"What are you doing?" Mu Zhiqiu's eyes widened angrily, Xiao Yuan's face was red with anger, and he took a step forward to stop in front of Yan Feiyan, opening his arms, like a hen guarding her chicks, Sun Shao who was standing in front of her without fear, Yan Feiyan, who was several years older than her, dared to hide behind her angrily.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee......-hee He raised his hand to stop Ao Lei, who wanted to rush up to clean up Mu Zhiqiu, and raised the portrait in his hand, a serious one: "Little girl, do you know who this is?" ”

"It's you!" Mu Zhiqiu didn't think twice: "It was shot by my young lady." ”

It's the target that you shoot. Mu Zhiqiu said that he couldn't speak, and subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, and his originally righteous and awe-inspiring expression became a little flustered. Although she is the daughter of Daddy Mu, she was born and raised in Yizhou, and her familiarity with Yizhou is far greater than that of Wu County. This portrait is a kind of curse. Cursing people is very vicious, and there are often armed fights between tribes because of this, and although she doesn't know how big the Yue Kingdom often is, she has witnessed the two thousand people of the Heda tribe cleanly beating away Wa'an.

2,000 people are so interested, what will 10,000 people look like? Mu Zhiqiu's small head couldn't imagine it, she only knew that it must be terrifying.

"Then doesn't your young lady shoot me a few arrows every day?" Sun Shao touched his nose and stared at Mu Zhiqiu quietly, seeing that Mu Zhiqiu was flustered, and retreated unfreely.

"It's not...... It's not my young lady, it's ...... Be...... I shot it. Mu Zhiqiu stammered a few words, and finally raised his head stubbornly.

"I shot it." Yan Feiyan's face turned pale, put aside Mu Zhiqiu, and stood up.

"Did you shoot it?" Sun Shao raised his eyebrows, showed that frivolous smile again, looked at Yan Feiyan, who was calm, and suddenly smiled: "Have you seen the Great Qin people in Dongye?" ”

"Great Qin people?"

"You must have seen it." Sun Shao made a look of sudden realization, and said affirmatively: "Legend has it that among the gods there is a child with a bare buttocks, a pair of wings, holding a golden bow and arrows to shoot everywhere, and the person he shoots will become a couple, no matter how far apart they are, even if it is ...... Even if it's across the boundless sea. ”

Yan Feiyan began to listen inexplicably, but after hearing it, she understood that Sun Shao was still teasing her, and she was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth, but she saw that Sun Shao didn't mean to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but she was relieved. After the initial righteous indignation was gone, she began to think of the responsibility on her shoulders, and in order for Baihuzhai to survive, she could only swallow her anger now.

"What if you shoot two men, or two women?" Mu Zhiqiu was convinced, poked his head out from behind Yan Feiyan, and looked at Sun Shao curiously with two big and round eyes.

"Then it's troublesome." Sun Shaoqiang couldn't help but laugh: "If both are men, it is a broken sleeve, if it is both two, then it is ...... Just like you. He pointed to Mu Zhiqiu and Yan Feiyan, who were close together, and stopped talking.

Mu Zhiqiu rolled his eyes, suddenly understood, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "We are just good sisters, not ...... Not that...... She squeaked for a long time, but she couldn't say anything about the rest of the words, and her little face was red, like two red apples.

"Hahaha......" Sun Shao couldn't help laughing.

At the banquet, Yan Feiyan, who was the owner of the village, was so embarrassed that he refused to speak because he had just been teased by Sun Shao, so Father Mu and Lei Zi had to do the gift of the host, they toasted Sun Shao and others, thanked Sun Shao for his generosity, and then expressed kind words such as inconsiderate hospitality. Sun Shao doesn't care, although the name of Baihu Village is very famous, but the economic situation is really not optimistic, if you want to say that you can get it, it is a monkey's head soup. It's a pity that as soon as he saw this monkey head soup, he thought of the civet cat, and he barely tasted it and didn't want to try again. However, Heda and the others are full of praise for this, and they have the posture to be satisfied with another big pot.

After drinking the self-brewed fruit wine, Sun Shao got up and went back to his camp, leaving Gu Tan and Yan Feiyan to bargain. Sun Shao gave Baihu Village a large piece of good land, Gu Tan and the others didn't understand, they felt that Baihu Village was almost finished now, if it wasn't for Sun Shao's rescue, they would definitely be wiped out, at this time it should be surrender, not the alliance, how can they give them so many benefits? Sun Shao didn't think so, he said to Gu Tan, we just arrived in Yizhou, although we have done a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, but after all, we have not had much contact with the locals, if we want to gain a firm foothold, it will be much more convenient to have Baihu Village. Those Yi people are hidden in the mountains and forests, and if they are advantageous, they will fight, and if they are unfavorable, they will go, which day will they be cleared? Heda is at stake, but if we want to occupy the entire Yizhou by force, do we have so many troops? In this case, of course, it is the most convenient inducement, and if you can lure them out with a few pieces, wouldn't it be beneficial for both parties? We are not here to grab the land and be farmers, you have to remember that always. The land is to be planted, but not by ourselves, but by trying to get others to plant it, and then let them happily sell the grain to us, or...... Dedicated to us.

Although Gu Tan had reservations about Sun Shao's approach, he also knew that the Yi people were scattered in the mountains, and with more than 10,000 of them, it was impossible to kill them all. Think about Jiangdong, from Sun Jian to Sun Quan, thirty years, Shanyue people have not gone to their roots. As a matter of urgency, inducement is indeed a better approach. Since you want to be tempted, of course, Baihu Village is the first object.

Gu Tan is very fine, a little ruthless, Sun Shao has never let him be alone, because he likes to count the other party as unable to live, this seems to maximize the benefits, but it is also easy to create contradictions. Now that he has drawn the scope, let Gu Tan come to talk, so as not to let Gu Tan force Baihu Village to have no way to live.

Competing with Gu Tanyi, from Yan Feiyan to Father Mu and Lei Zi, they all understood that it was more comfortable to deal with Sun Shao, this Gu Tan was too shrewd, he didn't even need to calculate the chips, and with a flick of his fingers, he calculated the accounts of Baihu Village clearly. Now you have less than 1,000 people, and you can't plant 1,000 hectares of fertile land by yourself, and you can't eat all the grain you planted. So let's do it, we provide new farming techniques, we provide advanced farming tools, we provide a large number of cattle, and if necessary, we can help you with production, but you have to sell us the grain you produce. You can rest assured that we will not treat you badly, in addition to farm tools, ploughing cattle and the like can be used in advances, we can also buy your inexhaustible grain at a preferential price, to ensure that you will not go hungry and will not be wasted.

The benefits are said, and in the end there are disadvantages, if we don't cooperate, then we won't be reluctant, but if there is something in the White Tiger Village in the future, we will also stand by. At this time, Yan Feiyan realized that Sun Shao's generosity was not entirely goodwill. Such a good piece of terrace, if there is no protection from Sun Shao, can they hold it? If she didn't give it to her at first, it would be fine, but now give it to her, and then let her spit it out, she will be reluctant to let her people give up. Yan Feiyan thought about it, and reluctantly agreed to Gu Tan's request, she hated Sun Shao to the core, but she couldn't show it on her face, otherwise it would be a bit of revenge.

Just when Gu Tan and Yan Feiyan were settling accounts, Sun Shao ordered Cui Qian to occupy Jinguashan.

There were originally some cottages in Jinguashan, which were built by Wa'an led by the Yi people, Wa'an was defeated by Heda in a battle, and other Yi people were scattered like birds and beasts, Cui Qian was originally the king of the mountain, and he had a very good set of construction villages, he didn't look down on the grass nests built by the Yi people at all, and ordered them all to be demolished, and then re-planned, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and began to prepare with the attitude of building a city. Sun Shao came prepared, and in addition to the more than 10,000 sailors, there were also many craftsmen and merchants. Craftsmen began to build kilns to burn bricks, cut down trees and wood, and merchants began to buy mountain goods from the nearby Yi people, selling the exquisite items they brought, such as the shortage of household utensils, rare objects, beautiful silk fabrics, and even a small number of weapons, of course, the prices of which also vary greatly. Ordinary household utensils are sold very cheaply, but the weapons are sky-high, and few weapons have not been sold, but the reputation of Yue Guo's sharp swords has slowly spread.

Wa'an rushed to Luming Village, twenty miles away from Jingua Mountain, with the remnants of 100 people, and Hei'an, the owner of Luming Village, personally went out of the village to welcome Wa'an.

Hei'an was not tall, but he was very strong, and a faint scar ran from his forehead to his chin, across his lips, and his thick lips looked a little distorted. Two big gold earrings make his earlobes much longer than others. Hei An is a good friend of Wa'an, many years ago, they fought a bad battle, and later the two of them decided the battle alone, Wa'an was slightly better, Hei Hai served him from then on, and married his widowed sister to Wa'an, which was considered a relative. His sister had died five years earlier, but his friendship with Vaan had never waned.

Seeing Vaan's embarrassed appearance, Black Bank was taken aback, and asked him what was going on while letting him in.

Wa'an's face was heavy, and he looked at Hei'an for a long time, and Hei'an was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and then sighed: "I'm in big trouble." ”

"What's the trouble?" Seeing that Waan had finally opened his mouth, Hei An asked impatiently.

"This land will no longer be ours in the future." Vaan sighed, lowered his head, folded his hands over his face, and sighed.

"Not ours?" Hei An was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "What's wrong with you?" I heard that you took thousands of people to fight the White Tiger Village, not only to occupy the gold mine, but also to rob the White Tiger Lady to be your wife, why did it suddenly become like this? ”

"Reinforcements are coming from White Tiger Village." Vaan looked up, "I was just defenseless, and I was defeated by their reinforcements. ”

"Reinforcements?" Hei An smiled before he could say anything, but his respectful smile was more ugly than crying: "Which one is so bold that he dares to support White Tiger Village?" ”

He said it boldly, but in his heart he was surprised. Wa'an's strength he knows, within a hundred miles, there is no strength beyond him, plus so many attached to him, he should have more than 4,000 people, it should be said that no one dares to provoke him at this time, to rescue the White Tiger Village, not to mention that the White Tiger Village is still an outsider, although it has been nearly thirty years in Yizhou, but it has been holding a distance from the local tribes, building a village to protect themselves, in the eyes of the Yizhou people, they are always an outsider. Who will help outsiders do right to Vaan?

But Wa'an's embarrassed appearance clearly showed that Wa'an had indeed suffered a fiasco, and Hei'an became more and more curious about the reinforcements of this White Tiger Village.

"A guy who claims to be the king of Yue." Wa'an looked at a few people next to him, Hei An saw it, and drove the people next to him out knowingly, and then muttered: "So, isn't it as simple as these people coming to help Baihu Village?" He's going to stay here for a long time? ”

Vaan nodded.

The Black Bank stopped talking. He had heard from the old people that this land was once the land of the Yue Kingdom, and that the King of Yue had come from the other side of the sea a long time ago, and that he was riding a big ship like a mountain, and they all held sharp short swords, wore armor that could not be shot, and had sharp arrows, just like gods. Although Luming Village is far away from the sea, Hei'an knows that to cross the sea and reach the distant continent, it takes a lot of risk, not only to starve, but also to always be angry with the sea god, and the people who can come and go on the sea safely are blessed by the sea god, which is the reason why an outsider in Baihu Village can stay in Yizhou safely and soundly for more than 20 years - they come and go freely on the sea.

This time, because of the temptation of the gold mine, Wa'an instigated several large tribes to attack the White Tiger Village, and also came to find the Black Bank, the Black Bank did not agree, he felt that it was too risky to attack the White Tiger Village blessed by the sea god, although the gold was very tempting, but it was not worth it to anger the sea god for the gold. Some time ago, I heard that Wa'an was going very well, not only got the gold mine, but also beat the White Tiger Village so that he didn't dare to go out, he was still a little puzzled, thinking that he was wrong, but today he saw Wa'an, he felt very happy.

Baihu Village is blessed by the god of the sea, so what about this Yue King? Black Bank hesitated. Although Baihu Village is an outsider, they have little impact on others except for occupying Jilong Mountain. The king of Yue is different, if he wants to take all this land like the previous king of Yue, let them all become his people, and offer his blood and sweat to him, then Hei'an will have to weigh his weight. If he really has that strength, in the face of death, he has to bow his head even if he doesn't bow his head, what if he doesn't have that strength? I can't be blinded by him like that.

"How many people are there in this Yue King?"

"I don't know, a big piece of black pressing." Waan pursed his lips and said in a provocative tone: "I sent someone to the beach to see it, there are so many big ships, I can't count them. ”

"Is there a boat like a mountain?" Blackshore was taken aback.

"How can there be a boat like a mountain." Vaan shook his head, dismissive.

"Oh." Hei An breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered something: "Did they arrive a few days after the sea god's anger?" ”

A hint of unease flashed in Vaan's eyes. He wanted to provoke Hei'an, but he couldn't scare Hei'an, so he deliberately didn't mention the time when Sun Shao's ship docked, but he didn't expect Hei'an to find out. He had no choice but to nod: "When I saw him, it was the second day of the sea god's anger, but I think they may have arrived a few days ago, but they didn't dare to go ashore immediately." ”

Black Shore was upset, he heard something wrong with Vaan's words, and Vaan seemed to be fooling him.

"So, this King of Yue, like the people of Baihu Village, is blessed by the god of the sea?"

"It's not." Vaan shook his head firmly and vetoed: "If they are the people blessed by the sea god, why would the sea god still wreck his ship?" As he spoke, he told his men to bring a board and throw it in front of the Black Bank: "This is their ship, and behold, the god of the sea has broken his ship, how can he still bless him." ”

Hei An looked at the boat board and thought for a long time, and finally believed Wa'an's words, he raised his head and looked at Wa'an: "What are you going to do?" ”

"This King Yue is inexplicable, and I don't know where he came from, first killed our people, and then occupied the land where our ancestors have lived for generations, to be our king, are we so easy to bully?" Waan said angrily: "Although I have lost a lot of people, but I will not be his dog, I came to you this time, just to ask for your help, together with other villages, to drive this king of Yue to the sea to worship the god of the sea." ”

Hei An was not so excited, he shook his head: "You have just suffered a loss, you should rest for a while, I will send an invitation to the other stockades and invite them to come together." This time it is not a matter of one village and two villages, it is a matter for all of us, we must advance together, retreat together, so that there will be no chaos. ”

Vaan was a little unhappy, but he didn't have enough strength now, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the Black Bank. He hesitated for a long time, so he had to agree to Hei'an, while resting in Luming Village, and on the other hand, he and Hei'an jointly invited the nearby Baili village to come to discuss the matter.

Sun Shao stood on Jingua Mountain, looking at the glittering ravine, and couldn't help but want to laugh. He had never thought that there was such a good thing as bending down to pick up gold.

"King, when will gold mining begin?" Wei Xiu couldn't hold back the question in his heart, and finally opened his mouth to Sun Shao. This time, he took a large number of cargo ships from Qiantang and came to Yizhou together, although he lost a few small cargo ships in the storm, but in general, the loss was not large, especially when he saw the gold-paved ravine in front of him, his eyes were full of golden light. In this way, as long as Sun Shao asked him to dig a boatload of soil, he would make a lot of money. But what made him feel strange was that Sun Shao had not ordered mining, but was busy building the city, as if he was going to live here for a long time.

"Gold mining?" Sun Shao smiled: "We don't have enough manpower, some of the sailors have to go out to sea to fish, and some of them have to repair the city, where are the manpower to mine gold, just rely on the sailors you brought?" ”

Wei Xiu didn't dare to say anything, he really thought so, he had secretly sent someone to try it, these golden sands had a good gold content, and they didn't need too many people to have a considerable income, but he heard that Sun Shao didn't mine in the near future, so he had to hide this thought, so as not to make Sun Shao feel that he was too greedy and cut off his own money.

"The king wants to build a city here?" Wei Xiu changed the subject.

"yes, I want to build a city here." Sun Shao pointed to the distance: "Not only do I want to build a city here, but I also want to build more cities, and there must be a city in the entire Yizhou." ”

"That's a lot of work." Sheng Gu stroked his beard and said worriedly: "King, with our people, I am afraid that we will not be able to build a city in two years." If you want to build it, it will be a small castle at most, and the garrison is okay, but if you really want to become a city, it will not be possible for ten or eight years. ”

"As long as there are people, it's possible." Sun Shao smiled and slowly walked down the mountain.

"Do you need to return the money?" Sheng Gu hurriedly followed, and said worriedly: "There are not many people in Yue, I'm afraid they won't be willing to come here." Besides, so many people, the daily consumption of food is very considerable, and the cost of transportation by sea ships alone is too great, I am afraid that half of this golden ditch will be dug up. ”

"Transporting people from Qian Tang?" Sun Shao glanced at Sheng Gu and shook his head again and again: "That's not good, Prime Minister Yu and they won't agree." ”

Sheng Gu didn't say anything, of course he knew that Yu Fu would not agree, and he would transport people all the way to him, not to mention whether he was satisfied with the water and soil, just said that the freight cost of this person and food was very amazing, and in the end it would definitely outweigh the losses. He frowned and thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of a good way to solve this problem, so he had to follow Sun Shao, hoping to hear his opinion.

Guan Chao hurriedly walked over, saluted Sun Shao, and said hurriedly: "King, the news of the scouts has come, Wa'an ran to Luming Village, and Hei'an, the head of Luming Village, is convening the nearby Baili Village to discuss matters, and it seems that there is a big action. ”

"How many villages are there in the vicinity, and how many people are there in total?" Sun Shao remained silent, put his hands behind his back, and continued to walk forward. Guan Chao followed him and said: "There are more than 30 large and small villages, the big ones are thousands of people, and the small ones are 100 people, and the total number of people must be 10,000 or 20,000. ”

"That's the kind of person?" Sun Shao was a little disappointed.

"There aren't many people in the mountains." Guan Chao explained: "However, these Yi people are very barbaric, and if they are advantageous, they will fight, and if they are unfavorable, they will go, once they have a feud, they will not die, if they ......"

Guan Chao stopped the topic and didn't say any more, but his worried look was revealed.

"Are you worried that we can win the war, but we may not be able to annihilate them all, and the disaster will be endless?"

Guan Chao nodded, he was worried about this. Although Sun Shao brought more than 10,000 people this time, including 2,000 elite soldiers who are skilled in mountain and jungle warfare, but Yizhou is so big, they can't win and run, when will you be able to clean it up?

"There's no hurry." Sun Shao smiled: "I'm not afraid of them coming, I'm afraid that they won't come, I'm not afraid that there are many of them, I'm afraid that there are few of them, the more people who come, the better, it's best if all the people from Yizhou come, then I'm happy." ”

"Does the king want to gather and annihilate him?" Guan Chao had an idea.

"Annihilation? Why annihilate? Sun Shao shook his head again and again: "I am the king of Yue, they are my people, why should I kill people for no reason?" I'm going to have a good talk with them. By the way, Guan Chao, you go to Daddy Mu and ask him to pick a few people who are fluent in both Yi and Chinese, and they can be used during negotiations. ”

Negotiation? Not only Guan Chao was stunned, but Sheng Gu in the back was also stunned, what is there to talk about with those Yi people, chickens and ducks. Keep the White Tiger Village, then there is a bit of a saying, no matter what, most of the people in the White Tiger Village are from the Wuyue area, what are the Yi people? They are savages, and the Yue people are fundamentally different things, there is no similarity, and it is far more convenient to negotiate with them than to use a war knife.
