The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 310
He Jing blinked, looked at Yu An with a half-smile, and said slowly, "Shi Ping, your king is really a saint."

Yu An is not a fool either, he could hear the disdain in He Jing's words, and he didn't argue: "He doesn't seem to care if a saint is not a saint, not to mention he often criticizes the words of a saint. But, our country of Yue Most young people believe in this sentence, of course, we believe it ourselves, and we don’t force others to believe it.”

He bit the word "others" more heavily. He Jing was taken aback when he heard that, then smiled again, pointed at Yu An and said with a smile, "Shi Ping, you're so languid now, am I still someone else?" The smile on his face was a bit bleak, he stopped talking, and let out a long sigh: "We are family friends, so we won't hide it. After I came out of Wu this time, I will definitely not be able to go back, except for the more than 1 people. Except for the elite soldier Sun Quan who can't take it away, the others probably don't belong to my He family, where in the six counties..."

He Jing shook his head, his words were very regretful.

"It's only six counties. It's worth your sighs?" Yu Fan walked in from the outside, just in time to pick up He Jing's words. He drank the teacup that came over, wiped his mouth, and then said with a smile: "Shixin is just a township of Ye, Xinding, Liyang, and Xiuyang are just townships in She County. In fact, Xindu County is just two towns. The size of the county is less than [-] households. I really can't figure out how a talent like He Bomiao would be satisfied with a food town with less than [-] households. Do you know how many food towns your brother has now?"

He Jing blushed, lowered his head and said nothing.Yu Fan is very clear about the household registrations in various places. He stayed in Danyang for a while, and he also knows the situation of the He family very well.The biggest reliance of the He family is the more than 1 Shanyue elite soldiers. Most of the income from the food towns in Xindu County has to support these 1 people. The remaining income can barely meet the luxurious life of their father and son. In fact, their lives are not as good as they appear Otherwise, He Qi would not have sent He Da to Sun Shao.After several years of hard work, He Da has become an important infantry general of the Yue Army, and he also controls thousands of people. He surpassed the Marquis of Qianhu two years ago and obtained an island in Haizhou As a fiefdom, although the island does not have many household registrations, it is rich in spices, and its income is much richer than that of Xindu County.More importantly, although He Da had a bad temper and no one would talk to him when he was under Sun Quan's subordinates, he flourished under Sun Shao's subordinates. 》Even He Qi, who has been fighting all his life, expressed his approval. It can be said that he has a family and a job.

"You are no worse than your brother, it's just that you are a few years late. Work hard, and you have a chance to show your strength." Yu Fan comforted He Jing and said, "The most important thing at the moment is to take good care of your health and get familiar with the situation in our country of Yue. If you have the opportunity, go to the army." Listen to the lectures at the academy, I believe it will inspire you."

He Jing gritted his teeth, a little reluctant. He and his elder brother He Da had some emotional quarrels, and he was really good at fighting. Now, instead of going to listen to He Da's lecture, he felt that it was a bit embarrassing.When Yu Fan saw it, he didn't persuade him too much, after all, it was a matter between their brothers.

"Haven't you been fighting recently?"

"At least there is no major war." Yu Fan sipped his tea, "It is enough for Lu Xun to bring 1 people there, most of them will be trained in Funan, and your 3 people..." Yu Fan curled his lips: " It’s not bad if you can make half of it, those who are less than twenty and those who are over fifty are all picked out, those who should study, and those who should provide for the elderly, don’t hang around in the army, it’s a waste of money.”

He Jing was startled. According to Yu Fan, it would be great if only 1 of his 3000 people remained.

"Don't worry." Yu Fan saw through He Jing's thoughts at a glance, and he sneered: "In two days, your brother will return to the special pasture city with the king, you go and see those people under your brother, and then Know why."

He Jing responded with a grunt, not daring to say anything more, but a pimple appeared in his heart. More than 1 people suddenly became more than 3000 people. He who thought he was very powerful is now at most similar to an ordinary general of the Yue Kingdom, so there is no sense of superiority.But thinking about Cheng Zi and Han Zong, he felt a little more comforted. According to the standard Yu Fan said, there were probably a few hundred of them left at most.

To Yu Fan's surprise, in mid-July, He Da and the others came back, but Sun Shao did not.Guan Xing conveyed Sun Shao's order. Sun Shao built a summer palace at the foot of the snow mountain in Panyue Kingdom as a summer resort. Guan Xing came back this time to take the queen mother, queen and others there. The city will be handed over to the Prime Minister. At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the special pasture city will not be so hot, and he will come back to listen to the work report of Zhu Jun for a year.

Yu Fan is not surprised. Since he became the prime minister of Yue, Sun Shao has been away from the capital most of the time. He is either fighting outside or negotiating business outside. The affairs of the country have always been left to the prime minister's mansion and the Yushi doctor's mansion. managed.However, this time he had something to report to Sun Shao face to face, so he handed over the affairs of the prime minister's mansion to Zhang Wen, who had just returned from meritorious service and was promoted from prime minister to deputy prime minister. Waiting for people and some family representatives who came from Wei State to take a boat to Panyue State.

Sun Shao was very surprised when he saw Yu Fan. Yu Fan is a powerful person, and he is very satisfied with his current state. It's quite abnormal for him, the prime minister, to come and report in person.

"Your Majesty, I dare not make a decision on these two matters. You must ask your Majesty to consider them." Yu Fan said straight to the point: "One is about the Shu Kingdom. Zhao Yun and Li Yan brought nearly a hundred young people here. Academy trainees. If there are only one or two people, that’s all. There are more than 100 people, and they are all the children of the rich and powerful in Shu. These people are not those poor students whose future is unknown. They went to the Kingdom of Shu. The Kingdom of Shu borders us on the border, and there are many jungle areas. If these people are trained, will they become our opponents in the future?"

Although Yu Fan's tone was asking, his attitude was already very clear. He opposed these people entering the military academy, and he was not only expressing his attitude to Sun Shao. If Sun Shao was stubborn, then he would Strong remonstrance, maybe even pulling his sleeves to debate like Lu Ji, anyway, this is not the first time in the history of Yue, nor will it be the last time.

"This is indeed a problem." Sun Shao rubbed his chin, feeling a little worried.Liu Bei died, Zhuge Liang wanted to make friends with Yue, but he made such a request, which is really unacceptable.However, the various academies of Yue State have always had no restrictions on accepting non-Yue State scholars. If they refuse at this time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?But if you want to accept all of them, that is indeed a hidden danger. The reason why the Yue Kingdom can balance the situation of the big Han with the power of one country is because the Yue Kingdom has such strength to restrain the other three countries from acting rashly. This also includes the immature steam engine. And the role of thunder.Once one of the other three countries has the strength to compete with Yue, the balance will be broken, and other unpredictable situations may occur.

"I'll talk to Zhao Yun and Li Yan about this, and let's see what they think."

"Please be careful, Your Majesty." Yu Fan went on to say, "There are some people from the State of Wei, and they want to do business with our State of Yue."

"Business?" Sun Shao was a little confused, and joked: "The Prime Minister's Mansion can't decide on such a matter? You need to work, and Duke Yu traveled all the way here. Could it be that Duke Yu is tired and wants to come and rest?"

Yu Fan also smiled: "I'm not tired. The busier you are, the more energetic you are. Your Majesty is expanding his territory. I really want to come to see you, but it's not an excuse to come this time. I believe that with your kindness, After I become an official, Your Majesty will definitely leave a small courtyard here for me."

Sun Shao couldn't help laughing: "The prime minister is really good at talking, if I don't give it, it would seem unkind."

Yu Fan laughed loudly, and made some jokes with Sun Shao, then put away his smile and said: "The Yang family and Wang family in Mount Tai, the Cui family in Qinghe, and the Du family in Guanzhong are all coming to cooperate with the Yue country. , we will cooperate with steam engine and shipbuilding as soon as we open our mouth."

The smile on Sun Shao's face suddenly froze, and he was stunned for a moment before forcing a smile: "The tone is indeed not small. From Yu Gong's point of view, is there any intention of King Wei behind them? We have been working with Sun Shao on the business of Qingzhou. Guan cooperated, they bypassed Sun Guan and came directly to me, which is weird."

"I also have this worry. I tested it several times, but they didn't reveal it. They just said that it was their own idea, and they came at the call of the Yue Kingdom. Therefore, I couldn't refuse, so I had to take them with me. Come before the king."

Sun Shao rolled his eyes and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't make a decision immediately, so he could only deal with the matter of the Shu Kingdom, meeting them first.

"Prime Minister, since you are here, don't rush back. With Zhang Wen and others here, the Prime Minister's Mansion must be able to hold on. You can take them to visit the nearby scenery and survey the terrain here. I think Zhuge Liang is very happy I will send someone to talk to you about the developer's road issue soon. You can check it out, so you know how to bargain with them. Although Zhuge Liang is young, he is a practical person. He will probably send someone to check it out before the negotiation , you can’t be fooled by him. It’s not a problem to spend more money, but it’s not appropriate to be underestimated by others.”

After hearing this, Yu Fan stroked his beard arrogantly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although I'm over [-] years old, I'm still in good health. Forgive me, I won't embarrass my Yue Kingdom."

Sun Shao laughed, he knew that even if he didn't say anything, Yu Fan would not let Zhuge Liang take advantage of him, but he knew Zhuge Liang too well, and he was afraid that Yu Fan would be careless and he would take advantage of him, so he reminded him rarely, With Yu Fan's temper, he will definitely go all out.

In the next half month, the Prime Minister accompanied Zhao Yun and others to tour the vicinity for more than a month. Lu Xun, who was appointed by Sun Shao to preside over the battle here, happened to be visiting the nearby terrain for the first time, so he accompanied him. With him, Zhao Yun, Li Yan and others counted their bosom friends. They expressed their opinions on the unique terrain here, and discussed the issues that need to be paid attention to when using troops. Lu Xun is a few years older, and he is more conceited by nature. He doesn't think highly of Lu Xun. He thinks that he can be a general in Wu State, and now he is in charge of war in Yue State. It's just because his wife is Sun Shao's third sister, not What an impressive record he really has.It is not surprising that he has this view, because Lu Xun has not shown his demeanor in large-scale foreign wars except for his meritorious service in the battle against Shanyue so far, and he is even worse than Li Yan.

Lu Xun saw Li Yan's arrogance, but kept his expression on. On the contrary, he became more respectful. He asked Zhao Yun and Li Yan for advice on everything. He even brought them to Tianzhu.Feroz is now weak, and if he wants to survive, he can only seek help from Sun Shao. Sun Shao said, I had an agreement with you Zhuluo Three Kingdoms, and I will not participate in the internal struggles of your Tianzhu people, so I cannot help you.At that time, Feroz was in a hurry, and then Sun Shao said, "However, Wu Guo has no agreement with them, so I asked General Lu to help you. If you need anything, you can contact him directly. Contact me, of course, it costs money.As a result, the border of Tianzhu under Feroz's administration was also included in Lu Xun's war zone.

After returning from traveling, Sun Shao, who had been accompanying Daqiao, Guan Feng and others in the newly built summer palace, finally received them. He held a banquet, the first official banquet for Zhao Yun, Li Yan and Yang Qin from Wei State. .When Yang Qi got up to drink to Sun Shao, Sun Shao raised his glass very kindly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, there is someone with the same name and surname as Mr. Yang, but is it your clan?"

Yang Qin is very strange, although he is from the Yang family in Shandong Province, but his own reputation is not obvious, and Sun Shao's enthusiasm for him exceeds his expectations.He was very surprised and said: "There is such a thing? The ministers really don't know, but as far as I know, no one from Taishan Yang's family has come to Wu."

"Haha, that's normal. The Yang family has a big business and a large population. There were many wars in the past few years. I thought he was from the Taishan Yang family, but it seems that I misunderstood."

"Father, could it be from the Nanyang Yang family?" A boy about six or seven years old reminded softly.He has a small round face, combed in a double bun, with delicate features and bright eyes. What is rare is that he has a calm demeanor, which is quite different from his age.

"Who is this gentleman?" Sun Shao asked curiously.

Before Yang Qin could answer, Sun Feng, who was shaking his cheeks to eat the dripping juice, answered first: "Father, I know, his name is Yang Hu, and he is sister Yu's younger brother. He is very smart."

Yanghu?Sun Shao was taken aback, and involuntarily looked at Yang Hu a few more times, and a name suddenly popped up in his mind.Yang Hu was a famous general in the late period of the Three Kingdoms period, and he was as famous as Lu Kang, who was still in his infancy. He didn't expect to appear in front of him suddenly, and he looked like this.As soon as Sun Shao rolled his eyes, he immediately thought about it, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Has your son ever been enlightened?"

"Return to Your Highness, the boy was enlightened by his aunt, and now he is studying with his aunt." Yang Hu felt a little timid under Sun Shao's eyes, and he couldn't help becoming a little cautious.Sun Shao slapped his head, thinking it was nonsense, the Taishan sheep family is a family, and all of them are family-passed Confucian classics, this sheep is of a good level, his wife is the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong, and his wife and sister are the famous Cai Yong Yan, now living in Yecheng, how could he not be enlightened yet.However, he immediately laughed again: "That's Confucianism, what about martial arts? A good man, he should be both civil and military, and only study literature, just a scholar."

Yang Qi was at a loss, Sun Shao seemed to be overly concerned.The Yang family is not famous for martial arts. Besides, the Shandong family doesn't think highly of martial arts. Most of the famous generals of the great Han come from Shanxi, and although the Han people are not as important as the later generations, they look down on martial arts, especially pure martial arts. For a long time, both civil and military skills are of course good, but there is no deliberate specialization in martial arts.

"Never." Yang Hu replied honestly.After he arrived in Temucheng, because the prime minister had never agreed to cooperate, he was arranged by Yang Yu to follow his sister Yang Huiyu into the palace to meet the queen mother and queen, and Sun Feng hit it off, and soon became good friends. Sun Feng's superb martial arts skills at a young age attracted him, and his interest in martial arts far exceeded that of an adult like Yang Qi.

"Mr. Yang, your son has a very good face and a calm demeanor. He must be a talent in the future." Sun Shao said honestly: "I like it very much, and it can be seen that the dog also likes your son very much. I wonder if Mr. Yang is willing to keep him. Be a reading companion for Gouzi in Temu City?"

"This..." Yang Yu just wanted to decline, but Sun Shao put forward a condition that he could not refuse: "Whether it is shipbuilding or steam engine, it is not easy to understand in a day or two. If you want to cooperate, you must at least be in Funan." You have to stay in the academy for a year or so to understand the key points, otherwise, you will end up with only a half-knowledge.”

Yang Qi was overjoyed, there was no reason not to agree, she quickly nodded and agreed, making the eyes of several other family representatives who were traveling with her turn red with envy.This is too outrageous. After talking with Yu Fan for so long, there was no progress at all. When I got here, I was dragged out to travel again. I thought that this matter could not be solved, but Sun Shao died because of a child. Yang Shen was given an unexpected opportunity.

This Sun Shao couldn't be looking at the daughter of the Yang family, but he used Yang Hu to talk about things, right?The few people looked at each other and guessed in unison.When they arrived in Temucheng, they all knew that Sun Shao was lustful. There were a lot of beauties from all over the world in the palace. Although Yang Huiyu was only 13 years old, it was obviously not a problem. Sun Shao's wife Xia Houhui married Sun Shao. He was only ten years old when he was introduced.
