There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The pottery merchant pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and said: "Since my father-in-law has such a heart, my son-in-law will do his best, but losing weight is a long way to go. You have to work hard and be able to restrain yourself."

Lu Bu nodded his head half-understood. Suddenly, he felt his stomach rumbling, and then he turned his head and said to a wolf rider behind him, "Go get me some meat!"

"No!" The potter raised his hand, stopped the wolf rider, and said, "From now on, I will determine all your recipes. What you eat and what you are not allowed to eat every day must be in accordance with my standards." To be done."

Lu Bu was stunned at that moment.

After a while, Fang heard him muttering: "This, this is the beginning?"

The pottery merchant smiled and nodded, "That's the beginning."

At the same time, below the city, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao had fought for nearly a hundred rounds.

As the fight lasted longer, Zhao Yun's advantage became more and more obvious, and he began to gradually suppress Ma Chao.

Although it is not obvious, Ma Chao is indeed starting to lose a little bit of the wind!

Ma Teng saw clearly from behind, he hastily urged Wang Wei and said: "General Wang, when two tigers fight, one of them will be wounded, so hurry up and call for gold, let my child withdraw."

Yan Xing said beside him: "Meng Qi's strength is not bad, a young hero, he will surely return to capture the flag, and if you ask for gold now, will it ruin Meng Qi's big event?"

Ma Teng wished he could punch Yan Xing's mouth.

He didn't look at this despicable villain, but continued to say to Wang Wei: "General Wang, when two tigers fight, one must be injured. If it is not necessary, the old man thinks it is not worthwhile to let the general take such risks."

Wang Wei is a general in Jingzhou. Although he is in charge of various ministries, he is not the highest when it comes to status. He has to be cautious when interacting with Ma Teng, Yan Xing, Ling Bao and others.

Seeing the anxious expression on Ma Teng's face, he secretly thought that if the coalition forces really killed Ma Teng's son in the first battle against the pottery merchants, don't look at him as just a small prince, and he would not be able to explain it later.

"Command! Mingjin!"

Following Wang Wei's shout, the clear and crisp sound of Mingjin sounded in the coalition forces.

Hearing the voice, Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Yun, and vigorously swung the halberd he was pressing on his spear away!

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and said angrily, "Lv Bu, just wait! After I return to the formation and change my horses, I will come to take your dog's life."

Zhao Yun glanced coldly at the opponent's gradually changing formation, and said lightly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to get out after you return to the formation. Just remember, my name is Zhao Yun, not Lu Buye. I'm going to attack the one you laid down in front of the formation today." Prison car and banner, next time we meet, I will definitely kill you, remember it well!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun turned his horse's head and galloped towards the city.

At this time, the main force of Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others had not yet entered the Xuzhou territory. Although the coalition forces were huge, they were all cobbled together. , so to a certain extent, the time for advancing troops was delayed.

The so-called military speed is precious, but there are difficulties in front of us that cannot be solved.

As the commander of the coalition forces, Liu Biao was very troublesome.

The Kwantung princes, the Xichuan Army, the Cao Army, and even his own Jingzhou Army, have to report to him, the lord, the daily conflicts or miscellaneous matters of the various ministries. He must deal with everything carefully and be calm. deal with.

He is the leader of the alliance, so many pairs of eyes are fixed on him. If he is biased, it may affect the morale of the coalition forces and his own reputation.

Liu Biao regretted it very much now. If he had known this before, he would have given this leader to Cao Cao.

Compared with Liu Biao, Cao Cao is very comfortable now.

In his handsome tent, he was thinking about his little Jiujiu.

"Letter from Yan Xing, Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, and Lu Bu, Zhao Yun had a fierce battle respectively. Lu Bu was defeated and tied with Zhao Yun."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said, "Lü Bu's defeat? Hehe, that's interesting. Did Ma Chao kill the general of Tao Shang's army?"

Xun You said slowly: "In Yan Xing's reply, he said that he originally wanted to facilitate this matter, but Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, tried his best to prevent it. In the end, Ma Chao and Tao Jun were not allowed to have an enmity. Two games."

Cao Cao sneered when he heard the words, and said, "It seems that this Ma Shoucheng still has his own little thoughts. Hehe, is this giving himself a way out? This treacherous old guy."

Xun You smiled when he heard the words, and said, "But it's hateful."

Cao Cao stood up, studied Pitu carefully, and said, "The pottery merchants set up seven large camps next to Qufu. In addition, he himself sits in the city, which can be said to be impenetrable, but with so many soldiers and horses, so many mobilizations. , there must be a unified granary as a turnover, if we can find this place, even if there are millions of potters, the army of pottery merchants will be destroyed overnight."

Xun You sighed, "It's a pity that pottery merchants are not idle people. It's not easy to cut off his food and grass."

Cao Cao nodded, and said: "Of course Cao understands this truth, but the most urgent thing right now is to have a wise and courageous person to test the situation of the pottery camps. It is best to attack at night. In this way, we can definitely see the clues, and maybe we can also speculate where the pottery stores store grain."

Xun You pondered for a while, and said, "Which general under his command does Sikong plan to use for this great event?"

Cao Cao said indifferently: "First of all, this matter needs to be reported to the leader, and second, Cao doesn't want to use his soldiers to do such a dangerous thing. If you don't use my soldiers, who can do it?"

While Cao Cao was thinking hard, Dian Wei walked into the commander's tent and said to him, "Sikong, the left general Liu Bei has come to see you."

Chapter 8, Chapter [-], Cao Liu, Ji Tao

As soon as Dian Wei finished speaking, Cao Cao became excited.

Just now he was still discussing with Xun You who should be sent to attack the pottery merchants at night to find out the truth of the other party, but now Liu Bei jumped out all of a sudden.

This is tantamount to being taken advantage of by sending it out of thin air.

After careful consideration, the height, shortness, fatness and thinness of this taken advantage of is just right.

"General Liu please come in."

Dian Wei took the order and left, but when he was young, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei entered Cao Cao's command tent.

"Mr. Xuande!" Cao Cao stepped forward to hold Liu Bei's hand with a smile, and said, "Why did you come so late?"

Liu Bei was a little surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect Cao Cao to treat him with such enthusiasm.

But the astonishment was only for a moment, and Liu Bei showed his usual spring smile on his face: "The military is busy, so I didn't come to see Cao Sikong early, please don't blame Sikong."

"What did Mr. Xuande say? Come! Sit down!"

Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to sit sideways, facing Xun You, while he himself sat in the main seat, and Zhang Fei stood behind Liu Bei.

"Mr. Xuande, I don't know what to do when you come here this time?"

Liu Bei cupped his hands at Cao Cao, and said: "Brother Jing Sheng is the leader of the alliance, and he has a lot of chores. Right now, he doesn't have a good idea on how to attack Tao. He wants to share his worries, but he is so humble and unbearable. Great use, Cao Sikong is an outstanding man in the world, he uses soldiers like a god, and he is the opponent of the pottery merchant, and I am here today because I want to discuss with Sikong the important matter of breaking the pottery."

Cao Cao stroked the beard on his chin and said, "According to Mr. Xuande, how should we deal with the potter?"

Liu Bei sighed, showing a trace of loneliness on his expression, and said: "To tell the truth, Bei has been thinking hard for several days, but he has no particularly good strategy, so he came to ask Sikong for advice when he was at a loss."

Cao Cao was ecstatic in his heart, but he also showed a look of embarrassment on his face, saying: "The pottery merchants are not short of money, ironware, soldiers, and food, but it is extremely difficult to deal with it. With Cao, he wants to defeat him head-on. Pottery, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult."

Hearing this, Liu Bei sighed, "Hearing what Sikong said, is there really no other way?"

"There is a way, but I don't know if it will work." Cao Cao said slowly.
