Chapter 171: Far Away
Cheng You's milky silky skin was close to Zhao Hao, making Zhao Hao unable to sleep at night.
The weather in Panyu is too hot, and there is no air conditioning in these years, so this beauty is really unbearable.
But seeing that Cheng You was defenseless, with an innocent smile on his little face that he had never had in the daytime, he breathed very evenly,
Although he was uncomfortable with the heat and was bitten by mosquitoes, he still insisted on not daring to move, listening to the soft whispering between Cheng Youhao's lips.
"Mother... Mother..."
The girl's voice was full of grievances, Zhao Hao's heart trembled, and his arm also moved.
Cheng You immediately woke up, subconsciously hugged Zhao Hao tightly, and begged: "Don't go, please." β
"Don't go, don't go, sleep in peace."
He stroked the girl's long hair, and soon the sound of the girl's even breathing was heard in his ears.
This annoying girl in the day couldn't control her appearance after falling asleep, Zhao Hao slowly took a deep breath and forced herself to sleep.
Wow, let's go over this long night, Lao Tzu's biological clock is about to explode.
At dawn the next day, Zhao Hao barely fell asleep, and slept until three o'clock in the morning, when he got up in pain and ate two mouthfuls of food.
Cheng You sat beside Zhao Hao silently, Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows and glanced at her,
Seeing that Cheng Youru had no waves on his face with a little apology, Zhao Hao actually smiled for no reason.
"How's the investigation?" Zhao Hao said a word, and added a small half sentence, "My senior colonel." β
Cheng You still heard Zhao Hao call her like this for the first time, and he couldn't help but laugh,
"As you expected, the Zhao family... The Panyu Zhao family is unwilling to bow to you easily.
They started planning for a long, long time yesterday overnight, and they drove until the third watch. β
"Do you understand the content of the meeting?"
"You know, our people are..."
"You don't have to say it, I have complete trust in you." Zhao Hao finished eating a bowl of egg custard, reached out and rubbed the top of Cheng You's head.
Just like when he usually spoiled Lu Yusheng.
"Yes, Champion Hou, I will definitely do a good job."
Zhao Hao's deep eyes became cold and profound, he casually held Cheng You in his arms, and sighed:
"I've inquired, Zhao Ju is a very good person,
The little Panyu can be so prosperous, and he can be regarded as having the means.
If only he could be of use to me... When it comes to governing the people, we are really short of talent. β

The border conflicts between Eastern Wu and Cao Wei continued, but Sun Quan's henchman Bu Qi led a main force to start Shi Shiran south, and after conducting a large-scale bandit investigation in Yuzhang, which was almost a no-man's land, he suddenly accelerated his southward speed, and almost rushed straight towards Nanhai County.
Sun Luban's army was expanded to 1,000 people, and he was also incorporated into the army of Buqi, which looked a bit different under the guard of everyone.
"Deng Ai, didn't my uncle say that he would fight Shanyue?
What do I think we're headlong for the South China Sea? β
Deng Ai, a peasant boy from a family, wore a brand-new uniform for the first time in his life, and he caressed his silver glittering iron armor like a lover's face all day long, and he didn't even hear his own lord ask.
Sun Luban knelt down in front of the map in annoyance, looked up and down again, and couldn't see the intention of Bu Qi at all.
She felt a pain in her skull, and picked up a wine glass and threw it angrily at Deng Ai.
"Princess, you... What do you command? β
Sun Luban's green tendons bloomed on his forehead, and he sneered: "Then guess? β
"Uh..."
Deng Ai's thoughts turned quickly, and he smiled flatteringly: "The princess is asking why we suddenly went in the direction of the South China Sea, right?"
Uh, hehe, it's very simple, you see what we're missing, General Buqi is what to look for. β
"What do you say is missing? You dogs don't speak directly!
Bastard, how can the old lady always know you dogs. β
Deng Ai was sprayed with one Buddha and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and quickly knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "Princess Houg, it will be difficult to repay ten thousand deaths in the end, I will explain to you in detail." β
He pulled over the map in front of Sun Luban and said calmly: "You see, our army's main formation is in Poyang, Chaisang, Xiakou and other places,
The topography of these regions is important, but the population is extremely lacking, especially the large and small wars on the front line of Yuzhang, there are almost no people, and it is not easy for our army to recruit soldiers and collect food.
Now that our army is like fire and water with the Wei army, it is definitely not suitable to turn against Shu again, but our army has not been able to take Jingzhou, and it urgently needs a large population and a larger land to raise troops. β
"The strength of the clan in the South China Sea is second only to that of Jiaozhi, and they have been entrenched in the South China Sea for far more time than the Shi family.
They hide a large number of people and land, Zhao Hao wants their lives, the situation is stronger than people,
Zhao Hao was cruel, almost exterminated those clans in Jiaozhi, those clans in the South China Sea couldn't resist, and the only way out was...
Go north, cross the mountains and come to us. β
Sun Luban snorted coldly and moved his somewhat stiff willow waist slightly.
"Those clans should have died a long time ago."
When Sun Luban thinks of these big families, he thinks of Gu Lu Zhu Zhang in Jiangdong, she is Zhao Hao's protΓ©gΓ©, and she also hates those wealthy families who only care about their families and ignore the overall situation of Dongwu like moths.
After coming into contact with military affairs, she felt more and more truly the influence of wealthy families, and many elite troops only listened to their family masters and generals, and it was impossible to command a single soldier if someone else went to it.
Even if Buqi uses the team he brought out from Jiaozhou to form a new army, he also needs to bring it with him when attacking Runan, otherwise how to raise enough military food is a big problem.
When Sun Luban heard that Zhao Hao was going to attack those clans, he couldn't help but sneer, looking very disapproving.
"Having said that, although Pound is a fierce general, he probably can't set off any storms on his own.
Why is my uncle still like a great enemy, we mobilized as many as 10,000 people all the way this time, and it is more than enough for so many people to directly break through Panyu, right? β
Deng Ai was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "A pound is nothing, but I heard that Zhao Hao has left Jiaozhi,
Nine times out of ten, they will run to the South China Sea, General Buqi doesn't say it, he must be very, very jealous of Zhao Hao in his heart. β
When he saw Sun Luban's ghost-like expression, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"Where is Zhao Hao?"
"Should... I guess..."
"Deng Ai, you give me a way, I want to fight Panyu and fight to the death with Zhao Hao, a bastard."
Deng Ai was dumbfounded: "Princess, you... Shouldn't you discuss this with General Buqi? β
"Deng Ai, I learned one thing under Zhao Hao,
You are my subordinate, you must trust me unconditionally, and if I doubt your loyalty, I can cut you to pieces at any time. β
It was the first time Deng Ai saw this bewitching girl in military uniform showing such crazy eyes, and he quickly bowed respectfully to admit his mistake.
"Princess, if you're sure that's the case, the last general is a little sure, but... It's just that the last general can not command these people and horses, and you have to go over the mountains and mountains. β
Sun Luban heard Deng Ai say that this plan was feasible, and his bewitching face was actually dyed red.
"If you can kill Zhao Hao, you will not hesitate to go over the mountains and mountains."
β¦β¦
Two days later, Zhao Ju personally came to the door and invited Zhao Hao to come over, saying that the old people of the Zhao family wanted to do their best to meet the young and powerful champion Hou.
Of course, Zhao Hao is not stupid, even if he takes all the back army, he doesn't dare to rashly go to the enemy's house to eat,
Zhao Ju also expressed his understanding very much, after all, he is now the official of the former general, and he should speak for his lord.
He asked people to send exquisite dishes (mainly all kinds of barbecue) to Zhao Hao's mansion, and gave the crown prince Liu Chan pearls as big as eggs and red coral as bright as gems.
In short, the treasures of Panyu, since a trip can not be short, a group of porters rush to the market to put boxes of things neatly in the courtyard,
Liu Chan, who has been used to suffering since he was a child and has been strictly guarded by his father and others, has really never seen so many treasures, and he can't help but look at it, and his fat little hands are stuck in a box full of pearls,
The extravagance of the pearl made Liu Chan almost drool, Zhao Hao looked at his silly and simple appearance, and suddenly understood why Liu Chan in history was like that.
A person who has been used to suffering since he was a child, and who has been strictly supervised when he grows up, suddenly no one cares about it and no one asks, he will definitely indulge in lust and enjoyment.
Besides, Liu Chan is not a person with very high willpower.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao stepped forward and patted Liu Chan on the shoulder, Liu Chan woke up from the shock, and was relieved to see Zhao Hao smiling and not reproaching.
"It's my gaffe that made the champion Hou Jian smile."
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "It's okay, this treasure is rare, and people who see it for the first time will be dizzy, there's nothing wrong with that." β
"It's always bad to be a plaything." Liu Chan smiled bitterly.
"Definitely." Zhao Hao shook his head, "The plaything is demoralized, it depends on what you are playing, the Shu brocade produced in my Shu land, Wei and Wu regard it as a treasure, I believe that the prince will not value it so much, although this pearl is good, Brother Zhao has also saved a large box, and it seems that it is not a peerless treasure." β
"Because you usually see a lot, you don't feel rare, and when you see less, you will be more curious, just playing, and you will always get tired."
Liu Chan was embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a while.
"The treasures in this world are all rare because they were born on the other side of the country and are rarely known by the Central Plains.
Does the prince know what other treasures are in the world? β
"This ...... This saint's book is not taught, and I naturally do not know. β
"Take the Silk Road, too big Wan to the west, there are jade workers who can carve beautiful jade, named 'Trace Dustan',
With jade carved wine glass, thin as cicada wings, the jade surface is fine and smooth, the flower pages are layered on top of each other, gorgeous and dazzling,
There is a poem 'Grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately', that Husseil Lang rode on a fast horse and drank wine with this wine glass, and he didn't know how to be happy. β
"Further west, there was a country named Babylon, which built tall buildings, hundreds of feet high.
The garden is upstairs, and the trees and seedlings are planted downstairs, and from a distance, it looks like a garden built in the air, which is beautiful. β
"Further west, thousands of miles, you can reach the land of Kunlun, where there is the Queen Mother of the West,
The Queen Mother of the West has the same appearance as a human, but she has a tail like a leopard and teeth like a tiger, and likes to howl, and wears Yusheng on her fluffy hair.
She has been standing on the bank of a great river that flows from north to south, looking down on the earth and the sky. β
"Farther south, there is a great desert, which is blazing hot,
To the south of the desert, there is a prairie, with phoenixes, giant elephants, bulls, unicorns, and lions.
By the way, there are giant fish in the sea, bigger than our big boat......"
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was considered an absurd book in this era, and Liu Bei naturally left this book out of the scope of alternatives when he chose textbooks for his son.
Liu Chan listened to Zhao Hao's endless talk about the appearance of this world, his eyes kept widening, and his eyeballs were about to shoot out of his sockets.
He always thought that the world was the Central Plains and Siyi, and the world was just so big.
Listening to Zhao Hao's story, he knew that beyond the lofty mountains, there was a bigger world outside, and there were countless treasures.
There is white and transparent jade, there is wine made from grapes, there is cloth that does not burn, there are hanging gardens, there are pyramids, and there is a woman named Helen who is beautiful and can cause a great war......
This is something that no one had ever told him before.
He suddenly felt that although these pearls in front of him were beautiful, they were nothing.
It's just some beautiful dead things, and if you see too much, you will naturally get bored......
However, the world described by Zhao Hao seems to be vast and boundless, and it is impossible to completely explore it in a lifetime.
His breathing became more and more rapid, and he couldn't wait to ask:
"Champion Hou, can I go to those places in my life?"
"Absolutely.
But we need to be well prepared, and when the world is calm, we will build bigger ships, prepare a lot of food, and bring the most elite soldiers.
At that time, our warriors will be able to cross the ocean and reach places where our ancestors have never been, and future generations will surely praise our greatness and progress when they judge our time.
Since the time of Zhou Tianzi, the world has always been so big, but the real world is not only this small land. β
Liu Chan was fascinated when he heard this, he nodded vigorously, turned his head to look in the direction of the sea and said vigorously: "In the future, I must go over there to see, definitely, must go!" β
