Tao Shang recruited Zhou Yu as a general of chariots and cavalry, which made everyone present moved. They even looked up to the young Zhou Gongjin.
You know, the current Zhou Yu does not have the aura of record in the Battle of Chibi in history. He is currently just a sworn brother of Sun Ce, and he does not have much achievements. The most famous one is at most the Lujiang Zhou family.
The name sounds pretty bluffing.
For such a person, the world-famous Tao Taifu actually recruited him in front of everyone and promised him a high position. Judging from this alone, it can be said that the pottery merchant valued Zhou Yu extremely.
This kind of behavior has been rare for pottery merchants for many years.
Zhou Yu was extremely surprised when he heard the potter's solicitation.
He never expected that besides his brother Sun Bofu, there could be another person in this world who valued him so much.
And he is as young as Bo Fu, but his foundation is already huge, much better than Bo Fu's.
It is impossible to say that Zhou Yu was not moved at all.
After all, people go to higher places. Although they have made some achievements following Sun Ce over the years, they are caught between the two major forces of Tao Shang and Liu Biao. It is extremely difficult for Sun Ce's power to develop. If this were not the case, Zhou Yu would not
I would take the risk of offending the pottery merchants and come to the southern border of Yuzhang to lobby these Baiyue forces.
But temptation is temptation. After all, the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce is quite deep. How deep is it? Even better than Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
Even if a CEO of a large company like Potter offered him a high salary, he could only try his best to resist the temptation in his heart.
Can't be sorry for feelings.
Zhou Yu secretly regretted it in his heart. He stood up, cupped his hands to the pottery merchant and said, "Thank you so much, Master, for your kindness. It's just that Zhou Yu's knowledge is shallow, his skills are sparse, and he is unable to assist His Majesty. I'm afraid that entering the court will be out of character for the Han Dynasty. I hope the Queen will
Fu Duoduo, please forgive me."
When the Tao merchant heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with regret, slapped the table with his hand and said, "It's a shame that God allowed Tao to know Gong Jin for several years. It's a pity that we missed him... Don't try to persuade me, I want to cry."
.”
His expression was extremely sad, and his pretentiousness reached a certain level. When it comes to acting, in this era, pottery merchants dare not say that they are invincible, but at least they can fight with everyone they meet.
There was a bit of mist with tears in his eyes, and there was a bit of hesitation on his expression that made him reluctant to leave. He looked up at the sky with a hesitant expression, which was neither abrupt nor artificial.
Even a person like Zhou Yu couldn't help but believe it.
The pottery merchant, regardless of other things... these tricks are still very sharp!
He has a keen eye for recognizing talents, and he immediately realized that he was not an ordinary person, and he sincerely recruited him. Unfortunately, he could only miss him in the end.
No wonder that with his power and status, he didn't feel disgusted at all about his rash trip to the southern border to meet Baiyue privately. It turns out that he wasn't not disgusted with this matter... He was able to endure it because he liked me, Zhou Yu.
.
What does it mean to be thirsty for talents? This is it.
If it were not for Sun Boxu, Zhou Yu felt that he would be moved by the pottery merchant and bow to him, unable to control himself.
However, since the pottery merchant valued me so much... I just took advantage of this opportunity that he valued me, and took the opportunity to lobby Baiyue and Bo Fu in the southern border to have a good relationship!
Zhou Yu's thoughts will be regarded as a pure scheming bitch in future generations.
But seeing him stand up, he bowed deeply to the pottery merchant and said, "Although Yu can't serve the emperor in the court and assist the Taifu, he can still help the Taifu and protect the Han Dynasty under Brother Bofu."
Tao Shang stretched out his hand to wipe the tears that had just flowed from his eyes because of the acting, and said, "What do you mean by Gong Jin's words?"
Zhou Yu said respectfully: "Yu and Brother Bofu are both willing to follow the example of Taifu and do the hard work of the Han Dynasty. However, the world is in turmoil and fierce and stubborn forces are rising from all directions. Brother Bofu is not strong enough and is actually powerless at the moment.
The reason why Yu went to the south this time was for this matter. Yu wanted to make a good alliance with various tribes in Baiyue on behalf of Taifu Brother Dai Bofu. When the time was right, he would cross the border south and go straight to Nanhai County and Cangwu County, waiting to be captured.
After the two counties, we will then march to Guiyang County to secure the south for Taifu."
The potter listened and nodded vigorously to express his appreciation.
Although he looked appreciative on his face, the pottery merchant was actually greeting the eighteen generations of the Zhou family's ancestors one by one.
What you say is more beautiful than what you sing, and you go around and around, and you think it's all about me?
True or false... hypocritical!
Tao Shang sighed with emotion on his face: "Bo Fu and Gong Jin are really good ministers in this world. The emperor will be greatly comforted when he hears that you two are so loyal... Forget it, you can just do it in the south.
If you have any trouble or trouble with your affairs later, just use Tao's name! Or come to me directly, and Tao will take care of it for you."
Zhou Yu heard that Tao Shang was so open-minded. Although he knew that with his character, he would definitely not really help him, but as long as he did not stop him, it would be the greatest protection for him.
Zhou Yu also looked moved, and there were a few tears in his eyes unconsciously.
"The Taifu is so righteous and a true gentleman! When I was in Lujiang, I often heard Brother Bofu talk about the old things between him and the Taifu. Brother Bofu respected the Taifu extremely. In his heart,
Tutor is like a real brother."
Tao Shang sighed and said: "I feel ashamed to say it. In fact, when I played with Sun Wentai, Bo Fu could only be regarded as my nephew. At that time, I still called him my nephew... Later I saw that he couldn't keep his face.
, so he became his elder brother Tao."
Zhou Yu: "..."
Seeing that the two of them talked so well with each other, Gou Yi, the leader of Jiangdu Yue, couldn't help but laugh heartily and said: "I have heard for a long time that Tao Taifu is a hero of the world, and Zhou Gongjin is a magnanimous man. When I meet him today, it is true.
It is truly a great blessing for us to be able to make friends with you two and be able to serve the Emperor."
When everyone heard this, they laughed heartily.
Zhou Yu stroked his palm and said, "The Taifu's broad-mindedness is really admirable. I am very happy today and would like to play the song "Ode of the Long River" to show my respect for each other."
The pottery merchant smiled and said: "I have long admired Gong Jin for his unparalleled musical skills in the world, and Chang He Yin is your unique masterpiece. It is Tao's blessing to be able to hear such a high tune today, so let's invite Gong Jin to start."
Zhou Yu repeatedly said he didn't dare, and then ordered someone to bring his piano up, and then started playing it in front of everyone.
The sound of his piano is extremely beautiful. When you listen to it, you will feel as if the sound of nature is accompanying your ears. It makes your whole body feel refreshed, as if there is a clear spring flowing along your ears and flowing into your mind and body.
Although the pottery merchant did not understand music very well, he could still tell that Zhou Yu's music was extremely difficult. Without music scores, most people would definitely not be able to imitate it.
The potter looked around and discovered an interesting problem.
Although the leaders of the Hanyue tribe are not from the Central Plains, looking at their expressions, they are all proficient in music. The rhythm of their hands is very good, which is better than that of most Central Plains people.
And nothing less.
On the other hand, Ji Ling, Zang Ba, He Qi, Dong Xi, Pan Zhang and other generals who came with the pottery merchant also pretended to clap their hands in response, but unfortunately, the rise and fall in their palms represented their level of education...
…not even one of the eight shots was on point.
At this moment, the curtain of the tent was opened, and two brothers, Qiao Yi and Qiao Yun, carrying honey water, walked into the tent with smiles on their faces.
Qiao Yun was jumping up and down while holding the honey water. She came to the potter with a smile, poured the honey water into her wine cup, and said with a smile: "Brother Taifu! Drink some honey water to dissolve it."
Wine, it’s not easy to find some honey water in these ravines. My sister and I spent a lot of effort! How will you reward us two later?"
Zhou Yu was playing a piece of music and couldn't help but turn his head when he heard this.
As soon as he saw Qiao Yun, Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly straightened, and the piano in his hand became confused. For a while, it made a strange sound that did not conform to the rules of the music.
There are such beautiful women in this world!
What a fairy!
When Zhou Yu saw Qiao Yun's performance and expression, everything fell into the eyes of the pottery merchant.
A smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
Qiao Yun suddenly heard that there was an error in the sound of the piano, and turned around to look at Zhou Yu. When he saw Zhou Yu looking straight at him, with the look of laughter on his face, he couldn't help but frown.
"Brother Taifu, who is that person? Why is he staring at me so horribly? It's so scary." Qiao Yun asked Tao Shangdao in a low voice.
Tao Shang gently leaned his head over and said in her ear: "He looks at you like this because he, like Cao Cao back then, wants to wrestle with you on the bed, a very bloody one."
