Chapter 45: Solicitation
"Zhou Yuanjun, this is the original. Ning Ze saw Zhou Yi take the bamboo slip, and said with a smile, "The things that I carry with me during the day are a pastime for the lower officials when they are bored, who would have expected that it would be wrong! ”
"It's okay!" Zhou Xuan said, "Ning Wuku also has good intentions. It's just that the official has never seen it before, and I don't know ......."
"Zhou Yuanjun doesn't have to care, it's just an exotic script in an overseas country, and it's useless in Dacheng. Ning Ze said with a smile.
That's true, no one in this world knows Chinese characters except myself.
Seeing that Ning Ze skipped it lightly, Zhou Yi thought for a few seconds, and gently opened the bamboo slip: "The beginning of the plan, Sun Tzu said: soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, ......."
Originally, I was a little interested in this art of war, which I had never heard of, but I was very surprised to see the content, and the more I looked down, the widening of my eyes, and I was completely immersed in it.
"Zhou Yuanjun," seeing that he didn't leave when he got the military book, Ning Zexin said that if it was Zhou Yuan, I would continue to cultivate friendship with him and improve the bond. Although Hydroxyl is very strong this week, it would be best if he could stumble and learn stunts. But Liang Kai was still hiding from the back, and it was inconvenient to leave the other party, so he said, "This art of war was given to Ling Gongzi, I hope he can study diligently, and he will become a young hero with both civil and military skills." Your status is special, please hurry back to the camp to avoid suspicion. ”
Zhou Yi heard him say this, although he still wanted to continue to look down, and after reading Sun Tzu's Art of War in one go, he still couldn't help but put away the bamboo slips: "The content of this book is similar to Taizu's Book of War, and it has its own unique insights, which is very precious. I don't know who made it?
"Zhou Yuanjun said with a smile!" Ning Ze hurriedly waved his hand, smiled and shook his head, "This book is called Sun Tzu's Art of War, if it is compiled below, wouldn't it become Ning Ze's Art of War?"
"It's too!" Zhou Yi stared at Ning Ze with blazing eyes, "This Sun surnamed Art of War, could it be the master of Ning Wuku?"
"So to speak!" Ning Ze replied, he had learned the Art of War, and it seemed right to say that he was the successor of Sun Wu, but whether he would recognize it was another matter.
Zhou Hydroxy's eyes lit up: "I don't know where the respected master is now? To pacify the Liang Yi ant thief, the official wants to visit in person." ”
Unless you will cross, and you must travel to the time when Sun Wu is still alive on the earth, Ning Ze shook his head and replied: "The teacher has already driven to the west, and he is no longer alive!"
"Ah, it's a pity!" Zhou Jie deeply regretted, "I didn't have the opportunity to meet this kind of art of war...... However, although the Venerable Master passed away, he left these military books to Ning Wuku, presumably Ning Wuku also has the essence of the art of war?"
"Where is it? His attainments in the art of war are less than one-thousandth of the teacher's, which is really not enough to worry about. Ning Ze replied modestly.
"How could it be? I think Ning Wuku is very human. Zhou Xuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze kept looking at Ning Ze, and he remembered Tang Niu's evaluation of him.
"Zhou Envoy Jun is not going to kill Xia Guan!" Ning Ze waved his hand and smiled, "Xia Guan is just an insignificant literati in Hua County, in charge of the arsenal, and he can't even speak in the meeting hall, how can he learn anything?"
"This official is quite accurate in looking at people, Ning Wuku is definitely not a thing in the pool!" Zhou Xuan squinted his eyes and said, "The ant thief has done evil, and the Son of Heaven has died! Now that Dacheng is in danger, the heroes of the world should work together to suppress the thief and repay the country's kindness! With Your Excellency's talent, why should you succumb to Huajun? If Ning Wuku is interested, this official will greet him on the couch, and he will definitely be entrusted with a heavy task!"
Liang Kai, who was hiding behind, almost jumped out to stop him when he heard this, but he still held back, tried not to make a sound, and listened to what Ning Ze had to say first.
In the face of such a direct solicitation by Zhou Zhi, Ning Ze refused without hesitation with a smile on his face: "Thanks to Zhou Zhijun's love, Ze is grateful! The lower officials are also reluctant to Huajun industry and their families, and I hope that Zhou Zhijun will forgive me!"
"Oh, even so, the official doesn't force it. Zhou Xuan looked at him thoughtfully, and when he turned around to leave, he stopped and turned back and asked, "By the way, the city defense of Nujiang County is stable, and Ning Wuku has a plan?"
Ning Ze smiled and bowed his head: "The lower officials are only shallow in learning! Zhou Yuanjun and all the adults were heroes at that time, and they had their own ways to break the city!"
Zhou Kui's gaze stayed on him for a long time, and finally said: "Thank you Ning Wuku for the art of war, this official will urge the dog to recite and study carefully." Bothered!"
"Congratulations to Zhou Envoy~" Ning Ze clenched his fists and bowed.
When Zhou Yi walked away, Liang Kai came out from behind, obviously relieved: "Finally gone!"
"The eldest prince should also go back to the tent to rest!" Ning Ze turned around and smiled.
"Wait a minute," Liang Kai walked to the table, reached out and picked up the bamboo slips placed there, opened them and looked at them carefully, frowned and asked, "This is the so-called Sun Tzu's Art of War?"
"This volume is a work of entertainment," Ning Ze said, "and it is not a Dacheng text. ”
"I just heard that. Liang Kai nodded and put the bamboo slip back on the table, "This military book is full of praise for the history of Zhou Ting, why did you give it to Zhou Yuan, but never talked about it with me?"
Facing Liang Kai's inquiring gaze, Ning Ze shrugged: "The eldest prince ......"
"Huh?" Liang Kai immediately interrupted him.
"Oh, yes! Brother Liang. Ning Ze smiled and changed his words, "The lower officials know everything and have nothing to hide." On that day, I was recuperating in the Liang Mansion, and you often came to play, and the lower officials all wrote the art of war silently in front of you, but you only paid attention to the things of the game, but you never asked about the art of war......"
"Eh~" Liang Kai looked embarrassed when he heard this, "Okay, it seems to be like this!"
"If Brother Liang is interested, Xia Guan can copy another volume. ”
"Yes? After all, Zhou Xuandu, who is the assassin of Liangzhou, attaches so much importance to it, which shows that Sun Tzu's Art of War is by no means simple, Liang Kai immediately said, "I'll go ahead of Brother Xie Ning first!"
"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter!" Ning Ze replied with a smile.
"And!" Liang Kai hesitated, "Zhou Tingshi personally solicited it, if Brother Ning promised to be reused, why did he refuse?
"Whether Brother Liang is here or not, I will not agree to Zhou Tingshi's solicitation. Ning Ze smiled, "The reason was very clear just now, and it was all from the bottom of my heart. Ling Zun has a life-saving grace for the lower officials, and Huajun also has the mansion of the lower officials, as well as hundreds of slaves. Xia Guan has regarded Huajun as his home, how can he leave his hometown, let alone be an ungrateful person!"
Liang Kai's face looked much better, and he grabbed Ning Ze's hands excitedly: "Brother Ning, that's a good point! You can rest assured, our five brothers will try to convince our grandfather to let him eliminate his prejudice against you!"
"Then there is Brother Lao Liang!" Ning Zexin said that the foundation is gone, the Liang family in Huajun is even in the pot, I am afraid that the Liang family's industry in the counties in the county will also suffer, and when you go back, there will probably be nothing, and it makes no difference if Liang Chun's biased views on me are not removed.
After a few more greetings, Liang Kai was finally sent away. Because he promised him, before going to sleep, he took out his brush again and began to write Sun Tzu's Art of War again.
On the other side, Zhou Jie returned to the camp with his grandson's Art of War, and asked people to call his son Tang Niu and his youngest son Zhou Yuan.
The father and son got together in the tent, and when they saw the Art of War of Sun Tzu held in Zhou Xuan's hand, Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up: "Father, this Art of War ......"
"Oh! My father has already found Ning Ze and fetched a copy of the Art of War," Zhou Yi said, "I read a little bit just now, and it is not inferior to Taizu's Book of War, or even more clever!"
"Really, show me!" Zhou Yuan was impatient.
"Don't worry!" Zhou Xuan waved his hand to sit down, "Read the entire military book for my father first, and then teach you personally." ”
"Oh......" Zhou Yuan thought about it, he really didn't know many words, and he might not be able to understand them. Even if you bring it, you have to consult your father's account, and it is better for my father to teach it himself.
"Father," Tang Niu clasped his fists and saluted respectfully, "since you have seen that person, what do you think?"
"Yes, father, what do you think of Mr. Ning?" Zhou Yuan hurriedly asked.
Facing the two sons, Zhou Yi pondered for a moment: "Although this son is kind and angry, he is full of smiles and seems to be approachable. But it's not as simple as it seems. And he didn't say anything leaky, and temptation had no effect on him! Although the father did not feel any danger in him, on the whole the word 'cunning' was not a lie!"
"A child's intuition can't go wrong!" Tang Niu said solemnly, "This person is by no means a good person. ”
"Hmm~ My father wanted to recruit this person at that time, but he didn't succeed! This person can be comfortable in front of his father, and he is still very powerful. ”
"Father, the child sent someone to inquire just now," Tang Niu said in a low voice, "This person encountered a big insect in the mountains and forests around Huajun, escaped and fell into the water and drowned, and was rescued by Liang Teng, the son of Liang Chun. Liang Chun led his troops to attack the bandits of Pang Li Mountain, and this person once offered advice. Liang Chun didn't listen, and as he expected, he returned from a big defeat and fell ill on the bed. Liang Teng's father was in charge of Huajun, and there were Pang Lishan bandits outside, and Liu Bao was in turmoil, and the situation was critical. This person offered a plan to deceive Liu Bao out of the city, causing the Pang Lishan bandits and Liu Baojun to lose both in a scuffle, and set a trap to lure the thieves into the city, defeating the thief army with one fire, and eliminating the two major opponents at the same time, making the Liang family's foundation stable. Huajun was outnumbered by this soldier, and this person recruited displaced people to supplement the soldiers, and solved the problems of spring ploughing and weapons workshops. Liang Chun led the troops to unite Tong County, Dan County, and Wuduo County Taishou to conquer the general Ling Cao Boyi, and it was also this person who offered advice to break the enemy with fire twice and made great contributions!"
"Oh, is that really the case?" Zhou Xuan was surprised.
"It's true!" Tang Niu nodded and replied, "The child spent a lot of money to buy a staff member surnamed Kong next to Liang Chun and found out the information from his mouth. This person is Liang Chun's confidant, but he is a little greedy for money, and it is easy to ask. ”
"Liang Chun doesn't pay attention to this kind of mastermind?" Zhou Jie felt incredible.
"I heard that because of the battle of the Pang Li Mountain bandits, Liang Chun had a knot. ”
"Hmph, how can such a mind be successful?" Zhou Xuan stood up, "If it were me, after the battle of Pang Lishan, he would immediately promote this person as a staff member and stay by his side to assist." ”
"Father," Zhou Yuan hurriedly said, "I had a good conversation with Mr. Ning, and I may be able to recruit this person for you!"
