There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Tao Shang looked at the crowd back and forth, and said: "When Zhao Yun and Guo Jia are fighting Liu Bei on the front line, don't attack by force, but delay the time as the main thing, and report to me any movement in Jiangling City at any time."

"promise!"

A few days later, the potters assembled the naval forces from Jinling and Jingzhou, and went down the river from Xiangyang City to Jiangxia County.

And Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Su, who have been coordinating Jinling City and Nanchang City in the south recently, and all the generals of the Jiangnan navy, walked with him.

After years of development, the Yangzhou navy is now the number one navy in the world, with nearly [-] large and small warships.

After the navy came to Jiangxia County, Zhuge Liang immediately introduced Cui Jun and Meng Jian, who had voluntarily surrendered in the Jiangxia Battle, to the potters.

Today's situation is different from that in history. Zhuge Liang went to Jingzhou when he was young, but was stopped by pottery merchants, which made history deviate.

Therefore, Kong Ming in this era is not friends with all the talents in Jingzhou.

But this does not prevent them from admiring each other.

Talented scholars from Jingzhou are all smart people. They were originally recommended by Pang Tong because of Pang Degong's face and to observe the situation temporarily under his command. No one would seriously work for him, and following Liu Bei was just a stopgap measure.

And these people are very well-known, after all, pottery merchants have an excellent reputation in this world, Jingzhou talents don't think he will kill people like himself just because they have followed Liu Bei.

For example, today's time and people are all on the potter's side.

When Jiangxia County fell, these people followed the general trend and fell directly to the potters.

Under the guidance of Meng Jian and Cui Jun Zhuge Liang, they met the potters and reported their names.

The pottery merchant looked at the two of them with a smile, nodded in satisfaction and said: "The two gentlemen are willing to come and submit, which can be said to be extremely sensible. Today, the general situation in the world belongs to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei supported the false emperor and established The puppet dynasty will perish sooner or later."

Meng and Cui didn't seem to take the potter's blatant bragging seriously.

"I heard that you have a great sage, Sima Hui, in Jingzhou. I don't know where he is now. Can you meet him?"

Cui Jun clasped his hands and said, "Mr. Shui Jing has been hiding from the world all year round, and he is happy in the mountains and fields. He has less contact with people who are officials. This is Mr. Shui Jing's habit. I'm afraid it will not be easy to change."

The pottery merchant smiled slightly, and said: "Oh, it's a pity that this is the case. Only Pang Degong and Mr. Shui Jing know the talents of Jingzhou students. If Mr. Shui Jing can give you some pointers and recommend a few talents, it may be of great importance to Tao in the future." The strategy of calming Jingnan will be of great help."

Hearing this, Meng Jian wondered, "Prime Minister came to Jiangxia to send troops to Jingnan?"

"That's right, since you've come to Tao's tent, I won't hide it from you. I'm going to Jingnan this time. I want to unite with the barbarian king Sha Moke. I just need someone who is familiar with the Wuling barbarians as a test. This person is my friend." I would like to ask Mr. Shui Jing to recommend it for me.”

After hearing what the Tao merchant said, Cui Jun pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind, and said to the Tao merchant, "Since the prime minister has this intention, how about we introduce Mr. Sima to the prime minister?"

Hearing this, Meng Jian couldn't help being a little surprised: "Zhou Ping, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to act like this. Mr. Shui Jing never sees anyone in the army on weekdays."

"Is the prime minister an outsider?" Cui Jun seemed to have settled for the pottery's flattery, and said with emotion: "Besides, how can the prime minister's every move be compared with ordinary military personnel? It is related to the unification of the world and the safety of all people. Well, if the Prime Minister can wipe out all the beasts sooner, the world will be peaceful and prosperous sooner."

Meng Jian scolded Cui Jun for being cunning!

I let you pick up all the good things and talk about them, let you do all the favors, let you shoot all the flattery, and let you grow up with all these ghosts!

But after all, I still blame myself for my slow reaction.

It's not too late to make up for it after a dead sheep, and Meng Jian hastily began to make supplementary flattery to the potters.

So, Meng Jian also hurriedly said: "What Zhouping said is that for the sake of the common people in the world, he doesn't care much at the moment. According to the Prime Minister, Mr. Shui Jing used to live around Xiangyang, but after Liu Jingsheng left, Mr. Shui Jing estimated that The area around Xiangyang will sooner or later become the frontline battlefield, and Gu moved his residence to Jiangxia, and now he lives in the county."

The pottery merchant was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "In this case, I will trouble you two gentlemen to choose a day to lead me to visit Gao Xian. Tao will never treat you badly. bit."

Cui Jun and Meng Jian looked at each other happily, secretly thinking that this deal was indeed worthwhile.

After Sima Hui moved from Xiangyang to Jiangxia, he still lived in the mountains and not in the downtown.

He built several thatched huts to live in. He fished by the river every day with a fishing rod, and lived happily, which can be described as extremely happy.

Sima Hui's appearance is well maintained, and he looks younger than his actual age.

In fact, think about it, a person who doesn’t worry about anything all day long, but only enjoys feelings and mountains and rivers, has a halo of a celebrity on his head. Anyone who sees him must respectfully call Mr. Shuijing. What a happy life?

To be honest, the potter is a bit envious of Sima Hui. With his personality, he thinks that he should transmigrate into Sima Hui's body, and be a leisurely celebrity, eating and drinking every day or eating and drinking to keep healthy. It's really boring and he can blackmail him Other celebrities or students spend money.

When the potter came to see him, it happened that Sima Hui caught two perch and was going to cook them in a pot outside his house.

Seeing the potter and Zhuge Liang, Mr. Sima Hui was taken aback for a moment, but then he returned to normal.

He shook his head with a smile, and before Cui Jun could speak, he said, "This one, could it be that he is the one who has shaken the world in the past and present, Mr. Taiping?"

The pottery merchant was startled when he heard the words, and then couldn't help laughing.

For many years, it seems that no one has ever called himself Mr. Taiping again.

It seems to be forgotten.

But in fact, back then, I started my career entirely with this name.

"Shang and his disciple Zhuge Liang have met Mr. Decao." Tao Shang saluted Sima Hui.

Sima Hui also saluted him, then turned his head to look at Cui Jun and Meng Jian, and said, "You two, you have a good plan to sell me and ask for credit from Mr. Taiping?"

Both Cui Jun and Meng Jian smiled awkwardly.

Tao Shang smiled and said: "Sir, don't blame me. In fact, Zhou Ping and Gongwei are not to blame for this matter. It is the name of Mr. Tao Shang who has admired him for a long time. He specially asked to come to see each other. It has delayed his cleanliness. Please don't blame him."

Sima Yi waved his hand and said: "Master Taiping was joking, I don't have so many problems, I just like to be quiet, since the master has come, and I caught up with the newly caught fish, why don't we drink wine and eat fish together? ?”

The potter didn't expect Sima Hui to be so enthusiastic, so he said, "It's so good."

At that moment, everyone set up a pot to cook together in the courtyard, making soup and stewed fish.

The pottery merchant also personally helped out and packed the two fish together with Sima Yi. His skillful cooking techniques really impressed Sima Hui.

After the fish was ready, the dishes were cooked, and the wine was put on the table, several people sat around on the table next to the thatched hut to eat.

Sima Hui took a bite of the fish made by the potter, and his eyes lit up.

"The so-called gentleman cooks far away, but Mr. Taiping has such a background, but he has such first-class cooking skills. It's really surprising." Sima Hui said with a smile.

The pottery merchant smiled slightly: "Sir, why do you need to use these small questions to teach me? A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. The real meaning is that the kitchen is a place of killing. Staying away means that you don't want to kill evil. , I can't bear to see his death, hear his voice, and can't bear to eat his meat, so a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, so what does cooking have to do with it?"

When Sima Wei heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

The potter raised the wine cup in his hand and said, "Sir, do you want to learn from Meng Xian and persuade King Xuan of Qi to practice the art of benevolence?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "I'm just a man of the mountains, how dare I compare myself to Meng Xian? However, I have heard a little about Mr. Taiping's style over the years. Seize the treasures of the people, and merge Jinling City with the land in the south of the Yangtze River. In a short period of more than ten years, the wealthy side has developed, and the people and businessmen from all over the world are rushing to it. The world is so big that there is no one who can do this , can also be called the art of benevolence.”

The pottery merchant smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Sir, everyone praised Tao as a gentleman, but Tao was no longer worthy of the word "gentleman". Over the years of the Southern and Northern Expeditions, how many people have stained my hands? Blood, hehe, I dare not be called a gentleman."
