In the Beishan Mountains of Luoyang, Shi Min was on a hunting trip with several of his generals. Behind each of them was a cart, and all the prey was picked up on the cart.
"Report!" A spy came to Shi Min's horse on Pegasus and said: "Qu Gao let go of the Xie family, took a few boxes of property from the treasury, and defected south! Judging from his direction, he should be heading to Xiangyang.
!”
"Ah! This little southern thief is so damn ignorant. It's in vain that General Fei treated him so favorably!" A burly man cursed.
"Zha Li Ke, concentrate on archery!" Shi Min seemed to have not heard the spies' report. He stared at the depths of the forest like an eagle, and suddenly shot an arrow through the air, and a giant thing in the forest fell to the ground. Everyone
When he followed him, he saw a black bear that was more than ten feet tall. The arrow hit his forehead, and his followers couldn't help but cheered and praised him.
"Bring me my knife!" Shi Min was also in a good mood and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the fur was not hurt. I can just make a fur for Qu Lang. Winter is coming soon. They southerners are afraid of the cold and may not be able to withstand the cold.
chill."
The general named Zhali Ke was unhappy when he heard this and said: "General, that little thief has defected! General, why don't you send me on horseback? The little thief is carrying property and must not be traveling fast. I will rob him halfway."
Kill so that the general can vent his anger!"
Shi Min carefully divided the black bear's fur and said without raising his head: "Zha Li Ke, even you know that it is not fast to carry property with you. Those barbarians in the southern country are all as smart as monkeys. How can they be inferior to you?"
?”
Zha Li Ke was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't seem to understand what Shi Min meant, and asked with confusion on his face: "General, are you saying that the little thief is greedy for money and not afraid of death?"
Shi Min stopped the knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and glanced at Zhali Ke. Although his face was a little impatient, he explained patiently: "I mean, Qu Lang is not defecting, he is doing himself.
We have done what we have to do." He took a breath and added: "Besides, even if he really escapes, just send him this fur to Xiangyang."
Zhali Ke said angrily: "I'll give him a ball! If I don't take him out of Xiangyang City and hack him to death, then I, Zhali Ke, have a kind heart!"
"Then why bother!" Shi Min's face gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You are my Shi Min's brother, and so is Qu Lang. If one day you, Zha Li Ke, are tired of this life of fighting and killing, and want to marry
My daughter-in-law has lived a good life, no matter you go to Peking or Xiliang, I will send you that gift from thousands of miles away!"
Zha Li Ke waved his hand and said: "Although I don't understand why you arranged for me to go to Peking and Xiliang, I can tell that you want to protect that little thief. Just tell me, why don't you go around such a big route?
bend!"
Shi Min shook his head helplessly and continued to cut the black bear fur. Zha Li Ke turned his head and shot an arrow, hitting a stag. He flew over to fetch the deer, threw it on Shi Min's cart, and said: "Shoot the head."
Yes, the fur is intact, let’s make a pair of deerskin boots for your Qu Lang.”
At nightfall, outside Xiangyang City, under the Qingxiu Peak, in the middle of the Peach Blossom Lake.
It was still the same boat, Qu Gao and Prime Minister Wang were sitting opposite each other. The King looked at Qu Gao intently, with a confused expression on his face, and said, "I heard that Shi Min made you the King of Luoyang. Qu Lang is really a man of great fortune."
, now if we talk about superiority or inferiority, even I need to salute Qu Lang and say hello."
When Qu Gao heard what he said, he felt a little displeased, and replied: "Since you know that I am in Huying and can't help myself, you still say such things, which will be a loss of respect for your Wang family."
The king's head looked ashamed, raised his glass to apologize and said: "It's your fault, Qu Lang. I always felt that I was superior to you in the past, because I was always generous. Now that you have risen to great heights and become a powerful person, the king's head was confused for a moment."
It's really inappropriate to make a gaffe."
"Yumian, I asked you to come here tonight because I have something important to discuss with you. This matter is related to the people's livelihood in Luoyang. I need your help." Qu Gao said sincerely.
Wang Shou took a sip of tea and continued: "Qu Lang wants to use Xiangyang as a transit station to transport grain from various places in the south of the Yangtze River to Luoyang via Xiangyang?"
"Exactly!" Qu Gao replied decisively!
Wang Dao lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then asked sharply: "Qu Lang, do you know that this act is equivalent to a serious treason?" Wang Dao's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He seemed to have difficulty understanding why Qu Gao would take it for granted.
Food and grass to feed the barbarians?
"Treason? Ever since I killed Zhang You, I don't care about this one more crime. We have never been able to defeat the Hu people's army. We can only stir up some troubles in this peaceful peace, and be called loyal and traitorous.
Let others discuss it, but if the people of Luoyang do not have rice to survive the winter, they will surely starve to death, and Luoyang will no longer be able to prosper." Qu Gao looked at the king's head firmly, and every word was spoken from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Shou suddenly smiled calmly and said: "Qu Lang's biggest characteristic is that he must do his best to do what he wants to do, regardless of whether he is right or wrong, success or failure, and does not think about the consequences. In this troubled world, perhaps Ru Qu is what is needed
Lang is a man who dares to break through etiquette and teachings. Anyway, he only has a life span of a hundred years, so what if he goes crazy with Qu Lang? I agree with Yi Liang's plan! The Zhu family still has 30% of the business power in Xiangyang, which is enough to carry out Qu Lang's ambitions.
It’s not convenient for Qu Lang to show up in Xiangyang now, so let’s leave this matter to the chief!”
Qu Gao stretched out his hand, the two high-fived, and the matter was finalized. Although it was late autumn and the peach blossoms were gone, there was still a faint refreshing fragrance in the air. The boat was brightly lit, and people were enjoying themselves on the deep lake.
Drifting, like a jade plate in the night sky, appearing with the floating clouds. The king's head warmed the wine, and the mist floated out of the cup, just like the scene when the two swore an oath here. It's just that things are unpredictable and life is impermanent, but now the two of them are different.
Camp, it is rare to have such an opportunity to have a drink together.
"Qu Lang, if one day Shi Min comes to take Xiangyang, how will you deal with it?" Wang first asked this question for no reason.
Qu Gao was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. He hadn't thought about this question yet. At this time, Wang Shou raised it. He thought for a moment and replied: "Although I surrendered to him, it was for Xiangyang. If that day comes, I will definitely
Live and die with Xiangyang."
Wang Shou smiled heartily and said: "After Qu Lang's words, my heart is at peace!"
