There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Seeing that the pottery merchant knew exactly what he was doing, Tian Feng let go of his worries, and said to the pottery merchant again: "By the way, Prime Minister, You Luzi from the school affairs office sent someone to send information during the day, saying that it was Jingzhou. Liu Bei is now in power."

The pottery merchant had just taken a sip of water with Jue, and couldn't help coughing when he heard the words.

He picked up the square towel on the table, wiped his mouth lightly, turned his head to look at Tian Feng, and said, "What's the matter?"

Tian Fengdao: "It is said that after Liu Biao was buried in Jingzhou, Liu Bei, Liu Qi, and Jingzhou gentry headed by Pang and others came together, and joined forces with Fu Wan and other old court and Chinese forces to secretly fight against Cai Mao and others. The roots are deep, but Liu Biao has made a lot of preparations to contain them these years. In addition, Liu Bei has pacified Jingnan, and he has already gained a reputation in Jingzhou. Taking the lead, the current Liu Bei can be said to be No.1 under the puppet emperor."

The pottery merchant smiled when he heard the words, but said nothing.

When Jingzhou’s imperial court was established, it relied on various forces to push the little emperor Liu Qiong to the throne. When they were under Liu Biao’s command, they had their own ghosts, and each of them was planning their own little abacus. Not to mention that Liu Biao is dead now.

However, Liu Bei's ability to overwhelm other forces in Jingzhou so quickly and win the top spot was far beyond the potter's expectations.

"Mr. Yuan Hao, in your opinion, Liu Bei took down Jingzhou, what should we do?"

Tian Feng said seriously: "What the Prime Minister has to do now is to sit in the Central Plains, stabilize the hearts of the people, and consolidate the prestige of the imperial court in the Central Plains. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get in. You might as well rely on the power of the Central Plains and force Jingzhou. Today, the only place in the world that has not yet been conquered by our dynasty is Guanzhong. Yizhou and Jingzhou are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Only Jingzhou Pictureable."

The potter felt that Tian Feng's words were very reasonable, and said: "Yuan Hao's words are very kind, I will send the army back to Xuchang to garrison now, the land of Xuchang is not far from Xiangfan, but if we turn to the south in a blink of an eye, will Cao Cao take the opportunity to kill out?"

Tian Feng carefully speculated for a while, and said: "I don't think so. After all, Cao Cao has lost Zhongzhou, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals. Their morale has fallen. I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize troops again for a while. , and although Cao Cao occupies Luoyang and Chang'an, and sits in Guanzhong, Cao Cao's prestige in Guanzhong, especially Liangzhou, is not that high there. Now that there is such a big disturbance in the Central Plains, Cao Cao is afraid that he will not dare to take it lightly. Leaving the gate."

The potter touched his chin and said, "That's right, those Guanzhong princes and Cao Cao both use and defend each other, Cao Cao may not be so relieved of them."

Tian Feng nodded and said: "That's right. Of course, if Cao Cao wants to come out of Guanzhong, it would be a good thing for the prime minister. In this way, we can fight him directly without crossing the huge barriers such as Hangu. He Le Instead of?"

The pottery merchant smiled when he heard this, and thought to himself that this old man really does not feel pain in his back while standing and talking.

That's Cao Cao, he's not a rookie, he's the one who gets stronger as he fights, how can he let you treat him like dough so casually?

After cleaning up the battlefield along the river bank, news came from Puyang that it was Cao Ang, Hao Zhao and other generals who abandoned the city, abandoned Puyang, and took refuge in Luoyang westward.

In this way, the government of Yanzhou was taken down, and the last nail in the Central Plains was pulled out by potters.

On the way back to Xuchang City, the three armies happened to meet with Tai Shici and others who had escorted Guo Jia.

Naturally, the pottery merchant was very happy to meet Guo Jia.

"You have made a great contribution this time." The pottery merchant stretched out his hand and patted Guo Jia's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Even Cao Ren was fooled by you. After this battle, Guo Fengxiao's reputation will surely spread to the world. State, admired by thousands of people."

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Don't use such nonsense to perfuse me, rewarding some gold toes is the real thing."

The potter whistled and looked away.

At this moment, Bao Zhong and Bao Tao walked up to the potter and knelt down on one knee.

"Meet the prime minister!"

"Please get up quickly!" The pottery merchant stretched out his hand to support the two of them, and said: "The two generals have made great achievements this time, and I have already submitted to the imperial court, and canonized the two generals as partial generals, waiting for the community."

Er Bao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly thanked the potter.

It's nothing more than a general, but he can still be a marquis?Er Bao was really overjoyed.

Especially in this community, it is said that many meritorious officials under the command of pottery merchants have received this canonization this year, so the fiefdom must be quite large.

It is said that the pottery merchant has conferred several people as office marquises, and their status is still higher than that of community marquises. It is a pity that the merits of the two brothers have not yet reached the standard and were not selected.

But being able to get a community honor is also a great joy in life.

After everyone returned to Xuchang City, the potter immediately held a banquet to honor the heroes of this battle, but before the banquet, he also took the lead in paying homage to the fallen soldiers.

For today's record, I don't know how many people buried their bones in other places, unable to return to their roots and hometown.

The generals relaxed as much as they did today after a long time, and each of them let go of their courage and got drunk.

I have been suppressed for too long, and finally I can find a chance to release it.

In the middle of the banquet, Xun Yu walked up to Guo Jia.

Seeing Xun Yu, Guo Jia stood up and said, "What advice do you have?"

"Come out for a walk with me." Xun Yu pointed to the outside of the hall where the banquet was held, and said to Guo Jia.

Chapter 823 A Shocking Battle

Guo Jia turned his head and glanced at the generals in the hall who were pushing cups and changing cups, shouting back and forth, thought for a while, and said, "Since Brother Ruo invited you, why not let me go with you?"

Xun Yu tensed his cheeks, turned and walked out of the hall.

And Guo Jia followed closely behind.

Although the actions of the two of them were secretive, they both fell into the eyes of the potter.

The pottery merchant watched the two go out, pondered for a long time, and was speechless for a while.

The two came to a quiet garden in the mansion, Xun Yu stopped and turned to look at Guo Jia coldly.

Guo Jia didn't seem to see Xun Yu's face, and said with a smile: "Brother Ruo, we haven't seen each other for many years. From now on, you and I will be ministers of the same palace. Guo feels deeply comforted. After so many years, I can finally Goodbye to these old friends in Yingchuan, how happy it is for everyone to help protect the Ming Lord together!"

Obviously, Guo Jia was very happy, but Xun Yu was not as excited as they were.

"Guo Fengxiao, you won. You are really good. All of us old friends from Yangdi in Yingchuan, each supported the Cao family. Only you followed the Tao family in Xuzhou, which no one was optimistic about. In the end, you relied on your own strength, It proves that among the friends of Yingchuan, everyone's vision is not as good as yours! Does it?"

Xun Yu's words sounded like he admired Guo Jia, but it was obvious that his tone was not quite right.

His tone was obviously full of unwillingness.

Guo Jia sighed, and said: "Brother Ruo, look at what you said, think about it carefully, it is actually a coincidence, I think that when Guo was unsuccessful under Yuan Shao's command, he returned to Yingchuan, let's talk to all old friends To invest in the important matter of He Fang Mingzhu, after all, the talents and learning of the friends in Yingchuan are unmatched in this world, if Guo is lucky enough to find a friend to help you with all the friends, it is really a blessing."

Xun Yu said indifferently: "That's what you said, but you didn't do it like that! When Xun chose Mr. Cao and led everyone to the Cao family, he also wrote to you, Guo Fengxiao, but what about you?" , but turned a blind eye, determined to make enemies of the old friends of the past, and now you assist the hero to achieve the great cause, but it is us and these old brothers, who deserve your mercy."

Guo Jia shook his head vigorously, and said: "Brother Ruo, you have misunderstood me. How can Guo Mou do such a villainous thing? I didn't intend to go to Xuzhou back then, but just"

Xun Yu frowned and said, "Just what?"

"It's just that I was kidnapped by Tao Xiang."

After the words were finished, there was no sound in the entire courtyard, and fallen leaves could be heard.

"Hey, Guo Fengxiao, if you don't want to tell me the truth, you don't need to say it. Why do you lie to me with these words here? Can't you treat Xun as a three-year-old child?"

Guo Jia stomped her feet angrily: "What did I lie to you!"

At this moment, a voice came from behind Xun Yu: "He was right, but I was the one who tied him to Xuzhou."

Xun Yu was so startled that he almost jumped up. He turned around hastily, but saw the pottery merchant standing behind him with a smile on his face.

"You, why are you here?" Xun Yu stammered and pointed at Tao Shang.
