Chapter 11 The Ambition of the Bird

"Sun Wu, where have you gone, why don't you study in the academy!"

The gentleman frowned, his eyes were like two sunken rivets, and he grabbed Sun Wu straight with a serious look.

Xiao Sun Wu pouted and said innocently:

"Sir, I just went out to play. ”

Now Mr. Zi has a reason to lose his temper, everyone in the Fangcai Academy is immersed in the endorsement, and at a glance, he sees that only Sun Wu is not in the seat, which makes Mr. very angry. Usually Xiao Sun Wu studies very hard, and is also a very smart child, often wins his own awards, and always takes the initiative to ask himself for advice when he encounters problems. But today I unexpectedly ran out to play alone, isn't it a little proud?

"You memorize the text you just taught!" Mr. wanted to test him, trying to find a reason to reprimand him.

Xiao Sun Wu immediately shook his head and recited:

"Three virtues: one is integrity, the second is Gangke, and the third is Rouke. Pingkang, integrity, strong friends, Gangke, Xieyou, Rouke. Shen Qian, Gangke, Gao Ming, Rouke. Only for blessing, only for power, only for jade food. There is no blessing, prestige, and jade food. The ministers have blessings, prestige, and jade food, which are harmful to the family and the country. The human side is quite remote, and the civilian side is arrogant. ”

Xiao Sun Wu memorized it word for word, in one go, very fluently.

The gentleman was dumbfounded, waved his hand, and the gloom on his face gradually subsided, seeing that Sun Wu was extraordinary, intelligent and malleable, and indeed a rare genius, he had to give up.

Back at home, Xiao Sun Wu ate a few bites of food and climbed up to the library at home.

The Sun family's library is simply a sea of books, and rows and rows of bookshelves are stuffed with heavy bamboo slips, and the most of them are military books. The Sun family is a hereditary aristocratic family whose ancestors have been proficient in military affairs for generations. Great-great-grandfather Tian Wuyu inherited the martial arts of the Tian family, was known for his bravery, great strength, and was favored and valued by the Duke of Qi Zhuang, and was sealed in Juyi of Qi State. Great-grandfather Sun Shu was a doctor in the dynasty, his father Sun Ping was a secretary, and his grandfather and grandson were officials for three generations, so the family collection of books can be described as full of sweat. Xiao Sun Wu is talented, intelligent, diligent and studious, and has a soft spot for the art of war.

Sun Wu buried his head in the book of soldiers, "The Book of Wars of the Yellow Emperor", "The Art of War of Taigong", "The Book of Fortune after the Wind", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Zhou", "The Records of the Soldiers of Lao Tzu", "The Book of Soldiers", "The Art of War", etc., read everything, and when there was a problem, he ran to his grandfather or father to ask what was going on, and sometimes even the adults were speechless.

The next day, Xiao Sun Wu learned two courses: "Shooting" and "Royal". He first taught the students the meaning of "shooting" and "royal":

"The shooter, the advance and retreat week must also be saluted, the inner will be right, the outer body is straight, and then the bow and arrow will be solidified. Hold the bow and arrow, and then you can speak. This can be seen as virtuous. Royal, so that the horse is also ......"

"Qi has had a "martial" style since ancient times. On the occasion of the Xia Shang, the Yi people of Qi were famous for their good shooting. The word "Yi" of the Yi people is a pictogram composed of a "big" body carrying a "bow". The Dongyi hero Hou Yi once tamed ten suns with a bow and arrow, and at the same time shot Hebo's eyes. He also shot the long snake of Fengqi to death, and shot the bird of prey "Gale Gale" to death in Qingqiu to eliminate harm for the people. People respectfully call him "Hou Yi". During the Yin Shang period, the hero of Qi Di "used his talent and strength to do Yin Lian, and fought without fighting all his life, and finally died on the seaside." Later, Jiang Taigong assisted King Wen of Zhou to destroy Shang, was sealed in Qi, established the state of Qi, and the martial customs were inherited and carried forward. ”

"If you want to get into the ranks, you must learn these two lessons!"

Mr. said a lot of words, but Sun Wu was impatient, and the only thing he remembered was one sentence - if you want to enter the ranks, you must learn this lesson well!

So under the guidance of Mr., he seriously watched Mr. do the demonstration. He felt that this was not enough, and when he usually returned home, he was tired of reading, so he secretly rode the housekeeper without paying attention, and drove away in a carriage. As for archery, he made his own arrow target and practiced it in the yard every day, sometimes to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

And "the emperor lives up to his wishes", Sun Wu's efforts were not in vain, plus he was very talented, and he became the leader of the royal archery in the same clan.

"I must become a general who gallops on the battlefield like my father!"

Xiao Sun Wu shouted in his heart, and he set up a green ambition in his heart when he was young.

He remembered the origin of his name:

Stopping fighting is martial arts, and being able to stop fighting is martial arts. The ancient book of soldiers says that "there are seven virtues in martial arts", that is, force can be used to prohibit violence, eliminate war, and stabilize the people. Didn't my grandfather name himself "Wu" precisely because he wanted to make meritorious contributions and defend his family and country in the future? Isn't it because he chose the word "Changqing" in the hope that he would be like them in the future, become an official in the DPRK and China, and become a pillar of the country?

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the major nobles within the Qi State poured into each other, attacked each other, and did not hesitate to shed blood in order to seek power and usurp the throne.

In 515 B.C., the thirty-third year of Qi Jinggong, when Sun Wu had reached middle age, he was famous, and he was also a pivotal figure in the Sun family. Gao Zhaozi of the Gao family, one of the four major families of the Qi State, united the three families of Luan, Bao, and Tian against Yan Ying, and Sun Wu, as the elite of the Sun family, naturally participated in it. However, rebellion is no worse than suppressing a nest of robbers, in the name of "eliminating harm in the name," and rebellion is "against morality."

Sun Wu grew up in this country and has endless feelings for this country. How can the family business and fame that have been built up by one's ancestors from generation to generation be put into villains in one's own hands?

He wandered around the study, from left to right, and walked as many times as he went, like a flickering flame in the breeze.

I have never encountered such a difficult choice, and in the past, on the battlefield, no matter how urgent the battle, I was always able to make a decisive decision, and every time I judged correctly. But only at this moment, he is so indecisive. I really didn't expect that a manly husband would have such a time.

Gao Zhaozi must have his intention to unite the three major families, he wants to use the power of others to seek power and usurp the throne, and then merge the three major families of Luan, Bao, and Tian together. This person is very deep in the city, and the organs are exhausted, so he still retreats bravely in the rapids, and Mingzhe protects himself as the best policy...... But what's the point of being an outlaw in this way? If you use your talents in the combined army and use them by others, you will surely be able to accomplish great things......

And Shuxian, and my own children, what about them? I can't leave them alone! They are my dearest relatives.

Impatient. Loss. Helpless.

Clan. Wife and children. Make a difference.

How do I choose?

Sun Wu stopped, but his heart was still wandering.

The wheels rolled, rolling up a yellow dust;

The horses galloped together, leaving behind an old city.

His eyes were like wisps of gossamer, pulling at every battlement of the city, pulling the gate that was about to be closed, floating on the banner with "Qi" written on it, hovering over the city, and not disappearing for a long time.

"Dad, where are we going?"

Sun Wu pondered for a moment, swept the window, and looked at the rows of poplar trees retreating, his face suddenly darkened.

Yes, where are we going? The world is so big, how can there be no place for us? As long as we cross the border of the Qi country, it will be another country. The people there don't look much different from themselves, and they dress in the same way. How can it be said that there is no place to stay? However, the world is so big, there is no relatives and no reason, and there is a place for itself in a foreign land?

He didn't know how to answer, just silently looked out the window.

Shuxian has already seen his thoughts, since she stepped into this family and married Sun Wu, she has been determined to follow him to the death, "holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son", and the life of the two after marriage is also full of harmony.

In the scorching summer, Sun Wu wore a short shirt and wrote "The Art of War" in the study, he was sweating profusely, like a tired ox. Shuxian accompanied him on the side, holding a fan in his hand, fanning him to drive away the heat. Although her tired hands were soft, she did not cry out for bitterness and rested for a while......

She clenched Sun Wu's hand, Sun Wu turned his head, and the two stared, time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The husband and wife smiled heartily, with a touch of sorrow, a little reluctantly.

"We go to a distant place, a place without worries......"

The carriage grunted into the distance.

Sun Wu crossed the border of Qi and traveled thousands of miles to Wu to settle down at the foot of Luofu Mountain.

What a paradise!

In the early morning, the sun erupted from the sea, first red and lone light, then the golden wheel emerged, and then, ten thousand rays of light broke through the clouds, especially bright. At dusk, the sun sets, the sunset is crimson, such as blood baking, the sun gradually fades, the sun clouds reveal golden light, and the embroidered cloud brocade appears.

What a gift from heaven to me after the fall!

Sun Wu and Shuxian were diligent, opening a few acres of barren land, surrounding a few vegetable gardens, and living a leisurely life in seclusion. "Morningside is desolate, and he returns with the moon and lotus. "Straight to the point, there are many strange peaks, which adds a touch of interest.

The days are like a river, flowing with a bang, and the ordinary life is free and unconcerned, but one day you will get bored, let alone for a person who has great ambitions.

Wait, wait, wait. When will we be able to meet the opportunity to go out of the mountain again?

Sun Wu held the pen in his hand, seeking relief in the large pile of bamboo slips in the study, but how could he understand his own mood with the dense words on it?

On the east mountain, a new round of the sun rises, fiery red and red, like a burning flame, breaking through the clouds on the peak, dispelling the layers of mist, as if announcing its power to the world.

Sun Wu looked at the sun, unexpectedly unfamiliar, as if he saw it for the first time, curious and surprised.

He gently put down the brush, covered the book, and pulled out the dusty ancestral sword from under the wooden box.

The sound of "poof-" is still as crisp as before, and when you wipe the blade of the sword, it is still extremely sharp.

He walked out of the study and danced, the blade shining brightly in the sunlight.
