The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 80 Kazuo Yokoe

Although Zhang Cheng knew that this mission was unusual, he didn't take it too seriously.In his view, this mission to propose marriage to Guan Yu was just a strategy for Sun Quan to stabilize the western front in the face of Cao Cao's pressure.In fact, there are natural dangers on the river, and Cao Jun's naval strength is far from that of Soochow, so Jiangdong is not as dangerous as imagined.The reason why Sun Quan didn't have self-confidence had a lot to do with the great battle last year - all the monarchs and ministers in Jiangdong were shattered by Zhang Liao.

The army is pressing down on the border, but Lu Su, the main general on the western front, is ill again. No matter who he is, he will inevitably be nervous. If he can marry Guan Yu, then there will be no worries on the western front. Sun Quan can send as many troops as possible to fight in Jianye, and With one more ally in spirit and one less enemy, morale will improve.

That's it.

This is Zhang Cheng's view, so although he hopes that this mission will be successful, it doesn't mean that it must be successful. Even if it fails, he feels that it will only have a greater impact on him personally, but it will not have much impact on the battle situation. .But now that Sun Shao made an analysis and raised this matter directly to the level of unifying the world, Zhang Cheng suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.

At the same time, he also agreed with Sun Shao's opinion. Although Lu Meng has made great achievements in battle, he is not only incomparable with Zhou Yu, but also incomparable with Lu Su in terms of vision.

In the end is Wufu ah.Zhang Cheng secretly sighed, feeling heavy.

Zhang Cheng's mood was heavy, and Sun Shao's mood was relaxed. After expressing his emotion that time, he didn't say anything more.He knew that Zhang Cheng was a smart man, as long as he gave him a start, he would think about it himself. Too much, it is unreasonable to speculate on the cause itself based on the result, not to mention that he doesn't know the history or not.

study hard, improve every day.Sun Shao spent all his time on studying. Apart from asking Zhang Cheng for advice, he had been burying himself in his studies, and his seriousness was even admired by Zhang Cheng.Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period has more than [-] words, recording the thirteenth generation from Yin Gong to Ai Gong. Most people read the scriptures, that is, understand the chapters and sentences, understand the meaning of the text, and then explore the profound meaning of the text, but Sun Shao is working hard. Each volume is memorized first, and the text is memorized, and then it is said sentence by sentence.At first Zhang Cheng felt that this was unnecessary, but gradually he no longer thought so, because he found that when explaining, Sun Shao could not only put aside the book and discuss, but also every time he mentioned a sentence, Sun Shao could compare his similarities to others. Come at your fingertips, please Zhang Cheng for comparison and analysis.Zhang Cheng has worked hard in Zuo Chuan Chunqiu for more than [-] years, so of course he will not be troubled by Sun Shao, but he has to admit that Sun Shao's method of endorsement seems stupid, but in fact it is more effective with twice the result with half the effort.

"Fengxian, your progress is very fast."

Sun Shao smiled: "I'm just getting started. At best, I've reached the atrium. I haven't entered the hall yet, let alone enter the house. The road is long and far away. I will search up and down!" He paused, and then asked: " Brother Zhong Si, why do I feel that the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period is the same as an open door."

Zhang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Sun Shao suddenly had this metaphor.

"The master is not at home, the door is closed, the lock is hung, but it is not fastened. When a gentleman sees him, he naturally knows that the master is not there and cannot enter by himself. But when a villain sees him, he goes straight into his room and sweeps away his wealth. The righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period , isn't it the lock that hangs on the door?"

Zhang Cheng was stunned, and opened his mouth to argue, but felt that what Sun Shao said had some truth, and he didn't know where to start.

"The Spring and Autumn Period, but the rebellious officials and thieves are afraid." Sun Shao said with a smile: "But since the Han Dynasty, there have been many rebellious officials and thieves who are proficient in the Spring and Autumn Period. Where did you study?"

Zhang Cheng's face became very ugly, he hesitated for a moment, and began to argue with Sun Shao citing scriptures.In terms of classics and meaning, Sun Shao is definitely not his opponent. He was defeated in a few words, but he was unyielding, defeated and fought repeatedly, and constantly put forward new viewpoints.The journey was lonely, but Zhang Cheng didn't object to someone confronting him. The two of them talked happily, sometimes glaring, and sometimes smiling at each other.

"My lord, there is a boat ahead." Cao Gen, who was standing outside the cabin, suddenly called out.

Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao looked at each other and hurried out of the cabin.Right now, it is still within Jiangdong's sphere of influence, so there should be no danger, but now that there are many water thieves and mountain thieves, it is not impossible to encounter robbers.Zhang Cheng didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately ordered to be on guard, and fifty soldiers quickly ascended the throne, armed with bows and arrows, and stood ready for battle.

On the wide surface of the river, a large ship sailed from afar, with the wind and the water, and the speed was extremely fast.As it gets closer, the ship looks even bigger. On the high side of the ship, there is a female wall like a city wall. Rows of soldiers in fine armor stand with halberds.Iron arrows like spears were attached to several giant crossbows, and the gleaming arrows pointed directly at the boat where Sun Shao and the others were.A large flag was erected on the roof of the cabin on the third floor, whistling in the wind.

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

Sun Shao followed his fingers to look, and saw a middle-aged man standing on the third floor leaning on the railing, and behind him stood several fierce warriors. Come.

"I have heard for a long time that Lu Hengjiang is good at managing troops. Although I have only seen it today, I can imagine it." Zhang Cheng sighed, and said curiously: "It's just that he has always been arrogant and refused to serve people. Why did he come to greet him in person today?"

Sun Shao laughed, and joked: "Zhongsi, in my opinion, it must be a kindred spirit."

After Zhang Chenglue thought about it, he understood the meaning, and nodded with a smile: "That's all I think."

While the two were talking, the building boat had slowly stopped, and a soldier shouted loudly: "Is the envoy going to Nanjun ahead?"

Cao Gen replied loudly: "It's the messenger." Although he usually doesn't speak much, Sun Shao was taken aback by this shout. They were so full of energy that they seemed not to be affected by the wind. The people on the tall boat heard it clearly, and then stretched out their long hooks to pull their incoming boat to the side of the tall boat. A door opened on the side of the boat, and a The man with the appearance of a scribe greeted him with a smile: "Lin Zhi is ordered by the general to invite two envoys to board the ship to talk."

Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao boarded the building boat, followed Lin up to the third floor, and saw Lu Su up close.After looking at it, he immediately slandered Lao Luo. This Lu Su in front of him is not a good man. Although he has a sick face, the murderous look in his eyes is even worse than that of Lu Meng.He is about seven feet five inches, and he doesn't look tall against the backdrop of several burly men next to him, but that kind of arrogant demeanor reminds Sun Shao all the time, isn't this man in front of him? What a good guy, this is definitely a decisive and fierce man.

"Long time no see Mr. Zhang, how is he?" Lu Su showed a slight smile, walked forward slowly, and bowed his hands in salute.

Seeing Lu Su greeting his father, Zhang Cheng was very surprised, he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly stepped forward to salute: "General Lao is concerned, my father is in good health."

Lu Su smiled and stretched out his hand to lead them to the table.Four lacquer tables were placed on the deck, complete with cups and plates, Lu Su was the chairman, Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao were the guest seats, and Lin Zhi was by the side.Lu Su glanced at Sun Shao, smiled and said: "Captain, I don't have new wine here, I only serve some light wine. Please don't dislike him, Captain."

Sun Shao bowed his body and smiled: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. To meet Hengjiang once and see the general's dignity, Sun Shao is already happy and drunk, so why do you need strong wine?"

Lu Su froze for a moment, then laughed loudly: "The captain is quite like a father, he is very open-minded, and it makes people happy to see him."
