The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 228 Pirate Empire You Take Advantage of Me

"What's going on?!" With a yell, Sun Shangxiang appeared in the rest cabin, standing with his knife in hand, not angry.The female pawn who was aggressive at first looked at it, and immediately restrained herself a bit. The female pawns who were getting up quickly stood in two rows along the aisle, no matter whether their clothes were neat or not, and at the same time bowed to Sun Shangxiang and shouted in unison: "Greetings, General!" The voice was neat and loud, with a certain power of its own.

In contrast, the angry Yan Feiyan and the others looked very abrupt, standing there a little at a loss.

"That's all." Sun Shangxiang waved his hand, strode to the front, glanced at Yan Feiyan unhappily, then turned his head to the female soldier, and frowned: "Gaia, are you bullying the newcomer again?"

"Back to the general, I didn't bully them, it was they who spoke rudely to the king."

Yan Feiyan looked at the female pawn curiously, only to realize that she really looked different from the Han people, and she turned out to be a bearded girl.

"Is there such a thing?" Sun Shangxiang's face darkened, and his eyes turned to Bo Yan, the color of anger was already very obvious.Bai Yan hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Return to the general, Yan Feiyan and others are newcomers, they don't know the rules of the camp, and their words are offensive, not..."

"Okay, needless to say." Sun Shangxiang interrupted Bai Yan's explanation with a wave of his hand, and glared at Gaia: "Go back and get dressed, and get ready for morning exercise soon."

"Here." Gaia nodded obediently, gave Yan Feiyan a sideways look, and turned back to her cabin.The other female pawns were similar to Gaia, and they all looked at Yan Feiyan with disdain. They brushed past Yan Feiyan and others arrogantly, full of anger in their gestures.

"Come with me." Sun Shangxiang turned around and left. Bai Yan glanced at Yan Feiyan, sighed, and signaled Yan Feiyan and the others to go up together.Fortunately, they didn't take off their clothes to go to bed, and there was nothing wrong with them except that they didn't wash their faces and looked a little tired.After entering the Feilu, Sun Shangxiang held the Sun Shao warrant that Yan Feiyan brought over yesterday and said to Bai Yan: "Take them to see the king, my Feihu camp is too small to accommodate such a big person."

"General..."

"Huh?" Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly, Bai Yan stopped the topic immediately, and nodded helplessly: "Well, I'll take them there right now."

"Let's go." Sun Shangxiang waved them out without even looking at Yan Feiyan.

Frustrated, Bai Yan led Yan Feiyan and others into a small boat and headed straight for Sun Shao's boat.Along the way, Yan Feiyan, who was still angry, kept her face sullen and silent. Bai Yan looked at it, both angry and distressed: "Master, this is a military camp, not Baihu Village. Since you chose the fifth general, you chose Fei Huying, why didn’t you follow the military orders?”

"We didn't know that you Feihuying had to wear so little." Mu Zhiqiu pouted.

"You went into the water fully dressed?" Bo Yan laughed: "At that time, we didn't just play in the sea with only small clothes, I heard that some people in their teens went into the water naked. "

"Sister Bai——" Mu Zhiqiu shoved Bai Yan shyly.Although Baihuzhai is different from the barbarian people, it is more or less exposed to the barbarian wind, not to mention that the Yan family is not a famous family. In the hot summer, Yan Feiyan often goes to the sea with her close female guards to cool off. Of course, it wouldn't be too much, it's just that they hide from people, especially men. Like Feihuying, they can't accept the water training with so little clothes under the watchful eyes of many male soldiers.

"This is the end of the matter, so I won't say much. Let's see where the king can arrange for you to go." Bai Yan thought for a while, and then said: "Uncle Lei's injury is still not healed?"

"It will take a while." Yan Feiyan said sullenly.She is thinking about this question now, Feihuying won't accept her, where can she go?It doesn't seem appropriate to be by Sun Shao's side either.Even if she went back to the stockade to exchange for Lei Zi, she would have to wait for Lei Zi to heal from his injury.The last time Lei Zi was injured too badly, he couldn't recover within two or three months.

Bai Yan sighed, but couldn't think of any good way.Sun Shao's boat and Sun Shangxiang's boat were not far away, and they arrived soon. Bai Yan went up to report, and after a short time, he leaned over from the boat and greeted Yan Feiyan and the others to go up.On the boat board, Sun Shaojing was sweating with his upper body bare, while several warriors who were also sweating profusely stood by, chatting and laughing with each other.

"Why, were you kicked out?" Sun Shao put on a summer coat, tied the belt of his robe, and glanced at Yan Feiyan's red and swollen eyes, and was startled: "Hey, who bullied you? Eyes Swollen like this?"

It was fine if Sun Shao didn't say anything, but when Yan Feiyan said it, she became even more angry, but she was a little timid when she saw the warriors beside her who were still smiling just now, but immediately looked down when they looked at them. Shao's subordinates seemed to be quite arrogant, and those few female soldiers would not allow anyone to say anything about Sun Shao's fault. These people were Sun Shao's guards, and I am afraid they would not listen to her explanation.

Seeing Yan Feiyan looking at the guards next to him vigilantly, Sun Shao couldn't help being a little surprised. After thinking about it, he waved them back and asked as he walked in, "Have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, let's have breakfast together. What's the matter, talk while eating."

Bo Yan was overjoyed, and quickly tugged Yan Feiyan who was motionless.Yan Feiyan knew that this was a good time, although she was reluctant, she still buzzed: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Hehe, let's go wash up." Sun Shao's voice came from inside: "Your hair is messed up, people who don't know will think what happened."

Yan Feiyan's face flushed immediately, this appearance was indeed easy to cause misunderstandings early in the morning, but when Sun Shao said it, it was obviously a bit teasing.She quickly followed Bo Yan to wash up, and then returned to Sun Shao's boat.Sun Shao was not too surprised when he heard Bai Yan's story, and said with a smile: "You will go to Feihu Camp as soon as you come, I thought you knew it a long time ago, but now it seems that you are also confused."

"Then... what should we do now?" Yan Feiyan ran out of ideas.

"You won't be able to go to Feihu Camp for the time being." Sun Shao said while eating breakfast, "I happen to have something to do for you, let's delay the matter of entering the camp."

"what's up?"

"A few tribal chiefs have come, and I plan to arrange for someone to take them to Baihu Village for a visit, and let them see how I treat my subjects. It would be a good thing if I could attract them to join us and avoid a fight. Okay, you go back to the stockade to clean up first, don't be too pretentious, just do whatever you want, just show the actual situation as it is."

Yan Feiyan heaved a sigh of relief, there was no reason to disagree, and she quickly nodded in agreement.Sun Shao said to Bai Yan again: "Although they only stayed in Feihuying for one night, they are considered to be related to Feihuying. Give them those suits of armor. Anyway, I don't have anything suitable for them here. , you go back and tell the Fifth General."

"Here." Bai Yan quickly agreed.

"In addition, you are also familiar with the situation in Baihu Village, so you should be responsible for the communication between them."

"Here." Bai Yan was overjoyed, and promised again.

"If you have any other opinions, you can put them forward together. If I can agree to you, I will agree to you first. If I can't agree to you, you should make another plan as soon as possible." Sun Shao said with a smile: "After this meal, you You can go back to Baihuzhai, Baihuzhai is my banner to subdue barbarians, you can't discredit me."

Yan Feiyan had an idea, and put down the bamboo chopsticks: "Since the king is gracious, then Feiyan really has something to ask, and I hope the king will grant it."

"Let's talk about it." Sun Shao said very relaxedly: "However, don't try to renege on your debt."

"Uh..." Yan Feiyan was planning to bargain with Sun Shao, but she was blocked by Sun Shao before she could open her mouth. She stood there for a while, not knowing what to say.It stands to reason that Sun Shao now needs Baihuzhai to show off to attract barbarians, and at least give her some benefits, how could he say that.As soon as her face sank, she wanted to show Sun Shao a little color and put a little pressure on him to let him know that Baihuzhai is not a dough for him to knead: "My lord, don't you want the tribal leaders to see that a year of hard work is not enough?" Baihu Village, where food and clothing cannot be guaranteed?"

Sun Shao glanced at the serious Yan Feiyan, and couldn't help laughing: "Two thousand hectares of land, nearly a thousand cattle and iron plows, as long as you are not lazy, you will have no problem with food and clothing, right? There are no more than a thousand children, so let me count you as three hundred households, each with three cows and six hundred acres of land, if you can't solve the problem of food and clothing, village master Yan, is there any reason for your Baihu village to survive?"

Sun Shao was well-founded, and Yan Feiyan was speechless. She found that Sun Shao was really talented in doing business, and the situation in Baihuzhai was very clear in his mind, and there was nothing to hide.However, she was still a little unconvinced: "Even so, those oxen and plows are all for money. The king asks for a lot of money. Even if we work hard for a year, we can only repay the king's credit. If God doesn't help, we Could it be that you can't even eat food?"

"Don't say that, if you think oxen and plows are expensive, I don't have to give you credit." Sun Shao disagrees: "You have to know, I don't have to worry about selling my oxen and plows. I treat you like this Come on, I want to build a city not only here in Jingua Mountain, but also in other places. I want to attract more barbarians to settle in the city. There are large tracts of land waiting to be reclaimed. These cattle are so hot that they are not I can't sell it. Even if I get another two thousand heads, I can sell it at a higher price." He sighed, and said with some regret: "It seems that I gave too much at the beginning, and I did something bad with good intentions. How about this, you return the excess to me at the original price, and I will be considered unlucky for more than half a month, and I will give it away for nothing."

Yan Feiyan was speechless, if the cattle were returned, how would she reclaim the land?You must know that with these ox plows, she was able to reclaim [-] mu of land in half a month, and these [-] mu of land were only one percent of the land Sun Shao gave her. For the farmland where rice is planted, use these ox plows to continue to cultivate the land. It will take three to five years to develop half of the two thousand hectares of land, so that the strength of Baihuzhai can develop by leaps and bounds. Without these The speed of the ox plow will be greatly reduced, and it is definitely not cost-effective to calculate.

"Patriarch Yan, I like a win-win situation, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid." Sun Shao lowered his face, "You took advantage of me and laughed at me for being stupid, isn't it a bit rude?"

Yan Feiyan rolled her eyes, why does this sound so awkward?Who took advantage of you!
The two were not at the same level in terms of bargaining. Although Yan Feiyan tried her best to resist, she was defeated within a few rounds under Sun Shao's counterattack.Sun Shao said, if you think this is not good, I can transfer the conditions of Baihuzhai to others, I believe they will be very happy, as for how you survive in Baihuzhai, that is not my business, you can think about it yourself Then make a decision.After much deliberation, Yan Feiyan still couldn't bear to give up such a good opportunity, so she agreed.

Sun Shao didn't kill them all either, except for Yan Feiyan and the others who each got a set of armor and weapons, he also gave away several sets of men's armor, no matter what, he also wanted to make Baihuzhai dress brighter, so that those barbarian talents be envious.Later, Bai Yan reminded Yan Feiyan that there is pressure to pay off the debt at one time this year. You can ask to pay it in several years, so the burden will be much lighter.Sun Shao agreed, but asked to pay [-]% interest every year, which made Yan Feiyan very angry, and scolded Sun Shao bloody in his stomach.

But Sun Shao said shamelessly, I only charge you [-]% interest, which is much cheaper than lending money.

Yan Feiyan went back to Baihu Village dejectedly. Papa Mu and the others were very surprised. Hearing what Mu Zhiqiu said, Papa Mu was very calm and comforted Yan Feiyan. It is very generous to Baihuzhai. If you were a barbarian tribe, you would definitely not be able to get such a large piece of land, and then credit you with so many cattle and iron plows without any guarantee.

After a few days, gradually there were Yi people who came to visit Baihuzhai under the leadership of Guan Chao and others. Most of them were small tribes nearby, and some even received invitations from Hei'an and Wa'an, but the Yi people All the tribes are free. They can participate in this kind of war, or they don’t have to participate. Hei’an and the others are not easy to force. Of course, after winning the battle, do they find an excuse to kill you and cut off your head? That is their freedom too.These small tribes had no idea, so they secretly came to wink at Sun Shao, brought some mountain goods as gifts, and then saw what benefits Sun Shao could give, whether they had strength, and whether they were their opponents, so they decided to follow Sun Shao to kill Hei An, still follow Hei An to kill Sun Shao.

Visited Baihu Village, saw the busy but hopeful faces in the village, looked at the rice fields that had just been planted, looked at the rice fields that were getting greener day by day, and saw that there were still large tracts of land waiting to be cultivated, and then went back to When I went to Jingua Mountain, I saw the enthusiasm and rich goods of Yue merchants, and the Yi people were envious, and their minds became active.Immediately afterwards, Sun Shao invited them to a banquet and each gave a little gift. The last one to appear was Gu Tan. He explained to the barbarians the three-six-six-level model of the Yue State, and told them that you can now belong to the Yue State and become the citizens of the Yue State. , you can also not belong to them for the time being, keep your own independent tribe, and only serve as a vassal state of the Yue State, or even go with Hei An and become the enemy of our Yue State, but you have to think clearly, the people of the Yue State and the vassal state enjoy The benefits of the country are not the same, but the enemies of the country of Yue have only one way, and that is death.

Some of the Yi people were moved, and some didn't take it seriously, especially those who were relatively strong, who didn't take it seriously for the strength shown by the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom.Sun Shao didn't force them, and politely sent them away. For those Yi people who were willing to join, he stayed for further consultations, and chose nearby lands for settlement according to their tribe, size and wishes.

Although there are not many Yi people who are willing to surrender to Sun Shao, the news of the Yi people's contact with Sun Shao quickly reached the ears of Hei'an and Wa'an.Wa'an and Hei'an felt the seriousness. They didn't know how many tribes were going to join Sun Shao, but they knew it would be fatal to people's hearts. Who knew how many tribes agreed to fight against Sun Shao together? Are you stepping on two boats?

"I can't wait any longer, I have to give a severe blow to this bullshit King Yue's aura, otherwise people's hearts will be scattered."

Hei An blinked his triangular eyes, and the scar on his face twitched from time to time. Wa'an said it easily, and hit Sun Shao, but Sun Shao has more than 1 troops. Are these tribes opponents?After this battle is fought, even if it is won, the loss will be astonishing.

"I think it's better to attack Baihuzhai." Hei An vetoed Wa'an's suggestion, and expressed his plan: "White Huzhai was specially made by the King of Yue for the leaders to see. Stepped on it, and the strength of Baihuzhai is limited, so it is convenient to fight, if we go to Jinguashan, we have little chance of success." Hei An's four lips twitched: "No one has ever attacked a city .”

Wa'an's thick eyebrows trembled, and anger surged up. He heard cowardice from Hei An's suggestion, and Hei An was frightened by Sun Shao's 1 people.

"Jilong Mountain is not too far from Jingu Mountain. What if King Yue reinforces us?"

"Reinforcement? Isn't it easier to fight when he leaves the city?" Hei An sneered.

Wa An suddenly realized.Although the distance between Jilong Mountain and Jingua Mountain is not too far, there are mountains and forests in between, and fighting in the mountains and forests is their forte. Although King Yue has many warships, can his warships enter the mountains?Obviously not.

"This is a good way." Wa'an smiled, and patted Hei An's shoulder vigorously: "If you want to talk about ghostly ideas, you are the best with your open mouth."

"Hahaha..." Hei An didn't think he was disobedient, and laughed out loud.

In Baihuzhai, Lei Ke rushed into the big house. Yan Feiyan and Bai Yan who were chatting next door heard his footsteps on the thighs, and hurried out. Seeing Lei Ke who was panting, Yan Feiyan knew that it must be Wa An back again.

"Wa...an, Wa'an, and Hei... Hei'an." Lei Ke was sweating and out of breath from running, and pointed to the dark forest outside: "There are many... many people."

Lei Zi, the deputy patriarch who rushed over after hearing the sound, saw his son's distressed appearance, and roared unhappily: "What are you panicking about? It's just a few barbarians. There's nothing to be afraid of. Take a breath and speak slowly, What is going on."

As soon as Lei Ke saw Lao Tzu, he immediately became short, took a few breaths, and then said: "Hei An and Wa An are rushing to Baihu Village with a lot of people. There is still one day at most before they can take Baihu away." Surrounded by the fort."

"How many people are there?" Lei Zi was a little nervous when he heard that.

"I don't know." Lei Ke shook his head: "It's a large area of ​​darkness, and the ones behind are still in the woods. We don't know how many there are. Anyway, people from Hei'an and Wa'an are there, and the nearby big tribes I also saw several, and estimated that there are eight thousand if not ten thousand, maybe more."

"So many people?" Lei Zi didn't dare to take it lightly. Now Baihuzhai can fight with more than 500 people at most, including women, there are only 800 people. Facing the fierce barbarian people must be more or less dangerous. It is really unpleasant to encounter such a disaster in life.

"Don't worry, Baihuzhai is a subject of King Yue, and he won't just sit idly by." Bai Yan comforted Yan Feiyan and said, "The most urgent thing right now is to report the crimes committed by the barbarians to the king immediately, and ask him to arrange someone support."

After hearing the news, Papa Mu and Lei Zi agreed with Bai Yan's view that Baihuzhai's strength alone cannot be preserved. Now that he has surrendered to Sun Shao, of course Sun Shao must assume the responsibility of protection.Yan Feiyan didn't have any better solution, so she asked Bai Yan to rush back to Jinguashan immediately to report to Sun Shao.

Sun Shao has already got the news, but he is not in a hurry to send troops. He said to Lei Zi who rushed to Jingua Mountain with Baiyan: "Although the barbarians are coming fiercely, their strength is limited. Baihuzhai is not what it used to be. Could it be that they can easily attack? You can rest assured to defend, I will not sit idly by."

After the last battle, the White Tiger Village was damaged a lot, and the village was rebuilt for this reason. The defense capability has indeed been strengthened a lot, but if it is only defended by the people of the White Tiger Village, it is really too little.

"I'll ask Feihuying to help you." Sun Shao smiled.

Lei Zi shook his head again and again, there are only 500 people in the Feihu Camp, and they are all women, how useful can it be?Sun Shao was a little bit dishonest. He had agreed at the beginning that if the Baihu village would surrender to him, he would guarantee the safety of the Baihu village.He was about to argue, but Sun Shao didn't say any more, and asked someone to invite Sun Shangxiang directly.When Sun Shangxiang heard that there was a battle to be fought, his eyes lit up immediately, and without saying a word, he immediately summoned his men and horses to set off.Following them to Baihuzhai, there were nearly a hundred baggage trucks. The carriages were tightly packed and looked heavy, but they couldn't see what was inside.

As soon as Yan Feiyan saw Sun Shangxiang, her face immediately darkened, she seemed to be facing Lei Zi, but she actually said to Sun Shangxiang: "Is His Royal Highness the King of Yue going to abandon us? Can such a small number of people keep Baihu Village safe?"

Sun Shangxiang sneered: "Yan Feiyan, if you don't have confidence, you can hide all the people in your Baihu Village. I don't need your help. My Feihu Camp alone can keep your village safe, but ugly words In the front, if you don't participate in the battle, then don't share the spoils."

"Also!" Yan Feiyan was very worried about the anger she received in Feihuying, she didn't want to fight side by side with Feihuying, and she didn't have much confidence in Feihuying.Although she is also a woman and has good martial arts skills, she doesn't think that women can really be warriors. Feihuying is considered strong among women, but they have no strength to fight back against the fierce barbarians.

"I'm going to find King Yue, but he doesn't keep his promise."

"It's okay to go, we'll talk about it after my Feihuying is completely down." Sun Shangxiang smiled proudly. "Come on, open the compartment."
