The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 81 Yifu Hengjiang

Although Zhang Cheng knew that this mission was unusual, he did not take it too seriously. In his opinion, this visit to Guan Yu is just a strategy for Sun Quan to stabilize the Western Front in the face of Cao's pressure. In fact, there is a big river danger, and the strength of Cao Jun's sailors is far from that of Eastern Wu. Jiangdong is not as dangerous as expected. The reason why Sun Quan is not confident has a lot to do with the war last year - the monarchs and ministers of Jiangdong have been broken by Zhang Liao.

The army is under pressure, and Lu Su, the main general of the western front, is sick again. No matter who is, he will inevitably be nervous. If he can marry Guan Yu, then the western front is worry-free. Sun Quan can transfer as many troops and horses as possible to fight in Jianye, and there are more allies in spirit. Without one enemy, morale will be improved.

That's all.

This is Zhang Cheng's opinion, so although he hopes that this mission can be successful, he does not mean that it must be successful. Even if not, he feels that it only has a great personal impact on him, but it will not have much impact on the war situation. But now that Sun Shao has analyzed and raised this matter directly to the height of unifying the world, Zhang Cheng suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.

At the same time, he also agrees with Sun Shao's view that although Lv Meng has made great achievements in the war, he can't compare with Zhou Yu, but also Lu Su.

What the hell is Wufu? Zhang Cheng sighed secretly and felt heavy.

Zhang Cheng's heart was heavy, and Sun Shao's mood was relaxed. Since he sighed, he didn't say anything more. He knows that Zhang Cheng is a smart person. As long as he gives him a start, he will think that he is a half-baked person. Occasionally, it's okay to say that it's okay. If you really want to say it in detail, most of his foresight is not enough evidence. There are too many history by chance, and it is unreasonable to infer the cause from the result, not to mention that he doesn't know history at all. It's still not that history.

Study hard and make progress every day. Sun Shao spent all his time reading. In addition to asking Zhang Cheng for advice, he has been studying hard, and even Zhang Cheng admires his seriousness. Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period has more than 200,000 words, recording the thirteenth generation from Yin Gong to Ai Gong. Ordinary people read the scriptures, that is, general chapters and sentences, and literary meanings, and then explore the profound meaning of it. However, Sun Shao made a lot of hard work. He recites each volume first, memorizes the words, and then speaks sentence by sentence by sentence. At first, Zhang Cheng felt that it was not necessary, but gradually he didn't think so, because he found that during the explanation, Sun Shao could not only put aside the book to discuss, but also every time he mentioned a sentence, Sun Shao could take his similar places and ask Zhang Cheng to compare and analyze. Zhang Cheng has worked hard for more than 20 years in Zuo Zhuan Chunqiu. Of course, he will not be embarrassed by Sun Shao, but he has to admit that Sun Shao's method of endorsement looks stupid, but in fact he is twice the result with half the effort and is effective.

"Fengxian, your progress is very fast."

Sun Shao smiled and said, "I'm just entering. At best, I've reached the atrium. I haven't entered the hall yet, let alone entering the room. The road is long and far away, and I will search up and down!" He paused and asked, "Brother Zhong Si, why do I think this spring and autumn righteousness is the same as a false door?"

Zhang Cheng was stunned. I don't know why Sun Shao suddenly had this metaphor.

"The master is not at home. The door is closed and the lock is hanging, but it is not fastened. When a gentleman sees it, he naturally knows that the master is not here and can't enter by himself. But when the villain saw it, he went straight into his room and swept away his wealth. Spring and Autumn Dayi, isn't it the lock hanging on the door?

Zhang Cheng was stunned and wanted to argue, but he felt that what Sun Shao said was vaguely reasonable, and he didn't know where to start.

"Spring and autumn works, and the thieves are afraid." Sun Shao said again with a smile, "But since the Han Dynasty, there have been many thieves who are proficient in the Spring and Autumn Period. Wang Mang usurped the throne, and so many great scholars persuaded him. Where did their saints learn from the scriptures?

Zhang Cheng's face became very ugly. He hesitated for a moment and began to argue with Sun Shao. In terms of scriptures, Sun Shao is definitely not his opponent. He was defeated in a few words, but he was indomitable, repeatedly defeated, and constantly put forward new ideas. The journey was lonely, and Zhang Cheng did not object to someone fighting against him. The two of them spoke happily, sometimes frowned angrily, and sometimes looked at each other and smiled at each other.

"Your Excellency, there is a boat in front of you." Cao Gen, who was standing outside the cabin, suddenly shouted.

Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao looked at each other and hurried out of the cabin. At present, it is still within the sphere of influence of Jiangdong, and there should be no danger, but now there are many water thieves and mountain thieves, and it is not impossible to encounter robbery. Zhang Cheng did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered to be on guard. Fifty soldiers quickly ascended to the throne, bowed and put arrows, and waited for them.

On the wide river, a building ship came from afar, with the wind and water, and the speed was extremely fast. When it was close, the ship looked even bigger. There was a female wall like a wall on the high side of the ship, and a row of soldiers in fine armor stood with halberds. Although the number of people was small, they were strict, as if facing a big enemy. Several giant crossbows were with iron arrows like spears, and the cold and shining arrows pointed straight at the ship where Sun Shao and others were. On the roof of the third floor, there is a big flag, roaring in the wind.

"It's General Hengjiang." Zhang Cheng smiled.

Sun Shao looked along his fingers and saw a middle-aged man standing on the fence on the third floor of the cabin, and there were several fierce warriors standing behind him. Although he was far away and could not see his face clearly, the prestige came to his face.

"I have heard for a long time that Lu Hengjiang is good at governing the army. Now, although I only see a spot, I can take it for granted." Zhang Cheng sighed and said curiously, "It's just that he is negative and refuses to be a servant. Why did he welcome him in person now?"

Sun Shao smiled and joked, "Zhong Si, in my opinion, it must be like-minded."

Zhang Cheng thought for a while and understood the meaning. He nodded with a smile: "I think that's the only way."

While the two were talking, the building boat had slowly stopped, and a soldier shouted, "Is it the messenger to the South County in front of them?"

Cao Gen answered loudly, "It's the messenger." Although he usually didn't talk much, the shouting surprised Sun Shao. The boat was downwind. They were against the wind, but Cao Gen's voice was loud and full of breath, as if he was not affected by the wind. The people on the boat heard it clearly, and then stretched out a long hook and pulled their boat to the side of the boat. When a door was opened, a scribe-like man greeted him with a smile: "Lin Zhi obeyed the general's order and asked the two messengers to board the ship to talk together."

Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao got on the upper boat, followed Lin Zhi to the third floor, and saw Lu Su at close range. At a glance, he immediately slandered Lao Luo. Lu Su in front of him was not a good man. Although he had a sick face, his eyes were more murderous than Lv Meng's. He is about seven feet and five inches. He does not look tall against the background of several big men next to him, but his arrogant look reminds Sun Shao all the time that this person in front of him is not a good man, and he is definitely a decisive fierce man.

"I haven't seen Mr. Zhang for a long time. Is he in good health?" Lu Su showed a smile, slowly stepped forward and bowed.

When Zhang Cheng saw Lu Su greeting his father, he was very surprised and did not dare to neglect it. He hurried forward to salute: "General You Lao is concerned, and my father is in good health."

Lu Su smiled and stretched out his hand to lead them to the table. There were four lacquered cases on the deck, and the cups and plates were complete. Lu Su joined the chairman, Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao joined the guest seat, and Lin Zhi accompanied him. Lu Su looked at Sun Shao and said with a smile, "Captain, I don't have any new wine here. I have to treat it with a little light wine. Please don't dislike it."

Sun Shao leaned over and smiled: "A gentleman's friendship is as light as water. If you can meet Hengjiang and see the general's face, Sun Shao is already drunk. Why do you need to drink a strong wine?

Lu Su was stunned for a moment and laughed loudly: "The captain is quite like a father. He is open-minded and pleasant to see it."
