Chapter 102: Drums Don't Need a Heavy Hammer

As the youngest subordinate official in the Tiance Mansion, the fourteen-year-old Wang Xiang was completely different from the sheep herding slave who was whipped with a leather whip by his master in the manor half a year ago. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info He is now in charge of all the books in the palace, not only has the opportunity to listen to the lectures of the great Confucian Lu Zhi, but also often serves by the side of Lu Bu, the general of Tiance, and does some things for Lu Bu.

When Wang Xiang was rescued from Hedong by Jia Kui, he weighed only more than 50 catties, and he was skinny. Lu Bu was worried that Wang Xiang would die early because of malnutrition, so he specially asked the back kitchen in the house to put more minced meat and vegetables in the food for Wang Xiang, and when he added supper to Lu Zhi and Chen Gong at night, he would also count a portion for Jia Kui and Wang Xiang, who were growing up.

After half a year of recuperation, Wang Xiang's weight has grown to more than 90 catties, although he is still thin, but at least the weight of a normal person. If nutrition can keep up, Wang Xiang's height should be able to grow a little longer.

Wang Xiang, who has been a slave and has been hungry, can best experience the happiness of having food to eat and books to read every day. His life was saved by Jia Kui, and his slave status was announced by Lu Bu himself, and he even has an official position and a fortune now, which was also given by Lu Bu. Therefore, the two people he is most grateful to in this life are naturally Jia Kui and Lu Bu.

Jia Kui has a life-saving grace for Wang Xiang, while Lu Bu is equivalent to reinvention for Wang Xiang, and the two kindnesses are equally thick and precious, and it is difficult to distinguish between high and low.

Because Wang Xiang was in charge of the books in the house, and often listened to Lu Zhi's lectures with Liu Bian, Tang Ji asked Wang Xiang to send the books needed by Liu Bian to the courtyard where Liu Bian lived several times in the name of borrowing books. After Wang Xiang arrived, Tang Ji used some reasons and excuses to keep Wang Xiang in the courtyard for a while.

At first, Wang Xiang was not disgusted by this, because he felt that personally sending the book to Liu Wei to read showed that he respected King Hongnong enough, and at the same time reflected the value of his own management of books. For this reason, every time he sent a book over, he had to carefully select the bamboo slips and books that he thought were the most suitable for Liu Bian to read.

One day, Jia Kui came to Wang Xiang and saw that he was about to leave with a book, so he asked a few more questions. Wang Xiang had nothing to hide from Jia Kui, he told Jia Kui the details of how he sent the book to Liu Bian and Tang Ji's residence several times, and when Jia Kui heard that Tang Ji had hinted at the relationship between Liu Bian and Liu Xie to Wang Xiang, he frowned.

Jia Kui asked Wang Xiang: "If one day, you need to choose a person between the Son of Heaven and the Admiral Tiance to be allegiance, how will you choose?" ”

Wang Xiang replied without hesitation: "Of course it is loyal to Admiral Tiance!" I am a protΓ©gΓ© of Admiral Tiance, and my life is his. ”

Jia Kui was more satisfied with Wang Xiang's attitude, and he reminded Wang Xiang: "Tang Ji took the opportunity to approach you, his mind is not so simple, you have to take the initiative to report this situation to Admiral Tiance, which is beneficial to you and King Hongnong and his wife." ”

Although Wang Xiang is two years younger than Jia Kui, after half a year of study and training in Tiance Mansion, he is not at all unenlightened about people's hearts and power, and he knows that Jia Kui's reminder is not superfluous.

Wang Xiang took advantage of the fact that there was no one else around Lu Bu, and reported to Lu Bu in detail about Tang Ji asking him to borrow books for Liu Bi, and after listening to it, Lu Bu frowned and thought about it, and then told Wang Xiang: "You are still young, and you have not seen the various methods used inside and outside the court to fight for power, so you have never been vigilant. You can often see me in the house, which is both an opportunity and a danger for you. In the future, you should be very careful and cautious, no matter what others say to you or even what they do, you should not easily jump to conclusions, let alone make your own opinions. I will personally handle Tang Ji's affairs, so you can study and do things with peace of mind, and at the same time, you must exercise your body stronger. ”

Wang Xiang saw that Lu Bu was not angry, and gave a special advice, so he firmly remembered what Lu Bu said in his heart, and reminded himself when he encountered anything in the future.

After Wang Xiang left, Lu Bu sent someone to call Jia Kui and wanted to ask Jia Kui if he had encountered something similar.

After Jia Kui came in, Lu Bu asked him, "Just told me something about Tang Ji from Wang Xiang, do you know?" ”

Jia Kui nodded and replied, "He told me everything." I felt that Tang Ji's mind was not pure, so I specially reminded him. ”

Lu Bu taught Jia Kui: "You have done a good job in this matter. Although Wang Xiang's life experience is tragic, his life experience is relatively simple, and he has no experience in how to get along with people. He has no relatives now, you are equal to his brother, and you will have to take on more responsibilities in the future! ”

Jia Kui said without hesitation: "Don't worry, my lord, I will always remind and care about him!" ”

Lu Bu thought for a while, and then said: "A few days ago, when I led the army to go out to fight, you did a good job, not only conscientiously carried out the orders of Lu Changshi and General Gao, but also took the initiative to take on the task of acting as a bait. I have great expectations for you, so you not only have to learn how to strategize and manage internal affairs from Lu Changshi, Chen Fuchu, and Wei Zhi, but also learn how to organize and dispatch the army and how to command the war from the commanders of several battalions! ”

LΓΌ Bu's praise made Jia Kui a little embarrassed, and he looked at LΓΌ Bu and said: "Lord Duke, your vision of selecting and employing people is definitely the first class in the world, and the Chinese martial arts of the government are rare talents, worthy of lifelong learning and emulation by me and Wang Xiang." It's just that I think you've just missed someone! ”

"Who is missing?" Lu Bu asked a little puzzled.

"Missing yourself, lord! Not only me, but everyone thinks that you are the real all-rounder, and no one to learn from is as much as you can learn. ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately laughed. "You kid, when did you learn to be flattering? Be careful when these words reach the ears of Lu Changshi and General Gao, and they will change their ways to clean you up in the future! ”

Jia Kui said with a serious face: "Being cleaned up by them is also a rare opportunity and exercise." ”

"You can think so, that's right! I will give you a task now, you and Wang Xiang will take turns to teach in Xu Gongming's camp, and teach him the content of military arithmetic that you have learned and comprehended in the shortest possible time. After Zhang Wenyuan and Wei Qi come back, I will hold another class to explain more advanced knowledge to you! ”

"My lord, my subordinates have a suggestion, if you start the class again, can you pass on what we have learned before to General Yamen and General Pi? Privately, they have been looking forward to learning military calculations, and I think this is something that should be encouraged and expanded. ”

Lu Bu did not agree to Jia Kui's suggestion, nor did he deny it, he told Jia Kui: "I have already considered and arranged this matter, and I need to formulate a set of detailed and feasible rules and regulations to form a set of standardized teaching and learning forms, and I will make a decision after discussing it with the two military advisors." ”

This was the end of the conversation between the two, and Jia Kui left.

Since Jia Kui came in, Lu Bu didn't ask Jia Kui about whether Tang Ji had ever looked for him, because he only needed two sentences to know the desired result. Tang Ji can play a little trick on the simple Wang Xiang, but she can't confuse Jia Kui at all.

As for Lu Zhi, who was close to the age of sixties, Lu Bu felt that when he looked at some of Tang Ji's small actions, he might be a grandfather's mentality of treating his naughty granddaughter as a troublemaker.

You can play some tricks, I can also pretend not to see through it, but there is a limit to messing around and making trouble, you can't kick your nose in the face, there are no rules!
