The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 71 Your eyes are too short and shallow

Sun Shao entered the door, saluted Sun Quan, and then saluted Gu Yong and others. Finally, when it came to Lv Meng, he was surprised and said, "Why is the general's face so bad? Is he worried about the war? This war still needs to be planned by the general. The general should take care of himself.

Lv Meng smiled and saluted: "There is a general, why worry about it? In addition, the general is above Lv Meng. I can't afford it if you salute me. He is now a left guard and General Hu Wei. He is really inferior to Sun Shao, a post-general. If you want to say, he is really popular. He has been fighting since he was a teenager, and now he is just a miscellaneous general, but Sun Shao has only been a year since his debut, and he is actually a post-general.

Sun Shao said unkindly, "General, this is wrong. I don't respect you because of your general. I just respect your elders."

Lv Meng's face stiffened, and all the words were choked back. He originally wanted to put on some old qualifications, but he didn't expect that Sun Shao didn't give face at all and directly came back: I just saw that you were old.

Sun Quan pretended to be angry and said, "Feng Xian, don't be rude. I'm discussing the war with you. You're just in time. Let's sit down and listen together."

Sun Shao smiled, changed into a smiling face, and arched his hand to Lv Meng: "It's a stubborn joke, the general must not be surprised. However, when it comes to the war, I can pat my chest and say that there is a shocking sailor, and the river is the insurmountable chas of Cao's army. General, don't worry and go to war boldly. I, Sun Shao, will protect you with no worries. General Lu, I'm waiting for you to break through Xu County and welcome back the Son of Heaven from Cao Thieves to fulfill the good news of the father's unfulgoed wish.

Lv Meng was stunned and then turned his eyes to Sun Quan. Sun Quan was embarrassed by Sun Shao's last words. For a moment, he didn't understand what Sun Shao meant. When he saw Lv Meng looking at him, he touched it and felt something was wrong. Why doesn't Sun Shao go to Huaiyin and guard the river?

"Fengxian, what did you just say?" Sun Quan interrupted Sun Shao's ridiculation of Lv Meng and asked anxiously.

"I said that I was willing to break through the Qingxu Marine Division for General Lu to ensure the safety of the army's back road."

"Nonsense." Sun Quan lowered his face and stared at Sun Shao angrily: "We are discussing business. How can you talk nonsense? When did you get to guard the river? I want you to enter Zhongdushui and attack the area of Huaiyin and Pengcheng. How can you not listen to the order? Is it possible that if you are promoted to an official and lead more soldiers, you can do it on your own? Feng Xian, you should know that there is no children's play in the army.

Everyone was a little nervous when they heard it. Sun Quan's words meant a threat. If Sun Shao did not respond properly, Sun Quan might seize the opportunity to deal with him. Gu Yong and Lu Xun were a little worried and puzzled. Although Sun Shao used to be rude, he had been very calm in the past or two. Why did he return to his old state this time? First, he left the army and suddenly returned to Jianye, and now he gives Sun Quan a chance in front of everyone? If it's just Ren's surname, it's a little disappointing their cultivation.

Gu Yong's eyes fell silently. He seemed to be very calm, but he couldn't help holding his breath. Lu Xun stared at Sun Shao, trying to see a clue in his eyes or face. Sun Shao smiled, looked at Sun Quan solemnly, and saluted respectfully: "Dare to ask the supreme, what is the purpose of this war to achieve?"

Sun Quan was made a little irrelevant by his solemnity, and the anger that had just been brewed could not be expressed. He stroked the purple mustard and meditated for a moment: "Isn't it very clear in the document I gave you? Of course, it is to attack Jianghuai and share Liu Yizhou's worries."

"Dare to ask the supreme, is it just to attract Cao's attention, so that he can't attack Yizhou with all his strength?"

Sun Quan hesitated for a moment. Of course, the answer was obvious, but it was because it was obvious that he felt that there was something in Sun Shao's words.

"Of course." Lv Meng interrupted and said with a smile, "Do you really want to fight to Xu County and welcome back the emperor?"

"Welcome back to the emperor may only be the most ideal result, but if this battle is only to attract Cao's attention, then I dare to say that your eyes are too short-sighted."

Lv Meng was stunned. For the first time in the past few years, someone said that he was short-sighted and face to face. Gu Yong was also shocked, his eyelids jumped, and his sharp eyes suddenly focused on Sun Shao's face. Lu Xun smiled bitterly and lowered his head. Sun Shao was crazy today and kept biting Lv Meng and refused to let it go. Lv Meng is Sun Quan's favorite general. He did so, which is no different from accusing Sun Quan.

"Presumptuous!" Sun Quan was annoyed and angry. He was scolding loudly, but Sun Shao saluted him again: "Supreme, please allow me to tell you. If I'm wrong, please don't be late to punish me again."

"You said it." Sun Quan was furious. He pressed his hands on the desk, leaned forward, and wanted to choose someone like a hungry tiger. If you can't make sense, I have to teach you well for my late brother today.

Sun Shao curled his lips secretly. If you want to clean up, I will say directly, why do you have to carry out my dead father? He coughed and calmly glanced at the people with different eyes. His voice was loud: "Dare to ask you, what is the biggest difficulty of Sun Liu's alliance against Cao?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one would speak first. Lu Xun flashed and vaguely understood Sun Shao's meaning. He calmly answered, "The biggest difficulty of Sun Liu's alliance is naturally mutual trust. Liu Bei Junchen is cunning. He has been bullying me in Jiangdong since 13 years of Jian'an. First, he seized the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and then he was frustrated that I seized Yizhou, and then he was strong. If you don't pay it back through Jingzhou, there is no faith, and it's hard to believe.

"That's good." Sun Shao winned at Lu Xun and said that it was too timely for you to praise him. He put one hand behind him, and the other hand was impassioned. He said to Sun Quan, who deeply agreed, "Supreme, the Sun and Liu families have been working together to fight against Cao. It has always been my Jiangdong. Liu Bei has benefit. If it hadn't been for the Supreme focusing on the overall situation, he would not want to destroy the alliance between the two sides for the sake of the small profits in front of him. I'm afraid that the Sun Liu Alliance will be in Jian'an 19th. The year no longer exists. If the supreme led General Huwei to the west at that time, then Yizhou would not be owned by Liu Bei now. Of course, I'm afraid I'm not sure if it's owned by Jiangdong.

Sun Quan nodded, which could be said to be in his heart. He hates Liu Bei to the bone, but why did he save him? It's not because he is a natural kind person, but because he knows that Jiang Dong's current strength is not enough to be based on the Yangtze River. Once Liu Bei is finished, Cao will get Yizhou, and Jiangdong will be finished. Thinking of this situation, he regretted being cheated by Liu Bei at the beginning, and also hated Liu Bei.

"However, now that Cao Jian personally leads the main force to attack Yizhou, can Liu Bei still pull out his hand? Does he still have the heart to be treacherous? Sun Shao asked, "Dare to ask the Supreme, if such a good opportunity is let go, when will it appear next time?"

Sun Quan's heart was shocked, and then he was a little ecstatic. Lu Xun had already figured it out. He just nodded calmly to agree. Gu Yong was still calm, but he raised his hand and kept stroking his beard, looking a little excited. Sun Shao, Zhuge Jin, Teng Dan and others seemed to be a little excited.

Yes, what were you most afraid of before? I'm most afraid that Liu Bei will stab in the back. Now that Cao put the knife on Liu Bei's neck, does Liu Bei still have time to use the knife? It's hard for him to protect himself. At this time, he just wants to live. How can he have the energy to deal with Jiangdong? In order to relieve the pressure on Liu Bei, Guan Yu has transferred all the troops he can mobilized to Xiangyang, leaving only a limited number of troops in Jiangling and the public security area. At this time, he is most worried that Jiangdong will make black hands, and he will not be in the mood to come to Jiangdong's black hands. This kind of proactive situation of Liu Bei Junchen is indeed rare. As long as Jiang Dong shows enough sincerity, a near-perfect opportunity for collaborative combat is in front of him. More importantly, Liu Bei also bears the greatest pressure.

From this perspective, it is only limited to disturbing Xiahou Dun and leading Cao Qian out of the Han Dynasty. It is indeed short-sighted. Let alone fight to Xu County to welcome back the emperor, at least to seize the Jianghuai River and realize the strategic depth of Jiangdong's dream.

"What you said makes some sense." Sun Quan was attracted by the bright prospects and couldn't help pushing down according to Sun Shao's ideas. If the Jianghuai can be captured, then the security of Jiangdong will be more guaranteed. If it is more understood, it is difficult to capture Yuzhou and Sili, and the next three-point situation on that day will be more beneficial to Jiangdong and Yizhou. At present, the most powerful states in Cao Qian's hands are Sili, Yuzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou. The other states are sparsely populated, and all industries are withered. Liu Bei's hands are beneficial to the state. Jiangdong used to have more than half of Yangzhou, but now there are more Jiaozhou. If he can seize Yuzhou and even Sili again, then Jiangdong's strength will far exceed that of Liu Bei. And it's close to Cao.

And for Sun Quan, there is a more important thing. With the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer literary ministers in Huai who crossed the river with Sun Ce. Jiangdong has become an irreversible trend in power. Although Sun Quan has exerted all his strength, he can only slow down this trend, but he can't completely stop this trend. If he can take Jianghuai and Yuzhou, he will get more talents, and he will not be dominant in Jiangdong.

Sun Shao's words broke their psychological predity and led their eyes farther away. Sun Quan, Lv Meng and others were all smart people. They immediately found that this plan was superior to the original scheme, and naturally began to think about whether this plan had a feasible surname. Everyone is thinking about it, but no one pays attention to Sun Shao.

After a while, Sun Quan said with some regret, "It's just that our troops are insufficient, and the grain and grass are not well prepared enough. It's hard to say whether we can defeat Xiahou Dun. If we want to go further, it will be even more difficult."

"What the Supreme said is that we can still compete in the land of Jianghuai. When we get to the area of Yuzhou, it is the vertical and horizontal place of cavalry. Our cavalry are rare, and I'm afraid it is difficult to hold them. Once Cao Wei withdrew from Hanzhong, we had to give up the city that we had made great efforts to fight down. Lv Meng shook his head repeatedly: "The gain is not worth the loss."

Sun Quan raised his eyelids and looked at Sun Shao with complicated eyes: "Fengxian, do you have any good suggestions?"

"There are suggestions, but whether it's good or not, I dare not boast." Sun Shao smiled.

"Don't be modest. If you have any ideas, say it quickly. Let's discuss it." Sun Quan waved his hand anxiously and motioned Sun Shao to say quickly.

Sun Shao held it for a moment, and then said, "Guan Gong wants to solve the danger of Yizhou. He has to go all his strength to the north, and his troops are not enough. He still has to leave some people in Jiangling and the public security, which is nothing more than distrusting me in Jiangdong. Lu Hengjiang and Sun Duhu (Sun Jiao) have 20,000 soldiers. How can Guan Gong attack Xiangyang without any intention? In my opinion, Lu Hengjiang and Sun Du can protect a northward direction and jointly attack Xiangyang, which can help Guan Gong and reduce his suspicion. The two sides work together. Xiangyang and Fancheng can go down. Xiangyang and Fancheng can buy it. Nanyang County can attack Luoyang to the north and Xu County to the east. Can Cao Yan still feel at ease in Yizhou? The siege of Yizhou can be solved. At this time, Liu Bei was already lingering, and Guan Gong was also exhausted. They just wanted to betray their faith and plot against Jiangdong, but they didn't have this strength. My Jiangdong was still safe. If General Lu could defeat Xiahou Dun, Jianghuai would be in my hands. Even if Cao Wei comes to the army to fight, the first one to be brunted by the Guan Gong's department. We in Jiangdong can march and retreat calmly.

Although Sun Shao's plan is too idealistic, I have to say that it has a certain feasible surname. Sending Sun Gao or Lu Su to help Guan Yu attack Fancheng can not only relieve Guan Yu's worries and let him attack Cao Ren with all his strength, but also take the opportunity to attack the city and plunder the land. In this way, Lv Meng only has to face the Xiahou Dun Department. There is no need to consider the security of the western front. If necessary, he can also transfer Lu Su's troops to fight. When Cao Yan withdrew from Yizhou, Liu Bei was dying, and Guan Yu was in Nanyang again. They could no longer have the strength to attack Jiangdong.

The worst result of Jiangdong can also be obtained in the area of Jianghuai. Even if it is recited to the extreme point, that is, the teacher is useless, there will not be much loss. In the view of Sun Quan and Lv Meng, if Sun Shao can solve Qingxu Shuishi, it is not difficult to defeat Xiahou Dun under the condition of equal strength.

"So... how are you going to fight?" Sun Quan asked.

"Me?" Sun Shao patted his chest: "Of course, I will hit where the supreme points." He paused and said with some embarrassment, "However, the Zhendan sailors are mainly pirates, and I'm afraid that the land battle is not my master. I'm sure to fight the Qingxu sailors. When I get ashore, I'm afraid it's hanging. In addition, the Aurora Marine Division takes the building ship as the main combat force, and it is not suitable to enter the middle and sphor the water.

Sun Quan is angry and funny. You draw a big cake for your feelings, and then let others work hard. Are you hiding aside by yourself?

"If you don't enter the middle of the water, are you idle in the river? After playing Qingxu Shuishi, what else do you want to do?

"There are two plans." Sun Shao raised a finger and said, "First, I can go straight into the Han River to help attack Xiangyang and Fancheng."

Sun Quan didn't say anything. He thought that you were Guan Yu's son-in-law. You can't just want to fight for your father-in-law. What if you son-in-law join hands and Guan Yu wants to help you fight me? This can't work.

Seeing that Sun Quan did not speak, he knew that he would not agree, so he raised his second finger: "After defeating the Qingxu Water Division, I went out of the river and into the sea, attacked Qingzhou or Xuzhou, and shared some pressure for General Lv. If Qingxu is shocked and Jizhou is unstable, it is impossible for Cao Qian to look at it casually. It's just..." He hesitated for a moment and seemed uncertain: "In this way, I will fight alone, and it will be difficult to replenish the food and grass. In case of unfavorable war, even if the Supreme wants to reach out to help, it is out of reach. Therefore, I think it's better to guard the back road for General Lu in the river. No matter how bad it is, it's good to help transport military food.

Sun Quan and Lv Meng exchanged glances with each other, and no one said anything. Sun Quan turned his face and said to Sun Shao, "You just came back and you are tired. Go back and have a rest first. As for where you are fighting, I will discuss it with you again to see where it is best to arrange you, and then I will argue with you.

Sun Shao finished the cannon and achieved his goal. He didn't want to stay any longer, so he immediately saluted and left. As soon as he went out, Sun Quan said to the crowd seriously, "Gentlemen, I think this plan is quite promising. You might as well discuss it and see if you can seize this opportunity to seize Jianghuai and other places."

... Sun Shao went out of the door and turned right and went back to his general's mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he saw several people sitting in the hall. The bridge sat in the middle with a smile, and as soon as his loving eyes touched his face, they never moved away again. Guan Feng took her son's hand and sat aside, and her scorching eyes were full of lovesickness. Qiao Ying's mother and daughter couldn't help smiling. Sun Yuanying and Sun Xiuying were also looking at him with happy eyes.

Sun Shao came forward to salute one by one. Everyone took his hand and said a few words affectionately. Only his son looked at him strangely and hid behind the bridge and refused to see him. Guan Feng's voice was louder. He actually grinned and cried, which made everyone laugh.

Sun Shao was a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and said disappointedly, "This boy doesn't even know me."

"Who told you to fight outside all the time? I haven't come back for more than a year. My good grandson was still young at that time. How could I recognize you?" The bridge smiled and coaxed his grandson in his arms. He turned his face and smiled at Qiao Ying and said, "Let's see if they are here. If they come, inform the kitchen to have dinner. I'm afraid they are already hungry."

Sun Shao curled his lips sourly: "My mother still knows that I'm hungry. I thought you only cared about your grandson and forgot my son."

"Aren't you too? After marrying his wife, he forgot his mother. Sun Xiuying giggled, greeted Sun Shao, squeezed her eyes, and winked at Guan Feng. Guan Feng lowered her head in embarrassment. Sun Shao was puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, there was another noise outside. Xiaoqiao walked in quickly accompanied by Zhou Yu. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Ha ha ha, it was originally the general back. No wonder it was so lively. Yo, isn't this the eldest sister and third sister of the Sun family? Are you also here?

Sun Xiuying has a good relationship with the bridge, but she often comes here, but Sun Yuanying rarely returns home. After Gu Shao's death, her son Gu Tan also became old. With his own studies, she was also very lonely and could only find two sisters to spend time. Later, I heard from Sun Xiuying that the bridge cared about her very much. In addition, after Lu Ji arrived at Sun Shao's side, the situation was good, and Mrs. Lu's attitude towards her was also much kinder. Therefore, this time, Sun Xiuying received a notice from the bridge that Sun Shao was back, so she went to Gu's house to ask her out. She also followed her, which surprised the bridge.

"My aunt's words are not right. We are also from the Sun family. Why can't we come?" Sun Xiuying and Xiaoqiao's mother and daughter are very familiar and unforgiving. They took Zhou Yu's hand and said, "It's Xiao Yuer's sister. I heard that I will be Aden's wife in the future. Although this appointment has not been made, I still need to pay more or less attention to it. My Aman is a mouthless person. Don't say anything to provoke Sister Yu. That's not appropriate."

Zhou Yu glanced at her and refuted: "Sister's words are not right. I came to see my aunt with my mother. What gossip can I say? It's not kind of my sister to talk like this.

"You two quarrel as soon as you meet. Can you have a time when you don't fight?" Daqiao said antonishly, "Today is a good day to go home first. Are you going to eat first and then bickering, or are you going to eat after fighting on an empty stomach?"

"Of course, you fight while eating." Sun Xiuying and Zhou Yu said in one voice.

Sun Shao was confused: "Third sister, what did you just say that Ah Yu is going to marry Ah Deng?"

"Don't you know?" Sun Xiuying reached out and twisted Sun Shao's nose like when she was a child, and said with a smile, "Now you regret it. It's too late to regret it." You are really unlucky for such a good woman.

Sun Shao looked at Zhou Yu with a gloomy face. He didn't mean to regret at all, but wanted to laugh. The Zhou family and the Sun family are really ceded, and the reason is still chaotic. Zhou Xun was favored by Sun Luban. When he reached the marriageable age, he dared not marry first. Zhou Yu was favored by Sun Deng again. He can't marry at that age. This is really crushes people to death at the first level of official rank. He looked back at Zhou Yin and squeezed his eyes: "A Yin, is there any woman in the office who like you?"

"Uh-huh--" Zhou Yin shook her head like a rattle, pulled Sun Shao aside and begged, "Brother, take me to war this time. I'm bored at home. It's rare for my eldest brother to go home, and he is also bored to read in the study when he comes home. Since the wedding, my little sister has rarely seen a smiling face all day long. Even my mother is in a bad mood, which makes me dare not laugh when I am a little happy alone.

"It's not so." Sun Shao joked, "This is the supreme favor to your Zhou family. In the future, one of your Zhou family will be a princess and the other will be a princess. You can't be undeveloped. Just wait for the hegemony."

Zhou Yin glanced at Sun Shao, who was laughing as usual, and his eyes were a little strange: "I said, are you pretending to be stupid or really stupid? Or do you have no conscience?"

"You're stupid. Am I wrong?" Sun Shao retorted.

"Then don't you have a good impression on Xiao Yuer at all?" Zhou Yin really doesn't understand Sun Shao's attitude.

"Who said that?" Sun Shao suddenly became a little strange: "What does this have to do with whether I like Xiao Yuer or not?"

"Pig brain." Zhou Yin jumped up, knocked on Sun Shao's head, and roared in a low voice, "My little Yuer doesn't want to be a princess. She only has you in her heart. Haven't you seen it?"

"Puff--" Sun Shao, who was about to fight back, didn't come up in one breath and coughed.
