Zhao Yun's haggard face showed that he was currently in a state of extreme confusion.
So, no wonder his round face turned into a long face.
In fact, the pottery merchant could understand him very well. Zhao Yun was just starting out and was still young. He had a loyal feeling of serving the country and a desire to make contributions.
It's a good age to show off your ambitions, just like you are now.
He was from Hebei and a military general. The one he respected the most was presumably the White Horse General Gongsun Zan who had been leading the White Horse Yi Cong to suppress foreigners for many years.
It is estimated that in Zhao Yun's view, it must be a supreme honor for the young man to be able to take refuge under the command of Gongsun Zan, the powerful hero of the North.
After all, Gongsun Zan can be said to be the benchmark for northern warriors to a certain extent.
It's a pity that passion is no match for political struggle.
In order to survive and gain power, and to obtain the official position of governor of Youzhou, Gongsun Zan exchanged 40 million yuan with Zhao Yun for the pottery merchant.
A passionate young man who yearned for him was dealt with by Gongsun Zan like he was selling cheap meat.
Just imagine how a high-spirited person like Zhao Yun could not be depressed? This is a deep hurt, more uncomfortable than giving him three swords.
Although Gongsun Zan's behavior is very annoying, in a sense, this guy actually did nothing wrong.
He also wanted to survive, win, and defeat Yuan Shao. Giving up Zhao Yun was also a sacrifice for Gongsun Zan. Judging from the fact that he could send this young man to lead troops to assist Xuzhou, Gongsun Zan was still more or less interested in Zhao Yun.
Have some expectations.
Therefore, his move was helpless.
Life, every moment, may be filled with this kind of helplessness.
"Brother Zilong!"
The pottery merchant walked towards Zhao Yun with a smile, and took Zhao Yun's hand, appearing very close to him.
"Tao has been so busy recently that he has no time to meet with Brother Zilong. I have just sent away the Emperor's ministers and you are here, just in time! Tao has some important matters that I need to discuss with you."
Zhao Yun smiled weakly and said in a low voice: "Tao Taifu wants to tell Yun that he wants to keep Yun in Xuzhou for five years to help the prince train the southeastern cavalry?"
Tao Shang didn't expect Zhao Yun to speak so directly. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Has Tian Guorang made it clear to brother Zilong?"
Zhao Yun smiled sadly and nodded stiffly.
"Brother Zilong...are you unwilling to stay with me?" Potter asked Zhao Yundao tentatively.
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Since Yun entered the officialdom, among the people he has met, the one who thinks the most highly of Yun is none other than Mr. Tao... Mr. Tao's respect and friendship for me are beyond words."
Seeing it in my eyes, I feel deeply grateful in my heart.”
Tao Shang heard this and said doubtfully: "Since Brother Zilong doesn't hate Tao, why don't you want to stay here to help Tao? You must know that I will never treat you badly, Zilong."
Zhao Yun was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "It's not that Zhao Yun doesn't want to stay in Xuzhou, it's just that I can't understand it in my heart, and I'm unwilling to do so... Since Yun defected to Beiping County, he has been very loyal to Grand Administrator Gongsun, and he has always been loyal to Governor Gongsun.
He never retreats, always fights first, and never misses anything. But why does Grand Administrator Gongsun have no nostalgia for Yun? He is not even willing to give me a letter or a military order... He just lets Tian Yu talk to him verbally.
Yun explains!”
Only then did Tao Shang understand that Zhao Yun had felt inferior because of something he didn't understand.
This is a psychological problem and needs some counseling.
Tao Shang cleared his throat and said to Zhao Yun: "Tao, let me tell you a story. A long time ago, there was a little kid named Mencius. Mencius's family lived next to a graveyard. Every night, the graveyard would scare Mencius with howling ghosts and howling.
Later, Mencius and his wife bought a high-end house near the market and business district in the city at a high price. However, all kinds of young rich people lived next to that place, and the atmosphere was very corrupt. Mencius's wife saw that this place was not good.
, in the end, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and buy Mencius a room in the school district near the city's academy... Since then, influenced by the good surrounding environment, Mencius has become a good boy who is studious and motivated...
…”
Zhao Yun's teeth hurt when he heard this story.
A good "Meng Mu's Three Moves" made him talk like this bird.
The pottery merchant continued to say to Zhao Yun: "As the saying goes, "Looking at the sea and watching the river, there are advantages, and the sky looking at the frog in the well, there is also a different understanding... It may not be impossible to leave the original environment. The world is so big, it is better than the place where we originally lived."
Not necessarily. It is said that you should regard people as capable and not think you are capable. You should regard everyone in the world as a teacher, be willing to be a disciple and not be ashamed to learn from others. Therefore, a capable person will become capable tomorrow, and a strong person will become a strong man. Why does Brother Zilong have to do it?
Why just focus on Grand Administrator Gongsun? The world is so big!"
Zhao Yun looked at the pottery merchant blankly, as if he was meeting this man for the first time.
When he was young, he saw Zhao Yunming realize: "A capable man will become capable tomorrow, and a strong man will become a strong man... The mantis waits for the cicada to block the leaves, and can become invisible. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, Yun Dao would rather be strong and do something.
This is a great cause for everyone in the world to see! At that time, the right and wrong will be judged by the public!"
Tao Shang smiled and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, saying: "This is the ambition that Changshan Zhao Zilong should have!"
While the two were talking, another money from Pei came into the account and reported it to the pottery merchant, saying that it was Tai Shici who came to see him.
After a while, Taishi Ci entered the tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Taishi Ci bowing his hands respectfully to the pottery merchant and saying: "Taifu, Ci has already addressed Kong Beihai and stated that he wants to go to Yangzhou to meet Liu Shijun to repay Liu Shijun's invitation that day.
I came here especially to see you today."
The pottery merchant was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile: "What does Ziyi mean by saying this, is he wanting to return to Jinling City with Tao?"
Taishi Ci nodded heavily and said: "My eyes are looking for Li Zhu Zhiming, and my ears are looking for Shi Kuang's wisdom. Ci has been with Taifu for several months, and I feel that I have benefited a lot. Regarding the emperor's matter, the emperor placed your majesty in Fan County.
Ci has never encountered such loyal ministers and gentlemen before... Ci resigned from office and is willing to go to Jinling City with the Lord. If I am not abandoned, from now on,
He will not hesitate to fight against mountains of swords and seas of fire."
The pottery merchant felt relieved after hearing these words, and for some reason he felt a rare and unruly feeling in his heart.
He suppressed his slightly excited mood, thought for a moment, turned around and took the Yitian Sword from the weapon rack.
Tao Shang walked up to Tai Shici, handed the Yitian Sword into his hand, and said: "This sword is a pair with the Qingzhi Sword that Brother Zilong seized from Xia Houen. The Qingzhi Sword has been worn by Brother Zilong."
, this Yitian Sword will be handed over to Ziyi!"
"This!" Taishi Ci was stunned: "Isn't this thing too valuable?"
"A sword goes with a good general. This sword is of little use in Tao's hands, but if it is given to a hero galloping on the battlefield, it will complement each other best. Ziyi should not refuse."
Taishi Ci was not a hypocritical person by nature. Seeing that the potter's words were so solemn, he no longer refused. He leaned forward and reached out to take the Yitian Sword.
Seeing Taishi Ci take the Yitian Sword, Tao Shang glanced back and forth between the two of them, and suddenly said boldly: "Today, both of the fierce generals are willing to stay in our Jinling City. In addition, the three of us are of the same mind, Tao suddenly
I came up with a good idea, that is, I would like to seize this opportunity, and my two brothers and I will become brothers with different surnames, and we will share blessings and hardships from now on. I wonder what Ziyi and Zilong want?"
"Become brothers?"
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were stunned immediately.
In this day and age, it's okay to be loyal to each other.
But the important thing is this identity.
Tao Shang is a well-known Taiping son in the world, and now he has become a Taifu, while Zhao Yun is just a warrior from Jizhou, and his family background is not very high. Although Taishi Ci had an official position in the past, he had already been
Make your body white.
With the current status of the pottery merchant, not to mention the status of Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun, even the descendants of the wealthy noble families cannot easily establish a relationship with him, let alone become sworn brothers with Jinlan.
Zhao Yun lowered his head, not embarrassed to talk.
Taishi Ci cupped his hands and said, "Taifu, do you act like this...is it a bit too much? Ci's identity, if he becomes a sworn sworn brother with Taifu, I'm afraid it would be an act of transgression."
The potter waved his hand and said with a smile: "What's wrong? It's Tao's honor to be brothers with you two heroes."
"But my identity?"
Tao Shang raised his eyebrows: "I think you two should be like Tao, good guys who don't care about worldly prejudices. How come you attach so much importance to this matter of status and family? You are really inferior!"
Upon hearing what the potter said, Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
A gentle gentleman and a broad-minded husband, maybe I am talking about the person in front of me!
When he was young, he saw Zhao Yun holding his hand and saying loudly: "Thanks to Taifu for not giving up, Yun is willing to marry Jinlan with Taifu. From now on, we will share joys and sorrows together!"
Taishi Ci also said seriously: "In this case, Ci will not shirk the blame... I heard that Liu Guan and Zhang became sworn brothers in Taoyuan, Zhuo County, and the three of them became famous. This story spread all over the world, and now Ci and Zilong are in harmony.
The Taifu sworn sworn sworn brother, but the place of sworn sworn vows cannot be chosen! At least it cannot be weaker than Liu, Guan, and Zhang."
The potter touched his chin and thought about it carefully for a while, but he couldn't think of anything good.
Zhao Yun suddenly woke up and said: "I heard that there is a chrysanthemum garden ten miles away from here. It is in full bloom today and the scenery is very beautiful. The three of us might as well go here and worship in the chrysanthemum garden. How about that?"
"Three brothers in Juyuan are sworn brothers?" Taishi Ci was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "This is a wonderful statement! My three brothers will surely be famous throughout the ages."
The potter's face didn't look very good.
Liu Guan and Zhang are sworn brothers in Taoyuan...it sounds very touching.
I'm fine with myself, what does this mean?
Three sworn brothers in Juyuan?
In this day and age, it sounds like nothing.
But if a thousand years later, the sworn deeds of Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, and the pottery merchants are recorded in history books...then what will the gossips of later generations call the three of them?
