After sending Yang Xiu away, Sun Shao came to the next door, Ge Heng and Shen Xuan were sitting face to face, Shen Xuan supported his head with one hand, and looked at Ge Heng intently, but Ge Heng was engrossed in reading the drawings of the thunderbolt. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the two raised their heads at the same time and shouted in unison: "General." ”

"Don't worry, come one by one." Sun Shao waved his hand, signaling them to be calm. He sat in front of the desk, Shen Xuan poured him a cup of tea and sent it over, but Ge Heng pulled over the drawings and said impatiently: "This picture is not right, if you do it according to this, the thunderbolt will be made at most more than a hundred steps." ”

Sun Shao smiled, and Shen Xuan looked at him for a moment and smiled too. When Ge Heng saw them laughing, he was a little blindsided, thinking that he had said something wrong.

"Sizhen, make a copy of this picture, and then seal the original picture." Sun Shao instructed lightly: "Mozhi, don't be idle, give full play to your strengths, write a book on the thunderbolt, and strive to get some benefits for me back." He paused, and then pointed at Shen Xuan: "Mention our suspicions, just mention it, don't say too much." ”

"Whoa." Shen Xuanjaw leader ordered.

"Sizhen, if you feel something is wrong, you can change it." Sun Shao said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to load the ship, try a few first, when you feel satisfied, when you will equip the warship." ”

"Whoa." Ge Heng seemed to understand something, and nodded yes. Sun Shao thought for a while, and then said: "Pick some artillery players with a little more brains, train a few more, and use them as the backbone force in the future to train a cannon battalion." Don't be afraid to spend money, what I have is money. ”

Ge Heng burst out laughing and nodded again and again. The reason why he likes to do things behind Sun Shao is that Sun Shao is willing to spend money, as long as he thinks it is worth it, the money is sprinkled in it like water, and his brows are not wrinkled.

"Mozhi, from tomorrow onwards, the task of the two of us is to make friends, especially those from Xiyi." He scratched his nose, "Please have an interpreter, it's okay, of course, it's best if you can learn Xiyi by yourself, that's convenient." ”

Shen Xuan rolled his eyes, a little disapproving: "The general really wants to be a maritime merchant?" ”

"Hehe, sooner or later, now make some preparations. Let me tell you, what we need to inquire about now is not only the shipping lanes, the customs and customs of various countries, but more importantly, we must understand what the difficulties of navigation are, and the clearer we inquire and the more fully prepared, the greater the possibility of our success. Not to fight unprepared battles is the purpose of everything we do in the future. ”

"Well, I understand this, Sun Tzu's thirteen articles, the first one is the temple calculation." Shen Xuan nodded.

"That's right, everything must be fought as a war." Sun Shao nodded with satisfaction, he took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said, "Among the people you know, are there any people who are proficient in astrology?" ”

"Astrology?" Shen Xuan's eyes lit up: "Do you mean the disaster?" ”

"The stars have a fart to do with the calamity." Sun Shao laughed and laughed, and as soon as the words came out, he patted his head with some annoyance. He doesn't believe in any celestial induction, but people in this era do, although Shen Xuan is smart, he can't get rid of the restrictions of this era, as soon as he hears the stars, he thinks that he is looking for the will of heaven to rebel. This kid is still a thief. He shook his head again and again and explained, "The most important thing in the sea is to know the direction. There is no mountain and river to identify, only the starry sky is the most reliable map, most of the people and fishermen who sail in the sea all the year round know a little about the stars, but they are just by word of mouth, far from enough, I want to find a few high level. ”

"Oh." Shen Xuan was a little dazed, turned his hand around the teacup and thought for a moment, then looked at Ge Heng and said, "Then do you still need to look for it, isn't Si Zhen a middle master?" ”

"He understands, but he has too many things to do."

"There are a few, but they can't come to the general."

"Who?"

"Zhao Da, Liu Dan, and Wu Fan are all all in the stars, but they are all people around the Supreme, and they probably won't deign to come here." Shen Xuan blinked his eyes, thoughtfully, as if talking to himself, "As for the other two, it is even more impossible." ”

Sun Shao frowned, he knew Zhao Da and the three of them, and he really didn't dare to think that they were living a very prosperous life by Sun Quan's side, and it was impossible for him to come under the command of Henghai General who only had five boats. He thought for a moment, then asked, "Which two?" Let's talk about it first. ”

"Hui Ji Yu Zhongxiang, Wu Jun Lu Gongxu."

Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, yes, these two are all people who study and learn easily, and of course they are familiar with the stars. However, Shen Xuan was right, these two people were both Confucian-level, and it seemed unlikely that they would come to him as a guide.

Ge Heng, who had been silent, suddenly interjected: "Yu Zhongxiang is not easy, but Lu Gongxu is possible." ”

"Why?" Sun Shao and Shen Xuan asked in unison. Lu Ji's father Lu Kang died in Lujiang, the culprit is Sun Shao's dead ghost father Sun Shao, the hatred between the Lu family and the Sun family is obvious to all, but Ge Heng said that Lu Ji may come to help him, which is obviously a bit outrageous. Sun Shao subconsciously thought that this was a manifestation of Ge Heng's stupid attack.

"You can let Yan Baihu's daughter have a way out, why can't you turn enemies into friends with Lu Gongxu?" Ge Heng raised his head and looked at Sun Shao seriously. Sun Shao didn't speak, just looked at him. He let Yan Feiyan go, purely on a whim, mainly because Guan Feng was pregnant, he didn't want to kill more, cut off the roots of the Yan family, and affect his own heirs. Although he also knows that it is superstition, people sometimes have strange ideas. As for turning enemies into friends, he didn't dare to be so optimistic, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to the Yan family's ship.

"Anyway, now Jiangdong belongs to the Sun family, even if the Lu family holds grudges, he can't ignore the interests of the family." Ge Heng glanced at Shen Xuan, Shen Xuan's face was very ugly, and his eyelids drooped. Ge Heng sighed silently, and continued: "It's not that Lu Gongxu doesn't want to make peace with the Supreme, otherwise he wouldn't be a leader, it's just that he is too straight-tempered and not good at getting along with others, so he moved to Yulin." He has a foot disease, and he doesn't like to lead soldiers, he only likes to do learning, this Yulin is too guarded and a partial general, and it is very uncomfortable. If the general can treat him well and let him do his studies without worrying about food and clothing, he will not refuse to come. ”

Sun Shao's heart moved, and he felt that what Ge Heng said made some sense. If Lu Ji is really obsessed with learning, he is indeed suitable for him here, but I don't know if he can let go of this hatred, after all, being Jiangdong's official and assistant to him is not a concept.

"You can give it a try." Shen Xuan thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "Even if he refuses to come, he should be able to appreciate the general's kindness." In any case, the Lu family and the Sun family are now relatives, and they can't hold on to their past hatred. ”

"Okay, when you go to the book, please ask for a reward by the way, please invite Yu Lu and the two to come here, it's okay if you don't want to be my subordinate officials, I'll just invite them to give a lecture."

"That's good." Shen Xuan and Ge Heng both laughed, and did not invite Lu Ji alone, but even took Yu Xuan, which seemed not deliberate, and it was ordered by Sun Quan, this matter was much more solemn, which was considered to be enough face. The way of lecturing is also more flexible, let's take a look first, and then leave, so as not to worry too much.

"Mozhi, you can go for yourself." Sun Shao said in a consultative tone.

Shen Xuan hesitated for a moment and nodded in response. Since he has joined the office, no matter what the purpose is, he will always have to meet Sun Quan in the future, and with his identity, if he deliberately conceals it, it is not suitable for Sun Shao. In order to avoid suspicion, Sun Shao could have dismissed him directly, and now let him go to see Sun Quan in a bright and open manner, in fact, he has already taken a risk. He is now Sun Shao's staff, and he should share Sun Shao's worries.

"General, let me inform you of the situation in Jiaozhou." Shen Xuan diverted the topic, took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve cage and spread them on the case, Sun Shao took it and looked at it, it was a few names, a few people with all surnames in front, Shi Xie ranked first, and Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Buqi ranked behind.

"The seven counties of Jiaozhou, the Shi family is the most powerful, the left general Shi Xie is Jiao Lu Taishou, his younger brother Shi Yi is Hepu Taishou, Shi You (the original word left Huang right has, can not be played out ——!) is Jiuzhen Taishou, the remaining four counties, Nanhai Taishou is led by Buzi Mountain, Lu Gongxu is Yulin Taishou, I have just said, he has no intention of political affairs, is a dispensable figure, Cangwu is too shou Burui, is the younger brother of Buzi Mountain, said that the South Taishou Lijing Li Zhongming, Bajun Dianjiang people, is the father of Shixie's former officer."

Sun Shao counted with his fingers, and said with emotion: "The Shi family of the seven counties occupies four counties, and the Shi family is really the emperor of the soil." ”

"More than four counties." Shen Xuan shook his head, "Although Nanhai County is now the acting leader of Buzi Mountain, the power of the Shi family is still not small. Although Shiwu's son Shiwei is only a Dinghai Zhonglang general in the Jiaozhou Naval Division, he has 300 boats under his command, and he is the strongest Zhonglang general in the entire Jiaozhou Naval Division, even the Governor of the Jiaozhou Naval Division will let him score three points. ”

"Really?" Sun Shao was taken aback, and then smiled again: "It's much wider than me, a general of the Henghai." ”

Shen Xuan also laughed, and said in his heart, don't mention your Henghai general, this is a joke at all, it is a pit dug by Sun Quan. He paused for a moment, and seeing that Sun Shao didn't have a nervous look, he couldn't understand what Sun Shao was thinking, so he had to continue: "In addition to the Shi family, the most powerful person in Jiaozhou is Lord Thorn Shi. He controls the two counties of Nanhai and Cangwu, plus Yulin, his strength is slightly inferior to the Shi family, but he has great righteousness, and Shi Xie also gives him face, so everyone is safe, even if there is any fight, he will not tear his face. ”

"No wonder he wants to hand over the South China Sea to me to take care of, because he wants to use me as a swordman?"

"If the general wants to be a real Taishou of the South China Sea, he will inevitably have a conflict with the Shi family, even if he can win, it will be a loss for both sides, as long as the Supreme uses the South China Sea unrest as a reason, he can justifiably regain control of the South China Sea, and if you lose, then let alone say."

"It's a pit." Sun Shao touched the South China Sea Taishou Seal on his waist and pursed his lips.

"Time is in a hurry, all I can hear is this, please pay attention to the general." Shen Xuan put the paper in front of Sun Shao, and then looked at him quietly. Sun Shao glanced at it, folded the paper and put it away expressionlessly, and praised: "I can hear so much news in such a short period of time, and I have a meritorious service." You hurry up and clean up, go back with Yang Xiu, and take care of it on the way. ”

"Whoa." Shen Xuan was a little confused in his heart, he originally thought that in the face of such a difficult situation, Sun Shao would definitely be sad and ask him for advice, but now that Sun Shao doesn't seem to care, he can't figure it out.

After arranging Shen Xuan and Ge Heng, Sun Shao returned to the inner room. Guan Feng leaned on the couch tiredly, her face was ugly, and there were some filth at the corners of her mouth, Guan Xiaoqing was busy fetching water to rinse her mouth, and the room was filled with a sour smell. Sun Shao hurriedly took two steps, hugged Guan Feng in his arms, gently stroked her back, and asked with concern, "Vomited again?" ”

"Ugh." Guan Feng nodded weakly, touching his stomach that still showed no signs, there was happiness in his eyes, but also some uneasiness, and some complaints: "It's really not the right time." ”

"Why isn't the time?" Sun Shao knew what Guan Feng was thinking, and hurriedly comforted: "You don't know, my mother is in a hurry, and when she receives my letter and knows that you have a body, she may be so happy." ”

"But ......" Guan Feng raised his face to look at Sun Shao, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "Husband is encountering so many difficulties now, not only can I not help you, but I also have to work for you to be distracted and take care of me, how can I be safe." ”

And. Is it still difficult for those goods? Sun Shao waved his hand, as if to drive away a fly: "I can pinch them to death if I think of a way casually, where do I need Mrs. to help." You can take care of your body with peace of mind and give me a big fat son smoothly, which is more important than anything else. I said that your activities will be activities in the future, but you can't practice martial arts like before, just practice the boxing techniques I taught me, and safety is more important than Mount Tai. You can eat whatever you want, don't worry about money, what your husband has is money. Even if you can't eat it, you have to barely eat it......"

Guan Feng looked at Sun Shao, who was chattering like an old woman, and a burst of sweetness surged in his heart, gently leaning on Sun Shao's chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, as if everything was guaranteed, the worry in his heart gradually faded, and the nervous mood also relaxed, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

Sun Shao stroked Guan Feng's shoulder, carefully straightened out a lock of messy hair, looked at her tired and comfortable smile, his mood was as calm as the sea before the storm, he looked out the window, the wind with the smell of the sea blew in gently, with a trace of warmth, but his heart was getting colder and colder.

Guan Xiaoqing walked in with a basin of water, and saw Sun Shao holding Guan Fenglou in his arms like a child, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Young master, I'll come." ”

"It's okay, you give me the hand towel, and I'll wipe it for her."

Guan Xiaoqing hesitated, wrung out the water on the hand towel, and handed it to Sun Shao's hand, Sun Shao took it and shook it away, carefully wiped the vomit from the corner of Guan Feng's mouth, and then put her on the couch and lay it down, covered with a thin quilt. "Xiaoqing, it's hot in the south, you may not be used to it, but Madame is pregnant, you can't be too greedy, you have to remind her in time."

"Alas. Xiaoqing knows. Guan Xiaoqing nodded again and again.

"Madame has a bad appetite and may not want to eat very much, you have to persuade her more, even if she vomits after eating, it is better than not eating. It's always hard to get pregnant for the first time, and now that no one else is around, and the newly bought servants may not be easy to use, you two have to bother, you can't make a small surname like before, or I won't be able to spare you. In the end, Sun Shao's face became stern, Guan Xiaoqing and Qiao Yue, who had just walked in, glanced at each other, and quickly nodded yes. Sun Shao rarely spoke like this, and his face suddenly sank, making them very nervous.

"Okay, you guys do things, if you have any rough work and heavy work, let those boys outside do it, and you can take care of your wife with peace of mind."

"Whoa."

Shiwei is in his forties, tall and strong, not the same as the short and thin Jiaozhou natives, and he looks powerful. It has been two hundred years since the Shi family moved to Cangwu during Wang Mang's rebellion, but it is very strange that although their family has married many local female surnames in Jiaozhou, the tall figure inherited by the family has not been affected. Shi Wei's mother was a native of the South China Sea, less than six feet tall, but Shi Wei was seven feet five inches, which was tall among southerners.

With this figure, Shiwei was born with self-confidence, his father Shiwu had been dead for almost ten years, but his prestige in the South China Sea had not been affected in the slightest. If there is a bit of a pity, it is that he failed to inherit his father's position as the Taishou of the South China Sea, although Lord Thorn Shi, who led the Taishou of the South China Sea, was very polite to him, but without that seal, he still felt that it was not satisfactory.

He was a little dissatisfied with his uncle Shixie, if Shixie raised his arms and shouted, blocked the five passes, and blocked the Buqi north of the Wuling, Jiaozhou would be the world of his Shi family, and the Shi family could establish another Nanyue Kingdom, how could it be like now, and pay tribute to Sun Quan every year Horses, fine arrows and other things?

He was not in a good mood in the past two days, because he heard that although the seal of Nanhai Taishou was no longer on Buqi, it fell into Sun Shao's hands. Sun Shao? Is that the kid who is a man with his tail between his legs? Didn't he come to do business, why did he become an official again? What kind of official is not easy to do, but he is too shou in the South China Sea? Didn't Bu Qi know that this was his heart disease? What else is the Henghai General, Shi Wei felt uncomfortable when he thought of this Henghai General. He Shiwei has more than 300 ships and nearly 10,000 soldiers, accounting for nearly eighty percent of the Jiazhou Naval Division's belongings, but he is just a lieutenant general, and that kid has not grown up, but he is a general. Why? Just by virtue of his surname Sun?

Checkmate? Lao Tzu sees how many days you can do as a general. Shi Wei gritted his teeth viciously, his heavy eyebrows trembled, and he asked in a vicious voice, "What is that Henghai General doing these days?" Why hasn't you shown up? ”

Wu Yan, his close aide, frowned secretly, and said in his heart Although you are a tyrant in the South China Sea, you are a general, you are a general, and your official position is lower than that of others, if you don't go to see him, do you want him to come to see you? These words were hidden in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, he knew that Shiwei was in a bad mood these two days, who dared to guarantee that he wouldn't fan him with a big ear scraper?

"General, I heard that Sun Shao has been busy inspecting Yi City for the past two days, and he has been there for a day, talking to those Xiyi merchants about the goods."

"Yishi?" The corners of Shi Wei's mouth twitched, and he snorted disdainfully: "What can you say to those barbarians." What else? Did he go to the barracks? ”

"Didn't go." Wu Yan shook his head, "The five boats allocated to him, three hundred people, he has never gotten to get them." Perhaps, he also knew that this was just perfunctory. ”

"Hey, hey......" Shiwei grinned, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, he pulled a particularly long beard at the corner of his mouth, and said contemptuously: "That's not good, he doesn't go to the barracks, how do you know who is the head of the Jiaozhou Sailor." Yuan Xiu, prepare a generous gift, let's go invite him. ”
