A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 226
In the academy, the sound of Wang Kan's hearty laughter came from far away. Since the Five Kingdoms attacked Huaihe River, he hadn't laughed like this for a long time.

"Go and invite Sun Bin." Wang Kan said with a smile.

Soon the guards invited Sun Bin out. Seeing Sun Bin, Wang Kan was very happy. He grabbed Sun Bin's arm and said with a smile, "As expected of the grandson of Lord Wu'an, he is really powerful. I am also the unicorn of Huai State!"

"Are you Duke Huai? Is it true?" Sun Bin asked excitedly.

Wang Kan said happily: "It's guaranteed to be a fake one."

"Your Majesty, the dog is rude, and I hope you will forgive me!" A middle-aged man next to him hurriedly confessed.

"Sun Qing doesn't need to be too polite. I want my son to be a genius. I have to thank Sun Qing for giving birth to a good son!" Wang Kan was very happy.

"Your Majesty, don't praise him any more. The dog is just a little clever, with a flamboyant personality and doesn't know how to restrain himself. The strategy he said has never been practiced. Whether it can be implemented is unknown. .” Sun Ming said.

Hearing his father's words, Sun Bin was very unconvinced, and wanted to refute something, but he endured it in front of Duke Huai.

The current Sun Bin does seem a little complacent, but young people, this is the time when they long for their father's approval.And because of his talent and intelligence, he is very proud in his heart, so there are more or less minor problems, but they are all acceptable.

Jinling, the main hall of the Huai Kingdom.

"Your Excellencies, I think you also know about the academy and plan to recruit Sun Bin as a military advisor. What do you think?" Wang Kan said directly.

Hearing Wang Kan's words, although everyone had expected it, they still felt a little shocked. A 14-year-old boy served as a military adviser to an army of hundreds of thousands. No matter how you listen to this kind of thing, you think it is a joke, but now this matter It was proposed by the king
There was silence in the main hall, and after waiting for a cup of tea, one of the ministers stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Bin is indeed very good, and he is unparalleled in his studies in the military, but"

"But what?" Wang Kan smiled slightly.

"But he's too young!" said the minister, "And your lord, Sun Bin has never been on a battlefield, so it's unknown what his military strength is like!"

"The important affairs of the country are in the army and at the sacrifice. How can the life and death of 50 troops be controlled by him as a child. For the sake of our country, the country, the country, the old minister asks the emperor to take back his order!" Said the old minister directly paid respects to Wang Kan.

Wang Kan took a breath, and then said: "Zhang Qing, Sun Bin is younger, he has never been on the battlefield, and he has never led a soldier!"

"But who in this world didn't start from the first time? Back then, Jun Wu'an, the grandson of Wu'an, led an army of [-] to conquer Chu State in the west. He won five battles and five victories. He conquered Yingdu in one fell swoop and broke the backbone of Chu State. Huai country is prosperous today."

"It was also the first time Lord Wu An led the army, so according to what you said, wouldn't he be allowed to command the army?"

"Your Majesty, this old minister doesn't mean that. Lord Wu'an is a genius in the sky, how can ordinary people compare with it?" the old minister said hastily.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wu'an is the lord of soldiers from the sky, very comparable to others, but although Sun Bin is the most powerful soldier in the academy, he is not Lord Wu'an after all."

"He is the fourth generation grandson of Lord Wu'an." Wang Kan said indifferently: "As the saying goes, ambition does not lie in youth, so I am only optimistic about Sun Bin."

The minister who was about to continue arguing suddenly fell silent.

"Your Majesty, Sun Bin is too young and has an uncertain personality. If he is given a high position suddenly, it may not be kind to him!" Another minister said.

Wang Kan thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Then appoint him as a fake military adviser!"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in dismay. It seemed that the emperor was determined to appoint Sun Bin as a military advisor.

"You are opposed to appointing Sun Bin alone, but on the frontline battlefield, our Huai army is passive and can only rely on the city to defend. If Sun Bin is not used, can you have a clever strategy to win the three Jin and Qi countries?" Wang Kan glanced around the palace. Minister, said lightly.

None of the officials in the palace was sure about "this", so they were speechless.Seeing this scene, Wang Kan waved his hands and said: "Since you are not sure, then listen to Sun Bin!"

Seeing this situation, several ministers of the public office next to him knew that the matter had been settled, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, if you insist on letting Sun Bin serve as a military adviser, I think it is not impossible."

Wang Kan's eyes lit up, and he instantly felt that he was an old official in the office.

"However, the old minister feels that I should ask the minister to follow him to the army."

"Zai Otsuka, you are not young, and you are suffering in the army. If you make a mistake, how will you let Gu explain to your ancestors?" Wang Kan's face changed, and he said quickly.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I must go, but I have to!" Otsuka said: "A 14-year-old child, if there is no veteran to go, how can those arrogant soldiers in the army be willing to convince him? No matter how many talents Sun Bin has, no matter how many clever tricks, if those arrogant soldiers don't listen, what's the use?"

"The old minister is the governor of Otsuka. When he was young, he also followed Wu Zi to conquer the east and west. If the old minister stands for Sun Bin, those arrogant soldiers will definitely not dare to be presumptuous!"

When Wang Kan heard Otsuka Zai's words, he immediately understood what Otsuka Zai meant.But Otsuka Zai is 76 years old this year, how can this reassure him?
"Your Majesty, please give me an order. The old minister is also the heir of Prince Wen, and the sons and daughters of the public house are nothing more than a proper thing to worry about for the country." After Otsuka finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes.

Wang Kan hesitated for a long time, finally nodded with difficulty and said: "Then I will trouble Otsuka Zai!"

Following Wang Kan's decree, the entire Huaiguo academy was in a state of excitement. A young man who was only fourteen years old was actually appointed as a military adviser of a country.

With the issuance of the edict, Sun Bin was also very happy. At the age of fourteen, he was ranked as a public minister, which can be said to be the first in the history of the Huai Kingdom.

After Sun Bin took up the post of military adviser, Wang Kan specially dispatched two hundred forest guards to escort him to Huaibei, and Otsuka Zai also accompanied him.

The two took a boat all the way, and soon came to Huai'an, and then commanded the [-] troops that Huai'an had just assembled to go north to Xiapi.

Along the way, Otsuka Zai began to teach Sun Bin the various things that need to be paid attention to in the army.Although Sun Bin was extremely powerful in the military in the academy, he had only seen these on the bamboo slips, and had never personally experienced marching and fighting.

For him, this march is to let him verify what he has learned in the book.And with a dedicated professor like Otsuka Zai, Sun Bin can be said to have avoided a lot of detours.

In the past, when Sun Bin studied the art of war and the book of war, many times he just knew it but didn't know why.Now with Professor Otsuka Zai, Sun Bin quickly understood the things in those military books, and then integrated them into a mastery.

And marching and fighting are also the most tempering. After only staying in the army for a few days, Sun Bin's impetuosity that belonged to a teenager has disappeared, replaced by calmness.
