Chapter 14 Pirates Are Coming

As soon as he heard Sun Shao's voice, Shen Xuan immediately calmed down. He looked at Sun Shao more than a dozen steps away, sneered, and suddenly raised his voice, "Sun Jun, the night is long and I don't want to sleep. Why don't you talk about the boat? Let Shen Xuan also listen to Sun Jun's high opinion."

"Hahaha..." Sun Shao picked up his trousers in the distance. He came out to breathe after charging into the battle, and he was about to go back to the hot quilt. He had no intention to accompany Shen Xuan to chew his tongue. Besides, Shen Xuan's heartless sleep is a bachelor, but he is beautiful. A moment of spring night is worth a lot of money. How can he brag with him in a good time? He turned his head and drilled back into the cabin, then opened the window and shouted, "Brother Shen, what's the use of your words? The Wuwa Hall outside Wu County is standing there. It can be seen everywhere in the people in the mountains. Half of my army of more than 100,000 people in Jiangdong are mountain people. According to you, isn't the supreme leading the beast cannibals? If you make them angry, the world will be in chaos. Although Brother Shen's tongue is wonderful, can he be the sharp blade of 100,000 soldiers?

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Shen Xuan to refute, and pulled up the window with a "pop". Shen Xuan was so angry that he was embarrassed to shout like Sun Shao. Sun Shao could be shameless, but he couldn't take down his face. Besides, Sun Shao's last sentence is very practical. At present, of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangdong, at least half of them are forcibly recruited Shanyue soldiers. Many of these people are mountain people with shibuns, that is, the savages mentioned by Shen Xuan. Although he scolded here twice without causing murisons, he does not take Sun Quan seriously, but he can't say that Sun Quan is not in front of Sun Shao - although However, Sun Shao and Sun Quan did not deal with it, but it did not mean that Sun Shao would tolerate him - Sun Quan was really going to catch fire, and it was possible to destroy his clan. At that time, his father, Shen You, was killed because of him, but now he doesn't want to get into trouble again.

Shen Xuan said that he was good at eloquence, but he was very depressed by Sun Shao. What made him even more depressed was that Sun Shao didn't give him a chance to refute at all. You have a lot of excuses, but you didn't give you a chance to say it. What can you do? This feeling is so aggrieved. Shen Xuan touched the knife ring on his waist, and his face changed several times. If it hadn't been for his good knife, he might not be Sun Shao's opponent. He really wanted to jump on Sun Shao's ship to take him out and scold him.

Zhang Qian saw that Shen Xuan's face was not good, and he was embarrassed to be aggressive again. This was not in line with his belief that he was angry with wealth, and he quickly brought the topic to something else. However, Shen Xuan was angry and was no longer in the mood to chat. After dealing with a few words, he went to rest by himself. Zhang saw it, smiled bitterly, and went back to the cabin.

The moon broke up unhappily.

Sun Shao, the originator, lay in the hot quilt, holding his soft wife and smiling proudly. Guan Feng said with some reproach, "Although Shen Xuan is arrogant, he is a friend of Zhang Wen and a famous talent in Wu Zhong. Even if you don't want to invite him to the curtain, there is no need to be angry with him."

"Madam, you don't know something." Sun Shao stroked Guan Fengsi's slippery back and whispered, "Shen Xuan's father was Shen You, who was called Sanmiao in those years. He was killed by my supreme uncle for a reason that he could not speak for, so that he was arrogant and difficult to control. This boy has been at home for more than ten years, and suddenly appeared at this time. I always feel that it's not as simple as a chance.

"You mean, he approached you on purpose?" Guan Feng was shocked and looked up at Sun Shao worriedly.

"I'm not sure, but it's possible." Sun Shao lowered his head, looked at Guan Feng's worried eyes, and smiled softly. He stretched out a finger and gently put it on Guan Fengying's red lips: "Don't worry, I have my own moderation. If it's a chance encounter, that's all. If he wants to use me to achieve his wish, we will fight to see who took advantage of whom in the end.

After listening to Sun Shao's words, the worry in Guan Feng's eyes not only did not go, but on the contrary, it was heavier. She hesitated for a moment: "Doesn't your husband also mean this?"

"People have no intention to hurt the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's hearts." Sun Shao smiled calmly and was full of self-confidence: "Madam is familiar with the military book, don't you hear 'I don't attack the enemy, I can't attack'?"

"But..." Guan Feng pushed away the brocade and sat up. **'s body flashed with a soft light in the dark, and a pair of straight crisp peaks trembled. She frowned: "Although the supreme let you go into business, how can he not pay attention to you? If you recruit, if he knows, how can he give you a big chance?

"Don't worry about this." Sun Shao stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms. "I don't plan to confront him head-on for the time being. I don't need so many people. Thousands of troops are easy to get, and a general is hard to find. What I want to take now is not soldiers, but generals who can be generals. Madam, how many of your two hundred guards are talented?

Guan Feng breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "These people are good at martial arts, but they have too little reading and literacy, and few of them have learned the art of war. Let them lead the team and charge into battle, which will also make it difficult for them to lead thousands of people."

"That's it." Sun Shao meditated for a moment and said with a smile, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I don't know how to write. I can learn. I don't know how to do military arts, and I can also teach. Besides, soldiers are trained, not read. Wait for me to find an island and practice them well. If I can train ten thousand generals out of 200 people, I will have 10,000 elite soldiers. With 10,000 elite soldiers, whoever wants to touch me has to think about it.

Guan Feng was relieved to see that Sun Shao was confident. Sun Shao is right. There are really 10,000 elite soldiers. Then he dares not say that he is invincible in Jiangdong, but it is certainly not so easy for Sun Quan to move him. You know that now the heavy generals such as Lv Meng and Lu Su are not directly controlled by about 10,000 people. This time, Sun Quan gathered only 70,000 horses to attack against Cao Jian.

What makes her happier is that Sun Shao intends to take these people she brought as her team, which shows that her position in Sun Shao's heart is absolutely unique. Otherwise, Sun Shao could not be on guard against her. Thinking of this, Guan Feng was so sweet that she couldn't help hugging Sun Shao's neck and kissing him hard. Sun Shao refused to let go easily, and then the two hugged each other again, and the spring breeze was twice.

In the next few days, Sun Shao still asked Zhang Qian for business-related matters most of the time, and did not talk much with Shen Xuan. Although Shen Xuan has always wanted to argue with Sun Shao, Sun Shao should not fight, and it is not easy for him to force himself to stand up, so he has to listen quietly. As time went by, the two gradually became familiar with each other and said more, but they were more polite and not very familiar.

After Jingkou, the river suddenly widened. After the last stop in Wujin to replenish food, the fleet basically stopped resting on the shore, full of sails, and kept moving east and south at night. At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the southeast wind has not yet blown, and it is convenient to have a smooth journey.

Since Sun Shao had the intention to train soldiers, Guan Feng fell in love with it. Next time, he drew up a list for Sun Shao to tell him who were available and what their strengths and weaknesses were. Sun Shao remembered it in his heart. After observing carefully for two days, he found a time to call 13 of them to his ship.

Thirteen men stood in front of Sun Shao, one by one who was a little nervous and excited. They looked at Sun Shao with a little admiration, which was far from the previous look of respect with a little disdain. In the past, they were polite to Sun Shao because he was the uncle of the Guan family. In any case, they could not embarrass Guan Feng, but now it is not the case. Zhang Liao was a fierce man who even looked high at the old lord Guan Yu, but he was selected by his uncle alone. This force alone was enough to make them fall in love.

They don't have too many ideas. Literary talent and so on are all unreliable things. This is chaotic, and force is the most important thing. For them, strong force is far more attractive than literary talent.

"I have money now, so it's inevitable that there will be blind thieves staring at me. For the sake of safety, I want to find some hard-handed and live-eyed guards." Sun Shao was not out of shape. He looked at the more than a dozen men standing straight in front of him, half leaning on him, picking his teeth, and said, "Madam said that you guys are good, so I'll look for you."

When those people heard this, they immediately tightened their faces and looked more solemn. However, in front of Sun Shao, who stood without standing, they always looked a little funny.

"Of course I believe your words, madam." Sun Shao smiled at Guan Feng and said, "However, with my clumsy eyes, I think you seem to be almost the same. You can't tell the top and the bottom. It's really not easy to pick two from you to be the team leader. Well, it doesn't matter if I can't compete with each other, but I can race horses. Since you are all Qianliju, from now on, you will take turns to do the team leader every ten days, just two months and ten years later. Two months later, the best comprehensive results in the competition and thesis are the team leader.

He turned around and pointed to Shuai Zeng, who had been standing behind him: "You also participate."

"Me?" Shuai Zeng was looking at it interesting. Unexpectedly, he suddenly pointed to his head. He was immediately shocked. He pointed to his nose, widened his eyes, and then shook his head like a rattle drum: "No, no, my martial arts skills are too bad. How can I follow them..."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Sun Shao suddenly lowered his face, "You have been practicing hard for half a year. Don't you think it's a pity to give up if you don't try?"

"Me?" Shuai Zeng blushed and was a little embarrassed. In the past, he had been bullied by Dunwu and others. He was really angry, so he secretly began to practice martial arts. Every time Sun Shao practiced martial arts, he looked at it carefully, and then found another opportunity to practice hard. In the past six months, his martial arts skills have made great progress, but he is really not confident to compare with these tough men of the Guan family. It's okay if you lose. You can humiliate the young master, but you can't.

"Don't be afraid, I have confidence in you." Sun Shao relaxed his face again, patted Shuai Zeng's shoulder, and pinched the muscles on his shoulder with his hand: "As long as you work hard, even if you fail in the end, I won't blame you, and you won't leave any regrets in the future."

Seeing that Sun Shao was cautious, he did not insist. He nodded and said, "Since the young master said so, I will try it."

"It should be so." Sun Shao turned around and looked at the thirteen men with different looks. Seeing that they were a little hesitant and seemed to be embarrassed, he smiled and said, "If you have any questions, you can mention them now."

"Less...Young master." A young man standing on the periphery said nervously, "Young master, being a personal guard, good martial arts skills, eye work, these are all needed. Guan Gong also asked us to do so in those years, but why do you want to study?"

Sun Shao glanced at the young man with a medium figure and two gods in his eyes and smiled, "Your name is Zhao Xiu, which makes a good pair of knives?"

Zhao Xiu's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, the young master, who usually seemed to be indifferent, still knew himself and nodded reservedly.

"Let you study, not let you be a doctor." Sun Shao sat down again, tapping his fingers gently on the desk, and Du Du's voice brought some strange rhythms. Although it was single, it was not monotonous. There was a faint meaning of the golden drum, which made people involuntarily excited and inexplicably, as if they were in the battlefield of the golden drum. If you don't study and don't know the past and modern things, how can you do great things? My father-in-law, don't your lord also study every day?

Everyone looked at each other and was a little strange. Although Sun Shao didn't say anything more, they all heard another meaning. If you want to do something big, what can you do? Rebellation? Although this thing sounds terrible, for people like them, it seems that the beast smells blood, which is naturally a little restless.

"Read well." Sun Shao looked up at Guan Xiaoqing and Qiao Yue next to him: "You two are responsible for teaching them to read. Don't do too much. Just read and write both the Analects."

"Can you read and write?" Guan Xiaoqing took a look at Zhao Xiu and others with a difficult face and laughed, "Young master, you think they are all the same as you. It's really embarrassing for them to let them read and write the Analects in two months."

"Don't you believe it?" Sun Shao raised his eyebrows.

"I don't believe it." Guan Xiaoqing curled his lips and looked disapproving. Not only her, but also Zhao Xiu and others felt that the requirements were too high. It was ridiculous to read so many books in more than two months.

Sun Shao touched his nose and smiled. He stood up, walked behind Guan Xiaoqing and Qiao Yue, pushed a man's back with one hand, and pushed them to Zhao Xiu and others: "Xiao Qing is the closest person to his wife. Xiao Yue'er said that she was my maid, but in fact, she was almost the same as my sister. I know that many of you are jealous, but you don't have the courage. I gave them a chance today. If they can read and write the Analects in two months, they can pursue them. As long as you have the ability to coax them willingly, I will not interfere and offer a dowry at the same time.

As soon as this came out, Guan Xiaoqing and Qiao Yue suddenly blushed, and the eyes of those men couldn't help but light up.

"If you don't want to read yet, you can quit now." Sun Shao clapped his hands and said lightly, "I don't have to waste my pen and ink. Although I have money, I can't ruin it like this. You say so."

Guan Xiaoqing looked at Guan Feng with a stab: "Husband...madam, say something."

"What did I say?" Guan Feng smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to. The young master asked Mrs. Sun for ten female guards for me, and then pick out one of them."

"No... that's not what I mean." Guan Xiaoqing shook his head quickly, and then his face turned red again. Just kidding, even if she doesn't hate Sun Shao now, it's better to be a concubine than a wife. Besides, Sun Shao had something to say first, not to send her out. Whether it is successful or not, the initiative is still in their own hands. Their identities are either nameless concubines or given as gifts. There are too few opportunities to choose their own son-in-law like this.

"Okay, let's break up." Sun Shao waved his hand and drove out a group of bright-eyed perverts. Shuai Zeng looked at Sun Shao with a shy face and said flatteringly, "Young master, I... I also have a chance, right?"

"Of course you have a chance." Sun Shao glanced at him and reached out to pick up the teacup on the case. Shuai Zeng quickly grabbed the teapot and poured tea for him. He smiled and said, "So... Can the young master give me two tricks? Otherwise, if you lose at that time, you won't lose the young master?"

Sun Shao sip the tea and said with a bad smile, "I think you think Xiao Yueer's mind is not a day or two, right?"

"Hey hey hey, my fair lady, a gentleman is so good. Doesn't the young master often teach us like this?" Shuai Zeng rubbed his hands and looked at Sun Shao enthusiastically. Sun Shao nodded: "It's good that you have this kind of heart. Tell me, how can I point you out?"

"This..." Shuai Zeng was a little excited and a little incoherent. He blushed and said for a long time, "I'm just weak."

"It's easy to do with little strength." Sun Shaoshao waved his hand and motioned Shuai Zeng to come over. Shuai Zeng hurriedly came to him. Sun Shao said a few words softly, and Shuai Zeng's eyebrows suddenly danced: "Really?"

"Can I lie to you?" Sun Shao is angry and funny. Shuai Zeng shook his head quickly, blinked his eyes, and left with a smile.

"Young master, how can you do this?" Qiao Yue pouted and came over with a red face. Ai Ai said, "I'm only fourteen years old, and I don't want to get married."

"Silly girl, what's wrong with fourteen?" Sun Shao pulled Qiao Yue to her side and motioned her to sit down: "There are too many people who are married on the fourteenth. Besides, if you don't want to, who dares to force you? You are a tender fruit I hang out. ** These monkeys study hard. He lowered his voice and said with a bad smile, "Besides, you're not in a hurry, but someone is in a hurry. If you don't accompany her, wouldn't she be more embarrassed to be alone? Well, what do you think, Xiao Yue'er?

Qiao Yue was relieved, smiled, and smiled secretly as if she had done a prank before.

With this order, the atmosphere of the team suddenly changed. In the past, when they were not worth it, these people were either gambling or bragging, or sleeping, but now they have changed. They either practice martial arts or pestering Guan Xiaoqing and Qiao Yue to pay attention. It's really hard to pick up the pen with their hands that are used to knives. They often sweat, and their words are still written crookedly, which is very difficult. Xiaoqing and Qiao Yue kept giggling.

Shen Xuan and Zhang Qian quickly noticed the abnormality of Sun Shao's men. Although Shen Xuan did not change his impression of Sun Shao, he showed the generousness of a scholar to these learned men. He not only instructed them to read, but also competed with them in martial arts. He is good at learning and eloquent. Many of the truths that Qiao Yue and Guan Xiaoqing can't explain, but he is clear at all, easy to understand and easy to remember. Zhao Xiu first found this good teacher. Every day, he held the wine and meat to Shen Xuan for advice. After a short time, Shen Xuan became a Xixi who did not take money, more like a teacher than the two of Qiaoguan.

Sun Shao saw it and didn't say anything. Some people were willing to teach these subordinates for him, but he did not object. From Zhao Xiu and others, he also knew more information about Shen Xuan. In addition to being a little extreme in surname, this person is also a very excellent person in general. His talent and martial arts are first-class, and he also has a lot of research on the art of war. More importantly, he does not reject these men who lick blood with knives, which is somewhat similar to Guan Yu. Thinking of his father's death when he was young, Sun Shao can also understand his surname. What's more, the culprit is not uncle Sun Quan. Your family killed his father, and now it's not too much to be blinded.

With this idea, Sun Shao's perception of Shen Xuan was better, and he expressed his goodwill to him intentionally or unintentionally. Shen Xuan didn't miss the opportunity this time. He was no longer the appearance of the cold deputy Langjun, and the two gradually became familiar with each other. The journey is lonely. The two are of the same age and have similar interests, which is very talkable. Of course, they will not mention some ** topics. Even if they mention them occasionally, they will avoid them tacitly.

More than ten days later, the ship crossed the sea salt, and the sea in front of him gradually widened. It was rare to see a few ships on the sea that could not be seen at a glance. And the shore on the right side gradually faded away, becoming a faint black line between Tianshui.

"Young master, we are now crossing the sea." When Zhang Qian saw that Sun Shao was looking fresh, he smiled and said, "From here to the west, it is the sea road to Qian Tang, to Danyang and Poyang to do business, and there are also people who walk directly from here to the Jianjiang River (now Zhejiang)."

"What's over there?" Sun Shao pointed to the faint black spots on the sea level in the southeast and asked.

"There, hey hey, it's not a good place to go." Zhang Qian smiled bitterly and suddenly stopped the topic. He put his hand on his eyebrows and stood on tiptoe to look into the distance. After a while, he hurriedly called a person and asked him to climb to the mast to have a look. The man looked at it and made a few gestures. Zhang Qian's face was cold and suddenly shouted sharply: "Come on, immediately surround the boat, pirate. Here we go.

"Pirates?" Sun Shao was shocked. This is still within the scope of Wu County, not far from Wu County. Why are there pirates?

"That kind of sail is the symbol of pirates." Shen Xuan put his hands behind his back and calmly pointed to a small boat that was rushing in the distance and said, "This is a waiting ship to inquire about the news. As long as you see this kind of ship, pirates will appear within ten miles."

"In this broad daylight, do pirates dare to rob openly?" Sun Shao motioned Guan Feng to prepare to fight, and sneered, "Is there really no king's law?"

"King's Law? Do you mean the king of the Han Dynasty, or something else? Shen Xuan sneered back: "The jackal is in charge and ask the fox. These people are just grabbing some property to make a living. They are not extremely vicious. As long as the ships in the past cooperate, killing and robbing goods are still rare. Compared with those officials who knock the bones and suck the marrow, they are also theft.

Sun Shao burst into laughter. He touched his chin and looked at Shen Xuan, who was a little excited. It was not until Shen Xuan realized that he had made a mistake, that he smiled and said, "Brother Shen really knows them well about them, can it be..."
