I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 124
Of course, at night, Liu Jian was alone in the tent watching "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals" presented to him by Lu Zhi. Halfway through the reading, he suddenly heard someone calling him at the entrance of the tent.

"Is the general asleep?"

Liu Jian looked up and saw Sun Jian standing at the entrance of the tent, holding a jar in his hand.

Seeing this, Liu Jian couldn't help laughing: "It's so late, Wentai hasn't slept yet?"

Sun Jian carried the wine jar into the tent, came to sit down opposite Liu Jian, and sighed: "I can't sleep, I think about the day, I feel really guilty, I want to have a drink with the general, is it convenient for the general?"

Liu Jian put the bamboo slips in his hand on the table, reached out and took the two wine barons next to him, and handed one to Sun Jian.

"I just lifted the prohibition on alcohol, and you came here. You have clearly planned it beforehand? Tell me, where did you get the wine? If you keep it privately, you will have to be punished!"

Sun Jian laughed loudly: "It wasn't me who hid the wine, it was because of the order that I ordered someone to buy it from nearby villages. If the general doesn't believe it, he can send someone to investigate!"

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "I don't have that skill."

After finishing speaking, Sun Jian slapped the mud seal on the wine jar and filled Liu Jian with a cup of wine.

Afterwards, the two raised their wine cups as a signal, and each had a full drink.

"Sigh, Sun is deeply ashamed of what happened in the daytime. He was taught deeply by the general, which made Sun feel relieved. Hey! It's all because of Sun's shallow knowledge, and against the general's tiger power, please don't blame the general!"

After all, Sun Jian saluted Liu Jian at the table.

Liu Jian thought to himself, did he come to apologize?

"You don't need to be like this. Mr. Wentai is ten years older than me. I should respect him as a brother. However, today's urgent matter has something to say. It's going to hurt your face. Don't take it to heart!"

Sun Jian laughed and said, "It's a small matter if you lose some face, but it's a big deal if you lose your integrity! It's really a great honor for Sun to get to know the general. The general is only in his twenties, and he can be trusted by His Majesty. General Lang is indeed a young hero, to be honest, Sun was not convinced at first, but the more he works with the general, the more he knows the general's ability!"

Liu Jian smiled lightly, and thought, in this way, did he seem to be a little bit dissatisfied with me at first?
"Wentai is brave and has a fiery personality. He talks about everything. In fact, he has an appetite for frugality. Although I am a student of Shangshu, in reality, I also started my career with military exploits. I have the same roots as Brother Wentai. out."

Sun Jian waved his hand and said: "How can I compare to the general, the general is young, not only has become a clan member of the Han family, but also has won the trust of Yuan Shaofu, it is really incomparable to others."

Liu Jian sipped his wine and didn't mention this again.

Sun Jian poured wine for Liu Jian again, and sighed: "The general is a hero from the frontier county, so he naturally knows that it is extremely difficult for people like us who have entered the officialdom with military merits to become prosperous!"

Liu Jian laughed after hearing this.

Sure enough, he is a person who has no profit and can't get up early. He came to me for a drink in the middle of the night, and he really didn't apologize sincerely. He just came here to seek what he wanted.

Sing bad faces during the day, and sing bad faces with me at night.

Liu Jian raised his head, drank all the wine in the wine bar, and then slowly said: "Wentai's words are very true. In the imperial court, those who have made military merits into official positions are still inferior in the end. It's not too late, and you need to see which family is giving you shade."

Sun Jian hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "I heard that the general has a very close relationship with Yuan Shaofu, may I recommend it for you?"

Haha, it turned out that I was thinking about it here!
No wonder, no wonder, no wonder you come to drink with me in the middle of the night.

The apology is false, but it is true that you want to use my network to climb up to the Yuan family!

Liu Jian slowly put down the wine bar in his hand, and looked at Sun Jian fixedly.

During the day, he confronted him head-on, but at night he had the cheek to let him lead him to see Yuan Ji.

The one surnamed Sun really opened his mouth three times, no wonder his son is also thick-skinned!This is all root!

"Um……"

Liu Jian thought for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and saying:

"I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult. You must know that Yuan Junhou is the second generation suzerain of the Yuan family. His status is dignified, and he hardly deals with people with military merits on weekdays."

"It seems that the reason why I can make friends with him is mainly due to the status of the clan's royal brother. If I don't have the status of the royal family, Yuan Junhou may not pay attention to me. As for Wentai, you..."

After all, he shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Sun Jian became anxious, and hurriedly said: "If the general is willing to help, I have a treasure as a gift!"

"What treasure?"

"Please wait a moment, General."

Afterwards, Sun Jian got up and left the tent in a hurry, leaving Liu Jian drinking alone here.

"Still chattering."

Liu Jian muttered in a low voice.

When I was young, I saw Sun Jian carrying a half-sized wooden box to Liu Jian's tent, and then took out stacks of bamboo slips from the box.

Liu Jian looked at him suspiciously.

"Brother Wentai, what are you doing here?"

Sitting opposite Liu Jian, Sun Jian cupped his hands and said, "To tell you the truth, this is a handwritten copy of the military scriptures handed down by my Sun family in Fuchun. I would like to present it to the general. I just ask the general to help me a lot."

Liu Jian reached out to pick up the first volume of bamboo slips and opened it.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War..."

Sun Jian hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Exactly! This is the art of war passed down from generation to generation in my family. My ancestors have a legacy. They must be passed on to the outside world. In today's world, the thirteen art of war written by our ancestors is not collected by many people, but the records are detailed. Take the one in my hand as the most!"

Liu Jian suddenly said: "Brother Wentai is the queen of the Bing Sheng?"

Sun Jian sighed: "Hey, after all, hundreds of years have passed, and the ancestors have spread their branches and leaves. Although I have inherited the name of my ancestors, it is only a remote branch in the end. However, this art of war is indeed a copy of the authentic works of the ancestors. It has been handed down from generation to generation, during which the grandfathers also borrowed from friends to copy, but they are all people who have great kindness to Sun Jian! If there is no deep friendship, we will definitely not give it!"

Liu Jian laughed loudly and said, "Brother Wentai is planning for a rainy day, and you don't forget to bring this thing with you when you go out to fight?"

"Once the battle is lost and lost, what should we do?"

Sun Jian said confidently: "To tell you the truth, I don't carry this thing with me all the time. Only this time I brought a manuscript. I have already ordered my family members to burn it immediately if there is an emergency!"

"However, according to Mr. Sun, the elite troops of the imperial court will not be able to lose to the yellow turban moth thief no matter what! This battle is not a big problem!"

Liu Jian nodded, thinking in his heart that Sun Jian was not only good at fighting, but also good at opportunistic speculation.

He specially brought his book of tactics for this battle, thinking that he might be able to meet the nobles in Luoyang in the Central Army, in exchange for some benefits.

It seems that he and some people in the army have been walking in Luoyang all year round, but they are not the ones he can see whenever he wants to.

It seems that he has long wanted to take advantage of this war to make some speculative ideas.

But since this person has such a heart, why is he still arguing with him during the day... I really don't know what is going on in his head.

It's really shrewd and wise for a while, and brave and foolish for a while.

However, Sun Wu's Art of War has been handed down in this era. For example, Cao Cao in history once commented on Sun Wu's Art of War, but it is not a popular book for the general public, and everyone is qualified to read it.

Generally, families who have found a way to copy the Art of War are also kept in a safe place, and will not be shown to outsiders.

However, due to the limitations of the copying of books in this era, as well as the special circumstances of the general environment and man-made, there will be gaps in these tactics between copying. Since the copy in Sun Jian's hand is left over from his ancestors, it must be more accurate.

Sun Wu's Art of War was a popular book in the previous life, anyone who wants to buy it can buy it, but it is different in this era.

You have to have a chance to get a copy.

Liu Jian feels a little regretful now. If he had known this before, before time travel in his previous life, he would have bought all kinds of tactics online and read them a few more times. Why bother to make a deal with Sun Jian now.

He pondered for a while and said to Sun Jian: "Since that's the case, I can agree to Wentai, but let me explain in advance that I can't introduce you to Yuan Junhou. It's up to me."

Anyway, they need to get to know each other sooner or later, so it's better to have a relationship by yourself.
