There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

After Sun Qian left, the potter immediately called Chen Deng and Guo Jia.

After listening to the message Sun Qian brought back, Guo Jia said with a smile: "From this point of view, Cao Cao should have left by the time Sun Qian arrived in Jiyin County. In this way, the time has come for us to dispatch troops quickly. !"

The potter touched his chin and said, "Although Cao Cao left to deal with the generals in Kansai, I think there should still be arrangements in Yanzhou. If a large-scale drive of troops goes to Puyang to welcome them, it is very likely that Cao Cao will From what I've noticed, by then, something will be somewhat bad."

The pottery merchant turned to look at Chen Deng, and at the same time asked for his opinion.

Chen Deng squinted his eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "It is absolutely impossible for a large group of soldiers and horses to march into Yanzhou, and they must fight quickly to take Puyang with lightning speed."

The pottery merchant weighed it in and said, "Based on the opinion of the two of you, how many people should we lead this time?"

Chen Deng and Guo Jia looked at each other, and then said in unison: "No more than five thousand!"

The potter made a rough estimate in his mind.

Two thousand Danyang elite soldiers and two thousand Taishan troops are necessary for attacking fortifications.

The heavy cavalry in Jinling City are not suitable for long-distance siege, and can only lead light cavalry with strong mobility. However, the light cavalry in Xuzhou or Jinling City are not very powerful. If you encounter the Cao Jun cavalry guarding Puyang

"I need to see Zhao Yun." The potter said deeply.

Not long after, Zhao Yun came to meet the potter.

"Brother Zilong, I have something I want to ask you to lead Baima Yicong to do it with me."

This time, Zhao Yun followed the pottery merchant to conquer the Liang country. He thought the mission had been completed, but he didn't expect the pottery merchant to let him go out with him again, so he wondered, "I don't know where Mr. Taiping wants Yun to go with you?"

The pottery merchant thought about his words, and then he told Zhao Yun about his plan to attack Puyang, the Yanzhou government.

Zhao Yun hesitated somewhat after hearing this.

This time, although Zhao Yun was the leader, he was ordered by Gongsun Zan after all.

Gongsun Zan's order was to assist Xuzhou in retreating from the enemy, but the current situation has changed. The potter is not retreating from the enemy, but wants to conquer the opponent's headquarters.

Assisting Xuzhou to attack the city and assisting Xuzhou to retreat from the enemy are two completely different concepts.

Going deep into the hinterland of Yanzhou was much more difficult than guarding Xuzhou. If it didn't work out, all the five hundred white horses that Gongsun Zan had given him would have to go inside.

Although there are only [-] cavalry, every one of them is Gongsun Zan's treasure, especially in the three battles of Jieqiao, Jumashui, and Longcou. ​​Gongsun Zan's huge cavalry unit was wiped out by Qu Yi's first ascending army by thousands , greatly hurt their vitality, and the remaining cavalry is even more precious now.

Seeing that Zhao Yun seemed to be hesitant, the Tao merchant immediately persuaded him: "Brother Zilong, Tao did not intend to retaliate against Cao Cao when he attacked Yanzhou this time, but for the sake of the whole world."

The community of the world?

This word is a bit too heavy for Zhao Yun. He is just a low-ranking cavalry general under Gongsun Zan's command now, and he has not reached this level of thought at all.

The pottery merchant patiently brainwashed him: "Since Dong Zhuo, the heroes of the world have risen side by side. Today, the people are the rulers of all the people, but they have been killed many times. After Dong Zhuo, there are Li Jue, Guo Si, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others. The country is not like that. In the country, the king is not like a king, and now it has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao. On the surface, Cao Cao is very respectful to the emperor, but in fact he is also a generation of tigers and wolves. The emperor is in his hands, and it is difficult for him to act in time. I don't know when the world of the big man will be peaceful?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun lowered his head and thought carefully for a while, then suddenly said: "Will the Son of Heaven be able to do something under the rule of Mr. Taiping?"

The pottery merchant shook his head and said, "If I act like this, what do I want to do with Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and other wolves? This time, I want to rob the emperor to Fan County, where Tian Kai, Yuan Shao, my Xuzhou, Kong Rong, Cao Cao, Gongsun Fujun and others are surrounded together, and the princes check each other, no one can control the emperor, and let your majesty govern the country."

Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard the words. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the pottery merchant in disbelief.

"The son is so righteous, and he really lives up to the name of the son of Taiping. At first, Yun thought that you wanted to take the emperor as your own, and hold the emperor to make the princes. Unexpectedly, it was such an idea for the country and the people. The young master thinks too lowly, the young master is a real gentleman!"

The potter smiled and waved his hands, somewhat embarrassed.

If the Son of Heaven was placed in Fan County, among the many forces, there would be ghosts and demons all over him, he would have no freedom in the future, and he would probably be even more aggrieved than he is now.

But the potter can't tell Zhao Yun that.

"Brother Zilong, would you like to help me stabilize the country?"

"Yun An dare not obey orders!"

The pottery merchant smiled and nodded, and secretly said to Zhao Yun: "Besides, I heard that the Son of Heaven has a lot of delicious food for the emperor. If brother Zilong can make great achievements in protecting you, His Majesty will definitely let you taste it, which is more delicious than roasted leg of lamb. too much."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to pinch his small round face, and let out a long sigh, as if resentful or expectant.

In this way, after the pottery merchants made arrangements, they gathered the five thousand elites, including Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong, and when Sun Qian went to Jiyin County to negotiate with Cao Cao, he secretly sneaked to Puyang City to rob the emperor.

In the current Puyang City, the important troops have been taken away by Cao Cao to deal with the Xiliang generals, but there is an elite army still in training, which is currently stationed in Puyang City and has not been taken away by Cao Cao.

This army of soldiers and horses is called Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Chapter 343 Puyang Wheat Field

As we all know, the tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao's command in history were the most elite cavalry, and they were commanded by Cao Chun. Because they fought bravely like tigers and leopards, they were named tiger and leopard cavalry.

At this time, the tiger and leopard cavalry had just been formed, and they didn't have much time to practice. On the battlefield on the front line, but in Puyang City, only a small cavalry of one thousand cavalry was left to help guard the city.

At this time in Puyang City, the person in charge of political affairs was Cao Cao's strategist Xun Yu, and the person in charge of military affairs were three generals of the Xiahou clan.

These three people are all brothers of Xiahoudun's family. Xiahoujie, Xiahoulian, Xiahouen Xiahouen and Xiahoulian are the same person in history. Here is a little adjustment.

In Puyang City, apart from the branch of the tiger and leopard cavalry, there are also thousands of infantry guarding it. Although the number is not very large, there is still no problem in guarding the city.

On this day, Xun Yu was reporting state affairs to Liu Xie at his temporary residence in Puyang, when he suddenly saw an official from Puyang, who hurried in and reported to the emperor and Xun Yu, saying that soldiers and horses of pottery merchants were rushing to Puyang Coming, the flags cover the sun, the speed is extremely fast, although the momentum is not big, but the momentum is quite fierce, at least there are thousands of elite soldiers.

"Xu Xuzhou Army?" Xun Yu, who was reporting to the emperor, widened his eyes and looked at the official in surprise, not knowing what to say for a while.

The emperor Liu Xie didn't understand the specific reason, and he was only 13 years old, so he didn't understand military at all.

"Xun Qing, isn't Cao Qing sending troops this time to attack Xuzhou? Why didn't Xuzhou be defeated, but let the opponent's soldiers force us to Puyang?"

Xun Yu recovered from his initial astonishment, heaved a long sigh, and secretly sighed in his heart.

As Cao Cao's confidant, Xun Yu naturally knew the real purpose of Cao Cao's conquest of Xuzhou, but he really didn't expect that with Cao Cao's resourceful layout, he accidentally let the potter take advantage of the loophole.

The omission this time is not insignificant, it seems that this Mr. Taiping is still much more troublesome than the rumors.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Although I don't know why the Xuzhou Army sent troops to Puyang, there are still thousands of soldiers in the city, and there are three generals including Xia Houlian sitting in the city. They are strong enough to defend. Your Majesty can rest easy."

Liu Xie heard that he had just let go of his heart, he had finally settled down, and he really didn't want to live a life of homelessness.

"Xun Qing, although there are soldiers and generals in the city, after all, there are only a few thousand people. If Xuzhou's army is too powerful, the city will be in danger. There are still many nobles in the city, so it is better to let them become servants to help. It may be possible to supplement the guards."

"No!"

Before Liu Xie could finish speaking, Xun Yu immediately stopped him.

Liu Xie was very upset when he heard this.

what does it mean?Before I finish speaking, you interrupt me!Is this the attitude of being a courtier?What happened to my plan?Is it that useless?

Seeing Liu Xie's unconvinced expression, Xun Yu couldn't help feeling helpless in his heart.
