There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The potter gave these emissaries a warm reception.

Yuan Shao sent envoy Xin Pi, Cao Cao sent Dong Zhao, Gongsun Zan sent Tian Yu, Kong Rong sent Fang Xiu, Tian Kai sent Wang Xiu, and Zhang Yan sent the general of the Black Mountain Army. In Suigu, Tao Qian symbolically entrusted Mi Zhu with the important task of emissary. Even Liu Biao of Jingzhou also heard the news and sent the envoy Kuai Yue.

Only Yuan Shu was so arrogant that he didn't pee in this pot at all.

For a time, the small land of Fan County became the center and focus of the whole world's attention.

The pottery merchant was not in a hurry to sell his official position. While making plans, he temporarily arranged the envoys to live in his own camp.

This was done because the potter wanted to meet privately with several of these messengers and do some secret operations.

In addition, some envoys traveled a long distance, and they had to wait for all the princes from all walks of life to arrive before starting the appointment of officials.

After all, it is a great event that is rarely seen in ten years. The potters don't want to favor one another, so don't let anyone fall behind!

This day was the first day of talks between the envoys and the potters.

Inside the tent, all the envoys stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, cautiously guarding each other, and everyone was planning the most favorable conditions for their own side.

When I was young, I saw the pottery merchant walking into the tent with a smile, and said with a kind smile to everyone: "I have been thanking you for a long time, Tao is very ashamed, it is really the emperor who issued the edict this time too urgently, and Tao wants to assist the emperor to prepare In this grand event of the Jue, I almost didn’t close my eyes for several days, so please don’t be offended by the impoliteness.”

Everyone got up one after another, and everyone was enthusiastic and hypocritical.

After saying some unnutritious greetings, the potter immediately brought the matter to the main topic.

"Everyone, the emperor moved to Fan County this time, and for the sake of setting the world, he wants to place the imperial court here."

Before the potter had finished speaking, Cao Cao's emissary Dong Zhao was the first to stand up.

But seeing the fat man looking at the potter with a half-smile, he cupped his hands and said, "Dong Zhao, I'm here to represent Cao Yanzhou to participate in the establishment of the emperor's capital. Now I don't know anything, so I want to ask Mr. Taiping for advice." .”

This time, Cao Cao took advantage of his bluff to crusade against Xuzhou to eradicate the gentry forces in Yanzhou who opposed him. In addition, he also wiped out the troubles of the generals in Xiliang and captured many horses. With one stab, losing Xiahouyuan and Xiahouen in a row, the emperor's previous victory can be said to have become nothingness.

So Dong Zhao was the first to stand up and attack the pottery on behalf of Cao Cao, which was completely expected by the pottery.

"I don't know what advice Mr. Dong has?"

Dong Zhao narrowed his eyes: "May I ask you, where was Mr. Taiping when the emperor was in trouble in Chang'an because of the chaos caused by Li Jue, Guo Si, Ma Teng, and Han Sui?"

The potter touched his chin and thought carefully for a while, before he said: "I should be in Jinling City, maybe I'm in Pengcheng, maybe I'm calming down Yan Baihu, or Mr. Ruo Rong from Xiapi asked too specifically, Tao really can't remember."

Inside the tent, the other envoys couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

Dong Zhao's face darkened: "It's a matter of national importance, so please stop joking, my lord."

The potter looked at it suspiciously, with a cute expression on his face: "I'm not joking with you. It's because it's a national event, so I don't dare to make it up. I really can't remember where I was at the time, Mr. Dong. I'm very busy. of!"

Dong Zhao gritted his teeth angrily, this nasty boy.

"Young Master Taiping, Cao Yanzhou was the one who rescued His Majesty from the fire and water when the Son of Heaven was in trouble in Chang'an, and Cao Yanzhou was the one who let His Majesty escape from the den of tigers and wolves! When he was barbaric, he raised troops to seize the holy car, such an act of rebellion and cholera, how can you be worthy of the word "Taiping?"

Facing Dong Zhao's almost scolding question, Tao Shang smiled.

There is no need for him to answer this matter at all, and someone will naturally stand up and distinguish it for him.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao's envoy Xin Pi sneered and said something.

"Mr. Dong's words are sincere, but to the great Han court, they are unreasonable. It was Cao Yanzhou who tried his best to rescue the emperor from the hands of the wolves in Guanzhong, but the emperor is the leader of the world. , is not the emperor of Cao Yanzhou alone! Mr. Taiping welcomes the emperor in Fan County, with the help of the princes of the world, helping the Han family and revitalizing the prestige of the Han family, what's wrong?"

After a pause, Simpi continued: "Is it possible that Cao Yanzhou still wants to imprison the emperor in Yanzhou and become the second Dong Zhuo?"

"You!" Dong Zhao's face turned pale, and he was horrified.

He never imagined that the first person to stand up and speak up for the pottery merchant would be Yuan Shao's person.

In fact, this is also very normal.

Although Yuan Shao is unwilling to let the emperor go to Yecheng to destroy the political structure he has carefully arranged in Jizhou, it does not mean that Yuan Shao wants the emperor to stay in Cao Cao's hands and strengthen Cao Cao's strength for nothing.

For Yuan Shao, it was the best choice for Yuan Shao to take out the emperor and put it in a place where everyone can see it like a pottery merchant.

In addition, the pottery merchant also approached Simpi a few days ago and told him about the pros and cons of selling an official this time.

The potter's words can be described as half-truths and half-truths.

He said that the emperor wanted to designate himself as a general because he had made meritorious service in welcoming the emperor to Fan County, and expressed great support for the emperor's establishment of a court building and palace in Fan County, and paid tribute.

If Yuan Shao's tribute can surpass his own, the emperor will naturally appoint Yuan Shao as a general!

Moreover, the pottery merchant also claimed that his abilities were limited and his skills were mediocre, so he really couldn't be the important position of a general, and Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince, was also the leader of the princes and alliances, so he deserved his title as a general!

If Yuan Shao is interested, the pottery merchant is willing to help Yuan Shao ascend to the throne of the general by presiding over the sale of officials.

To a certain extent, the potter's words were a very big concession to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was very happy after receiving the message that Simpi had sent someone back.

Although the Tao family boy is smart, he is only a double-ten youth after all, and when the real scene comes, he has to give in to himself!

So Yuan Shao sent someone to send a message to Xinpi, asking him to support the pottery merchant in this meeting and help him win the position of the general.

Yuan Shao was going crazy about this position.

Not because of anything else, but because his younger brother Yuan Shu's position as the rear general has always been overwhelming him.

Once he wins the position of general, he will reach the highest peak in terms of prestige, political potential, or status in the Yuan family in Runan.

Chapter 354

Dong Zhao looked angrily at Simpi, then at the potter, took a deep breath, and withdrew without saying a word.

In the current situation, it is obvious that all the princes feel that it is better to place the emperor in Fan County than in Cao Cao's hands. At least in this way, the emperor will not become someone's private property, but everyone's. shared.

Lele alone is not as good as all.

Seeing Dong Zhao retreating in embarrassment, Xin Pi stroked his beard with a smug smile on his face.

Being able to refute Cao Cao's emissary face to face, and also get back the position of the general for the lord, such a heavy credit is almost like picking it up for nothing. For Simpi now, it feels really cool.

But the problem is that there is one person in Simpi who has not seen it through, and that is the potter.

No matter how good the words are, it is absolutely impossible for the pottery merchant to let Yuan Shao get the position of the general for nothing.

If so, he would not be a potter.

After all, it was Yuan Shao who plotted against him first.

The potter thought that there was nothing wrong with him taking revenge on Yuan Shao now.
