Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 787

Sun Quan used troops in the Jianghuai area many times and all failed. Especially after the Xiaoyaojin War, he became the laughing stock of the Wei people. Cao Ren, who was in Shouchun, did not pay attention to the tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers.

If Jiangdong wants to take the Huaisi area, he must first attack the city of Hefei, which guards the waterways. At this time, the guard of Hefei will be the former Yangzhou Biejia, and the current Dongzhong Lang will be Jiang Ji.

During Sun Quan's assembly in Ruxuwu, Cao Pi sent Jiang Ji, a familiar man, to settle in Hefei.

Discovering that Jiangdong soldiers and horses were diverted to Junqiu County, Jiang Ji sent scouts to report the battle situation to Cao Ren. Seeing that Sun Quan was playing new tricks, Cao Ren quickly assembled Shouchun soldiers and horses to go south.

Because Jiangdong soldiers and horses were caught by surprise, before Cao Ren's reinforcements arrived, they surrounded Junqiu. Afterwards, Jiangdong soldiers and horses put up a sign in the northwest of Junqiu County, waiting for Cao Ren's reinforcements. The purpose of Hefei's appearance is to confuse Cao Ren and want to keep people in Hefei.

Zhou Tai, the governor of Ruxu, blamed himself for Han Zong's incident, so he asked Sun Quan to be the vanguard in the front. He led tens of thousands of Ruxu defenders who knew the shame and bravery, and fought head-on with Cao Ren's vanguard, fighting several battles The two sides fought back and forth, regaining the confidence of Jiangdong soldiers.

After the war in Huainan started, the war shifted the internal conflicts in Jiangdong. Sun Quan, who was in command on the warship, finally enjoyed a little peace.

It is worthwhile to take a longer time. Maybe Xiangyang Guan Yu will really make a move when he sees an opportunity. At that time, Han Zong will be placed on the table as a bargaining chip.

Grain ships left Jianye Port one by one to Chaohu Lake. Zhuge Jin went to Xiangyang as an envoy, asking Guan Yu to continue to work hard in Nanyang area, and the merchant ships prepared by Hu Ke for Shiyan and Sun Bu also sailed into the Yangtze River and headed for their destination. Go to Guangzhou.

Shiqian has a wife and no children, and has no surplus money in Jianye, so he inherits the family business with nothing.

During the voyage of the merchant ship, Shi Qian often blows the wind on the bow of the ship with a sad face. Seeing that the other party’s will is depressed, which may not be beneficial to take away the control of Jiao Zhi, Sun Bu comforts him: “The eldest son is about to become the head of the Shi family, but I think You seem to be preoccupied, I don't know what worries you have? You might as well tell me and I will share your worries for you. "

Shi Qian shook his head lightly: "It's been so many years since I left my hometown, I really didn't expect to be able to go back. I'm very nervous now, and I don't have confidence in winning the succession."

"Your eldest son has been a pawn for a scholar's family for many years. If you have no credit, you should have worked hard? What's more, you are the eldest son. Who dares to compete with you for the heir? I am the first in Jiangdong not to agree." Sun Bu patted his chest with a stern face. .

Shi Qian smiled wryly: "My third brother is quite ambitious, and he is also my father's favorite son, otherwise I would not be the one who went to Jiangdong."

Sun Bu replied affirmatively: "Duke Weiyan (Shi Xie) has no choice. If he insists on abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, he will wait to be completely annexed by Lantian, and the Shi family will disappear completely in Jiaozhou. The king of Wu will send troops to Jiaozhou only when he withdraws his troops from Huainan."

"But father is seriously ill, maybe the third brother has already taken power, and I don't even have any heirs." Shi Qian's expression was sad.

Sun Bu sneered and said, "If you get the right way, you can help but if you don't, you can't help much. Your family is not limited to Shi Hui, and you won't be able to hold power in a short time. Duke Weiyan mentioned in his letter to the king that the second son (Shi Zhi) might take over. The prefect of Hepu, he is a scholar who is also willing to compromise and surrender to the thief. He should empathize with you and support you in the position. As for the heirs, you don’t have to worry about it. When the eldest son becomes the master of the cochin, are you afraid that there will not be enough women and children? There are people vying for succession”

"My second brother and I have a good relationship, and I don't know if he is still in Guangzhou." Shi Qian said to himself.

"Stop thinking about it, go back to the cabin and rest, the road to Jiaozhou is still far away." Sun Bu patted Shiyan on the shoulder.

"En." Shi Yan nodded lightly, then dragged his aging body, and walked tremblingly into the cabin, his physical condition was much worse than Shi Zhi's.

In early November, the Huainan battlefield had already fallen frost, but Shiyan and Sun Bu did not feel the chill. After the merchant ships turned from Lishui to Yushui, the waves in the water became much warmer.

The merchant ship passed Guangxin, and finally stopped at Duanxi County Wharf for the night, and arrived at the terminal at Panyu Port at noon the next day. Sun Bu felt a little nervous. The reason why he didn’t dare to stay overnight at Guangxin was because he was worried about the strict inspection of the big wharf. , he was afraid that he would be accidentally exposed.

Jingnan and Jiaozhou are mainly used for shipping, so the wharf is like a rest station for later generations. All counties have carefully built to receive passing ships. There are restaurants, hotels, and shops on the wharf, and many wharves have been aggregated into new villages.

The supplies on the merchant ship were exhausted. Thinking that they would arrive at the destination tomorrow, they did not resupply supplies at the Xixian Wharf. The crew on board could only go ashore to eat and drink.

Sun Bu went ashore with the sailors. When he was buying food at the pier, he found newspapers for sale by accident, so he bought the latest issue of "Lingnan Daily", and returned to the ship immediately after seeing the contents of the newspaper.

"Young Master, look." Sun Bu put the newspaper in front of Shiyan, on which there was news that Jiuzhen and Hepu had changed the sheriff.

Shiyan thought that Shizhi was still in Guangzhou, but he was a little surprised when he saw the Lingnan News, "It's so fast."

"The second son is not in Guangzhou, so we don't want to venture into the city. The merchants who launched the rebellion in Guangzhou three years ago disappeared without a trace. The investigation in the city must be very strict. Let's change the ship directly at the Panyu Wharf." Sun Bu Said with a frown.

"I will listen to General Sun's arrangement." Shi Qian has no ability, and although he is going back to succeed him at this time, he is just a puppet.

The two ate some cooked food casually, and the merchant ship left the pier for Panyu at dawn the next day, and finally arrived an hour earlier.

Soon after Sun Bu disembarked, he inquired about the news that there would be a merchant ship going to Cochin tomorrow. He spent a lot of money to book a few places, and took a few entourages to spend the night at the pier inn.

The ID cards for several people were prepared by Hu Ke in Jianye in advance, and the checkpoints on the road were unimpeded, so they had no doubts about checking in at the inn.

Because he didn't want to live with other guests, Sun Bu deliberately rented a small courtyard and lived in a room next to the courtyard gate.

After nightfall, Sun Bu, out of a soldier's instinct, noticed some abnormal noises in the courtyard. He was worried about the safety of the soldiers, so he cautiously went out to investigate.

But just as the door was pushed open, two black shadows flashed from the left and right, and the two strong men firmly controlled Sun Bu.

"What are you trying to do? Are you a bandit?" Sun Bu shouted in panic.

The two men didn't answer, and soon after, they saw someone escorting Shiyan and his wife from the guest room in the backyard, and several servants who followed him were also tied up.

"Lang Lang Qian Kun, Hao Hao Ming Yue, how dare you."

Sun Bu yelled loudly, trying to attract the attention of the inn, but before he could finish speaking, Song Chen came out from the darkness, "Stop pretending, Jiangdong works carefully."
