    Chapter 156 Illegitimate Son

    Sun Feng thought for a moment, stood up, bowed to Sun Shao first, then gestured to Lu Xun with his jaw, then turned to Sun Shao again and said, "Father, I think my uncle's worries are justified."

    "Oh, how does that make sense?" Sun Shao leaned on the back of the chair and raised his chin slightly. Lu Xun was about to give Sun Feng a smile in return, but when he saw Sun Shao's appearance, he had to put away the smile that had just bloomed.  When he got up, he was a little worried about Sun Feng.  Sun Shao was obviously not satisfied with Sun Feng's answer, and he was very worried that Sun Feng would anger Sun Shao because of him.

    Sun Feng also licked his lips nervously and cupped his hands again. He took this opportunity to organize his thoughts and then said: "Father, you have always said that the army cannot be profitable. This time, we can unite with Wei."  The Shuwu, Tianzhu, Kushan and Roman armies besieged the Sasanians, and our country, Yue, has always been the leader. As my uncle said, my father was not afraid of danger and used his body as bait to lure Ardashir to Axum and kill him.  The two princes Alpha and Shapur greatly weakened the morale of Sassanid, which gave the Kushans and Romans an opportunity to take advantage. General Cui was indispensable for the Romans to win the Battle of Byzantium. In the Battle of Egypt, the Romans were passive in order to preserve their strength.  I was lazy in fighting. If my uncle hadn't used surprise troops, I almost ruined my father's grand plan. No matter from which aspect, my victory over the country was the first achievement. As the saying goes, merit will be rewarded, and fault will be punished. In the case of the Romans,  With this kind of mentality, it is good not to punish them, but how can we let them participate in sharing the spoils equally, but we get nothing? My father is tolerant, but what will the soldiers think? When we return to Temu City in the future, will the ministers  Do you think this campaign is in vain?"

    Sun Feng spoke neither hastily nor slowly. Although he was a little nervous, he was well-founded. Sun Shao said nothing and kept watching him talk without a trace of a smile on his face.  After Sun Feng finished speaking, he bowed and saluted: "My humble opinion, I dare to ask my father for advice."

    Sun Shao turned his eyes to Lu Xun and said casually: "You think so too?"

    Lu Xun nodded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "My thoughts are the same as those of the Crown Prince. Your Majesty, please consult me."

    "You guys are on the same page." Sun Shao showed a salty smile, raised his hand and gently patted the finely carved cherry wood armrest. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "You guys  Being able to take the initiative to consider these things is a good thing in itself. Whether the ideas are thorough or not is secondary. Feng'er, your uncle is a thoughtful person. You should discuss things with him more often in the future and never act arbitrarily. Notice  If you listen to one side, it will be dark; if you listen to both, it will be bright.¡±

    "Here." Sun Feng nodded in agreement.

    "You can't be wrong about what you think. From the perspective of our Yue country, or purely from the perspective of our Vietnamese team, this battle was indeed worthless for us." Sun Shao stood  He stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked slowly in front of the table. His tone was soothing, as if he was explaining to Sun Feng and Lu Xun, but also talking to himself.  Lu Xun and Sun Feng glanced at each other, and unanimously concentrated on listening to Sun Shao's analysis.  Since Sun Shao said this, it was obvious that their views had been anticipated by him, and he also had a higher-level plan.

    "I tried my best to promote the alliance of the four countries, use Rome and Kushan to suppress Sassanid, and win opportunities for our development. This was my original plan." Sun Shao paused, and continued to move slowly: "Press  My original estimate was that the Sasanians would definitely not sit back and die. Later, they deliberately found excuses to lure the Kushans into starting a war. This was not unexpected. The Romans took advantage of the Sassanids' eastern expedition to send troops, and they also  In my plan, I originally wanted to use them to bring down the Sasanians. However, Maximus' betrayal was not in my plan. The Romans were in civil strife, which caused my plan to completely fail. This is why I  I couldn¡¯t have imagined it at first.¡±

    He stopped, looked at Lu Xun and Sun Feng who were all paying attention, and smiled bitterly: "So, I am prepared to fight this battle, but not now, but at least five years later."

    Lu Xun's eyes flashed, and he suddenly understood that things had changed beyond Sun Shao's plan. The Sasanians took advantage of the Romans' internal strife to force the Kushans to surrender, and then went straight to Aksum City, actually forcing Sun Shao to the  He had no choice but to fight. If he had withdrawn from Axum at that time, all his early plans would have been in vain. Therefore, he personally took the risk and used himself as bait to lure Aldashir under the city of Axum, and then launched all possible plans.  mobilized forces against the Sasanians.

    If you want to use others to fight a war, of course the benefits are indispensable. The Sassanid people only have so much property. In this case, of course they can't think about everything for themselves. Who else is willing to contribute?  For the Yue Kingdom, obtaining trophies was not the most important purpose. Uniting all forces to defeat the Sasanians and solving the immediate crisis was the most important thing.

    "I also make mistakes sometimes." Sun Shao shook his head helplessly: "Don't think that I can control the overall situation and fight like this.It seems that you are the real heroes. If you and Xia Hourong hadn't severely damaged Ardashir together, we would have definitely lost more than we gained in the end.  "

    When Lu Xun saw Sun Shao admitting his mistake in person and putting the credit on him and Xia Hourong, he suddenly felt a little unworthy: "It was the king who planned the strategy and won the battle thousands of miles away, and then the danger was saved. The ministers just did their best."  Just a portion.¡±

    Sun Fengjian raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment and said, "Then General Cui rushed to the Mediterranean, not originally to help the Romans fight?"

    Sun Shao smiled, very strangely, and shook his head: "When Cui Qian and the others started to set off, the Four Nations Alliance had just begun. How could I have thought of this day? I asked him to go to the Mediterranean. I originally planned to let him  Those who return to their old profession.¡±

    Lu Xun suddenly realized it. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud, but he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.  Sun Shao sent more than 10,000 sailors to the Mediterranean to become pirates, which was equivalent to stabbing the heart of the Romans. Unknowingly, he had captured the vital points of the Romans. Cui Qian would have been the leader if the situation had not called for it.  There is a secret move lurking around the Romans. With the strength of the Yue navy and Cui Qian's talent as a pirate, the Mediterranean will no longer be the Mediterranean of the Romans. By that time, the anxious Romans will still not be able to figure out these pirates.  Who is it? Maybe it will ask Yue for help.

    No wonder Sun Shao was able to save the day. He had been making these arrangements for a long time, but he didn't expect to use them so soon.  Lu Xun understood everything, and he immediately figured out the reason why Cao Zhang and others could rush to the battlefield so quickly. Even if the Sasanians did not provoke the war, Sun Shao would have brought Cao Zhang and others here. Although the Arabian Peninsula  It is still peaceful in name, but Sun Shao has sent Xia Hourong to actually control several coastal countries. The Bedouins of Sheba and other countries have begun to harass the Sasanians with the help of the Vietnamese. If Cao Zhang's  With more than 20,000 cavalry participating, it was no longer a sporadic robbery, but a hostile force that should not be underestimated.

    Although Sun Shao said it was an accident, it was actually not that surprising. It was just that the development speed exceeded Sun Shao's estimate. If he was given a few more years to calmly arrange the situation, the battle would definitely go smoother and not be as thrilling as it is now.  Of course, if that were the case, he, Lu Xun, wouldn't be able to make such a big contribution.  Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Sun Shao thought long-term and made precise arrangements. The battle will definitely go smoothly, but for a general like him, there may not be a chance to perform.

    Lu Xun couldn't help but feel happy secretly.

    "So that's it." Sun Feng also smiled: "So, I did think too superficially."

    Sun Shao snorted lightly: "Then you understand now? Tell me, did we make a profit or a loss in this battle?"

    Sun Feng hesitated to speak and scratched his head in embarrassment. In an instant, he showed the youthfulness that he should have at his age.  When Sun Shao saw it, he was angry and funny. He didn't ask him any questions. Instead, he looked at Lu Xun and said, "Bo Yan, you are a smart man, don't you need me to say more?"

    Lu Xun actually understood everything, but he still said respectfully: "Dare you ask your Majesty for advice."

    Sun Shao chuckled: "Bo Yan, I know you are cautious, but there is no need to be too clumsy. What I want is a general who can control the overall situation, not an obedient minister who knows how to protect himself. Don't you think that if anything happens in the future?  Are you going to send a letter thousands of miles back for me to make a decision? Boyan, you have to be responsible."

    Lu Xun was very embarrassed by what he said, but he was very grateful in his heart.  When he was under Sun Quan, he was used to hiding his clumsiness, for fear of irritating Sun Quan's sensitive heart with a careless word, but Sun Shao was much more open-minded. Not only did he admit his mistake in person, but he also asked him to express his opinions directly without saying anything.  Scruples.  Sun Quan and Sun Shao both have the surname Sun, but their ambitions are very different. After all, Sun Shao is Sun Ce's son. He has Sun Ce's magnanimity and confidence, unlike Sun Quan, who is always worried about people comparing him to Sun Ce.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Any luck?  Lu Xun bowed his head to the end and said: "Your Majesty has an order, but if I dare not obey it, I will vent my feelings."

    That night, the beeswax in the room was changed three times. It was not until dawn that Sun Shao and the three of them, who were still unfinished, yawned and dispersed. So when Momia came to the manor quietly, Sun Shao was still lying down.  Momia, who was wearing a cloak, was sitting on pins and needles in the front hall where guests were waiting, fearing that a visitor would come and find out her identity at this time.  By that time, she was at a loss to explain, and she couldn't explain her motives anyway. Once word reached Quintus's ears, she would be in big trouble.

    She looked at the sun that was almost over her head, feeling anxious, but she did not dare to urge the servant to call Sun Shao. She was just an ordinary noble now, how could she act so recklessly in Sun Shao's manor.  She looked at the maid holding Philip and felt confused for the first time.  Philip was probably a little bored. He struggled in the maid's arms to be held by Momia. Momia was looking anxiously at the sun and didn't notice Philip's movements. Philip stretched out his arms.I held my hand for a long time but got no response. I grinned and cried "Wow".  His voice was so loud that it suddenly broke the silence in the garden.

    Sun Feng, who was passing by, heard the cry of the child and was very curious. In a blink of an eye, he saw Momia in a cloak, frowned, and turned around and walked over.  When the female officer who was accompanying him saw the prince, she quickly came over to salute and explained: "Your Royal Highness, this is the head of the Emisa family in this city, who has come to see the king. Because the king has not gotten up yet, he asked her to  Wait here."

    "The Emisa family?" Sun Shao rolled his eyes: "But the family of Emperor Severus' famous virtuous Queen Julia?"

    Momia felt guilty when she saw Sun Feng, and was stunned after hearing his words. She didn't expect that Sun Feng knew so much about the Roman royal family, so she couldn't help but feel a little panicked. She quickly lowered her head and avoided Sun Feng's inquiring eyes.  He gave a salute: "Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."

    Seeing her panic, Sun Feng couldn't help but become more suspicious and stepped up his guard. He looked at Momia's body hidden in the gauze robe. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she looked like an assassin. However, he could not directly order someone to check to avoid causing trouble.  There was a misunderstanding, so he turned around and pretended to look at Philip in the maid's arms, but in fact he was observing Momia's expression with his peripheral vision.

    Unexpectedly, when he saw Phillip's little face, he was stunned for a moment, looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly laughed, and he couldn't help but let go of his original guard.  The Yue Kingdom has long had silver-plated mirrors that can reflect people's details. In addition, his childhood portrait has always been hanging in Daqiao's room. He is no stranger to his childhood face, and the one in front of him  The infant child looked very similar to him at that time, especially his eyes, which were exactly the same as those of his brothers.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that my father actually had a woman in Syria.  Sun Feng turned around and glanced at Momia thoughtfully, with a smile on his lips.  Although Momia lowered her head, she was nervously paying attention to Sun Feng's expression. She was thoughtful and sensitive. When she saw Sun Feng's smile, she couldn't help but feel ashamed, and her face suddenly turned red to the roots of her ears. Fortunately,  Sun Feng couldn't see it because of the veil.

    "Father is still resting, but he should be getting up soon." Sun Feng didn't look at Momia much, turned around and pointed at Philip: "This child is very cute, can I hug him?"

    Momia hesitated for a moment. She raised her head and glanced at Sun Feng. She saw the smile in Sun Feng's eyes more clearly. She also discovered the similarity between Sun Feng's eyes and Philip's, and was even more convinced that Sun Feng had recognized him.  Now that Philip's true identity is revealed, I can't help but feel a little worried. What if Sun Feng takes the opportunity to kill him?  Although intellectually speaking, she felt that this possibility was very small, but she couldn't control herself from thinking that way.

    "This child with a humble status, how can he deserve the love and care of the prince?" Although she said it modestly, she did not think that Philip's status was lower than that of Sun Feng, so she spoke a little reluctantly.  Sun Feng didn't know whether he heard it or not. He stretched out a finger to touch Philip's face and said to himself: "I feel a sense of intimacy when I see him, as if we have met somewhere before."  Yes, I like him very much, and I hope the lady will agree to let me hug him."

    When he said this, Momia became even more flustered, and she couldn't find any excuse in her eagerness. At this moment, Ao Lei walked out from the door of the inner courtyard. When he saw Sun Feng, he greeted him: "Prince, too."  Here, Your Majesty is awake, and I heard a child crying just now, could it be this child?"

    Sun Feng nodded, pointed at Momia and said: "It is this lady's child. General Ao, is the father up? This lady wants to see the father. She has been waiting here for a long time."

    "Well, get up." Ao Lei frowned when he saw Momia wearing a gauze robe that covered her whole body. He took the famous thorn from the maid's hand and looked at it. He pointed at the gauze robe and was about to speak. Sun Feng  But he stopped him calmly: "Take him to see his father."

    Ao Lei was very surprised, but since Sun Feng said that, he must have a reason. Although he was worried that this woman might have hidden weapons, he couldn't refuse to listen to Sun Feng's words in person, so he had to reluctantly agree: "Since I'm here to see you,  Your Majesty, then come with me.¡±

    Momia felt relieved and quickly bowed to Sun, then followed Ao Lei into the inner courtyard with her maid as if fleeing.  Seeing her panic, Ao Lei was filled with doubts. He didn't dare to be careless and led them into the inner room. He did not leave even after being introduced to Sun Shao. Instead, he used his eyes to warn the two tiger soldiers to be careful, and he held his hands  He moved closer to the Uzi stick at his waist, ready for any contingency.

    Sun Shao looked at Momia, who was wrapped in a gauze robe like an Arab woman. He glanced at Ao Lei inexplicably and wondered what happened to this Leizi today. He suddenly brought two women and a child, and he  He refused to leave, but stared with a wary expression.

    "Who are you?"As soon as Sun Shao finished speaking, Momia opened her veil and blocked all the words that Sun Shao said. He pointed at Momia and was speechless: "Why is it you?"

    "It's me." Momia breathed a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and the whole room was filled with joy.

    Sun Shao slapped his forehead, glared at Ao Lei, who still looked wary, and waved his hand: "You all get out."

    This time it was Ao Lei's turn to be stunned. He was stunned for a long time and had to retreat with the tiger soldiers.  As soon as he went out, he saw Sun Feng folding his arms and leaning against a pillar, looking at him with a half-smile. When he saw the wretched look on his face, he laughed and walked away quickly without waiting for Ao Lei to ask.  Ao Lei was left confused.

    "Youwhy are you here?" Sun Shao was a little at a loss. His usual calmness disappeared without a trace. He turned around and quickly ordered people to come in and clean up the tables and chairs. Then he brought some refreshments and ordered the attendants.  They were waiting outside and were not allowed in without orders.  Then he asked Momia to sit down and talk.  Momia had already regained her composure. She took Philip from the maid's arms and signaled the maid to go out and wait. She lowered her head and touched Philip's delicate face without looking at Sun Shao: "You don't want to see it.  This child?"

    "Yes, of course I do." Sun Shao rubbed his hands and took a look in front of Philip. When he saw the little face that was no different from Sun Feng's when he was a child, he smiled proudly: "Well, that's wrong.  No, he is indeed my son."

    "What?" Momia was furious when she heard this, raised her head and glared at Sun Shao: "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

    "Hahaha" Sun Shao laughed, pulled up a chair and sat next to Momia, stretched out his finger and tapped Philip's slightly high nose, without answering Momia's words.  Momia saw that he had no dignity of a king at all, but looked like a young man who was very excited to be a father for the first time. She felt a lot less angry in her heart, and said with some resentment: "Now that you believe it, shouldn't you do it for him?"  Do something?"

    Sun Shao didn't say a word, but the smile on his face slowly faded. He teased Philip, who was not afraid of anything, for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Have I not done enough for him?"

    "What did you say?" Momia's mood that had just calmed down suddenly turned very bad. She lost her usual calmness and wisdom, like an easily excited housewife. She suddenly stood up and said condescendingly.  Looking down at Sun Shao: "What have you done for him? Tell me, what have you done for him?"

    Sun Shao raised his head and looked at Momia, whose face was flushed with excitement, and suddenly felt something strange in his heart. Why did this woman, who was several years older than him, look so much like Xiaoqiao who was questioning him for Zhou Yu?  They are all the same protectors, recklessly acting out for their own children, no matter how noble and graceful they usually are.

    The two of them just looked at each other, Sun Shao was expressionless, Momia had an angry look on her face, and neither of them spoke.  After a while, Sun Shao stood up, gently pressed his hands on Momia's shoulders, pushed her down on the chair, and stretched out his hands to Philip. Momia stubbornly remained unmoved.  Sun Shao gave her a pleading look, and Momia softened her heart and slowly let go of her hand.  Sun Shao reached out and hugged Philip, and the back of his hand slid across Momia's chest. A burst of numbness made Momia blush and look a little embarrassed.

    Sun Shao hugged Philip and slowly walked around the room, making faces from time to time. Philip was not afraid of strangers, so when he saw his appearance, he giggled out loud. Sun Shao saw him laughing.  , also laughed happily, the two of them laughed constantly.  Momia was dumbfounded for a moment as she watched the father and son enjoying themselves happily, and the resentment in her heart dissipated unknowingly.

    After a while, Momia stood up gracefully, walked behind Sun Shao, lay on Sun Shao's shoulders, looked lovingly at Philip's big black and bright eyes, and begged softly.  : "Quintus swore before the gods that when Philip grew up, he would make him Augustus, and in the future he would pass the throne of Roman emperor to him. You leave Rome to Philip.  Pu bar."

    Her head rested on Sun Shao's shoulder, her mouth was right next to Sun Shao's ear, and her warm breath made Sun Shao's ear itch.  Sun Shao turned his face sideways, Momia's delicate face was right in front of him, almost touching his face, and he could even smell the fragrance in her mouth clearly.  He frowned slightly, looking a little displeased: "Do you think I'm here to carve up Rome?"

    "Isn't it?" Momia asked without giving in: "You asked the prince to take charge of important affairs so quickly, and also asked the army general to assist him. Do you want him to stay in Axum? Dare you say that you are not  Do you want him to stay in Ctesiphon or Armenia?¡±

    Sun Shao curled his lips and said: "Yes, if possible, I want him to stay in Ctesiphon. If Sassanid cannot be destroyed, I just intend to let him stay in Armenia. However, it is not right for me to let him stay here.  To fight for Rome. On the contrary," he paused and said word by word:"I want him to help Philip fight for Rome."

    "Help Philip fight for Rome?" Momia was a little confused for a while. Although her Chinese was good, she still couldn't understand Sun Shao's somewhat convoluted words.  She stood up straight and left Sun Shao: "Does it mean that if you don't keep the prince, Philip will not be able to keep Rome?"

    "Do you think you can?" Sun Shao sneered, "If I don't take any action, I'm worried that Philip will not ascend the throne one day. Instead of doing this, I might as well bring you mother and son back to Funan as soon as possible, at least  The whole family can be reunited and enjoy family happiness."
