If you fight Sun Quan alone, the problem is not too big, but if you fight against Zhou Yu...
Of course there is not much chance of winning.
So he was somewhat hesitant.
However, if you do nothing...
Although Sun Quan said he was filial, he might come back at any time. Once Sun Quan comes back, can Sun Quan and Sun Hao live in harmony?
Wouldn't Sun Quan investigate what happened behind Sun Lang?
Logically speaking, the Sun family's current foundation is trembling and shaky in the wind and rain. They should work together to get through the difficulties first and then talk about other things. But the problem is that human beings basically focus on self-interest and altruism. Rubbing randomly.
What if I could take "power" by myself?
Whenever he thought of this, Sun Hao's heart could not help but beat violently, driving blood to every corner of his body, and at the same time he would feel a force pushing him.
Zhou Yu is terrible, but Zhou Yu is not a victorious general, right?
If Zhou Yu was really that capable, he should not be shrinking in Jiangdong now. He should have welcomed the emperor long ago, faced Cao Cao head-on, or even trampled Cao Cao under his feet!
So, from a certain perspective, the achievements of Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin are a false illusion?
Just like when Zhou Yu pretended that nothing happened and his body was fine?
Those who want to achieve great things must have a tough heart.
Sun Hao agreed with this point.
Just when he was persevering and trying every possible means to climb up again, new bad news came.
Mrs. Wu died, and Sun Quan was about to fall. Just when it was time to make a move, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao combined their efforts, and the Wu family's elders joined forces, and Jiangdong, which was about to fall apart, was , pinched it again, and sealed the passage for Sun Hao to climb up!
Sun Hao was once very confused. He had some people under his command. Even if he did not act tyrannically in the counties under his jurisdiction, life was not bad. If he did not continue to climb up, he would still be a rich man. At least. , Sun Hao felt that there was no problem in his life, but what about his son? Where about his grandson?
Even if he can compete with Sun Quan, what if he is gone one day and Sun Quan wants to mess with his son and grandson?
In fact, this kind of sign appeared very early.
If we place our hopes on Sun Quan because of the blood relationship between the two characters "Sun", it is better to believe that an old sow can climb a tree. Of course, it is not that no one negotiates terms with Sun Hao. At least after Yu Fan's "consolation" last time, there was a vague hint that as long as Sun Hao didn't move, he would be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of his life!
lifetime?
How long should you live? If you live to ninety-nine, it is certainly a good deal, but what if you can only live to sixty-nine?
The price was too high and the slogan was too loud, which made Sun Hao suspicious.
Of course, if the offer was too low, Sun Hao would not be satisfied either.
In addition, there is also great chaos within Jiangdong.
Therefore, whoever has the big fist will listen to whoever has it. This is a truth that is not easy to come by in troubled times. A man who is a real man naturally cannot let go of his power at that time. In such troubled times, you cannot lead tens of thousands of tigers and beni to sit on one side. In this person's life, What does it taste like?
Does it taste like salted fish?
All kinds of things came together to make Sun Hao feel that Zhou Yu's current behavior was abnormal.
If……
It was just getting dark and dinner was just over.
The sense of chilling was reflected everywhere on this early summer night.
Someone came to visit Sun Hao.
Outside the gate of the small courtyard where Sun Hao temporarily lived, torches were burning, making a slight crackling and popping sound. Sun Hao's guards stationed outside the courtyard gate looked around vigilantly.
In the courtyard and hall, there was only the sound of breathing, and no one spoke.
In such troubled times, the environment in Jiangdong is also extremely dangerous. How can anyone care about where they will go in this world?
In the festival hall, Sun Hao stood in the middle with his hands behind his back, and beside him was Diao Xuan, a famous Jiangdong scholar who suddenly appeared in the evening.
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
Diao Xuan was from Danyang. He had studied scriptures since he was a child and was somewhat famous.
Yes, he is somewhat famous.
It seems that there is only one step away from becoming famous, but this step cannot be taken easily.
Silence is like invisible pressure exerted on this space.
Sun Hao stood in the hall, and Diao Xuan stood on one side. Neither of them moved, but their shadows on the ground were shaking under the candlelight.
After a while, Sun Hao turned his head slightly and tilted his head at Diao Xuan, "You can tell from the sun and the moon that someone is loyal to the lord! You are saying that someone is plotting rebellion, because you are bullying someone with a long sword in his hand, which is not good?!"
Diao Xuan did not flinch, and said in a deep voice: "This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy for the great cause of the Sun family! Now my lord is imprisoned in the hills by Zhou and Zhang, and the military and political affairs are all in the hands of these two people. This is not the case." What is a traitor? This is why the general has been given a great responsibility by heaven!"
Sun Hao suddenly burst out laughing, "A big job from heaven? Does a big job mean death? With some sweet words, you want to coax someone to die? Is this the so-called big job? You guys usually make useless comments and are arrogant. There is really something wrong. You want to use your tongue to kill others? Do you really think that someone is someone who can be bullied?!"
Diao Xuan answered the question quickly and urgently. Before Sun Hao finished speaking, he said directly: "Students are inherently powerless. How can they be better than the strong men under the general's command except for a little bit of verbal skills?" If you need students to abandon their pens and pick up swords, why bother to raise soldiers? Students have no blood and courage, but they want to serve their lord! Since the general has no desire to correct the chaos, he can hand over his military power and become a rich and idle man! If he is a student in the future If I have the opportunity to write the history of Jiangdong, I will definitely leave my name in the history of the general!"
Under such words, Sun Hao's expression changed, and the muscles on his cheeks could not help but jump.
Diao Xuan stood aside and sneered slightly, seemingly unafraid.
Sun Hao was indeed aroused by Diao Xuan.
Since the death of Sun Ce, Sun Hao has been somewhat domineering since he led the army. Basically, he has been in a state of listening to announcements but not being told. Otherwise, why would Sun Quan not be willing to mobilize Sun Hao's soldiers when he led his troops to the north to cross the river to fight? ?
The seeds of conflict have long been planted.
When Diao Xuan came, Sun Hao didn't take him seriously at first.
Sun Hao didn't want to be known as a corporal who was arrogant and disrespectful, so he met Diao Xuan, but he didn't expect that Diao Xuan didn't say a few words before he immediately launched a big move, and his words were even more cunning and clever. , every sentence pokes Sun Hao's pain point!
"Here comes someone!"
Sun Hao shouted in a deep voice.
The two guards in the corridor immediately stepped up with clanging armor leaves, waiting for orders.
"Drag him down and behead him... then send him to Governor Zhou! Just tell Governor Zhou that someone is making false claims and plotting rebellion, and he wants to accuse a certain person. I will dedicate him to his head so that he can prove his innocence." Sun Hao said in a tone of voice. He said slowly and calmly, then waved his hand.
The guard responded and stepped forward to hold Diao Xuan.
Diao Xuan was pinched by two guards and dragged down the hall, but he laughed, "Hahaha, it's ridiculous! Now the Sun family's foundation in Jiangdong will be named Zhou! Why did Zhou Gongjin want to perform military exercises? No one else." Time is running out! So I’m doing this just to test you all! I never thought that the three generations of the Sun family would be loyal and good, but now they are dead, imprisoned, and surrendered! I think back to the time when Gong Sun was heroic and heroic, but look at it now In front of me, hahaha, I didn’t expect that there are these mighty soldiers, but they are so cowardly and incompetent. They don’t dare to fight. They can only kill the students’ heads to show their true intentions! That’s it! Under Jiuquan one day, the students will go to see Sun Gong first, and then wait. General, come here for a moment!』
The armored guards dragged Diao Xuan down.
Diao Xuan also seemed to have no fear and no struggle at all, but under the swaying light and shadow, no one noticed his trembling feet under his robe...
"Father! Wait a minute!"
Sun Gong, who had been hiding aside for a long time, showed up at this moment, walked quickly into the hall, bowed his head and bowed, "Father, what this person said... I'm afraid there is something fishy. Please take back the previous order and ask for details." After that, it’s not too late to make a decision.”
Diao Xuan had been dragged down the hall, and now he sneered and shouted: "Don't stop! Don't stop! The student has made a mistake and is punishable by death! Just lead the student on the road quickly! Hurry up, the student will be grateful!" 』
meaning?
Sun Hao and Sun Gong glanced at each other.
The information revealed in Diao Xuan's words had actually deeply touched Sun Hao.
Sun Hao had originally suspected that it was Zhou Yu's fault, but now after listening to Diao Xuan's words, he couldn't help but feel that this thin celebrity might have really guessed the secret behind Zhou Yu's move!
"Forget it! Bring it back!" Sun Hao ordered as he walked back to the table above, sat down again, rearranged his facial expressions, and asked in a low voice, "Who instigated you? Just by you. How can one person find out the situation of Governor Zhou?"
Just now, the guards escorted Diao Xuan down to the hall, which somewhat caused the wrinkles on Diao Xuan's clothes to lose shape. When Diao Xuan returned to the hall, he concentrated on arranging his clothes, as if he didn't hear what Sun Hao asked. The speech is average.
Sun Gong, who was on the side, took a step forward, raised his hand to Diao Xuan and said, "I was rude just now. I apologize to you sir on behalf of my father... My father is responsible for his duties and cannot act without permission. I have some intention of investigating. Sir is very smart. Naturally." Only if you can understand and understand..."
Diao Xuan then raised his hand in return and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
Sun Hao spoke slowly again, his tone no longer as fierce as before, "Sir, since you are here in person, it must be a matter of life and death. Since there is no point of life and death, just ignore the slightest disrespect. It was true just now." I am rude to you, and I hope you will forgive me. If you are still dissatisfied, then...sir, you may as well go on your own!"
"Well...students don't dare to have any complaints." Diao Xuan had already sorted himself out at this time. He shook his sleeves and returned a salute to Sun Hao. "It's natural for a general to have worries. Students should You cannot blame the general for this."
Sun Hao nodded, his eyes fixed on Diao Xuan's face, "Sir... what you just said, Governor Zhou... what happened?"
Diao Xuan pretended not to say anything, but looked left and right.
Sun Hao suddenly understood and said in a deep voice: "Here comes someone! Back away twenty steps from left to right! No one is allowed to come near without a certain order!"
The guards in the hall responded, and soon the sound of stomach sounds gradually faded away.
"Sir, you can say whatever you want!" Sun Hao said in a deep voice.
Diao Xuan nodded, and then his eyes flashed, "Zhou Gongjin... is already dead... this military exercise is the end of a strong crossbow!"
Although Sun Hao had some guesses in his mind, after hearing this, he still couldn't help but take a deep breath. Then he walked away cursing without caring about the cold breath. He stared at Diao Xuan closely and asked, "How did you get such a secret thing?" Know?"
Diao Xuan chuckled and said: "Zhou Gongjin can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from students... Haha, well, students usually make a lot of friends, including Ge Tianshi's disciples... He revealed after drinking that Zhou Gongjin Find him... and get a pot of golden elixir to renew your life..."
"Hiss..." Sun Hao and Sun Gong wanted to sip the cold air out of habit, but they didn't expect that the cold air had already escaped, so they could only interrupt the actual combat of skills, and then looked at each other.
"Is this true?" Sun Hao asked in a deep voice, his voice trembling with urgency, and he didn't even notice it.
Diao Xuan shook his head, "Of course!"
……ヽ(???)?(???)?……
In the dark of night, Zhou Yu was sitting behind the table, without even lighting a lamp in the room.
The moonlight penetrated into the house and dyed the ground with a slightly dull silver pattern.
On the table, there is a jade gourd.
"Gong Jin..."
On the side of the shadow, Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu with a worried face, "It is not necessary to take this strategy... Now that the master has repented, when he grows up, he will no longer act impetuously. This Jiangdong has fertile land and mountains and forests." There are many of them, which can be farmed, fished, wooded and mined. They also contain copper and iron ores, so there is no need to worry about the shortage of them. Moreover, there are natural dangers in the river, and they have the advantage of boats. You can just sit back and look at things while fighting, and reap the benefits of fishermen. Why bother? Do you want to take this urgent step?"
"Zijing doesn't know something." Zhou Yu slowly raised his head and looked into the darkness outside the door, "We are running out of time..."
Lu Su frowned and said, "Didn't the doctor say that? As long as you take good care of yourself, Gong Jin's illness is nothing to worry about. Why should you say that there is no time to wait?"
Zhou Yu smiled, then coughed twice, "Ha, I'm not talking about myself... but Jiangdong Foundation..."
"Jiangdong Foundation?" Lu Su frowned.
Zhou Yu nodded slowly, "Zijing, you know... some time ago, we got a new ship from Guanzhong..."
Lu Su nodded and said: "I know, we have modified the new building ship according to the drawing template. Didn't Captain Zhou go on trial voyage?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Zhou Youping was ambushed, defeated, and lost his ship... The apology letter is here..."
Zhou Yu took out a line of asparagus bamboo slips from a corner of his body and slapped it down on the table.
Lu Su took a look under the moonlight, but had no intention of taking a detailed look. His face was quite solemn, "This matter...could it be..."
"That thief Hu Yu did it..." Zhou Yu said slowly, "This thief... is becoming more and more courageous... However, the important thing is not this mere pirate, but..."
Zhou Yu sneered, "It is impossible for pirates like this to hang out overseas day and night... They also need some supplies, salt, fresh water, vegetables, grains, dried fruits, bacon, weapons, utensils... none of which can be used at sea
Created? Then how are these things obtained? This...do I need to say more?』
Lu Su was silent.
Historically, Sun Quan sent people to Yizhou, but no good results were obtained. Regardless of the significance of Sun Quan's behavior in the country, how did Sun Quan, a native of the Three Kingdoms, know about the overseas world?
An old man fell from the sky, or the system dinged, telling Sun Quan what information, and what task was assigned to him?
Obviously, Sun Quan got the information from this group of Jiangdong nobles.
So when did the Jiangdong nobles become aware of overseas trade routes?
Obviously, at least during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han people had actually expanded overseas...
So why did Sun Quan send troops to Yizhou?
Is it because Sun Quan is too idle, or he feels that he can't defeat Wei, so he is more or less prepared to find a way out to escape?
Obviously not.
To make Sun Quan tempted, it must be a huge benefit.
Then Emperor Sun in history ended up trying to grab the cake with the nobles. Isn’t it a pity...
Therefore, Zhou Tai's trial voyage, just like Sun Quan's mission to Yizhou in history, was destined to fail.
"Zijing, there is one more thing..." Zhou Yu said slowly, his voice gradually lowered, "This secret method for the new ship in Guanzhong... is old, or in other words, fake..."
"Ha?!" Lu Su responded subconsciously, and then prepared to take a sip of cool air, but couldn't find any cool air on the left and right, so he had to widen his eyes, "Old or fake?"
Zhou Yu closed his eyes and nodded.
This is really shocking.
When Zhou Yu first heard the news, he was in disbelief.
It’s like the person you longed for, thought to be a glorious and flawless goddess or a god, only to find out in the end that he was just a specialty merchant selling abalone or steel wire balls...
And it’s a revised version.
If he had not received this news, Zhou Yu would probably still be immersed in the bubble of illusion, feeling like what Lu Su said, Jiangdong's own navy is powerful and the ships are sharp. But when the technology of Guanzhong's new ships appeared
, the defense system that Zhou Yu originally thought was stable suddenly became full of loopholes.
What more powerful and higher-level warships mean to the navy, Zhou Yu, who has an S-level naval command skill level, knows very well. Although there may not be sailors in Guanzhong who can skillfully control warships, as long as they
With places like Jingzhou or Hefei suitable for navy training, coupled with the strong material, financial and human resources in the north, it is not completely impossible to build a navy from scratch.
And once the navy in the north takes shape and battleship technology suppresses Jiangdong, what will be the result?
"Here we are," Zhou Yu shook his head gently and sighed, "fighting over these petty profits... And to the north... look at what they are doing... and look at what we are doing.
What... We want to move forward properly, Zijing, at least we can’t hold back anyone else... Otherwise, how do you think we can move forward? 』
Lu Su seemed to want to say something, but when the words reached his lips, they seemed to be lost again, and finally turned into a sigh. After being silent for a while, he asked again, "So, do you know where the Lord is?"
Zhou Yu put his hand on the bamboo slip on the table, "My lord just knows about this..."
"On Mr. Zhang's side..."
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Where Zhang Gong is, there are many people and many eyes."
Lu Su sighed again, "But this elixir, this elixir..."
"I tried it with someone. It's not much different from Wu Se San. Xing San is..." Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "When you are acting, do you always have to do a full set? If you don't act like someone, how dare those people show it?"
?If Zijing is worried, you can also find someone to give it a try... This time, we have to catch all those who are secretly holding back..."
Zhou Yu raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, and thought silently in his heart, Brother Bo Fu, this is your inheritance, even if I am shattered to pieces, I will protect it for you...
