The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 36

Niu Fu's eyelids are always twitching recently and he just had a dream a few days ago, dreaming that Dong Zhuo gave him two peaches for him, Duan Yan and Dong Yue to share, but how to divide the two peaches?
"Mr. Zuo, do you think my dream is weird?" Niu Fu went straight to Zuo Zi after he had the dream.

Zuoz calmly took out a tortoise shell and a few copper coins from his sleeve. He put all the copper coins into the tortoise shell, shook it a few times, and poured the copper coins on the table one by one.

"How?" Niu Fu asked anxiously.

"This hexagram is Dui Xia Li Shang, fire wins gold, outside seeks inside!" Zuo Zi let out a sigh of relief.

"What is the difference between the top and the bottom, fire wins gold, please tell the left army division clearly." Niu Fu said in a daze.

Although Niu Fu believed in the art of numerology, he didn't understand Zuozi's technical terms and could only ask.

"The secret must not be divulged." Zuo Zi only left a prevarication sentence before drifting away.

Niu Fu looked anxiously at Zuo Zi's back, but there was nothing he could do. After this, Niu Fu was a little out of his mind for several days.But Zuo Zi obviously avoided Niu Fu, even if he encountered him, he would reason that he had already explained the hexagram, and if he explained it in detail, he would be punished by God to deal with Niu Fu.

what should I do?I can't force Master Zuozi to ask if he doesn't speak, and it's not credible to find someone else.Niu Fu walked back and forth in his military tent anxiously. Although he had a way to get Zuo Zi to speak, after all, he still needed Zuo Zi to tell fortunes for him in the future. Under the current situation, Niu Fu didn't want to fall out with Zuo Zi.

correct!Niu Fu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

After a while, Niu Fu's soldiers came back with Dongfang Sheng.

I finally thought of me, it seems that the plan has been more than half successful.Dongfang Sheng was secretly happy.

I didn't know anything about Dongfang Sheng when he first came to join me, so it would be best to ask him.Niu Fu also had calculations in his heart.Niu Fu didn't want Li Jue and the others to know too much about him, because he and Li Jue were not on the right track.Dongfang Sheng came to join him, and he was a freshman, so Niu Fu wanted to let him come here because he wanted to try it out.

"I don't know why your lord is looking for me?" Dongfang Sheng asked pretending to be puzzled.

After Niu Fu asked his own soldiers to retreat, he said with a smile, "I didn't come here for anything special, I just wanted to have a drink and chat with you."

Just pretend, then I will accompany you to pretend to be confused.Dongfang Sheng sneered in his heart.

"My lord, please forgive me, I'm afraid that my subordinates have a formation that needs to be practiced recently..." Dongfang Sheng said carefully looking at Niu Fu's expression.

Uh, Niu Fu was a little stunned. He didn't expect Dongfang Sheng to make such a move.

"Don't worry about this. I happen to have a friend here who has some problems and wants to ask me to ask someone. I wonder if Captain Dongfang can help?" rather embarrassing.

"In this case, let's try it out." Dongfang Sheng pretended to be troubled and agreed.

A dead horse is a living horse doctor. Although this Dongfang Sheng seems simple-minded, he might be able to guess Zuo Junshi's riddle.Niu Fu thought to himself.

"My friend got a fortune teller's calculation recently, and the fortune teller only said to him, 'Divide the bottom and leave the top, the fire wins the gold, and the outside seeks the inside." He thought hard and didn't know what this sentence meant, so he came to me I'm asking for help, what's Captain Dongfang's opinion?" Niu Fu grandiosely described Zuo Zi's order as a friend's, and he thought Dongfang Sheng would never know.

Snapped!
Dongfang Sheng suddenly slapped the table and said, "My lord, your friend is in a bloodbath!"

"I...he has a bloody disaster?" Niu Fu almost slipped his mouth, but immediately changed his words: "Tell me, what does this sentence mean?"

"Dui Xia Li Shang means that Ge Hexagram means to get rid of the old, while fire wins gold, and foreign conspiracy means that there are outsiders who want to murder your friend!" Dongfang Sheng said dancing.

This passage was written by Zuo Zi on a note and thrown to him. Dongfang Sheng had already recited it silently in his heart before he set off, so it was naturally very smooth to say it now.

"So that's it!" Niu Fu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

I, Duan Yan and Dong Yue are stationed in three important places outside Chang'an City, and Duan Yan is a complete outsider. As for Dong Yue, although he is a relative of his father-in-law, he is not from his own family after all, so I will take Duan first. Let's simmer!Niu Fu began to think about how to deal with the other two Zhonglang generals Duan Yan and Dong Yue who were stationed outside Chang'an City.

Dongfang Sheng saw that the matter was already half successful, so he got up and resigned Niu Fu and didn't ask Niu Fu to stay, he just went back to the military tent with a gloomy face after being polite.

"Call Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji!" Niu Fu shouted to the soldiers outside.

When Niu Fu's personal soldiers went to call Li Jue and the three of them, Niu Fu began to write on silk, and by the time Li Jue and the others arrived at the military tent, Niu Fu had already finished writing.

Although Cai Lun improved the paper manufacturing technology during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the cost of paper at this time was still relatively expensive, and the paper at this time was not only expensive but also difficult to preserve. Generally, the main writing carriers were silk and bamboo slips.

"Meet my lord!"

Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji saluted in unison.

Niu Fu squeezed out a smile for the first time and said: "You three have worked hard, first sit down and drink a glass of wine to warm your body."

Li Jue and the three of them were all stunned when they heard Niu Fu's words. Is this Niu Fu who has always been at odds with him?Has he changed?
However, the three of Li Jue and the others would rather believe that the sun would come out from the west than that Niu Fu would become friendly. Of course, Niu Fu made such a gesture based on the situation of Li Jue's dealings with him so far. Niu Fu had something to ask them. .

"Thank you, my lord."

Li Jue winked at Guo Si and Zhang Ji each and got up together.

After the three of them were seated, they all drank and ate without making a sound. Niu Fu knew that he had to lower his posture to ask for help, so he coughed involuntarily and said, "Li Jue, I plan to visit Duan Yao, who is guarding Huayin, in a few days. , I wonder if you are interested in going with me?"

finally come!Li Jue's pupils shrank, and Guo Si and Zhang Ji looked at each other and thought.

Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji are the three of the Feixiong soldiers who have a good relationship. Usually, the three of them basically advance and retreat together, and their ranks are all captains, but because they are outsiders, they have always had to to boost.

"Of course I'm willing to wait, but would it be wrong for us to go to Duan Yan's residence rashly?" Li Jue couldn't think of any reason to refuse, at least for now, the thigh holding Niu Fu is still fleshy food.

"It doesn't matter, I have already drawn up a form for my father-in-law to give instructions, saying that we will lead troops to reinforce Duan Yao to defend against Zhu Jun's invasion."

Although Niu Fu is timid and loves money, he still has a bit of cleverness. Zhu Jun organized volunteer soldiers in Zhongmou to attack Dong Zhuo and rushed to Duan Yan. Niu Fu's excuse was naturally seamless.

"Master is wise!"

The three of Li Jue said together that they were all looking forward to carve up Duan Yao's territory or use it to increase officials and ranks.
