There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the potter to part with Cao Cao.

As the host, Cao Cao arranged a grand farewell banquet in his big tent to send off the Xuzhou allies on the common front.

But who knows if this is another conspiracy?No one can say for sure about this kind of thing.

Ever since, on the day of the banquet, the pottery merchant brought in heavily armed generals and elite soldiers.

Everyone is not a good thing, so don't trust anyone too much, you can eat, but the configuration must be complete.

The same is true for Cao Cao, leading a group of generals in armor to meet the potters in person.

Seeing the formation led by the potters, Cao Cao couldn't help being taken aback.

"Brother Zidu, this is really a big battle. Those who didn't know thought you were here to attack the stronghold. How do you look like you're here to drink?"

The pottery merchant smiled and said: "Brother Meng De is not bad, he is so fully armed when he invites people to dinner, and the three armies are wearing armor. Those who don't know think that you are going to treat me like a meal."

Chapter 576 Taking advantage of the road

Although Cao Cao and the potter are wary of each other, they also understand each other.

This is the troubled times, this is the human heart, and no one can stay out of it.

The two laughed and walked hand in hand into the open space arranged in front of Cao Ying. The warriors behind were divided into two rows and entered one by one.

On the open space at the gate of the camp, many bonfires have been set up, and the blazing fire dances in the air, and the fat sheep being smoked on the bonfires are sizzling outwards, which makes people move their index fingers and move their hands. The fine wine in the big altar was moved to the center of the venue by soldiers of Cao Jun. After the altar was opened, the aroma of the wine overflowed, and everyone couldn't help swallowing when they smelled it.

Not only mutton, but also many food tripods were brought up by Cao Bing's attendants, which contained all kinds of blistered venison and other game.

Some of the Dow generals sat down and some stood aside. Everyone had their own division of labor. Obviously, none of them was fooled by the superficial phenomenon of singing and dancing. Now everyone no longer trusts everyone in the other party.

The same is true for the generals of Cao Jun. They stared at the generals of Tao Jun headed by Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Xu Chu and others as if they were staring at a group of wild beasts.

Cao Cao smiled and ordered people to pick up the wine baron for everyone, and then asked everyone to raise their wine cups to drink.

"This time we have won a great victory over Yuan Shao and retreated hundreds of thousands of Yuan Shao's troops. Looking at the past and the present, how can we be honored to win such a great victory? This remarkable feat is due to the bravery of the soldiers of the two armies. Today is the occasion of this grand feast. We are present here Let's drink this wine together first, so as to make a strong momentum..."

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, he saw the wine jue in the potter's hand suddenly "slap" and fell to the ground heavily.

Everyone was listening to Cao Cao's words seriously, so they kept silent. The scene was very quiet. The potter's man fell down. Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely sharp, which immediately aroused the tension of everyone present.

Many people even put their hands on the hilts of their swords.

But seeing the potter first looked around, he scanned the surrounding area carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he applauded vigorously, and said to Cao Cao with a smile: "Brother Meng De said that is really good, it is really true. Three points to the wood, one sentence, the sincerity of the words actually moved the wine bar in Tao's hand! Brother, I am really useless, I always get nervous when it comes to critical moments..."

After all, he picked up the wine jue from the ground with a smile, and ordered people to fill up the wine jue again.

Others didn't take this detail seriously, but Cao Cao was so annoyed by the potter's teeth.

Because he really knows potters too well.

Are you nervous?You are so nervous!No one here is smarter than you.

This kid didn't accidentally drop the wine baron, he was clearly demonstrating "throwing a cup for a sign" to see if he has arranged a knife and axe in the camp!

All your eyes and eyes are fucking making you grow up!

He really regarded Cao Mou as a Hongmen banquet, and he treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!

Still throw a cup?You might as well turn the table over and give it a try.

However, Cao Cao was unhappy in his heart, but he subconsciously considered whether to arrange for swordsmen.

But after thinking about it carefully, forget it.

A potter must be on his guard against himself, and he will never bring fewer people to the banquet, and it turns out that this is the case.

At that time, not only will Cao Cao not be able to trap him, but the two of them will tear their faces apart and make the world laugh at them.

In the second case, although Yuan Shao was defeated, he hadn't been away for too long after all, so we had to be on guard against him turning his carbine and making a comeback.

The third is that after this battle, our own side is exhausted, and the Central Plains also needs to be stable. Now is really not a good time to fight pottery.At least get through this stage.

Therefore, Cao Cao buried this clumsy idea of ​​​​ambushing swordsmen deeply in his heart, and did not implement it.

Although he also had evil thoughts in his heart, Cao Cao felt uncomfortable seeing the pottery guarding him like a dog.

I'm not really a dog, why are you so guarded against me?

Cao Cao is a bit unreasonable and quite capricious.

Because of the potter's actions, the first wine was tasteless, and the rest of the banquet process basically became a formality. The two parties guarded against each other like thieves. Everyone tacitly agreed, The politeness of the toast is almost disgusting.

Halfway through the banquet, Guo Jia winked at the potter.

The pottery merchant understood, and immediately said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, do you still remember the promise you made to me?"

As soon as the word "promise" was said, Cao Cao broke out in a cold sweat.

"Cao has made a lot of promises in his life, but not everyone who has lived through them can remember... Which one did Brother Tao talk about?"

Seeing Cao Cao's expression, the potter couldn't help being happy.

This expression was all too familiar to him.

This is the expression that he has lied a lot on weekdays, and he feels guilty when he hears others ask him to promise.

The potter said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, don't be afraid. It was just a small incident not long ago. At that time, Tao and Mr. Ling came back from Xuchang. I asked Brother Meng De for instructions. Go to Yingchuan Yangzhaizhidao and then return to Xuzhou, I wonder if brother Mengde agrees?"

"Ah!" Cao Cao slapped his forehead suddenly, and suddenly realized: "So that's what happened! Cao remembers."

"Brother Meng De, my younger brother intends to set off soon and return to Xuzhou, but before returning to Xuzhou, I want to go to Yangzhai by way. Presumably, brother Meng De will keep his promise? This is what we said OK."

Cao Cao was not in a hurry to speak, but squinted at Xi Zhicai beside him.

Xi Zhicai stroked the beard on his chin, thought for a while, and then nodded to Cao Cao.

Although Xi Zhicai's movements were very slight, they still fell into Guo Jia's eyes exactly.

Guo Jia remained silent, but felt secretly refreshed.

Loyalty to the old dog, let's see if Guo will kill you this time.

Cao Cao knew that Xi Zhi was thinking about things, and he didn't think of any flaws, so he wanted to nod himself and let him carry out the previous plan of the two.

Cao Cao's confidence is even stronger.

He nodded to the pottery merchant, and said proudly: "Cao has a lot of promises, how can he act like a rogue with his brother? Brother Tao helped me defend Xuchang before, and he treated me very kindly. Cao kept his word. Since you are going, then Cao will never stop you."
