Chapter 17 The Conspirators are great

When Lu Xun met Sun Shao, Sun Shao was invited to visit the snowy mountains in the north of Panyue. He was accompanied by Ferroz, the king of Zhu Luozuo, Ma Hun, the king of Panyue, Yong Youkai, the king of Shan, and Tuzhen, the king of Shan. In addition, Atula, the king of Qiang, who heard the news. Artula learned from the Panyue people that a new Yangon city was built in the lower reaches of the Lijiang River. A large number of merchants gathered here to buy mountain goods from various tribes and bring new and strange goods from outside. However, his tribe made a living from nomadic tribes and was not good at boating, and it was not easy to walk to Yangon on foot. This time, when he heard that the king of Yue was coming, he brought a few good horses and a snow leopard to Panyue. He offered it to Sun Shao and asked to take the merchant ship of Yue to Yangon to trade, or to ask Yue people to set up a store here in Panyue. Sun Shao agreed happily and decided to connect the business road to Panyue. Artura was overjoyed. In this way, the Faqiang people could increase a lot of wealth every year.

In fact, Artura didn't mention that Sun Shao would also set up a point here. After taking down Panyue, he would have the possible surname to hand over the Southwest Business Road with the State of Shu. With the smooth rectification of the Business Road, this will become a very important threshold. How can he easily give it to others?

"I didn't expect such a scenery in the wilderness." Lu Xun looked at the snowy mountain towering into the clouds, wrapped the coffin on his body, and said with emotion. When he landed at the seaside, it was still a hot summer day. After walking more than 200 miles north, it was actually chilling here. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Xun couldn't believe it anyway.

"What is this? If you walk ten miles north and enter the mountain, it will be dripping water into ice." Sun Shao was in a good mood and cheated. He not only cheated Lu Xun, but also brought in more than 30,000 people. Although most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and Sun Quan was so stingy that he didn't even match his weapons and armor, but after all, he was more than 30,000 men.

"Isn't it?" Lu Xun said half a sentence, looked at the snow on the mountain surrounded by clouds, and swallowed the other half of the sentence. He spent the summer heat in Kuanglu Mountain. He knew that the mountain was cooler than the plain, and the higher the mountain was, the colder it was. However, even if Kuanglu Mountain in midsummer reached the top, it was only similar to autumn at most. There was no mountain in front of him. Even in the hot summer, it was so horrible all year round.

"This mountain is so high!" Han Zong praised that it was much higher than Kuanglu Mountain.

"Oh--" Gan Yu snorted disdainfully with his nostrils: "What is Kuanglu Mountain? When you get here, you can't even be a junior. Picking a mountain is higher than it."

Han Zong's face was heavy and he was very unhappy. As soon as he entered the territory of Funan, he felt the arrogance of Yue [***] people. Gan Yu was originally good friends with him, but his words could not hide his contempt for Wu Jun. He often looked at how our Yue army was. When he looked at people, he seemed to look at them with his nostrils. He was a little unconvinced, but the fact is here, except for Lu Xun and He Jing's men still have some strength. They are similar to beglings. Sun Quan used Sun Shao's use of equipping them with better equipment as an excuse to withhold all the weapons. He couldn't wait to strip off all their military uniforms. Compared with the well-equipped Yue army, they really don't have the capital to be arrogant, but this is not On behalf of him, he can't express his anger.

Cheng Zi was not happy, but he didn't say anything. Like his father Cheng Pu, his surname was relatively gentle and he didn't like to argue with others face to face. Instead, he pulled Han Zong's sleeves and motioned him not to be too angry. The State of Wu can't go back, and he will still be in Yue in the future. Gan Yu followed Sun Shao very early. Now he is the captain of Funan, who is responsible for the security of the special pastoral city. Chen Hai, his father's old department, is the right general of the State of Yue. He has enough qualifications to be bullish.

Lu Xun glanced at Gan Yu and others who were bickering behind him with the corners of his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth: "The morale of Yue Guo is very high."

Sun Shao pretended not to understand and replied, "Since the beginning of the division, the soldiers have been a little arrogant. They are still waiting for the general to show their heroism and let them see what the real famous generals are, so that they don't have nothing to sit in the well and watch the sky."

Lu Xun glanced at him in surprise. He was Sun Shao's reinforcement. He himself was also Sun Shao who thought of a lot of ways to invite him. How could he give Sun Shao such an uny attitude as soon as he met him? He smiled silently and thought for a moment, "When is the king going to leave the division? Where should he attack first? Do you have a strategy?"

"There is a strategy, and the weight of grain and grass has been prepared for a long time, but when to attack depends on when the general can adapt to the terrain here." Sun Shao smiled and said, "Dare to ask the general, how long will it take you to start marching?"

Lu Xun frowned and hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "I need to know the relevant situation."

Sun Shao nodded. It is not unreasonable for Lu Xun to become a famous general. At any time, he will not act impulsively because of his will. This is the most rare character of a general. Many people are not without talent, but they often can't restrain themselves. They often forget the most basic principles in anger, and are followed by high-level chess players. It's like a faint move after anger.

"I will send someone to send the relevant maps and materials to my sister-in-law immediately. My sister-in-law will look at it slowly. Don't worry." Sun Shao changed his tone and said with a smile, "You have worked hard from afar. You'd better have a good rest first and enjoy the scenery of our Yue country."

Lu Xun nodded calmly, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

"Does my husband know where it is?" Sun Shao pointed to the northeast and asked, with a strange and complicated expression on his face, but Lu Xun didn't notice that he looked forward along Sun Shao's fingers and saw the wild mountains and forests.

"Yongchang County of Shu?"

"Well, the walking stick that Zhang Qian saw in Daxia entered Tianzhu from here, and then transferred to Daxia. A stick can be resold for thousands of miles, and it is profitable. My sister-in-law can imagine the important surname of this business road. After so many years, it is no different from what Zhang Qian saw in those years. It's a pity that such a big project was stopped because of Gongsun Hong's words.

"It's not true. Emperor Xiaowu conquered all directions. He was poor soldiers and martial arts, and the world was in chaos. Prime Minister Gongsun's words made the people rest in peace, and he was also a meritorious person." Lu Xun shook his head, smiled disapprovingly, and then said, "I heard your third sister say that you like reading Laozi. Didn't I say that I did nothing, but it was Emperor Xiaowu who changed the policy of doing nothing in the early Han Dynasty."

"Governing by doing nothing is only suitable for small countries and widows." Sun Shao shook his head repeatedly: "You can't rule the world, you can't mess around, but you can't waste food because of choking, and you can't do anything. If you don't do anything, won't it be more chaotic that day? It still needs to be cured, but it should be treated according to the path, and you can't pat your head indiscriminately. I'm not saying that Gongsun Hong's result is wrong, but I don't think it's right for him to make such a hasty decision. If he were my prime minister, I would definitely let him go home and raise pigs.

Lu Xun was stunned. He was stunned for a while before asking, "What is that?"

"This, you have to ask the scholars of Zhu Ya College, Yu Zhongxiang and the history of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and your sister Bo Ji. I believe they will give you different answers, but in the end you will find that in fact, they are all explained from different angles. Tianzhu people believe in Buddhism. Buddha has a saying that makes sense. The same flower is different in the eyes of different people.

Sun Shao smiled mysteriously and looked at the mountains in the distance, and his heart was full of pleasure. He was not happy to argue with Lu Xun, and he did not believe that these two words could convince Lu Xun. He was happy that according to his superficial geographical knowledge, his feet should be within the range of the McMahon Line on the Sino-Indian border 1,800 years later. In the history that has gradually faded into the depths of memory, this land is in China. The map is Chinese, but the foreign map is Indians. It is also Indians who actually occupy this land. He doesn't know how much truth there is before and after this, but now he is standing here steadily, sending only one messenger to put it into his sphere of influence, Indian? I merged with him first to see what else he would do.

Late at night, Lu Xun spread out several documents under the bright fish oil candle. Luo Tong hung a large-size map on the bulkhead, and then put down a piece of cotton cloth to cover the map. He twisted the soft cotton cloth with his fingers and praised it with envy: "King Yue is really good for the general. Such a good cotton cloth is actually used for Cover the map.

Huiji has the famous Gebu, which is made of Gema, which is famous for being more delicate and soft than ordinary hemp. However, compared with cotton cloth, Gebu still looks a little hard. After Sun Shao occupied Funan, he bought a large number of cotton cloth from Tianzhu and transferred it to the Central Plains. Although it was not more expensive than Ge Bu in Tianzhu, merchants knew that rare things were precious. Coupled with the cost of long-distance transportation, it was much more expensive than Ge Bu in the State of Wu. Luo Tong also bought cotton cloth, which was also a valuable item.

"Tianzhu produces cotton. It's so close to Tianzhu. Of course it's cheap." Lu Xun didn't raise his head, and his eyes seemed to be glued to the documents on the case. Luo Tong looked at him, and a snicker appeared on his face. He knew that Lu Xun was not happy to come to the State of Yue. Although he also had a subjective desire to make contributions, he was objectively driven out by Sun Quan. He had an instinctive rejection of helping the State of Yue fight, and he was not very enthusiastic. But now that he looked at the documents provided by the State of Yue so carefully, it can be imagined that his mind was already There has been a change between the mind.

Luo Tong didn't say anything. He picked up a silver pot with an obvious Roman style and filled Lu Xun a cup of coffee. He gently put it next to Lu Xun's hand, and a faint bitter fragrance permeated the air. Lu Xun seemed to be telepathic. He reached out and took the cup to his mouth and sucked his nose. Then he withdrew his eyes from the document and looked at the black ** in the cup. He raised his eyebrows, but he didn't think too much. He took a sip carefully and immediately frowned.

"What is this, so bitter?"

The Japanese girl who had been waiting outside the cabin replied outside the door, "General, this is a drink from the Daqin people. It's called coffee, which can refresh you. The king was worried that the general would be busy until late, so he specially prepared it. If the general is not used to it, I will immediately go to change other drinks for the general.

Lu Xun and Luo Tong exchanged glances together. Sun Shao had long known that Lu Xun would be attracted by these documents, and even refreshed drinks were ready. Lu Xun was distracted for a moment, shook his head, took another sip of coffee, and buried his head in the document again. Luo Tong waved to the Japanese girl. The Japanese woman saluted obediently and tapped her head gently on the floor: "If you need anything, please feel free to tell me. I will serve you outside the door."

Luo Tong shook his head with a smile: "King Yue is really considerate to the general. Even the maidservant is ready."

Lu Xun snorted, knocked on the document on the case with his finger, quickly turned it over, then picked up one of them, quickly walked to the map, picked up the cotton cloth with one hand, and quickly patrolled on the map, looking focused, as if he had found something. Luo Tong hurriedly caught up, holding the cotton cloth in one hand and the oil candle in the other. Lu Xun freed a hand, and his white finger pointed to the position of the country on the map, and then slowly crossed the map. The hard cocoon left by the sword on the abdomen of his fingers for many years rubbed the thick paper, making a "shasha" sound. Luo Tong unconsciously held his breath, watched Lu Xun's fingers draw a long arc, and finally stopped in a place.

Lu Xun gently knocked on that point and smiled: "What a big handwriting."

"General?" Luo Tong looked at Lu Xun puzzledly, and he was confused by Lu Xun.

"Far and close attack, the weak attack, and the strong are tired. This is by no means painstaking **, but a grand plan of ten or twenty years, or even thirty or fifty years." Lu Xun lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard. His eyes showed a strange look, and his whole body was full of power.

"Such a big plan?" Luo Tong opened his mouth in surprise: "Then we... aren't we..."

"Do you still want to go back?" Lu Xun smiled.

Luo Tong thought for a thought and smiled. He shook his head: "If I had known this, I would have moved my family back to the black wound." After a while, he put away his smile again and asked puzzledly, "Isn't the King of Yue going to march to the west side by side with General Cheqi? How can it be a big plan for ten or twenty years?"

"The Western Expedition is just a purpose. His purpose is to swallow the whole Tianzhu. Tianzhu is bigger than Yueguo. It is reasonable to plan in the long run. Lu Xun also put away his smile and nodded seriously: "I'm not afraid that he will drag on for a long time. What I'm most worried about is that he is eager to achieve success and destroy the good situation."

"In the new year, he is also a long-term general who will win every battle. It is really rare to have such a ninja surname." Luo Tong sighed with emotion: "King Yue seems to talk and laugh, but he didn't expect his thoughts to be so far-reaching. No wonder Yue Guo has been thousands of miles over the years."

Lu Xun nodded slowly as if thinking.

Not far from Lu Xun's ship, Sun Shao and Yang Xiu sat opposite Sun Shao's Yingyang. A game of chess on the case was nearing the end. Yang Xiu was blocked by Sun Shao's cars in the nine palaces and could not move. Yang Xiu stared at the chessboard and racked his brains for a long time. Finally, he put down the chess pieces in his hand feebly and threw them on the chessboard with a "clam".

"I lost again."

"Hey hey..." Sun Shao smiled and hooked his fingers. Yesudara came over with a Sinhala maid holding the case and delivered the two cups of coconut milk on the case to them. Sun Shao smiled and said, "Drink some coconut milk, calm down, and go to bed early. You are so busy and tired during this period. Pay attention to your health. Lu Yao knows the horsepower. It is said that you have seen people's hearts for a long time. You are only in your forties, and you see gray hair. It's not the way to keep healthy. He took a sip of coconut milk and smiled narrowly, "Are those two Zhuluo women too powerful?"

Yang Xiu blushed and drank all the coconut milk in one gulp. He didn't respond to him. He licked his lips, leaned back, pushed open the window and looked into the distance. The cool sea breeze surged in: "Your Majesty, General Lu is still fighting at night, but you are going to sleep?"

"He has something to do. He should stay up late. I'm fine. Of course, I have to go to bed early." Sun Shao stood up disapprovingly and waved his sleeves: "I won't accompany you. Isn't it a waste to play chess with you on such a good night? Yesudara, let's go back and let him review here alone.

Yesudara listened, squeezed his lips and smiled, got up to sue, and followed Sun Shao with small steps. Yang Xiu shook his head with a smile, took away a few pieces on the chessboard, and thought about them.

"Your Majesty, why don't you sleep outside on such a good night?" Yesudara followed Sun Shao, pulled Sun Shao's arm and shook it gently, and said coquettishly. Sun Shao looked back at her and frowned: "Aren't you afraid that others will see it? This is a military camp, not a royal palace.

Yesudara stuck out his tongue: "The king's ship is high, and no one else can see it."

"There are also the soldiers on the watchtower. They have thousands of miles of eyes in their hands. Not to mention people, I'm afraid you can even see a few moles on your buttocks. Besides, it's not good to suffer from night dew, and it will leave the root of the disease in the future. Sun Shao lowered his voice and smiled and said, "Forget it, let's go to bed in the cabin. At worst, just open the window to let the air through the air. Wait until a few days make a curtain and put it on the top."

In Temu City, He Jing followed an official and slowly walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion. There was an endless stream of people coming and going in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Everyone was in a hurry. When he met an acquaintance, he just nodded and passed by. Few people stopped to say hello. People who had something to talk about were in the side porch next to him, where there was a There were a few stone cases on the side, covered with bamboo mats. Some reviewed the documents to be reported after a while, some were discussing something around the stone case, and some were blushing. One of them had jumped up, pointing to the other party's nose and scolded, with the feeling of rushing to fight.

He Jing turned his head and smiled at He Zhi, who was with him, "Every time you come, is Mr. Yu so busy?"

He Zhi nodded: "Of course. None of the three princes and nine ministers of Yue are idle. The prime minister's office keeps calculating accounts and arranging tasks. The imperial history office keeps handling all kinds of reports and looking for evidence of all kinds of illegal acts. It will be more busy to make the Dajiang Temple. It is said that those people in the technical college sometimes stay up all night for several days. So many new objects are like this one by one. I'm busy."

"If you do this, won't you tire people out?"

"So the king ordered that they should be forced to take a day off every five days, and people with poor health would force their surnames to stop working indefinitely." He Zhi smiled and said, "Those people eat well and live well. With the care of Dr. Dong and his disciples, their health will not be bad. Haven't you seen some too?"

He Jingxin echoed with the same feeling. Because he led the army all year round, the He family was relatively extravagant. His eating habits were not very good, and he had some hidden diseases for many years. After arriving in Funan, He Zhi was ordered by his father He Dazhi to pick him up. He saw that he was very bleak because of seasickness. With a face, he advised him to stay in Temu City for a period of time and send him to Dong Feng of Funan College for treatment. He Jing lived in Funan College for a few days and met a lot of strange people, including the craftsmen and craftsmen of the art college mentioned by He Zhi. Although they were all busy, they seemed to be in good spirits, and none of them were sick. In particular, that kind of momentum makes He Jing, who has lived without hope for many years, feel very fresh. Whether the people in Yue country are poor or rich, whether they are senior officials or ordinary people, they seem to have enough confidence in their future life and believe that life will get better and better.

"Zhongtu (He Jing), you look good." Yu Fan strode out of the inside and brought a gust of wind. He patted He Jing on the shoulder hard and laughed loudly, "Isn't Dr. Dong good? However, I think you still need to be careful not to drink so much wine. Although the wine is good, it is a penetrating poison.

"Thank you for reminding me." He Jing bowed politely and was very greedy for Yu's strength. Yu Fan and his father He Qi are of the same generation. He Qi has died of illness, while Yu Fan, who is several years old, is still like an adult.

"You go to the side hall to have a rest first. I'll come as soon as I finish the things at hand. Don't leave at noon today. Have a working meal at the Prime Minister's house. It can't be compared with your He family's meal, but the taste is still good."

"Well, don't bother Yu Gong. I'll have a cup of tea in the front." He Jing retreated knowingly and sat down in the side hall of the guests. Yu An, the third son of Yu Fan, came out to accompany him. Yu An is a few years younger than He Jing. He used to listen to them and He Jing behind his two brothers, but now he has grown into a handsome young man.

"Shiping (Yu An), are you about to be an official?" There were no other elders present. He Jing leaned comfortably and asked with a relaxed smile.

"Go to the military academy to study after the New Year, and then join the army." Yu An greeted He Jing for tea while responding.

"You also want to join the army?" He Jing saped tea, looked at Yu An with some surprise, and suddenly smiled and said, "Is it true that the son of the Prime Minister of Yue also has to perform military service?"

"Han men in Yue, unless they are disabled, will be in the army for three years, without exception." Yu An smiled faintly and said, "The king's son is no exception, not to mention the son of the prime minister. The difference between the children of nobles and ordinary people is that before joining the army, they should study in the military academy for at least one year and learn the basics of military science. If you want to join the army, after three years in the army, you have to go back to the military academy for further study and learn more advanced military theory and related knowledge. He raised his head and looked at He Jing: "In Yue, the smartest people go to the technical college, and the bravest people go to the military college. It is a glorious thing for every man to be able to go to the military academy for further study. Those who escape from military service will not be able to raise their heads all their lives."

"Is it so serious?" He Jing blinked in disbelief.

"Do I dare to say empty words in front of my brother?" Yu An grinned: "The king has a famous saying that to be a real aristocrat, not just to have money and power, but to have a civilized thought and a barbaric body. With these two, even if he is penniless, he is also a noble. If there is only inherited titles and wealth, he is just an insignificant parasite at best. , except to tarnish the reputation of the ancestors, it is useless.
