There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Guo Jia's thoughts were deeper than Chen Deng's: "One more thing, I don't know if the lord has thought about how to deal with the relationship between you and your father Tao Shijun if you become a general? Your father is the governor of Xuzhou, and you are the governor of Xuzhou. General, if you look back and calculate carefully, are you in charge of your father, or your father in charge of you? The danger is very dangerous, so we must be cautious."

Tao Shang looked up at the sky, and said quietly: "It's such a poisonous method, even my father was involved in it, it really doesn't mean to let me live well, it's someone who provokes who."

Chen Deng wondered: "Who is this Jia Xu? Chen has never heard of this person before."

The pottery merchant told the two of them: "Jia Xu is a wise man in Liangzhou, and he is the best at cunning tricks. In my opinion, this person's skills should be higher than those of the students in Yingchuan Academy. If he doesn't make a move, he will definitely be killed if he does." It's a unique skill! We need to be more careful."

Chen Deng was startled when he heard the words, secretly thinking that such a ghostly place in Liangzhou can still give birth to such a human spirit?

It seems that the resourceful people in this world are beyond my imagination.

Guo Jia's thinking is relatively realistic: "Jia Xu has laid down the way now, and we are waiting for us to break it, but the problem is that it is hard to get over it now, and the emperor's edict has been issued, unless you are determined not to accept it, the lord!"

The pottery merchant pondered for a while, and said: "It's the worst policy to be determined not to accept it. I have another way. I can kill many birds with one stone. That is to let the emperor take the initiative to withdraw the edict."

Chen Deng hesitated and said: "The problem is that the emperor has already issued the edict to all the princes to make the emperor a general, and at this moment the emperor suddenly withdraws the edict, whether it is for the sake of the emperor or the emperor His face is not good-looking, and once it spreads among the princes, everyone will say that the governor is afraid of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, which is somewhat inappropriate."

The pottery merchant said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I have a way to let this matter be exposed in a logical manner, and at the same time, it will not damage the face of the emperor, nor will it lose the momentum of my Xuzhou army. , there is a huge benefit to be earned!"

Chapter 352 The most virtuous courtier

In the main hall of the Fan County Mansion, Emperor Liu Xie was holding a cauldron of fresh broth, sipping it with a delicious aroma.

Even when he is growing up, but eating meat early in the morning, the child's living habits are really no one else.

The food was delicious and sweet, but a servant reported to Liu Xie that it was a pottery merchant who came to ask for an audience.

Liu Xie naturally has no reason not to see this celebrity who is currently in favor.

When I was young, I saw potters entering the hall.

Seeing Liu Xie's oil-stained mouth, Mr. Taiping frowned involuntarily, feeling somewhat disgusted in his heart.

It's not about how clean the potter is, the problem is that this brat's eating habits really shouldn't be advocated. If you drink broth for breakfast, then you can't take off at lunch?

Years of ups and downs had already worn away the little regal aura in this child, and instead turned him into a pure snack.

Morning and evening is also a small round face.

"The pottery minister pays his respects to His Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

Liu Xie's face blossomed with joy when he heard the title "Long Live".

This is really comforting to hear.

"Aiqing is flat! Aiqing came to court so early, could it be that there is something important to announce?"

The pottery merchant took a deep look at Liu Xie, and suddenly said: "The spies in Jizhou reported that Yuan Shao immediately got up on his horse and stepped on the three armies after receiving His Majesty's edict, turned back to Liyang, and headed straight for Fan County. As for Tian Kai, Kong Rong and others, Chen Bing has been in our Xuzhou territory for a long time, and in a flash, they will arrive together with their father and escort, and Cao Cao will also come soon. It's time for His Majesty to show his strength and re-establish the imperial court."

Liu Xieyi's audience, all the princes, came, and he couldn't help being a little excited for no reason.

This is a wonder that has not been seen for many years!

Since the last time the Kwantung princes crusade against Dong Zhuo, they have never assembled for my safety.

From this point of view, my move to Fan County this time is truly a move that shocked the world!

This time, he was able to receive such high attention from the princes, and it was all due to Tao Taiping in front of him.

Liu Xiegang wanted to praise the potter, but the potter suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, the spies in Hebei also brought back a message, saying that in the edict written to Yuan Shao, His Majesty mentioned that he wanted to be named a general. One thing, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this.

"Aiqing's spies are so powerful. Even the edict I wrote to Yuan Shao can find real people who can spy on everything. I will give you two orders in return."

Hearing what Liu Xie said, the pottery merchant knew that what Ma Xun said was true.

"Your Majesty, the position of the Great General is of great importance. The minister is young and inexperienced, and has no merit in the imperial court. If you rashly entrust me with this important position, I may not be accepted by the world."

Liu Xie was taken aback when he heard this.

He originally thought that this matter would be a surprise for his potter, but he never expected that the potter would refuse to the end.

Some time ago in Puyang, Jia Xu went to see Liu Xie late at night, and told him that in the near future, pottery merchants might take the opportunity to welcome him to leave Puyang.

And if the pottery merchant takes the emperor to Pengcheng at that time, it means that the pottery merchant is the same treacherous person as Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others, and must not be trusted!

But after all, the pottery merchant has the name of a gentleman of Taiping. If he is willing to let Liu Xie stand alone, and help Liu Xie to control the princes for Liu Xie's future, it means that this son is a rare loyal minister in the world. Then Liu Xie must find a way to win over him.

Liu Xie asked Jia Xu how to win over the potters?But the old fox Jia Xu didn't say it directly, but gave Liu Xie a kit to open when he needed it.

This is not because Jia Xu deliberately pretended to be sophisticated in front of Liu Xie, but a devious psychological tactic, which made Liu Xie, who was only 13 years old, under a vague and mysterious illusion, feel that this kit could save the Han Dynasty. The ingenuity of the room, so I have no doubts about it.

After arriving in Fan County, Liu Xie opened the kit, and Jia Xu really stated to the emperor in it that a loyal minister must be given a high position, so that he can be driven to be used by the Tian family willingly.

In addition, Jia Xu also pointed out Liu Xie indirectly, telling him that the pottery merchant himself was the son-in-law of the Wang family in Taiyuan and a disciple of Huangfusong, and his younger brother Tao Ying was also an honorary disciple of Wang Yun.

The loyalty of Wang Yun and Huangfusong was impressed in Liu Xie's heart.

Coupled with Jia Xu's pretending to be mysterious, the child was convinced of the potter's personality.

Under such conviction, Liu Xie planned to appoint the potter as a general according to the path Jia Xu had designed for him.

However, the old fox still had a little omission in the end.

His remonstrance was to allow Liu Xie to confer the title of general to the pottery merchant when the princes arrived in Fan County, so that there would be no room for maneuver in this matter.

The problem is that Liu Xie is only 13 years old after all. Compared with Jia Xu, who is nearly 13 years old, what a 50-year-old boy lacks most is calmness.

In layman's terms, it means that a dog can't hold two taels of sesame oil in its stomach.

Liu Xie couldn't hold back, and revealed the matter in advance.

Facing the inquiry from the pottery merchant, Liu Xie blushed and bowed his head without speaking.

But the pottery merchant didn't need him to answer, and he probably guessed about the matter just by looking at his expression.

Mr. Taiping showed a helpless expression, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know if this is His Majesty's idea, but His Majesty ordered you to be a general. Fortunately, this is a minister, but the one who will suffer in the future will be Your Majesty." yourself."

Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this.

I canonized myself a great general, how could I still suffer?Isn't this a happy event?

"What does Aiqing mean by this, I don't quite understand."

The pottery merchant patiently explained to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, if you want to rule Fan County alone, what do you need most right now, do you know?"

Liu Xie frowned upon hearing this, and said, "A soldier?"
