Following Diao Chan's narration, Sun Quan roughly understood the whole story.
Previously, Diao Chan rushed all the way to Bashu, but was blocked and assassinated by Sun Ce's men. Sun Ce wanted Diao Chan to retreat when she faced difficulties, but Diao Chan was a one-minded type, and the big road was impassable, so Diao Chan retreated and chose a small path. The other disciples of Cihang Jingzhai were just covering for Diao Chan.
As a result, when Diao Chan was walking through the jungle, she accidentally discovered another group of people also walking in the jungle.
Originally, Diao Chan was unwilling to cause trouble, but in this era, leaving the main road alone and traveling through the primeval forest was a life-threatening act for ordinary people.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
suspicious. Too suspicious.
Diao Chan suspected that this might be related to a certain military operation, so she secretly pursued him. The other party probably thought that there would be no other people in the virgin forest, and did not deliberately cover up their traces.
In this way, Diao Chan found the target easily. Unexpectedly, they discovered that they were actually a group of monks.
"Most of the eminent monks from the Central Plains have a dignified appearance, and their clothes are not luxurious, but at least they are plain. But this group of monks, dressed in gray and tattered clothes, slovenly, with strong bones but thin bodies, looked like refugees, but they were full of energy. As soon as I arrived, I was They discovered it." Diao Chan said.
"Ascetic?" Sun Quan asked.
"That's right." Diao Chan nodded, "Buddhism in the Central Plains is mostly missionary. The great monks major in Buddhism and Zen. But Buddhism in the Western Regions is different. In addition to Zen masters, there are many Ascetics, what they cultivate is the body, and what they cultivate is the mind.”
"And I was not surprised to see a group of ascetics. It is reasonable for such a group of people to appear here. Now that the other party discovered me, I naturally showed up. Although the language is not clear, the goodwill between each other can be felt. . After saluting, I planned to leave, after all, I have more important things to do." Diao Chan said.
"Wait!" Sun Quan suddenly interrupted, "You haven't noticed my father until this moment?"
"General Sun is among them, no different from the group of monks." Diao Chan replied, glancing at Sun Quan. She knew what Sun Quan was asking, "Yes, General Sun is not being detained."
Dad, he escaped into Buddhism and became a monk?
This thought just passed by Sun Quan in a flash. Sun Quan knew that things could never be that simple. Otherwise, Diao Chan wouldn’t be here.
"Just when I was about to leave, an old man in the team suddenly went crazy, as if he had encountered something very painful. He struggled on the ground, curled up with his head in his hands, and shouted at the same time - "
"Tao means that the people agree with their superiors, so they can die with them and live with them without fear of danger.
Heaven is yin and yang, cold and heat, and the seasons.
The land refers to distance, danger, danger, narrowness, death and life.
Generals are wise, trustworthy, benevolent, courageous and strict.
Dharma refers to music system, official way, and main application. "
Sun Quan's face was gloomy, and he just listened to Diao Chan's story silently.
"At first, I didn't know what it meant. It was just an accident that among this group of ascetic monks from the Western Regions, there was also a Central Plains man. After this old Central Plains man went crazy, the surrounding monks immediately meditated and chanted sutras around him. It was no longer the case. It was the first time I saw him like this. The subtle Sanskrit music gradually made the old man calm down, and the pain on his face gradually disappeared. During this time, I finally figured out that something was wrong." Diao Chan said and looked at Sun Quan.
Sun Quan sighed and nodded,
"The art of war is deceitful. This is Sun Tzu's Art of War."
"I was just guessing at the time, but when I looked over with this guess, I could vaguely see the shadow of General Sun in the old man's facial features." Diao Chan said. At this point, Diao Chan knew that there was no need for her to go to Bashu anymore. , because there are more important things at hand.
collapse!
Sun Quan's clenched fist finally burst out and hit the tree next to him. The big tree broke down.
"I had a bad premonition when I found Zu Mao and found that he had lost all his memory. How could it be such a coincidence that he lost his memory when he said he had lost his memory!" Sun Quan said bitterly.
The purpose of arresting Sun Jian was "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and if Sun Jian was awake, no matter how severe the torture, he would never reveal a word of Sun Tzu's "Art of War"!
The enemy is obviously well prepared, and they have the means to deal with people mentally! Therefore, Zu Mao lost his memory. Therefore, Sun Jian was delirious.
Sun Quan thought of this, and Diao Chan naturally thought of it too.
"For many days after that, I heard General Sun shouting these words repeatedly, and of course some others intermittently. The enemy chose to make General Sun lose his mind, and naturally took the corresponding risks. Obviously, they did not get a complete answer. "The Art of War"." Diao Chan said, otherwise, Sun Jian would not be alive today.
Sun Quan forced himself to calm down so that he could think rationally.
"You have been following her for many days, but have you ever tried to take action?" Sun Quan asked Diao Chan.
"I initially planned to negotiate with them. Although we didn't understand the language, they could understand some of the most basic meanings. In my opinion, these ascetics didn't understand Chinese, and they might have just accidentally saved the suffering General Sun. As a result, But I was rejected." Diao Chan said, "From that day on, I clearly felt the hostility of this group of people. Because I cared about General Sun, I did not take action rashly, but they repeatedly took action to force me to leave."
"How is their military strength?" Sun Quan asked.
Unexpectedly, Diao Chan's answer surprised him.
"If one person comes, I can still deal with it. If two people come, I can only retreat." Diao Chan said.
What? !
Although Diao Chan's current skills are not as good as those of Sun Quan and Tong Yuan, she is definitely one of the best in the world. Are these monks so powerful?
At first, Sun Quan thought it was Diao Chan who was trying to kill a rat, which was why he delayed rescuing him. But now it seems that his hard power is actually not enough.
The world is so big, and the Central Plains is not the only place with outstanding people. Sun Quan understood this. Since the Central Plains can produce so many masters, other civilized countries will naturally have them too. But no matter what, it is definitely rare to reach the realm of Diao Chan. To be able to dispatch so many strong men at once, there must be a huge force behind it.
"So, you asked Liu Bei for help?" Sun Quan looked at Diao Chan and asked. Diao Chan said before that Liu Bei had so-called luck, and this was it. Once Liu Bei captures Sun Jian, he will indeed be qualified to negotiate with Sun Quan.
"I didn't deliberately look for Liu Bei. In order not to lose him, I couldn't escape and left, so I could only leave clues along the way. And those monks took General Sun all the way south. You know, Jingnan is Liu Bei's territory today. ." Diao Chan said. Therefore, it was Liu Bei's people who first discovered the clues left by Diao Chan.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Sun Quan frowned and questioned,
"Now that Liu Bei knows about it and sends troops, are you still afraid that people will escape?"
Diao Chan, who had not rested for several days and nights, was actually very tired, but she still endured the fatigue and explained to Sun Quan while leading the way.
"The commotion is getting louder. What will you do if you find out? Besides, Liu Bei is also worried that if someone gets cornered and hurts General Sun, you may fight for him."
If the person is saved, that is a bargaining chip. If the person is not saved, he will become a mortal enemy. Therefore, Liu Bei was very cautious. He not only wanted to seize people, but also wanted to distance himself from them. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Liu Bei cannot use any of them. Today, Liu Bei is living in the cracks. He does not want to force Sun Quan to ignore the overall situation and destroy him first. In fact, as long as Cihang Jingzhai saved people and Cihang Jingzhai's support for Liu Bei, that would be Liu Bei's bargaining chip.
Therefore, figure it out slowly, just to be sure.
