Chapter Twenty-Four: Maid's Outfit

Zhou Yin got angry and left regardless of it. Zhou Xun was at a loss, and finally decided to test Sun Quan's reaction first, he told Sun Quan that Zhou Yu was sick and vomited blood, and might not be suitable for marrying the prince, and asked to postpone the marriage or simply cancel the marriage. To their surprise, Sun Quan sent a doctor to treat Zhou Yu, but only agreed to postpone the marriage, but did not agree to cancel the marriage.

Zhou Xun didn't understand what Sun Quan was doing, since he suspected that they were just nervous, Zhou Yu was sick and confused, forgot where the book was, and mistakenly thought that Sun Quan had sent secret soldiers, in fact, Sun Quan didn't know that there was such a thing, because according to their thoughts, if Sun Quan knew that there was such a thing, even if he took the initiative to cancel the marriage contract because of his bad face, he would not insist on marrying Zhou Yu, after all, Sun Deng is the prince, how can he take a woman who has cheated psychologically? Now that they have offered to dissolve the marriage contract, Sun Quan should follow the trend. After thinking about it, he felt that he was still weak and worried.

In the psychology of suffering from gains and losses, Zhou Xun waited anxiously for the final result.

…… General Fu Yue and Zhu Yawei He Da, accompanied by two fierce guards, strode onto Sun Shao's boat. Zhong Sima Xu Zuo smiled, stood on the side with his hands arched, and bowed as soon as he saw He Da: "By the order of the king, welcome Lord He." ”

He Da didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute: "There is labor." Dare to ask if the king is available? ”

"The king is waiting in the cabin." Xu Zuo respectfully led the way: "Please come with me, general." ”

He Da waved his hand, motioned for the two personal guards to stand outside the cabin, adjusted his armor, straightened the long knife at his waist, and followed Xu Zuo into the cabin. As soon as he entered the cabin, he was startled, the cabin was full of people, and all eyes fell on his face, some kind, some disdainful, envious, jealous, and hateful, everything.

He Da shook his head for a moment, and then he saw Sun Shao, the king of Yue sitting sideways in front of the case, and hurriedly rushed forward, pushed the golden mountain, poured the jade pillar, and bowed to the ground: "General Fuyue leads Zhu Yawei, and Chenda visits the king, may my king live long live long live." ”

"Hahaha...... My Captain Zhu Ya is here. Sun Shao got up, bypassed the bookcase, leaned over to help He Da, glanced at him, and gently punched him: "How is it, the battle is happy, right?" ”

"Happy." He Da smiled, his eyes filled with irrepressible joy. He went to Zhuya for two years, and cooperated with Shen Xuan, the current big farmer, and Wei Jing, the great farmer, to suppress and appease at the same time, and with the strong economic strength as the backing, he pacified most of the Yi people in Zhuya in just two years. Now Zhu Ya is rough, no more bold Yi people dare to go to the vigorous development of the county to make trouble, He Da has a lot of credit, Sun Shao ordered him to be named the general of Fuyue, leading Zhu Yawei, is the highest military commander on Zhuya Island. Although there is no food eup, the annual allowance he enjoys is only much more than the income of his father in the four counties of Heqi.

There is no way, although Zhuya does not have much land, and the grain still depends on external purchases, but Zhuya's business is developed, and there are countless businessmen who come and go every day, which can be described as a rolling source of money. The father and son of the He family are very extravagant and pay attention to the taste of life, but luxury is money, in the past, He Da and his brother He Jing ate Lao Tzu He Qi, and they have been shrouded by the light of He Qi. After arriving under Sun Shao, Sun Shao handed over Zhu Ya's defense to him, at first he was not happy, but later found out that Zhu Ya was really rich, under the rectification of Shen Xuan and Wei Jing, in just a few years, Zhu Ya became the first big city in the South China Sea, more and more Yi merchants changed to anchor by Zhu Ya, a large amount of wealth also made it difficult for Yi people to resist the temptation, they continued to encroach on the maritime merchants and county governance, which just gave Heda a place to use. With the continuous accumulation of military exploits, He Da changed from a lieutenant to a general of Fuyue in two years, and with the delivery of various rare goods to Huiji, his status in the He family has also changed from a supporting role to a protagonist that cannot be ignored.

All this was given by Sun Shao, He Dazhi endeavoured, this time Sun Shao called him to participate in the war, he didn't say a word, and rushed to the East China Sea with his most elite 2,000 foot soldiers to meet Sun Shao.

"Summoning you this time, of course, depends on the jungle elite under your command, but the most important task is not this, it is for you to brainwash these people and let them know what jungle warfare is." Sun Shao pointed at Cui Qian, Yue Hai and the others, and said with a smile: "These people are invincible at sea, they can't help but be a little arrogant, you tell them the difference between this jungle war and naval battle, lest they be caught by the savages of Yizhou." ”

Heda then knew why those people's visions were complicated. Yes, he is just a miscellaneous general, that is, he is majestic on Zhuya Island, and Cui Qian and others are ranked as the four generals, and they are the real pillars of the Yue Kingdom. But Heda is also an arrogant person, since Sun Shao gave him such an opportunity to make a name for himself, of course he would not let it go easily.

"Dare to disobey." Heda bowed.

"It's better to pick and say, it's still early for lunch, let's listen to Bo Zhi first." Sun Shao motioned to Shi Bao to open the curtain on the sand table in the middle of the cabin, revealing the topographic map of Zhuya Island, and the generals surrounded him, listening to He Da with different expressions.

He Da took the arrow bamboo handed by Deng Ai's hands and sighed with emotion: "I haven't seen the arrow bamboo in my hometown for two years, and I really feel a little homesick when I look at it." ”

"Hahaha...... Chen Hai laughed, "When you finish the lecture, please ask the king to take a few days off and go home." ”

He Da glanced at Chen Hai, smiled slightly, did not answer, walked to the sand table, his eyes swept on the sand table, and then pointed to the place where Zhuya County was governed, and the slender arrow bamboo drew a circle above: "The west of the county faces the sea, the north is the hills, and the southeast two directions are mountains and forests. Mountain and jungle warfare is different from chariot warfare, cavalry warfare, and water warfare, and all of you are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, so you must be no stranger to this. Sun Tzu's Art of War marches have mentioned the basic rules of mountain marching, camping, and warfare, and the leopard Tao in Taigong Liutao has a special chapter dedicated to mountain and jungle warfare......"

Heda is worthy of being a family scholar, not only does he fight well, but also has good knowledge, Cui Qian was a little disdainful at the beginning, but when he heard him talk about Sun Tzu's Art of War and Taigong's Art of War, he was a little convinced. He had also read these books cursoly, but he really didn't notice the content of the battle with the mountains and jungles, and he was a habitual bandit who had been entrenched in Zhuya for more than ten years.

With Heda's narration, the generals who were originally a little dissatisfied with Sun Shao's decision calmed down, admiring Heda's ability in jungle warfare on the one hand, and glad that Sun Shao had arranged for Heda to give them literacy in advance. This time they went to Yizhou, they thought that they would be able to capture it as before, and they didn't pay enough attention to what mountain battlefields and jungle battles were, and they always felt that although there were differences, as long as they took time to adapt, there were not too many difficulties. Now listening to Heda say this, they know the danger of jungle warfare, not only the special terrain, but also all kinds of poisonous insects and diseases, maybe a mosquito can kill you. Heda fought with the Yi people for the first time, and more than 1,000 elite soldiers from the mountains entered the forest of Zhuya, and before the fight began, they were killed by poisonous snakes and leeches and more than 300 people, plus dysentery and typhoid fever. Although Heda is very easy to say now, all of you here are experienced in the battlefield, and they know that if this situation is not handled properly, it is likely that they will be defeated before a battle, and then they will be chased and killed by the Yi people, and the possibility of the entire army being wiped out is very great.

The purpose of fighting is to make meritorious contributions, and no one wants to die in battle inexplicably, so the generals put away their contempt, pricked up their ears, and strived to engrave every word of Heda in their minds. As Sun Shao listened, he paid attention to the expressions of the generals and was very satisfied with the change in their attitudes. When he first made this suggestion, almost everyone didn't think so, especially Cui Qian, in his words, I have been in Zhuya for more than ten years, and I don't know how many battles I have fought with the Yiren, although I haven't won a big victory, but I haven't been defeated, and I want him to come and teach me a lesson? Although Chen Hai didn't say anything, his surname Sun Shao also knew that he was not a person who was willing to bow to others, and he regarded himself as a patriarch and asked him to bow to a newcomer later, which was somewhat unwilling.

But Sun Shao has some shadows on jungle warfare.

In his memory, this jungle in the south was once a nightmare for countless soldiers, the little Vietnamese devil, first fought a war with the world boss US imperialism, and then fought a war with China, which was also in the [***] camp, although China won the war and swept until Hanoi returned to the division, but the losses were also amazing. Further closer, 400 years ago, Qin Shi Huang's 500,000-strong army conquered South Vietnam, and the losses were extremely heavy. The special surname of jungle warfare is unfamiliar to the Central Plains people who are accustomed to foot riding, even Heda, who has been fighting Shanyue for many years, can't be captured, let alone just an Aurora sailor who is sure of water warfare?

Sun Shao was not accustomed to fighting such unprepared battles, and for the first time he rejected everyone's suggestion, and forcibly ordered officers above the rank of lieutenant to come and listen to He Da explain his combat experience in Zhuya, and first instill the basic concept of jungle warfare in these proud soldiers.

This decision was wise, and Heda grasped this spirit very well, and first put a few of the most daunting problems in jungle warfare in front of everyone, let them know that jungle warfare is not so easy to fight, and let them know that the most dangerous people in the jungle are not only Yiren.

The first class was a success, and it was not until noon that the clock on the big ship struck that the generals felt a little hungry.

"Okay, this time there will be more than ten days at sea, and when you ask for advice slowly, let's eat first." Sun Shao clapped his hands in satisfaction and took the lead to walk down the gangway and enter the spacious dining room. Heda, who was proud of the spring breeze, followed closely behind, took a look at the restaurant, and was stupid.

What surprised him was not the long dining table, not the dazzling array of cutlery and food on the table, but the orderly and busy maids. The maids were all dressed in black uniforms, snow-white aprons, and boat-shaped hats on their heads, and one by one their long hair was coiled up and tucked into the hats, revealing their slender white necks. The style of their uniforms is very strange, not only different from the usual slave and maid clothing, but also different from the graceful and generous nobles' clothing, the sleeves are narrow, revealing half of the forearms, the skirt is short, only covering below the knee, the simple style, the close-fitting cut, showing their bodies convex and concave, but there is nothing to show except for the face and hands.

"This ......," Heda was dumbfounded.

"You don't understand that, do you?" Chen Hai squeezed to Heda's side and smiled: "This is the costume designed by the king himself, how about it, isn't it very attractive?" ”

"Resistant to ...... See. Heda's eyes were fixed on the maids, and it took a moment before he came back to his senses and smiled in disguise.

"It's okay, just look at it and get used to it." Chen Hai smiled evilly: "It's really fresher, you'll know when you get hurt." ”

"Why wait until you're injured to find out?" Heda didn't know why.

"Because...... The most beautiful and feminine are seen only by the wounded who have been heroically wounded. Chen Hai and several generals and lieutenants next to him squeezed their eyes and smiled heartily.

"Ignore them, these people are very vulgar, and they only go down three ways." Sun Shao beckoned He Da to sit next to him, where did He Da dare to sit, there was not only one bigger official than him, how could he dare to sit next to Sun Shao.

"From now on, you are their teacher and should be respected." Sun Shao motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "Prepare well, systematically tell them about the special surnames of jungle and mountain warfare, I think you have spoken very well, I haven't noticed that there is still talk about this in Liutao before, what does that Bird Cloud Array look like?" Can you elaborate on that then? ”

"Whoa." Heda is a little embarrassed, these are his experiences, if you give it all out, is it not worth it?

"Write it well, and publish a monograph in the future, so that all the soldiers of my country can know your prestige." Sun Shao quietly tempted: "In the future art of war, there should be a He Zi, an expert in mountain and jungle warfare." How's that, is there any interest? ”

He Da suddenly felt blood surging up in his face, he never thought that he could become a master of the art of war, and he was still called He Zi? This is much greater than he thought, meritorious service and fame, virtue is too empty, for a military general like him, meritorious service is the most real, and fame is also desired. His father, He Qi, had fought with Shanyue all his life, and he had made great achievements, and he had not been able to become famous in mountain warfare, but now he has the opportunity to take the lead, what a great opportunity.

"Dare to disobey." Heda bowed.

"Bozhi is not conservative, his broad-mindedness is admirable, and you will have greater achievements in the future." Sun Shao smiled.

"Everything is given by the king, and the ministers dare not take credit." Hedar is overwhelmed.

"I don't dare to plunder the beauty of people." Sun Shao couldn't help laughing: "I'm just a little impatient to get a sneak peek." ”

"Please rest assured, as soon as the minister writes it, he will first petition the king to correct the axe."

On the first day, the officers above the lieutenant level listened to the lecture first, and from the second day, arranged for 100 officers above the middle and lower levels to listen to the lecture in batches, and after arriving in Yizhou, he transferred capable men and horses from the Heda battalion to each battalion to lead them to actual combat, and strived to use three to five months to make most of the soldiers familiar with the unfamiliar tactics of jungle warfare.

"Isn't three or five months too long?" Doubts were expressed.

"It's not long, Yizhou is no smaller than Zhu Ya, with the strength of Shen Xuan, Wei Jing and He Da, it will take two years to calm down, how can we take it lightly? Everyone must be prepared for a long-term war and make Yizhou the starting point for our conquest of the four seas. ”

Sun Shao seized every opportunity to instill in everyone the view of facing the wider world, he knew that although Zhu Ya's foundation had been laid well, but Zhu Ya was too close to Jiaozhou, once Sun Quan eased up, he would inevitably attack Zhu Ya, and Yizhou was not, after he grabbed the Houguan Shipyard and Panyu Shipyard in Jiangdong, only with Yuzhang Shipyard, Sun Quan could not complete the task of crossing the vast sea to Yizhou in a short period of time, as long as he left a small number of men and horses, he could ensure the safety of the base camp, so that the army would not fight abroad, His hometown was copied by Sun Quan.

He has a big mind, and it is not the goal to force Huijiquan County and Nanhai County, it is just to teach Sun Quan a lesson, and the other is to control the shipbuilding capacity and ensure his stamina and advantages in the shipbuilding industry. His purpose is overseas, since Columbus can discover the New World with three sailing ships and hundreds of sailors, he now has four public and private shipyards, hundreds of large and small warships, and 20,000 or 30,000 sailors, and he can completely rely on the strength to lead the world to run rampant in the world, why can't he take the lead in directing the eyes of the Han to the broader world, but instead have to deal with Cao Liu Jin in the Central Plains?

When he arrived at Heda, the sailor who had been anchored in the East China Sea for half a month finally puffed up his sails and sailed to the depths of the sea under the guidance of the navigator who had been personally trained by Lu Ji and others. Looking at the coastline that was getting farther and farther away behind him, Sun Quan stood with his hands in his hands, let out a long breath, and after tossing for a few years, he finally began to really expand outward. If you don't count the last voyage from Zhuya to Yuenan County, this direct voyage to Yizhou can be said to be the first voyage in the true sense. Although the sea route from Zhuya to Yuenan is long, he at least knows that there must be land in front of him, and now it is different to go to Yizhou, although there are many Taiwan, but if there is a big deviation in the course, it is entirely possible for him to plunge headlong into the boundless sea and find no way back. Although there is a compass, a clairvoyant, and an astronomical positioning, but this is not a satellite positioning after all, and the error is still very large, for this, he has a clear enough understanding of this, the so-called careful 10,000-year-old ship, with the surname of more than 10,000 soldiers, and more than half of the belongings of the Yue country, he can not be too cautious. The time, place, and people are all adjusted to the best state, and now it only depends on whether God gives him some luck.

"Bong-first." Sun Shangxiang, who was wearing armor, walked lightly to the flying house, and saw that Sun Shao was distracted, so he uncharacteristically did not laugh, but called out very elegantly.

"Auntie." Sun Shao glanced back at her and said with a smile: "Auntie, you have always refused to find someone to marry, are you afraid that you will not be able to follow me to fight after you get married?"

Sun Shangxiang glared at him, but she didn't get angry, she held on to the railing and looked at the coastline that had disappeared between the water and the sky: "You...... Planning to establish a foothold in Yizhou? ”

Sun Shao didn't answer, but just glanced at her with some surprise.

"You said it yourself." Sun Shangxiang was a little embarrassed by him, the tiger lowered his face, Sun Shao smiled, and nodded: "Yes, I think Yizhou is safer than Zhuya." ”

"You're still worried about him." Sun Shangxiang sighed, hating the iron and patting the railing, as if the painted smooth railing was Sun Quan's head: "He's demonic!" I don't want to deal with Cao Ying and Liu Bei, I have to deal with you. ”

"If you go outside, you must first settle inside, they all think so." Sun Shao smiled unmindfully: "Dealing with one's own people is always more thorough than dealing with the enemy, and guarding against the people around you is more attentive than guarding against aliens who are thousands of miles away." ”

"That'...... Isn't it too risky for you to leave the silver screen? Sun Shangxiang became worried.

"Don't take any chances." Sun Shao sneered, "When did I ever do something risky?" If he doesn't come, of course it's best, and if he wants to stab me in the back while I'm out to sea, I promise it will be the last. ”

Sun Shangxiang shivered excitedly, and involuntarily wrapped his body tightly. However, she didn't persuade Sun Shao, Sun Shao was just preparing and didn't take the initiative, he was already worthy of Sun Quan, if Sun Quan had to get rid of Sun Shao and hurry up, then he really deserved to die.

May my father's spirit in heaven bless him from being obsessed with it. Sun Shangxiang clasped his hands together and prayed secretly.

"Auntie, how is the newly selected female pawn trained?" Sun Shao didn't want to talk about such a heavy topic anymore, so he changed it to an interesting one. Sun Shangxiang made meritorious contributions in Xiangping City, and she proposed to Sun Shao to expand the army, after all, it is still risky to use young men to pretend to be women. Although her female guards are inferior to other men under Sun Shao, they are much more lethal than ordinary women, as long as they are used properly, the effect is still obvious, and Xiangping City is a successful example. This battle made Sun Shangxiang full of confidence, she very much looked forward to doing more, so she fell in love with those captive Buyeo and Goguryeo women, these women were taller than Wu Yue women, and lived in a bitter cold place all year round, many people could gallop with bows and horses, no different from men, and it was much easier to train than Wu Yue women.

Sun Shao agreed to her request, let her pick more than 200 people by herself, make up the number of 500, the sailors of the building ship are additionally equipped, and the combatants are mainly these 500 women, Sun Shao did not expect them to charge into battle, but I hope that they can really play a role when they need to go into battle, so the training task is still very heavy, there is no shortage of broadside, boats, water battles, and there is no shortage of them, and there is also more singing and dancing training, after all, they have more time to perform covert tasks.

Of course, Sun Shao didn't forget to make a little bad heart, he said to Sun Shangxiang, since he is a sailor, it is normal to go into the water in the future, you see that the men of the sailor are all naked, although you female pawns can't do it, but you can't wrap your whole body tightly, don't you also change your clothes? Sun Shangxiang disagreed at first, but later found that it was really not good to wear too much to go into the water, so he had to follow Sun Shao's suggestion, equipped with a new swimsuit, and five hundred female pawns went to the sea to train the water surname, which became the most attractive project every day, and there were always some disciples who came up to talk. Fortunately, the female pawns are used to showing their heads, and those bearded girls are also open, except for being a little shy at first, and then gradually getting used to it.

The advantage of this is that Sun Shangxiang's Flying Tiger often has nothing to do, and the entire sailor is also a little more elegant, and no one jumps from the boat into the water with a bare butt.
