Chapter 12: Joining the Army
"Very good and ambitious. Worthy of my son! ”
Yuan Shu looked at the arrogant imp in front of him with satisfaction, as if he saw the figure of the invincible governor of Zhou who would dominate the world in the future.
Xun Yu behind him looked at Zhou Yu with shiny eyes, and secretly transmitted a message to Yuan Shu: "Lord, although Zhou Gongjin is still young, he has been smart since he was a child, and the Huangfu generals have accepted him as an apprentice, and he will definitely be a peerless commander in the future." The lord must reuse and cultivate this son. Don't let him go! ”
Hearing this, Yuan Shu secretly said in his heart: Do you still need to say this? Mei Zhoulang, who has been famous for thousands of years, wouldn't he have a problem with his brain if he let him go?
Zhou Yu in history was a natural commander, and compared with fierce generals, this kind of commander-type talent is what Yuan Shu wants most.
With Zhou Yu's talent, it is too wasteful to waste it on the narrow Jiangdong and Yangtze River.
The boundless sea, as well as other empires, should be the stage for its performances.
Although the sky of the Three Kingdoms era is shining with stars, it is a pity that countless famous ministers and generals are buried in this glorious and sad era.
Even if he can't dominate the whole country, Yuan Shu hopes to create a more brilliant path for this era.
In the two thousand years since the Han Dynasty, it seems that the Han people have lost their pioneering spirit.
Whether it is the Tang Dynasty, the Fu Song Dynasty or Yan Ming, although they are all strong enough, and even the national strength far exceeds that of the Han Dynasty, they have all lost their bloody nature and enterprising spirit.
Guoheng died with weakness, and Duhan died with strength.
Although this statement is a bit biased, it perfectly shows the strength and domineering of the Han Dynasty.
It is different from the defensive posture of later dynasties towards foreign enemies.
The Han Dynasty was nothing short of the surrounding countries.
Although due to many problems such as geography, transportation, and grain and grass transportation, the territory ruled by the Han Dynasty grew very little.
But for the slightly stronger countries around, the Han Dynasty cleaned it all up.
Even the Northern Huns, who once dominated the north, jumped a little, and in the face of strong men, they could only end up ruining the country.
Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!
This is no joke.
The obvious power system of this world is somewhat unscientific, but due to the problem of insight and vision, the territory of the entire Han Dynasty still stops here.
After all, in the eyes of the world, the north is a bitter cold land.
And the south is a wild land with mosquitoes and miasma.
The East is the boundless sea.
The West is another desert.
Only the Central Plains is the center of the world.
Even if there are many smart people in this world, due to the fixed traditional thinking and the limitation of vision. Their vision can only be limited to the seemingly vast territory of Dahan.
As everyone knows, the bitter cold land in the north can raise horses and herd sheep and create endless wealth. There is also a vast plain where the land can be used to extract oil.
The wild land in the south is actually a huge granary of crops that grow two or three times a year. Later, it had the reputation of "Suzhou and Hangzhou are familiar with the world".
The West, on the other hand, is incomparably vast, with countless resources, and has given birth to many powerful empires.
On the other side of the sea lies countless undiscovered continents.
As a traverser, Yuan Shu felt obligated to take his nation on a different, more glorious path.
Take them to see how big the world really is.
All this Yuan Shu is deeply buried in his heart.
Maybe one day Yuan Shu will dominate the world, or lose the opportunity to dominate the world, Yuan Shu will confide all this.
Looking at the civil and military forces around him and the three energetic teenagers in front of him, Yuan Shao was extremely confident in his heart.
One day, I will take you to see the whole world with your eyes.
When Yuan Shu's heart was surging, a certain hot-blooded second stunned man couldn't help but see Zhou Yu and become a captain.
Sun Ce saw that his brother had won the position of lieutenant so easily.
The most important thing is to be able to enter the army and participate in battles, and suddenly it is unbalanced.
"Father-in-law, I also want to enter the army like Gongjin and fight on the battlefield."
"Oh? Ce'er is really ambitious, but this still has to ask your father if he agrees. ”
Sun Ce suddenly turned his head to look at Sun Jian.
Sun Jian blew his beard and glared at Sun Ce: "What kind of army are you joining as a hairy boy?" Practice martial arts well, and talk about it when you grow up. ”
Sun Ce was suddenly unhappy: "Why can Gong Jin join the army, but I can't?" ”
Sun Jian glared angrily: "Do you think going to the battlefield is child's play? Gong Jin's command ability is very strong, and his martial arts are acceptable. It's still okay to be a lieutenant. You are a little ghost who can only fight and kill, and you can only be a small soldier, isn't this a shame for our Sun family! If you want to join the army, go back and read more military books, don't just know how to fight every day, and learn to use your brain. ”
Sun Ce's character is obviously impossible to be persuaded by Sun Jian's few words.
Although he didn't know how to refute for a while, he still stubbornly glared at Sun Jian.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Shu couldn't help it a little and stood up to make a round.
"Wentai, you're a little too harsh. Ce'er's martial arts are now close to third-rate generals, how can they be as unbearable as you say? ”
Then he looked at Sun Ce with a straight face: "Ce'er, don't blame your father." He's also doing it for your good. Your father is right, the battlefield is not a child's play, relying on brute force alone, unless you have the level of a first-class general, you can protect yourself, otherwise no one can guarantee your life and death. If you want to become a good general, force is essential, but you also need to be familiar with the art of war and learn to lead troops. Your martial arts are acceptable now, and your father-in-law will make decisions for your father here and allow you to join the army. ”
Hearing this, Sun Ce looked surprised.
And Sun Jian, on the surface, was a little unwilling, but in fact, he was secretly relieved in his heart.
"But..."
Speaking of which, Yuan Shu repeated his old tricks to arouse Sun Ce's appetite.
"Ce'er, your ability is not enough to command the army alone, so let's be a hundred generals under Gong Jin first!"
After speaking, he looked at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu with a smile.
Sun Ce suddenly had a bitter look on his face after hearing this.
And Zhou Yu walked up to Sun Ce with a gloating face: "Hehe, brother, being a hundred people for me will not be considered wronged by you." Don't worry, I'll give you an easy job, just keep me safe. ”
Zhou Yu's words were obviously teasing Sun Ce, who was bent on charging into battle.
After hearing this, Sun Ce instantly went violent, flew in front of Zhou Yu, grabbed his neck and kept shaking.
"You bastard! If you don't let me go into battle, I'll strangle you. ”
Zhou Yu was almost out of breath when he was shaken, and said intermittently: "You, bastard, dare to attack the chief, if you do this again, I will definitely let you go and take care of logistics." ”
After Sun Ce shook for a while, he watched Zhou Yu spread half-dead on the ground again, and took his hand with satisfaction.
returned to the same place as if nothing happened, and muttered quietly: "Make you stronger than me!" Let me be my sir! ”
Looking at the two cute little ghosts in front of him, Yuan Shu smiled unscrupulously in his heart.
"How? Can you accept it? ”
Sun Ce said with some reluctance: "Of course I accept it." But father-in-law, if I learn to command the army, can I also be a captain? ”
Seeing Sun Ce with an expectant face, Yuan Shu smiled and said, "Naturally." The military rules of the father-in-law are very simple, those who are capable and meritorious go up, and those who are incompetent go down. As long as you have the ability, it is not unavoidable for your father-in-law to make you a general. ”
Sun Ce said happily: "Really! Rest assured, father-in-law, in less than two years, I will catch up with Gongjin. ”
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who were full of excitement, didn't notice the unwillingness on the face of the young man who was biting his lip tightly in Yuan Shu's arms.
