Chapter 77 Gift

Sun Shao knocked on the table, and the monotonous "Doutu" sound made Guan Feng and Sun Shangxiang's hearts beat down, and the four eyes looked at Sun Shao without blinking. Guan Feng was worried about Guan Yu. Fan Cheng and Xiangyang had not yet conquered, and another 30,000 troops were imprisoned. In addition, Guan Yu's situation was very critical due to the lack of military food. She knew that in order to solve the danger of Yizhou, Guan Yu would never retreat from Fancheng at this time, and he would definitely fight to the end. But the disadvantage is so obvious, how many opportunities can he have?

Sun Shangxiang is also worried that although she has no feelings for Liu Bei, she is still husband and wife after all, and once Liu Bei is defeated, it will be difficult for Jiangdong to survive alone. As a man, she is inevitably anxious, otherwise she would not have come as soon as she heard the news.

"Don't worry." Sun Shao waved his hand and comforted him, "The terrain of Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Cao Qian has been trapped in it for more than half a year. He has probably reached the end of the crossbow. Now it depends on who can persist. Zhuge Liang is not the kind of person who will give up easily. He still knows the situation in Jiangdong. He must know that the food in Jiaozhou has been shipped to Jianye. I guess he will send someone to ask the supreme for support.

Guan Feng and Sun Shangxiang looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. After Sun Shao and Bu Yu teamed up to pace Jiaozhou last year, Bu Yu transported a large amount of grain to Jianye, and Jianye is not short of food now. Since the end of Zhongping, the world has been in chaos. Only Jiaozhou has not had a major war. Not only has the population not decreased, but on the contrary, it has increased a little. Since the end of last year, there has been an endless stream of grain ships in Jiaozhou, which have filled several large warehouses in Wu County and Huiji. Jiangdong is not short of food now, and he has not asked for another two years. Question.

"I'm worried about the war in Jingzhou." Sun Shao glanced at Guan Feng, whose face was pale, and sighed secretly. He didn't dare to go deep, but said, "My father-in-law is an arrogant man. He will never withdraw from the army because of the arrival of the ban. I believe in his ability to use soldiers, but the lack of military food will inevitably affect morale."

Guan Feng nodded repeatedly and felt that what Sun Shao said was right to the point. In fact, she didn't know that Sun Shao was more worried that Guan Yu would rush to grab food despite the current fragile alliance between Liu and Sun. As far as he knows, Changsha County, which borders the public security, now has sufficient grain reserves - Changsha is the front line, the defense zone east of Xiangshui is Lusu, and the defense zone of Guanyu west of Xiangshui. In order to cope with the possible war, the Xiangguan in Changsha has a large amount of military grain. If it's another person, maybe he will borrow from Lu Su with good words. Lu Su is not a person who doesn't know the general situation, and he will borrow a little more or less. However, Guan Yu and Sun Shao did not have confidence in him. He probably would rather take it without suing than bowed his head to Lu Su.

Once Guan Yu really does this, then no matter how general Lu Su is, I'm afraid he can't tolerate such a thing. Once the alliance between the two sides is broken, it will be even more difficult to do. From the current situation, the reason why there has been no great progress on the Sun Quandong line is that there is no intention to weaken Liu Bei's strength with Cao's hand.

"Auntie, don't delay. Go to Jingzhou immediately and take all our ships with you. Don't transport anything else, just transport the grain."

"Transfer to food? Where did so much food come from in a hurry? Sun Shangxiang shook his head repeatedly: "Guan Gong now has more than 20,000 people, and the news consumes 1,200 stones of grain a day. You have to give him at least half a month of grain, which is about 20,000 stones, and there are not so many spot goods on the market. Moreover, if we buy a large amount of grain for western transportation, someone will definitely report it to him.

"Don't worry." Sun Shao smiled and said, "You take my hand order to Jingkou and you will have food."

Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Shao in surprise. Sun Shao is real money. Is a hand order of 20,000 stone grain?

Sun Shao glanced at her and said, "Don't hesitate. Go back and clean it up. After transporting the grain to Jingzhou, don't stop. Go back to the Han River and transport it directly to Xiangyang and hand it over to Guan Gong. Solve his urgent needs first.

"Good." Sun Shangxiang nodded, thought for a while, and then asked, "Since you have food, why don't you give more? This battle can't be finished in half a month. In addition, is it beneficial to the state?

Sun Shao glanced at her angrily. This is his private food. He has food. From the south, he got 300,000 stones, but most of them stayed in Zhuya. He took 100,000 stones when he set off. After two months of sailing, he only had about 50,000 stones left. 20,000 stones to Guan Yu could only be an emergency. His more than 10,000 people were also He wants to eat, not to mention that he has to prevent Sun Quan from jamming his neck, so he has to keep some in case of an accident.

"If it's not enough, then go to Lu Su or Sun Zhuo to borrow it. You have a lot of face, and they have to give you some. I estimate that Zhuge Liang's letter of help will soon arrive in Jianye. At that time, the supreme will naturally transport the food. With my strength, I can only let him get through the difficulties temporarily.

Sun Shangxiang gave a bad smile, and the ghost believed you. She didn't say much. She said a few more words. Sun Shao wrote a hand order and gave it to her. She carefully put it away and left in a hurry.

"Silver screen, don't be idle." Sun Shao patted Guan Feng's hand and said, "You give A Li to your mother, take fifty guards to get up immediately, and take the fast boat to Jingzhou."

"Me?" Guan Feng didn't understand it for a while.

"Well, go to Jingzhou to find your father and tell him that the food he supports will arrive soon. Please ask him to calm down. At the same time, send someone to pick him up, and then ask him for an order. After I finish beating Qingxu Shuishi, I will be ordered by the Supreme to cooperate with him to attack Fancheng. You tell him that I need Jiangling as a transit terminal, and I hope he can allow me to enter Jiangling. After asking for the general order, you should immediately enter Jiangling, arrange the people and ox carts, and be ready to transport materials.

"Are you going to Jiangling? Why don't you go straight to Fancheng along the Han River? It's fast and convenient.

"You don't understand." Sun Shao smiled and pinched Guan Feng's nose affectionately: "Just do as I say."

"But what if my father doesn't agree?"

"He will definitely agree." Sun Shao couldn't say much and waved to her to do it.

Although Guan Feng was suspicious, when she saw that Sun Shao was in command and did not worry, she answered and turned around to pick up her son and went to the backyard. The bridge was a little strange, but she didn't ask anything. She didn't understand the war. Sun Shao must have her reason for such an arrangement. She just took good care of her grandson. Guan Feng kissed the child and reluctantly left. When the child saw her leave, his dark eyes turned twice, grinned at the bridge, and smiled. Compared with Guan Feng, whose surname is a little anxious, the gentle bridge is the person he wants to be close to. When Sun Shao is not at home, the bridge takes care of him most of the time.

The bridge looked at the carefree child and suddenly remembered Sun Shao. When she first entered the Sun family, Sun Shao was also so old and carefree. She did not know that her parents had died one after another, and he had become an orphan. At that time, he was also very attached to the bridge, as if the bridge was his mother.

The bridge held A Yu in his arms and sighed. In a trance, he seemed to feel that Sun Shao was hugging him. She recalls the scene where Sun Shao held her in his arms and persuaded her to remarry just now. Her face turned red. Inadvertently, Sun Shao had become a big man. The masculinity on his body was very similar to Sun Ce in those years. Moreover, he was more careful, gentle and considerate than Sun Ce.

Advise her to marry again? Fortunately, he could figure it out. However, he is right. He is only in his early thirties. Even if he lives to be sixty years old, he still has to live nearly half of his life. Can he live like this? It's not a way to remarry, but who can she marry in her current situation? Sun Quan? As soon as the name came out, the bridge felt a little disgusting. He quickly shook his head and threw the name out of his mind.

The bridge thought wildly. Unconsciously, the child was already asleep, and the toy in his hand fell to the ground, making a "pop" sound and waking up the bridge. The bridge quickly called Qiao Yue and asked her to take A Yi in to sleep. She sat and thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled.

Let's talk about it with my sister tomorrow. The bridge explained to himself that looking at A Man, there was probably a way to dissolve the marriage between the Zhou family and the Sun family. If he could marry A Yu into the door, he would also have a considerate companion.

Early the next morning, Sun Shangxiang rushed to the capital, and Guan Feng rushed to Jingzhou with 50 guards. Sun Shao was not in a hurry. He didn't have breakfast at home. After washing up, he strolled to the general's mansion next door. Sun Quan was preparing for the war and was very busy. Sun Shao didn't look for him either. He went to the backyard for a while. He saw Sun Luban, who was practicing martial arts in the morning, wearing leather armor and dancing with a long knife. His vigorous appearance was like a little Sun Shangxiang.

"Color." Sun Shao clapped his hands.

Sun Luban turned his head and saw that it was Sun Shao. She didn't even have time to throw the knife. She jumped up with cheers and jumped up, hugged Sun Shao's neck tightly, and wrapped her long legs around Sun Shao's waist. She smiled and said, "Brother, when did you come back?"

"I came back the day before yesterday." Sun Shao patted her little buttocks: "Come down quickly! The person who is about to get married is not formal at all. When your mother sees it, she will scold her again. Be careful with your knife, don't hurt me."

"Hee hee, who said I was going to get married?" Sun Luban jumped down and shook the long knife in his hand: "Brother is really bad. He has been back for two days, and he doesn't want to play with me."

"I'm busy." Sun Shao said with a smile, "Is the tiger angry? Why don't I invite you to the market for breakfast and accompany you?"

As soon as Sun Luban heard this, his eyes immediately shone. He jumped three feet high, turned his head and ran. As he ran, he said, "Okay, you wait, I'm going to take a shower and change into a beautiful dress."

"Call Lu Yuan and Lu Yu." Sun Shao shouted loudly.

"I see." Sun Luban's voice came from afar.

Sun Shao was waiting at the door. Mrs. Bu came out of the room when she heard the news. As soon as she saw him, she smiled and said, "Feng Xian, what's the matter?"

"It's okay." Sun Shao hurriedly saluted Mrs. Bu and explained with a smile, "I haven't been at home for a year. How are you, madam?"

"Good." Mrs. Bu returned the gift with a smile: "Uncle has a book saying that thanks to you this time, I haven't thank you yet."

Sun Shao shook his head: "Thank you, Bu Shijun and I are both uncle's ministers. We should cooperate together. This is our duty as a minister. Besides, it's my honor to cooperate with Bu Shejun. With his advice, I have also benefited a lot.

Mrs. Bu looked at Sun Shao with admiration. Sun Shao has been an official for more than a year. Now he is eight feet tall, strong, and a little more calm. He is like a graceful young man. What she appreciates more is that although Sun Shao is now a noble general, he does not have a share with the children of Dahu Class. He not only often asks people to bring some novel gifts to them, but also comes to play with them in his spare time, which is much more easy-going than those teenagers who are reserved as soon as they become officials.

"Do you want to take the big tiger out?"

"I haven't seen them for a year. I miss my brothers and sisters very much. I want to take them out for a walk while I still have some time. Please ask my wife's permission." Sun Shao said respectfully. I didn't see Arden. Have you gone to read?

Mrs. Bu nodded: "Yes, since last year, he has been accompanied by Zhuge Ke and others to study. The child worked very hard and got up before dawn. He must not have rested yet."

Sun Shao curled his lips secretly. Sun Quan is so attentive that he thinks that he has cultivated Sun Deng as a prince. This 11-year-old child suffers like this. This childhood is really not interesting at all. However, Sun Deng's surname is also a slow surname. I think he dares not resist Sun Quan.

"Fengxian, since you're back, I have something to entrust to you." Mrs. Bu said with some embarrassment.

"Madam, please say that as long as I can do it, I will naturally try my best to do it." Sun Shaoyi said indisputably.

Mrs. Bu was very satisfied when she saw that he answered cheerfully. She hesitated for a moment: "The big tiger was spoiled by me and was not very obedient. She is ten years old this year, and she should get married in two or three years. This female worker should also learn, but she only likes to dance swords and swords. As soon as she learns from a female worker, she will lose her temper, which is not a thing after all. When I said her, she didn't listen to me. I thought about it, that is, you can say a few words about her. Look at it..."

Sun Shao smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Madam, don't worry, if the opportunity is right, I will definitely persuade my sister."

"Well, I'm really ashamed that my daughter can't be taught by herself, but she has to bother you."

"What did you say, madam? When I was a child, I was taught by my uncle and wife. We are all a family. Why do we need to distinguish them too clearly?" Sun Shaobin said politely. As the two were talking, Sun Luban rushed out of it like a gust of wind. Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu followed him slowly and ran angrily. His little face was full of a healthy blush. As soon as he saw Sun Shao, he smiled shyly and saluted. His crisp voice was as beautiful as a yellow orion: "Big brother."

"Brother, let's go. Don't nagging your mother. She won't stop talking for a long time." Sun Luban took Sun Shao's hand and walked out. Mrs. Bu's face sank, but she didn't have time to get angry. Sun Luban was about to go out. Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu saluted with a little restraint. They hurried out of the backyard door until Mrs. Bu couldn't see it. Then they picked up their skirts and ran away.

Mrs. Bu had no choice but to arrange someone to follow.

When passing through the front yard, Sun Shao grabbed Sun Luban, pointed to the lobby of Sun Quan's office and said, "Big Tiger, go and have a look quietly. Is the one named Lu Yi there? Be careful not to let you see it, or don't blame me if you can't get out.

Sun Luban understood and seriously entered the yard. Lang Zhong, who was on duty in the yard, knew her, and no one dared to provoke her. She walked to the small room next to the lobby and took a look. Seeing that Lv Yi was not in it, she pulled a Lang Zhong next to her and asked, saying that Lv Yi was off today, so she quietly retreated out and told Sun Shao.

Sun Shao didn't say much. He took them out of the door. The carriage was already ready and went straight to the big city. When he arrived in the big city, he went straight to Lv Yi's restaurant. The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw him, and then saw that the little girls around him were all Sun Quan's daughters. They did not dare to neglect and quickly let them into the elegant room.

"Pose what you are good at." Sun Shao was not polite and ordered directly, "These little pigs in my family may have eaten."

Sun Luban laughed and rubbed his hands and said, "Since my brother said so, I'm not polite."

The shopkeeper's smile went down to arrange it. After a while, all kinds of hot snacks were brought up like flowing water. Sun Luban rolled up his sleeves and chewed according to the case. Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu were relatively shyer. They carefully put snacks in their mouths with ivory chopsticks, took a small bite, looked at each other, and smiled happily. Of course, the food in the general's mansion will not be bad, but that's what they eat every day will inevitably make people bored, and there are many rules when eating. They are not as presumptuous as Sun Luban. They should pay attention to those who eat silently and do not show their teeth. How can they be as comfortable as now.

After a while, the shopkeeper opened the door and motioned to Sun Shao with his eyes. Sun Shao nodded and said to Sun Luban, who was full of oil, "Eat slowly. There are still a lot of good things in it. I'll come as soon as I go."

Sun Luban's mouth was full, and she couldn't make time to speak. She waved her hand caresly and motioned Sun Shao to do it.

Sun Shao went out of the door. The shopkeeper was waiting outside the door without saying anything. He led him to a hidden elegant room and opened the door. Lv Yizheng stood on the side of the door to greet him. Sun Shao entered the door, and the shopkeeper pulled the door and left quietly.

"Sun Jun." Lv Yi bowed and asked Sun Shao to sit down. Sun Shao was not polite and sat in the upper seat. Lv Yi sat in the lower seat, made tea with his own hands and brought it to Sun Shao, and then sat aside quietly.

Sun Shao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He praised it, put the teacup on the table, and looked at Lv Yi with a smile: "How have you been recently?"

Lv Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, General, for your concern. Lv Yi is living a safe life."

Sun Shao looked at him quietly, and after a while, he asked, "I see that there are a lot of new faces in the house. Some of them seem to be from Wu County, and there seem to be many of Zhu Zhang and Gu Lu's families."

Lv Yi's eyes jumped and he was silent for a moment: "It was recommended by Zhu Fujun (Zhu Zhi) last year. They are all talents from Wu County."

"The talent of Wu County? How about Brother Bilu?

Lv Yi smiled and said, "Lv Yi's blunt people, how dare you compare with them? Please don't make fun of them."

Sun Shao sighed and shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry for it."

Lv Yi looked at Sun Shao with some surprise. He could not be promoted in Sun Quan's mansion for a long time. On the one hand, he was too shrewd and had a bad relationship with his colleagues, and on the other hand, it was because he was not from a big family. What does this have to do with Sun Shao?

"The two people who crossed the river with me at the beginning, Gan Yu almost died in Huiji Shipyard. Brother Lv was talented, but he had not been promoted for a long time. It was all my fault."

Lv Yi's heart surged with excitement. He quickly shook his head and said, "The general is joking. This is my shallow and has nothing to do with the general. It is my lucky to be able to accompany the general to cross the river and see the general's heroism. I, Lu Yi, have never regretted it.

"Bado is a generous person." Sun Shao sighed with regret: "I'm very sorry. Bo Dao, there is something I want to discuss with you today.

Lu Yi was suddenly a little reserved. Sun Shao has become Sun Quan's heart in the past two years, and he has nothing to do with him. He hasn't been promoted for a long time, and there is no reason in it. If Sun Shao asks him to do something, he really needs to think about it. Sun Shao has strength now, and Sun Shao dares not touch him easily, but once Lv Yi has the motivation to turn to Sun Shao, Sun Quan's life of Lv Yi's surname is a matter of moving his fingers. This is related to his family name and life, and he can't be cautious. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "General, please tell me."

Sun Shao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Lv Yi. Lu Yi glanced at it and couldn't help holding his breath. There are only a few words on it, but he understands at a glance that this is the recipe for the new wine.

"General, what are you?" Lv Yi stabted a little.

"To tell you the truth, I have made some small money outside. Now I have disdained to make money for dozens of gold and hundreds of gold every year." Sun Shao laughed and said, "In the wine shop in Wu County, I gave my fourth uncle's undefeat last year. Jianye's winery is my aunt's property, and I can't make the decision. In addition to the markets in these two places, there are about seven counties. I gave it to you together, which is also a little bit of my heart.

"This can't work." Lv Yi refused without thinking about it. Nearly 300 yuan a year in these seven counties is not a small number. As the saying goes, the mouth is soft and the hand is short. Sun Shao suddenly gave him such a big gift, and the matter that asked him to be not small.

"Don't worry." Sun Shao pressed Lv Yi's hand and smiled confidently: "I'm very sorry for the implicated Bo Dao. This is my little intention. Don't worry. Although some little people say that I am wrong in front of the Supreme, I am right and upright, and I also believe that the Supreme will not believe those slanders, so I don't need to work for Brother Lu to do anything. If Bo Dao is willing to give it to me as a friend, you can accept it. A gentleman is frank and the villain is often sad. I don't want to push around with Bo Dao.
