drew a considerable amount of iron to build new agricultural tools, and he also personally went to the field to support the plow, in order to show the meaning of heavy farming.

He had done all these things before, but this time it was no longer symbolic. In order to compete with Shu Han for hegemony in the world, Cao Rui's psychology is the same as Sun Quan's, he can't be worse than Wei Ba, he can only do better than Wei Ba. However, Sun Quan himself refused to go to the ground, and his son replaced him, but Cao Rui did not have a son who could do this, so he had to go to the ground himself.

As soon as his foot touched the ground, Cao Rui shivered, and felt even more stinging pain at the bottom of his foot. He had never stepped on such ground barefoot since he was a child. Although I have adapted to the heat and cold in the palace before, the ground in the palace is flat, how can I be so awkward now.

"Bixia, it's better for the minister to do it for you." Chen Wang Cao Zhi stepped forward and said earnestly.

"Uncle Wang, there will be more places for Uncle Lao in the future, this little thing, let's do it myself." Cao Rui gently pushed Cao Zhi's hand away, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang is more than ten years older than me, if Uncle Wang can deserve it, I can't deserve it?" ”

Cao Zhi realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly stepped aside, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say anything more. It was so easy for him to have the opportunity to come to the emperor's side, and maybe he had the opportunity to go to the front line in person, if he offended the emperor's jealousy again at this time, it would be too worthless.

Cao Rui looked at Cao Zhi, who was trembling and walking on thin ice, both a little proud and a little uneasy. Cao Zhi, who has always been flamboyant and unscrupulous, has become so deep and introverted, I don't know if it is a blessing for the country or a disaster for the country. The general Cao Zhen fought in Tongguan, because of his poor health, he could not go to the front line in person, and he was seriously ill, and he could die of illness at any time.

In a hurry, he didn't know if he was doing the right thing or wrong, or if he was a mixed bag. He knew very well that Cao Zhi's arrival in Tongguan could not only replace Cao Zhen, but also ease the tension between the Cao Wei clan and the royal family, and give full play to the liliang of the Cao clan. But to let Cao Zhi, a strong opponent who almost took away his father's crown prince back then, be in charge of the army, if he is not careful, he may dig his own grave.

Because of this, Cao Rui had to be careful, and he was testing Cao Zhi all the time. Judging from the current situation, Cao Zhi, who is nearly forty years old and has experienced ten years of imprisonment, is no longer the young man who is a scholar, but his change did not reassure Cao Rui, but made him even more worried.

Cao Rui held the plow, waved the whip in his hand, the whip exploded, the strong ploughing ox took a step forward, the iron plough moved, Cao Rui suddenly did not hold steady, his feet staggered, and he almost fell into the field. He hurriedly took a step, but he took a bigger step, and kicked his foot on the iron plow, and suddenly his skin and flesh opened, and the blood flowed profusely.

The ministers were shocked and hurriedly hugged them. Cao Rui's face was a little pale, but his expression was very calm. He looked around, his eyes fell on Cao Zhi's face, and said with a faint smile: "What's the panic, Uncle Wang, you can help me bandage it, wrap it thicker, just enough to wear as shoes." Hurry up, I'll continue plowing the fields. ”

Cao Zhi hesitated, took off his robe, knelt on the ground, held Cao Rui's feet in his arms, and carefully wrapped Cao Rui's injured feet. (To be continued......)
