Chapter 38 Talents
"Haha...... Congratulations to Chen Dutong on his promotion, originally today was to pick up the wind for Zilie's virtuous brother, and I never thought that I would even hold a celebration banquet together, which is really gratifying! Haha......"
In the temporary residence, Sun Ce was leading a group of subordinates to greet Chen Wu who was invited, and as soon as they met, Sun Ce boldly congratulated Chen Wu, who had just been promoted.
Chen Wu didn't expect so many people to come to greet him, and he couldn't help but say a little shyly: "I am grateful to have General Laosun spend money." ”
Sun Ce waved his hand and pretended to be unhappy and said: "My name is Zi Lie, but Zi Lie calls me General Sun, so don't you look down on me Sun Bofu?" ”
"How could it be ......," Chen Wu hurriedly explained, "The junior brother is just afraid that he will not be able to climb high, if the general does not give up, the junior brother will boldly call the general Brother Bofu." ”
"That's very good, haha......" Sun Ce laughed when he heard this.
Chen Wu was a little confused, and a little fluttering, the General Sun in front of him was the master he planned to defect to a few days ago, but now he took the initiative to call him a brother, and his life experience is really unpredictable......
"Come, let me introduce you to ......" Sun Ce smiled and introduced to his subordinates, "This is Chen Wu, Chen Zilie, the commander of the personal guard just appointed by our general Zhengdong." Martial arts are extraordinary, but I have seen it with my own eyes! ”
"Congratulations to Chen Dutong on his promotion!" Everyone congratulated. Chen Wu hurriedly returned the salute and thanked him.
"Come, I'll introduce ...... to Zilie's virtuous brother," said Sun Ce to introduce three older humanitarians to Chen Wu, "These three are General Cheng Pu, who is virtuous; General Huang Gai, the words are public; Han Dang is a general, and he is righteous. All three of them followed their ancestors to fight in the south and the north very early, and all participated in the battle of Tiger Prison Pass to pacify the Yellow Turban and crusade against Dong Zhuo. ”
Chen Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass were the most famous battles of the Han Dynasty in the past ten years, but he didn't expect that all three people in front of him had participated, and they were still standing in front of him, Chen Wu didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly saluted solemnly: "Chen Wu visited the three generals, and it is really a blessing to see the three generals today." ”
Cheng Pu and the others helped Chen Wulian very calmly and said politely.
Sun Ce introduced another person: "This is General Zhu Zhi, and he is a gentleman." The fact that my father was able to accept the title of Marquis of Wucheng had a great contribution to General Zhu, and he also participated in the Battle of Tiger Pass. ”
"Fortunately, General Zhu." Chen Wu also solemnly saluted.
Sun Ce continued to introduce: "This is Lu Fan, Lu Ziheng. He is my most important advisor, even the Han family knows his name, and he took the initiative to marry his daughter to him, and it is overkill to be my advisor. ”
Lu Fan, who was already ready to say a few polite words casually, suddenly felt a little sour when he heard Sun Ce's evaluation, and hurriedly bowed his head and pretended to salute to cover up: "The lord has a good reputation, and his subordinates dare not be ashamed." ”
As soon as Chen Wu heard that it was a famous person who his father often talked about, he didn't dare to slack off and took the initiative to salute: "I've seen Mr. Ziheng." ”
"Chen Dutong is polite, congratulations to Chen Dutong on his ascension." Lu Fan can be regarded as a salute to Chen Wu.
"Hehe......" Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw that Lu Fan's reaction was greatly satisfied. Then he continued, Chen Wu introduced the last two people and said, "These two are Zhou Tai and Zhou Youping." and Jiang Qin, Jiang Gongyi. Although he was the last to join me, his martial arts were not under me, and Zilie could learn more from them in the future. ”
"I've seen two generals...... Hey! Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin? ”
Chen Wu, who was originally ready to be casually polite when he saw Sun Ce's casual introduction, suddenly popped up the names of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin in his mind......
"But the two of them are the Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin who are known as the 'Nine Rivers Two Dragons'?"
"This ......" Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were already preparing to meet each other, were immediately embarrassed when they heard Chen Wu call out the bandit names of the two on the rivers and lakes. After all, the people present are all people with status and status, and it is also an official social occasion of the public, so it is a bit nondescript to suddenly make a gangster. It's like a later generation of officials who have a meal after a meeting, and someone introduces this as the secretary of the party committee; This is the Causeway Bay Bearer......
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were speechless in embarrassment, and Chen Wu was speechless in surprise. If you want to talk about the famous generals and celebrities introduced by Sun Ce before, for him who is not in the deep world, it feels a little far away, but these two people in front of him are cattle people living around him.
The foundation of the Chen family was accumulated by several generations of people on the Yangtze River, and who did not know Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, two big water bandits, who were begging for a living on the water. The Chen family wanted to go to Bai Wharf if they wanted to take the Jiujiang waterway, and they were not qualified to see these two people, so a few small leaders sent his father away, never thinking that Chen Wu had seen both of them.
The key is that these two people are not a gang, but the two largest groups of water bandits in Jiujiang, and it is said that both families have thousands of men and hundreds of boats. Although I haven't heard of a big fight between the two sides, but there are always bumps and deaths, if one of them takes refuge in Sun Ce today, Chen Wu will be surprised at most, and it is acceptable, but now it is the two of them who have joined Sun Ce together, how charming is this Sun Ce!
Chen Wu felt that his worldview had collapsed all of a sudden......
"Since they are gone, will my family not have to pay protection money in the future?"
Chen Wu struggled to stabilize his mind, but the first thought that came to his mind was the issue of paying protection money, and it was obvious that he had not yet become an official.
"I didn't expect Zilie to know Youping and Gongyi, so I want to be closer and closer in the future." Sun Ce's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he took the opportunity to propose.
"Well, I know, our family is a boat running on the water, but the scale is relatively small, only a dozen boats, and it can't get into the eyes of the two!" Chen Wu said truthfully.
"Grandma's, I've run into a water ghost." Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin suddenly had a cold sweat on their faces, and instantly understood what was going on, and hurriedly asked for sin, "Please forgive all your sins." ”
"Forgiveness?"
Chen Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, "Can I condemn them?" Shall I get all the money I paid back by my family? If I want to come back, my dad won't be happy to die! ”
Although Sun Ce didn't know the details, he guessed the general meaning, so he haha: "That's not a fight, you don't know each other, in the future, everyone will be in the same army as generals, and they will all be brothers, so we still have to be closer and closer." ”
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qinlian applauded.
Seeing that they had all been introduced, Sun Ce said, "Come, the banquet has been prepared, please take a seat." Today is to celebrate Zilie's success, everyone must not get drunk and not return. ”
As he spoke, he took Chen Wu's hand and led him to the first position on the right and said, "Come, Zilie, please take a seat." ”
Chen Wu saw that he was the only guest, so he sat down unceremoniously, and then the others also sat down and prepared to start the banquet. Chen Wu, who was sitting down, saw that there were either famous generals or celebrities around him, and the worst was also a very famous bandit, remembering that when Yuan Yao picked up the wind for himself yesterday, only Liu Ye and Bu Qi were accompanied, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Could it be that this Sun Ce is really the master, there are so many powerful people around him who take refuge, and he is much more powerful than the lord!" ”
Sun Ce saw that everyone was seated, so he raised his glass and prepared to say a few words to show the opening words: "Zilie is young and promising, and he will be honored in a high position when he first joins our army. After saying that, he drank down, and everyone followed.
After Chen Wu finished drinking, he said: "I am young and shallow, and I hope that you will take care of you in the future." Yesterday, the lord Zhengdong General also said that Brother Bo Fu also joined the army at the age of eighteen and began to fight in Lujiang, which is an example that I need to learn from, so that I can learn more from Brother Bo Fu in the future. ”
Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this: "General Zhengdong really said that? ”
Chen Wu said as a matter of course: "Of course, I learned this according to the words of the lord in 1510." ”
Lu Fan stroked his beard on the side and said with a smile: "It seems that General Zhengdong still trusts the lord!" ”
"Hehe, come, everyone's drinking......"
"!"
