There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Even though Sun Quan was intelligent, he couldn't help being dumbfounded at this moment.

After a long while, Fang heard Sun Quan say, "Prime Minister Tao, did you send spies to my house to eavesdrop?"

"Well, to be honest, there are indeed spies, but he probably didn't eavesdrop on your words. This is what I deduce."

The pottery merchant leaned forward and said: "But you must have noticed that there is a huge loophole in your plan, that is the importance I attach to you Sun Zhongmou, let me tell you, in my heart, your weight It is far heavier than Sun Ce, and much heavier!"

The sweat on Sun Quan's forehead began to trickle down in big drops.

"How does the prime minister want to deal with me?"

The Tao merchant looked at him with a smile and said: "Sun Zhongmou, you came to Pengcheng today, and I can only tell you one thing, that is, from now on, you will basically live here for the rest of your life! I will love you very much. Yes, you don't have to worry about me having something else to do, just leave first."

Sun Quan was completely anxious now, he never expected this to happen.

"Prime Minister, this!"

"Oh! That's right." The pottery merchant stood up and patted his forehead and said, "There is one more thing. Since your elder brother Sun Ce is seriously ill, he can no longer hold the official position, otherwise it will delay the court. thing."

After pondering for a while, Tao Shang continued: "You are Sun Ce's younger brother, so you will inherit the titles of Lujiang County Governor and General Against Rebels on your behalf."

Sun Quan asked in surprise, "What about my elder brother?"

"How fresh, your brother is of course white and recuperating at home."

Sun Quan said anxiously again: "What about me? I, I am the governor of Lujiang County now. If I stay here, I will provoke gossip from all over the world."

The pottery merchant waved his hand impatiently, and said: "There is not so much gossip. This is called Changju Gaodian, leading the Lujiang River from a distance. If it is in line with the rules, I still have something to do. Someone will arrange your residence in a while. Live well, if you are short of money tell me."

Watching the figure of the pottery merchant disappear at the entrance of the hall, Sun Quan couldn't help muttering silently: "What kind of business is this? What kind of business is this?"

The pottery merchant walked out of the meeting room, but he saw Diao Chan, Mi Zhen, newly married Lu Lingqi, Zhen Mi, Yuan Wan and others standing outside the door.

In addition, there are little Liu Xi and little Tao Ji.

The potter came up to them and said, "Let's go."

A group of people immediately left the courtyard, got into the carriage, and drove to the newly built palace in Pengcheng.

Pengcheng's palace hadn't been built for a long time, and a group of people went there to visit one person.

This person Zhen Mi has not met yet, but she has probably heard of her deeds.

A group of people came to the palace, but Ma Xun, the former servant of Liu Xie, came out to greet the potter's family in person.

The pottery merchant smiled and waved his hand, then let him lead the way.

When I came to the inner courtyard of the bedroom, I saw Tao Hua sitting on a wooden wheelchair designed by a potter, looking at the scenery in the courtyard.

After Tao Hua recovered from her injury, although her body was gradually recovering, her mind still ached from time to time, her thinking was unclear at times, and her body was weak.

The Tao merchant asked Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo to treat her. Although she was getting better day by day, she still hadn't fully recovered, and she still couldn't take care of herself to some extent.

"Sister, I'm back." The pottery merchant walked to Tao Hua's side and said in a low voice.

Tao Hua turned her head, looked at the potter for a while, and took a long time to react.

"Brother, you just got married, why are you here?"

Tao Shang said with a smile: "Doctor Hua said that you are in good health recently, so I brought your sister-in-laws here, and our whole family will have a meal together."

When the words fell, Mi Zhen had already come to Tao Hua with Liu Xi in her arms.

"Mother," little Liu Xi muttered softly.

"Good boy." Tao Hua stretched out her hand to touch Liu Xi's face, but felt that her hand had no strength, so she shook her head helplessly and lowered her hand.

The girls greeted Tao Hua, but Zhen Mi opened the food box in her hand, took out the dishes one by one, and placed them on the table in the pavilion in the courtyard.

The Tao merchant said to Tao Hua: "Sister, although you are only a distant relative with me, your injury was caused by me. I have always hoped to make it up to you. Now that your body is gradually recovering, and Xi'er is growing up day by day, it is still the case. Let him come back to you."

Tao Hua shook his head, and said: "Back when my brother and uncle recruited the ancestor's daughter into the palace, they also told us female family members the pros and cons of it, and let everyone choose whether to go or not. This road was pointed out by my brother, but it is I am willing to go, no matter what, I never want to be an unknown person. Now that I have become the mother of the Han Dynasty from an ordinary woman, this life is not in vain. Brother, you don’t have to feel sorry for me. As for Xi Son, with my current physical condition, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach him, so let him follow my brother in the future."

The pottery merchant smiled helplessly, and said: "The more you say that, the more guilty I feel, that's all, when you think about it in the future, let him come to your side to fulfill his filial piety."

Zhen Mi stood up, and delivered a mouthful of food to Tao Hua's mouth: "Queen Mother, please use."

Tao Hua opened her mouth to eat the food that Zhen Mi fed, looked at her carefully, and said with a smile: "Since when will there be such a beautiful and virtuous housewife by my brother's side? The newly hired Mrs. Lu is a heroine among women." , and the one in front of me seems to have a special charm, she seems to be a smart and intelligent woman."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Mi couldn't help but blushed, and said, "The Empress Dowager has praised you."

Tao Hua chuckled, then suddenly turned her head to look at Tao Shang and said, "Brother, there is one thing that my younger sister has always wanted to ask you, but I don't know if it is convenient for you to tell my younger sister."

Tao Shang said, "What do you want to ask, sister?"

"If one day the world is really unified, where does brother want to go?"

Chapter 8 and Three

After hearing Tao Hua's words, the pottery merchant more or less understood the metaphor in her words, and also knew what she was worried about.

He turned his head to look at the two children Xiao Liu Xi and Xiao Tao Ji who were playing and having fun over there.

Looking at the two innocent children, the potter turned to her and asked, "What do you think, sister?"

Tao Hua was silent for a while, then said: "I am from the Tao family, so naturally I will not fight with the Tao family."

"From my point of view, I will not fight with my sister." The pottery merchant said lightly: "Some things, just obey the destiny and do your best. If you think too much, it will be complicated, but as far as our generation and For the next generation, I have an idea."

"Brother, please tell me."

The potter moved his head closer and whispered in Tao Hua's ear.

A few days later, news came from the Central Plains that Cao Cao and the Sanliu Group had indeed taken action.

And this movement is not usually big.

Liu Biao assembled [-] elite soldiers in Xiangyang City, and Xichuan Liu Zhang sent [-] troops out of Xichuankou to Jingxiang from the middle of the river. It is bound for the Central Plains.

Judging from the marching route, they obviously have only one goal, and that is Xuzhou!

Of course, thanks to the pottery merchant's preparations, he has already assembled elite soldiers from all over the place under his command. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are all stationed in Xuzhou.

The enemy's military situation, general deployment, and military intelligence were all reported to the potter by Xu Rong, the current general of Pengcheng Guozhen.

"Prime Minister! The enemy forces are powerful and have already gathered in Zhongzhou. Liu is acting as the leader of the coalition forces and is responsible for the command and dispatch of all troops."

The "Zhongzhou Gathering" potter knocked on the table lightly, thinking while saying: "Compared to Liu Biao, I care more about Cao Cao. It turns out that he is really old and cunning, and he pushed the position of leader to Liu Biao. To a certain extent, it is to push all the responsibility for the conflicts that will arise in the Guanzhong princes, including Xichuan Liu Zhang's army, to him, just like Yuan Shao when the princes attacked Dong Zhuo. Hehe, Cao Cao at that time used Yuan Shao to It's not light."
