Chapter 67 Aurora Mariner

After a few days of busy work, Wei Ping, Sun Shao's think tank with Su's thick legs, led the Southern Taishou. When Sun Shao needed help most, Wei Ping persuaded Su's thick legs to set up a position under the city to attract Li Jing's attention. Sun Shao's contribution to breaking through the Xijuan City with a cup of tea was indispensable. Sun Shao gave him the most generous reward. Generally speaking, Sun Shao's credit this time is so great that Bu Qian will give him face no matter what. Wei Ping, the leader of the Southern Taishou, may become the real Southern Taishou. In that case, he will enjoy the treatment that only the children of the family can enjoy: starting with 2,000 stones. For Wei Ping, he had never thought about it before. When he received the appointment, he was so excited that he was at a loss.

"Take good care of the south." Sun Shao said to him solemnly, "If you have any problems, you can ask Bufujun for help, or Zhu Ya for help."

Wei Ping understands that Nan may not be peaceful in the future. Whether he can get through this dangerous period safely is a test for Wei Ping. Sun Shao gave him an opportunity to prove himself, not a period of wealth that fell from the sky.

At this time, the old boss Su's thick legs gave him the most powerful support: a thousand elites. With this thousand elites, Wei Ping suddenly had a bottom. This siege was going on too fast. In fact, the casualties of the defenders were not great. If he could deal with the rest of the people, coupled with the thousand elites who were completely loyal to him, he defended the letter of the south. He is more satisfied. If he really can't do it, he can still retreat under the protection of this thousand people.

At the end of December, Sun Shao, who received the order, returned to Zhuya with a full load and returned to Zhuya. Then he received a messenger sent by Sun Quan to reward. Sun Shao did not dare to neglect it. He immediately arranged Wei Jing to be the head of Zhu Ya and was responsible for the planning and preparation of Zhuya County. Shen Xuan was appointed as the successor of the general's office. Sun Quan set the scope of his functions as a post-general in the South Overseas. The siege not only gave him a vast world, but also distinguished the boundary between him and the governor of Jiaozhou in disguise. Sun Shao did not suffer any loss. He set up the general's mansion in Zhu Ya, which actually turned Zhu Ya into his territory.

After spending a New Year in the newly established Zhuya County, Sun Shao took General Zhenhai across the sea, General Henghai Su's thick legs, Dinghai Lieutenant Cui Qian and others rushed to Hepu and saw Bu Qian. This time, Bu Qian was also promoted. He changed from the governor of Jiaozhou to the governor of Jiaozhou. He is now the real master of Jiaozhou. He has more than 8,000 sailors and more than 10,000 step-step elites. He is strong and in a good mood. In the past, he could occasionally see a little smile on his gloomy face.

The first sentence Bu Qian saw Sun Shao was: "Feng Xian, the supreme order is to set up the Jiaozhou governor. I'm here waiting for you."

"Congratulations on your promotion to the state herdsman." Sun Shao arched his hand with a smile. Although the power of the assassin is also large, its status is not high. It is only 600 stones, which is only equivalent to the county magistrate of a large county, while the state herdsman is different. It is 2,000 stones, and Bu Qian's identity is different, which is better than the ordinary state herdsman, which is 2,000 stones. As a state herdsman, Bu Qian will be more righteous if he holds the troops in his hand. It can be seen that Sun Quan will do whatever it cost to give him strength to counterbalance himself.

Bu Qian couldn't see any unhappiness from Sun Shao's face, so he was relieved. Originally, he was worried that Sun Shao would react fiercely to Sun Quan's arrangement. After all, Sun Quan's intention to prevent Sun Shao's expansion of strength was obvious. He smiled and said, "In addition to Zhuya County, the Supreme has also arranged two counties for you to make food towns, so that you can support more than 10,000 sailors under you." As Bu Qian led Sun Shao to the map of Jiaozhou, he said, "That's right, Supreme has decided to name the sailor you belong to as Zhendan sailor."

Sun Shao smiled again. This was his reading ability and removed him from Jiaozhou in disguise. Since he is a Zhendan sailor, it is not easy to get mixed with Jiaozhou in the future. He nodded, but still didn't say anything. The name Zhendan probably comes from the southeast of the gossip, but he knew that the word Zhendan was later the Indians' name for China, and he didn't expect it to fall on him today.

Bu Qian clicked on Jieyang in Nanhai County on the map: "The Supreme assigned Jieyang in Nanhai County and Dong'an in Jian'an County to make food for you. It is close to the seaside, and it is still a good harbor. Are you satisfied?"

Sun Shao smiled and still didn't say anything. He nodded to show that he was very satisfied, but he smiled a little in his heart. Sun Quan looked very generous and suddenly gave his three counties to make food towns to support more than 10,000 sailors, but he intentionally or unintentionally divided the three counties so far, and they were all sparsely populated counties, and the taxes must be very limited. If he wanted to rely on these three counties to support his sailors alone, his sailors would probably be starved into rats. However, he did not expect to rely on any food to support the waterman. In his plan, as long as there is Zhu Ya, there will be enough financial resources. Jieyang and Dong'an are completely extra. Don't waste it. Although mosquitoes are small, they are also meat.

Seeing that Sun Shao had not spoken much, he thought that he was unhappy, and he also felt a little guilty. When he received Sun Quan's order, he also felt that Sun Quan seemed to be a little chicken. He deliberately restricted Sun Shao so much. Not only could he not play his due role, but he would teach the truth, forcing him to not have it. Sun Shao has an idea. However, he is well aware of Sun Quan's psychology, and he is also a new promotion. The so-called soft-handed person is embarrassed to blame Sun Quan.

"Your Majesty, the Supreme wants me to go north to participate in the war, but have you ever arranged the weight of our army? Is it now transferred from these counties, or to Qian Tangkou to supplement it? If it is adjusted now, it may take some time to start.

Bu Qian had already thought about it. He waved his hand and said generously, "The taxes of Hepu and Jiaotong counties have been levied on the warehouse. I'll allocate it to you first."

Sun Shao smiled and said, "You are very rich. If you say 100,000 or 200,000 stones of grain, you can give it."

Bu Qian smiled and looked at Sun Shao with admiration: "I can calm Jiaozhou so quickly this time. Thank you for your support. Without your rapid battles, I can't shake Shi Xie's foundation at all. Whether it's public or private, I will help you solve the food and fodder this time. He paused and said, "After several wars, I'm afraid your warship has lost a lot. You can go to Panyu Shipyard to get some new ships. I'll give him a text to Mr. Zhang."

Sun Shao was very satisfied and quickly thanked him.

After discussing with Bu Qian about the supply, before he was about to go out, Sun Shao said to Bu Qian very seriously, "Your Majesty, it is said that Nanjun has been settled, but I am worried that there will be a rebellion there. Although the governor of the Wei Ping Dynasty is left behind, I'm afraid I may not be able to suppress it. I hope you will pay more attention to it."

Bu Qian's eyes flashed and he ponded for a moment: "Don't worry, I will recommend Wei Ping's appointment to the Supreme. If there are any difficulties there, I will also send someone to support him, and I will be able to keep him safe and sound. Lin Yi's small country can't afford to turn over any big waves.

Sun Shao frowned and then laughed: "With the emperor sitting in the town, he really can't turn over any big waves."

Bu Qian's smile flashed and said nothing more. Sun Shao left Wei Ping in the south, which has shown his intention to occupy the south. However, although the south has a small population, it is a county. It is difficult for him to guarantee that Sun Quan will agree, so now he can only promise Sun Shao that he will recommend him to Sun Quan, but refuses to allow Wei Ping to become the real governor of Nan - and this was originally his friends. The state herdsman can make a decision before reporting it.

Sun Shao did not insist. He said goodbye and left the Jiaozhou pastoral government, which was about to be relocated.

Yu turned all the way. Seeing that Sun Shao didn't say a word, but there was no smile on his face, he comforted him, "Is the general annoyed by the scope of authority for the sailor?"

Sun Shao turned his head and looked at him and smiled helplessly: "I would have entrusted my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch."

Yu Fan tasted the meaning of these two poems, shook his head and smiled: "General, the name Zhendan is good. Shocker, Hengye. Shocking (the same sound, the appearance of fear), the laughter is hoarse, shocked for a hundred miles, and the dagger is not lost (the same sound, the wine is used for sacrifice). The earthquake has the meaning of turning bad luck into good luck, and there is also a omen of the birth of all things. It is said that it is a good omen to go out of the ground, the beginning of one sun, and the renewal of everything is also a good omen.

Sun Shao couldn't help laughing. The word Zhendan originally had the same meaning. According to the current popular weft, didn't Sun Quan name his sailor Zhendan in turn to predict his bright future?

"Thank you for your guidance, sir."

"Hehehe..." Yu smiled and stroked his beard. Compared with Sun Shao, he believed in these mysterious learnings. He felt that it was very symbolic for Sun Quan to name this sailor, which not only meant Sun Shao's bright future, but also attached a layer of God's will. What else in the world is more about tomorrow than the person who wants to guard against you the most but sends you a good omen? Yu Fan thought all the way. It is said that when Sun Ce passed away, he said to Sun Quan, "Give virtuous people and do their best to protect Jiangdong. I'm not as good as you." In order to protect Jiangdong, Yu Fan suddenly flashed a flash of inspiration. Sun Ce just asked Sun Quan to protect Jiangdong, but he did not say that he should occupy Jiangdong. Could it be said that it was just to let Sun Quan keep the foundation of Jiangdong, but After leaving it to his son, Sun Shao, who was still in his infffling at that time?

People are most afraid of pondering. Yu Fan studied Yi Xue. He originally believed in these fates and so on, and now he has a subjective motivation to think about it, so any word with signs can attract his attention, and Chinese characters have the most multiple meanings. If Sun Shao has been unable to come out, then Yu Fan may never come from this. Another meaning came up in the sentence. Now that Sun Shao has the strength to rise, and the good omen of turning bad luck into good luck, Sun Ce's sentence, which originally sounded very ordinary, has another meaning.

Yu turned all the way and thought all the way. When he returned to the camp of the sailor, he had already made a decision, and the rest was how to take the opportunity to speak to Sun Shao. Sun Shao didn't know that Yu Fan had thought of so many problems in this short time. He was just proud of his small sum of money. He not only got 300,000 stones of grain from the south, but also had nearly a year's grain reserve, and got more than half a year of military grain from Bu Qian. Now even if Sun Quan didn't give him food, he didn't worry about hunger. I have a stomach.

"Sir, you immediately inform the emperors and ask them to arrange people to come to Jiaozhou to do business. Now the East China Sea and the South China Sea are at peace. The South China Sea, Zhu Ya and the South China Sea are under our control. It is a good time to do business. Prepare for two or three months, just in time for the peak season of June and July. As soon as Sun Shao sat down, he said to Yu Fan and Shen Xuan, "Mou Zhi, you should speed up the time to operate Zhu Ya, and turn Zhu Ya into a suitable place for merchants in the shortest time. You should be able to provide a large enough market, warehouse, and enough houses, carriages and horses. In the future, you should also be able to repair ships and load and unload goods. , storage and other services. Sizhen has a relevant plan. You can discuss it with him. He is responsible for the technology and the management is coordinated by you.

"Oh." Shen Xuan is very satisfied with the current situation. His prime minister is Sun Shao's family, which has nothing to do with Sun Quan. This not only ensures the development of his Shen family, but also does not have to surrender to his enemy Sun Quan. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. He knew that Sun Shao's intention was to set up the rear general's mansion in Zhu Ya. Of course, he was full of energy to give full play to his intelligence and create a solid rear for Sun Shao.

"General, you can't just care about Huiji's family. You have to take care of the family in Wu County. You are from Wu County."

"Zi Zi, what do you mean?" Yu turned his eyes and said angrily, "The latter general is the latter general of the whole Jiangdong. When did he divide Ji and Wu Jun?"

Shen Xuan laughed and quickly explained, "I made a mistake."

Sun Shao did not refute. He nodded and said, "This is easy to do. Cheng Jun is now in charge of business affairs. Whether it is Wu County or Huiji, you and Cheng Jun will discuss it at that time. In short, the most important thing is that everyone has money to make money. Don't divide Huiji and Wu County, but make a part, except for Huiji. Won't you be treated with Wu Jun? Don't forget that the most merchants here are still Jiaozhou merchants and Yi merchants.

Yu Fan and Shen Xuan nodded at the same time: "What the general said is very true."

A few days later, Sun Shao received military grain and related bridles from Hepu, and led Yuehai, Su thick legs, Chen Hai and others to the South China Sea. On the road for more than a month, he was not idle. When attacking the Western Scrolls, he lost nearly half of the 300 warriors he led, so he decided to use this time to pick some more elites from the whole army and gather thousands of people as a guard camp, known as the destruction camp - to destroy all enemies who dare to claim to be sharp - to be led by Chen Hai, who had just been promoted to the commander of the destruction.

As soon as the news came out, the whole army made a sensation, rubbing their hands and eager to try.

Although Su's thick legs and Cui Qian are a little reluctant, now they dare not have any opinions about Sun Shao. Besides, their men are also extremely eager to enter Sun Shao's destruction camp. You know, those people not only look up to the sky when they walk one by one, but also claim to be the first in the world, but also enjoy the captain's pay. It's much richer than ordinary soldiers. Although Chen Hai is only a lieutenant, his prestige is simply a little better than that of General Zhenhai Yuehai. The whole Zhendan sailorian, probably only a limited number of people such as Sun Shao and Yu Fan can be paid attention to him. If they are deprived of the opportunity to join the destruction camp, they will be very dissatisfied.

More importantly, Sun Shao will be unhappy, which makes Su's thick legs and Cui Qian more afraid than the dissatisfaction of the soldiers.

After more than a month's journey, Sun Shao selected a thousand people to officially form a destroyer camp. He ordered Chen Hai, the proud captain of the destroyer, that this thousand people should not only be proficient in step-by-step warfare, but also be proficient in water warfare. In the future, whether on land or on the sea, they must take on the responsibility of sharp knives at any time. Chen Hai's chest patted loudly. The general can rest assured that I will definitely take them into elites who can do both land and water.

In the middle of February of the 24th year of Jian'an (219), Sun Shao arrived in the South China Sea. On the one hand, he sent all the warships into Panyu Shipyard for final maintenance, and on the other hand, he rushed to the South China Sea Taishou Mansion to visit Zhang Zhao. As soon as they stood at the door and presented their accents, they heard Zhang Zhao's distinctive high-pitated voice, and his tone was a little fierce, as if they were arguing with someone.

"Who is my teacher going to war with again?" Sun Shaoqiang said to Yu Fan with a smile. Yu Fan nodded with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is very knowledgeable. There are really not many people who can compete with him. I don't know who he is."

"General, Duke Yu." Zhang Xiu, with a smile on his face, quickly stepped out of it and saluted.

"Uncle, who is talking to the teacher?" Sun Shao asked as he walked in.

"It's Mr. Liu Chengguo from Beihai." Zhang Xiu led Sun Shao and Yu into the house and said with a smile, "He has been here for more than ten days. He has to debate with his father for an hour every day. Thanks to your good cooking skills in your house and knowing how to make all kinds of soup, my father is not angry."

The Nanhai Taishou Mansion where Zhang Zhao is now lived when Sun Shao was in the South China Sea. The cook in it was still Sun Shao**. He made a good soup. At that time, it was prepared for Guan Feng's baby, but I didn't expect Zhang Zhao to be cheaper now. Zhang Zhao drank these soups every day and was full of energy. After quarreling with Liu Xi for more than half a month, he was still in high spirits.

"Hahaha... That's the filial piety of the uncle. He takes good care of the teacher and the good craftsmanship of the cook. It's just the icing on the cake."

Zhang Xiu smiled and led Sun Shao into the main hall. Zhang Zhao, with a red face, sat high on the couch and looked at Sun Shao steadily, while an old man dressed as a sergeant next to him stood respectfully at the door, raised his forehead with his hands and said loudly, "Liu Xi in the North Sea, see you, General."

"It turned out to be Mr. Chengguo. I said that although the South China Sea is big, who can compete with my teacher for knowledge? Guessing, only the gentleman can stand in the front." Sun Shao quickly picked up Liu Xi and praised him. Then he rushed to Zhang Zhao and bowed to the ground respectfully.

"Disciple Sun Shao, meet the teacher and ask the teacher for good health."

"I'm fine." Zhang Zhao stroked his beard with satisfaction and glanced at Liu Xi proudly. He said to himself, "What are you talking about? See, Sun Shao, the rear general who is in the limelight at the present, are all my students. You claim that you have more than a thousand disciples, and which one has the prestige of me as a student?" How about the war in the South China Sea?

"Inheriting the supreme saint, Mr. Zhongxiang planned, and the generals used their lives, and the journey was smooth." Sun Shao got up and led Yu to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao raised his head slightly, looked at Yu Fan, and smiled, "Yu Zhongxiang, how about my useless disciple? Can you help me?"

Yu turned his hand and said quietly, "The future general is born with good talent, and the blue is out of the blue. Yu turned over is just a coincidence of opportunity. He has to attach a tail. How dare he say that he has meritorious service?"

He seems to praise Sun Shao, but in fact he is talking about Zhang Zhao. What are you proud of? Sun Shao is today. He is capable and good at using people and soldiers, which has nothing to do with your Zuo's Chunqiu. Even if it's you, it's just Sun Shao's light. Only then can you be a ready-made South China Sea Taishou, which is not worth showing off here.

Zhang Zhao heard the meaning of this. His face darkened and he was about to sneer. Thinking about Yu's famous temper in Jiangdong, he felt that there was no chance of winning. At that moment, he turned angrily into a smile: "Hahaha... Yu Zhongxiang is still so mad. Brother Cheng Guo, this is Yu Zhongxiang, who is proficient in Yi Xue and once made your county general Kong Wenju admire him.

Yu Fan once had letters with Kong Rong, and sent the easy note he wrote to Kong Rong to read. After reading it, Kong Rong appreciated it very much and replied, "I heard the reason and joy of Yanling and saw the ease of my son's governance. Those who know the beauty of the southeast are not the bamboo arrows of the apprentices." This is a very high evaluation of Yu Fan's combination with the ancient sage Wu Yanling Ji Zi, especially from the mouth of Confucian Kong Rong, who is famous for his profound knowledge, which is even more rare. This is also what Yu Fan has always been proud of.

Liu Xi had heard of Yu Fan's name for a long time, but he was not familiar with Sun Shao's situation. Unexpectedly, the tall and thin old man followed by Sun Shao was Yu Fan. Zhang Zhao, who had argued with him for more than ten days, was so polite. He did not dare to neglect it and hurried forward to salute.

Yu Fan hurriedly returned the salute, politely said a few words to each other, and sat down to discuss. These three are all great scholars in the world. Although Sun Shao has also worked hard on Zuo's Chunqiu, in front of these three people, he is still only qualified to listen. After listening for a while, I realized why Zhang Zhao quarreled with Liu Xi.

The cause is very simple. When chatting, Zhang Zhao proudly talked about his students and said that he was going to the south. Liu Xi talked about Funan. He said that the language spoken by some people in Funan country is somewhat similar to the ancient language. These people may have moved from the Central Plains a long time ago. Zhang Zhao was interested and asked a little in detail. As a result, after a discussion, the two had differences. Starting from the concept of Confucian orthodoxy, Zhang Zhao refused to admit that Liu Xi said that the barbarians in Funan might be the first owners of the Central Plains, but although he quoted the scriptures, he could not stop Liu Xi's best exegesis. As a result, the two quarreled. Here we go.

"Is Fu Nanguo the original?" Sun Shao is interested.

"From a linguistic analysis, this may have a big surname." Liu Xi saw that Sun Shao's attitude was very modest, and he did not have the arrogance of being a teenager at all. He had a very good impression of Sun Shao. He ordered someone to take a brief book and carefully handed it to Sun Shao: "This is some research I did after learning. If the general is interested, he might as well do it."

Sun Shao hurriedly saluted, and then carefully took it over and opened it. The words on it were very beautiful, neat and meticulous. But the article is not easy to understand. He can still understand the previous preface, and he fainted after reading only a few lines of the research.

"Have you seen an article like this to others?" Sun Shao was embarrassed to look down again, put down the bamboo slips, and asked calmly.

"No, these knowledge are not understandable to ordinary people." Liu Xi said proudly, "I'm going to pass it on to my disciples in the future, and I'm not going to show it to others."

Sun Shao shook his head. Those who do learning have this bad problem. With academic achievements, they do not publish them, so that many research experience is finally lost, and later generations will spend time doing repetitive work. Not only Liu Xi has this problem, but also Yu Fan and Zhang Zhao have such habits. Yu Fan's easy note is easy to show. Zhang Zhao's Zuo's Chunqiu notes are also hidden at home. In order to please his father-in-law Guan Yu, he took a lot of effort to get Zhang Zhao's permission to copy a copy. Zhang Zhao saw that he helped Zhang Cheng get a position. On the face. He looked at Liu Xi and said solemnly, "Sir, Sun Shao is not talented, and I dare not beak your big beak, but I don't think this kind of way of hiding learning is appropriate."
