"What is the pavilion chief's purpose in doing this?"

On the bank of Ganshui, on the side of Peng Lize, Heifu, Zhao Tuo, and Wu Rui drank chicken blood and drank wine and worshiped as brothers, but Dongmen Leopard's face was a little unhappy. But he still held back, and when he returned to the tents of several military officials, he couldn't help but complain when he saw that only Lixian and Ji Ying were there.

The Yue people like to worship as brothers after forming an alliance to show mutual trust, which is the custom of the Yue people, in order to win the trust of Ganyue, it is understandable for Heifu to become brothers with Wu Rui, but adding a Zhao Tuo makes Dongmen Leopard feel weird.

Among the few people who followed Heifu at the earliest, he still affectionately called him "Pavilion Chief" in private, which is a privilege only the descendants have.

But now, Dongmen Leopard feels that this honor that belongs to them is squeezed in and shared by Zhao Tuo, an outsider.

So he was a little apprehensive and unhappy, and Ji Ying also echoed his words.

Lixian on the side was thoughtful, and suddenly said, "What if not?" Do you think that the pavilion chief is going to be a brother to one of us? ”

Dongmen Leopard and Ji Ying looked at each other, and they didn't dare to do anything.

Ji Ying recalled that when he and Heifu first met, they were indeed called "Heifu brothers", even if Heifu was the pavilion chief, the tun chief, and his boss, Ji Ying still called him by his name because the two knew each other first.

The same is true of Dongmen Leopard, until the battle of Waihuang was rescued by Heifu, he did not treat Heifu as a boss.

Although Lexian was commensurate with Heifu as an official, it was because he was separated from Heifu, and deep in his heart, he even secretly complained that he was implicated by Heifu and was retaliated by Zuo Wei Yunman.

But all this changed after Heifu became Li You's personal guard general.

When it came to the Battle of Liyang, Heifu risked his life to go out of the city to surrender, motivate the soldiers, shout "I'll take you home", and command everyone to fight back in a desperate situation to achieve victory, and from then on, Heifu's position in the hearts of the three was completely established.

A few people who call themselves brothers and sisters have transformed into the Anlu Township Party Group with Heifu as the only core. Heifu went to Gangneung to take up a post, and the group did not disperse, but instead plotted to bring down Yun Man, kill the common enemy, and became closer and closer. Subsequently, inspired by the ambition of the black husband, the group found a goal to continue to struggle.

Since then, Heifu is like the moon, they are like stars, and after Heifu was received by the King of Qin and awarded the title of the Five Doctors, Heifu has been a burning sun to everyone.

A few people have a spectrum in their hearts, the stars are only worthy of being the foil of the sun, how dare they be in the same light with them? They have taken their own place in the position of subordinates, and they dare not be disrespectful to Heifu.

Therefore, Dongmen Leopard and Ji Ying were not angry that Heifu did not give him this honor, but because Zhao Tuo, an outsider, was suddenly valued by Heifu and dissatisfied.

Each group has a natural exclusivity.

At this time, Gong Ao also opened the tent and entered, and answered: "If you want me to say, Zhao Tuo is just a small building boat with five hundred masters, comparable to Ah Bao, Lixian, and Xiao Tao, and commensurate with the Sima brothers, he is also worthy?" “

Although Gongao joined later, he lived and died together, Dongmen Leopard and Ji Ying regarded him as their own people, and responded: "Yes, how can Zhao Tuo be virtuous!" “

Lixian has his own opinions, and Heifu often asks him for advice, so Lixian knows that Hei Sima is a targeted person, and he must have his purpose in treating Zhao Tuo so politely.

"Sima does this, naturally he has his reasons, we are never suspicious, besides, when did Sima treat everyone badly? When we are in a foreign war, we will do everything we can to save our lives; When he returned to Nanjun, he placed us in a suitable position; This time, the gold, silver, money and silk also shared our share of the pie. The second and third sons can have today, have a high lord and good land, and have a lot of wealth, do they all rely on their own skills? And thanks to the power of Sima! ”

Liham is right, close to the big tree of Heifu, his dream of becoming a county lieutenant is approaching step by step.

And if you are dissatisfied with such a trivial matter, it is really unnecessary to have a gap with Heifu.

After Dongmen Leopard and Ji Ying were persuaded by Lixian together, their faces looked better, but Gongao's stinky stone was still unconvinced.

He shook his head and said: "One yard is one yard, it's not that I dare to doubt Sima, but I really can't see what Zhao Tuo is good at!" ”

At this time, the tent was opened again, but it was Heifu who came in, glanced at it and saw that everyone was there, so he smiled and said: "I said, why is there no noise of Ah Bao and Ji Ying in the camp, and Lixian Gongao can't be found anywhere, so he is hiding here." “

He walked straight to the case, picked up the water cup that Dongmen Leopard had drunk, and didn't mind, he poured a sip of water himself, looked back and asked lightly: "I heard your fierce words outside, what are you talking about?" ”

After Heifu came in, Lixian immediately went over to salute, and after the two living treasures of Dongmen Leopard and Ji Ying looked at each other, they didn't dare to speak.

Only Gong Ao Tian was not afraid of the earth, and shouted after making a gesture: "I am saying that Sima pulled Zhao Tuo to worship together, this is a broken knot, self-damage to identity, we are quite puzzled!" I hope Sima will solve his doubts! ”

"It's simple."

Seeing that Dongmen Leopard and Ji Ying also had this idea, Heifu smiled and said: "I am alone in Yuzhang, and I have only advanced two hundred miles now, and in the future, I may have to go south to Shangjiang and Limensai, which are thousands of miles away...... And the only link that holds us together with Nanjun and Jiangdong is Zhao Tuo's fleet. ”

He pointed to the four of them and became serious: "I have known Zhujun Nainan County and Anlu for several years, experienced life and death together, traveled thousands of miles, and are the robed brothers who can share both suffering and prosperity. “

"But Zhao Tuo is different, he is not my subordinate, he was only borrowed from Tu Duwei, nominally under my command, but in fact he is doing his own thing."

"In your opinion, I don't care that he is an outsider, and it is a foolish move to damage my identity. As everyone knows, I want him to let go of his life and try his best to help, so that when I lead the monarchs south and go deep into the mountains and forests, I can have a stable back road. This trip is really dangerous, the Chu State feudal monarch, the Yue tribes, the shower, the miasma, if you are not careful, you may be wiped out. I had to do this to put an end to everything......"

Heifu explained his difficulties, except for the smart man Lixian, the three people with simpler minds looked at each other, and they were quite ashamed.

"Sima has good intentions, but we don't know what to do, it's really damned!"

They worshipped together, and although Leham felt that the logic was not quite right, he could only follow it.

Heifu helped the four of them up and said with emotion: "The so-called etiquette is all for outsiders to see, and the truth does not have to be so pretentious, our blood has flowed together as early as in Liyang, why use the customs of the Yue people and drink the blood of a few wild children to emphasize?" What do the second and third sons think? ”

"Sima's words are very true!"

His words were a little sincere, and he seemed sincere, Dongmen Leopard, Gong Ao, and Ji Ying were all very moved, and once again felt that their position as "descendants" was still unbreakable, and the vinegar in their hearts had also disappeared a lot.

Finally appeased the old subordinates, Heifu also breathed a sigh of relief, and shook his head after everyone retreated.

"These guys have different personalities, and it's really not easy to be comprehensive."

But if you take into account the opinions of your old subordinates and are timid to do things, then you are not a black man.

Heifu was sure that Gongao, Dongmen Leopard, Lixian, Ji Ying, Xiao Tao and other Nanjun people would unite closely around him and advance and retreat with him. But Zhao Tuo, the two sides have a temporary cooperative relationship for a few months at most, and Zhao Tuo will still have his own development trajectory in the future.

Heifu concluded that this person may be prosperous in the future, and even have the opportunity to become the lord of a state, the king of a country, and a potential stock.

In this world, what is unforgettable is not the icing on the cake, but the charcoal in the snow.

"Maybe one day in the future, this friendship will come in handy......"

……

On the other side, after worshipping Heifu and Wu Rui as brothers, Zhao Tuo said goodbye to Heifu 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 Captain Tu regards me as a cronie, in fact, I am just an eagle dog that catches prey for him and slaughters the big squirrel."

"Heifu is different, although his status is not as good as Tu Sui, he invited me to worship me as a brother in public. In the twenty-one years since I was born, there is no one who can treat Zhao Tuo so politely! “

Although Zhao Tuo felt that he had earned enough face in front of thousands of people, he was proud in his heart, but he was not stupid. He guessed that Heifu's move might have the purpose of making him grateful and trying his best to defend the back road of the waterway for the Nanjun soldiers.

But recalling the situation when he was bloody, Heifu did have some true feelings.

Zhao Tuo raised his hand, and the palm of his hand still had the warmth of the two of them laughing.

"Sima held up the chicken blood wine and said to me sincerely, he does not ask to be born in the same year as me, but to die in the same year!"

"This sentence is sincere, and it never seems to be fake!"
