The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 109
Although Liu Ye didn't know much about Sun Shao, he was very concerned about a recent incident, that is, Jiangdong was making new wine, and the recipe for the new wine was the masterpiece of Xiaowei Sun in front of him.He was interested in the new wine, and was worried that he would not have a chance to speak, but he didn't expect Sun Shao to come to his door, so he certainly couldn't let it go.

Sun Shao nodded with a smile: "I have nothing to do, and I also like to tinker with these strange tricks. I have longed for the Thunderbolt car. If I can see it, I will naturally wish for it."

Liu Ye chuckled twice, heard another meaning from it, but didn't point it out, nodded and said: "In this case, after the Prime Minister's head has improved, Rong Ye will ask for instructions. If the Prime Minister allows it, Ye naturally dare not Hiding privately, I would like to learn from the school captain."

Sun Shao glanced at the heavily guarded tent, heard Cao Cao's indistinct groans, and sighed: "Mr. Cao is really worrying about state affairs."

Liu Ye sighed repeatedly, shook his head and remained silent.Cao Cao's hair became more and more frequent. Of course he knew some reasons. When Cao Cao became king, his disobedience was obvious. After Liu Biao abolished the elders and established the younger ones to defeat him, Cao Cao also followed the same path. The struggle between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi for heirs has reached a fever pitch.It's just that these reasons can't be told to Sun Shao, so he can only sigh along with him.But he didn't know that Sun Shao just used this incident to stimulate Cao Cao to get sick.

The two of them were talking nonsense, and after a short while, they saw a tiger hurriedly walked up to Liu Ye and said something in a low voice. Liu Ye turned his head to look at Sun Shao, hesitated for a moment, and bowed. With a bow: "Sun Jun, I heard that you have a way to cure the head wind?"

Sun Shao nodded: "I have learned a little massage technique, and it is impossible to eradicate the root cause, but it is still possible to relieve the pain."

"Dare to ask Sun Jun to do something." Liu Ye said earnestly.Sun Shao didn't refuse, and followed the tiger warrior into the camp.There was some chaos in the big tent. More than a dozen medical craftsmen surrounded Cao Cao, each of them was sweating profusely, with helpless faces. Cao Cao was lying on the camp couch, his forehead was covered with bean-sized beads of sweat, and his eyes were bulging outwards. , the corner of his mouth was drooling, the image of not being angry but powerful just now was gone.Xu Yu stood beside Cao Cao like a god of protection and refused to give way. Seeing Sun Shao coming in, he twitched the corners of his mouth and gave way a little worried.

Sun Shao didn't say much, he waved his hands and said, "Please leave all irrelevant people, there are too many people, and the breath is turbid, which is not conducive to the prime minister's illness."

Xu Yu thought that he wanted to keep the technology secret, so he didn't object, and immediately coaxed all the useless medical craftsmen out, only he and Liu Ye stayed.Sun Shao asked him to help Cao Cao up, and stretched out his hand to pull out the hairpin on Cao Cao's crown.Xu Xuan's heart trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but Liu Ye grabbed his arm.Xun You shook his head at him, signaling him to relax.Xu Yu looked at it and saw Sun Shao's face was solemn, and he quickly untied Cao Cao's hair with both hands, threw all the crown belt aside, let his gray scalp fall down, and then started from the back of his head with his ten fingers, quickly Pressing the acupoints one by one, Xu Xuan's brows kept twitching, and the knuckles of the hand holding the handle of the knife turned white, especially when Sun Shao pressed the Baihui acupoint, if Liu Ye hadn't pulled it, Xu Xuan might have stabbed him Kill Sun Shao.

Fortunately, with the dancing of Sun Shao's fingers, Cao Cao's twitching face slowly relaxed, and his groans gradually became lighter. When Sun Shao was sweating profusely, Cao Cao finally fell asleep exhausted.

"Thank you Sun Jun." Xu Xuan bowed to the ground: "I misunderstood Sun Jun just now, please forgive me."

"It's the prime minister's luck that Huhou is so loyal." Sun Shao stood up, raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, suddenly felt dizzy, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground with a plop.Liu Ye didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly asked someone to carry him to the side, and asked the doctor to treat him.After the medical craftsman looked at it, he said that it was just excessive nervousness and there was no serious problem, so Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

When Sun Shao woke up, it was already dark. Lu Yi and Gan Yu who had gone and returned sat next to him. Seeing him wake up, they were all relieved. Gan Lu said in a low voice while patting his chest. : "Sun Jun, why do you need to save him? Let him die of pain, wouldn't my Jiangdong be more secure?"

Sun Shao smiled wryly and said, "His condition is far from fatal."

Gan Yu suddenly realized, said oh, and said no more.Sun Shao glanced at the silent Lu Yi, and asked again: "You came back so soon?"

Gan Yu grinned and said, "I'll be there at dusk. According to what you said, Supreme gave a boat full of wine, five hundred stones. It's best to force them to death, so that our army can sneak attack."

"And, it's a good idea." Sun Shao was amused by Gan Yu's whimsy, and even the serious Lu Yi was amused.

"Sun Jun, you are so majestic this time." Gan Yu smacked his lips and said with some envy: "General Lu and the others heard that you defeated Zhang Liao, and all the soldiers in the dock are shouting long live for you. Now our army's morale is high. , you will definitely be able to defeat Cao Jun, then you will be the biggest hero, even I, Aunt, are not as good as you."

"What am I? Your Aunt's battle was dangerous." Sun Shao was polite, his stomach gurgled, and he laughed and said, "How long have I been in a coma, why is my stomach empty?"

"Of course I'm free." Gan Yu said with a smile: "I played for a long time in the morning and fainted for a long time in the afternoon. It's no wonder I'm not free."

As soon as the tent door slammed, Yang Xiu walked in with a smile: "Is Sun Jun awake? Are you hungry? Get up and wash up quickly. The prime minister has set up a banquet for Sun Jun. All the companions have arrived, and we are waiting for Sun Jun, the distinguished guest. gone."

"Hahaha... I'm really embarrassed to keep you waiting." Sun Shao stood up, washed his face, and followed Yang Xiu into Cao Cao's big tent.Sure enough, the big tent was brightly lit, and more than a dozen tables were neatly arranged. The servants were serving food on the table. Zhang Liao and other generals were in the south, and Xun You and other civil servants were in the north. Although there were many people, there was no one there. say.

Cao Cao sat facing east, and when he saw Sun Shao, he smiled and waved.

"Is Mr. Cao safe?" Sun Shao rushed to Cao Cao and bowed to salute.

"Thanks for having you today, otherwise the old man will suffer." Cao Cao waved his hands, stood up, and clapped his hands together.The already quiet big tent became even quieter, and all the civil servants and generals turned their gazes.

"Gentlemen, I have a banquet today to introduce a young hero to everyone." Cao Cao's laughter surprised Sun Shao. It's a little too much to introduce yourself.As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to show courtesy, you can either rape or steal. I guess this old traitor has no good intentions.He was disobedient in his heart, but his face remained calm, just looking at Cao Cao with a smile.Cao Cao took Sun Shao's arm and walked in front of the crowd: "This is the son of the rebellious general Sun Bofu, Sun Shao and Sun Fengxian. This morning, he showed his might and fought against General Wenyuan and his son, and he still won. With Wen Yuan's trick, it can be said that the tiger father has no dog son."

Everyone was a little surprised. Some people were in the rear army and didn't know about it at all. Although some people were in the front army and knew that there was a challenge ahead, they didn't know that they were challenging Zhang Liao and even defeated Zhang Liao.When they heard this, they were all very surprised.

However, Sun Shao quickly explained: "Mr. Cao praised, the boy is not the opponent of General Wen Yuan, he is merciful, if he didn't just want to let go of my weapon at that time, but took advantage of the situation and stabbed straight, the boy would have died on the battlefield Yes. General Wen Yuan, boy, I will thank you for your life-saving grace later."

Zhang Liao was a bit nervous at first, but now he heard what Sun Shao said, he immediately smiled: "Sun Jun is being polite, it's not that Zhang Liao doesn't want to win you, it's just that he is powerless. Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed. They subconsciously agreed with Sun Shao's words. It seemed a little mysterious for a young man from the south to win Zhang Liao immediately.Cao Cao stroked his beard, looked at Sun Shao with a smile and said nothing, and when they were polite, he smiled again: "Sun Jun not only fought with Wen Yuan, but also saved Gu's life today. If it wasn't for him, Gu might have died today." I can't see you, gentlemen."

Everyone was stunned again.

Sun Shao hurriedly said modestly again: "Mr. Cao is worried about the common people in the world. God will bless good people. The boy just knows when he meets him. Even if there is no boy, Mr. Cao will be fine."

"It's not easy for young people to have such a mind." Cao Cao laughed heartily and said, "I'll tell you all, when I was so young, I wanted to be famous all over the world. I don't know how to be humble. Boy, the country is troubled, so we should work hard." what."

Sun Shao smiled wryly, he understood that Cao Cao was flattering and killing him at all, and now that he is giving him face like this, it would be no wonder if Lu Yi and Gan Yu went back and said that Sun Quan was not angry.He shook his head helplessly, Lao Cao was Lao Cao, and he killed people quietly.If he didn't boast like this, he might still be an official when he goes back. If he did this, it would be tantamount to creating a big problem for Sun Quan.

"Come on, I will introduce the warriors in my tent to Sun Jun." Cao Cao took Sun Shao's arm and walked to the side of the civil servant: "This is Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang. You already know him. He is full of resourcefulness and tricks. A person is a lonely think tank. This is Liu Fang Liu Yanlong of Zhuo County. He participated in the military affairs of the prime minister. It's beyond Gu's reach. When I was marching, I encountered a stele written by Handan Chun. On it was Cai Bojie's inscription "young silk young woman, grandson Jijiu". Gu and Dezu analyzed the meaning together, and he blurted out, But Gu thought about it for thirty miles. Sun Jun, do you know what it means?"

Of course Sun Shao knew that this story was too famous.However, he still hesitated for a while and said: "Grandpa Cao's talent is still [-] miles away, and the boy must ride a horse for at least a day to make it possible."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing out loud, and everyone laughed too.Yang Xiu has always been very proud of this matter, and now he is even more proud, stroking his beard and looking around proudly.

Cao Cao went on to introduce. He seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and he introduced twenty or thirty at a time without feeling tired.Sun Shao greeted them one by one. There were not only familiar names among these people, but also many people he was unfamiliar with. If he had the opportunity to comment on Cao Cao today, he would naturally remember it carefully.Everyone saw that he was handsome, good at martial arts, and well-spoken, and they were very satisfied. Seeing Cao Cao's praise, no matter whether he understood it or not, they dared to neglect him. One by one, they came up to salute and toast Sun Shao.Sun Shao did not refuse anyone who came, and he drank until he was very drunk, and then he was finished by Lu Yi and Gan Yu.

When he woke up the next day, the people sent by Liu Ye were already waiting outside.After Sun Shao washed up, he followed to Liu Ye's tent. Liu Ye laughed when he saw him, "Sun Jun is so generous."

Sun Shao shook his head embarrassingly: "Yesterday, Meng Lang broke down. I'm ashamed."

"When you're young, it's okay to be wild." Liu Ye said with a faint smile: "Sun Jun is heroic, and the Prime Minister loves Sun Jun very much. Sun Jun is good at martial arts. It's a pity to be a school captain. Are you interested in seeing the Prime Minister?" The account? The prime minister knows people well, and with Sun Jun's ability, it is expected that he will be named a marquis and a general in the future."

Sun Shao was silent for a moment, but still shook his head: "Shao is lazy by nature, not used to being restrained, thank you Prime Minister for being wrong, Shao dare not be the one."

Liu Ye smiled and looked at Sun Shao without saying a word, not surprised, and asked after a while: "Since Sun Shao refuses to give in, what request does Sun Shao have, the prime minister wants to reward you for your rescue."

Sun Shao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Liu Ye with a half-smile. "really?"

Liu Ye couldn't help laughing: "Of course it's true, why should the Prime Minister joke with you?"

"I intend to do business. If it is convenient for the Prime Minister, please give me a pass and let me pass through the world." Sun Shao said with bright eyes: "It would be great if I can be exempted from taxes. .”

Liu Ye was a little hesitant. He looked at Sun Shao's face and found it a little unbelievable. This is a good official, and you want to do business?But looking at Sun Shao's face, it didn't seem like a lie. Thinking about Sun Shao selling wine in Jiangdong, he understood a little, so he didn't say any more. "I'll report this matter to the Prime Minister right away, please wait for a moment, this is the blueprint of the thunderbolt car, is Sun Jun interested?"

Sun Shao looked at the drawing that Liu Ye was holding tightly in his hand, but did not speak. He looked at Liu Ye with a smile and said, "Sir, do you want to exchange something with me?"

Liu Ye grinned, patted the drawing lightly, and sighed: "This is a sharp weapon in the military. You know that it is impossible to take it lightly on outsiders. It's just that you have contributed to helping the prime minister this time, so the prime minister has allowed you to take a look at it." Look, but you can't look in vain, don't you think?"

Sun Shao leaned back, touched the fluff that had just emerged on his lips, and frowned: "But I don't seem to have anything to exchange with you, do you want money? It seems that the Prime Minister is not bad for me. How about some money? But besides money, I have nothing, right?"

"No money." Liu Ye looked at Sun Shao's face and said slowly, "I want the recipe for that wine, which is the wine I drank yesterday."

Cao Cao received a detailed report last night, saying that a large amount of wine from the new wine workshop in Jianye had been shipped to various military camps recently, and the wine was not for drinking, but for healing. Although the specific effect is not yet known, but Judging from Jiangdong's cautious situation, the effect of this wine should not be bad.Cao Cao fell in love as soon as he heard it, and it happened that Liu Ye was going to report that Sun Shao wanted to see the thunderbolt car, so he asked Liu Ye to test Sun Shao's attitude.In their view, Sun Shao is going to be an official now, and they can fulfill his wish, and I believe Sun Shao will be very happy.But none of them thought that the wine for healing and the wine for drinking are actually not the same thing.

Contrary to Liu Ye's expectation, Sun Shao shook his head again and again when he heard it: "Forgive me for not following orders."

"Why?"

"Sir, I don't know. Although I am a captain now, I have no soldiers under my command. I have a salary, but I can't support my family. Now I rely on this wine to make money. I gave you the prescription. Don't I want to go hungry?" Death? To be honest, I want to see this thunderbolt car. On the one hand, I want to see Mr.'s amazing skills. On the other hand, I want to see if it can be installed on a big ship so that it can be used against pirates in the future. But you want my wine Fangzi, hehe, that’s not acceptable.”

"Going to sea?" Liu Ye pondered for a moment, but he was silent.

Sun Shao said again: "I can't give you the recipe for the wine, and I can't cut off my fortune. If the prime minister allows me to do business in the Central Plains, I can monopolize it in the Central Plains, and I guarantee that you can drink this kind of wine. As for the thunderbolt Che, I have another prescription, maybe it is worth exchanging with you, I don’t know if you are interested in it.”

"Is there anything else that can compare to this thunderbolt car?" Liu Ye disagreed.

"Zhuifeng San." Sun Shao said word by word: "Zhuifeng San, which specializes in treating head wind."

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, his body trembled involuntarily, and his always steady voice became a little trembling: "Zhuifengsan, which cures head wind? Are you serious?"

"really."

Liu Ye stared at Sun Shao's face for a long time, then suddenly got up and said, "Wait." After speaking, before Sun Shao could react, he grabbed the blueprint and ran away.Of course Sun Shao knew what he was doing, so he was not in a hurry, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister." Liu Ye quickly walked into Cao Cao's big tent. Cao Cao, who was reading official documents, looked up at him and said with a smile, "Why, Sun Shao agreed?"

"No." Panting, Liu Ye saluted hastily and sat opposite Cao Cao. "Prime Minister, he doesn't want to give a prescription for wine, but he has a prescription, Zhuifengsan, which is specially designed to treat head wind."

Cao Cao originally wanted to make fun of Liu Ye, but he was taken aback when he heard this, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a thud: "Zhuifengsan?"

"Exactly."

"Is it credible?" Cao Cao questioned, after thinking about it, he stopped asking.Sun Shao can use massage to relieve his headache, so it is not impossible to have a prescription for Zhuifeng San.It's just that the thunderbolt car is a weapon in the army. If this thing is given to Sun Shao, it is equivalent to giving it to Sun Quan. How many more casualties will be added in the future?But if there really is Zhuifengsan, and if my headache can be cured, then I can also suffer a lot less.This wind has tortured me a lot recently.

Cao Cao hesitated.

Liu Ye looked at Cao Cao who was rolling his eyes, and knew that he was weighing things up, so he didn't dare to speak out. After a while, Cao Cao let out a sigh of persuasion: "Does he not want to be an official?"

Liu Ye also regained his composure, and said with a faint smile, "I want to, but he doesn't dare. I see what he means, he is very afraid of Sun Quan, and he may not want to fight among himself, so he said he wants to go to sea, and he hopes that the prime minister will Let him do business in the Central Plains, and give him the privilege of tax exemption."

"Business?" Cao Cao curled his lips, dismissively, he did not believe that Sun Shao was telling the truth.No matter how big a businessman is, if he doesn't have the power to guarantee it, he is just a fat sheep, which looks like his own, but is actually raised for others.This boy Sun Shao is not that stupid, how could he be so childish, his father started his life by killing people, so it is impossible not to know this truth.If it is said that he does not want to fight internally with Sun Quan, it is a little possible, which shows that he still knows to take care of the overall situation.

"Looks like I'm going to force him." Cao Cao picked up the pen again, tapped his finger on the case lightly: "He wants to endure, but Sun Quan may not be able to bear it. Ziyang, think of a way to make him and Sun Quan unable to get along. Allow."

Liu Ye thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's unlikely now. Even if Sun Shao has the heart, he doesn't have the strength. Sun Ce's old department has almost passed away. Today's Jiangdong is under Sun Quan's world. If he wants to If he wants to get ahead, I am afraid that Sun Quan will not give him this opportunity. He wants to do business and go to sea, and he is probably aware of this, so he took the initiative to avoid suspicion."

"Hey hey, do you think he would dedicate it to Sun Quan if he had the blueprint of the Perak Chariot?" Cao Cao smiled, as if he already had an idea.

"It's hard to say." Liu Ye said solemnly. After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind: "Prime Minister, I have a plan to force Sun Shao and Sun Quan to turn against each other."

"Say it."

Liu Ye said a few words in a low voice, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and smiled from the corners of his eyes, he nodded, "This strategy is very clever, if it really works, no matter how he deals with it, he won't be able to achieve both. "
