Chapter 287: Tian Fan's Gift
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu got married at the same time, but they were both concubines, so they didn't make a big deal. They didn't invite many guests, and they didn't go to the ceremony, they just gave gifts.
Early the next morning after the wedding, Zhou Yu got up from Lu Wan'er's warm embrace, looked at the newly married wife, and couldn't help but smile warmly when she saw her pretty face with spring.
Lu Wan'er didn't sleep deeply, Zhou Yu got up and immediately woke her up.
Looking at her husband's handsome face with a charming smile, and then looking at her disheveled and delicate body, she suddenly felt shy and embarrassed when she thought of last night's madness. But as a bride, she understands her duty. Holding on to the pain of breaking melons and enduring the shyness she had never had, she helped Zhou Yu dress, then dressed herself, and waited for Zhou Yu to wash.
Zhou Yu is a person with a lot of interest, he is running around about state affairs all day long, and he also needs to relax. This little wife, he is very satisfied, not to mention her appearance, but to say that her wonderful piano skills are enough to match him and Xuan. When you are tired, it is a wonderful pleasure to listen to the lady stroke the piano. With a smile on his face, he looked at the shy and embarrassed Lu Wan'er's clean face, Fu Fan, looked at her shy and sweet smile, helped her thrush, and helped her to plug her hairpin. The tranquility and tranquility at this moment is what Zhou Yu likes the most.
Then, the two had breakfast, raised their eyebrows, respected each other like guests, occasionally looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent. A complex emotion of love and affection, sweet and fascinating, breeds in the hearts of the two people, and spreads with an unstoppable momentum, gradually filling the bottom of the heart and the entire cavity.
Lu Wan'er likes Zhou Yu, but she doesn't know him very well. She can only understand her husband through the legends of outsiders. Looking at him face-to-face at this time, she only felt at a loss in her heart, and she felt both looking forward to and feeling confused about the future life of husband and wife.
After the meal, the two sat quietly and chatted, most of them were Zhou Yu talking and Wan'er listening. She didn't know what to say, and when Zhou Yu asked her for advice, she always succinctly said "um", "oh", and "ah".
Zhou Yu obviously felt that his little wife was a little overwhelmed, but this kind of thing could only be done slowly, and she could only wait for her to get used to it.
At this moment, the maid outside the door knocked lightly, and Zhou Yu said, "Come in!" ”
The maid saluted the bride and the newlyweds, and said, "Master, madam, someone from the General's Mansion invited the master over, saying that there is an urgent matter to discuss!" ”
Zhou Yu was stunned, it was the newlywed holiday, Sun Ce had something to look for him, something big must have happened! He hurriedly said to Lu Wan'er: "Wan'er, I'll come when I go, you have a good rest today!" ”
Lu Wan'er said "um", got up and changed Zhou Yu's clothes, shoes and socks for going out, and handed him the sabre, and finally, she watched him go away in style at the door.
After entering the main hall of the Sun Mansion, Zhou Yu unexpectedly saw that Tai Shici, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, Chen Wu and other generals were also there.
The generals and Sun Ce were arguing around a few boxes, and at the same time, they were holding some swords in their hands and were watching carefully.
Seeing Zhou Yu coming, everyone hurriedly saluted. Sun Ce said: "Gong Jin, look at these knives, guns and armor!" ”
Zhou Yu took the knife in Tai Shici's hand and looked at it carefully, then took out his saber and touched it, stopped his voice, and nodded: "This knife is good!" Better than our knives! ”
Sun Ce nodded with a heavy heart and said, "It's not better!" In other words, in terms of sharpness, it is a little better, but in terms of balance, it is not a little better! …… Not only the sword, but also the sword, as well as these armors, are better than the equipment of our Jiangdong Army! ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he squatted down and looked carefully at the armor in the box before he raised his head and asked curiously, "Where did all this come from?" ”…,
Sun Ce pointed to a shorter box and said, "You take a look at the contents of that box first!" ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he opened the box as he said. The purpose is ten swords. Zhou Yu picked up one, watched it for a moment, and drew his sword. Just as soon as he saw it, he was shocked! After watching carefully, he looked at Sun Ce and asked in surprise, "Hundred Refining Sword?" ”
Sun Ce nodded, and said a little heavily: "Ten hundred refining swords, blowing hair and breaking hair, indestructible!" Moreover, the weight is suitable, as is the division of the weight of the sword itself, so that a perfect balance can be achieved. Wielding this sword, you can swing it twice as long as a normal sword without feeling sore! ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he walked a few steps to the door, and after waving vigorously a few times, he said, "Not bad!" The balance of the sword body is excellent! Brother, where did all this come from? ”
Sun Ce said: "Boguang gave me a wedding gift!" ”
Zhou Yu asked in surprise, "What?" Seriously? ”
Sun Ce nodded and did not answer.
Among the gifts that Tiantian Fan gave to the Sun family before yesterday, Sun Shangxiang was the most anxious, and immediately opened the package, and the rest of the people also opened it later. Only Sun Ce was calm, and it was not until today that he and Lu Hua'er opened all kinds of gifts together. Among the gifts given by Tian Fan, there were ten hundred refining swords, one hundred ordinary knives, one hundred ordinary swords, ten pairs of leather armor, and ten pairs of iron armor. In addition to these, the rest are ordinary gifts, such as phoenix hairpins, earrings, bracelets, and so on for Lu Hua'er.
As soon as Sun Ce saw these weapons and armor, he immediately summoned a few generals, and after they carefully watched the test, they reluctantly admitted that Xuzhou's weapons and armor were better than Jiangdong's! Not only in quality, but also in workmanship. Although it's only a little bit better, it's good, maybe it's a little bit good, it can save lives on the battlefield, and the enemy can die and I survive!
Zhou Yu looked at several generals, then at Sun Ce, and finally focused his gaze on the Hundred Refining Sword in his hand, speechless for a while.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "What does Boguang mean by this?" Is he trying to frighten us by showing us these fine weapons? I'm going to ask him! ”
Sun Ce hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Gong Jin, don't worry! Boguang left a letter in the gift box, and his meaning was clearly stated in the letter! ”
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Then what does he mean?" ”
Sun Ce said: "He said that he managed the artisan camp, and he often felt unhappy because the artisan camp consumed a lot of money and food. Moreover, the scale of the craftsman battalion is too large, the production capacity is too high, and the work of the staff is not enough, which is enough for the Xuzhou army to equip. Once the war broke out, the use of weapons and armor was too large, and they could not immediately find people back, so they also needed to consume Xuzhou's money and grain to feed. Therefore, he made it clear to the general that he wanted to sell the weapons and armor produced by the craftsman battalion to the outside world! After careful consideration, the general also felt that it was a little inappropriate to build a camp that cost money and food, but could not generate income, so he agreed. This time I came to Koto, in addition to forming an alliance, I also wanted to sell weapons and armor! ”
At this moment, Zhou Yu's brain completely crashed!
After a while, he said in disbelief: "Brother, are you sure?" ”
Sun Ce nodded affirmatively and said, "That's what the letter says, can there be a fake?" ”
Zhou Yu thought for a moment, but still couldn't get the point. He muttered: "The scale of the Xuzhou craftsman camp is large, and we have heard of this for a long time. It is said that the second battalion of craftsmen in charge of Boguang is the size of a small county town. But, brother, is the general stupid? Is Boguang stupid? These weapons and armor are well-made and of reliable quality, don't they know that my Jiangdong is the enemy of Xuzhou after all, and will still compete on the battlefield in the end? ”
Sun Ce, Tai Shici and others were also at a loss. Zhou Yu continued: "It's impossible for them not to know? Selling us such a good weapon, is this considered a capital enemy? ”…,
Sun Ce nodded slightly and said, "Although it doesn't count, it's not far off!" ”
Zhou Yu nodded slowly and said, "Then why did they sell us such a good weapon?" ”
Sun Ce shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't understand it either!" But...... The price is fair, a little more expensive than our own production! The other, and the most important one, is that we are about to expand the army, once the army is expanded, the weapons and armor are not enough, if we produce it ourselves, the weapons are good to say, but the armor is ...... There is no two years that cannot be completed! ”
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and said, "What does my brother mean, buy?" ”
Sun Ce said: "Of course I buy it!" We can't figure out why, but it's a good thing, so why not? Boguang's letter said that there were 20,000 swords and 20,000 pairs of leather armor, and if they were insufficient, they could be added, and they would produce them for us. The iron armor needs to be customized, and if needed, a thousand pairs can be produced for us in a year! However, the premise is that the alliance between the two sides must be successful, and the delivery time of weapons and armor must be set for next year! ”
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Brother, I understand!" ”
Sun Ce said: "What do you understand? ”
Zhou Yu said: "The general is eager to destroy Yuan Shu, and he desperately wants to form an alliance with us, so he wants to sell weapons and armor to us!" Both he and Boguang knew that we urgently needed to expand our army, and many old armor in the army also needed to be replaced, but we were not so fast in producing our own weapons! ”
Sun Ce thought for a moment and asked, "But...... We were going to form an alliance, didn't they need to be so anxious? ”
Zhou Yu said: "The situation in Xuzhou is sinister, they want to develop, they must form an alliance with us!" Perhaps, this is the root cause! Think about it, my father-in-law also told us the night before that Boguang agreed to do business with his father-in-law, but the premise was also an alliance! It can be seen that their alliance is indeed a little anxious! ”
After a slight pause, he said thoughtfully: "In this way, does it mean that we can stretch it again?" The longer you stretch it, the greater the benefits! ”
Sun Ce shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Gong Jin, now these conditions offered by Boguang, I feel a little uneasy, how can I stretch it again?" ”
Zhou Yu shook his head slowly and said, "Brother, we have a good relationship with Boguang in private, and I also admire Boguang's personality. However, after all, he is from Xuzhou and will be our enemy in the future. Since Xuzhou is our enemy in the future, why can't we strike first and weaken Xuzhou a little more from now on? ”
Sun Ce suddenly came to his senses, he hugged his fists and said: "Gong Jin, the benevolence of a woman for a while, almost missed a big thing!" Okay, it's up to you to form an alliance, I'm just a sound worm! After a slight pause, he continued: "On the battlefield, if I meet Boguang, I will definitely kill him quickly, but in private, he ......" He was speechless for a while, and finally sighed deeply.
Zhou Yu can taste Sun Ce's feelings, why doesn't he have the same feeling? It's true that we're sorry for our friends, but who made us go on both sides?
