The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 61 Small Bridge Flowing Water

"The meeting?" Sun Shao couldn't help laughing and said, "The Supreme will let me go to Huiji?"

"Why not?" Yu Fan asked, "Huiji Qian and Tangkou can go out of the sea to the north in one or two days to reach Guangling, take Guangling as the base to attack Xuzhou, advance and retreat freely, from the middle of the water to attack Huaiyin, or from the Huai water to Huaiyin. After Huaiyin, Xuzhou will be in the front of the army. Moreover, once the general enters Huaiyin, it will directly threaten the safety of Zang Ba. Zang Ba's Qingxu Shuishi will naturally withdraw from the river, so that Jiangdong can be invincible. Qian Tangkou now has the ability to repair ships, which can meet the needs of the general. Does the general think that the supreme will always keep the Houguan shipyard in your hands?

Sun Shao understood a little. Yu Fan did not say that Sun Quan would give him Huiji County, but that he would let him stay in Qian Tangkou. Several families in Qian Tangkou have the strength to help him repair ships, but they do not have the strength to help him build a large number of ships, which can not only meet his needs, but also control his development. For Yu Fan, he is stationed in Qian Tangkou, and the Huiji family has strong support and can get more benefits. From these words of Tianyu, it can be seen that although he is in a good mood now, he does not regard the South China Sea as his home after all. In his mind, there may still be a derogatory component in the South China Sea, but his boss respects him very much, so he is in a good mood.

"You can't start from Guangling." Sun Shao shook his head and denied Yu's plan: "The water is shallow, and the building ship cannot pass smoothly. We can only fight against the Qingxu sailor with a medium-sized warship, and the damage will increase. Moreover, entering the water will be subject to the terrain, and we can no longer come and go without a trace like now.

Yu Fan heard the meaning of the words. Sun Shao did not want to attack Huaiyin from Guangling. Of course, he was worried about the bad terrain, but he was more worried about being controlled by others. Although the guard of Guangling is Sun Shao, Sun Shao is not his own brother after all, and the relationship between the two is not good. In case Sun Shao accepts Sun Quan's order and controls Sun Shao's back path, Sun Shao will be in a dilemma.

"That's through Huaishui? But in this case, the difficulty of heavy transportation will be greatly increased.

"If he wants me to go to war, he will naturally arrange my weight. We don't need to solve this problem." Sun Shao curled his lips and didn't want to discuss this topic anymore. On the one hand, these are still Yu Fan's estimates. Although the surname may be very large, it has not become a reality after all. On the other hand, he originally considered Liaodong, not the Huiji of Yu Fan's hope. It may be too early to talk about it now. Yu Fan didn't even want to stay in Jiaozhou. He told him that Liaodong was not boring.

Yu saw that Sun Shao was a little lacking in interest. He thought that Sun Shao was as naughty as before and forced Sun Quan to give him a heavy brier, otherwise he would not participate in the war, but he didn't expect what Sun Shao was thinking. He doesn't object to this practice. It's not a good thing not to participate in the war, as long as people don't catch the handle. If Sun Shao can be tough and appropriate, then these people will have a good time after Sun Shao.

... Bu Qian rushed to Jiaoqian. Shi Xie knew that the general trend had gone and took the initiative to go out of the city to plead guilty. Bu Qian knew that although he had the upper hand, the strength of the Shi family was still there, and it was not time to kill them all, so he did not accept Shi Xie's request to resign from the Taishou, and also kept Shi's Jiuzhen Taishou. But he said that according to the custom of the court, officials of 2,000 stones can be their sons. Don't live up to the supreme beauty and send your sons to Jianye. Shi Xie and Shi know that the so-called being a man is to be a proton. If it had been in the past, they would have been unwilling, but now they can't do it, so they just nod to agree. Ten days later, the five children of the Shi family, led by Shi Xie's youngest son, rushed to Jianye under the escort of the people arranged by Bu Qian. There were also a large amount of property and Jiaozhou's rent this year - the number was three times that of last year.

So far, Bu Qian has pocketed six counties of the seven counties in Jiaozhou, and only Li Jing, the governor of Nan County, has not yet served, but he doesn't care. On the one hand, the south is too far away, and on the other hand, Sun Shao has gone straight to the south from Zhu Ya. If there is no accident, Sun Shao will definitely not let Li Jing go. At present, his most urgent task is to return to Nanhai County, seize the military power of Shiwei, and put the power of this sailor into his hands. Otherwise, the South China Sea will be completely Sun Shao's world, and he doesn't have much right to speak at all.

In front of Shi Xie's handwritten letter and the 10,000 elite soldiers under Bu Qian, Shi Weixiang, a defeated rooster, completely lowered his once high head, bowed down, and handed over more than 200 warships and more than 4,000 soldiers in his hand.

The completed step did not stop at all, and sent 600 miles to send the lucky report to Jianye.

When Sun Quan received the war report, he was ecstatic at first, and then he was a little worried. Jiaozhou started as he wished. If Sun Shao's predictions could finally be realized, Jiaozhou would become his stable rear. Just as Cao Qian had Jizhou at the beginning, he would also have a base that could provide him with wealth and food. More importantly, from now on, he does not have to restrain from Yangzhou, and the burden on Yangzhou will be greatly reduced, which is also conducive to his rule of the six counties of Jiangdong. And he was worried that Sun Shao played a role in determining the surname in this battle, and he must give rewards in time to boost morale. How to reward has become a problem.

Sun Shao is now General Fubo. If he has made contributions and is promoted again, he will at least be a partial general. He should not only be promoted to his position, but also be a marquis. He should not only be a marquis, but also give him Shiyi, so that he has the ability to support his more than 10,000 sailors. This is the practice of Jiangdong. Every general is like this, and Sun Shao is naturally no exception. Therefore, it is logical for Sun Shao to set up a county in Zhuya and include Zhuya in his own food field.

Sun Quan is not reluctant to give up Zhu Ya. He feels that Zhu Ya is a wild place with limited rents, but Sun Shao's initiative to ask for it seems to be more abrupt. Before that, everything about Sun Shao was given by him. He gave it to Sun Shao, not Sun Shao took the initiative to ask for it.

This shows that Sun Shao has strength and ambition, which makes Sun Quan very uneasy. What he is most worried about is this, but now it is slowly becoming a reality. What worried him more was that he found that he could not stop it from happening.

Now remove Sun Shao's military power? Regardless of whether Sun Shao will agree or not, even if he can agree, who can take over his people? Su's thick legs are pirates, and Cui Qian is pirates. They are all pacified by Sun Shao. As soon as Sun Shao leaves, will they go back into the sea as thieves? They are the main force of Sun Shao's men. Su's thick legs are nearly 10,000 people, Cui Qian is three or four thousand people, while the original officers and soldiers crossed the sea with less than 3,000 people. As for Gan Yu's people and horses, there are only 1,000 people, not to mention that Gan Yu is now grateful to Sun Shao at all.

If Sun Shao is removed, in case of change, he may not only not get more than 10,000 sailors, but also have more than 10,000 more pirates. What's more terrible is that now these pirates are equipped with sailors' warships. Their strength is only stronger than before. Once the East China Sea and the South China Sea are disrupted again, it will be a nightmare, and Jiaozhou will inevitably fail again.

Sun Quan dares not take this risk. At least he can't do anything about Sun Shao's strength until he finds a suitable replacement.

But without doing anything, let Sun Shao develop like this, how can he sleep well? After only one year, Sun Shao suddenly rose up and became one of the few heavy generals in Jiangdong. If he was given another three or five years, will he directly kick his uncle out of power?

Sun Quan's temple "squeaked" randomly, and there were bursts of palpitations. He had been guarded for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, he still didn't prevent it. He was accidentally seated by Sun Shao. Now he has lost control, and the final result depends on how ambitious Sun Shao is. Does he just want to be a general, or does he want to go further and inherit his father's career and become the lord of Jiangdong?

"A Weng--" Sun Luban rushed in like a gust of wind and threw himself into Sun Quan's arms.

"Big tiger, why do you want to come to A Weng?" Sun Quan put down the war report in his hand, hugged Sun Luban, and said with a pity.

"They don't play with me!" Sun Luban pointed to the outside angrily.

"Who doesn't play with you?" Sun Quan asked with a smile, "Who is so bold not to play with my big tiger?"

"It's your two tigers."

Sun Quan understood. Hu Zi pointed to the two sons of Ling Tong. He raised them in the house. In order to train them, in addition to arranging people to teach them to study martial arts every day, he also let them ride horses every ten days. These two children have a strong legacy. They study hard and practice martial arts with aura. He is very happy and has called them Huzi many times. Probably the big tiger thought that she was the tiger. Now she has been robbed of her title, so she was not happy and came to sue.

As he was speaking, the little tiger Sun Luyu rushed over with Mrs. Bu. As soon as he saw Sun Luban in Sun Quan's arms, Mrs. Bu hurried forward to pull her away. Sun Luban pouted and hugged Sun Quan's neck. Sun Quan waved his hand with a smile, gave her Mrs. Fu to sit down on the opposite side, and then smiled and said, "What's going on? Why are the children at odds again?

Mrs. Bu was a little helpless and stared at Sun Luban: "It's not her yet. She has to compete with Ling Lie Lingfeng, saying that winning is the tiger. The result is..."

"What happened to the result?" Sun Quan was a little puzzled. Ling Lie was as big as Sun Luban. Although the boy developed a little later and was half a head smaller than Sun Luban, the boy was very fierce and good at fighting. Did he beat Sun Luban?

Mrs. Bu sighed and told the whole story. Sun Luban provoked Ling Lie many times. Ling Lie knew his identity, and of course he did not dare to fight back, but Sun Luban refused to give up. He forced Ling Lie to the corner of the wall several times, and finally provoked Ling Lie and accepted Sun Luban's challenge. The result was very surprising. Although Ling Lie was really angry, he was not Sun Luban's opponent. He was punched into black-eyed by Sun Luban and pressed the ground to eat a mouthful of mud. What's more serious is that Sun Luban was powerful and forced Ling Lie to admit that he was a dog. This is a little too bullying. Although Ling Lie was small, he refused to humiliate Ling Tong, so he refused to admit it. As a result, Sun Luban fought once and again, and Ling Lie saw her as if he had seen a ghost. How dare he play with her?

"Did you hit A Lie?" Sun Quan couldn't help laughing and raised Sun Luban and shook it: "You are really my big tiger."

"Aunt's trick." Sun Luban raised his little arm and smiled proudly.

"Your aunt taught it?" Sun Quan finally knew why Sun Luban was so arrogant. She was supported by the more arrogant Sun Shangxiang.

"Yes." Sun Luban smiled and said, "Auntie said that this is taught by the eldest brother, which can increase strength. If we women practice, we can beat men.

Sun Quan's face suddenly darked for a long time, and the curse was Sun Shao again. He put down Sun Luban with some frustration, but Sun Luban did not find a change in his mood. He pointed to the war report that had just been sent on the case and asked, "A Wong, where did this come from?"

"The war report of the state." Sun Quan looked at Mrs. Bu and said, "It's time to calm down Jiaozhou. The protons of the Shi family are already on the way."

When Mrs. Bu heard this, she couldn't help but be a little happy. She had been in Jiaozhou for seven or eight years, and finally calmed down Jiaozhou. The improvement of Bu Qian's status means that her position is more stable. It's a pity that I couldn't have a son. Otherwise, there will be no suspense about the queen's position in the future. However, she knew that Sun Quan didn't like women who were too flamboyant, so she suppressed her joy and said, "He Xi Supreme."

Sun Quan smiled bitterly and congratulated himself. The trouble is in the back.

"Brother, did you win the battle?" Sun Luban shouted in surprise.

"Well, I won the battle." Sun Quan answered casually.

"Oh, that's great." Sun Luban jumped up and said, "I'm going to find Yinping's sister-in-law, tell her the good news, and then ask her for a new pair of leather armor. The leather armor my brother made for me is too small, which makes me feel uncomfortable." After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Sun Quan to agree.

Sun Quan was stunned. At this time, he noticed that Sun Luban seemed to have grown a lot this year, and Sun Shao's customized leather armor for her was a little small. However, but he wanted to tell the bridge the news by himself. When Sun Luban went like this, why did he use it as an excuse?

"This child..."

"Supreme, the big tiger was spoiled by Feng Xian. She doesn't want to study now. She thinks about monk Xiang and Yinping to learn martial arts all day long. What can she do if she will be a female general in the future? It's October 1st. If you don't study, it will be too late.

"What's your daughter's book? Can't my daughter get married if she doesn't study?" Sun Quan didn't think so. Thinking of Zhou Xun, there was a disdainful sneer on the corners of his mouth. What kind of family do you have to bow your head in front of power? My daughter likes him. It's his blessing and the blessing of his Zhou family. Does he dare to refuse? Will he refuse?

When Mrs. Bu saw him say so, she couldn't say anything more. She knew that all the rules would fall here in Sun Luban. Sun Quan liked quiet women, but he never asked for his daughter like this. On the contrary, he was a little indulgent. She can vaguely guess some of this kind of psychology, but she never dares to show it.

Sun Luban rushed into the yard next door and rushed all the way to Guan Feng's bedroom. Guan Feng was learning to walk with her son's hand. As soon as she saw Sun Luban rushing in like a calf, he was afraid of being hit by her. She quickly picked up her son and smiled, "Big tiger, what's so happy about?"

Sun Luban smiled, put his hands behind him, and proudly straightened his small chest: "Sister-in-law Yinping, let me tell you the good news. How can you thank me?"

"What good news?" Guan Feng smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that if you call me sister-in-law, just call me sister-in-law. Don't add your name."

"That won't work. In the future, my eldest brother will definitely marry other women. Several sisters-in-law will mix together. Who knows which one it is, so that they can be clearly separated." Sun Luban said unobstructedly, but he didn't notice that Guan Feng's eyes darkened, and his expression became a little unnatural. Then tell me, what's the good news? How can I thank you?

"Hee hee, the eldest brother won the battle." Sun Luban giggled with joy and said, "Well, is it good news?"

Guan Feng turned her head and looked at Sun Luban with a surprised face: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. The war report has just been delivered." Sun Luyu raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly, "The protons of the Shi family are on the way, can they be fake? A Weng said that the eldest brother now has nearly 20,000 people under him.

Guan Feng suddenly suffocated and couldn't breathe. Twenty thousand people? Sun Shao's situation is not good, but dangerous. Sun Luban is a child and doesn't understand the mystery. Sun Quan said that he was definitely not happy, but had another murderous intention. After thinking about it, she handed over her son to the wet nurse, pulled Sun Luban aside, and said with a smile, "It's really good news. Tell me what's going on, and then I'll decide how to thank you."

Sun Luban nodded repeatedly and told Guan Feng everything he saw and heard. Guan Feng asked Sun Quan's expression at that time. Unfortunately, Sun Luban didn't know how to look at his face, and he couldn't say anything. Guan Feng was a little restless. She answered Sun Luban's set of leather armor and took her away. I sat in the room without saying anything for a long time. She couldn't figure out that Sun Shao had always kept a low profile. Why did he suddenly change into a person this time? He not only expanded his strength unscrupulously, but also took the initiative to ask Sun Quan for Zhu Ya. Isn't he afraid that Sun Quan will be suspicious of him?

Guan Feng couldn't think of a reason, so she had to tell the bridge the news. The bridge also felt strange. This matter was completely contrary to Sun Shao's previous forbearance. It was not his style of action at all, but somewhat similar to his recklessness before he fell ill. Is this child promoted because it has been going well recently? Or did Sun Luyu hear it wrong?

In a long time, Sun Quan sent someone to the house to report the news, confirming Sun Luyu's words. The bridge was really panicked this time. She didn't understand what it meant. Based on past experience, she thought it might not be a good omen, but a very bad news.

"Go to Zhou's house to invite your wife, and also invite Ah Yu." The bridge thought over and over again, but I still couldn't figure out the situation. I subconsciously thought of Xiaoqiao and Zhou Yu. Xiaoqiao is still secondary. Her political mind is not much better than her, but Zhou Yu's thinking is meticulous, and her analysis is much better than them, and she is much better than Guan Feng.

Guan Feng was a little embarrassed. Because of her, Zhou Yu rarely came to the house this year. She didn't expect that something could not be solved by herself, but she had to beg her. She was very worried that Zhou Yu would hate her and didn't dare to help. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous. In his eyes, the bridge was also a little unhappy, but he was dissatisfied with Guan Feng.

"A...mother, last time...the southbound essay sent back by my husband last time, and...there is also a book for Zhou Yu's sister, I..."

The bridge looked at Ai Ai's Guan Feng and was stunned for a moment before he understood. Every six months or so, Sun Shao would send back a southbound essay. In the past, there was only one. Of course, she could only stay at home. The first one was in her hand. At that time, Guan Feng was still with Sun Shao, and the second one was in Guan Feng's hand. Guan Feng showed it to her, but later she took it back. Last time Zhou Yu came, she once asked if there was any update. Guan Feng said no. In fact, the bridge knew that there was. She knew Guan Feng's little careless, and she did not expose it. She always felt that Guan Feng was protecting her husband. Although she had hurting women's morality, it was also human virtue. But I didn't expect that Guan Feng was so excessive that she even hid a copy for Zhou Yu, even her mother. It's time to ask someone, and then take it out.

"You..." The bridge was so angry that I didn't know what to say.

Guan Feng bowed in front of her aggrievedly and sobated: "Mom, it's my fault. As soon as I saw her looking at my husband's eyes, I felt uncomfortable. She reads the article written by her husband and can see other meanings between the lines. I'm ashamed of myself. I really hope that I can make a contract with my husband like her, but I can't do it, so... so... it's me... I'm jealous and I'm guilty of women's morality."

The bridge sighed and wanted to scold Guan Feng, but he couldn't bear it. Which woman is willing to share her husband with others, not to mention that Sun Shao still spoils Guan Feng. People are always greedy, and the more they enjoy, the more greedy they are. Guan Feng was born in a martial arts. In terms of literature, she is indeed far from Zhou Yubi, and it is conceivable to have this idea.

"Take it here. Don't do this next time." The bridge sank his face: "You should know that there will definitely be other women in the future. You are the right wife. If you don't have this, how can you achieve family harmony in the future?"

"Oh." Guan Feng didn't dare to talk back. She hurried back to her room, brought a brand-new southbound accompanying her, and carefully held it to the bridge. The bridge turned over and put it aside casually. Guan Feng reminded him again, "Mother, look at the last page."

"What's wrong with the last page?" The bridge is a little puzzled. Turn to the last page and see that it is a painting, but it is not a common illustration in the book. It is painted with a man riding a thin horse, standing on a post bridge, looking back at the fall of the sky. Next to an old vine and a crow with a shrank neck stopped on it. The whole picture is very simple, with a bleak and desolate smell. The inscription in the upper left corner is like a poem, but the bridge tried to break several sentences, but found that it was not a poem, but it was not clear what it was.

"What is this written?"

"It seems to be a song, and I can't tell the difference." Guan Feng blushed and pointed to two of the words: "I didn't dare to give them to Sister Yu for fear of misunderstanding because of these two words."

The bridge looked along her fingers and found that there was the word "small bridge" in it. She frowned and thought for a moment. She couldn't help laughing: "Silver screen, you have too much heart. What misunderstanding can this cause?"

Guan Feng blushed with embarrassment: "I'm too worried."

"But I can't blame you. Although Aman is already a general, he is still a little childish. He doesn't know the importance of his words and his mouth is open-free. It is inevitable that he will be misunderstood. However, screen, you are his wife. Don't you know about him? It's wrong for you to have such a mind. The more I think about the bridge, the more funny it is. It's enough for Guan Feng to suspect Zhou Yu. Why do she still suspect Xiaoqiao? It's really suspicious.
