The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 50 Killing two birds with one stone

They hurried all the way and rested in Piling that night. Everyone who had been driving all night was exhausted, and there was still more than 200 miles to go tomorrow, so after dinner, they all went to bed early.Zhang Wen became the leader of this group without hesitation, from arranging board and lodging to allocating rooms, he took care of everything.

Sun Shao finished washing his legs and was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. Zhang Wen opened the door and walked in. He sat on another bed, shook his shoulders, rubbed his waist and said with a smile: "After all, you are a scholar, so it is better for the young master to have a healthy body." Strong and strong, it's too much to take after only a day's journey. Young master, if I snore loudly after a while, which affects the young master's rest, the young master will have to take care of it."

Sun Shao smiled: "Brother Huishu is busy, so naturally he has to be a little tired. How can I open my mouth when I eat, and stretch out my hands when I wear clothes. As for the snoring, hehe, I don't know who is disturbing whom."

"Hahaha..." Zhang Wen laughed loudly, and while arranging for his followers to bring water to wash, he said, "I'm relieved when the young master said that. I didn't have much contact with the young master before, and I always heard people say that the young master is not easy to get along with." , After getting along with each other for the past two days, Wen finally realized how false the rumors are. Where the young master was treated poorly before, please invite the young master Haihan."

"Brother Huishu was joking." Sun Shao said with a faint smile.Both he and Zhang Wen brought entourages, Zhang Wen wanted to live with him, obviously not because of money, but he couldn't figure it out, Zhang Wen is one of the four surnames of Wu, although he is not an official, he has a good reputation and strength , is not comparable to him, a male family who is excluded by others, Zhang Wen is so close to him, what is the purpose?Could it be that he has the aura of domineering?This kind of thinking is just something to think about while making fun of yourself, and it can't be taken seriously, so he has long been mentally prepared and waited for Zhang Wen to start.But Zhang Wen was obviously not in a hurry, he chatted endlessly until he heard that Sun Shao was about to doze off, so he smiled casually and said:
"Young master, I see that you didn't talk much all the way, could it be that you were sad for Gu Jun?"

Sun Shao didn’t talk much along the way, because everyone was busy on the way, and secondly, he didn’t understand what those people were talking about when they were on the way. , simply listen but not speak.Unexpectedly, Zhang Wen, who has always been the focus of everyone, saw his silence in his eyes.Now Zhang Wen asked him, and he could only smile: "Life is impermanent, and Gu Junying died young, which is really regrettable. Thinking of my poor sister and young nephew, I really have nothing to talk about. Besides, gentlemen I can't get in the way of talking about economics and art."

Zhang Wen paused, then glanced at Sun Shao: "Which scripture is Sun Shaotong's?"

Sun Shao laughed silently. He met Zhang Wen's eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I know the classics of mountains and seas."

"Pfft!" Zhang Wen couldn't help laughing, he shook his head, then slowly put away his smile, and said sincerely: "Young Master, I have something to tell you, and please think about it, if there is something paradoxical , I didn’t say anything about the young master’s bento box, okay?”

Sun Shao didn't look at Zhang Wen, but focused on his own two feet.When Zhang Wen said this, he obviously wanted to persuade him, and these words cannot be told to outsiders. If he said it more directly, Zhang Wen was showing his favor to him.It's not that Sun Shao doesn't want Zhang Wen to help him. It's his wish to have Zhang Wen, a talented man in Wuzhong, help him.But he really couldn't think of anything he could do for Zhang Wen's help.Judging from the current situation, he obviously has no future. Although Zhang Wen has not yet become an official, with his reputation and the strength of his Zhang family, it will be a matter of time before he becomes an official. Why should he report this to himself? Promising legs?
Could it be that he was just making some suggestions from the standpoint of a friend?Sun Shao hesitated for a while, and then said unhurriedly: "Shao listens all the time."

"Young master, according to my big man's habit, when a boy enrolls in the fifteenth year, he must at least have mastered the classics. Now the world is in chaos and the country is in trouble. Learning the classics is not as good as learning martial arts. The young master is naturally good at martial arts. It stands to reason that you don't need to study the classics. Make meritorious deeds. It's just that the young master must also know that every man is innocent, and he is guilty of the crime. As the young master, I am afraid that there are not many opportunities to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield."

Zhang Wen's voice was neither high nor fast, and he could hear every word clearly. His expression was very sincere, calm, and generous, so that Sun Shao couldn't see anything suspicious.Sun Shao nodded lightly, motioning for Zhang Wen to continue.

"However, you don't have to be discouraged, young master. You are a public family after all. When the Supreme is employing people here, you will not be secretly cast. Although the young master's identity is sensitive, as long as you don't touch the military power, you must be jealous of the young master." It will disappear into the invisible. The young master can not only serve his family and country, but also earn a salary, so that he will not really have to engage in lowly work to make a living. For the supreme and the young master, both are suitable. I wonder if the young master thinks so?"

Sun Shao blinked, thought for a moment, and smiled again: "Brother Huishu is right, but... I have no strengths other than a little brute force, and I am young and have no experience in politics. How can I be an official? If there is a mistake, won’t it delay the great event of the Supreme? If the Supreme will deal with me at that time, it will be against the name of relatives. A dilemma."

Zhang Wen smiled confidently. While fiddling with the water in the copper basin with his feet, he said with a smile: "Young master's words are wrong. As an official, the young master does not necessarily have to do everything by himself. As long as you choose some good subordinates, you will be fine." The young master said that you are young, have you forgotten that the Supreme Master was the head of Yangxian at the age of 15, and the prefect of Kuaiji at the age of 19. Although the Supreme Master was born with extraordinary intelligence, most of the things at that time were not handled by him personally .”

Sun Shao suddenly realized.

Sun Quan became Yangxian head at the age of 15, and succeeded Jiangdong at the age of 19. He was the prefect of Kuaiji. This is the truth.When he was the head of Yangxian, the county magistrate was Zhang Yun, Zhang Wen's father;If he listened to Zhang Wen's words and became a magistrate, who else would be the most suitable behind-the-scenes driver besides Zhang Wen?

But Sun Shao still couldn't figure it out, if he really did this, then Zhang Wen Ke would be tied to him.Why did Zhang Wen tie him up?He couldn't figure it out, and couldn't figure out Zhang Wen's intention behind doing this. He couldn't believe that Zhang Wen had seen his ambition, because so far, he had no ambition at all, and he just wanted to be a safe and secure man. Rich man, as for the unrealistic and wild thoughts of the time traveler, most of them only appear in dreams. Could it be that Zhang Wenwen and Song Shou are as good at dreaming?
This is so weird.

Sun Shao's silent expression fell into Zhang Wen's eyes, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Sun Shao didn't give him a clear answer, he hesitated, which meant that he said in the poem that he would be Tao Zhugong Not willingly, although he clearly recognized the predicament in front of him, he did not find a suitable way out of it.And if the method of instructing him by myself works, then the key person who really does things will most likely be in his pocket.And once he became Sun Shao's right-hand man, then Sun Quan could no longer take it lightly, he would definitely pay attention to him, and as long as he made political achievements, his promotion would be expected.He not only helped Sun Shao by solving his predicament, but also helped Sun Quan. Except for his heart disease, if Sun Quan did not give him the corresponding reward, then Sun Quan would not be a wise master who can occupy Jiangdong.
