There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

This cowardly guy almost smashed his own brains to prevent me from leaving the city.

"General Bao, why don't you let me go out of the city?" Cao Ren shook his head helplessly and said, "If what you say is reasonable, Cao will naturally listen to you, but if you don't have a valid reason, Cao may not Listen to you."

Bao Tao wiped his forehead, stood up, walked out of the gate of the city where Cao Ren held the court meeting, and said to him: "Tao merchants are treacherous and treacherous soldiers, and they are still Huangfusong's disciples. If the general goes out of the city to fight with him , will be ambushed by him! The final general is willing to guarantee with his life!"

Cao Ren was neither affirmed nor denied, but said indifferently: "Then tell me, where will the pottery merchants arrange an ambush?"

Bao Xin pretended to think for a while, then pointed to the indistinct forest in the southwest, and said to Cao Ren: "Although the last general doesn't know much about soldiers, he also went to Baibo Valley with the pottery merchants to defeat the enemy. The deceitfulness of using troops, if there is no accident, he will definitely set up an ambush in that forest!"

Cao Ren turned around, called a lieutenant general and said, "Send someone to investigate carefully in the mountain forest. If there is anything unusual, report it to me quickly."

"promise!"

Cao Ren pondered for a while, then slowly turned his head and returned to the main hall to sit quietly, and said: "General Bao, you just said that you will guarantee your life. This sentence has been written down by Mr. Cao. I have ordered the scouts to investigate the news. The truth does not match the reality. , but Cao will take your head according to the military order!"

Hearing this, Bao Tao's legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

How can Cao Ren be so troublesome?I was just talking in a rush, okay?

I was just a metaphor, are you fucking going to kill me?

There was a pleading look on Bao Tao's face: "This is General Cao."

Cao Ren said indifferently: "There is no joke in the army."

One sentence made Bao Tao choke so hard that he dared not speak.

The time passed by like a stick of incense. Cao Ren and the generals present carefully studied the city defense matters. Only Bao Tao was terrified and stood by scratching his heart. On his forehead, dense beads of sweat.

When he was young, he saw the scout who sent Cao Ren back in a hurry.

Bao Tao's spirit was shocked immediately.

The scout trotted up to Cao Ren, whispered to him, and said in a low voice: "General, there is indeed an ambush from the pottery merchant in the forest, and they are the generals under the command of the pottery merchant, Zhang He and Gao Lan. Quite a few, if it is really blocked by the opponent, I am afraid that the loss will not be small."

Cao Ren nodded suddenly, then waved to the scout, and then looked at Bao Tao with a smile.

"General Bao is indeed loyal and courageous, and has a vision. Cao admires, admires."

Hearing this, Bao Tao almost collapsed on the ground.

After returning to his barracks, Bao Tao recounted what happened today to Guo Jia, and finally said: "Mr. Guo, why do I feel that you seem to be harming me?"

Guo Jia sniffed and said lightly, "Are you still touching your head?"

Bao Tao touched his head with his hand, and said, "Of course it's still there."

Guo Jia rolled his eyes: "Since the head is still there, why do you say I hurt you?"

"this"

"Besides, Guo has been with the prime minister for many years, how can the prime minister use his troops, can Guo not see it?"

Bao Zhong, who had always been a melon-eating crowd next to him, couldn't help but tilted his body and almost fell down.

He looked at Guo Jia in surprise, and said strangely: "Mr. Guo, today you told my brother that there was an ambush in the forest. Didn't you and the prime minister communicate in advance?"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Nonsense, I'm stuck in Chenliu City, how can I communicate with him? That army should be there specially to stop Cao Ren."

"Then let you break it?" Bao Tao said weakly, "Why?"

"Because Cao Ren's determination to go out of the city is not firm. In that case, why not let you make a contribution. You can communicate with him and show your talent. Why not do it?"

8 Chapter [-] Omissions

Guo Jia's words made Bao Taomao suddenly enlightened, and he admired Guo Jia and the potter's skills even more in his heart.

The so-called cooperation between the inside and the outside has always been tacitly two people, at the same time with each other, sitting around each other, one pretending to cooperate with the other, and it is used as a means to cover up the truth.

However, Tao Shang and Guo Jia, the main minister, played in a way that was obviously not the same as that of normal people.

Guo Jia was not informed of the ambush plan set up by the pottery merchant, but Guo Jia actually solved it for him by relying on his own ability and years of understanding of the pottery merchant?

How much courage does this have to do?

This is something that can only be done with a lot of shame?He is not afraid that the pottery will kill him afterwards.

Of course, how close a relationship must be for this to be done?

From ancient times to the present, there is really no one who kicks his own master in private.

However, Bao Tao and Bao Zhong didn't know much about pottery merchants. Whether pottery merchants usually took care of Guo Jia did not depend on Guo Jia's behavior, but entirely depended on whether Prime Minister Tao was in a good mood.

After all, the short crossbow that You Donkey used to shoot through the bun surnamed Guo is still hanging high in the middle of the hall of the school office.

After a whole day of fierce fighting, Cao Jun's offensive retreated. The potters counted their troops and horses, rearranged their camps, and began to gather and listen to the battle reports from all parties.

In terms of the main battalion, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun successfully repelled Pang De and Yan Xing. Although the enemy army was brave and good at fighting, under the command and perseverance of these two fierce generals, they still could not cross the thunder pool half a step, and finally returned home with a feather. .

But victory still has to pay a little price. Huang Zhong suffered some minor injuries in the fight with Pang De, but it did not hinder the major event.

As for the situation of the other routes, the soldiers and horses responsible for defending the Puyang route and the Xuchang route all returned with great victories, especially the battle between Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si, which can be said to be a milestone battle for him to regain his reputation. The soldiers and horses of the two were defeated by Lu Bu, and there was no one in the old Xiliang army to stop Lu Bu.

This battle not only restored Lu Bu's reputation, but also allowed Lu Wenhou to regain his reputation, and at the same time made him let out a lot of bad breath from the past.

However, the news that Zhang He and Gao Lan brought back made people a little astonished, and at the same time, it also made everyone understand the ability of Cao Ren, the left guard general.

After such a big incident happened, this guy didn't even send out a single soldier, he just stayed in Chenliu city without moving.

Cao Ren can really hold back.

After the pottery merchant heard the battle report brought back by the crowd, he asked the generals to go down to rest, and then walked around in the tent himself.

Cao Cao's soldiers and horses came with anger, Cao Ren's soldiers and horses were huddled in the city and could not come out.

"Is there any news from Guo Fengxiao now?" Looking at the somewhat embarrassed pottery merchant, Tian Feng asked him from the side.

The pottery merchant shook his head and said, "As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no news for the time being."

Tian Feng sighed and said: "Cao Cao came here with arrogance, the Prime Minister should not be too anxious. According to this situation, we have to be prepared to fight a protracted war with him this time."

The potter took a deep breath, wandered back and forth in place, and quietly followed the recent events and situations in his mind.

Tian Feng looked at the potter and wondered, "What is the prime minister thinking?"

The pottery merchant smiled while thinking, "I'm wondering if there is any special situation that we can take advantage of. I always feel that I have been busy with the formation of troops recently and have forgotten something important."

He paced back and forth in the tent, muttering to himself in confusion as he walked: "What's the matter? Let me ignore it."
