Han Dao world

Xun Yan got out of the big tent, stood there for a moment, suppressed the turbulence, and then walked towards his camp.

Standing in front of the map, Shi Sunrui blinked his eyes when he heard the long-suppressed breathing outside the tent.

Shi Sun Meng walked over from the side, glanced at Xun Yan's receding back, then at Shi Sun Rui, and couldn't help but ask, "Ah Weng, are you a little bit Meng Lang in your decision? The Northern Army is the Forbidden Army." , is not a part of my scholar Sun."

Shi Sun Rui's eyes flashed, and he looked at Shi Sun Meng. "Can you draw such a map?"

Shi Sun Meng laughed awkwardly. "Ah Weng, I'm not jealous of him. I admire his outstanding talent."

"Yes, he is very talented and everyone knows it. If that's the case, why not use it?" He paused, and then said: "There are sages in the wild, which is not a sign of prosperity. The Xun brothers in Yingchuan are both outstanding. When a family thrives, it cannot be stopped by manpower. Employing people is like controlling water, blocking it is worse than sparse it. Rather than being an enemy, it is better to use it for me."

He turned around and paced back and forth a few steps, and added another sentence. "I think the Son of Heaven thinks the same way, that's why he is so attentive to Xun Yu."

"Aren't Ah Weng worried that the Xun family will be in great trouble?"

"Worry." Shi Sun Rui smiled. "But that will be decades later, and we haven't reached that point yet. The Son of Heaven is young and has a high level of understanding. He will understand this."

Shi Sun Meng wanted to say more, but Shi Sun Rui raised his hand and waved lightly. "Okay, these things are beyond your comprehension, so you don't have to worry about them. For the map, you should spend more time and arrange for someone to copy a few copies. Don't forget to send a copy to Xingzai, and indicate that Xun Yan is the leader. It took a year and was meticulously drawn."

"Ah Weng really put his heart into it." Shi Sun Meng couldn't help curling her lips.

"Zhuzi, if you can be better than him, is it necessary for you to do so?" Shi Sun Rui spat angrily. "I shouldn't have let you go to Jingzhou in the first place. You are not very capable, but you have developed a scholarly temper. You can only be a civil servant at Naigong's place. If there is no one to help you, what can you do? Can't you?" Well, even Naigong’s title can’t be kept.”

Shi Sun Meng was caught off guard, her face was red, but she also understood Shi Sun Rui's good intentions, so she couldn't say anything more, so she responded with a murmur, turned around and left.

Shi Sunrui stood in the tent, looking at the map, a trace of remorse flashed across his heart.

If I had known this, why bother.

If he didn't send and arrange his son to Jingzhou, but let him practice with him, he would be at least a captain now.

But who knew the situation would change so quickly.In a blink of an eye, celebrities not only have no room for prowess, but also become a symbol of high-mindedness and low-handedness.

But Shisun Meng's celebrity habits could not be shaken off anymore, even if he brought Shisun Meng to the army, to the dense mountains and dense forests of Yizhou, he still couldn't get rid of that weak aura.

Maybe this is life.

"Master Sun Gong." Wang Ling broke in from the outside, his voice was like a bell, and there was wind under his feet.When he saw the map at a glance, he couldn't help exclaiming: "Xun Xiuruo finished?" …

"Well, take a look."

Without waiting for Sun Rui's orders, Wang Ling had already walked up to the map, and took a closer look, amazed at the same time. "I have to say that this Xun Xiuruo is really capable. He actually finished drawing this map. With this map, it will be much easier to march in the future."

He turned to look at Shi Sun Rui, his eyes shining. "Are you going to march into Longbian? Shisun Gong, it should have been like this long ago. If you don't march, the credit will be taken away by Ding Chong and Sun Ce."

Shi Sun Rui frowned slightly. "Yan Yun, the world is big, and you are young, don't be limited by your military achievements."

Wang Ling smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to touch his head. "Mr. Shisun taught me the right lesson. After wandering in this mountain for a long time, I have become that frog looking at the sky from a well. I have no time to think about the sea thousands of miles away. But I can't blame me for that. I'm not a poor boy like Sun Ce. If you miss this time, there will be a next time. After Jiaozhou is pacified, Shi Sunrui can return to the court, and he can go into seclusion, but I have no other choice."

Shi Sun Rui hesitated to speak, so he had no choice but to change the topic. "What about Huangfu Jianshou?"

Wang Ling glanced back, also a little surprised. "He told me that he will come right away, why is it so slow?"

Sun Rui beckoned. "Don't worry, I'll tell you something."

Seeing Sun Rui's serious expression, Wang Ling didn't dare to be careless and put away his smile. "Please teach me Sun Rui."

"Don't go to Longbian with the army, go to Yongchang to be a captain."

"Yongchang?" Wang Ling's face changed slightly.

"I just received the news that Sun Ce has captured Panyu, and Shi Wu fled without a fight. Shi Xie should have received the news, and he may not have the fighting spirit to stick to Long Bian. It is more likely that he will surrender. Going to Long Bian may not be possible. The opportunity to make meritorious service may be a waste of time. Once Jiaozhou is pacified, I will return to the court soon, and it will not be so easy to arrange for you. Before you leave, you go to Yongchang to be the captain, Huangfu Jian Shou goes to Yizhou, so you don’t have to follow me back to court.”

Wang Ling's face changed a few times, and he hesitated to speak.

He knew that this was Shi Sun Rui's wish, but when he thought of staying here for several years or even decades, he was a little unwilling.

Just because I am Wang Yun's servant, can I only watch others make contributions?

"Take a closer look at the map." Shi Sunrui reminded.

Wang Ling hesitated for a moment, then looked at the map carefully again, but he was a little absent-minded.

After a while, Huangfu Jianshou walked in, saw the map, and couldn't help but praise it.

Shi Sun Rui didn't say much, and told him to look at the map with Wang Ling and go out to change clothes by himself.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Ling explained Sun Rui's arrangements.When Huangfu Jianshou heard this, he was not surprised at all.He stretched out his finger, found Yongchang on the map, and tapped lightly.

"Yanyun, look here."

Wang Ling turned his head and looked over, only to see Huangfu Jianshou's finger slowly moving southwest along a line, dragging on for longer and longer, until it stopped at the edge of the map.

"Do you know where this road leads?"

Wang Ling pondered for a moment. "Tianzhu?"

"That's right, it's Tianzhu. Do you know where Tianzhu leads to the west?"

"do not know."

Huangfu Jianshou continued to step back, drawing an arc in the air with his arm, and finally tapped in the void. "Rome."

Wang Ling was taken aback. "The Rome that the emperor wants to conquer?"

"Exactly. Starting from Tianzhu, there are two roads, one is by water, going west by boat, and the other is by land, going north by horse. No matter which road it is, it coincides with the emperor's westward journey." Huangfu Jianshou tapped the map. "Compared to Sun Ce going out to the South China Sea, this road may be closer."

Wang Ling suddenly realized. "So, Master Shisun arranged for Xun Yan to draw this map, not for the immediate battle, but for the future?"

"You can put it that way." Huangfu Jianshou hugged his arms. "The Central Plains has been settled, and the collapse of the Shi family brothers in Jiaozhou is imminent. The Northern Army will return to the court with Shi Sungong, and the westward expedition to Tianzhu will naturally fall on your shoulders. However, you and I should only be the deputy generals, not the chief generals."

"Who will be the chief general?"

Huangfu Jianshou raised his chin. "Nature is the person who is most familiar with the terrain."
