Chapter 28 The Bereavement Dog

"What are you doing?" Mu Zhiqiu's eyes were wide open angrily, and Xiaoyuan's face turned red with anger. He took a step in front of Yan Feiyan and opened his arms, like a hen protecting the chicks. She was not afraid of Sun Shao standing in front of her. Yan Feiyan, who was several years older than her, dared to hide behind her angrily.

"Hee hee..." The more Sun Shao looked at it, the more interesting it was, and he couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand to stop Ao Lei, who wanted to rush up to clean up Mu Zhiqiu. He raised the portrait in his hand and said solemnly, "Little girl, do you know who this is?"

"It's you!" Mu Zhiqiu didn't think about it: "It was shot by my young lady."

What is shot is the arrow target. Mu Zhiqiu said something, and then he remembered that he couldn't speak. He subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, and his original awe-inspiring expression became a little flustered. Although she is the daughter of Mu's father, she was born in Yizhou and grew up in Yizhou. She is far more familiar with Yizhou than Wu County. Yi people are heavy witches, and this portrait is a kind of curse. Cursing people is very vicious, and there are often armed fights between tribes. Although she doesn't know how old Yue is, it is she witnessed that two thousand people of He Da's neatly beat away from Wa'an.

Two thousand people are so at stake. What will those ten thousand people look like? Mu Zhiqiu couldn't imagine it in her small head. All she knew was that it must be terrible.

"Aren't your young lady going to shoot me a few arrows every day?" Sun Shao touched his nose and stared at Mu Zhiqiu quietly. He saw that Mu Zhiqiu was flustered and retreated as if he was not free.

"No... it's not my young lady, it's... it's... I shot it." Mu Zhiqiu stammered a few words, and finally raised his head stubbornly.

"I shot it." Yan Feiyan's face turned pale, pushed aside Mu Zhiqiu and stood up.

"Did you shoot it?" Sun Shao raised his eyebrows and showed that frivolous smile. He looked at Yan Feiyan, who was forced to be calm, and suddenly smiled and said, "Have you seen the people of Daqin in Dongye?"

"People of Daqin?"

"You must have seen it." Sun Shao made a sudden realization and said affirmatively, "The legend of the Qin people said that there is a child among the gods, with bare buttocks, a pair of wings, and shooting everywhere with golden bows and arrows. The person hit by him will become a couple, no matter how far away they are, even if... even across the boundless sea."

Yan Feiyan began to hear inexplicably. After hearing it, she understood that Sun Shao was still flirting with her, and she was so angry that she bit her silver teeth. However, she was relieved to see that Sun Shao did not take the opportunity to make a go. After the initial righteous indignation went away, she began to remember the responsibility on her shoulders. In order for Baihuzhai to survive, she could only swallow her anger now.

"What if two men or two women are shot?" Mu Zhiqiu was convinced. He poked his head out from behind Yan Feiyan, and his two big and round eyes looked at Sun Shao curiously.

"That's troublesome." Sun Shaoqiang suppressed his smile: "If both of them are men, that's broken sleeves. If they are both of them, then... just like you." He pointed to Mu Zhiqiu and Yan Feiyan, who were close to each other, and stopped talking.

Mu Zhiqiu turned his eyes and suddenly understood. He quickly shook his head and said, "We are just good sisters, but not... It's not that... She squeaked for a long time, but she couldn't say the following words. Her little face turned red, like two red apples.

"Hahaha..." Sun Shao couldn't help laughing.

At the banquet, Yan Feiyan, the owner of the village, refused to speak because she had just been teased by Sun Shao. Mu's father and Lei Zi had to act on behalf of the master. They toasted Sun Shao and others, thanked Sun Shao for his generosity, and then expressed polite words such as poor hospitality. Sun Shao doesn't care. Although Baihuzhai is very famous, the economic situation is really not optimistic. What he can do is a monkey head soup. Unfortunately, as soon as he saw the monkey head soup, he thought of the civet. He reluctantly tasted it and didn't want to try again. On the contrary, He Da and others were full of praise for this, and they were very satisfied to make another big pot.

After drinking the self-brewed fruit wine, Sun Shao got up and went back to his camp, leaving Gu Tan and Yan Feiyan to bargain. Sun Shao gave Baihuzhai a large piece of good land. Gu Tan and others did not understand. They felt that Baihuzhai was almost finished now. If Sun Shao hadn't rescued them, they would have destroyed the whole army. At this time, they should have surrendered, not the alliance. How could they be given so many benefits? Sun Shao didn't think so. He told Gu Tan that we had just arrived in Yizhou. Although we had done a lot of preparations in the early stage, after all, we didn't have much contact with the locals. If we want to gain a firm foothold, it would be much more convenient to have Baihuzhai. Those barbarians are hidden in the mountains and forests. If they are good, they will fight. If they are unfavorable, they will leave. When can they be cleared? He Da, they are at stake, but if we want to occupy the whole Yizhou by force, do we have so many troops? In this case, of course, it is the most convenient to lure them. Isn't it beneficial for both sides to lure them out with a few pieces of land? We are not here to rob land and be farmers. You should always remember this. The land is to be planted, but we don't plant it ourselves, but to find ways to let others grow it, and then let them happily sell us the grain, or... give it to us.

Although Gu Tan has reservations about Sun Shao's practice, he also knows that the Yi people are scattered in the mountains. With more than 10,000 of them, it is impossible to kill them all. Think about Jiangdong. From Sun Jian to Sun Quan, it has been 30 years, and the people of Shanyue have not gone to the root. The most urgent thing is that it is indeed a better way to induce. Since it is seductive, Baihuzhai is of course the first target.

Gu Tan is very fine and a little cruel. Sun Shao has never let him stand alone, because he likes to count the other party as unable to live. This seems to maximize the benefits, but it is also easy to create conflicts. Now he has drawn the scope and let Gu Tan talk about it again, so that Gu Tan will not force Bai Huzhai to have no way to survive.

Competition with Gu Tan, from Yan Feiyan to Mu's father and Lei Zi all understood that it was more comfortable to deal with Sun Shao. Gu Tan was so shrewd that he didn't even need to calculate. He dialed his fingers and calculated the account of Baihuzhai clearly. You have less than a thousand people in total now. You can't grow a thousand hectares of good land by yourself, and you can't finish the food you grow. Is it bad? Well, we provide new farming technology, advanced agricultural tools, and a large number of cattle. If necessary, we can also help you with production, but you have to sell the produced grain to us. Don't worry, we don't treat you badly. In addition to the advance of farm tools, cattle and so on, we can also buy your endless food at a preferential price to ensure that you will neither be hungry nor wasteful.

The benefits are over, and the disadvantages are finally. If we don't cooperate, we won't force it, but if something happens in the future, we will also stand by and watch. At this time, Yan Feiyan realized that Sun Shao's generosity was not entirely kind. Can they keep such a good platform without the protection of Sun Shao? If you don't give it to her at the beginning, it's fine. Now it's given to her, and then let her spit it out, she is reluctant to give up the people. Yan Feiyan thought about it and agreed to Gu Tan's request helplessly. She hated Sun Shao to the bone, but she could not show it on her face, otherwise it would have the meaning of revenge.

Just as Gu Tan and Yan Feiyan were calculating accounts, Sun Shao ordered Cui Qian to occupy Jingua Mountain.

There are some cottages in Jingua Mountain, which were built by the Yi people led by Wa'an. Wa'an was defeated by He Da in the First World War, and the other Yi people were also scattered like birds and beasts. Cui Qian was originally the king of the mountain and had a good idea of building villages. He didn't like the grass nests built by those Yi people at all. He ordered them to be demolished, and then re-planned and relying on the mountains and rivers. Start preparing with the attitude of building a city. Sun Shao came prepared. In addition to more than 10,000 sailors, there were many craftsmen and merchants. The craftsmen began to build kilns to burn bricks, cut down trees and trees. The merchants began to buy mountain goods from the nearby Yi people and sell the exquisite items brought by them, such as the shortage of living utensils, rare objects, beautiful silk fabrics, and even a small amount of weapons. Of course, the prices here are also very different. Ordinary living utensils are sold very cheaply, but weapons are at sky-high prices. Not many weapons have been sold, but the reputation of Yue's sharp swords has slowly spread.

Wa'an rushed to Luming Village, 20 miles away from Jingua Mountain, and Black Bank, the owner of Luming Village, personally went out of the village to welcome Wa'an.

Black Bank is not tall, but very slender. A faint scar crosses the lips from the forehead to the chin, so the thick lips look a little distorted. Two big gold earrings make his earlobes much longer than others. Hei'an is a good friend of Wa'an. Many years ago, they fought a bad battle. Later, the two of them fought alone. Wa'an won a better. From then on, Hei'an subdued him and married his widow to Wa'an, which was regarded as a relative. His sister died five years ago, but his friendship with Waan has not diminished.

As soon as he saw Waan's awkwardness, Black Bank was shocked and asked about the reason while letting him in.

Waan's face was heavy. He looked at the Black Bank for a long time and jumped the Black Bank in a hurry. Then he sighed: "I'm in big trouble."

"What's the trouble?" When Hei'an saw that Waan finally opened his mouth, he asked impatiently.

"This land will no longer be ours in the future." Waan sighed, lowered his head, put his hands together to cover his face, and sighed.

"Isn't it ours?" Hei Hei'an was stunned for a moment and smiled: "What's wrong with you? I heard that you took thousands of people to fight the White Tiger Village. You not only occupied the gold mine, but also robbed the White Tiger Lady as your wife. Why did it suddenly become like this?

"The reinforcements came from the White Tiger Village." Waan raised his head and said, "I was just unprepared and defeated by their reinforcements."

"Replying?" Hei'an smiled before he said anything, but his smile was more ugly than crying: "Who is so bold to support Baihuzhai?"

He said boldly, but he was surprised in his heart. He knows that within a hundred miles, there is no strength to surpass him. In addition, with so many followers, his subordinates should be more than 4,000 people. It should be said that no one dares to provoke him at this time to rescue Baihuzhai. What's more, Baihuzhai is still an outsider. Although he has been in Yizhou for nearly 30 years, he has been with the local tribes. They hold the distance and build a fortress to protect themselves. In the eyes of the Yizhou people, they are always outsiders. Who will help outsiders and Wa'an do it right?

But Wa'an's awkward appearance clearly showed that Wa'an did suffer a fiasco, and Hei'an became more and more curious about the reinforcements of the White Tiger Village.

"A guy who claims to be the king of Yue." Wa'an looked at the few people next to him. Hei Bank looked at it and drove the people next to him out. Then he muttered, "So, isn't it so simple for these people to help Baihuzhai? Does he still have to stay here for a long time?

Waan nodded.

Black Bank is silent. He heard from the old people that this land used to be the land of the State of Yue. The King of Yue came from the other side of the sea a long time ago, sitting in a big boat like a mountain. They all held sharp short swords, armor that could not be shot, and sharp arrows, just like gods. Although Lumingzhai is relatively far from the sea, the Black Bank knows that it is very risky to cross the sea and reach the distant continent. It is not only necessary to endure hunger and hunger, but also to be angry with the sea god all the time. Those who can travel safely on the sea are blessed by the sea god. This is why an outsider in Baihuzhai can be safe in Yizhou. The reason why they have been here for more than 20 years - they come and go freely on the sea.

This time, because of the ** of the gold mine, Wa'an incited several large tribes to attack the White Tiger Village and once came to find the Black Bank. The Black Bank did not agree. He felt that it was too risky to attack the White Tiger Village blessed by Nephen. Although the gold was very attractive, it was not worth it to anger the Sea God for gold. Some time ago, he heard that Wa'an was progressing smoothly. He not only got the gold mine, but also beat Baihuzhai so much that he dared not go out. He was still a little confused and thought he had read it wrong, but when he saw Waan today, he felt very happy.

Baihuzhai is blessed by the god of the sea, so what about this king of Yue? Black Bank hesitated. Although Baihuzhai is an outsider, they have little impact on others except for occupying Jilong Mountain. The king of Yue is different. If he wants to pocket all the land like the last king of Yue, so that they can become his people and worship his own blood and sweat to him, then Black Bank will weigh his weight. If he really has that strength, he has to bow his head in the face of death. What if he doesn't have that strength? You can't be so confused by him.

"How many people are there in this Yuewang?"

"I don't know, it's a large area of black pressure." Waan curled his lips and said in a provocative tone, "I sent people to the seaside to have a look. There are many big boats, and I can't count them."

"Is there a mountain-like boat?" Black Bank was shocked.

"How can there be a mountain-like boat?" Waan shook his head and disdained.

"Oh." Hei'an breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly remembered something: "Did they arrive in the days when the sea god was angry?"

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Waan's eyes. He wanted to provoke the Black Bank, but he could not scare the Black Bank, so he deliberately did not mention the time when Sun Shao's ship landed. Unexpectedly, the Black Bank still found it. He had to nod: "When I saw him, it was the second day after the sea god was angry. However, I thought they might have arrived a few days ago, but they didn't dare to go ashore immediately."

Black Bank was very unhappy. He heard some problems from Waan's words, and Waan seemed to be fooling him.

"So, the king of Yue, like the people of Baihuzhai, are blessed by Neptune?"

"No." Waan shook his head firmly and vetoed: "If they were the people blessed by the god of the sea, why would the god of the sea break his ship?" He said and asked his men to bring a boat board and throw it in front of the Black Bank: "This is their ship. Look, Nepness smashed his boat. How can it still bless him?"

Black Bank looked at the boat board and thought for a long time, and finally believed Wa'an's words. He looked up at Wa'an: "What are you going to do?"

"This king of Yue is inexplicable, and I don't know where he came from. First, he killed our people, and then occupied the land where our ancestors lived. To be our king, are we so easy to bully?" Wa'an said angrily, "Although I have lost a lot of people, I won't be his dog. I came to you this time to ask for your help, unite with other stockades, and drive the king of Yue to the sea to sacrifice to the god of the sea."

Black Bank was not so excited. He shook his head and said, "You have just suffered a loss. Let's rest for a while. I'm going to send an invitation to the other stockades and ask them to discuss it together. This time it's not a matter of two stockades. It's the business of all of us. We have to enter together and retreat together, so that we won't be in chaos.

Waan is a little unhappy, but he is not strong enough now, otherwise he would not have come to the Black Bank. He hesitated for a long time, so he had to agree to Black Bank. While resting in Luming Village, he and on the same time, he and Black Bank jointly invited the nearby Baili Village to come to discuss the discussion.

Sun Shao stood on Jingua Mountain, looked at the golden ravine, and couldn't help laughing. He never thought that there would be such a good thing that he could bend over to pick up gold.

"Your Majesty, when will you start collecting gold?" Wei Xiu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and finally opened his mouth to Sun Shao. This time, he set out from Qiantang with a large number of cargo ships and came to Yizhou together. Although he lost several small cargo ships in the storm, the overall loss was not big. Especially when he saw the gold-paved ravine in front of him, his eyes were full of golden light. In this way, as long as Sun Shao asked him to dig a boat of soil, he would make a lot of money. But what made him feel strange was that Sun Shao had not ordered mining, but was busy building the city, as if he was ready to live here for a long time.

"Gold mining?" Sun Shao smiled and said, "We don't have enough manpower. Some of the sailors have to go out to the sea to fish, and some have to build the city. Where do the people come from to collect gold? It depends on the sailors you brought?"

Wei Xiu didn't dare to say anything. He really thought so. He had secretly sent people to try it. These golden sands are good, and they don't need too many people to have a considerable income. However, he heard that Sun Shao had no intention of mining recently, so he had to hide his mind so as not to make Sun Shao feel that he was too greedy. The way to make money.

"Is the king going to build a city here?" Wei Xiu changed the topic.

"Yes, I want to build a city here." Sun Shao pointed to the distance: "Not only do I want to build a city here, but I also want to build more cities, and the whole Yizhou needs to have a city."

"That amount of work is not small." Sheng Gu stroked his beard and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we can't build a city without two years. If you want to build it, it's a small castle at most. The garrison is okay. If you really want to become a city, I'm afraid it's impossible without ten or eight years.

"As long as there is someone, it's possible." Sun Shao smiled and walked slowly down the mountain.

"Do you need to get the money back?" Sheng Gu quickly followed and said worriedly, "There are not many people in Yue. I'm afraid they won't be willing to come here. Besides, with so many people, the food consumed every day is very considerable. It is transported by sea ships alone. The price is too high. I'm afraid that half of this golden ditch will be dug up.

"From Qian Tang Yun people?" Sun Shao glanced at Sheng Gu and shook his head repeatedly: "That won't work. Prime Minister Yu and others won't agree."

Sheng Gu didn't say anything. Of course, he knew that Yu Fan would not agree. He transported people thousands of miles away, not to mention that the freight cost of this person and grain was very amazing. In the end, the gains were definitely not worth the losses. He frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't expect a good way to solve the problem, so he had to follow Sun Shao, hoping to hear his opinion.

Guan Chao hurried over, saluted Sun Shao, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the news of the scouts has come. Wa'an ran to Luming Village, and Hei'an, the head of Lu Mingzhai, is convening the nearby hundred miles of the stockade to discuss the matter. It seems that there is a big action."

"How many stockades are there in the nearby, and how many people in total?" Sun Shao remained calm, with his hands behind his back, and continued to move forward. As Guan Chao followed him, he said, "There are more than 30 villages in size, thousands of people in size, and a hundred people in size. In total, there must be one or twenty thousand people."

"Is it just such a little person?" Sun Shao was a little disappointed.

"There are not many people in the mountains." Guan Chao explained: "However, these barbaric people are very barbaric, and they will fight if they are beneficial, and leave if they are unfavorable. Once they have a grudge, they will never die. If..."

Guan Chao stopped the topic and didn't go on, but his worried look was shown.

"You are worried that we can win, but we may not be able to anniper all of them. Will there be endless disasters?"

Guan Chao nodded. He was worried about it. Although Sun Shao brought more than 10,000 people this time, including 2,000 elite soldiers who are good at mountain jungle warfare, but Yizhou is so big that they run away if they can't win. When can you clean it up?

"No hurry." Sun Shao smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that they will come, I'm afraid that they won't come, I'm not afraid that there are many of them, I'm afraid that there are fewer of them, and the more they come, the better. It's better for all the people in Yizhou to come, so I'm happy."

"Does the king want to gather and anniperate it?" Guan Chao had an idea.

"Junish it? Why did you annik it? Sun Shao repeatedly shook his head: "I am the king of Yue. They are my people. Why should I kill people for no reason? I want to have a good talk with them. By the way, Guan Chao, you go to Father Mu and ask him to pick a few who are both Yi language and Chinese. It is useful for negotiation.

Negotiation? Not only Guan Chao was stunned, but Sheng Gu behind him was also stunned. What did he have to talk about with those barbarians? Let's talk about it with the duck. There is still a saying about leaving Baihuzhai. Anyway, most of the people in Baihuzhai are from the Wuyue area. What are the Yi people? They are savages, and they are completely different from the Vietnamese. There is no similarity. It is far more convenient to negotiate with them than to use a sword.
