Chapter 5825 The young man has gone through vicissitudes
When he met Sun Zan and Liu Zhenshan, Lin Haoming judged that Ning Yu, who was operating in Huanglang Mountain, might be protected by others, so he deliberately led them to Huanglang Mountain so that Ning Yu could get some help. However, he later discovered that
Things were not at all what they thought, so naturally the group of people ignored it.
In fact, for more than ten years, Sun Zan and Liu Zhenshan have been active in Huanglang Mountain with their troops. However, Huanglang Mountain is really barren, and the Chu State continued to infiltrate. In order to survive, they also had a close relationship with the Chu State.
Originally, Zhang Xiao's downfall was also a good thing for them. Although An Guogong's fiefdom could not be returned, the title was still there. At least he could still be a rich man and enjoy the fiefdom tax. However, with the subsequent conflict with the Chu State,
, the young master was reported, and unfortunately he was arrested. Liu Zhenshan was desperate, and then he remembered his original relationship and came to Lin Haoming.
These days, Lin Haoming takes Ning Lin out with him most of the time, avoiding the people who come to his door. However, this person's matter also worries Lin Haoming, because the young master's ability was indeed good, and he could
I have been living in the south till now, and I am pretty good at it.
Lin Haoming then asked Wei Yan about the specific situation and learned that the young master was now imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The crime was simple, that is, secretly communicating with the Chu State.
I am in charge of the White Dragon Guard. Those who are really secretly liaising with the Chu State, if there are still those who have not been marked, are either really well hidden, or they are the kind of little people who don't look down on them at all. This young master, these
He has had a close relationship with the Chu State for many years, but the White Dragon Guards did not list him as a person who knew Chu. So this matter is actually very simple, because Sun Zan's An Guogong is already considered to be from the previous dynasty, and he was considered a member of the previous dynasty.
When they all went to Wei Tong, he didn't go. Obviously, some people excluded him from the ranks of those who could inherit the title of the previous dynasty. However, Sun Zan never took refuge with Zhang Xiao, and it was not easy to depose him in name, so he could not be dismissed directly.
So I put Tongchu's hat on him.
After thinking about this clearly, Lin Haoming felt that Sun Zan was indeed a little unjust, but since he was a capable person, it was not impossible to use him.
Therefore, Lin Haoming went to the Bailongwei Yamen in person the next day, and then asked the people below to go to the Penal Department Prison to get Sun Zan over.
More than ten years ago, when he and Sun Zan were escorted to the northwest together, Sun Zan was just a teenager, and now he was about the same age as Wei Qian. But when he saw this young man again, Lin Haoming discovered that
The other party already looked like a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old. It didn’t take much to think about it, but he knew that living in the Huanglang Mountains during those years would definitely not have been that good. Naturally, he would not be able to maintain his appearance as a young man despite being exposed to the wind and the sun.
Although a long time has passed, the spirit of Sun Zan has not dissipated. Even Lin Haoming found that when they looked at each other at this time, he did not flinch at all, and even took the initiative to say: "Master Lin, farewell."
Over the past ten years, the adults are almost the same as before, but a little more calm, but I am no longer the young man I used to be."
Sun Zan's words were self-deprecating, but there was no discouragement in his tone. Lin Haoming also smiled and said, "Does the young master know why he is like this?"
When Sun Zan heard Lin Haoming's question, he immediately said: "Of course I know that the problem lies in your title of 'young master' just now, Mr. Lin. The Wei family's generation is already counting, and I, the young master of An Guogong,
I will soon become the Duke of the former dynasty. Although I have been an ally of Duke Wei for many years, my power is not in the eyes of Duke Wei. Back then, Duke Wei promised to surrender to the princes, and after the founding of the country, he still enjoyed the title and title.
The fiefdom is subject to 20% of the tax, and I am not excluded from this list. It would be fine if I was just a small role with a title but no fiefdom. However, my fiefdom, Duke An, was quite large back then, so it is normal for me to be in jail today."
After Lin Haoming heard this, he found that Sun Zan was as smart as before and could see the situation clearly, so he continued to ask: "In this case, what is the purpose of the young master looking for me?"
When Sun Zan saw Lin Haoming asking, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Mr. Lin, now that times have changed, the title 'Little Master' is no longer needed. When you and I met, I knew that Master Lin would definitely be able to do something great, but Lin
Sir, you are much more powerful than I thought. In fact, I regretted it very early. If I invited you to go south together, the situation might have been completely different. But then I thought about it, how could Sir Lin come with me in that situation? On the contrary,
Now, I know very well that I have to follow Mr. Lin to survive, otherwise even if I really go to the Chu Kingdom, there will probably be no good end."
"You want to take refuge in me?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Now that the Yue Kingdom is about to use a new system, the news that Mr. Lin will be appointed as the Zuo Taiwei is almost unfounded. It is not easy for Wei Gong to acquire the Yue Kingdom, so he will naturally cherish it more. And the descendants of Wei Gong have outstanding people, and the great prosperity of the Wei family in the Yue Kingdom is just around the corner.
, and Wei State and Wei Gong had old grievances, and in order to gain recognition from Daxia, they had to forge new enemies with Chu State, so growth must be accompanied by war." Sun Zan analyzed.
After hearing this, Lin Haoming nodded silently and asked: "As far as I know, Brother Sun, you have been in Huanglang Mountain for many years. Even if you have General Liu to assist you, you don't seem to be outstanding in military affairs. When you went south with 800 cavalry, you didn't do it at your peak."
Less than three thousand troops."
Hearing Lin Haoming call him brother, Sun Zan felt relieved. A smile appeared on his already dark face and said: "Master Lin is absolutely right. Sun really doesn't know how to fight. Because of this,
There were 800 cavalry back then, but now there are less than 200 with me, so Sun's talent is not above the art of war. After the Yue Kingdom reformed, the Taiwei led the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I have dealt with the Chu Kingdom for many years, and my mother
I was the daughter of a Duke of Wei back then, and these were my capital for handling foreign affairs."
"Your Duke..."
"Haha, the Yue Kingdom has changed hands. The former Duke has become a burden, and I can give up on my own." Sun Zan said with certainty.
"Are you willing to give up on your own?" Lin Haoming looked at him and said.
"Yes, if I give up voluntarily, it will be equivalent to setting an example, then..."
Lin Haoming waved his hands before he could finish his words this time and said: "That's not right. You are coercing those guys and roasting them on the fire. It would be great if the country of Yue was completely stable, but unfortunately it is not completely stable now. You
If you have to deal with foreign affairs, I will consider it. You can feel aggrieved for a few days."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin." Sun Zan seemed to have gotten what he wanted and did not continue.
