Chapter 600
Sun Quan, Lu Yi turned over and dismounted the horse, led the horse into the military camp, and looked at the soldiers practicing by the big tent in what units. They were both curious and nervous. Although there were no war drums or flags, the opponents who practiced were also robes for day and night, the soldiers were still full of fighting spirit. Some practiced swords, shields, spears, and each move was full of wind. Some practiced hand fighting, wrestling, agile and landing soundly. Some practiced over-distance (long jump), crossing (weight lifting), took off their shirts, revealing their strong muscles, full of strength. Some carried a giant tree together, shouting trumpets, running back and forth, with a vigorous momentum.
Sun Quan was envious. "Ayi, with such elite soldiers in hand, no wonder my eldest brother can win invincible."
Lu Yi nodded and shook his head again. "Soldiers are only the basis for victory. Whether they can win depends on whether the generals can be good at using it."
Sun Quan was a little dissatisfied with his mouth. "Isn't Qin relying on the army of tigers and wolves that destroyed the six kingdoms? The generals of Qin are not all famous generals."
"Is it not the difference between Li Xin defeating Chu and Wang Jian defeating Chu and his victory? "
Sun Quan was speechless, hesitated for a moment, and then argued: "Li Xin... only has 200,000 people, and Wang Jian has 600,000."
"But Li Xin started to say that only 200,000 is enough."
Sun Quan smacked his lips, and his slightly green eyes turned. "A Yi, Pang Shiyuan followed my eldest brother to war at the age of thirteen, and is no few months older than us now. When we see my eldest brother later, we beg him and let him take us with us too."
Lu Yi thought about it and shook his head. "I still want to study for a few more years. Learning is the foundation of one's life. There are many opportunities to join the army, but after these years, I will not be so calm if I want to study. Besides, shooting at King Chen is also practicing martial arts, so why do you have to come to the military camp?"
"You are like an old master, so boring." Sun Quan shrugged, speeded up and rushed towards the tent.
When they arrived at the central army tent, Sun Quan and Lu Yi handed over the pedestal to Yicong and signed up for a visit. Sun Ce was quite surprised when he heard Sun Quan's voice and greeted him from the inside. Sun Quan and Lu Yi rarely came to Gebi Camp, and Sun Yi came more often. Whenever he had the chance, he would stay in the camp and refuse to leave. He pestered Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others to ask for martial arts, or he would mingle with the soldiers of each battalion to listen to their stories about the battle.
"Why are you here? Is there anything wrong?"
Sun Quan bowed and said, "Brother has not returned for a few days, and my mother is worried about it. Let's take a look."
Sun Ce patted his forehead. He has been too busy these two days. He has habitually entered a wartime state and has not left the camp easily, even if it is only more than twenty miles away from Pingyu. Once he leaves the camp, he must have at least nearly a hundred people guarding him. Now the soldiers are conducting pre-war training and are ready to go to war at any time. He is unwilling to cause trouble.
"Everything is normal here. You guys go around the camp and go back, don't worry my mother."
"Brother..."
"What's wrong? There's something wrong? Oh, by the way, Ahon is going well, he has encountered no trouble, he has already entered Shaopi."
"That's great. Brother, can I ask you for something?"
"What's up?"
"I want to learn how to use military service with my elder brother, can I?"
Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan with a smile on his face and felt a strange feeling in his heart. Perhaps it was because of his preconceit, he always had a little gap with this younger brother, which was a little different from the previous Sun Ce's original deity. Sun Ce used to care for Sun Quan. Did Sun Quan feel that he deliberately improved the relationship?
"Is it too early for you to join the army to conquer? Let's talk about it after reading for a few years."
Sun Quan felt a little aggrieved and pouted. "My third brother is younger than me, and he has gone to war with Ahon."
Sun Ce was shocked. Sun Yi followed Sun Jian to fight? He didn't hear any wind before. No wonder he didn't see him these days. He rolled his eyes. "He followed him secretly, right? He was beaten up and sneaked in first."
Sun Quan nodded. Sun Yi often went in and out of Sun Jian and Sun Ce's camp, and was very familiar with Yi Cong around them. Hiding in the team was not difficult. He came very rarely, and without this condition, he could only ask Sun Ce directly.
"When I go back and ask my mother, if she agrees, I will take you."
"Then when will you go back?"
Before Sun Ce could answer, Zhang Hong walked out of the tent and advised: "General, it's time for war now. The territory of Runan is hard to guarantee that there are no enemy's detailed works. Their two children are not safe. You haven't been back for several days. Let's go back to meet your family together. There are us here, so you don't have to worry."
Sun Ce was just a refusal, but after Zhang Hong said this, it was hard for him to refuse. He thought for a while and said, "It is not good for me to go back alone to reunite with my family. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun. Let's set up a new battalion, and all the soldiers can bring their families to meet, and then choose some kabuki from the officials and slaves, perform some programs at night, Chong Chong's heart will be full of his spirits, so he can fight."
Zhang Hong frowned. "General, is this not good? Morale should be gathered rather than dispersed. If everyone is in love with their homes, where can they still have fighting spirit?"
"It depends on how we guide it." Sun Ce said meaningfully: "Why are we fighting? Isn't it just to protect our beautiful life and our family? It is because we know the beauty that we need to protect, otherwise wouldn't we become butchers who only know how to kill? Killing for the sake of killing is inferior. Killing for the sake of killing and killing for peace in the world is the highest goal of joining the army to fight. This is my understanding of Zhi Ge Weiwu, do Mr. Zigang agree?"
Zhang Hong nodded. "The general is right, but I was negligent. I will arrange for someone to prepare."
"Mr.
Sun Quan and Lu Yi stood aside, watching Sun Ce watch Zhang Hong leave, looked at each other, and nodded at the same time. Everyone said that Sun Ce was frivolous, rude, and had little reading, but what he said and did often coincided with the teachings of the saints. It is rare for those who could understand Zhi Ge for Wu like this. Famous generals cared about the soldiers, but only cared about the soldiers themselves. There were several families who cared about the soldiers, and listed protecting their families as the primary goal of the war.
"Come in." Sun Ce held one in one hand and brought Sun Quan and Lu Jie into the big tent.
The big tent was a little crowded, with piles of paper rolls divided into categories and placed everywhere, and the two wide paper rolls were filled with several big boxes. Lu Meng and others were busy, copying the text on the rolls and summarizing them into books. There were several maps hanging in the middle of the big tent, one of which was a map of Yuzhou. Unlike the common map of Yuzhou, this map added the contents of Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou, which was equivalent to a quarter of the Han map, with small flags on it.
Lu Yi stared at the map for a while and said, "General, is this a situation chart?"
"Yes, isn't it a bit messy?"
"Why don't the general learn from Ma Fubo to make a mountain and make a terrain model so that it can be seen at a glance."
