Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2636 The direction of life and death

  Sun Hao now knows his own situation.

   If Sun Quan is engaged alone, the problem is not too big, but if it is 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 kept his filial piety, he may come back at any time, and once Sun Quan comes back, can it be said that Sun Quan can live in harmony with Sun Hao himself?

  Won't Sun Quan investigate what happened to Sun Lang?

Logically speaking, the current foundation of the Sun family is trembling and uncertain in the wind and rain. It should be a concerted effort to overcome the difficulties first and then talk about other things. But the problem is that human beings are basically self-serving and altruistic Rubbing indiscriminately.

  If you are yourself, can you be in power?

   Whenever he thinks of this, Sun Hao's heart can't help but beat violently, bringing blood to every corner of his body, and at the same time he feels a force pushing him.

   Zhou Yu is scary, but Zhou Yu is not an ever-victorious general, is he?

  If Zhou Yu was really that capable, he shouldn't be shrinking in Jiangdong now, he should have greeted the emperor long ago, confronted Cao Cao head-to-head, and even trampled Cao Cao under his feet!

  So, from a certain point of view, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin's success is a hypocritical illusion?

   It's like Zhou Yu pretending to be fine and healthy?

   Those who achieve great things should have a tough heart.

   On this point, Sun Hao agrees.

  He was unyielding before, and when he tried every means to climb up again, there was a new bad news.

Mrs. Wu died, and Sun Quan was about to fall. Just when he could stud, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, together with the efforts of the old people of the Wu family, unexpectedly turned Jiangdong, which was about to be torn apart, into pieces. , pinched it again, and closed the passage that Sun Hao climbed up!

  Sun Hao was at a loss for a while. Some people under him, in the counties and counties under his jurisdiction, even if they are not domineering, their lives are not bad. If they do not continue to climb up, they will still be a rich man. At least, Sun Hao felt that there was nothing wrong with him in his life, but what about his son? Where is his grandson?

  Even if he can compete with Sun Quan, if he is gone one day and Sun Quan wants to mess with his son and grandson, what should he do?

  In fact, this kind of sign has been there for a long time.

  If you pin your hopes on Sun Quanhui's blood relationship with the word "Sunshi", it's better to believe that an old sow will climb a tree. Of course, it's not that no one talks about conditions with Sun Hao at all, at least after Yu Fan's "consolation" last time, he vaguely expressed that as long as Sun Hao doesn't move around, he will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime!

   Forever?

  How long to live? If you live to ninety-nine, it is of course a good deal, but what if you can only live to sixty-nine?

  The price tag was given too high and the slogan was too loud, which made Sun Hao suspicious.

  Of course, if the offer is low, Sun Hao will not be satisfied either.

  In addition to the interior of Jiangdong, there is also a lot of chaos now.

  So, whoever has big fists should listen to him. This is a truth that is not easy in troubled times. As a man and a man, of course, the power of the whole life at that time, no matter what, he couldn't let go of it. In such a troubled world, if you can't bring tens of thousands of tigers and sit on one side, what's the taste of this person's life?

  Does it taste like salted fish?

  All kinds of things came together, which made Sun Hao feel that Zhou Yu's behavior is abnormal.

if we assume…

  It was only dark before dinner was over.

  The meaning of killing is reflected in every place of this early summer night.

   Someone came to visit Sun Hao.

  Sun Hao temporarily lived outside the gate of the small courtyard, and the torches were flickering, making a slight crackling sound. Sun Hao's guards stationed outside the gate looked around vigilantly.

  In the courtyard and in the hall, there was only the sound of breathing, and no one spoke.

  Encountered such troubled times, Jiangdong's environment is also extremely dangerous, in which, how can anyone not care about where they will go?

  In the festival hall, Sun Hao stood in the center with his hands behind his back, and beside him was Diao Xuan, a celebrity from Jiangdong who suddenly appeared in the evening.

   Diao Xuan is from Danyang. He studied scriptures since he was a child, and he is quite famous.

   Yes, a little famous.

   It seems that there is only one step away from becoming famous, but this step cannot be easily crossed.

  Silence is like an invisible pressure exerted on this space.

  Sun Hao stood in the hall, Diao Xuan stood on one side, neither of them moved, but their shadows on the ground shook endlessly under the candlelight.

  After half a ring, Sun Hao turned his head slightly, scorned Diao Xuan, "A certain loyal lord can learn from the sun and the moon!" But you say that a certain rebellion is to deceive someone with a long knife in his hand? ! 』

  Diao Xuan didn't flinch, and said in a deep voice: "It's not a rebellion, it's a conspiracy for the great cause of the Sun family!" Now the lord is imprisoned by Zhou and Zhang in the middle of the hill, and all the military and political affairs are in the hands of these two. If this is not a traitor, what is it? This is a great assignment from heaven to the general! 』

  Sun Hao suddenly burst out laughing, "Heaven's mission? Is Da Ren going to die? With a little rhetoric, you want to coax someone to die? This is the so-called great responsibility? Those of you who are usually commenting are useless and superior, and if something really happens, you want to use your tongue to kill others? Do you really think someone can be deceived? ! 』

   Diao Xuan answered quickly and urgently, and before Sun Hao finished speaking, he said directly: "Students are powerless, except for a little bit of tongue, how can they be stronger than the general's men?" Furthermore, if students are required to abandon their pens and pick up their knives, why bother to raise soldiers? The student has no blood and courage, but you think of serving the lord! Since the general has no desire to set things right, he can hand over his military power and be a rich and idle man! In the future, if students have the opportunity to write Jiangdong's annals, they will definitely make the general famous in history! 』

  Sun Hao's expression changed under such words, and the muscles on his cheeks couldn't help but twitch.

   Diao Xuan stood aside, just sneered slightly, seemingly unafraid.

  Sun Hao was indeed a little annoyed by Diao Xuan's teasing.

Since Sun Ce's death, Sun Hao has become more or less domineering since he led the army. He basically listened to the announcement and didn't listen to the order. Otherwise, Sun Quan led the troops to the north to fight across the river. Why didn't he want to transfer Sun Hao's soldiers? ?

   Contradictions have long been planted.

   Diao Xuan came, but Sun Hao didn't take it seriously at first.

Sun Hao didn't want to be an arrogant and rude corporal who didn't know how to be polite, so he met Diao Xuan, but he didn't expect that Diao Xuan didn't have a few words, so he directly made a big move, and his words were even more tricky and sharp Every sentence poked at Sun Hao's sore spot!

  『Come on! 』

  Sun Hao shouted in a deep voice.

  The two guards under the corridor suddenly stepped up with a clang, waiting for orders.

  『Drag it down, cut it off. The head...sent to Zhou Dudu's place! He told Zhou Dudu that someone was lying and plotting against him, and if he wanted to talk about Yu, he would specially serve the leader, so as to make himself clear. 』Sun Hao said in a calm tone, slowly, and then waved his hands.

   The guard responded and stepped forward to hold Diao Xuan.

   Diao Xuan was caught by two guards and dragged down the hall, but he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous!" Now the foundation of the Sun family in Jiangdong will be surnamed Zhou! Why did Zhou Gongjin want to perform military performances? Without him, time is running out! Therefore, this strategy is only used to test you! I never thought that the three generations of the Sun family were loyal and good, but now they are dead, imprisoned, and surrendered! Thinking back to grandson back then, Xiongzhiyingfa, now looking at the present, hahaha, I didn't expect to have these majestic soldiers, but they were so timid and incompetent. No matter! In the future, under Jiuquan, the students will go to see Grandpa Sun first, and then wait for the general to come for a while! 』

  The armored guard dragged Diao Xuan down.

   Diao Xuan also seemed to have no fear, no struggle at all, but under the swaying light and shadow, no one noticed his trembling feet under the robe...

  『Father! Take it easy! 』

Sun Gong hid early, but at this moment he showed his face, walked quickly into the hall, bowed his head and bowed, "Father, what this person said... I am afraid that there is indeed something strange, please retract the previous order, and ask for details. , it is not too late to make a decision. 』

  Diao Xuan had already been dragged to the hall, and now he also sneered and shouted: "Don't stop! Don't stop! If the student is wrong, he deserves to die! Quickly lead the students on the road! Knife and hurry, the students are very grateful! 』

  噫?

  Sun Hao and Sun Gong gave each other a wink.

  The information that Diao Xuan just said has actually touched Sun Hao deeply.

  Sun Hao had originally wondered if it was Zhou Yu's trick, but after hearing Diao Xuan's words, he couldn't help but feel that this thin celebrity might have guessed the secret behind Zhou Yu's move!

  『Forget it! bring back! As Sun Hao gave the order, he walked back to the table above, sat down again, rearranged his facial expressions, and asked in a low voice, "Who ordered you?" With you alone, how can you find out the situation of Zhou Dudu? 』

Just now the guards took Diao Xuan out of the hall, which somewhat made the clothes on Diao Xuan's body wrinkled and out of shape. When he returned to the hall, Diao Xuan focused on tidying up his robes, as if he didn't hear what Sun Hao asked. The words are average.

Sun Gong on the side took a step forward, bowed his hands to Diao Xuan and said, "I was rude just now, and I will apologize to you on behalf of my father... My father is responsible, so I can't do it without authorization. I have a little intention of investigating. My husband is very smart, so I can naturally do it." Check understanding is the..."

   Diao Xuan bowed his hands and returned the salute, "Forget it, let it be! 』

  Sun Hao spoke slowly again, and the tone of his tone was no longer as fierce as before, "Since Mr. came here personally, it must be a meaningless matter of life and death." Since life and death are meaningless, a little disrespect should not be taken to heart. It was true that there was a lot of disrespect just now, and I hope you will forgive me. If you are still dissatisfied, then...you might as well go yourself! 』

"Well...students don't dare to complain," Diao Xuan had cleaned himself up at this time, shook his sleeves, and saluted Sun Hao, "It's human nature for generals to be worried, and students are naturally Don't blame the general for this. 』

  Sun Hao nodded, his eyes fixed on Diao Xuan's face, "Sir... just said, Zhou Dudu... what's wrong?" 』

   Diao Xuan pretended not to speak, and looked left and right.

  Sun Hao suddenly realized, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Come on!" Exit twenty steps left and right! Without a certain order, no one is allowed to approach! 』

  The guards under the hall responded, and then the armor sounded, and they gradually moved away.

  『Sir, you can say as much as you want! ’ Sun Hao said in a deep voice.

  Diao Xuan nodded, and then his eyes flickered, "Zhou Gongjin... is already dying... This military exercise is the end of the battle!" 』

Although Sun Hao had some guesses in his heart, after hearing about it, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, and then walked away cursing, staring at Diao Xuan closely, and asked: "How did you get such a secret, sir?" Know? 』

Diao Xuan laughed softly and said, "Zhou Gongjin can hide the truth from others, but she can't hide it from the students... Haha, well, the students make a lot of friends on weekdays, and among them is the disciple of Master Ge... After drinking, he revealed that Zhou Gongjin came to him ...take a pot of golden elixir to continue life...』

  『Hiss...』Sun Hao and Sun Gong habitually wanted to take a breath again, but they didn’t expect that the cool air had already escaped, so they could only interrupt the skill combat, and then glanced at each other.

  『Is this really true? 』Sun Hao asked in a deep voice, his voice was trembling with eagerness, and he didn't even notice it.

   Diao Xuan shook his head, "Of course! 』

  … ヽ()()…

  In the dark of night, Zhou Yu sat behind the table, and there was not even a single lamp lit in the room.

  Moonlight penetrated into the house, and the ground was slightly stained with light silver patterns.

  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 the lord has repentance, and when he grows up, he will definitely not act rashly again." This Jiangdong has fertile land, many mountains and forests, can be cultivated and fished, woodcutters can be harvested, and there are copper and iron mines, so there is no need for them to be used. , The effect of reaping the fisherman, why do you have to take such a hasty strategy? 』

  『Zijing doesn’t know something,』Zhou Yu slowly raised his head, looking at the dark place outside the door, 『I’m running out of time...』

  Lu Su frowned and said, "Didn't the doctor say that?" As long as he takes good care of him, Gong Jin's illness is nothing to worry about. Why is it sometimes impossible to wait? 』

  Zhou Yu smiled, then coughed twice, "Ha, I'm not talking about myself... but this Jiangdong Foundation..."

  『Jiangdong Foundation? 』Lu Su frowned.

  Zhou Yu nodded slowly, "You know, Zijing... a few days ago, I got a new ship from Guanzhong..."

  Lu Su nodded and said: "Yes, we have changed the building ship according to the blueprint template. Didn't Captain Zhou go on a sea trial? 』

  Zhou Yu smiled, "Zhou Youping was ambushed, defeated, and lost the ship... Please write the crime here..."

  Zhou Yu touched a row of asparagus bamboo slips from a corner of his side, and slapped them on the table.

  Lu Su glanced at it by the moonlight, but he didn’t intend to start watching it in detail. His face was a little dignified, "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 these pirates to hang overseas day and night... they still need supplies, such as salt, fresh water, vegetables, grain, dried fruits, bacon, weapons, utensils... which one can be made at sea?" So how are these things obtained? This... need I say more? 』

  Lu Su was silent.

  Historically, Sun Quan sent people to Yizhou, but did not get any good results. Leaving aside the significance of Sun Quan's actions on the land, how did Sun Quan, a native of the Three Kingdoms, know about the overseas world?

  A grandfather fell from the sky, or the system jingled, telling Sun Quan what information, what task was assigned to him?

   Obviously, Sun Quan got the information from these Jiangdong gentry.

  So when did the Jiangdong gentry know about overseas trade routes?

  Obviously, at least during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han people had actually expanded overseas...

   Then why did Sun Quan send troops to Yizhou?

   Is it because Sun Quan himself is too idle, or he feels that he can't beat Wei, how much is he prepared to escape?

   Obviously not.

   It must be a huge benefit to make Sun Quan tempted.

  Then the historical Sun Dadi went off the stage to grab cakes with the gentry, what a pity...

  So, Zhou Tai's trial voyage this time, just like Sun Quan sent people to Yizhou in history, is doomed to fail.

  『Zijing, there is one more thing...』Zhou Yu said slowly, his voice gradually lowered, 『The secret method of the new ship in the pass...is old, or in other words, it is fake...」

"what? ! ’ Lu Su responded subconsciously, and was about to take a breath, but he couldn’t find any cool air on the left and right, so he had to widen his eyes, “Old, fake? 』

  Zhou Yu closed his eyes and nodded.

   This is really shocking.

   Zhou Yu couldn't believe it when he first heard the news.

  It’s like a goddess or a **** who I’ve been dreaming of in my heart, thinking that it’s radiant and flawless, but in the end I found out that it’s just a specialty merchant selling abalone or steel balls…

   And it's a revised version.

  If he hadn’t gotten this news, Zhou Yu would probably still be immersed in the illusory bubble, thinking that just like what Lu Su said, Jiangdong’s own navy is powerful and the boats are sharp. However, when the technology of Guanzhong New Ship appeared, the defense system that Zhou Yu thought was safe suddenly became full of loopholes.

   What a more powerful and higher-level warship means to the navy, Zhou Yu, who has an S-level naval command skill level, couldn't be more clear. Although it is said that Guanzhong may not have sailors who can skillfully control warships, as long as there are places suitable for naval training such as Jingzhou or Hefei, coupled with the strong material and financial resources and manpower in the north, it is not difficult to build a navy from scratch. It is completely impossible.

   And once the navy in the north takes shape and the warship technology suppresses Jiangdong, what will be the result?

"We are here," Zhou Yu shook his head lightly, sighing, "For these petty gains, we are fighting back and forth...and in the north...look at what they are doing...and look at what we are doing...we If you want to move forward, Zijing, at least you can't hold back... Otherwise, how do you go about this? 』

  Lu Su seemed to want to say something, but when the words reached his lips, they seemed to disappear, and finally turned into a sigh. After a long silence, he asked again, "Then, do you know about the master's place?" 』

  Zhou Yu put his hand on the bamboo slip on the table, "My lord just knew about it..."

  『Mr. Zhang...』

  Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang's place is crowded with people. 』

  Lu Su sighed again, "But this elixir, this elixir..."

  『I tried it with someone, and it’s not much different from the five-color dispersion, and it’s just that it’s scattered after the fact...』Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "Actors, do you always have to do a full set? If you don’t act similarly, how dare those people show it?" If Zijing is not at ease, you can find someone to try it out... This time, I want to catch all those who are behind me in the dark...』
