There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Facing a puppet government group that is opposed to one's own side, if you don't move a knife or a gun, just shouting at each other from the air, it will be a bit inferior.

Looking back, this matter fell into the eyes of the people and the gentry all over the world, and it didn't look very good.

On the one hand, the potters made arrangements for the layout of the north and the security of the south. In addition, they also transferred grain, grass and warships from Jinling City and other places for the westward conquest.

Jiangdong and Jingzhou border on almost all sides. The counties connecting the two borders are Jiangxia County in the north and Changsha County in the south.

Today, most of Changsha County is controlled by Zhang Xian, a rebel general from Jingzhou, and Zhang Xian belonged to the rebel who was incited to rebel by the pottery merchants, so the place where Jingzhou soldiers and Jinling troops confronted must not be in Changsha County.

In this way, the border between Jiangxia County and the northern part of Yuzhang County will become the main battlefield of this battle.

The pottery merchants also paid a lot of attention to Liu Biao's information.

It is said that Xichuan Liu Zhang sent general Zhang Ren to lead his troops out of Xichuankou, leading [-] elite troops to fight with Liu Biao.

But potters are not particularly worried about the Sichuan Army.

Because the handover place between Jiangxia County and Yuzhang County is almost a half-water situation, and Huang Zu has also accumulated a lot of battlefields in Jiangxia in recent years, so this time, the water battle is whether the two sides can win key.

In the past few years, the pottery merchant had fought against Yuan Shu many times, and he had accumulated a lot of wealth in warships and equipment for water battles. But as far as he knew, there was no shortage on Liu Biao's side, so this battle was evenly matched.

After the food, grass, warships and ordnance were ready, the potter didn't stay any longer. He planned to make a move first and drive his troops to the boundary of Jiangxia County.

Since Liu Biao wanted to fight, the potter chose the warship as his home field.

Although the home field has a geographical advantage, the scourge of the confrontation between the two armies is indeed the home field, and the potters are reluctant to part with their own land.

After the spring of the first year of Jiankang, on April [-]th, the potters set out to worship the heavens in Nanchang City. They ordered Tao Ying and Lu Dai to guard the imperial capital of Nanchang. And go straight to Changwu County in Jiangxia County.

But Liu Biao assembled troops and horses, and sent out his army in Jiangling to worship the sky. The three Liu troops and Fu Wan went out together, and went straight to Jiangxia County Hui and Huang Zu to fight the pottery merchants.

This time, the pottery merchants let all the generals who are good at land warfare guard the central army, and the vanguard generals in the front are all naval generals, including Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Dong Xi, Xu Sheng, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, He Qi, Xian Yudan, Song Qian, Jia Hua, Xu Zhong and other twelve generals led the water army to divide and rule, echoing their own army at a distance, and marched westward by land and water.

But before the expedition, there was a small episode in the potter's camp.

A general came to ask a potter to be an official!

This person was Qu Yi, who surrendered to the pottery merchant during the Battle of Guandu.

When Qu Yi stood in front of the potter, there was no humility on his face. Instead, he was arrogant, arrogant, and not polite at all...

All in all, it looks like a lot of underpumping.

The pottery merchant can now understand Yuan Shao's mood back then.

With Qu Yi's beating nature, it's no wonder that the arrogant Yuan Shao didn't want to kill him.

The pottery merchant felt that his heart was broadened, but when facing Qu Yi, he still had the urge to rub his face on the ground.

There is no reason, just want to rub him.

In this world, there are really not many people who just look at their virtues without saying a word, and get punished.

"The last general has seen the prime minister." Qu Yi cupped his hands, speaking politely, but he couldn't hear it in his tone.

The potter flicked the dust off his sleeve lightly, and said, "So Mr. Qu, I don't know what's going on here today?"

Qu Yi was unceremonious, and said bluntly: "The prime minister is at the beginning, what is the promise of the end?"

The pottery merchant stroked his chin lightly, pondered for a while and said, "Tao has made many wishes in his life, and promised others a lot. I wonder which one General Qu is talking about?"

Qu Yi stared closely at the potter, and said: "When the last general surrendered to the prime minister, the prime minister promised the late general that he would support the emperor to ascend the throne in the future, and when the last general was granted a military post above the four township generals, did the prime minister ever Remember this?"

The pottery merchant laughed secretly in his heart, Qu Yi's memory is not bad.

He pretended to think carefully for a while, and said quietly: "It seems that there is such a thing?"

Qu Yi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Then I wonder when the prime minister will fulfill his promise to the last general?"

"But it seems that there is no such thing." The potter said quietly.

Qu Yi's eyeballs suddenly widened: "Prime Minister! You have to think hard about it! How could it not be?"

"Yes or no? I can't remember clearly, my mind is so messed up."

Koji took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

This was him, if it was someone else, Qu Yi kicked his balls to pieces.

"Teacher, don't you want to lie to the junior general!" Qu Yi was obviously a little unhappy.

The pottery merchant smiled slightly, and said, "General Qu really doesn't know how to tease, I'm coaxing you to play, can't you tell?"

your mother!

How old is I!

Playing with you?

Are you pretending to be my father?

The pottery merchant sighed, and explained: "Actually, I still have a free general who conquers the North, and I have been waiting for a vacant position. This is reserved for the general..."

Qu Yi almost didn't shout out when he heard the words.

Then you should quickly issue an imperial edict!

What are you still doing here!

Seeing the anxious expression on Qu Yi's face, the potter said slowly, "I'm just afraid that the generals will not be convinced."

Qu Yi stared at the words, and said, "Why don't you accept it?"

"Because the general has not made great military exploits."

Qu Yi almost jumped up out of breath when he heard that.

"Prime Minister, these words are a bit shameful! In the Battle of Guandu back then, if there was no last general, how could the Tao and Cao armies have defeated Yuan Shao? If there was no self, I am afraid that the Central Plains and Xuzhou are now in the hands of Yuan Shao. "

The smile on the potter's face remained unchanged, but in his heart he felt... very unhappy.

Sure enough, Qu Yi, who relied on the battle of Guandu, seemed a bit arrogant.

In his heart, he felt that without him, Qu Yi, he and Cao Cao might have been wiped out by Yuan Shao long ago.

He now considers himself the potter's benefactor.

If this makes him continue with this mentality, how will he manage the team in the future?
