Chapter 6 Grand Ren

Looking at the Tianzhu people who were being driven by the leather whip to build the city, the Wen people and the Qi people were shocked. In their eyes, the Tianzhu people were more powerful than the Funan people. Although Zhu Luo Shuishi was defeated by the Funan Shuishi, the battle was near Dunxun, thousands of miles away from here. Zhu Luo Shuishi's defeat was because the front line was too long. The supply couldn't keep up, so Fan Man seized the opportunity and hit him. If it's a tough competition, it's hard to say who can laugh in the end. This time, King Feroz of Zhuluo took Pandia and Zheluo to go on an expedition together. His strength increased a lot compared with the last war with Funan, but Sun Shao still won neatly and won with a dignified victory. If there is still a conspiracy in it, it is just a conspiracy to annihire the Tianzhu people.

Looking at it this way, Fan Man lost all the way. It's not bad luck. He is not Sun Shao's opponent at all.

"I'm going to build a city here. Do you think it's okay?" Sun Shao rode his red rabbit horse from afar and stopped in front of two messengers who used to be enemies but now looked more harmonious than his own brothers. He took the reins in one hand and gently tapped his thigh with a whip in the other, and said with a smile on his face. However, what he said was not negotiable at all, just telling. The red rabbit horse was spraying, and the four bowls of big hooves kicked the earth uneasily. The dust was flying. The two messengers choked and narrowed their eyes, but they did not dare to raise their hands to cover their noses.

This used to be the land of the Shau people, but now it is the sphere of influence of the people. The changes in the middle are caused by the change of strength. Now Sun Shao is the strongest. If he wants to build a city here, he does not need to give a notice to the people of the people of the people.

The two messengers looked at each other, and Yong Wujiang asked carefully, "Is the king going to station here?"

"We need to station troops." Sun Shao nodded, and the horse turned around. The horse's tail swept over the faces of the two messengers, and his hoofs almost kicked them, which scared them to take a step back at the same time. Speaking of which, whether it's the Huns or the Huns, they are all Yue people. They are all of the same origin as their ancestors. What's so difficult to discuss? Do they have to fight to the death? I really can't bear to see you fight again, so I want to persuade you to make up and build a city here. First, let the merchants have a place to rest, and there will be one more way for your goods in the future. Second, I want to mediate nearby, so as not to have tens of thousands of troops coming and going every time.

After saying this, Sun Shao had turned around and faced Yong Wujiang again. He turned his back to the sun, and the golden sun shone on his golden armor and set him with a gold edge. Compared with this brilliant golden light, his face was hidden in the dark and could not be seen clearly. He was originally taller than Yong Wujiang, and now he is sitting on a tall horse, which is even tall and powerful. When he speaks, he can hear even a little hypocritical kindness, but as soon as he closes his mouth, his whole body shows invisible pressure, which makes Yong Wujiang feel a chill involuntarily.

Sun Shao explained so clearly that he gave them a great face. If he didn't recognize it at this time, there would be nothing to say later. Yong Wujiang gritted his teeth and thought that the land could not be taken back anyway. It's better to be happy and make a blank favor. In the future, he will be close to the big tree of Sun Shao. If he is behind the man, the man should also be a little worried.

"The king defeated the Tianzhu sailor this time and helped me solve foreign problems in the country. I am very grateful and made a legitimate contribution. It's a great honor for the king to build a city here. The ministers of the small country look forward to the king's grace, just as urgent as the vegetation longs for the light of the sun.

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He wanted to resist, but he weighed his strength. I'm afraid he was not the opponent of Yue. Besides, this time he colluded with Zhu Luo people, and the handle was still in Sun Shao's hands. If Sun Shao was unhappy, it was completely possible to unite with Shan to destroy the Qi people. Up to now, there is no way to accept it. Who can't twist his arm on his thigh? Thinking of this, he had to suppress his anger and insincerely agreed.

Xia Hourong, who arrived later, also strangled the rope and said with a loud smile, "Your Majesty, since Shan and Qi people are so eager for the grace and glory of the king, why don't this city be called Yangon City?" It's also good to remind the king to give his subjects more rain and dew luster and less thunder.

"Yangon?" Sun Shao raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled. He pointed to Yong Wujiang with a whip and said, "What do you think?"

Yong Wujiang didn't dare to say no. He hurriedly said it was good.

"Yes, although the name was said by You Quan, it was initiated by you. I'm very happy to leave a house for you in the city. Remember to come and live there often. Sun Shao said generously. Yong Wujiang was stunned, and then he was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Someone was responsible for the next negotiation. Sun Shao asked Yang Xiu to be in charge, and then walked side by side with Xia Hourong, gradually moving away along the beach. Xia Hourong thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is really generous. He rewarded me with a house with a polite word. Then what I proposed is to reward me with a house?"

Sun Shao turned his head and looked at him, picked up the corners of his mouth, and smiled relaxedly: "Are you coming? If you come, I'll give you a city, and the whole city of Yangon is yours.

Xia Hourong also turned his head to look at Sun Shao and shook his head with a smile: "Your Majesty is not sincere. If the country has no merit, it will not be paid. Can we be worth a city in one word? The king is clearly a joke.

"It's You Quan who is joking. Why do you bite back?" Sun Shao grabbed Ma Jiang, lowered his head and was silent for a moment. When he raised his head again, he had become very serious: "You Quan, have you seen everything you want to see?"

"Although it's incomplete, it's almost done." Xia Hourong did not smile. He looked at Sun Shao sincerely and said solemnly, "I will definitely convey the king's heart to the king of Wei and several princes. I will do my best not to let the State of Wei become Tianzhu, and not to let the Han become Tianzhu.

"Well, young and intelligent, really know my heart." Sun Shao turned his horse's head and looked at the western sky: "Tianzhu used to be a powerful empire, but now even I can bully him? Why? It's because of their internality. The same is true of me. As long as we don't have disputes and look further, we can get ten times the benefits. But if we all focus on the places in the Central Plains and kill each other, I'm afraid that we can't even keep these places in the end, and even a little blood of my descendants in China will be very dangerous. Youquan, the Hu people are not of our race. Their hearts must be different. Killing is endless. What we can do is to maintain enough deterrence, not to hurt each other, and take advantage of those Hu people.

"I understand." Xia Hourong nodded vigorously.

"When will you leave?"

"I'll leave after attending the king's celebration banquet." Xia Hourong said with a smile, "I still want to ask for some benefits from my daughter."

"Hahaha..." Sun Shao couldn't help laughing and gently tapped Xia Hourong on the shoulder with a whip: "You little vertical, you didn't forget to exploit me."

"I can't help it." Xia Hourong smiled and said, "The harvest of Ji and Bingzhou this year is not good. Youzhou's self-protection is not enough, and it is necessary to transfer grain from the mainland. It is really difficult to support the Northern Expedition only by the strength of the State of Wei. Since this matter was provoked by the king, and the king is rich and generous, we have to eat the big family.

"Don't worry." Sun Shao smiled and said, "I know you people won't let me go. I've already arranged it. As for you, don't want to carry these things back all the way. There are many rare things in Funan. You can bring some gifts back and say hello to General Lingzun Zhenxi and Zijian for me by the way. As for what Ziwen wants, I have arranged for Su Yu and Shi Bong. He blinked mysteriously: "Absolutely a good thing, enough for him to equip 10,000 riders."

"What's a good thing?" Xia Hourong was very curious.

"You will know when you get to Youzhou." Sun Shao sold a tide. After a while, he said, "In addition, there are also 5,000 iron riders led by Gongsun Yuan and Mian Wei. I hope it can help a little."

"Five thousand iron riders?" Xia Hourong was shocked. There were only 2,000 Yue iron riders in Youzhou. When did he have 5,000?

"There are also Goguryeo and the newly conquered Three Korean cavalry." Sun Shao said lightly, "Su Yu and Yuehai had conquered the three Koreans three months ago and captured the two kings of Ma Han and Ben Han alive. On this expedition, the Goguryeo people made a lot of efforts. A Goguryeo man named Gong was very brave and beheaded King Chen Han. By the way, do you know Qiu Jian?

Xia Hourong thought for a thought and shook his head: "I don't know. However, the surname of Yuqiu is relatively rare. If there is no accident, it should be a member of the family of Wenxiqiu Xing. Yuqiu Xing is now the governor of Wuwei, which is quite strategic. What's wrong, this Yuqiu Jian has also made contributions?

Sun Shao nodded: "He somehow ran to join the army. He was favored by the right general Chen Hai. When he attacked the leper, he made contributions first, and the credit book was still in front of the palace. I heard that he is very young and murderous.

Xia Hourong frowned and was very worried. There are already a lot of poor scholars in various counties and counties running to the State of Yue. Now even 2,000 promising stone children like Xiyuqiu are running to the State of Yue. This situation is a little too serious. He was afraid that Sun Shao would be unhappy, so he didn't pester on this topic any more. He smiled and said, "In less than half a year, the three Koreans and Yimo were calmed down. The combat power of Vietnam should not be underestimated."

"Where." Sun Shao said modestly, "These places are all close to the sea. Our Yue navy is a useful place. 30,000 troops have attacked, and these small countries are not handy. However, taking down these small countries, except for more war horses and soldiers, I actually have no benefit. On the contrary, I have to put a lot of food upside down, which is actually meaningless.

Xia Hourong smiled bitterly. Sun Shao was a little too much. In this way, He also stepped firmly in Youzhou. Although it was across the sea, there were Yue Guo sailors. The sea was not an obstacle for them.

"Now, I will take all these gains out and spare no effort." Sun Shao said generously, "The advantage is that he gets it. I'll pay the money. How about it? Is it interesting enough?"

Xia Hourong nodded helplessly.

"Tell Ziwen that although I will not rush to Liaodong in person, he is not fighting alone, and I will always pay attention to him. If he needs it, I can even let Chen Hai and Yue Hai stay there for a while and be his reserve team.

"I will convey the king's kindness to General Cheqi." Xia Hourong didn't say anything. He wondered if Sun Shao was too enthusiastic. When the 30,000 troops sat in Youzhou, he was afraid that Cao Zhang would not feel relaxed, but would be like a man, but it was not easy for him to make any decision. Anyway, Sun Shao just suggested that we would see how Cao Zhang decided.

"If you have any concerns, I don't object." Sun Shao saw Xia Hourong's worry and said disapprovingly, "I was about to transfer them back and prepare for the expedition to Tianzhu. There are not enough troops. I don't dare to use these Funan people, so I have to use the next one as two. He thought for a moment and laughed again: " Fortunately, you guys are still a little narrow-minded and don't need my help, otherwise I would be really busy. You know, Zhang Fei, the general of the State of Shu, led the army to attack Yizhou County. Although the army was very powerful, it was a little confused to fight with those mountain people. He sent people to ask me for help, but he did not want my mountain army to enter Yizhou County for fear that we would not leave as soon as we go.

"The State of Shu also sent someone here?" Xia Hourong was very surprised that Sun Shao was willing to tell him such an important thing? What is the king going to do?

"It's easy to do." Sun Shao pointed to the north: "Let the Chen people and some people come out to help, so that they don't fight with each other when they have nothing to do."

Xia Hourong thought about it and understood it. This method is really good. It not only helps Zhang Fei, but also does not worry Zhang Fei. In this way, Sun Shao is also sincere in supporting the State of Wei. He just now had a little bit of a gentleman's heart. But you can't blame yourself. Sun Shao's behavior is really very puzious. Looking at his tricks to treat Tianzhu people and Humen, he is simply unscrupulous.

Xia Hourong sighed with emotion.

Sun Shao left Yang Xiu to supervise the construction of the city. He took the people and the captive Ferroz and others back to the special pastoral city. After attending the celebration banquet, it was already the beginning of February. Xia Hourong took the gift given by Sun Shao through Changshan by land, passed through Yanan County, and then transferred to the fast boat to take Zhuya and the South China Sea. At the end of April, he returned. Arrived at Ye City.

Cao Pi, Prime Minister Wei, immediately summoned him.

Cao Pi and Xia Houyuan's nephews have always had a good relationship. When Xia Hourong was a child, the name of the child prodigy was spread by Cao Pi. Later, Cao Zhi went to Guanzhong to supervise the war, and his relationship with Xia Houyuan was close. Cao Pi had some pimples about this. Fortunately, at this time, the world was settled. Cao Yan let him be the prime minister again. The intention of passing on the throne of the King of Wei to him was very obvious. He also regained his closeness to Xiahou Yuan's family, at least on the surface, he did a very good job.

Xia Hourong presented a gift: a pair of jade jade. Cao Pi held it in his hand and carefully looked at the jade color as green as the leaves. He was very happy. He glanced at Xia Hourong and said with a pun, "Youquan, have you gained a lot from going to the South China Sea this time?"

Xia Hourong smiled and nodded, "As the Prime Minister said, I have gained a lot. If the Prime Minister is interested, I will not have any reservation."

Cao Pi blinked his eyes and said, "How dare I be so greedy? If it spreads, won't it ruin my reputation? General Ling Zun Zhenxi will blame me when he learns about it."

"No." Xia Hourong shook his head and said with a smile, "There will be no loss in the spread of knowledge. If the Prime Minister is talking about those treasures, then I can tell the Prime Minister that those treasures are as light as feathers compared with my experience. With the Prime Minister's mind, I won't put those vulgar things in my eyes.

Cao Pi became interested. He took Xia Hourong to sit down, asked people to boil water, soaked the Yizhou alpine tea just brought back by Xia Hourong, and listened to Xia Hourong talk about the knowledge of this trip with great interest. Xia Hourong talked for more than three hours before he roughly told what he had seen and heard and some conversations with Sun Shao.

Cao Pi has been listening attentively, and only a few words have been inserted in the middle. After Xia Hourong finished speaking, he still slowly tasted tea and meditated. After a while, he looked up at Xia Hourong: "Youquan, do you think it's okay if I send Yuan Zhong to Taizhou for a few years?"

Xia Herong thought for a thought and said with a smile, "It's feasible. In the prime minister's young age, Yuan Zhong was almost weak, and he had almost read the books to read. It was the right time to travel thousands of miles. If the Prime Minister hadn't followed His Royal Highness the King of Wei for many years, he would not have today's knowledge and ability. Yuan Zhong has always been growing in Ye City. Except for the expedition to Eastern Wu with the king, he rarely goes far away, and he really needs some experience.

Cao Pi nodded and smiled and said, "What about you? Do you have any plans to go to Youzhou after coming back this time?"

"I'm going." Xia Hourong said with a positive smile, "I still have something to say to General Cheqi."

"Then take him to Youzhou." Cao Pi continued, "First follow Zi's literature to use the army, and then go to Sun Shao to learn politics. If possible, go to your father's side for a while. Even if it is a stubborn stone, you can figure out a little light."

Xia Hourong seemed to have expected it for a long time and was not surprised. He just politely refused a few words, and then answered. Cao Pi was very happy and immediately reported to Cao Wei. Cao Wei did not say much. He indifferently approved Cao Pi's arrangement. At the same time, he asked several young sons, such as Cao Yu, to accompany him. Since he wanted to go, he simply went a few more.

Cao Wei called Xia Hourong again and talked about it in detail for a long time. In the end, he didn't say anything and meditated alone. As soon as Xia Hourong returned to his house, Yin Damu, a close servant beside Cao Wei, arrived, handed a brocade box to Xia Hourong, and then hurried away. Xia Hourong went back to the study and opened it. It turned out to be Cao Wei's "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

Xia Hourong and his second brother Xia Houba were also surprised and happy. What was happy was that Cao Qian's research on Sun Tzu's Art of War combined with his 30 years of experience in using soldiers, it was a treasure that was hard to buy, but now it was in front of him. Surprisingly, Cao Qian obviously had high expectations for him, and he did not know whether he could bear it.

"You have the right to take care of yourself." Xia Houba sighed and patted Xia Hourong on the shoulder: "I dare not read this book. After you read it, I will be satisfied if you can reveal it to me."

Xia Hourong smiled bitterly. Among their brothers, Xiahou Heng, the eldest brother, was destined to attack the title, so it doesn't matter whether he had merit or not. Among the other brothers, the most useful soldier was the third brother Xiahou. Unfortunately, he was just 18 years old and died early before he had a chance to fight. Among the remaining few people, except for him, the second brother Xia Houba is the best soldier. He usually read a lot of Sun Tzu's Art of War and admires Sun Tzu's Art of War ordered by Cao for a long time, but today when this book was really in front of him, he dared not read it. Xia Houba can see that of course he is more clear about the intention.

"Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go." Xia Hourong pondered for a long time and quietly put away the book.
