Chapter 12 Decoupling
"Sit down." Sun Quan pointed to the opposite side with the brush in his hand and said without raising his head. Every time Sun Shao saw him, he was like this. It seemed that there were always endless official affairs and endless people.
"Supreme." As soon as Sun Shao opened his mouth, he pleaded guilty and said regretfully, "I messed up the matter and was cheated by the old thief."
Sun Quan didn't even raise his head. He just raised his eyelids and glanced at him. He immediately returned to the book. While writing hard, he smiled and said, "Now you know the depth. You Man, you can't beat that man.
Sun Shao suddenly moved in his heart, and a smile flashed at the corners of his mouth. Then he answered honestly: "Yes, I saw the drawings of the Thunderbolt at that time. I was so anxious that I answered him."
"Did you see the drawing?" Sun Quan was a little surprised. When Lv Yi reported to him, he just said that Sun Shao wanted to change the drawing, but he didn't change it later. Sun Quan has heard of this Thunderbolt car for a long time and is quite moved, but he is far more realistic than Sun Shao. He knows that this kind of sharp weapon cannot be easily given to people. Cao Hen is probably cheating Sun Shao.
"Well, I saw it. Liu Ye grabbed it in his hand at that time. He asked me for a prescription for wine, and I... didn't want to give it to him.
Sun Quan didn't say anything. He put down the pen in his hand, picked up a hand towel in a lacquer plate next to him and wiped his hand. Then he pinched up a piece of cake and took a bite. He slowly chewed it, and his eyes flashed, as if he were thinking about something important. It was not until he finished eating the cake that he smiled thoughtfully: "I have long heard that Cao Wei has a ghostly spy group under him. Sure enough, he lives up to his reputation. In such a short time, he actually found out the news of the new wine. Feng Xian, you're right. I'd rather not have this Thunderbolt than give him the new wine recipe.
Sun Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous look on his face was a little relieved. Sun Quan looked at it and smiled faintly, "What, are you afraid that I will blame you?"
Sun Shao touched his head and said with some regret, "I think it's a pity that if you can exchange the Thunderbolt car and set up a few on the Ruxu Dock, you will be more sure to guard the Ruxu Dock in the future."
"Ruxuwu is as solid as gold."
"I feel suspenseful." Sun Shao curled his lips and said worriedly, "Cao soldiers are many, and there are talents like Liu Ye, and the attack power is very sharp. Although I didn't go into the dock to check, I just passed by, but I saw that there was a lot of damage on the wall of the dock. Although the Qingxu navy is not as good as our Jiangdong navy, it can't be underestimated. If Qingxu Shuishi installs a Thunderbolt car or a strong crossbow on the warship, I'm afraid it's not easy to guard the Ruxu Dock.
"load the Thunderbolt into the warship?" Sun Quan smiled and felt that it was a little impossible, but on closer thought, it was really scary enough to load the Thunderbolt car on the big ship. He raised his eyebrows and felt a little sorry. If Sun Shao could change to the drawings of the Thunderbolt this time, he would rush to make a few and place some on the Ruxu dock, which is much more reliable than installing the Thunderbolt on the warship. He moved his hand and wanted to call someone, and then he gave up his mind. He coughed and said, "Feng Xian, let's talk about this later. It's okay to let the old thief live a few more days. After his age, he has no head, and he hasn't lived for a few years. After 30 years of war, there will be more or less old injuries on his body. As soon as he breaks out, he will be difficult. This time you defeated Zhang Liao and greatly raised the morale of our army. Now the soldiers treat you as a hero. Although Gan Xingba doesn't say anything, I can see that he still values you very much.
Sun Shao smiled a simple smile, both compladened and shy. Sun Quan looked at it and was a little funny, and then said, "If you make contributions, you will be rewarded. Tell me, how do you want me to reward you?"
Sun Shao's eyes lit up: "Do you want me to say?"
Sun Quan stared into his eyes and nodded: "It's up to you."
Sun Shao despised himself and said that you really think I'm a fool. If I want to say that you lead the army, you must have other reasons. Since everyone is acting, let's play a full set. Although I don't have as many things as you, my talent for acting is much better than you. He pretended to be very excited, rubbed his hands, thought for a moment, and then said confidently, "I want a boat, a lot of boats."
"The ship? Are there a lot of boats?" Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled jokingly: "Can I give you a sailor?"
"No." Sun Shao shook his head without thinking: "I want a ship that can load goods. Of course, I have to have two warships, otherwise I won't be able to fight back when I meet a water thief."
"Do you still want to do business?" Sun Quan laughed out loud. What he was most worried about was that Sun Shao wanted to lead the army, and Sun Shao showed his skills before the battle this time, and his prestige in the army suddenly increased a lot. At this time, if he wanted to lead the army, it was really difficult for Sun Quan to simply refuse him. Now he is relieved to hear that he still wants to do business. Although he also wants two warships, this is not a big deal for Sun Quan.
"Yes." Sun Shao took out the bamboo charm like a treasure: "As long as I have a boat, I can do business in the world without paying taxes."
Sun Quan stretched out his hand to take over the rune and took a look, but he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Sun Shao could get this. It seemed that Cao Yan also valued Sun Shao very much. He thought for a thought and said with a smile, "So, your 500 stone wine is not given for free."
"Hahaha..." Sun Shao laughed and looked a little complacent. "How can I give them wine for nothing? As soon as they drink it this time, it will be tasteless to drink other wine next time. At that time, they will have to pay whatever price I want. I want to recover thousands of times the price of this 500 stones.
"Vertical." Sun Quan laughed and scolded easily, "So you have this in mind. No wonder, it was my wine, and the money earned was yours. That won't work. I'll take a share at that time. This is my investment. With that, he couldn't help laughing. With the worry in his heart, he looked much more natural. Looking at Sun Shao with flying eyebrows, he was both happy and a little regretful. Alas, it's all caused by this power. If I hadn't been the lord of Jiangdong, I wouldn't worry about Sun Shao coming to seize this position. Why should their uncles and nephews be so defensive against each other? Maybe how kind they would be. Sun Shao is cheerful and very interesting. From Mrs. Bu, Mrs. Yuan to several children, they all like him very much. He also likes Sun Shao very much, but he has scruples in the middle, and he always feels a little unnatural.
Sun Shao patted his chest carelessly: "Uncle, don't worry, this 500 stone wine is worth about 50 gold. When I go to Liaodong, I will buy two BMWs for my uncle, and I will definitely satisfy my uncle."
"It's settled." Sun Quan laughed and seemed to put aside the contradictions between them for a moment: "You can rest assured to do business. Don't worry about your family. I'll take care of you."
"My mother is at home with my aunt, but I don't feel lonely. If there is anything that can't be solved, I naturally have to ask my uncle to take action. As for the screen, I want to take it with me. Those guards of the Guan family listen to her more, and she is used to water warfare and commanding, which is much easier than me. Sun Shao looked a little resentful: "Fird, you have brought my bowl, but you haven't taken me as your master yet."
Sun Quan hesitated for a moment and nodded. Sun Shao is not leading troops, and he doesn't need to leave too many hostages. Besides, it may not be a good thing for Guan Feng not to be at home.
The two said a few words of stubborn laughter, and Sun Quan said casually, "Do you think Cao's army is coming from afar this time? Are you determined?"
Sun Shao shook his head: "In my opinion, he is just making a look this time. I'm afraid he is knocking on the mountain of Jiangdong, but the tigers in Yecheng and Luoyang are in the town. In addition, he hesitated about the establishment of an heir, and his mind was never in Jiangdong.
Sun Quan thought for a moment and nodded secretly. The big stone in his heart was a little relieved. The previous battle was too aggrieved. Although there was Ruxuwu, he still didn't have enough confidence.
"However, the supreme can't be sloppy." Sun Shao also reminded: "Since he has gone on an expedition, of course, he must have some results. He may not have shown his power and forced the supreme to bow his head. Only by letting the supreme bow his head can he free up his troops and attack Hanzhong with all his strength.
Sun Quan's eyes flashed, stroked the purple hand under his jaw, hesitated for a moment and said, "You mean, he will attack for a while?"
"I guess it should be." Sun Shao scratched his head, smiled, and looked a little unconfident: "Since I'm here, of course I have to try my best. Fortunately, it's not impossible for him to take Hanzhong. People always have a fluke mentality.
"It makes sense." Sun Quan nodded slowly and looked at Sun Shao with complicated eyes. He had both appreciation and regret. Although Sun Shao is only the beginning of the war, his analysis of the war situation is quite reasonable, which is in line with what he thinks in many places. Compared with many generals who have been fighting for many years, it is not inferior. If it weren't for the special status and the fact that he had been with him for a few years, it would have been a fierce general comparable to Lv Meng and Jiang Qin. What a pity. Such a good material can only be idle. Fortunately, he has made some progress recently, and he can still understand his painstaking work. He is not as reckless as before, otherwise it is really difficult to deal with.
Sun Quan sighed for a while, sighed secretly, picked up the pen again, and made a gesture of seeing off the guests: "Well then, I will immediately ask someone to prepare official documents for you, transfer ten merchant ships and two warships for you. You can go to the inspector's place to lead the ship by yourself. He sighed and said with envy, "From now on, you can sleep every day until you wake up naturally. Count the money until your hand cramps. One day you make money satisfactorily. Thinking of my uncle, it's right to come and help me."
"How dare you?" Sun Shao got up and said goodbye. Anyway, the ship had arrived, and he was not interested in talking to Sun Quan again. These hypocritical words make you feel sick. If you really want me to help you, why didn't you say it just now? Moreover, there is a big ship officer in Yuzhang. You want me to go to Houguan to pick up the boat. Is it clear that you want me to go a little farther? Just let me go to Panyu.
Sun Shao returned to his big account and immediately asked people to pack up. The bridge and Guan Feng had a tacit understanding. No one asked, and immediately arranged someone to clean it up. After a long time, Lv Yi sent the official document of the ship. Sun Shao thanked him again and apologized for his rudeness yesterday. Lv Yi smiled unnaturally and whispered, "Mr. Sun, do you mind if I report everything to the Supreme?"
"It's right." Sun Shao patted Lv Yi on the shoulder with a smile: "Brother Lv, a loyal gentleman, it's too late for me to be eager. How can I meet him outside? Brother Lu will be very good in the future, and he will take more care of businessmen like me.
Lv Yi listened and said that he didn't dare, but he was very happy. Sun Shao not only did not dislike him, but also looked up at him so much, which made him very useful. It's a pity that such a knowledgeable person can only do business just because he is Sun Ce's son. It's a pity. Sun Quan is generous to people, but he is too ruthless to Sun Shao.
Hearing that Sun Shao was leaving, Mrs. Bu came to see her off with her daughter. The two little girls took Sun Shao's hand and were reluctant to give up. Sun Shao left. There was no one to play with them anymore, and there was no one to cook delicious food for them. Brother..." Sun Luban choked, and his little face was crying. He looked up and looked at Sun Shao pitifully: "When will you come back to play with us?"
Sun Shao squatted down, hugged the two little girls in his arms, and said with a smile, "Why are you crying? Brother, just go back to the city first. When you finish the battle, he will also go back to the city. Don't worry, brother, I'm going to Chengdu this time to buy you a lot of beautiful Shujin clothes, and I promise to dress you up beautifully. I'll buy a lot of fallen forest powder to make you fragrant and the most beautiful woman in Jiangdong, okay?
"Brother, you have to keep your word." Sun Luban stretched out his finger and said seriously, "Let's pull the hook."
Sun Shao smiled and stretched out his finger to pull with Sun Luban. The two said in one voice, "Pick the hook and hang, a hundred years, don't change." Then he hooked up with Sun Luyu, and the two little girl smiled with tears. Sun Shao lowered his face and said to Sun Luban, "Big Tiger, the eldest brother is not with you. You can't bully your sister, or the eldest brother will beat your ass when he comes back. Do you hear me?"
"Hmm." Sun Luban nodded obediently.
When Mrs. Bu saw that the unruly Sun Luban was so obedient in front of Sun Shao, she said with some emotion, "I, a big tiger, have been disobedient since I was a child. It's easy for Fengxian to cure her, but Fengxian has to do things. It's a pity that I will have a big head in the future."
The bridge looked at Sun Shao with relief and said no words with a smile.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Bu, Sun Shao's family left the camp. There was a boat leaning against the shore by the river. A strong man about 40 years old stood in the bow of the boat, and behind him stood a young man with a filial piety. Seeing Sun Shao, the two bowed and saluted: "Young master."
Sun Shao was silent. He supported the bridge and got on the boat. He entered the cabin and said faintly, "Cour the boat and go back to Jianye."
"Oh." The man didn't say a word. He jumped off the boat, untied the cable, and then jumped on the boat again and hung up the sail.
Guan Feng kept looking at the strong man without saying anything. The bridge took a look, which was also a little strange. She stared at his face and looked at him carefully for a while: "A Man, why does this man look a little familiar?"
"His name is Lin Fei, and he was A Weng's scout back then."
"Is it?" The bridge looked at Sun Shao in surprise. When Sun Ce was alive, he took in some fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers. He taught them martial arts, took them to the battlefield, and trained them as future generals. These people were called scouts. Lu Meng, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were all in the Boy Scouts back then. Unfortunately, Sun Shao died too early. This plan was abandoned halfway. Later, Sun Quan took power and took over all the Boy Scouts. Lv Meng and Jiang Qin became generals, and Zhou Tai followed Sun Quan as early as when Sun Ce was still alive. Many people in the Boy Scouts became officers, or served as officers and guards beside Sun Quan.
The bridge doesn't care about Sun Ce. She doesn't know much about the Boy Scouts. She just knows that there are some people, but she doesn't know much except for a few people such as Lv Meng. She had never heard Sun Shao talk about these people. Suddenly, she was a little surprised to see one.
Sun Shao's face was very calm, but there was a trace of rare gloom in his eyebrows: "That teenager's name is Han Long. His father Han Qing was also a boy in those years. He was killed by Gan Ning not long ago."
"Is that the cook?" Guan Feng suddenly interrupted.
Just over a month ago, a big event happened in the camp. Gan Ning had a cook. Gan Ning wanted to kill him, so he ran to Lv Meng's house. Gan Ning and Lv Meng had a very good relationship. Lv Meng's mother, Deng, treated Gan Ning like a relative. After knowing this, he asked Lv Meng to return the cook to Gan Ning. When Gan Ning got to the boat, he personally shot the cook to death with an arrow. Lv Meng was so angry that he was actually ready to send troops to attack Gan Ning. If it hadn't been for Deng's advice, it would have been almost out of control.
Guan Feng heard Sun Shangxiang say this. At that time, she didn't understand why Lv Meng and Gan Ning had such a good relationship and why they almost attacked each other because of a cook. Now after listening to Sun Shao's words, she immediately understood that the cook and Lv Meng still had such a friendship.
"Hmm." Sun Shao raised his face and sighed. The following words are not said. Lin Fei and Han Qing are best friends. Han Qing was killed by Gan Ning. Lin Fei hated Gan Ning to death. At the same time, he also hated Lv Meng for ignoring his feelings in those years. Therefore, he revealed the news to Gan Yu, who was also a Lang official, and provoked Gan Yu to go to Sun Shao to make trouble. He was ready to sue Gan Yu for a charge of leaking secrets, and then found an opportunity to kill him, and even involved in Gan. Ning's body. After Sun Shao knew about it, he suppressed the matter. When Lin Fei saw Sun Shao coming forward, he was reluctant. He knew that he was no longer safe with Sun Quan, so he simply left without saying goodbye.
Seeing Sun Shao's solemn expression, Guan Feng closed her mouth and asked no more questions. Although the bridge was doubtful, it also knew that it was very important, so it also changed the topic and said some gossip. When the boat arrived outside Jianye City, the bridge and others went ashore. Lin Fei took Han Long to bow to Sun Shao and said, "Young master, I will take A Long to avoid the limelight for the time being, and then meet the young master."
"Be careful yourself." Sun Shao asked people to bring ten cakes of gold, but Lin Fei did not refuse. He accepted it calmly, bowed again, turned to the boat, and drifted away.
"This man is very bold and has good skills. How can he be willing to be a man?" Guan Feng walked to Sun Shao and asked softly.
"He, he is thinking about magic. If Han Qing hadn't been killed and stimulated by him this time, he might have gone to practice Taoism or Buddhism." Sun Shao felt a little funny. He turned his head to look at the inexplicable Guan Feng and patted his head: " By the way, you don't know much about therong rong. Go and ask your mother. She knows that when she was in Danyang, therong rong was very happy."
Guan Feng was confused about these. She took a look at the bridge that had already got on the car, and said with some embarrassment, "My mother blames me for letting you in danger. Now she has some opinions about me. Let's tell me when you have time."
"Hee hee, let's wait until we get into the quilt." Sun Shao smiled and said, "I have a lot of research on the Happy Buddha."
Although Guan Feng didn't know where the Happy Buddha was, when he saw Sun Shao's eyes, he knew that it must not be a serious thing. He blushed and gently spun his mouth, turned on the horse. Sun Shao also got on the horse, walked side by side with Guan Feng, and walked to the city.
Hearing that Sun Shao returned to Jianye, Xiaoqiao quickly rushed over with Zhou Yu and Zhou Yin. Hearing the bridge talking about Sun Shao's crossing the river to challenge Zhang Liao, Xiaoqiao was afraid of lingering fear, but Zhou Yin frowned and said to Sun Shao enviously, "Brother, you have become famous this time. Even Jianye know that Jiang There was another little overlord in the east, defeating Zhang Liao, the first brave general of Cao's army. It's a pity that I was not in the camp at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to Gan Yu to show his face. Oh, what a pity."
Looking at Zhou Yin, who was choking and sighing, Sun Shao skipped and didn't say anything. He said to Zhou Yu with a smile, "Oh, my little sister Yuer, why are you so thin? It's so sad to see you. Does your aunt not give you delicious food? Come to your brother's house and make sure that you will be raised in a month.
"Dur, it's not serious." Zhou Yu, with a sharp face, blushed at him and quickly walked to the bridge room. Sun Shao was heartless and wanted to flirt with her again, but he was stopped by Zhou Yin: "Brother, you have to be kind."
"What are you talking about?" Sun Shao didn't know why and pretended to be angry. Zhou Yin was about to say that Zhang Wen came in from the outside and arched his hand with a smile from afar: "The captain returned from victory. Wen greeted me late and forgive me."
Sun Shao smiled and said hello to Zhou Yin. He gave Zhang Wen to the study and sat down. There was no smile on Zhang Wen's face. He turned the teacup in his hand and whispered, "Captain, if you take this step, there is no way back."
Sun Shao looked at Zhang Wen and was suddenly a little disappointed. Zhang Wen is very credited to him to this point now, but now listening to Zhang Wen's tone, it is obvious that Zhang Wen has no intention to continue with him. He thought for a second, and then he was relieved. After all, doing business is a cheap business, and the Zhang family is Wu Zhongshi's family. He himself is the best in Shilin. He has not reached the point of exhaustion, and there is no need to follow him to the dark.
Sun Shao arched his hand and said sincerely, "Thanks to Huishu's strategy this time, Shao thanked me here."
Zhang Wen's mouth slowly smiled. Sun Shao said so, but he did not object to his choice. He was relieved and a little disappointed. If Sun Shao hadn't chosen the futureless road of business, he would have been reluctant to leave Sun Shao. Sun Shao himself is a rare talent. More importantly, Sun Shao trusts him very much, which can be said to be obedient. These days, not only the king chooses the minister, but also the king. It is not easy to find a king like Sun Shao who is willing to decentralize power, but he just doesn't want to be a king, so he can only sigh.
"The captain is going to Houguan to pick up the boat. Why don't you take advantage of my merchant ship?" Zhang Wen took the initiative to say, "One is to get familiar with the sea, and the other is that we may be able to cooperate in the future."
Sun Shaolian nodded repeatedly: "Of course, that's better."
