"What is the purpose of the pavilion chief doing this?"
By the Gan River, Peng Li Zebian, Hei Fu, Zhao Tuo, and Wu Rui had just finished drinking chicken blood wine and worshiping each other as brothers. Dongmen Bao looked a little unhappy. But he still held back and waited until he returned to several troops.
Behind the official's tent, seeing that only Li Xian and Ji Ying were there, he couldn't help but start to complain.
The Yue people like to worship each other as brothers after forming an alliance to show mutual trust. This is the custom of the Yue people. In order to win the trust of Qian Yue, it is understandable that Heifu becomes a brother with Wu Rui, but adding Zhao Tuo makes Dongmen Bao feel strange.
weird.
Among the first few people who followed Heifu, they still affectionately called him "Tingzhang" in private. This was a privilege that only direct descendants had.
But now, Dongmen Leopard feels that this honor that belongs exclusively to them has been squeezed in by an outsider like Zhao Tuo to share it.
So he was a little annoyed and unhappy, and Ji Ying also echoed his words.
Li Xian, who was on the side, was thoughtful and suddenly said: "What if not? You still think that the pavilion chief wants to become a brother with one of us?"
Dongmen Leopard and Ji Ying looked at each other and didn't even dare to say anything.
Ji Ying recalled that when he and Hei Fu first met, they were indeed called "Hei Fu Brothers". Even though Hei Fu became the chief of the pavilion, the chief of the village, and his boss, Ji Ying relied on his two brothers.
We are the first to know each other and still call him by his first name.
The same goes for Dongmen Leopard. He didn't regard Hei Fu as his boss until he was rescued by Hei Fu in the Battle of Waihuang.
Although Li Xian regarded Heifu as an official, it was because he was related to Heifu. Deep in his heart, he even secretly complained that he was implicated by Heifu and suffered revenge from Zuo Wei Yunman.
But all this changed after Heifu became Li You's personal guard general.
At the Battle of Linyang, Heifu risked his life and went out of the city to pretend to surrender. He encouraged the soldiers, shouted "I will take you home", and commanded everyone to fight back in desperate situations to win. From that time on, Heifu's position in the hearts of the three people was completely established.
.
Several people who called themselves brothers transformed into the Anlu Township Party Group with Heifu as the sole core. Heifu went to Jiangling to take up a post, but the group did not break up. Instead, it planned to overthrow Yun Man and kill the common enemy, and became closer and closer. Subsequently, Shou
Inspired by Heifu's ambition to become a marquis, the group found a goal to continue striving for.
From that time on, Hei Fu was like the moon, and they were like stars. After Hei Fu was received by the King of Qin and awarded the title of the Five Great Officials, Hei Fu was already a blazing sun to everyone.
A few people knew in their hearts that the stars were only worthy of serving as a foil to the sun, so how could they dare to shine with them? They already considered themselves in the position of subordinates and did not dare to be disrespectful to Hei Fu.
Therefore, Dongmen Bao and Ji Ying were not angry because Hei Fu did not give this honor to themselves, but they were dissatisfied because Zhao Tuo, an outsider, was suddenly valued by Hei Fu.
Every group is naturally exclusive.
At this time, Gong Ao also opened the tent and went inside, and answered: "If you ask me, Zhao Tuo is just a small owner of five hundred buildings and boats. He is comparable to A Bao, Li Xian, and Xiao Tao, and is comparable to Brother Sima. He is also
match?"
Although Gong Ao joined later, he lived and died together with Dongmen Leopard. Ji Ying regarded him as one of his own and responded: "However, Zhao Tuo is so virtuous and capable!"
Li Xian had his own opinions, and Hei Fu often asked him for advice, so Li Xian knew that Hei Sima was a man with a purpose, and he must have had his purpose in treating Zhao Tuo so politely." Sima naturally had his reasons for doing this.
We have absolutely no doubts about it. Besides, when has Sima ever treated anyone wrong? During the expedition, he tried his best to save our lives. After returning to Nanjun, he placed us in suitable positions. This time he conquered Chu.
Gold, silver, money, and silk are also part of our share. The second and third sons are able to be where they are today, with high lordships, fertile land, and rich family wealth. Is it possible that they all rely on their own abilities? It’s all thanks to Sima Zhizhi!”
Li Xian had correctly spotted that, close to the big tree Heifu, his dream of becoming a county captain was getting closer step by step.
And if you are dissatisfied over such trivial matters and create a gap with your husband, it is really unnecessary.
Dongmen Bao and Ji Ying looked better after being persuaded by Li Xian, but they still refused to accept the stinky stone Gong Ao.
He shook his head and said: "One code equals another. It's not that I dare to doubt Sima, but I really can't see what's so special about Zhao Tuo!"
At this time, the camp tent was opened again, but it was Hei Fu who got in. He glanced at everyone and saw everyone there, then he smiled and said, "I mean, why are there no noises from Ah Bao and Ji Ying in the camp?
Xian Gong Ao can't be found anywhere, so he is hiding here."
He walked directly to the desk, picked up the water cup that Dongmen Bao drank from, and didn't mind. He poured the water and took a sip. He looked back and asked calmly: "I heard you talking violently outside, what are you talking about?"
"
After Heifu came in, Li Xian immediately went over to salute. Dongmen Leopard and Ji Ying, the living treasures, looked at each other and hesitated to speak.
Only Gong Ao Tian was not afraid of earth or earth. After bowing to him, he shouted: "I am talking about Sima and Zhao Tuo's sworn sworn relationship. This is a self-destructive act and a loss of identity. We are quite puzzled! I hope Sima can clear up his doubts."
!”
"It's very simple."
Seeing the East Gate Leopard, Ji Ying also had the same idea. Heifu then laughed and said: "I am alone in going deep into Yuzhang. I have only advanced two hundred miles now. From now on, I may have to go south to Shanggan, a thousand miles away, and close the gate to maintain...
The only link between us and Nanjun and Jiangdong is Zhao Tuo's fleet."
He pointed at the four people and became serious: "You and I are from the same hometown of Nanjun and Anlu. We have known each other for several years. We have experienced life and death together and traveled thousands of miles. We are brothers who can share hardships and wealth."
, I can feel at ease by handing my back to you." "But Zhao Tuo is different. He is not my subordinate, he just borrowed it from Tu Duwei. He is under my command in name, but in fact he does his own thing."
It seems that I ignored him as an outsider and ignored him, which was a foolish move that compromised my identity. Little did they know, I wanted him to put aside his life and try his best to help me. When I led you to go south and go deep into the mountains and forests,
I can have a safe escape route. This trip is really dangerous. The king of Chu, the Yue tribe, heavy rain, miasma, and one careless move may wipe out the whole army. I have to take this strategy to prevent it.
All hidden dangers..."
Heifu explained his difficulty. Except for the smart man Li Xian, the three simple-minded people looked at each other and felt quite ashamed. "Sima has good intentions, but we don't know what is good. We really deserve to die!"
They prayed together. Although Li Xian felt that the logic was not right, he could only follow.
Hei Fu helped the four people up and said with emotion: "The so-called etiquette is all for outsiders to see. There is no need to be so artificial when it comes to true feelings. Our blood has flowed together as early as Linyang. Why use the customs of Yue people?"
, drink the blood of a few wild animals to emphasize? What do you think?"
"Sima's words are very true!"
His words were sincere and sincere. Dongmen Leopard, Gong Ao, and Ji Ying were all very moved. They once again felt that their "direct lineage" position was still unbreakable, and the jealousy in their hearts was gone.
Quite a few.
After finally appeasing his old subordinates, Hei Fu breathed a sigh of relief. After everyone retreated, he shook his head.
"These guys have different personalities. It's not easy to cover everything."
But if you consider the opinions of your old subordinates and do things timidly, then you are not a black man.
Heifu is confident that Gong Ao, Dongmen Bao, Li Xian, Ji Ying, Xiao Tao and other Nanjun people will unite closely around him and advance and retreat with him. But Zhao Tuo, the two sides will only have a temporary cooperative relationship for a few months at most.
Zhao Tuo will still have his own development trajectory in the future.
Heifu concluded that this person might become prosperous in the future, and even have the opportunity to become the lord of a state or the king of a country. He is a potential stock. At present, he is still in a weak state and has to hand in hard work. He dare not say that Zhao Tuo is grateful, but at least
I will remember Mr. Hei’s “love” today.
In this world, what is unforgettable is not the icing on the cake, but the help in times of need. "Maybe one day in the future, this friendship will come in handy..."
…
On the other side, after becoming brothers with Hei Fu and Wu Rui, Zhao Tuo bid farewell to Hei Fu and boarded the ship, preparing to return to Pengze.
He stood on the boat, holding on to the railing, still unable to contain the excitement in his heart... "Although Lieutenant Tu regards me as a confidant, in fact, I am just a hawk and dog that captures prey for him and kills big squirrels."
"Hei Fu is different. Although his status is not as high as Tu Sui's, he invited me to worship him as his brother in public. In the twenty-one years since I was born, there is no one who can treat Zhao Tuo so politely than this gentleman!"
Although Zhao Tuo felt proud that he had earned enough face in front of thousands of people, he was not stupid. He guessed that Heifu's move might have made him feel grateful and try his best to guard the waterway for the Nanjun soldiers.
But recalling the situation when he was bleeding, Heifu did have some sincerity.
Zhao Tuo raised his hand, and the warmth in his palm was still there when the two of them laughed and laughed. "Sima raised the chicken blood wine and said to me sincerely, he does not want to be born in the same year as me, but he wants to die in the same year!"
"This sentence is truly sincere and never seems like a lie!"
