Chapter 4 [Apprenticeship]
After about half an hour, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao entered the hall side by side, and saluted Sun Quan, Sun Quan waved his hand, signaled the three of them to be exempt, and said:
"Presumably, Gongjin and Zibu have learned from Zijing that Gu Zhao saw you and others coming, so what happened, and how do you say to deal with this?"
Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao are good at military affairs, the other is good at internal affairs, Sun Quan's brother Sun Ce, when he handed over Jiangdong to Sun Quan when he was dying, he once said that he asked Zhang Zhao if he was undecided about internal affairs, and asked Zhou Yu if he was undecided about foreign affairs, which shows the talents of the two, so Sun Quan's first thought was the two, and that time to kill Zhou Han was also a two-person plan, now Zhou Han is not dead, but after returning to Liu Jun, he is more trusted by Liu Bei and more united with Liu Jun, and Zhou Han must hate Dongwu, it is hopeless to recruit, and it is a failure to kill, I believe that Zhou Han has a chance, and he will definitely bite Dongwu back, In order to repay this hatred, in addition, after Liu Bei knew the truth, would he take revenge for Zhou Han and raise a large army to come, so that Sun Quan really had a feeling that he could not succeed in his plot and suffered from it.
In fact, Sun Quan originally wanted to listen to his mother's words, recruit Zhou Han as his brother-in-law, and then slowly said that he would use it for his own use, but later Zhou Yu found Sun Quan and said that he was a good man, saying that Cao Ying's army was strong, and the million-strong army had the hope of dominating the world, and Liu Beibing was dissatisfied with the thousands of embarrassments and fled, at that time, Zhou Han did not surrender to Cao Ying, in order to enjoy the glory and wealth, not to mention that Liu Bei already owned Jingzhou, let alone surrender himself, and Zhou Han's wisdom or martial arts were enough to make Sun Quan jealous, so under Zhou Yu's offering, he agreed to Zhou Yu's plan, Let Zhang Zhao assist Zhou Yu to act, more sweet, Tuesday will be for Zhou Yu to drive, in order to be perfect, and now that Zhou Han is not dead, he has to make Sun Quan frown, and ask the three of them how to deal with this matter, it is not that Sun Quan is outnumbered and has no plan, as the lord of a hero, he has a strong decision, and the way of the emperor, he asked so much because one person is wise, everyone is wise, and the so-called collective wisdom can solve the problem without the slightest omission.
Zhang Zhaonian is more than fifty years old, there are some traces of time on his head, white hair is mottled, but the body is quite straight, the body is also tough, it seems to live for another few decades, it is not a problem, hearing Sun Quan asked, although he is good at internal affairs, not good at military wisdom, but this matter can also be seen through, Sun Quan asked, how can he be an ordinary person, he heard it at once, and said:
"The lord doesn't need to worry too much, I don't think Liu Bei will be so unwise, and at this time he will turn against our army, if he really dares to do so, the lord can agree with Cao Ying to attack Liu Bei and divide Jingzhou equally, so Liu Bei is not worried."
Sun Quan's eyes flashed, looked at Zhou Yu, and said:
"What does Gong Jin think?"
Because Sun Quan left Zhou Yu in Wu County, Zhou Yu did not return to Poyang Lake to train the navy. Hearing Sun Quan ask himself, Zhou Yu muttered and said:
"What Mr. Zibu said is reasonable, in Yu's opinion, Liu Bei will not dare to attack, but Cao Ying will not be indifferent when he gets this news, we can move."
Lu Su finally said:
"Gong Jin's words are yes, we can wait and see the changes, the camera acts, if the lord is not at ease, Su can cross the river, and ask Liu Bei for Jingzhou, in order to see his intentions."
Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and after thinking about it, he said:
"Okay, Zijing can bring some cattle and sheep to treat him, and go in the name of reward, Liu Bei will not refuse to go out, ask him for Jingzhou, and see its reality!"
"No." Lu Su was ordered to go down and prepare.
At this time, Zhou Yu said:
"Lord, Yu can go back to Chaisang Poyang Lake to train troops in case of Liu Bei."
Sun Quan Zhunzhi, and then Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao also left in turn.
After everyone left, Sun Quan sighed for a while, and said to himself with remorse:
"If I knew this, I should have listened to my mother's words in the first place, and maybe I would have succeeded."
After speaking, Sun Quan stood up and went to the back hall to rest, but he was not in the mood to deal with government affairs anymore.
※※※
Two flowers bloom, each with a branch, before the news of Zhou Han's return reached Wu County, Zhou Han was in the study, sitting on the futon behind the only desk in the study, this era is not the same as modern, sitting with the buttocks, but kneeling, if not, and sitting in a modern form, it seems very indecent to people in this era, Zhou Han has been in this era for nearly a year, and he is used to kneeling and sitting, but he will not have the same pain in his knees as at the beginning, his legs are numb, and Deng Ai is standing below. Naturally, he couldn't leave an indecent impression on him, so Zhou Han's kneeling was extremely proficient.
Zhou Han looked at Deng Ai and said:
"Deng Ai, you don't have a word yet, do you?"
Deng Aiyin said that Zhou Han arranged for him to live in the house, and asked him to speak with a round stone in his mouth, so as to get rid of the problem of stammering, so now Deng Ai's words are extremely smooth, no different from ordinary people, and Zhou Han said that he arranged these in a hurry, and he has not communicated too much with Deng Ai, so he doesn't know if he has words.
Hearing this, Deng Ai's eyes and Zhou Han looked at each other slightly, and he immediately lowered his head and said:
"Ai is thirteen this year, and he hasn't picked up the word yet."
After all, Deng Ai is still young at this time, and he is not the general Deng Ai in history who is with Jiang Wei, who is on the tip of the needle and does not fall behind, whether it is his surname or experience, he cannot be compared with Zhou Han, and he does not dare to look at Zhou Han for too long, so as not to be regarded as disrespectful, and bow his head and answer honestly.
Zhou Han smiled and said:
"Elle doesn't have to be formal, she can sit down and talk."
Zhou Han called Deng Ai with this, making him feel that he did not treat him as an outsider, and sure enough, when he heard Zhou Han call him so, Deng Ai looked relieved, thanked him, and sat aside.
Zhou Han also knows a little about this famous general in history, Deng Ai was originally a native of Yiyang Jianyang (now Xinye, Henan) Later, when Cao Ying occupied Jingzhou, he forcibly relocated the people to Runan, Deng Ai and his mother were also forcibly relocated, Deng Ai saw the two sentences in Chen Yu's inscription when he was twelve years old: "Wen is the world's fan, and the behavior is the rule of the scholar", and he was pleased to admire, so he named himself Deng Fan, and later, there were people in the clan with the same name as him, so he changed his name. Yu Tuntian people to help management, because of his talent and learning was recommended by everyone as a captain of the agricultural school, so I have seen Sima Yi, Sima Yi because of his appreciation of his talent and learning, entrusted with reuse, so Deng Aicai squeezed into the career, but why would he mix with his mother among the homeless people, let Zhou Han who escorted the materials meet?
This question breeds, and Zhou Han asked:
"Ai'er, then I was escorting supplies, and I saw you walking with your mother and the homeless, why did you end up here?"
Zhou Han's concern is undoubtedly revealed, but is it really all? Only Zhou Han himself knows.
Deng Ai replied:
"Alas, speaking of which, family ugliness should not be publicized, but when the general asked, Ai was not good at answering."
Immediately Deng Ai said the reason, it turned out that the Deng family was the first family of Jingzhou, Cao Ying forcibly moved the people of Jingzhou to Runan, and the Deng family was also forcibly moved over, because Deng Ai lost his father since he was a child, and his mother depended on each other, but after the Deng family arrived in Runan, everything was difficult, and life gradually could not be opened, and those people in the family naturally looked down on Deng Ai's mother and son who were eating idle meals, and they were indispensable to cold words.
After listening to Deng Ai's statement, Zhou Han suddenly said:
"I see."
Then he said:
"Elle, since you haven't picked up the word yet, why don't I pick it up for you?"
Deng Ai was overjoyed:
"So General Law."
Zhou Han naturally didn't have a bad taste in taking words, and said seriously:
"How Shizai is, it is called Shizai."
"Shizai, Shizai" Deng Ai chanted twice, and said happily:
"General Xie gave the word, and Ai liked it very much."
Zhou Han nodded with a smile and said:
"Shizai, would you like to apprentice?"
Deng Ai bowed to Zhou Han and said:
"Ai is willing to worship the general as a teacher."
Zhou Han smiled:
"But it's not me, I mean, are you willing to worship Zhuge Junshi as a teacher?"
In history, Deng Ai invaded Shuzhong, saw the inscription of Zhuge Liangti, and lamented that he could not serve Zhuge Liang as a teacher, which was a regret in this life.
Hearing this, Deng Ai said happily: "If you can worship the military teacher as a teacher, Ai has no regrets." ”
Zhou Han is not a person who likes to drag mud and water, and when he heard Deng Ai answer like this, he stood up with a smile and said:
"Then what are you waiting for, go, I'll take you to apprenticeship."
Deng Ai was so happy that he followed Zhou Han out of the study. Zhou Han walked out of the study, and suddenly realized that his clothes were too cold and not attached to his identity, so he changed into an expensive scribe's shirt and took Deng Ai out.
Soon after arriving at the county government, after entering, Zhou Han greeted Liu Bei, and then went to find Zhuge Liang, in the study, Zhou Han took Deng Ai in, Zhuge Liang was dealing with some government affairs, saw Zhou Han come in, and said:
"Ziqi, why did you go and come back and not rest in the house?"
Saying that, Zhuge Liang's eyes also flashed slightly, and he looked at Deng Ai behind Zhou Han.
Zhou Han was already familiar with everyone under Liu Bei's command, and he was not talking about business in the hall, so naturally he didn't have to be so restrained and called a military advisor, but returned to his previous bohemian and cynical appearance, and said with a smile:
"Brother Liang, Han brought you an apprentice over."
Zhuge Liang smiled on his face, pointed at Zhou Han twice with the feather fan in his hand, and said with a smile:
"Ziqi, Ziqi, you are still the same, cynical, and always like to make fun of Liang and others"
Zhou Han smiled, and Zhuge Liang looked at Deng Ai and said:
"Ziqi said to bring an apprentice to Liang, but this son?"
Deng Ai's eyes flashed, and he was very clever enough to salute Zhuge Liang with a fist, and said:
"Deng Ai meets the military advisor."
Zhuge Liang smiled:
"The person who can be brought by Ziqi himself is extraordinary, I will accept your apprentice."
Deng Ai was overjoyed and bowed:
"Ai Bai to see the military master."
Zhuge Liang smiled and asked Deng Ai not to be polite. Zhou Han really didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would accept this apprentice so easily, if he brought him a crooked melon and cracked jujube, would he also accept it, and he didn't even test it, if Zhuge Liang didn't really believe in his own vision, then he was not as later generations said, without the slightest knowledge of people.
Seeing Deng Ai Xie Zhuge Liang get up, Zhou Han smiled and said:
"Brother Liang, when will my Ai'er perform that apprenticeship?"
Zhou Han opened his mouth to be my Ai'er, as if Deng Ai was his nephew, Zhuge Liang was also used to Zhou Han's cynical tone, and said with a smile:
"Look at it."
"It's better to do it now."
"......" Zhuge Liang had no choice but to nod in agreement speechlessly.
If you want to hold a large-scale apprenticeship ceremony, you must arrange the apprentice's room and invite everyone to watch the ceremony, but obviously Zhou Han and Zhuge Liang don't want to alarm Liu Bei and others because of this, so this apprenticeship ceremony is going to be done simply, and Deng Ai is not dissatisfied with this.
Zhuge Liang asked his subordinates to bring a cup of tea up, Deng Ai took the tea, held the tea and bowed to Zhuge Liang and said:
"Meet the Master"
Zhuge Liang smiled, took the tea in Deng Ai's hand, took a sip of tea, and said:
"Good apprentice, please get up quickly."
Deng Ai thanked him, the whole process, the only person who watched the ceremony was Zhou Han, seeing that the goal had been achieved, Zhou Han did not plan to stay longer, and told Deng Ai two words, let him learn from Zhuge Liang, Deng Ai was full of promises, Zhou Han also believed that with Deng Ai's talent, Zhuge Liang would be satisfied with this apprentice, this is a potential stock, and it will definitely be the pillar of Shu Han in the future! Then Zhou Han said goodbye to Zhuge Liang, left the county government, and wanted to go back to his mansion to take a good rest, and planned to go to the military camp tomorrow to see how elite Liu Jun was at this time.
