Chapter 692: Unifying the South
"The Art of War?!"
Zhang Yiyan surprised Zhang Ning next to him, why did the famous "Art of War" appear in such a place?
What is The Art of War? That is the foundation of the Sun family, and it is the absolute secret of the Sun family. Including Cao Cao, countless people secretly covet it, especially in this era, the value of "The Art of War" is much greater than that of all the top martial arts!
"When Ding Yuan installed Mrs. Ding by Sun Jian's side, he wanted to secretly steal the Sun family's "Sun Tzu's Art of War". However, Ding Yuan's purpose was obviously understood by Sun Jian, even if Mrs. Ding gave birth to a son to Sun Jian, the son of the concubine was not qualified to come into contact with the core of the Sun family, "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Zhang Ning talked about what she knew.
"You know a lot." Dou Yuru glanced at Zhang Ning.
"After all, my father has always been quite concerned about the Art of War." Zhang Ning replied, it can be seen that the Yellow Turban Army back then also fought the idea of "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
"If nothing else, "The Art of War" should only be in the hands of Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Yi, and Sun Kuang. Sun Ce and Sun Quan don't look like people who would leak such secrets, could it be Sun Yi? Zhang Ning analyzed and speculated. Sun Yi has just died, normal people feel that there is a conspiracy inside, and now that such a thing has happened, it is difficult for Zhang Ning not to think of Sun Yi.
Dou Yuru shook her head suddenly and said,
"You forgot someone."
"Who?" Zhang Ning asked curiously, could it be that there is still someone in the Sun family who has mastered "The Art of War"?
"Sun Jian!" Dou Yuru said in a loud voice.
"Sun Jian?!" Zhang Ning's face changed, and then he suddenly realized, and nodded with a calm face, "What the Venerable Lord said is right, it is indeed very reasonable." ”
Sun Jian's disappearance has always been a mystery, although many people believe that Sun Jian must be dead, but in fact, it is only missing. At the beginning, many people suspected Cihang Jingzhai, Liu Biao, Huang Zu, Shanyue, and other hostile forces, but everyone ignored that there may be another motive for Sun Jian's "The Art of War"!
"Regarding "The Art of War", I have been with Sun Quan for so long, and I have learned a little about it. To put it simply, the Sun family has two kinds of Sun Tzu's Art of War, the Sun Tzu Art of War on the surface, and the real Sun Tzu Art of War. Dou Yuru said, "Many core people know Sun Tzu's Art of War on the bright side, including Mrs. Wu, who usually uses it to teach the children of the Sun family." And the only one who knows the real "Art of War" is Sun Ce! ”
"Only Sun Ce?" Zhang Ning was surprised.
"That's right, when Sun Jian disappeared, Sun Kuang was still very young, not only for secrecy, but also for Sun Kuang's safety, Sun Jian couldn't teach Sun Tzu's Art of War to Sun Kuang too early. As for Sun Yi, not to mention his age, he is also close to Mrs. Ding, you said it, Sun Jian has always guarded against Mrs. Ding, and he naturally will not casually teach the real "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to Sun Yi. Dou Yuru said.
"What about Sun Quan? Even Sun Quan doesn't know? This is Zhang Ning's most unexpected place, not to mention Sun Quan's current achievement status, just say that he uses soldiers like a god, no one will believe that he has not learned the real "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
"Don't think too highly of him, when Sun Jian disappeared, that kid wasn't very old. Of course, age is not the point, the important thing is that Sun Quan is not like Sun Ce, and Sun Jian has never taken Sun Quan to the battlefield. Even we laymen know that we can't talk about soldiers on paper, let alone soldiers' families? Dou Yuru explained that this was the reason why she made such a judgment, but after a pause, Dou Yuru continued,
"Of course, Sun Quan's boy has always been treacherous and cunning, and he has a lot of things to hide from me in private, so even if he really masters the Art of War, I won't be surprised at all."
Dou Yuru said, her eyes flashed,
"However, none of this matters, I'm not interested in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" or anything, but I know that Sun Ce and Sun Quan are either stubborn or shrewd, and it is impossible for them to let the Sun family's secrets leak out. Coupled with the timing of this Zhang Xian's appearance in Changsha, and the length of time he has repeatedly studied "The Art of War", no matter how you think about it, it should be inseparable from Sun Jian. ”
"What does the lord mean is that Sun Jian's disappearance is related to Zhang Xian?" Zhang Ning couldn't help asking, "How can Zhang Xian do this kind of thing?" ”
"Zhang Xian's can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it, I suspect that the person behind the scenes used some means to pry out the content of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" from Sun Jian's mouth, but he was worried that this art of war was fake, so he wanted to verify it on Zhang Xian. Originally, they thought that in a remote place like Jingnan, no matter what happened, not many people would take it to heart, but they never thought that we happened to come over! ”
"All in all, if you grasp Zhang Xian's line and follow the vine, you will definitely be able to find Sun Jian!" Speaking of this, Dou Yuru couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha! This matter must be kept secret from me, and someone will be sent to secretly investigate what Zhang Xian has experienced over the years since he left home, this time, I will definitely make Sun Quan have to listen to me! ”
"The Lord is wise!"
"Lord." Zhang on the side suddenly spoke, "If I hadn't killed Zhang Xian, it should have been easy to ask something from him, and now that things are so complicated, you don't blame me at all?" Zhang looked at Dou Yuru and asked.
"If it weren't for you, how would we have known such things? Why should I blame you? Dou Yuru asked rhetorically.
"Hahahaha!" Zhang laughed loudly, "Sure enough, there is only one lord in this demon gate, and there can only be one lord!" ”
Hasn't Sun Quan always been curious, Dou Yuru is a female streamer, although she is the founder of the Demon Gate, but how can she make so many "demons and monsters" in the Demon Gate willing to succumb to others, maybe this is one of the reasons.
The sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance. Tolerance is really a very valuable quality.
In just one month, many major events have happened in the world.
In the north, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were in full swing. In the Central Plains, Emperor Xian secretly stirred up wind and rain in Xudu. In Xuzhou, there was a riot in the rear of Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei have to temporarily put on hold of Cao Cao's crusade. In the northwest, Ma Tenghan was ready to move.
However, during this time, all the changes in the whole world were not as eye-catching as those in the south.
In the Jingnan area, after Zhang Xian's sudden "death", Zhang Xian's son obviously couldn't take on the big responsibility, and Gan Ning took advantage of the situation to attack and finally defeated this difficult resistance army. Since then, the entire four counties of Jingnan have all fallen into the hands of the Sun family. Affected by this, the Jiangdong envoy Buqi and others who had arrived in Jiaozhou made absolute progress in an instant, and Shixie directly announced the surrender of Jiangdong and bowed down to Sun Quan!
At the same time, an envoy sent by Liu Zhang of Yizhou arrived in Nanjun and met Sun Quan near Jiangling with a generous gift, expressing Liu Zhang's willingness to form an alliance with Sun Quan. Under such layers of oppression, the Jiangling defenders finally couldn't bear the pressure and took the initiative to go out and ask for surrender.
Since then, Sun Quan has completely controlled the Yangtze River valley and unified the entire south! Its domination of the world has directly surpassed Yuan Shao in the north!!
