Hearing Yang Ling's words, not to mention Ma Teng and other Liangzhou officials, even his own cronies such as Gan Ning and Zhou Cang looked somewhat disapproving.
After all, Jiang Ji's son is only seven years old.
No matter how smart you are, how smart can you be?
It's just Jiang Jiong doing it to put some money on his face!
But after all, Yang Ling was the general who commanded the northwest of the Han Dynasty to conquer the west. Everyone said nothing and just asked Jiang Ji to pick up Jiang Wei.
Noticing everyone's expressions, Yang Ling just smiled and said nothing.
After a while, Jiang Ji left and came back, with a young boy with a delicate face following behind him.
"Jiang Wei, please meet the envoys soon."
Yang Ling, Ma Teng and others sitting in the hall were either generals of the imperial court or governors of a state.
But Jiang Wei's face was calm, not at all embarrassed.
He walked forward slowly and bowed respectfully to everyone.
"Jiang Wei pays homage to the envoys!"
Initially, everyone was not very interested in Jiang Wei, but seeing how calm and polite he was at such a young age, they couldn't help but nod slightly with admiration in their eyes.
"Are you Jiang Wei?"
Yang Ling looked at him carefully and then smiled and said,
"I heard from your father that you came up with the plan to ambush the rebels?"
Jiang Wei thought for a while and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked,
"I wonder if the general wants to hear the truth or a lie?"
When he asked this question, Yang Ling became interested.
"how do I say this?"
"If the boy tells the truth, I'm afraid the general and the envoys won't believe it, and will think that the boy is deceiving you."
Jiang Wei replied.
Yang Ling couldn't help but feel happy,
"It's okay, just tell the truth."
"good!"
Jiang Wei saluted again,
"As the general said, the plan to ambush the rebels was indeed the boy's idea."
"You are just a child with a dirty mouth, how could you think of this?"
Ma Teng couldn't help but question.
"Reporting to the governor, our Jiang clan in Hanyang has a collection of thousands of books. In my spare time, I like to read military books. As time goes by, I will understand a little bit about military affairs."
"As for the situation of the rebels, my father told me."
Jiang Wei said neither humble nor arrogant.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Ji and Jiang Xu subconsciously.
"He is right. Our clan does have a lot of books."
Jiang Xu nodded.
The Jiang surname is a common surname in Liangzhou, and the Tianshui (Hanyang) clan is the most prominent.
It is not surprising that the clan has thousands of volumes of books.
"The lower official saw that Quanzi was very interested in military affairs, so he would tell him about the general situation of the world from time to time."
Jiang Ji said.
When they said this, it seemed that Jiang Wei's statement had no flaws.
But everyone still didn't believe it.
Seven-year-old children in other families are still learning to read and write and are in the enlightenment stage. At the age of seven, you started to read the art of war in your clan?
This is really outrageous. Open the door to outrageousness. It’s so outrageous!
Seeing this situation, Jiang Wei said calmly,
"If you envoys don't believe me, why don't you give me a test?"
"Okay, I'll do it!"
However, Zhao Yun, who had always been low-key, stood up first.
He pondered for a moment and then began to test Jiang Wei on the content of "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
After so many years, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is now well known in the Han Dynasty.
The first art of war that any general who marches and fights comes into contact with is almost always Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Facing Zhao Yun's examination, Jiang Wei answered fluently and also expressed his own opinions.
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but marvel.
Although Jiang Wei's views are still a bit young, considering his age, they are already rare.
After Zhao Yun finished the exam, everyone's suspicion of Jiang Wei had disappeared, and they turned to appreciation and admiration for Yang Ling!
Previously, they thought Yang Ling was making a fuss out of a molehill, but now it seemed that he was so wise.
If he hadn't insisted on meeting Jiang Wei, they would have missed this talented young man!
"Brother, I have a heartfelt request!"
Zhao Yun suddenly spoke.
"Zilong just says so."
Yang Ling smiled.
"I want to accept this young man as my apprentice, what do you think, brother?"
After the discussion just now, Jiang Wei had impressed Zhao Yun, and he immediately had the idea of accepting him as his disciple and teaching him all he had learned throughout his life!
Jiang Xu and Jiang Jiu on the side were both a little excited when they heard this.
What is Zhao Yun's identity?
Yang Ling's sworn brother, a senior military commander in the imperial court, with extremely superb martial arts skills.
Back then, he and Dian Wei worked together to defeat Lu Bu.
If Jiang Wei can worship him as his teacher, he will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future, and the Jiang family will also be able to achieve great success!
But after hearing this, Yang Ling shook his head.
"inappropriate."
Everyone was stunned.
Yang Ling actually disagreed?
"Brother, why is this?"
Zhao Yun was a little confused.
He didn't expect that Yang Ling, who had always taken good care of him, would refuse such a small request.
Jiang Ji and Jiang Xu couldn't help but show disappointment.
Yang Ling laughed,
"Because I plan to take him as a student myself!"
Yang Ling was naturally unwilling to give up a talented person like Jiang Wei to others, so of course he had to accept it himself.
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be moved by it!
You know, Yang Ling is the son-in-law of Wei Gong Cao Cao, the imperial general who conquers the west, and has a high position of power.
Not only was he resourceful and resourceful, he helped Cao Cao defeat Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and other princes. It was also rumored that his martial arts skills were so terrifying that even Lu Bu died in his hands!
Such a heroic figure actually wants to accept Jiang Wei as his student? !
"Why are you father and son still standing there in a daze? Why don't you quickly thank the general?"
Jiang Xu was the first to react and quickly reminded him.
"Yes, yes, thank you General for your appreciation!"
Jiang Jiong suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, pulled his son Jiang Wei, and asked him to salute Yang Ling.
Although Jiang Wei was young and mature, he was still a little confused when he was accepted as a student by Yang Ling for no reason.
However, he still followed Jiang Ji's wishes and bowed to Yang Ling honestly.
"Student Jiang Wei, meet the teacher!"
"very good!"
Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction and smiled at the depressed Zhao Yun beside him,
"Don't be disappointed Zilong, it's up to you to teach him martial arts in the future."
"Jiang Gongcao, you really gave birth to a good son."
Ma Teng changed his previous indifference towards Jiang Ji and said with a smile.
"Yes, Jiang Gongcao, since we are colleagues, we will definitely move around frequently in the future."
"If you need help with anything, just ask."
"Yes, we are all our own people."
The other officials in Liangzhou were also talking nonsense.
Jiang Ji, who originally had the lowest official position in the hall, suddenly became the center of attention, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Jiang Ji quickly thanked everyone.
He knew very well that the reason why this happened was all thanks to Yang Ling!
