"Zhang Jun, I'm really sorry, you see that it has dragged on for so long, I won't be able to leave for a while, and I'm really ashamed to delay your shipping schedule." Sun Shao said apologetically to Zhang Qi: "Look, if you are really in a hurry, you will take the first step?" ”

Zhang Qi laughed: "It's okay, it's okay." I know that the general is now entangled in official business, and he will definitely not be able to leave, besides, my wife is pregnant, and she can't go far, so she should recuperate. The general will live in Panyu for a while, and wait for the next time he comes, and then talk to the general. ”

"Hahaha, then I'll be waiting for you." Sun Shao held Zhang Qi's arm, sent him out of the gate, and said goodbye.

Shi Wei, who was watching the guard of honor at the gate of the Taishou Mansion, looked at Sun Shao, and it happened that Sun Shao also looked at this big man with an arrogant expression, and the two looked at each other, and opened their mouths almost at the same time: "Dare to ask......"

The two were stunned at the same time, and then laughed again, Sun Shao laughed loudly, but Shiwei just grinned and then raised his head reservedly, hugged his fists and said: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it Lord Sun Shao, the general of Henghai and the Taishou of Lingnanhai?" ”

Sun Shao hurriedly returned the salute: "It's here, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

"This is Dinghai Zhonglang General Weishi." Wu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to introduce, and then said, "Changsha Wu Yan, meet the general." ”

"Changsha people? Can you know that Cangwu is too guarded by Changsha Wu Jun? ”

Wu Yan's face darkened: "It's my father." ”

Sun Shao let out an "oh" and said apologetically: "It turned out to be a descendant of Wu Jun, it's really a blessing." "He hasn't been idle in the past few days, not only has he turned around Yishi, but he has also investigated Shiwei, and knows that this Wu Yan is Wu Ju's son, and Wu Ju was cut off by Bu Qi. After reading for a few days, it is said that he came out of Yingchuan Academy, and after Wu Ju was killed, he entered Shiwei Mansion, and with Shiwei covering, Bu Qi really didn't dare to do anything to him.

Sun Shao looked at the entourage behind Shi Wei who were carrying burdens, and said with some puzzlement: "General Shi came today to ...... it."

Shi Wei pursed his lips secretly, feeling a little angry in his heart, and said in his heart This kid looks smart, why does his brain turn so slowly? I brought Eli Lilly, of course, to see you, and you still thought I was doing business, and you didn't know to invite me in for tea.

"I'm here today to visit the general." Shi Wei barely squeezed out a smile: "Wei is a general in Dinghai, and he is a colleague of the general, and when he heard that the general was in office, he came to visit the general." ”

"Oh-" Sun Shao suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said: "I really forgot, I'm still a Henghai general." Alas, don't mention it, General Shi, that's just for show, don't take it seriously. Please, please. Hey, you people who don't have the eyes to see things, the general is here, why don't you know how to make a report, and it is really rude to let the general wait outside the door. General Shi, I'm really sorry, these people have just arrived in the treasure land, and they don't understand the rules, so please Haihan. ”

Shiwei smiled fakely, said a few polite words, and walked a few steps side by side with Sun Shao, and suddenly felt a little strange. He frowned, only to realize that Sun Shao was an inch or two taller than him. Usually he is used to walking with people who are shorter than him, and he is used to a condescending perspective, but now he has to tilt his head and talk to Sun Shao, not to mention how awkward. He hurriedly dragged down half a step and fell behind Sun Shao, but then he found that this was even worse, feeling like a little follower, and hurriedly caught up with a few steps.

Sun Shao saw Shiwei's crampedness in his eyes, but he didn't break it, pulled Shiwei's arm, talked and laughed into the main hall, sat down the guest and host, served tea, and said a few words, Shiwei put down the teacup and arched his hand: "I heard that the general was in office, and I should have come to visit immediately, but the general was too guarded and busy with official business, so I didn't dare to disturb him, so I didn't come to see him until today, and I asked the general to forgive me." ”

Sun Shao smiled faintly: "General Shi, I'm a person, I don't like fake politeness." You may not know very well, when I was a captain under the Supreme Account, I didn't have a single soldier under my command, I was just a bare-bones captain. Now that he has arrived in the South China Sea, he has become this general of the Henghai Sea, and it is said that he has five boats and 300 people, but in fact, he is still a bare-bones general. You look up to me, treat me as a friend, often come and go, I welcome it, as for any colleagues, hehehe, don't mention it, it's embarrassing. ”

Shi Wei saw that Sun Shao's face was a little lost, and he couldn't help but feel a little complacent. Even if you know each other, you also know that you, General Henghai, are an ornament, and you didn't put a score in front of Lao Tzu, otherwise you will look good. He waved his hand and made a sympathetic look: "I also know a little about the general's situation. It's just that since the general has received this seal and received the country's salary, he can't help but serve the country. 300 people are small, but they are also a force. Now that piracy is rampant, the general can't afford to slack off. ”

"Pirates?" Sun Shao looked dazed: "Are there pirates in Jiaozhou?" ”

Shiwei was stunned by what he said, and subconsciously said: "Of course there are pirates, and there are quite a few." ”

"How many?"

"That's not clear. There are not thousands of islands in this area of Jiaozhou, but also hundreds, and most of these islands have pirates, more than thousands of people, and as few as dozens. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the biggest pirate on Zhuya Island urged him to sign a fate, and he had more than 200 ships, four or five thousand men and horses, and countless merchants who were poisoned by him. ”

"More than two hundred boats? Four or five thousand people? Sun Shao gasped and looked frightened. When Shi Wei saw it, he felt a little more disdainful in his heart, and he was about to say more, when Sun Shao asked again: "How many boats and how many people are there in the Jiaozhou Naval Division?" ”

"There are more than 500 boats and more than 15,000 people in total." Shiwei proudly gave a thumbs up: "I alone have three hundred and twenty-five ships and eight thousand three hundred and fifty-one soldiers. ”

Wu Yan's face suddenly turned gray.

Sun Shao looked at Shiwei with idiotic eyes, and when he felt that something was wrong, he smiled faintly: "The general alone is much higher than the strength of that urging sign, why can he be so arrogant?" It's puzzling. When I was in Jianye, some people said that the strength of the Jiaozhou Sailor was even worse than that of the Qingxu Sailor, but now it seems that what he said is true. ”

Shiwei's face suddenly turned into pork liver.

Wu Yan coughed and explained: "The general doesn't know anything, although the number of people who urge the sign is not as good as the Jiaozhou Navy, but he comes and goes without a trace, if it is good, if it is unfavorable, it will go, the sea is vast, and we are also powerless." Besides, although there are a lot of people in the Jiaozhou Naval Division, they have to guard many ports, not in one place, every time they fight, in fact, the troops are not as good as the pirates, if it is not for the general to be good at fighting, the pirates don't know how arrogant they are. Otherwise, how could the merchants who came and went treat my generals and benefactors the same. ”

"Is that so?" Sun Shaoqiang couldn't help but smile, looking embarrassed: "It's that I haven't seen it." ”

Shi Wei snorted angrily, his cheeks twitched twice, he was blowing proudly just now, and he was suddenly stabbed by Sun Shao, and he felt uncomfortable. What annoyed him even more was that he felt that he had underestimated the enemy, and he inadvertently made a fool of himself in front of Sun Shao, which made him feel angry, and the evil fire in his heart was about to bubble out uncontrollably.

"The general doesn't have to care, you haven't fought a war, of course you don't know that you can't just look at the numbers to compare the war, and when the general fights a few battles, you will know the trick here." Shiwei said in a strange manner: "I'm waiting to see the general's heroic appearance." ”

"Heroic?" Sun Shao chuckled, shook his head and said, "Forget it, the general has more than 300 ships, and more than 8,000 people can't hold the pirates, and my little man is not worth taking out to be embarrassed." ”

"Does the general really want to be an empty general?" Shiwei couldn't wait to see Sun Shao make a fool of himself, and put pressure on Sun Shao again: "As a prince, if the general doesn't contribute to the country, the soldiers will be cold." ”

"Is it that serious?" Sun Shao looked at Shi Wei in surprise, as if he was frightened by this big hat. Shi Wei nodded again and again, and motioned to Wu Yan to say a few more words, Wu Yan had no choice but to say another set of big and empty nonsense, anyway, there is only one purpose, you should go to the barracks as soon as possible, participate in the war, and serve the country.

Sun Shao seemed to be moved by what he said, and got up and said, "That...... I'm just going to check it out? ”

"Look, look." Shiwei also stood up and politely guided in front. Sun Shao did not shirk, let Zhao Sleeve and others accompany him, and went out of Panyu City together and rushed to the Shuishi camp.

Shiwei just wanted to lure Sun Shao to the camp, it was best to ask him to go to sea to fight two battles with pirates, and then be beaten by pirates to death, it was best to drink a few more mouthfuls of seawater, and his heart was relieved, so he was very enthusiastic along the way, and he spat to Sun Shao to introduce the warships and flags he saw along the way, of course, the Jiaozhou sailors stationed in Panyu Port are his Shiwei's fleet, which is the safest port in the entire Jiaozhou, and it is also the most fertile port in oil and water.

Sun Shao was probably the first to enter the non-Shijia forces in Panyu Shuizhai, and it was Shiwei who took the initiative to invite him in, so when the officers who were suddenly summoned looked at Shiwei's enthusiastic welcome speech, they couldn't believe that what they saw was true, until Shiwei told them that the Henghai general only had five boats and three hundred people under his command, and they suddenly realized.

Dare to love this is a monkey that Lord Shi brought to show everyone.

So everyone looked at each other, and they all laughed understandingly, and there was no doubt that they were about to go to sea, not to fight pirates, but to see some people being beaten by pirates.

After meeting the generals, Shi Wei led Sun Shao to see the ship arranged for him. Sun Shao looked at it and almost laughed out loud, five broken ships, said that small is not small, it is a standard warship, four Mengchong, a slightly larger fighting ship should be his flagship, compared with other warships in the dock, these five ships are not like warships, like self-employed people selling vegetables. If you compare it with the ten boats he brought, it is not even as good as a self-employed person who sells vegetables, and he is simply a beggar. The three hundred soldiers standing on the ship tried to stand up straight, but their thin bodies made them look not like warriors, like slaves who had just been sold.

"This is my man and the ship?" Sun Shao's face became very ugly.

"Exactly." It took Shi Wei a lot of effort before he swallowed the laughter back into his stomach: "As soon as Lord Thorn Shi gives the order, I will arrange it, and I will wait for the general to receive it." ”

"Holy." Sun Shao laughed, but the laughter was more ugly than crying, he flicked his sleeves, turned his head and left. Shi Wei hurriedly followed: "General, general, where are you going?" ”

"I'll go find Lord Thorn Shi and throw him this seal of General Yokohai." Sun Shao got on the horse without looking back, and walked away.

Shi Wei glanced back at his laughing subordinates, couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud. Wu Yan laughed for a while and said, "General, if he doesn't become this Henghai general, Lord Assassin Shi will definitely retreat in the face of difficulties, so he has to send this Henghai General Seal to the general's hands." ”

Shiwei snorted confidently: "It should be like this." ”

Sun Shao rushed into the Assassin's Mansion, rushed to the main hall of the office, and without saying a word, he tore off the two seals in his waist and threw them on the case, then turned around and left, saying as he walked: "Master Bu, I've had enough, these two seals will be returned to you, and you can give them to whoever you like." ”

Bu Qiu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't have time to get up, so he hurriedly shouted: "Feng Xian, stay here, stay here." ”

Sun Shao stopped, turned his head to look at Bu Qi who was hurrying over, and crooked his mouth: "Why, Master Bu still thinks that I am not ashamed enough, and I must kill them all?" You must know that the clay people also have three local surnames, you don't want to be temperless when I am. ”

No matter how much Buqi has a city government, he has never seen Sun Shao poke so directly and poke at a master who does not save face at all, he hurriedly grabbed Sun Shao's arm, and while dragging him back, he smiled and said: "Fengxian, why are you so angry?" Tell me about it first, and then it's not too late to make a decision. ”

"My five boats, do you mean it, or does the Supreme mean it?" Sun Shao asked.

Bu Qiu probably understood what he meant, he smiled and muttered: "What, the boat is not good?" ”

"Well, it's not just good, it's so good, I can take those five boats to the river and pick up some garbage, and no one will suspect me of being a fake. If you want me to pull these five ships to fight pirates, I guess the pirates are not interested in fighting me, and my safety is absolutely guaranteed. ”

"Is it that serious?" Bu Qi's face sank: "Shiwei actually dares to bully you like this?" ”

"He's not bullying me, you're bullying me." Sun Shao pursed his lips and slapped his hand the case, which startled Buqi and made him very unhappy. Sun Shao didn't look at him, and said to himself: "I came to Jiaozhou to do business, and I didn't want to be an official at all. But looking at it now, it's not a good idea at all, it's just a fucking pit, a pit that wants to bury me into. I don't understand, who did I offend to push me to death? ”

Buqi was a little difficult to answer. He can't say that Sun Quan wants to push you to death, but if he doesn't say Sun Quan, can he admit it? He can't afford to be convicted of this crime. Sun Shaozhen is going to die in Jiaozhou, and he can't escape responsibility, of course, if he dies on the sea fighting pirates, then things will be much easier.

"Bongxian, you're thinking too much." Bu Qi opened his mouth carefully: "I arranged this matter, but I didn't do it to harm you, but because I had a hard time." I hope you can calm down and listen to my explanation, and after listening, you can decide whether to leave or stay, and I will never stop you. ”

"I'd like to hear what kind of trouble you have to play with me like this." Sun Shao swept the official document on the case with a flick of his hand, and slapped the horsewhip on the case with a snap, that ruffian look was a little unbearable no matter how deep the Buqi City Mansion was, if he didn't want to use him to fight Shiwei, he really wanted to drive him out now. Looking back, in his life, except for eating this deflated in Jiaojiao's mansion, no one dared to be so rude to him.

"You went to Shuizhai to see it, and you know how strong Shiwei's strength is, you should be able to understand how wronged I am in Jiaozhou, right?" Bu Qi smiled bitterly and sighed: "You are new to the school, and you don't know how deep the foundation of the Shi family is. The Shixie brothers have been operating in Jiaozhou for more than 20 years, and their power is beyond the imagination of those people in Jianye. I came to Jiaozhou in the fifteenth year of Jian'an, and except for the time when I killed Wu Ju, which was relatively smooth, nothing else could achieve the expected goal. Shiwei wants to be too guarded in this South China Sea, not for a day or two. Can I give it to him? I gave it to him, and there will be no place for me to stand in Jiaozhou, and the supreme stable Jiaozhou, and the goal of competing with Cao Ying and Liu Bei will be completely defeated, Jiangdong, how can I save it? ”

Sun Shao was furious and stared at Bu Qi without saying a word.

"Of the thirteen states in the world, Liu Bei occupies Yizhou, Jiangdong occupies Yangzhou, and Jingzhou each occupies a part, and the Central Plains are all in Cao Ying's hands. Yizhou has a favorable geographical position, insufficient attack, more than enough self-defense, and according to the upper reaches of the river, it maintains a threat to Jiangdong at any time. What does Koto have? There is Liu Bei in the west, Cao Ying in the north, and Shanyue in the heart, the conquest has been continuous in recent years, and the food and salary are unsustainable, if it were not for the influx of many displaced people into Jiangdong and opened up a lot of wasteland, I am afraid that Jiangdong would have been dragged down long ago. Now that it is controlled on three sides, only Jiaozhou can develop, and Jiaozhou is only nominally governed by the supreme ruler, and the real master is still the Shi family. I'm really ashamed, I'm ashamed of my trust in the Supreme, I've been the assassin of Jiaozhou for eight years, and there has been no progress. ”

Sun Shao looked at Bu Qi, who was in a heavy mood, and sneered secretly. What Bu Qi said may be true, but he uses himself as a knife man, I'm afraid this is a bit wishful thinking, if it weren't for Guan Feng's pregnancy, his business plan could not be implemented for the time being, and he wouldn't be interested in accompanying Bu Qi to talk nonsense here. It's done, Jiaozhou belongs to Sun Quan, it's messed up, the responsibility is mine, you are stupid to me. It's not impossible for you to use me as a swordman, but if you want me to do it for nothing, there is no door.

"Fengxian, we are all courtiers, you are still a prince, the son of a rebellious general, you have the blood of the Sun family in your body, how can you not contribute to the foundation of the Sun family? If you want to say danger, where is there no danger? If you retreat because you are in danger, how can the other courtiers do their best? Fengxian, when your father was your age, he was already across the Jiangdong. You ask yourself, if the spirit of the rebel general in heaven knew that you had done this, would he rest in peace? ”

Sun Shao said in his heart, if Sun Ce really wants to have the spirit in the sky, I am afraid that he should have reached the spirit of his true son in the sky, and he should also know how Sun Quan treats his son, and he will definitely not be able to rest in peace. He slowed down his breath and hesitated: "It's not impossible for you to ask me to fight Shiwei, but using these ships to fight him is no different from sending him to death, he doesn't even need to move his fingers, and as soon as he sends me in front of the pirates, I will die." ”

Bu Qi saw that he was relieved, and he was also relieved, and hurriedly said, "How can you be sent to death." Just giving you so many ships at once will inevitably arouse Shiwei's suspicions, and you may not be able to master it, in case of any setbacks, wouldn't you be laughed at by others? I only give you five boats, I want you to get used to it first, and then slowly expand your strength after you have a foundation for water warfare and have made some contributions, so that others will also be convinced. ”

Sun Shao was annoyed again, "Even if you are right, you can't give me those five broken boats, then it's too bad to go fishing." ”

"That'...... I'll give you five boats? Bu Qi said tentatively.

"You can give me ten more boats, and they will be bigger." Sun Shao stared at Bu Qi's eyes, looking like he wouldn't do it if you didn't agree. Bu Qi hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, how about giving you ten more medium warships, seven hundred soldiers, and a thousand people?" ”

"That's pretty much it." Sun Shao reluctantly agreed, and made another request: "I want to repair the ship, you hand over the Panyu shipyard to me." ”

Bu Qiu hesitated, Panyu Shipyard is second only to Yuzhang Shipyard in the scale of several large shipyards in Jiangdong, not only responsible for the replenishment of the warships of the Jiaozhou Naval Division, but also the production of commercial ships, is one of the important sources of income in Jiaozhou, so although the Panyu Shipyard is in Nanhai County, it is not under the control of the South China Sea, but directly under the management of the Jiaozhou Thorn History Department. Sun Shao wants a shipyard, this is not a matter of one boat and two boats.

Seeing that Bu Qi didn't speak, Sun Shao was a little impatient: "Don't worry, I only repair the boat, ensure how many ships go in and how many ships come out, and I definitely don't want you to have a boat." Besides, even if I have a ship, what use am I if you don't give me people? ”

Seeing Sun Shao say this, Bu Qiu was finally relieved, he nodded and smiled: "Okay, I will temporarily transfer the control of Panyu Shipyard to you." He reached out to the case to get the pen and paper, but he felt empty, and then remembered that all the pen and ink on the case were swept to the ground by Sun Shao, looking at the messy ground, Bu Qi smiled bitterly: "Fengxian, you are also an adult, this temper should also be changed, don't always treat yourself as a child." ”

Sun Shao was dismissive.

Bu Qi asked people to get a pen and paper again, wrote a warrant and handed it to Sun Shao: "You take this to the shipyard and hand it over to the shipmaster, he will cooperate with you." Workers, materials, he will deliver them to you, you are now the fake ship order of Panyu Shipyard. ”

Sun Shao sneered: "Don't worry, I will return this ship order to you after I finish repairing the ship." I'll tell you that if it weren't for the fact that my wife is inconvenient to move now, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you. How much money did you make less by doing this. After speaking, without waiting for Bu Qi to answer, he got up and left, went out of the door, and took his personal guards away.

Bu Qi looked at the official document on the ground, the corners of his eyes jumped, and his face was suddenly so gloomy that he could drip water.

(To be continued)
