"The Second Young Master has greatly improved his understanding and ability to handle government affairs in the past few days. I believe it won't be long before the Second Young Master can manage a huge county like Kuaiji alone.￠￡,"
Another civil servant who stayed in Wu County to assist Sun Quan, Chen Duan, looked at Sun Quan with a smile on his face while sorting out the official documents at hand. He didn't have many words of praise, but more of corrections and advice, but his closeness was still beyond words.
"Yes, I have read a lot of books recently, and I have gained some experience and insights, but I am not mature enough yet, and I still need more guidance from Mr. Zizheng. But... Mr. Zizheng really feels that Quan has made a lot of progress recently.
Is it improved?"
"Of course," Chen Duan, who was not much older than Sun Quan, laughed immediately as he looked at the young man whose face was full of expectant expressions. "Second Young Master, there is no need to belittle oneself. Duan believes that as long as Second Young Master continues to grow like this
If you keep going, you will be able to become a good helper to your lord one day in the future, and I believe this end is not too far away."
He clenched his fist hard, and although he tried hard to control the expression on his face, just like Qin Song and Chen Duan taught him, how could the joy from the heart be restrained by the young man's palace? It had already been written on
Between the eyebrows.
Then it turned into blushing shyness in the next moment - in Chen Duan's slightly unscrupulous laughter.
However, the efforts during this period of time were indeed not in vain.
Walking briskly, Sun Quan felt that his body had never been so brisk and powerful as it was today.
After returning home, I greeted the two mothers and listened to their instructions for a while. In the Han Dynasty, which governed the country with filial piety, although the Sun family had a strong separatist tendency, many of the social habits that had been formed were
It will not change, even if this "ask for instructions early and report later" in most cases
Under the circumstances, it is just a formulaic greeting, but don’t you see that every year, even if it is just a formality, those leaders have to go to the grassroots level to walk around the streets at specific times. And even if those ordinary people know that the leaders are just pretending to complete the task, but
I still feel excited about being interviewed by leaders.
For most ordinary people, most of the exciting emotions are not for show in front of others, but true feelings from the bottom of their hearts - without others. The hard work they have done can still be known to others, and they will be remembered.
Living here, doesn't this prove that you are valuable to this society? And to your loved ones, especially
Especially for most elderly people, they also know that their children and grandchildren are busy, so they don’t expect anything extra. In other words, they also hope that their children and grandchildren can make achievements outside. They can see and exchange a few words with them every day, even if sometimes it is just
Despite the perfunctory formulaic content, you can still feel a little bit of family-like warmth.
Not to mention that Sun Quan was a filial son and didn't think such behavior would be too troublesome.
"Seeing that the second young master is so proud, it seems that something good has happened to him. I might as well share it with the old man. Is it okay?"
As soon as he returned to his house, he saw Yu Jilaodao, who seemed to have been waiting indoors for a long time.
Recently, Sun Quan, who wants to gain stronger strength, has been learning various strategies from Yu Ji. Although Yu Ji does not come every day, he will appear in front of Sun Quan at the same time every three to five days.
Speaking of which, Yu Ji Laodao once presented "Taiping Qing Ling Dao" to Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty. Although that thing is called a Taoist book, except for the content that is enough to turn Li Shushi's eyes into mosquito repellent and his brain into a short circuit.
, in fact, there are many other miscellaneous subjects
——For example, it can be as big as running the country, marching and forming formations, as small as observing people, treating diseases and saving people, etc. Although it was not accepted by Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, it is conceivable that in addition to various Taoist skills, Yu Ji taught Sun Quan some
There is no problem with miscellaneous studies.
"Haha, the knowledge imparted by the master is indeed extraordinary. Although the martial arts skills still need time to be verified, the political methods and military strategies have already made the few advisers left behind by my brother treat me differently."
"This is naturally because of the Second Young Master's talent and intelligence, but the Second Young Master should also know that what the old man said is true."
"The Taoist Priest is famous in the land of Wu Hui because of his extraordinary ability and scholarly nature. The boy has always admired him. Although there were some conflicts between him and his eldest brother before, I think it was just some minor differences between them.
Misunderstanding, when the eldest brother returns with his troops, the boy will naturally tell the eldest brother, so that the eldest brother and the Taoist priest can resolve the misunderstandings between them."
"Second Young Master, there is no need to be so busy for Old Master. The pure will become clear from itself, and the turbid will become dirty from itself. Time will verify everything. Now that Second Young Master has been able to understand and understand the previous teachings of Old Master, then Old Master can continue to teach Second Young Master more.
knowledge.”
"Please also ask the teacher to give you some advice."
"As I have said, the Second Young Master and Lao Dao are not masters and disciples, but the Second Young Master's two mothers are sincere to the Tao. The Second Young Master also hopes that the Second Young Master can sincerely assist your brother and use the Second Young Master's generosity to heal the worries surrounding your brother.
Ruiqi, and then taught some worldly strategies, but they were nothing more than "The Taoist Master" obtained from the past years.
I learned some superficial things from "Taiping Qing Ling Dao". But the sacred book has disappeared, otherwise it would be a good idea to give it to the second young master who is destined to the old Tao. So the old Tao here also asks the second young master not to think that the old Tao is hiding something.
It’s so good, how could it not be imparted to the second young master all the knowledge he needs?”
"Then I wonder what subtle knowledge the Taoist Master is going to impart to the boy today?"
"Ah~ What I was taught this time was not the knowledge of governing a country and bringing peace to the world, but it is closely related to the knowledge of governing a country and bringing peace to the world."
"Eh? You actually have such knowledge?!"
"Of course there is, and from an experienced perspective, this knowledge is extremely important to the Second Young Master."
"Real or false! Then I want to learn, and I will definitely study hard. But I don't know what the name of this knowledge is?"
"Haha, Second Young Master, please be patient. What the old Taoist is going to teach Second Young Master this time is called the 'Way of Protection'. However, this 'Way of Protection' is not only something that Second Young Master must learn alone, but also requires
It only takes a dozen trustworthy confidants."
"This..." Although Sun Quan was already extremely convinced of Yu Ji Laodao, when Sun Quan knew that Yu Ji planned to let him find other people to study with him, even if those people were his confidants according to Yu Ji Laodao, he still had some scruples.
After all, although Sun Quan himself trusted Yu Ji Laodao very much. Even his two mothers also admired and respected the "immortal" Yu Ji, but Sun Quan's eldest brother Sun Ce still had the final say in Jiangdong, and Sun Ce's attitude towards Ji was
It can be said that Jiangdong is well-known in the streets, so Sun Quan, who is studying with Yu Ji, naturally does not want other people to know his secrets.
If he can resolve the conflict between Sun Ce and Yu Ji, then there will naturally be no problem in making a public selection. But under the current circumstances, if Sun Ce finds out about his relationship with Yu Ji, even if no one is killed, it will
You will definitely get scolded.
So Sun Quan was absolutely very cautious in this matter.
"The second young master is bound to become a great man in the future. Whether he is fighting on the battlefield during wartime or working in the government office on weekdays, he will inevitably have no eyesight for swords and arrows, or he will try to shake the towering tree with the power of an ordinary man. And this 'Guardian'
"The way" is to solve this situation. So the old way proposed to let the two
The young master can find more than ten confidants who can be trusted, or can be trusted with his life, and the old Taoist can teach him the 'way of protection'. This will ensure that the second young master can help your brother for a longer period of time, at least there will be no such thing as the second young master before.
The critical dilemma encountered when hunting tigers. There is no reliable person around to help rescue.
Or maybe... the second young master is still too young and really can't find anyone he can trust?"
Although Yu Ji still looked as leisurely as before at this time, Sun Quan felt that the other party was laughing at him no matter what he looked at.
"Of course I can find enough confidants, but... I just don't know if they have the qualifications to learn the profound knowledge from you, Taoist Priest. If their qualifications are too poor and they delay Taoist Priest's teaching, then it will be...
Too bad."
The young man couldn't bear the excitement. Although he was still a little reluctant in his heart, the taste of his words changed again when he spoke.
Even though he is still looking for excuses, he is clearly ready to "surrender".
"Haha, the old Taoist's 'Way of Guardianship' does not require any qualifications. It requires a heart that dares to sacrifice. As long as you have this heart that dares to sacrifice for your master anytime, anywhere, you can be in the hands of your master when necessary.
Sword in hand, shield in hand.”
In this way, Sun Quan had no excuses and could only surrender.
Speaking of which, how could a young man like Sun Quan be a match for someone as old as an old monster like Yu Ji?
Although at Sun Quan's current age and lack of much experience, it is indeed difficult to judge the people close to him. At least for most of his former subordinates, Sun Quan does not think that those people will be more loyal to him than to his brother.
Sun Ce. Even if he can find subordinates under such conditions,
Most of them can still more or less fulfill their duties as "confidences" on important matters, but it is difficult for those people to be able to do something as seemingly ordinary as Yu Ji teaching him various knowledge.
Despite Sun Ce's might, he still ensured that he could keep his mouth shut.
In fact, Yu Ji had implicitly recommended his disciples to Sun Quan, but without too much thinking, Sun Quan directly rejected Yu Ji's proposal - in other words, using Yu Ji's disciples as bodyguards did not have to worry about these people leaking their words.
The problem with the relationship between myself and Yu Ji is that their existence itself is the biggest source of information leakage, okay!
So in the end, Sun Quan still selected more than thirty guys who met his heart from the soldiers who had followed him to the battle.
Some of them looked a little dull, some looked very clever, some had a bad temper, and some looked a little quiet and delicate. It can be said that these young people who were originally just ordinary soldiers and performed well were basically unaware.
Why were they chosen as personal attendants by the dignified second son of the Sun family? But for them, this was undoubtedly a great honor and trust.
Yes, since I can't find anyone I can trust, I might as well train him from scratch.
Just like what Yu Ji Laodao said when he educated him before, even if Sun Quan is unlikely to take over Sun Ce's position in the future, having a group of trustworthy confidants is a huge asset no matter where he is.
In the civil service system, with Sun Quan's current status, there is no good way to train him. So let's start with soldiers.
Anyway, one method is the same as all methods. Different people may need different methods to win over - feelings, money, status, etc., but the methods are common. What is needed is the ability to figure out the other person's thoughts.
These ordinary soldiers, as well as a few personal servants selected at the last moment that Sun Quan felt comfortable using, together formed the 40-person training class used by Yu Ji to train Sun Quan's security guards in the future.
Of course, some of these people are destined to be eliminated, and some will die in the harsh training. After all, the intensity of the training made even Sun Quan feel a little unbearable after watching it once.
A gushing feeling echoed through the esophagus.
"Taoist Master, do you really need them to do this?"
"You have to endure hardships to become the best among men. If they can't even bear these, how can they protect you, the second young master, at the critical moment? You must know that when they are really needed, they will have to endure all the hardships.
It’s a sword, an ax, and a sharp arrow!”
Yu Ji's explanation made Sun Quan fall into silence, and in the end he did not continue to argue.
Because he thought of the tall figure who firmly protected his body during the battle to suppress the gangsters. That figure's back was severely injured. Almost no part of the skin on the back was intact under the attack of swords, guns, swords and halberds.
Yes. In that situation, only such a warrior can protect himself thoroughly. If he wants to protect his own safety and become his own "human shield", he must be able to withstand such pain in order to be considered a qualified performance.
.
Combining his own experience, Sun Quan felt that he seemed to have reached the most correct conclusion.
"Taoist Priest, please redouble your training. Even if something goes wrong, I will be responsible for everything. I will give the families of the deceased the maximum reward. Tell their families that these people died heroically in battle."
Among them, I, Sun Quan, will always remember them!"
Looking at the determined Sun Quan, Yu Ji could not help but show a little surprise, but it soon turned into a smile of relief.
Sun Quan, Sun Zhongmou, the descendants of Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian and Sun Wentai are indeed also people who cannot be underestimated...
What made Yu Ji Laodao look at Sun Quan with admiration even more was that Sun Quan not only did not avoid those cruel trainings after that, but instead, no matter how unbearable it was, he kept forcing himself to watch seriously and stand with the suffering soldiers.
When the training of the soldiers came to an end, he personally took the medicine and comfort food and distributed them one by one to the soldiers in the "training class" who were covered in blood and flesh and could hardly see any good things.
"Taoist Master, I have the right to sacrifice anyone to preserve the foundation created by my elder brother. This is the bounden duty of me now and perhaps in the future. However, if I make such a decision clearly, then I will also
We have an obligation to fully imprint in our hearts the contributions these people have made towards this goal.
Here. I don’t think I made any wrong decision, so after making such a decision, I naturally shouldn’t evade my obligations. I am here, accompanying those brave soldiers, waiting
They can make a triumphant return, or they can walk with them at the end of their lives."
It seems that just overnight, the once naughty and noisy minors turned into thoughtful adults.
Although the next moment, because of the appearance of a very strong picture, I ran to the side and vomited again.
only……
"The room for the growth of this second young master may be much greater than expected. There are countless experienced Taoists, but sometimes he makes mistakes. Perhaps the Sun Bofu is too dazzling, so that it obscures the light of his younger brothers.
Not necessarily. It seems that the third, fourth and other siblings also need to observe by themselves, otherwise there might be something wrong."
Of course, I would not say these words to Sun Quan who was vomiting beside him.
In other words, even if Yu Ji wants to praise Sun Quan now, Sun Quan will definitely not listen. After all, even though he has been on the battlefield, he has also seen all kinds of fighting and the tragic scenes of death, and even the dead are often right in front of him.
Or maybe he did it himself, but after all, it was a quick knife in and a quick knife out, and it was a pleasure to come and go, instead of completely torturing and destroying the pain nerves of those future elite guards like now.
Although it is conceivable why Taoist Yu Ji said that you must be fully mentally prepared for such training, and the mortality rate will not be low. But as long as you can complete the training, you will definitely become the best "human shield". It is really a sharp sword and an axe.
Add to body without changing color.
It's just the process... Sun Quan feels that he is a warm-blooded young man with normal views. There is really no way he can be so cold-blooded that he can still talk and laugh even if such a real scene appears in front of him, and even regard it as "music and dance" to accompany the meal.
.
Not to mention that due to the hot and humid weather, wounds that are not treated in time will change for the worse, leaving a certain area with various more unbearable stenches in addition to the smell of blood.
So those disgusting guys are definitely big perverts, right?
However, Sun Quan also believes that after this training of courage, he will probably not be too surprised by any emergencies that occur on the battlefield in the future. If his nerves cannot be trained to be strong enough, then he will not be too surprised.
He will definitely vomit out all the bile - of course the current situation is not much better.
Of course, apart from running here every day to "practice his courage", Sun Quan would not slack off in other aspects of his study and work.
Because of this, not long after, I had some free time to watch Yu Ji Laodao train (destroy) the guards while trying to endure the strange mush that kept regurgitating from his stomach like an old cow.
Sun Quan, who was in a state of affairs, no longer had the "comfort" he had before - well, if that could really be called "comfort".
Yu Ji's Taoist training suddenly increased a lot in his personal martial arts. He even taught him a little bit of Taoism.
Such changes naturally made Sun Quan feel overjoyed. Although he didn't know the reason, seeing Yu Ji Laodao's expression of satisfaction occasionally inadvertently showing, it was probably because his qualifications satisfied Yu Ji Laodao.
Think about it, in fact, even if I, Sun Zhongmou, am not as good as my eldest brother and Zhou Yu, that slutty guy who always pesters me, I am actually a genius boy who far exceeds my younger brothers and sisters in terms of talent - by a certain person who started to have wild thoughts in his sleep
The second son of the Sun family.
Of course, these newly added trainings are naturally the same... inhumane.
Although it is not as high as those of the guards who can even cause death, for a "noble young master" who is pampered and has only accepted some not too harsh teachings from his brother, it is definitely not very good.
Better off.
In the first three to five days, Sun Quan only suffered minor injuries or often had to exercise until he was exhausted.
But later on, injuries can be said to be commonplace, especially the pain suffered after exhaustion. It requires various precious herbs for internal and external application and bathing to ensure that the body will not stay in this high-intensity "torture".
Hidden dangers.
"This is not a 'rich man but a poor man'. If it hadn't been for my dearest eldest brother who left me a considerable amount of savings, perhaps I would have been lying in bed forever. I don't know that my eldest brother was killed by my father back then.
Is this also the case during training?
Ah, the eldest brother of the Kingdom of Heaven (Sun Ce: I am not dead yet!), little brother, I finally understand your difficulty at the beginning. Sure enough, you want to become a majestic general who can frighten the enemy on the battlefield. It is really a pain.
The understanding.
However, when my brother comes back, he will definitely be surprised."
With this beautiful wish, the young man who was exhausted physically and mentally and hurt all over fell into a beautiful dreamland.
As the days passed, the intensity of the training continued to increase inadvertently, whether it was the guards or Sun Quan, the person who would be protected by the guards.
More than five guards have been eliminated, not because they cannot meet the standards trained by Ji Laodao, but because they will never have the chance to reach that standard that makes all guards feel a little desperate.
However, when a body was first taken away from the training ground, the remaining guards might still feel a little bit sad about the death of a rabbit or a fox, but as time goes by, they are gradually becoming numb, as if they were facing a sword.
Reaction to being present.
As for Sun Quan, he seemed to have gradually adapted to this kind of life. Even because he felt the various changes in his body, his motivation was still so sufficient. If it hadn't been for the dissuasion of Yu Ji Laodao, he might have ordered his troops to prepare for this casually.
A stronghold of bandits or Shanyue people to practice everything you have learned during this period.
The dream that was only dared to be shouted out in a dream seems to be getting closer and closer to reality. (To be continued...)
