Chapter 39
Liang Xiao did not ask why Huan Jun’s sudden change of mind.
Huan Jun was extremely skilled, and Huan Jun could naturally hear clearly what he and Liu Ling said under the grape trellis. If it was true that Huan Jun did not get the opportunity to fight on the battlefield, he suffered 16 years of imprisonment. Now the opportunity is delivered to his door, it is really hard to refuse.
In history, Liu Ling claimed to be "verbal argument" and I am not bullying me. To be honest, if he hadn't known the general trend of history and knew that the book of King Huainan would not be successful, he might not have refused this temptation, and he would have been fooled by Liu Ling long ago.
Just like a university student suddenly receives a high salary from a Fortune 500 company, how many can be indifferent to fame and fortune and remain indifferent?
"A Xiao, bring the crossbow and we go to the river to hunt."
"Okay." Liang Xiao responded, brought a small crossbow and accompanied Huan Jun out of the door.
The neighbors I met along the way were very polite when they saw the master and apprentice. Even though Huan Jun and Liang Xiao had already walked far, they still admired him. Originally, they didn't know much about Huan Jun, and just thought it was a down-and-out prisoner. The nobleman came for Liang Xiao. Now that they learned that the nobleman's real target was him, they immediately changed their views.
No wonder Liang Xiao is so backbone. He turns out to be a backbone master. He is indeed a famous teacher who produces a good disciple. He is worthy of being a good man of Wu Chu.
The master and disciple left the city, came to the riverside, and along the river bank, and unknowingly came to Hangou in the east of the city. Seeing the King of Wu Temple from afar, Huan Jun's eyes became complicated. He limped to the King of Wu Temple and stood quietly.
"A Xiao, my surname is Huan, my name is Yuan, and my courtesy name is Xuanbo. I was once a general of the State of Wu. I once commanded ten thousand soldiers and was the youngest general under the command of the King of Wu. When I was first awarded the seal of the general, I was only twenty-three years old."
Liang Xiao nodded. He had guessed it. However, the meaning of Huan Jun himself was completely different. But he didn't expect that Huan Jun would become a general at such a young age, so he was in his early forties at most, but he looked so old.
"When the King of Wu raised his army, I suggested that Wu had many infantry soldiers, which were beneficial to the dangers, and Han had many chariots and cavalry, which were beneficial to the plains. If you want to seize the world, you should first occupy Luoyang, eat grain from Ao Cang, and seize the dangers of mountains and rivers, and then order the princes."
Liang Xiao was secretly surprised. This move was poisonous enough, and it was like a sword to seal the throat. At that time, Emperor Jing of Han ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable, he adopted the strategy of Chao Cuo to reduce the vassals. The princes and kings were disloyal to the court. Once they controlled Luoyang, blocked the Han army west of Hangu and joined forces with the princes of Shandong. Even if they could not attack Guanzhong, they could still win the world, at least they would not be defeated like they did later.
It can be seen that Mr. Huan has such insights that it is not the courage of an ordinary man. No wonder Liu Ling traveled thousands of miles to Guangling to invite him.
"Why didn't the King of Wu adopt the master's plan?"
"The veteran general under the King of Wu said that I was too young and was only suitable for charging and not knowing the big plan." Huan Jun smiled bitterly: "The King of Wu adopted their big plan, was blocked by Liang, and was cut off from the food route by Zhou Yafu, and was defeated in March."
"These veterans have misled people."
"No, it's because I'm too young." Huan Jun shook his head. "I'm a general in the cold and humble family, but I don't know how to be honest, and it's inevitable that people can look at me sideways. As the saying goes, don't be the leader of power, you will be blamed. I'm a role model."
Liang Xiao frowned. Liu Ling said that Huan Jun came from a general's sect, but Huan Jun said that he was a family of Han Gu, which was a bit incompatible. However, in his impression, there were indeed no famous generals named Huan in the early Western Han Dynasty. Maybe Liu Ling knew that Huan Jun was listening and deliberately said something nice.
"The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and awarded titles for military merits, but poor families rarely had high titles. There are two reasons: one is that the battlefield is dangerous, and if it is not for the extraordinary talent, it is difficult to fight for the rest of a hundred battles. The second is that the army is controlled by the powerful and powerful, and the poor families are difficult to reward for their achievements. The merits of bloody battles are often obtained by the powerful and powerful."
Liang Xiao smiled helplessly. He guessed what Huan Jun meant. He wanted to make merits and be named a marquis without anyone else. He wanted to make merits and be named a marquis without his own ability. He knew that what Huan Jun was talking about was the truth. It was difficult for poor families to become officials, and it was even more difficult to be named a marquis. The famous general Li Guang fought for his whole life, but failed to be named a marquis, which left behind a thousand-year sigh of "Feng Tang is old, Li Guang is difficult to be named". Even if he has talent in archery, can he compare with the flying general Li Guang?
It is so difficult to be a marquis and generals with his own abilities. If you want to surrender, the best way is to rely on the powerful and enter the Huainan Prince's Mansion as a guest. Even if the Huainan King fails to die in the end, he can still be the Huainan Prince's Mansion as a springboard and escape before the Huainan King rises up. Even if you rebel with the Huainan King and surrender to the court, it is a good choice.
If you want to be an official, you should be recruited to kill people and set fires.
"It is difficult to ascend to the sky with his military merits. Liu Ling is right. Once he enters the Huainan Prince's Mansion, many things you didn't dare to imagine will be within your reach. If you don't say anything else, you can at least have a war horse and learn to ride and shoot, and I can't give you all these."
Liang Xiao smiled and asked back, "Is this why the master lets go?"
Huan Jun nodded. "I can also have food and clothing when entering the Huainan Prince's Mansion, and I don't have to worry about my livelihood anymore."
"Why didn't the master agree to Liu Ling on the spot?"
Huan Jun smiled, showing a little cunning. "This is the way to cultivate fame. Huainan Prince's Mansion is known as a talented person. Liu Ling regards himself as intelligent. If he can stump her, it will be of great benefit to you. If he enters Huainan Prince's Mansion in the future, no one dares to underestimate you and my master and disciple. Even if he does not enter Huainan Prince's Mansion, Liu Ling can have nothing to say and will not turn against you."
Liang Xiao blinked. "Master, those veterans were really blind back then. The defeat of King Wu was also God's will."
"Oh—" Huan Jun sighed, feeling very melancholy.
...
A new swing was set up at the Hu family's west yard, where Liu Ling was staying.
Liu Ling was still dressed in men's clothes, but she was not as reserved as she was at the Liang family. She sat on the swing, holding the very smooth-sanded leather rope in both hands, floating back and forth, and her eyes were as erratic as the swing.
"Am I wrong?" Liu Ling tilted his head, his eyes were puzzled, and he was puzzled. "It's not that this little clerk dared not refuse openly and deliberately used this question to swear me, right? Humph, what real insight can you have?"
When Liu Ling thought of Liang Xiao's smiling face, he became angry and cursed several times, but unexpectedly a few red clouds flew out of his face.
"Master Weng?" Lei was interrupted by Liu Ling's random thoughts and stabilized his swing.
"What's the result?" Liu Ling asked quickly, covering up his panic.
Lei frowned and pointed to the leuko beside him, as if he had encountered the most incredible thing. "How could this be? No matter how high Qianqiu swings, it seems that the time for every ten swings is almost the same."
"Take it seriously?" Liu Ling exclaimed, his eyes lit up. "As far as this is concerned, that little master is right?"
"I don't know if he said it right, at least it's different from our common sense."
"Hey!" Liu Ling clenched his fists hard. "I can't tell that this cunning child is really a bit unique."
Lei looked at Liu Ling in surprise, his eyes showing a sad look.
Liang Xiao, who was practicing ejaculation, sneezed twice in a row, and his snot spurted a long way. He rubbed his nose and muttered, "Who said to me behind my back? People are really afraid of being famous and pigs, and they are too many people thinking about it, which is not a good thing."
