"Today we are sworn brothers with different surnames. From now on, we should work together to rescue the poor and help the people in danger, report to the country, and live in peace. We do not wish to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we wish to die in the same year, the same month and the same day! The emperor and the sky are the witness, and the rich soil is the lesson. Be treacherous and ungrateful.
, Heaven and man kill together!" Bai Tu said in front of the altar that Taishi Ci had prepared.
In terms of the sense of ceremony, this ceremony is definitely more fulfilling than the impromptu marriage of the three people in Taoyuan!
Buddhism spread eastward during the Western Han Dynasty and has been around for some time now. However, it is not yet popular in the Central Plains. Instead, it has a slight market in Jiangdong.
Especially before, Zuo Rong practiced Buddhism - although this guy was of poor character and repeatedly killed the small princes who accepted him, and then carried out armies and plunders, he had a soft spot for Buddhism...perhaps because he thought that the Buddha could wash away his sins.
?
Zuo Rong went from Xuzhou to Yangzhou and brought some Buddhism to him. Even though the people hated him and it could be said that he had given negative publicity to Buddhism, there were many monks and nuns who came to Jiangdong because of him.
In addition, Wu Guotai also had the habit of worshiping Buddha in the future, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of Buddhism in the Southern Dynasties in later generations.
Of course, in this era when aristocratic families are about to transform into powerful families, and in an area like Jiangdong where local powerhouses have deep influence in every corner, it is impossible for Buddhist temples to become local big landowners like in later generations, and there will be no tax benefits.
, in general, quite honest.
"Brother! Ce Shao has nothing to do. In the past, he only had some achievements with his bravery and the help of Gong Jin and other uncles... But my eldest brother trusts me so much. From now on, Ce will be driven by his eldest brother and will never have any second thoughts!
"Sun Ce said sincerely.
As if he didn't notice Zhou Yu frowning at the side, Bai Tu directly patted the two of them on the shoulders and said: "The same goes for third brother!"
Zhou Yu:……
"With the kindness of elder brother and the wisdom of Gong Jin, the three of my brothers will be able to save the people from the fire and water! Ce is willing to share weal and woe with elder brother, life and death!" Sun Ce said confidently.
"The same goes for the third child!"
"Anyone who violates this statement will be disgusted by heaven!"
"The same goes for the mistress!"
Zhou Yu felt very sad. Why did he become a "mistress" out of nowhere?
However, under the gazes of Sun Ce and Bai Tu, Zhou Yu still drank the slightly bitter sworn wine.
When the three of them came out of the decorated Jieyi Palace, they saw Sun Quan waiting outside. At this time, he was staring at the door angrily with extremely fierce eyes.
Next to them were Chen Ying and Sun Shangxiang. As for Sun Yi and Sun Kuang, they went to the Buddhist temple with their two mothers.
Bai Tu didn't understand Sun Quan's extreme ferocity at all. He stepped forward and rubbed him again and said, "Zhongmou, you will also be my brother from now on."
Sun Quan:......
All Bai Tu knows is the "past", and even in this world, it's not even the "past", and the future is unpredictable.
But now when I rub Sun Quan's head, I still feel the pleasure of rubbing it a hundred thousand times, and I feel a hundred thousand times more happy.
At this time, Sun Ce introduced Chen Ying to Bai Tu.
"Chen Ying pays homage to Mr. Bai." Chen Ying saluted respectfully, his tone uncontrollably cheerful.
These days, Sun Quan has brought a great shadow to him. When he was in Shouchun, Sun Quan was like the protagonist of Shuangwen. He used his power as a proton to slap Huainan Civil and Military in the face, and even gained Yuan Shu's trust and reliance.
Even worse, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang’s generation!
Chen Ying, who was also a hostage, went from being dissatisfied at the beginning to now having a psychological shadow on Sun Quan...
Now seeing that evil people will have their own trials and tribulations, Chen Ying was of course very happy.
"No need to be polite. When Tu went down to Jiangdong from Xuzhou, it was thanks to your Chen family's help that your father entrusted Tu to rescue you as soon as possible. Now it's just right that you can come back with Zhongmou! Wait for General Zhang and General Gao
After you return from Guangling and learn about the current situation in Guangling County, I will send someone to take you back to Xuzhou," Bai Tu said.
"Thank you Mr. Bai for your righteousness!" Chen Ying was very moved.
Bai Gong is Bai Gong, and he is different from Bi Yaner - Sun Quan's prerequisite for saving him is that he will use his identity as the legitimate second son to clearly arrange the Chen family.
If Sun Ce really agrees and takes advantage of the trend to separate the country and establish himself, the next step to go is Wankou and Wancheng. And the next step is Sun Quan's plan to use Chen Ying to leverage the Chen family's foundation in Guangling and take advantage of Yuan Shu's weakness.
, capture Guangling County!
Sun Quan already knows what Yuan Shu will do next, so he understands that now is not the time when Yuan Shu is at his weakest...
Even if it succeeds, because of Chen Ying's side, the Chen family will have to turn to the Sun family - Chen Gui. Sun Quan also heard Chen Ying say that Chen Deng's heart belongs to the Cao family.
However, a big family like the Chen family has many factions, not to mention that Chen Ying is still the second son. Even if he cannot get the full help of the Chen family, he can at least stir up troubles.
Without Jiangdong, Guangling can be captured to ensure that Sun Ce obtains the maximum benefit in Huainan when Yuan Shu seeks self-destruction, and it also indirectly causes the Xuzhou clan to be leveraged... This is Sun Quan's plan!
Of course, this kind of plan that lacks the support of strength and is based solely on mental skills actually has many loopholes.
Not to mention the severe drought in Huainan that no one except Bai Tu knew about at this time, which could make the plan of "taking Wancheng and Guangling to cross Huainan" become a dream. Even if it really succeeds, it will not be in charge then.
Guangling, but trapped Guangling to death!
Even...Sun Quan was slightly tricked by Chen Ying.
[Although I am the second son in the family, how can my prestige be compared with that of my eldest brother? Even if I fully cooperate with you, it is impossible for the family forces to distract my father and eldest brother from helping you! As long as my father and eldest brother do not say anything,
It’s no use even if you try to peel me off outside Guangling City, hahaha... I didn’t expect that there would be such a non-existent second son, right?]
While Chen Ying was confident that he had figured out Sun Ce, he felt like crying for some reason.
On the one hand, Bai Tu didn't think so much. On the other hand... Sun Quan didn't owe the Chen family anything, but Bai Tu owed the Chen family a favor. Since he promised to save Chen Ying as much as possible at the beginning, now Chen Ying is on his own.
When you come back, there is no reason not to send them back.
"Brother Bai Tu, this brother Chen was rescued by my second brother." Six-year-old Sun Shangxiang suddenly said in a babyish voice.
Sun Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was about to say something just now, but Sun Ce glared back... His sister is still reliable!
"Hahaha, you are Xiao Shangxiang, right? You call me 'brother' well. From now on, you will be my brother and sister. What's the difference between the people you save and the people I save? And... Chen Ying
I will also thank your second brother!" Bai Tu said generously.
Listen, do you think this is what people say? - Sun Quan now wished he could pounce on him and fight Bai Tu to the death.
But Sun Ce was staring at him, and he didn't dare to say anything. He just looked at Sun Shangxiang expectantly, hoping that his sister would continue to fight against this shameless person - Tong Yan Wuji, and the elder brother couldn't stop the little sister!
Sun Shangxiang, on the other hand, tilted his head and said, "Is that so?"
"Of course it is! Well, what's my brother's is yours too. These candies are for you to eat!" Bai Tu said and took out a small bag made of silk with some shiny things inside.
"What is candy? It's so hard, can it be eaten?" Sun Shangxiang looked at the white picture questioningly.
"Of course you can eat it," Bai Tu said.
Sun Shangxiang put one in his mouth doubtfully, then his eyes lit up, he pointed at Chen Ying and said: "Second brother's is ours, change it, change it!"
