Chapter 2636 The direction between life and death
?Sun Hao now knows his own situation.
??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.
But if you do nothing...
?Although Sun Quan said he would keep filial piety, 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 it is unstable 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 themselves basically focus on self-interest and altruism. Rubbing randomly.
What if I could take "power" by myself?
?Every time he thinks of this, Sun Hao''s heart can''t help but beat violently, driving blood to every corner of his body, and at the same time he can feel a force pushing him.
Zhou Yu is terrible, but Zhou Yu is not a victorious general, is he?
??If Zhou Yu was really that capable, he shouldn''t be hiding 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?
To achieve great things, one must have a tenacious heart.
? Sun Hao agrees with this.
?Just when he had been unrelenting and trying every possible means to climb up again, new bad news came.
Mrs. Wu died, and Sun Quan was about to fall. It was just the right time for a round of competition. As a result, with the help of Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, and the combined efforts of the Wu family, Jiangdong, which was about to be torn apart, was actually , pinched it again, and sealed the passage for Sun Hao to climb up!
?Sun Hao was very confused for a time. He has some people under his command. In the counties under his jurisdiction, even if he does not act arrogantly, his life is not bad. If he does not continue to climb up, he will still be a rich man. At least, Sun Hao felt that there would be no problems in his life, but what about his son? Where is his grandson?
Even if he can compete with Sun Quan, what if he is gone one day and Sun Quan wants to kill his sons and grandsons?
In fact, this kind of sign appeared very early.
??If you place your 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''s not that no one negotiated terms with Sun Hao. At least after Yu Fan''s "consolation" last time, there was a vague expression that as long as Sun Hao didn''t move, he would be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life!
A lifetime?
How long will you live? If you live to be 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 doubtful.
?Of course, if the offer is too low, Sun Hao will not be satisfied either.
In addition, there is also great chaos within Jiangdong.
So, listen to whoever has the big fist. This is a truth that is hard to change in troubled times. A man is a real man. Naturally, he has power and power at that time and cannot give it up no matter what. In such troubled times, if you can''t lead tens of thousands of tigers and warriors to sit on one side, what will this life be 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 you say…
?The sky has just turned dark, and dinner has just passed.
The sense of chilling is reflected in every part of this early summer night.
Someone came to visit Sun Hao.
??Outside the gate of the small courtyard where Sun Hao temporarily lived, torches were hunting, making a slight crackling and popping sound. Sun Hao''s guards stationed outside the courtyard gate were looking 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 scholar from Jiangdong who suddenly appeared in the evening.
Diao Xuan was from Danyang. He had studied scriptures since he was a child and was somewhat famous.
That’s right, 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 said sideways to Diao Xuan, "I am loyal to my lord, and I can learn from the sun and the moon!" If you say that someone is plotting rebellion, is it a bad idea to bully someone with a long sword in his hand? ! 』
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 the lord is imprisoned in the hills by Zhou and Zhang, and the military and political affairs are all in the hands of these two men. If these are not traitors, what are they? This is a great responsibility given to the general by heaven! 』
?Sun Hao suddenly burst out laughing, "A big responsibility from heaven?" Is Daren going to die? Want to coax someone to die with just a few sweet words? Is this the so-called great responsibility? You guys, your comments are useless and condescending, but when something really happens, 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 general''s warriors except for a little bit of verbal skills?" Furthermore, if students are required to abandon their pens and pick up swords, why bother raising soldiers? The student has no blood and courage, but he still wants to serve the lord! Since the general has no desire to correct the chaos, he can hand over his military power and become a wealthy and idle man! In the future, if students have the opportunity to write the history of Jiangdong, they will definitely leave their names in the history of General Qing! 』
?Sun Hao''s expression changed under such words, and the muscles on his cheeks could not help but jump.
Diao Xuan stood aside and sneered slightly, seemingly not afraid at all.
?Sun Hao was indeed a little angry because of Diao Xuan''s provocation.
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? ?
Contradictions have been sown long ago.
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 poked Sun Hao''s pain point!
Come here! 』
Sun Hao shouted in a deep voice.
?Two guards in the corridor immediately stepped up with clanging armor leaves, waiting for orders.
Drag it down and chop it. As for the head...just send it to Governor Zhou! He told the Governor of Zhou that someone was making false claims and plotting rebellion, and he wanted to tell someone that he was the head of a certain person, so that he could clear himself up. ” Sun Hao spoke slowly and calmly, then waved his hand.
The guard responded and stepped forward to capture Diao Xuan.
Diao Xuan was pinched by two guards and dragged down the hall, but he laughed, "Hahaha, it''s ridiculous! It''s ridiculous!" Now Jiangdong Sun Family Foundation will have the surname Zhou! Why did Zhou Gongjin want to conduct military exercises? Without him, time is running out! Therefore, this strategy is just 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! I think back to the time when Duke Sun was so heroic and heroic, but now I look at it now, hahaha, I didn’t expect that there are all these heroic soldiers, but they are so cowardly and incompetent, they don’t dare to fight, they can only behead the students, which shows their true intentions! Whatever! Under Jiuquan tomorrow, the student went to see Duke Sun first, and then waited for the general to come! 』
?The armored guards dragged Diao Xuan down.
Diao Xuan also seemed to have no fear and no struggle at all, but under the shaking 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. He quickly walked up to the hall and bowed his head. "Father, what this person said... I''m afraid there is something fishy. Please take back the previous order and ask for details." , it’s not too late to make a decision. 』
Diao Xuan had been dragged down the hall, and he sneered and shouted: "Don''t stop!" Don''t stop! If the student makes a mistake, he shall be punished with death! Just get the students on their way quickly! If the knife is faster, the students will be very grateful! 』
Eh?
?Sun Hao and Sun Gong glanced at each other.
The information revealed in Diao Xuancai''s words had actually deeply touched Sun Hao.
Sun Hao was originally wondering if it was Zhou Yu''s fault. 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!
That’s okay! Bring it back! " Sun Hao ordered while walking back to the desk where he was sitting, sat down again, rearranged his facial expressions, and asked in a low voice, "Who ordered you? How can you find out the situation of Governor Zhou by yourself? Just now, the guard soldiers carried Diao Xuan down to the hall, which somewhat caused the wrinkles on Diao Xuan''s clothes to be out of shape. When Diao Xuan returned to the hall, he concentrated on arranging his clothes, as if he didn''t hear Sun Hao''s question. The words are general.
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 just want to investigate. Your husband is very smart, so he can naturally do it." Check out your experience..."
Diao Xuan then raised his hand and returned the salute, saying, "That''s fine, that''s fine!" 』
Sun Hao spoke slowly again, and his tone was no longer as fierce as before, "Since sir, you are here in person, it must be a matter of life and death." Since there is no point in life or death, just ignore the slightest disrespect. It is true that I was rude just now, and I hope you can forgive me, sir. If you are still dissatisfied, then... Sir, you might 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 bow to Sun Hao, "It''s only natural for generals to have worries, and it''s natural for students to do so." The general cannot be blamed 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: "Come here!" Exit twenty steps left and right! No one is allowed to come near without a certain order! 』
The guards in the hall responded, and soon the sound of armor 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 dying... 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 came to him …Take a pot of golden elixir to renew your life…”
] Sun Hao and Sun Gong habitually wanted to sip the cool air again, but they didn''t expect that the cool 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 sat behind the desk, without even lighting a lamp in the room.
??Moonlight penetrated into the house and dyed the ground with a slight silvery pattern.
On the table, there is a jade gourd.
Gongjin…』
?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." To the east of the Yangtze River, the land is fertile, with numerous mountains and forests, which can be cultivated, fished, wooded, and mined. It also has copper and iron ores, which are not in short supply. It also has large rivers and natural dangers, and has the advantage of boats. You can sit and watch things while fighting. , to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, why do we need to take this urgent policy? 』
“Zijing didn’t know something,” Zhou Yu slowly raised his head and looked into the darkness outside the door, “We’re running out of time...”
Lu Su frowned and said, "Didn''t the doctor say that?" As long as he takes good care of himself, Gong Jin''s illness is nothing to worry about. Why can''t we wait for the time? 』
?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... A few days ago, we got a new ship from Guanzhong..."
Lu Su nodded and said, "Yes, we have modified the building ship according to the drawing template." Didn’t Captain Zhou go on a 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 side and slapped them down on the table.
?? Lu Su took a look in 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 getting bolder and bolder... 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, grain, dried fruits, bacon, weapons, utensils... Which of them 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 they did not get any good results. Regardless of the national significance of Sun Quan''s behavior, 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. What information did it tell Sun Quan, and what task was assigned to him?
Obviously, Sun Quan got the information from this group of Jiangdong nobles.
So when did the Jiangdong gentry 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 want to send troops to Yizhou?
??Is it that Sun Quan himself 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?
Apparently not either.
To make Sun Quan tempted, it must be a huge benefit.
?Then in history, Emperor Sun was ready to compete with the nobles for cake and eat it. Is it a pity...
Hence, Zhou Tai’s trial voyage, just like Sun Quan’s mission to Yizhou in history, was doomed to fail.
"Zijing, there is one more thing..." Zhou Yu said slowly, his voice gradually lowered, "This Guanzhong new ship secret method... 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 left and right, so he had to stare wide-eyed, "Old or fake?" 』
Zhou Yu closed his eyes and nodded.
This is indeed very 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, but in the end you found out 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 boats are sharp. But when the technology of Guanzhong''s new ships appeared, Zhou Yu''s originally thought to be a solid defense system 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, couldn''t be clearer. Although there may not be sailors in Guanzhong who can skillfully control warships, as long as there are places suitable for navy training such as Jingzhou or Hefei, coupled with the strong material, financial and manpower in the north, it is not possible to build a navy from scratch. It''s completely impossible.
Once the navy in the north takes shape and warship technology suppresses Jiangdong, what will be the result?
"Here we are," Zhou Yu shook his head gently and sighed, "fighting for these petty profits... And to the north... look at what they are doing... and look at what we are doing... we If you want to move forward properly, Zijing, at least you 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 he reached his lips, the words 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 reached out and placed his hand on the bamboo slip on the desk, "My lord just knows about this..."
『Zhang Gong’s side…』
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Where Zhang Gong is, there are many people and mixed 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 it, how can those people dare to show it?" If Zijing is worried, he 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 and looked at the moon in the sky, thinking silently in his heart, Brother Bofu, this is your inheritance. Even if my body is broken into pieces, I will protect it for you...
