There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Jia Hua strode over, grabbed the other end of the rope, and raised his chin at the boy.

Almost in an instant, both of them began to exert strength in their hands.

The rope was tightly stretched by the two people, and beads of sweat flowed from their foreheads, but they gritted their teeth tightly, neither of them willing to relax a step.

Although the two seem to be evenly matched at the moment, Jia Hua knows that he has actually lost.

Regardless of other things, if this kid is really only 11 years old as he said, then at most he is just a young man, his body is not yet fully developed, and he is in his prime, but he is equal to a boy who has not yet grown his hair , How is this different from losing strength?

But the actual problem is that Jia Hua really can't shake this young man at all.

The two tried their best to stand in a stalemate for a long time, but the rope couldn't withstand the huge force of the two, and was finally pulled from the middle.

The two fought to a tie in terms of strength.

The pottery merchant watched quietly as the boy dropped the rope and walked in front of him.

"How? The four of them are not generals, are they?" The young man's tone now somewhat shows that a young man should have an innocent appearance.

The pottery merchant smiled lightly, and said, "No, the four of them are still generals, but you are too... what's your name?"

The young man hesitated for a moment, then straightened his chest and said in a round voice, "Ding Feng!"

"Ding Feng... oh, so it's like this... Okay, very good, Ding Feng, from today onwards, you will move out of the Shanman camp, and you won't have to be a grain transporter anymore."

Ding Feng was taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously said: "If I'm not in the Shanman camp, then where should I go?"

The Tao merchant stopped looking at him, turned around and walked towards his tent, saying, "From today until the end of the war between me and Yuan Shao, you will be by my side, as my personal bodyguard, it's as simple as that."

There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 5 and Three Keep the Five Grounds!

On the third day after bringing Ding Feng to his side, the pottery merchant got the news that the school affairs came back from the investigation.

Yuan Shao's army is overwhelming, and has launched a fierce attack on various ports of the Yellow River!

Yuan Shao had too many soldiers and horses. From Le'an in the east to Hanoi in the west, Yuan's army attacked from north to south at almost every port, but some places had strong attacks and some places had weak attacks.

This kind of large-scale net-casting attack is unprecedented.

The Tao merchant army was in charge of all the ports and strategic points along the east of the Yellow River guarded by the governor, and almost all of them sent emergency messages to the potter himself overnight.

Looking at the emergency military information sent by the school affairs office on the table, it was almost piled up into a hill, and the potter's head began to hurt.

Headwind, maybe that's how it came about.

He led the Shanman battalion to sit in the center, in order to be able to rush to the unfavorable places in the war at critical moments.

But now he found that almost twenty large and small battlefields all needed his help with one voice.

This point is more troublesome. Are these generals afraid of being bullied by him on weekdays, and they take the opportunity to retaliate... Let's find fault together?

In desperation, the potter called his five advisers.

Cao Cao has Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu's intelligent five-member team.

The potters didn't give in too much, and the combination of Guo Jia, Chen Deng, Lu Su, Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi was enough to resist... Of course, the age of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi is indeed too young at the moment, and they are still not ready.

After listening to the potter's narration, the five of them began to meditate, considering how to deal with the current predicament.

In the end, Lu Su suddenly stood up, cupped his hands at the potter, and said, "Teacher, the current situation seems chaotic, but it's actually hard to think about."

As far as the overall situation is concerned, Lu Su's vision is second to none among these five people, and even Guo Jia may not be as strong as him.

"What do you mean by respect, please explain in detail."

Lu Su calmly walked to Pitu in the tent, and said to the potter: "Our army currently needs to guard more than 20 large ports, and they were suddenly attacked by Yuan Shao. hinder."

Tao Shang wondered, "Why?"

Lu Su sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Yuan Shao has a lot of troops, and all these ports were attacked all at once, and there will inevitably be mistakes in haste. It is also inevitable, but as long as we survive this period of time, it should be fine."

After all, Lu Su tapped the strategic points on the Pitu one by one, and said: "Although we need to guard as many as twenty key points, even if some of them are captured, the Northern Army will not be able to survive after crossing the river." If the terrain of the attack is not good, it is easy to enter the army rashly, and it is easy to go deep alone, which is a big taboo for military strategists. Therefore, some places seem to be dangerous, but in fact it does not matter whether they are lost or not, unless our side collapses completely, but this is very unlikely. .”

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang, who was swinging his white feather fan, woke up suddenly, and said, "That makes sense!"

The current Zhuge Liang is still too young, his vision has not yet opened up, and he is not as strong as Lu Su's overall view, but after all, he is an outstanding figure in history who proposed the Longzhong Opinion. In his subconscious, he still has a strong sense of the overall view that has not yet been developed. Yes, with a little guidance, you can think clearly.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang was the first to react.

Zhuge Liang stood up and said, "According to what Brother Zijing said, our immediate concern is that our army only needs to hold on to a few ports that are suitable for advancing troops. The ports are continuous and easy to be connected by the other army. The rest of the ports are If it is lost, Yuan Shao will definitely not dare to enter the army without rushing to help, will he?"

Lu Su said with emotion: "Kong Ming knows me well."

Zhuge Liang swayed his feather fan, walked up to Pitu, and kept staring at Pitu back and forth.

"Zhencheng, Licheng, Shiquan, Yi'an, Gaomi! As long as we can protect these five places, we can protect the rest of the roads."

Lu Su nodded emotionally, admiring Zhuge Liang's ability to infer other cases from one instance.

This little brother is really a genius, as long as he mentions a little bit, he can think so much.

In a few years, I'm afraid it will be far above me.

The pottery merchant also praised Zhuge Liang a few words with satisfaction, and then took out the battle reports of the five key places.

Among the five places, the situation in Licheng is the most urgent right now.

The generals sent by the pottery merchants to Licheng were Jiang Qin and Ling Cao, and the one in charge of attacking here was Yuan Shao's general Jiang Qi and his deputy generals. Soldiers and horses had already crossed the shore, Licheng was short, Ling Cao sent a letter asking for help, saying that Licheng's defense was in jeopardy.

The potter immediately decided to lead the Shanman battalion to rush to Licheng to help.

After arriving in Licheng, the pottery merchant realized that he was indeed right to come to Licheng first.

There are not only many strong soldiers in Hebei.

Moreover, the soldiers in the Northland were sturdy, tall, with many horses, and fought bravely. The Xuzhou soldiers and Jinling Army, which had always been regarded as the world's strongest armies, could not take advantage of them at all.

Jiang Qin's first battle in Licheng ended in a disastrous defeat. He was beaten to death by Jiang Qi. Three soldiers of the Jinling Army were killed, and nearly one-third of Jiang Qin's generals were also lost. Jiang Qin himself was also injured. He was seriously injured, and it was only by Ling Cao who led the remnants of the defeated general to defend the enemy in Lichengbu that he could continue to support him.

Afterwards, Jiang Qi's soldiers came over to fight twice again. Ling Cao fought bravely and fought with the mentality of risking his life. If the general is like this, the morale of ordinary soldiers will naturally increase greatly. Live in the city without losing the land.

However, the Jinling Army also suffered relatively large losses. Most of the remaining soldiers were injured, and their morale was relatively low. In particular, Jiang Qin was seriously injured and could not participate in the battle, which seriously affected the morale of the army.

It was at this moment of crisis that the potters led the Shanman battalion to arrive.

The big flag of the pottery merchant is still in Kaiyang City of Langya Kingdom, and Mi Fang used the name of the pottery merchant to scare the high officials, so the pottery merchant's actions are extremely secretive, even Jiang Qin and Ling Cao don't know that he will come in person .
