The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 79 Yingyang Zhoujiao

"Feng Yi?" Sun Quanhan reported his legs with a smile and looked at the excited Sun Luban's story of what he had seen and heard in the destruction camp today: "Did he say why it was called Fengyi?"

"What did my sister say in the scriptures? I said it was because there was a phoenix in my sister-in-law's name, but my brother said it was all right."

"Yes, it's right." Sun Quan nodded with a smile: "But it's not all right."

"Why on earth is that?" Sun Luban walked around behind Sun Quan and asked with his arms around his neck.

"Big Tiger, do you know the name of your brother's building ship?"

"I don't know." Sun Luban shook his head: "I only saw one. Does he have another one?"

"Yes, I gave him two escort boats at that time." Sun Quan took Sun Luban's hand and said with a smile, "That one is called Ying Yang."

"Ying Yang? Which eagle?" Sun Luban blinked his eyes and couldn't figure it out.

"The eagle of the eagle, flying." Sun Quan turned his head and looked at Sun Luban with his eyes sideways: "Do you know what it means?"

"I don't know." Sun Luban simply shook his head.

"Do you know that Yuan? Xiaohu, what about you? Sun Quan asked Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyu, who were sitting opposite again. Sun Luyu shook his head. Sun Luyuan bit his fingers and blinked his big eyes. After a long time, he said uncertainly, "Is it Feng Yi Yuting, Ying Yang Zhoujiao?"

"Hahaha..." Sun Quan leaned over and touched Sun Luyuan's little face affectionately: "After all, it's the nephew of the Yuan family. He reads well. Big Tiger, if you don't read, you will make a fool of yourself today.

"What yin and yang? I thought you were talking about the Book of Changes." Sun Luban was a little angry and rolled his eyes: "Who knows if she is right?"

"If you don't understand, don't think that others don't understand." Sun Quan pretended to pat Sun Luban's hand angrily: "Listen to A Weng tell you that Emperor Yu Shun ruled the world with virtue, so a phoenix flew to his yard and danced for him. King Wen of Zhou lived in the world with virtue, so an eagle appeared in the suburbs to work for him to conquer the cruel and benevolent King Zhou."

"What does that have to do with the big brother?" Sun Luban asked.

Sun Quan choked for a moment. When he heard that Sun Shao had named the two warships as these two names, he understood Sun Shao's intention: he was to reassure him that if you treat me well, be the emperor of benevolent Shun and King Wen of Zhou, I am the phoenix and the eagle that works for you. But he doesn't believe this, or he believes, and others don't believe it. These days, it only comes to the size of strength, and fame only has a little effect when the strength is not enough to sweep everything. He is not Emperor Shun and King Wen, and he dares not expect Sun Shao to be the phoenix and eagle.

But in this case, he can only be able to communicate. He can't say to his daughter that Sun Shao is lying to me.

"He hopes to fight the world with A Wong. He is the eagle." Sun Quan thought for a while and had to say vaguely.

"Oh--" Sun Luban suddenly realized: " By the way, no wonder he is going to Xiyi to find Kirin."

"Kirin?" Sun Quan was puzzled. What on earth did Sun Shao take Sun Luban and others to play today? For a while, Feng and Kirin for a while.

"Brother heard that there is a country in Xiyi. There are many unicorns. He is going to catch a few heads and come back, so that our Sun family will be righteous." Sun Luban shook his little head proudly and told Sun Quan what Sun Shao said.

Sun Quan listened to it, but he was a little uncertain. Sun Shao has strength at present, which has aroused the speculation of the ministers and his uneasiness, but Sun Shao did not show any uneasiness from beginning to end. On the contrary, he has been acting very well. When he was asked to come back to participate in the war, he came back and asked him to fight the Qingxu Water Division. He also accepted that he did not show any too fierce reaction to split his Zhendan Water Division, except to throw Zhou Xun and Sun Huan into the destruction camp. Generally speaking, there is a small resentment, but there is no big handle. This made Sun Quan very contradictory. He not only hoped to eliminate Sun Shao's hidden danger in the embryonic stage, but he was afraid that he would deal with it too quickly and cause a rebound from the clan again. In order to split the Zhendan sailor, he had to use a Yuzhang Taishou to appease the clan in advance - you see, I can even forgive Sun Ben who did something wrong. How can I deal with Sun Shao? If I want to deal with him, he must have an unforgivable sin. Before Sun Shao's clear rebellion, if he forcibly dealt with Sun Shao, I'm afraid that there will still be opinions in the clan, and it will also chill others - you can even frame Sun Shao out of nothing, so who else is safe?

It's okay to deal with Sun Shao, but there must be a strong reason. So far, he has not found such a reason.

Sun Shao had revealed before that he wanted to go to sea and visit the records on the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Now he says so. Does he really think so? Even if he wants to fake it, he won't fake it through Sun Deng and Sun Luban. It sounds like he is very uneasy and doesn't want to cause trouble, so he would rather go to sea. This forbearance is rare for a surname like him, so should I also repay the truth?

"Your brother is a capable person. If he says he can, he must have it." Sun Quan let go of his mind and suddenly felt relaxed.

"Of course." Sun Luban nodded repeatedly, as if Sun Quan was praising Sun Shao as if he was praising her.

A day later, Yu Fan arrived in Jianye with the sailor. Sun Quan had prepared a water village for them. Sun Shao also officially moved out of the house and lived in the water village. As soon as he saw Sun Shao, Yu Fan vaguely expressed his concern. Sun Quan was doing this by splitting the Aurora Marine Division. If he did not deal with it properly, the Aurora Marine Division may have a survival crisis.

Sun Shao just smiled calmly. "The most urgent task in front of us is to defeat Qingxu Shuishi and help Jiangdong Shuishi regain its advantage on the river. It is very difficult for us to do this."

Yu Fanyi, Sun Shao said that the difficulty is not small. On the one hand, it means that Qingxu Shuishi is also very powerful. There are more than 8,000 people in the hands of Zang Ba and Wu Dun. More importantly, their ship is also equipped with a Thunderbolt car, and Sun Shao's advantage is not obvious. On the other hand, the Aurora sailor cannot lose too much, otherwise, he will lose the deterrent to Sun Quan and fall to the point of disposal.

"I don't think we can give it all to us if we want to seriously hit or even anniy the Qingxu sailors, and the warships in the hands of the generals must also participate in the war." Yu Fan said cautiously, "Only in this way can our strength far exceed that of Qingxu Shuishi, so that we can have an advantage and succeed in one fell swoop."

"Sir, you are right." Sun Shao nodded solemnly. He understood Yu Fan's meaning. If he wanted to fight, he dragged Jiangdong's sailors to fight together. He couldn't let them watch the play next to him. Otherwise, he would win and lose a lot, but the fruit of victory was someone else's.

He is not the kind of stupid cat that picks chestnuts for people.

"Gong Ji has been home for a few days. Why hasn't he come yet?" Yu Fan suddenly asked.

As soon as Sun Shao's eyes turned, he would immediately be surprised. He probably talked to Gu Gong happily and forgot that he had something to do. I'll invite him.

"It should be." Yu turned his head seriously and then smiled.

Sun Shao did not delay. He immediately took people out of the water village and rushed to Gu's house. Shortly after sending the sage, Gu Tan came out. As soon as he met, he respectfully saluted Sun Shao: "uncle."

Gu Tan was born in Jian'an for seven years, only three years younger than Sun Shao. He combines the elegance of the Gu family and the handsomeness of the Sun family. He is handsome, half a head younger than Sun Shao, and a little more childish.

"Zimo, is your mother there?" Sun Shao asked as he walked in. Although he is only three years older, after all, his official position is high enough. Gu Tan is a little reserved in front of him: "I'm talking with my mother inside, and my uncle can see it when he goes in."

Sun Shao smiled. It's really not easy. The eldest sister, Sun Yuanying, can talk to Mrs. Lu. He has stayed in the Gu family before, and he has never seen the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting together and chatting. He followed Gu Tan into the side courtyard where Mrs. Lu lived. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Lu sitting facing east in the hall. Lu Ji was sitting in the north, and Sun Yuanying and Lu were sitting in the east, both looking at him with smiling eyes.

"Fengxian is becoming more and more like a general." Mrs. Lu laughed loudly and said, "Yuan Ying, what do you think?"

She said that the general's style can be understood in two ways. One is that he has the demeanor of a general, and the other is that he is very similar to his father Sun Ce. When Sun Ce was alive, everyone called him a general. Sun Yuanying smiled and squeezed his lips: "Mother, don't praise him. He is a person who doesn't praise."

"Hehehe..." Mrs. Lu laughed repeatedly and said, "It's so exaggerated that I became a general at the age of 21, and even the general did not have such achievements in those years. The last time I was sick, I was really reborn.

"Madam, I'm flattered." Sun Shao politely saluted Mrs. Lu.

"Fengxian, sit down, sit down. We are listening to Gong Ji talking about you. He is stupid and boring to say. Tell us what's going on in the South China Sea." Mrs. Lu warmly greeted Sun Shao to his seat. Gu Tan served tea. Gu Cheng sat next to his mother, Mrs. Lu. Gu Rong, the son of Gu Yu, who was only a few years old, sat next to his grandmother and looked at Sun Shao with big black eyes.

Sun Shao smiled and talked about the war in the South China Sea, which made everyone sigh. Mrs. Lu said, "As the saying goes, there are a lot of birds. It's not as good as an osopus. It's the one osopus first."

"It's not just an ercon." Lu Ji smiled and said, "There is a warship called Eagle Yang. He is the eagle flying in the suburbs."

"Eagle, eagle, yes, it's an eagle." Mrs. Lu nodded repeatedly, turned her head and looked at Gu Tan with a smile: "Zimo, you are not young anymore. It's time to go out and practice. According to your mother, if you have such a good uncle, don't think about other ways. Follow your uncle to do some chores."

Gu Tan arched his hand with a smile: "I'm afraid that my grandson can be inferior, and my uncle doesn't like him."

Sun Shao smiled and pointed to Gu Tan with his finger and said, "At a young age, my teeth are sharp. How can I deal with you in the army?"

"I'm not afraid of this. My uncle will never starve my nephew to death." Gu Tan replied.)

Everyone couldn't help laughing and burst into laughter.

Mrs. Lu arranged lunch to entertain Sun Shao. After dinner, Lu Ji told Sun Shao that he did not participate in the war and was ready to go back to Wu County to reunite with his family. Since he went to Yulin, he has not been reunited with his family for nearly ten years. The accounting work that Lu Shan was originally in charge of was handed over to Gu Tan. Lu Shan said to Sun Shao that although Gu Tan was inexperienced, she had strong mental arithmetic ability and was smart. She had passed on the relevant knowledge to him and believed that he would be able to get started soon after entering the army. Sun Shao also answered, and then pulled Lu Ji aside and said the meaning. Lu Jixin understood: "It's useless to talk to my sister. Sima has never talked about official business in the house. The general is at ease to prepare. I'll talk about it."

Since Lu Ji took the initiative to undertake the task, he was relieved. Mrs. Lu arranged Gu Tan by her side, and she could not watch herself suffer losses. He talked to Sun Yuanying again and took Gu Tan to the barracks. Yu Fan saw that Lu Ji did not come back, but a young man followed him. He was a little curious. When he heard that Gu Tan was good at calculating, he tried it. As a result, he found that although Gu Tan's mental calculation ability was not as perverted as Lu Shan, he was indeed one of the best in a hundred. He was more than enough to deal with the tents in the camp, and he was relieved.

Lu Ji's work was done very well. Two days later, in the military discussion, Gu Yong proposed that in order to get the greatest results as soon as possible, the current sailors in Jiangdong should cooperate with the Zhendan sailors to fight, and they should take the task of seducing the enemy to attract the Qingxu sailors out of the water village in Jiangbei, and then the Zhendan sailors to ambush them for the first battle. And defeat the Qingxu navy and completely remove the threat. After hearing this, Sun Quan agreed very much. Lv Meng and others had no objection, so they made a decision now.

The next morning, Sun Shao led the Aurora Marine Division into the predetermined waters and was ready for battle. Jiang Qin led the warship to challenge in front of Qingxuzhai, and Lv Meng was ready to cross the river with the brigade.

However, the development of the matter was unexpected. Qingxu Shuishi, who had always been very arrogant, stuck to the village and did not go out. Jiang Qin ordered his subordinates to abuse him in every way, and Zang Ba was indifferent. Jiang Dong's prepared after-the-back move was all in the air.

Sun Shao is very anxious. If the war here has not been solved for a long time, he can't advance to the west. If Guan Yu can still be as defeated as in history, it's okay. If not, then at most two or three months, the situation in the world will enter a turning point.

At this moment, Fei Hao arrived at Jianye and made a request for food assistance to Sun Quan.

Living in the nest, Cao Jun's camp.

General Fubo, Xiahou Dun's single-clothed cloth towel, looked calm, and gave a respectful gift to an old Confucian student: "Send me, sir."

The old Confucian returned the ceremony, and the boy behind him walked away with his head held in his bag. Although Xiahou Dun has led the army for many years, he has been studying all the time. Everywhere he goes, he will invite local learned Confucian students to teach him scriptures. Compared with the aggressive Xia Houyuan, he looks very thick and elegant. The only regret is that his eyes are blind, which greatly affects his overall perception. Although he is now respected and powerful, no one dares to call him the Blind Xiahou as he did at the beginning, the bronze mirror is still the thing he hates the most.

"General, the Jiangdong Army is coming to challenge again." General Yang Wei Zang Ba strode into the military tent and bowed. Zang Ba is in his fifties this year. He has a tall figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a wide nose and a wide mouth, and a very powerful appearance. He looked straight at Xiahou Dun and asked tentatively, "Do we want to fight?"

"No need." Xiahou Dun slowly put away the silk book on the case, looked up at Zang Ba, who was a little disappointed, pointed to the seat where the Confucian teacher was sitting just now, and motioned Zang Ba to sit down: "Xuan Gao wants to fight?"

Zang Ba laughed dryly, picked up his battle skirt and sat down, and tidied up the hem of his clothes. Then he said worriedly, "The king fought viciously in Hanzhong. General Zhengnan was besieged in Fancheng, but we sat here. I'm afraid that the king will blame me in the future."

Xiahou Dun smiled and said loudly, "Xuan Gao, don't worry. Since I have been ordered by the king, the governor is here. Naturally, I will bear anything. If the king wants to blame, let him blame me.

Zang Ba slit his lips. This sentence was blocked by Xiahou Dun, but Xiahou Dun was the governor of the 26th Army, and he had to obey orders. But he was a little unwilling. In the past, Qingxu Shuishi was not the opponent of Jiangdong Shuishi, but now it is different. Qingxu Shuishi, who is equipped with a Thunderbolt, can now completely beat Jiangdong Shuishi. Why do he still stay in the village? Is it because the Zhendan Mariner came? Zang Ba has fought with pirates and knows the combat effectiveness of pirates. To be honest, the strengths of pirates are coming and going. In the real face-to-face battle, they are not the opponents of the sailors at all. Sun Shao's men are mainly pirates. Although there are many people, they are not terrible.

"Xuan Gao, can you defeat the Jiangdong Marine Division on the whole line and help the army land?" When Xiahou Dun saw Zang Ba's unwillingness, he asked with a smile. Zang Ba thought for a thought and shook his head. It was okay to have the upper hand on the water. It was more difficult to cross the river, otherwise why did they stay here and cross the river early?

"In this case, why should we be in a hurry for a while?" Xiahou Dun said slowly, "The king's war in Hanzhong has been smooth. Liu Bei has reached the point of exhaustion. There are rebellions in Yizhou. In a few months, Yizhou will have no soldiers to send and no food to eat. How can he be defeated? Although Zhengnan was surrounded by Guan Yu in Fancheng, they held more than enough. General Zuo (Yu Ji) has led 30,000 troops to support him. If not, he can join Zhengnan, and he will definitely defeat Guan Yu. In this way, Yizhou is feasible, and the world can be determined. Xuan Gao, we don't need to fight hard. As long as we protect Jiang Huai and don't give Sun Quan a chance, it's a great achievement. Are you worried that the king will forget our credit?

"I dare not." Zang Ba shook his head quickly.

Xiahou Dun's meaning has been very clear. They are restraining, braking quietly, attacking instead of defending, attracting Sun Quan, making him unable to support Liu Bei, waiting for Cao Qian and Yu Ban to break through Liu Bei and Guan Yu. From the perspective of the joint situation, this plan is of course the best plan, and of course there will be credit, but how can the credit of others be compared with the merit of breaking the army and killing the enemy?

Zang Ba is still unwilling.

Seeing that Zang Ba still didn't leave, Xiahou Dun meditated for a moment and said, "Xuan Gao, do you know anything about Sun Shao's Zhendan sailor?"

"I don't know much." Zang Ba said in a low voice, "As far as I know, the Zhendan sailors are mainly pirates in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. There are few sailors in Jiangdong, which seem to be Gan Ning's subordinates, and some of them are the sailors of Houguan Shipyard. I estimate that there are also some Jiaozhou sailors. They used to have their own subordinates, but they were just combined by Sun Shao.

Xiahou Dun smiled. Zang Ba meant that Sun Shao's men were a mixed team except for pirates. The combat effectiveness was definitely not strong. There was no need to worry. He still wanted to fight. Xuan Gao, before the arrival of the Zhendan sailors, have the Jiangdong sailors taken the initiative to fight?

Zang Ba grinned and smiled proudly: "I had it at the beginning, but I didn't dare later."

"Then why do they dare to challenge in front of your village now?" Xiahou Dun then asked, "Are Lv Meng and Jiang Qin that kind of impulsive people?"

Zang Ba's words are choked.

"Since the attack is not sure, why not stick to it? Sometimes it's time to use attack instead of defense, and sometimes it's time to replace defense. Time changes and things are different, so you can't stick to it. Xiahou Dun stood up and walked to the back tent: "S pass on my military order, those who go to war without authorization, behead!"

"Oh." Zang Ba didn't dare to say anything more and bowed down to take the order.
