There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Tian Feng stared at the pottery merchant seriously for a long time before he sighed: "Prime Minister Tao, have you sent troops to reinforce the grain store?"

The pottery merchant seriously agreed to him for a while, and then said: "Yes, the enemy is fully harassing tonight, and I'm afraid their soldiers will also harass Qigu. After all, it is the lifeblood of our army, so I will Send Zhao Yun there to assist Li Tong, who is guarding there, in case of accidents."

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "This step is really a wrong move."

The pottery merchant couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

I want to protect the lifeblood of the granary, so what could be wrong?

"The other party's move is to find out where your food and grass lifeline is. As long as you send troops to reinforce the food storage place, you will not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the enemy scouts. If my prediction is correct, you will leave Linzi after beating Zhao Yun. From the moment he headed to Qigu from the city, the eyes and ears of the enemy will probably be on him."

The pottery merchant stroked his chin and said calmly, "You mean, the purpose of the enemy's night attack on our army is to let me expose the location of the food storage? That's all."

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Of course not, and they will definitely send a team of the most elite soldiers and horses to take the opportunity to burn food!"

The potter lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, "Why are you so sure?"

Tian Feng walked to the edge of the city wall, pointed to the burning fire in the distance and the sporadic shouts of killing everywhere, and said: "Although the fire is fierce and the shouts of killing are everywhere, have you ever truly Have you received an emergency call from a certain camp?"

"no"

"That's right. If this is a large-scale night attack, but none of the camps sent people to ask you for help, what does that mean? It means that the defenses of the generals are relatively easy to deal with, and the reason why Such a situation shows that the opponent's night attack is just an offensive, but they are not fighting hard."

The potter suddenly said: "So that's how it is. They are just pretending to attack at will, and they don't want to really go all out."

"Unless there are other plans, why do you have to do this?" Tian Feng asked Tao Shang back.

The pottery merchant nodded, and said: "It seems that I have to go to Qigu in person. We were negligent. Thank you, Mr. Yuan Hao, for your reminder."

Chapter 8 Twelve Zhang Liao and Gao Shun

The pottery merchant just saw that the fires in the villages outside were relatively large, and he heard that the school government had reported the opponent's lineup of generals, so he dispatched all the heroic generals in Qufu City under his command. Now that he thinks about it carefully, it is more or less considered out of the opponent's way.

The pottery merchant turned his head to look at Tian Feng, and said suspiciously: "Since Mr. Tian followed me back to Xuzhou, he has been silent and never offered a single strategy. How did he change his temper today?"

Tian Feng couldn't help getting angry when he heard the words: "You have hurt me so badly, and you still expect me to flatter you?"

The pottery merchant laughed and said, "Then isn't your action today an act of flattery?"

"You..." Tian Feng flicked his finger angrily and pointed at his nose, and said: "You, you are so mad at me. Although I am annoyed at you, I have made a gentleman's agreement with you after all. Since you saved Yuan's With a trace of blood, the old man will naturally have to keep his promise and help you, but you have to give the old man some time to think!"

Looking at Tian Feng's angry look, he saw the pottery bowing to him: "Thank you for your help today, sir, for helping me out of a difficult situation. I will reward you dearly in the future."

Seeing the potter's attitude suddenly so humble, Tian Feng said, "Prime Minister Tao, this doesn't seem to be the attitude you should have? You don't seem to be the kind of person who would easily do such a humble thing?"

The pottery merchant smiled and said: "It's also a matter of business. What attitude should I have when dealing with a benefactor like Mr.? Naturally, what attitude should I have? Mr. is a person worthy of respect. As a junior, it is also reasonable for me to bow to you." As it should be."

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

However, Lu Su came to the potter's side and said, "Thanks to Mr. Yuan Hao's reminder, I was able to see the real intention of the other party's coalition forces. I am willing to lead an army to reinforce Qi Gu."

The pottery merchant shook his head and said: "You are sitting in the city and guarding the formation for me. Judging from the current situation, the other side should not launch a large-scale attack. As for Qi Gu, I will go there myself."

Lu Su hesitated a bit when he heard the words: "It's all right for the prime minister to rescue Qi Gu, but most of the strong generals in our army have been dispatched to support the rest of the camps right now, and the remaining generals may not be able to take on this important task." "

The pottery merchant was also a little regretful. He saw the camps on fire just now, and he heard the school office tell the opponent's lineup, so he dispatched all capable generals. Now it seems that it was a wrong decision. After all, those former The famous generals who came to attack the stronghold were essentially just to attract their own attention.

"If you don't have any generals, then just send a few captains and ordinary generals." The pottery merchant thought for a while, and then ordered: "If you think about it, it shouldn't be a big delay, after all, Tao has experienced a lot of battles. Even if there are no strong generals by your side, it’s fine, and there’s no problem with Zhao Yun and Li Tong there!”

But Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "The so-called son of a thousand gold can't sit still, the teacher, as the commander of the three armies, goes out in person, how can he not have a strong general to protect him? This is absolutely impossible."

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "The disciple is willing to go for the teacher."

The pottery merchant raised his hand, interrupted the conversation of the two of them, and said: "The attack on the granary is of great importance. There are many wise men in the opposing coalition army. Presumably, this matter will be entrusted to someone with both wisdom and courage, and the matter of grain and grain is related to our army." Lifeline, I don't worry."

The pottery merchant insisted on going, but Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi refused to give in. Just as they were arguing back and forth, they saw a big fat man striding towards them.

It is none other than Lu Bu!

Lu Bu didn't join the battle, not because he didn't want to help, but because the potter's weight loss plan had tortured him a lot these days.

Eating vegetables and radishes every day, and running with heavy loads under the urging of potters, Lu Bu felt that he was about to be wiped out.

In the middle of the journey, he wanted to give up a few times, but when he thought that he was played by Ma Chao like a dog, and Zhao Yun and Ma Chao fought back and forth, and finally suppressed Ma Chao, Lu Bu had a feeling in his heart. It's hard to calm down with a bad breath.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

One day, I will let you see the real body of this general!

But under this kind of high-intensity weight loss training, Lu Bu has almost no energy to share the worries of the potter.

"Son-in-law, I heard what you said." Although Lu Bu was still chubby, the flesh on his cheeks had obviously disappeared, and his cheekbones had some curvature, but it was obvious that he was still very haggard.

After all, this way of losing weight not only allows him to brush fat, but also loses a lot of muscle. Unfortunately, given the current conditions in the army, there is really no beef, chicken breast, or high-protein substances to supply him with muscle.

The pottery merchant looked at Lu Bu's haggard look, and couldn't bear it: "Father-in-law, why are you here?"

Lu Bu's face also looked sallow under the light of the torch in the dark night.

"Son-in-law, since there is a shortage of generals in the city, why don't you let me accompany you?"

The pottery merchant looked at Lu Bu's disheveled face, and the fat figure that was crumbling and almost unable to stand, and shook his head involuntarily.

"Father-in-law, forget it, you should live well."

A sad expression appeared on Lu Bu's face.

He also knew that it would be good if he didn't drag the potter back in the past, so what protection was there to talk about.

It's really a cowardly tiger licking flesh and blood, and an old wolf is full of shit.

He was silent for a while, as if he suddenly thought of something again.

"My son-in-law, this general is useless at present, but there are two more people, but you have forgotten them!"

"There are two more people?" The pottery merchant blinked suspiciously, "Who is it?"

"Zhang Liao and Gao Shun!" Lu Bu smiled weakly, "They used to be the two most capable generals under my command."

The potter suddenly slapped his forehead.

Yup!

These two people had just surrendered with Lu Bu, but he forgot about them.

Sima Yi said in a low voice: "Teacher, please consider this again."
