It was different from what Jia Rong thought. In his time, people everywhere called themselves brothers, which seemed cordial; but the most important thing for the ancients was brotherhood. As the saying goes, "Brothers are like brothers and sisters, and women are like clothes!"
The three of them, Liu Guan and Zhang, were sworn brothers in Taoyuan, sharing life and death, and their reputations will last forever. Of course, the three of them have not yet become sworn brothers. At this time, the brothers were all bound by fate.
When he heard that Jia Rong said that he and he would be brothers from now on, Guo Bang thought about it for a long time before agreeing. Guo Bang said: "I am twenty-five years old and I am from Zhangye County."
Jia Rong also reported his family name and said: "I am twenty-three this year. I am from Lijia Village, Hechi County, Wuwei County. Brother Guo is older than me. From now on, you can just call me brother."
Guo Bang patted Jia Rong's shoulder affectionately and said: "Second brother, if you have anything to do in the future, please come to me. I will do my best to help you."
In fact, from Guo Si's words and performance, Jia Rong knew that Guo Si had misunderstood what he meant. He just casually said something about being worthy of brothers. This was very normal in his time and was a way to bring people closer together;
But seeing Guo Si being so serious, Jia Rong did not refuse. Guo Si was already very talented, and when Jia Rong was under him, he also took good care of Jia Rong. Maybe it would be a good thing to become brothers.
Jia Rong said gratefully: "Thank you very much, brother!"
Guo Bang pretended to be angry and said: "You and I are already brothers, why are you so polite?"
Jia Rongnuonuo said yes.
What next made Jia Rong stunned was that Guo Bang found a jar of wine and three sticks of incense from nowhere.
He lit three sticks of incense, poured out two large bowls of wine, and placed them neatly on the table.
Guo Si pulled Jia Rong to kneel in front of the case and said solemnly: "I, Guo Si, would like to become brothers with Jia Rong today. We will share blessings and hardships together. If you violate this oath, you will not die a good death!"
Jia Rong also said in a dignified manner: "I, Jia Rong, today would like to become brothers with Guo Bin. We will share blessings and share hardships. If you violate this oath, you will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die!"
After finishing speaking, the two drank all the wine on the table.
The process of sworn friendship was very simple, and Jia Rong did not expect that his words would give him an extra big brother.
After the sworn alliance, the relationship between Jia Rong and Guo Si became much closer; Jia Rong asked Guo Si a lot of questions that should be paid attention to when training soldiers, and told Guo Si that he was training cavalry. Guo Si listened one by one
Answered, and said that he would definitely guide Jia Rong in training soldiers.
Jia Rong was overjoyed. He was naturally eager to receive Guo Bang's guidance. After such a period of time, Jia Rong also learned about the situation of Dong Zhuo's other five soldiers.
The other five groups were a cavalry unit led by Hua Xiong, numbering more than 2,000 people; a cavalry unit led by Guo Si, numbering more than 2,000 people; an infantry unit led by Niu Jin, numbering more than 3,000 people;
The infantry unit led by Ji has more than 3,000 people; the remaining unit is Dong Zhuo's personal troops, led by Dong Zhuo himself, all of them are cavalry, with more than 3,000 people, all of whom are elites in the army.
Guo Si has always been the leader of the cavalry unit. He must have a lot of experience in cavalry training and combat on the battlefield. If you can get his guidance, the cavalry you train will make rapid progress.
At this time, Jia Rong suddenly thought of something, so he asked Guo Bang for advice: "Why don't you know that there is a Lord Li in the army, who is the middle-aged scribe who was with Dong Zhuo before?"
After hearing this, Guo Si hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Is he looking for something to do with you?"
Listening to Guo Si's words full of anxiety, Jia Rong hurriedly replied: "He came to me and tested me repeatedly; but after I showed that I was loyal to General Dong, he didn't press any more questions.
,Brother, who is he?"
After hearing what Jia Rong said, Guo Bang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This man cannot be offended. His name is Li Ru. He is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. He has won Dong Zhuo's trust and reuse. This man is very talented and has great military skills."
All the affairs in the army were handled by him with all his heart; but he was a ruthless person, and you never knew when you would be seduced by him. In the past, many people who had some words against General Dong were quietly dealt with by him behind his back.
, Second brother, please be careful in the future."
Li Ru? Jia Rong's heart felt cold. He was a famous counselor. Li Ru's life was inseparable from Dong Zhuo. He was also the first counselor to appear in the Three Kingdoms. He was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. He served Dong Zhuo wholeheartedly and created
Dong Zhuo era.
Dong Zhuo's achievements are inseparable from Li Ru's. Li Ru was a vicious man. Dong Zhuo took advantage of the chaos and went to Beijing to persuade Lu Bu to surrender, deposed the emperor, and moved the capital to Chang'an. All these actions were inseparable from Li Ru's advice. The young emperor was
He suggested that Dong Zhuo be poisoned to death, and then supported King Chenliu, the youngest son of Emperor Ling, to ascend the throne, sweeping away the last majesty of the Han Dynasty royal family and making the crumbling Eastern Han Dynasty even worse.
Unexpectedly, he had already dealt with him without realizing it. Jia Rong was secretly glad that he didn't say anything wrong, otherwise he would have been in big trouble.
Hearing the caring meaning in Guo Si's words, Jia Rong felt warm in his heart and said: "Brother, please don't worry, little brother, please keep this in mind."
With Guo Bang's help, Jia Rong's training of cavalry went much more smoothly. Guo Bang taught Jia Rong many skills in leading cavalry, as well as what measures to take in the face of various emergencies on the battlefield; Guo Bang
He told Jia Rong everything he knew, and he would try his best to answer Jia Rong's questions whenever he didn't understand.
During this period of time, Jia Rong participated in the cavalry training every time and practiced very seriously. However, Jia Rong found a problem, that is, it was difficult for him to make slashing movements with his sword on horseback. Among the Qiang cavalry,
Therefore, being able to perform those actions on horses is inseparable from their dealing with horses since childhood. They all grew up on horses, and each soldier's riding skills are very superb.
Jia Rong also saw Guo Bang's help and remembered it in his heart. He made a mistake and recognized a good brother. Guo Bang treated him like this, so of course he also trusted Guo Bang.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and it has been more than two months since I arrived in Gaoping County.
Today, Dong Zhuo sent someone to notify the soldiers early in the morning that they would not need to train today. The three armies set up a ceremony to welcome the angel together.
Jia Rong, Guo Si and other five generals, as well as Dong Zhuo's confidants, followed Dong Zhuo in front of the camp gate to wait for the arrival of the angel.
During this period, Jia Rong asked Guo Bang in a low voice what an angel was. After Guo Bang's explanation, Jia Rong understood that angels were messengers sent by the emperor, and people in the Han Dynasty called them angels.
A soldier galloped over on his horse, came to the camp gate, dismounted, saluted Dong Zhuo and said, "General, the angel is still five miles away from the camp." Then the army started playing music, and half an hour later,
A group of people appeared in Jia Rong's eyes. They were holding yellow flags, and a carriage was slowly approaching the camp gate accompanied by more than a hundred soldiers.
As they approached the gate of the camp, a fair-looking man on a tall horse came out of the team and said to Jia Rong and his party in a high-pitched voice: "Which of you is Captain Dong? Come out quickly to receive the order."
.”
Dong Zhuo hurriedly knelt down and said: "I, Dong Zhuo, the captain of Wuji School in the Western Regions, accepted the order."
When the generals and soldiers of the three armies saw that Dong Zhuo had knelt down, they all hurriedly knelt down as well.
The man with the shrill voice just now returned to the team and whispered beside the carriage: "Reporting to the angel, Lieutenant Dong is already waiting for the imperial edict in front of the camp gate."
After a while, a voice that was even shriller than before reached Jia Rong's ears: "By God, the emperor decreed that Dong Zhuo, the captain of the Wuji School in the Western Regions, has made outstanding achievements in killing the rebellious Qiang people. I am determined to appoint Dong Zhuo as the commander-in-chief."
The governor of Bingzhou will take office soon. I express my gratitude to you!"
After the imperial edict was promulgated, Dong Zhuo responded respectfully: "My lord, Dong Zhuo, thanks you for your kindness. Long live my emperor!"
After Dong Zhuo stood up, the angel with a shrill voice came forward in person, handed the imperial edict into Dong Zhuo's hands, and congratulated him at the same time: "I am so happy that Mr. Dong has been promoted to the governor of Bingzhou!"
Having been in the officialdom for many years, Dong Zhuo naturally understood that after the angel arrived and announced the imperial edict, he must mean it. Otherwise, the angel would be unhappy and return to the emperor, muttering something unpleasant to him, and he would be in big trouble.
Dong Zhuo enthusiastically welcomed the angel into the military camp, turned around and told Jia Rong: "Have a good time making arrangements for the entourage brought by the angel, let them eat, drink and enjoy themselves!"
After Dong Zhuo left, Jia Rong brought the entourage brought by the angel to the military camp, and ordered the messengers to ask the kitchen to bring all the delicious food. The most important thing now is to serve these men brought by the angel.
The entourage brought by the angel was also very satisfied with the meal and enjoyed it very much.
After they had had enough wine and food, the soldiers began to brag about which prefect or governor served the best food on the way, and they argued with each other.
Before the angel arrived, the man with a shrill voice who came to the camp gate to ask questions also came to Jia Rong's side and chatted with Jia Rong.
After the chat, Jia Rong learned that the man with the shrill voice was a young eunuch in the palace. This time he followed the angel out of the palace to announce the imperial edict. The name of the eunuch who announced the edict today was Zuo Feng. According to the young eunuch
, Zuo Feng was very popular in the palace, otherwise he would not be able to do such a good job as delivering orders.
Why is it said that delivering edicts is a good job? There is something special about this. The eunuchs who deliver edicts basically eat wherever they go, and they are all treated to delicious food and drinks. No one wants to offend the people around the emperor, so
Wherever he goes, he is treated like a master; after the edict is delivered, the person who receives the edict will definitely present a lot of gold and silver treasures. Everyone in the officialdom understands this rule.
The banquet ended at noon. Jia Rong saw Angel Zuo Feng directing the soldiers to load several wooden boxes onto the carriage before leaving.
The new week has begun, and Duanya is asking all brothers and sisters to give you red tickets and collect them! Everyone was very helpful last week. Duanya sees it in his eyes and will keep it in his heart. He will definitely update on time to repay everyone!
