Liang Xiao didn't ask about the reason for Huanjun's sudden change of hexagram.

Huan Jun's ears are outstanding, and what he and Liu Ling said under the grape trellis, Huan Jun naturally heard it clearly. If it is really as Liu Ling said, Huan Jun did not get the opportunity to fight on the battlefield, but suffered sixteen years in prison in vain, and now the opportunity is sent to the door, it is indeed difficult to refuse.

In history, Liu Ling is known as "having oral arguments", and he is honest and does not deceive. To be honest, if he hadn't known the general trend of history and knew that King Huainan's scholar couldn't do anything, he might not have been able to refuse this temptation, and he would have been fooled away by Liu Ling.

Just like a college student who suddenly receives a high-paying job offer from a Fortune 500 company, how many of them can be indifferent to fame and fortune and be indifferent?

"Ah Xiao, bring a crossbow, let's go hunting by the river."

"Okay." Liang Xiao answered, took 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 gone far and couldn't stop admiring. Originally, they didn't know much about Huan Jun, they just thought they were a down-and-out prisoner, and the nobleman came for Liang Xiao. Now that he learned that the nobleman's real target was him, he suddenly changed his opinion.

No wonder Liang Xiao is so backbone, it turns out that he has a backbone master. Sure enough, he is a famous teacher and a high apprentice, and he is worthy of being a good man of Wu Chu.

The master and apprentice went out of the city, came to the riverside, and along the riverbank, they unconsciously came to the ditch in the east of the city. Seeing King Wu's Temple from afar, Huan Jun's eyes became complicated. He limped to the temple of King Wu and stood quietly.

"Ah Xiao, my surname is Huan, my name is Yuan, the word Xuanbo, I used to be the general of Wu State, I once commanded 10,000 troops, and I am the youngest general under the command of King Wu. I was only twenty-three years old when I first conferred the seal. ”

Liang Xiao nodded. He had already guessed. However, when Huan Jun said it himself, the meaning was completely different. It's just that he didn't expect Huan Jun to become a general at such a young age, so he is now in his early forties at most, but he looks so old.

"When King Wu raised his army, I mentioned yì and said, Wu has more infantry, Li is in danger, Han has more chariots and horses, and Li is flat. If you want to seize the world, you should first base Luoyang, eat the millet of Aocang, and the danger of mountains and rivers, and then order the princes. ”

Liang Xiao was secretly surprised. This trick is poisonous enough, it is simply a sword to seal the throat. At that time, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had just ascended the throne, and his foundation was unstable, so he adopted the policy of cutting the feudal domain, and the princes and kings were detached from the court. Once Luoyang is controlled, the Han army is blocked west of Hangu, and the Shandong princes are allied, even if they cannot attack Guanzhong, they can take half of the world, at least not as they were later.

Huan Jun can have such insight, it can be seen that it is not the courage of a horseman, no wonder Liu Ling rushed to Guangling thousands of miles to invite him.

"Why didn't King Wu adopt his master's strategy?"

"The veteran under the command of King Wu said that I am too young and only suitable for charging into battle, and I don't know the big plan." Huan Jun smiled bitterly: "King Wu adopted their plan, but was blocked by Liang, and was cut off by Zhou Yafu, and was defeated in March. ”

"These veterans have mistaken people."

"No, it's because I'm too young." Huan Jun shook his head. "I ascended to the throne with a weak crown in a humble family, but I didn't know how to be clumsy, and it was inevitable that I would be looked at sideways. As the saying goes, if you don't be the leader, you will be blamed, and I am an example. ”

Liang Xiao frowned. Liu Ling said that Huan Jun was from Jiangmen, but Huan Jun said that he was from the Hanshu family, which is a bit wrong. However, in his impression, at the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, there were indeed no famous generals surnamed Huan, maybe Liu Ling knew that Huan Jun was listening, and deliberately said something nice.

"The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and awarded knights for military merits, but the children of the Han family rarely had high knights. There are two reasons: one is that the battlefield is dangerous, and if you are not talented, it will be difficult to survive a hundred battles. The second is that the army is controlled by the powerful, and the meritorious work of the children of the poor is difficult to reward, and the merits of bloody battles are often obtained by the powerful. ”

Liang Xiao laughed helplessly. He kind of guessed what Huan Jun meant. He wants to rely on no one and rely on his own ability to make meritorious contributions, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. He knew that what Huan Jun said was the truth, it was difficult for a child of a poor family to be an official, and it was even more difficult to be a marquis. The famous general Li Guang fought all his life, but he failed to be crowned, so that he left a thousand-year-old sigh of "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal". Even if he is talented in archery, can he compare with General Fei Li Guang?

How difficult it is to be a marquis and worship a general with his own ability. If you want to get out of the land, the best way is to rely on the powerful and enter the Huainan palace as a guest. Even if the King of Huainan fails to die well in the end, he can also use the Huainan Palace's mansion as a springboard to escape before the King of Huainan raises troops. Even if it is to rebel with the king of Huainan and then surrender to the imperial court, it is a good choice.

If you want to be an official, kill people and set fires to be recruited.

"It is difficult to ascend to the sky with military merits. Liu Ling is right, as soon as you enter the Huainan Palace, many things that you didn't dare to imagine will be at your fingertips. Not to mention anything else, you can at least have a war horse and learn to ride and shoot, and I can't give you any of these. ”

Liang Xiao smiled and asked rhetorically, "This is why the master let go?" ”

Huan Jun nodded. "When I enter the Huainan Palace, I can also worry about food and clothing, and I don't have to worry about my livelihood anymore."

"Then why didn't the master agree to Liu Ling on the spot?"

Huan Jun smiled, revealing a little cunning. "That's how to make a name. Huainan Wangfu is known as full of talents, Liu Ling sees himself as intelligent, if he can stump her, it will be of great benefit to you, and in the future, when he enters Huainan Palace, no one dares to despise you and my master and apprentice. Even if he doesn't enter the Huainan Palace, he can make Liu Ling have nothing to say, so that he won't turn his face. ”

Liang Xiao blinked. "Master, those veterans were really blind back then, and the defeat of King Wu was also providential."

"Alas-" Huan Jun sighed, melancholy.

……

Hu Jiaxi crossed the courtyard, where Liu Ling stayed, and a new swing was built.

Liu Ling is still dressed in men's clothes, but he is not as restrained as in the Liang family. She sat on the swing, her hands holding the very smooth leather rope, fluttering back and forth, her eyes as erratic as the swing.

"Am I not right?" Liu Ling tilted his head, his eyes puzzled, and he couldn't figure it out. "It can't be that this little vertical man doesn't dare to refuse openly, and deliberately uses this question to prevaricate me, right? Hmph, what real insights can there be in the next work. ”

Thinking of Liang Xiao's smiling face, Liu Ling was annoyed, and cursed a few times one after another, but a few red clouds flew up on his face unexpectedly.

"Lord Weng?" Lei was interrupted by Liu Ling's ramblings and stabilized the swing.

"The result?" Liu Ling hurriedly asked, hiding his panic.

Ray frowned and pointed to the leaky pot on the side, as if he had encountered the most incredible thing. "How so? No matter how high the swing is, the time for every ten swings seems to be almost the same. ”

"Really?" Liu Ling sighed, and his eyes lit up. "So, the little guy is right?"

"I don't know if he's right, at least it's different from our common sense."

"Hey!" Liu Ling clenched his fists vigorously. "I don't see that this cunning boy really has some unusual insight."

Lei was surprised and glanced at Liu Ling, his eyes showing a worried expression.

Liang family, Liang Xiao, who was practicing shooting, sneezed twice in succession, and his snot spurted out far away. He rubbed his nose and muttered, "Who is talking about me behind my back?" It's really a good thing that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and there are too many people who are worried about it. ”
