Chapter 82
The four people in Journey to the West were just saying something on the surface. What Guo Hao really wanted to know was what Zhao Kuangyin thought.
If Zhao Kuangyin had ambitions, he would definitely choose Tang Seng. Although it was inconsistent with his image, it was the core of the four-person group, which was enough to prove his ambition.
His choice of Sun Wukong means that he still wants to make a name for himself. Sun Wukong is not Tang Seng, but he is also an important figure. This also shows that Zhao Kuangyin wants to achieve something.
He didn't know his future, and it was normal for young people to have ideals. Guo Hao said that he was Zhu Bajie, but he was actually a bit self-deprecating. Judging from Zhao Kuangyin's performance, he was a little overthinking.
But Guo Hao had to think that Tang He was above Zhu Yuanzhang, but he respected Zhu Yuanzhang very much, which allowed him to survive in his later years.
Although Zhao Kuangyin was not Zhu Yuanzhang, his current attitude determined his future result. He did not want to be too humble, and he was worried that Lao Zhao would think of this and settle the score with him in the future.
So this time, Guo Hao realized that Lao Zhao had no idea yet. In fact, this is normal. The extraordinary things written in history were all beautified by literati.
The real Zhao Kuangyin is now just a young man with ideals, ambitions, and wants to achieve something. He still has time to consider it.
The four of them entered the city and found an inn to stay. At night, Guo Hao thought about it all night and felt that he should respect Lao Zhao. After all, he would be the emperor in the future, so he would still have to follow him.
After breakfast, Guo Hao suggested going out for a walk. March is approaching and spring is coming.
Zhao Kuangyin was also very interested. If possible, no one would want to run around. They traveled all the way like this, as if they were out for fun.
Guo Hao had inquired in detail that there was a peach forest outside the city, and the peach blossoms were blooming now, so Guo Hao brought the three of them to come, and the scenery was indeed extraordinary.
"Thousands of flowers lean on the sills, and one branch is decorated with clouds and clouds. Don't be disgusted with the wind, and you can see the spring light. This flower is this flower.
Brother Zhao, look at how wonderful the peach blossoms are blooming. We are here at the right time!"
"Yes, Zhao has been traveling for several years and has been to many places. He has never seen such beautiful peach blossoms. Brother Guo's literary talent is also amazing. No wonder he can write a wonderful book like Journey to the West."
"What strange book is just a funny story. Brother Zhao, I have an idea, don't you know whether to tell it or not?"
"Oh? Brother Guo, please say it!"
"Do you know the story of the Three Jehovah in Taoyuan?"
"I hope to hear the details."
"It is said that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yan came out to recruit Yi soldiers. Bangwenxing came to Zhuo County and led a hero from Zhuo County.
That man was not very fond of studying, was gentle, taciturn, did not show his emotions, had great ambitions, and was dedicated to making friends with heroes in the world.
He was born with a body of seven feet and five inches long, with both ears lofted on his shoulders, his hands were over his knees, his eyes could look at his ears, his face was like jade, and his lips were like grease.
After Liu Sheng, the King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Han, the surname Liu and his name is Xuande...
When Liu Yan issued a banner to recruit troops, Xuan De was twenty-eight years old. When he saw the banner that day, he sighed with great sigh.
Then a man sternly said, "Why do you sigh if a real man does not contribute to the country?"
Xuande looked back at the man, eight feet long, with a leopard head, a ringed eyes, a swallow chin and a tiger whisker, a sound like a huge thunder, and a galloping horse. Xuande saw that he was abnormal in appearance and asked his name.
The man said: "A certain surname is Zhang Fei and his courtesy name is Yide. He lived in Zhuo County for generations. He had a lot of farmland. He sold wine and slaughtered pigs. He was very interested in making friends with heroes in the world. He just saw the public looking at the list and sighed, so he asked each other."
Xuande said: "I am a relative of the Han Dynasty, with a surname of Liu, and my name is Bei. Now I heard that the Yellow Turbans have advocated chaos and have ambitions to defeat the thieves and the people are happy, but I hate them, so I sigh."
Fei said, "I have a lot of money. I should recruit local brave men and do great things with the public. How about it?"
Xuande was very happy, so he went into the village shop with him to drink. While he was drinking, he saw a big man pushing a car, and he stopped at the front of the store, and sat down in the shop.
Then he called the bartender: "Put the wine quickly and I'll hurry into the city and join the army!"
Xuande looked at him: his body was nine feet long, his beard was two feet long, his face was like a heavy date, his lips were like a paint coat; his eyes were red and phoenix, his eyes were lying in silkworm eyebrows, his appearance was dignified and majestic.
Xuande invited him to sit with him and knocked on his name. The man said, "My surname is Guan Yu, and my courtesy name is Changsheng. Later, he changed to Yunchang, and he was a good man from Hedong.
Because I was so powerful that I was killed by me and fled to the world for five or six years. Now I heard that I was recruiting troops here to defeat the thieves, so I came to recruit."
Xuande then told him with his ambition. Yun Chang was very happy and went to Zhang Feizhuang together to discuss major events.
Fei said, "There is a peach garden behind my village, and the flowers are in full bloom. Tomorrow, we should worship the heaven and earth in the garden. The three of us will become brothers, work together, and then we can do great things."
Xuande and Yun Chang replied in unison: "This is very good."
The next day, in Taoyuan, he prepared the black cow and white horse sacrifice ceremony. The three of them burned incense and bowed again and said, "I miss Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, although they have different surnames, since they have become brothers, they will work together to save the needy and help the danger.
Report to the country and to rest in peace with the common people. We do not seek to be born on the same day of the same year, but only wish to die on the same day of the same month of the same year.
The Emperor and Empress Dowager, who really understands this heart, is unfaithful and ungrateful, and the heavens and man are killed together!"
After swearing, I will be appointed Liu Bei as my brother, Guan Yu is the next, and Zhang Fei is the second brother..."
After Guo Hao's story was told, Zhao Kuangyin had not yet reacted, but he liked reading and knew about history, but he didn't know that there was such a story, and what did Guo Hao tell this story mean?
"Brother Guo, I know the history of the Three Kingdoms, but I don't know that Liu, Guan and Zhang have such an experience. It sounds like they are unparalleled!"
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has not appeared yet, so it is normal for Zhao Kuangyin to have no feelings. Guo Hao once thought about writing about the military tactics in the Three Kingdoms, and thought it would be fine.
Telling this story is just a throwaway, and his purpose is Zhao Kuangyin!
"Brother Zhao, in fact, this story was also made up by me. No one knows whether it has happened in history. Look at Taoyuan, can we be like Liu Guanzhang, and we have a fate to meet in Xiangzhou, so how about becoming brothers!"
When Zhao Kuangyin heard that Guo Hao was about to become a sworn brother, he looked happy. He had seen Guo Hao's ability, and the matter of Doctor Ding also proved Guo Hao's character. Guo Hao wanted to become a sworn brother, but he could not ask for it.
"Of course, in fact, Zhao had this intention for a long time, I'm afraid Brother Guo wouldn't look down on Zhao, so he never dared to say it."
To be honest, Zhao Kuangyin came from a military family and always thought he was a rough man, while Guo Hao always regarded himself as a literati, which made him think that the two were not the same person.
When Li Fu heard that the two were about to become sworn brothers, he was happy for Guo Hao and took out the incense candles that had been prepared long ago. However, Guo Fu was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to say anything.
The two came to Taoyuan and Guo Hao asked, "Brother Zhao, how old are you this year?"
Zhao Kuangyin heard this and said: "I am born in the second year of Tiancheng, Later Tang Dynasty. I am twenty-one years old this year. I should be younger than Brother Guo."
Guo Hao blushed when he heard this and said, "Well, I am Tiancheng annually, and I am indeed one year older than you..."
Since Zhao Kuangyin had misunderstood, Guo Hao simply made mistakes. Anyway, he is old and has no ID card these days. As long as Guo Hao doesn't say it, no one will know.
"Sure enough, I thought Brother Guo was different from ordinary people before. Today, you and I became sworn brothers, and you will be my eldest brother in the future!"
"Okay, today you and I will become sworn brothers, and in the future you will be my brother!"
The two knelt on the ground and worshiped the world. Guo Hao endured the joy in his heart and became brothers with Zhao Kuangyin.
"Being brothers with Lao Zhao, the most time since then, I will be a prince. As long as I can't do too much, I will be stable in this life!"
The two of them got up from the ground, Zhao Kuangyin was so happy that he shouted seriously: "Brother!"
Although Guo Hao felt guilty, his face was still as usual. He held his hand and smiled, "Brother!"
The two walked out of Taoyuan and met with Li Fu. Guo Hao said, "My brother may not know that Fu'er is actually the daughter of the leader of the Beggars' Sect. He escaped from the South with me.
And I am the owner of Juxian Pavilion in Nanguo. The head of the Chen family is my good friend. I will recommend you in the future. As long as we arrive in Kaifeng, I can mobilize the Chen family's resources. At that time, Brother Zhao can support you whatever he wants!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed. In fact, he had always wanted to do something, but he was suffering from no one's support. Now that Guo Hao is here, the next road will be much easier.
"Okay, we're happy today. Let's go back and have a good meal and try to get drunk before we can stop!"
"I will stop drunk!"
The two brothers walked back with their arms around each other, Li Fu and Guo Fu followed behind, and Guo Fu whispered: "Why do you value this kid so much with this identity as a young master? I don't think he has anything special about him."
Li Fu heard this and said, "You can't speak nonsense. Brother Hao has his own ideas for doing things. Since he values that Mr. Zhao so much, it means that he has extraordinary features, but we just don't know!"
