The young man in the wheelchair was none other than one of the representatives of the Military School, Sun Bin, the descendant of the War Sage Sun Wu.
Which generation Sun Bin was Sun Wu's descendant was not available in the historical records. The two of them appeared in the wilderness at the same time. In order not to appear out of place, Gaia had specially arranged for them to be grandfather-grandson.
When he heard that his grandfather, Sun Wu, had settled down in Shanhai City, Sun Bin did not visit him immediately. Instead, he traveled outside and only rushed to Shanhai City on New Year's Eve to pay his respects to his grandfather.
The old man accompanying them was the Divine Doctor Bian Que from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.
Bian Que calling himself a traveling doctor was not without reason. He did not intend to stay in one city or one place. Throughout history, Bian Que and his disciples had traveled more than four thousand miles and traveled to various countries, adapting to the customs.
Under the guidance of the city guards, Sun Bin successfully met his grandfather, Sun Wu.
The grandfather and grandson had crossed time and space to meet, it must have made people sigh with emotion.
Seeing that the young man was indeed Sun Wu's grand-disciple, the guard did not dare to be negligent and quietly retreated.
After leaving, the guards did not return to the city gates. Instead, they went to the Marquis' Manor to report the news of Sun Bin's arrival to the Marquis' Manor.
When the steward got the news, he was about to report it to the Marquis, but he was stopped by the secretary at the door.
"The Marquis has ordered that we are not to disturb him unless it's something important."
The steward understood and reported the news to the clerk. As for how the clerk would deal with it, whether he would report it to the Marquis or not, it was none of his business and he didn't need to take responsibility.
After hearing this, the clerk waved his hand and signaled the steward to leave. He thought for a moment and decided to inform the Marquis after he came out of the study.
After all, Sun Bin was definitely going to spend the New Year in Shanhai City, so there was no need to rush.
Otherwise, if the Marquis' train of thought was interrupted, he would be in deep trouble.
The Marquis of Lian Province's Manor had yet to establish a specialized organization responsible for gathering news and intelligence inside and outside the territory. Thus, they could only send messages to the Marquis's Mansion through servants, guards, and other people.
As for the Military Intelligence Department, they were only in charge of investigating military intelligence and would never dare to overstep the rules.
Sun Wu's residence.
Sun Wu's residence was not located in the Official Residence District. Instead, it was built inside the Army Lecture Hall.
When the grandfather and grandson met, Sun Bin introduced Bian Que to his grandfather.
"Grandfather, this is Divine Doctor Bian Que, whom I met on my way here. Thank you for taking care of me along the way! "
Hearing this, Sun Wu immediately bowed to Bian Que, "Thank you, sir!"
How could Bian Que dare to accept it? He dodged to the side and said, "This old man came here to travel, so how can I take care of you?"
Sun Wu nodded and said with a smile, "Old mister, you must have gained something by coming to Shanhai City!"
"What do you mean?" Bian Que's eyes lit up.
"Old mister, have you heard of the library?"
"I'm here because of your reputation. I heard that there are ancient and modern books in the building. I wonder if it's true? "
"It's absolutely true! The medical works of all dynasties and generations are all available in the library. "
Bian Que was overjoyed and said with a smile, "This trip was not in vain!"
"Not only that, Shanhai City has an official medical center. Not only do they have ancient medical skills, but they also have medical skills brought by the Mutants. Among them, there's a surgical skill that's so amazing that even I can't help but gasp in admiration."
Bian Que was delighted when he heard that.
"I can't wait any longer!"
Sun Wu laughed heartily. He was able to understand this as he had been the same back then. With a wave of his hand, Sun Wu summoned a servant and ordered, "Bring this old mister to the library!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Bian Que understood and stood up to follow the servant.
Firstly, he was indeed eager to learn and wanted to read the famous medical books in the Repository Building. Secondly, Bian Que also understood that Sun Wu, grandfather and grandson, meeting each other must have something private to talk about. It was very inconvenient for him to be on the side.
After sending Bian Que away, the grandfather and grandson felt much more relaxed.
Looking at Sun Bin's crippled legs, a trace of pity flashed in Sun Wu's eyes.
Sun Bin was sharp and sharp. He smiled and said, "Grandfather, there's no need for this. Even if I'm crippled, I can still command an army and win a battle from a thousand miles away." There was a sense of heroism and ambition in his words.
Sun Wu nodded and said unwillingly, "Even the divine doctor, Bian Que, can't do anything about this?"
Sun Bin shook his head sadly.
Seeing this, Sun Wu no longer brought up this heavy topic and said with a smile, "Grandson, I've read the 'Art of War' that you wrote. I'm very pleased."
"Grandfather, you praise me too much!"
"Good is good. There's no need to be modest in front of grandfather." Sun Wu waved his hand and changed the topic, "However, grandson, you can't be proud of this. Grandfather has been reading the military books of the past and learned a lot. Although the military books that you and I wrote are strategic, there are still many limitations and inadequacies. "
"Grandfather, you're right!" Sun Bin sat in his wheelchair and bowed with his hands clasped in front, saying, "Grandson has come this time to accompany grandfather and concentrate on learning the art of war."
Sun Wu shook his head and pointed at Sun Bin with a smile, "You don't need to hide it in front of grandfather. Grandfather can feel that you still want to go to the battlefield, and it's only because of grandfather that you're doing this, right? "
"Grandfather, you have a good eye." Sun Bin was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't dare to hide it from grandfather. Grandson does want to use what I've learned in the army so that I won't waste my life."
Sun Wu nodded and said, "Grandfather chose to live in seclusion because he's old and doesn't want to suffer anymore. Even so, he was moved by Marquis Lianzhou's suggestion and came out to preside over the military lecture hall. Grandson, you're still young, so you don't need to concentrate on learning like grandfather. A good man should gallop on the battlefield. "
"Is Marquis Lianzhou really that powerful to be able to convince grandfather?"
Sun Bin was a little surprised. He had never met this lord before, but he was quite famous in the circle. He actually had a trace of anticipation and an indescribable excitement.
Sun Wu nodded and recalled the Marquis's visit yesterday. He sighed and said, "Shanhai City has a solid foundation and is unparalleled in the world. Marquis Lianzhou is talented and bold, and he's also courteous to the wise. What's rarer is that he's able to fully delegate authority and trust his generals. Take the recently concluded battle of Lianzhou Province as an example. I'll give full authority to the Supreme General Bai Qi. "
Sun Bin became even more excited when he heard that.
In Sun Bin's Art of War, he had written that generals must be loyal to the monarch. The monarch shouldn't interfere with the generals' military affairs, and the generals must have independent military command.
Marquis Lianzhou's actions were exactly what Sun Bin believed in.
Seeing Sun Bin's expression, Sun Wu had no choice but to remind him. He said, "Grandson, since you've made up your mind, I have to remind you. Not only are there peerless generals like Bai Qi in Shanhai City's army, but there are also Shi Wansui, E Lai, Luo Shixin, Mu Guiying, and other generals. All of them are excellent candidates. You must not be arrogant because of your talent. It's not easy to gain a foothold in the army. "
After hearing that, Sun Bin said with a solemn expression, "Don't worry, grandfather. I know what I'm doing!"
After talking about important matters, the grandfather and grandson began to chat.
As for Divine Physician Bian Que, he only returned to his residence in the evening after being reminded by the servants. The countless medical classics in the library fascinated the Divine Physician and made him want to burn the midnight oil.
Ouyang Shuo also stayed in the study for the whole day.
Even his lunch was sent directly to the study by Zi Su, and he ate it in a hurry.
When he walked out of the study, the Clerk immediately came up to him.
On this day, the Clerk was not doing nothing. He had already investigated Sun Bin and Bian Que's identities through the servants in Sun Wu's residence.
"Reporting to the Marquis, two guests came to our territory this morning. One is Divine Physician Bian Que, and the other is the grandson of War Sage Sun Wu, Sun Bin. "The Clerk was concise.
Ouyang Shuo raised his eyebrows when he heard that.
In fact, ever since Sun Wu settled in Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo had been looking forward to Sun Bin's arrival.
This wait went on for more than two months. It was really a long wait.
Ouyang Shuo had admired Sun Bin for a long time. Although he did not have many famous battles, every one of them was enough to change the direction of history. Although he was not famous, he was a famous general who wrote books about him.
In other words, Sun Bin had surpassed the category of a talented general and should be classified as a talented commander or a strategist, similar to Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, and Guo Jia.
As for Divine Physician Bian Que, it was purely a pleasant surprise.
Of course, it was normal for the Library's reputation to attract people from the Hundred Clans. Those who came to Shanhai City might not necessarily stay there permanently.
Ouyang Shuo said to the Clerk, "Send someone to inform the War Sage Mansion that I will personally pay a visit to the two distinguished guests tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded and went to the back hall.
The night passed uneventfully.
Gaia Year 2, 20th of February, Shanhai City.
Tonight was New Year's Eve.
Shanhai City was decorated with lanterns and streamers. It was a festive atmosphere.
Under the command of Zi Su, the servants of the Marquis's Mansion began to get busy. Some were in charge of sweeping the courtyard, while others were in charge of hanging lanterns, New Year paintings, and Peach Blossom Talismans.
The kitchen was even busier. Early in the morning, the kitchen maids began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. The Marquis had already said that there would be a banquet at the Marquis's Mansion on New Year's Eve.
The square in front of the Marquis's Mansion was equally lively. A huge stage had risen from the ground.
At night, the troupe of the opera house would appear on the stage to share the joy with the people.
At that time, not only the important officials who attended the banquet, even the common people could come to watch the show.
Ouyang Shuo went out with his four guards following from afar.
He arrived at the military lecture hall that was about to be completed. Ouyang Shuo was not in the mood for sightseeing and went straight to Sun Wu's Mansion.
After receiving the news last night, the War Sage Mansion was ready to receive him.
Even Bian Que had to put aside his desire for medical books and stay in the mansion to wait for Ouyang Shuo's visit. With Ouyang Shuo's current status, it would not be excessive to directly summon the two to the Marquis's Mansion.
Personally paying a visit was already giving the two extremely high treatment.
Of course, Sun Wu's influence also played a role in this.
Since ancient times, doctors did not have a high status. It was very normal for them to be summoned by those in power. As a modern person, Ouyang Shuo naturally would not be discriminated against.
He treated both Sun Bin and Bian Que equally. (To be continued.)
