The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 50 Powerful, Safer

Lv Fan was still waiting for the news of Sun Shao's request for help in Haiyan, but he didn't expect to receive Sun Shao's good news. Sun Shao sent people to persuade Su's thick legs to surrender. All of a sudden, there were 500 more ships, nearly 10,000 people, and took this as the foundation to sweep the East China Sea with the two parts of Yuehai and Su's thick legs. In half a month, he killed the pirates with some strength in the East China Sea. The pirates who had been in chaos for nearly half a year announced their pacity.

Lv Fan is an old Jianghu. Of course, he can see that there are ghosts in it, but he has no evidence to prove that Sun Shao and Su's thick legs are in collusion. And he understood that if Sun Shaozhen colluded with Su's thick legs, he would not be able to touch Sun Shao. As soon as Sun Shao left, Su's thick legs would definitely rebel again. Whoever took over Sun Shao's would be unlucky.

Lv Fan didn't want to go through this muddy water. This is the matter of Sun's uncle and nephew, which has nothing to do with him. Besides, he and Sun Ce still have some feelings. He didn't want to watch Sun Shao because he was killed by Sun Quan, so he pretended not to know and transferred Sun Shao's good news to Sun Quan. At the same time, he revealed in the book that some people suspected that Sun Shao and Su were rude. There is collusion in the legs, but there is no evidence. It may be jealousy.

Sun Quan received Lv Fan's report and did not react unexpectedly. He ordered Sun Shao to be transferred to General Fubo, Su's thick leg to be the general of Henghai Zhonglang, and General Yuehai was guilty. He was the general of Zhenhai Zhonglang to kill the enemy and was promoted to lieutenant of Weihai. They listened to the order together under Sun Shao's account. At the same time, he ordered Sun Shao to escort the merchant ships that had been waiting for a long time and go straight to Jiaozhou to assist the governor of Jiaozhou to calm down the pirates in the South China Sea.

The news was brought by Zhang Zhao, the former military general and the new governor of the South China Sea.

Sun Shao was full of doubts. He felt that Sun Quan would give him some ups and downs this time. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan seemed to have changed his surname this time. There was no means at all, so he directly asked him to go to Jiaozhou to counter the rebellion. Doesn't he feel that there are too many people in his hand? 15,000 sailors, the first part of the whole Jiangdong.

"Someone has reminded me." Facing Sun Shao's question, Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "But no one dares to take your position."

Sun Shaole, everyone is smart, and they know that this is a hot potato - well, it seems that there is no potato yet.

"What should I do when I arrive in the South China Sea?" As soon as Zhang Zhao entered the cabin, he was directly concerned about his own government affairs, and he was not polite to a good student like Sun Shao. He brought his own matter to the case first. He listened to Sun Shao's suggestion this time and took the initiative to go to the South China Sea. It was probably that Sun Quan felt that the farther he went, the better, and simply let him be too guarded by the South China Sea. Zhang Zhao was angry. The more he wanted to do things well, the more he let Sun Quan see if he was old.

"If you have a teacher, of course, control Shi Xie first." Sun Shao ordered people to have tea and said, "If we control Shi Xie, we can put aside the sailors under the control of the Shi family and fight with Cui Qian alone. I have 15,000 people on hand now, which is twice his strength. Can't I deal with him? He calmed down Cui Qian and fully controlled the Jiaozhou sailors. When more than 10,000 elites went to the South China Sea, I didn't believe that Shi Xie could still be so stable. At that time, let him spit out at least two of the four counties of Jiaotong, Jiuzhen, Hepu and Yunan. Maybe he will be stripped naked. This Jiaozhou is really the supreme Jiaozhou.

Sun Shao said at the end, clenched his fist, as if he had clenched Shi Xie in the palm of his hand.

Zhang Zhao drank tea, nodded, paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Sun Shao, who was talking happily, was stunned for a moment: "Me?"

"Yes, what are you going to do after calming down Jiaozhou?" Zhang Zhao seemed to say casually, but his eyes stared at Sun Shao's eyes and did not move. Zhang Xiu, who sat beside him without saying a word, picked up the teapot at the right time and gave Sun Shao a little water. Sun Shao quickly thanked him. Taking advantage of the time to drink tea, he quickly figure out Zhang Zhao's meaning, and asked in turn, "What do you think I should do?"

Zhang Zhao took a sip of tea and asked slowly, "Have you ever written an essay on the southbound?"

Sun Shao was really stunned this time. He wrote a good essay about Nanxing, but it was a personal item. It can be said that it was a work in the room. There is no publicity and publication these days. How could Zhang Zhao know?

"Don't ask me how I know, right?" Zhang Zhao saw Sun Shao's question and dispelled Sun Shao's attempt to ask in advance.

"Yes." Sun Shao put down the teacup and nodded slowly. Although his face was still very calm, he was very unhappy. Damn it, I'm working hard for your family's affairs. Are you so worried that I'm dragging you down?

Zhang Zhao is old and refined. Of course, he can see the unhappiness hidden in Sun Shao's calm mood, but he is still so calm and stable that he doesn't mean to comfort him at all: "Do you really want to verify the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Sun Shao stopped talking. He picked up the teacup and took two bites, picked up the teapot to refill some water for himself, and then gave Zhang Zhao a little more. Then he smiled calmly: "Thank you very much for Zhang's concern."

"I heard that there are immortals overseas? Do you want to find a fairy? Zhang Zhao's eyelids drooped and he continued to ask without looking at Sun Shao's eyes. Sun Shao was really going to be angry, and his breath became thick. Just as he was about to refute a few words, Yu Fan came in from the outside. He glanced at Zhao and curled his lips: "Can the dead also know immortals? General, all the guests have arrived. Please take a seat.

This sentence is like a drop of water falling into the oil pan. Zhang Zhao, who was originally as stable as Mount Tai, suddenly exploded. He glared at Yu Fan and shouted, "Yu Fan, you are so presumptuous."

"Yo, isn't this Mr. Zhang?" Yu Fan looked like he had just discovered it and looked at Zhang Zhao exaggeratedly: "I was silent just now. I thought it was a dead man. It turned out to be the most outspoken Zhang. Why did the supreme open the door of your house, or did you get out of it yourself?

Zhang Zhaode is highly expected. Although the power is not as good as before, this status is there. No matter who is there, he will give him three parts of face. On the one hand, he is not called his official position, but Zhang Gong. Only this Yu Fan has never looked at him. He sneered not once or twice. This time it was even more excessive. He scolded him as a dead man to his face. He also mentioned the closure of the door, which can be said to have really touched Zhang Zhao's heart. He got up and had to send his hair. He pointed to Yu Fan and was about to scold. Sun Shao took a look and didn't care about his disapproach. He quickly got up and dragged Yu out. At the same time, he motioned Zhang Xiu to appease Zhang Zhao and don't make the old man angry.

Speaking of which, in fact, Yu Fan's skills are not under Sun Shao's. It's not easy for Sun Shao to drag him out of the cabin, but he was not interested in entangling with Zhang Zhao. As soon as Sun Shao dragged him, he took the opportunity to come out. After getting off the flying lane, he tidied up his clothes and asked puzzledly, "General, why did he go to the South China Sea?"

"How do I know the supreme command?" Sun Shao regretted it, but it was not easy to show it, so he had to answer vaguely.

"This is not a good arrangement." Yu turned his face down and said worriedly, "Zhang Zhaoni is ancient, and he is your teacher again. I'm afraid he will be constrained in the future."

Sun Shao smiled and said, "They are all loyal to the country. If there are any differences, just discuss and solve them. Zhang Gongmou has many years of experience. With him in the South China Sea, he just restrains the impetuousness of our young people, which is a good thing. Is it wrong for the Supreme to arrange so well-heartedly?

Yu glanced at him and said nothing more. He smiled meaningfully: "What the general said is very true. The guests have arrived. You'd better come here quickly. They think the conditions I told them are too good to accept them. They have to accept them in person.

"Hahaha..." Sun Shao laughed and pushed Yu: "Sir, go and greet me first. I'll invite the teacher down and then go." Yu Fan also smiled and strode away. A man with fifty steps is no different from a man with thirty steps.

Sun Shao went to the flying inn again. Zhang Zhao was still angry. When he saw Sun Shao, he turned his face and ignored him. Zhang Xiu turned to him for help with an embarrassed look on his face. Sun Shao clenched his fist to cover his mouth and coughed: "Teacher, Yu Zhongxiang is quite straightforward. It's not a day or two. The teacher has been angry for many years, so why should he be angry with him? All the sages of Huiji have arrived, waiting for the teacher's demeanor. The teacher should not let him wait too long.

Zhang Zhao listened to him well and felt that it was meaningless to be angry with Sun Shao. He eased his face and asked, "What great sages can Huiji have?"

"Kong Zhu of the Kong family, Wei Xiu of the Wei family, Sheng Gu of the Sheng family..."

Zhang Zhao was a little surprised: "The Wei family and the Sheng family are also here?"

"They all helped, so we have to share the benefits." Sun Shao answered with a smile, but when he saw that Zhang Zhao's face was obviously wrong, he quickly put away his smile and asked carefully, "What's the problem?"

Zhang Zhao** the corners of his mouth twice, twisted his beard for a long time, and then cautiously said, "Have you forgotten that Wei Teng, the head of the Wei family, almost died in your father's hand first, and then almost executed by the supreme? Don't you know that after Sheng Xian was killed, Sheng Kuang, the son of Sheng Xian, fled to the Central Plains? You interact with them. Isn't this asking for trouble?

Sun Shao was stunned. How did he know this? What did Yu Fan do? Why did he find all those who had hatred with the Sun family?

Seeing that Sun Shao's face was nervous, Shen Xuan took a step forward and saluted: "Wu Jun entered Shen Xuan later, and he dared to ask Zhang Gong for advice."

Zhang Zhao took a look, his eyelids jumped, and his mouth was a little bitter. He couldn't help but worry for Sun Shao. What did Sun Shao do? It's okay for others to say that Shen Xuan's old man, Shen Wu, was simply killed by Sun Quan, who was not an excuse. Sun Shao actually left him by his side. He nodded and motioned Shen Xuan to speak directly.

Shen Xuan saluted again: "My father was falsely accused of conspiracy. May I ask if my Shen family is rebellious now?"

Zhang Zhao was stunned, hesitated for a long time, and slowly shook his head.

"Cheng Xiaozhang was killed by the supreme. Isn't the Sheng family a citizen under the supreme rule? Wei Zhouxiu once collided with the supreme. Is the Wei family a potential rebellion?

Zhang Zhao's face turned red. Of course, he can't say that. He also bumped into Sun Quan. Is he also a potential rebellion? Shen Xuan's questions are difficult to answer. If he pushes it down according to his principle, then Sun Shao has been cheating since he began to study from him?

"Silence, step back." Sun Shao drank Shen Xuan in time, waved him to go out first, and then bowed and said, "Teacher, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't have much idea about this matter. It's just that they helped me repair the boat, and I gave them the benefits I promised in advance. Supreme Sage, I think he will understand.

Zhang Zhao shook his hand with emotion, interrupted Sun Shao, and suddenly said, "Fengxian, I understand your mind, and I believe you won't be so stupid. But what I want to tell you is that since you have no other ideas in your heart, don't shrink back. Whatever you think you should do, you can let it go. Only in this way will people not feel that you have other intentions. A gentleman is frank, and villains are often sad. Only people with ghosts in their hearts will look forward and backward when doing things.

Sun Shao smiled to himself secretly. This sounds right, but it doesn't work at all. You are frank and scold if you want to, but how is it now? If I hadn't fished you, you would still be in Jianye. However, on the scene, he said politely, "Thank you for your teaching. Teacher, the guests have arrived, you..."

"You go first. I'll wash my face and change my clothes. Since I want to see them, of course I can't be too casual."

"Oh." Sun Shao answered, gave Zhang Xiu a look, retreated, turned around and walked to the gangway. Shen Xuan stood outside the door. Seeing him coming out, he quickly followed him, pulled his skirt, and motioned him to speak by the boat. Sun Shao was puzzled, but when he saw that he looked solemn, he had to follow him. Shen Xuan stood in the bow of the boat and waved his hand. The soldiers on duty agreed and quickly stood away.

"General, half of Zhang Gong's words are right." Shen Xuan came straight to the point and said bluntly, "Why did I throw myself into the general's door? The general must have an idea, and I don't want to hide it. However, my father died unjustly. I, Shen Xuan, was not convinced. I will never be a colleague with those villains in my life.

Sun Shao was silent, looked at the seabirds flying on the sea in the distance, and listened to the following.

"If the general wants to be a subordinate, Shen Xuan dares not force the general. We each have our own way to survive." Shen Xuan stared at Sun Shao's eyes without blinking. Sun Shao felt a little guilty when he saw him. He pulled his face twice and let go of his eyes. Shen Xuan sighed disappointedly, arched his hand and said, "General, take care of yourself," and turned around and left. As soon as he took two steps, Sun Shao stopped him: "Mozhi, you know, I just don't want to be crippled by outsiders."

Shen Xuan turned his head and smiled coldly. He returned to Sun Shao and said earnestly, "General, we are not forcing you to rebel. You have a family and a job. Which of us has a family and a business? We just hope that the general can provide us with another choice. If the general can give us this opportunity, we will strongly support the general to create a career, not to want the general's uncles and nephews to fight each other.

"However, it will be suspicious to do so." Sun Shao shook his head: "I'm afraid that will not bring you hope, but will bring you the scourge of death." General, you are wrong." Shen Xuan said earnestly, "Only when you are strong can we be safe. The more you are more commissioned, the more dangerous it is. It's not us who are in danger. We can find another suitable candidate, but what about you? Do you want to be held in the palm of your hand for the rest of your life? In this case, why bother to go from Wu County to Jianye, and then from Jianye to Jiaozhou?

Sun Shao frowned. Shen Xuan's words were so direct that he couldn't bear it. Did they see everything he was thinking about? But it's reasonable to think about it. Which of these people is not a human spirit? He looked at Shen Xuan with slanted eyes and was silent for a while: "My family..."

"You have family, and we also have family." Shen Xuan interrupted him rudely: "General, you are not doing this to care about them, but to harm them."

"How do you say that?" Sun Shao was surprised.

Shen Xuan was obviously a little excited. He showed a very dissatisfied look: "I advise the general to come back from Jiaozhou. It's not for anything else. I don't want the general to lose support in the clan, not for Mrs. Qiao." He raised his hand and stopped Sun Shao, who wanted to defend himself: "I know you have a good relationship, but no matter how you come back, she is not your biological mother. She is just a concubine of the general. The rebellious general has passed away for more than ten years. She has nothing to do with the Sun family for a long time. She can leave the Sun family at any time. Even if something happened, the general would not punish her. But now that the general values her so much, she is in danger.

Sun Shao didn't even know what to say.

"If you really want to save her, protect Mrs. Guan, protect your son, and give them a stable life, you must be strong enough to consider the consequences before anyone wants to deal with you. Only in this way can they be safe. Otherwise, they are chickens in other people's hands. They can kill them whenever they want. Although Shen Xuan's voice was low, his tone was very harsh: "If he wants to kill, what can you do now?"

"What's the reason for him to kill?"

"Reason?" Shen Xuan sneered: "Do you need a reason to kill? Is the father really a rebellion? If the Shen family had heavy troops at that time, would he dare? It's okay for Gan Ning to kill so many people. Why was Gan Yu deprived of everything when he killed a person?

Sun Shao was speechless.

"You have recruited more than 10,000 pirates, which is enough to kill you a hundred times, but why are you all right now?" Shen Xuan took a long breath and continued to enlighten: "It's because you have the strength. Without strength, everything is empty. Believe it or not, one day Su's thick leg left by himself, and you were the first unlucky?

Sun Shao pondered for a long time and suddenly became enlightened. He suddenly understood that the reason why he was so wronged now was that he cared too much about the bridge and Guan Feng and his newborn son. In his opinion, these were all his relatives. He could not kill them because of his mistakes, so he had been thinking about the great escape and developing after they were completely safe, but He forgot one thing. In the eyes of others in the world, the surnames and lives of these three people are far less important than he thought. In fact, he gave a handle to Sun Quan.

Shen Xuan is right. Only when they have the strength can they be truly safe. Only at that time did Sun Quan need a reason to move him, a convincing reason. Otherwise, you can find a reason that is not a reason to deal with him.

"These families are all Huiji's families, and their strength is self-evident." Seeing that Sun Shao's face changed, Shen Xuan knew that he must have figured it out, and finally persuaded, "They can help the general. They will not help a reckless person, but they will never help a forward-looking person. They... will only help people who have real strength and can bring benefits to them."

Sun Shao took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and strode forward: "Let's go and meet these powerful people."

Shen Xuan bowed and saluted, followed closely, raised his arm, and quietly stroked his forehead. If Sun Shao had not stopped him just now, maybe the road would have been completely broken. The two walked to the lower cabin in a few steps. Shen Xuan took the lead, pushed open the hatch, smiled at the few people who were talking softly inside, and shouted loudly, "General Fubo is here."

Several people in the cabin looked at each other and left the table one after another. Sun Shao slowly stepped into the cabin and looked at the crowd with a smile. Yu took a look at Shen Xuan, and Shen Xuan nodded quietly. Yu Fan was overjoyed and grabbed the first gift, and those people hurriedly saluted.

"We are waiting to meet the general."

"Thank you for your hard work." Sun Shao bowed his hand and returned the salute with a reserved smile: "You are all famous sages of Huiji. Shao is also young and has never met. I dare to ask Mr. Zhong Xiang for an introduction."

Yu Fan laughed and said, "It's a blessing. General, this is the surname Kong family of Huiji. After being a saint, Kong Jun, the son of our prince Taifu, is taboo Zhu and his name is Junwei. This is Wei Jun, the great-grandson of Shao Yinggong (Wei Lang), who is one of the eight handsome. He is taboo and has a beautiful character. This is the son of the former Wujun Taishou Shengjun Xiaozhang. He is taboo and his name is Zhong Yan. This is..."

Yu Fan introduced them one by one. Sun Shao politely met them, and then sat down separately. After a while, Zhang Zhao came and made another introduction. Zhang Zhao replied solemnly one by one. Sun Shao entered the main seat, Zhang Zhaoyu turned left and right to accompany him, and the others were seated separately. The food was served. Everyone ate the meal, and then served wine and dishes. They drank politely. Zhang Zhao was the oldest here, and everyone took turns to give him a birthday.

After the banquet, the tea was served, and the irrelatant people withdrew. Only Sun Shao, Shen Xuan, Yu Fan and Kong Zhu were left in the cabin, and then they began to get to the point. Kong Zhu and others kept silent one by one, waiting for Sun Shao to speak. When Yu Fan talked with them on behalf of Sun Shao, they all opened their mouths and proposed to account for 60% of Donghai Commercial Road with several of them. Yu Fan agreed without saying a word. They were very happy at that time, but when the things were finished, they were a little worried. The knife was too fierce. If Sun Shao repented, there was nothing they could do, so they wanted to make it clear to Sun Shao face to face. In their hearts, Sun Shao is ready to bargain. The result of several people's discussion can be allowed to 40%. With this 40%, they will be satisfied.

"Thanks to your help this time, the warship has been modified in such a short time. I am very grateful to you." Sun Shao glanced at the crowd, saw their worries, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, since I entrust Mr. Zhongxiang to talk to you, I will definitely count. Mr. Zhong Xiang, what did you promise them?
