There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Knowing that Yuan Shao had killed Gongsun Zan and repelled Zhang Yan, Tao Shang stopped trying to make small moves, because his rear was not very stable at the moment.

The matter of cooperating with Cao Cao and instigating Zhang Xian's rebellion against Liu Biao has not yet been implemented. It is unwise to rush north to confront Yuan Shao head-on. It is better to wait and see what happens.

On this day, the pottery merchant came to the room where Yuan Tan lived in the county government office.

The pottery dealer didn't treat Yuan Tan lightly, and what he gave Yuan Tan was the best, whether it was food, medicine for wound treatment or living environment.

Yuan Tan's main injury was the arrow shot by Tai Shici back then, and the rest of the injuries were scratches on the outside of the skin he suffered when Yuan Shang kicked him off the carriage, and they were not serious.

He was resting on the bed at the moment, but he didn't feel sleepy. When he heard the door creak, Yuan Tan turned his head to look, but it was the pottery merchant who walked in with his hands behind his back.

Yuan Tan glanced at Tao Shang in a blink of an eye, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

After being captured for many days, he now naturally knows who the person in front of him is.

The potter lowered his head and looked at Yuan Tan for a long while, then suddenly heaved a long sigh, and said: "Poor Yuan's eldest son, who will inherit the foundation of General Yuan in the future, has now fallen into such a field, not to mention falling into the enemy's hands. It's really sad to be murdered by my own brother."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tan was so wronged that he almost cried.

"Little thief surnamed Tao, did you come here to make fun of me?"

The pottery merchant shook his head and said: "Otherwise, I am the eldest son, and the young master is also the eldest son. As the eldest son of a prince, on the surface, he seems to have unlimited scenery and can inherit his father's career, but only you and I know the bitterness in it." , as the eldest son of a prince, the burden on him is really heavy."

Although Yuan Tan still didn't answer, there were already waves in his heart.

"Brother Yuan was plotted against by his own brother, and now he is in my hands. On the surface, it seems that Tao is a winner, but in fact, looking at the current state of the young master, Tao also feels quite empathetic. This world of great controversy is everywhere. Dangerous, maybe one day the young master's current situation will be Tao's situation, what is the sorrow of the death of the rabbit? This is it."

The pottery merchant is quite gifted in acting ability. When he said this to Yuan Tan, his voice was full of emotion, and his tone was touching, which made people feel a little teary.

Yuan Tan turned his head away, seeing the kindness on the potter's face and the sympathy in his eyes, for some reason, he didn't feel any hatred towards him in his heart.

In fact, it was mainly after Yuan Shang plotted against himself, Yuan Tan suffered a major psychological blow, and the humiliation of being plotted by his brother has been lurking in his heart for a long time and cannot be dissipated.

Now that he suddenly received the condolences and empathy from the pottery merchant, compared with Yuan Shang, the pottery merchant, the enemy, has become closer to people.

At least this person is more suitable to be a brother than Yuan Shang.

When he was young, the potter walked out of Yuan Tan's room, while Guo Jia stood outside waiting for him.

As soon as the potter came out, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Are you done talking?"

The pottery merchant rubbed the bridge of his nose lightly, and said, "From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word, he just listened to me babbling."

"Some people can't be in a hurry, especially Yuan Tan is still the eldest son of a noble family. If you want to impress him, at least you have to wait for Yuan Shang to gain power. There is news from the south."

The pottery merchant looked at Guo Jia and said, "Are you talking about plotting against Zhang Xian?"

Guo Jia nodded, and said: "Sun Ce sent someone to send news that Huan Jie has persuaded Zhang Xian, and now Zhang Xian has started secretly contacting various ministries in Jingnan. If Sun Ce and Lu Bu send troops to attack Huang Zu in Jiangxia County, even if Liu Biao is armed with 20 armor, he will not be able to get away. By that time, it will be enough for Liu Biao to deal with the internal affairs of Jingzhou for three years."

The pottery merchant let out a long breath, feeling the pressure drop suddenly in his heart.

Ever since Xu Jing heard that Yuan Shao had sent someone to secretly join forces with Liu Biao, Liu Biao's influence in the southwest had always been a thorn in the potter's heart.

The potter is only [-]% sure of dealing with Yuan Shao, but if Liu Biao takes advantage of the fire to rob him, then he may lose [-]% of his confidence.

"Brother Feng Xiao, next step, what do you think I should do?"

Guo Jia thought carefully for a while, and then said to Tao Shang: "Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are just the children of the Yuan family, so they are easy to deal with, but now Yuan Shao has already defeated Gongsun Zan, and his power has already been established. At that time, Yuan Shao will definitely raise his troops to the south! What we need to do now is to secretly send people to support Sun Ce and Lu Bu with food and grass, while preparing the army for war and hoarding armaments. In addition, the matter of marrying the emperor needs to be done quickly!"

"Marriage with the Son of Heaven." The pottery merchant nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Now we must quickly implement this matter."

Chapter 477

Youzhou, Beiping Prefecture.

After Yuan Shao received the letter sent back by Sui Yuanjin, he couldn't help being furious, and directly overturned the long table case in Beiping Mansion. The bamboo slips were scattered all over the place, and the shocked officials were all terrified.

Yuan Shao's eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Pang Ji fell to the enemy, and Xiansi also fell to the enemy. Only Xianfu came back by chance, without even wearing his pants! Zhang Yun also escaped with injuries! The one whose surname is Tao is indeed How dare you do this? I swear to destroy it!"

Among Yuan Shao's eight masterminds, the relationship between Tian Feng and Pang Ji is the most incompatible.

Pang Ji despises Tian Feng's rigidity and offends him, and Tian Feng despises Pang Ji's flattery.

Hearing that Pang Ji had fallen into the hands of the potter, Tian Feng felt a little relieved in his heart.

Pang is a flattering villain. Why didn't the potter kill him immediately after he caught him?

Tian Feng stood up and remonstrated: "General, although the eldest son and Pang Yuantu were lost in Xuzhou, but in the end it was caused by the eldest son's unauthorized dispatch of troops. It is really self-inflicted disaster, and we others can't take care of it."

Tian Feng is a man with both cunning and ability, but his words are too direct and too rigid.

Yuan Shao was very depressed when he heard this!

He also understands that Yuan Tan defied the military order and did it himself, but Brother Tian, ​​can you stop being so straightforward!

Still telling me to ask for trouble?That man is Yuan's son!Don't you have any points in mind?

If Yuan Mou kills you now because of your bad mouth, are you asking for trouble?

Yuan Shao snorted, but didn't even look at Tian Feng.

But Tian Feng didn't have much vision, and Yuan Shao obviously didn't want to listen to him anymore, but he kept on talking.

"Currently, neither Chang Gongzi nor Pang Yuantu was murdered by the pottery merchant. Obviously the pottery merchant wanted to use these two men to threaten the general at this moment. From the following point of view, our army conquered Gongsun and defeated Zhang Yan several times. Although Hebei was unified, the soldiers The general is exhausted and the army is exhausted. The general may as well take advantage of this matter to negotiate with the pottery merchants, cultivate the people, recuperate, train the soldiers, and make friends with Wuhuan and Xianbei. With the population of Hebei, the grain and fodder of Jizhou, and the horses of Youzhou, Bingzhou The bravery of the soldiers, the salt tax of Qingzhou, and the fierceness of Wuhuan in the northern part of the border, within a few years, they will surely sweep the world!"

Yuan Shao didn't say anything when he heard the words, he just stared at Tian Feng closely, gnashed his teeth and said, "Do you have a son?"

Tian Feng was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Yes."

"Let me ask you, if your son is in the enemy's hands at this moment, can you still talk to me like you are now, and rest and recuperate for several years?"

Tian Feng thought about it seriously, then nodded with certainty: "Yes!"

Yuan Shao's old blood almost didn't spray Tian Feng's face.

This Tian Feng!It’s really not long at all!

Is he made of stone?No emotion at all?

Tian Feng raised his chest proudly, and said: "For the great cause of the lord, even if I let you kill my wife and son, I will not hesitate."

"Okay, okay, okay! You can do it!" Yuan Shao really couldn't hear this, he raised his hand to block Tian Feng's words, and said: "That's you! Yuan can't wait to enter Pengcheng tomorrow and save Xiansi! "

Tian Feng straightened his face, and said: "General, don't be arrogant."

Before he finished speaking, Xu You stood up, tugged Tian Feng's sleeve, and signaled him not to say any more.

Then, Xu You cupped his hands and said to Yuan Shao: "Minggong, although Tian Yuanhao's words are not pleasant, they are somewhat reasonable. According to my humble opinion, if Minggong is in a hurry to send troops to Xuzhou, it would be Yu Changgongzi. Unfavorable, if the pottery merchant jumps over the wall in a hurry and murders the eldest son's life, Minggong is afraid that he will regret it, so he will negotiate with him slowly and make another plan."
