Chapter 578: The Biography of Sun Jian (14)
β187 A.D.ββ
Hongnong County, Yang's Manor.
Sun Jian has been an official for many years, but it is impossible to say that no scribe has ever been willing to serve.
It can only be said that there has never been a scribe who has been "super-universal".
At this time, Sun Jian had already discovered that his father Sun Zhong had pinned the hope of the glorious lintel on himself from the beginning.
Although the Sun family claims to be the descendants of Sun Bin, it is difficult for contemporary people to admit it because it is too old, so even if the Sun family is now under the vigorous development of his father, he has a lot of wealth, extensive connections, and many tribes, and has the potential of the first clan in Jiangdong, but he will still be contemptuously called "the melon planter" behind his back.
At this time, it was not only Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, but even the four generals who had been following him, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, Huang Gai and ...... Han Dang, it was all because of his father's kindness to them or their fathers that he was willing to help each other.
He had to make a career to make others call his father "the father of Sun Jian", instead of introducing him by saying that he was "the son of Sun Zhong of Jiangdong", and only then could a literati who thought highly of himself come to join him.
Before that, Sun Jian could only imitate his actions while accepting his father's gifts, and recruited his subordinates by getting closer to each other and showing kindness.
He is young and intelligent, and he can use that kind of wonderful "spell", and he even proposed to come to Luoyang to "see the world" together, which is equivalent to wanting to work, but Sun Nut who knew the danger of this trip rejected him - this move was praised by Cheng Pu for some reason "The young master is wise".
Speaking of Cheng Pu, he is currently the only person under Sun Jian's command who can be called "wise and brave", who can lead the army to fight and give advice, except for always persuading Sun Jian to be self-reliant, there are almost no shortcomings.
However, even Cheng Pu is a little powerless to deal with the military affairs and the planning of some difficult things, so if the person who comes to serve cannot surpass Cheng Pu, he can only be an accountant.
"If this Yang Xiaolangjun is willing to assist the young master, it would be the best," after Yang Xiu left, Cheng Pu said: "After Han Yigong's information is finished, I am still thinking about what is going on in Luoyang's chaos, he has already come to a conclusion and came in with a laugh. β
"It's a pity that he is the son of a Taiwei, and he probably doesn't look down on the small county order," Sun Jian laughed at himself: "He probably just wants to go to Luoyang to see the excitement, and by the way to verify his guess, of course, it may also be that he wants to take the opportunity to use his talents to do something, we are just a 'stepping stone' to achieve his goal." β
"It's also possible that he was trying to take on what he called the 'rumor-mongers.'" Cheng Pu said: "General Zhu Jun, to whom we belong for the time being, the unknown person who wants to muddy the waters, as well as the different factions of eunuchs, relatives and ministers, at this time Luoyang has different positions...... Hehe. β
"Lord, the enemy, I will kill them." Zhou Tai said word by word.
"Well, indeed," at this time, Cheng Pu began to perform his duties as a "strategist": "In Luoyang, where you can't kill anyone casually, Youping's trick to fix people is very useful, then, this operation will be up to you to guard Wentai's side at any time." β
"My ......" Zhou Tai was stunned for a moment, although he wanted to explain that he could choose the next move to take his life after fixing the person, but there was no way to say it in the most concise words possible: "...... Commanded. β
"I will pretend to be a grumpy master, a rich man who always whips the coachman with a horsewhip." β
"No, I'm the 'driver'." Huang Gai laughed.
"There are not many trees in Luoyang, Zu Mao, you don't have to enter the city, only prepare carriages and horses in the southeast forest, in case of failure, you must pick up the young master in time to escape from Sili and go to Jiangdong." Nodding, Cheng Pu said to Zu Mao again.
"Wait? Why not Xuzhou Xiapi? Sun Jian asked in surprise.
"Huh...... The young master shouldn't think that the 'Qingjun side' is the kind of ordinary move that is both successful and gratifying, and defeat is worry-free? Cheng Pu shook his head and said: "If the young master is worried about Xiapi's family and Zhou Xiancheng, they have probably already set off for Jiangdong, just at the same time as receiving the young master's move." β
"Oh, uh-huh......" Sun Jian replied hesitantly.
"Now that it's arranged, thenβ"
"What about me?"
ββ¦β¦β
With Han Dang's voice, as if the sun was illuminating a dark corner, his tall figure appeared in the room, in fact, he had not changed his position since Yang Xiu came in.
"As usual, Yigong will support all parties by taking advantage of the characteristics of not being noticed, but don't act rashly alone, I can be sure that your move will not be able to hide from the eyes of the 'Sword Master'." Cheng Pu replied quickly.
The crowd nodded their heads as if they had never ignored him.

Xiapi, county government.
"Let Jun Gong see it and smile," Zhou Yi, the county officer, greeted Zhuge Jue while sorting out the documents and filings: "I have always liked to do things from beginning to end, if Wentai is successful, if it is unfortunate that things fail, these documents and records of the past years can also be left to the next county commander." β
"There are no rules, there is no circle," Zhuge Jue praised: "This is not conformism, but thoughtfulness." β
"Jun Gong praises." Zhou Yi smiled and continued to sort out the paperwork.
"However, has Uncle Zhou ever thought that if General Sun becomes a military general, he will definitely soar, and these documents still have to be left to the next county commander." Zhuge Jin, who was standing behind his father, interjected.
"......" Zhou Yi froze for a moment, his subordinates didn't stop, but they slowed down a little: "Doesn't this prove that this matter is indeed done?" β
"Go, take care of Qiao Lao with Bo Fu Gongjin." Zhuge Jue waved his son away.
Zhuge Jin pouted and walked out of the council hall, and there were compliments between the two of them in his ears.
"Ziyu is smart and has an unlimited future."
"Where, Bo Fu and Gong Jin are young heroes."

Since meeting General Sun at the border of Taishan County, his father handed over the official affairs of Taishan County, dragged his family to Xiapi in the name of returning to his hometown and province, and had a very happy conversation with the prime minister of Zhou County.
However, Zhuge Jin doesn't like the son of Zhou County Cheng very much, his own name is Jin Ziyu, and the son of Zhou County Cheng is named Yu Zi Jin, according to the Han system, the "duke" is five ranks higher than the "son" jue.
However, his advantage is that he is older and has to be a prince earlier than him, and in the case of similar wisdom, it is impossible for him to be a viscount and the other party is already a duke...... bar.
"Mo Fu! The old man can walk by himself! When he was about to arrive at the back garden of the county government, Zhuge Jin heard the old man of the bridge shouting angrily.
How did a former lieutenant who lived in seclusion near Luoyang come to Xuzhou with his family? Zhuge Jin was puzzled.
However, my father once said that if something can't be explained by common sense, it is right to push it on the heads of "Wushuang" and "Immortals", and if it is closer to Luoyang, it can also be pushed to the heads of "Sword Saints".
"Old Bridge." Zhuge Jin followed the sound and saw the old man who was waving his cane and trying to drive the two teenagers away.
Because he was wearing a wide robe and his sleeves were also large, Zhuge Jin couldn't see the weakness of his hands and feet, but it could be seen from the posture of the two crutches under his armpits that there was obviously one side that could not be used.
"The old man said he could go! What another one! When the old man saw Zhuge Jin, he seemed to become even more angry, and raised his hand to throw the cane over, the young man with a stronger figure named Sun Ce hurriedly went to stop him, and Zhou Yu, who Zhuge Jin was still thinking about just now, hurried to pull him away in three steps and two steps, leaving the sight of Sun Ce and Qiao Lao.
"It's good that you're here," the handsome Zhou Yu kept saying to Zhuge Jin at his feet: "Our brother was originally building a wheelchair for Qiao Lao, but he suddenly got angry for some reason, and he had to go out for two steps, so he could only make him a pair of crutches temporarily. β
"Wait?" Zhuge Jin had thought for a long time about how the two should talk when they met alone without being led by their elders, but the other party seemed to be completely out of sight?
The saddest thing is that his strength is completely incomparable to him, and there is no room to break free when he is dragged away.
"Whew...... Call...... You ......" It wasn't until he was dragged into a room about the use of a carpenter in the house, full of tools and workbenches, that Zhuge Jin finally had a chance to speak.
"Okay, don't say something useless," Zhou Yu let go of his hand and grunted out a Taishi chair with wooden wheels from the corner of the room, "Come over and take a handβdon't look reluctant, you've already decided to serve Uncle Sun, just do things in advance." β
"......" Zhuge Jin's expected words were all blocked, and he glared at Zhou Yu viciously for a moment before he stepped forward to help, and said in his mouth: "...... Count you ruthless. β
The problem with this "wheelchair" is that it is not large enough to fit on four wheels like a horse-drawn carriage, and the overall structure has been installed, and what is needed now is to adjust the balance so that the person sitting on it does not tip over no matter how much they lean back.
Zhuge Jin originally had some complaints, but after getting started, he was fascinated by its structure, and he kept being amazed in the process of adjustment.
Zhou Yu explained: "It applies some of the Mohist techniques, but our research is not thorough enough, and it must be pushed by other people or passengers themselves, and perhaps in the future, we will develop a wheelchair that can walk on its ownββ"
In the middle of the conversation, the laughter of a little girl came from the inner courtyard across the wall.
"Heehehe~Sister, look, this little Trojan will go by itself~"
"Don't touch them, if you make them cry, your mother will scold you."
They seem to be ...... Qiao Lao's two granddaughters? Zhuge Jin looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Speaking of which, due to the need to move the family to Jiangdong, in addition to Qiao Lao's daughter-in-law A Zhu, General Sun's wife Wu, Zhou Xiancheng's wife Ji, and his and Xiaoliang's mother He all moved here, and female dependents and boys under the age of five also temporarily lived in the backyard.
"Hey~They won't cry~" The girl's voice before sounded again: "Tell my sister, what's your name?" β
ββ¦β¦ Zhuge Liang. A little boy's voice replied without any spirit.
"Uh-huh~ What about you?"
"I'm Sun Quan~" The other boy's voice seemed to sound a little naughty: "Sister-in-law of the Zhou family~"
"Wow!" The girl called out a strange tone word, and then there was a snapping sound, and she probably turned and ran away.
"Hmm......" Zhuge Jin turned around and was about to say something to Zhou Yu, but saw that the handsome young man's face was blue and white and red.
Haha, I see.
