Chapter 072 The Rise and Fall of the People
Zhou Yu is very literary and elegant, and his martial arts are not bad, but in terms of physical fitness, he is still quite far from Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was in good health, otherwise he would not have become a little overlord. In addition, he deliberately strengthened his training. The square dance version of Tai Chi, which is at least half an hour every morning and evening, will gesture at cloud hands whenever he has time. Now his physical fitness is getting higher. Whether it is strength, speed, explosive power or endurance, he is far superior to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu rushed out more than 200 steps with his blood and courage, and was already a little breathless, but he was calm and had the energy to tease Zhou Yu while running.
Climbing the mountain was already exhausting, so Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and chased after more than a hundred steps. He was so tired that he was out of breath, his legs became weak, and he didn't even have the strength to argue with Sun Ce. He could only stop, hunch his waist, hold his knees with both hands, and breathe heavily.
Suddenly, his heart moved. Sun Ce was right. This man was like walking on a mountain road. He couldn't be too eager to achieve success, otherwise he wouldn't go far. He woke me up in a different way. I was angry at his frivolity and vulgarity, but I didn't know that he had good intentions and even drew his sword at him.
"Oh--" Zhou Yu looked at the sword in his hand, sighed, raised his hand, and threw the sword away. A silver light drew out from the moonlight in the long sword and disappeared among the forest.
Sun Ce left and was puzzled. "Why did you throw away the sword?"
"I just need to keep the scabbard, remind myself to be humble." Zhou Yu looked at the place where the sword disappeared, stroked the scabbard, and sighed quietly. "Bo Fu, thank you. I understand the principle that hasteness is not understood. Don't worry, I won't be anxious anymore."
Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best for Zhou Yu to understand himself. For a smart person like him, no matter how reasonable other people's words make sense, it would be useless if he couldn't listen to them.
"I'll be relieved if you can think like this." Sun Ce also put away his smile and pointed to Xiangyang City in the distance. "You have studied with my father for so long and I must have gained a lot. Don't force it, just treat it as a lesson. Practice what you have learned and achieve what you can achieve."
"Okay." Zhou Yu nodded vigorously. He thought for a while and said, "Bo Fu, are you going to fight?"
"I?"
"Yes, I think this is a good opportunity for you to experience the battlefield." Once you figure it out, Zhou Yu quickly regained his wisdom. "Ling Zun is from a corps, and the generals around him are all credited with using swords. They don't like people who sit and talk about it, nor do they like cowards. If you want to win their respect, you must be able to fight in front of the battle like them and fight in close combat. You have good martial arts and can do better than them, but you lack the opportunity to experience it. This time, when you attack Xiangyang, our opponents are Jingzhou County soldiers, powerful troops, and those in charge of command have no combat experience, which is just for trial."
Sun Ce thought for a moment and felt it was reasonable. Sun Jian crawled out of the dead. He could enjoy his achievements and become a second generation general, but it was difficult to get the recognition of Cheng Pu and others. Sun Ce's ability to be supported by Cheng Pu and others in history should have a certain relationship with his bravery. Sun Quan did not have such ability, and he was full of dangers when he succeeded to the throne. Even Sun Ben and Sun Fu had no confidence in him.
Everything has its first time. It is the first time to go into battle. Facing Liu Biao, the rabble led by Kuai Yue is better than facing the camp led by Gao Shun. If Xiangyang can be conquered, it will not only solve Sun Jian's worries, but also a beautiful start to him and Zhou Yu.
"Okay, I'll go into battle too." Sun Ce gritted his teeth.
Standing on the top of Xianshan Mountain, the lights in Xiangyang City were lit, and the city was even more silhouetted, with a river in the distance. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu stood side by side, thinking that they would wear armor to fight with others tomorrow, and inexplicably wanted to curse themselves. Those who read the story thought that heroes and generals fought in the world, but those who performed the story only wanted talented men and beautiful women in the back garden. What was this his thing?
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yu chuckled: "Nervous?"
"No." Sun Ce was indeed a little nervous, but he didn't want Zhou Yu to look down on it. He said seriously: "In the battle tomorrow, casualties are inevitable. It's okay for us to shed blood and sacrifice for fame and fortune, but what are the ordinary people?"
Zhou Yu's smile became lighter and he sighed softly.
Sun Ce originally wanted to pretend, but now he felt a little moved. When he thought of the famous lyrics, he couldn't help but chant softly.
"The peaks are like gathering, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, I feel hesitant. I am sad that the Qin and Han dynasties have been passed by the palaces and palaces. The prosperity of the people will suffer; the destruction of the people will suffer."
Thinking of Xiangyang, which is about to experience war, and Luoyang, which is about to be burned by Dong Zhuo, Sun Ce was very sad, and every word was full of sadness, especially the last two sentences, which were even more sad and desolate, tear-jerking. Zhou Yu was surprised and turned to look at Sun Ce. He was stunned for a long time, clapping his hands and sighing.
"Bo Fu, good poetry. How can I do it if there is a poem but no music? I will compose a song, and you can listen to it."
After saying that, he cleared his throat and sang while clapping his hands and beating. His voice was originally clear, but now he sang it low, like a war drum, and each sound sang to the heart. The rhythm was not complicated, but one chant and three sighs were touching. Sun Ce listened twice and couldn't help but sang it with him.
"The peaks are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are inside and outside Tongguan Road..."
In the distance, Pang Tong heard it clearly and his eyes were inexplicably wet. "I can't get to know anyone."
——
When Sun Ce learned that Sun Ce was going to go on the battlefield himself, Sun Jian said nothing, but just patted Sun Ce on the shoulder.
"Be careful."
"Here." Sun Ce responded, explained a few words, turned around and came out of the account. When he returned to his tent, he was about to ask Lin Feng to arrange someone to invite Huang Zhong to discuss matters, but he saw a large group of people surrounding the tent. Lin Feng was talking to a young man with a friendly expression and looked like an acquaintance. Seeing Sun Ce get up, Lin Feng hurriedly pulled the young man over.
The young man bowed his body to salute. "Beidou Feng paid homage to the lieutenant. From now on, he will be ordered by the general to protect the lieutenant and ask the lieutenant to give instructions."
Sun Ce stared at the young man for a while. This person is about the same age as Lin Feng, in his early twenties, and is agile and described as a brave man. It is obvious that Sun Jian asked him to come to him, and it is understandable that he strengthened the guards. But this name is a bit strange, his surname is Beidou, does he have such a surname? How can he have a strong anime flavor?
"Your surname is Bei or Beidou? Why haven't I heard of such a surname?"
Beidou Feng patted his head and laughed. "It's normal that the general has never heard of it. Beidou is my own surname. As for the original surname, I have forgotten it."
"Forgot?" Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. "You didn't have to do something or mess with enemies you can't mess with. You have to change your name, right?"
Beidou Feng was shocked and after a moment, he gave a thumbs up. "Captain, how did you know?"
Sun Ce snorted, ignored him, and turned around to enter the account.
Beidou Feng looked back at Lin Feng, looking incredible. "Crazy, did you say that?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "The captain's methods are unpredictable. Can you hide this from him? Don't think too much, be careful when doing things, don't be chaotic again."
