The mountain man has his own clever plan. Just wait and see, this Huaiyin will be mine soon. "Sun Quan laughed.
"oh?"
Diao Chan's eyes flashed, and she saw that Sun Quan's words were so confident, so he must not be without purpose. Besides, Sun Quan is not the kind of person who talks big. However, with Sun Quan's current military strength, it may not be easy for him to capture the city of Huaiyin that he is defending. Thinking of Sun Quan's strange whereabouts tonight, Diao Chan's heart moved and she couldn't help but ask,
"Who did you go to Huaiyin to meet?"
In Diao Chan's opinion, Sun Quan must have secretly met with someone important in Huaiyin, thinking that he was the one inside at the critical moment. Otherwise, why would he be so confident that he could capture Huaiyin quickly?
"Me? I haven't seen anyone." Sun Quan shook his head. He didn't lie to Diao Chan.
"See no one?"
Diao Chan couldn't believe it. Did Sun Quan go to Huaiyin to get some fresh air in the middle of the night? What makes Diao Chan even more unbelievable is that Diao Chan is sure that Sun Quan is not lying.
An illogical statement, but it is also true? For a moment, Diao Chan was really confused about what Sun Quan was planning!
Probably knowing Diao Chan's doubts, Sun Quan just smiled and didn't explain anything. Instead, he gave it up.
"Just because I haven't seen anyone, it means a lot. Okay, I won't say more, time is urgent, and I need to hurry up and prepare some things." After saying that, Sun Quan looked at Diao Chan, hesitated, and then said,
"Then, you come back to camp with me?"
Otherwise, in the middle of the night, Diao Chan came here in the dust. There is no village or shop in the front, and the nearest city of Huaiyin is the territory of the enemy. Is it possible that Diao Chan should be allowed to sleep in the wild?
"No need!"
Diao Chan quickly refused. Not to mention how inappropriate it was for her to enter the military camp as a woman, Sun Quan's ambiguous words before made Diao Chan so flustered that she did not dare to accept Sun Quan's invitation.
"I'm going to go to White Horse Temple. The eminent monks of White Horse Temple have high prestige throughout the Central Plains. As long as they nod, their influence in Buddhism is equivalent to the entire Buddhism nodding." Diao Chan said .
Sun Quan immediately frowned and said in a deep voice,
"I'm afraid it will be dangerous if we go to Luoyang."
Diao Chan smiled carelessly,
"I'm just an ordinary person, and I have martial arts skills at my side. Where in the world can I go?"
"You have served in my selection department, do you really think you are an ordinary person? Once Cao Cao or other princes find out that you are trying to win over Buddhists for me, you will definitely be in danger!" Sun Quan said seriously. There is no airtight wall in the world. Even if Diao Chan does not come into contact with Buddhism, once she comes into contact with Buddhism, the news will inevitably leak out. Sun Quan believes that there are informants from various forces in any organization, and it is impossible for the organization to have completely unified opinions.
As long as there are monks who oppose the alliance between Buddhism and the Sun family, it is entirely possible for them to deliberately reveal this news to others.
"Why don't you go if there is danger?" Diao Chan looked at Sun Quan seriously and said.
Sun Quan shook his head,
"There's no need to go there in person if there's danger."
Seeing that Diao Chan wanted to say something else, Sun Quan interrupted him directly.
"Besides, water far away cannot save fire near. I have just said that I want to capture Xiapi. But now, the biggest difficulty in capturing Xiapi is not that Xiapi is difficult to defeat, but that we must get there before Cao Cao. Succeeded. Therefore, cooperating with the Buddhists here in Xuzhou, or in other words, cooperating with the eminent monks of Futu Temple, is the top priority."
Having said that, Sun Quan decided directly and arrogantly,
"You stay and follow me for the time being. I will capture Huaiyin first and rush to Xiapi with my troops. Then you will come forward to contact the eminent monks of Futu Temple."
"You..." Diao Chan opened her mouth, hesitated, and finally couldn't help but said, "You, even if what you said makes sense, how can I, a woman, follow you back to the camp?"
"You are now dressed in men's clothing. How many people know that you are a woman?" Sun Quan couldn't help but ask.
Diao Chan's eyes widened and she gritted her teeth and said,
"At least someone knows!"
"Only some high-level officials know about it, and most of the rest don't know about it, right?" Sun Quan said, "You just said that the beacon fire plays on the princes. If we keep it secret, then no matter you are a man or a woman, you will not be able to avoid it. Some people will make irresponsible remarks. On the contrary, if we are honest and say after returning to the camp that you came to see me because of the change in the selection of the department, then even those who know your true identity will not have any idea in their hearts. That’s right!”
"That's ridiculous! If you are really honest and honest in the eyes of others, you won't sneak out to see me in the first place! Huh, if I had known better, I shouldn't have helped you!" Diao Chan said angrily. She was kindly helping Sun Quan. Unexpectedly, now I am in trouble.
"Help, you can't bear to see me, the coach, become the second King You of Zhou in the eyes of the people below, right? When the time comes, the general will leave, and Xuzhou will really be unable to fight." Sun Quan quickly requested. Of course, looking at his playful smile, I'm afraid this is not what he means. Just kidding, the soldiers here now belong to Wu Jing from beginning to end. Although Sun Quan is the nominal commander, he must still control this army through Wu Jing. Therefore, no matter how the soldiers below view Sun Quan, it does not have much impact on Sun Quan, as long as Wu Jing is still willing to listen to him.
This is Sun Quan. He doesn't care about military power, or even power. Sun Quan always holds the idea that when he wants to use it, he can borrow it, and when he doesn't want to use it, he should let it go. Sun Quan, who came from a modern society and was pampered since childhood, could not be like Sun Ce, who took the lead, charged into battle, and ate and lived with the soldiers.
Sun Quan doesn't like to lead troops, and he is not very good at commanding soldiers personally. If you look at what Sun Quan has been doing, you will know that he is either going to challenge others one-on-one, replacing the battle of the army with a personal fight, or Sun Quan just wants to Take advantage of the situation. Just like the Huainan Shouchun soldiers, Yuan Shu's remnants of the defeated generals were suddenly taken out. How much combat effectiveness could they have? In fact, Sun Quan didn't count on their combat effectiveness at all. What Sun Quan needed was to have so many soldiers to support him. Sun Quan needed these soldiers to increase his momentum!
"Go! Inch! In! Foot!"
Diao Chan clenched her fists.
Sun Quan, on the other hand, was there to talk and persuade. Sun Quan knew that no matter how angry Diao Chan looked, no matter how she scolded him, as long as Diao Chan didn't walk away, it meant that she had actually acquiesced in her heart.
Ever since, Diao Chan finally gave in and followed Sun Quan back to the camp. Of course, this was the limit. Sun Quan would not really go to the golden house to hide his beauty. He built a new tent for Diao Chan close to his tent. Wu Jing saw that at least Sun Quan and Diao Chan did not live together openly, so regardless of whether they had a private meeting at night, Wu Jing could only turn a blind eye.
However, it is obvious that the elder Wu Jing has overthought all this. Young people are prone to burning out, but this does not include Sun Quan who has a Taoist heart. After returning to the camp, Sun Quan went to work as soon as Diao Chan was settled. He didn't sleep all night.
