Sun Quan's eyes lit up, he held the whip upside down, and bowed his hands in salute. "Your Majesty, please advise."

Liu He also focused and listened attentively.

The subject of leaping horses across bridges has always been a difficult point, and many horses have been lost for this.War horses are expensive, even if there is a loss standard, he still feels it is a pity.

"You can jump on land first, let the horse get used to the action, until it can easily jump enough distance. Then choose some shallow water places, let the horse adapt to the water surface, and relieve the psychological fear. Wait for both of these to be completed Now, it will be much easier to carry out actual combat.”

Sun Quan thought for a while and nodded again and again. "What Your Majesty said is true, this minister is reckless."

Liu He also said: "Your Majesty's method is good, step by step, the difficulty has been greatly reduced."

"Gongheng, this is your problem. The training plan is not reasonable enough." Liu Xie laughed. "When you encounter difficulties, you can break them down and reduce the difficulty, instead of being stubborn, or relying on the natural bravery of a small number of people. The foundation of the elite is well-trained, rather than relying on the talent of a few people. "

"Your Majesty's criticism is that I must reflect on myself deeply." Liu He laughed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." A fast horse came galloping and slowed down while walking side by side with Liu Xie. The female knight on horseback said loudly: "Sun Rui, the Marquis of the Northern Army, Wang Duan, the Marquis of Duting, and Chang Sheng Shi Jushou asks to see you."

Liu Xie frowned slightly.

It's normal for Shi Sunrui to ask for an audience, but why did Dutinghou Wangduan also come?

What's even more outrageous is that Jujun, the captain of Shesheng, did not come, but Jushou, the chief Shi, came. This is unreasonable.

Liu Xie thought about it and waved his hand. "Let them enter the camp and see you."

"Wei." The female knight responded, turned the horse's head, and galloped away.

Liu Xie thought about it, and said to Liu He, "Gongheng, why do you think Jushou appeared here?"

Liu He said indifferently: "It's not Jushou who surprised me, but Dutinghou. Jushou has a close relationship with Shenpei and Tian Feng. It's impossible to sit back and watch them be surrounded without saying a word. Dutinghou, I'm afraid I was bewitched by others, and messed things up."

Chapter 925

Master Sun Rui reined in his mount, and under the guidance of two female knights, walked slowly across the battlefield.

The pontoon bridge on the water, the soldiers crossing the river, and even the camp on the other side of the river all attracted his attention.Although he didn't know why, all this made him very relieved, and he was naturally full of confidence in the next siege and siege.

"The scheduling is good and orderly, and it is worthy of being an elite." Ju Shou said with emotion.

Sun Rui's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized.

That's right, the calmness and order shown by these soldiers are the source of confidence.The war is imminent, these soldiers are not only not nervous, but more calm, which is a symbol of self-confidence.

The so-called dumbfounded is this kind of situation.

A real master is always calm before a duel.

He thought about it. "The middle base camp is almost there."

Ju Shou smacked his lips and agreed with Shi Sun Rui's point of view.

The Northern Army built eight new battalions, and the middle battalion led by Xu Huang performed the best, and the other battalions could not match.Even the Infantry Battalion and the Shooting Battalion have not changed much, they are all veterans who have cooperated for many years, and they can only bow down when it comes to elites.

And Xu Huang is the young general who has followed the emperor for the longest time.

Shi Sun Rui and Ju Shou discussed the way of training soldiers, but Wang Duan stared at the backs of the two female knights leading the way in a daze.

He has long heard that there is a female knight beside the emperor, but this is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes.These female knights are not only beautiful and slim, but also have a cheerful personality, which is completely different from the concubines he usually sees. Their frowns and smiles are particularly attractive.

The two female knights were very unhappy with Wang Duan's greedy eyes, but they also knew that Wang Duan was not an ordinary person and had a close relationship with the emperor, so it was not good to be too outrageous.

Wang Duan saw it in his eyes, and felt like there were bugs crawling in his heart.

When they came to the imperial camp, the three female knights, Sun Rui, handed over to Huben, and hurried away.

After a while, an edict from the emperor's mouth came out from the camp, calling Sun Rui and Jushou to enter the camp.

Wang Duan's face suddenly flushed.

Shi Sunrui and Jushou bowed to accept the order, entered the camp with Huben, came to the imperial tent, and signed up to see you.

The tent door was lifted, and the emperor came out, laughing before saying anything.

"Master Sun Gong, are you safe?"

Shi Sun Rui was moved, and quickly bowed to salute. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and the minister is safe."

Liu Xie held Shi Sun Rui's arm in one hand, invited Shi Sun Rui to enter the account, and saluted Ju Shou. "The public came just in time, and I have something to ask you for advice."

Ju Shou cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare, I would like to serve His Majesty."

The three of them entered the tent and took their seats. Liu Xie ordered someone to serve drinks and exchanged a few pleasantries.

What Liu Xie is most concerned about is the situation of the Eighth Battalion of the Northern Army, especially the newly built battalions.In order to strengthen the strength of the Northern Army, he stuffed a group of fierce generals into the Northern Army, which also put a lot of pressure on Shi Sun Rui.Whether Shi Sunrui can control these people and make full use of them is a question he has been worried about.

Sun Rui immediately reported the training situation of the Northern Army.

He mentioned Xu Huang emphatically.

Xu Huang's role is not only to train soldiers, but also to turn the middle base battalion into a real elite infantry, but also to demonstrate his role.

Xu Huang was born in a humble family. In the first battle of Huayin, he defeated cavalry with steps and became a marquis in the first battle.Although the new generals who joined the Northern Army were all heroes, no one was unconvinced by Xu Huang, even the most conceited Guan Yu.

Xu Huang once fought under Wei Jie's command. After rejoining the Northern Army, he respected Wei Jie, Ju Jun and other old people very much.Under his leadership, other people can also consciously restrain their temper and maintain the basic harmony among colleagues.

Without Xu Huang taking the lead, this team would be really hard to lead.

"Your Majesty has made painstaking arrangements for my minister, and I am very grateful." Shi Sun Rui saluted Liu Xie again.

Liu Xie smiled and waved his hands.

Shi Sunrui could feel his good intentions, and his arrangement was not in vain.

"Can the Northern Army take on the main offensive task?"

"No problem at all." Shi Sunrui smiled confidently: "I only want one thing."

"what?"

"The drawing of the pontoon bridge." Shi Sun Rui raised his gray eyebrows lightly. "I walked all the way just now, and I saw that the pontoon bridge is very good. If I want to cross the main stream of Zhangshui, I must use the pontoon bridge. Maybe I will be given a picture by His Majesty, and I will take it back and let Ma Jun of the Chariot Camp copy it. It will surely get twice the result with half the effort."

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth curled slightly, and he ordered someone to fetch the blueprint of the pontoon bridge.

He has always been curious about the fact that Ma Jun refused to be a professor at the Taixue, but instead went to the Chariot Battalion of the Northern Army.He vaguely heard rumors that Zhen Mi did some work, but he didn't ask Zhen Mi what kind of work it was.

He also heard that when Jushou was in Luoyang last time, he met Zhen Mi.

But he didn't want to take the initiative to ask about these things.

Liu Xie then discussed with Shi Sun Rui and Ju Shou the arrangement for the Northern Army to attack Yecheng.

The northern army's position was in the north of Yecheng, across the Zhang River, the battlefield could not be spread out.How to provide cover for the siege soldiers has always been a concern of Liu Xie.

Shi Sunrui had been prepared for a long time, and he drew a sketch while explaining.

"Gonghe has been in Yecheng for many years and is familiar with the situation in Yecheng, so I can make arrangements early. I have ordered Ma Jun to prepare, build nest carts and watchtowers, place archers on them, and use strong bows and crossbows to attack the city. General. Although the number of people is small, the Shesheng Battalion has done targeted training for this purpose, and it can make great achievements. With the middle base battalion to attack and break through, and the infantry battalion to expand the results of the battle, we will surely be able to defeat them..."

Shi Sun Rui narrated, Ju Shou added, the two talked for nearly half an hour, how to set up camp, where to get materials, build ordnance, and where to arrange attack points, one by one.

Liu Xie was very satisfied after listening.

It is appropriate to entrust the main offensive task to the Northern Army. Shi Sun Rui will surely be able to make meritorious service in this battle and accumulate military exploits for being promoted to Taiwei in the future.

"It seems that the Northern Army is ready for the first battle."

"Yes, the Northern Army is ready." Shi Sun Rui left the table and bowed again. "But the soldiers are fierce and the battle is in danger. I hope that your majesty will consider it if you have a ruthless request."

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly. "tell me the story."

Shi Sunrui rushed to Xingzai at this time, accompanied by Jushou, certainly not just to report on the preparations before the war.

"Your Majesty, those who rule the world, there is no battle. Before the army of your majesty arrives, Shenpei and Tian Feng have sent people to ask for surrender. It is a good thing. I hope that your majesty will forgive his crimes and give him a lighter punishment. The people among the ministers will also be honored by your majesty." Grace, do not let the innocent die."

Liu Xie's eyes flickered, and then looked at Jushou who was beside him.

Jushou was also surprised.

Along the way, he and Shi Sun Rui discussed the matter of interrogation and Tian Feng's surrender many times.Sun Rui, a scholar, opposed the lenient trial and assignment and Tian Feng, and insisted on asking Jizhou to live in the fields without leaving any room.He never expected that Shi Sunrui would intercede in front of the emperor.

Isn't he afraid that the emperor will be angry and dismiss him, taking away his chance to make meritorious deeds?

This is not a matter of him alone, but a major decision related to whether the scholar-bureaucrats can control the military power.

He came here with Shi Sun Rui just to take on this responsibility and prevent Shi Sun Rui from taking risks.

Unexpectedly, Shi Sunrui still caught him by surprise, and directly pointed out his purpose in front of the emperor.

Ju Shou thought for a while, then left the table immediately, and worshiped side by side with Shi Sun Rui. "Your Majesty, Shenpei and Tian Feng sent envoys to contact Jujun, the captain of Shesheng, and implored the ministers to ask His Majesty for mercy. Zhonghou didn't know about it beforehand, and he only heard about it on the way here. He came here, except to ask His Majesty's report on preparations for war is also a false report of household registration for Handan."

Chapter 926 The Last Kindness

Handan false account?Liu Xie was slightly taken aback.

After Zhuge Liang went to Handan to take office, there was no news. Why did the scholar Sun Rui come here to report the false account registration?

Liu Xie suddenly thought of Wang Duan outside the camp.

This matter will not be related to Wang Duan, Zhuge Liang is inconvenient to deal with it, and Shi Sun Rui is not good at handling it, so I have to bring it to Xingzai?

"Get up and talk." Liu Xie waved his hand.

Sun Rui prostrated himself on the ground. "I dare say so. Jizhou is a large state in Hebei, which is related to seclusion and stability. Moreover, the late emperor and Emperor Xiaohuan both came from Jizhou, and your majesty's biological mother is also from Jizhou. Jizhou can also be regarded as your majesty's own state. Even if you can't be extra merciful, it is not appropriate to kill Too heavy."

Liu Xie frowned. "Are you forcing me to agree?"

"How dare I, I just ask Your Majesty to think twice."

"Mr. Shisun..." Jushou was panicked, and he didn't care about being impolite, so he hurriedly tore at the hem of Shisun Rui's clothes, and gave Shisun Rui a wink, telling him not to be too stubborn, which angered the emperor.

Shi Sunrui ignored him, and knelt down in front of the emperor, with his forehead on the ground, motionless.

Liu Xie snorted. "Are you really willing to give up such an easy job?"

"I am willing." Shi Sun Rui said without hesitation: "The minister did not go to Liangzhou from Gaiyuangu to fight for personal fame and gain. If the city of Ye was destroyed without attacking, and Shenpei and Tian Feng became ministers, tens of thousands of soldiers To avoid death, I am not only willing to give up the credit, even my life, I will not hesitate."

"This is not something you did alone."

"Yes, but I have also thought about it. Jia Xu is both civil and military. He is loyal to His Majesty, and he is more qualified than the minister to be a captain. As for others, there are many latecomers, and there are many people who are superior to the minister in terms of knowledge, tolerance, and ability. But Make your majesty believe it, what difference does it make if you are a lieutenant or not?"

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows lightly, but he was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Shi Sun Rui looked away, no longer had any obsession with the position of Taiwei, and was willing to give up this opportunity for the sake of Yecheng.

Liu Xie thought about it, got up and came to Shi Sun Rui, and stretched out his hand to help him. "Master Sun Gong, Gong Yu, stand up and speak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Sun Rui bowed again and got up.

Ju Shou also got up and stood beside Shi Sun Rui.

Liu Xie patted Sun Rui's hand and sighed. "Master Sun Gong, I conquered Jizhou for the purpose of killing people. Therefore, the trial and death of Tian Feng have never been in my consideration. But if Jizhou implements Dutian, the common people can farm for themselves and will not be bullied. If you can get taxes to support the officials and benefit the people, why bother to cause more harm? The imperial court can pardon Yuan Shao, but can't it judge and match Tian Feng?"

Sun Rui was relieved. "Your Majesty is holy."

Ju Shou also breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little uneasy.

"But Shenpei and Tian Feng are ignorant of the current affairs, and guarding the city by themselves, so that the imperial court has no choice but to mobilize the army. Is it what a minister should do?" Liu Xie's face darkened. "If you don't give severe punishment, I'm afraid that everyone will have grievances, and they will raise troops to occupy the city, and even take people as hostages to bargain with the court. Mr. Sun, what will you do when that time comes?"

Sun Rui had already prepared for it. "Your Majesty, Shen Pei and Tian Feng's crimes are unforgivable, just punish the first and not the rest."

Liu Xie let go of Shi Sun Rui's hand, walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps, then turned to look at Jushou.

"Gongyu, are the civil and military men in the city, heroes of Jizhou, or ignorant children?"

Jushou groaned secretly in his heart, bowed his head and remained silent.

"It doesn't look like a child." Liu Xie sneered: "In that case, don't they know that Tian Feng is going against the law? Why don't they go all out to fight against him? Instead, they respond everywhere and become enemies of the court? I heard that some people are Traveling thousands of miles, I brought my family with me, prepared my own food, and rushed to Yecheng."

He walked back to Shi Sun Rui. "Master Sun Gong, are these people... also innocent?"

Shi Sunrui bowed and said: "They are indeed guilty, but they are not guilty of death. I think that they can confiscate their homes and exile them in remote areas, so that they can make meritorious deeds and reflect on their mistakes."

Liu Xie blinked and looked at Jushou. "What do you think?"

Jushou was bitter in his heart, but he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"If so, it's a blessing."

This punishment is not light, but Shi Sun Rui has already agreed, and it is useless if he does not agree.

If this opportunity is missed, the only people waiting for Yecheng are the destruction of the city and the destruction of jade and stone. Those in the city have no chance to surrender.

Although the punishment of exile in remote areas is also very heavy, it is better than direct clan punishment.

Liu Xie nodded. "Then you just reply to Shen Pei, Tian Feng, the chief evil clan, and others to exile overseas. Don't they want to change the dynasty and seal the country? The overseas world is vast and there is a lot to do."
