Just when the defenders were panicked, Chen Hai and Shuai Zeng rushed behind Sun Shao, and the soldiers behind them continued to rush up to the city, standing steadily, they formed a small attack formation, relying on the strong protective ability of the heavy armor on their bodies, no need to defend, just let go of their hands and feet to attack, constantly expand the position, squeeze out the defenders, cover the companions behind the city, not for long, they laid a formation of about five steps at the head of the city.

Under the city, Zhao Sleeve commanded his subordinates, relying on the cover of the baggage cart, and did his best to release arrows at the head of the city, in order to reduce Sun Shao's pressure. At the same time, they were ready to enter the city, and once Sun Shao opened the city gates, they could rush in.

Li Jing was stunned by Sun Shao's ferocious offensive, he didn't expect Sun Shao to rush to the city so quickly, the more than 800 people he prepared not only failed to block Sun Shao, but were beaten back step by step by Sun Shao, and in a few rounds, Sun Shao gained a firm foothold in the city, and expanded his advantage like a bamboo. Behind him, the fierce soldiers who continued to rush to the head of the city faced the spears and halberds like a forest, one by one like tigers entering the flock, and they rushed to the defenders unstoppably, brandishing the sharp weapons in their hands, and killing wantonly.

"Stop them—" Li Jingwu danced the long sword in his hand, and sharply commanded his subordinates to try their best to encircle them, taking advantage of the large number of people to squeeze forward, trying to squeeze Sun Shao and them out of the city. The crossbows at the corner of the city roared from time to time, shooting the soldiers who climbed the city one by one, but the soldiers behind were not afraid, stepping on the corpses of their companions to climb up, and quickly joined the team fighting at the head of the city. The power of the crossbow to defend the city is great, but the shortcomings of the slow speed are also exposed, just shoot two or three arrows, and half of the three hundred warriors who have climbed the city have already rushed up.

Zhao Sleeve saw that the city guard crossbow was shooting his robe, so angry that his eyes were red, he ordered more than ten strong archers to rush to the corner of the city, risking the risk of being shot by the city guard crossbow, aimed at the direction of the city crossbow, and shot the crossbowman who guarded the city crossbow was embarrassed.

Sun Shao heard Li Jing's voice, and he shouted: "Chen Hai, Ding Feng, cover me!" ”

Chen Hai and Ding Feng arrived in response, and danced the long knife in front of Sun Shao, Sun Shao threw away a long knife that had been cut, bit the other knife in his mouth, reached out and pulled out a bowstring from his waist, while looking at Li Jing in the distance, he changed the string with his hands and feet, and then pulled out a copper dragon flying worm arrow from the quiver behind him. Most of the arrows of the Han Dynasty have been made of iron, because the triangular arrows are not suitable for forging, so they usually use flat arrows, although the sharpness has increased, but the killing effect is greatly reduced, but not as good as the triangular arrows, and the triangular arrows are usually made of expensive copper.

The full name of the bronze bolt arrows used by Sun Shao is the sheep's head copper bolt arrow, which is much shorter than the general arrow, but the iron collar part is much longer, so the arrow is heavier and suitable for strong bows, and it is better to use Sun Shao's three-stone bow.

Sun Shao's archery skills are very good, usually he shoots people only a little aim, but this time, he held his breath very carefully, his eyes bit Li Jing tightly, the noisy fighting sound in front of him was far away from him in an instant, and the shaking figures slowly turned into nothingness, only Li Jing, who was running and shouting in the distance, became more and more clear, and his movements became slower, as if he was slowing down the camera.

"Medium!" Sun Shao, who was united with the bow, let go of his fingers, and the bowstring suddenly loosened, and the bronze bolt flew away from the string with the afterimage, and it was not until it flew out of half the distance that the bowstring made a "buzz" sound.

Li Jing, who was commanding his subordinates to intercept and kill, suddenly felt a palpitation, he subconsciously swallowed back the shouts that had not yet been spoken, and turned his gaze to Sun Shao, who was fighting, he suddenly felt a little strange, Sun Shao had been rushing to the front, when did he retreat to the formation? Also, why did he hold the knife in his mouth and the bow in his hand?

Li Jing didn't figure it out, but the county lieutenant beside him saw it, and he rushed towards Li Jing with all his strength, and at the same time raised the shield in his hand, wanting to protect Li Jing. His movements were not unpleasant, his judgments were not incorrect, but alas, it was all too late.

The speed of the bronze arrows was much faster than ordinary arrows, the county lieutenant had just moved, the arrows had already flown silently, and an arrow hit Li Jing's throat, the arrow's residual momentum was not gone, and it leaked out from the back of his neck, and blood burst out along the wound torn by the three-edged arrow, spraying the guards behind him.

Li Jing tightly held the arrow feather that was still trembling, and made a "cooing" sound in his throat, but he didn't say a word, he took two steps forward, suddenly felt that his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and the strength of his body quickly disappeared, his head slowly lowered, and the three-edged arrow exposed on the back of his neck pointed straight to the sky, and the blood arrow sprayed into the air.

Li Jing's sudden death was the heaviest blow to the defenders whose morale had been greatly hit, and after a short period of consternation, the remaining defenders immediately collapsed, some of them scattered and fled, some threw down their weapons and surrendered on their knees, and the few stubborn defenders were quickly slaughtered under the attack of Sun Shao and others.

Chen Hai led people to rush down the city wall, opened the city gate, and Zhao Sleeve led people to rush in.

Nisamaki City changed hands in less than a quarter of an hour after the attack began.

Although Cui Qian and Su Thick Legs were far away and couldn't see each other's expressions, their expressions were exactly the same as if they had made an appointment. Cui Qian and Cui Wu looked at each other, Su Thick Legs and Wei Ping were relatively speechless, their mouths were wide open, and they could almost stuff their fists.

Sun Shao broke through the West Roll City?

It wasn't until Sun Shao sat in the Mansion of the Southern Taishou and called them over that they hadn't recovered from the shock, which made them look very calm when they stood in front of Sun Shao.

"I won't be hungry." Sun Shao casually threw a volume of brochure in front of them: "All the taxes paid by Nanjun this year are in the warehouse, a total of 320,000 stones, enough for us to go back to the South China Sea, right?" ”

Cui Qian came to his senses at this time, he lifted his battle skirt, knelt down in front of Sun Shao, and fell to the ground: "The general is brave, humble and admired." ”

Su Thick Legs was full of shame, and he also knelt on the ground, claiming to be a capital crime. What he admired before was only his scheming, but he never really took Sun Shao's courage to heart. In his mind, only a fierce man like Guan Yu can be called brave, can he kill the general and capture the flag, and take the head of the general in the 10,000-horse army, and although Sun Shao is also brave, he is just an ordinary warrior. But today he served, although there were only 2,000 people in Xijuan City, and he and Cui Qian restrained most of the strength, but Sun Shao only used 300 people to break through Xijuan City at a lightning speed, which still shocked him very much.

Even if Guan Yu is here, it is probably nothing more than that.

"Get up, it's a battle today, but it's just a small test, it's not worth mentioning." Sun Shao waved his hand and laughed disapprelicly: "Immediately send someone to inform Yu Changshi and prepare to receive military rations." ”

"Whoa." Cui Qian answered loudly, got up and went out to give the order.

"Brother Su, please get up." Sun Shao stepped forward to help Su Thick Leg and patted him on the shoulder: "If you hadn't attracted some of Li Jing's troops, I'm afraid it would have been delayed for some time, and I would have worked hard for you this time." ”

"Su Yu didn't dare to take credit." Su said with a thick leg: "This kind of war should have been charged by Su Yu and others, but today it is really Su Yu's crime to let the general risk the arrows and stones." ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Shao laughed: "Su Jun is wrong, today is there a arrow without a stone, although Li Jing has prepared some rolling stones at the head of the city, but most of them are useless." ”

"That's because the general's attack was too sharp, and Li Jing didn't have time to react at all." Su said with a smile on his face.

"It's a fluke." Sun Shao modestly waved his hand again and again.

Yu Pan was taken aback when he got the news, and immediately rushed to Nishijuan with a cargo ship. When he strode into the Taishou Mansion, Sun Shao was checking the documents shirtless, and when he saw him come in. Sun Shao immediately smiled, raised the document in his hand and didn't have time to speak, but saw Yu Fu angry, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Sir, what's wrong?" ”

"The general is so brave, and there is really a style of rebellion against the general." Yu Fu gritted his teeth and sneered: "Three hundred warriors will attack Xijuan City, and they will definitely be famous all over the world in the future, and they are really good men." ”

Sun Shao touched his nose, glanced at the freshly bandaged wound on his body, and smiled awkwardly. He is not stupid, of course he knows that Yu Tuo is not a sincere compliment, and he may not really care about him. Yu Flip cares about him, probably mostly because he has the hope of the Huiji family. He hurriedly instructed someone to turn over the tea for Yu, and then politely beckoned Yu to sit down, and patiently explained: "Sir, you also know that our return trip is short of food, and if we just go back, then wouldn't our trip be in vain?" So I didn't have time to discuss with my husband, and temporarily decided to take advantage of Li Jing's lack of preparation to storm Xijuan City. Sir also saw that the West Roll Castle is only one zhang and five feet high, and the guards can't be compared with the castles in Jiangdong, so we should still have a chance. ”

Yu was sipping tea, and his heart was still pounding. For a long time, although Sun Shao was a little frivolous in his eyes, he was still a more cautious person in general, which was very different from Sun Ce's negligence back then. But no one expected that Sun Shao would either not play, or play if he wanted to play, and he would actually put Cui Qian and Su Thick Legs with four or five thousand people, and only picked three hundred people to storm Xijuan City, and what was even more outrageous was that he didn't even prepare the battle equipment for the siege of the city, so he attacked it like this. Although now that Sun Shao's adventure has succeeded, his reasons do make some sense, but Yu Tuo still feels frightened, if you are hit by a stone, you will either die or be injured even if you are wearing heavy armor. If Sun Shao makes a mistake, this seemingly powerful sailor will collapse in a blink of an eye, except for Sun Shao, who else can suppress the two big pirates of Fu Su and Cui Qian?

"General, such a thing will never happen again in the future." Yu turned over a fire, and seeing that Sun Shao had always been good-natured, he was a little embarrassed, and finally said earnestly: "Something like charging into battle can be handed over to a puppet like Chen Hai and Ding Feng, even Cui Qian and Su Yu can also be it, the status of a general is noble, and he can't do such a thing anymore." You must know that you are the general of an army, the soul of an army, not a brave man. ”

Sun Shao nodded again and again, and then sent the warehouse account books that had just been cleared to Yu Xuan's hands. Yu flipped over and flipped through it, and then turned his anger into joy: "I can't imagine that such a remote Yuenan County is so rich?" ”

Yes, even Sun Shao didn't expect Yuenan County to be so rich at first.

There were originally five counties in Yuenan County, in addition to the county governance of the West Volume, there are Xianglin, Bijing, Zhuwu, Lu Rong, Xianglin has now established itself as a Linyi country, there are only four counties left in Yuenan County, a total of 15,342 households, 76,951 people, it is said that it is equivalent to a county of Wu County, but he took inventory of the warehouse and found that the warehouse of Yuenan County is only stronger than Wu County - there are 320,000 stone grain in the warehouse, which is the field endowment just harvested this year, and it is already slightly stronger than Wu County, and in addition to grain, The amount of money is beyond Sun Shao's imagination, there are more than 20 million money, more than 30% more than Wu County, Sun Shao began to think that Li Jingqiao set up a name, expropriating tyranny, originally wanted to do something very happy, but later called the relevant personnel to ask, only to know that although the money is a lot, but most of them come from the right way. The reason why this money far exceeded Sun Shao's expectations was because of the special geographical location of Yuenan - most of this money was commercial taxes.

Yuenan County is the first stop from Yishang into Jiaozhou, so the Yishang who pass through from then on have to pay taxes according to the size of the ship and the value of the goods, which is an important economic source of Yuenan County, and on the other hand, Xijuan is also the eastern starting point of the trading channel between Yuenan County and Funanguo, along the Donghe River in the south of Xijuan Chengnan, it is only fifty or sixty miles westward, and after passing through a canyon of about ten miles, you can cross the Changshan Mountain and enter the territory of Funanguo. It is a trade route that has been in use for hundreds of years, and it is said that along this trade route, you can go all the way to the west, passing through hundreds of small countries, large and small, all the way to the sea. If Funan and its vassals want to obtain goods from the outside, they will either follow this trade route to the east to the west, or follow this trade route to the west, and if possible, they will choose to go east to west, the reason is very simple, not only can they trade with Yi merchants, but also with a large number of Han merchants, and all kinds of goods from the Han Dynasty are not only practical compared to Yi goods, but also relatively inexpensive, and are easier to be accepted by those kings large and small.

In this way, this trade route brought a rolling source of wealth to the western roll. Although the population of Yuenan County is not large, he said in his conscience that Li Jing is not the kind of corrupt official who scrapes the land, and it can even be said that he has no other bad deeds except for the crime of colluding with Lin Yiguo.

So what is the concept of an annual income of more than 20 million yuan? There can be a figure to illustrate that when the Han Kingdom was in Huanling, the population was about 60 million people, and the annual treasury income was about 8 billion yuan, that is to say, although the population of Yuenan was less than 1 in 800 of the country, but there was a treasury income of 400 in 1 percent, which was far higher than the average level.

Who would have thought that the farthest part of the Han Dynasty would have such an attractive financial income?

"It's a pity that Li Jing is such a talent." Yu sighed, and then asked, "How is the general going to arrange?" ”

Sun Shao hesitated: "This time Jiaozhou is pacified, Bufujun has already controlled the six counties, it is said that I should also make some benefits, and Yuenan is a good place." However, Cui Qian killed the prince of Linyi State, Ou Chu, the district company of Linyi Country probably won't bow his head easily, Linyi is not a big place, and his strength is limited, I'm not very worried, but Linyi is said to be a vassal country of Funan, and there are hundreds of vassal countries large and small in Funan, will Funan State raise troops to disturb the border? It is said that the terrain in the south is long and narrow, and it is not easy to defend it with only this little force in our hands. ”

Yu stroked his beard and nodded: "The general's concern is reasonable, we are not familiar with the terrain here, if we stay, we will probably have to bear a lot of pressure in the short term." This is not only the pressure brought by Linyi and Funan, but also the pressure brought by Buqi and Supreme. The general has already asked for Zhu Ya, will they hand over Yue Nan to the general again? ”

Sun Shao nodded, but he was a little reluctant, Yue Nan looked remote, but the annual income of 2,000 gold and 300,000 stone of grain were still very attractive to him. Moreover, he also had the ambition to follow this trade route all the way west to the Indian Ocean. In his vague impression, the location of Funanguo is roughly equivalent to the area of Thailand in the future, and if he can occupy this place, not only will he have a foothold, but he will not have to travel west from the Strait of Malacca, and he can save a long distance.

But Yu Fu's worries may not be unreasonable, not to mention that they are not familiar with the situation in Funan now, and the terrain conditions in the south are also very different from the Jiangdong they are familiar with, so it is said that Buqi and Sun Quan may not let him get Yuenan so peacefully. Buqi has now taken over Hepu, Jiaolu and Jiuzhen, and the commercial tax revenue of these counties will not be worse than that of Yuenan, so Buqi should be easy to guess Yuenan's actual income, can he easily swallow this piece of fat in his mouth?

This is a good place, but at the moment, his strength is not enough to occupy this place, it is necessary to endure it for a while, and when his strength is stronger, he will seize this place again.

"Okay, let's report the situation here to Bufu-kun." Sun Shao quickly made a decision, "Mr. Yu, you hurry up, take away the grain stored in the warehouse, and if we don't have enough ships, we will requisition merchant ships." If the prediction is right, then Jiangdong will soon have a big war with the Central Plains, and these grains will be of great use. ”

Yu Fu smiled and was silent, Sun Shao's words were half-true and half-false, and the last few words were even more hypocritical. He didn't believe that Sun Shao would be so kind and hand over the 300,000 stone of rice to Sun Quan, and he would have to intercept it by himself in case of emergency. But everyone knows these words, and there is no need to point them out. Yu Chuan was also very disappointed in Sun Quan, otherwise he would not have agreed to let his two sons work under Sun Shao.

"General, since the commercial tax is so considerable, you might as well attract more businessmen to go directly to Zhuya in the future." Yu rolled his eyes and said quietly: "With such a business tax, then Zhuya can become a new big city in a very short period of time." ”

"Makes sense." Sun Shao nodded repeatedly, "I'll leave this matter to Mr. to deal with." In addition, please take a look at Mr., how to write to Bufujun, we have done so many things, we should ask for some more rewards, or the soldiers under him should be dissatisfied. ”

Yu turned his heart and understood, and laughed repeatedly: "If you deserve it, this matter will be wrapped up in me." ”
