There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"Important matter?" The pottery merchant frowned and said, "If that's the case, then let them in."

When I was young, I saw A Fei walking into the potter's tent with the help of the limping Huang Xu.

Seeing Huang Xu's appearance, the potter couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Hey, you said that even if you are the first soldier, you must have a degree. I am afraid that you will have to rest for at least three months for this injury."

Huang Xu hurriedly said to the pottery merchant: "No need, the general will only need a month to heal his wounds, the Prime Minister doesn't need to worry about it."

"Nonsense, it's such a simple thing to hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days? I'll send someone to take you back to Xuchang later."

Ah Fei’s problem of breaking his mouth came up again, and he said to Huang Xu with a smile: "Brother, the foster father always said that he would break your leg when he had nothing to do, but now that your leg broke by himself, he is relieved now." .”

""

Within the full tent, there was a sudden silence.

The pottery merchant heaved a long sigh, this kid really deserves a beating.

Huang Xu looked at her very unkindly. If it wasn't for this kid's legs and feet, the pottery merchant estimated that Huang Xu would definitely go up and kick him.

But right now Huang Xu has business to do, so he really has no time to talk to him.

Huang Xu cleared his throat, and said to Tao Shang: "Prime Minister, when the general was attacking the city and climbing the ladder, he vaguely saw something, but he didn't know if it would be useful for the Prime Minister to attack Xiangyang, so he came here to report."

Seeing Huang Xu being so formal, the potter was somewhat curious, and said immediately, "Sit down and talk."

Huang Xu looked bitterly at the potter, then pointed to his dangling leg: "It's broken, I can't sit down."

"Oh, let's just lie down and talk." The potter expressed his understanding.

Huang Xu: ""

When he was young, Huang Xu recounted to the potter the hurried scene he saw at the top of the city today.

The potter bowed his head in thought when he heard the words, and Tian Feng was also in thought.

When I was young, I saw the potter turn his head to look at Tian Feng: "What do you think, Mr. Yuan Hao?"

Tian Feng thought carefully for a long time, finally raised his head slowly, and sighed: "Guan Yu has been guarding Xiangyang for Liu Bei, and he has been in the conquest for many years. Young and less experienced in battle”

"So Guan Yu may not obey him." Tao Shang nodded suddenly: "This is the general's discord."

Tian Feng looked at the potter and said, "How does the prime minister plan to use this matter?"

"This, I haven't thought about it yet, and it won't be too late to make plans after I think about it seriously." The potter stood up and began to walk back and forth in the handsome tent.

After a while, it was time for dinner.

The potter still doesn't have a particularly good method.

When it was time to light the lanterns, a person came from Jinling City and arrived at the front line.

This person is none other than Zhuge Jin.

Seeing Zhuge Jin, the potter was very puzzled.

Since Zhuge Jin was attached to his account, he has rarely been recruited. He is basically in charge of political affairs in Yangzhou. Today, he suddenly ran to the front of the army, he must have something important to do.

"Ziyu, you are not in Jinling City, what are you doing in Xiangyang?"

Zhuge Jin is also exhausted.

He took a sip of water, took a long breath of relief, and then said to the pottery merchant, "Kong Ming went to Jiangxia with the Hussar General. Before leaving Nanchang, he wrote a letter and sent someone to put it in my place."

The potter was taken aback when he heard the words: "What is the letter written by Kong Ming?"

Zhuge Jin said: "He asked me to go to the Xiangyang Army and assist the prime minister in taking Xiangyang City."

The potter couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

This kid Zhuge Liang has really grown up and matured. He is in Jiangxia, but he is still thinking about the battle in Xiangyang and knows to share his worries for his teacher.

"Since Kong Ming asked Ziyu to come here, he must have an excellent countermeasure. What does he say?"

Zhuge Jin took another sip of water, considered his words and said: "When my father and uncle were alive, there was an acquaintance in Jingzhou. If we can persuade this person, it will definitely be beneficial to the prime minister's great cause, and then Jingzhou will be as good as possible." The land of the north."

"Is there such a person? Who is it?"

Zhuge Jin said: "My uncle was in Jingzhou back then, and he had a few encounters with Cai Tun, a great scholar in Nanjun. He used him to make friends with his son-in-law, Huang Chengyan. Cai Tun is Cai Mao's father, and he is related to Huang Chengyan. I want my subordinates to get acquainted with Cai Mao through Huang Chengyan and persuade him for the prime minister."

"So it's this kind of relationship." The pottery merchant had thought about Cai Mao's problem a while ago, but he didn't know Cai Mao and had no contact with him, so he gave up for the time being. Hearing Zhuge Jin's talk now, hope was ignited again.

Chapter 839 Visiting Cai Mao

"How sure are you, Ziyu, of Kong Ming's plan?" The pottery merchant asked Zhuge Jin.

Brothers Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang are both great talents, and their brothers have one characteristic, that is, they are more stable in doing things, and they never make a lot of noise everywhere, and they are extremely solid in their work. This is what potters admire the most about Zhuge's family.

Zhuge Jin was indeed a very calm person. He pondered quietly for a while, as if he was carefully calculating the probability of success.

Finally, he said modestly to the pottery merchant, "I should be [-]% sure."

It was a very cautious number, neither ambiguous nor bragging about [-]%, the potter was very satisfied with the number he said.

"What does Tao need to do?"

Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "There are two things. One is that the prime minister needs to allocate troops and horses, and change the deployment of the three armies. The other is that the prime minister should help me analyze whether there are any omissions in the words about surrender."

The potter thought about it seriously, and said, "I really do have some ideas and suggestions, we might as well discuss them."

"Prime Minister, please speak."

On the second day after Zhuge Jindao arrived in Xiangyang City, the [-] soldiers of the Jinling Army began to divide their troops.

1 horses returned to Fancheng, and the remaining 5 horses, led by the generals of Jinling, began to march towards the surrounding cities of Nanyang County.

Including Xi'e, Nanxiang, Caiyang, Wuyin and other places

And the Jinling Army that surrounded Xiangyang City disappeared without a trace.

The actions of the Jinling Army were quickly conveyed to Xiangyang City.

The generals in Xiangyang hurried to Pang Tong and asked to fight.

Wei Yan said to Pang Tong: "Situ, the pottery merchants divided their forces to take more than ten counties and counties around Xiangyang. They seem to have taken down the important towns around Xiangyang and forced the city with encirclement tactics. Now that the enemy forces are scattered, it is a great opportunity for us to send troops to attack them! The last general asked Situ for permission, let me fight!"

Pang Tong looked at Wei Yan quietly, and then at the impatient generals of the Jinling Army, and said, "Generals, lead the troops and horses, and start preparing the defense weapons. Just strengthen the city defense, no need to say anything."
