- Chapter 188 Triumph
Everyone laughed for a while, and then Sun Shao pointed at Cao Zhang and said: "You're cruel! I give you two choices, either pay my debt, or don't go back to the Central Plains until I pay it off. I'll accept the bad luck and save the whole family for you." Send it over. Or you can be a bachelor, default on your debts, stop being a bullshit in the future, and be a low-key person after returning to the Central Plains. However, your contribution in this battle"
Before Sun Shao could finish speaking, Cao Zhang interrupted him and said bluntly: "I won't go back on my words, I will let my horse go on the east coast of the Caspian Sea. I would be very grateful to you for sending my family members, but, What I hope most is that you can arrange Zijian near me. I am thousands of miles away from home, and I will be satisfied if I can keep in touch with Zijian."
Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Cao Zhi: "Brother Zijian, you don't plan to go back either?"
Cao Zhi smiled calmly: "I only earned a piece of fiefdom after suffering such a serious injury. If I don't guard it well, how can I be willing to go back. What do you think, your Majesty, please help us brothers?"
Sun Shao hesitated for a moment, but it was not that he was reluctant. His original plan was to keep the two Cao brothers in West Asia. In this way, coupled with Xia Hourong who was left behind in Sheba, the power of the Wei State would be reduced. He took half of it away. With Cao Rui's ability, he would be very happy if he could keep Wei. But now seeing the loss hidden under Cao Zhi's detachment, he felt a little sad. He knew what Cao Zhi was thinking, but he still couldn't let go of that burden. If he didn't have a knot in his heart, who would take the initiative to leave his hometown? If he wanted these tens of thousands of people to stay here and spread branches and branches for the Han people in the future, he was already ready to spend a lot of money, but he was not sure.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I will help you brothers." Sun Shao waved his hand: "Don't worry, after I go back, I will definitely go to the emperor and ask you to be king. We are all vassals of the Han Dynasty."
Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi were surprised. They exchanged glances, put away their smiles, and bowed respectfully to Sun Shao: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Sun Shao laughed and deliberately said to the others in a hearty tone: "Who else is willing to take root in this land? I can give priority to your rewards."
Everyone was silent. Although they hoped to have a fiefdom to pass down to their descendants, after all, this place was too far away from their hometown, and once they had a territory, it was basically impossible to leave the territory and move around. If they died, they probably couldn't be buried in their ancestral graves. Although such things are not uncommon in Han Dynasty, it is somewhat difficult to make a decision.
Sun Shao was not in a hurry, and turned to Chen Hai and said: "I looked at the merit book. Although you don't have many direct military exploits, you are remarkable. From now on, you will officially become the governor of Persia, and your headquarters will be in Hama. Yijiao, the scope of management includes the Persian Gulf and the Sea of ??Oman. Other rules remain the same. One year at the administrative office, one year to patrol the territorial waters, and at the same time return to Funan to report on work. The maximum age is sixty. If you retire and return to Funan, I will stay with you in Temu City. A house, you choose an island as a retirement place."
Chen Hai was overjoyed and bowed to thank him. Since Cui Qian became the governor of the Mediterranean, they have already known these rules, and they knew them well without Sun Shao having to explain them. He is still young and has more than 20 years left until he retires at the age of 60. He has not thought about that day yet.
"Ji Gong." Sun Shao turned to Zhuge Zhi. Zhuge Zhi hurriedly left the table and bowed and saluted: "You are the governor of the Red Sea. Your management scope includes the Gulf of Aden and the entire Red Sea. Considering the distance, I will put your seat in Djibouti is relatively close to Aksum. If something happens, General Yu An from Aksum and General Xiahou from Sheba can support you."
"Here, I accept your order." Zhuge Zhi saluted again, turned around and left.
"Ganju!"
Gan Huan had been waiting eagerly. As soon as he heard his name, he jumped out quickly, clasped his hands in his fists, and looked at Sun Shao with his big eyes. Sun Shao waved his hand, signaling him to relax. Gan Yu blinked, but his face remained sullen. "You have done meritorious service in this battle. The approximately one hundred miles south of Basra to the Persian Gulf will become your fiefdom, and the city of Basra will be your seat of government."
Gan Yu was so happy that he couldn't help but bow and thank him, but Sun Shao stopped him and said with a frown: "Gan Yu, this fiefdom belongs to you, but if you set up any checkpoints on the river and charge your own fees, don't Blame me for accepting your title."
"How dare I, sir?" Gan Yu broke into a cold sweat because he was thinking about this. Basra is where the two rivers enter the Persian Gulf. As long as the merchant ships coming from the Persian Gulf pass through his fiefdom, there will be a lot of money in the future. Now that he heard that he was not allowed to set up checkpoints to collect money casually, although he was a little disappointed, compared with losing his fiefdom, he still understood the importance and quickly expressed his position. But think about it, there are lords in more than a dozen cities on this trade road, not only Han people, but also Romans and Kushan people. If they all set up their own checkpoints and charge fees, the final result will definitely be to scare away the merchants. No one can make a fortune.
"This way"?Yes. Sun Shao nodded with satisfaction and shouted again: "Cheng Zi!" "
Cheng Zi quickly got out of the queue.
Sun Shao sealed off one by one, and soon sealed off more than a dozen large and small cities in the two river basins. These people enjoy the taxes of these cities and can live and settle in these cities as their hereditary homes. However, their military power is strictly restricted and is limited to protecting their own safety. When Sun Feng went on an expedition, they also had soldiers who accompanied him. The obligations are basically the same as those of the feudal lords in the Han Dynasty.
Sun Shao finished sealing the generals of the Yue Kingdom, and finally said to Li Yan: "Brother Zhengfang, Ziwen and Zijian plan to stay here. They want to raise horses, but they don't want to spread too far apart, so their territory must be east of the Caspian Sea. An, what about you, do you plan to be a city lord here, or do you plan to go back to Shu? If you still plan to go back, I won¡¯t force you, how about I convert your achievements into property and let you return with a full load? "
When Sun Shaofeng rewarded the generals, Li Yan had been thinking about it. He thought a lot. He didn't want to stay here, but what if he went back? Zhuge Liang ruled the country by law and received relatively few rewards. With Zhang Fei's achievements, he was only a county prince. Zhuge Liang himself was just a rural prince. With his status as Li Yan, he would probably be nothing more than a rural prince until his death. Sun Shao had harvested a vast land this time and was generous. He had more than a dozen people at the level of county marquis. With his contribution, he would definitely be greater than Gan Yu and others. He might even be able to compete with the Cao brothers. The same as the king.
¡°If that¡¯s the case, why do you want to go back to Shu? Anyway, the Kingdom of Shu is not my homeland. The real man just wants to make great achievements and be granted the title of Marquis Yinzi. Now that this opportunity is right in front of him, why are he still hesitating?
"I am also willing to be a city lord."
"Okay, how about Assyria?" Sun Shao drew a circle on the map and looked at Li Yan with questioning eyes: "With this city as the center, it has a radius of three hundred miles, including the western foothills of the Zagros Mountains. your."
Li Yan was satisfied and quickly thanked him.
Sun Shao then asked several generals under Li Yan. Most of them wanted to stay and become city lords. Only Zong Yu insisted on going back, and Sun Shao did not force him. He converted his contribution into property and asked him to take it back with him on the ship. .
Finally, Sun Shao announced that Sun Feng was the lord of the city of Taixi, commanding the fertile land of the two rivers, with Lu Xun as his assistant.
After the rewards were awarded, everyone was immersed in excitement. Taking advantage of everyone's good mood, Sun Shao immediately began to explain the relevant matters, such as everyone should unite as one, not cause internal strife, and not set checkpoints and charges on the river for their own selfish interests, etc. , and after reaching agreement, they swore an oath with them.
Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate him and drank it all in one gulp.
¡¡
In Temu City, Queen Guan Feng, Xia Houhui, Yesudora and others were waiting at Dishi Port. As soon as the phoenix boat of the Queen Mother Bridge docked and just put down the gangplank, Guan Feng stepped on the gangplank and boarded the boat. He walked up the bridge from the cabin, bowed and saluted: "I pay my respects to my queen mother."
"You are always so filial." Daqiao pulled Guan Feng with a smile and said with a pleased smile: "This queen has been a queen for more than ten years, and she still thinks she is a little daughter-in-law?"
Guan Feng smiled and said: "I will be the queen for the rest of my life, and my grandma will also be my grandma."
"Well, I'm lucky." Daqiao smiled cheerfully, watching Xia Houhui and others come forward to salute, holding their hands to greet them, even Yesudora, who was not used to it before, was no exception. The solution is that now there are even black people among Sun Shao's concubines. In comparison, the blond and blue-eyed Yesudra looks more pleasing to the eye.
After the concubines saw the ceremony, a dozen boys headed by Sun Cheng and Sun Ni stepped forward to salute. The clear children's voices came one after another, which made Daqiao excited. They looked over one by one and sighed repeatedly. This one has grown taller again, and that one can walk. Now, this one knows how to call eldest mother, and that one knows how to salute.
"The Queen Mother has a good memory. With so many children, none of them are bad." Zhou Yu said with a smile, holding Da Qiao's arm.
"Well, it's a pity that you girl doesn't work hard." Daqiao looked at Zhou Yu regretfully and said, "When will you give birth to a baby for me to hold?"
Zhou Yu blushed and lowered his head.
"When he comes back this time, I want him to go out with me to relax. If you want to follow me, I still don't believe it. So many women have given birth, but you don't?" Daqiao muttered, not knowing what was going on. Jade was so embarrassed that she felt ashamed. Xiaoqiao pushed the bridge and said angrily: "Sister, can we talk about it after we go back? With so many people standing here, it will affect other ships entering the port."
Only then did Daqiao suddenly realize. He raised his hand and patted his forehead gently, and said with an apologetic smile: "I was so happy to see the children that I lost my temper. I said, sister, look, I have so many grandchildren. "
"I know." Xiaoqiao smiled: "I know your children and grandchildrenOh my God, what a blessing. "
"My aunt is not bad either." Xia Houhui said with a smile: "Princess Dahu never forgets to give birth to a child for the Zhou family even during the war. I just received news that she is pregnant again."
"Really?" Xiaoqiao asked happily, then thought of something again, and sighed: "This is really not the time. Dahu is impatient. She is pregnant at this time, which will affect her fighting, and she will get angry again. Bar?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing. Sun Luban is warlike by nature. No matter what happens, as long as it affects her fighting, she will always be furious. When she was in Ceylon last time, she happened to be pregnant with her first child. She was vomiting and couldn't walk. When she heard that there was unrest in Tianzhu, she suddenly jumped up, put on her armor and ran out, scaring Zhou Xun half to death. But strangely enough, she fought for several days without any reaction at all. As soon as she returned to the Ceylon Correctional Institution, the pregnancy symptoms returned with a vengeance. This time she is going to Wu Guoqing's side. She is also newly pregnant, but no one can stop her. She has good reasons. If there is a war, it will be fine if she has several more pregnancies. If there is no war, the child may not be able to keep it.
"It's okay. It's been almost a year since the Wu Kingdom started, and there hasn't been a fight. How can we just say it?" Daqiao patted her hand and comforted her, "Maybe, if the battle doesn't end in the military camp, the child will fall." It would also be a good thing to have more children.¡±
With a sound of "Puch", several women laughed out loud.
"By the way, where is Fengxian, and when will he be back? Is Aji coming back with him?" Daqiao asked continuously.
"The news from the past two days said that they have arrived in Ceylon. They are expected to stay in Ceylon for a few days to check the coastal defense there. They will be able to return to Temu City by the end of next month. They will definitely have a New Year's Eve dinner with my mother. It's no problem." Guan Feng explained the situation and finally said: "Ah'an came back with him. He said he hadn't seen his mother for many years and missed her very much."
"Well, it's a good thing that he still remembers me, an old woman." Daqiao feigned anger: "You can just travel when you travel, but to find yourself missing out and marrying some barbaric woman as your wife. In this regard, he has less vision than me." She He took Zhang Yu and Yang Huiyu's hands and said, "Such a good woman is the best candidate."
Zhang Yu just blushed. She was Sun Shao's destined bride, and it was obvious that she was the crown princess, but Yang Huiyu couldn't bear it. Although she and Sun Feng had a good relationship, they never made it clear after all. Daqiao said this in front of so many people, which made her a little embarrassed.
Seeing her face full of shame, Daqiao burst out laughing happily and said, "Girl, don't worry, I brought up A'Rang. I still know what kind of woman he likes. If I can be sure of this, No, wouldn¡¯t I have wasted your whole life, girl?¡±
Yang Huiyu was extremely embarrassed, thinking that he should and should not, and that he should not and should not. However, she and Zhang Yu have been with Daqiao for several years, and they are still clear about the relationship between Daqiao and Sun Feng. Knowing that Daqiao's words are not unfounded, they feel sweet in their hearts. In fact, when Yang Hu sent her a reply and said that Sun Feng had given the credit to Brother Adiguai, she understood Sun Feng's intention. However, the prince's family was different from ordinary families. It not only had to consider the feelings of the parties concerned, but also to political interests. Sun Feng's position as the crown prince is becoming more and more stable. Zhang Yu's grandfather is the Hanting Taiwei, his father is the governor of Nanhai, and his mother's line is the Zhuge family, which is strong. Although the Yang family currently has business dealings with the Yue Kingdom, so does Yang Hu. Sun Feng's confidant, but after all, his foundation cannot be compared with Zhang Yu.
At this time, it is very important to have the support of Daqiao. Although Yang Huiyu has no desire for power, in such an environment, it is not something you can decide unilaterally.
"Okay, Mom, if you have anything to say, let's go back to the palace and talk about it. If you keep talking, Ah Yue's husband will be in trouble." Guan Feng said while smiling and looking at Qiao Yue. Qiao Yue's husband, Qin Zeng, is Di Shi Ling, who is responsible for the dispatch of ships in the port. If there is a jam, Qin Zeng is the first person in charge. Qin Zeng was originally sent by Sun Shao to be a general in Liaodong. Later, because Qiaoyue didn't like the division between the two places, she asked Daqiao for mercy and transferred Qin Zeng back. As a result, Qinjing could only watch her former colleagues perform meritorious service.
Qiao Yue pouted but said nothing. She had a headache now. The Liaodong generals have made great achievements in Sassanid and are about to return in triumph. There will definitely be a grand gathering in Temu City. Seeing this, her husband Qin Zeng will definitely regret coming back from Liaodong. Otherwise, Shi Bao will The current position may belong to him, let alone Guan Qiujian.
¡°Okay, okay, we¡¯ll talk about it when we get back to the palace, we¡¯ll talk about it when we get back to the palace,¡± Daqiao said repeatedly.

In Luoyang, Lieutenant Zhang Zhao walked up the steps with steady steps, followed closely by Prime Minister Gu Yong. Emperor Liu Xie stood quietly in the corridor, looking at the two important ministers coming towards him with a smile. , with a humble attitude. Zhang Zhao wrinkled his snow-white eyebrows, turned around and said to Gu Yong: "Yuan Tan,It's up to you to tell the emperor. I really don't know how to explain it to the emperor. Besides, you, the prime minister, are originally responsible for the affairs of the princes and kings. "
Gu Yong smiled silently: "Mr. Zhang, do big men still talk about these rules now? Which king can I, the prime minister, control? Gong Zhang, this is the Sun family's own business. We should wait until His Highness comes back. We can't solve it." "
"Alas, I don't know whether it is a misfortune or a blessing that the man has reached this point. The dignified court is watching the internal fighting among his subjects, but he can only watch from the sidelines. Iwhy do I feel that this is the same as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? "
"What's wrong with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? The Eastern Zhou Dynasty has survived for at least a few hundred years, which is better than the country's demise." Gu Yong disagreed. The two of them had already walked down the steps. They stopped discussing in private and hurriedly walked up the steps and bowed. salute. The emperor was faster than them. He walked forward quickly and his face fell: "You two, think of a solution quickly. Wu and Yue are attacking each other. The court can't just watch like this without any reaction, right?"
The emperor's words were aggrieved, but his eyes were full of ridicule. Sun Shao recommended Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong to the court to serve as Taiwei and prime ministers in order to use them to control the court and deal with Wei and Shu. Unexpectedly, Wei and Shu were fine, but it was Wu and Yue who were in trouble in the end, and it was Yue who took the initiative to attack Wu. What's even more outrageous is that it was Sun Quan's daughter who attacked Wu.
The emperor is a bachelor. He directly pushed this matter to Zhang and Gu. You guys can do it. Chaoting has no face to talk about now. No one takes Chaoting seriously anyway. I want to see you two. What to do.
Zhang Zhao put away his complaints, looked at the emperor seriously, and asked, knowingly: "Your Majesty, why have you summoned this old minister so urgently? What happened?"
The emperor also said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, it's been more than half a year since the war between Wu and Yue. What regulations have you, the lieutenant, made? What kind of communiqu¨¦ does the court want to issue?"
Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and pretended to think for a moment: "Did Wu and Yue fight? Where did your majesty get the news? Which side sent out troops first, how many men and horses are there? Where is the fighting now?"
The emperor was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that this old man would still cheat. He does this every time. Is it interesting? Just as he was about to speak, a Langguan ran in quickly, shouting as he walked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news, good news news, Zhang Zhang Gong Gu Gong!"
Zhang Zhao was famous for his seriousness. Even the emperor and the prince did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him. When these officials saw him, they were like a mouse seeing a cat. They only realized Zhang Zhao was standing beside him when he was halfway talking. The officials were frightened. I can't even say enough.
Zhang Zhao¡¯s face sank: ¡°What good news makes you so upset?¡±
"YueHis Royal Highness the King of Yue's victory memorial!" The official came to his senses and quickly handed over a memorial with both hands.
"Sun Qing is back?" The emperor's eyes lit up and he blurted out. Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong were also overjoyed when they heard this. Zhang Zhao stretched out his hand to pick up the memorial, but Gu Yong pulled him from behind. Then he felt rude and retracted his hand. The emperor took the memorial and opened it, quickly browsed through it, and suddenly said with joy: "Now, my general Fuyi has returned victoriously and is going to the capital to offer prisoners. Such a grand event should be shared with the other three kings. So. Duke Gu immediately issued an edict, ordering the three kings of Wei, Shu and Wu to come to court in March next year."
Gu Yong was also overjoyed when he heard this. Usually he, the prime minister, issued an edict to the three kings of Wei, Shu and Wu. The three kings ignored him and no one took him seriously. But this time it was different. Sun Shao was going to enter. They dare not not come to the capital to offer prisoners. As long as they get to the capital, the matter between Wu and Yue will be settled. These days, you have to be strong in everything you do. A majestic emperor has to rely on the support of the King of Yue to have the confidence to speak. If he really wants to take the exam, this emperor is really a coward. But thinking about what life the emperor lived when Cao Cao was in power, he still has a little face after all.
"Did the King of Yue win?" Zhang Zhao regained his composure and said calmly, stroking his beard.
"That's right." The Emperor also put away his smile and handed the memorial to Zhang Zhao: "Lieutenant, when it comes to using troops, General Fuyi has his own way. Even the Romans and the Kushans have become my mercenaries. Army, it¡¯s really satisfying.¡±
Zhang Zhao is an old man, how could he not understand the meaning, but he has reached the point of being extremely invisible, and said calmly: "Yes, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has the ability to use soldiers. When he first learned from me about the Spring and Autumn Period, I I can see it.¡±
The emperor is speechless, this old cunning guy is really unwilling to take soft and hard advice, there is nothing you can do against him. What does Sun Shao's fighting have to do with you? Have you ever won a battle? He no longer understood Zhang Zhao, and turned to Gu Yong and said: "Gu Gong, General Fuyi has gone on an expedition of thousands of miles to raise the country's prestige outside the country. It should be given a heavy reward. What do you think should be the reward?"
Gu Yong smiled slightly: "This is naturally the result of His Majesty's Sacred Heart."?. "
The emperor's mouth twisted: "What I mean is that the Luoyang court is short of a general who can control the four countries. I'm just afraid that he will get used to being free outside and refuse to come to Luoyang to suffer injustice."
Zhang Zhao rolled his eyes and pretended not to hear.
