Chapter 372: Jiang Wei's apprenticeship
Hearing Yang Ling's words, not to mention Ma Teng and other officials in Liangzhou, even his own cronies such as Gan Ning and Zhou Cang also looked a little disapproving.
Jiang Yin's son is only seven years old after all.
No matter how smart you are, how smart can you be?
It's just Jiang Jian trying to put gold on his face!
But after all, Yang Ling was the general of the expedition to the west who commanded the northwest of the Han Dynasty, and everyone didn't say anything, just asked Jiang Jian to take Jiang Wei over.
Noticing everyone's expressions, Yang Ling just smiled and said nothing.
After a while, Jiang Jian went and returned, and a young boy with a delicate face followed him.
"Jiang Wei, I've seen you all the envoys."
Yang Ling, Ma Teng and others sitting in the hall are either generals of the imperial court or assassins of a state.
But Jiang Wei was indifferent, without the slightest crampedness.
He walked forward slowly, and bowed respectfully to the crowd.
"Jiang Wei greets all the envoys!"
Originally, everyone didn't pay much attention to Jiang Wei, but seeing that he was so young and so calm and knew how to be polite, they couldn't help but bow their heads slightly, showing appreciation.
"You're Jiang Wei?"
Yang Ling looked at him carefully, and then smiled,
"I heard from your father that you came up with the plan to ambush the rebels?"
Jiang Wei thought about it and didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically,
"I wonder if the general wants to hear the truth or a lie?"
When he asked this, Yang Ling became interested,
"What do you mean by that?"
"If the kid tells the truth, I'm afraid that the general and the envoys won't believe it, and they will think that the kid is deceiving you."
Jiang Wei replied.
Yang Ling couldn't help but be happy,
"It's okay, just tell the truth."
"Good!"
Jiang Wei saluted again,
"As the general said, the plan to ambush the rebels was indeed conceived by the boy."
"You're just a yellow-mouthed kid, how can you come up with it?"
Ma Teng couldn't help but question.
"Back to the history of assassination, we have a collection of thousands of books in the Jiang clan of Hanyang, and the kid likes to read military books in his spare time, and after a long time, he will know a little about soldiers and horses."
"As for the situation of the rebels, my father told me."
Jiang Wei is neither humble nor arrogant.
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Jiang Jian and Jiang Xu.
"He's right, we do have a lot of books in our clan."
Jiang Xu nodded.
The surname Jiang is a big surname in Liangzhou, and the Tianshui (Hanyang) family is the most prominent.
It is not surprising that there are thousands of books in the clan.
"Xia Guan saw that the dog was extremely interested in military affairs, so he told him about the general situation of the world from time to time."
Jiang Jian said.
When they said this, it seemed that Jiang Wei's statement was not flawed.
But the crowd still didn't believe it.
Other people's seven-year-old children are still learning to read and write, and they are in the enlightenment stage, and you began to read the art of war in the clan at the age of seven?
It's really outrageous, it's outrageous, it's outrageous!
Seeing this situation, Jiang Wei said unhurriedly,
"If you don't believe it, you might as well test the boy."
"Okay, I'll come!"
However, Zhao Yun, who has always been low-key, stood up first.
As soon as he pondered slightly, he compared Jiang Wei with the content of "The Art of War".
After so many years, "The Art of War" is now well-known in the Han Dynasty.
But all military generals who march and fight, almost the first art of war they come into contact with is the Art of War.
In the face of Zhao Yun's examination, Jiang Wei also expressed his views while answering fluently.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be amazed.
Although Jiang Wei's views are still a little young, in terms of his age, they are already rare.
After Zhao Yun finished the exam, everyone's suspicion of Jiang Wei had disappeared, but they turned to appreciation, as well as admiration for Yang Ling!
Before, they thought that Yang Ling was making a big fuss, but now it seems that he is so wise.
If he hadn't insisted on meeting Jiang Wei, he was afraid that they would have missed this genius boy!
"Big brother, I have a reluctant request!"
Zhao Yun suddenly spoke.
"Zilong, but that's what he said."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"I want to accept this young man as an apprentice, I don't know what the eldest brother wants?"
After the discussion just now, Jiang Wei had already made Zhao Yun feel amazing, and suddenly had the idea of accepting him as an apprentice and teaching him what he had learned all his life!
Jiang Xu and Jiang Jian on the side were a little excited when they heard this.
What is Zhao Yun's identity?
Yang Ling's sworn brother, a senior military general of the imperial court, is extremely superb in martial arts.
Back then, he and Dian Wei worked together to defeat Lu Bu.
If Jiang Wei can worship him as a teacher, he will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future, and even with the Jiang family, he can soar!
But when Yang Ling heard this, he shook his head,
"No."
Everyone was stunned.
Yang Ling actually disagreed?
"Big brother, why is this?"
Zhao Yun was a little dazed.
He didn't expect that Yang Ling, who had always taken good care of himself, would refuse such a small request.
Jiang Jian and Jiang Xu couldn't help but show their disappointment.
Yang Ling laughed,
"Because I'm going to take him as a student myself!"
A handsome man like Jiang Wei, Yang Ling is naturally reluctant to give it to others, of course, he has to accept it himself.
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be moved!
You must know that Yang Ling is the son-in-law of Cao Cao, the Duke of Wei, and the general of the imperial court, who is in a high position.
Not only was he resourceful and helped Cao Cao defeat Lü Bu, Yuan Shu and other princes, but it was also rumored that his martial arts were terrifying, and even Lü Bu died in his hands!
Such a heroic figure, he actually wants to accept Jiang Wei as a student?!
"Your father and son are still stunned, why don't you thank the general?"
Jiang Xu was the first to react and hurriedly reminded.
"Yes, yes, thank you for your appreciation!"
Jiang Jian forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, dragged his son Jiang Wei, and asked him to salute Yang Ling.
Although Jiang Wei is young and old, he was accepted as a student by Yang Ling for some reason, and he is still a little confused.
However, he still followed Jiang Yin's meaning and honestly saluted Yang Ling.
"Student Jiang Wei, meet the teacher!"
"Good!"
Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Zhao Yun, who was depressed on the side,
"Zilong doesn't have to be disappointed, you will teach him martial arts in the future."
"Jiang Gongcao, you really gave birth to a good son."
Ma Teng changed his previous indifference to Jiang Jian and said with a smile.
"Yes, Jiang Gongcao, since we are colleagues, we will definitely move around often in the future."
"If you need help with anything, just ask."
"That's right, we're all our own people."
The rest of the officials in Liangzhou are also gossiping.
Jiang Yin, who was originally the lowest official in the hall, suddenly became the focus, which made him a little unaccustomed.
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Jiang Jian hurriedly thanked everyone.
He knew very well in his heart that the reason why this was the case was thanks to Yang Ling!
