Chapter 139 Shanhaiguan, Sworn Brotherhood on a Snowy Night!
Late at night.
A dilapidated house in Guancheng.
Tuqiao Village chose to spend the night in this house that could barely shelter from the wind and rain.
In the east wing, in the middle room.
The bonfire was burning, making crackling sounds.
Zhang Pu was like a pancake, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
Since he was forced to retreat to the grassland, he could fall asleep on horseback.
But tonight, he couldn't sleep at all.
The uneasiness lingering in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Zhang Pu sorted out the content of his conversation with Zhu Di in his mind again and again...
At some point!
The whole person suddenly sat up.
"The wind rises and the clouds fly, the power is spread across the country and I return to my hometown, how can I find a brave man to guard the four directions!"
"The feeling at that time was correct, Zhu Silang began to doubt me!"
Suspecting his identity, he was not a Ming Dynasty person at all!
Power spread across the country, is it a hint of the Ming Dynasty against the Yuan court?
Hometown, it means that I am a Han Yuan official! My hometown is in the Central Plains!
Where can I find a brave warrior? What does he want to express?
The wind is rising, is he going to attack me?
I figured it out a little, but then more puzzles followed.
Squeak...
There was a slight noise from next door, and Zhang Pu's thoughts were interrupted.
It was the sound of the door opening!
After Zhang Pu determined the source of the sound, he tiptoed and got up to the door with care, and looked out along the broken window frame...
Zhu Di closed the door gently, and before leaving, he glanced at the room where Zhang Pu and his entourage were.
His steps were very light, leaving only a series of shallow traces on the thick snow, without even a sound, and he quickly walked out of the house.
Zhang Pu opened the door carefully.
Looking at the footprints left on the snow, his pupils shrank slightly.
'I can't do it! ’
I thought that the two were equally skilled in archery and had similar strength, but I didn’t expect that Zhu Silang’s control over his whole body strength had reached such a terrifying level!
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Pu followed the footprints and quietly followed out...
He followed the footprints all the way out of the city.
When he arrived outside the dilapidated gate of Guancheng, the footprints suddenly disappeared!
Creak... Creak...
The footsteps came from the city behind him!
Zhang Pu’s face changed slightly, and after quickly recovering, he turned around. When he saw the people coming, a flash of vigilance flashed in his eyes...
Qiu Fu!
Zhu Neng!
Why are they?
Where is Zhu Silang!
Zhang Pu’s mind was in a hurry, but his face was calm. He clasped his fists and smiled, “I saw Brother Zhu coming out, and I was worried about him, so I followed him all the way, but outside the city gate, I found that his footprints disappeared.
“Two captains, have you seen Brother Zhu? "
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng smiled at each other.
Cough!
At this moment, a cough was heard from behind the collapsed part on the left side of the city gate.
Zhu Di smiled and walked out from behind...
"Brother Zhang."
Zhang Pu tried to maintain his smile.
But he knew that he was exposed, so he asked with grace: "Can you tell me, brother, where did I reveal my flaw?"
Zhu Di smiled.
"First of all, a son of a gentry family can pull a three-stone hard bow and shoot three arrows in a row, which in itself arouses suspicion."
"Secondly, Brother Zhang went out of the pass to find his relatives, and he only explained it once."
Zhu Di said, walking towards Zhang Pu, pointing at Qiu Fu, "Captain Qiu is going to Liaodong to take up a post."
"We have been together all the way and have become friends. If you want to find relatives, why don't you ask Captain Qiu for help? Wouldn't it be more effective to find relatives with the help of official power? "
Zhang Pu smiled bitterly.
Looking for relatives was originally a temporary excuse.
He thought that it was originally a lie, and if he told it too much, he would need to use other lies to cover it up, which would inevitably reveal a flaw.
But he ignored it.
Never mentioning it again, it became the biggest flaw.
"There are also some daily habits. Brother Zhang has been in the grassland for too long, so that some of the grassland people's habits are exposed inadvertently, but you are used to it and don't realize it. "
"In addition, Uncle Ba told me that Brother Zhang's followers are very enthusiastic and helped a lot, but they also asked a lot of questions indirectly. "
...
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng were surprised.
Zhu Silang, actually found out so many flaws?
In fact, Zhu Di never trusted Zhang Pu from the beginning.
He took the pheasant sent by Zhang Pu, but did not invite Zhang Pu, and turned around and left, just testing him.
Zhang Pu followed him.
This increased Zhu Di's suspicion.
Observing Zhang Pu with suspicion.
Many seemingly reasonable actions will naturally become unreasonable.
Zhang Pu smiled bitterly, knowing that he had failed this time, but he was unwilling to accept it, and asked back: "Brother Zhu, can you guess who I am?"
Zhu Di smiled confidently.
If he didn't use the word Pu, he really couldn't guess it.
He smiled and said: "I guess your real name is Zhang Gongchang, the Yu of Pu Yu!"
"Zhang Yu, the head of the Yuanting Privy Council!"
"What! "
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng exclaimed.
Zhu Silang told them that Zhang Pu might be a spy of the Yuan court, but he didn't tell them that Zhang Pu was the head of the Privy Council!
This is a big fat pig!
Should we change the original strategy of raising enemies?
Sending Zhang Yu to the court is a great achievement.
'It turns out that Zhu Silang has stripped my underwear.'
Zhang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, clasping his fists, "Yes, I am the head of the Privy Council of the Yuan court. Now I am in the hands of Brother Zhu, and I am convinced. "
"I just want to know who Brother Zhu is!"
Of course, it was impossible to tell Zhang Yu his identity. Zhu Di smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, I am just a farmer who knows some martial arts and has some knowledge."
"Brother Zhang, instead of asking these irrelevant questions, why don't we discuss it..."
"Brother Zhu!" Zhu Neng stopped Zhu Di in time.
He Qiu Fu quickly came to Zhu Di and whispered, "Brother Zhu, sending Zhang Yu to the court is a great achievement!"
"You two thousand households, please don't be short-sighted. Your status as the Privy Council Magistrate can allow you to plan to raise the bandits and set off a storm on the grassland!"
Zhu Neng immediately retorted, "But what if it fails? Zhang Yu can't be trusted!"
"Will Zhang Yu, a Han Chinese, die for Yuanting? As long as this dynasty maintains its strong position on Yuanting, in order to leave a way out for himself, he will also secretly communicate with us..." Zhu Di refuted one after another.
Zhu Neng was speechless.
Qiu Fu couldn't help but secretly laugh, "Old Zhu, Brother Zhu is right, Zhang Yu's status as the Privy Council Magistrate can allow the Yangtai Plan to stir up a storm on the grassland!"
"Sending it to the court will only benefit us personally, but will not be of great benefit to the country."
Zhu Neng had no choice but to give up.
The Privy Council!
Equivalent to the Deputy Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the Right Governor!
…
‘Ande warrior, Zhu Silang wants to win me over. ’
‘So, Gale Rises is not trying to deal with me, what is it? ’
While Zhu Di and the other three were communicating in whispers, Zhang Yu was also reinterpreting the poem.
At some point.
The two sides looked at each other at the same time, Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Brother Zhu and I were singing the poems of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, when they were drinking. It must have meant something."
"Ande warriors are guarding the four sides. If I guess correctly, Brother Zhu, you want to recruit me."
"Brother Zhu, can you explain to me the meaning of the other two sentences."
It's easy to deal with smart people. Zhu Di said with a smile, "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. We hope that Brother Zhang will set off a strong wind on the grassland after he returns to the grassland."
"Weijia returned to his hometown in the mainland. In the future, the imperial court will completely resolve the border troubles and Brother Zhang will return to his hometown in glory!"
"You are going to let me go! And allow me to return to the grassland!" Zhang Yu asked in shock.
It was so unexpected.
Zhu Di nodded with a smile, "Yes, we will also help Brother Zhang to form a military force. I hope that Brother Zhang, with this military force, can defeat the weak and destroy the strong on the grassland, and develop into a force that cannot be ignored under Yuanting's command. Support the power of warlords.”
The three idiots brought by Shandong have a slim chance of achieving this goal.
But if Zhang Yu joins, it is very likely to raise a big bandit on the grassland!
Zhu Di revealed everything about the plan to raise the bandits.
Zhang Yu was completely stunned.
After regaining consciousness for a while, he murmured, "You guys really dare to think and do!"
How dare a 'farmer', a Qianhu, or a deputy Qianhu, negotiate such a big cooperation with him!
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng glanced at Zhu Di with a wry smile.
They didn't dare, it was all the audacious Zhu Silang who encouraged and seduced him!
"Aren't you afraid of raising bandits and turning me into a powerful enemy of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhang Yu asked back.
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "I'm really not afraid. No matter how powerful Brother Zhang is in the grassland, he is still a foreigner. He can rule the grassland people with force, but it is impossible to be convinced."
"We often say that people who are not from our race must have different minds. In fact, every race has this concept."
"If Brother Zhang unified the grassland, it would be easier for the imperial court to win."
…
Zhang Yu completely understood.
Zhu Silang is not worried about his development and growth at all.
At the same time, Zhu Silang has also arranged a very good escape route for him.
At the critical moment, cooperate with Daming and give Yuanting a thunderous blow.
Then he took his troops and horses and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, high-ranking officials were bound to receive generous salaries, and they were even given preferential treatment by being given the title of duke or marquis!
This is what Zhu Silang hinted, Wei Jiahai returned to his hometown.
Return to the Central Plains with merit and honor your ancestors!
For him, this road couldn't be better.
He doesn't have the ambition to dominate.
Because he knows very well that he is not that material.
"I can agree, but there is a condition!" Zhang Yu suddenly made a request.
Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu were immediately laughed out of anger. A prisoner still dares to raise conditions?
Zhu Di smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "Brother Zhang, please speak."
"Under this snowy night, the four of us have become brothers of the opposite sex, sharing blessings and hardships!"
First of all, the temperaments of these three people suit him.
Secondly, in the plan to support the invaders, he also wanted the help of Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, and he also wanted to allocate territory to the guards of Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng.
Become brothers, and the bond will be stronger.
The most important thing is Zhu Silang!
Even if Zhu Silang is really a farmer, with this shocking plan, he must drag Zhu Silang to join him in sworn vows!
Worship?
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he immediately shook his head: "I can't sworn sworn brothers. Brother Zhang and Qiu Qianhu and Zhu Fuqianhu sworn sworn brothers. I will be your witness."
Worship? If some people in the DPRK know about it, I don’t know how they will become suspicious.
He didn't want to cause trouble.
"No! You have to participate!"
"Yes, you must be there! Everything was designed and promoted by you. Now, you want to shrink back? There is no way!"
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng immediately supported Zhang Yu.
They were originally thinking of detaining Zhu Silang.
Wouldn't it be better if we all become sworn sworn friends and take our relationship to a higher level?
