As soon as he heard Sun Shao's voice, Shen Xuan immediately calmed down, he looked at Sun Shao more than ten steps away, sneered, and suddenly raised his voice: "Sun Jun, the night is long, and you have no intention of sleeping, why not just talk about the boat, let Shen Xuan also listen to Sun Jun's high opinions." ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Shao lifted his pants in the distance, he came out to breathe after charging into battle, and he was about to return to the hot quilt, how could he have the heart to accompany Shen Xuan to chew his tongue. Besides, Shen Xuan has no intention of sleeping and is a single, but he is a beautiful woman, ** a moment is worth a thousand gold, a good time, how can he brag with him. He turned his head and went back to the cabin, then opened the window and shouted, "Brother Shen, what's the use of what you say?" The Wu Wa Pavilion outside Wu County is standing there. The people with tattoos in the mountains can be seen everywhere, and half of my army of more than 100,000 people in Jiangdong are mountain people. If you provoke them, the world will be in chaos. Although Brother Shen's tongue is wonderful, he deserves the sharp blade of 100,000 mountain and Yue soldiers? ”

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Xuan to refute, he closed the window with a "snap". Shen Xuan was furious, but he was embarrassed to shout at the top of his throat like Sun Shao, Sun Shao could be shameless, but he couldn't save face. Besides, Sun Shao's last sentence is very practical. At present, among the more than 100,000 troops in Jiangdong, at least half of them are forcibly conscripted Shanyue soldiers, and many of these people are mountain people with tattooed hair, that is, the savages that Shen Xuan said, although he scolded twice here will not cause a mutiny, and he does not take Sun Quan seriously, but he can't say that Sun Quan is not in front of Sun Shao -- although Sun Shao and Sun Quan do not deal with each other, it does not mean that Sun Shao will tolerate him -- Sun Quan is really going to be angry, and it is possible to destroy his clan. Back then, his father Shen You was killed because of his talent, and now he doesn't want to get into trouble again.

Shen Xuan vainly claimed to be eloquent, but he was very depressed by Sun Shao, and what made him even more depressed was that Sun Shao didn't give him a chance to refute at all, you have a thousand wonderful words, but you don't give you a chance to say it, what can you do? It's a terrible feeling. Shen Xuan touched the knife ring on his waist, his face changed a few times, if it weren't for the fact that although his knife skills were good, he might not be Sun Shao's opponent, he really wanted to jump on Sun Shao's boat and scold him for a while.

Zhang Qian saw that Shen Xuan's face was not good, and he was embarrassed to be aggressive again, which was inconsistent with his belief in making money in a friendly manner, so he hurriedly pulled the topic to something else. However, Shen Xuan was angry himself, and he didn't have the heart to chat anymore, so he went to rest by himself after coping with two sentences. Zhang Qi saw it, smiled bitterly, and also returned to the cabin.

A moonlit drink broke up unhappily.

The initiator, Sun Shao, was lying in the hot quilt, hugging his soft wife, smiling proudly. Guan Feng said with some reproach: "Although Shen Xuan is arrogant, he is a friend of Zhang Wen and a famous talent in Wuzhong, even if you don't want to invite him into the scene, there is no need to be angry with him." ”

"Ma'am, you don't know." Sun Shao stroked Guan Feng's silky back and said softly: "Shen Xuan's father is Shen You, who was called Sanmiao back then, and he was killed by my supreme uncle for a reason that he couldn't even explain, because he was arrogant and difficult to control. This kid has been at home for more than ten years, and suddenly appeared at this time, I always feel that it is not as simple as a chance encounter. ”

"You're saying he approached you on purpose?" Guan Feng was taken aback, raised his head and looked at Sun Shao worriedly.

"I'm not sure, but it's possible." Sun Shao lowered his head, looked at Guan Feng's somewhat worried eyes, and laughed softly, he stretched out a finger and gently rested it on Guan Feng's red lips: "Don't worry, I have my own measure." If it's a chance encounter, that's it. If he wants to use me to fulfill his wishes, we'll fight to see who uses whom in the end. ”

Listening to Sun Shao's words, the worry in Guan Feng's eyes not only did not go, but on the contrary, it became heavier, and she hesitated for a moment: "Husband, doesn't you also have this intention?" ”

"People don't hurt the tiger, but the tiger harms people's hearts." Sun Shao smiled calmly, full of confidence: "Madame is familiar with military books, don't you hear that 'if you don't rely on the enemy, you won't attack me, and if you can't attack me'?" ”

"But......" Guan Feng pushed away the brocade quilt and sat up, her naked body flashed with a soft light in the darkness, a pair of tall peaks trembled, and her brows tightened: "Although the Supreme has let you go into business, how can he not pay attention to you?" If you recruit troops, if he knows, how can he give you a big chance? ”

"You can rest assured of this." Sun Shao stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, "I don't have any plans to go head-to-head with him for the time being, I don't need so many people." Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find, and what I want to collect now is not soldiers, but generals who can general. Madam, how many of your 200 guards are worthy of generals? ”

Guan Feng breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a while: "These people's martial arts are all good, but they are too little literate, and few of them have learned the art of war, so let them lead the team and charge into battle, then it will be a little difficult, if you want them to lead thousands of people, it will be a little difficult." ”

"That's right." Sun Shao pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "Anyway, it's not in a hurry, you don't know how to read, you can learn, if you don't know the art of war, you can also teach, besides, soldiers are trained, not read." Wait until I find an island, and then train them well. If I can train 10,000 generals out of 200 people, I will have 10,000 elite soldiers. With 10,000 elite soldiers, whoever wants to move me has to think about it. ”

Guan Feng saw that Sun Shao was confident and relieved. Sun Shao is right, there are really 10,000 elite soldiers, then he doesn't dare to say that he is invincible in Jiangdong, but it is definitely not so easy for Sun Quan to move him, you must know that now the direct control of heavy generals like Lu Meng and Lu Su is only about 10,000 people, and this time against Cao Ying's attack, Sun Quan only gathered 70,000 horses.

What made her even happier was that Sun Shao planned to use these people she brought as the team, indicating that her position in Sun Shao's heart was absolutely unique, otherwise, Sun Shao would not be able to guard against her. Thinking of this, Guan Feng's heart was sweet, and he couldn't help but hug Sun Shao's neck tightly and kiss him hard. Sun Shao was willing to let it go easily, and then the two hugged each other again, and the spring breeze was the second time.

In the next few days, Sun Shao spent most of his time asking Zhang Qian about business-related matters, and he didn't talk much with Shen Xuan. Although Shen Xuan had always wanted to argue with Sun Shao, Sun Shao should not fight, and he couldn't force himself up, so he had to listen quietly on the side. As time went by, the two gradually became acquainted and talked more, but they were still more polite and not very familiar with each other.

After passing the Jingkou, the river suddenly widened, and after the last stop of Wujin to replenish food, the fleet basically stopped resting on the shore, and pulled the sails, and kept going east and south day and night. It is the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and the southeast wind has not yet blown.

Since Sun Shao had the intention of training, Guan Feng took it to heart, and drew up a list for Sun Shao the next time, telling him which people were available and what their strengths and weaknesses were. Sun Shao kept it in mind and observed it for two days, then found a time to call thirteen of them to his ship.

Thirteen men stood in front of Sun Shao, each one was a little nervous and a little excited, and their eyes looked at Sun Shao with a bit of admiration, which was far from the previous look of disdain under the respect. In the past, they were polite to Sun Shao, because he was the uncle of the Guan family, and he couldn't embarrass Guan Feng no matter what, but now it is different, Zhang Liao is a fierce man who even the old lord Guan Yu looks up to, but he was single-handedly picked by his uncle, and this force alone is enough to make them fall in love.

They don't have too many ideas, what kind of literary talent or the like, it's all unreliable things, this is chaotic, force is the most important thing, for them, strong force is far more attractive than what literary talent.

"I have money now, so it is inevitable that there will be thieves who don't have long eyes eyeing me, for the sake of safety, I want to find some people with harder hands and more lively eyes to be guards." Sun Shao was not out of shape, looking at the dozen or so men standing straight in front of him, half leaning on the table, while picking his teeth, he said, "Madame said that you are good, so I will look for you." ”

When those people heard this, their faces immediately tensed, and they looked a little more solemn, but in front of Sun Shao, who was not standing, their appearance always looked a little funny.

"Of course I believe Madame's words." Sun Shao smiled at Guan Feng, and the tone of his words changed: "But, forgive me, I think you all seem to be about the same, you can't tell the difference between high and low, and it's really not easy to pick two of you out of the team to be the team leader." Well, I don't care about horses, but I can race. Since you are all thousands of miles away, from now on, you take turns to do the team rate, every ten days, exactly two months and ten years, two months later, the competition, the essay, the best two comprehensive results is the team rate. ”

He turned around and pointed to Shuai Zeng, who had been standing behind him: "You also participate." ”

"Me?" Shuai Zengzheng looked interesting, but he didn't expect to suddenly point to his head, he was taken aback, pointed to his nose, his eyes widened, and then he shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, my martial arts skills are too bad, how can I ...... with them"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Sun Shao's face suddenly sank, "You've been practicing hard for half a year, don't you think it's a pity to give up if you don't try?" ”

"Me?" Shuai Zeng blushed, a little embarrassed. He had been bullied by Dunwu before, he was really angry, so he secretly began to practice martial arts, every time Sun Shao practiced martial arts, he watched it attentively, and then found an opportunity to practice hard. In the past six months, his martial arts have made great progress, but if he wants to compare with these fierce pawns of the Guan family, he really has no confidence. It's okay if you lose, you can embarrass the young master, that's not good.

"Don't be afraid, I have faith in you." Sun Shao's face eased again, patted Shuai Zeng's shoulder, and pinched the muscles on his shoulder with his hand: "As long as you work hard, even if you fail in the end, I won't blame you, and you won't have regrets in the future." ”

Shuai Zeng saw that Sun Shao said it carefully, but he didn't insist, nodded and said, "Since the young master said so, then I'll give it a try." ”

"That's how it should be." Sun Shao turned around and looked at the thirteen men with different expressions, and saw that they were all a little hesitant, as if they were still embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask them now." ”

"Less...... Young master. A young man standing on the periphery said a little nervously: "Young master, being a personal guard, good martial arts, and good eyes, these are all needed, Guan Gong also asked us to do this back then, but why do you want to study?" ”

Sun Shao glanced at this young man of medium stature and two eyes, and smiled: "Your name is Zhao Sleeve, right, make a good pair of knives in one hand?" ”

Zhao Sleeve's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect that the young master, who usually seemed to be indifferent, actually knew that he still knew, and nodded a little reservedly.

"Let you study, not let you become doctors." Sun Shao sat down again, his fingers tapped lightly on the desk, and there was a strange rhythm in the sound of the tuk-tuk, although it was single, but it was not monotonous, and there was a faint meaning of the golden drum, which made people involuntarily a little excited, as if they were in the battlefield of the golden drums. "If you don't study, you don't know the past and the present, how can you do great things? My father-in-law, isn't your lord also reading every day? ”

Everyone looked at each other, they were all a little strange, although Sun Shao didn't say anything, but they all heard another meaning, to do big things, what big things can be done? Rebel? Although this thing sounds terrifying, for people like them, it is as if a beast smells blood, and naturally it is a little restless.

"Read well." Sun Shao raised his head and looked at Guan Xiaoqing and Qiao Yue next to him: "You two are responsible for teaching them to read, not too much, just be able to read and write the Analects." ”

"Can you read and write?" Guan Xiaoqing glanced at Zhao Sleeve and the others with embarrassed faces, and laughed: "Young master, you think they are all the same as you, let them read and write the Analects for two months, but it's really embarrassing for them." ”

"You don't believe it?" Sun Shao raised his eyebrows.

"I don't believe it." Guan Xiaoqing pursed her lips, looking disapproving. Not only her, but even Zhao Sleeve and others felt that this requirement was too high, and it was outrageous to read so many books in more than two months.

Sun Shao touched his nose and smiled, he stood up, walked behind Guan Xiaoqing and Qiao Yue, pushed a person's back with one hand, and pushed them in front of Zhao Sleeve and the others: "Xiaoqing is the closest person to Madame, Xiao Yue'er, she said that she is my maid, but she is actually similar to my sister-in-law." I know that many of you are red-eyed, but you don't have the guts. I give them a chance today that those who can read and write the Analects within two months can pursue them, and as long as you are able to coax them to do so, I will not interfere with them, and at the same time give them a dowry. ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Xiaoqing and Qiao Yue's faces suddenly turned red, and the eyes of those men involuntarily lit up.

"If you don't want to study yet, you can quit now." Sun Shao clapped his hands and said lightly: "It also saves me from wasting my pen and ink, although I have money, I can't be so bad, you say yes." ”

Guan Xiaoqing looked at Guan Feng with a little stammer: "Husband...... Madame, say a word. ”

"What did I say?" Guan Feng smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, the young master asked Mrs. Sun for ten female guards, and when the time comes, just pick one out of them." ”

"No...... That's not what it means. Guan Xiaoqing hurriedly shook her head, and then her face flushed again. Just kidding, even if she doesn't hate Sun Shao now, how can being a concubine be as good as being a lady. Besides, Sun Shao has something to say first, not to send her out, whether it succeeds or not, the initiative is still in their own hands. With an identity like theirs, they are either nameless concubines or given as gifts, and there are too few opportunities to choose their own sons-in-law.

"Alright, let's disperse." Sun Shao waved his hand and drove out a group of quasi-perverts with shiny eyes. Shuai Zeng didn't leave with a shy face, and looked at Sun Shao flatteringly: "Young master, I'm ...... I have a chance, right? ”

"Of course you have a chance." Sun Shao glanced at him, reached out and picked up the teacup on the case, Shuai Zeng hurriedly snatched it up and lifted the teapot to pour tea for him, with a smile on his face: "That...... Can the young master instruct me in two moves? Otherwise, if you lose when the time comes, you won't be the one who has lost the young master? ”

Sun Shao sipped tea and said with a wicked smile: "I think you think Xiao Yue'er's mind isn't a day or two, right?" ”

"Hey, hey, my fair lady, how good a gentleman is, doesn't the young master often teach us like this?" Shuai Zeng rubbed his hands and looked at Sun Shao with warm eyes. Sun Shao nodded: "You have this heart, it's also good, say it, think about how I can guide you." ”

"This ......" Shuai Zeng was so excited that he was a little incoherent, his face was swollen and red, and he said for a long time: "I just have little strength." ”

"It's easy to do with little strength." Sun Shaoshao beckoned, signaling Shuai Zeng to come over, Shuai Zeng hurriedly came to him, Sun Shao whispered a few words, Shuai Zeng suddenly eyebrows danced: "Really? ”

"Can I lie to you?" Sun Shao was angry and funny. Shuai Zeng hurriedly shook his head, blinked his eyes, and left with a smile.

"Young master, how can you do this?" Qiao Yue pouted, walked over with a red face, and said expectantly: "I'm only fourteen, and I don't want to get married." ”

"Silly girl, what's wrong with Fourteen?" Sun Shao pulled Qiao Yue to his side and motioned for her to sit down: "There are more people married in fourteen." Besides, if you don't want to, who of them will dare to force you to fail? You are a tender fresh fruit that I hung out, tempting these monkeys to study hard. He lowered his voice again and smiled evilly: "Besides, you are not in a hurry, but someone is in a hurry, if you don't accompany her, wouldn't she be even more embarrassed to be alone." Well, what do you say, Xiao Yue'er? ”

Qiao Yue was relieved at this time, grinning, and secretly laughed like he had done a prank together.

As soon as this order was given, the atmosphere of the team suddenly changed. In the past, when they were not on duty, these people were either gambling for money, or bragging, or they slept a lot, but now they have changed, one by one they are either practicing martial arts, or pestering Guan Xiaoqing and Qiao Yue to be courteous, and it is really difficult to pick up the pen with the hand that is used to the knife, and they often hold back a sweat, and the words are still written crookedly, which makes Guan Xiaoqing and Qiao Yue giggle and laugh non-stop.

Shen Xuan and Zhang Qian quickly noticed the abnormality of Sun Shao's subordinates, although Shen Xuan's impression of Sun Shao did not change, but he showed the generosity of a scholar to these men who learned from him, he not only instructed them to read, but also competed with them in martial arts. He is good at learning and eloquence, and there are many truths that Qiao Yue and Guan Xiaoqing can't explain, but he is thorough, easy to understand, and easy to remember. Zhao Sleeve first discovered this good teacher, every day as soon as he was on duty, he went to Shen Xuan for advice with wine and meat, and after a short time, Shen Xuan became a Xixi who didn't take money, and he was more like a teacher than the two of Qiaoguan.

Sun Shao saw it in his eyes and didn't speak, someone was willing to teach these subordinates for him, and he didn't object, and from the mouths of Zhao Sleeve and others, he also knew more about Shen Xuan. In addition to being a little radical in his surname, this person is also a very good person in general, his talent and martial arts are first-class, and he also has a lot of research on the art of war, and more importantly, he does not reject these men who lick blood with knives, which is somewhat similar to Guan Yu. And thinking that he lost his father at a young age, Sun Shao can also understand his surname, not to mention that the culprit is not his uncle Sun Quan, your family killed other people's father, and now it is not an exaggeration to be looked down upon by others.

With this idea, Sun Shao's perception of Shen Xuan was also better, and he expressed kindness to him intentionally or unintentionally. Shen Xuan didn't let go of the opportunity this time, he was no longer the cold deputy Langjun, and the two gradually became acquainted. The journey is lonely, the two are close in age, and their interests are similar, but they can talk about it very much, of course, they will not mention some sensitive topics, even if they occasionally mention them, they will tacitly avoid them.

Ten days later, the boat crossed Haiyan, and the sea in front of me gradually widened, and it was rare to see a few boats on the sea surface where you could not see the edge at a glance. And the shore on the right side gradually drifted away, becoming a faint black line between the sky and water.

"Young master, we can count as crossing the sea now." Zhang Qian saw that Sun Shao looked fresh, so he smiled and said: "From here to the west, there is the sea route to Qiantang, to Danyang and Poyang to do business, and there are also people who walk directly from here on the Yangtze River (now Zhejiang)." ”

"What's over there?" Sun Shao asked, pointing to the faint black dots on the sea level in the southeast.

"There, hehe, it's not a good place to go." Zhang Qi smiled bitterly, suddenly stopped the topic, put his hand on his eyebrows, stood on tiptoe to look into the distance, and after a while, he hurriedly called a person and asked him to climb to the mast to see, the person looked at it, made a few gestures, Zhang Qi's face was cold, and suddenly shouted: "Come on, immediately fence the ship, the pirates are coming." ”

"Pirates?" Sun Shao was taken aback, this is still within the scope of Wu County, and it is not far from Wu County, how can there be pirates?

"That kind of sail is the mark of a pirate." Shen Xuan put his hands behind his back and calmly pointed to a small boat that was rushing in the distance and said: "This is a scout ship for information, as long as you see this kind of ship, within ten miles, there will be pirates." ”

"In broad daylight, pirates dare to rob openly?" Sun Shao sneered while signaling Guan Feng to prepare for battle: "Is there really no royal law?" ”

"Wang Fa? Do you mean the royal law of the Great Han, or something else? Shen Xuan sneered: "The jackal is in charge, and An asks the fox." These people are just stealing some property to make a living, but they are not extremely vicious, as long as the passing ships cooperate, such things as killing people and robbing goods are still rare, compared to those officials who knock out the bones and suck the marrow, it can be regarded as a thief. ”

Sun Shao burst out laughing, he touched his chin and looked at Shen Xuan, who was a little excited, until Shen Xuan realized that he had lost his words, and then smiled: "Brother Shen is really clear about them, could it be ......"

(To be continued)
