Chapter 12 Decoupling
"Sit." Sun Quan pointed to the opposite with the brush in his hand, and said without raising his head, every time Sun Shao saw him, he was like this, as if there were always unfinished official duties and people to see.
"Supreme." As soon as Sun Shao opened his mouth, he pleaded guilty, and said with regret: "I messed up the matter and was pitted by the old thief." β
Sun Quan didn't raise his head, just raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and immediately returned to the book, and said with a smile while writing in a hurry: "Now you know the depth." You Aman, you can't fight that Aman. β
Sun Shao's heart suddenly moved, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and then he responded honestly: "Yes, I saw the drawing of the thunderbolt at that time, and I was too anxious, so I answered him." β
"Did you see the drawings?" Sun Quan was a little surprised. When Lu Yi reported to him, he just said that Sun Shao wanted to change the drawings, but he didn't change them later. Sun Quan has also heard of this thunderbolt for a long time, and he is quite moved, but he is far more realistic than Sun Shao, and knows that this kind of sharp weapon is impossible to give people easily, and Cao Quan is ** in the pit of Sun Shao.
"Well, I see. Liu Ye grabbed it in his hand at the time, and he asked me for the recipe for wine, and I ...... I didn't want to give it to him. β
Sun Quan didn't speak, put down the pen in his hand, picked up a hand towel in a lacquer plate next to him and wiped his hands, then pinched a piece of cake and took a bite, chewing it slowly, his eyes flashing, as if he was thinking about something important. It wasn't until he finished eating the cake that he smiled thoughtfully: "I have long heard that Cao Ying has an elusive spy team under him, and it really deserves its reputation, and he actually found out about the new wine in such a short time." Bongxian, you did the right thing, and you would rather not have this thunderbolt than give him a new wine recipe. β
Sun Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous look on his face disappeared slightly. Sun Quan saw it in his eyes and smiled faintly: "What, I'm afraid I'll blame you?" β
Sun Shao touched his head and said with some regret: "I think it's a pity, if you can exchange the thunderbolt car and set up a few planes on the dock, it will be more certain to hold the dock in the future." β
"The Whisker Dock is impregnable."
"I feel hanging." Sun Shao pursed his lips and said with some concern: "Cao Junjun is a lot of people, and there are talents like Liu Ye, and his attack power is very sharp. Although I didn't go into the dock to check, I just passed by, but I saw a lot of damage on the dock wall. Although the Qingxu Sailor is not as good at fighting as my Jiangdong Sailor, it should not be underestimated. If the Qingxu Sailor was to load a thunderbolt or a crossbow on a warship, it would not be easy to defend the dock. β
"Loading the Thunderbolt onto the warship?" Sun Quan chuckled, feeling that it was a little impossible, but when he thought about it, it was indeed scary enough to load the thunderbolt car on the big ship. He raised his eyebrows, and he was a little regretful, if Sun Shao could change to the drawings of the Thunderbolt this time, then it would be much more reliable to make a few and place some on the Whisker Dock than loading the Thunderbolt on the warship. He moved his hand and wanted to call someone, but then he dismissed his mind again. He coughed: "Feng Xian, let's talk about this matter later, it's nothing to let the old thief live a few more days, he is over the age of six, but he has no head, and he doesn't have a few years to live." After 30 years of fighting, there will be more or less old injuries on his body, and as soon as he has an attack, it will be difficult for him. This time, you defeated Zhang Liao, which greatly boosted the morale of our army, and now the sergeants and soldiers of the army regard you as a hero, although Gan Xingba didn't say it, but I can see that he still values you a lot. β
Sun Shao smiled innocently, both a little complacent and a little shy. Sun Quan looked a little funny, and then said: "If you have made meritorious service, you have to reward it, you say, how I want to reward you." β
Sun Shao's eyes lit up: "Follow me?" β
Sun Quan stared at his eyes and nodded, "Say whatever you want." β
Sun Shao despised it in his heart, and said in his heart, you really think I am a fool, I want to say leading the soldiers, you must have other reasons, since everyone is acting, let's play a full set, although I have not experienced as much as you, but my acting talent is much stronger than yours. He pretended to be very excited, rubbed his hands, thought for a moment, and then said a little unconfidently: "I want boats, many, many boats." β
"Boats? How many boats? Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief quietly, revealing a playful smile: "Shall I give you a sailor?" β
"Don't." Sun Shao shook his head without thinking: "I want a ship that can load cargo, of course, I have to have two warships, otherwise I won't have the power to fight back when I encounter water thieves." β
"Still want to do business?" Sun Quan laughed out loud. What he was most worried about was that Sun Shao was going to lead the troops, and Sun Shao showed his skills in front of the battle this time, and his prestige in the army suddenly increased a lot. Now that he said that he still had to do business, he was relieved, although he also wanted two warships, but this was not a big deal for Sun Quan.
"yes." Sun Shao took out the bamboo talisman as if offering a treasure: "As long as I have a boat, I can do business without paying taxes in the world." β
Sun Quan stretched out his hand to take the talisman and looked at it, but he was a little surprised, he didn't expect Sun Shao to be able to get this, it seems that Cao Shao also values Sun Shao quite a lot. He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "In this way, your five hundred stone wine was not given away in vain. β
"Hahaha......" Sun Shao laughed, looking a little carried away, "How can I give them wine for nothing?" This time, as soon as they let them drink it, the next time they drink other wine, it will be tasteless, and when the time comes, they will have to give whatever price I want, and I will take back thousands of times the price of the five hundred stones. β
"Shaft." Sun Quan smiled and scolded lightly: "It turns out that you have this in mind." No wonder, it's my wine that was sent, and the money you earn back is yours. That's not good, when the time comes, count me as a share, this is my investment. As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh. went to the worry in his heart, his expression was much more natural, and looking at Sun Shao who was dancing with flying eyebrows, he was both happy and a little regretful. Alas, it's all this power, if he wasn't the lord of Jiangdong, he wouldn't worry about Sun Shao coming to seize this position, why would their uncles and nephews be so defensive of each other, maybe how cordial it would be. Sun Shao is cheerful and very interesting, from Mrs. Bu, Mrs. Yuan to several children like him very much, he also likes Sun Shao, but there are scruples in the middle, and he always feels a little unnatural.
Sun Shao patted his chest with a big grin: "Uncle, don't worry, these five hundred stone wine is worth about fifty gold, and when I get to Liaodong, I will buy two BMW horses for my uncle and come back, and I will definitely satisfy my uncle." β
"That's settled." Sun Quan laughed, and for a moment seemed to put aside the contradictions between them: "You can rest assured to do business, don't worry about your family, I will take care of you." β
"My mother is at home, accompanied by my aunt, but I am not lonely, if there is anything that cannot be solved, I naturally have to ask my uncle to help. As for Yinping, I have to take it with me, those guards of the Guan family listen to her more, and she is used to water warfare, and she is much easier to command than me. Sun Shao looked a little angry: "Damn, they all served my bowls, but they didn't treat me as the master yet." β
Sun Quan hesitated for a moment and nodded. Sun Shao is not leading troops, so there is no need to keep too many hostages, besides, it may not be a good thing that Guan Feng is not at home.
The two said a few words of mischievousness, and Sun Quan said casually: "Do you see that Cao Ying's army is coming from afar this time, do you mean resolutely?" β
Sun Shao shook his head: "In my opinion, he is just making a show this time, I'm afraid it is the mountain of Jiangdong, but the tigers of Yecheng and Luoyang are in the town." In addition, he hesitated to establish an heir, and his mind was never in Jiangdong. β
Sun Quan thought for a moment, nodded secretly, and the big stone pressed in his heart was a little looser. The battle ahead was too aggrieved, and although he had a wet beard, he still didn't have enough confidence.
"However, the Supreme must not be sloppy." Sun Shao reminded again: "Since he has gone on the expedition, of course, he must have some results, and he may not have the intention of showing his authority and forcing the Supreme to bow his head." Only by letting the Supreme bow his head can he free up his forces and go all out to capture Hanzhong. β
Sun Quan's eyes flashed, he stroked the purple hair under his chin, hesitated for a moment and said, "You mean, he will attack for a while?" β
"I guess it will." Sun Shao scratched his head and smiled, looking a little unconfident: "Since you are here, of course you have to try it with all your might." In case one day is lucky, just like he won Hanzhong, it is not impossible. People always have a fluke mentality. β
"Reasonable." Sun Quan nodded slowly, and glanced at Sun Shao with a complicated look, with both appreciation and regret. Although Sun Shao is only experiencing the war for the first time, his analysis of the battle situation is quite reasonable, and there are many things that he thinks secretly, and he is not inferior to many generals who have been fighting for many years. If it weren't for the fact that his identity was too special, he would have been trained by his side for a few years, how could he not be a fierce general comparable to Lu Meng and Jiang Qin, what a pity. Such good material, but it can only be idle. Fortunately, he has grown recently, and he can still understand his hard work, and he is not as reckless as before, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with.
Sun Quan sighed for a while, sighed secretly, picked up the pen again, and made a gesture of sending off the guest: "Then so be it, I will immediately ask someone to prepare an official document for you, and allocate ten merchant ships and two warships to you." Go to the inspector and get the ship yourself. He sighed, and said with some envy: "You are at ease from now on, you can sleep every day until you wake up naturally, count the money until you have cramps in your hands, and when you make money and earn satisfactorily, you think of me as an uncle, and it is right to help me." β
"How dare you." Sun Shao got up and said goodbye, anyway, the ship had already arrived, and he was not interested in talking to Sun Quan anymore. These hypocritical words make me sick to my stomach when I hear them, you really want me to do things for you, why didn't you say it just now? And there is a big ship officer in Yuzhang, you have to ask me to go to the Hou official to get the ship, do you obviously want me to go farther, just let me go to Panyu.
Sun Shao returned to his big tent and immediately asked people to pack up their things, Daqiao and Guan Feng had a tacit understanding, no one asked, and immediately arranged for someone to clean up, and it didn't take long for Lu Yi to send an official document to lead the ship. Sun Shao thanked him again and apologized for his rudeness yesterday. Lu Yi smiled a little unnaturally and said in a low voice, "Sun Jun doesn't mind if I report everything to the Supreme?" β
"As it should be." Sun Shao smiled and patted Lu Yi's shoulder: "Brother Lu is such a loyal gentleman, it's too late for me to be thirsty, how can I meet outside." Brother Lu will soar in the future, and he will take more care of businessmen like me. β
When Lu Yi heard this, he didn't even dare to say it, but he was very happy in his heart, Sun Shao not only didn't dislike him, but also looked up to him so highly that he was very useful. It's a pity that such a talented and knowledgeable person can only go into business just because he is Sun Ce's son, which is a pity. Sun Quan is generous to people, but he is too ruthless to Sun Shao.
Hearing that Sun Shao was leaving, Mrs. Bu came with her daughter to see them off, the two little girls took Sun Shao's hand, reluctantly, Sun Shao left, no one played with them anymore, and no one made food for them. "Big brother......" Sun Luban sobbed, his little face was crying, he looked up and looked at Sun Shao pitifully: "When will you come to play with us again." β
Sun Shao squatted down, hugged the two little girls in his arms, and said with a smile: "What are you crying about, the eldest brother just went back to the city before you, and when you Ah Weng finished the battle, he will also go back to the city." Don't worry, the eldest brother will go to Chengdu this time, buy you a lot of good-looking Shu brocade clothes, ensure that you will be dressed up beautifully, buy a lot of fallen forest powder, and make you fragrant, and be the most beautiful woman in Jiangdong, okay? β
"Big brother's words count." Sun Luban stretched out his finger and said very seriously: "Let's pull the hook." β
Sun Shao smiled, stretched out his finger and pulled Sun Luban together, and the two said in unison: "Pull the hook and hang yourself, for a hundred years, you are not allowed to change." Then he hooked up with Sun Luyu, and the two little girls smiled with tears in their eyes. Sun Shao lowered his face again and said to Sun Luban: "Big Tiger, the eldest brother is not by your side, you can't bully your sister, otherwise the eldest brother will beat your ass when he comes back, do you hear it." β
"Hmm." Sun Luban nodded obediently.
Seeing that the brutal Sun Luban was so obedient in front of Sun Shao, Mrs. Bu said with some emotion: "I, a big tiger, have been disobedient since I was a child, and it is easy for Feng Xian to be able to cure her, but Feng Xian is going to do things, it's a pity, I will have a big head again in the future." β
Daqiao looked at Sun Shao with satisfaction and smiled silently.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Bu, Sun Shao's family left the camp, and there was a boat on the riverside leaning on the shore, and a sturdy man about forty years old stood at the bow of the boat, and behind him stood a young man with a filial piety on his head. Seeing Sun Shao, the two bowed and saluted: "Young master." β
Sun Shao was silent, helped the bridge to get on the boat, entered the cabin, and gave a faint order: "Start the boat and return to Jianye." β
"Whoa." Without saying a word, the man jumped out of the boat, untied the cable, and then jumped on the boat again and hung up the sails.
Guan Feng kept looking at the sturdy man and didn't speak, Daqiao glanced at it, and it was a little strange, staring at his face carefully for a while: "Aman, why does this person look a little familiar." β
"His name is Lin Fei, and he was Ah Weng's Boy Scout back then."
"Really?" Daqiao looked at Sun Shao in surprise. When Sun Ce was alive, he took in some fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys around him, he taught them martial arts, took them to the battlefield, and trained them as future generals, these people were called boy scouts. LΓΌ Meng, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai were all members of the Boy Scouts. It's a pity that Sun Shao died too early, this plan was abandoned halfway, and later Sun Quan took power and took over all the boy scouts, Lu Meng and Jiang Qin became generals, and Zhou Tai was with Sun Quan as early as when Sun Ce was still alive, and many of the boy scouts became officers, or served as lang officials and personal guards by Sun Quan's side.
Daqiao didn't care about Sun Ce, she didn't know much about the Boy Scouts, she only knew that there were some people, but she didn't know much except for a few people such as Lu Meng. She had never heard Sun Shao talk about these people, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she suddenly saw one.
Sun Shao's face was very calm, but there was a rare gloom in his eyebrows: "That young man's name is Han Long, and his father Han Qing was also a boy scout back then, and he was killed by Gan Ning not long ago. β
"Is that the cook?" Guan Feng suddenly interjected.
Just over a month ago, a big event happened in the camp. One of Gan Ning's cooks had it, and Gan Ning wanted to kill him, so he ran to Lu Meng's house. Gan Ning and Lu Meng have a very good relationship, Lu Meng's old mother Deng treats Gan Ning like a child, after knowing this, he asked Lu Meng to return the cook to Gan Ning, and when Gan Ning arrived on the boat, he personally shot the cook to death with an arrow. Lu Meng was furious because of this, and actually prepared to send troops to attack Gan Ning, if it wasn't for the persuasion of the Deng family, it would almost be out of control.
Guan Feng heard Sun Shangxiang say this, and at that time she didn't understand why Lu Meng and Gan Ning had such a good relationship, why they almost attacked each other because of a cook, but now when she heard Sun Shao say this, she immediately understood that this cook and Lu Meng still have such a relationship.
"Hmm." Sun Shao raised his face and sighed. The following words are not said. Lin Fei and Han Qing are close friends, Han Qing was killed by Gan Ning, Lin Fei hated Gan Ning to death, and at the same time hated Lu Meng for ignoring the feelings of the year, so he revealed the news to Gan Pei, who was also a Lang official, and provoked Gan Pei to go to Sun Shao to make trouble, preparing to sue Gan Pei again for leaking secrets, and then find an opportunity to kill him, and even pull Gan Ning. After Sun Shao found out, he suppressed the matter. When Lin Fei saw Sun Shao come forward, he couldn't be reluctant, knowing that he was no longer safe by Sun Quan's side, so he simply said goodbye.
Seeing Sun Shao's solemn expression, Guan Feng closed his mouth and didn't ask any more. Although Ohashi was puzzled, he also knew that the stakes were high, so he also diverted the topic and said some gossip. When the boat arrived outside Jianye City, Daqiao and the others went ashore, Lin Fei took Han Long and bowed to Sun Shao: "Young master, I will take Ah Long to avoid the limelight for a while, and then meet with the young master." β
"Be careful yourself." Sun Shao asked people to bring ten cakes of gold, but Lin Fei did not refuse, accepted it calmly, bowed again, turned around and got on the boat, and drifted away.
"This man is very bold and has very good skills, how can he be willing to be a Lang official?" Guan Feng walked up to Sun Shao and asked softly.
"He, he's thinking about things and thinking about demons, if it weren't for Han Qing's killing this time that stimulated him, he might have cultivated the Tao or become a Buddha." Sun Shao felt a little funny, turned his head to look at Guan Feng, who was a little inexplicable, and patted his head: "By the way, you don't know much about Zhenrong's affairs, go and ask your mother, she knows that in Danyang back then, Zhenrong was jubilant." β
Guan Feng was confused about this, glanced at the bridge that had already gotten into the car, and said a little embarrassedly: "Mother blames me for letting you get into danger, and now you have some opinions about me, so let's wait for you to tell me later." β
"Hee-hee, then wait until you get into the quilt." Sun Shaose smiled in confusion: "I have a lot of research on the Buddha of Huanxi. β
Although Guan Feng didn't know where the Huanxi Buddha was sacred, he knew that it was not a serious thing when he saw Sun Shao's eyes, so he blushed and lightly scolded him, turned around and got on the horse, Sun Shao also got on the horse, walked side by side with Guan Feng, and walked towards the city.
Hearing that Sun Shao returned to Jianye, Xiaoqiao quickly rushed over with Zhou Yu and Zhou Yin, and heard Daqiao talk about Sun Shao's crossing of the river to challenge Zhang Liao, Xiaoqiao was afraid after palpitations, but Zhou Yin was eyebrows fluttering, and said to Sun Shao enviously: "Big brother, you have become famous this time, even the people in Jianye know that Jiangdong has a little overlord again, and he defeated Zhang Liao, the first brave general of the Cao army." It's a pity that I wasn't in the camp at the time, otherwise, I wouldn't have seen this kid show his face. Alas, what a pity. β
Looking at Zhou Yin, who sighed, Sun Shao skimmed and did not speak. He smiled and said to Zhou Yu: "Alas, my little sister Yu'er, why did you lose weight like this?" It's so distressing to see the eldest brother. Is it that your aunt won't give you something to eat? Come to the eldest brother's house, and promise to raise you in a month. β
"Duh, it's not serious." Zhou Yu, who had a pointed face, blushed and took a bite of him, and walked quickly to the bridge room. Sun Shao had no heart and wanted to tease her again, but was stopped by Zhou Yin: "Big brother, be kind." β
"What are you talking about?" Sun Shao didn't know why, and said angrily. Zhou Yin was just about to say that Zhang Wen walked in from outside, and he smiled and arched his hand: "The captain has returned victoriously, Wen is late to greet him, forgive his sins." β
Sun Shao smiled, said hello to Zhou Yin, let Zhang Wen go to the study, and sat down, Zhang Wen had no smile on his face, turned the teacup in his hand, and said softly: "Captain, if you take this step, there is no turning back." β
Sun Shao looked at Zhang Wen and suddenly felt a little disappointed, he was able to come this far now, Zhang Wen had a lot of credit, but now listening to Zhang Wen's tone, it was obvious that Zhang Wen had no intention of continuing with him. He thought about it, and then he was relieved. After all, business is a cheap business, and the Zhang family is a Wuzhong family, and he himself is a leader in Shilin, and he has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, so there is no need to follow him all the way to the black.
Sun Shao arched his hand and said very sincerely: "Thanks to Hui Shu for his strategy this time, Shao is here to thank you." β
The corners of Zhang Wen's mouth slowly showed a smile. When Sun Shao said this, he didn't object to his choice, and he breathed a sigh of relief and was a little disappointed. If Sun Shao hadn't chosen the unpromising path of business, he would have been reluctant to leave Sun Shao. Sun Shao himself is a rare talent, and more importantly, Sun Shao trusts him very much, and he can be described as obedient. In these years, it is not only the monarch who chooses the minister, but also the minister, it is not easy to find a monarch like Sun Shao who is willing to delegate power, but he doesn't want to be a monarch, so he can only sigh.
"The captain is going to Hou Guan to get the ship, so it's better to take advantage of my family's merchant ship." Zhang Wen took the initiative to say: "First, let's get familiar with the sea route, and second, maybe we can cooperate in the future." β
Sun Shao nodded again and again: "That's naturally better." β
