The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 106 Little Lady.

"Your Excellency, why are you here?" Sun Shao stopped Yang Biao in front of him and didn't let him get out of the car. The old man came uninvited, so how to drink this wine and how to talk about it?

Yang Biao didn't say anything. He stood in the car. The two fingers of his left hand slowly twisted the tip of his beard and looked at Sun Shao condescendingly. His majestic eyes were not angry and arrogant. The two were silently deadlocked for a moment. Even if Sun Shao was used to being thick-skinned, he still couldn't resist Yang Biao's pressure, so he had to retreat to the side and stretched out his hand: "Big boss. People, please."

"Your Highness, don't you know my Han Law?" As Yang Biao walked in, he said in the tone of a lesson.

Sun Shao is inexplicable. Why does this still involve the law of the Han Dynasty? Dare to ask for advice."

"The law of the Han Dynasty, if more than three people get together to drink for no reason, they will be fined four taels." Yang Biao smiled and said, "I'm not going to drink for you. I'm thinking about your purse."

Sun Shao laughed angrily, but he didn't expect that Yang Biao, who had always been known for his majesty, would also joke. He pinched his nose and said with a wry smile, "But my lord, my glass of wine is more than four taels of gold."

Yang Biao laughed. As soon as he smiled, Cao Pi and others greeted him. The smile on Yang Biao's face magically disappeared. He nodded with an old face, nodded, and walked in as if no one else. Sun Shao was accompanied, and Cao Pi, Zhuge Liang, Liu Ba and Zhang Wen could only follow and enter the main hall all the way. Yang Biao was not allowed to sit in the first place, Sun Shao sat in the chairman, and the others took the seats according to the order.

There is a saying in Jiangdong, "Gu Gong is at the table, and he is not happy to raise his seat", that is to say, Gu Yong is very serious. With him, everyone is not happy to drink. Yang Biao has a fight with Gu Yong on this point. He is as presumptuous as Sun Shao, and he dares not go too much, let alone others. After three rounds of drinking, Sun Shao saw that the atmosphere was dull, so he got up and toasted Yang Biao with a glass of wine to celebrate his birthday. Yang Biao took a sip. Before he put down the cup, he said with words, "King Yue is the youngest of the king with different surnames since I have been in the world. What do you think about this good time? All of you are the pillars of the country. You might as well spit it out quickly. Although Biao is old, he is also willing to encourage you.

As soon as Sun Shao's mouth was crooked, he knew that the old man would not go to the Three Treasures Hall. He was probably afraid that the four separatist forces would abandon the emperor and divide the world, so he rushed to destroy it. Now force him to take a stand in front of everyone, and then use him as a bargaining chip with others. Although the old man reads a lot of books, he is not pedantic and shrewd as a businessman.

"The old man has a destiny, and Shaoyan dares not say anything." Sun Shao raised his glass, drank it all, and then asked someone to drink another cup. He walked to Cao Pi, who was sitting at the top of the guest seat, and smiled, "Brother Zihuan."

Cao Pi quickly got up, raised his glass with a smile, and waited for Sun Shao to speak.

"Blessed is Cao Gong. He gave birth to several sons, all of whom are dragons and phoenixes." Sun Shao opened his mouth and praised first. Cao Pi smiled and was modest. Sun Shao waved his hand to let Cao Pi be modest, and then said, "My brother Cao Xiaolian is both literary and martial arts, and filial and benevolent. His younger brother Cao Cangshu is smart and benevolent. He is known as a prodigy. Unfortunately, the two gentlemen died early. However, Zihuan and Zijian's martial arts are outstanding. As the heroes of the world, Cao Gong must be gratified."

Cao Pi didn't know what Sun Shaola wanted to say. He just smiled and listened to the words quietly.

"However, among your brothers, what I admire most is not you, nor the brother Zijian who has never met, but brother Yanling Hou Ziwen. Do you know why?"

Cao Pi's face stiffened, and then he returned to normal. He thumped in his heart, and he thought that Sun Shao had an idea to let Cao Zhi, who was about to be out, suddenly rise up. Now do you like Cao Zhang again and want Cao Zhang to get involved? He was nervous, but there was nothing unusual on his face.

"For nothing else, just for the Battle of Yanling Hou Daibei, the Wuwan people fled to the wind, and the Xianbei people were scared and showed the prestige of our Han people."

Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said modestly, "I think Ziwen will be very happy to be praised by your Highness."

"Actually, this is the reason why I admire Cao Gong." Sun Shao smiled faintly, turned around and said to Zhuge Liang, Zhang Wen and others, "Four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, I don't know how many famous generals are. The country is Han Xin and Peng Yue in the country. There are Wei Huo in the Han Dynasty, and there are three Mings in the near future. However, what I, Sun Shao admire most is the Marquis Hu (Chen Tang) and Ding Yuanhou (Ban Chao). The one who breaks the Hu Marquis who violates my strong Han. Although it is far away, it will be killed. After 300 years of prestige, it still makes people's blood boil. The thirty-six Marquis of Dingyuan rode to the Western Regions, which made me admire him. With such a sage as an example, do we dare not work hard?

Yang Biao was very satisfied and praised: "The King of Yue's words are the true nature of my big man and good men."

He opened his mouth. How dare the others lag behind? He hurriedly praised it together. Sun Shao waved his hand and faced Cao Pi again: "Brother Zihuan, Yan Linghou is your brother. He can go on an expedition to the north and expel the alien race. You, as a brother, can't be compared with him."

Cao Pi knew that he would go around to his head in the end, and quickly said modestly, "I can't be with Ziwen..."

Before the last few words were said, Sun Shao interrupted him: "Zihuan, you can't say that. I don't think Cao Gong will want to pass the throne to a eldest son who is not as good as his brother."

Cao Pi suddenly changed his color. Sun Shao's words were too straightforward and directly interfered with his family affairs, not to mention that this was his heart disease. Sun Shao didn't think so and turned a blind eye to his face. He said to himself, "Zijianba County is showing off its power. It can share the same with the famous general Zhang Yide. Ziwen's ability in the north, and Wuwan and Xianbei people are frightened by the wind. Why don't you go out to the Western Regions and imitate the story of the distant marquis? Brother Zihuan, you are also full of literature and martial arts. Why don't you show it to others? Show it out a little and let others see it. This is a good man.

Cao Pi was speechless, but Sun Shao's words gave him a reminder. Yes, the reason why his father Cao Yan has never appointed him as his direct son, and recently moved his mind to Cao Zhi, isn't he just to find an heir who can be as clear as him? I'm not bad. Ziwen can defeat the Wuwan people. Why can't I defeat the Westerners? If I can defeat the Western Regions and integrate the Western Regions into the territory again, who else can doubt my ability?

Regardless of the feasible surname, at least this is a good suggestion, and it is worth going back to study. Cao Pi was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted: "Your Highness is right. We are right."

"I'm optimistic about you." Sun Shao patted Cao Pi on the shoulder angrily and drank it all. Cao Pi also drank it boldly and brightened the bottom of the cup.

Sun Shao filled another glass of wine and walked to Zhuge Liang: "Brother Kong Ming, goodbye to Chengdu. It has been three years in a trance. How have you been recently?"

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said in his heart that it was okay. He was cheated by your son-in-law. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, for your concern, everything is fine."

"Brother Kong Ming is an extremely smart person. With a famous general like my father-in-law and a wise man like you, Liu Shijun will definitely keep our southwest country stable."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "This is the duty of my ministers."

"However," Sun Shao's words turned around and shook his head and said with a smile, "When I was in Jiaozhou, I knew that the heart of the barbarians in the south of Yizhou was insufficient, and many people still disobued my Hanization. Since Brother Kong Ming assisted Liu Shijun to guard the southwest, he could not relax. If you can't catch it, I, Sun Shao, am willing to ask the emperor for an edict to expel him. I don't know if Brother Kong Ming thinks it's okay?

Zhuge Liang quickly shook his head and joked that he asked you to go to the southwest. Should he fight the barbarians for us or make trouble for us? Your Highness can rest assured that once the emperor gives an edict, Liu Shijun will definitely send troops to conquer and let those barbarians return to the king.

"Good job, I'm waiting for your good news in the East China Sea." After saying that, Sun Shao had a drink with Zhuge Liang, turned to Zhang Wen, raised his glass and signaled, "Brother Huishu, I know that Jiangdong has always had a headache for the matter of Shanyue. Is there any progress now?"

Zhang Wen hurriedly said, "Your Highness, don't worry, Sun Che rode to guard Jiangdong and has been committed to the expedition of Shanyue, and the progress is going smoothly."

Sun Shao nodded: "I don't know how long it will take to completely calm down? If you need help, I, the king of Yue, am duty-bound.

Zhang Wen stared at Sun Shao unhappily and said that you had conflicts with Sun Quan, but there was no need to push forward step by step in front of so many years, right? However, he still said happily, "As long as there is nothing wrong in the Central Plains, it must be solved within three or five years."

Sun Shao laughed, had a drink with Zhang Wen, returned to his seat, and said to Yang Biao, "My lord, you see, my big men are all good men with boldness, loyal ministers and righteous people who are loyal to the country. Cao Jun wants to level up the Western Regions, and Liu Shijun wants to conquer the barbarians in the south. My uncle wants to calm down Shanyue in three or five years. It seems that as long as the kings and ministers work together, my big man will not be far away.

Yang Biao smiled secretly, but nodded solemnly: "You are all generous people. This kind of pride is really touching. Although the old man can't fight in the battlefield with you, he is willing to make contributions to you with a bald pen. Please wait and see. Within a month, your lofty words and ambitions will be recited by the scholars of my great Han Dynasty.

Zhang Wen didn't react yet, but Cao Pi was shocked. Then Zhuge Liang also understood and was stunned. Originally, I thought it was just a drunken talk. Of course, the person who said it casually said it, and the listener didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect Yang Biao to play this again, and went online, directly taking this as their promise to all counties and counties in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Oh, my God, isn't that a trap for yourself? This civil war is not over yet. How can you have the intention to attack the outside world?

I was fooled by this old and little fox again.

Cao Pi's cold sweat came out. He was thinking that if this sentence reached Cao's ears, what would Cao's thought? Would he support him to go to the Western Regions, or did he say that he was talking nonsense and screwing things up? Zhuge Liang quickly reacted. He smiled and got up to salute Yang Biao and Sun Shao: "Your Highness, Your Excellency, my lord, the so-called name is not correct. If you don't speak well, you will be successful. Although Liu Shijun is willing to fight for the country, if the northern part of Yizhou has not been completely settled, even if he wants to march to the south, he is willing but not strong enough. His Royal Highness the King of Yue and the old master were invited to speak to the emperor and edict Cao Gong to withdraw from Hanzhong. I dare to swear to heaven here that the stability of the northern part of Yizhou is that Liu's envoy sent troops to the south.

Sun Shao praised that Zhuge Liang was smart. As soon as the topic changed, it became a request for Hanzhong, and it was just righteous. As for how many people Liu Bei will send to the south after Han Zhongzhen gives it to him, God knows.

Yang Biao glanced at Zhuge Liang and thought that this young man was slippery. He thought for a little: "Are you a descendant of the Ge family in Zhucheng?"

"Exactly."

"Who are you, Zhuge Xuan?"

"It's my uncle."

"Oh." Yang Biao nodded: "In those years, Uncle Liu was the governor of Yuzhang. When the watch was sent to the court, I dealt with it."

Zhuge Liang was very depressed. How did he get this to this, but he had to show his respect: "It turned out that it was Yang Gong who did it. It's really lucky."

"Uncle Zun is ordinary, but he is a loyal minister. Because Liu Biao's appearance came too late, the court appointed Zhu Hao as the governor of Yuzhang. Although Uncle Zun was wronged, he never complained and willingly abandoned the official. Now that I think about it, I still feel a little guilty.

Zhuge Liang was embarrassed. Yang Biao's words were swearing, but he had no choice but to bear it and had to say it nicely: "As a big man's minister, it should be like this."

"Hmm." Yang Biao raised the glass in his hand and said faintly, "Of course, the matter of Yizhou needs to be solved. The king of Yue and I are invited to come to Wancheng to discuss together. Don't we hope that we can solve these disputes without a knife and soldiers? You can rest assured that as long as everyone is loyal to the king, the most suitable solution can be found for all contradictions. King Yue said that to share the benefits of the world, only in line with the interests of more people, is the real great benefit.

Cao Pi and others heard Yang Biao's meaning. He is the representative of the emperor. When he said so, it means that the emperor has acquiesced in their intention to divide the world. What they want to talk about is how to divide it up. Although the strength of the emperor is limited, and Sun Shao's strength is also limited, their tendency is also a factor that cannot be ignored when it comes to tripartite checks and balances.

They exchanged a look at each other and left the table to salute: "I will obey the orders of the king of Yue and the old lord, and I will do my best to serve your majesty."

Yang Biao laughed with satisfaction, and this uninvited purpose was achieved. He has already typed the abdominal manuscript in his heart to ensure that these little verticals can't be blamed. Of course, it is impossible to solve all the problems, but it can more or less trap them. Even if they just mean it, they can reduce a lot of trouble. If they can do 30% of these words, the big man will have the opportunity to stop internal consumption and get rest and recuperation.

Yang Biao is very grateful to Sun Shao. If Sun Shao hadn't taken the initiative to cooperate with him to provoke the topic, and as an indispensable factor, it would not have been easy for him to make these three families make such a statement.

After drinking, Yang Biao excused to stop to taste tea and talked with Sun Shao secretly in the study. Sun Shao was helpless. He knew that Yang Biao was deliberately trying to make a good impression of their relationship in front of others, and he had some scruples when he asked others to find him again. But he has no other way. Besides, among the four kings in the world that will appear soon, he is the weakest. If he doesn't borrow Zhang Hupi, he will not be the opponent of the three families. Cao is a tiger, and the emperor is also a tiger. Although this tiger is useless, it is better than nothing.

"Your Highness is very loyal. Your Majesty will be very happy to know it." Yang Biao put away his smile and said sincerely.

Sun Shao smiled faintly: "My strength is limited, and that's all I can do."

Yang Biao was silent for a moment: "Your territory is smaller, and it is really difficult to develop in Sun Quan's elbow and armpits. What countermeasures do you have now? If you need my help, you can talk to me.

Sun Shao bowed and said, "Then I'll thank my lord first. I am very grateful that the old man can understand my difficulties. To tell you the truth, except for hundreds of ships and more than 10,000 sail troops, I only have this prince of the King of Yue. However, I believe that with the wisdom of your majesty and the wisdom of the old lord, we will be able to overcome all the difficulties and see the hope of the rise of the Han Dynasty.

Yang Biao sighed: "I hope so. How long can the fire of the big man last? To be honest, I don't know it in my heart. It's just doing my best and obeying to fate. The saint said, knowing that we can't do it, we are a little better than him, at least there is a little hope. It's just that I'm old and my legs and feet are not good. Who knows which day I will fall asleep and never wake up again. Fengxian, you are young and have such talent. Just like Cao Mengde in those years, you are a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times. I hope you can be the former, not the latter. In that case, my big man may really have a chance to ZTE.

Sun Shao sweated, how did he take on such an important task? He is doing this now just to get out of trouble. For the good luck of the Han Dynasty, he is not absent. After all, he used to be proud of a Han man, but the current sense of pride is far from the need for survival. He has solved the survival crisis. He does not object to making some contributions to the Han Dynasty, but he should work for the Han man regardless of his own safety. To be honest, he It's not that great.

Guan Yu may be able to do it, but he can't. The principle he believes in is to repay virtue with virtue and directly to repay resentment. Whoever treats him well, he will be good to him. Whoever wants to kill him, he will ruthlessly retaliate, whether you are an uncle or a son of heaven.

He is not the kind of person who is selfless and repays grievances with virtue, or simply, he doesn't like the practice of repaying grievances with virtue very much. In his opinion, this logic is absurd, the extravagant hope of the weak, and the dog truth for the tiger. Just like what the Buddha said, "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha in an upright way", put down the fuck put down the butcher knife. It is smoother to become a Buddha than those who have never taken a butcher's knife. Isn't killing a shortcut to becoming a Buddha?

I don't believe in repaying grievances with virtue. I only believe in tooth for tooth and eye for eye.

"Shao tries his best."

"Just try your best." Yang Biao did not force him. He also knew that it was not easy for Sun Shao to speak so seriously. He had a hippie smile in front of the emperor and did not pay attention to royal dignity at all. But he also knew that if anyone in the four forces of the big Han still has some feelings for the big man, it would be the youngest and weakest Yuewang.

Yang Biao was silent for a moment and changed the topic and said, "You said you were going to the East China Sea?"

"Yes." Sun Shao nodded: "Sun Cheqi and Liu Yizhou's messengers have arrived in Wancheng, and the problems inside the Cao family are also very clear. I believe that with the old man's means, they will definitely get a relatively satisfactory result. I have a limited role here. It's better to go to the East China Sea to help the old man. Maybe I can help a little.

Yang Biao nodded slightly. As Sun Shao said, the three parties began to talk, and the rest was bargaining. Sun Shao's strength was too weak. It was better to let him go to the East China Sea to develop. He pondered for a moment: "But as soon as you leave, who will print the manuscript for me?"

"I can give that workshop to the old man." Sun Shao looked at Yang Biao with a smile. Yang Biao took a look at him and said with a smile, "If you don't get credit, I can't afford it."

Sun Shao laughed and laughed at himself, "I know I can't hide it from the old man, so let's go straight. I want the old man to ask the emperor to give an edict. I have the right to dock in the port along the coast of the Han Dynasty. The sea is ten miles away from the coast, which is the land of my king of Yue.

"You have too much mind, don't you?" Yang Biao smiled cunningly.

"Why don't the emperor change a fief for me." Sun Shao said, "Cao Gongfengyi is Wei County, and he leads Jizhou Mu. If there is no accident, Liu Bei should take Yizhou Mu. My uncle also leads Yangzhou Mu. However, I, the king of Yue, only have Yue County, and I don't receive a single state. What do you want me to feed my subordinates? If I don't have the strength, how can I work for the emperor?

Yang Biao thought for a moment: "Do you want to deal with Qingxu Shuishi? This is not very good. I'll talk about it here, and you will start the civil war on your side?"

Sun Shao smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will never cause trouble to you. I can handle this measure."

"It's okay. I can ask the emperor to give an edict, but I can't guarantee whether Cao and the others can agree."

"As long as the emperor makes an edict, I'll talk about it myself." Sun Shao pointed to his nose with a smile: "Don't forget, my lord, I'm a businessman, and bargaining is my ability."

"Alas." Yang Biao sighed, "Why did I accidentally ask the emperor to make a merchant king? It's really dizzy."

After saying that, he couldn't help laughing. Sun Shao also smiled. The old and the young look at each other, and the more they laugh, the happier they are. If Yang Xiu had been present, he would have doubted whether he had drunk too much, because he had never laughed like this, even at home.

Yang Biao said and believed that he asked the emperor to give an edict that the sea in the territory of the Han Dynasty, ten miles away from the coast, is the territory of the king of Yue. After receiving the imperial edict, Sun Shao went to Cao Pi first. Cao Pi pondered a little. Although he did not reply to Sun Shao immediately, he promised to explain to Cao Wei. When Cao Qian received the report, he didn't think too much and immediately agreed that he didn't have any sailors. Qingxu's nominally belonged to him. In fact, it was forbidden by Zang Ba and others. Sun Shao wanted it and just gave it to him. Anyway, he didn't lose anything. He wrote back to Cao Pi and asked him to agree to Sun Shao's request. Of course, he could not give it for nothing. He wanted to ask Sun Shao for benefits. Cao Pi understood and bargained with Sun Shao. Unfortunately, he was not Sun Shao's opponent in business at all. Sun Shao fooled him, and then gave him a car of ivory, rhinoceros horn, jade and other South China Sea specialties to deal with him.

After the business discussion, Cao Pi took Sun Shao and said mysteriously, "Well, let's get married. The Xin Xianying you like has been married. I can't help it, but that Xia Houhui, I can make all your wish come true.
