There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

According to the potter's judgment, Bai Rao probably didn't even know how big the area was "from the Taihang Mountains in the west, from the south of Yanjin Ferry along the Yellow River to Daliang to Yingyang in the south".

Such a thing is indeed possible.

In the Han Dynasty, reading was a very extravagant thing. Although the Han Dynasty already had the application principles of engraving, overprinting, coloring, engraving and tape application, hollow plate overprinting, and "clamping" , but due to the backwardness of material processing and the lack of materials after a long period of turmoil, the output of bamboo slips and chapters is still very low.

The gentry competed for manuscripts, and they couldn't even look at it for a hundred dollars. People from the bottom of the poor like Bai Rao might even be able to see what the rubbings of Chinese characters looked like, and their knowledge is even more conceivable.

People who can't afford to read have probably never seen the maps of states and counties a few times.

Within a county, the number of people who have a sheepskin map of the county in their home can be counted by adding their fingers and toes.

People like Bai Rao, who were born at the bottom, grew up, if they could see a map within a hundred miles of the county where they lived, they would be considered lucky by their ancestors.

But Bai Rao obviously didn't want others to dismiss him as uneducated.

Seeing Guo Jia's eloquence, his words were clear, and he looked very disgusted, so he didn't care whether it was true or not, so he patted his chest and pretended to agree.

"Mr.'s words, even in my heart, coincide with Bai's. This matter is indeed beneficial to you and me."

Obviously, Marshal Bai's vanity is a bit strong, or he may have low self-esteem, so he pretends to understand.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Since that's the case, it shouldn't be too late. After drinking this wine, Guo will go south immediately. When he succeeds in the future, there will be a day to meet Marshal Bai."

The potter raised his eyebrows quickly at a speed that no one could catch, then he stood up, cupped his hands at Bai Rao, and said, "I have to go back to Xuzhou first, and my elder brother wants to go south to achieve great things. But I can’t go without protection, brother, how about letting the younger brother lead the troops to escort the elder brother across the river, so that Marshal Bai can rest assured?"

Guo Jia originally wanted to say no, but on second thought, if he didn't follow what the pottery merchant said, if Bai Rao had a whim and sent soldiers from Montenegro to protect him all the way south to persuade Liu Pi and Gong Du to surrender, then this matter would be a big deal. It's not easy.

Who would really go after those fools.

Now that the pottery merchant is willing to give himself a step down, why can't he give him a step down in turn?

"Since that's the case, then I have to worry about my brother."

Bai Rao drank very happily today, and he was able to get to know Yuan Shao's godson and two of them at once. It can be said to be very happy. In addition, Guo Jiashi made a "plan for the future" for both parties. , even if you can't understand it, but it won Bai Rao's heart.

Since the friendship is already so deep, why should we care about this time of reunion?

Standing up while hiccupping, Bai Rao stretched out his hand, humming and hahaha: "Bai sent off two sons!"

The expressions of the potter and Guo Jia couldn't help but change simultaneously.

"It's sending off Duke Yuan's two godsons!" Bai Rao hastily changed his tune.

A group of people waited, and just got acquainted with Bai Rao of the Black Mountain Army in such a strange way.

Before leaving, Bai Rao and Sui Gu still had bright smiles on their faces, and waved goodbye to the potter and others vigorously.

The potter looked at Bai Rao carefully, and suddenly an idea occurred to him.

No matter what the purpose was at the beginning, today I finally met this Marshal Bai of the Black Mountain Army. Although this man has the ferocity and viciousness of a bandit in his bones, but he has a lot of love for himself, the "Yuan's foster son". It is quite agreeable, in fact, this can be regarded as a good relationship.

As a commander of the Black Mountain Army, Bai Rao's status is not low. If he can save this man's life, when he meets the Black Mountain Army in the future, there may be another dark move to play?

It's up to people to make things happen, so you might as well give it a try.

When he was about to say goodbye to Bai Rao, he saw the pottery merchant suddenly turned his head, smiled at Bai Rao and said, "Marshal Bai, when we parted, Tao had a good word to give, I wonder if Marshal Bai would listen to it? "

Bai Rao didn't expect the pottery merchant to send him a congratulatory speech before leaving, he was very happy, he laughed, and said carelessly: "If you have anything to say, Mr. Tao, it's okay to say it!"

The pottery merchant pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "Tao is not talented, he has learned the art of the Three Changes, I think the fate of Marshal Bai is in the north, and he is afraid of going south. Within a few years, if there is a war in the south of the Yellow River , I also hope that Marshal Bai will care about himself, don't go, if you can stay in Hebei, then stay in Hebei."

Chapter 163 Treating You Sincerely

The pottery merchant persuaded Bai Rao not to cross the river in recent years and stay in Hebei, Bai Rao was shocked when he heard this.

Some time ago, the leader Zhang Yan had summoned the commanders of the Black Mountain Army, intending to go south to the Yellow River and expand his strategy to Yanzhou. For this southern expedition, Zhang Yan seemed to be more interested in Bai Rao and another Montenegrin general, Yu Du.

That meeting was a secret among secrets, and only the leaders of the Black Mountain Army participated. If Yuan Shao's godson wanted to know the details, it was absolutely impossible. He said he understood the Three Changes, could it be true?

Bai Rao himself was an uneducated idler at the bottom of society in the Han Dynasty. Because of his low quality and lack of culture, he believed in some theories of gods and ghosts. It's pure bullshit.

In history, Bai Rao attacked Dongjun together with Yu Du, Sui Gu and others in the second year of Chuping. Although he succeeded for a while, he eventually attracted Cao Cao. Bai Rao was defeated and died. After the battle, Cao Cao was able to enter Yanzhou smoothly and gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou.

Bai Rao was inexplicably disturbed, and immediately bid farewell to the potters, Guo Jia and the others. He himself led the troops and headed for the headquarters of the Black Mountain Army, saying that the general who went south to invade Yanzhou this time had to persuade Zhang Yan to make a change. Whoever wants to go, Bai will stay north of the Yellow River!

Seeing that Bai Rao and others returned to the camp and led the Black Mountain soldiers and horses to go away, the potter couldn't help but heaved a long sigh of relief.

Another pass.

At this time, Han Hao also led the [-] Taishan Army to arrive. He looked up and down the pottery merchant for a while, and asked, "My lord, are you okay?"

The pottery merchant waved his hand, indicating that Han Hao was okay, and then looked at Guo Jia.

"Guo Jia, a native of Yangzhai in Yingchuan, whose style name is Fengxiao, has a close friendship with all the students of Yingchuan Academy in the past dynasties, and has won the friendship of Xun and Chen clansmen in Yingchuan. Qun, Xin Ping and the others are friends, and the rest are all from the Yingchuan gentry family, but you are the only one who can be ranked with them because you are from a poor family, because you have the talent to fly through the universe, and the ghosts and gods can't tell the difference, right?"

When the pottery merchant said what he said, Guo Jia had a lot of scheming and had the ability to adapt to changing situations, so he couldn't help being a little flustered by him, and he was secretly surprised.

The household registration of the Guo family in Yingchuan is in Yangdi. This pottery merchant is from Xuzhou. Where did he find out?

Even the details that he knows about all the friends he makes on weekdays, what does this kid do?

Suspiciously looking up and down the potter, Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you know Guo before?"

Tao Shang didn't answer, but sighed from the bottom of his heart, and murmured: "I never thought that pretending to be a son can actually pretend to be a ghost brother. Your appearance is indeed much brighter than mine."

After finishing speaking, the potter suddenly straightened his sleeves, bowed slightly, and made a long bow to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was taken aback when he saw this, he just spent a while in the tent with the potters and Bai Rao, and he knew that although the person in front of him was not Yuan Shao's godson, he was the real son of Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou, the Danyang Tao family. The current eldest son, the future family leader.

For an offshoot like Guo Jia, it was the first time that a nobleman saluted him so respectfully.

Seeing the pottery merchant treat him so courteously, Guo Jia couldn't help but heaved a long sigh and waved his hands, showing a rare serious expression.

"Forget it, Mr. Tao, why do you have to do such a courtesy? Guo is a Confucianist, how can he bear such treatment? I don't blame you for deliberately running on me just now."

The pottery merchant smiled when he heard the words, it turned out that Guo Jia thought that he did this big gift to apologize for some rash words just now, but he didn't know that this time my son was seeking talent.

Duke Mu of Qin paid a lot of money to welcome Uncle Jian, Duke Huan of Qi paid homage to the corporal, and Liu Xuande paid three visits to the thatched hut. Today, the great talent fell in front of Tao. How can I, a pottery merchant, not follow the example of famous people and invite him to be an official?

"Mr. Guo, to tell you the truth, I am a pottery merchant from Xiadanyang. I have admired Mr. Guo's name for a long time, and I can see it today. It is God's will. The pottery merchant is young and inexperienced. He is not qualified to invite him to be an official. Dust-ridden, Tao wanted to contribute his meager contribution to the Han dynasty, but because of his meager knowledge, he might not be able to compete with the tigers and wolves of the world. It was fate to see Mr. Tao today. Tao wanted to invite Mr. Tao to become an official. Tao is willing to treat him as a teacher!"

After the pottery merchant finished speaking, not only Guo Jia, but also Xu Huang and Han Hao froze in place.

The pottery merchant is the eldest son of the Tao family in Danyang, and the eldest son of the governor, and he is judged by Xu Zijiang as the "Prince Taiping". Dong Zhuo was granted the title of governor of Danyang, and the city is worth two thousand stones, but in the future he will be able to hold an ox and become a leader among the young heroes of the world.

As for this Guo Jia, not to mention the children of the side branch, he looked extremely shabby in his attire. Looking at his thin and sickly appearance, whether he could have enough to eat was a question. Why did the pottery merchant treat him so respectfully? Not self-degrading?

But that's what the pottery merchant had in mind at the moment.
