Volume II, Chapter 32: Acknowledgment

After the military council finished drawing up the follow-up strategic plan for the Yellow Turban forces led by Bo Cai, the generals in the account were naturally happy or sad, but they also received all the military orders, and each department went back to properly arrange the details.

Only Sun Jian was outside the Chinese army's tent and waited until Liu Wei came out of the military tent, and then greeted him with a smile.

Liu Wei didn't know why, of course, he didn't have much preparation, so he was taken aback, he didn't think that Sun Wentai, who was just and heroic in his impression, would have such a sophisticated and sleek side, but when he was undecided, he heard Sun Jian take the lead and said: "Your Highness, ...... minister"

When Liu Wei heard this, he immediately waved his hand to interrupt Sun Jian, and said: "I was in the Chinese military tent, I have already said, now that the army is a general, don't call me any more Your Highness, I am the same as Brother Wentai Sima of other departments, if Brother Wentai looks up to me, call me Liu Sima is, if you look down on me, call me Liu Bian's name, it is okay." ”

Sun Jian didn't even dare to say in his mouth, he hurriedly bowed his hands, and the title in his mouth was still the same: "His Royal Highness is the prince of the Han Dynasty, and the minister is just a small official, how dare he compare with His Royal Highness. ”

"Then it's up to Brother Wentai." Liu Wei knew that it was not an overnight thing to change the inherent ideas of these big men and loyal people, so he didn't care about it, so he continued to ask: "Brother Wentai stayed outside the tent alone and waited, you can't just say this. ”

Sun Jian's bowing expression remained unchanged, but he smiled again and again, and said loudly: "Naturally not, naturally not, the ministers are outside the tent, but they hope to thank His Highness for his kindness in person." ”

"Good intentions?" Liu Wei was a little dazed: "What kind of intentions?" ”

As Zhu Gong said, if he can capture Nanton, he will fight the trapped beasts in Yingchuan and Yingyang, and the defeat will not be too sooner or later, so it is naturally a great achievement to break Nanton."

Liu Wei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "In this way, Brother Wentai wants to thank me for my support today?" So you robbed Chun Yuqiong of his great merit? ”

Sun Jian was noncommittal, but just smiled dryly: "The minister said in vain, His Royal Highness seems to have a lot of discord with Chun Yu Duwei, the minister is bold, but why dare to ask?" ”

Liu Wei pulled Sun Jian forward for a few more feet, and stayed away from the big tent of the Chinese army, and then said with a smile: "Brother Wentai might as well ask me, Chun Yuqiong is far better than you regardless of family background and official position, not to mention that if you don't talk about Chun Yuqiong, there are many Simas and captains in the military tent in Fangcai, and the conditions of all parties are better than Brother Wentai, and why do I recommend you, yes or no?" ”

Sun Jian was also extremely embarrassed to poke at the center of Liu's defense, so he could only reply with a dry smile: "Your Highness is smart and transparent, and I dare not distinguish it anymore." ”

Liu Wei was a little excited in his heart, but he couldn't say "Because you are Sun Wentai, Sun Ce, Sun Quan's father, the future big boss of Jiangdong, one of the three giants of the Three Kingdoms", so he had to smile and say: "It's just because Brother Wentai is worth it." ”

Sun Jian was stunned when he heard this, and said inexplicably: "Is it worth it?" What is it worth? ”

"It's worth entrusting your life." Liu Wei put his hands behind his back, looked up at the middle-aged man who was half his body taller and said with a smile: "Sun Wentai Jiangdong Tiger, brave and fearless, not afraid of life and death, with a tiger like you on my side, I am naturally relieved." ”

When Sun Jian heard this, he looked ashamed, sighed and said: "The general of the defeated army, how dare he be called a tiger, His Royal Highness trusts him so much, and the minister is really ashamed." ”

"What's the shame?" Liu Wei asked.

"Your Highness doesn't know, although the Nanton moth thief is as His Highness said, Xing is doing his best to help Yingyang, but Nanton City is strong, it is not comparable to Ye County, and the minister is afraid of ......"

"Brother Wentai is afraid that you have thousands of soldiers and horses in your headquarters, but you can't capture Nanton?" Liu Wei saw that Sun Jian was scheming, so he asked bluntly.

Sun Jian nodded and sighed to himself.

Liu Wei couldn't help but laugh, and continued to ask: "How can Brother Wentai be so confident in front of the Chinese military tent?" There are even more Chun Yu Du Lieutenants invited 500 soldiers to break the city, and I also said that Nanton has already fallen into the palm of his hand, and there are only 300 tiger soldiers who can take Nanton's words, are you two bragging? ”

Sun Jian didn't know what he meant by bragging, but he was silent, but he knew the general meaning of what Liu Wei said, and finally replied with a sigh: "If Jian leads a thousand people from his headquarters to attack the city, he will definitely be sure to capture Nanton, but with His Royal Highness by his side, it will be different." ”

When Liu Wei heard this, he pondered for a moment, then came to his senses and smiled: "So, I have become a burden to the Wentai brothers?" ”

Sun Jian hurriedly shook his head and explained: "The minister definitely didn't mean this, but the attack on Nanton can't be compared with the safety of His Highness, so if His Highness is by the minister's side, the minister has to divide his troops to protect His Highness, and when attacking the city, he can't take the lead, so he is not sure." ”

"Although Brother Wentai didn't mean this, he probably still meant it." Liu Wei didn't mind, and said to himself: "It's just that I have a question, and I still need an answer from Brother Wentai." ”

"Your Highness, please."

"Brother Wentai has been an official for many years, and he has fought countless rebellions, is it true that every time he goes into battle to kill, he is such a pioneer and not afraid of death?" This question has been hidden in Liu Bian's heart for a long time, in Liu Bian's understanding, no matter what the achievements of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms who survived in later generations are how many achievements they have, but the common point is that they have lived to their most glorious time, but marching and fighting is the most dangerous thing in the world, so do these bigwigs really have their own protagonist halo and natural luck, or are they just romance rendering and over-portrayal? Since there is a person who is not afraid of death in war, it is the case that Liu Wei just asked.

When Sun Jian heard this, he was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly replied: "Don't dare to deceive Your Highness, Sun Jianzhen didn't think about it." ”

"Did you ever think about dying? Still haven't thought about why you have to work so hard? Liu Wei continued to ask.

"Neither." Sun Jian shook his head again and again, looked at Liu Wei again and said: "It's really because the soldiers in the army are no different from Sun Jian, if the ministers can't take the lead, how can they make the soldiers use their lives and be fearless in life and death?" ”

Liu Wei nodded again and again, and said to himself: "In this way, you and Zhu Jun are really similar, no wonder there are so many talents in the world, but he takes special care of you."

Sun Jian naturally didn't know that Liu Wei was talking to himself, frowned slightly, and said: "If it weren't for the desperate fight, no matter how Duke Zhu took care of it, such a lowly head as Jian would never be able to stand in front of His Highness and bother these now."

When Liu Wei heard this, he was stunned, but he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Sun Jian knew that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly bowed again: "The minister has lost his words."

Liu Wei sighed, waved his hand and said: "Brother Wentai is working so hard, and whether it is for my great country or for his own brilliant future, I can't lose your mind because of my own thoughts."

Sun Jian's heart moved slightly, but because of his previous gaffe, he just stood quietly with his hands down, not daring to say more.

"That's fine." Liu Wei laughed dryly, patted the brocade robe, raised his head and said: "As Brother Wentai said, Nanton is not as good as Ye County, I heard that my brother attacked Ye County and lost 200 soldiers, and now it is not easy to go down to Nanton."

Liu Wei ignored Sun Jianwu's self-hanging head and sighed, and still said to himself: "So after the military discussion was dispersed, I asked Zhu Gong for someone in the Chinese military tent, and now I will temporarily hand it over to you to command, or I can help you succeed."

Sun Jian raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he asked in surprise, "Who?"

"This person is a person from Youbeiping, his name is Cheng Pu, and his name is Demou." Speaking of this, Liu Wei paused deliberately, looked up at Sun Jian's expression, and saw that his surprise was as before, so he continued: "This person was still a military marquis before, but the day before yesterday under Yingyang City, he led hundreds of people to break through and save the military Sima Zhang Chao, and then personally gathered nearly 1,000 defeated soldiers after the break, so in this battle, only one of them was promoted to the military position, and now he is also a military Sima." Help with you, but also with you. ”

Unexpectedly, Sun Jian shook his head after hearing this, and said: "Such a tiger general should guard His Highness's side, His Highness is kind, Sun Jian understands it!"

After that, bow down again.

Liu Wei didn't persuade anymore, nodded and said, "If that's the case, let it be up to Brother Wentai." ”

Sun Jian didn't say anything more, bowed again, and then turned to leave.

Seeing that the person had left less than ten steps, Liu Wei shouted loudly: "Brother Wentai stays." ”

When Sun Jian heard this, he immediately turned his head.

"I heard that you have a son named Sun Ce? Seems to be my age. Liu Bianchang breathed a sigh of relief and finally asked.

Sun Jian stood stunned for a moment, and then nodded and replied, "Your Highness actually knows about dogs?" ”

Liu Wei didn't say anything else, he breathed a sigh of relief again, and asked: "I heard Zhu Gong praise that although Sun Ce is young, he is also a young hero, and he is known as the little overlord. ”

"Little Overlord?" Sun Jian naturally didn't know why, but when he heard Liu Wei mention his child, it was with a sense of praise, and Ying Ying couldn't help but smile: "This is the first time I have heard of such a title, and he will definitely tell His Highness today's words to Ace, and his people will be proud and happy." ”

Liu Wei bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Tiger father and tiger son, naturally deserve this title, but ......"

Sun Jian saw that Liu Bianxin had a plan but didn't say it for a long time, since he mentioned his own child, he thought that he was inseparable from others, so he had to take the initiative to ask: "What does Your Highness want to say?" But what does it have to do with the courtier's children? ”

Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief again, and said with a dry smile: "Brother Wentai, after the war, can you intentionally send Sun Ce to Luoyang to be my companion?" ”

When Sun Jian heard this, he was immediately stunned, at this moment, he was only a Sima in the army, and he was only a county in the imperial court, with such a background and family background, it was impossible for Sun Ce to get ahead, and he would naturally only think that it was good intentions for Liu Bian's proposal, but today, the olive branch thrown by the dignified prince to a low-level official like himself, Sun Jian really didn't dare to accept it.

Seeing that Sun Jian was silent, Liu Wei thought that he had a plan in his heart, so he was naturally a little disappointed, so he waved his hand and said, "Since Brother Wentai has no intention, then let's stop." ”

Then he turned and departed.

But he didn't wait for five steps, and suddenly heard Sun Jian shouting behind him: "When the war is settled, if Your Highness still has this year in your heart, you should firmly send Ace to Luoyang Palace and accompany Your Highness." ”

"Really?" Liu Wei was overjoyed in his heart, and turned around and exclaimed.

Sun Jian smiled and bowed slightly: "There must be no lies." ”
