There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao chuckled and said, "Brother Tao, do you know what is court? What is the world?"

The potter pondered for a while: "The court is the government, the world is governed, and politics depends on the situation, the people, the luck, the strength and the heart."

This time, it was Cao Cao's turn to be surprised: "Brother, what you said is quite novel, but it fits my heart very well!"

Bian Yu'er has been standing by the side without interjecting, but at this moment she had to smile and say: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Tao knows so much at such a young age. It's amazing."

The pottery merchant hurriedly said modestly: "Second sister-in-law praised me."

Bian Yu'er smiled sweetly: "I know a lot about people and the world. Sister-in-law is just sister-in-law, and I just add the word "sister-in-law", why? I'm afraid I will meet a real sister-in-law in the future, so I won't be able to call her out?"

Cao Cao waved his hand, pointed at Bian Yuer and said, "Don't make fun of me!"

Bian Yu'er stuck out her tongue, stepped back and stopped talking.

Cao Cao turned his head and continued: "Brother has a unique understanding of court politics. It's not that Dong Zhuo doesn't understand the simple truth. How can he get support when he is in power? In fact, Cao Mou agrees with some of Dong Zhuo’s policies. When Dong Zhuo first entered the capital, he took the lead in eliminating the disaster of the party and recruiting talented people. These measures are all good in Cao Mou’s opinion ,pity"

The pottery merchant has now recovered from his pain: "It's a pity that Dong Zhuo's friendly gestures to the gentry have not received a response. After all, this world is the world of the gentry. A bandit leader from the northwest wants to dominate the government. Bureaucrats How could the big clans compromise with him? One by one, Dong Zhuo was forced to cut the mess with a sharp knife, and if he was too soft, he would simply kill him, and it would be over once and for all."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's right. For Dong Zhuo, this is the easiest and most helpless way."

Chapter 34 The Prime Minister

The potter was drinking in Cao Cao's military camp. The two talked a lot, and they talked about the past, which was also a harvest for the potter.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, both of them were a little drunk before they knew it.

At this juncture, Xu Chu led the people to Cao Cao's camp, saying bluntly that he was here to fetch the potters back to the camp.

It was Pei Qian who was hinted by the pottery merchant and rushed back to bring Xu Chu to serve as a rescuer.

After Xu Chu came to Cao Ying, he was not polite, and strode into Cao Cao's handsome tent, and stood upright behind the potter, standing still and powerful!The provoking Cao Cao praised again and again, and his eyes kept showing admiration, as if a hungry wolf saw the little fat sheep, and both eyes were about to glow green.

The potter was quite embarrassed by Cao Cao's eyes and drooling expression.

After a few more courteous words, the potter got up and said goodbye. Cao Cao had made friends with the potter today, and he didn't force him to stay, so he got up and saw him off in person.

After the Tao merchant bid farewell to Cao Cao, he returned to the camp of the Xuzhou Army with Xu Chu and his guards. On the way, Xu Chu asked the Tao merchant, "Unexpectedly, that black dwarf is really Cao Cao. You also invite the eldest son to drink, but what is the idea?"

"I guess they just want to make friends, there aren't so many plots and schemes." The potter looked up at the dark night sky and murmured.

Xu Chu didn't understand, and said, "Missing your mother, this kid was beaten by us before, and he doesn't hold grudges against us, yet he still wants to make friends? What kind of routine is this?"

The pottery merchant said with a smile: "He has a mind like the ocean, and he doesn't care about small things. This is the person who does big things. There is nothing strange about it."

Xu Chu shook his head: "It's a trivial matter to be beaten like that? A certain family is really convinced, but if you don't tell me, I really can't believe that there are such people in this world."

The potter secretly thought that if you knew that Cao Cao's son died in the hands of Zhang Xiu in history and accepted his surrender, maybe you wouldn't think so.

People in later generations have more or less artistically processed the image of Cao Cao, but the potter didn't take it seriously. At least in his mind, it is impossible for a person who is only suspicious, treacherous, and cunning to become the overlord who unifies northern China The reason why Cao Cao was able to become the most powerful prince at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty must be that he had a mind, ambition, ideal, and tolerance that others could hardly hope for.

Just by looking at the word Songlixing, one can get a glimpse of the leopard and know his heart of worrying about the country and the people.

After formulating a strategy to defeat Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao arranged for the princes to hold an unprecedented swearing-in meeting and blood ceremony in Suanzao the next day.

Yuan Shao arranged for his soldiers to build a tall sacrificial ceremony in Suanzao County. The platform was two feet high and had three floors. Fifty five-party flags were arranged around it. Ask for a fight.

The ancients attached great importance to the ceremony of sacrifice. Sometimes, a good sacrifice ceremony is the best and most convenient way to improve morale.

After slaughtering pigs and sheep, the sacrifices were sent to the altar. After the princes worshiped the heaven and the earth, they invited Yuan Shao to the altar.

Yuan Shao dressed up and sabered, and went up, burned incense and worshiped again, and recited the oath of the covenant aloud.

"The Han Dynasty is unlucky, and the emperor's principles are out of order. The traitor Dong Zhuo, taking advantage of the quarrel, harmed the supreme, and abused the common people. Fearing the loss of the country, Shao and others gathered righteous soldiers and went to the country. All of us are allies, work together, so that Ministers, there must be no two ambitions. If you have this alliance, you will lose your life, and there will be no inheritance. The emperor's queen, the ancestors' bright spirits, we all learn from it!"

All the princes burst into tears because of their generous speech.

Although the oath is heroic and powerful, it also counts for whom it is aimed at. For the princes and the Kwantung soldiers, it may be an inspiring, tearful, and morale-inspiring word of alliance.

But to the potter, Yuan Shao's words were no different from a hypnosis book, after a lot of rambling, he just confused what the potter said, and kept shaking in place, it was really sleepy.

After reciting the oath of alliance, Yuan Shao said generously: "Everyone, let's fight against Dong Bandit together. Today, let's serve wine! Make an oath with blood!"

The Tao merchant was ignorant and about to fall asleep standing up, but when he heard this cry, he immediately became more energetic!

"Do you want to donate blood?"

Standing next to the pottery merchant was Bao Xin, chancellor of Jinbei, who was brave and loyal to the Han Dynasty. He Jin was under the command of He Jin in the past, and he was a good soldier along with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Bao Xin turned his head to look at the potter with good intentions, chuckled, and said, "Blood is an alliance, so of course some blood must be spilled!! Otherwise, how can we strengthen our determination to march in the army? The fusion of all blood is to show the world that we are advancing together." With the intention of retreating!"

The potter's Adam's apple rolled, and he asked Bao Xin in a low voice, "Did you cut your fingers?"

Bao Xin laughed out loud when he heard this, and shook his head again and again: "Of course not!"

The potter let out a sigh of relief.

Bao Xin continued to speak loudly: "If you cut your finger, you have to cut your wrist!"

The potter almost didn't cry when he heard this.

"I'm not in good health and can only donate 200."

The potter couldn't help bargaining, so some soldiers had prepared a wine cauldron and a scimitar, and presented them to each of the princes. The potter squinted at Bao Xin beside him, picked up the scimitar, without blinking his brows, and pointed it at his own sword. The wrist was cut off severely!

For a moment, the blood on Bao Xin's wrist was rushing down in a straight line, as if a major artery had been cut by mistake, it was amazing to see.

The pottery merchant pointed at Bao Xin, and turned to ask the soldier who won the tripod: "He lost so much, can he give it to me?"

The soldier didn't buy it, he turned around and handed the tripod and another unused knife to the potter.

"Brother, I think there is a lot of blood in this cauldron. If you release it again, the smell will be impure. Why don't you just write it down, and next time you crusade against others, can I donate more?" The potter said cautiously to the Soldiers discuss.

The soldier frowned when he heard that, what next time?

Bao Xin just curled his lips while watching, this child is so young, how can he speak so out of tune!A man is a real man, he is so afraid of bleeding half a catty!

Regardless of whether the potter agreed or not, Bao Xin stretched out his hand and pulled up the potter's sleeve, holding a machete in his hand, like cutting pork, and chopped at the potter's white wrist.

"Slow down!"

After drinking the blood, everyone took the blood wine from the cauldron and drank it.

The potter wants to cry but has no tears to bleed, so he wants to drink it back with his mouth?What's the difference between letting the blood out and drinking it?Is there something wrong with these people?

With so much blood mixed, if someone had a messy disease, wouldn't it all spread to him?

The potter saw the right moment and secretly poured the blood wine backwards
