Chapter 34 Zhao Botao selects generals Sun Zhong to plot the island

"What's your name? Who is it?" After the man put down the big stone, he was surrounded by a group of recruits and praised at the core. Zhao Feng came forward and asked. This man is also wearing a new military uniform, obviously who has just joined the army this year.

"General Hui, the villain's name is Niu Jin, Nanyang people!" The man replied.

Niu Jin, the fierce general of the State of Wei in the Three Kingdoms period in history? Zhao Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet him here. Think about it, this man in history is simply a desperado. He dares to fight with tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops with only 500 people. He is really not afraid of death. Later, Sima Yi wanted to usurp power and knew that he was Cao Wei's loyal minister, so he poisoned him. The person who can make Sima Yi so afraid is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Feng looked at the big stone that had just been placed on the ground by Niu Jin. Why did your boy join the army to perform a big stone in his chest?

Niu Jin smiled and didn't say anything. Uncle Du, who was responsible for training the recruits, replied quickly, "In the words of the general, this boy always claims to be good at martial arts. I said that if you really have the ability, you can lift this big stone, and as a result, he will lift it."

"No, have you promised others what will happen after you lift it up?" Zhao Feng felt a little untrue when he heard this. No matter how impulsive Niu Jin was, he was not so easily provoked. If it hadn't been for the promise he made, he wouldn't have worked so hard.

"General, this is just a joke between the villain and him. It's not true!" This is all laughed at Burton. However, Niu Jin stopped doing it when he heard the words, and immediately shouted, "Uncle Li Du, you promised. If I lift this stone for ten steps, you will let me be a military commander. These brothers have heard it. You can't keep your word!" A group of recruits suddenly became noisy when they heard the words.

Li Dubo was sweating profusely when he heard the words, so he could only smile at Zhao Feng. Mr. Wu?" Zhao Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised by Niu Jin's "great ambition". In the military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, five people were appointed as a army, which can be said to be the lowest officer. Even the pay is only one percent higher than that of ordinary soldiers, which is simply a symbol of the surname. At that time, even such a low official position can't be appointed by such a small hundred-person official as Li Dubo.

But it's normal to think about it. This Niu Jingang joined the army just now, and naturally there is no "ambitiousness". Looking at the cramped Li Dubo in front of him and Niu Jin with an expectant face, Zhao Feng cleared his throat and said, "Niu Jin, a man should have great ambition. What is a military commander? Uncle Li, you take the military rank as a lottery, causing the recruits not to go to train but watch the bustle here. It's not unfair to treat you to disturb the army. In this way, I will give you a chance to make atonement for your sins. If Niu Jin wins one-on-one, I will be promoted to his official; if you win, Li Dubo, I will not hold you accountable.

"Yes!" Both of them had to agree, and then the recruits handed them two wooden guns, and Niu Jin and Li Dubo stood together for a short time. After more than ten moves, Niu Jin saw a flaw sweeping a shot and immediately swept Li Dubo to the ground.

"Good!" The recruits were very happy to see Niu Jin win. It was really cool for them to be able to kill these old birds. Zhao Feng also nodded secretly. This Li Dubo's kung fu was quite solid, otherwise he would not be allowed to train new recruits. Since Niu Jin can defeat him easily, he is worthy of being a person who has left a name in history.

"Li Dubo, you go for ten laps!" Zhao Feng ordered that he didn't like to be punished with pay or rewarded with military sticks. Generally speaking, if he didn't violate the military law, it would be enough to run around. Li Dubo was granted amnesty and hurriedly went to the circle. Looking at Niu Jin, who was a little excited, Zhao Feng nodded and said, "The martial arts are good. Don't train with the new soldiers anymore. Be my personal guard!"

"Thank you, General!" Niu Jin was overjoyed when he heard the words. Although Shi Chang is one level higher than Wu Chang, the personal guard of a general is very different. Zhao Feng ordered someone to find a horse for him and let him practice riding before obeying orders.

"Second brother!"

"Lord!"

With two excited voices, the happy Sun Yi and Ding Feng walked into Jiaozhou Mufu with their heads held high. Second brother, Cheng Yuan, how's it going? Seeing the two people's excited look, Sun Quan actually basically guessed the outcome of the matter, but he still asked.

"Second brother, according to the guidance of those old boaters, we went to sea from Zhuya County and drove northeast for more than half a month. As expected, we found a big island. Chengyuan and I roughly calculated that there were nearly a thousand miles from north to south and more than three hundred miles from east to west, which was larger than Zhuya County. The land on the island is fertile and rich in products, which is simply more beautiful and rich than Jiaozhou!" Sun Yi couldn't hide his excitement.

"Can people live on the island?" Sun Quan asked the most urgent question.

"There are some indigenous people. Although their accents are different, they can still hear Chinese. According to themselves, they are descendants of the Baiyue people. However, in my view, these people live an extremely poor life, similar to those of Shanyue people!" Ding answered. .

"Ziming led people to build a city there, named Danshui, leaving 3,000 soldiers stationed there. Many local indigenous people came to rob and were repelled by our army. However, Ziming also said that this is not a long-term plan, and the lord is requested to send someone to jurisdiction as soon as possible. Sun Yi thought of something and said again.

"I know, I don't know how many people there are in Yizhou?" Sun Quan thought for a time.

"According to the elders of their clan, there are at least 100,000 people." Sun Yi replied. ( I don't know how many people there were in Taiwan during the Three Kingdoms period, so let's put it) "That's good, public achievements, Chengyuan, you lead 30,000 troops to follow the guide to Yizhou, and you must calm down there like Jiaozhou. Those indigenous people who know the current affairs will be incorporated into the people as soldiers, and those who do not know the current affairs will be wiped out, understand? Sun Quanlei ordered the way fiercely.

"I see!" Ding Feng and Ling Tong quickly answered, and the two immediately went down to prepare not to mention it. Second brother, why do you fight so much about this Yizhou? Sun Yi asked puzzledly.

Sun Quan did not answer his brother's question directly. Instead, he asked Sun Yi first, "Shu Bi, it's been more than two years since you and my brother came to Jiaozhou, right?"

"It's been two years and three months!" Sun Yi sighed, and his face was a little lonely. Ianing the little thing in his brother's heart, Sun Quan said, "Third brother, in your opinion, is the state where we live in a good state different from what we heard in Jiangdong?"

Sun Yi didn't answer so quickly this time. After a little silence, Sun Yi said, "When it was in Jiangdong, they all thought that Jiaozhou was full of miasma and poisonous snakes. Only when I came here today did I know that the world had a lot of misunderstandings about it. The land in Jiaozhou is fertile, and the rice can be cooked three times a year. After pacing the chaos of the Chams, the people here live and work in peace and happiness, which is really a southern paradise.

"Yes, if someone told me three years ago that Jiaozhou is a happy land, I would denounce it as ridiculous. However, what we have seen and heard now is better than that. It is unbelievable that these four counties, even Zhuya County, which is alone overseas, can have such a large area of iron ore. Since then, I have understood that everything in the world cannot be easily concluded. The same is true of Jiaozhou, and so is Yizhou. If Yizhou can be properly managed, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be another Jiaozhou in the future. Sun Quan is quite philosophical. He is a little philosophical.

"What the second brother said is not bad!" Sun Yi nodded and fully agreed with Sun Quan.

"In addition, Yizhou's departure from Huiji and the South China Sea are not more than a few days' itinerary. If you can subdue a military horse in Yizhou and raid Huiji or the South China Sea, you will be surprised!" Sun Quan's words suddenly changed and he was in high spirits.

Sun Yi was shocked when he heard the words. Seeing that there was really no one around, he asked in a low voice, "Second brother, do you still want to fight back to Jiangdong?"

"Don't you want to?" Sun Quan asked back.

"Of course I want to, but second brother, you?" Sun Yi is a little difficult to speak.

"Alas!" Sun Quan also sighed and then said, "Although Jiaozhou is good, it is not our hometown. At present, my mother and Ji Zuo are in Wu County, and they are monitored by Liu Bei all the time. Every time I think about it, I feel deeply uneasy. But now that I am in Jiaozhou, the population is only 700,000 and the number of soldiers is less than 60,000 or 70,000. How can I fight back to Jiangdong? I wanted to seek Jingnan as the foundation, but I didn't want to wait for me to finish Jiaozhou. Jingzhou belongs to Liu Bei. At present, Zhao Feng is in Jingnan, and there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in his hand. How can I act rashly? In order to avoid self-infliment, I can only keep a light and wait for the time. Normally, I kept my mouth shut and didn't talk about Jiangdong, but why did I forget my ambition in my heart? Third brother, now we have arrived in Yizhou, and good management is another foundation. Even if he said that something was wrong, he could take his family back to the island. When it happened to meet his mother, he saw that the sky was full of Sun Zhongmou. Even so, if you and my brothers don't let go, we may not be able to turn the world around!"

"Second brother!" Sun Yi looked at Sun Quan with a firm face and suddenly felt that his nose was a little sore. Since he came to Jiaozhou, Sun Quan has worked almost at a rapid pace, which has calmed Jiaozhou so quickly. The result of overwork is that Sun Quan, who is only 20 years old, has gray hair on his temples. When is the second brother going to enter Jiangdong? Sun Yi wiped the tears in his eyes and asked.

"Wait, when Yizhou can settle down a little, wait for Liu Bei and Cao Jian or Yuan Shao to start the war again. When we have no time to take care of Jiangdong, we will send troops to Jiangdong. Uncle Bi, in the past, it was said that Goujian, the king of Yue, had been suffering and humiliating for 20 years. We have made such achievements in operating Jiaozhou for two years. As long as you work hard to cure and wait for the sky, why don't you worry that you don't have a chance?

"I understand!" Sun Yi looked at his brother with a firm face. After counting, Sun Yi, Ding Feng and Ling Tong led 20,000 Jiaozhou troops and secretly went to sea from Zhuya County to Yizhou. The aborigines on the island were immediately frightened when they saw such a murderous army. Except for a few tribes that dare to fight, the rest are invincible. Sun Quan then sent civil servants by Xu Jing to take office, ordered Lv Meng to be the governor of Yizhou, to build a city in Yizhou, to settle people and horses, and to attract the islanders to cultivate with the advanced agricultural tools and seeds brought by the mainland, and select the elite to form an army. When it was winter after this busy work, Sun Quan finally made a foothold overseas, and greatly supplemented the population and troops. Suddenly, he was a little at ease. However, Liu Bei, who is in Shouchun, and even Zhao Feng, who is in Jingnan, are not known. Although they have also arranged detailed work in Jiaozhou, it is naturally difficult to find out this kind of thing that is far away from the ocean. What's more, they are busy resting and recuperating now, and they can't take care of this side for a while. How could they expect that Sun Quan could make such a big move.

Just as Zhao Feng was busy training and Sun Quan was plotting to seize Yizhou, there was news from the north that Yuan Shao was dead.
