Three Kingdoms

There are also many things to pay attention to when setting up a water village.

Just like the cavalry camps deliberately set up relatively wide roads to allow the cavalry to quickly assemble and attack, the water fortress is naturally also somewhat particular in order to allow warships to attack.

First of all, there must be a wide gate that can be opened quickly, and then there must be an area for warships to assemble, and there must be reasonably regulated river channels to facilitate the berthing of warships. In addition, the sentry towers, observation decks, side doors that facilitate the rapid entry and exit of small boats, and the planning of the logistics area for transporting and loading and unloading materials all test the abilities of navy generals.

At present, the strongest naval force of the Han Dynasty is naturally Jiangdong, and among Jiangdong, the strongest naval force is of course Zhou Yu.

Therefore, naval drills are naturally an important part of demonstrating Jiangdong's military strength. But for some reason, the navy drill originally scheduled to be held today has been delayed in starting.

Among the navy ships, Zhou Yu's face was as golden as paper. The surrounding military academies, large and small, were panicked and screamed loudly!

"Captain!" 』

"The governor vomited blood!" 』

"Send to the doctor!" 』

"Doctor!" 』

"Quickly..."

There was a commotion.

The soldiers running back and forth, the panicked generals, the frustrated civil servants, and the busy doctors formed a chaotic scene...

The other side.

Sun Hao did not go to the water village. He asked for leave because he was sick.

This is his temptation.

It's like when a company celebration is about to start, and suddenly someone is absent and says he wants to pee. He will be disliked by others, but he will not say that he will go online immediately, and he will masturbate that person to the end on the spot.

A company leader, no matter how stupid he is, will not use poop and piss as a reason for punishment.

Zhou Yu would definitely not get angry in vain and want to deprive him of his military position because his subordinates were sick.

Sun Hao had even made preparations. As soon as Zhou Yu's visiting doctor or military academy set off, he would immediately "get sick" and go to the water village!

Even if Zhou Yu wanted to use the topic to his advantage, he couldn't do it.

If Zhou Yu was in good health, he would have made some moves anyway, and then Sun Hao could naturally decide his next move based on Zhou Yu's corresponding moves. But what Sun Hao never expected was that the shocking news came that Zhou Yu suddenly vomited blood and collapsed among the navy!

While Sun Hao hurriedly sent people to find out what happened, he pretended to express his concern for Zhou Yu and even sent his own doctors to diagnose and treat Zhou Yu. After all, had he been pretending to be ill before? Of course, he needed a doctor's certificate, which came in handy now, although Sun Hao knew that his doctor probably wouldn't be able to get close to Zhou Yu's location.

Sure enough, the doctor came back not long after.

It was said that Governor Zhou declined, saying that a doctor was already treating him, and it was just a minor illness, so there was no need to make a fuss.

Then another military academy came to convey an order, saying that the navy military exercise had been postponed, and asked Sun Hao to wait for follow-up notice. He was not allowed to leave without permission and return to his station without orders.

Sun Hao said he was taking orders, but in his heart he was inexplicably horrified.

Zhou Yu was ill, so it was naturally impossible to continue the military exercises.

So since the military exercise cannot continue, why is it necessary to keep Sun Hao? Are you still not allowed to return to your base?

Is this a rhythm where everyone is sick and needs to be treated together?

Sun Hao suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head, as if an invisible sword was placed on the back of his neck.

In the afternoon, the confidants sent by Sun Hao finally got the "latest" and "most accurate" news about Zhou Yu's illness, and claimed that they had spent a lot of money and found a lot of people. People just barely put together the "real situation" of the matter.

Zhou Yu is indeed sick.

Zhou Yu had to hold on for the military exercise, but after arriving at the building, he felt a little unwell again.

Zhou Yu took the golden elixir and vomited blood and fell unconscious on the spot.

Everyone knows what happens next...

"Golden elixir?" ! ” Sun Hao’s eyes widened.

The confidant nodded and said, "It's Master Ge Tian's golden elixir!" 』

In the cognition of later generations, Jindan and Wushisan are basically equivalent to drugs, which belong to the category of self-harm. However, in the Han Dynasty, even modern times, well, and modern times, there are still a large number of people, even though Even people with a certain amount of knowledge can still do these things.

For example, in modern times, the fairy water, "radium drink", is said to be able to prevent cancer and cure diseases...

During one of Marie Curie's exposures to radium, part of the skin on her fingers became necrotic due to the radiation, but new skin grew back soon after. Then some experts claimed that radium could "rejuvenate" the skin, and thus the birth of There were a lot of cosmetics rich in "radium", as well as facial masks with "radium" elements, and full-body "radium" SPA. At that time, European and American women desperately applied it on their bodies and faces, just like what modern women have heard Black mud can beautify your skin, whether it is dug from real sewers or shell powder mixed with melanin, no matter what you apply on it, I will apply it on it too.

Then, radium water was born.

A large number of people began to take radium water, and radiation sickness gradually increased. However, for the sake of profit, the capitalists bribed doctors and asked the doctors to diagnose the patients with other illnesses. Anyway, as long as it was not radiation sickness, it would not matter how many people died.

In the end, there was a rich second generation who was obsessed with radium water. He was a noble son in the upper class. He died of illness because of drinking a lot of radium water, which suddenly made the whole matter a big deal. He tore off the fig leaf of the capitalists and won the lawsuit. Radium water was eventually banned...

After all, for ordinary people, the death of millions is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning, and not even a single news item. But if someone from the upper class dies, it will immediately be the first in the hot search list.

In future generations, it is true that there is no radium water, but there are still those necklaces, compasses, rough mineral stones, wealth-gathering ornaments, etc. that represent having various magical "energy"...

If you really want to get some money, that's it. At most, you will be laughed at as a fool. What I'm most afraid of is that these things really have "energy" and really "accelerate" the process of life!

Just like the golden elixir that Zhou Yu ate, if it was just for making mud dumplings with one hand, eating it would only cause diarrhea, but Ge Tianshi's golden elixir was a "genuine" golden elixir that truly had "energy"!

Sun Hao walked around a few times with his hands behind his back, and finally completed the whole thing by himself.

He didn't think it was a problem with the golden elixir. After all, it was produced by Ge Tianshi. Even if it was not a national product, it was a provincial brand, and its "quality" was guaranteed. Therefore, Zhou Yu's disease was too serious. So much so that the golden elixir was actually ineffective against Zhou Yu's illness!

Zhou Yu is really done this time!

So, what will happen if Zhou Yu is really finished? Zhou Yu is seriously ill now and may not be cured. He is currently in a coma. What will he do if he wakes up briefly?

Sun Hao imagined replacing himself in Zhou Yu's position, and then thought, why should he stay?

Sun Hao thought of one of the possibilities, and suddenly his whole body trembled, his tailbone felt hot, and the back of his head twitched...

"If you stay here, you will be killed!" Sun Hao said urgently, "Here comes someone!" Prepare quickly and return quickly! 』

……(〃′ Pan`)q……

A few days later, when Sun Hao fled back to his base, not only did no one come to investigate his guilt, but news came that Zhou Yu had died!

Sun Hao was a little hesitant at first, thinking that although Zhou Yu was seriously ill, it could only last three to five months, so why did he die so quickly?

As a result, before Sun Hao could make any decision, news came again.

Chaos in Wu County!

The civil servants headed by Er Zhang wanted to take this opportunity to consolidate the military power in the hands of military generals, and dispatched generals such as Zhu Zhi and Zhu Huan who were closer to the gentry system to prepare to receive the military legacy left by Zhou Yu. However, they were met by veteran generals such as Huang Gai. Strong dissatisfaction!

I don’t know who made the move first, but Wu County is in chaos now!

Sun Hao hurriedly summoned his confidants to discuss countermeasures, and also invited Diao Xuan from before as a staff officer. Then Diao Xuan strongly suggested that troops should be sent to quell the chaos! It is said that Wujun is currently in a very delicate state of balance, and Sun Hao is the point that breaks this balance! As soon as Sun Hao arrives in Wu County, he will definitely be able to choose to join a certain side. Of course, Diao Xuan's suggestion is to join the Jiangdong gentry side, and then take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation and rise to power!

Sun Hao thought for a long time and readily agreed.

Because there’s no better excuse than this! Not rebellion, but quelling chaos! Even if there is really a problem, is it possible that the Sun family can just sit idly by and ignore it when they see the Sun family's foundation being damaged?

Sun Hao gathered all the soldiers stationed in the city. Just like Liu Bei took away all the soldiers in Gaotang County in order to rush to the Jujube Alliance. This is an all-out bet, with all your wealth on the line.

Before the army. There is a high platform made of earth.

In the middle of the high earthen platform, a red flag stood, with the black character "Sun" in the middle with his teeth and claws waving.

Since Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan could unify Jiangdong, Sun Hao felt that he could do the same!

Under the flag, cattle, sheep and dolphins were tied up.

The animal's mouth was tied up and its hooves were tied tightly so that it could not move. Maybe some medicine was also given to them, but the cows, sheep, and dolphins were all lying on the ground without much struggle.

Sun Hao originally wanted to kill one or two of Sun Quan's officials to sacrifice the flag, but was stopped by Diao Xuan. Diao Xuan said that Sun Hao was still in the name of quelling the rebellion, and the people who killed Sun Quan would be forgotten, which was not a good thing. After hearing this, Sun Hao felt that it made sense, so he changed it to horses, cows and sheep.

Do you herd for the emperor...?

Naturally, the shepherd has the power of life and death over cattle, sheep, and dolphins.

Several large drums were beating loudly.

Diao Xuan, wearing a red and black formal suit, raised his arms and shouted, "The auspicious time has come!" Master Wang comes out! 』

Hundreds of soldiers with loud voices stood behind Diao Xuan, shouting in unison: "Auspicious time!" Auspicious time! Auspicious time! Get out! Get out! Get out! 』

Then all the soldiers also shouted together, as if the mountains were roaring and the tsunami was roaring, which was indeed quite impressive.

Behind the earth barrier, there was a circle of brocade barriers. Sun Hao stood behind the brocade barrier, already wearing armor and stomach.

In normal times, Sun Hao wore scholar's clothes most of the time in order to appear closer to the Jiangdong nobles. Today, he took off his scholar's robe and put on a military uniform, but he also felt a little murderous.

Standing next to Sun Hao were the private soldiers that Sun Hao had carefully cultivated over the years. They were all wearing armor and standing tall and mighty.

Sun Hao climbed onto the high platform.

"Bring it up!" ” Sun Hao waved.

Soldiers carried two heavy boxes, one on the left and one on the right, and opened them beside Sun Hao.

The luster of gold, silver and copper suddenly shone, shining brightly in the sunlight.

"The Sun family's Jiangdong foundation!" How can you not allow others to covet you! How can we stand by and watch when the Sun family is in trouble now? ! ” Sun Hao shouted loudly, and he was very righteous, “Here comes the right master to protect Jiangdong!” Someone swore an oath to this! If you follow someone, someone will be rich and noble with you! Someone come! Send it on! 』

Immediately, a military academy came forward. After receiving the money, they distributed it to the soldiers in the audience one by one.

The originally solemn scene suddenly became chaotic.

The soldiers who had received the money happily hid the money in their arms or in the middle of their belts, while those who had not yet received the money stretched their necks and waited, and even couldn't help but move forward to collect it. The time queue suddenly dispersed.

Diao Xuan, who was standing aside, couldn't help but close his eyes.

He really couldn't figure out why Sun Hao would do this?

But it seems that this makes some sense?

It's like buying a luxury product or getting a fruity mobile phone, and you feel like you are superior to others. Sun Hao felt that his status, authority, and the current private soldiers were all created by money. So in order to "boost morale and boost the morale of the army," Sun Hao took out his most cherished money and distributed it to these subordinates. It seemed that No problem?

After everyone got the money, Sun Hao came under the flag again, then pulled out his sword and stabbed the cow in the neck. Blood spurted out and splashed on the flag!

"Come out!" 』

……(*`ェ′*)……

Sun Hao took action.

Since the slogan is to quell chaos and restore order, of course it is impossible to conquer the surrounding counties and towns along the way. Similarly, these counties along the way would not stop Sun Hao. At most, they would send people to inquire, and then send some cattle and wine to express condolences, while dispatching six hundred miles to rush to Wu County to deliver the letter.

Sun Hao's army was not small. Normally, the baggage should be quite large. However, in order to rush on the road as quickly as possible, Sun Hao set off without fully gathering. Fortunately, because the banner was more or less politically correct, the baggage could be sent out one after another, and there were food counties along the way, so there wouldn't be any problems for the time being.

In the counties in Jiangdong, especially around Wu County, there seemed to be mixed opinions about Sun Hao's arrival.

Jiangdong seemed to have a slightly strange calmness at the moment.

It feels a bit like isolation again.

Just like Wu Jun is Wu Jun and Jiangdong is Jiangdong.

Is what Sun Hao really wants to do is to quell the chaos?

Most people don't believe it.

But so what?

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, believe it first and respect it anyway.

Everyone knew that the news of Zhou Yu's death had just come out, and Sun Hao rushed straight to Wu County, as if he was eager to sell it without tearing off the outer packaging. It was so simple and crude that it made people speechless.

According to common sense, how can this be done?

No matter how good Zhou Yu is, he can still be regarded as the pillar of Jiangdong!

Once this pillar falls, what will happen to outsiders, but the brothers in the family will tear down the house first?

When war breaks out, who is the unluckiest person?

They must be ordinary people in Jiangdong.

But the question is who cares right now?

If the war really spreads and causes countless people to lose money and lose their homes, it will be the people's misfortune and has nothing to do with the children of the noble clan.

When the fuss gets bigger later, or it is said that it was all the minions below who misunderstood the superior's intentions and things were not done well, if they are still not relieved, they will arrest and kill two people who have no backing and no background, so that the common people can complain. .

This routine is basically the same.

Therefore, the middle- and upper-class officials and gentry children from the surrounding counties were actually watching the show.

It was like Sun Quan and Sun Hao were racing the tortoise and the hare, and then a group of animals in the forest stood aside and watched the fun with laughter. As long as it doesn't prevent them from making money, it doesn't matter if the tortoise wins or the hare wins.

However, this does not mean that these people have no action. It more or less makes these people a little nervous. At least in the wine shops and tile houses, there are fewer voices of unscrupulous discussions about the court situation. Many nobles The disciples simply stayed behind closed doors, huddled in their own manors or forts, waiting for the dust to settle.

At the same time, counties and counties in various places, in order to stabilize military morale, were extremely tolerant of their soldiers. Some counties even paid off the original unpaid wages, which greatly enriched the pockets of these soldiers.

Without pay, these soldiers would of course have no motivation to cause trouble...

At the same time, these soldiers were given holidays, and the more honest soldiers went back to their homes to stay with their wives and children. Purchasing items for the family, repairing leaks, renovating fences, etc., made his wife and children, who might have complained to some extent, now smile.

There are other people who have enough money to feed the whole family, but it seems like their hands and hearts are burning with this money. They take advantage of the holidays to go to the surrounding cities to eat, drink and play, or enter wine shops or brothels. Those delicate little ladies in the county originally looked down upon the military men. However, when these military men became tyrannical, who would have trouble with money? I'll just have to make do with it.

"The First Cause of All Realms"

Ordinary people may not understand why these soldiers are suddenly treated favorably, but most of the nobles know it well, so when they see these soldiers being drunk or being arrogant and unreasonable, they pretend not to see it. , anyway, it’s just such a period of time.

Then some places even opened porridge shacks so that some refugees could have a bite. It's like some place in the future will issue food coupons or discount coupons.

Is it stable? There are still means.

If the refugees can have something to eat, they will naturally stop making trouble.

For these local forces in Jiangdong, it doesn't actually matter who is the master of Jiangdong, Sun Quan or Sun Hao.

The important thing is that my family has a lot of wealth. As for who will be the Lord of Jiangdong in this name...

Haha, it doesn't matter.
