"A girl named Ouyang Yinying......"

Zhou Yu didn't wait for the janitor to finish speaking, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is Miss Ouyang?" ”

"Still ...... outside the door"

"Why are you so unruly about doing things, why don't you invite people in? Go, go, go and invite Miss Ouyang into the living room. ”

"No!"

Zhou Yu turned around and entered the room, pulled up his clothes and smelled them, feeling that his body was full of sweat, so he hurriedly took them off, and then changed into clean clothes, and then went out.

In the reception hall, the lights had been lit by several servants, and the whole hall was suddenly brightly lit, and it was illuminated as if it were day. Zhou Yu rushed past Ali from the room, and saw Ouyang Yinying wearing a military uniform, sitting in the living room, so he hurriedly tidied up his clothes, strode into the living room, and took the lead in retreating, and then said respectfully: "Zhou Gongjin is polite." ”

Ouyang Yinying had already noticed that Zhou Yu was coming, but she sat there quietly, but she was secretly thinking in her heart: "I didn't expect that after six years, Zhou Yu has actually grown into a little adult, and he is so handsome......"

Zhou Yu saw Ouyang Yinying looking at him, so he looked at himself and asked, "Sister is looking at me like this, isn't there some mud on my body?" ”

Ouyang Yinying is three years older than Zhou Yu, the two of them are both from Shu County, Lujiang, Ouyang Yinying's family is a scholarly family, a family in Yangzhou, and the ancestors have been officials in the court for a long time, and Zhou Yu's father Zhou Shang is a county official, and often comes to Ouyang Yinying's father for advice because of official business.

Later, Zhou Shang let his son Zhou Yu follow Ouyang Yinying's father to learn calligraphy, four books and five classics, and Zhou Yu lived in Ouyang's home. Ouyang Yinying and Zhou Yu met at that time, and Zhou Yu called Ouyang Yinying sister. The two have lived together as childhood sweethearts for several years.

But the good times didn't last long, when Ouyang Yinying was twelve years old, his father had to be forced to move his family because he offended Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, first to Xuzhou, and then to Qingzhou. has never escaped the persecution of Yangzhou assassin Liu Xuan, so he went to Liaodong by the sea, and only then escaped for a while. It was also that year that Ouyang Yinying and Zhou Yu separated.

Now, when the two childhood playmates meet again after six years, they naturally have a different feeling.

In fact, Zhou Yu saw Ouyang Yinying in Qu'a, and when he saw Ouyang Yinying following Lin Nan's side, he reported that he was the county lord of Yan Kingdom. He felt that he might have recognized the wrong person, after all, he hadn't seen him for six years, and his appearance had changed a lot, and there were many similar people in the world, so he only glanced at it hurriedly, although he felt a little similar, but he didn't move.

When he saw Ouyang Yinying again today, he was sure. Sitting here, Ou Yin Ying, is the one who claimed to be the lord of Yan Country that day.

"Are you alright?" Ouyang Yinying has an indelible affection for Zhou Yu. I can't tell what kind of feeling it was, but I felt that when I saw Zhou Yu, my breathing was a little abnormal, as if I was about to suffocate.

"I'm fine. It's just that I didn't expect that I wouldn't see my sister for six years. My sister turned out to be the county lord of Yan Kingdom. My sister came to me this time, there must be something important, right? Zhou Yu sat down slowly, and the joy in his heart gradually faded when he saw Ouyang Yinying, just because he hated Yan Guo.

"It's fine. Can't I come to you? Ouyang Yinying asked rhetorically.

"Of course you can, it's just that I think my sister's purpose for coming here should be related to King Yan."

"Gongjin, you're still as smart as you were when you were a child, it's really good."

"If there is anything wrong with my sister, please tell me directly, there is no need to babble. I'm no longer the same Zhou Gongjin I used to be......"

The atmosphere in the living room was not very good, because Zhou Yu rejected Yan Guo's qiē, so much so that it caused tension between him and Ouyang Yinying.

Ouyang Yinying sat there quietly, and after listening to what Zhou Yu said, she secretly thought in her heart: "Today's Zhou Gongjin is indeed no longer the Zhou Gongjin of the past, he has gradually grown up, although he is still very young, but he already has his own unique views on things......

"Why doesn't my sister speak? If you have nothing to say, then ask your sister to go back, it's already late at night, and my sister should rest. Zhou Yu saw that Ouyang Yinying was silent and did not speak, so he slowly stood up, intentionally or unintentionally hinting at the eviction.

Ouyang Yinying didn't move, squirmed her cherry mouth, and asked slowly, "In Gong Jin's eyes, who is King Yan?" ”

As soon as Zhou Yu heard the word King Yan, he was very angry, as if King Yan owed him a lot of foreign debts in his previous life, and more like King Yan killed his whole family, and he was furious with the word King Yan. He snorted coldly and said, "King Yan has ill intentions, a hypocrite, and a complete treacherous villain......

Ouyang Yinying remained silent and continued: "It turns out that in your eyes, King Yan is such a person. However, do you know why King Yan came to Wu Guosu this time? ”

"What else can you do besides spying on Wu Guoji? Blame my king for being too affectionate and righteous, if it were me, King Yan would have been killed by me in one fell swoop before he stepped into the Wu Kingdom. Zhou Yu said with jealousy.

"Hehe, if King Wu is really you, King Yan won't come at all. I tell you the truth, the purpose of King Yan's trip is not to spy on any secrets, and the king of Yan can know everything about it without any scouts and meticulous work. King Yan never thinks of himself as a gentleman, but he is not a villain, everything he does is for the sake of the people of the world, for the sake of the people, he can abandon a qiē, such a person can take on the heavy responsibility of the world. Otherwise, why did those civil and military generals die desperately for King Yan? ”

"Needless to say, it must have been bought by King Yan with a lot of money, and he was promised to be a high-ranking official. He dared to be the first in the world, holding the jade seal of the country, and taking the lead in claiming the king with a different surname, which was too far away from the Han Dynasty. The emperor of the Han Dynasty is still in Chang'an, he got the jade seal of the country and did not send the jade seal to Chang'an, but he took it as his own, and dared to openly claim the king. is also worthy of being called a person who takes on the responsibility of the world? Also, in the name of inheriting the jade seal of the country, he twice provoked a melee in the Luoyang area, which caused the people of Luoyang to be displaced and leave their hometowns. ”

Ouyang Yinying retorted: "Then." Let me ask Gong Jin, in your heart, can you be the Son of Heaven who has always pretended to be a big man? In your actions, have you always pretended to be the legal calendar of the great man? After the Han Dynasty experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court had existed in name only, and the King of Yan started at the end of Wei, pacified the Yellow Turban in Jizhou, swept away the Qiang people in Liangzhou, eradicated the Ten Standing Servants, and persuaded the Wuhuan people to re-attach themselves to the Han Dynasty. West and Xiongnu, which one is not a great feat? In addition, he diligently cultivated water conservancy, cultivated fertile land, dispersed displaced people, encouraged herdsmen and merchants, opened salt and iron, and lightly forced labor. The thin tax not only defended the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty. It also enables thousands of people to live and work in peace and contentment, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food, and everyone has land to cultivate. ”

"The Tao is different. Do not conspire with each other. My sister is the county lord of Yan Kingdom, so she will naturally help King Yan speak, since this is the case, then there is nothing to talk about, please go back. I'm going to rest. Zhou Yu said indifferently.

Ouyang Yinying stood up, walked in front of Zhou Yu, looked at Zhou Yu, and asked, "Do you want to know the purpose of King Yan's trip?" ”

Zhou Yu's face was a little moved, but he was arrogant and never asked for help, he only snorted coldly: "If my sister wants to say it, I will say it if I don't want to say it, and I won't force it, whether my sister is willing or not, I will know the answer sooner or later." ”

Ouyang Yinying said: "Gong Jin, you have changed. When you were a child, you listened to me the most, and you ...... when you were a child."

"It's all over, what are you talking about him? Besides, hasn't my sister changed? The eldest lady of the Ouyang family back then has become the county lord of Yan Country today......"

"Then you sue me, has your heart changed? Sister has really become an unforgivable person in your mind? ”

Zhou Yu frowned, looking at Ouyang Yinying with a heroic face, more beautiful and moving than the Ouyang Yinying he saw when he was a child, and he was also mature. Ouyang Yinying, who is dressed in military uniform, looks very decent, and has a delicate face on her delicate body, no matter where she puts it, she can only be described in two words - beauty.

At this moment, Zhou Yu remembered that when he was a child, he often held his hand and took him to the mountains and rivers, reading and writing. At that time, how much he wished he could be held by her for the rest of his life, so he kept holding his hand and went all the way until the day he grew old.

When he knew that her family was persecuted by Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, and had to go away, his heart also ached, often standing alone by the river facing the north, his eyes were full of hope, how much he hoped that the familiar figure would appear again, and hold his hand again, so that he could live a carefree and happy life.

However, he waited for a year, and there was no news, there were rumors that Ouyang Yinying's family died in the hands of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, when he heard the news, he didn't want to believe it, but there was no news, so he had to believe it. So, from that moment on, he changed himself, he wanted to make himself strong, make himself strong, in such a troubled world, only when he was strong, he could protect the people he wanted to protect.

He attributed all his hatred to Liu Xuan's body, when Sun Jian's troops hit Lujiang, he and Sun Jian's son Sun Ce happened to meet on the streets of Shucheng, two young men of the same age, who also had a proud body, hit it off at first sight. When he learned that Sun Jian was preparing to attack Jiujiang County in a big way, his heart was moved, and he saw a kind of hope and an unprecedented hope in Sun Ce's body, so he persuaded his father to defect to Sun Jian, and recruited teenagers in Shucheng to formally establish the Ceyu Army.

Although he was young at this time, he was already a little adult, and Ce Yujun was not dispatched by Sun Jian and took the lead in entering Jiujiang County, because he had no formal equipment, and he was about eleven or twelve years old, in the eyes of others, this was a group of children. However, it was this group of children, when they entered Jiujiang County, that they took in displaced teenagers along the way, and successfully persuaded the thieves, Jiang bandits and other juvenile gangsters they encountered, and got Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, Song Qian and others, all the way to Yangzhou, the location of the Thorn History Mansion, Shouchun.

When this group of children suddenly attacked in Shouchun City with sharp knives in their hands, none of Liu Cao's subordinates were not shocked, except for Ling Cao, who was already in his twenties, the oldest of the rest was only fifteen or sixteen. The youngest was only nine years old, and most of them were orphans who were wandering in the rivers and lakes, and after being organized by Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, they immediately became a force to be reckoned with.

Sun Jian also took Shouchun lightly because of the turmoil in Shouchun City, and forced Liu Jian to Danyang County. It was also at this time. The Ce Yu army began to attract Sun Jian's attention, allocated food, grass, and equipment, and officially incorporated it into his subordinates, and ordered them to be stationed in Shouchun to receive formal training. Two years later, Sun Jian had enough troops to officially fight against Liu Xuan, who occupied Jiangdong. Throughout the campaign to occupy Yangzhou, Zhou Yu had an excellent performance and was known for his resourcefulness. and joined forces with Sun Ce, gradually establishing the importance of the Ce Yu army within the Wu State.

Memories came to his heart, Zhou Yu only felt a kind of loneliness, he looked at Ouyang Yinying standing in front of him, a wry smile, but he was thinking in his heart: "Sister, do you know, the reason why I was integrated into the career of Rongma so early." It's all for you, and Liu Xiang is dead. I killed you with my own hands, and I can be regarded as avenging you......"

Ouyang Yinying saw that Zhou Yu was silent for a long time, although she could see Zhou Yu's thoughtful appearance, but she didn't know what Zhou Yu was thinking. The budding of youth has gradually faded at this moment. Some are just the inseparable bond between two people.

"Why don't you answer me?" Ouyang Yinying finally couldn't help it and asked with a frown.

Zhou Yu asked rhetorically, "What about you, sister?" Has the heart changed? ”

"No, I'm still the same person I used to be, and I still hope to be able to hold your hand every day like when I was a child. Inseparable from you. Ouyang Yinying knew the purpose of this trip, so when she made this decision, she had already abandoned the reserve and shyness that all girls should have, and told Zhou Yu how she felt in her heart.

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, feeling that Ouyang Yinying had changed, if it was before, she would not have said such shy words so directly. It's just that he likes Ouyang Yinying's cheerfulness very much. The corners of his mouth then showed a smile that seemed to be nothing, and said: "Sister, King Yan and King Wu want to assign me a family business, although I refused at the time, I believe that the two of them will not give up." My sister is already a person from King Yan, but now she visits late at night and spreads it, so I'm afraid that something will be wrong, so I ask my sister to go back. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am the county lord of Yan Kingdom, and I am the righteous sister of King Yan! After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Ouyang Yinying couldn't wait to give Zhou Yu a few big slaps.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu was also surprised, his face showed a sense of joy, and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

"Naturally, it's true, county lord, it's the princess of the county, not the kind of relationship you imagined!"

Zhou Yu was overjoyed, he misunderstood the word county lord, laughed twice, couldn't help the joy in his heart, grabbed Ouyang Yinying's hand directly with both hands, and said slowly: "Sister, I was wrong, I thought you had ...... Sister, don't you leave me again, okay? ”

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the palace of King Wu in Jianye City, Lin Nan got up from the bed, stretched his waist, shook his spirits, opened the window and looked up at the bright sky, and there was a burst of fresh air in his face, with a little floral fragrance in the air, which rushed into people's hearts and spleens.

After a simple breakfast, Lin Nan went straight to Ouyang Yinying's room, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

However, Lin Nan waited for a while, but there was no response in the room, and when he went to knock on the door again, because of too much force, he directly pushed open the door without a latch. To his surprise, the room was empty.

"Sakura doesn't return at night, does it mean that he has already leveled Zhou Yu?"

With a hint of doubt, Lin Nan turned around and left the room, and walked to the front hall where he lived with a smile, but when he saw that Gan Ning and Wen Ping were in the front hall, he shouted, "You two got up very early." ”

When Gan Ning and Wen Ping saw Lin Nan, they immediately stood up and bowed very respectfully: "See the king." ”

Lin Nan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so polite in private, everyone is a brother in trouble, don't be too restrained." By the way, did Sakura not return overnight last night, or did she go out early in the morning? ”

Gan Ning and Wen Ping glanced at each other, and after looking at each other, they asked in unison: "The ministers don't know, the ministers will go to find the county lord." ”

"It's okay, Sakura is already an adult, and she has her own way of doing things. However, I do like that she didn't come home all night. Instead of going out early in the morning. ”

"Why does the king think so?" Gan Ning asked puzzled.

Wen Ping hurriedly interjected: "You are stupid, if the county lord does not return overnight, it means that she has already settled Zhou Yu." ”

Gan Ning suddenly realized, but there was a trace of worry on his face, and he said: "King, the county lord is always the county lord. If the news of not returning overnight spreads, I am afraid that the impact will not be good. ”

"Well, that's right, it's a secret. Wen Ping, you go to Zhou Yu's mansion to pick up the county lord now, don't arouse the suspicion of others...... "Lin Nandao.

"No need." Ouyang Yinying walked in from outside the front hall and directly interrupted Lin Nan's words.

"See the county lord!" Gan Ning and Wen Ping said in unison.

"The two generals don't need to be so polite."

Lin Nan saw that Ouyang Yinying's eyes were bloodshot, so he asked, "Sakura, shouldn't you have stayed awake all night?" ”

Ouyang Yinying nodded. said: "Wang, you don't have to worry about my marriage with Zhou Yu, I have already explained it to him." However, I have one more thing to say to the king......"

Lin Nan saw Ouyang Yinying's spitting, so he said, "But it's okay to say it." ”

"I chatted with Zhou Yu all night, and I also revealed in my words that he asked him to go to Yanguo, but he didn't appreciate it, with my understanding of Zhou Yu. He shouldn't go back to Yan Kingdom with the king. ”

"Something to be expected." Lin Nan didn't feel a little surprised, and said very calmly. "That's exactly what I wanted. Sakura, then you can stay, be an undercover agent for me in Wu Kingdom, according to my prediction, Zhou Yu will definitely become a mainstay of Wu Kingdom. You are by his side, and I can also learn about the development of the state of Wu. A few years after that. Shi Jie will be in charge of trade with Wu State, and you can send the news to Shi Jie to Yan Kingdom to officially start the work of Infernal Affairs. ”

"Brother, aren't you afraid that I will face Zhou Yu?"

"I'm afraid...... How can you not be afraid...... However, if that is the case, I have nothing to say. I can only blame myself for choosing the wrong person. However, I can tell you something that will happen in the future. ”

"What's the matter?"

"In the next few years, there will be two people in Jiangnan who will become famous, both of them are known for their beauty, they are a pair of sister flowers, men are lustful, Zhou Yu is no exception, in the future, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce will marry one of the two sister flowers, and they will also become a couple. As long as you stay by Zhou Yu's side with peace of mind and help me spy on the military situation, when I leave the Wu Kingdom, I will take these two sisters with me to prevent future troubles. ”

Ouyang Yinying frowned, she was skeptical of Lin Nan's words, but he had been by Lin Nan's side for several years, and every time Lin Nan's prediction was surprisingly accurate, this time she was a little scared in her heart. Everyone in a relationship is selfish and doesn't want to share their other half with others.

She asked suspiciously, "How does the king know about the future?" ”

"Hehe, I'm the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor Star, I know the past life and the next life." Lin Nan teased.

Ouyang Yinying did not hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "Please rest assured, the king, I will not live up to the king's expectations." However, don't forget what the king promised me. ”

"Don't worry, I won't forget it, Zhou Yu is disgusted with me now, completely because he is not in the same camp, and when the world is mine in the future, he will naturally understand me. However, according to your age, you are three years older than Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu has no feelings about this sister and brother relationship, right? ”

"Why did the king go into such detail? The matter between me and Zhou Yu is our own business, as long as the two of us are sincere, why should we care about age? ”

"Okay, as long as it can be done, I don't care so much. I'll go see King Wu now, finish the marriage as much as possible, and then I'll wait to hold a little nephew in the future. ”

After Ouyang Yinying heard this, her face turned red, she turned around and left, and said, "I won't tell you." ”

Lin Nan smiled there, looked at Ouyang Yinying's back, and said, "You have a good rest in the past two days, and everything is up to me and King Wu." ”

"No."

……

In the main hall of King Wu's palace, Sun Jian sat beside Lin Nan with a happy face and asked, "Brother Xian, that kid from Zhou Yu really agreed?" ”

Lin Nan nodded heavily and said, "Well, agreed." ”

Sun Jian laughed and asked, "Brother Xian, this kid Zhou Yu is a person who admits death, and he is usually arrogant, what method did you use to get him to agree to this family business?" ”

Lin Nan smiled, and then told Ouyang Yinying and Zhou Yu what happened when they were children.

After hearing this, Sun Jian nodded slightly. said: "I didn't expect Zhou Gongjin and the county lord to have such a past, but this county lord is three years older than Zhou Gongjin, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" ”

"Female junior, hugging gold bricks. Zhou Yu didn't dislike it, why did King Wu start to dislike it? Lin Nandao.

"Huh. As long as this family affair is completed, then our Wu Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom of the virtuous brother will be considered a successful marriage. In the future, if there are any beauties in our Wu Kingdom, I will also send them all to Yan Kingdom, and form a good relationship with each other in Qin and Jin, why not. Sun Jian said.

"Well, Brother Wentai, this marriage is done. So let's talk about the next move. ”

After Sun Jian heard this, he naturally understood what Lin Nan meant, and his face gradually became gloomy. asked: "Brother Xian, the Jingzhou Navy is powerful, I have already asked Bo Fu to go to Chaisang to train the Navy Army, if you want to wait until the Navy is trained, I am afraid it will take some time, and the Wu Kingdom is not very rich now, on the surface it is stable, but in fact, it has always been a headache in Shanyue in the south." There are a lot of people in Yamagoe. The tribes are mixed, although I have already controlled some of the Shanyue people. But there are only a few tribes, and compared with the entire Shanyue, it is really a drop in the middle. Not only that, Shixie, who is entrenched in Jiaozhou, is also secretly recruiting troops, and the situation in Wu is not very stable. ”

Shanyue is one of the hundred Yue. According to its literal meaning, it originally referred to the ancient Yue people who lived in the mountains.

Shanyue's production method is mainly agriculture, growing grains, and because "the mountains produce copper and iron", they often "cast their own armor". They are scattered and live in small clusters. Good at practicing martial arts, relying on mountain dangers, forming an armed group, its leader has many titles such as "handsome", "big handsome", "zongshuai", etc., and is in a semi-independent state for the central feudal power.

The Shanyue were very brave and adept at mountain warfare, and they also used copper and iron from the mountains they lived to forge for their own self-sufficiency, and repeatedly raided Han Chinese settlements.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Sun family initially settled in Jiangdong, and there were many mountains in the territory and it was widely distributed. They often united with the "clans" in various places, confronted them, and became the henchmen of the Sun and Wu regimes.

Therefore, Lu Xun said to Sun Quan that if Shanyue was not pacified, it would be difficult for Eastern Wu to manage the north, so he personally led the army to pacify Shanyue, and he took the strong as soldiers and the old and weak as farmers, so that a total of tens of thousands of elite soldiers. After that, Wu still conquered Shanyue from time to time in order to continuously develop Jiangnan.

After decades of brutal conquest by Sun and Wu, most of the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River were forced to leave the mountains and migrate to the flat land, and some of them were used to supplement the source of troops; Some of them became households, transferred their rents, or became private tenants. A large number of Shanyue went out of the mountain, which played an important role in the development of the economy of Jiangnan, and also greatly accelerated the process of Sinicization of Shanyue itself. Although there were still sporadic records of Shanyue until the end of the Southern Dynasty and even in the early Sui Dynasty, most of Shanyue had already completely integrated with the Han people at this time.

When Sun Jian participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, many of his subordinates were Shanyue people who belonged to him, and their combat ability Lin Nan had also seen, and they were very brave.

"What Brother Wentai is worried about is exactly what I am worried about. However, with the eloquence and talent of the Wentai brothers, the stabilization of Wu is just around the corner. It's better for Brother Wentai to follow my method of appeasing the Wuhuan people, using both soft and hard, and first pacifying Shanyue in Danyang, Wujun, Huiji and other places. Lin Nanjian said.

Sun Jian shook his head and said: "Jiangdong is sparsely populated, and the total strength of my Wu State is only 80,000, and there are hundreds of thousands, or even millions, in Shanyue in Danyang, Wu County, Huiji and other places. ”

Lin Nan saw that Sun Jian was not confident, so he said with a smile: "Sun Wentai, who is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, why is he so unconfident? Even if there are millions of people in Shanyue, there is nothing to worry about. Unlike the Han people, the people of Sanyue are not united, they live in clans, and this is their weakness. As long as we target their weaknesses and make use of them, they will certainly be able to play a good role. Brother Wentai has Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong under his account, both of whom are masters of politics, and if Brother Wentai takes the opportunity to ask, he will inevitably receive unexpected gains. ”

Sun Jian shook his head and sighed: "Although Erzhang is unsurpassed in governance, the use of troops against Shanyue is a military matter, and I am afraid that Erzhang will not be competent." ”

"Hehe, then I recommend one person, this person will definitely be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of pacifying Shanyue for Brother Wentai."

"Oh, who is that man?" Sun Jian hurriedly asked.

"Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin." Lin Nan was very eager for Zhou Yu to be able to control the military power of Wu to the best of his ability, but at the same time he vaguely felt that Shanyue was a scourge. He can completely borrow a knife to kill people, borrow the hands of Wu soldiers, and take the lead in attacking Shanyue, so that Wu Guo will have something to do and unstabilize the interior. He would never think of going to the Central Plains to compete for power, and he could go all out to deal with Cao Cao.

"He? How could he be a little doll and shoulder such an important matter? I thought that the people recommended by the virtuous brother were Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Zhu Zhi and others. ”

"Ambition is not old, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Zhu Zhi and others are all the old department of the Wentai brothers, in terms of combat ability, it can be said that they have experienced a hundred battles, and they are indeed much stronger than Zhou Yu, but if you talk about resourcefulness, I am afraid that the five of them together will not be as good as one Zhou Yu."

Sun Jian listened to Lin Nan talk about Zhou Yu so powerfully. He said in his heart: "Could it be that Zhou Yu is really as powerful as Ziyu said?" But with Ziyu's eyes on people, if Zhou Yu is not a person with outstanding talents, how can he be willing to marry the county lord to Zhou Yu? Could it be that the thousands of talents in my Wu Kingdom are not as good as one Zhou Yu? Zhou Gongjin, can you really do it? ”

Lin Nan saw Sun Jian's hesitation, so he said: "Brother Wentai, this is not like your style, when will you start to be afraid of wolves." Afraid of tigers? ”

Sun Jian said: "If you are not in his position, you will not seek his government, when I step by step to the throne of King Wu." I realized the weight of my responsibility. In the past, I only went to war as a general, and I never thought about it that much, as long as I could win the battle. But now it's different, as the king of Wu, I have to weigh everything left and right to make any decisions. We have to see how to do it, so that it is beneficial to the state of Wu. The virtuous brother is not strange, presumably the virtuous brother feels the same way, right? ”

Lin Nan heard Sun Jian tell the truth in his heart, and he really felt very cordial, as the head of a country. It's really important to think things through. Sun Jian's inner voice is also Lin Nan's inner voice, being a king is not so easy, on the surface it looks beautiful and majestic, but in fact, there are more troubles than anyone else, and he has to ask about anything that happens in the country, for fear that the foundation of the country will collapse.

"It's cold in the high places, Brother Wentai can be regarded as speaking my heart. However, please believe me, Brother Wentai, reusing Zhou Yu will definitely be able to pacify Shanyue. ”

"I have no doubt about Brother Xian, and I absolutely believe in Brother Xian's vision. It's just that if I use troops against Shanyue, what if Liu Bei of Jingzhou takes advantage of the gap to attack me? Liu Bei is no longer what it used to be, he is now the lord of Jingzhou, more than Liu Biao, he has occupied the entire territory of Jingzhou in a short period of time, which Liu Biao wanted to do but could not do, his two righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are ten thousand enemies, the Jingzhou Navy has always been very powerful, and my Wu State's Navy is just a grass creation, and it cannot be compared with the Jingzhou Navy at all. Sun Jian was worried.

"What Brother Wentai is worried about is indeed the truth, but it is not impossible to deal with Jingzhou's naval army. The Jingzhou Navy was established earlier, and most of the warships were large building ships, and they could fly straight down from the upstream. However, this is the advantage of Jingzhou's water army, and it is also a disadvantage. The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, there are countless rivers and lakes, and the small river channel in Qianmo is even more dense, if Brother Wentai can take advantage of this, take the initiative to retreat, and lure the enemy deeper, then the large warships of the Jingzhou Navy will not be able to travel in the small river, and Brother Wentai can use the boat and the ship to attack the building ships of the Jingzhou Navy Army. In addition, Brother Wentai can still adopt guerrilla tactics, the enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy retreats and I fight, completely dragging down the Jingzhou naval army, whether it is on the shore or on land, this kind of guerrilla tactics is absolutely suitable for the Wentai brother's attack on the Jingzhou naval army. ”

After hearing this, Sun Jian was in a surging mood, and immediately laughed and said: "Brother Xian, Brother Xian, you are really amazing, the problem that has plagued me for so long has finally been solved today." Three years, as long as I am given three years, I will definitely be able to make the country and the people of Wu Kingdom safe, and when the time comes, I will definitely go to Yan Kingdom in person to thank my virtuous brother. ”

"What about Zhou Yu?"

"Brother Xian admires Zhou Yu so much, presumably Zhou Yu must have something extraordinary, Zhou Yu left the Ceyu Army, Lu Su replaced Zhou Yu, this is not necessarily a good thing for Zhou Yu, what I really need in Wu Guo is a leader who can stand alone, if Zhou Yu is this material, I will naturally not be stingy, and it will definitely be important. Within three days, his marriage must be completed in Jianye City. ”

Lin Nan showed a smile, but he was secretly smiling in his heart, and thought slowly: "Sun Jian has put his heart into me, so that I don't have to worry about the problems of Wu Guo in the future, at least Sun Jian will not compete with me, so maybe it will be carried out according to the previous agreement in the future." Zhou Yu, don't let me live up to my expectations of you, you are still young, and my account is full of talents, if you go to Yan Kingdom, there will definitely be no place to give full play to your talents, staying in Wu Kingdom for some training, it is the best gift I can give you......"

"Brother Wentai, in addition to marriage, there is one more thing I have to explain to you when I come to Wu this time." Lin Nan thought about it carefully before he said.

Sun Jian said: "Please speak." ”

"I remember telling you about trade a long time ago, but years have passed and we have not been able to carry it out. Now that we have made great efforts to build several large ships that can carry goods, we can travel uninterrupted at sea, and I hope that the goods lacking between the two countries will be transported to the two countries in a commercial way through the way of sea transportation, which will be mutually beneficial. ”

After hearing this, Sun Jian nodded and said, "Well, I agree with your point of view. The south ship and the north horse, the Eastern Wu is short of war horses, if the virtuous brother can transport a large number of war horses to Wu State, I will not be stingy with the products of Wu State. ”

"War horses can be transported to the state of Wu, but by land, not by sea. The sea is too bumpy, and the transportation time is also very long, I am afraid that the war horse can not withstand the bumps on the sea, and a first-class war horse, after getting off the ship, will inevitably become weak. ”

"This is indeed a problem, but there is a Wei state between us, and although Cao Cao made an alliance with his virtuous brother, this alliance is not reliable, and if you want to get through to Wei, it will inevitably be blocked. In this way, Brother Xian has a thousand war horses transported over at a time, and he will take care of them kindly along the way, and as for how much is left after arrival, I will ask for as many as I want. Long-distance bumps can indeed make the war horse suffer a certain amount of danger, and the sea route is not more than the land route, which I can understand. So, what does the virtuous brother want most? ”

"Iron and iron, rice, silk, fruits." Lin Nan replied very precisely.

Sun Jian smiled: "It's just an ordinary thing, I can satisfy my virtuous brother with these." Huiji has been a famous place for smelting since ancient times, and during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, most of the peerless famous swords came from here, and the iron was abundant, which could fully meet the needs of the virtuous brothers. ”

"Hehe, Brother Wentai, I want a lot of Oh, my army has a large number, but there are still some soldiers who don't even have battle armor, and they urgently need to build a batch of battle armor and weapons, but unfortunately Yan Guo Shaotie can only rely on Brother Wentai." Lin Nan said against his will.

"It's okay, I'll give you as much as you want."

Lin Nan nodded and continued: "I hope that Brother Wentai can give me some more shipbuilding craftsmen, so that I can build more merchant ships." In addition, how about we unify the currency? Nowadays, our Yan country is implementing a monetary policy based on five baht coins, silver coins as the standard, and gold coins as a high-level monetary unit, if the two countries conduct trade, they should unify the currency, and only need to refine gold and silver into coins.
