There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Ji Ling didn't dare to speak for a while.

Pointing at the messenger who received the reply, Yuan Shu said angrily, "Pull him down, cut him off!"

The envoy turned pale with shock when he heard the words, and said in a panic: "General, this subordinate is innocent!"

"Not guilty?"

Yuan Shu sneered viciously and said: "You can't even tell the difference between a gentleman and a villain, and you still say they are cultivated? What do I want blind people like you to do? Drag it out, drag it out! Cut it off!"

……

……

In fairness, the death of Yuan Shu's envoy was really wronged.

He did not die at the hands of Xu Chu, nor did he die at the hands of Yuan Shu. Strictly speaking, the pottery merchant was not the murderer who took his life.

The real reason why he lost his life was the invisible psychological struggle between people, and he died under the schemes of the two princes fighting each other, and also because of the high-level figures fighting for face. Down.

It can only be said that it is a class tragedy.

This time, the pottery merchant completely angered Yuan Shu.

Even if it is to save the face of the four generations and three princes, Yuan Shu must conquer Ruxuwu this time.

The potter knew from the very beginning what would happen if the letter was taken back by the messenger, but he had no choice.

Since we want to fight, let's have a vigorous battle between the princes who come and go.

……

……

The scorching sun that had been raging for a whole day slowly sank below the horizon, the sun has begun to gradually shrink its light, and the night is about to cover the earth.

Hearing the sound of the mountains and forests, the potter stood on the head of the fortress of Ruxuwu, wearing a silver armor and holding his sword. He looked up at the gray sky in the west until the long strip of black dots The thin line came into my eyes, there was no doubt that it was Yuan Shu's army!

Because they are all southern soldiers and horses, Yuan Shu's cavalry is not many, but even so, the thicker and thicker lines are also reminding the pottery merchant how much the opponent he is facing at this time has. Strong military force.

A huge army of 10 people!

"It came so fast." The pottery merchant took a deep breath, put away his usual laughing look, and inadvertently showed a trace of worry in his eyes.

Chen Deng's figure appeared behind the potter.

No matter how the Xuzhou gentry and the Tao clan restrained each other on weekdays, when facing foreign enemies, everyone was still united.

The purpose is nothing more than other things, just to be able to protect the homeland where they live in peace and the interests of each family.

There is no love for no reason, no hatred for no reason in the world, and there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu's army has arrived faster than expected. It seems that after receiving the letter from the lord, this decisive battle is inevitable."

The pottery merchant took a deep breath, and said, "I wrote that letter to anger Yuan Shu, and the purpose was to force him to a quick decisive battle, so that Yuan Shu would not have time to carefully plan against our weaknesses when he was furious. ...as long as he chooses to use the method of land warfare for a quick battle, then Tao will not be afraid to fight him upright."

Chen Dengchang sighed, and said with some regret: "Your Majesty is afraid that Yuan Shu will find out that we don't have a navy, so he will attack Jinling City by water, isn't it?"

The potter was silent when he heard the words.

Chen Deng's guess was not wrong.

The reason why the pottery merchant was anxious to anger Yuan Shu was that he didn't want Yuan Shu to plan carefully and choose to attack Ruxuwu in a fit of rage.

But this method, even if it can be deceived for a while, can it really deceive Yuan Shu forever?

Yuan Shu now thinks that he will win, and is extremely angry in his heart.

But if after he calmed down, and found out that the potters really lacked navy, how should this big omission be solved?

When Chen Deng thought of this, his head ached.

But he has no choice.

No matter how resourceful he is, it is impossible to conjure a navy out of thin air with his head.

At the moment, it can only be said after defeating Yuan Shu in this round of the land battle.

For the rest, after defeating Yuan Shu, don't make any plans while sitting here.

Seeing that Yuan Shu's army was getting closer and closer to Ruxuwu, the potter's hands couldn't help sweating.

Pottery merchants and soldiers will never engage in a decisive battle with the enemy unless it is absolutely necessary. But then again, they don't like to fight the enemy head-on, but it doesn't mean that the pottery merchant is afraid of a decisive battle with the enemy, but in the inertial thinking of the pottery merchant, always It is the hope that the minimum sacrifice can be exchanged for the maximum benefit, which is the purpose for him.

But in today's battle, he must defeat Yuan Shu head-on.

Although Yuan Shu had a lot of soldiers, most of them were recruits who had just been recruited in recent years. He thought that if he had a large number of people, he would be able to win. Today, the pottery merchant wants to let Yuan Shu know what is the real elite of the world.

"Report—!"

A scout hurried towards the pottery merchant, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are coming in five formations. The vanguard infantry in the front has a total of 2 infantry, and the leader is Yuan Shu's new governor of Yuzhou, Sun Ben. Sima Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Zhu Zhi!"

"Understood, call Xu Rong, Xu Huang, Tao Ji, and Xu Chu over here."

The scouts led away, and when they were young, they saw the four generals under the command of the pottery merchant striding forward.

The potter turned around and said calmly: "You four have been training soldiers and horses in Danyang County for almost a year. How do you feel about the strength of our [-] troops in Danyang County?"

The four looked at each other for a while, but suddenly heard Tao Ji say: "More than training, not enough tempering."

The pottery merchant glanced back and forth at the four people, and said in a deep voice, "In this case, let them hone their abilities in actual combat."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at the enemy army in the distance, and the pottery merchant said solemnly: "Is it possible to train an army of 10 soldiers?"

When the four people heard the words, they all straightened their faces.

But seeing Xu Huang stepping out first, he said loudly: "Danyang generals, you are not afraid of death! Please give orders!"

"Very good." The pottery merchant nodded appreciatively, and raised his voice: "You four, each lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, and divide the main force of the Chinese army into four, use the position of Ruxuwu as the gate, and use the trenches to guard In front of Ruxuwu, there is grassland and flat land, which is good for cavalry to charge. Fortunately, Yuan Shu's subordinates are mainly infantry, encouraging soldiers and guarding the fortress. You need to fight in the order I arranged for you yesterday, and you can't do it without authorization, do you know?"

The four of them clasped their fists loudly and said, "No!

The pottery merchant turned to look at Xu Huang, and said in a deep voice, "General Xu, the responsibility for the final strike is on you, and your task is also the heaviest, so I will leave everything to you."

Xu Huang took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Fujun, Xu Huang will definitely abide by what he said yesterday."
