Sun Shao knocked on the desk table again and again, and the monotonous sound of "tuk tuk" made Guan Feng and Sun Shangxiang's hearts beat with it, and the four eyes looked at Sun Shao without blinking. Guan Feng is worried about Guan Yu, Fancheng and Xiangyang have not yet been conquered, and there are 30,000 troops in Yu Ban, coupled with the lack of military food, Guan Yu's situation is very critical. She knew that in order to solve the danger of Yizhou, Guan Yu would absolutely refuse to retreat from Fancheng at this time, and he would definitely fight to the end. But with such an obvious disadvantage, how many chances does he have?

Sun Shangxiang is also worried, although she has no husband and wife feelings for Liu Bei, but after all, she is still a husband and wife, and once Liu Bei is defeated, Jiangdong will inevitably be difficult to survive alone, and she is inevitably anxious, otherwise she would not have rushed to come as soon as she heard the news.

"Don't be in a hurry." Sun Shao waved his hand and comforted: "The terrain of Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Cao Ying has been trapped in it for more than half a year, and he has probably reached the end of the strong crossbow, now it is up to see who can hold on." Zhuge Liang is not the kind of person who will give up easily, he still knows the situation in Jiangdong, and he must know about the fact that the grain from Jiaozhou has been transported to Jianye, and I estimate that he will send someone to ask the Supreme for support. ”

Guan Feng and Sun Shangxiang glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. After Sun Shao and Buqi joined forces to pacify Jiaozhou last year, Buqi transported a large amount of grain to Jianye, and Jianye is now not short of grain. Since the end of Zhongping, the world has been in great turmoil, only Jiaozhou has not had a major war, the population has not only not decreased, on the contrary, it has increased some, since the end of last year, Jiaozhou's grain ships have been in an endless stream, and several large warehouses in Wu County and Huiji have been full, Jiangdong is now not short of grain, and there is no problem in fighting for another two years.

"I'm worried about the war in Jingzhou." Sun Shao glanced at Guan Feng, whose face was pale, and sighed secretly, he didn't dare to go deeper, but just said with a little bit of water: "My father-in-law is an arrogant person, he will never withdraw because of Yu Ban's arrival, I believe in his ability to use soldiers, but the lack of military food will inevitably affect morale." ”

Guan Feng nodded again and again, feeling that what Sun Shao said was to the point, but in fact, she didn't know, Sun Shao was more worried that Guan Yu was in a hurry, and would ignore the current fragile alliance between Liu and Sun, and grab food. As far as he knew, Changsha County, which borders the public security, now has sufficient grain reserves -- Changsha is the front line, east of Xiangshui is the defense area of Lusu, and west of Xiangshui is the defense area of Guan Yu. If you change someone, maybe you can borrow it from Lu Su, Lu Su is not a person who doesn't know the general situation, so he will borrow a little. But Guan Yu and Sun Shao have no confidence in him, he would probably rather take it without telling him than bow his head to Lu Su and plead.

Once Guan Yu really does this, then Lu Su will not tolerate such a thing again, and once the alliance between the two sides is broken, then things will be even more difficult to handle. From the current situation, the reason why Sun Quan's eastern front has not made great progress is that he has no intention of weakening Liu Bei's strength by Cao Ying's hand.

"Auntie, don't delay, go to Jingzhou immediately, bring all our ships with you, and don't transport anything else, just transport grain."

"Transporting grain? Where did you get so much food in the eagerness? Sun Shangxiang shook his head again and again: "Guan Gong now has more than 20,000 people, and he will consume 1,200 stone of grain a day, you have to give him at least half a month's grain, that is about 20,000 stone, and there is not so much spot in the market." Moreover, if we buy a large amount of grain to move westward, someone will definitely report to him. ”

"Don't worry." Sun Shao smiled: "You take my warrant to Jingkou for a trip, and you will have food." ”

Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Shao in surprise, Sun Shao is real money, a warrant is 20,000 stone grain?

Sun Shao glanced at her: "Don't hesitate, hurry up and go back to pack up, after transporting these grains to Jingzhou, don't stop, go up the Han River, and directly transport them to Xiangyang to hand them over to Guan Gong." Solve his urgent need first. ”

"Okay." Sun Shangxiang nodded, thought about it, and asked again: "Since you have food, why don't you give a little more, this battle can't be fought for half a month." What about other beneficial states? ”

Sun Shao glanced at her angrily, this is his private food, he has food, he made 300,000 stones from Yuenan, but most of them stayed in Zhuya, he brought 100,000 stones when he set off, after two months of sailing, he only had about 50,000 stones left on hand, and he allocated 20,000 stones to Guan Yu can only be an emergency, and his more than 10,000 people also have to eat, not to mention that he has to prevent Sun Quan from jamming his neck, so he has to leave some in case of accidents.

"If it's not enough, then go to Lu Su or Sun Jiao to borrow it, you have a big face, they have to give a little. I estimate that Zhuge Liang's letter for help will soon arrive in Jianye, and when the time comes, the Supreme will naturally transport the grain over, and with my strength, I can only let him tide over the difficulties temporarily. ”

Sun Shangxiang laughed evilly, and only the ghost in his heart believes you. She didn't say much, and said a few more words, Sun Shao wrote the warrant and handed it to her, she carefully put it away, and left in a hurry.

"Yinping, don't be idle." Sun Shao patted Guan Feng's hand and said, "You hand over Ah Yu to your mother, take fifty guards and get up immediately and rush to Jingzhou by speedboat." ”

"Me?" Guan Feng didn't understand for a while.

"Well, you go to Jingzhou to find your father, tell him that the food for support will arrive soon, ask him to be calm, and at the same time send someone to answer it, and then ask him for a general's order. After I finish beating the Qingxu Water Master, I will be ordered by the Supreme to cooperate with him in attacking Fancheng. You tell him that I need Gangneung as a transit terminal, and I hope he will allow me to enter Gangneung. After asking for the order, you immediately enter Gangneung, arrange for the people and ox carts, and prepare to transport the supplies. ”

"You're going to Gangneung? Why don't you go straight to Fancheng along the Han River, it's fast and convenient. ”

"You don't understand." Sun Shao smiled and pinched Guan Feng's nose affectionately: "You just do what I say." ”

"But what if my father doesn't agree?"

"He'll agree." Sun Shao didn't want to say much, and waved his hand to signal her to do it.

Although Guan Feng was suspicious, he saw that Sun Shao was commanding Ruoding and did not look worried, so he answered, turned around and picked up his son and went to the backyard. Daqiao was a little strange when she heard it, but she didn't ask anything, she didn't understand the war, Sun Shao must have her reason for arranging it this way, she just took her grandson with her. Guan Feng kissed the child and reluctantly left. When the child saw her gone, his dark eyes rolled twice, and he grinned and drooled as he looked at the bridge. Compared with Guan Feng, who is a little anxious, Daqiao, who has a gentle surname, is the person he is most willing to get close to, and when Sun Shao is not at home, Daqiao takes care of him most of the time.

Daqiao looked at the carefree child, and suddenly remembered Sun Shao at the beginning, when she first entered Sun's house, Sun Shao was also so old, and he also looked carefree, not knowing that his parents had died one after another, and he had become an orphan. At that time, he was also very attached to Ohashi, as if Ohashi was his mother.

Daqiao hugged Ah Yu in his arms, sighed, and in a trance, he seemed to feel that Sun Shao was in his arms. She recalled the scene when Sun Shao held her in his arms and persuaded her to remarry just now, her face was a little red, and inadvertently, Sun Shao had become a big man, and the kind of masculinity on his body was very similar to Sun Ce back then, and he was a little more careful, a little more gentle, and a little more considerate care than Sun Ce.

Persuade her to remarry? He figured it out. However, he is right, he is only in his early thirties, even if he lives to be sixty years old, he still has nearly half of his life to live, can he live like this? Remarrying is not a solution, but who can she marry in her current situation? Sun quan? As soon as the name came out, Ohashi felt a little sick to his stomach, and quickly shook his head and threw the name out of his mind.

Ohashi was thinking wildly, and before he knew it, the child had fallen asleep, and the toy in his hand fell to the ground, making a "pop" sound, which woke Ohashi up. Daqiao hurriedly called Qiao Yue and asked her to take Ah Yu in to sleep, and he sat and thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled.

Let's talk to my sister tomorrow. Daqiao himself explained to himself that looking at Aman's appearance, there is probably a way to dismiss the relationship between the Zhou family and the Sun family, and if he can marry Ayu into the door, he can be regarded as a caring companion.

Early the next morning, Sun Shangxiang rushed to the capital, and Guan Feng rushed to Jingzhou with fifty personal guards. Sun Shao was not in a hurry, he didn't eat breakfast at home, and after washing, he walked to the Cheqi General's Mansion next door, Sun Quan was preparing for the war and was very busy. Sun Shao didn't look for him, he went to the backyard for a while, and saw Sun Luban, who was practicing martial arts in the morning, wearing leather armor and dancing with a long knife, and his vigorous appearance was like a little Sun Shangxiang.

"Color." Sun Shao clapped his palms.

Sun Luban turned his head and saw that it was Sun Shao, he didn't even have time to throw the knife, he pounced on him with cheers, jumped up, hugged Sun Shao's neck tightly, and wrapped his two long legs around Sun Shao's waist, she said with a smile: "Big brother, when did you come back?" ”

"I came back the day before yesterday." Sun Shao patted her little buttocks: "Come down!" The person who is about to get married, and he is not in shape at all, and he will be scolded again when his mother sees it. Watch out for your knife, don't hurt me. ”

"Hee-hee, who said I was going to get married?" Sun Luban jumped down and shook the long knife in his hand in demonstration: "Big brother is so bad, it's been two days since he came back, and he doesn't play with me." ”

"I'm busy." Sun Shao said with a smile: "Big Tiger is angry? Why don't I invite you to the big city for breakfast and confess to you? ”

When Sun Luban heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, he jumped three feet high, turned his head and ran, and said as he ran: "Okay, you wait, I'll take a shower and change into beautiful clothes." ”

"Call Lu Yuan and Lu Yu." Sun Shao shouted.

"Got it." Sun Luban's voice came from afar.

Sun Shao was waiting at the door, and Mrs. Bu came out of the room when she heard the news, and when she saw that it was him, she smiled and said, "Fengxian, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Sun Shao hurriedly saluted Mrs. Bu and explained with a smile: "I haven't been at home for a year, is my wife okay?" ”

"Okay." Mrs. Bu returned the salute with a smile: "Uncle has a book to say, thanks to you this time, I haven't thanked you yet." ”

Sun Shao shook his head: "Thank you, Bu Yuanjun and I are both uncle's courtiers, and we should work together, this is our duty as courtiers." Besides, it's also my honor to work with Bu Zhijun. I also benefited a lot from his guidance. ”

Mrs. Bu looked at Sun Shao appreciatively. Sun Shao has been out of office for more than a year, and now he is eight feet tall, with a strong physique, and a little more calm, like a personable young man. What makes her even more appreciative is that although Sun Shao is now a general, he is not born with the children of Dahu, not only does he often let people bring them some novel gifts, but he also comes to play with them in his spare time, which is much more easy-going than those teenagers who are reserved as soon as they become officials.

"You want to take the big tiger out?"

"I haven't seen you for a year, I miss my brothers and sisters very much, and I want to take them out for a walk while I still have some time, and I ask my wife for permission." Sun Shao said respectfully. "I didn't see Ardennes, did you already study?"

Mrs. Bu nodded: "Yes, since last year, he has been accompanied by Zhuge Ke and started to study, this child works very hard, he gets up before dawn, and he must not have rested at this time." ”

Sun Shao pouted secretly. Sun Quan is so attentive, I think he trained Sun Deng as a prince, and the eleven-year-old child is so hard-working, this childhood is really not interesting at all. However, Sun Deng's surname is also a slow surname, and he doesn't dare to resist Sun Quan.

"Fengxian, since you are back, I have something to entrust to you." Mrs. Bu said with some embarrassment.

"Madam, please speak, as long as it can be done, I will naturally work hard to do it." Sun Shaoyi said without hesitation.

Seeing that he answered briskly, Mrs. Bu was very satisfied, and she hesitated for a moment: "Dahu is spoiled by me and is not very obedient. She is ten years old this year, and she should get married in two or three years, and this female worker or something should also learn, but she only likes to dance and play with swords, and she loses her temper as soon as she learns female workers, which is not a matter after all. When I talk about her, she doesn't listen, I want to think about it, that is, you can say a few words about her. You see......"

Sun Shao smiled, nodded again and again, and said, "Madame, don't worry, if the opportunity is right, I will definitely persuade my sister." ”

"Alas, I'm ashamed that my daughter can't be taught by herself, but wants to bother you."

"Where did Madame say this, when I was a child, I also learned a lot from my uncle and wife, they were all a family, why bother to divide it too clearly." Sun Shao said politely. The two were talking, Sun Luban rushed out of it like a gust of wind, Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu hurriedly followed behind, running angrily, with a healthy flush on their little faces, when they saw Sun Shao, they all smiled shyly, bowed, and their crisp voices were as beautiful as a yellow bird: "Big brother." ”

"Big brother, let's go, don't nag with my mother, she won't stop for a long time as soon as she says it." Sun Luban took Sun Shao's hand and walked out. Mrs. Bu sank her face, but she didn't have time to get angry, Sun Luban was already about to go out. Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu saluted a little stiffly, and hurriedly walked out of the backyard door in small steps, until Mrs. Bu couldn't see it, then she lifted her skirt and ran away.

Mrs. Bu had no choice but to arrange for someone to follow her.

When passing by the front yard, Sun Shao grabbed Sun Luban, pointed to the lobby of Sun Quan's office and said, "Big Tiger, go and see quietly, is the one named Lu Yi there?" Be careful, don't let you see it, or don't blame me if you can't get out. ”

Sun Luban understood and entered the courtyard seriously. Lang Zhong on duty in the courtyard knew her, and no one dared to mess with her, she obediently walked to the small room next to the lobby, took a look, and saw that Lu Yi was not among them, and pulled a Lang Zhong next to her and asked, saying that Lu Yi was resting today, so she quietly withdrew and told Sun Shao.

Sun Shao didn't say anything, and took them out of the door, the carriage was already ready, and went straight to the big city. When he arrived in the big city, he went directly to Lu Yi's restaurant. When the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw that it was him, and then saw that the few little girls around him were all Sun Quan's daughters, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly let them into the private room.

"Pick what you're good at." Sun Shao was not polite, and directly ordered: "These little pigs in my family may eat them." ”

Sun Luban laughed, rubbed his hands and said, "Since the eldest brother said so, then I'm not welcome." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and went down to arrange, and after a while, all kinds of steaming snacks came up like water. Sun Luban rolled up his sleeves and chewed according to the case, Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu were relatively much shy, carefully carrying the snack to their mouths with an ivory chopstick, taking a small bite very quietly, looking at each other, and showing a happy smile. Of course, the food in the Cheqi General's Mansion will not be bad, but the food every day is those, which will inevitably make people annoying, and there are many rules when eating, they are not as presumptuous as Sun Luban, they must pay attention to "eat silently, do not show teeth", how can they be as comfortable as now.

After a while, the shopkeeper pushed open the door and gestured to Sun Shao with his eyes. Sun Shao nodded, and said to Sun Luban, who was full of oil: "You eat slowly, there are still a lot of good things here, I'll come when I go." ”

Sun Luban's mouth was full, and she couldn't spare time to speak, so she waved her hand with a big grin, signaling Sun Shao to take care of herself.

Sun Shao went out of the door, and the shopkeeper was waiting outside the door, and he didn't speak, leading him to a hidden private room, pushing open the door, and Lu Yi was standing on the side of the door to greet him. Sun Shao entered the door, and the shopkeeper pulled the door open and quietly left.

"Sun Jun." Lu Yi bowed and invited Sun Shao to take a seat. Sun Shao was also not polite and sat down on the upper seat. Lu Yi sat in the lower seat, made tea with his own hands and brought it to Sun Shao, and then sat quietly on the side.

Sun Shao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, praised it, put the teacup on the table, and looked at Lu Yi with a smile: "How is Bo Dao lately?" ”

Lu Yi smiled: "Thank you for the general's concern, Lu Yi is living very safely." ”

Sun Shao looked at him quietly, and after a while, he asked: "I see a lot of new faces in the house, some of them seem to be from Wu County, and there seem to be a lot of Zhu, Zhang, and Gu Lu's families." ”

The corners of Lu Yi's eyes jumped, and he was silent for a moment: "It was just recommended by Zhu Fujun (Zhu Zhi) last year, and they are all talents from Wu County." ”

"The talent of Wu County? How about Brother Hiro? ”

Lu Yi smiled: "Lu Yi is a dull person, how dare you compare with them, please don't make fun of the general." ”

Sun Shao sighed and shook his head regretfully: "It's because I'm sorry for Bodao." ”

Lu Yi looked at Sun Shao with some surprise, he couldn't be promoted in Sun Quan's mansion for a long time, on the one hand, he was too shrewd and had a poor relationship with his colleagues, and on the other hand, because he was not from a big family, what does this have to do with Sun Shao?

"The two people who crossed the river with me at the beginning, Gan Pi almost died in the Huiji Shipyard, Brother Lu is talented, but he has not been promoted for a long time, it is all my fault."

Lu Yi's heart swelled with excitement, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "The general said that he was laughing, this is my shallow and ugly nature, and it has nothing to do with the general." It is my fortunate to be able to accompany the general to cross the river and see the heroism of the general. I, Lu Yi, have never regretted it. ”

"Bodao is a generous person." Sun Shao sighed regretfully: "But I don't want to go." Bo Dao, I came here today because I have something I want to discuss with you. ”

Lu Yi was suddenly a little restrained. Sun Shao has become a thorn in Sun Quan's heart in the past two years, and anyone who has anything to do with him is not good. He couldn't be promoted for a long time, and there was no reason for it. If Sun Shao has something for him to do, he really has to think about it. Sun Shao now has the strength, Sun Shao doesn't dare to move him easily, but once he Lu Yi has the move to join Sun Shao, Sun Quan wants his Lu Yi's surname to be a matter of moving his fingers. This is related to his net worth and surname, and he can't be cautious. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "General, please command." ”

Sun Shao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Lu Yi. Lu Yi glanced at it and involuntarily held his breath. There were only a few words on it, but he understood at a glance that it was the recipe for the new wine.

"General, what are you?" Lu Yi stammered a little.

"Don't tell me anything, I made a small fortune outside, and now I don't bother to earn this wine money of dozens or hundreds of gold every year." Sun Shao laughed: "The wine shop in Wu County, I gave it to my fourth uncle's surviving person last year. The winery in Jianye is my aunt's property, and I am not easy to decide, in addition to the markets in these two places, there are about seven counties, and I will give them to you together, which can be regarded as a little heart. ”

"It's not going to be done." Lu Yi didn't think about it, and hurriedly excused himself. These seven counties are nearly 300 gold a year, which is not a small amount. As the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short, Sun Shao suddenly gave him such a big gift, and the things that asked him to do so must not be small.

"Don't worry." Sun Shao pressed Lu Yi's hand and smiled confidently: "I'm tired of Bodao, I'm very sorry not to go, this is a little bit of my heart." Don't worry about Bo Dao, although some young people say that I am not in front of the Supreme, but I am behaving properly and standing upright, and I also believe that the Supreme will not believe those slanderous rumors, so I don't need to work Brother Lu for anything. If Bodao is willing to hand it over to me as a friend, you can accept it, the gentleman is frank, and the villain is often a relative, I don't want to push back and forth with Bodao. ”

(To be continued)
