Chapter 10: Killing

Although Liu Ye doesn't know much about Sun Shao, he has a recent thing that makes him very concerned, that is, Jiangdong is making new wine, and the recipe for the new wine is the masterpiece of the Sun Captain in front of him. He was interested in new wine, and he was worried that he didn't have a chance to speak, but he didn't expect Sun Shao to send it to the door, of course he couldn't let it go.

Sun Shao smiled and nodded: "I have nothing to do, and I also like to tinker with these miraculous skills, and I have been longing for thunderbolts for a long time. ”

Liu Ye laughed twice, and heard another meaning from it, but he didn't break it, nodded and said: "In this case, after the prime minister's head wind improves, Rong Ye asks for instructions, if the prime minister allows, Ye naturally does not dare to hide his secrets, and is willing to learn from the captain." ”

Sun Shao glanced at the heavily guarded tent, listened to Cao Ying's faint moan, sighed and said, "Cao Gong is really worried about state affairs." ”

Liu Ye sighed again and again, shaking his head silently. Cao Ying's head wind is getting more and more frequent, of course he knows some reasons, Cao Ying is the king, the heart of the disobedience has been revealed, the royalists are ready to move, the external pressure suddenly increases, and the internal is not stable, after Yuan Shao and Liu Biao abolished the long and young and died, Cao Ying also followed on the same road, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's struggle for heirs has entered the white heat, and both sides have their own good support forces, and they are about to cause disaster Xiao Wall. It's just that these reasons can't be told to Sun Shao, so he can only sigh and sigh. He didn't know that Sun Shao had just used this incident to stimulate Cao Ying to get sick.

The two of them said that there was no nutrition, and after a while, they saw a tiger man hurriedly walk up to Liu Ye and whispered a few words, Liu Ye turned his head and glanced at Sun Shao, hesitated for a moment, and bowed: "Sun Jun, I heard that you have a way to cure the head wind?" ”

Sun Shao nodded: "I learned a little massage technique, and I can't do it at the root, but it is still possible to relieve the pain." ”

"Dare to ask Sun Jun to do it." Liu Ye said earnestly. Sun Shao did not shirk and followed the tiger into the account. There was some chaos in the big tent, more than a dozen doctors surrounded Cao Ying, all sweating profusely, with helpless faces, Cao Ying was lying on the marching couch, his forehead was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, his eyes were a little bulging outward, and the corners of his mouth were drooling. Xu Yu was like a protective god, standing beside Cao Ying without giving an inch, and when he saw Sun Shao coming in, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and let go with some unease.

Sun Shao didn't say much, waved his hand and said: "Please go out with all the irrelevant people, there are too many people, and the breath is turbid, which is not conducive to the prime minister's sick body." ”

Xu Yu thought that he wanted to keep the technology secret, and he didn't object, so he immediately coaxed all the useless doctors out, and only he and Liu Ye stayed. Sun Shao asked him to help Cao Ying up, and reached out to pull the hairpin on Cao Ying's crown. Xu Yu was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to draw a knife, but Liu Ye grabbed his arm. Xun You shook his head at him and motioned for him to relax. Xu Yu looked at it, and saw that Sun Shao's face was solemn, and his hands quickly untied Cao Shao's bun, threw all the crown belts aside, and let his gray scalp all fall apart, and then the ten fingers started from the back of his head, and quickly pressed one acupuncture point after another, seeing Xu Yu's brows kept twitching, and the hand holding the handle of the knife was pinched so that the joints were white, especially when Sun Shao pressed to the Baihui acupoint, if it wasn't for Liu Ye's pull, Xu Yu might have killed Sun Shao with a knife.

Fortunately, with the dance of Sun Shao's fingers, Cao Ying's twitching face slowly relaxed, and the moaning gradually became lighter, and when Sun Shao was sweating profusely, Cao Ying finally fell asleep tiredly.

"Thank you, Sun." Xu Yu fell to the ground: "I misunderstood Sun Jun just now, please do a lot of Haihan." ”

"The Tiger Marquis is loyal, which is the prime minister's luck." Sun Shao stood up, raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead, suddenly felt dizzy, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Liu Ye didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked people to carry him to the side and let the doctor treat him. After the doctor saw it, he said that he was just overly nervous and that it was no big deal, and Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

When Sun Shao woke up, it was already dark, Lu Yi and Gan Pi, who had gone and returned, sat next to him, and when they saw him wake up, they were all relieved, Gan Pei patted his chest and lowered his voice and said, "Sun Jun, why do you want to save him?" Let him die of pain, wouldn't my Jiangdong be more stable? ”

Sun Shao smiled bitterly: "His condition is far from being fatal. ”

Gan Pi suddenly realized, oh, and said no more. Sun Shao glanced at Lu Yi, who was silent, and asked again, "You came back so soon?" ”

Gan Pi grinned, "I'll be there at dusk." According to what you said, the Supreme gave a boatload of wine and five hundred stones, and it was better to pour them to death, so that our army could attack them secretly. ”

"And, think beautifully." Sun Shao was amused by Gan Pi's whimsy, and even Lu Yi, who was not smiling, was happy.

"Sun Jun, you are majestic this time." Gan Pi smacked his lips and said with some envy: "General Lu, they heard that you defeated Zhang Liao, and the soldiers in the entire dock shouted long live for you, now that the morale of our army is high, we will definitely be able to defeat the Cao army, and then you will be the biggest hero, even my Ah Weng is not as good as you." ”

"What am I, your Aweng's battle is dangerous." Sun Shao was polite, his stomach gurgled, and he laughed and said, "How long have I been dizzy, why is my stomach empty." ”

"Of course it's empty." Gan Pei smiled: "I played for a long time in the morning, and I was dizzy for half a day in the afternoon, so it's no wonder that it's not empty." ”

As soon as the tent door rang, Yang Xiu walked in with a smile: "Is Sun Jun awake?" Hungry, right? Hurry up and wash up, the prime minister set up a banquet for Sun Jun, and all the gentlemen who accompanied him arrived, just waiting for Sun Jun, the distinguished guest. ”

"Hahaha...... I'm a little embarrassed to keep you waiting. Sun Shao turned over, washed his face, and followed Yang Xiu into Cao Ying's big tent. The big tent was really brightly lit, more than a dozen cases were neatly arranged, slaves and maids were serving food with food tables, Zhang Liao and other military generals were in the south, Xun You and other ministers were in the north, although there were many people, but no one spoke.

Cao Ying sat facing east, and when he saw Sun Shao, he smiled and beckoned.

"Is Gong Cao okay?" Sun Shao hurriedly rushed to Cao Ying and bowed down.

"Thanks to you today, otherwise the old man would have suffered." Cao Ying waved his hand, stood up, and clapped his hands. The already quiet tent was even quieter, and all the civil and military generals turned their gazes.

"Gentlemen, the reason for holding a banquet today is to introduce a young hero to everyone." Cao Ying's laughter was loud, but Sun Shao was taken aback, Cao Ying was too face-saving, and it was just a banquet, and he actually had to introduce it in person, which was a bit too much. As the saying goes, there is nothing to be done, and it is either a thief, and it is estimated that this old thief has no good intentions. He was angry in his heart, but his face was silent, he just looked at Cao Ying with a smile. Cao Ying took Sun Shao's arm and walked in front of everyone: "This is the son of Sun Bofu, the rebellious general back then, Sun Shao and Sun Fengxian." This morning, he showed his might, and fought with General Wen Yuan's father and son, and actually won Wen Yuan's move, which can be described as a tiger father without a dog. ”

Everyone was a little surprised, some people were in the rear army and didn't know about it at all, and some people were in the front army and knew that there were people in front of them who challenged, but they didn't know that they were challenging Zhang Liao, and they also won Zhang Liao. When they heard this, they were astonished.

Sun Shao hurriedly explained: "Cao Gong praised, where is the kid General Wenyuan's opponent, it is his subordinates who show mercy, if he didn't just want my weapon to get rid of it at that time, but took advantage of the situation to stab directly, the kid would have been on the battlefield." General Wenyuan, I will thank you for your mercy later. ”

Zhang Liao's face was a little unbearable, but now when he heard Sun Shao say this, he suddenly smiled: "Sun Jun is polite, Zhang Liao doesn't want to win you, it's really powerless." Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed, they all subconsciously agreed with Sun Shao's words, a young man, and a southerner, wanted to win Zhang Liao right away, it seemed that it was indeed a bit mysterious. Cao Ying stroked his beard, looked at Sun Shao and smiled silently, and when they were polite, he smiled again: "Sun Jun not only fought with Wen Yuan, but also saved Lone's life today, if it weren't for him, Lone might not have seen you today." ”

The crowd was stunned again.

Sun Shao hurriedly said modestly: "Cao Gong is worried about the people in the world, God will bless the good people, the kid just knows that he will meet, even if there is no kid, Cao Gong will be fine." ”

"It's not easy for young people to have this surname." Cao Ying laughed heartily and said: "I won't tell you, when I was so young, I couldn't wait to be famous all over the world, where do I know the word modesty." Boy, the country is troublesome, you should work hard. ”

Sun Shao smiled bitterly, he understood, Cao Ying was simply killing him, and now giving him face like this, Lu Yi and Gan Pi went back and said, it's no wonder that Sun Quan is not popular. He shook his head helplessly, Lao Cao is Lao Cao, killing people quietly. If he doesn't boast like this, he may still have an official to do when he goes back, and doing such a show is tantamount to giving Sun Quan a big problem.

"Come, Lone introduces Sun Jun to the advisors and warriors in my account." Cao Ying took Sun Shao's arm and walked to Wenchen's side: "This is Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, you already know him, he is full of wit, clever and scheming, and he is a lonely thinker." This is Liu Fang Liu Yanlong of Zhuo County, who participated in the military affairs of the prime minister, read books and biography, and was profoundly educated. This is Hongnong Yang Xiu Yang Dezu, the fourth and third dukes, after the famous family of my Han Dynasty, he is quick to think, and he is not alone. When the march met Handan Chun's book, there was a stele inscribed by Cai Bojiao, "Huang Juan young woman, grandson Yan Jiu" eight characters, Lone and Dezu analyzed its meaning together, he blurted out, and Lone thought about it for thirty miles. Sun Jun, do you know what it means? ”

Of course Sun Shao knew that this story was too famous. However, he still hesitated for a while and said: "With Cao Gong's talent, it is still thirty miles, and the kid must ride a horse for at least a day to be possible." ”

Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, and everyone laughed too. Yang Xiu has always been very proud of this, and now he is even more proud, stroking his beard and looking around proudly.

Cao Ying continued to introduce, he seemed to be in a very good mood today, and he introduced twenty or thirty in one go, and he didn't feel tired. Sun Shao greeted him one by one, among these people there are not only names that he is familiar with, but also many people he is very strange, and he has the opportunity to comment on Cao Ying today, so he naturally has to remember it with his heart. Everyone was very satisfied when they saw that he was beautiful, good at martial arts, and decent in speaking, and when they saw Cao Ying's praise, whether they understood or not, they dared to slack off, and came up one by one to salute Sun Shao and toast Sun Shao. Sun Shao did not refuse to come, and drank until he was drunk, and then he was finished by Lu Yi and Gan Pi.

When he woke up the next day, the people sent by Liu Ye were already waiting outside. After Sun Shao washed up, he followed him to Liu Ye's tent, and Liu Ye smiled when he saw him: "Sun Jun has a lot." ”

Sun Shao shook his head embarrassedly: "Meng Lang yesterday, I'm ashamed." ”

"When you are a teenager, it doesn't hurt to be wild." Liu Ye smiled faintly and said: "Sun Jun is heroic, the prime minister is very fond of Sun Jun, Sun Jun is a good martial artist, it's a pity to be a school captain, are you interested in going to the prime minister's account?" The prime minister knows people well, and with Sun Jun's ability, it is not surprising that he will be crowned and worshipped. ”

Sun Shao was silent for a moment, but still shook his head: "Shao Sheng's surname is lazy, not used to restraint, thank you for the wrong love, Shao doesn't dare to be." ”

Liu Ye looked at Sun Shao with a smile and was not surprised, and asked after a while: "Since Sun Shao is unwilling to give in, then what does Sun Shao want, the prime minister wants to reward you for your rescue." ”

Sun Shao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Liu Ye with a smile. "Really?"

Liu Ye couldn't help laughing: "Of course it's true, why should the prime minister laugh with you." ”

"I intend to do business, if it's convenient for the Prime Minister, give me a piece of paper, let me pass the world." Sun Shao's eyes lit up and said, "It would be great if I could be exempted from taxes again." ”

Liu Ye was a little hesitant, he looked at Sun Shao's face, and felt a little incredible, this is a good official, to do business? But looking at Sun Shao's face, it didn't seem to be a lie, thinking of Sun Shao's selling wine in Jiangdong, he understood a little, and he didn't say more. "I'll report this matter to the prime minister immediately, you wait a moment, this is the blueprint of the thunderbolt, is Sun Jun interested?"

Sun Shao looked at the drawings that Liu Ye held tightly in his hand, but he didn't speak, he looked at Liu Ye with a smile and said, "Sir, do you have to exchange something with me?" ”

Liu Ye grinned, patted the drawings lightly, and sighed: "This is a sharp weapon in the army, and you also know that it is impossible to treat outsiders lightly." It's just that you have a meritorious role in rescuing the prime minister this time, so the prime minister specially allowed you to take a look, but you can't look at it in vain, don't you say? ”

Sun Shao leaned back, touched a little hair on his lips that had just appeared, and frowned: "But I don't seem to have anything to exchange with you, do you want money?" The Prime Minister doesn't seem to be short of my money, right? But I don't have anything but money? ”

"No money." Liu Ye looked at Sun Shao's face and said slowly: "The recipe I want for that wine is the wine I drank yesterday." ”

Cao Ying got a detailed report last night, saying that a large number of wine from Jianye's new wine workshop has been transported to various military camps recently, and these wines are not used to drink, but to heal wounds, although it is not yet known what the specific effect is, but from the perspective of Jiangdong's cautious situation, the effect of this wine should not be bad. Cao Ye fell in love when he heard it, and it happened that Liu Ye went to report that Sun Shao wanted to see the thunderbolt car, so he asked Liu Ye to test Sun Shao's attitude. In their opinion, Sun Shao is now going to be an official, and they can fulfill his wish, and I believe that Sun Shao will be very happy. But none of them thought that the wine used to heal the wound and the wine drunk were actually the same thing.

To Liu Ye's surprise, Sun Shao shook his head again and again when he heard it: "Forgive me for not being obedient." ”

"Why?"

"Sir doesn't know, although I am a lieutenant now, I have no soldiers under my command, and I have a salary, but I can't support my family. Now that I am all relying on this wine to make money, I will starve to death if I give you the recipe? To be honest, I wanted to see this thunderbolt, on the one hand, I wanted to see the miraculous skills of Mr. Wang, and on the other hand, I wanted to see if it could be installed on a big ship so that it could be used against pirates in the future. But if you want my recipe for this wine, hehe, that's not okay. ”

"Out to sea?" Liu Ye groaned for a while, twisting his beard and being silent.

Sun Shao said again: "I can't give you the recipe for wine, and I can't cut off my own money." If the prime minister allows me to do business in the Central Plains, I can sell it exclusively in the Central Plains to ensure that you can drink this kind of wine. As for this thunderbolt, I have another idea, which may be worth exchanging with you, I wonder if Mr. is interested. ”

"What else could be like getting on a thunderbolt?" Liu Ye disagreed.

"Chase the wind." Sun Shao said word by word: "The chasing wind that specializes in the head wind is scattered." ”

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, his body shook involuntarily, and his voice, which had always been very calm, became a little trembling: "The chasing wind of the head wind is scattered?" Is this true? ”

"Seriously."

Liu Ye stared at Sun Shao's face for a long time, then suddenly got up and said, "You wait." After speaking, without waiting for Sun Shao to react, he grabbed the drawings and ran away. Of course, Sun Shao knew what he was doing, and he was not in a hurry, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister." Liu Ye walked into Cao Ying's big tent quickly, and Cao Ying, who was reading the official document, raised his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "What, Sun Shao agreed?" ”

"It's not." Liu Ye gasped, hurriedly gave a salute, and sat opposite Cao Ying. "Prime Minister, he doesn't want to give a prescription for wine, but he has a prescription, chasing the wind, and he specializes in chasing the wind."

Cao Ying originally wanted to laugh at Liu Ye for two sentences, but he was also taken aback when he heard this, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a click: "Chasing the wind and scattering? ”

"Exactly."

"Is it credible?" Cao Ying asked, thought about it, and didn't ask again. Sun Shao can use massage to relieve his head wind, so it is not impossible to have a prescription for chasing the wind. It's just that the thunderbolt is a sharp weapon in the army, if this thing is given to Sun Shao, it will be equivalent to giving Sun Quan, how many casualties will be added in the future? But if you really have this chasing wind and your head is cured, then you can suffer a lot less. This head of wind has been torturing itself a lot lately.

Cao Ying hesitated.

Liu Ye looked at Cao Ying, whose eyes were rolling, knowing that he was weighing and didn't dare to make a sound, and after a while, Cao Ying exhaled lightly: "Doesn't he want to be an official?" ”

Liu Ye also regained his composure, and said with a faint smile: "I want to, but he doesn't dare." I look at his meaning, he is very jealous of Sun Quan, and may not want to fight among himself, so he said that he wants to go to sea, and he hopes that the prime minister will let him do business in the Central Plains and give him the privilege of tax exemption. ”

"Doing business?" Cao Ying pursed his lips and dismissed, he didn't believe that Sun Shao was telling the truth at all. No matter how big a businessman is, if he doesn't have the power to do it, he is a fat sheep, which seems to be his own, but in fact he is only raised for others. Sun Shao, this kid is not stupid to that point, how can he be so naΓ―ve, he started by killing people, it is impossible not to know this truth. If you want to say that you don't want to fight with Sun Quan, it's a bit possible, which shows that he still knows how to take care of the overall situation.

"Looks like you're going to push him." Cao Ying picked up the pen again, and tapped his fingers lightly on the case: "He wants to endure it, but Sun Quan may not be able to bear it." Ziyang, you see what way to make him and Sun Quan incompatible. ”

Liu Ye thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's unlikely now, even if Sun Shao has the heart, he doesn't have that strength." Sun Ce's old ministry back then has almost passed away, and now Jiangdong is Sun Quan's world, if he wants to get ahead, I'm afraid Sun Quan won't give him this opportunity. He wants to do business and go to sea, and I am afraid that he also realizes this, so he takes the initiative to avoid suspicion. ”

"Hey, hey, you said that if he had the blueprints of this thunderbolt, would he give it to Sun Quan?" A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Ying's mouth, as if he already had an idea.

"It's hard to say." Liu Ye said very solemnly, he thought for a while, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind: "Prime Minister, I have a strategy to force Sun Shao and Sun Quan to turn against each other." ”

"Say it quickly."

Liu Ye whispered a few words, Cao Ying listened, his eyebrows shrugged, a smile spread from the corner of his eyes, he nodded: "This strategy is very good, if it really works, no matter how he copes, he can't have both." ”
