Chapter 16 Win without a fight

"What does Lu Xun want to do?" Sun Quan threw down the invitation angrily and called his name directly. He always valued Lu Xun very much. Even behind his back, he called his name instead of his name directly. He was really a little angry today.

"Maybe the general wants to go to Yueguo." Sun Deng had regained his composure for a moment and said lightly, "Now that there is nothing wrong with the State of Wu, a famous general like a general has no place to use, and it is also uncomfortable to be idle." As he spoke, he suddenly smiled bitterly and raised his hand to wipe his nose, as if he remembered something interesting. When Sun Quan saw it, he couldn't help but be a little unhappy. Lu Xun, who had always kept a low profile, made him very disappointed. If he wanted to go to Yue, he would be even more disappointed. Among the four surnames of Wu County, he has always been good to Lu Xun, but Lu Xun wants to leave the State of Wu?

The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more angry he became. Lu Xun pulled it up with one hand, and now he actually wants to betray him?

"Zigao, are you happy that Lu Xun is going to Yue?" Sun Quan said in a low voice.

"No, father, I remember what happened in Lukou."

"Lukou, what's the matter with Lukou?" Sun Quan's eyebrows were twisted into pimples, and he was on the verge of an outbreak.

"It's like this." Sun Deng was not in a hurry and said something. It turned out that when he was in Lukou, Zhuge Ke once chatted with Xie Jing about the theory of Liu Wei's first punishment and then etiquette. Xie Jing agreed with this statement, saying that he used heavy pawns in troubled times. At this time, he should pay attention to spells and strict decrees in order to get rid of chaos and counter-rules. It happened that Lu Xun heard this. At that time, Lu Xun lowered his face and scolded Xie Jing in front of Sun Deng. He said that the truth proved by the centuries-old history of the Han family. Liu Wei only focuses on trivial matters and disrupts the religion of the saints, which is a harbinger of the subjugation of the country. It is precisely because of the lack of etiquette that the world is in such a mess. How can it be punished first and then polite? If you assist the prince, you should abide by benevolence and righteousness and show your virtue. These words that are not elegant should not be listened to, let alone told to the prince. Then he said a lot about Zhuge Ke, which was nothing more than saying that they did not do the right way to assist the prince, which made Sun Deng very embarrassed at that time.

Sun Quan listened and sneered: "Most of the clothes and etiquette are empty, and his mouth is beautiful. I don't know what he is thinking in his heart."

Sun Deng shook his head with a sigh and didn't say anything. The father and son were silent for a moment, and Sun Quan said again, "Zigao, do you think we should let him go?"

Sun Deng thought for a while before saying, "Since he has the intention to go, I'm afraid it's unreasonable to force him to stay. What's more, tens of thousands of troops went to Vietnam to help the war this time. If there is no famous person sitting in the town, I'm afraid it won't be long before they will be divided and gnawed away by their brothers. If the general is asked to go, he will not ignore his reputation. Anyway, the Lu family is also a descendant of benevolence and righteousness.

"Humph!" Sun Quan snorted disdainfully, but nodded repeatedly: "It's good to let him go, and it also seems that I, the State of Wu, are solemn and there is no joke. Zi Gao, go and tell him that, like He Jing, his part takes 2,000 away, and the rest will be guarded in place, and he will command him when he comes back.

Sun Deng agreed and took this opportunity to deprive Lu Xun and others of their strength. A few years later, if you come back, those people have already been subdued by the court. If you don't come back, it will be more justifiable. Of course, if you don't want to go because of this, you can't blame others.

Sun Deng did not go directly to Lu Xun, but Luo Tong and gently expressed Sun Quan's meaning. Luo Tong agreed that after participating in the full moon drink, he stayed for an excuse. As soon as Lu Xun looked at his look, he knew that he had something to say and asked him to invite him to the study. After seeing off a few important guests, Lu Xun rushed to the study. Luo Tong was looking through the New Mountain and Sea Sutra, a new book on the desk. Hearing Lu Xun's footsteps, Luo Tong looked up at him and smiled, "The general is so elegant."

"I have nothing to do, it's just a pastime." Lu Xun smiled casually and called for a new tea. Then he sat on the main seat, took a sip of tea, and looked at Luo Tong quietly. Luo Tong was a little embarrassed. He gently put down the book and said bluntly, "The general must also know that the king is going to send the Wu army to assist the Vietnamese army in the expedition to Tianzhu. Tens of thousands of troops can't be led by the general. It's just that the general is responsible for the safety of the country. After years, if something happens in the country, I'm afraid it's not easy for the general to lead the army back.

Lu Xun smiled and still didn't say anything.

"It's better to leave a part of the elite. If there are small things, the generals take care of themselves. If there are big things, the generals rush back quickly, which is faster than the army." Luo Tong looked at Lu Xun carefully for fear that Lu Xun would turn against him. Lu Xun just listened quietly, put down the teacup in his hand, put his hands on his thighs, and looked up at Luo Tong. There seemed to be something on his face, which made Luo Tong feel guilty.

After a while, Lu Xun suddenly said, "Gong Xu, I remember you are from Yue County, right?"

Luo Unification was stunned, and then nodded and said, "I'm a wounded man in Yuejun."

"Although the capital of Yue is no longer in Yue County, Yue County has changed a lot over the years. I heard that the family business of Zhou Yu, Kong and Wei families has doubled several times, but it is much better than you in the State of Wu."

Luo Tong smiled a little lost. Over the years, Wu has nothing to do. Without war achievements, there is no chance to be promoted, so he has always been a middle-aged general. On the contrary, Vietnam has had a series of good news in recent years. The territory of the State of Yue is vast, and Sun Shao is generous. As long as he has merit, he will never be stingy with rewards. If he returns to the State of Yue, he will probably have been promoted to general long ago. Maybe it is possible to be a marquis.

"Gong Xu, go and tell the king that I, Lu Xun, am still the general of the State of Wu. If the king has an order, how dare I not obey? Do I dare to pick three or four?" Lu Xun had a sarcastic smile on his face. He took a sip of tea and chewed a piece of tea in his mouth. The bitterness of the tea slowly soaked into his mouth until it was immersed in his heart. I have no other requirements. I just asked the king to arrange Gongxu in the army, that's all. Gongxu, would you like to do it?"

Luo Tong was overjoyed when he heard the words and quickly bowed to thank him: "Thank you, General, for your help."

"I don't mean anything else. I just heard that you are not in good health. There is a magic doctor Dong Feng in Funan College in Yueguo. Go and ask him to see a doctor." Lu Xun picked up the teacup and motioned. Luo Tong quickly got up and said goodbye. He was full of excitement. Originally, in his case, he was not among the expatriates. Lu Xun wanted to take him away and gave him a very legitimate reason. Presumably Sun Quan would not object.

As Lu Xun estimated, although Sun Quan was reluctant to let Luo Tong go, it was also a good deal to exchange Lu Xun for leaving the house. In May, General Lu Xun, Vice General He Jing, and the supervisor Luo Tong rushed to Qiantang City with more than 20 generals, including Han Zong and Cheng Zi, a total of more than 30,000 troops. The State of Yue had already received the news, and the ship carrying troops had been ready for a long time. As soon as the people arrived, they immediately set sail.

... Pan Yue Guo.

Panyue, also known as Dianyue, is one of the Baiyue Mountains. Like the mourning prisons, Yuyue and Yelang in the state of Shu, they have been living a stable life here. They are blocked by snowy mountains in the north. It is okay for the Qiang people to occasionally come to do business. The army wants to cross the mountains, but they can't. In the east is also deep mountains and forests, and there are cars in the west. In Daguang and other countries, there are the people in the south. There is no special force, and everyone is at peace. Although he has nominally surrendered to Zhu Luo, Zhu Luo is too far away from here to control it. In a few years, he will send someone to deliver some mountain goods, even if he will fulfill his obligations.

So the king of Panyue has never really paid attention to the King of Zhuluo, Ferroz. He was not very clear about the change of Zhuluo to the new king. It was not until the messenger of Salbach rushed to the stockade and said that the King of Zhuluo, Ferroze had surrendered to the people of Yue. Now he came to attack Panyue, he knew about this matter, and then he became popular again.

Although Pan Yue has no filial piety to Zhu Luo, he is not bullied by others. Ferroz himself has become a traitor, but now he wants to take Pan Yue as a meeting gift, which is a contempt for him.

The gangster didn't know that Sarba had cheated him. He didn't know that there were tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops behind Ferroz. He thought that Ferroz was desperate. He wanted to occupy the magpie's nest. After listening to Sarbaha's lie, he immediately agreed. When Ferroz proudly came to Panyue with the messenger of Yue, he pushed the messenger out and cut it down without saying a word, and then made up the strength of the country and chased Ferroz all over the mountains. Thanks to the fact that Ferroz had been a prisoner for more than half a year, he had already become a bird of shock. He was very alert that his surname was particularly high. The messenger did not come back as scheduled, and he was surprised. When he saw Panyue people coming, he turned his head and ran away with the hundred old and weak soldiers.

When he returned to Sun Shao, there was only one Sanjay left beside him.

Sun Shao was furious. He thought that subduing Panyue was just a matter of the situation. Unexpectedly, King Panyue actually killed his messenger, which was much more shameful than killing a few businessmen.

"Does he dare to kill my messenger?" Sun Shao's face turned pale and shouted angrily, "The two countries exchange troops, not to mention that his small Panyue country can't be compared with me at all. I didn't send troops to attack directly. It was already because everyone was Yue people. He was so rude. Do you really think I was not good at fighting?

Ferroz quickly provoked: "Exactly, if the king doesn't kill the gangster, it's not enough to wash away the shame of today. If it is not flat, the Xuan people and the people will despise the king from now on. I'm not talented. Please ask the king to allocate 500 people. I must be the hero's pioneer.

"Hmm." General Chen Hai snorted and turned his eyes: "I have soldiers and generals in Vietnam, and I don't need King Zhu Luo to do it."

Ferroz smiled awkwardly and stood back. Chen Hai walked to the middle and clenched his fist and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the headquarters to attack the enemy immediately."

Sun Shao nodded and was about to speak when Yang Xiu suddenly said, "General Right, have you ever been to Panyue?"

Chen Hai disdained: "Panyue is a small country, the land is only a hundred miles, and the soldiers are only two or three thousand. The king can be captured in one battle. What does it matter if you have been there or not? Does Yang Changshi think that I, Chen Hai, am not an opponent of barbarians?

Yang Xiu smiled and twisted his beard leisurely: "The right general is brave, and his men have 5,000 fierce soldiers like wolves and tigers. There are many achievements in pacing the three Koreans. It is not difficult to defeat the hemp. However, Yang Xiu wanted to remind the general that the king took Panyue not only to take Panyue, but also to communicate with the State of Shu on the basis of Panyue and force the westward. From Panyue to the west, there are dozens of countries, large and small, mostly in the jungle. In case they are scared by the heroism of the general and escape into the deep mountains, then..."

Chen Hai was a little embarrassed when he heard it. He took a look at Sun Shao, who had also calmed down. It is not a problem to defeat Pan Yue, but if you can't take Pan Yue in a relatively peaceful way as before, but conquer it by force, then Pan Yue is likely to become a lingering hidden danger. This is the springboard to attack Tianzhu from land in the future. If you are uneasy here, the westward will become an empty word.

However, now the messengers have been killed by others. If they don't get this face back, can Yueguo still suppress others in the future?

Sun Shao sat down again and asked faintly, "What does Yang Changshi think?"

Yang Xiu bowed and saluted: "I think that the country of Panyue does not understand etiquette and cannot be speculated by common sense. They killed the messenger of the State of Yue without asking indiscriminately, perhaps for other reasons. The barbarians only submit to the power. If they can't subdue them, even if they take Panyue, it will be difficult to be peaceful. I am foolish to see that I should be reasonable and powerful.

"How to understand the reason and control the power?" Chen Hai asked unconvincedly.

"It's very simple. Send another messenger to make an appointment with the king of Yue for a decisive battle, and the victory or defeat will be determined in one battle." Yang Xiu said carelessly, "Let them see the strength of the Yue country, let them see the bravery of General Chen and others, and then give him a chance. Do you worry that he will not be broken and throw himself to the ground?"

"What if I send a messenger and be killed by him again?" Sun Shao asked rhetorical.

"What do the people of Panyue say? Can you understand what we Han people say? Yang Xiu turned his head and asked Ferroz. Ferroz looked at Yang Xiu blankly and shook his head. Sanjay hurriedly picked up and said, "The words of the Panyue people are similar to those of the Yu people. They also have contacts with the Yuyue Kingdom, but they don't communicate well with the Han people. Even if we Tianzhu people go, we usually have to bring messengers who understand the words of the Yu people."

"In that case, please ask the king to come here." Yang Xiu clapped his hand and said with a relaxed smile, "I dare to guarantee that as soon as the king of Qi arrives, the king of Panyue will come out and surrender."

Sun Shao thought about it and smiled. Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so he stopped at the seaside of Panyue and sent people to summon Yong Youkai, the king of Xuan, and Tuzhen, the king of Yu, and asked them to bring troops to help in the battle. Half a month later, Yong Youkai, the king of Shan, arrived with 3,000 people. As soon as he saw Sun Shao, Yong Youkai first thanked Sun Shao for his mediation last year, and then congratulated Sun Shao on his occupation of Ceylon. Sun Shao quickly smiled and explained that I just became a friend of Ceylon and did not capture Ceylon. The king heard it wrong.

Yong Youkai quickly apologized, but he didn't think so. Yue people built a city on Ceylon Island, and it didn't count as occupying Ceylon? However, there is no need for him to argue about this reason. Although the blonde and fair-skinned woman beside Sun Shao doesn't know who she is, she may be an Aryan from Tianzhu. Maybe she is still from Ceylon.

After another half a month, King Tuzhen also arrived. He only brought more than a thousand warriors, but those people looked strong and strong, and they knew at a glance that they were warriors. When Tu Zhen saw Sun Shao, he was also very polite. Originally, he was surrounded by Sun Shao and the Shan people and was almost destroyed. He was very dissatisfied with Sun Shao. At one time, he also wanted to find an opportunity to revenge. However, Sun Shao built Yangon City, and a large number of merchants came one after another. The people rushed to Yangon City to trade. The mountain goods were sold at a good price. A large number of goods also poured into the city of Tanro, and the living standard of the people was greatly improved. In the past, I was often busy fighting with the Huns. Although the Huns were not as good as before, they were not so easy to fight after all. Every year, some people died. Even if they robbed some property, it was not much more than a loss. Now it's different. There is the State of Yue, and the State of Shan is no longer the enemy. Men don't have to fight all day long. They can produce with their heart. When they are free, they can also go to the mountains to hunt, take furs to Yangon City to sell, or simply go to Yangon City to do odd jobs to make some money to improve their lives.

In a word, in a year, the people have initially felt the benefits brought by the State of Yue. Therefore, Tu Zhen did not hate Sun Shao, but was a little grateful. This time, as soon as Sun Shao's messenger arrived at the room, he gathered people to help.

Sun Shao greeted them warmly and held a banquet for them. At the banquet, Yong Youkai and Tu Zhen, who had vowed to cut off the head of the other party, were all happy. The next day, Tu Zhen took his people ashore, went straight to Panyue, and saw the gangster who was still in the dark.

As soon as he saw Tu Zhen, he lowered his face and sneered: "I heard that you have become a dog of Yue people. Why are you not busy licking your master's feet and rushing to me? Do you want to give me to the king of Yue as a gift like Ferroz?

Tu Zhen was really angry. He took off the knife in his waist and patted it on the desk. Then he sat on the opposite side of the mahjong, raised a big foot, and looked at the mahjong with a smile. He looked at the mahjong uncomfortable. Then he smiled and said, "If I want to kill you, why would I leave the warriors of my tribe outside, kill them directly and take them. That's your head."

"You want to." The hoodlum looked up and laughed: "Although you are good at fighting, I am not a soft-footed ghost. You only have more than a thousand people here, and you just want to break through my cottage. You don't underestimate me, do you?

"What's the use of having more people?" Tu Zhen waved his hand and pointed to the ten warriors lined up behind him: "Let's play a game. You choose ten people and compare them with my ten people, so that you can see my bravery."

The hoodie was furious and immediately picked ten warriors from the guards, but as soon as he played two games, he stopped. The reason was very simple. The two warriors in front of him were without exception cut off the bronze knife in their hands by Tuzhen's warriors, and then their heads were beheaded.

"You...what kind of knife are you?"

"The sword sold to us by the Vietnamese." Tu Zhen's mouth was crooked, he smiled briefly, and pushed the sword in his hand in front of the mahjong: "This knife was given to me by the king of Yue. In fact, it is not a rare treasure knife, that is, the sword of the generals of the State of Yue."

Ma Hun was skeptical. He pulled out the knife and looked at it again. Several bronze knives that he had been using as a treasure were cut into two parts by this knife one after another. Now he was dumbfounded. He couldn't let go of the knife and asked, "Are the people of Yue really very powerful? "?"

Tu Zhen laughed, stepped forward, took the knife from the hem gangster's hand, inserted it back into the sheath, and patted the gangster's shoulder: "You and I have been friends for decades. Can I still lie to you? Let me tell you, you are in big trouble this time.

The gangster was a little uneasy. He and Tu Zhen were indeed old acquaintances. They had attacked the State of the State of theShan Dynasty together before, and they were very clear about Tu Zhen's temper. He listened to Tu Zhen talk about the naval battle last year, and also talked about the changes of room spread in Tan City over the past year. Finally, Tu Zhen said, "How can you mess with Yue people? The powerful Tianzhu people are vulnerable in front of him. Can you be stronger than the Zhuluo people? Let me tell you, if it hadn't been for your sake, he would have killed you long ago. Of course, you can escape to the mountains. He may not catch you. But have you ever thought about it? Without Panyue Kingdom, can you still be the king of Panyue for a long time?

He turned his eyes for a long time, and finally scolded Salbach. He knew that he had been fooled by Salbach. The messenger of Zalbah said that he wanted to kill Ferros for money and food. As a result, he killed the messenger of Vietnam and drove away Feroz. After the messenger of Zalbah said that he would go back to ask for food, and as soon as he went away, he disappeared. The gangster now knows that the messenger of Salbach will not come back again. He offended the country of Yue. If nothing unexpected happens, there will only be a dead end.

"What should I do now?" In desperation, he had to seek a plan from Tu Zhen. Tu Zhen grinned: "Isn't it simple? Learn from me to be a vassal state of Yue, and you can be a king safely in the future, and you can also make a fortune by taking advantage of Yue. Whether it's more or more, whether it's more or more, is it all more people? Is there any hatred that can't be opened?"

"But... if I kill the messenger of King Yue, will he hate me? What if he cheats me and kills me again? The gangster said worriedly.

"Hahaha..." Tu Zhen laughed loudly, and the full laughter made the roof of Ma Zhu's roof tremble. He patted Ma Hun's shoulder hard: "You, you look at King Yue by mistake. Although he is young, he is a rare hero. If he doesn't want to let you go, how can he lie to you? Do you know how many troops he has at the seaside now?

"How much?" He swallowed his saliva.

"More than 13,000 people are enough to burn your palace in one meal."

Ma Hun took a breath. He didn't go to the seaside at all. He didn't know that the sailors of Yue were stopping at the seaside. He always thought it was Ferroz's hundreds of old and weak soldiers. He thought for a thought and asked, "So... what are you doing here?"

"I'm so idle that I come to help the king of Yue fight a war. If you don't know each other and don't listen to my advice, instead of letting you die under others, it's better for me to give you a ride and let you suffer less, right?

"Bah!" The gangster couldn't help laughing.

"Don't hesitate, prepare some gifts and accompany the king of Yue. If I say good things for you, he won't blame you. If you really have to wait for him to get angry, it will be too late for you to go back on your word.

"That..." Ma said with embarrassment, "You have said that the State of Yue is so rich. What gift can I give him to see?"

"Simple, choose a few more women to send to him. King Yue doesn't lack anything. He just likes beautiful and strong women."
