Chapter 27 Shi Xie

"I can't install it." Ge Heng had no room for discussion at all, and his head shook like a rattle: "In order to move quickly, warships generally do not leave any space. Even medium warships can't have a place to load Thunderbolts. Even if they are barely loaded, no one comes to do it, and the carrying gun stones is limited, and the accuracy is not enough. I'm afraid that if I go to sea, it won't have any effect except for a few splashes.

Sun Shao was very disappointed and asked without give up, "There's nothing I can do?"

"No." Ge Heng said affirmatively, "If you want to load a Thunderbolt car and bring enough gun stones, only a large warship is suitable, preferably a building ship."

Sun Shao's eyes turned over, and I asked Bu Qian for ten medium-sized warships. Do you still want to go to the building? He calmed down and thought about it. A medium-sized warship was seven or eight feet long, three or four feet wide, carrying sixty or seventy people, including mainly oarsmen. There were only a maximum of a dozen people who really fought with weapons. It was not that he didn't want to bring more people. There was really no space and the load was not enough. It is really unlikely to make room for the Thunderbolt.

"Can you pretend to be a crossbow? Four stones or five stone crossbows, the space is much smaller, the accuracy is also high, and you can also carry more arrows. Sun Shao changed his mind, "No matter how arrogant the pirates are, they will not have a strong crossbow. It is a sharp weapon controlled by the government."

"This is okay, but..." Ge Heng shook his head with some embarrassment: "Even if it is equipped with a strong crossbow, it will not have much effect. The strong crossbow has a long range, but it needs a lot of manpower and is slow. I'm afraid it can't shoot a few arrows, and the other party will rush in front of you. How can you deal with it when the pirates rush up? After all, only these dozen boats can't be a big deal.

Sun Shao frowned, gently tapped on a few cases, and pondered for a moment, "Then you try to install one first. I'll find a way to get a boat. The living can't be suffocated by urine."

Ge Heng didn't think too much. For him, only making a boat is the most interesting thing. Leave other troubles to Sun Shao. He believes that he has a way to solve them.

Shiwei waited for a few days. Sun Shao only sent one person to take away the five ships, and he never showed up again. Later, it took money to know that Sun Shao asked for a ship order from Bu Qian and repaired the ship in the shipyard, and Bu Qian allocated ten boats from his own hands to Sun Shao. Shi Wei listened and sneered. Since Bu Qian supported Sun Shao, it was more interesting to humiliate Sun Shao and even hit Bu Qian's face by the way. Shiwei was very looking forward to it. He sent people to urge Sun Shao to go to sea to find thieves, but Sun Shao always sent someone to answer that he was repairing the ship and went to sea as soon as it was repaired. Shiwei was helpless and not easy to be too obvious, so he had to press the surname and so on.

For more than a month, Sun Shao never showed up again.

General Zuo and Jiaolan Taishou Shi Xie are 81 years old, and their eyebrows are all white. It can be said that they are delicious to eat. Their bodies are very good. Although their faces are full of old people's spots, their faces are full of red light, and they look quite energetic. He doesn't need to do anything now. The seal of Jiaotong Taishou was thrown to his eldest son Shihui. He played with his grandchildren every day. He read the Spring and Autumn Period in his spare time, and said that his son was free and comfortable. The Shi family has been operating in Jiaozhou for nearly 30 years, and the foundation is very imaginable. Although Sun Quan sent Bu Qian, Bu Qian did not dare to do anything about him. In name, Bu Qian is the governor of Jiaozhou, but the power of Jiaozhou is still in the hands of Shi Xie. What he wants to do is to send someone to Sun Quan to send some local specialties every year, and then In exchange for a generous reward - this is much more than business insurance.

Living to the age of Shi Xie, he has long seen through the relationship between fame and reality. What do with those false names? The most important thing is to master the real power. The rest is the same as the floating clouds in the sky.

When he got up in the morning, the sun was not very hot. Shi Xie lay down in the shade of the tree early. Two Dou Kou's young girls beat his legs, and another girl with a beautiful voice like jade read the scriptures to him. At his age, some of his function deteriorated. His hobbies for women's sex were limited to color and The sound.

"In the spring of seven years, Deng Hou came to the court. Name, cheap. . Xia, Meng, seek success in Zheng, and recite it..."

"Father!" Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the crisp sound of reading. Shi Xie's snow-white eyebrows frowned, but he did not open his eyes. He just said impatiently, "What's the matter? It's a fuss. He's almost sixty years old, and he's not calm at all."

Shi Hui was used to being scolded by him and did not refute. He waved his hand to the three young girls and asked them to retreat first. Then he came to Shi Xie's side and whispered, "Father, Sun Shao is here."

"Sun... Shao?" Shi Xie's eyebrows trembled, and he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were like electricity: "Which Sun Shao (Shao), is Sun Changxu (Sun Shao) or Sun Gongli (Sun Shao)?"

Sun Shao is the long history of the cavalry general. Sun Shao is a partial general. He is a prince with heavy soldiers in his hand. He is a general in Guangling. Shi Xie hesitated for a moment and still thought that it should be Sun Shao. Why did he suddenly come here?

Shi Hui shook his head and said, "No, it's Sun Ce's descendant Shao, Sun Fengxian."

"He?" Shi Xie breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes again. After a while, he asked lightly, "What is he doing here?"

Shi Hui had expected Shi Xie's reaction for a long time, and he continued to say, "He is now General Henghai, leading the governor of the South China Sea."

Shi Xie's eyes immediately opened and looked at the sky, which was covered by the thick shade of trees, and there were only fine light spots. After a long time, he exhaled: "Help me up, invite him to the hall, and let me change my clothes before I go to see him."

"Oh." Shi Hui helped Shi Xie up and handed it to the maid who rushed over. Then he looked at the palm of his hand. His palm was wet. He felt very strange. The last time he saw Shi Xie so nervous, and when he heard Bu Qian as the governor of Jiaozhou, would it be so serious this time? After thinking about it, he immediately walked out of the backyard and rushed to the front hall. He smiled kindly at Sun Shao with a smile: "General, please come in. My father is changing his clothes, and he will come out to see the general immediately."

Sun Shao laughed and nodded secretly. The old guy was still very careful. He suddenly knew his intention and knew the key points. He nodded and didn't say much. He slowly walked into Taishou's mansion, looked at the decoration next to him, and praised: "It's been so long since I've been in Jiaozhou, and it's still your mansion that it's elegant and beautiful. It's really poetry and calligraphy to nourish your spirit."

Shi Hui smiled faintly: "The general is too much. He is contemptuous, and the barbaric spirit is very serious. How can he talk about elegance?"

"Hehe, the scholar is modest. Your father-in-law studied the spring and autumn, and my teacher, Mr. Zhang, also admired him very much. Last time he drank with Mr. Cao in Cao's camp. Mr. Cao also talked about your father-in-law, saying that Yuan Hui of the State of Chen respected your father-in-law in those years, and he still can't forget it. Although Jiaotong is a barbarian, there is a erudite Confucian like your father. He has taught his words and deeds for 30 years, and he also has the atmosphere of Han people. At that time, the teacher also said that he could teach Yidi, but it was a pity that he was stopped by Zilu. It was still a great sage like Ling Zun who really did this. You can compare with Zixia of the West River and Yang Gong of Kansai.

Shi Hui listened and quickly bowed and saluted: "Sun Jun's words are heavy, how dare my father be such a big name?" He said he didn't dare, but there was a proud smile on his face. Sun Shao was so polite that he compared his father to Confucius, which showed that he was still clear about the strength of the scholar's family. There should be no malice in coming to the door this time.

"The general is the new commander of the South China Sea, and he is also the general of Henghai. He is responsible for the safety of the South China Sea and has busy official duties. Why do you have time here?" Shi Hui quietly reminded him. According to the Han system, Sun Shao, as the governor of the South China Sea, can't cross the border to Jiaotong. Of course, he has the identity of a general of Henghai, and Jiaotong's bay is also within his jurisdiction. If he wants to come, you can't say that he is not in compliance with the rules. But it is still necessary to ask about the intention and find out his mouth.

Sun Shao just smiled and said, "I heard that your father's explanation of Zuo Chuan Chunqiu is quite insightful and profound. Shao Bucai read the scriptures with Zhang Gong. He is only shallow in intelligence and vulgar. He can't be taught by Zhang Gong's side often. Fortunately, there are scholars here, so he dares to ask for advice.

Shi Hui frowned. Seeing that Sun Shao refused to say anything, he had to put down the topic first. The two talked about something else and waited for his father to meet him later. The two of them gossiped and drank several cups of tea. Shi Xie came out of the back hall. As soon as he appeared, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know that the general is here. Shi Xie can't welcome him far away. Please forgive me." With that, he was about to come forward to salute.

Sun Shao quickly got up, held the bluffing Shi Xie with both hands, and said with a smile, "Shi Gong, how can I afford this worship?"

Shi Xie looked very persistent: "Although Xie is a few years old, he is a heavy general. How can he pay a lot of gifts with his teeth?"

Sun Shao shook his head repeatedly: "Shi Gong, my big man governs the world with filial piety. More than 70 officials do not worship. The public has been 80 years old this year. Even if the supreme comes, he does not dare to accept the public's great courtesy. What's more, although Sun Shao is a Henghai general, he is a false name. His men are only a dozen boats and more than a thousand fishing soldiers. How can he be the public? Courtesy? Please sit down and be worshipped by the boy.

With that, he helped Shi Xie to the upper seat, and he respectfully saw his nephew in worship. Shi Xie narrowed his old eyes and looked at Sun Shao, and the smile at the corners of his mouth flashed. He sighed and helped Sun Shao up: "Only a virtuous Chunqiu master like Zhang Gong can teach such talents as the general. It's the luck of Zhang Gong. The old man is really envious.

"The scholar praised it, and the boy is ashamed to be." Sun Shao smiled modestly.

The two praised each other. Sun Shao took the initiative to ask him for some scriptures. Shi Xie did have an in-depth study of Zuo Chuan Chunqiu, and his level is no worse than that of Zhang Zhao. For Sun Shao, who has only learned for only a few months, of course, it is more than a little more than a star. What surprised Shi Xie was not Sun Shao's level, but that his familiarity with the scriptures was a little strange. Most of the scriptures could be used by hand and confirm each other. In this case alone, it was almost similar to himself who had been immersed in silver in Zuo Chuan Chunqiu for a lifetime.

Shi Xie couldn't help looking at Sun Shao with new eyes.

What makes Shi Xie more happy is that Sun Shao is generous. Although he is talking about the scriptures from time to time, he can insert a harmless joke or two from time to time. He just makes a joke and adjusts the atmosphere, and he is very good at association. From this to this, his thinking jumps, but it is logical. It is really a good companion for the elderly. Shi Xie, who felt quite lonely, was very happy.

The old man and the young talk happily with each other, and there is a lot of laughter in the hall. Shi Hui listened aside, but he couldn't help but have some doubts. They said that it was nothing more than scriptures, and there were some interesting things in ancient and modern times, but nothing else was involved at all. Did Sun Shao come all the way to have fun with me? Please teach me?

Shi Hui was full of questions, but there was no place to ask. Until Sun Shao left, Shi Hui did not hear about the famous hall inside.

"Didn't you figure it out?" When Shi Xie lay in the shade of the backyard again, there was no smile on his face for a long time, but there was a little more worry and disappointment in his eyes when he looked at Shi Hui.

Shi Hui is used to his father's eyes. He sat beside Shi Xie with a blank face and listened to Shi Xie's teachings. Anyway, no matter how smart he is, I will not recognize him. It's better to listen honestly. What's more, he really didn't understand what happened these days.

"Do you know why Cao Zhen named him Jiaozhou Mu, General Henghai?"

"What else can I do? It's disgusting, Sun Quan." Shi Hui tilted the corners of his mouth and smiled disdainfully: "Anyway, Jiaozhou is not his. He just needs to take out a gold seal. If Sun Quan doesn't give it, Sun Shao will hate him. If Sun Quan gives it, he will no longer be able to control Jiaozhou in the future. Moreover, once Sun Shao is powerful, the uncles and nephews of the Sun family will inevitably fight for power. Cao Jianjin can take advantage of the gap and retreat can sit and watch the success or failure.

"You're right." Shi Xie nodded, and his neatly combed hair shone with wisdom under a ray of sunshine. Then let's talk about it again, why did Sun Quan know that this was Cao's alienation plan, but let Sun Shao be the general of Henghai, and gave him only five boats, three hundred old and weak?

Shi Hui just wanted to laugh, but as soon as he saw Shi Xie's cold eyes, he quickly put away his newly blooming smile. He hesitated for a moment and suddenly felt a little palpitated: "Sun Quan, like Cao Yan, do you want to kill someone with a knife?"

"Yes." Shi Xie nodded and sneered: "He wants to use Sun Shao's knife to try the depth of our Shi's family and insert a bar in the sailors who have been unable to open the situation."

"It's not so easy." Shi Hui grinned and wanted to laugh, but he didn't smile. Instead, he felt chilly: "Father, if Sun Shao dies, won't our Shi family be unlucky?"

"The Shi family will not be completely implicated for the time being, but I'm afraid that Shiwei will be unlucky. Jiaozhou sailor will no longer be a scholar." Shi Xie narrowed his eyes and said, "Why is Shiwei still so ignorant that he can't even see this? Fortunately, Sun Shao is a smart person. If he is as reckless as him and hurried into the sea, I'm afraid that things will be out of control. At that time, we removed the thorn in our side for Sun Quan. Not only would he not appreciate us, but he would bite us in turn.

Shi Hui took a breath of cold air and sweated coldly.

"Go, let the soldiers go to the South China Sea." Shi Xie closed his eyes again, "Sun Shao can be defeated, but he can't die. If Sun Shao dies, all the responsibility will be borne by Shiwei. Don't blame me for being an uncle's affectionate at that time."

"Oh." Shi Hui did not dare to neglect, carefully covered Shi Xie with a thin blanket, and then hurried out.

When Shi Wei saw Shi Gan, he was shocked: "Did Sun Shao run to see his uncle?"

"Yes." Shi Gan nodded with a pale face: "My father has some different opinions on my brother's treatment. He specially sent me to remind my brother so that my brother won't be annikated by others."

Shi Wei's forehead and blue veins jumped straight. He was very clear about the meaning behind Shi Gan's words. He could not take Bu Qian seriously, and he could not take Sun Shao seriously, but he absolutely did not dare to make Shi Xie unhappy. Although he was so old as if a gust of wind could blow away, he rarely appeared at ordinary times, but he only had a cough. Everyone in the Shi family has to shudder, and if he stamp his feet, the whole Jiaozhou will have to walk three feet. Although he can walk across the sailor in Jiaozhou, but Shi Xie is a bamboo charm, and he will not be right away. He even suspected that he was carrying this bamboo charm in Shi Gan's arms.

"Yuan Chang (Shi Gan), you have worked hard." Shiwei laughed unnaturally, invited Shi Gan to the inner room, let people have tea, and said politely, "What's your instructions, uncle? Can't you hand over the sailor to that vertical?

"Of course you can't do this." Shi Gan took a sip of tea and gently put it back on the case: "The sailor is yours. It's from our Shi's family. Others can't rob it, whether his surname is Sun or Bu."

Shiwei's heart trembled and he didn't dare to squeak.

"My father said that Sun Shao can be defeated, but he can't die." Shi Gan looked at Shi Wei calmly, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "If you can get along well with him, let go of him and let him strengthen his strength. Let's see what Bu Qian does. If you are worried, let him lose a few battles and leave the sailor. However, you must ensure his safety.

"How can I guarantee his safety when there is a war?" Shiwei automatically ignored the option of getting along well with Sun Shao and directly chose the latter one. In his opinion, Sun Shao jumped out halfway and snatched the South China Sea Taishou who belonged to him. It would be polite if he didn't kill Sun Shao with his own hands. Do you still get along well?

Shi Gan squirmed his lips, spit out a piece of ginger, lowered his eyelids, drank two more sips of tea, and then said, "That's your business. I don't care. In a word, if Sun Shao dies, Sun Quan will blame him, and all the responsibilities will be borne by you.

Shiwei's face suddenly sank. He squinted his eyes and looked at everything. He hung high, jumped his eyelids twice, and said with a forced smile, "I know. Please ask Yuanchang to go back to report to his uncle. Please rest assured that I will follow his instructions and deal with it carefully, and never bring trouble to the Shi family."

Shi Gan picked up the corners of his mouth: "I won't go back. I'll stay in the South China Sea for a while."

Shi Wei stared at Shi Gan's smiling face and suddenly understood that Shi Gan came this time to see his jokes. If he is in danger of being seized of power by Sun Shao, then the sergeant will fight in front of Sun Quan. If he accidentally messes things up, the sergeant will throw him out to atone for the crime and take over the sailor. Anyway, what is unlucky is his Shiwei, and the sailor is still a scholar's family, but this sergeant has nothing to do with his Shiwei.
