The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 147 Set sail to meet all changes without change
"Sixty percent." Yu Fan also said a little uneasy.At that time, in order to grab time, although he felt that it was a bit too high, he still agreed. He felt that Sun Shao wanted to haggle the price anyway, so we can just talk about it when the time comes.

Sun Shao didn't say anything, his mouth was crooked, looking very painful.Kong Zhu and the others looked at each other, but no one said a word. Although they were mentally prepared to lower the price, if they lowered the price at the beginning of the negotiation, they would lose momentum.So this must be said by Sun Shao. As soon as he asks for a price reduction, he will be wrong first, and it will be easier to talk about it when he talks again.

"The strength of the gentlemen is not small." Sun Shaogu said about him, "I helped me refit more than 100 ships within a month, and my strength is not weaker than Houguan Shipyard."

Kong Zhu frowned, feeling an ominous smell.Private workshops are stronger than the government's shipyards. This is not a compliment, it is usually the beginning of extortion. He glanced at Yu Fan and thought that this time Shangyu Fan was fooled by this old guy.He praised Sun Shao like a flower, but that's what Sun Shao said when he came up, which was the same as his old son Sun Ce's routine before killing people.After hearing this, Wei Xiu, Sheng Gu and the others also felt a little chilly, and they were a little worried that not only would they not be able to keep [-]%, but about [-]% would be problematic.

Sun Shao took a sip of tea, keeping the obviously tense atmosphere for a while, and then sighed: "Although there are quite a few people in Liucheng, there will be no big rewards, and there will be no brave men. Mr. Zhong Xiang handled it very well." That's right, then it's settled."

Although he said that Yu Fan handled it properly, his tone clearly said that Yu Fan had given too much, and he reluctantly agreed because of Yu Fan's face.Yu Fan heaved a sigh of relief and felt grateful, while the others were a little overjoyed, and looked at Yu Fan with a little more envy.This old guy is not very popular, but he really has a lot of face. Sun Shao actually did a good deed for Kuaiji because he agreed to this request, which was obviously suspected of extortion.

"I am very grateful for the general's heart." Wei Xiu first thanked him: "I heard that the general had a new son not long ago. Xiu heard that it was too late, and I have not come to congratulate him. I would like to offer a hundred gold to bathe the general."

Although Sun Shao is very rich now, he almost bit his tongue. The Wei family is really rich, and they are worth a hundred gold when they meet.My son needs a hundred gold to take a bath?Well, then you can make a gold bath plate.

Kong Zhu was unwilling to fall into it, and immediately caught up: "Zhu is willing to offer a hundred gold to make some new clothes for your son."

"I'll give you a hundred gold, and make powder money for the general's wife."

"..."

In the blink of an eye, there were seven or eight bamboo slips on the table in front of Sun Shao, each of which was worth hundreds of gold.Sun Shao was filled with emotion, his mother, after such a short time, my precious son will become a rich man.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Shao is very grateful." Sun Shao accepted it all with a smile on his face.Poor, I used to be a person who hated corrupt officials so much, how could I become a corrupt official now?

After accepting the money, everyone immediately got closer, talking and laughing about business matters.Between a few cups of tea, Kong Zhu and the others each reported the ships they were going to do business in the South China Sea this time. There were seventy or eighty ships more, and hundreds of ships less. There are so many boats, these few companies together are more than all the merchants in Jianye City combined.Later, when he asked Yu Fan, he found out that their ships usually don’t go to Jianye, most of them are sold in Qiantang, Wuxian, and Shanyin, and some of them go directly to Yuzhang County in Zhejiang, because they these few There is no one in the officialdom. If you go to the Yangtze River, there will be too many autumn winds along the way, and He Qi, the prefect of Xindu County, is from Kuaiji. If you go from Xindu County, they can save a lot of money.

After making an appointment for the departure time, everyone dispersed in satisfaction.Yu Fan was very happy. Today he not only gained face in front of his fellow countrymen, but also gained benefits. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his Yu family accounted for at least [-]% of the [-]%, which was well known to everyone.And if Sun Shao cut it down to [-]% today, he can't take more, and everyone will definitely ask for an equal share.Although he is not short of this little money, who thinks it is too much?Besides, he doesn't love money, so he can't make the rest of the Yu family love money too.

Everything went well. A few days later, more than 800 merchant ships set sail from Qiantangkou, and Sun Shao left Yu Fan's eldest son Yu Ying and Gan Yu to guard the Houguan shipyard.He left them 2000 people, and now the big pirates in the East China Sea have become naval forces, and the Houguan Shipyard is very safe, 2000 people are enough.Gan Yu is inexplicably grateful. Although he is only a captain now, but Sun Shao handed over the shipyard to him, he is actually at least a general. If Sun Quan sends another person to take over the shipyard, he can go to fight with Sun Shao again. If Sun Quan gave Sun Shao a face and let him take charge of the shipyard, he would be promoted to official position sooner or later, and his survival crisis would be over.

……

At the beginning of May, when the southeast wind was blowing gradually, Sun Shao led a mighty fleet into Panyu Port, and when he returned here a year later, his momentum was completely different.When he came last time, there were only ten ships, and he became a general of Henghai. Shiwei insulted him and gave him five broken ships. Now he has nearly a thousand warships under his command, and there are seven large ships, which are more majestic than Shiwei. too much.

Bu Zhi was overjoyed like rain after a long drought, and took his officials to greet him outside Panyu City.Although Shiwei was not convinced, but now the situation was pressing, he had to follow him out of the city. When he saw Sun Shao's huge fleet at the pier, his face immediately looked like a persimmon that had been stepped on.Last year, he was bullied by Bu Zhi, who abducted half of the troops, and later almost turned against him, and was almost seized by the soldiers. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity and cried to a few uncles, and finally the uncle was heartbroken Soft, forgive him this meal, but he put down his words again, if you make a mistake again and lose some strength here, don't blame me for not being sympathetic, I can't throw all the strength of the navy in your hands.At that time, Shiwei repeatedly kowtowed and assured several elders that he must be careful in his work.In October last year, when he cooperated with Bu Zhi to conquer Zhuya, he joined Bu Zhi at a critical moment, almost planted Bu Zhi in it, and the defeated Bu Zhi lost completely. To meet the requirements of the escort, it can be regarded as the release of a curse on their heads.

Things were pretty good at first, but they estimated at the time that even if Sun Quan could wipe out the pirates in the East China Sea, it would take a year or so. After winning the battle, it would take time for stability. If Bu Zhi wants to reorganize the navy he can control, That's even more difficult.Therefore, they were at ease, calmly waiting for Sun Quan's next move.Knowing that Lu Fan lost his troops in the East China Sea, they smiled knowingly.The East China Sea is not peaceful, merchant ships dare not go north, all goods can only be handled in the South China Sea, and they earn a lot more.So they were very happy to hoard goods at low prices, and at the same time complained to Bu Zhi that the sea route was blocked, which affected their money.

No one expected that as soon as Sun Shao came out of the East China Sea, he could deal with Su Chuleg in a few words. The pirate king of the East China Sea surrendered just like that, and then Sun Shao swept across the East China Sea like a tsunami, and then rushed to Jiaozhou.

Shiwei felt a chill.This guy Sun Shao is too insidious. Last time he only had fifteen boats. He first pretended to be Cui Qian's subordinates to scare away the little pirates, then captured the headhunter alive, and then swept all the way, eating all the pirates along the way suffered.If it wasn't for the bad time, maybe he could help Bu Zhi attack Zhuya.I thought he would not come back after he left, but he not only came back, but also brought more than 5000 sailors with him.

Shiwei knew that with his current strength, he couldn't interfere with Sun Shao. Sun Shao could completely leave him alone and ask him to clearly and clearly join hands with the pirates to deal with Sun Shao. To be honest, he didn't have the guts yet.Sun Shao is so insidious, who knows if he is openly dealing with Cui Qian, but secretly preparing to deal with him?
"What's wrong with the general? You don't look very good." Sun Shao said to Shiwei with a smile all over his face, "Did you fight against the pirates too hard recently? Don't worry, since I'm here, I will definitely help you and wipe out Zhuya."

Shiwei laughed twice: "With General Huwei, it is natural that he will succeed immediately and win the flag." He cupped his hands and said very politely: "General Shiwei will follow the lead of the horse."

"Hahaha..." Sun Shao laughed loudly, "You are too polite, general. The last time I conquered Xu Wen, I was taken care of by the general. This time, I must repay the general's favor."

Shiwei licked his lips, thinking that this kid still holds a grudge, last time he was asked to be the striker, this time it was his turn to be the striker for him.Difficult, as a striker, should I play or not?If you fight, you will definitely suffer losses. If you don't fight, wouldn't that just give him an excuse?

Buzhi was very happy to see Shiwei's constipated face. In the past six months, he had been spoiled by Shiwei. Shiwei came to the governor's mansion to complain when he was free, and begged him for the prefect of the South China Sea.When I heard that Lu Fan was defeated in the East China Sea, he almost agreed. Later, when he received the news that Sun Shao sent troops, he supported it again.He believes that Sun Shao can settle Su's thick legs in the East China Sea, and then move to the South China Sea.At that time, he didn't dare to think too much, he just hoped that Sun Shao could bring 5000 people, so that he wouldn't be overwhelmed by Shiwei.Unexpectedly, Sun Shao had more than 1 people when he came, which made him very happy.

After entering the city, Bu Zhi invited Zhang Zhao and Sun Shao to the study, first handed over the seal and ribbon of the prefect of the South China Sea to Zhang Zhao, and then asked, "Feng Xian, what's your plan?"

Sun Shao looked at Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao coughed, "Zishan, is the sea chart ready?"

Bu Zhi's black face turned red, knowing that he was a little too impatient.Looking at it like this, Sun Shao probably has no plans to do anything in the short term, and it should be after the hurricane season in July and August is over.He shook his head and took out some maps: "Don't dare to lie to Mr. Zhang. Although I sent people to measure the charts, but... I can't guarantee whether these charts are correct. First, I can't believe these people. Second, As far as their level is concerned, I also have my doubts. Fengxian, Yu Lu and the two are by your side, do you have a plan to redraw the chart?"

Sun Shao smiled, Bu Zhi was unconvinced by the defeat, he said intentionally or unintentionally that he had a lot of resources, he might be thinking, if he had fifteen thousand soldiers and talents like Lu Ji and Yu Fan, he would be able to win.But why didn't he think about it, when I left Jianye, there were only 1000 or [-] boats, more than [-] people, and my subordinates still had a lot of opinions, and they might stab me in the back at any time?
"I don't think this is a question of whether or not, but a must." Sun Shao replied calmly, "Shi Xie has been operating in Jiaozhou for 30 to [-] years, and we will spend at least two or three years? It's too urgent, it may not be Good thing. My men have never been to Jiaozhou, and they need time to get familiar with the terrain. Fujun, please issue an order to restore the rules of naval escort."

"I know." Bu Zhi nodded again and again, looking at Sun Shao with a strange look in his eyes.When Sun Shao came last time, he was the only one who pushed everything away, lest people doubt him, but this time it was different, there was an atmosphere from the inside to the outside, and there was no such thing in every gesture. A kind of cautiousness hidden in the bone.

"Mr. Gongji has trained 1 people who are capable of surveying. We can conduct multiple surveys. We will survey the islands along the way in the shortest time and draw a reliable chart. First, clear the periphery and gradually move towards Zhuya. Approaching." Sun Shao drew a virtual circle on the chart, and then put his finger on Xu Wen: "For convenience, I want to transfer the Jiaozhou Navy's station to Xu Wen, and monitor Cui Qian nearby. I want to see if Cui Qian can sit still with more than [-] people in Xuwen."

Bu Zhi looked at the map, and nodded again and again: "This is good, this is good, not to mention the time to go back and forth, and it can also take care of Jiaozhi and Hepu counties. Zhang Gong, Fengxian, you see, should we force Shi Yi first?" Hand over the prefect of Hepu?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head: "I don't think so. Feng Xian is not familiar with Hepu, so he took over all at once, which would easily cause uneasiness among the local people. It is better to take his time to give Shi Yi a chance to provoke. There are more than 1 people in town. , Shi Yi should restrain himself a little bit."

Bu Zhi hesitated, he did not agree with Zhang Zhao's opinion.If Shi Yi, the prefect, is not removed, all Sun Shao's expenses will be handled by Shi Yi. It is entirely possible that Shi Yi will use this excuse to rake in money, and then push all the responsibilities on Sun Shao, causing Hepu local People are dissatisfied with Sun Shao.But he was a little afraid of Zhang Zhao, and he didn't dare to speak out against him, so he had to look at Sun Shao.Sun Shao didn't seem to see it, he just stared at the map, opened his hands to measure on the map, shook his head for a while, and laughed again for a while.

Bu Zhi finally decided not to say that both the teacher and the student were people Sun Quan didn't like. Since Sun Quan sent them, the teacher and the student, there must be his intentions, perhaps to make him suffer. .That being the case, let Sun Shao go for it. If something goes wrong, it won't be too late for him to come forward.

"It's up to Zhang Gong." Bu Zhi nodded vaguely, and the little excitement that he could feel at first has now disappeared without a trace.

"Emissary, please immediately order the counties to prepare at least half a year's supply of food and supplies for the army." Sun Shao raised his head from the map and looked directly at Bu Zhi, "directly transport it to Xuwen, and I will receive it there. Order Xuwen Lingshi Hong, If there is a slight mistake in the grain and grass, he will take full responsibility."

Bu Zhi nodded, expressionless.

……

"Okay." Shi Yi put down the official document lightly, and raised the corner of his mouth: "You just go and prepare."

Shi Hong didn't move, looking into Shi Yi's eyes: "How much? Thirty percent?"

"Thirty percent?" Shi Yi snorted, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Shi Hong, and then turned it over: "Double."

"Double?" Shi Hong gasped: "That's not about to fall out."

"It's better to turn it over." Shi Yi glared at him, and shouted sharply: "You want to be safe, do you want to be safe? More than 1 troops are stationed in Xu Wen, what kind of shit is Xu Wen Ling like you? Where is Xu Wen? ? Xuwen is the place with the most wealth in Jiaozhou, he came to Xuwen not for Cui Qian, but for Xuwen City."

"I understand." Shi Hong suddenly realized, and got up to leave.

"Wait." Shi Yi stopped Shi Hong: "Send someone to notify Cui Qian, saying that the Sun Shao who pretended to be him last year is here again, this time it's not as simple as pretending to be him, but to kill him, my Shi The family can't protect themselves, and they can't help, so let him take care of himself. Fight if you can, surrender as soon as possible, or run away."

Shi Hong nodded again and again, he thought for a while: "Aren't we going to join the war?"

"Sun Shao has a lot of people, and Bu Zhi suffered our losses twice in a row. Do you think he will give you a chance?" Shi Yi curled his lips, dismissively: "Let's take a look at it, look at this Just how good is the kid from the Sun family? Jiang Su with thick legs? I wonder if he can say Jiang Cui Qian."

Shi Hong held back a smile, turned around and left.Shi Yi turned to his second son, Shi Kuang, and said, "Tell me, what is going on with Sun Shao's talk about Jiang Su's thick legs? Why is it so weird to me? Su's thick legs are in full bloom. Lian Houguan Shipyard If you dare to go and beat Lu Fan to the point of losing his generals, how come Sun Shao surrendered as soon as he went?"

Shi Kuang smiled wryly and shook his head. Everyone thought this was weird, but no one could tell what was weird.They also knew that Sun Shao had a friendship with Su Chugai. Sun Shao once swaggered across the sea with Su Chukuqi's battle flag, but this friendship could make Su Chugui surrender?Then Sun Shao also hung Cui Qian's battle flag, could it be said that they also have friendship?

"Let's report to your uncle quickly. I feel that Sun Shao's arrival is not kind this time. Sun Quan may be playing some tricks to let him make up his mind as soon as possible." Shi Yi rubbed his brows and sighed: "It's not easy to stay here. Staying in Xu Wenlai, isn't that embarrassing for me?"

……

"What's the matter?" Shi Xie lay on the rocking chair, relaxed and at ease: "He has a thousand tricks, but I am as immovable as a mountain. Zhuya is so big, where can Cui Qian hide? Can he find it? Ten thousand people , 1 people scattered to Zhuya, but they couldn’t even find a shadow. There are so many ports in Zhuya, big and small, let him search slowly, if Cui Qian can’t deal with this, he should die.”

"What about us?" Shi Kuang asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, we will do whatever Bu Zhi asks us to do. Even if he wants the prefect of Hepu, we will give it to him." Shi Xie's wrinkled eyes trembled: "A boy who was only 20 years old happened to beat him. After two victories, he thought he was invincible. Sun Quan really has no one under his command, either foreign relatives or the clan, apart from these relatives, who else can he have under his command?"
