One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 222 Plum Garden Bonding

"Brother Qin, since Zhao Yun came to Bingzhou with you, I have admired all your deeds. Zhao Yun is willing to follow you and do the work of dogs and horses." Zhao Yun said loudly.

Xu Huang also said: "It's the same for XX. Tianyu, although you are younger than XX, XX obeys you. My lord, please accept this reckless person XX."

"Don't be like this, both of you!" Qin Yi's eyes were red, and he stood up immediately and said, "The two of you didn't think that Qin was inferior, and you resolutely followed Qin to Bingzhou. Qin will never forget this friendship. Qin Since the beginning of coming to Bingzhou, I have decided to advance and retreat with the two, share honor and disgrace, always regard the two as brothers, never dare to wishful thinking, and be the master of the two."

Xu Huang said: "Tianyu, these are two different things. Now, you have the land of three counties, and you can be regarded as a small prince. Your subordinates are no longer just me and Zilong. There are no rules in everything, Since the two of us are your earliest subordinates, others have already recognized you as the lord, but the two of us do not recognize the lord, how do others see me and Zilong?"

Qin Yi hurried forward, supported Xu Huang with both hands, and said, "Brother Gongming is overthinking, the friendship between the three of us is not comparable to other people, please hurry up!"

Xu Huang couldn't insist.

Zhao Yundao: "Brother Qin, asking you to be my lord is a decision I made immediately with Brother Gongming, so you don't have to refuse."

Qin Yi really had no choice but to suddenly feel blessed. His eyes lit up and he said: "Gongming, Zilong, you should stop worshiping me as your lord. Why don't you and I become brothers of the opposite sex? From now on, we will enjoy the blessings together." It’s hard to share the same responsibility.”

When Zhao Yun and Xu Huang heard this, they exchanged glances, and Xu Huang immediately said, "That's very good!"

Zhao Yun also nodded and said, "If you don't give up, Zilong is willing to regard you as your elder brother."

"Hahaha, those two please hurry up. Choosing a day is worse than hitting the sun. The moonlight is very good tonight. There is a plum garden in the backyard of the county government office. The three of us will be in the plum garden. How about worshiping the moon?" Qin Yi laughed and proposed.

"Okay, let's have a three-way friendship in Meiyuan!" Xu Huang stood up and said.

Zhao Yun also stood up and nodded heavily.

Qin Yi thought to himself: Liu Guanzhang is a three-way sworn brother in Taoyuan, we come to a three-way sworn brotherhood in Meiyuan, isn't this a cottage?
………………

Just do what you say, Qin Yi immediately ordered someone to set up an incense table in the plum garden, and he, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yun came to the plum garden afterwards.

The plum garden in the backyard of the county government office is not big, just like three or four quarters.The plum trees planted are also very sparse, about a dozen.There is a pavilion in the middle of the plum garden, and the incense table is placed in the pavilion.

On a midwinter night, the red plum blossoms bloom and the garden is filled with fragrance. The moon hangs in the sky and shines brightly on the ground.

After retreating from the crowd, Qin Yi, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yun knelt down in front of the incense table facing the moon. Qin Yi was in the middle, Xu Huang was on the left, and Zhao Yun was on the right.

"I, Xu Huang, Xu Gongming..."

"I, Qin Yi, Qin Tianyu..."

"I, Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong..."

The three of them announced their names, and then said together: "Tonight we swear to the moon, we will become brothers with different surnames from now on. We will share blessings, share hardships, and share weal and woe. We have three surnames in this life, and we will share the same parents in the next life. We will never abandon them in all our lives." If you violate this oath, you will be struck by lightning, and you will die!"

After the three of them said their oaths, they worshiped the moon three times together.People often use "eight worship friends" to refer to sworn brothers and sisters, and many people think that it takes eight worships to become sworn brothers.In fact, in ancient times, eight bows refers to the formal etiquette for children to visit their parents, grandparents and other elders, which is only one bow less than visiting the emperor.The acquaintance of eight obeisances, that is to say, people who are sworn brothers will perform eight obeisances when they meet each other's elders, which means that they will be like brothers and sisters from now on.

The oath of sworn brotherhood was thought up by Qin Yi.

When the three of them discussed the oath, Xu Huang said that most people who are sworn should say, "I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day."

Qin Yi said, this oath is too false.Not to mention that I have never seen sworn brothers who died in the same year, the same month, and on the same day, even if it happened, it would be too inappropriate.It would be fine if all three of them died well, but if someone died in an accident, would the other two also commit suicide?Besides, we are living in troubled times, and no one can tell whether we will die in battle in the future. If the three of us die in the same year, the same month, and the same day, there will be no one to avenge.

Xu Huang and Zhao Yun felt that what Qin Yi said made sense, so Qin Yi drew up a set of oaths himself.

After the oath was completed, the three of them bowed to each other in the order of year and Geng.Xu Huang is the leader, Qin Yi is the second, and Zhao Yun is the youngest.

"Brother, third brother, let's go and continue drinking!" After the ceremony, Qin Yi took Xu Huang with one hand and Zhao Yun with the other and returned to the second hall.

Drinking together again, the mood of the three of them has changed a lot.The words became more affectionate and casual.

"Eldest brother, third brother, now we have occupied three counties and have formed an alliance with Yang Feng of the Baibo Army. Where do you think we should go from here?" After drinking a few glasses of wine, Qin Yi turned the topic to the future development. superior.

Xu Huang was already a little bit drunk, and said carelessly, "Second Brother, Brother Yu thinks it's time for you to give a memorial to the emperor in Yecheng, asking him to make you the prefect of Shangdang County."

Qin Yi was stunned: "Brother, this seems too urgent, right? We only occupy three counties in Shangdang County. There are still ten counties that have not been controlled yet."

Xu Huang said: "At the beginning, Zhang Yang only occupied one county of Shangdang County, so he dared to ask the court to make him the governor of Bingzhou. You have already controlled three counties, and you also occupied the eldest son county of Shangdang County. You can be the prefect of the party county."

Zhao Yun also said: "Second brother, what elder brother said is reasonable. Anyway, there is no prefect in Shangdang County now, so you might as well take this position first. We have already demonstrated our strong strength, and then we have a position, maybe many It depends on the county. If someone refuses to accept you as the prefect, even if you take a few more counties, they will still not accept it. In this case, it is better to appoint the prefect first, so as to distinguish between friend and foe."

Qin Yi thought for a while and said: "I still feel that it is too hasty. Although we have occupied the land of three counties, we have not yet had time to digest the land of these three counties because of our speed. If I become Shangdang County Prefect, those who are dissatisfied will immediately raise troops to invade. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it. Just like Luo Kui this time, if I hadn't used a trick to force Yang Feng to form an alliance with me, trap Luo Kui and kill him, we wouldn't have had a real fight. Chances of winning. There is no fluke in the war, like the strategy I used this time, it is absolutely impossible to repeat it next time, and I can only fight with strength."

After a short pause, Qin Yi said again: "Besides, the imperial court of Yecheng is controlled by Yuan Shao. That fellow Yuan Shao has always disliked me, and he will never agree to make me the prefect of Shangdang County."

After hearing Qin Yi's words, both Xu Huang and Zhao Yun fell into deep thought.
