The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 157 Set Sail, Small Bridge, Flowing Water
"Huaiji?" Sun Shao couldn't help laughing out loud: "Supreme will let me go to Kuaiji?"

"Why not?" Yu Fan asked back: "Guaiji Qiantangkou can go northward for a day or two to reach Guangling, and use Guangling as a base to attack Xuzhou. Huaiyin. Once Huaiyin is touched, Xuzhou will be within the front of the army. Moreover, once the general enters Huaiyin, Zang Ba's safety will be directly threatened. Zang Ba's Qingxu Navy will naturally withdraw from the river, so that Jiangdong can gain an invincible position. Qian Tangkou now has the ability to repair ships, which can just meet the needs of the general, does the general think that the supreme will always put the Houguan shipyard in your hands?"

Sun Shao understood a little bit. Yu Fan didn't mean that Sun Quan would give him Kuaiji County, but that he would stay in Qiantangkou.Qian Tangkou's several big families have the strength to help him repair the ship, but they don't have the strength to help him build a large number of ships, which can not only meet his needs, but also control his development.As for Yu Fan, since he is stationed at Qiantangkou, the Kuaiji family will have strong support and can gain more benefits.It can be seen from these Tian Yufan's words that although he is in a good mood now, he has not regarded Nanhai as his home after all. I have a lot of respect for him, so I'm in a good mood.

"We can't start from Guangling." Sun Shao shook his head, denying Yu Fan's plan: "The water in Zhongdu is shallow, and buildings and ships cannot pass smoothly. We can only use medium-sized warships to fight against the Qingxu Navy, and the damage will increase. And enter Zhongdu Water, will be subject to terrain, we can no longer come and go without a trace as we do now."

Yu Fan heard the implication. Sun Shao was unwilling to attack Huaiyin from Guangling. Of course, he was worried about the bad terrain, but he was more worried about being controlled by others.Although it is said that Sun Shao is the defender of Guangling, Sun Shao is not his elder brother after all, and the relationship between the two is not very good. If Sun Shao accepts Sun Quan's order and controls Sun Shao's retreat, Sun Shaoke will be in a dilemma up.

"Through the Huai River? But in this case, the difficulty of transporting luggage will be greatly increased."

"If he wants me to go to war, he will naturally arrange my luggage. We don't need to worry about this issue." Sun Shao pouted, not wanting to discuss this topic any more.First, these are still Yu Fan’s estimates. Although the possibility is very high, they have not yet become a reality. Second, he originally considered Liaodong, not the Kuaiji that Yu Fan hoped for. It may be too late to talk about it now. morning.Yu Fan didn't even want to stay in Jiaozhou, telling him that Liaodong was just asking for trouble.

Seeing that Sun Shao lacked interest, Yu Fan thought that Sun Shao was playing tricks like before, forcing Sun Quan to give him supplies, otherwise he would not join the battle, but he didn't think about what Sun Shao was thinking.He didn't object to this approach. It would be a good thing if he didn't join the war, as long as it didn't get caught.If Sun Shao can be tough and proportionate, then these people will have a good life following Sun Shao.

……

Bu Zhi rushed to Jiaozhi, and Shi Xie knew that his situation was over, so he took the initiative to go out of the city to plead guilty.Bu Zhi knew that although he had the upper hand, the strength of the Shi family was still there, and it was not yet time to wipe them all out, so he did not accept Shi Xie's request to resign as the prefect of Jiaozhi, and retained Shi You's Jiuzhen prefect.But he said, according to court practice, officials with two thousand shi can make their sons their sons, so don't disappoint the supreme kindness, send your sons to Jianye.Shi Xie and Shi You knew that the so-called being a man meant being a proton, and they would have been unwilling to do so before, but now they couldn't do it anymore, so they could only nod in agreement.Ten days later, Shi Xie's youngest son, Shi Qian, led five scholars' children to Jianye under the escort of people arranged by Bu Zhi. They also accompanied a large amount of property and Jiaozhou's rent tax this year-the amount was three times that of last year.

So far, Bu Zhi has collected six of the seven counties in Jiaozhou, and only Li Jing, the prefect of Rinan County, has not yet served, but he doesn't care. Go straight to Nichinan, if there is no accident, Sun Shao will definitely not let Li Jing go.His most urgent task right now is to return to Nanhai County, seize Shiwei's military power, and take this navy force into his hands. Otherwise, Nanhai will be completely controlled by Sun Shao, and he has no right to speak at all.

In front of Shi Xie's autograph letter and Bu Zhi's 200 elite soldiers, Shi Wei, like a defeated rooster, completely lowered his once high head, bowed his head, and handed over more than 4000 warships and more than [-] soldiers in his hands. .

Bu Zhi, who had finished his work, did not stop at any time, and sent six hundred miles to rush the news of victory to Jianye.

When Sun Quan received the battle report, he was ecstatic at first, and then became a little worried.If Sun Shao's predictions can be realized in the end, Jiaozhou will become his stable rear, just like Cao Cao had Jizhou at the beginning, he will also have a base that can provide him with a steady stream of wealth and food.More importantly, from now on, he no longer needs to collect taxes from Yangzhou alone, and the burden on Yangzhou will be greatly reduced, which will also benefit his rule over the six counties in Jiangdong.What he was worried about was that Sun Shao had played a decisive role in this battle, and he had to give rewards in time to boost morale.How to reward has become a problem.

Sun Shao is now General Fubo. If he has made great achievements, if he is promoted again, he will at least be a partial general. Not only must he be promoted to a position, but he must also be named a marquis. That more than 1 sailors.This is Jiangdong's practice, and every general is like this, and Sun Shao is no exception. Therefore, it seems logical that Sun Shao asked to set up a county in Zhuya and include Zhuya in his food town.

It's not that Sun Quan was reluctant to part with Zhu Ya, he felt that Zhu Ya was a barren land with limited rents and taxes, but it seemed rather abrupt for Sun Shao to ask for it on his own initiative.Before that, everything about Sun Shao was given by him, it was he who gave it to Sun Shao, not what Sun Shao took the initiative to ask for.

This shows that Sun Shao has both strength and ambition, which makes Sun Quan very disturbed.This was what he was most worried about, but now it was slowly becoming a reality.What worries him even more is that he finds that he can't stop this from happening.

Now lift Sun Shao's military power?Regardless of whether Sun Shao will agree or not, even if he can agree, who can take over his people?Su Chugai is a pirate, Cui Qian is a pirate, they were all captured by Sun Shaoping, once Sun Shao leaves, will they re-enter the sea as pirates?They are the main force of Sun Shao's subordinates. Su Chugui has nearly 4000 people, Cui Qiansan has 3000 people, and Yue Hai, who was originally an officer and soldier, has less than [-] people. He was so grateful to Sun Shao.

If Sun Shao is removed, if something changes, he may not only not get the 1 sailors, but will have more than 1 pirates.What's more frightening is that these pirates are now equipped with naval warships, and their strength is only stronger than before. Once they wreak havoc on the East China Sea and South China Sea again, it will be a nightmare, and Jiaozhou will definitely miss again.

Sun Quan didn't dare to take this risk, at least he couldn't manipulate Sun Shao's strength until he found a suitable replacement.

But how can he sleep peacefully if Sun Shao is allowed to develop like this without his hands and feet?In just one year, Sun Shao suddenly emerged and became one of the few important generals in Jiangdong. If he was given another three to five years, would he blow his uncle out of power?

Sun Quan's temples thumped wildly, and he felt palpitations. After more than ten years of prevention, he still couldn't prevent it, and Sun Shao accidentally made him grow up.Now that he has lost control, the final result depends on how big Sun Shao's ambitions are. Does he just want to be a general, or do he want to go one step further and inherit his father's career and become the lord of Jiangdong?
"Ah Weng—" Sun Luban rushed in like a gust of wind, and threw himself into Sun Quan's arms.

"Dahu, why do you want to find Ah Weng?" Sun Quan put down the battle report in his hand, put his arms around Sun Luban, and smiled affectionately.

"They don't play with me!" Sun Luban pointed out angrily.

"Who won't play with you?" Sun Quan asked with a smile: "Who is so bold that won't play with my tiger?"

"It's your two tigers."

Sun Quan understood.Huzi refers to Ling Tong's two sons. He raised them in the mansion. In order to train them, in addition to arranging for people to teach them martial arts and reading every day, he also let them ride a horse every ten days.These two children have the legacy of Ling Tong, they study hard, and they also have aura in martial arts. He is very happy and calls them Huzi many times.Probably Dumb thought she was the real tiger, and now that she was robbed of her title, she was unhappy and came to sue.

As he was speaking, Sun Luyu, the little tiger, dragged Mrs. Bu over and rushed over. Seeing Sun Luban in Sun Quan's arms, Mrs. Bu hurried forward to pull her away.Sun Luban pouted, and hugged Sun Quan's neck, and Sun Quan waved his hands with a smile. Mrs. Yi Bu sat down opposite, and then said with a smile, "What's going on? Why are the children quarreling again?"

Mrs. Bu was a little helpless, and gave Sun Luban a look: "It's not her, she insisted on fighting with Ling Lie and Ling Feng, saying that the tiger is the one who wins, but it turned out..."

"What happened?" Sun Quan was a little puzzled. Ling Lie was the same age as Sun Luban. Although the boy was a little later in development and half a head smaller than Sun Luban, that boy was very fierce and good at fighting. Could it be? He beat Sun Luban?

Mrs. Bu sighed and told the whole story.Sun Luban provoked Ling Lie many times.Ling Lie knew his identity, so of course he didn't dare to fight back, but Sun Luban refused to give up. He cornered Ling Lie several times and beat him hard, finally angered Ling Lie and accepted Sun Luban's challenge.The result was very surprising. Although Ling Lie got really angry, he was still not Sun Luban's opponent. Sun Luban punched him until his eyes were black, and he was pressed to the ground and ate a mouthful of mud.What's more serious is that Sun Luban was so powerful that he forced Ling Lie to admit that he was a dog.This is a bit too bullying. Although Ling Lie is young, he doesn't want to insult Ling Tong, so he refuses to admit it. As a result, Sun Luban beats her every time he sees her. Ling Lie feels like he has seen a ghost when he sees her. Dare to play with her.

"You beat Ariel?" Sun Quan couldn't help laughing, and shook Sun Luban: "You are really my big tiger."

"My aunt taught me a trick." Sun Luban bent his little arms and smiled triumphantly.

"Your aunt taught it?" Sun Quan finally knew why Sun Luban was so arrogant. Behind her was even more arrogant Sun Shangxiang.

"That's right." Sun Luban chuckled and said, "My aunt said, this is taught by the eldest brother, and it can increase strength. We women can beat men after practicing."

Sun Quan's face suddenly darkened, and after a long time, the root of the trouble was Sun Shao again.He put Sun Luban down somewhat disconsolately, but Sun Luban didn't notice his mood change, pointing to the battle report just delivered on the case, he asked, "Ah Weng, where did this come from?"

"Jiaozhou battle report." Sun Quan glanced at Mrs. Bu: "Jiaozhou has been pacified, and the hostess of the Shi family is already on the way."

When Mrs. Bu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little happy. Bu Zhi has been in Jiaozhou for seven or eight years, and finally settled down Jiaozhou.The improvement of Bu Zhi's status means that her position is more stable.It's a pity that I couldn't give birth to a son, otherwise, there would be no suspense about the queen's position in the future.However, she knew that Sun Quan didn't like women who were too flamboyant, so she suppressed her joy, leaned forward and said, "Congratulations, Supreme."

Sun Quan smiled wryly to himself, congratulating him, but the trouble lies later.

"Brother won the battle?" Sun Luban exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, we have won the battle." Sun Quan replied casually.

"Oh, that's great." Sun Luban jumped up, "I'm going to find Yinping's sister-in-law, tell her the good news, and then ask her for a new pair of leather armor. The leather armor my brother made for me is too small. , It makes me uncomfortable." After speaking, before Sun Quan agreed, he ran away in a hurry.

Sun Quan was dumbfounded.It was only then that he noticed that Sun Luban seemed to have grown a lot this year, and the leather armor Sun Shao customized for her was a bit small on her body.However, he wanted to tell Daqiao the news by himself. What excuse would he use for Sun Luban's visit?

"This child..."

"My lord, Dahu was spoiled by Fengxian. She has no intention of studying now. She thinks about Monk Xiang and Yinping learning martial arts all day long, and she will become a female general in the future. What should I do? It's too late."

"Daughter's family, what book do you study? Could it be that my daughter can't get married if she doesn't study?" Sun Quan didn't think so, thinking of Zhou Xun, a sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.What kind of aristocratic children, don't they have to bow their heads obediently in front of power?My daughter likes him, it is his blessing, it is the blessing of his Zhou family, does he dare to refuse, will he refuse?
Seeing what he said, Mrs. Bu couldn't say anything more.She knew that all rules would be lost when Sun Luban came here. Sun Quan liked quiet women, but he never asked his daughter so much, on the contrary, he was a little conniving.She could vaguely guess some of this kind of psychology, but she never dared to show it.

Sun Luban rushed into the courtyard next door and ran all the way to Guan Feng's bedroom. Guan Feng was holding his son's hand as a toddler. When he saw Sun Luban rushing in like a calf, he hurriedly hugged his son for fear of being hit by her. He got up and said with a smile, "Dahu, why are you so happy?"

Sun Luban grinned, put his hands behind his back, and proudly puffed out his small chest: "Sister-in-law Yinping, I tell you good news, how can you thank me?"

"What good news?" Guan Feng said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you that if you call me sister-in-law, you should call me sister-in-law, don't add your name."

"That can't be done. In the future, my eldest brother will definitely marry other women. Several sister-in-laws are mixed together. Who knows which one, so we can distinguish clearly." Sun Luban said openly, but he didn't notice Guan Feng. His eyes dimmed, and his expression became a little unnatural. "Then tell me, what good news, how can I thank you?"

"Hee hee, big brother has won the battle." Sun Luban giggled overjoyed and said, "How is it? Is this good news?"

Guan Feng turned to look at Sun Luban with surprise on his face: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. The battle report has just been delivered." Sun Luyu raised his eyebrows, and smiled triumphantly, "The Shi family's protons are all on the way, can it be fake? A Weng said, brother now has nearly 2 people under his command." There are people."

Guan Feng suddenly felt suffocated, a little out of breath. 2 people?Then Sun Shao's situation is not better, but dangerous.Sun Luban was a child, so he didn't understand the mystery.When Sun Quan said this, he was definitely not happy, but had other murderous intentions.She thought about it, handed her son to the nanny, pulled Sun Luban aside, and said with a smile: "It's really good news, please tell me what's going on, and then I'll decide how to thank you .”

Sun Luban nodded repeatedly, and told Guan Feng everything he had seen and heard.Guan Feng deliberately asked Sun Quan's expression at that time, but unfortunately Sun Luban didn't know how to read his face, so he couldn't say anything.Guan Feng was a little restless, so he gave Sun Luban a set of leather armor and sent her away.Sitting in the room by himself, he didn't say anything for a long time.She couldn't figure it out, Sun Shao had always kept a low profile, why did he suddenly become a different person this time, not only expanding his own strength unscrupulously, but also taking the initiative to ask Sun Quan for Zhu Ya.Isn't he afraid that Sun Quan will be suspicious of him?
Guan Feng couldn't think of a reason, so he had to tell Daqiao the news, and Daqiao also found it strange that this incident was completely opposite to Sun Shao's previous forbearance.Could it be that this child has become public because he has been relatively smooth recently?Or, did Sun Luyu hear it wrong?
Not long after, Sun Quan sent someone to the mansion to report the news, which confirmed what Sun Luyu said was true.Daqiao really panicked this time. She didn't understand what it meant. Based on past experience, she thought it might not be a good omen, but rather a very ominous news.

"Go to the Zhou Mansion and invite Madam, and also invite Ayu." Daqiao thought over and over again, but he still couldn't figure out the situation, and subconsciously thought of Xiaoqiao and Zhou Yu.Xiao Qiao was next in line, her political acumen was not much better than hers, but Zhou Yu's thoughtful thinking and analysis of things were much better than theirs, and even better than Guan Feng's.

Guan Feng was a little embarrassed, because of her, Zhou Yu seldom came to the mansion this year, and never thought that something would happen that he couldn't solve, but he would still ask her.She was very worried that Zhou Yu would hold her grudges, and she didn't dare to help, so she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.Daqiao saw it and felt a little unhappy, but it was because of his dissatisfaction with Guan Feng.

"A...mom, last time... last time my husband sent back the essays on the trip to the south, and... there is another one for sister Zhou Yu, I..."

Daqiao looked at Guan Feng, who was always in love with Ai, and was taken aback for a moment before he understood.Every six months or so, Sun Shao would send back a copy of essays on traveling south. In the past, there was only one copy, and of course it could only be kept at home. The first copy was in her hands. At that time, Guan Feng was still with Sun Shao. The second book was already in Guan Feng's hands. Guan Feng showed it to her, but later took it back.The last time Zhou Yu came, I asked if there was an update. Guan Feng said no. In fact, Daqiao knew that there was. Virtue, but it is also human nature.But I didn't expect that Guan Feng would go so far as to hide a copy for Zhou Yu, even her grandmother.Now it's time to ask someone, so I took it out.

"You..." Daqiao was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Guan Feng bowed down in front of her aggrievedly, sobbing and choking: "Aunt, it's my fault. When I saw the way she looked at her husband, I felt uncomfortable. When she reads the articles written by her husband, she can read between the lines. Seeing other meanings, I feel ashamed, I very much hope that I can speculate with her husband like her, but I can't do it, so...so...it's me...it's me who is jealous and has a bad wife. "

Daqiao sighed, and wanted to scold Guan Feng, but couldn't bear it.Which woman is willing to share her husband with others, not to mention that Sun Shao still loves Guan Feng so much.People are always greedy, and the more they enjoy, the more greedy they become.Guan Feng was born in a warrior, and she is indeed far from Zhou Yubi in terms of literature, so it is conceivable that she has such thoughts.

"You take it, don't do this next time." Daqiao lowered his face: "You have to know, Aman will definitely have another woman in the future, and you are the regular wife. If you don't have this amount of stomach, how can you get married in the future?" To achieve family harmony?"

"Here." Guan Feng didn't dare to reply, hurried back to her room, brought a brand new copy of "Southbound Travel Guide", and held it carefully in front of the bridge.Daqiao took it and turned it over, then put it aside casually, but Guan Feng reminded again: "Mother, please read the last page."

"What's wrong with the last page?" Ohashi was a little puzzled. When he turned to the last page, he saw that it was a painting, but not the usual illustrations in books.It depicts a person riding a thin horse, standing on a post bridge, looking back at the sunset in the sky, next to an old vine, and a crow with its neck hunched over it.The whole picture is very simple, showing a sense of desolation and desolation.The inscription on the upper left corner looks like a poem, but Daqiao tried to break a few sentences, but found that it was not a poem, and he couldn't tell what it was.

"What does it say?"

"It seems to be a song, and I can't tell the difference." Guan Feng blushed, and pointed to two words: "I didn't dare to give it to Sister Yu because of these two words, for fear of causing misunderstanding."

Daqiao looked along her fingers and found the word "Xiaoqiao" in it. He frowned, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Yinping, you are too thoughtful. What misunderstanding can this cause?"

Guan Feng blushed in embarrassment: "I was worrying too much."

"But I can't blame you. Aman, although he is already a general, is still a bit childish. He doesn't know the severity of his words, and he speaks without restraint. It is inevitable that people will be misunderstood. But, Yinping, you are his wife. Don’t you know him yet? It’s wrong for you to have such thoughts.” The more Daqiao thinks about it, the more he finds it funny. Guan Feng is just suspicious of Zhou Yu, but why is he suspicious of Xiaoqiao? It’s really overly suspicious .
