Chapter 61: The Little Bridge Flows
"Huiji?" Sun Shao couldn't help laughing: "The Supreme will let me go to Huiji?" β
"Why not?" Yu Chuan asked rhetorically: "Huiji Qian Tangkou can reach Guangling by going north to the sea for a day or two, and attack Xuzhou with Guangling as a base, advance and retreat freely, you can attack Huaiyin directly from Zhongshui, or you can go to Huaiyin from Huaishui." Huaiyin, then Xuzhou is in the front of the army. Moreover, once the general entered Huaiyin, it would directly threaten Zang Ba's safety, and Zang Ba's Qingxu Sailor Division would naturally withdraw from the river, so that Jiangdong could gain an invincible position. Qian Tangkou now has the ability to repair ships, which can just meet the needs of the general, does the general think that the Supreme will always put the Houguan Shipyard in your hands? β
Sun Shao understood a little, Yu Xuan did not say that Sun Quan would give him Huiji County, but that he would let him stay in Qian Tangkou. Several great families in Qian Tangkou have the strength to help him repair ships, but they do not have the strength to help him build a large number of ships, which can not only meet his needs, but also control his development. As for Yu Tuo, he is stationed in Qiantangkou, and the Huiji family has strong support and can get more benefits. It can be seen from these words that although he is in a good mood now, he does not regard Nanhai as his home after all, in his mind, there may still be derogatory elements in Nanhai, but his boss respects him very much, so he is in a good mood.
"You can't start from Guangling." Sun Shao shook his head and denied Yu Fu's plan: "The water is shallow, and the building ship cannot pass smoothly, so we can only use medium-sized warships to fight against the Qingxu Naval Division, and the damage will increase." And when we enter the middle water, we will be constrained by the terrain, and we can no longer come and go without a trace like we are now. β
Yu Fu heard the implication that Sun Shao was reluctant to attack Huaiyin from Guangling, of course, he was worried about the bad terrain, but he was more worried about being controlled by others. Although it is said that Guangling's guard is Sun Shao, Sun Shao is not his brother after all, and the relationship between the two is not very good.
"That through Huaishui? However, in this case, the difficulty of transporting the baggage will be greatly increased. β
"If he wants me to go to war, he will naturally arrange my baggage, and we don't need to worry about this problem." Sun Shao pursed his lips, not wanting to discuss this topic anymore. First, these are all estimates of Yu Translation, although the surname may be very large, but after all, it has not yet become a reality, and secondly, he originally considered Liaodong, not the Huiji that Yu Translation hoped, and it may be a little too early to talk about it now. Yu Pan didn't even want to stay in Jiaozhou, and told him that Liaodong was not boring.
Yu Pan saw that Sun Shao was a little interested, and thought that Sun Shao was playing tricks like before, forcing Sun Quan to give him a burden, otherwise he would not participate in the war, but he didn't think of what Sun Shao was thinking. He is not against this approach, and it is not a good thing not to go to war, as long as people do not grab the handle. If Sun Shao can have a tough attitude and be appropriately measured, then they will have a good time following Sun Shao.
β¦β¦ Bu Qi rushed to Jiaolu, and Shi Xie knew that he was gone, and took the initiative to go out of the city to ask for guilt. Bu Qi knew that although he had the upper hand, the strength of the Shi family was still there, and it was not yet time to wipe them out, so he did not accept Shi Xie's request to resign and hand over to Lu Taishou, and also retained Shi You's Jiuzhen Taishou. But he said that according to the practice of the court, the officials of 2,000 stones can be appointed as the sons, and you should not live up to the good intentions of the Supreme and send your sons to Jianye. Shi Xie and Shi You knew that the so-called Wei Lang was to be a proton, if it was before, they would definitely be unwilling, but now they can't send it, so they have to nod and agree. Ten days later, five children of the Shi family, led by Shi Xie's youngest son, Shi Di, rushed to Jianye under the escort arranged by Bu Qi, along with a large amount of property and Jiaozhou's rent this yearβthree times the amount of last year.
At this point, Buqi pocketed six of the seven counties in Jiaozhou, leaving only Li Jing, the Taishou of Yuenan County, who had not yet served for the first time, but he didn't care, first, Yuenan was too far away, and secondly, Sun Shao had gone straight from Zhuya to Yuenan, if nothing else, Sun Shao would definitely not let Li Jing go. At present, his most urgent task is to return to Nanhai County, seize Shiwei's military power, and bring this naval force into his hands, otherwise, Nanhai will be completely Sun Shao's world, and he will not have much say at all.
In front of Shi Xie's handwritten letter and the 10,000 elite soldiers under Bu Qi, Shi Wei was like a defeated rooster, completely lowered his once high head, bowed his head to courtiers, and handed over more than 200 warships and more than 4,000 soldiers in his hands.
The completed Buqi did not stop, and sent 600 miles to send the good news to Jianye.
When Sun Quan received the battle report, he was ecstatic at first, and then a little worried. Jiaozhou got his wish, if Sun Shao's prediction can finally be realized, Jiaozhou will become his stable rear, just as Cao Ying had Jizhou at the beginning, he will also have a base that can provide him with a steady stream of wealth and food. More importantly, from now on, he will not only need to collect taxes from Yangzhou, and the burden of Yangzhou will be greatly reduced, which will also be conducive to his rule over the six counties of Jiangdong. What he was worried about was that Sun Shao played a role in deciding the surname in this battle, and he had to make a reward in time to boost morale. How to reward has become a problem.
Sun Shao is now a general of Fubo, he has made meritorious contributions, and if he is promoted again, he will be at least a partial general, not only to promote his position, but also to be a marquis, not only to be a marquis, but also to give him food, so that he can have the ability to support the more than 10,000 sailors under his command. This is the practice of Jiangdong, every general is like this, and Sun Shao is naturally no exception, so it is logical for Sun Shao to ask for a county in Zhuya and to include Zhuya in his own food range.
Sun Quan was not reluctant to Zhu Ya, he felt that Zhu Ya was a wild place, and the rent was very limited, but Sun Shao took the initiative to ask for it, which seemed more abrupt. Before this, everything Sun Shao gave was given by him, and he gave it to Sun Shao, not Sun Shao took the initiative to ask for it.
This shows that Sun Shao has strength and ambition, which makes Sun Quan very uneasy. It was this thing that he was most worried about, and now it is slowly becoming a reality. What worries him even more is that he finds himself unable to stop this from happening.
Now remove Sun Shao's military power? Regardless of whether Sun Shao will agree or not, even if he can agree, then who can take over his people? Su Thick Legs is a pirate, Cui Qian is a pirate, they were all pacified by Sun Shao, as soon as Sun Shao leaves, will they re-enter the sea as pirates? They are the main force under Sun Shao, Su has nearly 10,000 thick legs, Cui Qian has three or four thousand people, and Yuehai, which was originally an officer and soldier, has less than 3,000 people, and as for Gan Shao's men and horses, there are only 1,000 people, not to mention that now Gan Shao is completely grateful to Sun Shao.
If Sun Shao is removed, if there is a change, he may not only not get more than 10,000 sailors, but will have more than 10,000 pirates. What's even more terrifying is that now these pirates are equipped with the warships of the sailors, and their strength is only stronger than before, not weaker, once the East China Sea and the South China Sea are again troubled, then it will be a nightmare, and Jiaozhou will inevitably miss again.
Sun Quan didn't dare to take this risk, at least until he found a suitable replacement, he couldn't do anything about Sun Shao's strength.
But if he doesn't do anything and lets Sun Shao develop like this, how can he sleep peacefully? It's only been a year, Sun Shao has sprung up and become one of the few important generals in Jiangdong, and if he is given another three or five years, will he directly knock his uncle off the stage?
Sun Quan's temples were beating wildly, and he had heart palpitations for more than ten years, but he didn't expect to prevent it, and he was accidentally sat up by Sun Shao. Now that he has lost control, the final result depends on how ambitious Sun Shao is, does he just want to be a general, or does he want to go one step further, inherit his father's career, and become the lord of Jiangdong?
"Ah Wengβ" Sun Luban rushed in like a gust of wind and threw himself into Sun Quan's arms.
"Big Tiger, why do you want to come to Ah Weng?" Sun Quan put down the battle report in his hand, hugged Sun Luban, and smiled lovingly.
"They don't play with me!" Sun Luban pointed out angrily.
"Who doesn't play with you?" Sun Quan asked with a smile: "Who is so bold and doesn't play with my big tiger?" β
"It's your two tigers."
Sun Quan understood. Huzi refers to the two sons of Ling Tong, he raised them in the mansion, in order to train them, in addition to arranging people to teach them martial arts and reading every day, he also let them ride horses every ten days. These two children have a very good heritage, they are serious in their studies, and they also have an aura in martial arts, and he is very happy and calls them Huzi many times. Probably because the big tiger thinks that she is the tiger, and now she has been robbed of the title, so she is not happy and has come to sue.
As he was talking, Xiaohu Sun Luyu pulled Mrs. Bu over, and when she saw Sun Lubanlai in Sun Quan's arms, Mrs. Bu hurriedly stepped forward to pull her away. Sun Luban pouted, hugging Sun Quan's neck, Sun Quan smiled and waved his hand, let Mrs. Concession sit down opposite, and then smiled: "What's the matter?" Why are the children making trouble again? β
Mrs. Bu was a little helpless, and glared at Sun Luban: "It's not her yet, she has to compete with Ling Lie Lingfeng, saying that if she wins, she will be a tiger, and the result will be ......."
"What happened?" Sun Quan was a little puzzled, Ling Lie was the same age as Sun Luban, although the boy was a little slower in development, half a head younger than Sun Luban, but that kid was very fierce, and he was also a good hand at fighting, did he beat Sun Luban?
Mrs. Bu sighed and explained what had happened. Sun Luban repeatedly provoked Ling Lie. Ling Lie knew his identity, of course he didn't dare to fight back, but Sun Luban refused to give up, forced Ling Lie into a corner several times and beat him hard, and finally provoked Ling Lie and accepted Sun Luban's challenge. The result was very surprising, although Ling Lie was really angry, he was not Sun Luban's opponent, and he was beaten into black eyes by Sun Luban's punch, and he was pressed to the ground and ate a mouthful of mud. What's more serious is that Sun Luban was unforgiving, forcing Ling Lie to admit that he was a dog. This is a bit of a bully, although Ling Lie is small, but he refuses to insult Ling Tong, so he refuses to admit it, as a result, Sun Luban saw her once and beat her, Ling Lie saw her as if he had seen a ghost, where did he dare to play with her.
"You beat Ah Lie?" Sun Quan couldn't help laughing, and shook Sun Luban for a moment: "You are really my big tiger." β
"Auntie's trick." Sun Luban bent his little arm and smiled proudly.
"Your aunt taught you?" Sun Quan finally knew why Sun Luban was so arrogant, and she had the support of Sun Shangxiang, who was even more arrogant.
"yes." Sun Luban said with a smile: "My aunt said that this is taught by the eldest brother, and it can increase strength." If we women practice, we can beat men. β
Sun Quan's face suddenly darkened, and he had been doing it for a long time, and the root cause was Sun Shao again. He put down Sun Luban a little sheepishly, but Sun Luban didn't notice the change in his mood, pointed to the battle report that had just been sent to the case and asked, "Ah Weng, where did this come from?" β
"Jiaozhou's battle report." Sun Quan glanced at Mrs. Bu: "The state has been pacified, and the proton of the Shi family is already on the way." β
When Mrs. Bu heard this, she couldn't help but be a little overjoyed, Bu Qiu had been in Jiaozhou for seven or eight years, and finally pacified Jiaozhou. Bu Qi's status has improved, which means that her position is more stable. It's a pity that he couldn't give birth to a son, otherwise, there would be no suspense about the queen's position in the future. However, she knew that Sun Quan didn't like women who were too flamboyant, so she suppressed her joy and bowed: "He Xi Supreme." β
Sun Quan secretly smiled bitterly, and congratulated him, the trouble was in the back.
"Big brother won the battle?" Sun Luban exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, the battle was won." Sun Quan replied casually.
"Oh, that's great." Sun Luban jumped up, "I'm going to go to Yinping's sister-in-law, tell her the good news, and then ask her for a new leather armor, the leather armor that my eldest brother made for me is too small, and it makes me uncomfortable." After speaking, without waiting for Sun Quan to agree, he ran away in a smoke.
Sun Quan was dumbfounded. Only then did he notice that Sun Luban seemed to have grown a lot this year, and the leather armor that Sun Shao customized for her was a little small on her body. However, he wanted to tell the bridge the news by himself, what excuse did he use as an excuse when Sun Luban went like this?
"This kid ......"
"Supreme, Dahu is spoiled by Fengxian, she has no intention of studying now, she thinks about monk Xiang and Yinping learning martial arts all day long, and she will be a female general in the future, what can I do? It's eleven for the New Year, and if you don't study, it's too late. β
"My daughter's family, what kind of books do you read, can't my daughter get married if she doesn't study?" Sun Quan disagreed, thinking of Zhou Xun, the corners of his mouth showed a sneer of disdain. What kind of family children, don't they have to bow their heads obediently in the face of power? My daughter looks up to him, it is his blessing, it is the blessing of his Zhou family, does he dare to resign, will he refuse?
When Mrs. Bu saw him say this, she couldn't say anything more. She knew that all the laws would fall when they came to Sun Luban, Sun Quan liked quiet women, but he never asked his daughter so much, on the contrary, he was a little indulgent. She could vaguely guess something about this kind of psychology, but she never dared to show it.
Sun Luban rushed into the courtyard next door, all the way to Guan Feng's bedroom, Guan Feng was holding his son's hand and toddled, as soon as he saw Sun Luban rushing in like a calf, for fear of being hit by her, he hurriedly picked up his son and said with a smile: "Big Tiger, why are you so happy?" β
Sun Luban grinned, put his hands behind his back, and proudly held his little chest: "Sister-in-law Yinping, let me tell you good news, how can you thank me?" β
"What's the good news?" Guan Feng smiled: "Didn't I tell you, call your sister-in-law and call your sister-in-law, don't add your name." β
"That's not good, my eldest brother will definitely marry other women in the future, several sisters-in-law are mixed together, who knows which one, so that you can distinguish clearly." Sun Luban said openly, but he didn't notice that Guan Feng's eyes darkened, and his expression became a little unnatural. "Then you say, what good news, how do you want me to thank you?"
"Hee-hee, big brother has won the battle." Sun Luban giggled overjoyed: "How is it, is it good news?" β
Guan Feng turned his head to look at Sun Luban with a look of surprise: "Really? β
"Of course it's true, the battle report has just arrived." Sun Luyu raised his eyebrows and said with a smug smile: "The protons of the Shi family are on the way, can they still be fake?" Ah Weng said that the eldest brother now has nearly 20,000 men. β
Guan Feng suddenly felt suffocated in his heart, and he was a little out of breath. 20,000 people? Then Sun Shao's situation is not good, but dangerous. Sun Luban is a child, and he didn't hear the mystery. When Sun Quan said this, he was definitely not happy, but had another killing chance. She thought about it, handed her son to the nurse, pulled Sun Luban to the side, and said with a smile: "It's really good news, you tell me what's going on, and then I'll decide how to thank you." β
Sun Luban nodded again and again, and told Guan Feng everything he saw and heard. Guan Feng deliberately asked Sun Quan's expression at that time, but unfortunately Sun Luban didn't know how to look at his face, and he couldn't say anything. Guan Feng was a little uneasy, and responded to Sun Luban's set of leather armor, and then took her away. I sat in my room and didn't say anything for a long time. She couldn't understand that Sun Shao had always been relatively low-key, but this time he suddenly changed as if he was a person, not only unscrupulously expanding his strength, but also taking the initiative to ask Sun Quan for Zhu Ya. Isn't he afraid that Sun Quan will be suspicious of him?
Guan Feng couldn't think of a reason, so he had to tell Daqiao the news, and Daqiao also felt strange, this matter was diametrically opposed to Sun Shao's previous forbearance, it was not his style of acting at all, but it was somewhat similar to his recklessness before he got sick. Could it be that this kid has been going well recently, so he has become public? Or, did Sun Luyu hear it wrong?
Not long after, Sun Quan sent someone to the mansion to report the news, confirming that what Sun Luyu said was true. Ohashi was really panicked this time, she didn't understand what it meant, and based on past experience, she thought it might not be a good omen, but rather a very ominous news.
"Go to Zhou's Mansion to invite Mrs., and invite Ayu as well." Daqiao thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't figure out the situation, and subconsciously thought of Xiaoqiao and Zhou Yu. Xiaoqiao is still second, and her political acumen is not much stronger than her, but Zhou Yu is thoughtful and analyzes things much better than them, and is much stronger than Guan Feng.
Guan Feng was a little embarrassed, because of her, Zhou Yu rarely came to the house this year, but she didn't expect that if there was something, she couldn't solve it, but she still had to beg her. She was very worried that Zhou Yu would hate her and didn't dare to help, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Daqiao saw it in his eyes, and he was also a little unhappy, but he was dissatisfied with Guan Feng.
"Ah...... Mother, last ...... The southbound essay sent back by my husband last time was ...... There is also a book for Zhou Yu's sister, I ......"
Daqiao looked at Guan Feng, who was expecting Ai Ai, and was stunned for a moment before he understood. Sun Shao will send a southbound essay back every six months or so, there was only one before, of course, she could only stay at home, the first one was in her hands, Guan Feng was still with Sun Shao at that time, and the second book was in Guan Feng's hands, Guan Feng showed it to her, but then she took it back. Last time Zhou Yu came, I once asked if there was any update, Guan Feng said no, in fact, Daqiao knew that there was, she knew that Guan Feng was a little cautious, and she didn't pierce it, she always felt that Guan Feng protected her husband, although it hurt women's morality, but it was also human nature. But I didn't expect Guan Feng to be so excessive, and he actually hid a copy for Zhou Yu, and even hid it from her mother. Now it's time to ask for someone, so let's take it out.
"You ......" Ohashi was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Guan Feng bowed down in front of her aggrievedly, sobbing and choking: "Mother, it's me who is not good, as soon as I see her looking at her husband's eyes, I feel uncomfortable." She read the article written by her husband, and I can see other meanings between the lines, I am ashamed of myself, I very much hope that I can be like her and her husband to deed, but I can't do it, so I ...... So...... It's me...... It is I who is jealous, and I am degrading to women's virtues. β
Daqiao sighed, wanting to scold Guan Feng, but he couldn't bear it. Which woman is willing to share her husband with others, not to mention that Sun Shao still loves Guan Feng so much. People are always greedy and insufficient, and the more they enjoy happiness, the more they are greedy. Guan Feng was born in a martial arts, and she is indeed far from Zhou Yubi in literary affairs, and it is conceivable that she has this mind.
"You can bring it, don't do it next time." Daqiao sank his face: "You must know that Aman will definitely have other women in the future, you are a wife, if you don't have this belly, how can you achieve family harmony in the future?" β
"Whoa." Guan Feng didn't dare to reply, hurried back to the room, brought a brand new southbound companion, and carefully held it in front of the bridge. The bridge took it and flipped it over, and put it aside casually, but Guan Feng reminded again: "Mother, look at the last page." β
"What happened to the last page?" The bridge was a little puzzled, and when I turned to the last page, I saw that it was a painting, but it was not the usual illustration in the book. It depicts a man riding a lean horse, standing on a post bridge, looking back at the setting in the sky, next to an old vine, and a crow with a shrunken neck resting on it. The whole picture is very simple, with a desolate smell. The inscription in the upper left corner looks like a poem, but Ohashi tries to break the sentence a few times, but finds that it is not a poem, and what it is, but he can't tell what it is.
"What is this written about?"
"It's like a song, and I can't tell the difference." Guan Feng blushed and pointed to two of the words: "It's because of these two words, I'm afraid of causing misunderstanding, so I don't dare to give it to Sister Yu." β
Daqiao looked at her finger and found that there was the word "Xiaoqiao" in it, frowned, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh with a "flutter": "Yinping, you have too much heart, what misunderstanding can this cause?" β
Guan Feng blushed embarrassedly: "It's me who is too worried." β
"But it's not your fault. Aman, this kid, although he is already a general, is still a little childish, and he doesn't know how important he is, and he will inevitably misunderstand if he is open-mouthed. But, Yinping, you're his wife, don't you know about him? It's not right for you to have such thoughts. The more Daqiao thought about it, the more funny he felt, Guan Feng was suspicious of Zhou Yu, why was he still suspicious of Xiaoqiao, he was really suspicious.
(To be continued)
