Volume 3 Study Tour Chapter 227 The Wu Brothers and Sisters
"Sister Xiao Zhao, is your brother really serving Wu Yong today?" In the carriage, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, blinking with a pair of big eyes, asked Cheng Zhao.
Cheng Zhao reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "How can this be fake!" We had just come out of Luoyang. ”
"Then why did you come to Wu County?" The girl kept asking questions like a curious baby. Cheng Zhao thought for a while and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he spoke: "At the beginning of the year, Ah Di asked people to go to Cheng County in Huiji County to catch sea fish. We're here to see how it goes. ”
"Yikes! Those sea ships in Zhen County are all yours! Another, slightly older girl exclaimed.
Then, she sighed, "You just came here, and you don't know how quickly they are rising. In less than a year, they almost dominated the entire seafood trade in Yangzhou with a large number of fish resources. Cheng Zhao was stunned,
"We are all in Luoyang this year, but we don't know about such things." After that, the three girls talked about other topics.
In another carriage ahead, Wu Yong was talking to two teenagers. After he left Luoyang, he returned to Fuwang in Nanyang for a few days, and then rushed to Cheng County without stopping.
He wanted to know how the villagers in Funiu Mountain were doing in that part of Zhoushan. For later generations, he was accustomed to eating seafood, but he missed it a lot.
Even if you are in Luoyang, all kinds of supplies are sufficient, but the seafood that can be eaten in January is only a handful. However, when the four of them arrived in Wu County, Wu Yong deliberately stayed for a few days and went boating.
In the fourth year of Han Yongjian, Wu County was divided into Wu County to the west of Yangzhou Zhizhi Huiji, and Wu County was subordinate to Wu County, Yuhang, Wuxi, Fuchun and other counties.
Wu County is the Suzhou of later generations. As the saying goes, there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Since he passed by, Wu Yong didn't want to miss such beautiful scenery.
At this time, the natural scenery of Suzhou has not been excessively destroyed by human beings, and it is really like a fairyland on earth.
It was the first time for Cheng Zhao to be so relaxed, and after a few days, he was quite reluctant. But Wu Yong still has important things to do, and he can't stay here for too long.
So the group traveled with the caravan. At this time, there were thirteen prefectures in the whole territory of the Han Dynasty, with a total of one hundred and five counties.
Different from Sizhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou, which are in the Central Plains, Jingzhou and Yangzhou, which are south of the Yangtze River, are staggered by waterways and sparsely populated.
Yizhou and Jiaozhou, which are adjacent to Jingyang Prefecture, are even more lofty mountains and mountains full of plague and poisonous insects, which are not suitable for human habitation.
At this time, the two states of Jingyang had a warm climate, crops ripened for more than a year, and the officials of Luoyang were vying for power, the government decrees were not passed, the authority of the government was no longer restored, and bandits were everywhere in the prefectures and counties.
Ordinary people did not dare to travel alone, they all followed the caravan to avoid encountering robbers for money and murder.
On the way, the businessmen were all taken by Wu Yong's temperament, so they naturally didn't dare to get too close. Of course, there are always exceptions to everything, some people just don't believe in evil, and they want to talk to Wu Yong several times.
When he was out of the house, Wu Yong didn't want to be too unkind, so he chatted with this person. During the conversation, Wu Yong also knew the origin of this person.
It turned out that this person's name was Wu Mu, and the word Xiong Qing. His father's name is Wu Hui, whose name is Guangxiu, and he was once a captain of the Han Fengche and a Danyang Taishou.
It stands to reason that Wu Mu can be regarded as a child of a family, and he should not be so shabby. However, there are unforeseen circumstances, Wu Mu's parents died early, leaving a family of five brothers and sisters, relying on the surplus wealth left by their parents, relying on each other for many years.
Now the eldest brother Wu Sheng has inherited the family business and has his own family. Wu Mu didn't want to send someone under the fence, so he took his three younger siblings and left Wu County.
This time, the four brothers and sisters went to Yuhang to defect to their uncle Wu Yan. When Wu Yong learned about his situation, he admired him very much, so he didn't hide his identity from him.
"Are you today's Son of Heaven reading Wu Yong?" Wu Mu was stunned. He really didn't expect that the casual conversation was actually the person he had always admired.
Don't look at Wu Yong has been staying in Luoyang, but his name has already spread all over the country. There is also such an interesting story among the people: You don't know who the three princes and nine kings of the imperial court are, but you must know that the Son of Heaven reads Wu Yong.
Because there are too many things that Wu Yong has passed on, all of which are great achievements for the benefit of the country and the people. Don't talk about those who eat too much, which of the people in the north doesn't eat pasta now, that is, the people in the south, thanks to Wu Yong, also fry and eat every day!
Then there is the emergence of farmhouse fertilizer, which greatly increased the grain production of Dahan. And the appearance of toilets and bathrooms has made the previously smelly city more livable.
For readers, the emergence of engraving printing spreads books and is conducive to the spread of knowledge.
And the cotton and sugar beet, which are simply the gospel of the people, and a lot of barren land is also used.
Therefore, after learning Wu Yong's identity, Wu Mu stayed in Wu Yong's carriage and did not leave. Wu Yong was also speechless, and after some introduction, Wu Mu took his younger brother Wu Jing into Wu Yong's carriage.
Cheng Zhao went to Wu Mu's carriage to accompany his two younger sisters, the eldest sister Wu Rong and the second sister Wu Xuan.
Along the way, Wu Mu admired Wu Yong very much, and kept asking Wu Yong for teaching, but he didn't realize that he was a few years older than Wu Yong.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and then there was a commotion in the caravan. Wu Yong hurriedly stepped out of the carriage and asked, "What happened?" ”
"It is the pirates who are sharing the looted finances, and the leader is Hu Yu." Someone whispered an explanation. Wu Yong followed the guidance of the crowd and saw a group of burly men arguing fiercely together.
Nowadays, the world is restless, the roads are not quiet, there are many displaced people, and groups of thieves are swarming, and it is common for travelers to encounter robbers.
But such an unscrupulous bandit, Wu Yong met it for the first time. At this time, Wu Mu also stepped out of the carriage and said indignantly: "These pirates are so rampant, they dare to share the spoils by the side of the avenue as if no one is there!" ”
"Yes, it is said that they have just finished snatching the caravan from the barrassment, and the officers and soldiers are still chasing it over there."
"There is really no king's law, and the world is getting more and more chaotic." …… Wu Yong listened to the surrounding discussions, frowning and thinking about countermeasures.
These pirates sit on the ground and share the spoils, and others are reluctant to approach when they see this posture, which can also show their deterrent power in this vicinity.
This is Yan Zhan quietly attached to Wu Yong's ear and asked, "Immortal Jun, do you want to kill them?" Wu Yong shook his head,
"Let's see." On the river not far away, the boat on which Sun Jian, who was only 17 years old, and his father also stopped halfway, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
When he was hesitating, Sun Jian got up and said to his father Sun Zhong: "Father, these pirates are really annoying, and the child is willing to go to conquer this generation." Sun Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again: "This is not what your children's family can do, don't act recklessly." Sun Jian listened, but he didn't pay attention, and immediately jumped onto a reef with his knife, and after standing still, he began to raise his finger and point, like a gesture of dividing his troops to surround a pirate.
Among the pirates who were sharing the spoils, the thief leader Hu Yu had been vigilant, he looked up suddenly, and saw a young man in white standing on a high place commanding, with a sharp gesture, as if he was dispatching troops, and he couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that there were officers and soldiers ambushing nearby.
Look at the young man's fingers poking in all directions, there is a tendency to encircle on all sides. Hu Yu looked at the young man's eyebrows with a murderous aura, and where his hand was pointing, his eyes would shoot in the direction of his finger, and in the invisible distance, there seemed to be a soldier moving.
Hu Yu wondered in his heart: When did such a powerful young general appear among the officers and soldiers? Just as he was wondering, a cold arrow suddenly shot straight at the door in front of him.
Hu Yu had experienced a hundred battles, and hurriedly leaned down on the ground, but he could dodge this arrow. However, the pirate behind him was not so lucky, he was shot through the door by an arrow, screamed, and lost his breath.
Hu Yu was very angry in his heart, and he was afraid of his ambush, and with a whistle, his subordinates abandoned their finances on the ground and fled one after another.
Seeing the pirates fleeing, Sun Jian jumped from the shallows to the land in the spurs, and covered the pirates' rear for a while.
Then there were screams from the pirates, and people were killed by arrows. Seeing this, the pirates believed it even more, thinking that Sun Jian was the vanguard officer who took the lead, and they all rushed to the ship, and a pirate who escaped slowly fell at the end of the team, and before he could board the ship, he was caught up by Sun Jian, slashed with a knife, and then cut off his head, and returned victorious.
There are steel knives behind the necks of the merchants, and the pirates are many ferocious and bloodthirsty, and when the spoils are over, they will be slashed to death, and this time they escaped from death, and everyone saw that the young man in front of them was brave, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and single-handedly killed the thieves, and they couldn't help but thunder with joy.
Back on his ship, Sun Jian still sat back in the position he had just placed, and the residual temperature on the seat was still there, which showed the speed of defeating the enemy.
Sun Zhong was also surprised to see that his son had returned safe and sound, so he asked, "Why did my son dare to pursue the pirates with the strength of one person." Sun Jian didn't think about it, so he replied: "Father doesn't know, this pirate is very strong, although he is calling out the sky, snorting rainbow, but he is always a thief with a weak heart, worried that the officers and soldiers will come to arrest him, and now the division of troops to encircle the situation, then the thieves are scared away, if they do not pursue at this time, the thieves will be suspicious, and see that it is a fraud, so they will risk chasing with the strength of one person, in order to achieve a complete victory." After listening to Sun Jian's strategy, Sun Zhong was deeply impressed, thinking that this son was both wise and brave, and he would definitely achieve success in the future.
But at this time, I heard Sun Jian say again: "The reason why this plan can be achieved is thanks to the action of a chivalrous warrior." Every time he shot an arrow, one of the pirates was killed, and the pirates were so frightened that they fled. When Sun Zhong heard this, he immediately said, "Let's hurry up and thank this chivalrous man." ”
"That's what the child wants!" Sun Jian nodded. When their ship docked and they stepped out of the cabin, they were greeted by a thunderous applause.
Sun Jian's gaze crossed the crowd and happened to see Wu Yong and his party, at this time Wu Rong was pulling Wu Xuan to point at Sun Jian, and when he saw Sun Jian looking over, he immediately smiled sweetly at him.
Seventeen-year-old Sun Jian, whose height has surpassed his father, although his physique is not too strong, but his muscles are very strong, and the water vapor on the river surface is large at this time, and he is only wearing a pair of waterproof leather pants and a red coat on his body, and the whole person is like a tiger ready to attack.
The faces of the two standing side by side are relatively similar, both have tiger eyes and thick eyebrows, and they have wide mouths, but Sun Jian looks more honest than his father.
The moment he saw Wu Rong's smile, a thought immediately appeared in his heart: I want to take her as his wife!
