There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

But obviously, the potter's current strength is not enough.

After all, under Liu Bei's command is the White Horse Yi Cong brought out from Gongsun Zan, as well as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two great heroes, and Zhao Yun and others are still fighting against the Wuhuan cavalry. It is unrealistic for the Tao merchant to kill Liu Bei now.

There is no other way, but at the moment, he can only scare him to leave for the time being, and first promise to bring his little nephew and Mason back.

……

It was almost dawn, after a fierce battle last night, Zhao Yun and others finally defeated the Wuhuan cavalry under Su Puyan, and Su Puyan retreated northward, leaving behind the ruins of Fan County.

The potter didn't know whether Liu Bei rescued Liu Xie's body or not, but right now he can't deal with this matter for the time being.

He sent people to protect them closely, and sent Tao Guiren and Liu Xi back to Pengcheng.

The Tao merchants and others led their troops to the battlefield in the Central Plains, and they would join Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao.

As for Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and the others, they protected Liu Qiong and other members of the royal family and rushed to Jingzhou. Liu Bei was currently homeless, so he also left with him.

……

In the land of the Central Plains, Cao Cao and the pottery merchant finally join forces.

On the school field, the generals and counselors of both sides confronted each other like a wall, and there was a strange atmosphere on the scene.

Especially Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the students from Yingchuan and Guo Jia, all stared at each other closely, as if they could kill each other with their eyes.

Cao Cao and the pottery merchant also laughed on the surface but did not laugh.

Regarding the matter of the Son of Heaven, after Fu Wan and Dong Cheng settled down, Cao Cao would know about it sooner or later, and the pottery merchant didn't hide his secrets, so he directly gave him a brief account of the matter.

He also wanted to see Cao Cao's reaction.

Sure enough, after hearing the news of the emperor's death, Cao Cao, including his counselors, were shocked.

It was indeed a thunderbolt from the blue sky, especially Xun Yu and Xun You, their entire faces were pale, and they almost fainted.

Cao Cao tried his best to calm himself down, and then said: "Teacher, where are the eldest son Liu Xi and the second son Liu Qiong?"

Tao Shang decided: "The eldest son Liu Xi and the birth mother Tao Guifei have already been sent back to Pengcheng by my people, and the second son Liu Qiong, Empress Fu, Concubine Dong and others are waiting to go after being laid down by Dong Chenghe. Maybe Liu Bei Follow them too, if my predictions are correct, they will most likely go to Jingzhou or Yizhou."

Cao Cao nodded firmly and said: "I know that now, for them, there is only this...The one who will inherit the position of the Son of Heaven, which one of the two sons should be?"

The pottery merchant said indifferently: "Your Majesty has left an imperial edict ordering the eldest son Xi to inherit the Datong."

Cao Cao's eyes were full of light, and he said, "Is there a clear text?"

"Your Majesty passed away in a hurry, why did you come with an edict? It was a verbal edict."

As soon as Cao Cao heard what the potter said, he knew he was lying.

Bullshit oral instructions.

However, Cao Cao did not refute the pottery merchant. The current situation has changed dramatically, so it is meaningless for him to argue with the pottery merchant. If the emperor is in his hands, he is probably more bragging than the pottery merchant, so everything is understandable .

What he has to do now is another thing, to deal with Yuan Shao.

"Wuhuanqiao King Su Puyan suddenly led his troops to attack Fandu, causing His Majesty to die. According to the Taifu, what is the reason for this matter?"

Seeing Cao Cao asking him, the pottery merchant naturally guessed Cao Cao's thoughts in an instant, and said lightly, "The Wuhuan tribe is located in the frontier of Youzhou. How could no one notice it when they crossed the border and attacked Fandu? Someone must have let them come here on purpose." Yes, and the only one who can let him come over is naturally the one from the north."

After all, he raised his finger and pointed to the direction where Yuan Jun's Dazhai was standing.

Cao Cao nodded slowly, and said: "Although there is no real evidence at the moment, the facts are the same, but he cannot be denied. The people Yuan Shao relied on are the nobles in the world! Cao Mouyi, since His Majesty appointed the eldest son Xi to succeed him before he died. Datong, please trouble the Grand Tutor to issue an edict in the name of Prince Xi, denouncing Yuan Shao for being a disobedient official! The world’s gentry leave Yuan, and Yuan Shao has no rear support. If we can defeat him on the frontal battlefield, then the event will be settled.”

The potter said in agreement: "What Cao Sikong said is true, but His Majesty is too young to express his meaning in person. In Sikong's opinion, who should write and embellish this matter for His Majesty."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Why does Taifu Tao have to be so modest? Under Taifu's command is a great writer, Ni Heng, who is good at this, so why do you need to ask more questions?"

The pottery merchant laughed, nodded in praise and said, "Cao Sikong must have seen it thoroughly."

……

After the potter and Cao Cao finished their discussions, they each returned to their respective tents.

After Cao Cao returned to his command tent, only Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and other close conspirators stayed behind.

Uncle and nephew Xun's expression was not very good either.

After several people sat down, Xun Yu hurriedly bowed his hands and said to Cao Cao: "Sikong, the emperor Longyu has returned to heaven, such a big event, we must not let it go lightly, the Wuhuan cavalry must be Yuan Shao behind the scenes. Liao actually has the heart to murder the emperor, so he should exterminate the nine clans! This battle is no longer a battle of Duke Ming's ability to repel Cao Cao's troops, but a major event related to the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty."

Cao Cao was very unhappy after hearing Xun Yu's words. What he cares about now is his own affairs.

However, the uncles and nephews of the Xun family have always held a kind of respect and loyalty to the Han family and the emperor that is beyond the ordinary gentry, and Cao Cao knows this.

But from the perspective of loyalty and ethics, there is really nothing wrong with the Xun family's uncles and nephews.

Cao Cao was silent for a while, and instead of paying attention to Xun Yu's words, he turned his head to look at Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai.

"Now the pottery merchant has brought Liu Xi, the son of the emperor's orphan, back to Xuzhou. After this battle, if we can really repel Yuan Shao, he will definitely become a supporter of the emperor the next day! At that time, the court of the Han Dynasty will be in Xuzhou... "

Speaking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help showing an unconcealable anger on his face.

You know, the old site of the imperial court was directly installed in his Xuchang City.

The pottery merchant took away Liu Xie and placed the emperor in Fan County. Cao Cao was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. The next generation of emperors.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao wished he could kill the potter's family.

Cao Cao felt more at ease with the imperial court in Yecheng than in Pengcheng.

This little calf is so annoying.

Chapter 539

What Cao Cao said made Xun Yu very surprised and angry.

At that moment, Xun Yu felt as if he had misread Cao Cao.

The emperor is dead, and the Han Dynasty is already in decline. At this moment of crisis, Cao Cao's first concern is not the safety of the Han Dynasty, but only thinking about where the court should be placed.

Isn't this irrelevant?

Cheng Yu thought for a while, and then said to Cao Cao: "The imperial court is located in Pengcheng, and the emperor is young. If this situation really happens, the potters will embrace the emperor and command the world in the future. It will be even more difficult to stop. But it's more difficult...however, we still need him to fight against Yuan Shao, but we can't take action against him."

Cao Cao hit the table heavily with his fist, and said angrily: "You little pottery thief, you are so hateful, Cao wants to kill him alive!"

Xi Zhicai stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Ming Gong, this matter may not be as bad as you think in the future."

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai, and said, "What's your opinion?"
