Chapter 2 The birth of a slave 3

After wandering in the market for several years, after the introduction of the villagers, I joined the Beifu Army in Jingkou.

Although the Beifu Army is the most powerful army in the Jin Dynasty, the soldiers stationed in the base camp in Jingkou for many years actually do not have much military affairs. Every day is done step by step, and life is also very comfortable.

Of course, the original purpose of my joining the army was to relieve the difficulties of life. When I finally got out of this dilemma, I began to expect to make progress in the army. Such progress is not limited to raising military pay and relying on military merit to improve the respect of the neighbors. Such progress has always been integrated with the ideals of my youth - countless ancestors fought for the glory of the world with bare hands. Why can't I?

Maybe it's because I work harder and harder than ordinary people. Over time, I have gradually been appreciated by my colleagues, especially General Sun Wuji. Like Liu Laozhi, Sun Wuzhong is also the main general of the Beifu Army.

As a subordinate army, Cao Neng was noticed by the general by accident, but it was inevitable that he gradually promoted me.

Sun Wu finally thought that in troubled times, it was the time for people like me to defect, so when he was promoted to the champion general, he asked to appoint me as Sima as his deputy general.

Sun Wuyu is a simple person like most soldiers in Beifu. He only wants to make contributions and do his best for the court. Although he holds military power, he is unwilling to become a prince on the divided side.

However, on the other hand, Sun Wujun is actually a useless general. As he gets older, his enterprising spirit is far less than when he was young. His mentality naturally restricts my position. Although I have joined the army for so many years, I have not experienced the war and have not made any achievements so far. Although the military position is Sima, which is second only to the general, it is just to assist the general in reorganization of military affairs, and you can't talk about the deployment of the army.

One day, Sun Wu finally talked to me.

"You know about the rebellion of the demon thief Sun En in the south, haven't you?" Although Sun Wuzhong is not a native of Jingkou, he often calls my nickname in private like my fellow villagers in Jingkou in the army. I don't care about this, but I feel a little intimacy.

"Although I haven't seen the war report, I have heard someone in the army say it before." I answered.

"The first county attacked by Sun En's thieves is Huiji (Note 2). I didn't expect Shuping to be killed. Sun Wu finally said with Qi Rong's face.

The uncle Ping mentioned by Sun Zhong is Wang Ningzhi. He is the internal history of Huiji County. The so-called internal history is actually Taishou. After the Great Jin state, the name of the eunuch in the prince's fief was changed to an internal history to show the difference from the county eunuch directly under the state.

Wang Ningzhi's father is Wang Xizhi, who was once the governor of Jiangzhou and a right general. Wang Ningzhi is as good at calligraphy as his father and brothers. Wang is proficient not only in calligraphy, but also in the "Five Bucket Rice Road", which is now Tianshi Tao. Among them, Wang Ningzhi is especially.

Now the fact that Wang Ningzhi was killed after Sun En broke through the meeting has surprised everyone.

People are surprised not by the death of Wang Suspensity, but why Wang Ningzhi died. Wang Ningzhi is an official of the State of Jin, and Sun En is a traitor of the State of Jin. The thief's killing of officials seems reasonable, but it is not sentimental. Because Sun En is the leader of Tianshi Taoism, and Wang Ningzhi is the family of Tianshi Taoism. Even if Wang Ningzhi is not a believer of Sun En, at least he is his fellow. Sun En conquers the world with doctrine. Naturally, it should be the same party and not the same family.

In this way, Sun En's thief soldiers killed not only the officials and generals and innocent people of the State of Jin, but also the believers who are not disciplined.

According to Sun Wucheng, Sun En came to the sea and captured several cities and fortresses along the east coast of Yongdong. The soldiers guarding Huiji County advised Wang Ningzhi to prepare for the enemy, but Wang Ningzhi ignored it. He placed incense to worship God in the Taoist room of his practice.

After inviting the gods, he said confidently to the generals, "Don't be busy. I have honored the gods, and I have invited the heavenly soldiers and generals. The gods and immortals will guard their own entrances and will not let the thief enter our territory one by one. With God's help, the thief and soldiers will definitely flee.

After Sun En attacked Huiji and surrounded the three floors outside the city, Wang Ningzhi realized that the divine soldiers would not come. He hurriedly led his troops to meet him, but was defeated in the first battle and fled back to the city. After the city was destroyed, he was captured and killed by thieves.

I haven't seen this Wang Ningzhi, and I don't know what the relationship Sun Wujian has between him. I just feel that since this person is not prepared for war, he is defeated and sacrificed from punishment from the court, which is already the best ending. Seeing Sun Wuji's sad expression, I haven't said anything.

After Sun Wu finally calmed down, he said to me, "The court has issued an order to send General Wei and General Fuguo to suppress Sun En. I don't know what you think?"

I don't understand what this "what to think" means, and said tentatively, "If General Sun is also ordered to be a thief, I will do my best to help."

"Sun En's thief is just encroaching on coastal defense. It's enough to send an ordinary general to conquer and suppress it. Unexpectedly, the court sent two generals, Xie Yan and Liu Prison at the same time. Sun Wu finally said slowly.

"Do you mean that the court intends to send these two people away from Jiankang and Guangling?" I still don't understand what Sun Wuyu means, so I have to guess. In my opinion, it was his immediate superior Xie Yan and Liu Laozhi, who were slightly stronger than him, who restricted Sun Wu's career.

"Oh?" Sun Wu finally listened to my words, answered, and bowed his head and meditated.

As Sun Wuchang often told me before, today's Beifu is no longer the Beifu of that year. At that time, Beifu was entrusted with the responsibility of defending the country, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and recovering the land, while today's Beifu has become a tool used by various political forces. Xie Xuan himself, who founded the Beifu Army, was eventually transferred from the army and died in the history of Huiji.

So what I said seemed to make Sun Wu finally think of a deeper meaning, and he had to think about the causal relationship.

After a long time, Sun Wu finally raised his head and said to me, "Don't consider these. Liu prison sent a letter, and he wanted to invite you to join the army. I don't know what you think?" After saying that, he showed me Liu Laozhi's letter.

It turned out that the "what to think" just now was not to ask me how to fight, but to ask if I was willing to go to Liu prison's account.

This is good news for me. Although the generals of the Beifu Army have become generals of the State of Jin in the future, only a few people such as Liu Prison have been on the battlefield to face the enemy in a high position. Most of the generals in Beifu have really "stayed". Their children and grandchildren are full, and they can no longer stand the horns and the wind and frost. However, Liu Laozhi is still the tiger waiting for the enemy by the water.

(Chapter Note:

Note 1 - chupu: chanting chūpú is a gambling method in ancient times. It's similar to the current throwing color. The color is six sides, while the Pu has only two sides, black and white. The winner is who throws the black one. It was very popular in the Han, Wei and Jin dynasties. The specific way of playing the game has been lost.

Note 2 - Huiji. Now Shaoxing, Zhejiang. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it was the capital of Vietnam and has been an important town in East China since then.

Note 3-Yongdong. It is the current Zhoushan Islands.
