Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 39
Liang Xiao didn't ask about the reason for Huan Jun's sudden change of mind.

Mr. Huan's ears are excellent, and Mr. Huan naturally heard what he and Liu Ling said under the grape trellis.If it was true as Liu Ling said, Jun Huan did not get the chance to fight on the battlefield, but suffered 16 years in prison for nothing, now that the opportunity is presented to him, it is really hard to refuse.

In history, Liu Ling claimed to be "eloquent and debating", and he was honest and not deceived.To be honest, if he hadn't known the general trend of history and knew that Huainan Wang's scholar would not be able to do anything, he might not be able to refuse this temptation, and he would have been fooled by Liu Ling and ran away.

Just like a college student who suddenly receives a high-paying offer from a Fortune [-] company, how many of them can be indifferent to fame and wealth and remain indifferent?
"Ah Xiao, bring your crossbow, let's go hunting by the river."

"Okay." Liang Xiao responded, took the small crossbow, and accompanied Huan Jun out the door.

The neighbors I met along the way saw that the master and apprentice were very polite, even though Huan Jun and Liang Xiao had gone far, they couldn't help but admire.Originally, they didn't know Jun Huan very well, they just regarded him as 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 immediately changed his mind.

No wonder Liang Xiao has such backbone, it turns out he has a master with backbone.Sure enough, a famous teacher gave birth to a high-achieving apprentice, and he deserved to be a good man of Wu Chu.

The two masters and apprentices left the city and came to the riverside. Along the river bank, they came to Hangou in the east of the city without knowing it.Seeing Wu Wang Temple from a distance, Huan Jun's eyes became complicated.He limped to the front of Wu Wang Temple and stood there quietly.

"Ah Xiao, my surname is Huan, my name is Yuan, and my style name is Xuan Bo. I used to be a general of the Wu Kingdom. I once commanded thousands of troops. I was the youngest general under the King of Wu. I was only 23 years old when I was first granted the general seal."

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

"When the king of Wu raised his troops, I suggested that Wu should have more infantry to benefit from dangers, and Han should have more chariots and cavalry to benefit from leveling the land. If you want to conquer the world, you should first occupy Luoyang, eat the grain of Ao Cang, and take advantage of the dangers of mountains and rivers, and then order the princes .”

Liang Xiao was secretly surprised.This move is poisonous enough, it's like sealing the throat with a sword.At that time, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had just ascended the throne, and his foundation was unstable, so he adopted the strategy of cutting the vassal by Chao Cuo, and the princes and kings were alienated from the court.Once Luoyang is controlled, the Han army is blocked to the west of Hangu, and allied with the Shandong princes, even if they can't break into Guanzhong, they can take half of the world, at least they won't be defeated like they were later.

Huan Jun's ability to have such insight shows that it is not the courage of a common man. No wonder Liu Ling traveled thousands of miles to Guangling to invite him.

"Why didn't King Wu adopt Master's plan?"

"The old generals under King Wu said that I was too young, only suitable for the charge, and didn't know the big plan." Huan Jun smiled wryly: "Wu King adopted their big plan, but was hindered by Liang, and was cut off by Zhou Yafu, and lost in March. "

"These veterans have misunderstood others."

"No, it's because I'm too young." Huan Jun shook his head. "I came from a humble family with a weak crown to become a general, but I don't know how to be humble. It is inevitable to be looked at sideways. As the saying goes, if you don't be the leader of power, you will be blamed. I am a role model."

Liang Xiao frowned.Liu Ling said that Mr. Huan came from the general family, but Mr. Huan said that he was from the family of Han Shu, 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. Perhaps Liu Ling knew that Lord Huan was listening, so he deliberately said something nice.

"The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, conferring titles based on military merits, but it is rare for children from poor families to have high titles. There are two reasons: one is that the battlefield is dangerous. Rewards, bloody battles are often earned by the rich and powerful."

Liang Xiao smiled helplessly.He kind of guessed what Huan Jun meant.He wanted to rely on his own ability to make meritorious deeds without relying on anyone, which was tantamount to nonsense.He knew that Jun Huan was telling the truth, it was difficult for a child from 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 failed to become a marquis, so that he left behind the thousand-year sigh of "Feng Tangyi is old, but Li Guang is hard to seal".Even if he is talented in archery, can he compare with Parachutist Li Guang?
How difficult it is to be named a marquis and a general by one's own ability.If you want to get someone to invest in the land, the best way is to rely on the powerful and enter the Huainan Palace as a guest.Even if King Huainan did not die well in the end, he could use the Palace of Huainan Prince as a springboard to escape before King Huainan raised his troops.Even if it is to rebel with King Huainan and surrender to the court, it is a good choice.

If you want to be an official, you will be recruited for murder and arson.

"It's hard to be a marquis with military merits. Liu Ling is right. Once you enter the Huainan Palace, you will have many things that you couldn't imagine before. Among other things, you can at least own a war horse and learn how to ride and shoot. I can't give you any of these."

Liang Xiao smiled, and asked back, "Is this why Master let go?"

Huan Jun nodded. "Entering the Huainan Palace, I can live comfortably and 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, showing a little cunning. "This is the way to raise your name. The Huainan Palace is known to be full of talents, and Liu Ling thinks he is smart. If you can stop her, it will be of great benefit to you. In the future, when you enter the Huainan Palace, no one will dare to despise you and my mentor. Even if you don't Entering the Huainan Prince's Mansion will also make Liu Ling have nothing to say and will not turn his face."

Liang Xiao blinked his eyes. "Master, those veterans were really blind back then. The defeat of King Wu was also God's will."

"Alas—" Huan Jun sighed, feeling melancholy.

……

A new swing was set up in the west courtyard of the Hu family, where Liu Ling stayed.

Liu Ling is still dressed in men's clothing, but he is not as formal as in the Liang family.She was sitting on the swing, holding the very smooth leather rope with both hands, floating back and forth, her eyes were as erratic as the swing.

"Am I not right?" Liu Ling tilted his head, his eyes were puzzled, and he couldn't understand it. "Could it be that this little Zhuzi didn't dare to refuse clearly, and deliberately used this question to prevaricate me? Hmph, what real insight can I get from doing things like this?"

Thinking of Liang Xiao's smiling face, Liu Ling became very annoyed. He cursed a few times in succession, but a few red clouds flew up on his face unexpectedly.

"My Lord?" Lei was interrupted from Liu Ling's wild thoughts and stabilized the swing.

"What's the result?" Liu Ling asked hastily, trying to hide his panic.

Lei frowned, and pointed to the clepsydra beside him, as if he had encountered the most incredible thing. "How could this be? No matter how high Qianqiu swings, the time for every ten swings seems to be the same."

"Really?" Liu Ling gasped, his eyes lit up. "According to this, the little Zhuzi is right?"

"I don't know if what he said is right or not, at least it is different from our common sense."

"Hey!" Liu Ling clenched his fist vigorously. "I can't tell that this cunning boy really has a bit of a different insight."

Lei was surprised to look at Liu Ling, his eyes showed worry.

In the Liang family, Liang Xiao, who was practicing archery, sneezed twice in succession, and his nose sprayed out far away.He rubbed his nose and muttered: "Who is talking about me behind my back? People are really afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. It's not a good thing to worry about too many people."
