"Sir, why are you here?" Sun Shao stopped in front of Yang Biao and didn't let him get out of the car. This old man came uninvited, so how can he drink this wine and talk about it?

Yang Biao didn't speak, standing in the car, the two fingers of his left hand slowly twisted the tip of his beard, looking at Sun Shao condescendingly, his majestic gaze was not angry and arrogant, the two were silently stalemate for a moment, even if Sun Shao was thick-skinned, he still couldn't withstand Yang Biao's pressure, so he had to step aside and stretch out his hand: "Boss, please." ”

"Your Royal Highness King Yue, don't you know my Great Han Law?" Yang Biao said in a lesson as he walked inside.

Sun Shao is inexplicable, why is this still related to the law of the Han Dynasty? "Dare to ask."

"Dahan law, if more than three people gather to drink for no reason, a fine of four taels will be imposed." Yang Biao laughed: "I'm here, but I'm not drinking with you, I'm thinking about your purse." ”

Sun Shao laughed angrily, but he didn't expect Yang Biao, who has always been known for his majesty, to make jokes. He pinched his nose and said with a wry smile: "But my lord, my glass of wine is more than four taels of gold." ”

Yang Biao laughed, just laughed, Cao Pi and others came out, the smile on Yang Biao's face disappeared magically, he put on an old face, nodded, and walked in as if no one was around. Sun Shao accompanied him, Cao Pi, Zhuge Liang, Liu Ba and Zhang Wen could only follow behind, all the way into the main hall. Yang Biao sat in the first place, Sun Shao sat in the chairman, and the others sat in order.

There is a saying in Jiangdong, "Gu Gong is at the table, and he is not happy to sit down", which means that Gu Yong is very serious, and with him, everyone can't drink happily. Yang Biao has a fight with Gu Yong at this point, as presumptuous as Sun Shao, and he doesn't dare to go too far, let alone others. After three rounds of drinking, Sun Shao saw that the atmosphere was dull, so he got up and toasted Yang Biao with a glass of wine to celebrate his birthday. Yang Biao took a shallow sip, the cup was not put down, and he said in words: "King Yue is the youngest of the kings with different surnames in the world since I have a big Han dynasty, how do you feel when this good day is a good wine?" All the monarchs are the pillars of the country, you might as well spit it out, although you are old, you are also willing to encourage you. ”

Sun Shao's mouth crooked, and he knew that this old man had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he was afraid that the four of them would abandon the Son of Heaven and carve up the world, so he rushed to destroy it. Now force him to make a statement in front of everyone, and then use him as a bargaining chip to bargain with others. Although this old man has read a lot of books, he is not pedantic, and he is no less shrewd than he prides himself on being a businessman.

"The boss has a life, Shao Yan dares not to say anything." Sun Shao raised his wine glass, drank it all, and then asked people to pour another glass, walked up to Cao Pi, who was sitting at the head of the guest seat, and said with a smile: "Brother Zihuan." ”

Cao Pi hurriedly got up, raised his wine glass with a smile, and waited for Sun Shao to speak.

"Cao Gong is blessed, he has given birth to several sons, all of whom are dragons and phoenixes among people." Sun Shao opened his mouth and praised first, and Cao Pi smiled and was humble. Sun Shao waved his hand, asking Cao Pi to slow down and be humble, and then said: "Respect brother Cao Xiaolian, both civil and military, and filial piety, righteousness and benevolence, so that the younger brother Cao Cangshu, smart and benevolent, known as a prodigy, the second monarch unfortunately died early, but Zihuan and Zijian's articles and martial arts are outstanding, and they are the heroes of the world, Cao Gong must also be pleased." ”

Cao Pi didn't know what Sun Shaola wanted to say, but he smiled and listened quietly.

"However, among your brothers, what I admire the most is not you, nor Brother Zijian, who has never met, but Brother Yanling, Brother Yanling, do you know why?"

Cao Pi's face stiffened, and then he returned to normal. He chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart that Sun Shao had an idea to let Cao Zhi, who was about to be out, suddenly come to an end, and now he has taken a fancy to Cao Zhang, and wants Cao Zhang to be involved? He was nervous, but there was nothing unusual on his face.

"Not for anything else, just for the Yanling Marquis Daibei battle, the Karasuma people fled in despair, and the Xianbei people were frightened, showing the prestige of our Han people."

Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said modestly: "I can be praised by His Royal Highness, I think Ziwen will be very happy when he hears it." ”

"Actually, the reason why I admire Cao Gong is also because of this." Sun Shao smiled faintly, turned around, and said to Zhuge Liang, Zhang Wen and others: "The four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the famous generals do not know how many, the founding of the country has Han Xin, Peng Yue, the world of the Han Wu has Wei Huo, and there is Sanming recently, however, what I Sun Shao admires the most is Po Hu Hou (Chen Tang) and Dingyuan Hou (Ban Chao), Po Hu Hou said 'Those who offend me as a strong man, although they are far away, they will be punished', after three hundred years of majesty, it still makes people's blood boil. The thirty-sixth ride of the Marquis of Dingyuan in the Western Regions made me admire it. With such a sage as an example, do we dare to work hard? ”

Yang Biao was very satisfied and praised it: "King Yue's words are my true character as a good man." ”

He opened his mouth, how dare the others lag behind, and hurriedly followed along with praise. Sun Shao waved his hand and faced Cao Pi again: "Brother Zihuan, the Marquis of Yan Ling is your brother, he can go on an expedition to the north and expel foreign races, you can't be compared to him as a brother." ”

Cao Pi knew that he was going to go around his head in the end, so he hurriedly said modestly: "I can't ...... with Ziwen."

Before the last few words could be spoken, Sun Shao interrupted him: "Zihuan, you can't say that, I don't think Cao Gong would want to pass on the throne to an eldest son who is not as good as his brother." ”

Cao Pi changed color, Sun Shao's words were too straightforward, directly interfering in his family affairs, not to mention that this was originally his heart disease. Sun Shao disagreed, ignoring his face. He said to himself: "Zijianba County is mighty, can be equal to the famous general Zhang Yide, Ziwen Daibei shows his ability, Karasuma and Xianbei people are terrified, why don't you go out of the Western Regions and follow the story of Dingyuanhou?" Brother Zihuan, you are also both civil and military, full of strategy, why do you want to keep it secret? Show a little out and let others see it, this is a good man. ”

Cao Pi was speechless, but Sun Shao's words gave him a wake-up call. That's right, the reason why his father Cao Ying has never made him his son-in-law, and recently moved his heart to Cao Zhi, isn't he just looking for an heir who can be as good as him? I'm not bad, Ziwen can defeat the Karasuma people, why can't I defeat the people of the Western Regions? If I can defeat the Western Regions and bring them into my territory again, who else can doubt my ability?

Regardless of the viable surname, at least it's a good suggestion to go back and study. Cao Pi was overjoyed and hurriedly gave a salute: "Your Highness is right, my generation is right." ”

"I'm optimistic about you." Sun Shao patted Cao Pi's shoulder angrily and drank it all. Cao Pi also drank it all boldly, and lit up the bottom of the cup.

Sun Shao poured another glass of wine and walked in front of Zhuge Liang: "Brother Kong Ming, farewell to Chengdu, it's been three years since I was in a trance, how are you doing?" ”

Zhuge Liang secretly smiled bitterly, his heart is okay, but he was bitter by your husband and son-in-law. He smiled and said, "Thanks to His Highness's concern, everything is fine." ”

"Brother Kong Ming is an extremely smart person, Liu Yuanjun has a famous general like my father-in-law and a resourceful person like you, and he will definitely be able to keep the southwest of my Han Dynasty stable."

Zhuge Liang smiled: "This is the duty of my courtiers." ”

"However," Sun Shao's tone changed, shook his head and smiled: "When I was in Jiaozhou, I knew that the barbarians in the south of Yizhou were not enough, and many people were still not convinced by my Han education. If you can't do it, my Sun Shao can't do it yourself, and I'm willing to ask the Son of Heaven for an edict to expel it on my behalf, I don't know if Brother Kong Ming thinks it's okay? ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly shook his head and joked, let you go to the southwest, do you fight the barbarians for us, or make trouble for us? "Your Highness, rest assured, once the Son of Heaven issues an edict, Liu Yuanjun will definitely send troops to conscript, so that those barbarians will return to the king."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news in the East China Sea." After Sun Shao finished speaking, he had a drink with Zhuge Liang, then turned to Zhang Wen, raised his glass and said, "Brother Huishu, I know that Jiangdong has always had a headache about Shanyue, and now there is any progress?" ”

Zhang Wen hurriedly said: "Your Highness, rest assured, Sun Che rode to guard Jiangdong and has been committed to the conquest of Shanyue, and it is going very well. ”

Sun Shao nodded: "I don't know how long it will take to completely calm down?" If you need help, I, the king of Yue, have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Zhang Wen glared at Sun Shao unhappily, and said in his heart You have a conflict with Sun Quan, but there is no need to press forward step by step in front of so many years, right? However, he still said very happily: "As long as the Central Plains is fine, it must be solved within three or five years." ”

Sun Shao laughed, drank a drink with Zhang Wen, returned to his seat, and said to Yang Biao: "Boss, you see, the men of my Han are all heroic and good men, and they are all loyal ministers and righteous men who are loyal to the country. Cao Jun wants to pacify the Western Regions, Liu Zhijun wants to conquer the barbarians in the south, and my uncle wants to pacify Shanyue in three or five years. ”

Yang Biao smiled secretly, but nodded solemnly: "All the monarchs are generous, this kind of pride is really touching, although the old man can't fight on the battlefield with the monarchs, but he is willing to use a bald pen to make contributions to the monarchs." Please wait and see, within a month, your heroic words will be recited by the scholars of my Han Dynasty. ”

Zhang Wen hadn't reacted yet, but Cao Pi was shocked, and then Zhuge Liang also understood, and was immediately dumbfounded. Originally, I thought it was just wine talk, and it was counted wherever it was said, although the person who said it was casually, and the person who listened to it didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect Yang Biao to play this hand again, and he went online, and directly regarded this as their promise, and sent it to all counties in the Han Dynasty. Oh my God, isn't that a trap for yourself, this civil war is not over yet, how can you have the heart to conquer the outside world?

I fell for the old and the little two foxes again.

Cao Pi's cold sweat came out, he was thinking about what Cao Ying would think if this sentence reached Cao Ying's ears, would he support him to go to the Western Regions, or would he be talking nonsense again and messing things up? Zhuge Liang reacted quickly, he smiled, got up and saluted Yang Biao and Sun Shao: "His Royal Highness King Yue, my lord, the so-called name is not right, and if it is not good, it will not be done." Although Liu Yuanjun is willing to conquer for the country, if the northern part of Yizhou has not been completely pacified, even if he wants to conquer the south, he will have more than enough heart but not enough strength. Please ask His Royal Highness the King of Yue and the old man to make a statement to the Son of Heaven and issue an edict for Cao Gong to withdraw from Hanzhong. I dare to swear to heaven here that the stability of the northern part of Yizhou is said to be the time when Liu Yuanjun sent troops to the south. ”

Sun Shao praised it, this Zhuge Liang is smart, and as soon as the topic changes, it becomes a begging for Hanzhong, and it is justified. As for how many people Liu Bei will send to the south after Hanzhong really gives it to him, then God knows.

Yang Biao glanced at Zhuge Liang, and said in his heart, this young man is slippery enough. He thought for a moment: "Are you a descendant of the Ge clan in Zhucheng?" ”

"Exactly."

"Who are you?"

"It's my uncle."

"Oh." Yang Biao nodded: "Back then, Uncle Liu Biao respected Uncle Yuzhang as Yuzhang Taishou, and when the table was sent to the court, I handled it." ”

Zhuge Liang was very depressed, how could this be here, but he had to show respect: "It turned out that Yang Gong handled it, what a blessing." ”

"Uncle Zun is average, but he is a loyal minister, because Liu Biao's table came too late, the court appointed Zhu Hao as Yuzhang Taishou, although Uncle Zun was wronged, but he never complained, and willingly abandoned the official and left. Now that I think about it, the old man still feels a little guilty. ”

Zhuge Liang was embarrassed, Yang Biao pointed at his nose and scolded people, but he had no choice but to endure it, and he had to say something nice: "As a courtier of the Han Dynasty, it should be like this." ”

"Hmm." Yang Biao raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured, and said lightly: "The matter of Yizhou naturally has to be resolved, and I and the King of Yue are invited to come to Wancheng together to discuss, don't you just hope to solve these disputes without using swords?" You can rest assured that as long as everyone is loyal, the most appropriate solution can be found for all contradictions. King Yue said that if you want to share the interests of the world, only if it is in line with the interests of more people, is the real benefit. ”

Cao Pi and the others heard what Yang Biao meant, he was the representative of the Son of Heaven, and when he said this, it meant that the Son of Heaven had acquiesced in the intention of several of them to divide the world, and all they wanted to talk about was how to divide it. Although the strength of the Son of Heaven is limited, and Sun Shao's strength is also limited, their tendency is also a factor that cannot be ignored when the tripartite balance is concerned.

They exchanged a look with each other and left the table to salute: "The ministers will obey the orders of King Yue and the boss, and they will do their best to serve Your Majesty." ”

Yang Biao laughed with satisfaction, the purpose of this uninvited visit was achieved. He has already prepared a draft in his heart, ensuring that these little shafts can't be relied on if they want to. Of course, this will not solve all the problems, but it will more or less put a trap on them. Even if they just mean it, they can reduce a lot of trouble, if they can do these words thirty percent, then the big man will have a chance to stop internal friction and recuperate.

Yang Biao is very grateful to Sun Shao, if it weren't for Sun Shao taking the initiative to cooperate with him to provoke the topic, and as an indispensable factor to beat the side drum, it would not be easy for him to make these three make such a statement.

After drinking, Yang Biao excused himself to stop and drink tea and had a secret conversation with Sun Shao in the study. Sun Shao was helpless, he knew that Yang Biao was deliberately trying to create the impression that they had a good relationship in front of others, and he had some scruples when others asked him to join him again. But he has no other way, besides, among the four kings of the world who will appear soon, his strength is the weakest, if he doesn't borrow Zhang Hupi, where is the opponent of those three families. Cao Ying is a tiger, and the Son of Heaven is also a tiger, although this tiger is useless, but it is better than nothing.

"Your Highness is loyal and commendable, Your Majesty will be very happy to know it." Yang Biao put away his smile and said very sincerely.

Sun Shao smiled faintly: "My strength is limited, and that's all I can do." ”

Yang Biao was silent for a moment: "Your territory is smaller, and it is in Sun Quan's elbows, and it is indeed difficult to develop." What do you have to do now, and if you need my help, just ask. ”

Sun Shao bowed and bowed: "Then I will thank the boss first." I am very grateful that the old man can understand my difficulties. Don't tell the boss, in addition to hundreds of boats and more than 10,000 sailors, I only have this king of Yue left. However, I believe that with the wisdom of His Majesty and the wisdom of the Lord, we will definitely be able to overcome all the difficulties and see the hope of the great Han Zhongxing. ”

Yang Biao let out a long sigh: "I hope so." How long will the fire of the Han Dynasty last, to be honest, I don't count it in my heart, but I just do my best and obey the destiny of heaven. Sage Yun, knowing that he can't do it, we are a little better than him, at least there is a little hope. It's just that I'm old, and my legs and feet are not good, who knows when I fall asleep one day, I'll never wake up again. Fengxian, you are young and have such talent, just like Cao Mengde back then, you are a capable minister who rules the world and a hero in troubled times, I hope you can be the former, not the latter. In that case, my big man may really have a chance to get ZTE. ”

Sun Shao sweated violently, how could he take on such an important task? He's doing it now just to get out of trouble. If you want to think about the national fortune of the Han Dynasty, he is not nothing, after all, he used to be proud of being a Han person, but the current pride is far less strong than the need to survive, and he is not opposed to making some contributions to the Han Dynasty, but if he wants to work for the Han regardless of his own safety, to be honest, he is not so great.

Guan Yu may be able to do it, but he can't. The principle he believes in is to repay virtue with virtue, to repay grievances with straightforwardness, whoever is good to him, he will be good to whom, whoever wants to yin him, he will retaliate ruthlessly, no matter if you are your own uncle or what the son of heaven is.

He is not the kind of person who is selfless and repays grievances with virtue, or simply said, he very much dislikes the practice of repaying grievances with virtue, in his opinion, this logic is absurd, it is the extravagant hope of the weak, and it is the bullshit truth of acting for the tiger, just like the Buddhists say "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground", fucking put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, smoother than those who have not held a butcher's knife, so isn't killing a shortcut to becoming a Buddha?

Lao Tzu doesn't believe in repaying grievances with virtue, Lao Tzu only believes in tooth for tooth and eye for eye.

"Shao did his best."

"Just do your best." Yang Biao didn't force him, he also knew that it was not easy for Sun Shao to speak so seriously, he had a hippie smile in front of the Son of Heaven, and he didn't take royal dignity in his eyes at all. But he also knew that if there was anyone among the four forces of the Great Han who still had some feelings for the Great Han, it was only the youngest and weakest King Yue.

Yang Biao was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "You said you were going to the East China Sea?" ”

"Yes." Sun Shao nodded: "Sun Cheqi and Liu Yizhou's envoys have arrived in Wancheng, and the problems within the Cao family are also clear, I believe that with the means of the boss, we will definitely be able to get a more satisfactory result." My role here is limited, so I might as well go to the East China Sea to speak for the boss, and maybe I can help a little. ”

Yang Biao bowed slightly, the matter was as Sun Shao said, the three parties began to talk, and the rest was to bargain, Sun Shao's strength was too weak, put him in Wancheng, it was better to let him go to the East China Sea to develop. He pondered for a moment: "But as soon as you leave, who will help me print the manuscript?" ”

"I can give that workshop to the Lord." Sun Shao looked at Yang Biao with a smile, Yang Biao glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I can't afford it." ”

Sun Shao laughed and laughed at himself: "I know I can't hide it from the boss, so let's just say it." I want my lord to ask the Son of Heaven to issue an edict, I have the right to dock at the ports along the coast of the Han Dynasty, and the sea ten miles away from the existing coast is the land of my Yue King. ”

"You're too big, aren't you?" Yang Biao smiled slyly.

"Otherwise, the Son of Heaven will change the fiefdom to me." Sun Shao said: "Cao Gong's feudal yi is Wei County, leading Jizhou Mu, Liu Bei should lead Yizhou Mu if nothing else, my uncle also leads Yangzhou Mu, but I, the king of Yue, only have Yue County, and I don't receive a state, what do you let me use to support my subordinates?" If I don't have the strength, how can I serve the Son of Heaven? ”

Yang Biao thought for a moment: "Do you want to deal with Qingxu Shuishi?" This is not very good, I will talk here, and you will start a civil war on your side? ”

Sun Shao smiled: "Don't worry, I will never cause trouble to the boss, I can still handle this bit of proportion." ”

"It's okay, I can ask the Son of Heaven to give an edict, but I can't guarantee whether they can agree to it."

"As long as the Son of Heaven issues an edict, I'll talk about it myself." Sun Shao smiled and pointed to his nose: "Don't forget, boss, I'm a businessman, and bargaining is my housekeeping skill." ”

"Ugh." Yang Biao sighed: "Why did I accidentally ask the Son of Heaven to crown a merchant as the king, I am really dizzy." ”

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh. Sun Shao also smiled. One old and one young, look at each other, and the more they laugh, the happier they become. If Yang Xiu was present, he would definitely wonder if he had drunk too much, because he had never laughed like this before, even at home.

Yang Biao was trustworthy, and he asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict that the sea ten miles away from the coast in the current territory of the Han Dynasty was the territory of the King of Yue. After Sun Shao received the edict, he immediately went to Cao Pi first. Cao Pi groaned slightly, although he did not immediately reply to Sun Shao, but he promised to intercede with Cao Ying. Cao Ying received the report, he didn't think too much, and immediately agreed, he didn't have a water master, Qingxu nominally belonged to him, but in fact it was the forbidden body of Zang Ba and others, Sun Shao wanted it, just give it to him, anyway, he has nothing to lose. He wrote back to Cao Pi and asked him to agree to Sun Shao's request, of course, he couldn't give it in vain, and he wanted to ask Sun Shao for benefits. Cao Pi understood and bargained with Sun Shao, but unfortunately he was not Sun Shao's opponent at all in business, Sun Shao fooled him, and then gave him a cart of ivory, rhino horn, jade and other South China Sea specialties to settle him.

After talking about the matter, Cao Pi pulled Sun Shao and said very mysteriously, how about it, let's get married, the Xin Xianying you like is already married, I can't help it, but that Xiahou Hui, I can make your wishes come true.

(To be continued)
