The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 80 Step by step

Ardahir pondered for a long time, with a sarcastic smile on the corners of his mouth, and waved his hand to order the commander to go down. The commander answered and turned around and left. Ardahir looked at his back, raised the corners of his mouth and slowly collapsed, and his face became very grim.

Do they plan to use this tunnel to enter the city in the end, or do they already know that I found this tunnel, so they simply give up? Ardahir wiped his beard at the corners of his mouth and thought deeply. He is a little regretful now. He put his hopes on the ten details in the battle a few days ago, which was really a little risky. Although these works are loyal and have not leaked anything from beginning to end, they have been captured by Sun Feng. With so many people, who can guarantee that they are as loyal as the works of the ten temples?

Alas, if that's the case, it's not worth the loss. Not only did they lose a lot of property in vain, but they also lost a great opportunity to catch turtles in the urn. If the enemy who sneaks into the city is blocked, it will be several times better than the current situation.

As soon as the idea came out, Ardahir suddenly sat up alertly. When did I become so indecisive, and when did I start to have the idea of regret? He has always promised himself that he dares to act and is resourceful. How can he be so unconfident now? Are you afraid of being beaten by the son of the Sun family?

Losing confidence is more dangerous than losing a battle. Aldahir sweated coldly. After a long time, he recovered and sat down on the chair, his face turned pale for a while.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. A guard with a spear knelt down on one leg outside the door and stroked his chest with his hand: "Your Majesty, the city came to report that the envoy of the prince of Yue requested to enter the city."

Aldahir didn't say anything. He felt that Sun Feng's messenger should also come. The ransom had been given, and the prisoners would be returned tomorrow, and it was time for the other party to make another move. Aldahir was silent for a moment and waved his hand to let the messenger process.

After about a meal, Jiang Gan, who was in a long shirt, came to Aldahir slowly and bowed slightly: "The Allied envoy Jiang Gan has met the king."

"Why don't you kneel when you see me?" Aldashir regained his usual majesty, snorted softly, and his murderous spirit came out.

Jiang Gan smiled and turned his head to look at the guard who was coming to knock him down. The two soldiers were looked at by him and couldn't help but stop. Ardahir was furious. He sat up straight and patted the armrest. Just as he was about to get angry, Jiang Gan put away his smile and frowned and said, "Your Majesty, haven't you recognized the current situation?"

"What's the situation?" Aldahir was furious: "Do you think Taisifeng is a place where you can come and go?"

"Not yet, but soon." Jiang Gan waved his sleeves like a fly. The two guards who knew that they had made a mistake did not advance or retreat, standing there nervously. Aldahir didn't care about punishing them now. He heard something else from Jiang Gan's words. It seemed that Sun Feng was bound to conquer Taixi, and he relied on them. He suddenly thought of those tunnels, which showed that the other party might not know that he had found these tunnels and was still expecting these tunnels to develop. Waving effect. For him, this is undoubtedly the best news.

"I'm not a big word." Ardahir pretended to snort disdainfully, relaxed his body again, and leaned against the chair, but his eyes were a little unnaturally nervous. He stared at Jiang Gan's every move closely: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly and leave after that, so that I won't be angry and take your last name. At that time, I will regret it."

"Hahaha..." Jiang Gan laughed loudly: "You kill me? I'll give you a chance to live, but you want to kill me? It's so ridiculous."

Ardahir was secretly happy, but asked quietly, "I'm living well. What chance do I need you to give me to live?" On the contrary, you, last time I burned the Roman camp and gave you a small lesson. I hoped that you would retreat in the face of difficulties, but I didn't expect that you would not repent and still leave. I'm afraid it will be your Han camp that will be burned next time. At that time, let's see if you can talk like this again.

Jiang Gan smiled and looked at Ardahir relaxedly. It seemed to mean, blow it, continue to blow, and see how you can blow it. I'll talk about it when you're done.

Aldahir was angered by his look. His body straightened up and his face was heavy. He was about to shake his power, and then he woke up again. The other party might be going to stimulate him to lose his mind, but he couldn't fall into his trick. He relaxed his body again and sneered: "Don't talk nonsense. If you have anything, just say, just say it directly. I'll see what other tricks your prince can use.

"My prince's house is kind-hearted and doesn't want to delay the war for too long, so that the soldiers on both sides can't reunite with their families, so he sent me to negotiate with the king to negotiate a way to end the war." Jiang Gan said slowly, "The king has been fighting for many years, and he must also know that Taixifeng has become a lonely city. I heard that the king is familiar with the military tactics of our Han people, and he must also know the old saying that 'the city without helplessness is not guarding'. Taixifeng is now an isolated city without reinforcements, and the fall is only a matter of time. However, my prince Nian is also a hero. The Sassanid family is also a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. I, Han people, pay attention to survival and survival. I don't want you to have no sacrifices to Sassan's ancestors, so I want to give you a chance.

"Is it?" Aldahir suppressed his smile and said calmly, "What kind of opportunity is it?"

"If the king knows the current affairs, then open the city and surrender. My prince can make the decision, let the king keep the city of Taixi, and be your king of Sassan."

Aldahir stretched out his hand, rubbed his beard back and forth, and sneered: "Keep the city of Taixi, and the rest will belong to you?"

Jiang Gan didn't seem to hear the irony and nodded: "Not exactly. It's more or less for the Romans and the nobles."

"Bah!" Aldahir spit and said, "Don't mention this again. If there is nothing else, you can go and tell the prince that I have appreciated his kindness. However, if I really do this, I'm afraid that the ancestors of the Sassanid family will spit on me.

Jiang Gan didn't think so. After a pause, he said, "Since the king is obsessed, he will retreat and ask for the second." As soon as he stretched out his hand and took out a piece of paper from his arms, an eunuch beside Aldahir hurried over, took the paper and transferred it to Aldahir. Aldahir glanced at him and said, "What is it?"

"War Book." Jiang Gan said, "My prince is willing to fight fairly with the king to determine the victory or defeat. If you win, we will immediately withdraw from the land of Sassan. If the king loses, please ask the king to withdraw from Taixifeng, end the war, and return peace to the people of the world."

"It's ridiculous!" Aldahir disdained: "I'm here. You can fight at any time. What's unfair? Do you still expect me to fight with you? I'd love to. Unfortunately, I can't trust you untrustworthy people.

"Alas, heaven does evil, you can still live, you do evil, you can't live, the ancients are sincere and I don't bully you." Jiang Gan sighed and arched his hand: "Since the king does not think about the people of Taixi, we have to be angry with the will of King Kong, adhering to the will of Ahura, punishing evil, and saving the world from water and fire. The king is so self-ind of his own.

"Hahaha..." Ardashier laughed loudly, "The true god Ahura said that the more fierce it is, the more you will pretend to be kind. You invade me, Sassan, and you still pretend to be kind. When I Sassan, Persia is full of deceptive people? Go ahead and tell your king and prince to fight as you want, and don't say anything against your will. Although I, Aldahir, have never seen any world, I can still distinguish between a real gentleman and a hypocrite.

Jiang Gan put away his smile, sneered, turned around and left.

Seeing his angry look, Ardahir was in a good mood. He raised his hand and shouted again, "Stand."

Jiang Gan stopped his footsteps, turned around and looked at him angrily: "Does the king regret it?"

"I have nothing to regret." Ardahir slowly stepped down from the throne, came to Jiang Gan, stared into his eyes and said, "I also have a word to tell you. The New Year is coming soon. Tesifeng is not Troy, and you are not Achilles. What's more, heroes like Achilles are not immortal. If you don't have the ability to attack the city, you'd better come back as soon as possible. Otherwise, hey hey, it's not me who regrets, but you.

Jiang Gan's eyes tightened, arched his hand, and turned his head and left without saying a word. Ardahir looked at his hurried back and laughed happily. He walked to the throne, looked at the paper war book on the case, curled his lips, stretched out his hand to pieces, and then waved his hand and ordered the two guards to behead.

It was useless for the two guards to cry and plead. They were soon cut off their heads and their heads were in different places.

... Sun Feng received the reward and said nothing. He just politely said to Jiang Gan, "Mr. Aggrieved."

Although Jiang Gan didn't understand why Sun Feng made such an arrangement, he still said respectfully, "Fortunately, I am not disgraced to my mission. I will leave."

Sun Feng nodded and watched Jiang Gan retreat. Then he turned to Lu Xun and said, "Tomorrow we will be released back. Should we attack?"

"No hurry." Lu Xun shook his head confidently: "The prisoners will be put back, and it will take some time to spread the news. Aldahill is not stupid. He will definitely control the mouths of these people. In my opinion, it is better to let the Romans shout a few more voices, and let all the people of Tessifeng know that it was Aldahir who resisted to the end and forced us to kill.

Sun Fengxin understood and nodded repeatedly.

"Prince." Lu Xun moved his body and leaned forward: "The war is coming. You'd better report the situation here to the king."

Sun Feng thought for a moment, and his jaw answered: "I will rush to my father's camp in person to give him an explanation."

"Just like this." Lu Xun smiled with great satisfaction.

Sun Feng invited Quintus to discuss the matter and asked the Romans to be a propaganda team for a few more days. Without saying a word, Quintus answered all of them. He shouted a few times but he would not die. Besides, he could shout in Persian, that is, the most among the Romans. He was not allowed to give up. After Sun Feng arranged the relevant affairs, Lu Xun guarded the camp and prepared for the final general attack. He took the guard camp to Sun Shao's camp.

Sun Shao was drinking tea in the camp, accompanied by Emily and Diana, one pinched his shoulders, and the other read to him the former Roman emperor Marco. Orillo's posthumous work "Meditation". Orillo is a rare philosopher emperor. He is not only a wise monarch, but also an erudite Stogric philosopher. Even if he goes out to war, he keeps reading and meditating. He is convinced of Greek culture and is proficient in Greek. This Meditation is a philosophical work written in Greek. He never mentioned it to others before his death. It was not until his death that he was found by the people who sorted out his relics. His son Kang Maode was wise and ordinary. He was not interested in this Greek philosophical work and threw it in the corner. Later, Rome was in chaos. Several monarchs were of martial arts. They were not interested in this philosophy. It was not until Alexander succeeded to the throne that he rediscovered the book and greatly appreciated it. At one time, Sun Shao and he was with him. Kesum saw this book at the first meeting. Now that Alexander died in battle, Momia was sad when she saw this book. When she heard that Sun Shao liked this book, she gave it to Sun Shao. Sun Shao couldn't understand Greek, but Emily and Diana, who were born in the aristocracy, had learned Greek lessons and happened to be his interpreters.

As soon as he heard that Sun Feng was coming, Sun Shao didn't feel surprised. He just asked Emily to put away the book and pour a cup of tea for Sun Feng.

"Father, thank you for your hard work." Sun Feng saluted with a smile and sat opposite Sun Shao.

"What's the hard work for me?" Sun Shao smiled, raised the teacup and took a sip: "Suddenly come to see me, isn't the war going well?"

Sun Feng told the story of the war in the past few days, and finally said, "The Roman camp was burned, which made us more overstretched with materials that we were not very abundant. We could not allow us to arrange it calmly, so we had to solve the battle as soon as possible. It's just that when you enter the city, I'm afraid that the bloody battle will be inevitable. He said with shame, "In the past, my mother often said that if I didn't carry the burden, I didn't know the weight. I didn't know that it was not easy for my father's fortune until I was a general for a few days."

Sun Shao tilted the corners of his mouth: "Feng'er, you did a good job. I'm very satisfied. There are always accidents in war. How can everything be as you wish? The Romans were attacked, and you didn't mess up, which is already valuable.

"That's all my uncle's credit. If he hadn't been by my side, I'm afraid I would have panicked. In addition, the generals, whether it was Chen Hai and Li Yan, or the two generals Cao and Tianzhu's mercenaries, kept calm when the enemy attacked on both sides, which also reassured me a lot. What made me more grateful was that Yang Dezu had captured the ten details before I realized it. This is what we could win in the end. The key. Now that I think about it, I'm still scared."

"Yang Xiu is a talent, but unfortunately, he can't be used by me after all." Sun Shao sighed: "But it's okay, this is the family tradition of the Yang family."

"Hmm." Sun Feng thought for a moment and said, "Father, do you think there is still time?"

"It's not too late." Sun Shao said carelessly, "You can fight at ease. Don't worry about these things. If I guard the back road for you, you can do it boldly."

Sun Feng nodded gratefully and said, "Aldahir knows that we can't support us for too long. We will definitely order Awad to attack again. Without the help of the Romans, is the army here too weak? I think it's better to transfer the cavalry of Cao Zhang and Bo.

Sun Shao thought for a moment and said worriedly, "Ampled them here. Do you have enough troops?"

Sun Feng said without thinking, "Anyway, these cavalry will not play a role in attacking the city. Let them come here to ensure that my father is worry-free. I can rest assured."

"Hehehe..." Sun Shao smiled and raised his hand and patted Sun Feng on the back of the head: "Little vertical, your mouth is quite sweet. However, you don't have to sell your mouth in front of me. After this war, take your Teutonic woman back to lie to your mother and aunt. I'll see how you explain it to them. Also, how are you going to arrange the two maids of the Zhang family and the Yang family?

Sun Feng smiled shyly and raised his hand and touched his head: "Marriage is naturally the order of the parents. The words of the matchmaker are all up to the father and mother."

"You don't want to push this problem to me." Sun Shao curled his lips and said, "You should deal with what you have caused." He paused and said, "In terms of the strength of attacking the city, I can still count the strength of my 10,000 destroyers. If you need it, take them with you."

Sun Feng shook his head resolutely: "Father, you have done so much for me. If I can't conquer Taixifeng, how can I have the face to take charge of the big things here? The destruction camp is my father's forbidden guard. How can I use it easily? If it must be used, it must be commanded by the father. He smiled and said, "I still want to use this war to form my own guard, which can be used in the future. I don't know if my father thinks so?"

"Well, it's time for you to set up your own praither guard." Sun Shao did not insist: "However, you have to remember that you can't put your last name in the hands of foreigners at any time. The Teutonic people are still available at present, and other barbarians may not be credible. They seek profit and have no loyalty. Don't be blinded by them. In my opinion, it's better to form a guard army dominated by the Yue people. Don't let the Teutonic Knights be dominant, so as not to lose the tail.

"Oh." Sun Feng was overjoyed. He had always wanted to form his own guard, and he was afraid of causing Sun Shao's taboo, so he took this opportunity to bring it up. Unexpectedly, Sun Shao not only did not object, but gave him advice, which made a stone in his heart fall to the ground. He was a little ashamed and felt that he really shouldn't have a guard against his father. Just thinking about how to explain it, Sun Shao continued, "Your uncle is a talented man of literature and martial arts, and is deeply immersed in Confucianism. He is a credible loyal minister. You should listen to his advice more."

Sun Feng didn't understand what this meant for a moment. He glanced at Sun Shao, but Sun Shao didn't look at him. He just bowed his head and drank tea. Sun Feng thought for a moment and asked him to test Sun Shao's idea that it was Lu Xun's idea, but now Sun Shao praised Lu Xun. Has he already seen what's behind this and affirmed his approach of asking for instructions in disguise?

"Oh." Sun Feng answered vaguely, "Take Tai Xifeng. We have a lot of land that can be divided. All meritorious people can get a piece of land, but how to allocate it, we should not only consider the present, but also consider the future. This is a very challenging thing. You should not only listen to other people's advice, but also have your own ideas." Sun Shao took a sip of tea, took the "Meditation Record" from the case, and gently put it in front of Sun Feng: "This is the reflection of the Romans themselves. There are many insights, but there are also many one-sided words. After all, doctors can't treat themselves. You can have time to have a look and learn some lessons from it. The Romans went from a small city-state to the imperial empire across Europe, Asia and Africa. They experienced the golden age and now they have fallen into such a field. There are too many things to learn from. Don't leave such a treasure mountain and go back empty. In that case, it's a pity.

"Oh. I must remember my father's teachings. Sun Feng bowed and responded.
