Chapter 22 Confidentially, Chen Yong as matchmaker
Zhao Hai replied: "Brother Xian, you and I can talk by candlelight at night, and we can talk about anything. But she, Chen Yili, is still a young girl who has not yet left the government. Isn't it okay for you to make the decision for her like this? Brother Wei is interested in her.
, but no matter what, I have to make her agree. I will never do anything that takes advantage of others!"
Chen Yong said: "Brother, since I dare to speak, it's because I have seen that she is also interested in eldest brother. When eldest brother was injured for her and died of his injuries, you didn't see that she cried so much that she turned into tears.
Yes. You two are in love with each other. You love me and I agree with you. I am the matchmaker!"
Zhao Hai's face was glowing red, and he had obviously been attracted to Chen Yili for a long time. After all, Chen Yili was a famous beauty in Changshan State. If it hadn't been for this change in the family, he probably would never have interacted with him in this life.
. If I can really hold this beauty back, I, Zhao Hai, will definitely love her for the rest of my life!
Zhao Hai was already satisfied. He was very satisfied with Xiandi as a matchmaker. He looked at Chen Yong and said: "Xiandi, you are the matchmaker for me. Put it aside for the time being. I will talk openly and honestly with you."
Last conversation! I’m going to ask you questions, but you have to answer them truthfully?”
Chen Yong was confused and couldn't figure out what his elder brother would talk to him about. But he still sat down respectfully and said: "Brother, if you have anything to do, please talk to me face to face. I will definitely tell you everything you know, and you will never say anything."
Hidden from big brother!"
Zhao Hai said: "Brother Xian, these 1,200 military officers under your command are all Yellow Turbans! What do you think of my elder brother's vision? I am right or wrong!"
Chen Yong was shocked and asked quickly: "Brother, how did you tell that they were indeed all members of the Yellow Turban Army before? I also specifically asked them all to take off the Yellow Turbans and not to take them out again, so as not to let outsiders
Seeing it caused misunderstanding."
Zhao Hai replied: "I also know that you have surrendered them not long ago, but I don't know what method Xiandi used to make them all sincerely submit to you. But their life must have been very difficult before, so that way
The Yellow Turban is not willing to be thrown away. Since it is not willing to be thrown away, it is inevitable that someone will take it out and use it accidentally.
It's not worth mentioning, but when Liu Xing and I led them to kill the Montenegrin Army on the South Road, we found that some of the people following us would take out a yellow scarf and wipe the sweat from their heads and faces. And not only
One person has this habit. And the only army that uses the Yellow Turbans is Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army, so I asked this question in person."
Naturally, Chen Yong would not hide this matter, so he informed Zhao Hai of the process of surrendering the Yellow Turban Army. He also told his elder brother about his mentor, Taoist Zuo Ci, who used Taoism to transform military rations, fine wine, and cured meat. But Taoism
Techniques cannot endlessly transform physical objects, because these things need to be purchased with money.
Chen Yong also told his elder brother all the difficulties he encountered, saying that he couldn't even provide them with weapons, let alone replace the equipment. That's why he was so strapped, and some people used yellow scarves as hand towels to wipe sweat. But
I went to Youzhou this time, and my determination to fight against Wuhuan was very firm, and I had no doubts about it!
Zhao Hai looked at Chen Yong and said: "Brother, if that's the case, how about I give you a generous gift?"
Chen Yong asked in surprise: "Brother, what is the generous gift you want to give to your wise brother?"
Zhao Hai replied: "Brother Xian, since your army is short of clothes and lacks adequate weapons and equipment, how about I give you a batch of military pay?"
Chen Yong hurriedly replied: "Brother, you can't do it. This military salary is not a small amount. I don't dare to ask my eldest brother to contribute money! I have a team of 1,200 people. Even if I wipe out all your wealth,
It’s not enough!”
Zhao Hai replied: "Brother Xian, I have already discussed with the merchants and gentry in Fangshan County. The gold and silver each of our families has given us is to prepare military pay for my dear brother! If you had not come to Fangshan County to eliminate
After defeating Sun Qing's Black Mountain Army, we all don't know how many more times we will be exploited by him. Therefore, based on emotion and reason, these gold and silver virtuous brothers should be accepted!"
Chen Yong replied: "No way, no way! How dare you do this? The reason why I sent troops to Fangshan County this time is because I heard that Sun Qing's Black Mountain Army only has a few hundred people, while my Yellow Turban Army has a thousand and two people."
A hundred people are enough to compete with him, so they sent troops to rescue people.
Moreover, by taking down Sun Qing's 500 elite soldiers, we gained 500 more horses and so much equipment, all of which are urgently needed by our army. That's why I told the two generals Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang to let them and
I will go to Fangshan County together to kill Sun Qing. Now we have obtained so many weapons, horses, and military supplies, which are almost enough to equip our army."
Zhao Hai replied: "My dear brother, the eldest brother said that he needs to prepare a team of troops to kill Sun Qing. How can it be so easy? It will take at least one or two years to prepare and form combat power, right? There is another one
In two years, don't you know what Sun Qing will do to our Fangshan County?
Therefore, all the money that we have contributed to my brother is used as military pay. This is something we are all willing to do. Brother, please don’t be polite anymore. I have already discussed it with them. You can rest assured and give the gold and silver to me first.
Take it."
Chen Yong replied: "Brother, I came to Fangshan County to kill the enemy this time. I came here for my younger sister Chen Yiran, and to save her two relatives. Now her two relatives have been saved, and her
My sister Chen Yili has also found a good man like you. You two are in love, and being able to truly be together has solved my worries. This gain is already huge, and if I am greedy for this money, it will be too much.
Already."
Zhao Hai replied: "The matter between Chen Yili and I is still in conflict, but don't worry, no matter whether we succeed or not, I can leave it to my eldest brother to take care of the Chen family. You can
Just go to Youzhou with peace of mind and resist the Wuhuan Rebellion. There are still these Yellow Turbans that you need to worry about, and try to make them truly become the bodyguards of your virtuous brother!
In this case, brother will prepare some military supplies for you. I will find a way to equip your army well so that their combat power can be further improved. So that when they enter Youzhou, they will have a
The power of war! Realize your virtuous brother’s dream of protecting the family and the country!”
Chen Yong said: "Thank you very much, big brother! Even my mentor Zuo Ci couldn't do anything about military supplies, but big brother is so powerful. He was able to solve my little brother's urgent need so quickly. I, Chen Yong, would like to thank big brother first!"
"
Zhao Hai replied: "Brother, what are you talking about? The eldest brother is a businessman, so it is easier to handle these things. And your mentor Zuo Cixian is an expert in the world.
It's not even remotely strong, it's not even close to the same level.
Without his help today, Miss Chen and I would both be dead. How can we talk about a match made in heaven? A thousand-mile marriage is tied by a thread? At most, it would just be a ghost relationship. How could we brothers be so sincere and talk freely? So.
Based on this alone, I will spare no effort to help you upgrade your equipment, so you don’t have to be polite to me anymore."
Chen Yong said: "Thank you very much, brother. You look like a blessed person, so how could you die early? Even if you don't meet the wise brother, and without the appearance of my mentor Zuo Ci, I believe that brother will still encounter misfortune.
Turn good fortune into good fortune, and turn disaster into good fortune! But if you can't get to know a hero like Big Brother, life will inevitably be too boring!"
The two looked at each other and laughed heartily. In this laughter, the relationship between the two invisibly became much closer. Then the two talked about many topics, including their views on today's world and their views on the world.
Understanding the actual dynamics and worrying about the displacement of the people, the two of them felt that it was too late to meet each other.
The two people also agree on the concept of "cultivating oneself, harmonizing the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world". Chen Yong also told his eldest brother what happened to his "Liu family". He is now alone, with only his loyal servant Liu Xing to accompany him, but
I still have to defend the territory for the sake of the Han Dynasty! Although I have the blood of the "Han clan", I can't use my identity to recruit troops, unite aristocratic families, and achieve great things...
Zhao Hai further strengthened his determination to help Chen Yong. He believed that the murder of "Liu Ji" and his family would eventually come to light. If Emperor Ling Liu Hong did not rehabilitate "Liu Ji", the next emperor would also be killed because of Chen Yong.
Chen Yong's meritorious deeds, and redressing the grievances of "Liu Ji" and his family. The more I take care of Chen Yong now, the richer the rewards I will receive in the future.
This also strengthened Zhao Hai's determination to become Jinlan's best friend with Chen Yong, and Chen Yong had already wished for it. The two chatted more and more speculatively that night. In the end, both of them were sleepy and still couldn't get enough.
He slept for a whole night. It showed that both of them recognized each other and trusted each other wholeheartedly.
Early the next morning, everyone had breakfast at Zhao Hai's house. Both Zhao and his wife cared deeply about the three girls of the Chen family, and they were even more concerned about the fact that Taoist Zuo Ci had traveled dozens of miles yesterday to save their son Zhao Hai.
Life, tears of gratitude.
During the meal, Chen Yiran ran to his elder brother Chen Yong. In front of Taoist Zuo Ci, he expressed his desire to see his father again. Taoist Zuo Ci agreed, but not until seven days later. Chen Yiran
Yong looked at Chen Yiran's expectant eyes and agreed to let the army be stationed in Fangshan County for a few more days.
Zhao Hai naturally wants Chen Yong to stay in Fangshan County for a few more days, because to prepare military supplies, he needs to use all kinds of connections, not just money. What's more, when chatting last night, Chen Yong couldn't forget the giant shield.
You still need to find a craftsman to build it yourself.
With the identity of my virtuous brother, "a clan member of the Han Dynasty", I can make the merchants and gentry in Fangshan County more willing to give more money to support Chen Yong. This identity cannot be stated clearly, so naturally it will only be revealed to the ten people who met last night.
Two businessmen and gentry who share the same adversity communicate with each other. They all know what should be done and what should not be done. With everyone's brainstorming, I believe they will think about the problem more comprehensively than they can on their own.
A detective report came in. After a night of investigation, it was ensured that there were no remnants of the Black Mountain Army in Fangshan County. Coupled with the full assistance of many merchants and gentry, the county had naturally been thoroughly investigated. This also allowed
Chen Yong's army can rest peacefully in Fangshan County.
Zhao Hai went out to prepare military supplies, and Chen Yong also specially invited the Chen sisters and invited the three of them to the living room. The maid first served tea and snacks, and poured tea for all four of them before they retreated.
Stepping aside, Chen Yong told him that he wanted to be a matchmaker and wanted to find a good family for Chen Yili, and that person was none other than Zhao Hai and Zhao Zihu.
When Chen Yong said this, he kept staring at Chen Yili's eyes, just to see if she was willing to have this marriage. No matter how much he wanted to promote his eldest brother's marriage, he couldn't force it on others? What's more, Miss Chen Yili
