Reciting Sun Tzu's Art of War is not a difficult task, but to truly memorize it backwards and forwards, it is estimated that no one among the ministers present can do it. Although many smart people claim to be able to memorize some ancient books backwards and forwards, no one has ever really done this.
Pass.
After Gao Peng recited Sun Tzu's Art of War familiarly, he instantly conquered the hearts of all the ministers present. Only then did all the ministers present realize that it turned out that His Highness the Third Highness was hiding something deeply.
"Gao Heng!" At this moment, Gao Fei suddenly interrupted Gao Peng's endorsement and shouted loudly.
Weiwei Gao Heng walked out from among the many ministers, cupped his hands and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Get an archery target, stand a hundred steps away, and give Marquis Tang a bow and three arrows."
Gao Heng immediately followed Gao Fei's instructions, and then handed the bow and arrow to Gao Peng.
"Peng'er, just show your archery skills to the ministers." Gao Fei had a hint of joy on his face.
After Gao Peng took the bow and arrow, he nodded, then immediately opened the bow and set the arrow, and then shot three arrows three times in succession. The three arrows followed one after the other and flew towards the target quickly.
, after the first arrow hits the bullseye, the
The two arrows followed closely, and the sharp blade directly pierced the tail of the first arrow, nailing it on the bullseye again, while the third arrow also followed closely and pierced the tail of the second arrow.
, all three arrows nailed the same bullseye.
"Wow... such a powerful archery skill... His Highness the Third Prince actually has the ability to pierce a Yang with a hundred steps..."
After a while, all the ministers changed their impressions of Gao Peng, but for Guo Jia and Sima Yi, it posed a great threat.
Gao Fei laughed after seeing it, but he was thinking in his heart: "If Gao Qi and Gao Lin were here, I'm afraid they would be shocked when they saw that their silly brother had such abilities?"
He gradually put away his smile, and then said to many ministers: "Who has any objection to letting the Marquis of Tang lead troops on an expedition?"
There was silence in the main hall, and no one had any objections.
Gao Fei stood up slowly and said to the ministers: "Don't just look at people by their appearance. You must always remember this sentence. Now, I will make Peng'er a partial general and rush to Runan immediately to return to the tiger."
Lieutenant General Huang Zhong dispatched Pang Tong, the Grand Lieutenant of the Privy Council, to accompany Peng'er as Huang Zhong's military advisor."
Gao Peng and Pang Tong said at the same time: "I obey the order!"
Gao Fei said: "We'll stop here today. The cabinet ministers will come to the imperial study room for a meeting after breakfast and then retire."
After the words fell, Gao Fei turned around and left. Jia Xu, the Minister of Intelligence, hurriedly followed and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Gao Fei said: "Come with me."
As a result, the officials exited the hall one after another. Guo Jia and Sima Yi looked at each other, hesitated to speak, and finally left the hall.
In the side hall, Gao Fei was sitting at the dining table and said to Jia Xu, who was also sitting at the dining table: "What important matter do you have? I am the only confidant here, so just say it."
Jia Xu hurriedly said: "For your information, Your Majesty, I once sent Lin Chu, the left minister of the Intelligence Department, to pay close attention to every move of His Highness the Third Highness. It stands to reason that Lin Chu would not hide such important information. Until today, I didn't know about His Highness the Third Highness."
He was actually both civil and military. This meant that Lin Chu was
Over the past few years, every time I gave you false information about the Third Highness, I could not help but worry when I contacted him about the leak. Lin Chu might have been bribed by the Third Highness. If this is true, then the Third Highness would
Don’t you know everything about my intelligence department?”
"Oh, so this is what you are talking about. It's nothing, just a small matter. Lin Chu is a scout trained by Bian Xi himself, and he is even more loyal to me. The last time Sima Yi paid a lot of money to buy information, he didn't do anything.
He hesitated to report the matter. You should be very clear about this matter. However, I asked him not to pay any more attention to Peng'er's matter. Therefore, except for me, no one in the Intelligence Department knew about Peng'er at all.
matter."
After Jia Xu heard Gao Fei's explanation, it finally made sense. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "I see, then I was a little too worried and made the emperor laugh."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "This shows that you are attentive. You are hungry too, so come eat with me. We have a meeting later."
"I obey the decree."
After breakfast, Gao Fei and Jia Xu went directly to the Imperial Study Room, and then asked someone to get a topographic map of the Wu Kingdom simulated with sand and soil, and began to wait quietly for the arrival of the cabinet.
Half an hour later, Xun You, Guo Jia, Sima Yi, Gai Xun, Tian Feng, Bing Yuan, Guan Ning and others all arrived. After paying homage to Gao Fei, the meeting began.
"This is the topographic map of Wu State. The little red flag here is the distribution map of our army's troops on the border. The battle to destroy Wu is a war that our country has been brewing for a long time. Therefore, this battle will inevitably mobilize our country's elite troops.
Strong general, this
I decided to use an army of 500,000, falsely claiming to be a million, and divide the troops into four groups to jointly attack the State of Wu. I have also written a secret order to go to the northwest to summon Ma Chao and Xu Huang to assist in the battle. I also ordered Wei Yan to guard the Western Regions closely.

Guan Ning will be my assistant."
As soon as these words were said, several ministers in the cabinet bowed their heads one after another. They had no objections to Jia Xu's supervision of the country, because Jia Xu was indeed Gao Fei's confidant, not to mention that it would not be a day or two for Jia Xu to stay behind.
Jia Xu handled these matters in an orderly manner and never let Gao Fei down.
Afterwards, Gao Fei and the cabinet ministers began to formulate a strategy to destroy Wu, and they continued to discuss it until evening before finally coming to a conclusion.
Gao Fei organized the four armies into group armies respectively. First, he appointed Ding Guogong and Huwei General Gan Ning as the commander-in-chief of the first group army, with total control of Qingzhou and Xuzhou troops and the Jiangdu Port Navy, totaling 150,000 troops;
Ding Guogong, Hu Lie General Huang Zhong was the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, and the commander-in-chief
The division controlling Yuzhou has a total strength of 50,000; Weiyuan General Zhang He is the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, and the division controlling Yizhou and Jingnan has a total strength of 100,000; Gao Fei will organize the remaining 200,000 troops into the third group army.
The fourth group army, led by himself, carried out a devastating blow to the state of Wu.
Each group army's strategy plan is different and forms its own system. During the strategy of conquering the Kingdom of Wu, unless special events occur, Gao Fei will no longer interfere. In this way, he will fully hand over the command to
In the hands of the commander of each group army, it played a certain role in the flexibility of the entire war.
For this reason, Gao Fei specially sent Xun You to serve as a military advisor to the First Army Group, and asked Fazheng to serve as a military advisor to the Third Army Group. Then he personally dispatched generals and personally wrote the list of generals for each group army.
After writing it, he began to distribute imperial edicts to various ministers, asking them to arrive at the headquarters of the group army within half a month. Gao Fei was quietly waiting for the arrival of Ma Chao and Xu Huang in the capital, but while waiting, let
Zhao Yun, the mighty general, led the army first, using Jiangling City as the temporary capital.

Xunyang City.
Since Zhou Yu left, Lu Su has had a heavy burden on his shoulders, but fortunately nothing has happened, and the acting governor has done a satisfactory job.
On the third day of July, the sun was high in the sky and it was extremely hot early in the morning. Lu Su was dealing with official documents when he suddenly saw a government official coming over with a letter in his hand and a look of panic on his face.
Asked: "What are you panicking about?"
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Zhuge Liang, the prefect of Jiangxia in the Chinese Kingdom. He sent someone across the river to deliver it, asking the Governor to open it in person."
After Lu Su took the letter, he saw six beautiful words written on the envelope: "In person, the Governor of Wu". He couldn't help but admired: "This man's calligraphy is very good, and it can be called a superior work. It seems that Zhuge Liang is indeed a talented person."
It’s a pity that such a talented person cannot be used by our country of Wu..."
He was full of admiration, but his hands were not idle. He opened the envelope directly, and after carefully reading the contents of the letter, he shook his head and said with a smile: "It has been more than half a month since Gong Jin left. It seems that this time Huaxia
The country's news is not very well-informed, otherwise Zhuge Liang would not be regarded as the governor of Zhou Dynasty. Since he invited Gong Jin to cross the river for a chat, I will reluctantly do it."
Afterwards, Lu Su sent someone to call Zhou Tai and Ling Cao, and he wrote a reply, and then asked his servants to give it to the messenger, who would take the letter back.
By the time Zhou Tai and Ling Cao arrived in front of Lu Su, Lu Su's reply had already been sent for a long time. The two of them bowed to Lu Su respectfully and said, "What are your orders when the Governor summons us?"
Lu Su said: "Sit down, you two generals don't have to be so formal. I am just acting as the governor. When the governor comes back, I will go to Chaisang. I called the two generals today because I hope that the two generals will
After being able to strictly monitor Jiang Fang for two days, I plan to go to Jiangbei to meet with Zhuge Liang, the newly appointed prefect of Jiangxia."
After hearing this, Zhou Tai asked: "The governor wants to see Zhuge Liang?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Su nodded and asked.
"That Zhuge Liang is a treacherous villain. It was he who deceived the Governor of Zhou into the city during the battle of Jiangling. Our army suffered a lot of losses at that time. Does the Governor want to see him for anything?" Zhou Tai asked.
"Oh, it's just an ordinary visit, nothing important."
"Then the general would advise the Governor not to go. At this time, the relationship between the two countries is unprecedentedly tense. What if Zhuge Liang detained the Governor after he went? We promised Governor Zhou
, to protect the Governor."
Lu Su smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Zhuge Liang wants to invite the Governor of Zhou. I'm just going to set up an outpost to see what Zhuge Liang wants to do first. And I am an unknown person. What is Zhuge Liang detaining me for? That's it.
Prepare a boat for me tomorrow, I want to go see this Zhuge Liang alone."
"Alone? The Governor wants to go alone?" Ling Cao asked in surprise.
