Dong Zhuo finally returned to Liangzhou with the remaining 20,000 soldiers. The imperial court was surprised not to punish him, a defeated general. The reason was that under Li Su's suggestion, Dong Zhuo had offered a lot of money to Zhang Rang, so he was fine. On the contrary, he returned with the position of Western Liang's assassination envoy. This made Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun extremely resentful. The imperial court had actually become so corrupt. What difference was this situation from buying and selling official positions?
Zhang Fei and the others could not stay in Changyi for long because there were still many Yellow Turban warriors nearby. What they needed to do was to return to Anping in the shortest time possible and rest.
They still took the water route back. Lu Meng had left a few brothers behind to discuss some matters with his uncle, Lu Fang. Therefore, after Lu Fang received the news, she guarded them at the mouth of Jing River in Anping. After another two days, everyone finally returned to Anping. Lu Fang had already prepared the houses and settled all the injured.
"So tired!" Zhang Fei covered his face and fell back. He did not take off his clothes and began to sleep. He was quite tired now. He was so busy with military affairs that he did not know where he was. Although he had Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to help him, he often felt that he was working too hard. Zhang Fei closed his eyes and thought about many things, from the beginning of the bandit suppression a long time ago to the great victory he had just won. He thought about it a lot and realized that he didn't let his subordinates display their talents, whether it was his four younger brothers, Zhao Yun, or Guan Yu. It wasn't until Li Su suddenly shouted that he realized that his subordinates were all so powerful, but he didn't give them a stage to display their talents. He suddenly felt that he was a failure! It was the guilt he felt towards his brothers and friends.
"Fei 'er, everyone is in the hall. Why are you sleeping here alone?”Zhang Fei's mother saw that Zhang Fei was actually sleeping in the room, so she came to find him." What's wrong? Did something happen? Didn't you say that you won a great battle? Why are you still unhappy?"
"Mother, what kind of person do you think I am?”Zhang Fei opened his eyes and looked at his mother who was sitting at the head of the bed.
"What else can he do? He's my son! He was the most capable man in the Zhang family, a hero known to all in Hebei.”the old lady said with a smile.
Zhang Fei sat up and put his hands on his thighs. He smiled at his mother and said,"Mother, do you think I've given in to my brothers?”
The old lady looked at Zhang Fei blankly and said,"What are you thinking about? Fei 'er, I know that you think that your brothers will suffer a lot if they follow you, and that they won't be able to display their abilities for a long time, but do you know? Fei 'er, these brothers have been obedient to you since we were young. Usually, your two uncles can't call them, but as long as you say the word, they will be obedient. Do you know why? That was because they thought that you were the most capable person. If you followed the most capable person, would you still worry about not being able to display your abilities one day?”
Zhang Fei listened carefully to his mother's words. He smiled, stood up, and said,"Fei 'er understands."
The old lady smiled and nodded before leading Zhang Fei to the hall.
Zhang Ye held a family banquet at home and called Zhao Yun and Guan Yu over. Guan Yu's parents were also called over. As for Zhao Qi 'er, ever since she met Xiao Mang, she had been sticking to her every day. Zhang Fei's mother also liked her very much.
"Ah Fei! Come here, I have something to say to you." Zhang Ye patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and led him to the side with a smile.""Ah Fei, what do you think of Zhao Yun and Guan Yu's character?”
"Heroes of the world!" Zhang Fei said seriously.
"Your mother and I have thought about it for a while and decided to let the two of you become brothers with different surnames. The Guan family's parents also agreed to this matter.”Zhang Ye looked at Zhang Fei and said.
"I think we have to ask the two of them first.”Zhang Fei's heart lit up and he smiled. If he really had these two brothers, it would really be a great thing.
"Brother!" Zhao Qi 'er hopped beside Zhao Yun like a bird." I heard that your sect won a great battle and you even beheaded the leader of the thieves. Brother, you're really something!"”
"It wasn't my credit!" Zhao Yun smiled and stroked Zhao Qi 'er. Those methods were all thought of by Brother Zhang. Otherwise, do you really think that we can break through the tens of thousands of soldiers with just five thousand men?”
"That big black guy came up with it?" Zhao Qi 'er had a look of disbelief on her face.""Brother, that water buffalo only has brute strength, does it have some clever plan in its head?”
"Sister Zhao, haven't you heard that you can't judge a book by its cover? Anyway, I admire you so much that I prostrate myself on the ground!”Guan Yu walked over when he saw that the siblings were getting excited.
"Brother Guan! Why did you say that!" Zhao Qi 'er pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction." Why does that black-faced bull sound like a hero in your mouth? I can't see what's so good about him."”
"Hehe, in this Guan's opinion, the little sister of the Zhao Family must have some prejudice against Brother Zhang. Otherwise, why would she say good things about Brother Zhang to everyone she meets?”Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard and smiled.
"Humph! Anyway, you all say that he's good. I'm ignoring you! I'm going to look for Sister Butchie." After saying that, he fiercely shook his head and ran away, causing Zhao Yun and Guan Yu to laugh out loud.
"Changsheng, your mother and father have something to discuss with you.”Just as Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were about to speak, Guan Yu's mother ran over.
"Mother, what is it?" Guan Yu whispered to his mother.
"The old master of the Zhang family asked me to ask you and this little brother Zhao if you would be willing to become brothers with Lord Zhang."”
"That's exactly what I'm thinking!" Zhao Yun laughed as she stepped forward and shouted. Guan Yu was stunned at first, but he immediately laughed and said,"This is the will of the heavens!"
Seeing that the two of them had agreed, Zhang Fei's mother immediately ordered people to set up an incense table in the backyard and offer sacrifices to the young prison to tell the world. When it was time, Zhang Fei led Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to the backyard. The three of them knelt down toward the incense table and kowtowed to the heavens before kowtowing to their parents. It was the right time of the year, and the peach blossoms in the courtyard had just bloomed. The breeze caressed his face, and it was quite warm!
"Heaven is my witness, and earth is my witness. Today, I, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun, are sworn brothers with different surnames. I do not wish to be born in the same year and month, but I wish to die in the same year and month! If you violate this oath, the heavens will punish you!" After saying that, the three of them dripped their blood on the wine and drank it together. The wine dried until it reached the bottom of the bowl. The three of them threw the bowl and supported each other.
"Fei is young, so he should be the third brother. Brother Guan is older, you can be my big brother!" Zhang Fei bowed and saluted, but was lifted up by Guan Yu. Zhang Fei was puzzled and was about to ask when Guan Yu laughed.
"Why are you like the mortals of the world? You and I are both heroes, so we should know that we should be ranked according to our abilities. I know that my abilities are far inferior to yours, so I can't be your big brother. Before we became sworn brothers, Zilong and I had a plan. As for being your big brother, it's still up to you.”As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Yun and nodded with a smile. Zhang Fei was stunned.
"How can I do that!" Zhang Fei was very anxious. Wasn't this a mess? The older people called the younger ones big brothers. This wasn't a gang joining the Jianghu, so he hurriedly decided.
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun stepped forward and held Zhang Fei's hand tightly.""Big brother!" This call of " big brother " caused Zhang Fei to sit on the ground in shock. The four brothers of the Zhang family were secretly pleased when they saw Zhang Fei's embarrassed appearance. This time, their eldest brother would have something to watch. Especially Zhang Ji, who was making a face at Zhang Fei, feeling very pleased with himself!
" This is…" Zhang Fei wanted to refuse, but he saw Guan Yu and Zhao Yun say,""Big brother!"
"I…"
"Big brother!"
"You guys…"
"Big brother!"
" Sigh…" Zhang Fei sighed and looked at Guan and Zhao. After a long time, he finally shouted,""Second…Second brother! Third…Third brother!"
"Big brother, please!" After saying that, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun let Zhang Fei walk in the front while the two of them followed behind. Seeing this scene, the surrounding people opened their mouths wide and didn't know what to say. Zhang Fei's mother was also quite shocked. Wasn't this a mess? However, when he saw that his son had become an elder brother, he was extremely happy. These two brothers were really close. In the future, Zhang Fei's work would be much easier.
"Elder brother, please take your seat!" Zhang Fei sat down awkwardly and looked at Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, who were standing there. He thought to himself that he really had all kinds of strange things.
"Take a seat, Cloud Dragon." Zhang Fei stood up and said.
"Thank you, brother!" The two of them sat down, and Zhao Qi 'er, who was standing beside them, pouted her pretty face in displeasure. Butchie, who was sitting beside them, said something nice to make her smile.
When the time came, the family began to eat. After the meal, it made Zhang Fei feel extremely uncomfortable. These two "brothers" were really polite, making Zhang Fei complain endlessly.
This was really a good thing to become sworn brothers, but he was so young to be an elder brother!
