The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 173 Set Sail and Set Sail Fengyi
When Lu Yi saw that Sun Shao had spoken to such an extent, he felt relieved.Although he was careful, but with the annual income of three hundred gold in front of him, it was unrealistic for him not to be tempted at all.He looked at Sun Shao for a long time, and saw that Sun Shao's face was sincere, and there was no intention of falsehood, so he smiled a little embarrassedly: "The general is so kind, I shouldn't refuse, but this courtesy is too heavy, Lu Yi I can't bear it because of my shallow ability. Please take it back, General."

Sun Shao frowned, showing a look of helplessness, he glanced at Lu Yi, sighed a long time and said: "Bo Dao is worried, I can understand. In fact, I want to give this prescription to you, but I also have no choice but to give it to you." Bodao is a player in the game, so he must know my situation. Let me say something heartfelt to Bodao. I give these to Bodao because I don’t want to stay in Jianye in the future. My mother is an indifferent person, and she doesn't know how to manage these things, so it's better to give it to Bodao than to waste it in vain."

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment: "The general is not in Jianye, where do you want to go?"

"The sea is wide enough for the fish to leap, and the sky is high for the birds to fly." Sun Shao said sadly, "After this battle, I want to find an island to spend some leisure time. Although Jianye is big, it is not the place where I live for a long time."

Lu Yi was silent, he was a little shocked, but he was a little relieved.Sun Shao suddenly wanted to give him such a generous gift, and he intuitively thought that Sun Shao needed his help in a difficult situation, so although he was jealous, he dared not accept it.Now that Sun Shao said he was leaving Jianye, the situation was different.His situation in Jiangdong is very special, and now he has disturbing strength. Sun Quan and some cronies are discussing how to contain him. Lu Yi knows this well, and Sun Shao must have felt it, so he went overseas thought.

It should be said that this reason is credible.Lu Yi already believed it in his heart, but on the surface he still comforted Sun Shao: "General, although some villains make irresponsible remarks in front of the Supreme, the Supreme still trusts the General, so why should the General worry about it? How can there be any comparison in the wild overseas? Shangjiangdong is prosperous?"

"I'm not worried about Zhizun." Sun Shao shook his head and smiled faintly: "I'm going overseas because of the difficulties of Zhizun. I know the love of Zhizun for me. But Bodao, There is a saying that every man is innocent, but he is guilty. Although I have no other thoughts, the Supreme can believe in my loyalty, but what about others? Whether they are for their own interests or for the interests of the Supreme, they will remind the Supreme. Beware of me. If the Supreme believes in them, he will hurt me. If he does not believe in them, he will definitely be accused of refusing to advise. I was originally working for the Supreme, but it has become a contradiction between the Supreme and his ministers. Isn't it counterproductive? Therefore , for the Supreme, I also want to go overseas. If I can gain something like this in the South China Sea, it can also reduce some burdens for the Supreme."

Seeing Sun Shao's sincerity, Lu Yi couldn't help being moved, he nodded sympathetically: "I really admire the general's painstaking efforts, but those who are bright and bright are easy to taint, and a person like the general cannot serve by the Supreme Master's side. It's sad."

"The one who knows me is Bo Dao." Sun Shao pretended to smile easily, and stuffed Fangzi into Lu Yi's hand: "I'm leaving, it's useless to keep these, so I'll give it to Bo Dao, it's right A little apology for hurting Bodao. To be honest, I am afraid of hurting my friends. If my friends are hurt, I will feel uneasy. Bodao, I want to advise you, don’t take money too seriously when a man is alive. With your talents, if you are willing to make friends with others, why are you still a Zhongshu Lang today?"

There was a burst of excitement in Lv Yi's heart. He always felt that he was underappreciated because of his poor family background, so he couldn't be promoted for a long time. He had complaints in his heart, and his relationship with his colleagues—especially those who got promoted by relying on their family background—was natural. He was a little unfamiliar, and he also wanted to make friends with them, but he was a little bit reluctant to give up money. Now that Sun Shao wanted him to make friends with others, it hit his weakness.He hesitated for a moment, then bowed and saluted: "How about this, the general is still in Jianye for a day, and I will manage these for the general for a day. The general will go overseas, and I will save it for the general. When the general needs it, as long as it is When a piece of paper arrives, Lu Yi will definitely return it."

Sun Shao laughed, and thought to himself that this Lv Yi still refused to keep any excuse after collecting the money, so he was willing to say that he collected it for him. "Well, let's treat it as an investment in the business partnership between Bodao and me, and rely on Bodao's intelligence to earn more and more."

Seeing that he agreed, Lu Yi was relieved, carefully folded the prescription and put it in his pocket.Sitting with Sun Shao for a while, Sun Shao talked and talked, only talking about overseas knowledge, until he got up to leave, and didn't say a word to ask Lu Yi for help, until Sun Shao brought Sun Shao who was full of food and drink. Lu Ban and others went out, and Lu Yi's heart was relieved.

If Sun Shao asked him to help, he might not help at all, but now that Sun Shao didn't want him to help, he wanted to help instead.Anyway, if there is no reward for receiving such a generous gift, wouldn't Lu Yi become a villain through and through?Lu Yi always thought that he was an upright gentleman and would never do such a thing.He thought for a long time and finally made a decision.

Sun Shao took Sun Luban and others around the city, bought some rouge and water powder for his daughter's home, and specially bought a few boxes of falling forest powder for each of them, making them smile with joy.Falling forest powder is a high-quality water powder from Yizhou. Each cake is worth one gold, and only noble ladies can afford it. Sun Quan is in the stage of starting a business, living a frugal life, and strictly controlling the expenses of his children. Of course, Sun Luban and the others have This kind of gouache is only available during Chinese New Year and festivals, and he is reluctant to use it at ordinary times. Sun Shao bought a few boxes for them all at once, and of course he was so happy that he kept shouting "Hello, big brother".Sun Shao took them to the blacksmith's shop again, picked out a hundred-refined long knife for Sun Luban, and bought a beautifully decorated book knife for Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu, and then went back home.

"Brother, take us to see your camp." Sun Luban begged, still holding Sun Shao's arm.

"To see Destroying Fengying?" Sun Shao hesitated for a moment, then turned his eyes to the other two little girls.Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu didn't really like fighting, but they were afraid of disturbing Sun Luban's interest, so they went back to be cleaned up. Besides, they were just watching the training, so they probably wouldn't be too scary, so they all nodded.

"Okay, let's go and see the Fengfeng Camp." Sun Shao smiled and told the coachman to change direction.The guards behind him breathed a sigh of relief, but they couldn't help being startled when they saw the carriage turning to leave the city.In the past two days, there were many military camps outside the city, and many of those soldiers were from bandits and rioters. What if something happened to them out of control?The leading lieutenant hurriedly stopped him, but before Sun Shao could speak, Sun Luban jumped three feet high, pulled out the knife he had just bought, and shouted sharply: "If something happens, find someone to protect me, you dare to block my way? See if I don't kill you."

The school lieutenant thought he was unlucky, and retreated despondently. While sending people back to the mansion to ask for help, he put up all his energy.

"Dahu, you are really a tiger." Sun Shao suppressed a smile.

"This bunch of cowards." Sun Luban snorted, extremely disdainful: "I don't know who sneaked into the mansion through someone else's way. Just looking at it, you can tell that martial arts are poor, and they even became a captain. Such a When people go to the battlefield in the future, they probably won't even be able to beat me."

"He can't, why did you Aunt send him to the battlefield?"

"It's not certain." Sun Luban glanced around, leaned into Sun Shao's ear and said, "Brother, do you know Neighbor Sun?"

Sun Shao thought for a while, "I know, he is the son of General Zhenglu."

"He was only nine years old, so he became the prefect of Yuzhang." Sun Luban said aggrievedly: "If you want me to say, elder brother should be the prefect of Yuzhang. His nine-year-old child is not as good as me, who can be the prefect of Yuzhang." Prefect? ​​Wasn't it because those people said that Ah Weng was wronged by his death, and Ah Weng had no choice but to give him such a good position."

Sun Ben is dead?Is Sun Lin the prefect of Yuzhang?Sun Shao was really taken aback.Sun Ben’s father, Sun Qiang, was Sun Jian’s brother by birth. There were two brothers, Sun Ben. The younger brother, Sun Fu, wrote to Cao Cao to discuss surrender because he refused to accept Sun Quan’s taking over Jiangdong——Sun Ben’s daughter was the wife of Cao Cao’s son, Cao Zhang—— As a result, the matter was not thorough, and Sun Quan found out, and was imprisoned by Sun Shao for several years, and died of anger.In the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao captured Jingzhou in one fell swoop, claiming that an army of 80 attacked Wu. People in Jiangdong were panicked.Because it was just an intention but not implemented into action, although Sun Quan was dissatisfied with him, he did not treat him like Sun Fu.The general Zhenglu did so, and the prefect of Yuzhang followed suit, but he soon sent Gu Shao to be the prefect of Yuzhang, which was tantamount to taking away Sun Ben's power.Unexpectedly, Gu Shao’s life was not long, he only served as the prefect for five years, and died in the 21st year of Jian’an. Later, Lu Meng recommended Cai Yi to be the prefect of Yuzhang. Now why let Sun Neighbor, a nine-year-old child, take over on his behalf?
The meaning of acting as a leader often means that you don't have to take care of things, but to enjoy the prefect's treatment as a substitute, is it possible that Sun Ben's family lacks this salary?
Sun Shao thought about it, but couldn't figure out the reason.But he was not as angry as Sun Luban. He never thought that Sun Quan would ask him to be the prefect of Yuzhang. Yuzhang is an important place, and Sun Quan would not let him go if he was killed. He would rather give it to an unreliable person like Sun Ben. Nor will it be given to him.

"It's too tiring to be the prefect." Sun Shao said with a smile: "If I were the prefect, I wouldn't have time to play with you."

Sun Luban was overjoyed, put his arms around Sun Shao's neck and quacked with a smile: "It's better, big brother." After a while, he leaned into Sun Shao's ear and said, "Are you really going to find that monster mentioned in the Shan Hai Jing?"

Sun Shao was taken aback for a moment, he had been wondering how this word reached Sun Quan's ears, and now Sun Luban also said that it seems that not only one person knew.He rolled his eyes: "How do you know?"

"Arden said it." Sun Luban blurted out without thinking.

"Arden?" Sun Shao was even more surprised. Sun Deng rarely had contact with him. How did he know?

"You must be wondering how Arden knew?" Sun Luban smiled slyly: "Please, I'll tell you."

Sun Shao chuckled: "I'll just ask Arden in two days. Besides, what can I do if I don't know? I really want to find the monster in the book of mountains and seas. Dumb, have you seen the unicorn?"

"Kirin? That's an auspicious beast." Sun Luban opened his eyes wide and became excited.

"What kind of auspicious beast?" Sun Shao smiled disdainfully: "I heard from the Xiyi people that there is a country far away, and there are unicorns everywhere. After this war is over, I want to go to that country Look, when the time comes to catch a few and bring them back, doesn't that make Jiangdong's name justified?"

"Really?" Sun Luban clenched his small fist and thumped Sun Shao's shoulder twice, "Brother, I knew you were a loyal minister, but those villains always say that brother has a different heart."

"Sister!" Sun Luyu called out, looked at Sun Shao timidly, and winked at Sun Luban.Only then did Sun Luban realize his slip of the tongue, he turned his head quickly, covered his mouth and remained silent.

Sun Shao smiled calmly and did not ask further questions.The carriage briskly drove towards the river and came to his building boat.Sun Luban, who had finally rested for a while, suddenly called out, pointed to a flying phoenix painted on the bow of the boat and said, "Brother, why is the phoenix painted on your boat?"

"My ship is called Fengyi." Sun Shao jumped out of the car, carried them off one by one, and walked up the gangway while holding their hands, and said with a smile: "Dahu, you know why it is called Fengyi." No?"

"I know." Sun Luban said without hesitation, "Sister-in-law is Feng."

"No." Sun Luyuan said timidly: "Is it the 'Xiao Shao Jiucheng, there is Feng Laiyi' in the scriptures?"

Sun Shao was very surprised: "A Yuan, have you studied the classics?"

Sun Luyuan smiled shyly: "I learned a little bit, my mother taught me."

Sun Shao was relieved, the Confucian classics passed down by the Yuan family was Meng Shiyi, but Mrs. Yuan's mother belonged to Hongnong Yang's family, and the Confucian classics passed down by the Yang family were Shangshu, so she must have read a little bit.He touched Sun Luyuan's little face and praised: "You are so smart, you know the classics of reading at such a young age, and you will be a Master Sun in the future."

Sun Luyuan shrank his neck shyly, stuck out his tongue, and blushed.Sun Luban snorted unconvinced, took Sun Shao's hand and shouted: "Then elder brother said, who is right?"

"That's right." Sun Shao laughed.Sun Luban raised his small face at Sun Luyuan, curling his lips proudly.

Standing on the side of the ship, Chen Hai bowed to salute, and when Sun Shao passed by him, he said in a low voice: "General, although those two boys face each other, but..."

"But what?" Sun Shao glanced at him.

"But it's hard to hold back, it seems that it's not easy to squeeze them away." Chen Hai had a bitter face.

"What do you mean?" Sun Shao didn't understand for a moment, and Chen Hai quickly explained.At Yinshi this morning, when the Fengfeng Camp was preparing for daily training, Zhou Xun and Sun Huan waited by the river with their men. They had Sun Shao's warrant in their hands, and Chen Hai couldn't refuse, so he had to let them participate in the training.Of course, Chen Hai is not stupid. He knows that these people were sent by Sun Quan to seize power, so he specially increased the amount of training. Originally, every morning, he would first run five miles, then swim two miles, and then practice boarding a boat, Landing and other corresponding tactics, this time it will take ten miles to come up, and we are going to let Zhou Xun and the others run disabled.Things started going smoothly. After five miles, there were less than 800 of the [-] people led by Zhou Xun and Sun Huan. After ten miles, there was not one left.Satisfied, Chen Hai led his men to start the next round of training, but he didn't expect that after they had swam for two miles, Zhou Xun and Sun Huan followed with more than a dozen personal guards. Without a word, they took off their clothes and jumped into the water inside.Although Chen Hai was a little surprised, he really wanted to see if they could swim the two miles. The result was beyond his expectation. After he practiced the boarding tactics, they came back. Although their legs were trembling and their faces were pale, But still asked to participate in the next training.

"These two brats have lost their temper. I'm afraid that instead of driving them away in the end, they will be disabled. It's not easy for the general to do business."

Sun Shao rubbed his chin and said nothing, Zhou Xun couldn't explain it, why did he change his mind again?He didn't make a sound, and followed Chen Hai to the side of the ship. There were ropes hanging on the side of the ship, which were stretched straight. It was the soldiers of the Destroying Front Camp below who were practicing climbing.

Zhou Xunjing sat on the deck with his upper body shirtless, panting heavily, his fair skin stood out against the dark soldiers, his face was pale, his chest heaved violently, and his hands rested on the deck On it, traces of blood.Seeing Sun Shao, he quickly struggled to stand up, licked his lips, bowed and saluted: "General."

Sun Shao frowned, and waved Chen Hai and the others to stand a little further away: "Aren't you saying you can't come?"

Zhou Xun gritted his teeth, didn't say anything, just clenched his fists.

"Injured while climbing?" Sun Shao looked at his hands and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just worn out." Zhou Xun nodded.

"Does your mother know?"

"I know." Zhou Xun paused, then quickly said: "General, please don't tell my mother what happened here."

Sun Shao squinted his eyes and glanced at him, then nodded slightly: "Since you are willing to endure the hardship, I will not stop you. No matter whether you will stay in the Destroying Front Camp in the end, as long as you can make these fierce soldiers approve You, you will be a good general wherever you go in the future." He stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Xunguang's smooth shoulder: "Ah Xun, you have all the advantages of your father, and you still have the tempering that your father did not go through. Why can't you Make greater achievements than him? Work hard!"

With a sore nose, Zhou Xun replied loudly, "Here."

"Ha! Why are you here?" Sun Luban jumped out suddenly, pointed at Zhou Xun and shouted in surprise.Zhou Xun was suddenly embarrassed.During the training, the soldiers of the Destroying Front Camp, in order to save clothes, only wore a pair of cow-nosed pants, which are equivalent to the briefs of later generations. Although he did not reach that point, his lower body only had a pair of crotch-closing pants, which was equivalent to big shorts with trouser legs It's fine if they're all men, who would have thought that three little girls would suddenly come out, one of whom was his prospective fiancée, and his cheeks were flushed all of a sudden.After a moment of sluggishness, Zhou Xun rushed into the cabin without saying a word, grabbed a pair of trousers from someone, put them on, put on a short shirt, and then walked out awkwardly, saluting Sun Luban.

His embarrassment made the people next to him snicker.

Sun Luban was not as shy as Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu. He calmly pointed at the curious onlookers of the Defiant Camp soldiers and asked, "Zhou Xun, can you beat them?"

Zhou Xun glanced at the people next to him, and shook his head: "I can't now, but in two months, I will definitely be able to."

"Bragging." Sun Luban turned his head and snorted disdainfully.

"Whether you want to brag or not, you can come back in two months." Sun Shao patted Sun Luban on the head, and led them to the Feilu on the second floor.Looking at their backs, Zhou Xun looked a little ugly, turned around and smiled wryly at Sun Huan who had just climbed up and was lying on the deck like a dead dog: "Shuwu, can we hold on?"

Sun Huan didn't bother to answer him, he just panted with his mouth wide open, and after he had recovered his breath, he spit out and said, "They have two shoulders on one head, we also have two shoulders on one head, why not? You wait, after two months, if I don't beat that scorpion until his nose is blue and his eyes are swollen, I won't be called Sun Huan."

"Who are you going to hit?" Chen Hai leaned out from the railing of Feilu, and looked down at Sun Huan, the look in his eyes was no different from looking at a wretch.Sun Huan was talking about him, and he was not afraid of Chen Hai's demonstration. He raised his head and looked at Chen Hai viciously: "Who else is there, of course you are Colonel Chen."

"Yes." Chen Hai smiled disapprovingly: "However, you have to get through these two months. Now, you give me orders and gather on the deck immediately. You send 100 people, and we send 50." People, practice deck scramble tactics." He turned around and took two steps, then looked back at Zhou Xun: "Miss Sun wants to see." After speaking, he grinned, turned and left.

Zhou Xun's face became very ugly.Sun Luyu wanted to watch the martial arts competition, but they were imaginary enemies, and they were one hundred against fifty. He knew very well that after running ten miles in the morning, it was a question of whether his subordinates could still pick out those who had the physical strength to practice. As for winning, let alone think about it.When he thought that his majestic general was about to be beaten, he hated it.

But there is no way to hate, he discussed with Sun Huan, and managed to gather 100 people to stand on the deck. Chen Hai took 50 people as their opponents to save face.Sun Shao took the high seat in Feilu, and Sun Luban stood beside the railing excitedly, and shouted at Zhou Xun, "You must win the battle, or you will not be a general."

"Dahu, come back." Sun Shao shouted majestically, but Sun Luban didn't dare to say anything, and retreated obediently.Sun Shao waved his hand, Ding Feng waved the flag in his hand, and the drummer slammed the war drum. With the sound of the drum, Chen Hai suddenly shouted:
"Destroy the front!"

Fifty soldiers shouted angrily in unison: "Destroy the front!" Before the words fell, the fifty soldiers had already formed a wedge formation, with Chen Hai as the vanguard, and rushed towards Zhou Xun and others.Ten steps away, within a blink of an eye, Zhou Xun raised his sword and shouted: "The spearman stepped forward—"

Twenty spears with their tips removed pointed straight ahead, poking at Chen Hai and the others who were rushing over.The spearhead is wrapped in a cloth, and the cloth is dipped in ink, and whoever gets ink blobs on their vital parts will be considered dead in battle.Although it is a drill, it is related to the face of the newcomer and the old, and no one dares to back down. Chen Hai strode forward, and the unsheathed long knife roared towards him, swung away the two spears in front of him, and flew into the room. .
