Wei Jing arched his hand angrily: "Wei Jing is penniless, he only has one life, when the general wants to take it, he will take it." ”

"If you want to kill you, it's a fart." Sun Shao smiled, returned to his seat and sat down, took a sip of tea, and then said: "I have already told Bufujun, this time after pacifying Cui Qian and stabilizing Jiaozhou, I will set up a county in Zhuya, I will live in Zhuya, and you will be the county commander." ”

Wei Jing was stunned, raised his head and looked at Sun Shao, suspecting that his ears had heard it wrong. He collided with Sun Shao, and Sun Shao asked him to be the county magistrate?

"Don't look at me like that." Sun Shao frowned: "Now I'll give you a task first, go back to Xu Wen immediately, and report the situation to the concession mansion." Then ask him whether he will go to Jiao Lu to ask Shi Xie for his guilt, or if I will accompany him. ”

Wei Jing couldn't take care of his own affairs, he knew that Bu Qi had been waiting for this opportunity for several years, how could he not go. He immediately got up, said goodbye to Sun Shao, and hurried away.

"You are fierce enough, repair your ship well, and then give it a name, just call it ...... Zhenhai, you horseman, you are fiercer than me, dare to be ten thousand, with you guarding the South China Sea, the ugly group dares to disagree. ”

Yue Hai was overjoyed, and bowed down to receive the order: "Thank you for the name, the general." ”

"From now on, you are General Zhenhai. Go get some money and give a reward to the soldiers. This battle is dangerous, so let them rest for two days and settle down. Sun Shao waved his hand and drove the excited Yue Hai out.

When there were only two people left in the room, Yu Xuan, who had not spoken, spoke: "General, how does Cui Qian arrange it?" ”

"Didn't he give up the charts? Of course I'm going to let him go. Sun Shao laughed, "What, Mr. has an idea?" ”

Yu chuckled and stroked his beard: "Cui Qian is very famous in the South China Sea, if he is allowed to wander outside, who can guarantee that he will not pull up a bunch of pirates in the future?" If the general wants to gain a foothold in the South China Sea, such a person cannot stay outside, and if he can use it, he must use it, and if he can't use it, then kill him and avoid future troubles. ”

"He won't surrender to me." Sun Shao said helplessly: "I promised to let their family live, so I can't go back on my word." What's more, he has nothing left now, what waves can he make? ”

"It is precisely because he has nothing that it is possible to surrender." Yu laughed and said: "He is a pirate, but he wants people to call him a general, it can be seen that he is an official addict, his ancestor used to be Ma Fubo's subordinate, and now he is Sun Fubo's subordinate, which is not an insult to him." If he is still obsessed, it means that he has too much resentment towards the general, and he can't keep him. Accept him, those pirates who escaped will be frightened, and sooner or later they will come to join him, and killing him can also deter them, so that they dare not touch the general's mold, so that the South China Sea can be peaceful for a long time. ”

Sun Shao hesitated for a moment, feeling that it made sense. He glanced at Yu and rolled his eyes, and understood: "Then ask Mr. to persuade him." ”

Yu Pan nodded and didn't say anything more.

Cui Qian presented the chart, but did not leave immediately. He was very hesitant to ask him to surrender to Sun Shao, it seemed to be more difficult, Sun Shao turned him from a pirate king into a lost dog, he hated Sun Shao to the core, he didn't have the strength to kill him, and it was even more impossible to surrender him. But if he doesn't surrender, things seem to be even more difficult to handle, he has been evil in the South China Sea for many years, and he has done a lot of bullying things, not only the people have suffered from him, but other pirates have also been bullied by him. Now that he has no strength, he naturally has to be bullied, the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by the dog, the hairless phoenix is not as good as the chicken, he understands this truth, it is easy to get out from here, but it is difficult to live in peace and stability. Besides, even if the pirates don't look for him, the Shi family can't let him go, he has so many Shi family's secrets in his hands, can the Shi family spare him? He thought about it and felt that it was better to surrender to Sun Shao, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Just when he was embarrassed, Yu Flip came, everyone is a smart person, there is no need to say it too clearly, Cui Qian accepted Yu Flip's suggestion and surrendered to Sun Shao. Sun Shao accepted him, allowed him a lieutenant, commanded two thousand soldiers, and allocated twenty fighting ships to him from the spoils of war. His building ship has been destroyed by Yuehai, and it can't be used at all, besides, even if it can be used, he is not qualified to sit now.

At this time, Cui Qian was no longer the high-spirited king of pirates in the South China Sea, although he was not angry, but he still showed his loyalty to Sun Shao, as soon as he went out, before he could raise his head and spit out a sullen breath, he was hit by Su Thick Legs. Su was annoyed that he exposed his old bottom in front of everyone, how could he let go of this opportunity, and smiled weirdly at that time:

"Yo, isn't this a big hero in the South China Sea? What, come to Sun Fubo to write a war letter? ”

Cui Qian is very aggrieved, but there is no way, the situation is pressing, this is the truth. Fortunately, he soon got a few comforting news, the people who salvaged the battlefield found Cui Wen and Cui Wu, Cui Wu was seriously injured and dying, Cui Wen was a little better, broke a leg, and drank a belly of seawater, fortunately, his life is still there. The two were rescued by doctors and craftsmen, and they were finally fine. Knowing that Cui Qian surrendered to Sun Shao, the three of them sighed relatively.

Bu Qi was overjoyed to get the news, and quickly rushed over with a heavy boat and five thousand foot soldiers, and when he saw the captured Shigan and Huan brothers, he was also happy to smile when he saw the captured Shigan and Huan brothers. He told Sun Shao that the sailor of Jiaolu had been captured, and Shi Xie had no strength in his hands, so he didn't need Sun Shaoxing's division to move the crowd, he and Wei Jing could just go. The merchant ships had been delayed for a long time, and they needed to be escorted to sea immediately, so they were asked to escort Sun Shao to escort them south through Zhuya and go straight to Yuenan.

Sun Shao knew that he didn't want to let himself share his credit again, so he didn't say anything, he escorted the merchant ship back to Xuwen, rested for a few days, and set sail again. This time, there is no need to go through Jiaoluan, you can go directly to the south along the west coast of Zhuya, and the distance is saved a lot. The merchants ran away without danger, although it was delayed, but Sun Shao pacified Cui Qian's group of the most bullish pirates in one fell swoop, and the South China Sea was finally peaceful, although there were still some pirates from the guys, but such a force was vulnerable in front of the sailors and could be ignored.

After the Changhua port in the southwest corner of Zhuya was replenished with fresh water for the last time, the fleet left the coast and sailed to the vast sea, from here to Yuenan County there are 1,500 li, with the gradual northwest wind, the fleet has to walk for 20 days to reach the destination, plus the time from Xu Wen to Changhua Port, the total journey takes 30 to 35 days, which is nearly a month less than the detour and Jiuzhen. The reason why I didn't go from here in the past was, on the one hand, Cui Qian occupied Zhuya, and on the other hand, the merchants did not have the ability to locate themselves in the sea. Although there are some experienced old sailors who can locate according to the stars in the sky, they are also very sketchy, who dares to put their wealth and life in their hands.

But now it's different, Sun Shao's subordinates brought a master like Yu Tuo, plus more than a dozen assistants, using the novel Sinan positioning, plus the nautical chart in Cui Qian's hand, their insurance coefficient has greatly increased. Even so, Sun Shao did not dare to take the nearest path, he adjusted the direction slightly to the west, and increased the insurance coefficient, so that even if there was a mistake, it would not deviate too much and lose direction.

The night on the sea was pitch black, except for the lights on the ships that connected to the front and back, and the only thing was the starry sky overhead. The sailors sailed and hurried all night, while most of the merchants slept peacefully, with General Fubo escorting and leading the way, and they didn't have to worry about everything.

Sun Shao sat in the cabin, with the nautical chart spread out in front of him, Su Thick Legs and Cui Qian, who were not on duty, accompanied by the two former pirates, neither of them was convinced, they stared at each other, the hatch door rang, Yue Hai walked in, and when he saw them glaring at each other, he couldn't help laughing.

"Where's the two of you?"

"Nope." The two said in unison, exchanging a fierce look at each other.

"Okay, forget the past." Yue Hai poured himself a cup of tea, glanced at Sun Shao, who was deaf, and said slowly: "If you want to say that there is a grudge, I have a grudge against you." Brother Su robbed my shipyard and caused me to be demoted. However, the last time he came with the general to save me, my grudge with him was resolved. Brother Cui, you chased behind my ass for half a month, causing me to lose more than a dozen pounds of meat, and finally almost killed me, but I smashed your building boat, and we are both settled. We can eliminate such a big enmity, you only have a few quarrels, why do you always worry about it? The chicken's belly is not like a man. ”

Neither Su nor Cui Qian spoke.

"Alright, let them go." Sun Shao beckoned to Yue Hai and said disapprerovitically: "The journey is lonely, it's not bad to watch a little drama." I really regret it, I knew that I would bring some singing and dancing notes from Xu Wen, and I would do some business along the way. ”

Yue Hai approached Sun Shao and said with a smile: "General, you have a lot of money now, and you still have to do business to make that little money?" ”

"Who's too much money?" Sun Shao rolled his eyes: "Now that I have so many people under my command, I have to pay twenty or thirty gold for a day to eat, plus other expenses, is it easy for me?" You only know how to reach out and ask for money, have you helped me think of a way to get rich? ”

"I have a way, but I'm afraid the general won't dare to go." Cui Qian said sullenly: "Go and grab it." ”

"Who are you robbing?" Sun Shao said angrily: "Rob Yuenan? Grab nine true? ”

"Grab Linyi, grab Funan."

"Lin Yi?" Sun Shao thought for a while, put down the pen in his hand, and knocked on the case: "Come, you tell me in detail what is going on with this Linyi, and whether it is worth grabbing." ”

Cui Qian was dumbfounded, he was angry, but he didn't expect Sun Shao to take it seriously, looking at his face, it was obviously not a joke. He was a little embarrassed: "General, I'...... I said playing. ”

"Did you say it was fun?" Sun Shao's eyes widened, and he picked up the paperweight on the case and smashed it. Cui Qian raised his hand to catch it, his palm was hit by the paperweight, but he didn't dare to shout, he muttered: "General, do you really want to rob it?" ”

"Of course, Lao Tzu wants the king of pirates in the world, what is it called a pirate if he doesn't rob it."

"This ...... Although Lin Yiguo is small, he is Funan behind him, so it is not easy to rob. ”

"What is Funan, is it very strong?"

Cui Qian scratched his head, he hadn't been to Funan either, but he had heard that it seemed that this country was not small, but he really couldn't say how big it was. While pondering, Yu Flip came in from outside, glared at a few people arrogantly, and waved his hand: "You all go out." ”

Yue Hai didn't let any of the three farts out, and went out obediently. They dared to be presumptuous in front of Sun Shao, laughing and laughing, but they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Yu Xuan. Yu turned that mouth too badly, scolding people without dirty words, scolding you, you still can't figure out what it means. Cui Qian first entered Sun Shao's account, I don't know how powerful he is, once he said two words, Cui Qian thought it was praising him at first, happy for a long time, went back and asked Cui Wen, Cui Wen checked the book for a long time, and finally said that he scolded you, Cui Qian was so angry that he couldn't hold back his breath, and he went to find trouble with Yu Flip with a knife, but he didn't expect Yu Flip to be a master, a spear made him wonderful, and he was stunned to hit his nose and swollen eyes, which was a shame. Since then, Cui Qian walked around as soon as he saw Yu Xuan.

Sun Shao looked at the angry Yu Xuan, and forced a smile: "Mr. has measured the direction?" ”

"Why do you want me to test this, I'll just take a look on the side, these boys do it." Yu Pan sat down with a big grin, poured himself a glass of wine, and sipped it with taste: "Does the general want to know Funan?" ”

Sun Shao nodded.

"Yang Fu's foreign body chronicles mentioned Funan, but it was said very briefly, as if Funan was not the name of their country, but the name of their king." Yu pondered and said: "But this country has been founded for a long time, and when Emperor Xiaoyuan was emperor, there was once a small country called Zhenla who came to pay tribute, and this small country of Zhenla was one of the subject countries of Fuguo. That's at least three hundred years. ”

"So long?" Sun Shao was taken aback. Four hundred years before and after the Han Dynasty, but there is a new dynasty in between, can this Funan country be established for more than 300 years? Is there really such a big country? However, he had the impression that except for India, which was a little larger, the others were all small countries.

"What's this?" Yu Fu felt that Sun Shao was a little fussed: "The Zhou Dynasty has been established for 800 years, and the establishment of the country for a long time does not mean anything. ”

Sun Shao's eyes were immediately a little weird, Yu Fu was a Confucian who was a serious child, and when he said this, he was a little deviant.

Yu Chuan felt Sun Shao's surprise, but he just smiled faintly, and he didn't explain, he moved forward: "General, the situation in Jiaozhou is basically clear, does the general have any other plans besides occupying Zhuya?" ”

Sun Shao realized what he was going to say, so he quickly sat up straight and arched his hand: "Dare to ask Mr." ”

"The general pacified Jiaozhou, and he has more than 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and now he is one of the few important generals under the Supreme Account. In addition, the general's subordinates are sailors, and they are sailors who are good at naval warfare, so the general's interest is very important to how the Supreme sees you. ”

Sun Shao didn't say a word, just nodded, and looked at Yu Fu intently.

"If the general can't show ambition for overseas territories, then the Supreme will think that the general has ambition for Koto." Yu Chuan knocked lightly on the case: "If my guess is correct, after this matter, the Supreme will inevitably send another person to Jiaozhou." ”

"Isn't he convinced?"

"It's not that you can't believe it." Yu Pan shook his head slowly: "Bu Qi is Mrs. Bu's uncle, Mrs. Bu only gave birth to two daughters, and she has not given birth to a son so far, but she can be graced, and there is no relationship between Bu Qi." The Supreme's trust in Bu Qi, there is no need to doubt. However, in several comparisons between Buqi and the general, he was defeated, so the Supreme would think that he couldn't control the general. ”

"So he's looking for someone who can control me?" Sun Shao sneered, a little disdainful.

"In my opinion, it should be so." Yu Fu nodded.

"That'...... Am I in danger? ”

"No, it won't." Yu Fu said affirmatively: "On the contrary, he should reuse the general, if the general can reassure him." ”

"Reuse me?" Sun Shao wanted to laugh a little, it was strange that Sun Quan could reuse him.

"Yes." Yu Fu strengthened his tone again, he raised his head, and was silent for a moment: "In the first half of the year, there was a big epidemic in the Central Plains, but Cao Ying did not relax and led the army to Hanzhong. According to the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the situation in Bashu will be very tense. In terms of the use of soldiers, Liu Bei is not Cao Ying's opponent, in terms of strength, Bashu cannot be compared with the Central Plains, in terms of talents, it is reasonable to say that Liu Bei has only one Fazheng, and only Zhang Fei is the general who can take charge alone, and the others are not worth mentioning. In the face of Cao Ying's offensive, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. ”

Sun Shao didn't speak, his eyes were blazing and he looked at Yu Turn, Yu Flip was famous in the officialdom in Jiangdong, famous for his easy to learn from everyone, and at the same time identifying talents was also his long skill. He had contact with Liu Bei Junchen, and must have his own opinion on Liu Bei's subordinates.

"If Bashu loses, then Jiangdong will definitely not be protected." Yu Fan was not interested in discussing Liu Bei Junchen too much with Sun Shao, and as soon as he changed his words, he immediately turned to the situation in Jiangdong. "Although the Supreme Commanding Battle is not as good as the rebellious general, his grasp of the situation is outstanding, and he definitely can't let Cao Ying occupy Bashu. And Liu Bei is tight, and he will inevitably ask the Supreme to launch an attack on the Eastern Front to relieve the pressure on Bashu. ”

"You mean, war will start soon?" Sun Shao was a little suspicious.

"Yes, and this battle must be extraordinary." Yu Fu exhaled lightly, his eyebrows trembled, and he seemed to be a little worried: "Jiangdong is unstable, it is not appropriate to start a big war at this time, but the situation is not for people to consider, so this battle must be fought." Otherwise, Cao Ying occupied Bashu and went down the river, and Jiangdong would inevitably be unsafe. ”

Sun Shao didn't say a word, his fingers slowly tapped on the desk, and he somewhat understood what Yu Xuan meant. Sun Quan wanted to save Liu Bei and was forced to launch a big war, and at this time, not only the mountains in the hinterland of Danyang, Yuzhang and other hinterlands were unstable, but he rose in the South China Sea and mastered an armed force that could not be underestimated. If nothing else, he will ask him to go north and participate in the big war, on the one hand, to consume his strength, and on the other hand, to test his mind.

"Xuzhou?"

"Xuzhou." Yu rolled his eyes and was very satisfied with Sun Shao's sensitive strategic meaning. "But Xuzhou is not easy to fight, Xuzhou is the place of the four battles, and there is no danger to defend, today it is said to take it, tomorrow Cao Ying's infantry army will arrive, maybe the general is busy, and finally cleared the hidden danger of Zang Ba for Cao Ying." He paused, and then said: "Xuzhou is too close to Yecheng and Luoyang, Cao Ying will not let you occupy Xuzhou, so as soon as you send troops to Xuzhou, he will definitely withdraw his troops from Hanzhong, and finally ......"

In the end, they were all safe, and I was the only one who was unlucky. The corners of Sun Shao's mouth showed a smile, Lao Tzu was not fooled.

"That'...... Not going? ”

"If you don't go, you can't do it." Yu chuckled: "Jiangdong is lost, and the general can only float overseas." And at that time, Cao Ying will inevitably get rid of the general. What's more, if he refuses to participate in the war, then once Jiangdong loses, the general will become a sinner of the Sun clan. ”

"What about going?" The smile on the corner of Sun Shao's mouth remained unchanged. Yu smiled and nodded, "I want to go, but there are two things to think about before I go." He raised a finger: "First, you can't express your willingness to go, you have to ask the Supreme to go, you go to Xuzhou, you are to obey the overall situation, not to take the initiative to ask for merit." Therefore, you must show your willingness to conquer overseas and commit robbery, but you must not be entangled and unable to get out. ”

Sun Shao somewhat understood, this was to make a gesture to reassure Sun Quan, and let him take the initiative to ask him to go north to participate in the war and eliminate his suspicions. Therefore, at this time, we can't be idle, we have to find something to do, but we can't fight a bad battle, and when the time comes, we really can't get out of it, which affects the situation in the Central Plains. In his opinion, it doesn't matter who the son of heaven is, he only needs to have a piece of territory, Yizhou can do it, and Southeast Asia can do it. But people like Yu Fu are different, their family business is in Huiji, once Cao Ying occupies Jiangdong, their losses will be great, for their own interests, they would rather choose the Sun family than Cao Ying. Of course, it is best for him Sun Shao to be the Son of Heaven, but this is too far away to think about, and it is not yet time to put it on the agenda.

"And the second?"

"Second, if you want to fight Xuzhou, you must choose a base in the rear, and you can't go all the way back to the South China Sea to replenish supplies when the time comes."

Sun Shao nodded, he understood everything. He went to Xuzhou to participate in the war, whether it was Sun Quan or Liu Bei, it was a life-saving trick, but for him, it might be a life-saving trick. If nothing else, Sun Quan will not allow his sailors to enter the Yangtze River, nor will Wu County or Huiji meet his needs, even if they are willing, Wu County and Huiji do not have the strength to supply several armies at the same time, and Yu Tuo, as a family of Huiji, will certainly not want his interests to be damaged. Therefore, he had to think about the base in advance, not only to stay close to Xuzhou, but also to have the strength to support his army.

Sun Shao already had his own answer, but looked at Yu Xuan: "Where does Mr. think it's better?" ”

"Huiji." Yu Flip smiled slightly.
