There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

This small river, which is neither wide nor urgent, is undoubtedly the best natural barrier for Cao Jun. If it is broken by the enemy, the main village will be worrying.

Xia Houyuan also got off his horse and said to General Cao and Cao Jun behind him, "Get off your horse! Stop the Jinling bandits!"

Cao Jun soldiers headed by Cao Chun, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Pang De, Yan Xing, Huang Shao, He Yi, Pei Yuanshao and others got off their horses one after another.

At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else.

The soldiers of the Cao army also boarded those bamboo poles and fought with the Jinling army in close combat, launching a fierce battle in an inch of space.

And because the bee chrysalis of the two armies went up, many pontoon bridges were also broken because they were overwhelmed, and the soldiers of Cao Jun and Jinling Army fell into the water one after another.

But in the water, they didn't stop, attacking and fighting each other, making the river redder.

Xia Houyuan was trembling with anger in the rear.

These Jinling troops used the temporary patchwork of bamboo ladders and pontoon bridges to rush over to compete with their own side, causing their own defensive camp to make changes. Many soldiers would abandon their horses and rush to the water to fight their opponents desperately.

This was not what he wanted to do at all, but he was helpless.

Xia Houyuan lashed the air hard with his horsewhip, made a crisp "pop", and shouted: "Pottery merchant thief! Too much bullying!"

Xia Houyuan, who was facing the battle, became furious, while on the other side, the pottery merchant seemed very calm.

But this calmness is only superficial, after all, Cao Jun's combat power is extraordinary.

The potter rubbed his hands gently, the thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly, and he was conceiving the next plan.

Not long after, I saw Pei Qian's flying horse galloping back from the front line.

"Prime Minister, Cao's army is gaining momentum. The Hebei army's crossing of the river has been stopped, and the two sides are fighting fiercely. Do you want to send Jinling cavalry to dismount to help?"

Tao Shang shook his head and said: "Wait a little longer, don't worry, I still have the last move. After that move is played, it's time for all of us to launch a counterattack."

Speaking of this, the potter turned his head and looked at the north for a while.

This battle here will undoubtedly affect the trend of another important place, and I have already made arrangements to deal with that important place.

Now let's see if the surname Guo can understand it.

Chen Liucheng.

"Mr. Guo, the spies came to report. It seems that the Prime Minister has launched a massive attack on Cao Jun. This time it is not a bluff, it is a real fight! It is said that the battle is fierce, and almost all soldiers from both sides joined in!"

Guo Jia stroked his "fake beard" suddenly, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Watching Guo Jia stroke his beard back and forth, Bao Tao became a little anxious: "Sir, don't stroke it anymore, if you stroke it for a while, the entire beard on your chin will be wiped off by you! That's a fake beard!" "

Guo Jia gave him a dissatisfied look, and then said: "This time, the time is ripe. The prime minister must have grasped the direction of Cao's army, so he dared to devote his entire battalion to the battle."

Bao Zhong said excitedly: "In this way, we brothers can push Cao Ren to fight?"

Guo Jia raised his hand, blocked Bao Zhong's words, and said, "You still can't persuade Cao Ren to fight."

Er Bao's face suddenly fell.

"It's already this time, why can't we persuade Cao Ren to fight? How long will we have to wait?"

Guo Jia smiled lightly and said: "At this time, what you have to do is to ask Cao Ren to go to the Jinling Army to save the safety of Cao's camp."

Bao Tao was stunned for a moment: "You let us fight? Aren't you hurting our brothers!"

"A sword has no eyes, the two of us can't stop the prime minister's elite soldiers from attacking!" Bao Zhong chimed in.

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Cao Ren will never let you fight. If you do this, he will only trust you more and feel that you are loyal. Maybe he will arrange for you to defend the city."

Chapter 8 Seventeen: The Change of Chen Liu

As the number one mastermind under the command of the pottery merchant and also a man with the title of ghost, Guo Jia's thoughts and ideas are naturally different from those of ordinary people.

And the potters came from later generations, so naturally they have a somewhat different way of thinking from people of this era.

This is also one of the important reasons why the potter and Guo Jianeng have become more and more tacit in their relationship for so many years.

Because both of them are not normal people.

This point, Bao Tao and Bao Zhong deeply understood this time.

In fact, they both regret it now.

Why did he deserve to die in the first place, but got on the potter's boat?

It made my two brothers worry and fear every day.

But now, it's too late for the two of them to think about anything, they have no way out now, they can only follow Guo Jia along this road to the dark.

In their hearts, they can only pray that the potters will treat them better in the future, and not let them down for their hard work now.

As expected by Guo Jia, Cao Ren soon sent someone to find the second general to discuss rescue matters with everyone.

In the main hall of Chenliucheng's mansion, Cao Ren gathered all the military generals above his command.

They were divided into two phalanxes, each standing on one side, with the dark side on both sides, whispering to each other, making the hall noisy.

At this time, they couldn't help but stop making trouble. After all, Cao Cao's sudden illness affected the morale of the army very much.

Although the main business side tried their best to block it, the news finally reached Chen Liu.

Judging from the current situation, the Tao merchant army began to attack Cao Jun with all its strength. Naturally, it did not hide from the eyes of Cao Ren's spies. Now Tao and Cao have entered the tense stage of fighting, and as Cao Jun's important town Naturally, Cao Ren couldn't stand idly by.

He had already made up his mind at this moment, going to support Cao Cao.

Just to support Cao Cao, what should Chen Liucheng do?

A capable and unambitious person must be left to guard him.

But who should this person choose?

Cao Ren thought over and over again. These military marquises and school lieutenants were temporarily requisitioned by the county governments in various places in Yanzhou. To be honest, Cao Ren was not familiar with them.

At such a moment, it is really inconvenient for him to randomly assign such a task to them.

However, if it is true, he really has a suitable candidate in his heart, and that is Bao Tao.

After several emergencies, Cao Ren was deeply impressed by Bao Tao's level of response to emergencies and his loyal and courageous advice, and he liked it very much.

Cao Ren had basically decided in his heart that if he could choose someone to temporarily guard the city for him among these people, Bao Tao would undoubtedly be the best candidate.

However, Chen Liucheng's affairs were of great importance, and he should not entrust them lightly. Even if Bao Tao was in line with Cao Ren's wishes, he still had to consider it carefully.
