"I used to follow General Li to attack Chu. After the victory in Surabaya, I led the army back to Qin and stayed overnight outside Fengyi."
"On that night, I saw in my dream that there were three stars shining brightly among the abundance."
"I rode forward to take a look at the three stars, but in my dream I couldn't control the horse. Instead, I rode westward. The three bright stars followed me to the west and entered the Qin Pass."
In the military tent, Zhao Tuo sat high on the throne and talked eloquently.
Everyone in the tent was stunned at what he said.
Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "After I woke up from the dream, I used the sun to divine based on this dream, and the result was that the three stars were three people between Fengfei. They each have their own abilities and should be heroes for a while. I need to be the guide. , enter Guanzhong from the west, and then serve the Great Qin!"
"It's a pity that the Japanese man's skills were limited and he couldn't divine the names of the people corresponding to the three stars. He only knew that one of them was in Fengyi and the other two were in Peiyi. At that time, I had just led the army to finish the battle of Surabaya, and I was afraid that there were still people behind me. The Chu army came to pursue him, but for the sake of the lives of his soldiers, they had no choice but to leave in a hurry."
"After returning to Qin, I did not forget this matter. At that time, a man named Lu Wan from Fengyi joined the army. I asked him about the heroes in Fengfei and learned that Xiao He was the only one who was talented in Fengyi. , I performed a divination based on this name, and the result was successful! So when I led my army through Fengyi again, I sent Lu Wan to visit the Xiao family, just because of this matter."
Zhao Tuo was eloquent, casting a mysterious veil over his quest for talents.
In addition to Xiao He, Zhao Tuo said that he later found a powerful old man to conduct divination, and the divination revealed two people in Pei County. One was like a strong man slaughtering a dog, and the other was like the double image of two people.
The first elephant represents the person who kills the dog.
The second image, the double image of two people, is in pairs. Double, the right person is Cao Ye, so this person should be Cao's family.
After that, Zhao Tuo asked someone to investigate the dog-slaying warriors in Peiyi and the capable men of the Cao family.
Finally, he identified Fan Kuai and Cao Shen, so he traveled thousands of miles to recruit three people.
Sanxing accompanied him and entered Qinguan in the west.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent was silenced.
Xiao He and Cao Shen looked at each other with surprise and doubt in their eyes.
Although the Xiao family and the Cao family were not considered to be top wealthy families in Fengpei, they were still wealthy families. The family had enough money for them to travel and study literature and calligraphy.
Especially Xiao He, who likes Huang Lao, has studied some ancient classics quite a lot, and has heard many similar stories when he went out to study.
Wu Ding dreamed of a sage at night, holding Fu Shu among the editions.
When Xibo went hunting for divination, he met Lu Shang on the Yangtze River on the Wei River.
This kind of thing has happened since ancient times and has been passed down from generation to generation. It has precedents and is something that people of this era can accept.
Now the general said that he had three stars in his night dream, and the divination said that Feng Fei, the three wise men, would follow him into the pass and serve the Qin Dynasty.
If this matter is false, Zhao Tuo is the top noble of Qin State and a famous general of Qin State in the world. With his status, it is impossible for him to bring this kind of thing to these three common people. Are you kidding me to create such a battle?
After traveling thousands of miles to send people to conquer, the Sishui County Lieutenant personally invited Xiao He and three wealthy Chu people with no reputation to enter the pass. After arriving in Beidi County, the general even lowered his status and treated them warmly.
All these gestures show that this thing is definitely not false, at least this dream definitely exists!
Otherwise, the general's head is filled with water, so what happened?
As for whether the three stars are the three of them.
Xiao He and Cao Shen are both people who consider themselves capable. They are now over 30 years old and have not yet made any great achievements. The most powerful Xiao He is just a small official in the county. He laments privately that he has nowhere to use his talents. That is also Something.
General Zhao dreamed of three stars at night, and the divination said that the three of them were wise men.
Under such circumstances, how can people like them who are conceited about their talents deny that even Cao Shen was secretly happy in his heart? This is an opportunity to take off!
Emotionally, they would rather believe that they are Samsung Sages and cannot deny it.
But in reality, the general spent a lot of effort to conquer them. At this place, at this time, you dare to deny that you are not the person the general dreamed about. Who dares to say such a thing?
Xiao He and Cao Shen looked at each other. Regardless of whether this matter was true or false, the general said this, and they had only one choice.
Take the oath of service!
The two people quickly fell to the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Tuo.
"The great general, Xiao He is willing to serve the general!"
"Cao Shen has heard of the general's reputation a long time ago and is willing to trust him with his life, so that he can be driven as he pleases!"
"me too!"
Fan Kuai called out and followed the gestures of Xiao He and others to salute.
"Fan Kuai is willing to serve the general!"
Fan Kuai knew that Xiao He and Cao Shen were smarter than him, so there was absolutely no problem in following these two people's answers.
Moreover, he was very grateful for the general's appreciation, and coupled with the so-called night dream of three stars, Fan Kuai sincerely surrendered.
"Hahaha, please get up, three of you. From today on, you will all be my arms, Zhao Tuo!"
Zhao Tuo saw a gleam in his eyes when he saw the three people bowing to him.
These three civil servants and generals from the early Han Dynasty completely became Zhao Tuo's people.
Zhao Tuo promoted them from the bottom, conquered thousands of miles, and welcomed them with the dignity of generals. This was a kindness to them.
After the conquest, Xiao He and others will bear the mark of Zhao Tuo. In Qin's continuous law, it can be said that one will be prosperous and one will suffer.
If the three of them commit a serious crime, Zhao Tuo will be implicated and punished, just like Fan Ju was implicated by Zheng Anping and Zhao Gao was implicated by Fan Yi in the past.
If something happened to Zhao Tuo, Xiao He and the other three would not be able to escape, just like when Lao Ai fell and three thousand of his guests suffered together, their homes were ransacked and they were exiled to Shu.
With Zhao Tuo here, the three of them have a bright future.
Zhao Tuo fell, and none of the three of them could escape.
This is the binding of interests, which is more effective than kindness.
And when Zhao Tuo brought up the matter of dreaming about three stars at night, he even used metaphysical things to emotionally bind the three of them.
In this era when everyone, from the emperor to the common people in Guizhou, must perform divination and pray to gods, no one will be indifferent to this, and it will always have some impact on their hearts.
Otherwise, there would be no such things as the roar of foxes over bonfires, the passing of messages from the belly of fish, or the killing of the son of the red emperor by the son of the white emperor. Most people would be fine with this.
The kindness of appreciation, the binding of interests, and the emotional fetters.
Zhao Tuo's three-pronged approach has firmly grasped Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Fan Kuai in his hands and will let them drive them in the future.
However, it is not appropriate to spread the news about this Samsung Dream now. Fortunately, Zhao Tuo has already made arrangements. Apart from Zhao Tuo and Xiao He, only Chen Ping, who is also a confidant, is in the tent at this moment.
Just give the order and the matter will not be leaked, and there will be no hidden dangers.
Chen Ping on the side looked dumbfounded.
He didn't know whether what the general said just now was true or false. If it was true, it would be so magical that it would be recorded in history books and passed down to future generations.
If it is false, then the general's method of controlling people's hearts is simply appalling.
Even Chen Ping had to accept defeat.
At this time, Zhao Tuo did not pretend to be a general. He stepped forward and helped Xiao He and others up one by one, and encouraged and comforted them respectively.
He wants to train these three people as confidants, and his attitude towards them must be different from normal subordinates such as Wang Li and Guo Qing. They must be more easy-going and kind. Only in this way can Xiao He and others become his true confidants.
"Fan Kuai, what a strong man, you will become a fierce general under my command in the future!"
Zhao Tuo patted Fan Kuai's thick arm and praised him.
Fan Kuai patted his chest and said, "I will hit whoever the general wants me to hit in the future, just like slaughtering a dog with a knife!"
"good!"
Zhao Tuo burst out laughing, encouraged Xiao He and Cao Shen, and then asked people to serve the dishes and start the banquet.
With all three heroes under his command, Zhao Tuo felt very high-spirited.
"All the civil servants and powerful generals are in place. All we have to do next is wait for the army to gather, and then we can send troops outside the fortress to attack the barbarians in the north!"
