Chapter 72: A Glimmer of Life (1)
Inside Wu Guotian's prison.
Sun Quan leaned on the stool, quietly looking at Lu Xun who was lying on the ground watching the map, only to see the beads of sweat slipping down from Lu Xun's sideburns, and after a while, he had already soaked the map, just smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, this is a ten-sided desperate array, Quan Cong moved without authorization, and now it is irretrievable, as I expected, Your Majesty should have no news from the front line for half a month, right?" ”
Sun Quan nodded when he heard this, and then said: "But as Bo Yan expected, then do I want to watch all these 100,000 athletes be sent away by this Quan Cong?" ”
Lu Xun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister just has something unclear. ”
"Say it."
Lu Xun frowned slightly, and replied: "Your Majesty, it seems that the current situation is clearly that Li Xian divided the criminal ministers and His Majesty by dividing the sinners, but if this Li Xian's formation design is so wonderful, why didn't he implement it when the sinner was there, then this strategy must have his flaws, but the sinner has not understood it for the time being." ”
Sun Quan got up suddenly and said bluntly: "Bo Yan, you and I know each other, how can we be divided by a sentence or two from others, and it is my fault to secretly send Aiqing to prison!" I hope that General Boyan will take the lives of these 100,000 Jiangdong sons as the most important, and if he loses this battle, the loss will be no less than that of Shuzhiyiling! Please also teach me General Boyan! ”
When Lu Xun heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! The loyalty of the minister can be seen every day, and the minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust! And Rong Chen is watching the map in detail, even if there is only a glimmer of life, I, Lu Xun, should do my best! ”
After that, Lu Xun hurriedly climbed to the edge of the map, his eyebrows continued to wrinkle, as if he was about to twist into a twist, and while thinking, countless beads of sweat had already slipped from his forehead, although Sun Quan was anxious, he had no way to interrupt him, so he had to sit down on the chair and wait for Lu Xun to finish thinking about countermeasures.
It is true that some people's command talent and strategic vision are by no means within the reach of ordinary people, sometimes experience is really worthless in the face of talent, just like Liu Bei, who has been in the middle of his life, meets the fledgling Lu Xun, the two clash, the former was defeated and lost, if it were not for the later Zhuge Liang who defied the mandate of heaven to attack and defend, and forcibly continued his life for Ji Han, I am afraid that after this Yiling, within ten years, he will face the end of the dynasty.
"I see!" Lu Xun stood up suddenly.
Sun Quan, who was almost asleep, was instantly awakened by Lu Xun's movement, and he was also overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Bo Yan!" Bo Yan! There is a solution! ”
"Your Majesty! There are flaws in any strategy, and this flaw is me! Then Lu Xun pointed to the map and said: "Now Li Xiantun's soldiers are in Yiling, the elite of the Bai'er soldiers are in the three counties of Yidu, Sun Huan is trapped in Shimen Mountain, as I expected, he should only be able to carry fifteen days of dry food, that is, we must force Li Xian to withdraw within these fifteen days, otherwise, General Sun Huan will be starved to death in Shimen Mountain, now the 70,000 Wu army, the most critical and safest way to retreat, is to withdraw from the Qutang Gorge, as I expected, this Qutang Gorge, the Shu army's sailors alone can not lock the gorge, unless.....”
Sun Quan's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "Unless what?" ”
"Unless there are strong bows and crossbows on the hills on both sides, otherwise, according to General Ling Tong's experience in water warfare, he will definitely be able to rush out easily. If you can break the archers on this mountain, you can make these sailors return to Gangneung, but ....."
Sun Quan frowned, only felt that Lu Xun's analysis was extremely good, although he didn't know the soldiers, but Lu Xun's words now were indeed something that he could think of and understand, but Lu Xun's sudden turn of events made his heart tighten, and he immediately asked: "But what?" ”
"However, Quan Cong poured out, and the Jiangling garrison was less than 2,000, if all these 2,000 soldiers were dispatched to make a detour to the Qutang Gorge Pass to raid, then Li Xian was by no means a nameless person, if he set up an ambush in the mountain pass, he was afraid that he would not even be able to protect Jiangling." Lu Xun said.
Sun Quan only felt his scalp tingle after hearing this, and continued to ask, "What is the clever plan of that Boyan?" ”
"Abandon ship!" Lu Xun said two words firmly.
Sun Quan was dumbfounded, and immediately said: "Bo Yan! Do you know that these twenty-six iron-masked ghost ships are the blood and sweat of many people in the six counties and eighty-one prefectures of my Jiangdong? If you abandon the ship, the decades of business between me and the people of Jiangdong will be ruined! Do you know! ”
When Lu Xun heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty!" This is an extraordinary time! Our army can only have this glimmer of life if it abandons ship! The whole army tried its best to occupy the Qutang Gorge Pass by land, so that it could return to Jiangling safely, otherwise our army would all become ghosts in the river! ”
Sun Quan paced, thought for a long time, and said: "If you abandon the ships, this Shu Han will get these ships, go down the river, and then attack Jiangling and Jingnan, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings!" Bo Yan, is this law still up for debate? ”
"Your Majesty! The ship is an object, how can it be the weight of Jiangdong Erlang's life? Even if General Ling Tong can rush out of the Qutang Gorge desperately, how many warships can come out! ”
Sun Quan continued to pace back and forth, and said: "Can't you let the army of the whole Cong department go to the mouth of Qutang Gorge to directly attack the Shu army on the top of the mountain, so that you can relieve our army's predicament?" ”
Lu Xun shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, if Quan Cong leads the army to attack the Qutang Gorge Pass, then Li Yan is by no means an idle person, and he will definitely let Xu Zhen and Zhao Tong raid from the city. ”
"Can you abandon the ship and rush to the mouth of the gorge? If there were no naval armies on the river, wouldn't this archer only have to attack this infantry army, and wouldn't it be more difficult to attack the mountain pass at that time? Sun Quan was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, the abandonment of the ship that the minister said is not really abandoning the ship, but abandoning but not abandoning." Lu Xun said with a serious face.
Sun Quan didn't know much about soldiers, but this sentence of abandoning but not abandoning was instantly blinded to him, and he said for a while: "What does Bo Yan mean, what does it mean to abandon but not abandon?" ”
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of General Tai Shici's strategy to hide from the sky and the sea in the past?" Lu Xun asked.
Sun Quan nodded, and said: "I have heard of it, it is ...... to be a human being" As he was speaking, this Sun Quan was like being opened up to the second vein of Ren Du, and he instantly understood.
"Bo Yan! You are truly a godsend, Han believes in me! Sun Quan was instantly overjoyed, then retracted his expression, and said: "Bo Yan, if you can get out of trouble with these 70,000 Wu troops in this battle, this Jiangling Marquis will be yours." ”
Lu Xun shook his head and said suddenly: "Your Majesty! The ministers are never rare for these fame and fortune, and the minister's wish is that His Majesty will unify the rivers and mountains, clear thousands of miles, and total the eight wildernesses, and seal the marquis in my Lu Xun, and the name is also false, and the minister only wishes to be able to gallop in front of His Majesty's horse, and his liver and brain will be smeared on the ground. ”
Sun Quan listened, sighed, and immediately helped him up: "Bo Yan..... I have failed you..."
......
The next day, above the palace of Wu Kingdom.
"The general Quan Cong, who did not obey the general's orders, sent troops privately, causing the whole army to fall into a heavy siege, and now he has added Lu Xun as the Marquis of Jiangling, the general of the chariot cavalry, and commanded the soldiers of Jingzhou to rescue Quan Cong!"
"The last will be ordered!" Lu Xun gave up his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what else is going on?" Sun Quan said, glancing around.
But the crown prince Sun He stepped forward and said: "Enlighten the father and emperor, between the ministers and merchants, and get a different person, named Sun Chong, who prides himself on being the talent of Lu Buwei, and recommends it to His Majesty!" ”
Sun Quan listened, frowned slightly, and said, "Where is this person?" ”
"It's just outside the temple."
"Pass him up to the temple."
"Xuansun Chong's Palace!"
Sun Chong tidied up his clothes, strode up to the palace of Wu Kingdom, knelt on the ground and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Flat!"
"Emperor Xie!"
Sun Quan said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. has a talent that is not good, I don't know what treasure Mr. has brought to my Jiangdong?" ”
"Minister, Sun Chong, I am here to help Your Majesty gather the royal power and conquer the world." Sun Chong arched his hand and said.
Sun Quan was very interested when he heard this, and asked, "How can Mr. help me?" ”
Sun Chong arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty! Now Jiangdong follows the example of Wei to implement the Nine Grades Official Law, and the minister feels that this law is not perfect, so he specially brings His Majesty the method of selecting talents through the imperial examination! ”
As soon as these words came out, the main hall became noisy in an instant, and many scholars had already begun to look gloomy, but they saw that Sun Chong only smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't care at all.
"Your Majesty! This person is deceiving the public, he should be killed! But I saw a doctor stand up and point at Sun Chongyan.
"Why did Doctor Bu say this, the grass people are just for the prosperity of my Wu country, and the talents are prosperous, what reason should be killed, even if you oppose it, you should have some arguments, how can there be a doctor who should kill and behead, do you think this is a military camp? His Majesty didn't speak, is it the turn of Doctor Bu to give orders? Or does Doctor Bu think that everyone in the Shi clan can already be above His Majesty! Sun Chong said with a sneer.
Some words actually choked Bu Zhi to death, but this Sun Quan was still expressionless, and just raised his hand slightly: "Okay, Mr. Sun actually said it, this step doctor and the step family are old ministers of the two dynasties, I still have to be a little jealous, you just said that you want to argue for your method of selecting talents in the imperial examination, and you say, how is this method better than the Nine Rank Official Law?" ”
Only then did Sun Chong raise the guard plate and said: "Your Majesty, the law of the Nine Rank Officials divides people into three, six, nine and other categories and selects them from them, won't the scholars of the Hanmen have the pearls of the countryside?" Could it be that the high position and power of this minister should be monopolized by one surname? Your Majesty, if this law is implemented throughout the country, the minister dares to say that in a few years, my Wu country will inevitably be full of talents, and Your Majesty will naturally be able to collect the royal power and make the world! ”
A few smiles suddenly appeared on Sun Quan's face, and he immediately asked, "Which other doctor wants to come forward to refute one or two?" ”
But Bu Zhi, who saw it, stepped forward again and said: "Your Majesty, this son is a demon to confuse the public, we Jiangdong scholars are all willing to die for Your Majesty, how can this rural villager know about the world's major events?" If it is true that people who are immoral and incompetent occupy high positions, will it not bring disaster to the country and the people? ”
Sun Chong continued to say in the front words: "Doctor Bu, this is a bad word, in the past, Jiang Taigong was fishing in Weishui, and he was also a people's husband, Han Xin was born in the army, but he was able to defeat Xiang Yu, if all the talents in the world are in the Shi clan, how can there be a great man in the past?" Doctor Bu also asked to think twice. ”
Bu Zhi only felt that the sky was spinning, and he immediately raised the guard plate and smashed it down towards Sun Chong's head and face.
Sun Chong didn't dodge, hurriedly protected his forehead, and said with a smile: "It turns out that this is the amount of the Jiangdong Shi clan!" Your Majesty, Rong Chen retires! The minister originally admired His Majesty's name and came from thousands of miles to serve, but he didn't expect it to end up like this. ”
Sun Quan couldn't hold back in the end, and said: "Buzhi, this is the main hall, not a place for you to scatter and fight!" Go down! ”
Bu Zhi immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty! Don't be deceived by this villain! If this law is successful, it will be a disaster for more than 2,000 years, and how can the world's scholars determine their character based on just one scroll! Your Majesty think twice! ”
"Pull it down, Doctor Bu is drunk today!" Sun Quan immediately ordered.
Bu Zhi looked at the armor who was going to the hall, and immediately shouted: "No need, the old minister will come by himself!" But he saw Bu Zhi slowly take off the black veil on his head, laughed and walked out of the hall, still scolding: "Traitor! Traitor! ”
Sun Quan settled down and said: "Mr. Sun, I'm really sorry, you have come thousands of miles to vote, I am not an unkind person, today I will make you a waiter, you go back to the post house to rest first!" ”
Sun Chong knelt down to thank him, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”
