Xuande

Chapter 277 Farewell, Sun Jian

Sun Jian never believed that the main responsibility for this matter belonged to him.

He was right, it was Zhou Shen and Liu Bei who were wrong, and this hateful world.

It is all because of the mistakes of others and this world that makes me unable to stand up.

But none of this matters!

He has talent, he can fight and fight, dare to die, how could he lose the ability and determination to pursue fame and fortune because of such a small setback?

Even if there is no Zhou Shen, no Liu Bei, he can still obtain a position and obtain meritorious service!

So he decided to rely on his own strength to find another way.

He decided to "return to the old business" and visited the general He Jin many times with gifts, hoping to get his own advancement from He Jin, who was recruiting a lot of staff, and blaze a new path.

But He Jin had no interest in Sun Jian, let alone his gift.

Sun Jian's capital is really too meager. The guys who came to visit He Jin and wanted to curry favor with him were not cheaper than Sun Jian in terms of gifts. What's more, they were either He Jin's fellow countrymen or Sanhe people. He has a local household registration, and his family has some strength, so he can help He Jin nearby.

Only in this way is it worthwhile for He Jin to be promoted.

Not only do you, Sun Jian, have no money, but you still have a registered permanent residence in Jiangdong, so you can’t provide me with any help, and you want me to post you in reverse. What do you think I am doing here?For charity?
So He Jin ignored Sun Jian at all.

Sun Jian visited He Jin many times but couldn't see He Jin, so he was stumped, so he had no choice but to find another way.

Where is the other way?

Where is the person who can support him and appreciate him?

Zhu Jun?
Zhu Jun is in Ding You, and he has no position. Besides, if Zhu Jun is really capable, why bother to let himself be close to Liu Bei?
Thinking of Liu Bei, Sun Jian felt resentful again.

After the anger was over, he found that he was incompetent and furious. In fact, he didn't have any qualifications to resent Liu Bei, so he could only be even more angry.

Amid boundless anger and vague remorse, Cheng Pu came back.

Sun Jian thought that Cheng Pu simply returned to the team and didn't care, but he never expected that Cheng Pu came to resign to say goodbye.

"I am deeply grateful for your care for me, but I'm afraid I can't continue to fight with you on the battlefield."

Sun Jian was taken aback by Cheng Pu's resignation, and he didn't react for a while.

Cheng Pu fought bravely and was quite resourceful. In his opinion, he was a very good talent. More than once, he felt that he was lucky to recruit Cheng Pu when he recruited troops.

But now this talent actually wants to leave him?

What's happening here?
Sun Jian stood up involuntarily and walked to Cheng Pu's side.

"Is Demou's family safe? If there is any difficulty, I can help as appropriate and send someone to take care of your father's hall. Why did you resign lightly? Didn't Demou say that he would start a career and then return to his hometown? Now the career Why did you resign if you failed?"

Cheng Pu remembered that he once told Sun Jian what happened in his hometown.

But when he bid farewell to Sun Jian before, Sun Jian didn't ask him why he was able to return to his hometown suddenly. To Cheng Pu, it was tantamount to showing that Sun Jian didn't value himself.

Now that he asked this kind of question again, Cheng Pu's guess was further confirmed-Sun Jian didn't care about himself, and he didn't even care about his own affairs.

Compared with a superior like Liu Bei, such a superior is simply one underground and one heavenly, and there is no comparison at all.

Liu Bei really helped him with his affairs, really helped him solve his worries, made him feel extremely comfortable, made him feel that the future was promising, and made him have a desire to join his subordinates and make contributions.

Really, Cheng Pu is eager to defect to Liu Bei!

eager!

And what about Sun Jian?

It can only make him uncomfortable.

The monarch and his subjects in this era are a two-way selection process. Not only the monarch chooses his subjects, but his subjects also choose the monarch. Once they choose, they cannot easily abandon it. The cost of betrayal is too high. Everyone is extremely cautious.

What else can I say?

So the last trace of hesitation in Cheng Pu's heart disappeared.

Originally, he planned to make up a reason to deceive Sun Jian, so that Sun Jian would not feel so uncomfortable at least for now.

But now, he decided to tell the truth.

"Pu was able to return to his hometown to visit his relatives this time, thanks to Liu Shijun of Liangzhou. Liu Shijun asked his father-in-law to intercede for Pu, and Liu Jun, the prefect of Youbeiping, contributed to mediate the grievances so that Pu could return to his hometown and reunite with his relatives. I am grateful for Liu Shijun's kindness, so I decided to serve Liu Shijun, serve Liu Shijun, and repay her kindness."

After finishing speaking, Sun Jian's mind went blank, and he was stunned for a while.

Cheng Pu had no shame on his face, and stood in front of Sun Jian, calmly.

When Sun Jian finally came back to his senses, he saw Cheng Pu standing in front of him taking it for granted, and an unknown fire burst out quickly.

He shattered a pottery bowl in his hand with a flick of his hand.

"When did you start colluding with Liu Xuande?"

Cheng Pu showed displeasure.

"What you said is wrong. Pu has never colluded with Liu Shijun. Collusion can only be used on those who betray, but Pu has never betrayed. Such words are really inappropriate, and Pu thinks it is impossible."

"Shameless! How dare you say that you have never betrayed? You are my subordinate, and now you are turning to someone else, isn't it a betrayal?!"

Sun Jian drew his sword and pointed at Cheng Pu: "I will kill those who betray me!"

Cheng Pu's face remained unchanged.

"At that time, during the siege of Han Sui and Bianzhang, Pu Wei charged into battle for you, was severely injured, and was sent to the rear for medical treatment. In the wounded barracks, Pu met Liu Shijun. At that time, because of your previous actions, I am worried that Shijun Liu will have opinions on you, so Pu took the initiative to intercede for you.

Liu Shijun didn't say anything, but chatted with Pu, and learned that Pu was from Youzhou, so he got closer to him. Later, he also learned that Pu could not return to his hometown because he had offended the county official, so he helped him, and asked his father-in-law to help him. After interceding, Pu Sui was able to return to his hometown to visit his relatives and reunite with his relatives. This is Liu Shijun's kindness.

In order to repay your kindness, Pu followed you to fight north and south, and was injured many times. Every scar on his body was left to repay your kindness. Now, your kindness has been paid off, and Pu is going to repay it. Thank you Shijun Liu for your kindness. "

Sun Jian gritted his teeth and looked at Cheng Pu, gasping for breath, the hand holding the knife trembling constantly.

"You bastard! You are so clever! Didn't you get bribed by Liu Bei! Those who betrayed me must die!"

Sun Jian swung his knife to chop Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu pulled out his waist knife with a cold face, blocked Sun Jian's knife, pointed at Sun Jian and said coldly: "The Luoyang army strictly prohibits private fighting. If anyone finds out, report it to the commander. I can't keep my position, Pu Zeng is your subordinate, I still hope you can calm down."

Just as Sun Jian was about to swing the saber again, when he mentioned his position, he froze and couldn't swing the saber in his hand for a long time.

position, position.

He fought north and south, pinning his head on his trouser belt, isn't what he was doing for his position?

Lost job?

Left Luoyang in despair and returned to his hometown?

He can't imagine such a future...

The way he was holding the knife, unable to fall down for a long time, shattered the last trace of Sun Jian's image in Cheng Pu's heart.

In pursuit of fame and fortune, you have shown so many ugliness, but even so, you have done everything wrong.

Also from the lower class, Liu Xuande made almost every choice right, and still maintained his heroic spirit.

You are no longer the person in my heart who is worthy of entrusting myself and the future of my family.

Farewell, Sun Jian.

Cheng Pu sighed, put the knife back into its sheath, saluted Sun Jian for the last time, turned and left.

It was not until a long time after Cheng Pu left that Sun Jian's hand fell down, holding the handle of the knife tightly, gritting his teeth firmly, with hatred in his heart.
