A day later, the Qingfeng Red Turban Army supervised Zhang Shicheng's army through Liuhe, out of respect for Mao Gui and Zhao Junyong, Hao Ren sent someone to write in advance to express his respect.

Mao Gui first followed Sesame Li Li Er, and then followed Peng Da and Zhao Junyong, because Hao Ren asked for troops to fight and state, and worked with Hao Ren, he missed Hao Ren's good very much. Hao Ren trusted him very much, when attacking Hanshan, he handed over the elite of the Qingfeng army to him to command, and Hao Ren gave him two thousand soldiers, when he was recalled to Liuhe by Zhao Junyong, Hao Ren also generously gave him ten cannons and a number of gunpowder, earth-shaking thunder, and even the two thousand soldiers allocated to him at the beginning, also gave to him. Hao Ren did not allocate a single soldier to Sun Deya, and he refused to sell even a cannon to Guo Zixing, this comparison, Hao Ren was simply too generous to him.

Hao Ren is also grateful to Mao Gui. Mao Gui is a rare handsome talent, in the critical moment of the war with Hezhou, it was Mao Gui who led the pikemen army to arrive in time, so as to get rid of the stalemate of the war and defeat Timur's army in one fell swoop.

Mao Gui heard that Hao Ren led the troops to cross the border, and took the lead in leading his henchmen to continue to follow his ancestors, Chen Yutou and other subordinates, and went out of the city thirty miles to greet them.

"The governor is crossing the border this time, don't enter Liuhe City, and station the army outside the city, even if Zhao Dashuai invites you to enter the city, you can't go, and someone sends my order to invite you to enter the city, and you can't go, because I don't want you to enter the city at all." Mao Gui said quite seriously.

Hao Ren crossed the border this time, and he didn't want to enter Liuhe City, Zhao Jun used a person, and Hao Ren also heard about it. Zhao Jun is good at playing with power, lust for profit, once occupied the magpie's nest in Haozhou, and now proclaimed himself the king of Yongyi, is a person who is unwilling to live under others, and is also a person who wants to see wealth. Maybe he will plot the firearms and baggage he carried. Mao Gui said this, which can be regarded as a good intention.

"Why is that?" Hao Ren asked puzzled.

"Hey!" Mao Gui sighed and said: "My own ugly things should not be publicized to the public, I shouldn't be an outsider, I'll just say it." When I fought side by side with the governor, Zhao Dashuai actually attacked and killed Peng Dashuai in order to monopolize power, and now my existence has probably become a stumbling block for him, the previous governor sent me ten cannons, all of which he forcibly asked for, and refused to leave even one for me, and now the governor is here, I am afraid that he will fight the governor's crooked idea, or it is better to be cautious. ”

Hao Ren saw Mao Gui's sincerity, and said openly: "I didn't want to enter Liuhe City this time, thank you for the reminder." He pointed to the baggage of the horses behind him and said: "Now I also carry some firearms, so it's okay to give some to Mao Dashuai!" ”

"That's it! That's it! Mao Gui was very desperate and said: "Thank you Hao Dudu for your kindness, forget about this matter." Not to mention that Hao Dudu wants to use these things for his expedition to Gaoyou, even if the governor gave it to me, now that Mao Gui is in danger, there are these things that make Zhao Jun use red eyes, I am afraid that it will only increase Mao Gui's death! ”

Zhao Junyong is a ruthless strategist, Mao Gui is stable and bold and righteous, a typical Shandong Han character (Mao Gui is indeed from Shandong), and it is still dangerous under Zhao Junyong, which is really sighing.

Hao Ren couldn't bear to be a rare red scarf commander like Mao Gui, who died of infighting in his own family, and had the heart to accept such a talent, so he suggested: "I have always admired Mao Dashuai, why don't you give up that Zhao Junyong and be my companion?" ”

"Li Dashuai (Li Er)'s Xuzhou army left this bit of blood, in the critical moment when the army went south, if I abandon him, I am afraid that the world will laugh, and Zhao Dashuai's means are quite ruthless, my old family, in his control, it is easy for me to get out, and it is difficult for my family to get out!" Mao Gui sighed.

"If so, I am willing to make an appointment with Mao Dashuai as brothers, if there is really one day Zhao Junyong wants to have bad intentions towards Mao Dashuai, Guozuo is outside and Mao Dashuai is backing up, forgive him Zhao Junyong has to think twice!"

Mao Gui was overjoyed. If there is really Hao Ren's powerful Qingfeng Army as his backup, then Zhao Jun will use the Qingfeng Army who is afraid of Hao Ren, as well as Hao Ren's sworn brother Liu Futong, for a while, I really dare not help Mao Gui.

"In this way, I'm afraid Mao Guigao can't climb it!" Mao Gui smiled and opened his way.

"There is no basis for what you say, Guozuo is willing to swear with Mao Dashuai!" Hao Ren said loudly.

"In this way, it doesn't hurt to kowtow!" Mao Gui said excitedly.

Hao Ren and Mao Gui talked about the New Year's teeth, Mao Gui was the elder, Hao Ren was the younger brother, Mao Gui took out a feather arrow from the quiver, and crossed in front of the two, Mao Guimeng swore an oath:

"I, Mao Gui, today and Hao Renyue are brothers, I don't want to be born in the same year and month, but I want to die in the same year and month, please testify."

Hao Ren also held my arrow in one hand, and swore an oath: "The sky is proof, I, Hao Ren, and Mao Guiyue are brothers today, and his brother is in danger in the future, and Guozuo will save him and be in trouble!" ”

After the two finished their oath, they glanced at each other in unison, and Mao Guixin said, "Why is this brother different from my oath?" But he said it sincerely, and it was easy to implement. How many people in history were about brothers, and finally died on the same day, the same month, and the same year? ”

Hao Renxin said: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to make the same oath as you, but this 'concubine' can't do it." In my previous life, I kowtowed to my brothers, there were those who traveled west with a crane first, and I lived for two years before I was photographed by someone at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and my brothers who were not righteous and angry couldn't kill themselves in front of my corpse, and we couldn't do it, let's not talk about it. ”

The two of them looked at each other, comprehended, and said in unison: "Violating this oath is like this arrow!" With that, the two of them worked together, and with a "snap", a good feather arrow was broken in two.

This kind of oath is the best way for the Mongols to make a covenant with brothers, which is called "Anda". Temujin and Zamuhe had three appointments with Anda, and as a result, you fought to the death for more than ten years, and finally, Temujin remembered the friendship of Anda three times, and gave him a good Anda Zamuhe to die without bloodshed, breaking Zamuha's backbone.

The two felt that they were not satisfied, and according to the etiquette of the Han family, they rolled the saddle and dismounted, and knelt down on the side of the road, moving the soil for the furnace, and planting the grass for the incense: "The emperor is above, and the earth is ...... below", and just like the above, they made an oath before they officially finished worshipping. (Note 1)

Hao Ren made a righteous brother, Mao Gui had a brother who took care of him, the two sympathized with each other, overjoyed, got on the horse again, traveled a journey, laughed, and had arrived at the city of Liuhe, Zhao Jun, the leader of the Red Turban Army of Liuhe, with Zhao Dashuai, who had already been handsome and civil, greeted under the city.

Hao Ren issued an order to set up camp outside the city, and strictly ordered no one to leave the barracks without permission.

Mao Gui led Hao Ren to Zhao Junyong and introduced: "King Yu, this is my newly sworn brother, the governor of the Qingfeng Army and the Red Turban Army, the mentor of King Xiao Ming, the sworn brother of Liu Futong and Liu Dashuai, Hao Ren and Hao Guozuo!" ”

Zhao Jun saw that Hao Ren's army was camped on the spot, and squinted at Hao Ren's horses, not knowing what An's intentions were.

(Note 1: Although Huangtian and Houtu refer to heaven and earth, the 'emperor' and 'queen' are both emperors of ancient times.) Before the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, the monarchs of the Xia Dynasty did not call them emperors or kings, but called the Empress of Xia. (To be continued.) )
