There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

When Sun's troops saw this situation, their morale plummeted just like the Bingzhou Army on the other front. On the contrary, the morale of the Jinling Army increased rapidly.

With the development of the situation on the battlefield, it was almost like withdrawing from the front line with Lu Bu.

"The potter..."

Zhou Yu squinted his eyes, looked at the heads of those people floating on the river, snorted softly, and then told Cheng Pu: "Mr. Demou, I am going to call for gold to withdraw the troops. Please kill the queen yourself and meet the Lord."

"promise!"

……

In the first battle in Duchang County, the Jinling army divided into two groups, repelled the attack of Lu Bu and Sun Ce, and their morale was greatly boosted.

During this period, Zhao Yun also fought fiercely against Lu Bu, and his reputation rose to fame, and he also made a name for himself in the southeast.

Lu Bu's army and Sun Ce's army retreated without success, and after reuniting, they discovered that they had been tricked by the potter.

"Snapped!"

Sun Ce kicked over the table in the commander's tent, and gritted his teeth angrily: "The traitor surnamed Tao is so cunning! He actually threw a human head into the water during the fierce battle, disturbing the morale of our army. If we fight head-to-head! We certainly won't lose He, the traitor, is really hateful."

Lu Bu's face was also frighteningly black.

The Jinling army was victorious, and under Zhou Yu's command and dispatch, Sun Ce's army suffered little loss, and he suffered the worst loss in this battle.

After the Jinling army threw out the heads, the morale of the Bingzhou army plummeted, and there was even panic for a while. In the end, even Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other veteran generals lost their fighting spirit, and they were taken advantage of by Xu Chu, Xu Huang and others. , Take advantage of the momentum to conceal the kill and repel.

Zhang Liao was stabbed in the back by Xu Chu and was seriously injured.

Although Sun Ce's side suffered less losses, they were defeated in the end.

Seeing that Lu Bu and Sun Ce were angry, Zhou Yu smiled unhurriedly and said, "Brother Bofu, don't be so anxious. The pottery used such tricks to defeat us this time. On the surface, he won, but in fact he himself won. A big loser."

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously, and wondered, "What does Gong Jin mean by that?"

Zhou Yu smiled triumphantly, and said: "Siege of the city and land is the first thing in the hearts of the people. When potters first came to Yuzhang County, they did not practice virtue or win the hearts of the people. Instead, they slaughtered wantonly. How can the people of Yuzhang County respond to such evil deeds?" How can it be supported? Without the support of the people, how can someone surnamed Tao stay here for a long time? He will return to Jinling sooner or later.”

When Sun Ce heard the words, he suddenly realized: "That's right! Where did the pottery merchants get so many heads? They must have killed so many innocent people! This kid, who claims to be a gentleman every day, has done such evil things, he is even worse than that old thief Dong Zhuo. And his minions are even more hateful!"

When Lu Bu heard this, his face was slightly embarrassed.

Little calf, who the hell are you talking about?

Seeing that Lu Bu's expression was not very good, Sun Ce suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly explained: "Don't doubt, Marquis Wen, I didn't mean to scold your father."

Lu Bu: "..."

Chapter 393 I'm Not Here

"Unexpectedly, a human head made of wood can have such a miraculous effect!"

In Duchang County, the generals of the Jinling Army are holding a celebration banquet. Everyone toasts frequently, discussing the battle of the previous night while celebrating.

Xu Huang raised the wine baron to the potter, and said with a cheerful smile: "The Taifu's plan is really unpredictable. After arriving in Duchang County, he first sent troops to kill the bandits nearby to win the hearts of the people, and then used The heads of those bandits are paired with wood sprinkled with red lacquer, they are both true and false, and they really messed up the morale of Lu Bu and Sun Ce!"

Xu Rong also said with emotion: "In today's world, the Jinling Army is probably the only one who can repel these two strong soldiers with his own strength and a bunch of wooden heads?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, deeply admired the potter's unconstrained strategy.

At that time, the sky was dark and there was a chaotic battle. Who would have the leisure to carefully distinguish those floating things in the waves, whether they were human heads or logs.

The effect is indeed noticeable.

The pottery merchant smiled and waved his hands, saying: "If you want to respect, don't respect me. Please respect me. This is the way he came up with."

When everyone heard the words, they looked at Zhuge Liang one after another, with ripples in their hearts.

This young man with a weak crown who looks like a gentleman, actually has such means and skills?It's really amazing!

No wonder the Taifu would rather have the cheek to punish Zhuge Jin's single tax than keep Zhuge Liang behind!

Now it seems that Tao Taifu really has the foresight.

Ever since, everyone toasted Zhuge Liang one after another.

Zhuge Liang was very polite, he got up hurriedly, and returned the salute to everyone present one by one, without any intention of embarrassment, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, which made people feel very heartbroken.

Sima Yi looked at Zhuge Liang enviously, and said to Tao Shang, "Teacher, I have also made meritorious service."

The potter gave him a thumbs up: "Yes, your big horn is very good! It's second only to being a teacher."

During the banquet, the pottery merchant gave instructions to the generals for the next step.

"After this battle, Lu Bu and Sun Ce will definitely not come back in a short time, and after Yuan Shu knows the news of their failure, he will definitely start to prepare for a protracted war...According to Yuan Shu's character, in order to hoard food and grass. Expropriation and extortion in Nanchang is certain, but we must think about taking advantage of this opportunity, taking Changdu County as the center, and taking over the surrounding counties to appease the people."

When all the generals heard the words, they all stood up and responded.

Sima Yi smiled and said, "You can't tell. Sun Ce and Lu Bu are still suspecting that the teacher massacred civilians in Yuzhang County and lost popular support. Little did they know that they were the ones who lost public support!"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

While he was talking, he suddenly saw Pei Qian walk into the main hall, cupped his hands to the potter, and said, "Teacher, Yan Yu is sent back from Yan Baihu's side."

The potter raised his eyebrows and hurriedly ordered Pei Qian to bring Yan Yu in.

Yan Yu is Yan Baihu's younger brother. This time, he, Tao Ying, Lu Dai and others went secretly southward with him, preparing to persuade the Baiyue tribe to respond to the pottery merchants in Lingnan.

After meeting the potter, Yan Yu immediately reported the current communication with Baiyue to the potter.

"How? Is things going well?" The pottery merchant attaches great importance to this matter. After all, being able to persuade the Baiyue tribe to lean towards him is very important for him to be able to sit in Jiangdong safely in the future.

Yan Yu solemnly reported to the potter: "Back to Taifu, the communication with the Baiyue tribes is still in progress, but now there is a clue, that is, the leader of the Hanyue tribe who is a branch of the Yue tribe, I am willing to submit to the Taifu and assist the Taifu in persuading the Wu family."

Hanyue is a large tribe among the tribes in Yangzhou, with a population of hundreds of thousands. The potters were surprised to be able to get their support so quickly.

"Could it be your brother's fault for this matter?"

Yan Yu grinned in embarrassment, and said: "Although elder brother is doing his best for the Taifu, but the means are ordinary and have not achieved the desired effect."

The potter heaved a long sigh.

I thought that Yan Baihu had been the king of the mountain for many years, and he could communicate with Baiyue easily, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, he would be a waste snack, which would not be of much use.

"Then the credit for persuading Hanyue? Was it done by Lu Dai?"

Yan Yu still shook his head.
