On the top of Xiao Mountain, Sun Jian looked north of Ma.

He has been stationed in Xiao County for nearly three months, but there has been no action. Knowing that the two sides of Lu County were fighting fiercely, he did not send a single soldier, but reduced the garrison of Pei County. Of course, this was Qin Song's suggestion, he didn't understand it at the time, and he had an argument with Qin Song, but now he understands.

Sun Ce sent Lu County to Tao Qian, so Yuzhou was not involved in the war and ushered in a stable autumn. This year, there was more rain than in previous years, many places were flooded, the grain harvest failed, and the balance of payments was barely maintained. If you reluctantly participate in the war, the consumption will increase significantly, which will definitely affect stability, and maybe there will be chaos among the homeless.

This is the case in the country of Lu, after fighting for more than half a year, the land around Lu County has been abandoned, and there is no harvest. Tao Qian not only couldn't get a grain of grain from Lu State, but also had to transport grain to replenish it, and the amount of ordnance and food consumed was amazing. The most desperate thing is that even if you pay such a big price, Lu County will eventually lose. Yuan Xi attacked Qingzhou, Tian Kai was defeated and retreated, the Lang evil country was exposed to the front of Yuan's army, and Tao Qian faced the crisis of fighting on two fronts.

Thinking about it, Sun Jian also knew how painful Tao Qian was now.

He was very glad that with Qin Song as his adviser, he could stay out of the matter now. He was even more glad that with Sun Ce behind him, he could be assisted by scholars like Zhang Zhao and Qin Song. He can win the battle in front of the two armies, but he is not good at such a plan. If it weren't for Qin Song explaining to him, he wouldn't have known that there would be so many stakes involved in this war.

Sun Jian looked at Qin Song beside him. Qin Song tilted his head slightly and looked at the horizon in the distance, where there was a big mountain. Qin Song squinted his eyes, and there was a strange look in his eyes. Sun Jian couldn't say what that meant, but he felt that Qin Song at this moment was very reassuring.

"Wenbiao, what do you think, the war in Lu County?"

A shallow smile appeared at the corner of Qin Song's mouth. He didn't answer Sun Jian immediately, he lingered for a while, and then said lightly: "General, there will be no accidents in the war in Lu County, and it will be clear in half a month at most." I'm looking at Higashiyama. ”

Sun Jian shook his horsewhip. He had become accustomed to the way these scholars spoke, and searched carefully in his mind. "The East Mountain where the Master climbed the East Mountain and Xiao Lu?"

"Yes. The master climbed the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climbed Mount Tai and the world. However, I always feel that this may not be appropriate, or that the world that the master thinks may be Qilu, at most the four states of Qingxu, Yanyu and Henan, and it will not be the world we are talking about now. ”

Sun Jian looked at Qin Song in surprise and couldn't help laughing. Qin Song was a Confucian scholar, and he actually objected to Confucius's words, which had never happened before. In the end, he is a young man, he adapts quickly, and after less than a year in the army, Qin Song is used to life in the barracks and the identity of a strategist, unlike Zhang Zhao, who always has the face of a master, which is daunting.

It's good to be young.

Sun Jian couldn't help but think of his son Sun Ce. He Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old today, and he is still one step away from the age of confusion, just in the prime of life. But as Sun Ce walked out of the house and fought with the army, he suddenly felt that Shaohua was fleeting, and he was unconsciously middle-aged. Especially not long ago, Yuan Quan gave birth to a son, and Sun Ce had two sons in a row, this feeling is even more obvious.

This is like the wave of Qian Tang, the front wave has not subsided, and the back wave has rushed in, which makes people unprepared.

"The world that the master said should not include Guanzhong, right?" Sun Jian said: "I heard that the master traveled all over the world, but he never came to Qin. ”

Qin Song laughed. "The master has never been to Qin, he has not crossed the river in the north, he has not crossed the river in the south, he has not reached Luoyang in the west, and he has never set foot in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty. The so-called nations are nothing more than small countries such as Wei Song and Chen Cai. Qin Song suddenly stopped and looked at Sun Jian with some astonishment. He didn't know why he suddenly said this to Sun Jian. Criticizing a saint is not what a scholar who claims to be a Confucian should do.

Qin Song thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that he had changed a lot in the past half a year. I don't read much of the books of the sages, but I often read all kinds of tactics and tactics, and some of them are even books of conspiracy. Oh, when did I become like this? Every day in the barracks, I come into contact with the soldiers, discuss the general trend of the world, think about how to prevent the other party's conspiracy, study how to profit from it, and think about benevolence and righteousness one day.

General Sun misunderstood me.

Qin Song smiled dumbly, shook his head, and blamed himself.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Sun Yi galloped over with two guards. Although he was only ten years old, his riding skills were already quite good, and he galloped so fast that even the guards who were protected by his retinue could not catch up with him. Qin Song frowned, and when Sun Yi rushed in front of him, he coughed. When Sun Yi saw it, he hurriedly reined in his mount and looked around with some uneasiness.

"Sir, what have I done wrong again?"

"Major General, the general arranged for people to follow you in order to protect you, and he didn't want you to be left alone and taken by gangsters. You run so fast, the guards can't keep up with you, even if the general arranges more people for you, what's the use? This is in front of the two armies, in case you encounter the opposing scouts or assassins, how do you deal with them? ”

Sun Yi rubbed his head in embarrassment. He was not afraid of Sun Jian - Sun Jian was angry and beat him at most - he was afraid of Qin Song. Qin Song was angry, and he would lecture him repeatedly, and when it was serious, he would lock him up in the camp to study, and he would not be allowed to come out. Whenever this happens, Sun Jian will unconditionally support Qin Song, and maybe double the punishment.

"Thank you, sir, for the lesson, I know, next time I must slow down." Sun Yi repeatedly admitted his mistake and took out a letter from his arms. "Sir, the letter sent by Jiang Ziyi looks quite urgent, I was afraid of making a mistake, so I brought it directly. The messenger is resting in the camp, will the gentleman go back and ask him? ”

Qin Song didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the letter, and after checking the sealing mud, he opened it and read it carefully. Sun Jian also came over, waiting anxiously, he stared at Qin Song's face, hoping to see a clue from Qin Song's expression, but the more he looked, the more uneasy he became. Qin Song frowned, his face becoming more and more ugly. Sun Jian was very uneasy and couldn't help asking, "Wenbiao, what's wrong?" ”

Qin Song raised his head and looked at Sun Jian. "General, Lu County is lost, Tao Ying asked the general to send troops to guard Fang and Kong Dao to prevent Cao Ang from going south."

"That's all?"

"That's all." Qin Song handed the letter to Sun Jian, who took it and read it and confirmed that it was correct, but he still didn't quite understand.

"Wen Song, this task...... It shouldn't be difficult for us, right? ”

Qin Song rolled his eyes with a solemn expression. "General, the gale rises at the end of Qingping. This task is not difficult, but the problems it causes can be serious, and it may affect the situation in the entire Kanto region. ”
