There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Dian Wei and Zhang He were both envious and admired.

The pottery merchant really avenged them and let Lu Bu know what is really not particular.

Mr. Taiping's sharpness really deserves his reputation.

It is really admirable.

After returning to the camps of each family, Zhang He was immediately greeted by Yuan Shao to his tent.

In Yuan Jun's tent at this moment, only Yuan Shao is sitting quietly.

"The general has seen the lord." Zhang Yun clasped his hands and clasped his hands in salute.

Yuan Shao was reviewing his hands, when he saw Zhang Xi coming in, without raising his eyelids, he said casually, "Go to Tao Zidu?"

Zhang He nodded and replied respectfully: "Young Master Taiping defeated Lu Bu, captured the red rabbit horse skillfully, slapped Lu Bu in the face severely, and avenged the last general with a halberd. Out of courtesy, the final general went to Mr. Tao Say thanks."

Yuan Shao casually put down the bamboo slips in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and said leisurely: "Jun, what do you think of Tao Zidu?"

Zhang He hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and then replied cautiously: "A shrewd person, a young and talented man."

"Smart man, Jun, you are also a young talent. Do you know what Yuan's real intention was when he sent you to supervise the army in the pottery camp?" Yuan Shao stared fixedly at Zhang He and smiled.

Zhang He felt a little uneasy, and said, "Your Majesty, the last general has a little guess. Do you want me to get acquainted with Tao Jun's army?"

Yuan Shao nodded his head, and said appreciatively, "Yuan did not misunderstand you, so can you live up to Yuan's painstaking efforts?"

Zhang He straightened his back, and replied respectfully: "Of course, the last general will not disappoint my lord's expectations! The last general has already seen the strength of Tao's army."

Yuan Shao nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's so good, handsome, Yuan has something that needs you to handle it. At this time, there are no outsiders in the camp. According to Yuan's words, you can't go up to the sky, and you can't go down." The land only enters your ears, do you understand Yuan Mou's meaning?"

Zhang Yun's heart tensed up immediately, and he hurriedly said, "Please tell me, my lord!"

Yuan Shao stood up slowly, and told Zhang Yun what he wanted to arrange word by word.

And behind Zhang Yun, Yuan Shao was already dripping with cold sweat before Yuan Shao finished speaking.

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, the entire commander's tent fell into a deadly silence.

"My lord, it would be too much to do this."

Yuan Shao frowned.

"What do you want to say?"

Zhang He was speechless all of a sudden.

Facing Yuan Shao's might, Zhang Xi was at a loss for words.

A little time

But Zhang Xi took a deep breath, and solemnly clasped his fist at Yuan Shao.

"promise!"

Yuan Shao nodded in satisfaction, and said: "That's right, Jun, do things more cleanly, don't let me down Among the generals of the three armies, the person who can take over Qu Yi's position in the future, in Yuan's opinion, is only you That's all."

Chapter 278 The Spy Is an Old Man

The matter in the Central Plains was over, and the potters and others packed up their soldiers and horses, and then returned to Xuzhou.

Cao Cao was very interested in the pottery merchants. He let the border go out and allowed the pottery merchants to pass through the territory of Yanzhou directly and return to Xuzhou. Therefore, they saved a lot of time on the way.

During this battle against Dong Zhuo, Cao Bao admired the potter's ability and ability to respond from the bottom of his heart.

Cao Bao himself did not play much role in this battle, but he has been following the potter, observing his actions quietly.

If it is said that the reason why Cao Bao wanted to give his daughter Cao Yuan to the pottery merchant was because the pottery merchant received Xu Zijiang's cross-gold evaluation and the pottery merchant's contribution to enlisting for his father last time. The potter's attitude turned into his heartfelt approval.

Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. This kid's ability is indeed extraordinary. If Xuzhou is inherited by him in the future, his development may not lose to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Those who can survive from the hands of the world's most powerful generals, and those who trap Chitu Ma, are not good stubbles in any state.

Although Cao Bao is also a member of the gentry, he is not as shrewd as Mi Zhu in essence, nor is he as clever as Chen Deng.

He is a soldier, and he has the heartiness of a soldier in his bones. Once he recognizes a certain person, he will recognize him from the bottom of his heart, and generally it will not change.

Such a person can really be called a dead-hearted person.

The soldiers and horses of the Xuzhou Army returned to the territory of Xuzhou and came to Jiuli Mountain. During the rainy season, the heavy rain fell suddenly. In desperation, the Xuzhou Army had to postpone the march.

A group of soldiers and horses were in the woods near Jiuli Mountain, looking for a place that could shelter from the wind and rain, and set up camp to take shelter from the rain.

Taking advantage of the rain to set up camp, the potter wanted to take a good rest, but unexpectedly, Cao Bao came to drink with the potter with a big jar of wine in his arms.

Now that this guy is full of approval for the pottery merchant in his heart, the next step is to further draw in his feelings.

In fact, the pottery merchant was very tired during this time. If someone else asked her to drink, the pottery merchant might be kicked out immediately.

But the other party is one of the leaders of the gentry in Xuzhou and the leader of Pengcheng's army, so he has to be given some face.

Asking the sergeant to bring some food, the potter and Cao Bao began to drink and drink.

Before this expedition, the pottery merchants had already promulgated a ban on alcohol in the army because of Guo Jia's affairs, but the wine Cao Bao brought was labor wine sent by Tao Qian before the soldiers and horses entered the territory of Xuzhou. So in a sense it's not a violation.

The dishes are not bad, most of them are some wild vegetables, and there is also a deer that Cao Bao shot and hunted during the day, and the sergeant was ordered to cook part of it.

The wine was Yanxiong wine, a fine local wine in Pengcheng. After taking a sip, the potter still felt that it was a little bland, and somehow not quite right.

Bite the bullet and drink a few drinks for Cao Bao, and the two began to chat endlessly.

There has been a lot of nonsense between the official circles of the past dynasties, especially with people who have no background like Cao Bao, they basically can't talk about anything dry.

"The young master led the army this time, and fought another big victory. Even the old thief Dong died in this battle. The young master is famous all over the world. After Bao Bao returned to Xuzhou this time, he had to speak to the envoy no matter what he said, and let the envoy Give the young master a great reward."

The pottery merchant replied absent-mindedly: "Thanks to Duke Cao's love for the wrong one, you can just figure it out."

Cao Bao continued: "This time when Cao watched the young master's use of troops, it was really like a god's help. Cao admired him very much. After all, if Cao was in charge of the army himself, he would never have achieved such a great achievement. Waiting for this When I returned to Pengcheng for the first time, Cao wanted to prepare a little gift and send it to the lord to Jinling City. It has no other meaning, it is purely gratitude, and the young master must accept it when the time comes."

Looking at the pouring rain outside the tent, the potter was lost in thought: "Thanks to Mr. Cao's mistaken love, you can just figure it out."

Cao Bao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and asked again: "The marriage between the little girl Cao Yuan and the young master should be put on the agenda. After returning to Pengcheng, Cao will send her directly to the young master's mansion, how about it?"

The pottery merchant was still absent-minded: "Thanks to General Cao for falling in love with me wrongly, you can figure it out"

Speaking of this, the potter suddenly woke up.

"What did you say?"
