Before the bamboo raft reached the shore, the tallest and tallest barbarian jumped off the bamboo raft first and waded onto the rocky beach as if walking on flat ground. Behind him, the other barbarian soldiers jumped into the water one after another. Chen Zhen on the raft was stunned for a while, and could only reluctantly wade ashore carrying his clothes.
"Your Majesty, that is our Zhennan General." Chen Zhen ran after Shamoko and pointed at Liu Feng, who was standing on horseback and dressed in silver robes.
Shamoko wiped the rain off his face and glanced at him with a pair of tiger eyes. When that heroic figure came into his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart: He didn't expect that Liu Feng was so magnanimous. He really was. Somewhat heroic.
Although the barbarians all had similar attires, their strong bearing was inherent in them. Liu Feng recognized Shamoko among them at a glance.
At that moment, he jumped off his horse and, accompanied by Chen Dao and others, walked onto the beach. He cupped his hands towards Shamoke and said, "I have admired Brother Sha's reputation for a long time. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary."
The king is the self-proclaimed title given to the leader by the barbarians. Liu Feng is a prince in the town. In the future, Samoko may be his subordinate. Of course, he cannot call him the king, and he doesn't know how to call him appropriately, so he simply calls him. "Brother Sha".
However, as soon as these two words came out of his mouth, Liu Feng suddenly felt that this title was particularly joyful. Fortunately, he did not call him "Senior Brother Sha", otherwise he would definitely laugh in public.
"Are you Liu Feng?" Shamoko stepped forward and asked without courtesy.
He was extremely tall and tall, half a head taller than Liu Feng. When he stood in front of Liu Feng, he looked like a dark iron tower.
Liu Feng had known that the barbarians didn't know etiquette, so he didn't think it was strange. He smiled and replied: "That's right. Brother Sha, it's raining heavily here. Let's go into the city to talk."
While speaking, Liu Feng had to show that he was sick and weak.
Samoko raised his head and glanced at Anhua City in the distance, and immediately shook his head, "What city are you entering? The wind, rain, thunder and lightning here are so magnificent. It just so happens that you and I have become sworn brothers."
Samoko is not stupid either. He is also afraid that Liu Feng will be deceived, so he refuses to enter the city. It is close to the waterside. If there is a change, he can quickly evacuate by water.
¡®This barbarian named Sha is not stupid either. ¡¯
After Liu Feng thought about it secretly, he ordered the left and right people to put up bamboo awnings to protect themselves from the rain.
While the soldiers were busy, Shamoko asked loudly in front of everyone: "General Liu, I want to ask you personally, will the conditions you agreed to be fulfilled?"
The barbarians are not so particular and can say whatever they think. Although it is a bit straightforward, Liu Feng appreciates his straightforwardness.
Liu Feng then said seriously: "I, Liu Feng, have always kept my word. I swear to God that I will never go back on what I promised."
"Very good, I like people who keep their promises, General Liu. I'm very happy to be sworn in with you." Shamoko's tone was no longer so stiff at this time.
While he was talking, the tent had been set up, and Liu Feng's subordinates were preparing to set up the table, burn incense, and prepare for all other matters of sworn brotherhood.
Samoko looked impatiently, waved his hand and said: "There is no need to go to such trouble, just go and pour two bowls of wine."
Liu Feng hated complicated etiquette the most. Since Shamoko liked simplicity, he naturally wanted it, so he ordered his left and right people to follow it.
With two bowls of wine placed on the table, Shamoko stepped forward and suddenly pulled out the dagger without any warning.
From the moment they arrived, the expressions of Liu Feng's soldiers suddenly changed. They were afraid that Shamoko would suddenly become malicious. When they were about to take action, Liu Feng secretly winked and suppressed them.
Samoko did not commit murder, but used the dagger to lightly cut his arm. A wound was immediately made, but he did not even frown.
Samoko moved his arm in front of the case, and dripped his own blood into two bowls of wine. When he raised his arm, the barbarian soldiers behind him stepped forward and wrapped his wound with cloth.
Like an unconscious steel warrior, Shamoko looked at Liu Feng with a calm expression and raised his eyes, meaning: It's your turn.
It turns out that he wanted to make an alliance based on blood
Liu Feng understood, and with a faint smile, he cut his arm with his sword and dripped the blood into two bowls of wine.
Shamoko picked up a bowl of wine and knelt down on the dirt floor. Liu Feng followed suit. The two raised their bowls to face the thundering sky.
"As the gods of heaven and earth bear witness, today I, Samoko, and Liu Feng have become brothers. We will eat meat together, drink wine together, and avenge our enemies together. Brothers will live and die together. If there is any violation, we will be struck by lightning from heaven."
Although Samoko¡¯s oath was crudely worded, it was said boldly and boldly.
This?The wind and rain became more intense, thunder rolled in the sky, and lightning flashed like a rainbow, as if the heavens were also aware of it, and specially presented the drum music of nature for this sworn bonding ceremony.
Liu Feng's mood was agitated, and he said boldly: "Heaven serves as a warning. Today, I, Liu Feng, and Shamoke are sworn brothers. From now on, we will share blessings and share hardships. If we violate our oath, we will be punished by heaven and earth."
After saying the oath, the two looked at each other, then picked up the blood wine in their hands, raised their heads and drank it down.
The barbarian soldiers who were watching all cheered and cheered when they saw that their king and Liu Feng had become brothers, but they didn't know what they were shouting.
After the ceremony, Liu Feng asked about his age and knew that Shamoke was older than him. He was about to call him elder brother, but Shamoke said: "Although we are brothers, you will be the master of Wuling in the future. I am the master of Wuling." If you work for me, I¡¯ll be considered your subordinate, so I¡¯ll call you big brother.¡±
Samoko looks rude, but he is also quite attentive. It is really valuable to think of this section.
"How is this possible? Seniority is the most important thing, so I should be the younger brother." Liu Feng still wanted to refuse.
Shamoko said decisively: "No matter how old or young you are, as long as they are brothers, it doesn't matter who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother. That's it, big brother."
When it came to this offer, Liu Feng stopped refusing and just said, "Good brother."
"It's so happy, it's so happy." Samoko jumped up, smiling happily. He quickly helped Liu Feng up from the ground and said with a smile: "Brother, you are sick. Get up quickly and let me walk like this with your illness." I¡¯m so sorry to have to go all this way.¡±
The temperament of the barbarians is also really interesting. They were still wary strangers before, but once they became brothers, they immediately became cordial and enthusiastic, as if they were a real family.
"Being able to become sworn sworn friends with a hero like my virtuous brother, I will have to climb through thousands of mountains and rivers."
These words were half sincere. If Liu Feng had formed an alliance with Shamoko before, it was just to take advantage of the Wuxi soldiers. But now that he saw Shamoko, he did have some heroic spirit. I feel a little more appreciative in my heart.
"Brother, how did you and Liu Bei get into trouble?" Shamoko couldn't help but ask.
Liu Feng then told all the previous things. Shamoko felt as if he felt the same thing, and became more and more angry and cursed: "I have known for a long time that the more benevolent and righteous a person is, the more vicious he is in his heart. . Don¡¯t worry, brother, your enemy is my enemy, Shamoko. You tell me when you want me to raise an army."
Shamoko's anger made Liu Feng feel more confident, and he said: "If possible, I hope that as soon as my brother returns to Wuxi, he can immediately raise troops to attack Linyuan. Linyuan's soldiers are less than three thousand. , once the wise brother raises an army, Guan Yu of Nanjun will definitely send a large army to rescue him. At this time, I hope that my eldest brother will not confront him head-on, but try to keep the enemy in Linyuan as long as possible. The longer the better."
"No problem, I will summon all the troops to send troops as soon as I get back." Brother Shamo answered cheerfully, but changed the topic and said: "But eldest brother should know that Guan Yu is a powerful character. His soldiers are as powerful as The soldiers and armor are all stronger than those of our Five Rivers tribes, so it¡¯s better if he doesn¡¯t come in person, but if he comes in person to rescue us, I¡¯m afraid we may not be his opponent.¡±
Although Samoko is a hero, he is not an ordinary man, and he is still a little afraid of Guan Yu.
"Don't worry, dear brother, as long as you can hold Guan Yu back as much as possible, I will definitely send troops to help him when his energy is about to run out. Then you and I will attack Guan Yu from both sides and defeat him. Moreover, after I return to Yiyang, I will also I will order General Huang to send a batch of weapons and armor to you as soon as possible, which I believe will help increase the combat power of the Wuxi tribes."
Liu Feng only said that he would send troops to help, but did not explicitly state that his real target was Nanjun. After all, such a confidential matter could not be disclosed to him easily.
When Shamoko heard that Liu Feng promised to send troops to help and was also willing to provide weapons and armor, his confidence immediately doubled and he said happily: "With your words, big brother, I feel relieved. Okay, let's join forces as brothers to give that pretentious red-faced The monkey gave me a big gift, haha¡ª¡ª"
¡¡¡¡¡¡
Ten days later, Jiangling.
Eight huge torches make the lobby warm and bright. On the huge table, there are two candles as thick as a child's arms on the left and right.
Under the flickering candlelight, Guan Yu, who was standing behind the case, had a chiseled face that looked extremely deep. On the weapon behind him, lay the world-famous Qinglong sword.
Snapped
The urgent report on the bamboo slip in Guan Yu's hand was thrown on the case. The slight sound made the bodies of Wen and Wu on the left and right tremble slightly.
That was a request for help from Fan Miao, the prefect of Wuling. Three days ago, the barbarians from the Wuxi tribes rose up and rebelled.The barbarian king Shamoko led 20,000 barbarian troops, all the way north along the Yuan River, and even defeated Yuanling and other counties.
"Not long after the second batch of armies entered Sichuan, this group of barbarians openly rebelled and dared to attack the seat of Wuling County. They were really arrogant. It seems that I have to personally lead the army to defeat this group of barbarians and let them see what I, Guan Yu, can do. "
In Guan Yu's opinion, the rebellion of the Wuxi Barbarians was because Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun led a large number of troops into Sichuan, and the remaining troops in Jingzhou were sharply reduced, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble. Guan Yu felt that it was necessary to teach these barbarians a lesson in person, so as to demonstrate his prestige at this time and establish his authority for guarding Jingzhou in the future.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man from the next step came out and said loudly: "The general is concerned about the safety of Jingzhou. How can he leave Jiangling because of the rebellion of the barbarians?".
