From the south of Zhejiang, there are more islands, dotted with pearls scattered in the sea, which can be seen everywhere, and from time to time there are pirate ships passing by, which has become a necessary scene that can be seen every day. The banner was crude, with an indiscernible symbol drawn on it, but it was so useful that all the pirates who rushed to see it retreated without exception.

Zhang Qian was very satisfied with this unexpected ending, and after arriving at the mouth of the Minjiang River, he came to say goodbye to Sun Shao with great regret.

"Sun Jun, since before, it is the mouth of the Minjiang River, which is the jurisdiction of the Houguan Shipyard, and no pirates dare to go inside to cause trouble. Turn the bend ahead, and officers and soldiers will come to greet you. ”

"What about you?" Sun Shao saw that Zhang was about to speak and stopped, his eyes glanced at the big flag with Su thick legs and swallowed his spittle, and roughly guessed his thoughts. But he obviously can't give this flag to Zhang Qi, and he is ready to keep it for himself.

"From here, I went south to Jiaozhou, where I sold this batch of goods, and then bought some novelty goods back." Zhang Qi pointed to the sea to the south and said, "If Sun Jun is fast enough, maybe we can still meet in Panyu." ”

Sun Shao laughed and asked again, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "The time is not very rushed, and if you want to have a good wind when you turn back, it is estimated that it will take another month or two." Is there something wrong with Sun Jun? ”

"I don't have anything to do, it's just that I'm not very familiar with boats, and I want to ask Zhang Jun to help pick up the boat. And I think Zhang Jun has a few ships that also need to be repaired, so it's better to go to the shipyard together to take advantage of them and let them repair them by the way. After I got the boat, I asked Zhang Jun to lead me to Panyu together, and I asked Zhang Jun for a lot of benefits. ”

When Zhang Qi heard this, he smiled, he couldn't ask for such a proposal. Not only can you go to the shipyard to repair the ship, but also have Sun Shao with you, and the safety is guaranteed. Not to mention that he already had an idea similar to Sun Shaotao, even if he didn't have an idea, he wouldn't refuse when he heard this suggestion.

"That's very good."

Sun Shao smiled.

As Zhang Qi said, not long after the fleet traveled west, it encountered the official ships of Jiangdong. The leading lieutenant is a man with a long face, menacing, eager to arrest Zhang Qian as a pirate, and then confiscate the goods, and then see Sun Shao and the hundred elites standing behind him, the arrogance suddenly became a little shorter, like a great enemy, almost peed his pants, and so on to know that this is Sun Shao, he immediately put on a flattering smile, personally rushed to Sun Shao, and gave his hand again and again: "It turned out to be Captain Sun, fortunately, Li Nong, the captain of the Xiahouguan Shipyard." ”

"You know me, too?" Sun Shao was amused by this kid's magical face-changing technique.

"Yes." Li Nong patted his chest: "The matter of the captain defeating Zhang Liao on a single horse, how many people in Jiangdong don't know now?" Captain Sun, you have greatly boosted the morale of our army. In the past, when we mentioned Zhang Liao, our legs trembled, but now that we have the captain, we don't have to be afraid of him anymore. It's a pity that the captain has such good martial arts skills, but he has to go into business......"

Sun Shao saw that this kid was a little unable to keep his mouth shut, and hurriedly interrupted him: "It's better to ask the captain to lead us into the port." ”

"Oh, look at my memory, as soon as I see the captain, I forget about business." Li Nong patted his head, then turned around, returned to the boat in a high spirit, and loudly ordered his men to turn the bow of the ship and go west. Although Sun Shao couldn't hear what he was talking about, looking at his pointing point, he was probably bragging about something.

"Sun Jun became famous in a fight, congratulations." Zhang Qian stroked his short beard and nodded frequently.

"It's just a little vanity, what is there to be happy about." Sun Shao smiled modestly: "When it comes to business, Zhang Jun is the senior, and he has more guidance from Zhang Jun along the way, and he will have to rely on it more in the future." ”

"Hehehe......" Zhang Qile smiled.

The two gossiped while watching the scenery on both sides of the river, gradually to the west, after passing a narrow water surface about 200 steps wide and about 1,000 steps long, the eyes suddenly opened up, it was a piece of water with a radius of more than ten miles, in the center of the water area was a big city built on a sandbar, the city was waving flags, the soldiers with halberd spears patrolled back and forth, the tall water village extended to the water on both sides, there was a tall water village gate on the river surface on both sides, and several strong crossbows were eyeing each other, Cold-glowing crossbow arrows were pointed at the slowly approaching fleet.

Li Nong stepped forward, first showed his flag, and then said loudly: "It was Captain Sun Shaosun who came to lead the ship, and quickly reported to General Yue." ”

The people on the wall were obviously very familiar with Li Nong, and they laughed and scolded a few words, and a person who looked like a soldier came down and rushed to Sun Shao's ship in a small boat, saluted, checked Sun Shao's official documents, and looked at the long fleet behind him with some doubts: "Captain, these ...... It's all your ship? ”

"It's not my boat, it's my friend's." Sun Shao didn't explain much, his eyes swept away, Zhang Qian immediately understood, stepped forward and arched his hand, and the money was always in the hands of that person. The man flickered, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Please wait here for a while, and I will immediately report to General Yue."

General Zhenhai, the person in charge of the shipyard, arrived soon after, and as soon as he saw Sun Shao, he arched his hand with a smile on his face, and then led Sun Shao into the water village. After passing the water village, I turned a corner, and there was another scene in front of me. If there are already ships everywhere outside, there are simply all boats inside, large and small boats are covered with the entire river, there are tall building ships, there are slender boats, first boarding, there are flat cargo ships, countless craftsmen are busy in it, some are repairing, some are painting, some are dismantling old ships, one after another patrol ships pass by quickly, when they see the fleet of Sun Shao and others, their eyes are a little surprised.

"No merchant ship has ever been able to enter my Houguan shipyard." Yue Hai explained: "Today is also an exception for the captain, in the past, a fleet of this size entered the shipyard, and only when it won a big victory against pirates. ”

"They're not going to use us as trophies, are they?" Sun Shao asked jokingly.

"Hahaha......" Yue Hai pointed to the Su thick leg battle flag on the bow of Sun Shao's boat: "Probably, maybe they really think they have caught Su thick legs, you look at it, someone will definitely come to beg for wine after a while." Captain, you're going to have to break the bank. ”

Sun Shao suddenly realized, he patted his head, and smiled at Shuai Zeng and Zhao Sleeve: "You are really, you don't take off this flag when you get to the shipyard, you are really asking for trouble, and you have to lose General Yue to greet you, otherwise you don't know why you were hit by a crossbow just now." ”

Yue Hai laughed: "The captain said it was funny, I just found an excuse to drink the captain's wine, why should the captain take it seriously." Although Su Thick Leg has a great reputation at sea, he has not yet dared to come to my Houguan Shipyard to make trouble on the island. If you are really a person with Su thick legs, you can only be a prisoner, and you can't be anything else. ”

"General Yue is very arrogant." Sun Shao smiled and praised.

Yue Hai clenched his fists and shook it, quite a little complacent: "Don't dare to say anything else, water warfare, I'm still a little sure, although Su Thick Legs is known as a fierce man, and dozens of ships under his command can be regarded as invincible opponents throughout the East China Sea, but as long as he meets me, he can only flee from the wind." ”

Sun Shao looked at the boastful Yue Hai, and did not refute it, but just praised it at the right time. Yue Hai saw Sun Shao flattering him, although he was a little embarrassed, he was very proud in his heart. He arranged for someone to take Zhang Shao to moor, and he led Sun Shao into the official house, and the guests and hosts fell. Shuai Zeng and Zhao Sleeve carried the new wine that Sun Shao brought with them, Yue Hai looked at it, his nose twitched twice, his eyes suddenly lit up, he rubbed his big hands, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sun Jun, I'm just joking, I feel a little ashamed of you doing this." ”

Sun Shao smiled faintly: "This is not for nothing, I want to exchange these wines for the general's naval warfare." ”

Yue Hai laughed, patted his thigh, and said boldly: "Where did Sun Jun come from, if you want to understand naval warfare, just open your mouth, Yue Hai dare not speak?" Sun Jun said a few years ago that he singled out Zhang Liao, and established his authority in Cao Ying, and the land war can be described as invincible in the world, this sea battle, except for driving a boat, is not much different from the land war, with Sun Jun's force, a little familiarity, it is also, how can there be any secrets. It's me, who took advantage of Sun Jun for nothing. Hahaha......"

Sun Shao also smiled. This Yue Hai seems to be holding back very much here, and his speech is very strong, and he only needs to mention a few words to cause him to gush endlessly. When Yue Hai saw the wine, he became more and more excited, so that people prepared a banquet and called some important officials in the shipyard to accompany Sun Shao to drink. Sun Shao only knew how famous he was now, whether these people were civil or military, when they heard his name, their eyes lit up and they called him "Jiuyang", without exception, they praised him for single-handing Zhang Liao, and felt that Sun Shao was like a great benefactor who avenged them, which shows that the blow to Jiangdong's morale in Hefei is indeed not easy to ignore, and even these people who do not need to go to the battlefield have been affected, not to mention those who want to face Cao Jun.

Sun Shao came with a request, not only to lead the ship, but also to understand the warships and water warfare techniques of this era, so he flattered Yue Hai and others. Yue Hai was originally quite jealous of his identity, but later saw that he didn't have a shelf at all and was very easy to approach, so he let go of the burden in his heart, pushed the cup with Sun Shao, and drank happily until he vomited out the food he had eaten before.

The next day, Yuehai was hangover and couldn't take Sun Shao to see the ship, so he had to accompany Sun Shao in the shipyard by Lieutenant Li Nong. Li Nong was very happy, he took Sun Shao to see the process by process, from the selection of materials to the analysis of wood, to the processing of parts, to the construction of the hull, until the final painting and decoration, he is a person who likes to talk, Sun Shao does not ask him He is spitting, and when he asks, he is eager to tell Sun Shao everything he knows. Sun Shao had also heard a lot of shipbuilding knowledge from Ge Heng, and now he had seen the relevant processes with his own eyes, and the impression was suddenly much clearer, and many of the points that Li Nong was proud of were not so difficult to understand in his opinion.

Li Nong finally led Sun Shao to a water dock, pointed to the two building ships under construction and said: "These two ships are newly built, the materials are the most exquisite, and the decoration is also the most beautiful. When the time comes, the captain will appear at sea in such a boat, and he will flee from the wind no matter what he has. ”

Sun Shao looked at the two four-story boats that were putting the finishing touches, shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank you General Yue for your kindness, such a beautiful ship should be dedicated to the Supreme, where do I dare to sit." All I want is two two-deck ships. ”

Li Nong glanced at Sun Shao suspiciously, not knowing whether what Sun Shao said was true or false. Sun Quan's order only said that there were two warships, and did not specify what warships, and gave Sun Shao two four-story building ships, which not only had the credit for yesterday's drink, but also had a lot to do with Sun Shao's approachability and lack of arrogance. Generally speaking, since Yue Hai took the initiative to give him a boat over the specifications, he should laugh at it, and this kind of excuse is generally polite. Li Nong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Captain hero, only such a building ship is worthy of being a captain." ”

"But I'm afraid it's going to flip." Sun Shao said with a smile.

"Uh-" Li Nong was speechless, he looked at Sun Shao with some embarrassment, thought for a moment, and stammered: "Sun Jun's worries are not unreasonable, although the building ship is mighty, but it is indeed afraid of the wind, once the wind and waves are a little stronger, you can only enter the port to avoid it for a while." For Sun Jun, it is indeed a little inconvenient. ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Shao arched his hand: "What the captain said is very true." It's a two-story building ship, and I also have to ask the general to help me make a slight modification. ”

"Transformation?" Li Nong's broom raised his eyebrows, "How to transform?" ”

"Help me add something to the boat." Sun Shao patted Li Nong's shoulder and said mysteriously: "I want to have a face-to-face interview with the general, I wonder when the general will be free?" ”

Li Nong saw that he was cautious, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he took Sun Shao to see Yuehai at the moment. Yue Hai had just gotten up, rubbing his temples, and when he saw Li Nong leading Sun Shao in, he smiled and said, "Sun Jun, are you satisfied with those two ships?" ”

Li Nong stepped forward and said two words in his ear, Yue Haiyi frowned, and stood up: "What is Sun Jun's magic method to solve the problem that the building ship is easy to tilt?" ”

"Try it." Sun Shao smiled incomprehensibly.

"You go find a few technicians." Yue Hai didn't say a word, waved his hand, Li Nong strode out, and after a short time, several shipbuilding technicians all rushed over. When Sun Shao said that he wanted to place iron counterweights at the bottom of the boat, the technicians were silent, and looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and joy.

"This ......," said one of the oldest technicians, stroking his beard, "it is not difficult to install iron blocks, but it is really necessary to consider where to install them, how much to load, and how to distribute them, otherwise, it will have a great impact on the hull of the entire ship." ”

"It makes sense." Sun Shao appreciatively raised a thumbs up: "An expert is an expert, and he can see the problem at once." ”

"Don't dare, I also heard a little friend mention it." The old technician smiled ashamedly: "If the captain allows, I am willing to invite him over to meet the captain." Speaking of which, my little friend is a genius in shipbuilding, although the old man has worked shipbuilding for more than 30 years, but compared with him, he is still ashamed of himself. ”

"I still have such a genius in this shipyard?" Yue Hai was also a little surprised.

"Lord Hui, he's not from the shipyard." The old technician bowed and saluted: "He is not in the shipyard now, he lives in Dongzhi City, if the general allows it, I am willing to send someone to invite him now." If Captain Sun's request were to be done by him, he would definitely be able to do it very appropriately. ”

Yue Hai glanced at Sun Shao with an inquiring gaze, but Sun Shao was a little hesitant, this is the official shipyard in Jiangdong, and there is no problem for them to know this secret, but if it is leaked to outsiders, then this technical secret may not be able to be kept. He looked at the old technician with some hesitation: "Dare to ask the old man, who is this little friend of yours?" ”

Although the old technician is not as sensitive to technical secrecy as Sun Shao, he has worked in the shipyard all his life, of course he knows what Sun Shao is worried about, he stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "My little friend's surname is Ge Mingheng, he is a native of Wu County, and he is among the eight uniques. ”

Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, he was sending someone to find Ge Heng, but he didn't expect Ge Heng to be in Houguan. He stroked his forehead and laughed: "It turned out to be Ge Sizhen, but he is also my best friend, I was looking for him everywhere, but I didn't expect him to be in Dongzhi." ”

When Yue Hai heard this, he couldn't help laughing, since Sun Shao was at ease with him, of course he didn't have any opinions, so he sent someone to Dongzhi City to find Ge Heng at the moment. The Houguan Shipyard is not too far from Dongzhi City, and that night, Ge Heng rushed to the shipyard, and with him came a handsome young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.

"Sun Jun." As soon as Ge Heng saw Sun Shao, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and saluted.

"Sizhen, you're in good spirits." Sun Shao squeezed his eyes and motioned for Ge Heng to say something in private, Ge Heng understood, "Along the way, my eyes have been opened, and my natural spirit is a hundred times." Sun Jun, let me introduce you to a young handsome man, this is Dong Jun, who is obsessive, has different characters, has few good medical skills, and is good at guiding health preservation techniques, and has a lot of fate with my uncle. ”

Before Sun Shao could speak, Yue Hai was taken aback, stepped forward, looked at Dong Feng carefully, and said happily: "It turns out that the famous Doctor Dong is so young, it really makes Yue Hai unimaginable. ”

Sun Shao is a little inexplicable, if he wants to talk about the miracle doctor of the Three Kingdoms, he knows that there is Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, when will there be another Dong Feng? And seeing that he is so young, how good can his medical skills be? But although Yue Hai is rude, he is by no means the kind of person who is humble and civilized, this person is still a little arrogant in his bones, if Dong Feng has no real skills, he will not be so polite. Besides, the person Ge Heng specially brought to introduce him should not be a person who sells dog skin plasters. He looked at Dong Feng, who was smiling and saluting Yue Hai, and secretly made up his mind.

Dong Feng, who was talking to Yue Hai, had a palpitation for no reason, he subconsciously glanced around, just saw Sun Shao's greed hidden in his smile, he was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at it again, he only saw Sun Shao's warm eyes like a spring breeze. He couldn't believe it, he looked at Sun Shao's gaze for a moment, and still felt that he might be a little allergic to standing in the barracks, how could there be a person in the world who changed his face so quickly, besides, he was not a big beauty, could it be that this young nobleman likes male style?

Thinking of this, Dong Feng got goosebumps all over his body.
