There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Tao Shang stretched out his hand towards Huangfusong, and said with a smile: "The most important thing is that I have Mr. Huangfu who is very familiar with the Yellow Turban Army helping me. How can a crony like Niu Fu be compared with us?"

Wang Yun was politically sensitive, so he asked a key question: "Even so, why are you not going back to Xuzhou, why are you attacking Baibo Yellow Turban? What is the purpose?"

Tao Shang raised his face righteously: "Share the country's worries."

Wang Yun frowned when he heard the words, four words that sound nice, how could they be so awkward when they came out of this child's mouth?

Even so, Wang Yun did not point him out.

"But the expedition to the north is a military matter after all." The pottery merchant seemed a little hesitant when he said this, "you are both elders and female relatives. It is hard work and inconvenient to accompany the army. Why don't I let you go?" Mi Fang, let me send someone to send you back to Xuzhou first, and Wang Situ can also meet my father first? How about it?"

Hearing this, Wang Yun nodded and was about to agree, but suddenly heard Diao Chan say: "We should go to Hanoi with Mr. Tao, so we can take care of us."

Wang Yun was stupefied, sighed to himself, and secretly laughed in his heart that this daughter's thoughts are really obvious, since she has such thoughts, the pottery merchant is also from a famous family, and she is considered to be in the same family as the Wang family in Taiyuan. Difficult?

The potter was surprised: "I am going to fight a war, what kind of help do I need?"

Diao Chan's face turned red, and she cursed a fool in her heart.

Diao Chan thought about his words and said intermittently: "It's not Mr. Tao that you need to take care of, but we are old and weak and are female relatives. From Luoyang to Xuzhou, across the entire Central Plains, there are fewer soldiers protecting us from the Central Plains. It is easy for everyone to be in danger and there are too many soldiers to send, so it will delay the important affairs of the young master. In short, in short, it is right for the few of us to follow the young master."

The potter couldn't help but looked back and forth at the few people in surprise.

"What's the reason for that?"

"That's right." Wang Yun stood up and said to the pottery merchant, "What the old man and daughter said makes sense. There are many thieves in the Central Plains. We, the old and the weak, will be safer following your army. Besides, after we arrived in Hanoi County, we will be in the middle of the river. Settle down in the city of Hanoi, you can fight against the Baibo army later, the old man and others will not make trouble for you."

Wang Yun said so, and the potter secretly thought that was the only way to do it.

"Okay, if you go to Hanoi County as you like, you can stay in the city well, and I will join forces with Wang Kuang and Bao Xin to send troops to Baibo Valley."

Baibo Valley is close to Linfen County, Hedong County, and Guo Da, the leader of the Baibo Army, led his troops to build a fort here.

Guo Da used to be one of the commanders of the 36 squares, but his reputation was not obvious. However, after the Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed, the commanders of the various parties began to operate independently. fame spread out.

In recent years, the number of Baibo soldiers under Guo Da's command, including their family members, has grown to 16, and there are four yellow turban deputy commanders under his command.

No.1 is Yang Feng, No.2 is Han Xian, No.3 is Li Le, and No.4 is Hu Cai.

In the past few years, the Baibo army has continuously attacked the city, harassed the city, and even went down to Taiyuan County, Hedong County, and Hanoi County. Many ordinary people in Bingzhou were harassed by the Baibo army. They could only migrate one after another and fled south to Guanzhong. Or head east to Liyang.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or really capable, since the Baibo army defeated the troops of Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu last year, they became famous all of a sudden. Another big force in the Yellow Turban after that.

The Baibo Valley, where the Baibo Army was stationed, has now been transformed into a fortress by the Baibo Army, similar to a military base.Guo Da, the leader of the Baibo Army, named the fortress Zibo City.

From the east of Pau City, it is close to the flow of the Fen River, backed by the cliff, and across the river is the valley road between Gujinyang and Dongdong.Its back walls are cliff gullies artificially made by Baibo soldiers and huge earth fortresses built into walls.Among the earthen castles, the largest one has the smallest circumference of one mile.The walls of the fortress are three feet high and two feet thick. There are tunnels connecting each earthen fortress. During wartime, the tunnels can be used to transfer troops so that the enemy can't see them. There are protective trenches dug outside the earthen fortresses.

Most of the earthen fortresses of the Baibo Army were built on the cliffs, and the walls were built with the help of cliffs instead of slabs as much as possible.

Guo Da relied on such steep fortifications to treat any crusade against the officers and soldiers as nothing.

After reaching an agreement with Yuan Shao, the potters finally packed up their troops and marched towards Hanoi.

Going with him was Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, heroes rose together, and there were countless heroes. People like Bao Xin who died young made many people in later generations ignore him.

But after getting along with Bao Xin several times, the potter found that this Bao Xiangguo was quite magnanimous, and his loyalty to the emperor and patriotism was second to none among the princes.

When he was chasing Dong Zhuo before, Bao Xin resolutely sent troops to help after the potter's persuasion, but this time Yuan Shao asked him to join the potter's crusade against the Baibo army, and Bao Xin agreed without hesitation.

On the way to Hanoi together, Bao Xin also had a lot of contacts with pottery merchants. Bao Xin was obviously very saddened by the chaotic situation in the world today.

Faced with Bao Xin's concern for the country and the people, the pottery merchant didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only try to find some nice words to comfort him.

"General Bao, I feel that although the world is in chaos today, it is not hopeless. Just like Yuan Shao is the fourth generation and third prince. After a famous family, he himself is quite magnanimous. I feel that with him as the axis, everyone will be united. Help the world and save the people from fire and water." During the march that day, the pottery merchant and Bao Xin talked about the chaos in the world, and the pottery merchant used these words to test Bao Xin.

Hearing this, Bao Xin took a deep look at the pottery merchant, stroked his beard and said, "Does Mr. Tao really think so?"

Seeing Bao Xin's expression seemed a little wrong, the potter couldn't help feeling a little interested.

"Then according to General Bao's opinion, in today's world, apart from Yuan Shao, who else has the ability to help the world?"

Bao Xin said to Tao Shang very seriously: "Young master Tao, believe it or not, in today's world, the only person who can lead the heroes to bring order out of chaos is Cao Cao!"

The potter raised his eyebrows slightly.

Unexpectedly, Bao Xin is quite discerning, and his eyes are quite poisonous.

Chapter 100 Taishan Giant Pingbing

On the way to Hanoi, Bao Xin was interacting with potters.

"Young Master Tao." Bao Xin continued the topic just now: "When you invited Bao and Meng De to pursue Dong Zhuo together, Bao felt that you were different from ordinary young people. Your courage is much stronger than ordinary people, and this time you dared to take the initiative to attack the Baibo bandits, which really made Bao a little bit more respectful of you. It seems that although the young master is young, he is loyal to the emperor and serves the country. Is it no less than others."

The potter gritted his teeth and said inwardly ashamed

Bao Xin was loyal to the emperor and served the country, which the potters believed very much.

But if he said that he was a person who was loyal to the emperor and served the country, Tao Shang was afraid that if he said this, he would be struck by lightning.

"General Bao praised it too much, Tao can't afford such an evaluation."

Bao Xin laughed: "Why is Mr. Tao so modest?"

"It's really not modesty this time"

Seeing the Tao merchant's modest resignation, Bao Xin nodded with satisfaction. This child was well educated by Tao Qian and has a modest and gentlemanly style. He may be a pillar of the Han Dynasty in the future. As a senior, he needs to be well supported this time , Can't let such a good seedling be ruined.

"Young Master Tao, although you intend to attack the Baibo army to eliminate thieves for the country, the Baibo army is still quite powerful after all. There are only two groups of foreign soldiers, you and me, and there is not much food and grass. It can be said that it is very difficult to deal with them. The next time we go to Hanoi, we still need to find a way to persuade the princes to march with us together."

According to Bao Xin, the Prince's Day mentioned was naturally Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, one of the princes of the Guandong.

After listening to Bao Xin's words, the pottery merchant immediately asked: "General Bao, when I was at the Suanzao Huimeng, I didn't have much contact with this prince, at most I just said a few words, do you two know each other well?"

Bao Xin smiled, and said: "It's not a good thing to say how familiar you are, but you still know it well. After all, you used to work under the general's command back then."

The general that Bao Xin talked about refers to He Jinle, the great general who used to be in power for a while.

"Back then, Wang Gongjie served as a government official under the general's command, and he was a colleague of Baomou, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others. Wang Kuang's character was different from ours. He was not stingy and generous, but there were A minor niggle”

The potter was curious: "What's wrong?"

Bao Xin smiled bitterly and said, "How should I put it? Well, he is good at everything, but he is too timid."

"Cowardly?" The potter said in amazement, "Why are you so timid?"

Bao Xin grinned, and said with a helpless smile: "How can I say that he was confiscated by General He as a mansion on the Royal Day? Afterwards, the first reaction was to get rid of the eunuch and avenge the general, but do you know what the first reaction was when Wang Gongjie knew about this?"
