There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"Gongming!" Xu Rong yelled, and galloped to Xu Huang's side. Seeing his miserable appearance, tears filled his eyes instantly.

"Gongming, how are you?"

Xu Huang waved his hands weakly, and said, "I, I, I can't do it anymore."

Xu Rong's head seemed to be struck by lightning, and he froze in place, unable to speak a word.

"I can't do it anymore, I, I can't ride a horse anymore, so send me back to get a sleep for my injuries."

Xu Rong's hanging heart finally fell.

This guy, why is he gasping for breath when he speaks, it scares me to death!

Xu Rong hurriedly ordered someone to send Xu Huang back quickly, and then asked Xu Huang's lieutenant general, "Gong Ming, what's going on?"

The deputy general hurriedly said: "General Gong Ming fought with Guan Yu, after fifty rounds, he was exhausted after all, and Guan Yu used the knife to slash his cheek, that's why."

When Xu Rong heard this, he was stunned.

But the deputy general continued: "General Xu, Guan Yu is now gathering his troops and rushing towards Fancheng. He wants to take advantage of our defeat and storm Fancheng. We need to make preparations earlier."

After Xu Rong came back to his senses, he gritted his teeth and said, "Follow me back and defend the city!"

A few days later, the battle reports from the front reached the potters in Xuchang.

"Alas, Xu Huang was wounded by Guan Yu, and Fancheng was attacked by Guan Yu in turn. It is already in danger, Xu Huang can't manage, the morale of the three armies is low, Xu Rong can't hold on, so he sent someone to ask me for help."

Guo Jia and Chen Deng exchanged a surprised look below.

When I was young, I heard Chen Deng say: "Xu Huang and Xu Rong are both generals of our army. If one is taken out alone, it is enough to guard one side. Now that they have come to Fancheng together, how can they still not be able to stop a man?" Guan Yu?"

The pottery merchant put Xu Rong's request for help on the table and sighed: "One is that Guan Yu is not only brave, but a handsome talent with real ability. The other is Xu Huang and Xu Rong. Something must have happened. .”

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, Guo is willing to go to Fancheng."

"Forget it, stay in Xuchang with Yuanlong. There are still many things to do in the Central Plains, and I don't feel relieved when Guan Yu is about to go into battle. I will go there myself."

Chen Deng hurriedly said: "At present, the three armies have just stabilized, and the large-scale conquest is happening so soon. The food, grass and supplies allocated are a big expense. The Central Plains still needs food and money in many places."

"I know." The pottery merchant smiled and said, "So I'm not going to make a large-scale conquest, so I'll just lead two thousand white horse troops over there."

Guo Jia hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, isn't this too risky?"

"Don't worry, I'm not entrusting the big, but I have my own sense of proportion. Fancheng and Xiangyang are on the same river. If I were Liu Bei, I would never let go of this strategic point. I will go over this time to have a look. If I can defend it, I will defend it. If you can’t defend, I’ll withdraw my troops and go back to Xuchang.”

So the pottery merchant led Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, and two thousand elite white horse cavalry, to Fancheng.

Although Guan Yu was attacking Fancheng by force, he did not encircle Fancheng on a large scale.

According to the potter's analysis, it was not because of Guan Yu's overly sophisticated schemes and tactics, but because Guan Yu was full of arrogance. He probably regarded Fancheng as something in his pocket at the moment and disdained to adopt siege tactics.

For Guan Yu, Fancheng was already in his bowl.

Chapter 829 A New Life

Since Guan Yu only implemented a policy of strong attack on Fancheng and did not encircle the city, it was difficult for pottery merchants to enter the city.

Of course, with Guan Yu's current military strength, it is not realistic to encircle Fancheng as a whole.

But in this way, it will be much easier for the potter's two elite cavalry to enter Fancheng.

Although the Jingzhou army did not besiege the city, they also set up soldiers and horses on the main roads to block the enemy's attack.

However, if Guan Yu or Chen Dao came to stop them personally, it might still be useful, but with those other generals of the Jingzhou army, who could stop the joint attack of the three brothers Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and Tao Shang?

It just didn't take a while for the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou army to block the road for defense, and they were dispersed by the Tao Shang army. The soldiers of the three armies ran and died, and there was no one on the way.

The Jingzhou general who was in charge of blocking the way was defeated by Tai Shici three times, five times and two times, and he galloped on his horse and fled in despair.

Tai Shici unhurriedly took out the precious carving bow, bent the bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow at the fleeing general.

The arrow hit his back, and he cried out for help from the pain, but he didn't dare to stop. He sat down on the horse and went faster, leaving a lot of blood.

Tai Shici put down his bow and arrow with a smile, and stopped pursuing.

Tao Shang and Zhao Yun rode up to his back, looked at the Jingzhou general who was wounded and left in the distance, and said curiously: "With my brother's archery skills, it is not difficult to take his life. back, won’t it hurt his life?”

Tai Shici smiled slightly and said: "It's just an unknown general, killing or not killing doesn't make much sense. Letting him go back with a little injury can be regarded as a warning to Guan Yu."

The pottery merchant laughed aloud, nodded and said, "What brother said makes sense, it's very kind."

The three brothers entered Fancheng smoothly.

Xu Rong greeted them with a tired face.

After meeting Xu Rong, the potter asked about the reason for the battle in Fancheng.

In all honesty, telling the pottery merchant the truth would actually hurt Xu Rong's self-esteem, but for him right now, there was nothing he could do about it.

You have to tell the truth.

Xu Rong took a deep breath and told the pottery everything about it.

After finishing speaking, Xu Rong knelt on one knee, clasped his fists at the pottery merchant, and said, "The last general suffered from the three armies because of his arrogance, Gongming was injured, and Fancheng was in danger. He deserves to be punished! I also ask the prime minister to punish me with military law." .”

The pottery merchant didn't speak, just looked at Xu Rong quietly, and suddenly said after a while: "I think what you lack right now is not punishment."

Xu Rong was taken aback when he heard the words: "Then what am I missing?"

"You lack a little mind, a little heart and tolerance."

What Xu Rong said just froze in place.

The pottery merchant heaved a long sigh, stood up and said, "Where is Gongming?"

Xu Rong hurriedly said: "Heal his wounds at his residence."

"Take me to see."

When I was young, a group of people came to Xu Huang's residence.

Xu Huang's injury was not serious, but the problem was that it was also on his face.

When the potter arrived, the medical officer was changing cloth on his face and applying medicine.

Seeing the potter, Xu Huang was about to get up, but was stopped by the potter.

The pottery merchant looked at the scar on Xu Huang's face, and his eye circles couldn't help turning red. He sighed, "Gong Ming, I've wronged you."
