There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shao looked up at the sky, but saw small ice cubes began to fall from the sky bit by bit.

From just a little bit at the beginning, the number gradually increased and increased, and when it was small, it was mixed with rain, falling down with a splash, and smashed into the crowd.

Although the hailstone couldn't kill anyone, its gravitational potential energy was enormous, and when it was young, it caused unspeakable misery to the two armies on the battlefield.

Soldiers let alone fighting, it is not enough to cover the top of the head with two hands.

Ju Shou hastily summoned someone to protect Yuan Shao's head, and while protecting him, he said: "General, the hailstones are so big that this battle cannot be fought at all. Right now, we should withdraw troops temporarily and look for opportunities before we can deal with potters and warlords." It will not be too late for Cao Cao to attack."

Yuan Shao looked up at the sky, looked at the sparse hailstones in the sky, the older and bigger the hailstones, he sighed and said, "Doesn't God want me to destroy these two thieves?"

Chapter 544 The Pottery Produces Food

On the battlefield, the hail was caught in the rain, it was cold and hard, and it kept beating on the heads of the generals and soldiers in the field. It was cold and hard, and it hurt everyone's whole body.

Under such circumstances, let alone fighting back and forth with weapons, the soldiers on both sides wished they could grow an extra arm to protect their heads from being hit by the hail.

But even so, it may not be able to protect his head well.

Moreover, the trend of rain and hail is obviously getting bigger and bigger. Judging from the situation, there is almost a tendency to pour down.

In this helpless situation, the two sides can only withdraw their troops for the time being, and each retreats to the rear to avoid natural disasters, so as to allow for later effects.

Although the matter is such a matter, among the generals who are fighting, there are still some people who don't want to stop fighting.

Among them, ugliness is of course the most.

Ugly didn't cover his head with his hands like others, but let the bean-sized hailstones land on his head with a thunderclap.

Chou Shicai fought so fiercely with Tai Shici that he didn't even know where his helmet fell. Right now, his entire head was exposed outside without any protective measures. Knocked his head full of big bumps, just like Sakyamuni.

Tai Shici looked at Chou with a big head on his head, but still looked at him fiercely, goosebumps arose in his heart.

This surname is too domineering, he is not afraid of pain at all.

Thanks to the hailstorm, if it was a brick, his face would be covered in blood, let's see if he still has the time to stare at himself.

Tai Shici fiddled with the hailstones in the sky with the halberd in his hand, while retreating slowly, he carefully stared at Chou to prevent him from attacking suddenly.

Chou glared at Tai Shici angrily, and when he was young, he heard him roar: "Tai Shici, you wait! I will avenge my brother's revenge! Sooner or later, we will fight it out!"

A huge hailstorm ended the first fierce battle between the two sides, but the Guandu battle did not end. After the hailstorm stopped, Yuan Shao sent his generals back and forth to bomb the Guandu village one after another, but the scale was far less than that of the first That's it for the first time.

In just seven days, more than [-] small-intensity battles were fought around the Guandu Tuzhai.

Although the two sides have their own victories, Cao Cao and the pottery merchants, who are the generals, can understand that Yuan Shao has too many soldiers and horses, and even though they are within the boundaries of the Central Plains, the advantage is still gradually turning to Yuan Shao. edge closer.

In order to avoid turmoil in the army, Cao Cao can only discuss with pottery merchants.

"Yuan Shao is too powerful. Against so many generals of his, it is not easy to maintain the fighting spirit and morale of the three armies, but our affairs are too messy right now, and Cao is far less powerful than Yuan Shao in terms of food and grass. , lingering for a long time, I'm afraid it is"

The pottery merchant smiled lightly, and said: "Brother Meng De, if you were to face Yuan Shao's monstrous army alone, food and grass for this battle might be a huge problem for you, but right now you are joining forces with me Confronting Yuan Shao, Jinling City will take care of it for you in terms of food and grass, don't worry, I will take care of you."

Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at the potter in disbelief.

Will Tao provide me with food and grass?This kid must have been shot in the head by Liu Ya, right?

After being silent for a while, Fang heard Cao Cao ask suspiciously, "Is the grain and grass given to me?"

The potter nodded vigorously: "For you."

"For free? For free?"

"Theoretically, no money is required, but if brother Meng De is really sorry, you can give me some in a proper way."

"It has to be because of something!" Cao Cao directly expressed the doubts in his chest: "Giving things to others for nothing is not your style. I am afraid that Cao will take care of me."

The pottery merchant chuckled and said, "Because I am a gentleman."

"Even Yuan Shao can't fool you with your words now, and you are here to play this cheap trick with Cao? Hurry up and tell the truth, or I will be in a hurry with you!" Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, no matter what the pottery said, he just didn't believe it.

The potter was not happy.

Damn!I gave you something for nothing, look at you, trembling, looking forward and backward!

This son brought you food and grass, and also brought out the problem, didn't he?

"Brother Meng De, if you really can't trust Tao, you don't have to get this food and grass. It's like spending money to beg you for my favor. I have millions of people in the southeast, and there are many people who want to eat, no It must be given to you for consumption." The potter's face sank, and he directly overturned the preface.

Cao Cao knew that the pottery merchant had been a master of turning his face and denying others since seven years ago. On the surface he was a refined gentleman, but in fact turning his face and denying others is a unique skill.

He immediately waved his hand and said, "Cao Mou didn't mean that, Brother Tao, please don't take offense! Brother Cao is so supportive, Cao Mou naturally wants to accept this, and we still need food and grass."

The potter rolled his eyes.

You bitch, it's easy to discuss and quit, you have to hurt you to feel comfortable.

The potter raised his brows and said, "Brother Meng De, are you sure you want my Xuzhou army's food and grass? You must not force it. I don't necessarily have to let you have it."

"Cao is by no means forced, it's all from the heart! I sincerely want to accept the favor of my brother!"

Only then did the pottery merchant nod his head in satisfaction, and said, "If that's the case, that's the best. With the rich food and grass in Jinling, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other places as our support, we will fight Yuan Shao without any worries. Occupy the four prefectures of Hebei, but if he wants to be richer than me, I will drag him back and forth twice to death."

After hearing what the pottery said, Cao Cao felt very uncomfortable.

Could this be the legendary show off?

He can be so stinky at such a young age, will he be crazier than Yuan Shao when he grows up in the future?

The worst thing is you rich people.

The pottery merchant looked at Cao Cao's unhappy face, and suddenly said, "I can deliver food to Brother Meng De, but I need one condition."

really!

I knew it!

Cao Cao secretly scolded the pottery merchant for being shameless, how could there be anyone in the world who would give someone something out of nothing?Especially this little bastard!

"What conditions does Brother Tao have? Let's just say it!"

The pottery merchant smiled, and said, "It's a condition, but it's actually just a requirement! Although Jinling is the richest in the world, the granary is the lifeblood of my Jinling city after all, so we have to mobilize food and fodder around the army, or get grain The escort needs to be done by the soldiers of our army. It is really inconvenient to reveal the family background and the specific situation in the south of the Yangtze River to Brother Cao. Someone will send it."

Speaking of this, the Tao merchant sighed, and said: "After all, we are only cooperating temporarily to deal with Yuan Shao. I don't want to tell brother Meng De the details of my lifeline. I think you can understand this little thing, right?"

Cao Cao pondered for a while, and felt that the potter's words were reasonable.

And if he is responsible for rhyming food and grass, then the family has nothing to do, and there is no need to allocate part of the manpower to do it.
