There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Gao Gan was a little confused: "Why? I am the governor of Bingzhou, the general's favorite general, and Yuan Shao's nephew! You caught me and didn't kill me?"

Tao Shang laughed loudly when he heard this, and said, "I didn't even kill Yuan Shao's son, how many nephews do you have?"

"Son?" Gao Gan showed doubts on his face.

After finishing speaking, the pottery merchant turned to Pei Qian and said, "Please come over, Mr. Yuan."

Pei Qian took orders to go, and brought Yuan Tan here when he was young.

Yuan Tan had a good life these days, although he knew that there was a war outside, but it had nothing to do with him, he had already been captured alive.

Why don't you just keep your ears to the outside world and stick to the bottom of the prison.

Seeing Pei Qian coming to look for him, the first reaction in Yuan Tan's mind was that the pottery merchant was going to invite him to dinner again.

"Brother, didn't you just eat this a while ago? It's only been a few days, why do you eat it again? If this continues, I will force you to death for my brother."

Yuan Tan was talking with a smile, and suddenly saw the high-ranking officials in the hall, and he was stunned and didn't speak.

"Yuan, Yuancai?" Yuan Tan's eyes widened.

Gao Gan also opened his mouth in surprise: "Xian Si?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly realized what the occasion was, and understood what was going on.

It's so embarrassing.

Gao Gan blushed and his neck was thick: "Xiansi, you were also captured by Tao Sheng?"

Yuan Tan's face turned red, and he turned his head and said, "What is capture alive? Zidu and I are old friends, and we are just guests here. Don't misunderstand Yuancai."

Gao Gan grinned.

The heads of the people your father beats him are going to turn into dog heads, and you still come to him as a guest?

Your heart is really not ordinary.

Tao Shang smiled and said, "Mr. Gaofu is the nephew of the great general, brother Xiansi is the eldest son of the great general. In this way, the two are also brothers?"

Both of them laughed stupidly.

"Brothers meet for three cups of wine, brothers share love with the world, brothers talk to each other for five cars, brothers praise everything, on this happy day when brothers meet, how about the three of us have a drink?" The potter said enthusiastically.

Yuan Tan hehe accompanied him with a dry laugh: "Anything is fine, just say what you want to drink!"

"Open it and drink!"

When he was young, the pottery merchant immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet, accompanied by a group of Xuzhou generals, and had a drink with the Yuan brothers.

In all honesty, under such circumstances, drinking the wine in Gao Gan's mouth was no different from horse urine.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the potter said: "Brother Yuancai is a relative of Brother Xiansi. I don't want to hide some things from you. In fact, in terms of the trouble you caused Tao, I will arrest you." Afterwards, I should have killed you to show the three armies. But before the battle, brother Xiansi personally came to me to intercede, saying that he would let Tao spare brother Yuancai's life. Tao and brother Xiansi are old friends, so he finally begged me Once, I couldn't bear to refute it, so I captured you alive because of his affection, Brother Gao still needs to know the key point."

Yuan Tan was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at the potter in surprise, a little puzzled, but he didn't have the nerve to say anything.

Gao Gan's reaction was obviously different.

He looked gratefully at Yuan Tan, sighed, and said, "Xiansi, you and I don't have much friendship on weekdays. I never thought that at this critical moment, you would be willing to put down your face and beg for someone like Gao. Alas, with your nature Said, it's really difficult for you, I have nothing to say about my brother, this friendship, my brother will definitely repay you in the future! I will never bear it."

Yuan Tan took a deep breath, and hurriedly said, "Why should you be like this, brother, I'm ashamed of myself."

Chapter 525 The White-eyed Wolf

After the banquet was over, the pottery merchant sent people to send Gao Gan, Gao Rou, Zhong Changtong and others to rest, while he personally sent Yuan Tan back to the post house.

The two did not speak a word on the road.

Yuan Tan is not a pure idiot either. Although he is very grateful for the pottery's generous treatment, sometimes he is more or less trying to figure out the potter's intentions.

Based on the identity and status of the pottery merchant, Yuan Tan would not think that the pottery merchant would befriend him for no reason. Although he is the son of the famous Yuan family, after all, the pottery merchant is also the overlord of the southeast. is unrealistic.

After the carriage arrived at the posthouse, the pottery merchant smiled and said to Yuan Tan, "Brother, you've arrived, rest early. I'll send you and Brother Gao back to Hebei together some day. There are more wars and chaos everywhere, isn't it?" Good time, you are patient for a while."

Yuan Tan got out of the carriage, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother Tao, I would like to ask you a few words, may I?"

The potter jumped out of the carriage and said with a smile, "If there is anything you want to ask, brother, I will always do it."

Seeing the potter's kind smile, Yuan Tan felt a little embarrassed for some reason.

But if you have to ask, you still have to ask.

He spoke for a long time before saying, "Brother Tao, speaking of it, you and I have known each other for a long time. Although you belong to Yuan's hostile camp, Yuan can't hate you no matter what. Speaking of other things, according to common sense, I should have died by your hands twice."

The pottery merchant waved his hand lightly, and said, "Brother, you don't need to treat yourself like this. Between you and me, what else do you need to be polite?"

Yuan Tan ignored him, but continued to say, "And today you gave me the favor of not killing the high-ranking officials, so that the high-ranking officials will be in love with my brother Tao. Yuan is also the governor of a state, and there are some things that can still be seen." If someone who came out said that you just did it unintentionally, Yuan would naturally not believe what you were trying to do."

The pottery merchant restrained his smile and took a deep look at Yuan Tan.

Well, it is indeed as Yuan Tan said, no matter how you say this kid is also from a wealthy family of the Yuan family, and has also served as a governor of a party, if he is so easily fooled by himself, then he is not a descendant of the Yuan family.

And in the final analysis, no matter how good this kid is with me, it is only a superficial phenomenon. In history, this guy turned against his biological brother for the sake of power and position, without any scruples about brotherhood.

After considering his words, Tao Shang immediately said, "Brother Xiansi, since you said it, I don't want to hide it from you. Let me tell you the truth, I am helping you to lay the foundation for succeeding the position of General tomorrow."

Yuan Tan frowned when he heard this.

He stared fixedly at the pottery merchant, and said word by word, "You want to hold and control Yuan, you can't do it."

The pottery merchant chuckled, and said, "Brother Yuan, the Xiao family is angry. Even though I thought about it, do you think this is possible? Your Yuan family is located in the four prefectures of Hebei. Looking around the world, who can control your Yuan family? It won't work either."

Yuan Tan fell silent upon hearing this.

What the pottery merchant said was indeed reasonable. He really didn't seem to have the ability to control himself.

The pottery merchant continued to say to Yuan Tan, "It's still the same sentence back then. As long as the elder brother can become the master of Hebei, the younger brother will have a relaxed environment in the future. He can attack and retreat and defend. If one day, the younger brother really can't stop the prestige of Hebei." , then Guijiang elder brother, elder brother must not treat my elder brother lightly, don't you think so?"

Facing this kind of temptation, what else can Yuan Tan say?

Naturally, he kept nodding his head, repeatedly saying yes and yes.

However, Yuan Tan also had his own calculations in mind.

Since the pottery merchant wants to help him become a leader, why not do it?

As long as I become the Lord of Hebei, how I treat the potters in the future, or how I should treat Xuzhou, is not based on my own mood.

No matter how loyal the potter is to him, he is nothing more than an enemy of Hebei in terms of standpoint.
