5 Fortunes and Misfortunes (1)

A whip hurts the body, but brings good luck.

At noon the next day, Zhao Dangshi was leaning under a tree to recuperate, so someone came to pass the message saying that Zuo Jin King was delivering medicine. When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Thinking that Zuo Jin King He Jin was a famous enemy in Shaanxi, and now he is also the leader of the second seat in the joint camp with Lao Huihui. How could he know Zhao Dangshi's name?

Zhao Dangshi applied medicine to the wound and rested for another night. Although he was young and strong, he was still weak and could not get up while lying down. Wang Laixing took the medicine for him, and the person who delivered the medicine said that this medicine was extremely precious and was specialized in treating trauma. The wound would be scabbed after applying it for three or two days.

Zhao Dangshi didn't know why He Jin was like this, but no matter what the other party had plans, etiquette should not be delayed. He couldn't get up, and he was grateful all the time, saying that he would definitely go and thank him when he was recovered. Wang Laixing was clever and saw that Zhao Dangshi winked on him, and understood it. He took a two-piece of water and stuffed it into the hands of the medicine delivery man.

The medicine delivery man got the benefits, and immediately he was so happy that he couldn't see the teeth and left happily. Zhao Dangshi watched him leave and couldn't help but sigh.

Hou Dagui came over and said, "The head of the family, this is a weird family. I think that Zuo Jinwang is a famous big palm plate with three provinces and is not associated with us, so why did he send this precious medicine for no reason?"

Zhao Dangshi shook his head and said, "I'm also puzzled, but it seems that there is nothing false when talking to that guy just now."

Hou Dagui looked suspicious, muttering "evil" while walking, and turned around and left. After walking for a few steps, he remembered something and turned back and said, "He is the head of the family, and the troops will be transferred in a few days."

“Where to go?”

"I don't know. The villain turned around this morning. There were more and more people entering the meadow, and they had spread to the mountain pass there. Look at this scene, Lao Huihui must be in this area."

Zhao Dangshi said nothing. He thought carefully that Henan would never be able to go there. If the people returning to the camp really wanted to go to Shangluo and then enter Henan, he would leave and go to another place. He only told Wang Laixing about this matter. At that time, if Hou Dagui and others were in trouble, he would not care about it and he would not want to care about it.

After lying for two days, Zhao Dangshi was able to get up and walk. Yang Chengfu brought him water and grinned, "Zuo Jinwang's medicine is to give him energy. It has only been two days since he used it. You are almost healed by the head of the family."

Zhao Dangshi smiled and said, "But if the scab is formed, if you use a little force, you will feel pain and tears." He paused, "You reminded me that Zuo Jinwang is full of his heart, so you have to thank him."

When Hou Dagui heard the conversation between the two, he came up and said, "No. With this way to approach King Zuo Jin, it is really rare to have an opportunity. If you are a talented person in charge, you will be very proud of yourself when you see him." Since he made up his mind to follow Zhao Dangshi first, he naturally felt honored. The name of King Zuo Jin has been resounding throughout the three provinces, and there is no chance for a small person like him to be seen. Although he was envious of Zhao Dangshi, he really hoped that he would take the opportunity to climb a big tree.

Zhao Dangshi narrowed his eyes and patted Hou Dagui's shoulder and said, "What he said is very true, but Zuo Jin King is not an ordinary person. When I go to see him, I may be willing to accept some filial piety... I sent the man surnamed Zhang to the previous episode and spent all his money. Commander Hou, you are rich and famous, so you have to provide some funding."

"What?" Hou Dagui was stunned and speechless.

The tent of King He Jin of Zuo Jin was on the west side of the meadow. Zhao Dangshi finally got it there after inquiring from many sources. After the guards asked about the origin, they entered the account and reported it. A burst of hearty laughter immediately reached Zhao Dangshi's ears. Then one person walked out of the tent. At first glance, it was the man who stopped Zhang Xiongfei from whipping him that day.

On that day, Zhao Dangshi did not look at him carefully. Now he looks back, but he only feels that the other party is about forty years old, with an average appearance, medium-sized skin, and dark skin looks like an honest and honest farmer rather than a famous gangster. He only wore a slut, as if he had just woken up on lunch break, Zhao Dangshi hurriedly knelt down and said, "The villain Zhao Dangshi has seen the King of Zuo Jin. He thanked him for giving medicine on the plate, and thanked him for saving his life!"

"Okay, get up." He Jin helped Zhao Dangshi up, and was so happy that he didn't have any killing spirit. "You haven't recovered yet, so you've got into the tent and said."

When the two entered the tent, He Jin brought two small stools and sat and chatted. He was from Xingyang, Henan, and spoke with a strong accent. Zhao Dangshi could barely understand it with Meng and guesses. In fact, He Jin rebelled late and was not from Shaanxi. In the early years, the power could not be compared with those thieves from Shaanxi and Jin. However, because in the past two years, the official troops of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces were forced to force each other, and the bandits such as Shen Yikui and Zhang Cunmeng were destroyed one after another, and the rest of the troops entered Henan to develop. He gained a geographical advantage and gradually grew stronger and became a giant bandit.

These days, there are many bandits everywhere, but there are only a handful of people who can really fight head-on with the government army. There are only a few companies like Chuang Wang, the Eight Kings of Xiying, Lao Huihui, Cao Cao, etc. Therefore, those who are famous as He Jin have to rely on Lao Huihui, Ma Shouying to develop.

At first, because of the huge difference in identity, Zhao Dangshi was still quite restrained. He Jin asked and answered. Later, he found that He Jin was very approachable, so he nodded and began to talk freely. He had learned from two lifetimes, how could He Jin, a rude master, talk about him. In the end, it turned out to be He Jin nodding only and could not make a single word.

Zhao Dangshi said until his throat smoked. At this time, he felt as if he had neglected the Zuo Jin King in front of him. He was a little worried, but saw He Jin's eyes flashing, and then he said: "Brother Zhao is indeed a genius!"

"Wizard?" After hearing such praise, even though he was thick-skinned, Zhao Dangshi still felt a little hot on his cheeks. "Just talk nonsense, don't be surprised when you hold the plate."

He Jin shook his head and said, "I'm so excited, I'm not from my usual background when I listen to your words. I must have read a book!"

Zhao Dangshi thought about it and felt that if he said he was ignorant, he would not be able to pass it. He whispered: "He has a wise eye, but he is not talented. When he was young, he did read a few crooked books, but they are all indifferent and unfamiliar ways and cannot get on the table."

He Jin laughed and said, "Good Books, look at Brother Zhao, and then look at those who are all day long. One is from heaven and the other is from underground." He has been a thief for many years and has seen such a brave and strong person, but they are all reckless men who are brave but not capable of fighting. Occasionally, they will either commit suicide or be scared to death. They are so wise that they are all scared that they have no integrity. People who are as knowledgeable as Zhao Dangshi who can talk and laugh with him must have never seen it.

Since he met, He Jin did not intend to let him go. He had heard of three points and knew that Liu Bei had been wandering for the first half of his life until he met Zhuge Liang. He was determined to make a comeback and be able to stand alone, but he didn't know how to start. Zhao Dangshi's appearance made him feel like he had a treasure. Compared to his subordinates who could not beat him, Zhao Dangshi must be the Wolong military advisor sent by God to assist him.

When Zhao Dangshi heard that He Jin wanted to invite him to be the military advisor of Zuoying, he was extremely embarrassed. After only a little talk, he actually scared the famous Zuo Jin King. He was amused and laughed and cried. He pretended to be frightened: "What kind of virtue is a villain? He can bear this important task!"

He Jin said seriously: "Brother, why should I betray yourself? Do you know why I saved me when Zhang Xiongfei whipped you that day?"

"The villain is foolish, please tell me clearly."

"I'll ask you, why did you get beaten that day?"

Zhao Dangshi didn't understand why, in fact, "I don't know about this when I take care of the plate, but because the villain said he couldn't enter the river..." The word "nan" came to his mouth, and he suddenly realized, "Is it..."

He Jin nodded when he saw him suddenly, "Brother is indeed a smart man. That day I came to find Zhang Xiongfei. It was Lao Huihui who sent an order to turn the army south."

"Turn the army to go south..." Zhao Dangshi pondered for a moment, "Wouldn't it be that he went to Xing'an?"

He Jin smiled and said, "Brothers are like gods to predict things. The old man wants to return to the east, but in fact they want to avoid the Lu army and the Lu family's official army and move to weak areas such as Xing'an and Pingli."

Zhao Dangshi was very happy when he heard this. He was rumored that he was resourceful and was indeed well-known, and he was still very familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy. Xing'an and Pingli government troops did not have many defenses. If they went south, it would be likely to cause the deployment of the government troops in Henan and other places. By then, the already unstable government troops would definitely have many loopholes. If you want to go to Huguang or Henan, you can choose calmly. Having said that, relying on your two-life experience, sometimes you have underestimated these ancient people too much. If you don't correct your ideas in time, you will suffer losses in the future.

Seeing that he was silent, He Jin said, "Brother, come to my camp, and I will let you sit in the second seat." Since he regarded Zhao Dangshi as Zhuge Liang, he had to make a full appearance of Liu Bei to complement each other.

Zhao Dangshi was quite moved by his swearing. He was just a small household with twenty or thirty people. He only had a few words to trust He Jin so much. This leniency was enough to make many famous generals who claimed to be "undoubted to employ people". But no matter how moved he was, he asked himself, but he was unwilling to join Zuoying.

Three things to worry about: First, he was ineffective and had no background, and became the second leader of the Zuoying with just a few words. Even if He Jin agreed, the fighters under his command would never be convinced. In the chaotic times, verbal promises could be guaranteed for a while, but they could not be guaranteed for a lifetime. If He Jin had any shortcomings, he would never be able to protect himself. Second, Zhao Dangshi had the intention to seek the king, so-called king, those who are strong and strong, are the military advisors who seem to be glamorous, but they may not be able to do so.

The ability to recruit soldiers and horses to expand its power is contrary to his usual goals and ideas. Third, Huiying and Zuoying are both camps, but the scale gap is too big. Now he is nominally a subordinate of Lao Huihui, and He Jin is actually a subordinate of Lao Huihui, but he is just a little more. Involving in Zuoying is like being imprisoned. No matter how big he is, he can only be a subordinate of Zuo Jin King. His development is limited, and this deal is not cost-effective in the long run.

Taking into account the above three points, Zhao Dangshi decided to reject He Jin. Of course, considering that He Jin could not speak directly, he thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but this matter has three difficulties and is difficult to do."

He Jin was calm and did not feel displeased: "What are the three difficulties?"

"The villain was originally a return camp. He worked under the tent for many years. He took the plate and called me overnight. I was afraid that it would not be easy to return to the camp. This is a difficult situation. Although the villain was just a small family, his brothers still had some powerful brothers. When they came to Zuoying, they were afraid that they would not agree. This is a difficult situation. Although the villain was stupid, he still enjoyed all his life. He was still trapped in a battle to kill the enemy. The military advisor who planned the plan really couldn't be the three difficulties. If there were these three difficulties, please take the plate and take the disc as appropriate." After Zhao Dangshi finished speaking, he looked at He Jin nervously. This man was just kind and kind, because he wanted to recruit himself, and he was rejected, and he might not be allowed to rise on the spot. To be honest, Zhao Dangshi never asked them to be reasonable for these rude bandits.

As expected, as soon as the words of polite decline were expressed, He Jin's face dimmed. If the solemn things about the "three difficulties" were argued one by one, they would be all evasive. Not even fools could hear the perfunctory meaning of the words. He was silent for a long time, and the quiet needle in the tent could be heard. Zhao Dangshi only felt a heart beating in his chest. Since this era came, he has been experiencing the test of life and death every day. He only hoped that he could overcome the danger smoothly this time.

Finally, He Jin stretched his face and greeted him, "Come on, get my knife."

When Zhao Dangshi heard this, he almost jumped up on the spot, but he was still calm and let his face turn ashen, and he only bit his lips and said nothing.

After a while, he took a knife on his left and right and was about to hand it over to He Jin, but he waved his hand and said, "To Brother Zhao."

"Give it to me?" Zhao Dangshi was shocked and delayed for a while before taking the knife with his hands trembling.

While he was frightened, he heard He Jin say, "Brother Zhao, you are a very human. This knife is obtained by my plunder of the government's arsenal. It is cut iron like mud, and it is also a very human. It is very suitable for a very human being to match a very human being."

"How can I feel sorry for this? A villain has received no reward..."

He Jin waved his hand and stopped him, "No need to say anything more. Even if this knife is a gift for my brother, I will not force you to do anything with you. But brothers remember that if you encounter difficulties in the future, just come and find me, and the gate of my Zuoying will always be open to your brothers."

He said very sincerely. At that moment, Zhao Dangshi almost changed his mind, but he still calmed down. Regardless of the pain in his body's injuries, he knelt on the ground and offered a knife to the top and said, "I will never forget the kindness of holding a plate. If you have the chance in the future, you will definitely work hard for a dog or a horse."

He Jin helped him up and laughed, "Zhong, I love to hear these words!"

Since the two of them had settled the matter, they had no other concerns and chatted for a while. Zhao Dangshi suddenly remembered something and asked: "When will the old Huiyan go south when will the army be launched?"
