There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"Okay!" The pottery merchant said to Zhuge Liang seriously: "Then you do the math for me, how many more wives can I get next year?"

Zhuge Liang's expression darkened upon hearing this.

"Can't figure it out."

"Then help me calculate how many pairs of children I can have next year."

"Can't figure it out."

"Then help me see how much tax I can get next year."

"I can't figure it out either."

The potter curled his lips slightly, and said in a low voice: "This can't be calculated, and that can't be calculated. The ancients did not deceive me."

Zhuge Liang's face turned red all of a sudden.

He faltered and said: "Teacher, this disciple feels that although the movement of heaven and celestial bodies can reflect all things in the world, not everything can be shown, especially some small things such as marrying a wife and having children."

"It's trivial for your teacher to marry a wife and have children? When you say this, won't your conscience hurt? I dragged you up with shit and urine."

"Teacher, when did you give me shit and pee?"

"I'm just telling a metaphor, can't you hear it?

While the two were talking about the movement of the celestial bodies, in the northwest, there seemed to be a faint flame rising into the sky, and in the night sky, there seemed to be a faint sound of shouting and killing.

The potter and Zhuge Liang hurriedly turned their heads to look.

"Where is that place? Is it our camp?"

Zhuge Liang frowned, and said: "Looking at the direction of the big camp, it seems to be General Tai Shici's camp, and it seems to have been attacked by someone."

The potter tapped the wall with his hands lightly, his brain was running fast.

Soon, Chen Deng, Sima Yi, Lu Su and others climbed to the top of the city and looked over with the potter.

Lu Su frowned, looked towards the fire, and said admonishingly, "Prime Minister, do you want to send troops to support General Taishi?"

"Don't worry for now." The potter said lightly: "Since the enemy dares to attack at night, it means that they must have made sufficient preparations. We currently have a lot of camps in Qufu. If the enemy sneaks into Tai Shici's camp, I don't know. Will they sneak attack elsewhere, we need to see what they are thinking first?"

As soon as the pottery merchant finished speaking, he saw fires in the southeast, northeast, and southwest directions, and there were faint sounds of killing, but they were not strong.

"That's the camp of Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng, Zang Ba and others!" Zhuge Liang frowned.

As Zhuge Liang's voice fell, I saw that the fires everywhere began to gradually increase, and some small fires could start a prairie fire.

Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "Teacher, why do I feel that the opponent's night attack tonight seems to be a full-scale attack?"

Chapter 8 Eleven

What Sima Yi said made sense. From Tao Shang's point of view, all the barracks on his side were being attacked by the enemy. To some extent, it seemed that it had been planned for a long time.

The potter gently tapped on the piles of the city wall with his fingers, carefully thinking about what he should do next.

When I was young, I saw him turn around and order: "Brother Feng Xiao, quickly dispatch the elite school officials from the school affairs office to find out which generals and schools of the enemy army are attacking our army's battalions? I want to see the other party's night attack , How big a battle is it?"

Guo Jia took the order to leave. He is the head of the school affairs office and has the most direct power to dispatch orders to the school affairs office. He personally orders, and in terms of speed, it is naturally the fastest.

After the order was issued, the potter looked carefully at the fires of the camps in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

The local army has just arrived at its own site, and the battle is nothing more than a small fight between Ma Chao and Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun. It can be said that neither the enemy nor the enemy has reached the stage of a full-scale attack.

Even if it is a night attack, there is no need to engage in such a big battle, right?

He turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Su, and Chen Deng behind him.

Obviously, these four people are also thinking about the tricks, but judging from their expressions, it's obvious that these four people don't think about it thoroughly.

And the flames in the distance, like a domino effect, the ignited flames continue to increase, and the shouts of killing are getting louder and louder, it feels like there are enemy troops in all directions.

Not long after, Guo Jia brought back news of the school affairs office.

"This time, the other side has made a lot of noise. The person who attacked Taishi Ci's camp is ugly. In addition, there are Cao Chun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, Pang De, Xia Houyuan, Huang Shao, and Liu Xun. When all the Cao generals went to battle, Ma Chao and Yan Xing, who were the vanguard of the enemy, were also attacking the camps of Gan Ning and Zhou Tai respectively. In Jingzhou, Liu Biao's men were led by generals Cai and Huang Zu. Jie, Su Fei, Liu Xian and other ministries have also been dispatched, coordinating with Cao Jun to harass our army's various ministries, but the enemy army doesn't seem to be fighting with all their strength. The generals who are stationed abroad are fully dispatched, and they are currently guarding their camps and dealing with each other."

The Tao merchant raised his eyebrows and said: "So, except for the princes of Guanzhong, basically everyone who should come out of the enemy army has come out?"

Guo Jia nodded.

At this time, Chen Deng stepped forward and said: "Although the enemy has many soldiers and horses and many generals, our army also has many soldiers and generals, so there is nothing to worry about. The prime minister only needs to mediate in the middle and send a school The government will investigate the situation at any time, no matter how capable Cao Cao and Liu Biao are, they will not be able to make any waves, but right now, there is one place that needs to be carefully guarded against."

The potter turned to look at him and said, "Where is it?"

Chen Deng said word by word: "It's our granary in Qigu."

Qigu is located 30 miles southeast of Qufu. It is located in a very secret place. It is a grain storage place under the eyes of pottery merchants. Basically, all the grain, grass and military equipment needed by the [-] army are stored there for the turnover of the three armies.

It can be said that Qi Gu's safety is related to the survival of the potters and the three armies.

The pottery merchant nodded, and said, "Yuanlong is right, please send Zhao Yun over quickly!"

When he was young, Zhao Yun came to the potter's side with great strides.

"The prime minister called me?"

"Second brother, you lead the Jinling White Horse Army and rush to Qigu to help defend. No matter what, the granary must not be lost."

Zhao Yun bowed his hands to accept the order, turned around and went back to order troops.

And the pottery merchants also began to issue military orders, asking the generals of the main camp in Qufu City to lead their troops to various camps for rescue.

Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Tao Ji, Jiang Qin, Hu Cai, Ji Ling, Dong Xi, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Guo Yuan and others led the expedition.

The potters, on the other hand, are sitting in Qufu City, waiting for the battle report ahead at any time, and manipulating the overall situation so that they can make strategic adjustments at any time.

At this moment, Pei Qian came to report that it was Tian Feng who asked to see him.

Since Tian Feng returned to Xuzhou, although he became a potter's subordinate in name, he seldom offered advice, and he lived reclusively on weekdays, basically belonging to the category with no sense of presence.

The Tao merchant knew that the reason why Tian Feng was still under his command was entirely due to the conditions he had reached with him back then, because he had preserved a bloodline of the Yuan family, that's all, nothing else.

When he was young, Tian Feng, led by Pei Qian, came to the tower.

The old man first looked at the raging fire burning in the distance, then he couldn't help but sighed, and said: "You people are still young and energetic. Youth is a good thing, but sometimes it is easy to ignore some of the most important things."

The potter raised his eyebrows and looked at him inexplicably.

"Mr. Yuan Hao, what do you mean by that?"
