"What's your name? Who? After the man put down the big stone, he was praised by a group of recruits at the core, and Zhao Feng stepped forward and asked. This man was also wearing a recruit uniform, apparently having just enlisted this year.

"General Hui, the villain's name is Niu Jin, a native of Nanyang!" The man replied.

Niu Jin, the fierce general of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period in history? Zhao Feng was a little surprised now, he didn't expect to meet him here. Think about it in history, this guy is simply an outlaw, he dared to fight with tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops with only 500 people, and he was really not afraid of death. Later, Sima Yi wanted to usurp power and knew that he was a loyal minister of Cao Wei, so he poisoned him to death. The person who can make Sima Yi so jealous is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Feng looked at the big stone that had just been put on the ground by Niu Jin, why did you kid join the army to perform a big stone on his chest?

Niu Jin smiled and didn't say anything, and one of the uncles in charge of training the recruits hurriedly replied: "Back to the general's words, this kid always claims to be good at martial arts, so I said that if you really have the ability, you can lift this big stone, and he lifted it." ”

"No, did you promise people what will happen when you lift it?" Zhao Feng felt a little untrue when he heard this, no matter how impulsive Niu Jin was, he was not such an easily provoked person. If it weren't for the promise made by this Duber, how could he have worked so hard.

"General, this, it's just a joke made by the villain and him, it's not true!" This Duber suddenly laughed. However, Niu Jin didn't do anything when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "Uncle Li, you agreed, I will lift this stone and walk ten steps, and you will let me be the captain, these brothers have heard it, you can't talk and don't count!" When the recruits heard this, they immediately became noisy.

Li Dubo was even more sweaty when he heard this, and he could only smile at Zhao Feng. "Captain?" Zhao Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised by Niu Jin's "lofty ambition". In the Eastern Han Dynasty military system, five people were set up as a team, and the army commander was set up, which can be said to be the lowest level of officers, and even the salary was only one percent higher than that of ordinary soldiers, which was simply a symbol of the surname. At that time, even if it was such a low official position, it was not something that could be appointed by a small hundred-person official like Li Dubo.

But it's normal to think about it, this Niu King Kong joined the army just now, so naturally he has no "ambition". Looking at Li Dubo, who was cramped in front of him, and Niu Jin, who was looking forward to it, Zhao Feng cleared his throat and said: "Niu Jin, a man's husband must have great ambitions, what is a mere captain?" Uncle Li, you are holding a military rank as a lottery head, provoking the recruits not to train but watching the excitement here, if you want to treat you as a disturber to the morale of the army, it is not wronged. In this way, I will give you a chance to make meritorious atonements. The two of you are one-on-one, if Niu Jin wins, then I will promote him to an official; If you win, I will not hold you responsible. ”

"Yes!" The two had to agree to both, and then a recruit handed them two wooden guns, and Niu Jin and Li Dubo stood together in a short time. After more than ten moves, Niu Jin saw a flaw and swept a shot, and immediately swept Li Dubo to the ground.

"Good!" The recruits were all elated when they saw Niu Jin win, and the spirit of being able to kill these old birds was indeed a very cool thing for them. Zhao Feng also nodded secretly, this Li Dubo's kung fu is quite solid, otherwise he would not have been allowed to train recruits. Since Niu Jin can easily defeat him, he is worthy of being a person who has left a name in history.

"Uncle Li, you go and run ten laps!" Zhao Feng ordered, he doesn't like to punish people for money or reward people with military sticks, generally if he doesn't violate military law, it's enough to run in circles. Li Dubo was amnesty, and hurriedly went to run circles in good spirits. Looking at Niu Jin, who was a little excited, Zhao Feng nodded and said, "The martial arts are good, don't train with the recruits anymore, be the head of my guard!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Niu Jin was overjoyed when he heard this. Although Shi Changzhi is one level higher than Wu Chang, the personal guard of the general is very different. Zhao Feng ordered someone to find a horse for him, so that he could practice riding a horse and then obey orders.

"Second brother!"

"Lord!"

With two excited voices, the joyful Sun Yi and Ding Feng walked into the Jiaozhou Pastoral Mansion with their heads held high. "Second brother, Cheng Yuan, how are things going?" Seeing the excited expressions of the two people, Sun Quan had actually basically guessed the outcome of the matter, but he still asked.

"Second brother, according to the guidance of those old boatmen, we went to sea from Zhuya County and drove northeast for more than half a month, and sure enough, we found a big island. Cheng Yuan and I roughly calculated, there are nearly 1,000 miles from north to south, and more than 300 miles from east to west, which is larger than Zhuya County. The land on the island is fertile and abundant, and it is even more beautiful and rich than Jiaozhou! Sun Yi couldn't hide his excitement.

"Is the island inhabited?" Sun Quan asked one of the most pressing questions.

"There are some indigenous people, although the accents are different, but they can still be heard in Chinese. According to their own accounts, they are descendants of the Baiyue tribe. But as far as I can see, these people live in extreme poverty, similar to the Shanyue people! Ding Feng replied.

"Ziming led the people to build a city there, named it Tamsui, leaving 3,000 soldiers stationed there, and many local natives came to rob it, but were repelled by our army. However, Ziming also said that this is not a long-term solution, and asked the lord to send someone to govern as soon as possible. Sun Yi remembered something and said.

"I see, I don't know how many people there are in this Yizhou?" Sun Quan thought for a while.

"According to the elders of their clan, there are at least more than 100,000 people." Sun Yi replied. (I don't know how many people there were in Taiwan during the Three Kingdoms period, so let's just say it) "That's good, Gongji, Chengyuan, you lead 30,000 troops to follow the guide to Yizhou, and you must pacify it like Jiaozhou." If those natives know the current affairs, they will be incorporated into the people's soldiers, and those who do not know the current affairs will be exterminated, understand? Sun Quan commanded resolutely.

"Understood!" Ding Feng and Ling Tong hurriedly responded, and the two of them immediately went down to prepare not to mention it. "Second brother, why are you making such a big deal about this Yizhou?" Sun Yi asked a little puzzled.

Sun Quan did not directly answer his brother's question, but asked Sun Yi first: "Shubi, it has been more than two years since you and my brother came to Jiaozhou, right?" ”

"It's been two years and three months!" Sun Yi sighed, his face was a little lonely. Ignoring the little Jiujiu in his brother's heart, Sun Quan said again: "Third brother, in your opinion, is there a difference between the Jiaozhou where we live and the Jiaozhou we heard about when we were in Jiangdong?" ”

This time, Sun Yi didn't answer so quickly. After a little silence, Sun Yi said: "When I was in Jiangdong, I thought that Jiaozhou was a place full of miasma and poisonous snakes. Now that I am here, I know that the world has many misunderstandings about this. The land of Jiaozhou is fertile, and the rice can be harvested three times a year, and after pacifying the rebellion of the Cham people, the people here live and work in peace and contentment, which is really a paradise in the south. ”

"Yes, if anyone had told me three years ago that Jiaozhou was a paradise, I would have dismissed it as ridiculous. However, what we see and hear now is nothing more than that. It is unbelievable that these four counties, even Zhuya County, which is lonely overseas, can have such a large piece of iron ore. Since then, I have learned that there is nothing to be done lightly in the world. This is true of Jiaozhou, and so is Yizhou. If Yizhou can be properly governed, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be another Jiaozhou in the future. Sun Quan was a little philosophical.

"What the second brother said is true!" Sun Yi nodded, completely agreeing with Sun Quan's meaning.

"Moreover, Yizhou is only a few miles away from Huiji and the South China Sea, if you can lay down a military horse in Yizhou and raid Huiji or the South China Sea, you will definitely be surprised!" Sun Quan suddenly changed his words, and his expression was radiant.

Sun Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at the surroundings to see that there was indeed no one, so he asked in a low voice: "Second brother, do you still want to go back to Jiangdong?" ”

"Don't you want to?" Sun Quan asked rhetorically.

"I naturally want to, but you, second brother?" Sun Yi was a little difficult to speak.

"Alas!" Sun Quan also sighed, and then said: "Although Jiaozhou is good, it is not our homeland. Right now, Mother and Ji Zuo are in Wu County, and they are being monitored by Liu Bei all the time. Every time I think about it, I feel deeply disturbed. But now that I am in Jiaozhou, the population under my rule is only 700,000, and the soldiers are only 60,000 or 70,000, how can I fight back to Jiangdong? I wanted to seek Jingnan as a foundation, but I didn't want to wait for me to finish Jiaozhou, Jingzhou already belonged to Liu Bei. Right now, Zhao Feng is in Jingnan, and there are still tens of thousands of male soldiers in his hands, how can I act rashly? In order to avoid self-inflicted misfortune, I can only keep my head in obscurity and wait for the time to come. I don't talk about Jiangdong in peacetime, but how have I forgotten my ambition? Third brother, now that we have won Yizhou, it is another foundation to manage it well. Even if he said that things did not work out, he could return to the island with his family, and he met his mother, which shows that the sky is endless. That being the case, if you and my brother don't let go, they may not be able to turn things around! ”

"Second brother!" Sun Yi looked at Sun Quan, who had a firm face, and suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour. Since coming to Jiaozhou, Sun Quan has worked almost at a flying speed, which is why he pacified Jiaozhou so quickly. As a result of overwork, Sun Quan, who was only twenty years old, had already grown gray hair on his sideburns. "When is the second brother going to march into Jiangdong?" Sun Yi wiped the tears from his eyes and asked.

"Wait, when Yizhou can settle down a little, and when Liu Bei and Cao Ying or Yuan Shao start the war again, and have no time to take care of Jiangdong, we will send troops to Jiangdong. Uncle Bi, in the past, it was said that the king of Yue Gou practiced lying on his salary and endured humiliation for 20 years, and I have been running Jiaozhou for two years and have achieved such achievements. As long as you work hard and wait for the time, why don't you have a chance? ”

"I understand!" Sun Yi looked at his brother and said with a firm expression. A few days later, Sun Yi, Ding Feng, and Ling Tongzhu led 20,000 Jiaozhou troops to secretly go to sea from Zhuya County to Yizhou. The aborigines of the island were immediately frightened when they saw such a murderous army. Except for a few tribes who still dare to fight, the rest are invincible. Sun Quan was then sent by Xu Jing to take up the post of civil official, appointed Lü Meng as the governor of Yizhou, built a city in Yizhou, settled men and horses, and attracted the island's residents to come to cultivate with advanced agricultural tools and seeds brought from the mainland, and selected the best and strongest to form an army. By the time this was over, it was already winter, and finally Sun Quan had finally established a foothold overseas, and had greatly replenished the population and troops, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. However, Liu Bei, who is in Shouchun, and even Zhao Feng, who is in Jingnan, have no way of knowing. Although they also arranged detailed work in Jiaozhou, it was naturally difficult to find out about this kind of thing that was far away from the ocean. What's more, they are busy recuperating now, and they can't take care of this side for a while, how could they expect that Sun Quan's gang would be able to make such a big move.

Just when Zhao Feng was busy training troops and Sun Quan was plotting to seize Yizhou, news came from the north: Yuan Shao was dead.
