After a few days of busyness, Sun Shao left Su Thick-legged think-tank Wei Ping to lead the Southern Taishou on behalf of him, Wei Ping persuaded Su Thick-legged to open a formation under the city to attract Li Jing's attention when Sun Shao needed help the most, and Sun Shao was able to break through the West Roll City with the kung fu of tea, and Sun Shao gave him the richest reward. Generally speaking, Sun Shao's credit this time is so great, Bu Qi will give him a face anyway, Wei Ping, the leader of the Southern Taishou, may become the real Southern Taishou, in that case, he will enjoy the treatment that only the children of the family can enjoy: starting with 2,000 stones. For Wei Ping, this was something he had never thought of before, and when he received the appointment, he was a little overwhelmed with excitement.

"Guard the south well." Sun Shao said to him very solemnly: "If you have any problems, you can ask Bufujun for help, or you can ask Zhu Ya for help." ”

Wei Ping understood that Yue Nan might not be peaceful for a period of time in the future, and whether he could get through this dangerous period safely was a test for him Wei Ping, and Sun Shao gave him a chance to prove himself, not a period of wealth falling from the sky.

At this time, the old boss Su Thick Leg gave him the most powerful support: a thousand elites, with this thousand elites, Wei Ping suddenly had a bottom, this siege was going too fast, in fact, the casualties of the defenders were not large, if he could settle the rest of the people, plus this was completely loyal to his thousand elites, he had more confidence in defending Yuenan, it was really not good, he could still retreat under the protection of this thousand people.

At the end of December, Sun Shao, who received the order, returned to Zhuya, and then received a messenger sent by Sun Quan to reward him, Sun Shao did not dare to slack off, and immediately arranged for Wei Jing to be the head of Zhuya, responsible for the planning and preparation of Zhuya County, Shen Xuan was appointed as the general of the post, and Sun Quan set the scope of his functions as a post-general on the periphery of the South China Sea, which not only gave him a broad world, but also disguised the boundary between him and Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Buqi. Sun Shao did not suffer a loss, he set up the Hou General's Mansion in Zhuya, and actually turned Zhuya into his territory.

After spending a New Year in the newly established Zhuya County, Sun Shao took General Zhenhai to cross the sea, General Henghai Su Thick Legs, Dinghai Captain Cui Qian and others rushed to Hepu and met Buqi. This time, Bu Qi was also promoted, from Jiaozhou Thorn Shi to Jiaozhou Mu, he is now the real master of Jiaozhou, with more than 8,000 sailors and more than 10,000 elite foot soldiers, strong strength, and a good mood, and he can occasionally see a little smile on his face that was always gloomy before.

The first thing Bu Qi said when he saw Sun Shao was: "Fengxian, the Supreme Commander ordered that the Jiaozhou Governance Office be set in Jiaoluan, and I am waiting for you here." ”

"Congratulations on your promotion to state pastor." Sun Shao smiled and arched his hand. Although the history of the thorn is also powerful, its status is not high, it is only 600 stones, which is only equivalent to the county order of a large county, and the state pastor is different, it is 2,000 stones, and the identity of Bu Qi is different, it is better than the ordinary state pastor, it is 2,000 stones. As a state pastor, Bu Qi will be more justified in mastering the forces in his hands again, which shows that Sun Quan will do whatever it takes to make him have the strength to balance himself.

Bu Qi couldn't see any unhappiness on Sun Shao's face, so he was relieved, he was originally worried that Sun Shao would react violently to Sun Quan's arrangement, after all, Sun Quan's intention to prevent Sun Shao's strength from expanding was obvious. He smiled and said, "In addition to Zhuya County, the Supreme has also arranged two counties for you to make food estates, so that you can support more than 10,000 sailors under your command. Bu Qi led Sun Shao to the map of Jiaozhou, and said, "By the way, the Supreme has decided to name the water master you belong to as the Aurora Water Master. ”

Sun Shao laughed again, this can be regarded as reading him, and it is a disguised way to remove him from Jiaozhou, since he is an Aurora sailor, it will not be good to mix with Jiaozhou in the future. He nodded, still not speaking. The name Aurora probably comes from the gossip that the southeast is Zhen, but he knows that the word Aurora is the name of China by Indians later, and he didn't expect it to fall on his head today.

Bu Qi nodded on the map of Jieyang of Nanhai County: "The Supreme assigned Jieyang of Nanhai County and Dong'an of Jian'an County to you as a food town, this is close to the sea, it is still a good harbor, are you still satisfied?" ”

Sun Shao smiled, still didn't speak, nodded to show that he was very satisfied, but he laughed a little in his heart. Sun Quan looked very generous, and gave himself three counties as food at once to support more than 10,000 water masters, but he intentionally or unintentionally divided the three counties so far, and they are all sparsely populated counties, and the taxes must be very limited. However, he didn't expect to rely on any food to support the water master, in his plan, as long as there is Zhu Ya, there will be enough economic resources, Jieyang and Dong'an are completely redundant, don't be in vain, mosquitoes are small but also meat.

Bu Qi saw that Sun Shao had not spoken much, thinking that he was unhappy in his heart, and he also felt a little guilty, when he received Sun Quan's order, he also felt that Sun Quan was doing this as if he was a little chicken, and deliberately restricting Sun Shao not only did not play its due role, but would teach the truth, forcing Sun Shao, who might not have an idea, to have an idea. But he knows Sun Quan's psychology very well, and he is a new promotion, and he is embarrassed to blame Sun Quan for his so-called softness in taking people.

"Envoy, the Supreme wants me to go north to fight, has you arranged for the grain and grass of my army? Is it from these counties, or will it be added to Qiantangkou? If it is a current tune, it may take some time before we can leave. ”

Bu Qi had already thought about it, waved his hand, and said generously: "The taxes of Hepu and Jiaolu counties have been collected into the warehouse, and I will allocate them to you first." ”

Sun Shao said with a smile: "The envoy is rich, and he will give 100,000 and 200,000 stone of grain." ”

Bu Qiu laughed and looked at Sun Shao with appreciation: "I can pacify Jiaozhou so quickly this time, and thank you for your support, without your thunderous battles, I would not be able to shake the foundation of Shixie." Whether it is public or private, I will help you solve the food and grass this time. He paused, and then said: "After several battles, I am afraid that your warships have also lost a lot, you go to the Panyu Shipyard to get some new ships, Zhang Gong, I will give him a text." ”

Sun Shao was very satisfied and hurriedly thanked him.

After discussing the matter of heavy supplies with Bu Qi, before going out, Sun Shao said to Bu Qi very seriously: "Envoy Jun, Nanjun has been pacified, but I am worried that there will be a rebellion there, although Wei Ping is left to lead the Taishou, I am afraid that he may not be able to suppress it, I hope that Jun will pay more attention." ”

Bu Qi's eyes flashed, and he pondered for a moment: "Don't worry, Wei Ping's appointment, I will recommend it to the Supreme, if he has any difficulties, I will also send someone to support, and I will be able to keep Nan safe." Linyi is a small country, and it can't make any big waves. ”

Sun Shao frowned, and then laughed: "With the envoy in charge, he really can't make any big waves." ”

Bu Qi's smile flashed, and he didn't say anything more. Sun Shao left Wei Ping in Yuenan, and he had already expressed his intention to occupy Yuenan, but although Yuenan had a small population, it was a county, and it was difficult for him to guarantee that Sun Quan would agree, so he could only promise Sun Shao that he would recommend it to Sun Quan, and refused to agree to let Wei Ping become the real Yuenan Taishou - and this was originally something that he, the pastor of Jiaozhou, could make a decision before reporting.

Sun Shao did not insist, he said goodbye and left the Jiaozhou Pastoral Mansion, which was about to be relocated.

Yu Pan followed all the way, and saw that Sun Shao was silent, but there was no trace of a smile on his face, so he comforted: "Is the general worried about the scope of the water division's authority?" ”

Sun Shao turned his head and glanced at him, and laughed helplessly: "I originally trusted the bright moon in my heart, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." ”

Yu flipped through the meaning of these two poems, shook his head and smiled: "General, the name Aurora is good." Shaker, Henya. Shocked (the same sound as the gap, the appearance of fear), the smile is dumb, the shock is hundreds of miles, and the dagger is not mourned (the sound is the same as the smooth, the sacrificial wine is used). The earthquake has the meaning of turning evil into auspiciousness, and there is a sign of the birth of all things, and it is also a good omen for those who say that they are out of the ground, the beginning of a yang, and the renewal of Vientiane. ”

Sun Shao couldn't help laughing, the word Aurora still has this meaning, according to the current popular weft science, then Sun Quan named his sailor Aurora, wouldn't it predict his bright future in turn?

"Thank you, sir, for your enlightenment."

"Hehehe......" Yu smiled and stroked his beard, compared to Sun Shao, he believed in these mystical learnings, he felt that Sun Quan named this water division Aurora, which was very symbolic, which not only meant that Sun Shao's future was bright, but also attached to a layer of providence. What could be a better indication of providence in this world than the good omen sent to you by the person who wanted to guard against you the most? Yu turned all the way and thought all the way, it is said that when Sun Ce passed away, he said to Sun Quan, "Be virtuous and capable, do your best, to protect Jiangdong, I am not as good as Qing", in order to protect Jiangdong, Yu Chuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, Sun Ce just let Sun Quan protect Jiangdong, but did not say let him occupy Jiangdong, does it mean that he just let Sun Quan keep the Jiangdong foundation, and then leave it to his son, Sun Shao, who was still in infancy?

People are most afraid of pondering, Yu Tuo is easy to learn, originally believed in these fates and the like, and now has the subjective motivation to think in that direction, so any word with signs can attract his attention, and Chinese characters are the most rich in multiple meanings, if Sun Shao has not been able to come out, then Yu Tuo may never come up with another meaning from this sentence, now Sun Shao has the strength to come out, and there is a good omen of Aurora, Sun Ce's sentence that originally sounded very ordinary has another meaning.

Yu flipped all the way, thinking all the way, when he returned to the camp of the water master, he had already made a decision, and the rest was how to take the opportunity to speak to Sun Shao. Sun Shao didn't know that Yu Fu had thought of so many problems in this short period of time, he was just proud that he had made a small fortune, not only fished 300,000 stone of grain from Yuenan, had nearly a year's grain reserves, but also got more than half a year's military food from Bu Qi, and now even if Sun Quan didn't give him food, he didn't worry about starvation.

"Sir, you immediately notify the gentlemen of the Huiji and ask them to arrange for someone to come to Jiaozhou to do business. Now that the East China Sea and the South China Sea are too peaceful, and the South China Sea, Zhuya, and Yuenan are all under our control, it is a good time to do business, and we will prepare for two or three months, just in time for the peak season in June and July. As soon as Sun Shao entered the tent and sat down, he said to Yu Fan and Shen Xuan: "Mozhi, you have to hurry up the time to run Zhuya, and turn Zhuya into a place suitable for merchants to come and go in the shortest possible time, to be able to provide a large enough market, warehouse, and enough houses, carriages and horses, and to be able to repair ships, load and unload, store goods and other services in the future." Sizhen has a relevant plan, you discuss it with him, he is responsible for the technology, and you are responsible for the management. ”

"Whoa." Shen Xuan is very satisfied with the current situation, he is a retainer of Sun Shao, and he has nothing to do with Sun Quan, which not only ensures the development of his Shen family, but also does not have to be a vassal to the enemy Sun Quan, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. He knew Sun Shao's intention to set up the Hou General's Mansion in Zhuya, and of course he was full of energy, and he wanted to give full play to his ingenuity and build a solid rear for Sun Shao.

"General, you can't patronize the family of Huiji, you have to take care of the family of Wu County, you are from Wu County."

"What do you mean?" Yu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "General Hou is the general of the entire Jiangdong, when did the branch Ji and Wu Jun go?" ”

Shen Xuan laughed and hurriedly explained: "Slip of the tongue." ”

Sun Shao didn't refute, nodded and said: "This is easy to do, the business is now taken care of by Cheng Jun, whether it is Wu Jun's or Huiji's, it will be up to you and Cheng Jun to discuss it when the time comes, in short, the most important thing is that everyone has money to make, don't divide what Huiji and Wu Jun's, but give birth, except for Huiji and Wu Jun's, won't they be accepted?" Don't forget, the most merchants here are still Jiaozhou merchants and Yi merchants. ”

Yu Xuan and Shen Xuan nodded at the same time: "What the general said is very true. ”

A few days later, Sun Shao received military rations and related baggage from Hepu, and led Yue Hai, Su Thick Legs, Chen Hai and others to the South China Sea, and he was not idle on the road for more than a month. When attacking the western scroll, the three hundred warriors he led lost nearly half, so he decided to use this time to select some more elites from the whole army, gather enough 1,000 people, and use them as a personal guard battalion, known as the Destroying Battalion - destroying all enemies who dare to call themselves sharp - and hand it over to Chen Hai, who had just been promoted to the captain of the Destroying Front.

As soon as the news came out, the whole army was in a sensation, and everyone was gearing up and eager to try.

Although Su Thick Leg and Cui Qian were a little reluctant, but now they didn't dare to have any opinions on Sun Shao, and besides, their subordinates were also extremely enthusiastic about entering Sun Shao's Destruction Camp, you must know that those people are not only walking with their eyes high to the sky one by one, and they all claim to be the first in the world, but they are also enjoying the salary of the captain, which is much more generous than that of ordinary soldiers. Although Chen Hai is only a school captain, his majesty is even better than that of General Zhenhai and them, and in the entire Aurora Naval Division, only a limited number of people such as Sun Shao and Yu Fu can be taken into his eyes. If they were denied the opportunity to join the Breaker Battalion, they would be very unhappy.

What's more, Sun Shao will be unhappy, which makes Su Thick Legs and Cui Qian more afraid than the dissatisfaction of the soldiers.

After more than a month of journey, Sun Shao selected a thousand people to formally form the Destroying Blade Battalion, and he gave an order to the triumphant Destroying Captain Chen Hai that these 1,000 people should not only be proficient in infantry combat, but also proficient in water warfare, and in the future, whether on land or on the sea, they must be ready to take on the responsibility of sharp knives at any time. Chen Hai's chest was pounding, and the general could rest assured, I would definitely bring them into elites who could do both land and water.

In mid-February of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Sun Shao arrived in the South China Sea, and on the one hand, he sent people to enter the Panyu Shipyard for final maintenance, and on the other hand, he and Yu Fan rushed to the Taishou Mansion in the South China Sea to meet Zhang Zhao. As soon as they arrived at the door and stood still, they heard Zhang Zhao's characteristic high-pitched voice, which was a little intense, as if they were arguing with someone about something.

"My teacher is probably at war with someone again." Sun Shaoqiang couldn't help but smile and said to Yu Xuan. Yu smiled and nodded: "Zhang Gong is very knowledgeable, there are really not many people who can compete with him, I don't know which master it is." ”

"General, Duke Yu." Zhang Xiu, who was smiling, walked out quickly from inside and bowed his hand.

"Uncle, who is talking to the teacher about learning?" Sun Shao asked as he walked inside.

"It's Mr. Liu Chengguo of Beihai." Zhang Xiu led Sun Shao and Yu into the mansion, and said with a smile: "He has been here for more than ten days, and he has to debate with his father for an hour every day. ”

Zhang Zhao's current Nanhai Taishou Mansion was originally where Sun Shao lived when he was in the South China Sea, and the cooks in it were still trained by Sun Shao, and he made a good soup, which was prepared for Guan Feng to raise a fetus at that time, but he didn't expect it to be cheaper now Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao drank these soups every day, full of energy, and quarreled with Liu Xi for more than half a month, but he was still full of energy.

"Hahaha...... That's the uncle and heir, who takes good care of the teacher, and the chef who is good, is just the icing on the cake. ”

Zhang Xiu smiled silently and led Sun Shao into the main hall. Zhang Zhaogao, who was full of red face, sat on the couch and looked at Sun Shao steadily, while an old man dressed as a priest next to him stood respectfully at the door, raised his forehead with both hands, and said loudly: "Beihai Liu Xi, meet the general." ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Chengguo, I said that although the South China Sea is big, who can compete with my teacher for knowledge, guess it, only Mr. can stop it." Sun Shao hurriedly helped Liu Xi up, praised a few words, and then rushed to Zhang Zhao and fell to the ground respectfully.

"Disciple Sun Shao, meet the teacher and ask the teacher if he is well."

"I'm fine." Zhang Zhao stroked his beard with satisfaction, glanced at Liu Xi proudly, and said in his heart, you are a proud fart, do you see, the rear general Sun Shao, who is in the limelight at the moment, is my student, you claim to have more than a thousand disciples, and which one has the majesty of my student? "How's the war going in the South China Sea?"

"Inheriting the Supreme Sage, Mr. Zhong Xiang is planning, and the generals are using their lives, and the journey is still smooth." Sun Shao got up and led Yu to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao raised his head slightly, looked at Yu Xuan, and smiled: "Yu Zhongxiang, how about my unsuccessful disciple, can I still help?" ”

Yu turned over and arched his hand, and said quietly: "The rear general is born with good materials, and he is blue, and Yu is just a coincidence of chance, and he has to attach a tail, and he dares to call it meritorious." ”

He seemed to be praising Sun Shao, but he was actually talking about Zhang Zhao. What do you have to be proud of, Sun Shao has today, it is because he himself is capable and good at employing people and soldiers, and it has nothing to do with your Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period. Even if you are yourself, you are just stained with Sun Shao's light, so you can be a ready-made Nanhai Taishou, and it is not worth showing off here.

Zhang Zhao heard the meaning of this, his face sank, and he was about to sneer at him, thinking about Yu turning over the famous Jiangdong's temper, and felt that there was no chance of winning, so he turned angry into a laugh at the moment: "Hahaha...... Yu Zhongxiang is still so arrogant. Brother Chengguo, this is Yu Zhongxiang, who is proficient in easy learning and once made your county general Kong Wenju admire. ”

Yu Chuan once had correspondence with Kong Rong, and sent his own easy note to Kong Rong to see, Kong Rong read it, very appreciative, and replied, "Hearing the music of Yanling, seeing the rule of my son, is to know the beauty of the southeast, not the bamboo arrow of the Huiji." This is to compare Yu Tuo with the ancient sage Wu Yanling Jizi, which is a very high evaluation, especially from the mouth of the famous Confucian Kong Rong, who is famous for his profound knowledge, it is even more rare, which is also something that Yu Flip has always been proud of.

Liu Xi had already heard of Yu Tuo's name, but he was not familiar with Sun Shao's situation, but he didn't expect that the tall thin old man followed by Sun Shao was Yu Tuo, and when he saw Zhang Zhao, who had been arguing with him for more than ten days and was not convinced, he was so polite, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Yu Fu hurriedly returned the salute, exchanged a few polite words, and sat down to discuss the study. These three people are all university scholars in the world, although Sun Shao has also worked Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period, but in front of these three people, he is still only qualified to listen. After listening to it for a while, I realized why Zhang Zhao quarreled with Liu Xi.

The reason is very simple, when chatting, Zhang Zhao talked about his students very proudly, saying that he was on an expedition to Yuenan, Liu Xi talked about Funan, he said that there are some people in Funanguo who speak a language that is somewhat similar to the ancient language, and these people may have moved from the Central Plains a long time ago. Zhang Zhao was interested, asked a little in detail, and as a result of the discussion, the two had a disagreement, Zhang Zhao started from the orthodox concept of Confucianism, and refused to admit that Liu Xi said that those barbarians in Funan may be the first masters of the Central Plains, but although he quoted scriptures, he could not stop Liu Xi from being the best at exegetical research, and the two quarreled.

"Funan is the Central Plains?" Sun Shao was interested.

"From a linguistic point of view, this may be a big surname." Liu Xi saw that Sun Shao's attitude was very modest, and he did not have the arrogance of a young man at all, and his impression of Sun Shao was very good, so he ordered someone to take a brief volume and handed it to Sun Shao very carefully: "This is some research that I have done in addition to my studies, if the general is interested, he may wish to correct one or two." ”

Sun Shao hurriedly saluted, then took it very carefully, and unfolded it to take a look, the words on it were beautifully written, neat, and meticulous. But the article is not easy to understand, he can still understand the preface in the front, and he faints after only reading a few lines of research content.

"Sir, have you ever read such an article to others?" Sun Shao was embarrassed to look down further, put down the bamboo slip, and asked calmly.

"No, this knowledge is not something that ordinary people can understand." Liu Xi said with some pride: "I plan to pass it on to my own disciples in the future, and I don't plan to show it to others." ”

Sun Shao shook his head, all those who do scholarship have this bad problem, they have academic results but do not publish them, so that a lot of research experience is finally lost, and future generations will spend effort to do duplicate work. Not only Liu Xi has this problem, Yu Flip and Zhang Zhao have such a habit, Yu Flip's easy note is easy not to show people, and Zhang Zhao's Zuo's Spring and Autumn Note is also hidden at home, in order to please his father-in-law Guan Yu, it took a lot of effort to get Zhang Zhao's permission to copy a copy, which is still Zhang Zhao's face in helping Zhang Cheng get the position. He looked at Liu Xi and said, "Sir, Sun Shao is not talented, and he doesn't dare to beak Mr.'s masterpiece, but I think this kind of practice of hiding the famous mountain of knowledge is not appropriate." ”

(To be continued)
