"A toast to you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sun Shao raised his glass and smiled at Fan Man, who was standing at the door of the cabin, with angry eyebrows: "Respectable enemy." ”

"The prisoner under the stairs can't afford the king's gift." Fan Man snorted coldly and turned his head. After being captured by Sun Shaosheng, Sun Shao ignored him and locked him up in a prisoner camp for half a month, just asking the doctor to treat him. He is sick physically, but more importantly, he has a heart disease, he has been in the sea for 30 years, and it has been nearly 20 years since he became the king, Fan Man never thought that he would be captured by his life one day. Fan Changbing was defeated, he was also defeated, and now only Fan Jinsheng of Temu City remains, Fan Jinsheng has long been a defeated general under Sun Shao, he doesn't dare to expect Fan Jinsheng to be able to defend Temu City and Funanguo.

The powerful Funan Kingdom perished, and Fan Man's life's hard work was also in vain, which made the already old Fan Man how could he withstand this blow. In the face of Sun Shao's calmness, all he felt was humiliation and anger.

"You know what?" Sun Shao was not angry, "Maybe there is really providence, thirty years ago, my Han was also war-torn and divided, the current Wei King Cao Gong started with 5,000 soldiers, more than ten years of southern conquest and northern war, from an inconspicuous general to become the king of Wei, the West, Severus as a governor raised troops, three or four years ago, swept away the heroes, became the emperor of Great Qin, and created the Severu Dynasty. Although you can't compare with them, in the past few decades, you have conquered the east and west, expanded five or six thousand miles, destroyed the country for nineteen, and created the Fan dynasty, which can be regarded as a hero. ”

Fan Man was inexplicable, he knew a little about Cao Ying and Severu, especially Cao Ying, he used to think that Cao Ying would be able to dominate the Han Dynasty, and he was a little more familiar with his situation, but now Sun Shao compared him with Cao Ying and Severu, but he didn't know what it meant. He squinted his eyes, thought for a while, suddenly realized, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Whether it's Cao Gong, or Severus, I'm the dead, the old, the old, and now it's the world of young people like the king. Duke Cao and His Royal Highness are called kings side by side, and the old man is your prisoner, I don't know if the king has the ambition to go to Daqin and compete with the descendants of Severus. ”

Sun Shao glanced at him in surprise, couldn't help laughing, he shook his head: "Why do you provoke me? You can be regarded as knowing the knowledge of my Han people, the Lord will not raise a teacher because of anger, and will not cause war because of anger, you will not understand this principle, right? Although I am young, I am not an impulsive hairy boy, and your set is useless to me. ”

Fan Man frowned, and sighed secretly, he had read Sun Tzu's Art of War, of course he knew what this meant. It's a pity that he couldn't do this, perhaps, his opponents are too weak, he just applied the most simple truth in Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he can easily beat them to the ground, and play a triumphant song, but the attainments of the king of Yue in front of him in the art of war are not comparable to those kings of small countries. Sun Shao was ambushed by him in Meng'ang Bay, it stands to reason that he should be angry and anxious to take revenge, in that case he will definitely go ashore to pursue, and the result must be right in his ambush circle, but Sun Shao did not do this, he waited peacefully, let the most important part of his plan fail, and then planned to enter Dunsun City before them, completely disrupting his plan.

"I heard that you don't follow the doctor's instructions and don't take your medicine well?" Sun Shao said unhurriedly: "Can't you swallow this breath and want to die?" ”

"What is the difference between an old man who is over sixty years old, a few more years to live, and a few years less?" Fan Man sneered: "If you want to use me as a threat and take my son to surrender, I'm afraid you think too much." ”

Sun Shao smiled disdainfully and looked at Fan Man calmly: "It seems that you still don't understand what I mean by leaving your old life." ”

Fan Man snorted and turned his head.

"Without you, I wouldn't be able to take the Special Pastoral City?" Sun Shao added a glass of wine to himself, neither angry nor begging, his tone was as calm as if he was talking to a neighbor, "Changshan and Jinchen fought two battles, there were 40,000 soldiers alone, and the elite of Funan has been lost, and most of your dozens of subject countries have become my subject countries, and now there is only one special herd city left." Okay, I'm full of calculations, that's 20,000 people, 100 elephants, do you think you can defend the city in this way? ”

Sun Shao squinted his eyes at Fan Man, his eyes were full of sarcasm. Fan Man was speechless, he sadly found that Sun Shao was right, with Fan Jinsheng's ability and the power in his hands, it was impossible for him to hold the Special Mu City, even if he could support it for half a year and a year? The country of Funan has fallen apart, and there is no way to return to heaven. Sun Shao's tricks are endless, and even he is not his opponent, and Fan Jinsheng is even more impossible.

"If you want to die, I don't object to it, but the Fan family will be desperate from now on." Sun Shao raised his head slightly, although he was sitting and Fan Man was standing, it seemed that he was condescending and imposing. "I promise you, you won't be alone, first of all, Fan Chang will accompany you soon, and secondly, after the special herd city is broken, Fan Jinsheng will also catch up with you, as for your wives and grandchildren, I promise that there will be no shortage of one."

"You-" Fan Man was so angry that his lips trembled for a moment before he said hatefully: "You Han people say that God has the virtue of a good life, and if I am defeated, I will be defeated, why do you want to kill my Fan family?" ”

"If you refuse to turn enemies into friends with me, why should I leave a curse?" Sun Shao asked puzzledly: "Haven't you heard that if you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again?" The sage Lei Gong once said that we should treat our friends as warmly as the spring breeze, and treat our enemies as cold and ruthless as winter. ”

"Lei Gong?" Fan Man was really thundered, he had read some books somewhat, why had he never heard of a Lei Gong? The culture of the Han people is really broad and profound, and what they know is just a drop in the ocean.

Sun Shao looked at him expressionlessly, with a bit of sympathy in his serious eyes. Fan Man didn't get entangled in the matter of which Lei Gong was, he looked at Sun Shao, and from Sun Shao's eyes, he felt that the famous words of Lei Gong that Sun Shao had just relayed were not for fun, if he insisted on seeking death, this King of Yue might really let his family go down to accompany him.

"What do you want?" Fan Man's tone softened significantly.

"Write a letter and ask Fan Jinsheng to surrender and avoid a big war, maybe it will save the lives of tens of thousands of people, and your Fan family will accumulate yin virtue. Your Brahma god will bless you, I," Sun Shao pointed to his heart, "Although I don't believe in any Brahma god, I will also thank you for the countless Li people." Three thousand households, except for the special pastoral city, you can choose a fief by yourself, how about it? ”

Fan Man was silent for a long time, and finally nodded weakly: "Grateful." With Sun Shao's consent, he slowly exited the cabin, his steps heavy as if they had been filled with lead. Escaping death and 3,000 households did not bring him any joy for the rest of his life, on the contrary, he felt a heavy humiliation. Once upon a time, he was also proud of the heroes of the world, but now he has to accept the charity of a descendant.

Thirty years ago, when he was still young, he would definitely fight to the death when he encountered this situation, and would never accept Sun Shao's alms, but not now, he is old, and it is not a pity for him to die by himself, but he can't take the whole family to die, he can't be reckless and bring disaster to the Fan family.

Fan Man walked on the springboard, his feet were so soft, looking at the sea water under the springboard, he wanted to jump into the sea more than once, and knew his life, but he didn't dare, he didn't want the family to get together in hell. He stood on the gangway for a long time, slowly walked across the gangplank, and returned to his cabin, and before the soldiers guarding him could turn around and leave, he could no longer hold on, his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground softly, and the old tears were all over the place.

"King—" Fan Ru hugged him nervously and shouted loudly.

"You don't have to worry, he can rest for a while, you come and go with me to get the medicine, take two pairs of medicines, and he will be fine." The soldier who escorted Fan Man back said calmly, and beckoned a little impatiently: "Hurry up, we have a lot of things to do, and we don't have time to talk to you here." ”

Fan Ru didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly arranged for someone to follow him to get the medicine, looking at Fan Man's heartbroken appearance, he didn't know what was going on, and he was able to accompany Fan Man to tears.

Cui Qian watched Fan Man walk out with his body bent, knowing that Temu City was about to go down without a fight, his heart was also full of joy, and he said with some envy: "King, you are kind enough to him, if he is still not satisfied, it is really damned." ”

Sun Shao glanced at him with a smile: "Jianzhong, the South China Sea has been decided, you can talk about it, do you want to live in peace and stability?" Or do you want to continue to fight with me? If you have ever thought about stability, I will let you be the governor of the South China Sea, the new sea area is vast, I need a trustworthy and capable person to guard it, you are a suitable candidate. If you still want to follow me to fight, I will choose another governor of the South Sea, and you will continue to be the general of the left, but the defense area will be transferred to the Andaman Sea and stationed in Dunsun Harbor. ”

"King, do you want to go to war with Tianzhu?" Cui Qian raised his eyebrows, and his excitement overflowed: "If I want to start a war with Tianzhu, I would rather be General Zuo and drive for the king, if there is no war to fight, hehehe, I will be the governor of the South China Sea for a few days first, and guard the South China Sea for the king." ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Shao laughed, pointed at Cui Qian and laughed: "Jianzhong, you are cunning and big, you don't want to fall into any benefits." Tianzhu, I don't have any ideas for the time being, after all, I need time to digest such a large place as Funan, and I don't have three or five years, I'm afraid that people's hearts won't be able to accept it. It's just that after Funan arrived, we were directly face-to-face with Tianzhu, we didn't want to fight, and people might not be able to let us recuperate in peace, so this preparation still has to be done. ”

"Then I'll be General Zuo." Cui Qian patted his chest and said with a smug smile: "I'm only in my thirties, it's too early to retire, fight with the king for twenty years, and then it's not too late to tease Sun." ”

Sun Shao glanced at him and couldn't help but smile: "Some people are right, you are a militant, I am afraid that the world will be peaceful." ”

"Who knows me so well, I'd treat him to a drink or two." Cui Qian laughed triumphantly.

Sun Shao smiled slightly: "By the way, you discuss with the generals and report the list of meritorious personnel as soon as possible." This time I won Funan, my pocket is bulging, and the territory is also bigger, so I want to reward the soldiers who fought with me bloodily. ”

"Whoa." Cui Qian was overjoyed, got up and answered, and went out in a hurry. He told the news to the generals, everyone was overjoyed, they followed Sun Shao to fight for thousands of miles, in order to seal his wife and son, Sun Shao has always been not thin on them, whether it is fame or fortune, never treat them badly, but there has been no fief, so far, among the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, it is Cui Qian who has won the fief. Now that Sun Shao said that he was going to prepare a reward, how could they not be excited.

"Alas-" Yue Hai sighed: "Lao Cui, you are still lucky, you have followed the king twice, you have the opportunity to go into battle, I am ashamed, it is easy to follow the king out for a trip, but I am just watching, not an inch of success, this time I don't know how many people to be ranked up, I really can't help my brothers, follow me to suffer." ”

"Hahaha......" Cui Qian was very proud, pointed at Yue Hai and said: "I said earlier that you and Chen Hai only have chest hair and no ambitions, you just don't believe it." My old Cui is so wise, I know that there must be a battle with the king, so I have no other thoughts. The early bird gets the worm, don't you understand? ”

"Are you embarrassed?" Yue Hai was a little hung up by what he said, stood up, pointed at Cui Qian's nose and scolded with a smile: "It's okay, while everyone is here, we will judge the theory." Didn't the king give me a chance? I went all the way to reinforcements, you big pirate is good, let Lao Tzu watch from the sidelines, you alone swallowed Fan Jinsheng's 8,000 people, and said wildly, saying that the king is coming, you have to watch from the sidelines, you say, are you bullying us? This time in Dunsun City, why didn't you let the king look at it, you were embarrassed, you watched it in the city, and you actually let the king put himself in danger, you courtier did a good job. ”

Everyone was also a little dissatisfied with Yue Hai's words, especially Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi, Sun Shao arranged for them to follow Cui Qian on the expedition, but Cui Qian basically let them watch the play on the sidelines, and the opportunities for meritorious service were all occupied by his Cui family, and now Cui Yan and Cui Wu have made meritorious contributions and been promoted, but they have hardly moved. Wei Wen is okay, this time he has made a meritorious contribution to the sea, and it is expected that he will be added to the rank of knight, but Zhuge Zhi is still a general, although he does not like to fight with others, but his face can't help but show indignation.

Cui Qian saw that he had become the target of public criticism, and he couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed, he retorted with a smile: "I said Lao Yue, you're not right, you're unlucky, you can't put the blame on my head." ”

"I don't blame you, who do you blame?" Yue Hai rolled his eyes, pointed to the people sitting around him and said loudly: "You let everyone talk about it, who else here can be as domineering as you?" Let Lao Tzu a rear general show you the enemy's array, you really ate bear heart and leopard gall. Wait and see, I'm going to ask the king anyway to let me command you. Lao Tzu also played a game of eating alone, so that you could watch from the side. ”

The crowd laughed. Cui Qian laughed and fell, he comforted Yue Hai while saying, "Everyone, everyone, it's not my old Cui who sells the old." As for you, don't be in a hurry, to be honest, this time though...... Ah, don't say it, don't say it, I admit that my old Cui has some bad habits of eating alone, and I will correct it next time. If you want me to say this, don't worry. What kind of person is the king, he knows people, which is rare in ancient times. King Wei claims to be good at employing people, but compared with our king, it is far behind. Not to mention anything else, when Deng Ai and Shi Bao first entered the king's account, which of you took them seriously? But you look at it now, Deng Ai is the deputy envoy of Xuanhua, thousands of people out of Borneo, in a few months, people have taken Borneo and a large area of sea, countless islands, conquered hundreds of large and small barbarian countries, Shi Bao is good at maneuvering, and deceived that Fan Xun to turn around, this time to take Funan, he is a meritorious minister, in terms of meritorious deeds, he must be in front. You are all great talents, are you still afraid of the day when you will not be promoted to the rank of knight under the king? ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

"Alas, that's right, if you want me to say, don't have any complaints, discuss the merits of this time calmly, the king will not treat you badly." Cui Qian took the lead and took the lead: "Lao Yue, you are also an old minister, you have read a book for a few days, which sage said it, don't complain about the sky, don't worry about people, you remember me every day, that's not right." ”

"Your mother's, what you do, Lao Tzu can't say?" Yue Hai widened his eyes and roared, looking like he was going to rush up desperately. Cui Qian was startled and hurriedly apologized, and when everyone saw it, there was another burst of laughter.

Half a month later, Sun Shao arrived at the city of Te Mu, Fan Jinsheng had already received Fan Man's handwritten letter, and saw the depressed Fan Man with his own eyes, weighed his weight, and knew that it was not Sun Shao's opponent, so he had to surrender to the city.

Sun Shaobing was bloodless, settled in Temu City, and the Funan Kingdom was declared extinct, Sun Shao sent people to various places to issue announcements, announcing that the burden of the people would be further reduced on the basis of Fan Man's rent reduction and tax reduction, and at the same time, the policy of enriching the people implemented in the Yue Kingdom began to be replicated in Funan as appropriate. The people didn't care much about who would be the king, but now that Sun Shao gave them benefits, of course they couldn't ask for it. Funan is originally fertile, three crops a year is a normal phenomenon, even if Fan Man harvested the weight, the people can support themselves for a hard year, of course, want to live a good life is also a little delusional. Now that Sun Shao is here, he has reduced the rent, and at the same time bought the rice they can't eat at the market price, which is equivalent to increasing their income in disguise, with money, they can improve their lives, no longer just food and clothing, the people are of course overjoyed, not only did they not oppose Sun Shao to be their king, but also regretted that he had not come until now.

Sun Shao quickly pacified Funan, he rushed to Temu City with Guan Feng and others, and on the other hand, he wrote to the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, and reported to the Son of Heaven. Of course, it is inevitable to take such a large place, give some bribes to the Son of Heaven, give some gifts, and everyone will rejoice - along with the delivery of the report, there is also a thick gift list.

In August, Guan Feng led the army to Temu City, and Xie Jing came with her. After Xie Jing expressed Sun Deng's kindness to Sun Shao, he told him bad news.

Jiaolu Taishou Shixie didn't know whether he wanted to make meritorious service to atone for his sins, or if he had been in peace for too long, he thought about it, he got in touch with Yonghong, a wealthy family in Yizhou, and actually lured Yonghong to kidnap Yizhou Taishou Zhang Yi, and sent it to Jiaolu with a seal ribbon. Shi Xie was eager to make contributions, and he didn't discuss it with Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Lu Dai, and sent people directly to Jianye.

This can provoke the hornet's nest, because of poor health, Liu Bei, who has been recuperating in Chengdu, was furious when he heard this, and immediately recalled Guan Yu, the general who was arguing with Cao Zhi and others, and asked him to lead the army to conquer Eastern Wu. Guan Yu originally stayed in Hanzhong, and was ordered to discuss with Cao Zhi and the envoy sent by the Son of Heaven about the Wei Shu coalition army's expedition to Xiliang, because Wei Shu had no sincerity, and although the Son of Heaven had thoughts, his strength was too poor and he was not good at speaking, so there had been no progress. Guan Yu was very angry because of this, and as soon as he received Liu Bei's order, he immediately rushed back to Chengdu to deploy the war. When Sun Deng was preparing to fight with Fan Chang, he asked Sun Quan for reinforcements, but Sun Quan never replied, just because Buqi wanted to guard Changsha and couldn't get out at all.

Now they have received news that the Shu general Guan Yu led an army of 50,000 and has rushed to Jiangling, accompanied by the captain of Si Li, the former general Zhang Fei, the left general Zhao Yun, the rear general Li Yan, the general Xiang Zhong of Zhengdong, and the general Wei Yan of Huwei.

Sun Quan didn't dare to slack off, on the one hand, he ordered Buqi to move north, and on the other hand, he ordered Sun Huan, Quan Cong, Pan Zhang and others to dispatch, and even Lu Su, who had been recuperating in Jianye, was invited out. Lü Meng had died of illness two years ago, and now Lu Su was the most prestigious general under Sun Quan's account, but considering that his health was not very good, Sun Quan then rushed to Chaisang to supervise the battle, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out. In order to increase the chances of victory, Sun Quan sent an urgent order to Sun Deng, asking him to immediately lead the army to Guiyang and rush to Changsha to help in the battle once Fan Chang was settled.

Sun Shao frowned when he heard this, and scolded Shixie hundreds of times in his heart, this old man is in his nineties, and he has not been restless, what are you doing, can Sun Quan get Yizhou in this way? Liu Bei is really, he actually wants to go to war with great fanfare for this matter, do you send a messenger to say that people will die? If you have to make a lot of trouble, it's good to make a mess of the good situation that you have worked so hard to manage. It seems that not letting him die in Yiling is not necessarily a good thing.

"What are your prince's plans?" Sun Shaoqiang pressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked coldly.

"The prince is being ordered to rush back to Changsha, of course, the prince is not in favor of starting a war because of such a trivial matter, after all, the war is together, there are many casualties, and the world has just restored peace, and the people have just passed a few days, and it is really not a good time to start a war at this time. But ......" Xie Jing hesitated: "The commander of the Shu army is General Guan, and the prince hopes that the king can send someone to contact General Guan and ask him to make a little concession for the sake of the common people in the world when necessary." ”

"Concessions? What concessions to make? He's afraid that our son-in-law will join forces, right? Sun Shao pursed his lips. Sun Deng's meaning is probably not to want him to meddle in this matter, with the strength of Yue Guo and Guan Feng's status in Yue Guo, Guan Yu is likely to send someone to jointly attack Wu State with him, maybe the envoy is on the way now, Sun Deng said hello in advance, just hoping that he would stay out of the matter and not be a black hand behind his back.

Xie Jing nodded awkwardly.
